The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Jiao Shiniang sent people out to find out if there were any deep pools or streams nearby.

She, Li Muchen, and the old man named Liao were the only ones left in the cemetery.

The old man named Liao was named Liao Tianxing, and he was already familiar with Li Muchen at this time.

He is a descendant of Huangshan's medical lineage and has a close relationship with the Jiao family, especially the old man Jiao Yebai, who is a close friend.

Huangshan Medical Meridian has some connections with the Hu family in Qiantang.

The ancestor of the Hu family, Hu Lengshan, had his ancestral home in ancient Huizhou, and his medical skills were inherited from the Huangshan medical lineage.

To sum it up, the two families are from the same family.

Li Muchen had a good relationship with the Hu family, and Hu Lengshan was considered his senior brother in Kunlun, so he naturally had a good impression of the disciples of Huangshan Medical Lineage.

Liao Tianxing recognized that Li Muchen was the successor of the medical saint, so he respected Li Muchen very much.

The two chatted very harmoniously.

When it comes to some medical topics, Li Muchen will inadvertently give some advice.

According to Liao Tianxing, regarding Jiao Yebai's condition, he initially suspected that he had lost his soul. So I tried some folk methods to summon spirits, but to no avail.

Li Muchen knew that the folk method he was talking about was definitely not as simple as sprinkling a few grains of rice in the middle of the night. Huangshan's medical lineage had its own special inheritance, otherwise Hu Lengshan would not have learned Zhu Youshu in the first place.

In addition to medical skills, Liao Tianxing had obviously also practiced martial arts and magic. However, he entered the Tao through medicine, which was different from the path Li Muchen took.

Jiao Yebai lost his soul. After such a long time, it was difficult to recover it using ordinary methods. But at the first time, Liao Tianxing used spiritualism, which should be effective, at least it would induce a reaction.

"No feeling at all?" Li Muchen asked curiously.

"No." Liao Tianxing shook his head.

"It shouldn't be." Li Muchen muttered, "Unless his soul is imprisoned by the formation."

Li Muchen and Liao Tianxing looked at the tombstones in the cemetery at the same time.

"A magic circle?!"

Li Muchen walked into the cemetery and walked around among the tombstones.

He squatted down, gently tapped the green bricks on the ground, and suddenly asked: "Shi Niang, what is the background of your Jiao family ancestors? Did you ever become a high official?"

Jiao Shiniang said puzzledly: "They are just ordinary gentry, nothing special. According to the genealogy records, our ancestors have had several officials, but they were not big officials. It was just farming, studying and passing down the family, and the firepower continued to make this official." Keep the family business going. Look at this tombstone, it doesn't have any merits engraved on it. If our ancestors had high officials, they wouldn't be writing about them."

Li Muchen thought about it, and wondered: "But how come there is such a big underground palace down there? Most people's tombs in the underworld can only dig a few holes, just enough to put the coffins."

"Underground palace?" Jiao Shiniang was surprised, "There is an underground palace down here? Why didn't I know?"

Liao Tianxing also said: "Yes, I was also here when the old man of the Jiao family was buried. It was just an ordinary tomb, but I didn't see the underground palace!"

Li Muchen felt even more strange when he heard this. He thought for a moment and then started walking among the tombstones.

After walking around for two times, he said: "I dare to conclude that the formation formed by the distribution of these tombstones is not only used to hide wind and water and provide shade for descendants, it also hides the mechanism that opens the underground palace, but this mechanism seems to have been It’s destroyed.”

Jiao Shiniang and Liao Tianxing looked at each other, confused and shocked.

"How could this be?"

"I'm afraid this will only become clear when the old man wakes up." Li Muchen said.

"Ah, Mr. Li, are you saying that my dad can be saved?" Jiao Shiniang looked at Li Muchen excitedly and expectantly.

"It's hard to say now." Li Muchen said, "Your father's soul is probably trapped here underground. The place where the ancestors are buried is not bad. However, how this happened is worthy of scrutiny. Let me ask you, who was around your father when he became ill? Who was the first person to find out?"

"It's my third uncle." Jiao Shiniang frowned slightly as she didn't know what she thought of. "That day my uncle called and said that my father suddenly fainted, maybe he had a stroke. When I saw my father, he was already there In the hospital, except that the complexion and appearance were not that bad back then, everything else is the same as what you see today. Mr. Li, you mean, my uncle..."

Li Muchen said: "I just said that."

"Master Li, since you said that my father's soul is underground, is there any way to rescue him?"

"Have."

When Jiao Shiniang heard that there was a way, she became excited and looked at Li Muchen expectantly.

"There should be a passage to the underground here, but the mechanism has been destroyed and the passage has been closed. The only way now is to dig up the entire cemetery."

"This……"

When Jiao Shiniang heard this, her eyes dimmed.

Isn't this back to the old path of negotiating with Huang Dingbang?

However, Bingxue was so smart that she suddenly thought of something.

"Could it be that Huang Dingbang wants this land just to dig up my family's underground palace?"

Li Muchen nodded and said, "It's very possible."

"But how did Huang Dingbang know that there was an underground palace here? And what can be gained by digging up the underground palace? Even I don't know what is in the underground palace."

"If you don't know, someone else knows. Your father must be the one. Apart from him, think about it, does anyone else in your family know?"

"Third uncle..." Jiao Shiniang was suddenly shocked, "could it be him..."

Li Muchen stopped talking.

This is their Jiao family's business and he has no control over it.

His mission was to help Jiao Yebai cure his illness.

But the current situation seems a bit complicated and has gone beyond the scope of treatment.

He does not want to be involved in overly complicated events, entangled in causes and conditions, which is not a good thing for practitioners.

The wind on the mountain was a bit cold, and when it blew over, Jiao Shiniang unconsciously crossed her arms.

Li Muchen once again felt a familiar scent between her brows and eyes.

"Have we met somewhere? I think you look familiar, but I just can't remember." He asked.

Jiao Shiniang suddenly smiled brightly and said, "Of course we are familiar. When you were a child, you called me sister, and I called you Xiao Chenchen."

Li Muchen was stunned and said "Huh?" in confusion.

Seeing him like that, Jiao Shiniang couldn't help but smile and said, "Is your grandfather's name Li Youquan?"

Li Muchen was surprised: "Do you know my grandfather?"

Jiao Shiniang said: "Not only do we know each other, we are also very familiar with each other. Almost twenty years ago, when our Jiao family was in decline, my parents started a business in other places, and I was in my hometown of Xuancheng. In today's terms, Called left-behind children.”

"Of course, I was not young at that time. When I was in my teens, I missed my parents and wanted to visit them. However, I was deceived by traffickers on the road and sold to Nanjiang. I tried my best to escape. I was caught up again, and it was your grandfather who saved me. I lived in your house for a while. At that time, you were not yet three years old. Everyone called you Xiaochenchen, but you called me sister. You all Have you forgotten?"

When Jiao Shiniang talked about this, her face was filled with a sense of happiness.
