After the retired judge enters the escape game

Seeing this familiar expression, Duan Ruicheng took the peach wood sword back with some hesitation, and said, "Little uncle? It's really you."

In fact, it is not to blame for his overreaction. Duan Ruicheng is one of the most talented young people of this generation, and he was naturally cultivated as a core disciple.

Core disciples have a benefit, that is, they can be personally taught by Uncle Duan. Although it is only once a month, it is also something that all young disciples yearn for.

Uncle Duan is simply a legend in the Duan family, and he rarely shows up. I heard from the elders in the family that he spends most of his time in hard training, and his strength is unpredictable.

Of course, Duan Li is actually only a few years older than Duan Ruicheng, and Duan Ruicheng's father is Duan Li's older brother, so Duan Ruicheng can be regarded as a person who has received special attention from Duan Rui.

This kind of special attention is especially inhumane when Duan Li drills him.

For example, Duan Ruicheng, who had just started at the beginning, was thrown into a century-old ghost house, and only a pen and a stack of talisman paper were given.

After experiencing these tortures, Duan Ruicheng has long regarded Duan Li as the person the Duan family should not provoke.

For so many years, he has never seen any expression of human brilliance on Duan Li's face, and he is always expressionless and aloof.

That's why when he saw Duan Li actually smiled just now, and was still warmly laying his hands on the opposite person, he immediately felt that this must not be his little uncle of the Duan family, but a monster who came from nowhere .

"Speak the key."

When Duan Li saw Duan Ruicheng's look of wandering in the sky, he knew that this junior who was not reliable in other aspects except his ability to catch ghosts did not know where his thoughts had gone.

It is precisely because of this that Duan Li is particularly strict with Duan Ruicheng, and his unconstrained way of thinking will only have a negative impact on his career as a celestial master.

Of course, Duan Li didn't realize at all that he seemed to have double standards when it comes to unconstrained style.

Unconstrained style is interesting in Qi Wuguo, but unreliable in Duan Ruicheng.

Duan Ruicheng trembled when he saw Duan Li's eyes, and quickly said: "Actually, I'm here to report. I just came back from the association, and the Zhou family is going to make trouble."

"The Zhou family?"

Duan Ruicheng curled his lips, and did not hide the disgust in his expression: "Anyway, he deliberately made trouble with us, and this time the trouble was found on you, little uncle. Next time in the assessment, I have to let those wastes from the Zhou family know about my Duan family. It's amazing..."

When Duan Li heard that Duan Ruicheng started to focus again, he didn't make a sound, just looked at him so flatly.

"..." Duan Rui stood upright, "Ah, it's like this, the Zhou family said that the little uncle took money and didn't do anything, and even killed their Zhou family's celestial master."

"understood."

Duan Li nodded and said, he didn't have any mood swings because he heard that the Zhou family was looking for trouble.

Duan Ruicheng also figured out what Duan Li meant, and he was a good hand. He just saw the intention of chasing away customers from his little uncle's emotionless eyes, and left on his own very wisely.

Qi Wuguo watched Duan Ruicheng's figure disappear, and then asked: "The Zhou family, are you talking about Zhou Li?"

Duan Li said: "Zhou Li is not considered a Zhou family member, at least not the Zhou family recognized by the Zhou family."

"How do you say?" Qi Wuguo said, "You look like you are not interested in anything. Didn't you know Zhou's family so well?"

Duan Li took a deep look at him: "In order to investigate the matter of the soul-locking formation on your body, I got to know Zhou Li by the way."

Qi Wuguo was taken aback for a moment, a strange feeling emerged in his heart.

What Duan Li meant was that he didn't know the Zhou family because the Zhou family was always against the Duan family, so he knew about Zhou Li's affairs.Instead, it was because he went to investigate Zhou Li that he knew the origin of Zhou Li and the Zhou family.

"how?"

Qi Wuguo came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, let's continue."

Zhou Li and the Zhou family are related by blood, but his grandfather's lineage has no qualifications to become a celestial master, and has long been disapproved by the Zhou family.

Zhou Li had some aptitude, but he still couldn't catch the attention of the Zhou family. Zhou Li learned everything about profound arts by himself, so he couldn't be regarded as an orthodox Zhou family child at all.

He is also quite self-aware, and he never said that he is the Zhou family when he walks outside, so the Zhou family naturally wouldn't care about such an insignificant person.

"So, the Zhou family is making use of it now?"

Duan Li thought for a moment, and said, "It's not like, the goat horn in the Qi family's ancestor's grave was not that simple."

Qi Wuguo was almost ignorant of these things in the profession of celestial masters, so he asked directly: "What do you mean?"

"That technique cannot be accomplished at Zhou Li's level."

Qi Wuguo remembered what Duan Li said at that time, that the horn placed on the Qi family's ancestral grave was not only based on Qi Hanyi's luck to promote the feng shui of the Qi family's ancestral grave.

In contrast, the feng shui of the Qi family's ancestral tomb was also used to preserve Qi Hanyi's soul.

Qi Wuguo rubbed his chin and said, "I always feel that Qi Hanyi sounds like a sacrificial offering."

Duan Li nodded slightly: "My thoughts coincide with yours, and now the Zhou family has jumped out, which further confirms this matter."

The two chatted for a few words before the door was knocked again.

"Come in."

It was Duan Ruicheng who pushed the door open.

He said: "Grandpa is home, and people from the Zhou family are also here, saying to let the little uncle go."

Duan Li got up and said to Qi Wuguo: "I'll go over there, if you need anything, just ask Rui Chengcheng directly."

After all, Duan Li went out to leave.

Duan Ruicheng was stunned. What was the situation? Why was he left as a servant for no reason? He also wanted to watch how Uncle Duan used his arrogance to silence the Zhou family.

Qi Wuguo got up and said, "Let's go."

Duan Ruicheng blinked, a little at a loss: "Where are you going?"

Qi Wuguo smiled and said: "Duan Li said that if there is anything he needs, I just ask you. What I need now is to see the Zhou family."

Duan Ruicheng's eyes lit up, and he said, "Hey, brother, you are so interesting."

Qi Wuguo glanced at him and said, "To be honest, Duan Li and I are in the same generation, so it might be inappropriate for you to call me brother."

"Then, what do you call it?" Duan Ruicheng also felt that it seemed reasonable when he heard it.

"Qi Wuguo, you can call me by my name."

The two went out of Duan Li's residence along the way. Duan Ruicheng grew up here, and since he was a child, he was a brat who went to the house and drilled holes in the ground.

Duan Ruicheng was very familiar with this section of the mansion, but just to avoid running into Duan Li, he deliberately took Qi Wuguo around to take a quiet and unpopulated path.

During this period, Qi Ruicheng did his best to educate Qi Wuguo about the disputes between the Duan family and the Zhou family.

The entanglement between the Duan family and the Zhou family can be traced back to hundreds of years ago. Back then, the Taoist sect was not like it is now. They were almost hidden from the world and had less contact with ordinary people.

At that time, even the rich and powerful families would support several celestial masters for safety, and the emperor's family was no exception. At the beginning, the post of national teacher was set up by the celestial masters.

Among the people, there are also many believers in the celestial masters. In some remote villages, the words of the celestial masters are even more effective than the local parents and officials.

From then on, the Duan family and the Zhou family were the top families in the Taoist sect, and the most powerful celestial masters came from the two families.Naturally, the position of the national teacher has always been shared by Duan and Zhou.

Until one day, the national teacher surnamed Duan suddenly resigned, and the whole family chose to hide from the world.Before leaving, the national teacher surnamed Duan had warned the national teacher surnamed Zhou, but the Zhou family was greedy for power and chose to stay in the court.

Not long after, the emperor issued a decree to abolish the position of the national teacher, and announced that the Taoist celestial masters were bewitching the public and causing chaos in the court, and these celestial masters were strictly prohibited from walking among the people.

The Zhou family was naturally the monkey who was used as an example to scare the monkeys. There were hundreds of Zhou family members, and only a dozen people escaped in the end.

When Duan Ruicheng said this, he shrugged his shoulders: "The Zhou family probably has brain problems in their genes, and they actually blamed this on our Duan family. They think that the Duan family's seclusion caused the emperor's anger, and the Zhou family is just a scapegoat."

Qi Wuguo smiled and said: "It's just human nature, subconsciously seek psychological comfort, the number of times, I feel it is the truth."

Duan Ruicheng patted Qi Wuguo on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, if you hadn't discussed friendship with my uncle, I really wanted to be sworn brothers with you on the spot. It's rare to meet someone with such compatible values."

"However, the Zhou family can be regarded as capable. Hundreds of years ago, the family was almost wiped out, but now it is still developed to the point where it can stand against the Duan family."

Duan Ruicheng curled his lips and said contemptuously: "Although it's not kind to speak ill of people behind their backs, the Zhou family is not following the completely righteous path. When you meet the Zhou family, be careful."

Having said that, the two just arrived at their destination.

This is an excellent eavesdropping corner, hidden behind the rockery, you only need to open the front window quietly, you can have an overview of the whole situation and it is not easy to be found.

Duan Ruicheng made a silent gesture beside his lips, signaling Qi Wuguo to keep quiet, so as not to be discovered by the people inside.

Then, he gently opened the window in front of him a crack.

Duan Ruicheng was looking at the past with his head probing, and he was facing a pair of perfectly shaped eyes without any waves inside.

God, God is going to kill me!

Why did the little uncle sit facing this position today, Duan Rui let out a scream in his heart, his eyes widened and he felt that the next few days would not be easy.

He didn't even dare to comfort himself that maybe Duan Li just looked in this direction and didn't find himself.

At this critical moment, Duan Ruicheng saw Qi Wuguo standing aside.He didn't know why, so he was driven by intuition, and pulled Qi Wuguo to stand in front of him.
