Chapter 107107 The hero’s health value decreases!
After years of cultivating immortality, Wei Shizhou is no longer familiar with the word "family".
Ever since he joined the Xuanyin Immortal Sect, he thought that he would never have any connection with his family in the mortal world again in this life. Only by staying far enough away from them would they be safe.
Chen Quan's words gave him a warning.
What he thought was good protection for them might not be correct.
But when he thought of Madam Wei and his younger brother, he still felt uncomfortable.
Do you want to go back?
Wei Shizhou actually had the answer in his heart.
Asking and answering questions like this is just an excuse for yourself.
Wei Shizhou moved his arm, and the whip wound on his shoulder that was deep enough to see the bone recovered as before, and he could also use his arm.
It seems that the elixir Ye Zhenqiu gave him was at least of the seventh grade or above.
Lei Fa's injuries were all healed. Chen Quan spent a lot of money to recruit him into the gang.
Wei Shizhou sneered, supported himself on his palms and stood up. After stretching his limbs, he turned his head and looked somewhere.
Since Chen Quan wants him to go home and visit, then he will go back. He wants to see what medicine is in Chen Quan's gourd!

A month later.
Wei Shizhou returned to his home after many years.
The town has changed a lot from what I remember.
He kept all the family letters he received over the years in a small box. At first, he would read them carefully. The content was mostly about his cultivation progress and whether he was being bullied. Most of the time, they would talk about family matters, and his younger brother would be mentioned every ten sentences.
Wei Shizhou didn't want to read these, so he just glanced at the letters from home and threw them back into the box if there was nothing new.
Although the town has changed a lot, there is no mention of moving in the letters home, so I guess the Wei family is still in the same place.
Wei Shizhou arrived at the gate of the Wei family with ease.
Suddenly, he saw white lanterns hanging high up and flying spirit banners. White paper money fluttered in the air like snowflakes, blurring Wei Shizhou's vision.
The huge words "Wei Jia" on the plaque clearly told him that he was not on the wrong path.
This is indeed the Wei family.
In an instant, the blood in my body stagnated, and my internal organs felt like they were being pressed down by a huge rock, making it difficult to breathe.
Wei Shizhou pushed open the heavy door.
The dull sound startled the people kneeling in the main hall.
The Second Young Master of Wei was mourning in front of the coffin when he suddenly heard the noise. His body trembled violently and the corners of his eyes instantly turned red. He turned his head and roared: "My father and mother are already dead, what else do you want?!"
After seeing who the person was, he looked at her fiercely, and felt wronged and afraid. He choked and his voice trembled.
"Brother..."
Is he really your brother?
My mother said that my brother has gone to practice Taoism and it will be difficult to see him again in the future.
He actually remembered all his childhood memories. The Wei couple thought he was too young to remember. He knew that Wei Shizhou didn't like him, even hated him, but he just wanted to be close to his brother.
After his brother went to cultivate immortality, he became depressed. He missed his brother but couldn't go to find him, so he asked his father to write a letter home and send it to him.
Maybe my brother will read the letter and write back to them?
But I always come back disappointed.
Later, my father stopped writing letters home. His longing for his brother grew day by day, but he couldn't write letters home. Without letters, would his brother feel that they had forgotten him?
Young Master Wei II suppressed the bitterness in his heart and dared not blink, fearing that what he saw was just an illusion.
Even though he hadn't seen his brother for many years, he could still recognize him at a glance.
Wei Shizhou didn't know how to call him.
The long separation and subconscious alienation left him at a loss.
"Father and she..."
There were two coffins placed in the main hall, and the spirit tablets were also placed upright. The servants of the Wei family stood on both sides with pale faces and lowered heads.
The words on the tablet are clear.
Wei Shizhou felt dizzy.
He had only been away from home for a few years, how could they...
My throat is dry and it is difficult to pronounce.
Young Master Wei wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up tremblingly, and staggered towards him regardless of his numb knees.
"Brother!"
Wei Shizhou hurriedly supported him and prevented him from kneeling down.
Tears burst like a dam.
Young Master Wei Er's tense nerves finally relaxed, he hugged him and burst into tears.
He poured out all the bitterness and grievances of the past few days.
It turned out that Wei's father and wife had died unexpectedly a month ago, and the Wei family's side branches had set their sights on the Wei family, eyeing the countless assets in the hands of the second son of the Wei family, like a hungry wolf eyeing fat meat, wishing they could share and eat him.
The second son of the Wei family was only eighteen or nineteen years old. His father had just handed over the business to him, and before he had time to get familiar with it, he received the tragic news of the death of his father and Madam Wei. He had to hold on to his spirits, take care of the funeral arrangements for the two elders, and compete with the relatives who were as cruel as jackals and tigers for the family property.
He has tried his best to preserve most of the Wei family's property.
Those side branches would not give up until they got their share of the benefits, so the second son of the Wei family had no choice but to give them one third and let them do what they wanted.
The side branches were worried that he was the second son of the Wei family. If he became too powerful, they would not gain any benefits, so they naturally compromised.
Only after taking care of the affairs of the side branches did the second son of the Wei family have the energy to arrange the funeral for the two elders.
On the third day of the seven-day wake, Wei Shizhou suddenly returned home.
The second son of the Wei family was so happy that he thought he was dreaming.
He is no longer the little kid who only followed his brother around. He has grown into a man who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Wei family. He has the courage to stand in front of Wei Shizhou and happily call him brother.
Wei Shizhou felt mixed emotions. He had experienced life and death over the years and had become more open-minded about many things.
After a deep sigh.
All the alienation and sadness disappeared.
"Brother, thank you for your hard work."
Young Master Wei was stunned, then he was overjoyed and stammered, "Brother, brother, you call me brother, you don't hate me anymore?!"
"I never hated you. It was my own problem back then. It had nothing to do with you."
Wei Shizhou looked around and sent the servants away.
"Brother, tell me, how did they die?"
The second son of the Wei family was vague about the cause of death of the two elders. He knew that there must be something wrong, so he dismissed the servants and left the two of them alone.
When asked this question, the Second Master of Wei indeed felt guilty and hesitated to answer.
Wei Shizhou said solemnly, "If they were murdered, I will definitely seek justice for them. You should know my temper."
"I..." Young Master Wei seemed extremely frightened. Only after he saw his father's encouraging gaze did he dare to speak out, "They didn't die in accidents. They were murdered... They were killed by monsters..."
A few months ago, Wei's father secretly got a piece of news that a nobleman wanted to do some big business, which would bring huge profits and countless businessmen were jealous of him.
In order to get this business, Wei's father ran around for several months, and finally reached an agreement with the nobleman a month ago and delivered it personally.
The journey to the capital was long, so Wei's father took this opportunity to temporarily hand over the Wei family to the second son of the Wei family, and took Madam Wei with him.
Mrs. Wei has worked hard for the Wei family for many years. Wei's father feels sorry for her being confined to the rear house, so he wants to take her to the capital to see its splendor.
The second son of the Wei family teased the two elders about their close relationship, and repeatedly assured them that he would take good care of the family business so that they could go and have fun without worry.
I never thought that this departure would mean we would be separated forever.
Only one person from the Wei family's caravan returned alive. That person was still hanging on to his last breath. After seeing the second son of the Wei family, he told him about the attack on the caravan and then died.
On the way back, the two elders were attacked by monsters. The only survivor was the one Wei's father managed to save by delaying the monsters at the cost of his life.
Upon hearing the bad news, Prince Wei Er almost fainted.
He knew that he had to stabilize the Wei family's property before the news of the two elders' death spread. He had no time to be sad and depressed. After quickly grabbing the most important property of the Wei family, he quietly took his men away, trying to find the bodies of the two elders and bring them back for burial.
Wei Shizhou felt as if he had fallen into an icy cellar: "Why would the monster attack the caravan?"
"I don't know. Everyone in the caravan is dead, and the carriage was completely destroyed by monsters. I can't find any clues."
He couldn't even find the bodies of the two elders, so he could only use a cenotaph as a substitute.
"Brother, it's my fault. I can't even find their bodies!"
After saying this, the Second Master of Wei was about to slap himself.
He was stopped.
Wei Shizhou comforted him, "You've been great. You've protected the Wei family's fortune. Father and she would be proud of you. Monsters are inherently ferocious. If you fall into their hands, there won't be a whole body. I will ask the monsters for their deaths. Do you know what the monsters that attacked the caravan look like?"
"I know!" Young Master Wei returned to his room, took out a scroll, and spread it out. "I asked experienced monks, and they said it was the Hundred-Faced Ape!"
The Hundred-Faced Ape looks like a human but sounds like a bird. It has hundreds of holes that can transform the faces of the people it sees. As long as it doesn't make any sound, it is almost impossible to tell who they are.
A hint of vague doubt flashed through his mind.
Wei Shizhou didn't have time to grab it, frowned, and didn't think too much about it.
"I'm going to find the Hundred-Faced Ape. I'll leave the Wei family to you. If those people dare to covet the Wei family's property again, just let them in and see if they can take it alive!"
Wei Shizhou set up a barrier around the Wei family's house, and drew prohibitions in the courtyard using black soil as sand and blue bricks as talismans.
Young Master Wei Er couldn't understand the runes and stared at the black soil in the corner, wondering, "Brother, what is this?"
"A spell that can protect against those with ill intentions. If they dare to steal the Wei family's things, they will have to pay the price."
Wei Shizhou brushed off the black dirt on his palm, gave him a few words of advice, and then stepped onto Fentian to find the Hundred-Faced Ape.
Only Young Master Wei Er knows the talismans at the four corners of the yard.
It is hidden in the corners and is not easy for servants to find when they are cleaning.
As long as the talisman is there, the Wei family is safe.
The pained expression on Young Master Wei Er's face suddenly changed. He turned his head and stared at the spirit tablets of the two elders. The corners of his mouth curled up, and a strange hoarse sound came from his throat.
*
Inside the Xuanyin Immortal Sect.
The peach trees are in full bloom, and the mountain is filled with abundant spiritual energy, allowing the peach blossoms to bloom all year round. The wind blows the flowers down, and from a distance it looks like a rippling sea of flowers.
Shi Hua stared at the flower petals all over the ground in a trance.
[What is the Immortal Master thinking? ]
The system stood on her shoulder and scratched its ear.
Shi Hua glanced at it and it looked more and more like a fox.
"Nothing. It's been so long, and I don't think I've said thank you to you."
The system was stunned, then realized that she was talking about her sleep. It had thought she would be angry with it, after all, it and Wei Shizhou had taken the initiative to enter the depths of her consciousness and spy on her past.
Thinking so, I asked.
Shi Hua's mouth corners curved slightly.
"It's just the past. It's time for me to let it go."
The past is no longer a shackle that holds her back.
The system licked its claws: [It's good that the Immortal Venerable can think more positively. There are too many shackles wrapped around the Immortal Venerable, which is also the reason why the Immortal Venerable has failed to overcome the tribulations so many times.]
Regarding the failure of surviving the tribulation, Shi Hua vaguely understood something during the time he was completing the plot of the vicious female supporting role.
Yes, she has too many shackles on her.
"After I escape death and ascend, can you untie me?"
[Theoretically, this is the case...]
The system's expression suddenly changed.
[Not good! The hero's health is decreasing, and there's no sign of it stopping!]
At the same time, the blood bond at the collarbone became hot.
