Chapter 171 Found
Yangcheng.
Zi Shaoqing just got the report that Hou Boxu's family had been found.
Coincidentally, registration is required for the launch of the large-scale spiritual boat on the Yangqing route.
And they found that a total of six families with the Hou surname were registered, and one of them was named "Hou Zhongying".
The person in charge asked a few more questions and unfolded the portrait with hair down.
Ask him if he recognizes the person in the painting and if he recognizes the magical weapon in the painting.
"This man's name is Hou Boxu. This is what he looked like fourteen years ago."
When Hou Zhongying saw the portrait, his first reaction was fear. He didn't dare to recognize it. He wanted to fool him, but he was still registered and saw the clues.
The above meaning is that no matter whether it is an enemy or an acquaintance, as long as there is a reaction, they will be detained.
The man was detained like this without any torture. The moment he was taken down, Hou Zhongying confessed that Hou Boxu was his eldest brother.
Rong'er hurriedly reported the news.
"I found his brother. Did his brother tell me where he went?"
"Young Master, Hou Boxu is a disciple of Qingyun Temple. He disappeared fourteen years ago and his whereabouts are still unknown."
"If we go to Qingyun Temple to verify, it would take two or three years to go back and forth even with a large spiritual boat."
Listening to Rong'er's words, Zi Shaoqing narrowed her eyes slightly and recalled the words of the ghost cultivator named Li. Fourteen years ago, he found his family in the Hou family in Yangcheng.
‘Could it be that he is Hou Boxu? ’
The idea was dismissed by Zi Shaoqing as soon as it came up.
If that ghost cultivator is Hou Boxu, there is no way he doesn't even know his own family, and he will definitely return home as soon as he enters the city.
Did he lose his memory after becoming a ghost cultivator? Probably not.
Either there is kindness or there is hatred.
From the looks of it, it doesn't look like the Foundation Establishment cultivator has any grudge against him.
That is kindness.
Since you don’t understand, it’s better to ask in person.
Now that they have been found, there is reason to contact the ghost cultivator again.
The elixir provided by the ghost cultivator is indeed very powerful. In this month, Zi Shaoqing can clearly feel the improvement of his cultivation. Not only that, it also nourishes the soul.
It's a pity that Master has been in retreat and couldn't find a chance to talk to Master about this matter.
No matter what, keep the people first.
"Let's go to the inn to find them."
The two of them arrived at the inn in a hurry without any pretense.
Upon seeing Zi Shaoqing, a foundation-building senior, the graceful woman at the counter suddenly became more reserved and nervous.
Rong'er hurriedly asked: "Where is the senior Zhuji who lives in No. 15?"
"That senior left a month ago."
"gone?"
Zi Shaoqing's voice was a few points higher. She originally wanted not to disturb other people's normal lives so as not to annoy people, but she didn't expect that when she came to look for her, everyone had already left.
Foundation-building monks have a long concept of time, and this journey may take several years.
If something unexpected happens again, such as being trapped in a dangerous place and unable to return, the supply of elixirs will be cut off.
Zi Shaoqing couldn't help but feel annoyed, she should have picked him up.
"When did you leave? I didn't say where you went."
The female cultivator who received him was startled. She didn't know why the senior had such a big reaction.
He hurriedly said: "He left a month ago, and there is also a foundation-building senior wearing a black robe. By the way, he wrote a letter and said that if anyone comes looking for him, he will give the letter to the person looking for him."
Zi Shaoqing snatched the letter half way through.
Zi Shaoqing tore open the seal on it and quickly browsed it.
"I have something to do, so I'll be away for two or three months."
"..."
"If fellow Taoist Zi finds them, please treat them well and return soon."
"Li Qingfeng, stay."
Zi Shaoqing let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was news. If there was no news at all, it would be troublesome.
After walking out of the inn, Rong'er half-knelt on the ground: "Young Master, it's all your slave's fault. You didn't even pay attention to me."
Zi Shaoqing waved her hand and said, "I don't blame you."
"They didn't even check out the guest room, and even handed over half a month's worth of spiritual stones, just to tell us that they didn't leave."
"And he left in the middle of the night, and the doorman didn't get any news."
"This is my fault. I thought they would stay in Yangcheng and not leave, so I didn't bother them."
Zi Shaoqing did not pursue the responsibility. She had long legs on her body. Even if they had said hello in advance, she must have made a decision before leaving and would not disrupt her plan due to other things.
No one knows how long the search will take.
If it weren't for Hou Zhongying sending his son to Qingyun Temple, it would have taken a long time to find Hou Boxu's family.
"Have the arrangements been made over there?"
"Young Master, don't worry. Arrangements have been made. Not only have the location been found, but the population of their family has also been found. Hou Zhongying has also been put back."
"That's good."
"This time, we must send someone to keep an eye on him."
Starry sky.
Hou Zhongying led her ten-year-old son on the way home.
He was terrified, and even more at a loss when he suddenly learned the news.
The eldest brother is missing. Unexpectedly, the nobles in Yangcheng are looking for him.
I originally thought that the eldest brother was making enemies outside, and the enemy was looking for him, but it didn't look like he was making enemies.
The steward was respectful and did not neglect at all, and even arranged their meals so that they had a full meal before sending them back.
However, the other party refused to give them the tickets to leave Yangcheng for the large-scale spirit boat.
In this case, Congcong would not be able to take a large spiritual boat to Qingyun Temple.
"Dad, it hurts me."
Hou Zhongying quickly let go.
I was distracted all afternoon. I was really uneasy and didn't know what was going on.
Push open the little fence gate.
Then he walked into the back room where the lamp was being held.
Wang Yu, who was mending clothes in the room, looked at the child next to Hou Zhongying and was stunned for a moment: "Why are you back again?"
Hou Zhongying should be back by himself now.
Hou Jingcong should follow the large spiritual boat on the Yangqing route to Qingyun Temple.
There are disciples stationed at Qingyun Temple on the large spiritual boat. After entrusting them, Hou Jingcong can join the sect with the token passed down from his family.
Hou Zhongying sighed, took out the tobacco bag from his waist, pressed the tobacco leaves and lit the flame.
The tobacco burned and shone brightly.
After taking two puffs, Hou Zhongying said, "Something happened. Yangcheng won't give us a ticket to board the boat."
"Why don't they do it?"
"It's not like we don't pay the spirit stones. I've never heard of anyone not giving us a receipt."
"Full capacity?"
Hou Zhongying shook his head: "The boss's idea."
"I went to apply for a receipt today and asked for my address and name. When I reported it, the person in charge took out a picture."
"He asked me if I recognized the person in the picture."
"You don't know who that person is."
"The person in the picture is my eldest brother, Hou Boxu."
"I recognized him the first time I saw him. At that time, I was so confused that I didn't dare to recognize him. They immediately detained Congcong and me."
Hou Zhongying told his wife what happened today.
He thought about this matter and felt something was wrong.
No matter how powerful his eldest brother is, he is still at the fourth level of Qi training, but he is not worthy of Yang Cheng's efforts. There must be something hidden that they don't know.
However, those in charge didn't reveal anything to him. They just told him not to leave recently and to stay at home.
No matter who this is, Hou Zhongying even felt that it was his eldest brother who had made a big mistake.
The needle and thread in Wang Yu's hand were frightened, and she looked obviously flustered: "Master, it won't be a big deal, right?"
"Who knows?" Hou Zhongying was bored.
It would be nice if you could give me some pleasure.
I don't know what is really scary.
"You have to talk to Jing Yan about this. After all, he is still my eldest brother's son."
"Don't let Jing Yan know about it for now, it will do more harm than good." Hou Zhongying shook her head.
There are only two huts in the house. Hou Zhongying and his family sleep in the inner room, and Hou Jingyan sleeps in the outer room.
Working in the mines from dawn to dusk every day only costs five spiritual stones a month. After paying the living expenses, there is nothing left.
Before dawn the next day, Hou Jingyan went out.
Life in the mine was equally uncomfortable. He was accompanied by a boy who was younger than him, but they could still talk to each other.
"Jing Yan, if you ask me, you shouldn't give up your spot."
"Your ancestors were rich and had resources that would allow you to move forward better. This is what you have to do if you give up your quota."
Faxiao, who was pulling at the earthen basket with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, continued: "Your second uncle's family is partial, so it's best to separate the family as soon as possible."
Hou Jingyan just listened, waving a small pickaxe to pull away the waste rocks piled up in the mine tunnel in front of him.
…
The speed of the spirit boat is very fast.
Coupled with the supply of spiritual stones, it took one month to reach Yangcheng from Beiluoshan.
Tu Shanjun used the spirit turtle fetal breath technique to suppress his own cultivation aura and remained in the middle stage of foundation building.
With his peak foundation-building strength, monks who are not at the same level or much higher than him cannot easily discover his hidden cultivation.
The original disguise was too simple, but now that he has reached the peak of foundation building, the disguise is even better.
Tu Shanjun still thinks that he should buy two magical weapons or magic weapons for disguise.
I mentioned this idea to Ding Xie, and Ding Xie quickly gave him some knowledge about how precious the magic weapon was.
Those who have magic weapons as foundation-building monks are either having adventures or are from well-off families.
Although the magic weapon is powerful, it consumes a lot of mana. The foundation-building monks only use it a few times. The one who really uses the magic weapon is Jindan Zhenren.
I didn't continue refining elixirs on the way, as those things could easily explode.
This time when I return to Yangcheng, I have to spend money to find a spiritual fire that can make elixirs.
I have done a lot of research on the talisman array, but I can sell some of the talismans.
Among the three main themes of cultivating immortals and performing a hundred arts, Fu Lu has gone the furthest.
Ding Xie was a free and easy person, so the two of them didn't talk about the bad things about his family on the way.
There is no need to say it over and over again, you will be annoyed even if others don’t bother you.
The top priority is to first earn spiritual stones and buy spiritual objects.
When we returned to Yangcheng Tushanjun, we were already familiar with the roads.
As soon as the two entered the city, the doorman who had already received the news quickly used the teleportation talisman.
Rong'er hurriedly went to report to Zi Shaoqing: "Young Master, they are back."
"Don't just come and report after two mid-stage foundation constructions."
"It's true this time, they went directly to the inn."
Zi Shaoqing suddenly looked happy, and her joy could be felt even through the veil.
He stood up and said, "I'll go and invite people myself."
