Dozens of dark green vines suddenly sprouted from the land in front of the apricot tree and blocked the flames that were rushing over.

A vine stretched towards Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi raised his hand and cut the vine with a sword. Another vine attacked and was crushed by the sword light.

She moved extremely fast, dodging the vines' dense and rapid attacks.

Soon, Jiang Zhi was like the wind blowing in front of the trunk of the apricot tree.

The long sword in his hand was as powerful as a bamboo, splitting the apricot tree in half with one stroke.

The sound of dense squirming and rolling came with the wind.

The apricot tree was like a hollow shell, splitting from the middle to both sides, and then falling over, and the things inside appeared in front of Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi's eyelids twitched slightly, and what appeared before his eyes were human bones and dark green vines wrapped around the bones. The white and green were entangled together, twisting, wriggling and spreading constantly.

She felt like she was going to have trypophobia.

These vines look similar to soft-skinned snakes.

And those white bones were pasted with red talismans with rows of restraint nails on them, and there were strange runes written on those red talisman papers.

The vines attacked her at the speed of breaking the wind. Jiang Zhi hurriedly dodged. The vines hit the stone and quickly passed through it, leaving a hollow hole in the stone.

Jiang Zhi rolled and jumped to avoid it.

On the other side, Xichen Jingqing was discussing with Master Xu in detail the cooperation on the wine business of Xinghua Niang. His name was indeed in the wine business, so there was no flaw when Xichen Jingqing talked to Master Xu, and it was particularly genuine.

Mr. Xu did not have any doubts about him.

Mr. Xu looked extremely kind, with a warm smile on his face.

Xichen Jingqing knew from the conversation just now that the person in front of him was over a hundred years old. The reason why he could extend his life was naturally because of the longevity elixir. The longevity elixir required a huge amount of spirit stones. Where did these spirit stones come from? Naturally, it was because of the apricot blossom wine.

In the living room, Xichen Jingqing was discussing business with Mr. Xu.

The monk outside was walking slowly in the Xu Mansion, Liang Sheng followed beside him, and the servants of the Xu Mansion beside him were diligently introducing the flowers, plants and trees in the mansion to them.

The monk looked at a ancestral hall in the distance and squinted his eyes slightly. Just as he was about to walk over, the servants of the Xu Mansion stopped him and said, "Sir, you can't go into that place."

"Why?" the monk asked curiously.

The servant of the Xu family twitched his lips slightly. It was already impolite for outsiders to visit someone else's ancestral hall, and this monk actually asked why, showing no sense of etiquette at all.

"Even I am not allowed to go in. Only those allowed by the master can enter the ancestral hall." The servant of the Xu family explained.

"Well, I'm sorry for being so rude just now." The monk said with a hint of apology.

"It's okay, just be careful next time." The servant of the Xu family said slowly.

"Brother, something terrible has happened!" A figure rushed into the Xu Mansion and rushed directly to the reception room.

Mr. Xu looked at his brother who walked in anxiously and hastily, so he stood up, said sorry to Xichen Jingqing, and then politely asked Xichen Jingqing to leave.

Xichen Jingqing also left politely.

"What happened?" The kind smile on Mr. Xu's face disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"The apricot tree in the back mountain was chopped down, and the bones and talisman paper inside were gone." Master Xu had a worried look on his face.

"The back mountain is our territory. Wasn't it sealed off long ago? Which villager would dare to disobey our Xu family and go up the mountain!" Mr. Xu slammed his palm heavily on the table, making a loud noise, and the teacup on the table rolled down.

Master Xu knelt on the ground in fear, his head lowered. “I looked at the apricot tree and the vines. It should not have been done by villagers, but by cultivators. Their cultivation should not be low.”

Mr. Xu frowned fiercely.

"Go and ask Pharaoh to come over." Master Xu let out a breath of foul air, "Let's see if there is any way to make up for it."

Mr. Xu hurriedly ran out, crawling all the way.

On the other side, Jiang Zhi packed the bones and talisman paper and placed them in his own static space.

She walked slowly back to the inn.

"Hey? You're back too?" Jiang Zhi happened to meet the monk and his friends on the road.

"Yeah." The monk nodded.

"Yeah, that old guy pretends to be a good guy." Xichen Jingqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who knows what disgusting things he did in the past."

"Monk, have you found out anything?" Jiang Zhi glanced at Xichen Jingqing and then at the monk.

"Well, let's talk about it when we get back." The monk said slowly.

"Junior sister, why are you ignoring me?" Xichen Jingqing hugged Jiang Zhi's neck, as if to strangle her. "Senior brother, you performed very well this time. If you don't believe me, ask the monk."

The monk also nodded in agreement: "This time, thanks to Donor Xichen, I have the opportunity to take a look at the mansion."

Jiang Zhi nodded quickly: "I know, I know."

"I don't know why the monk didn't let me kill that old thing directly." Xichen Jingqing sighed, "That guy must be the enemy of the female ghost girl."

"Senior brother, you are quite passionate." Jiang Zhi said silently.

"I can't stand this kind of heartless man!" Xichen Jingqing frowned, "He was so cruel as to put nails into the bones of a woman. He is simply a beast!"

"It's indeed a beast!" Jiang Zhi agreed very much.

The four of them returned to the inn together.

This time it was still in Jiang Zhi's room, but this time there were four people.

"Go ahead, monk." Xichen Jingqing looked at the monk.

Monks are naturally the most familiar with things about ghosts.

The monk took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, then slowly spoke: "I have observed the fortune of Xinghua Village. It is now bright and prosperous, but dark under the surface. This situation is just a blessing in disguise. Although Xinghua Village is prosperous now, it will definitely suffer the consequences in a hundred years."

"The structure of the Xu family's house is very strange. Generally speaking, houses face the sun, but this house faces the shade. The location of its ancestral hall is wrong, which attracts negative energy and gathers negative luck." The monk looked at the box again, "Combined with what happened to Miss Shi, I probably have a general idea of ​​what happened."

"Is the Xu family's luck borrowed from the Shi family?" Xichen Jingqing frowned slightly.

"That's right. Not only did it change the Shi family's luck, it also prevented them from reincarnating. Even after death, their luck was still borrowed." The monk nodded, "So it was bad luck. The place where Miss Shi was imprisoned was one of the bad luck points."

"Oh, right." Jiang Zhi remembered the strange bones he found in the back mountain.

She took out the bones and told them what had happened to her in the back mountain.
