Chapter 56 Chapter 56 It’s better to beat the dog behind closed doors
Qi Jiayi sprinkled a handful of medicine on the still burning maple tree.
It can be seen that after this drug causes hallucinations, people of the same species all look ugly in the eyes of the Chinese medicine users, while people of different species all look extremely good-looking.
Not long after, the guards from the City Lord's Mansion arrived. They were all cultivators with great skills.
With a nimble figure, he flew or jumped into the yard, and the next moment he inhaled a hallucinogenic drug, unable to distinguish between friend and foe.
The courtyard fell into chaos.
Because there were so many people, Qi Jiayi and Qi Yuke took advantage of the chaos and left the City Lord's Mansion.
For many years afterwards, a rumor was still circulating in the Fengcheng City Lord's Mansion that on the day the bridal sedan entered the mansion, everyone in the mansion suddenly went crazy and killed each other, with more than half of them being injured.
The city lord was also injured in the melee, and all the doctors who went to the city lord's mansion died unexpectedly.
The doctor who managed to survive spread the news widely, saying that the Lord of Fengcheng had ruined his thing by playing with himself, and even killed the doctor to silence him.
However, after this incident, all those who found a Taoist partner to marry would hold a grand wedding and declare it to heaven and earth, for fear of retribution for having a simple marriage.
Qi Jiayi didn't know about all this. She was trying to open the soul-locking ring around her cousin's neck all the way.
"Sister, why did Third Uncle deliberately give a fake key to the Lord of Fengcheng?" Qi Jiayi didn't understand. "Isn't he afraid that the Lord of Fengcheng will find out and come after him?"
Qi Yuke shook her head, "I don't know."
She didn't know much about her third uncle. She only knew that he had little talent but was ambitious. However, he had always been suppressed by the Qi family and had never caused any trouble.
She was careless after all.
"Sister, with your level of cultivation, how come you are wearing a soul-locking ring?" Qi Jiayi really didn't understand. Logically, because of her special spiritual roots, she had been warned since she was a child that she should be on guard against both outsiders and family members.
Qi Yuke's face darkened, and the anger was suppressed in his eyes, "I was blind and didn't realize that I had an ungrateful wolf by my side."
"Sister, why does Third Uncle dare to treat you like this? Isn't he afraid that First Uncle will punish him?"
Her mother disappeared, and the third branch took over her mother's business. This was actually not hard to explain, after all, their grandfather was extremely partial.
But how could the third house dare to attack Qi Yuke?
Qi Yuke reached out and rubbed Qi Jiayi's head. "Father and aunt are missing. You are far away in Yueyao Sect, so I wanted to keep it a secret from you. I'm sorry."
Qi Jiayi's identity in the Qi family is special, and not coming back would actually be a way of protecting her.
But she didn't expect that when she got into trouble this time, it was Qi Jiayi who was far away in Yueyao Sect who showed up to save her. "By the way, why did you end up in Fengcheng?"
"I came back to investigate my mother's disappearance." Qi Jiayi said in front of Qi Yuke's shocked eyes: "The third branch took over my mother's shop, and even the shop in the town at the foot of Yueyaozong Mountain was not spared."
Hearing her say this, Qi Yuke nodded, this was something that the third house could do.
"I'm sorry, I was so busy investigating the leak of my father's disappearance that I kept it from you, and I didn't notice that you were not spared from their excessive behavior."
Her father and aunt were missing, and the Xuantian Sect kept it a secret, but somehow the news got out. By the time she realized what was happening, her grandfather and third uncle had already taken control of the Qi family.
Qi Jiayi interrupted her, "Sister, don't say those useless things. You said that my uncle and my mother disappeared together. When did it happen?"
The third branch took over her mother's shop. The fat shopkeeper said it was three years ago. It has been more than half a year since she returned to the sect, so it has been four years.
She still hasn't figured out the exact time her mother disappeared.
Qi Yuke did not hide it any more: "If you think about it carefully, Dad and Aunt lost contact not long after you joined Yueyao Sect."
Qi Jiayi was surprised, so early?
That means it has been more than six years.
"When they first disappeared, in order to prevent the news from spreading and causing trouble, we told the public that our father was in seclusion and our aunt was out doing business."
She had kept the secret well at first, but then word started to spread that her father was not in seclusion but missing, and her sister also disappeared with him.
She investigated and investigated, and finally found out that the news came from within the Qi family.
The truth was exposed by their own family members and the involvement of people with ulterior motives, so the plan of seclusion and traveling for trade was exposed.
She was so busy that she was exhausted, and in the end she was betrayed by the person she trusted most.
"Where did my uncle and mother disappear? Was there anything unusual before they disappeared?"
Qi Yuke shook his head. "I was neither in the sect nor in the Qi family at the time, so I don't know the details."
"But I found out that they went to the Xia family before they disappeared." Qi Yuke added: "Someone from the Xia family is missing too."
"Who?" Qi Jiayi was surprised to hear the word "Xia family". This matter was actually related to the Xia family.
"Fifth Master Xia."
Qi Jiayi had never heard of this person, "Who is the Fifth Master of the Xia Family?"
Qi Yuke shook her head. "I've never seen him either. I heard that he was a top-notch genius when he was young. The Xia family once prospered because of him. But then he suddenly went crazy and was locked up by the Xia family."
"I heard that after the Fifth Master of the Xia Family went crazy, even the younger generation of the Xia Family didn't know that he existed. I don't dare to confirm whether the Fifth Master of the Xia Family is missing. The Xia family member who knew about this died within two days. The Xia family even denied that my father and aunt had ever been to the Xia family."
Qi Jiayi pursed her lips and said, "Sister, after we get the key back to Qi's house, let's go to Xia's house."
Regardless of whether it was true or false, she had to verify it first. Besides, she also happened to be going to the Xia family to cancel the engagement, so she did it by the way.
--
Seeing her trying to poke with a key but failing to open it, the Black Iron Turtle said, "Pour mud into the key hole, take it out after it solidifies, and compare it with this key."
Qi Jiayi glanced at the hanging black iron turtle, and now his mind was filled with why the Xia family had to interfere in everything.
Without asking any more questions, I did as he said.
After taking out the key made of mud that had been solidified after the water was drained out, I could actually see the difference. "Sister, look."
Qi Yuke took a look and smiled, "Very good, when we get back to the Qi family, we will look for the key according to the shape of this mold."
"No need to go back to the Qi family to look for it. I think we can find a weapon refiner to forge a key." Qi Jiayi raised the fake key and said, "Use this one to melt and forge it."
The key to open the soul-locking ring is made of a special material.
Mud can be used to shape keys, but the inner structure of the soul-locking ring is different. She has tried it, but the mud key cannot withstand enough spiritual power to open the soul-locking ring and is easily broken inside.
She now had the mold and just happened to have the material for a key.
They did what they said. After arriving at a town, they put on the masks they bought in the town and found a junior weapon refiner.
At the reminder of the Black Iron Turtle, Qi Jiayi destroyed the real key before handing it over to the weapon refiner, asking him to forge a key based on the clay sculpture.
Qi Yuke didn't hold out much hope, but Qi Jiayi was full of expectations.
As a junior weapon refiner, he had not forged many weapons, so he had never seen the key to the soul-locking ring. The key was made a bit crudely.
Insert the key into the soul locking ring. In addition to the key, there is also a step-by-step guide to opening the soul locking ring in the box. You need to control your spiritual power, turning left and right as many times as you want, back and forth.
This is also the reason why the mud key cannot open it.
With a click, the soul-locking ring split into two halves behind the neck.
Qi Jiayi took off the soul-locking ring and said proudly, "Sister, it's open."
Qi Yuke clenched her palms, and the locked spiritual power flowed throughout her body. The moment her palms turned over, two lavender semicircular ring blades appeared in her hands, the ring blades emitting a bright luster. That was her life-threatening weapon, the Purple Moon Death Ring.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Yuke narrowed her eyes and said, "Xiao Ba, come back with me to kill someone."
The Purple Moon Death Ring sensed its master's anger, and the halo emanating from it became even brighter, carrying a certain desire.
"Sister, do you still want this? If not, I will destroy it." Qi Jiayi asked while holding the opened soul-locking ring. This thing is not a good thing.
Who in a normal family would use this? I don’t know how the third branch of the Qi family got it. He is a disciple of a noble family, but he behaves in such a vulgar manner.
Qi Yuke looked at the Soul Locking Ring with a cold look in his eyes for a moment, "No need, keep it, someone really needs it."
After the Soul-Locking Ring was put on her, all of Qi Yuke's storage rings, magic tools, etc. were taken away.
If the Purple Moon Death Ring was not her natal magic weapon and she was used to hiding it in her hand bones, it would have been taken away.
Setting off on their journey again, Qi Yuke was no longer suppressed by the Soul-Locking Ring. They no longer had to hide and worry about the pursuers from the City Lord's Mansion, and they rushed to the Qi family at almost full speed.
After returning to the Qi family, Qi Yuke did not rush in. Instead, he stood outside the door of the Qi family, formed seals with his hands, and set up a huge formation that covered the entire Qi family.
Seeing Qi Jiayi looking at him in confusion, Qi Yuke smiled at her and explained, "After all, we both have the surname Qi, so it's better to beat the dog behind closed doors."
Qi Jiayi nodded, the sword already in his hand.
The third wife doesn't care about exposing her family's dirty laundry, but not everyone is like them.
"Sister, let's go. I've wanted to beat them up for a long time." She was just thinking about whether she should block the back door, but the Qi family is so big and there are so many doors that it is not easy to block them.
This is good, because if someone gets the news and runs away, you won’t have to go through the trouble of catching him, and you don’t have to block the door intentionally.
"M-M-Ms?"
Seeing Qi Yuke appear at the Qi family, some people were so scared that they turned around and ran away.
Some were filled with joy, and some even complained, "Miss, you are finally back. My young master has been imprisoned in the water dungeon."
Another maid rushed out and knelt down, "My young lady is the same, please save my young lady, young lady."
Some begged Qi Yuke to save their master, while of course there were those who betrayed their master and fled everywhere, and there were also those who discovered that something was not right and quickly went to inform the authorities.
Qi Yuke frowned. She didn't expect the Third House to be so ruthless. "Let's go to the water dungeon first."
As we approached the dungeon, we heard the sound of betting.
"Open, wide."
"Small, small."
At the entrance to the dungeon, seven or eight people were not guarding the dungeon properly, but instead gathered together to place bets and gamble, and the noise could be heard from far away.
When Qi Jiayi was a child, she followed her mother to the Qi family water prison once. She remembered that there were two serious-looking clansmen guarding the door of the water prison. It was said that their cultivation was not low, above the Golden Core level.
But at this moment, the group of people gathered together to place bets were only practicing Qi and building their foundation.
Qi Jiayi frowned. The Qi family has always attached great importance to rules and was strict with their subordinates. But since entering the Qi family, no matter whether it was the clan members or the servants he saw along the way, they were not as rigorous and orderly as before.
Qi Yuke raised his hand and clenched it, and the table where the group of people were betting exploded instantly.
A few screams.
The group of people who had devoted themselves to it were shaken and flew everywhere, and some of them who were unlucky stopped by crashing into the stone wall of the water prison.
Some flew several meters away and fell into the lake, while others fell at their feet.
The person who fell at their feet covered his chest and screamed, his face was bloody and he struggled and wailed. When he saw the person in front of him, he opened his mouth in fear, and the sound of pain disappeared instantly, "Miss!"
