Infinity through different life

Chapter 2 Not Artificial
It's not that Xu Jing has never seen a dead person before, but this is the first time he has seen so many corpses with the same dead appearance in front of him.

"Xiaolian, leave quickly."

He didn't want to stay for a moment, and most of the common people who followed to see the excitement, after taking a look at it, turned around and ran away in panic.

Those who insisted on staying here were either those officials who were ordered to come here, or some stupid haters who were heartless and fearless of death.

"The Tang family looks like it's over." Xiao Lian pushed Xu Jing away and said, "I don't know which master in the Jianghu did this. Why haven't I heard of the same thing before."

Rivers and lakes...

Xu Jing felt heavy. Thinking of the death of those in the Tang Mansion, he fell silent and became stunned.

Xiao Lian didn't speak anymore, she pushed Xu Jing silently, and quickly returned to Xu's residence.

Noon.

Xu Maozong, with a gloomy face, hurried back from outside and plunged into the study.

Xu Maozong, as the county lieutenant of Guishuicheng, also saw him when Xu Jing went to Tang Manor to watch the fun in the morning, but he didn't go to say hello because the prefect was present and he was frightened.

Seeing his uncle come back now, Xu Jing immediately asked Xiao Lian to push him to the study.

In the study room, Xu Maozong was holding a brush, recording something in a book that Xu Jing had never seen before.

After seeing Xu Jing, he forced a smile, took a miscellaneous book next to him, covered it on the book where he had just recorded things, and said hello: "Jing'er."

"Little Lian, wait outside, I have something to say to Uncle." Xu Jing ordered.

Xiao Lian walked out of the study knowingly and closed the door behind her.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Xu Jing's serious expression, Xu Maozong asked.

Xu Jing took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, is the Tang family still alive?"

"Why are you asking this?" Xu Maozong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and sighed, "Even the master and servants, 170 and six people, all died, Miss Tang San was not spared."

Like the Xu family, the Tang family is a first-class big family in Guishui City, but compared to the Xu family, there are many people who hold important positions in the city and like to marry other families.

Some time ago, Mrs. Tang and Xu Maozong mentioned that they wanted to marry the third lady to Xu Jing, but Xu Maozong didn't decide on his own, saying that he wanted to ask Xu Jing what he meant.

And Xu Jing had met Miss Tang San before, and had a fairly good impression of her, so he didn't object.

Xu Maozong originally thought about settling the matter completely in a few days, but he didn't expect what happened now.

He thought that Xu Jing came here for this matter, and quickly comforted him: "Jing'er, don't worry, uncle will help you find a young lady after a while, and I promise to be no worse than Miss Tang San."

Xu Jing was speechless. He really didn't mean it, so he shook his head and said, "Uncle, that's not what I meant."

He organized his words, and continued: "I want to ask, is the matter of the Tang Mansion really artificial?"

"Huh?" Xu Maozong's expression became serious, his brows were frowned, and he said nervously, "What do you know?"

"Sure enough!" Xu Jing's heart tightened. Originally, he was just skeptical, but now he was sure of the answer.

This world is really not as simple as Jianghu.

After all, the Tang family was a big family with nearly 200 people, among which there were not a few guards and martial arts masters, but they were wiped out overnight, and no news was heard.

Moreover, everyone looked sober and frightened before death, and the state of death was exactly the same. This is not something that people in the world can do.

Although Xu Jing doesn't practice martial arts, he has some understanding of the martial arts levels of people in the Jianghu. According to him, the strongest masters he knows are the same as the innate masters he has seen in novels in his previous life.

Although it is possible to kill people by flying flowers and picking leaves, it is still impossible to talk about going down the Tang Mansion.

Xu Jing was a little helpless, and said, "I'm not stupid, and I'm not like those ordinary people who don't understand anything, so how can I not see the problem."

Xu Maozong was silent for a long while before he said: "Jing'er, there are some things that you know, but it's better not to know. Uncle doesn't tell you, it's for your own good."

"Uncle!" Xu Jing looked at Xu Maozong seriously, and stopped talking, his eyes were full of stubbornness, as if he would not give up until he reached his goal.

Seeing him like this, Xu Maozong smiled wryly and said, "Why do you bother yourself?"

Xu Jing said firmly: "I don't want to wait until the same thing happens to me, but I don't know anything about it, and I don't even know the reason for my death in the end!"

After living in this world for six years, Xu Jing felt a sense of urgency for the first time. Although he knew that he had no power to change anything, he really didn't want to die miserably if something similar happened to him one day.

"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Maozong gave Xu Jing a hard look.

Xu Jing smiled and said: "Uncle, I am not a child anymore, please tell me."

Xu Maozong pondered for a moment, and then said: "Well, as the heir of the Xu family, you have to know some things sooner or later anyway. Since you insist, uncle will not keep it from you."

In fact, he felt sorry for Xu Jing in his heart. Originally, he wanted Xu Jing to spend a few more years of ignorance and carelessness, but now he couldn't help it.

Xu Maozong couldn't understand Xu Jing's stubbornness very well.

He stood up, walked to the bookcase, knocked a few times in the bottommost empty box, then pushed his hand, reached in, and took out two quaint books after a while.

Then Xu Maozong took out the book that had just been covered with miscellaneous books, handed it to Xu Jing and said, "Most of these are the records of cases similar to the Tang family that your uncle and I have handled over the years, although most of them have no clue and are gone. However, there are also a small number of people who have found out the truth."

Xu Jing took the book and didn't look through it in a hurry, but was going to take it back and read it slowly.

Xu Maozong didn't take it seriously either, and after the two chatted casually for a while, Xu Jing called out to Xiaolian loudly, ready to leave.

At this moment, he glanced at the desk inadvertently and said with a surprised look on his face: "Uncle, what is that?"

"This?" Xu Maozong picked up a blood-red stone placed by the table and said, "I don't know what it is. I found it on the body of the eldest son of the Tang family this morning. I think it may be some kind of clue. I brought it back and prepared to study it.”

Xu Jing had a strange feeling when he saw this blood-red stone. He didn't understand why it was like this, so he said, "Can you show it to me?"

"Yes." Xu Maozong pushed the stone in front of Xu Jing.

Xu Jing hesitated and grabbed the stone in his hand.

"boom!"

There was a sudden explosion in his mind, and then a strange and awkward syllable came.

Although he had never heard of this syllable language, Xu Jing miraculously understood the meaning: "Will you absorb the energy that satisfies the system's activation?"
