I have been planning this for a long time!!!

Chapter 49: The Strange Tree and the Nun (Fourth Update)

Light snow, cold wind.

On the big tree outside Niujia Village, the human skin was still swaying in the wind along with the embroidered shoes, looking particularly terrifying.

At this time, two nuns appeared under the tree.

One of the nuns was about forty years old and looked quite gentle, like a piece of well-maintained old jade; the other nun was in her twenties, with delicate features, but a hint of hostility between her eyebrows, which made people feel a little scared.

This young nun was naturally the straw man who had successfully returned to the afterlife that day. Her Buddhist name was Lingyu, and she was a rare species.

She looked at the human skin and asked, "Sister, who did this?"

The middle-aged nun watched all this and shook her head, saying, "The technique was very clever. They used lightning and fire to directly destroy the magic weapon's body, leaving no trace. It will be very difficult to trace it."

At this moment, the nun Lingyu couldn't help but reveal her sharp white teeth and said, "Sister, who else in the North dares to attack us?"

The middle-aged nun's expression remained gentle as she sighed, "This world is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, so it's inevitable that there are some masters. Miaofa went there this time, and we can only say that she was unlucky. Lingyu, although you are a natural-born alien, your murderous aura is actually a disadvantage. If you really want to follow me, it's best to restrain your aura."

"Yes." The nun Lingyu immediately lowered her head and answered respectfully.

The middle-aged nun spoke in a very calm tone, which could even be said to be as gentle as her appearance, but it made Lingyu nun a little afraid.

"Sister, could it be the person from before? After all, this place is not far from Linshui Town." Lingyu nun said.

The middle-aged nun raised an eyebrow and said, "Why? Haven't you suffered enough at his hands?"

The nun Lingyu didn't dare to answer.

"If it's really him, then he's declaring war on us. Although Taohua An doesn't want to offend the powerful, not everyone can get ahead of us."

The middle-aged nun's words were very clear. If Gu Jiu did it again this time, she would not mind becoming an enemy of this "master" who could kill souls.

In fact, Taohua An had never suffered such humiliation even when facing the Ba Xue Liu Pavilion, the number one sect in the north, let alone Gu Jiu, who was currently just a casual cultivator.

The only question now is whether Gu Jiu did it?

Apart from the fact that the other party lived in Linshui Town, not far from here, there was no other evidence to prove it.

The other party's method was very sophisticated, and even this middle-aged nun could not find any clues.

"Since Miaofa is dead, there is no need for this point to exist." The middle-aged nun said lightly.

"Yes!" replied the nun Lingyu.

Then, the nun Lingyu waved her hand and sprinkled some black powder on the roots of the tree.

Then the entire tree, which was already in a state of decline, withered visibly until all its leaves fell off, its branches twisted, and it looked charred as if it had been struck by lightning or fire.

From a distance, it looks like a huge twisted patient.

And those brightly colored embroidered shoes became dull in an instant, and hung together with the dead body's skin, they looked extremely decadent and gloomy.

Afterwards, the two nuns gradually disappeared into the wilderness, and their whereabouts were unknown...

Gu Jiu has been home for three days. Today is New Year's Eve and the house is very lively.

Apart from some minor conflicts he had with Gu Ningshuang before, the family was full of joy and harmony.

Gu Xinyue originally wanted to intervene in the matter of Gu Jiu joining the fake sect, but Gu Ningshuang had made a bet with the other party, so she couldn't interfere.

As for who will win this bet, is there anyone in the family who is betting on Gu Jiu?

Yes, in the whole family, I’m afraid Gu Jiu is the only one who thinks he can win.

During this period, Old Man Gu's face was always smiling.

Ever since Gu Jiu and Gu Xiaoxiao left home, Gu Xinyue, who felt a little lonely, has become more and more gentle to her husband, so Old Man Gu's living standard has also improved a lot. How can he not be happy?

These days, Gu Xiaoxiao has been pestering Gu Jiu, which makes Gu Ningshuang quite unhappy.

You know, during the Chinese New Year in the past, Gu Xiaoxiao always pestered her.

When did Gu Jiu replace his position?

Gu Xiaoxiao had tried several times to get Gu Jiu to go up the mountain with her, but Gu Jiu always scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Xiaoxiao, do you think your brother is useless and will definitely lose to Big Sister?"

"Of course not! I'm just worried about you." Every time this happened, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to do.

Two days after Gu Jiu returned home, the two of them gave each other a silent hug in front of the door, which was filled with a different kind of emotion.

It was clearly a hug between brother and sister, but there was a special emotion in it, which made the relationship between the two people a little complicated.

In fact, all of this fell into the eyes of Old Man Gu.

There was nothing wrong with a hug between siblings, but he still felt that the atmosphere was not right.

At this time, Old Man Gu couldn't help but think of some other things. Finally, he sighed and said nothing.

……

After finding that persuading Gu Jiu failed, Gu Xiaoxiao began to inquire about the situation of Qingliu Academy.

Gu Jiu's answer was simple. "Master and Senior Sister are both doing well. They eat and drink well. Xiaoxiao, don't you think your brother's waist has gotten better?"

Gu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said, "I haven't tried it, so how do I know if your waist has gotten better? Besides, aren't you still lying down like before?"

After hearing this, Gu Jiu felt that he was thinking in the wrong direction, and couldn't help but pick up the kettle to drink water to ease the embarrassment. However, he choked and the water sprayed on Gu Xiaoxiao's skirt, which made him even more embarrassed.

Gu Xiaoxiao ignored the water on her skirt, and just looked at Gu Jiu thoughtfully, saying, "Brother, I think you've become more talkative since you came back."

"Hmm? Is there?" Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows.

Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly and asked, "Were you having a great time chatting with Senior Sister and Master in the academy?"

Gu Jiu said hurriedly, "How could I? They are both bookworms, either studying or sleeping. Xiao Hui and I talk more."

These days, Gu Xiaoxiao really likes this gray donkey. She thinks it is not only cute but also very sensible.

Xiao Hui: "MMP, the boss's family, how can they not understand things?"

After Gu Jiu killed the human-skinned ghost with his bare hands, Xiao Hui respected Gu Jiu even more.

If Xiao Hui could speak, he would definitely say, "I'm not saying anything, but compared to me, Xiao Hui, everyone here is rubbish!"

Just when Gu Jiu and his family were celebrating the New Year, the Lingyu nun appeared outside Linshui Town.

She did not set foot in Linshui Town because Taohua An had promised Gu Jiu that she would not easily set foot in this land again.

But her eyes were clearly filled with a cold clarity, as if she had remembered something quite funny, and she couldn't help but open her pretty lips, revealing a cold smile.

Chapter 50: Quarrel? When did the quarrel happen?

During the Spring Festival, Linshui Town is covered with snow every year, and the cold wind is as sharp as a knife.

This is actually the warmest and happiest time for every family.

After being busy all year long, women can finally enjoy this rare leisure time by hiding in a warm house with their families.

A virtuous husband, obedient children, and the hope that the coming year will be less difficult.

But this year, people in Linshui Town always feel that life is a little harder, all because of the tragic massacre of the Liu family in the town this year.

This can be regarded as the most horrific murder in the town in many years, and it also made more people realize that ghosts are not too far away from them.

You know, although there were occasional rumors of ghosts in the past, and one or two people would occasionally disappear from the town for no reason, these things did not spread widely.

Once the government put pressure on them, they said that he had gone to seek refuge with relatives or was eaten by wild beasts, and they were able to get away with it.

But the tragedy of the Liu family was different. The Liu family was a wealthy family in the town. Not only did the entire family, as well as hundreds of relatives and friends, die overnight, but even the lives of several constables were lost. This matter could not be suppressed.

During that period, everyone in the town was in panic, and many people chose to flee Linshui Town.

If people had not heard that Taohua An had handled the matter and nothing strange had happened in the town, Linshui Town would probably have been in depression.

This fear gradually faded after a year, but it still casts a shadow in the hearts of many people.

Humans are good at forgetting, but we still have to remember something.

If it is something far away from oneself or has little to do with oneself, people may be happy to watch the excitement, but once this matter threatens one's own interests and life safety, it is probably not so easy to forget.

What made the townspeople feel a little relieved was that the head of the police, Lu Fang, announced that the evil had been solved by the nuns of Taohua Temple, and the town had indeed been peaceful for the past year.

During this period, Gu Jiu was thinking and felt that Taohua An was really an outlier.

A sect composed of ghosts and monsters is also responsible for dealing with strange events in this area. Such behavior is really too arrogant.

This is as absurd as letting a murderer be a police officer.

Through the incident at Qingxi Academy, it can be seen that these sects in the north are not completely indifferent to the attitude of the people towards them.

This feeling is that the sect in charge of the jurisdiction wants to become the faith of the local people.

At this time, Gu Jiu couldn't help but think of the wild gods in the deserted villages.

Those places have been basically abandoned by the sects because of their sparse population. However, Linshui Town is not too far from the big city of Yanyang, and the population of the surrounding villages is not small either. Why was it also abandoned?

Interests, this is the first thing that Gu Jiu thinks of.

He felt that the price of gaining control of the hundreds of miles around Linshui Town was too high, so almost all the sects in the north gave up.

The imperial court also turned a blind eye to this. It was said that the court led by Empress Wu Mei had reached its peak of strength in a thousand years, but Gu Jiu could not feel it at all here.

In other words, both the northern sects and the imperial court tacitly acknowledged the existence of Taohua An.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but think of the second possibility, that is, the power behind Taohua An is most likely a sect, or the imperial court?

In this chaotic world, it is not impossible for some forces to expand their influence by raising ghosts or supporting ghosts.

The more Gu Jiu thought about it, the more confused his mind became, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

If this world is really so complicated and dark, maybe I really need to change it.

Seeing Gu Jiu lying there with a frown on his face, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but walk over and asked, "Brother, are you worried about something?"

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Gu Xiaoxiao said, "In Xiaoxiao's impression, you are usually lazy even when you are awake. How can you frown like now? Brother, why do I feel that you have changed a lot after being away for a year?"

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I also miss the days when I could only sleep. But now that my waist is healed, I always tend to daydream."

"Then what are you thinking about?" Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly leaned down and asked seriously.

Gu Jiu glanced at his sister's more mature face, and more mature..., coughed, and said, "I'm thinking about some things about cultivation. Xiaoxiao, have you heard of Taohua An in the sect?"

Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Taohua Nunnery? Isn't that the nunnery three hundred miles away?"

Gu Jiu said, "I want to know, Taohua An is also considered a cultivation sect, so is it listed in the imperial court's scriptures?"

Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Maybe my elder sister knows more about this kind of thing. How about I ask for you?"

Gu Jiu was about to speak when a cold snort was heard.

Gu Ningshuang, wearing a well-fitting light blue sword robe, walked over and said, "Yes, of course I'm here. Everyone at Qingliu Academy is a member, so how could Taohua An not be a member? And Taohua An, like our Yunshan Sword Sect, has its own divisions, unlike some other academies..."

Gu Ningshuang was still a little bothered by Gu Jiu's comparison of Qingliu Academy and Yunshan Sword Sect, so she wanted to use this as an opportunity to mock her. Unexpectedly, instead of getting angry, Gu Jiu turned around, smiled, and said, "Thank you for telling me, big sister."

Hey, do you understand what I mean?

Seeing this, Gu Ningshuang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Gu Jiu has been cold-hearted since childhood and doesn't care about people or things he doesn't care about.

Gu Ningshuang was not someone he cared about, so her words did not carry much weight in his heart, and he really did not care how she evaluated him.

In addition, Gu Jiu acknowledged this fact. The academy didn't have much territory, so he thought the other party was being very objective.

The sarcasm was filtered out, and the other party's words answered his doubts. Gu Jiu's inner clarity was naturally consistent with the expression on his face.

The reason why he had a little argument with Gu Ningshuang that night was because Gu Ningshuang dissed Qingliu Academy in front of people he cared about, and it was clearly too subjective.

There was more than just him in Qingliu Academy, there were also his aunt and senior sister whom he cared about.

Dissing Qingliu Academy was equivalent to dissing the efforts of Xiaoqi and Su Ying, so Gu Jiu, who should not have had clarity at the time, had a little clarity, but he forgot it in the blink of an eye.

After seeing Gu Jiu answering her with such a smiling face, Gu Ningshuang, who had wanted to mock Gu Jiu, felt a little embarrassed.

She muttered something like "something's wrong with her brain", then left with her cheeks slightly red, looking a little embarrassed.

Gu Xiaoxiao was also a little puzzled, and looked at Gu Jiu and said, "Brother, weren't you arguing with my eldest sister?"
