The Jiang family?
Lin Xi frowned and recalled for a moment before he remembered which family the Jiang family was.
It was the family that had previously extended the lifespan of Mr. Jiang in the family, and the entire family was stealing other people's lifespans.
However, after Lin Xi broke their method of changing their lifespans, Mr. Jiang passed away. The Jiang family also suffered a great loss. The family business plummeted and seemed to be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Qian Duojin continued mysteriously, "But their family doesn't seem to be doing well now. I heard they offended some big boss, and he directly took down the Jiang family. I don't know who they offended to be so capable."
Qian Duojin, who is addicted to novels, doesn't know much about what's going on in the circle, he only knows a general idea.
But when I think about it, I still find it scary. After all, the Jiang family is an old family that has been glorious for decades, but they were defeated so easily.
Tsk, that big guy is really a big devil.
Lin Xi glanced at him silently without telling him that the big boss he was talking about might be her.
Lin Xi asked him, "Are you sure that Master Jikong is the Jiang family's imperial master?"
Qian Duojin thought about it, worried that he had remembered it wrong, so he quickly called someone to check it, and then nodded with certainty.
"Yes, it's him!"
Therefore, he was the one who gave the Jiang family the idea to help Mr. Jiang prolong his life.
Lin Xi's eyes turned cold and he asked Qian Duojin.
"Can you find where he is now?"
This time Qian Duojin shook his head.
"I don't know. I heard he's very mysterious. He hasn't appeared since he took over the Jiang family."
Lin Xi nodded, not finding it strange.
In their previous lives, there were many people in the Xuanmen who left their master sect and went down the mountain without permission. Most of those people were tempted by money, fame, or other things, and then relied on their abilities to help the tyrants and do evil in the world of ordinary people, enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by people and being superior.
But there are also disadvantages in this situation, that is, you will be despised by other upright people in the Xuanmen, and may even become the target of everyone in the Xuanmen.
Therefore, most of the time, such people will hide their tracks to avoid being enforced by those who are stronger than themselves.
This Master Jikong is probably the same.
Although the world's mystical arts are declining, it does not necessarily mean that there are no powerful people of the same level, so he is also extremely cautious.
It seems that if I want to find him, I can only use the sleeping aid.
Not long after, Xu Fei also arrived at the Feng Shui shop and brought Lin Xi some news.
"I've already assigned someone to keep an eye on Xiao Lu. Manager Xia has driven out of the city, so he might be discovered."
Manager Xia was the person Xiao Lu mentioned who was in contact with the upper level, and those sleep aids were also sent to Xiao Lu by Manager Xia.
As for where Manager Xia got the sleep aid, Xiao Lu had no idea.
His level is too low and he is not qualified to touch these things at all.
Xu Fei sat casually on the chair, looking at Lin Xi's Feng Shui shop.
He had come to see it once before after Lin Xi opened the Feng Shui shop, but he didn't stay long.
After sitting in the store for a few hours, I suddenly felt the wonderful feng shui of this store.
Although he was hit by his grandfather every day, he could still feel the basic feng shui and spiritual energy.
This Feng Shui shop is now filled with strong spiritual energy. He can feel his whole body stretching out with every breath, as if he is wandering in a forest.
When practicing in a place with such abundant spiritual energy, even if you do nothing, the progress of practicing will definitely be fast.
Being able to transform a small and shabby Feng Shui shop into a holy place for cultivation with abundant spiritual energy, Xu Fei suddenly had a deeper understanding of Lin Xi's strength.
Thinking of his long-standing lack of progress in cultivation, Xu Fei's eyes rolled, and then he pretended to be distressed and said, "Oh, I came out in a hurry and didn't have time to settle down. I see your store is quite big, how about this, I'll just sleep on the floor here."
By then he will have to stay here for a few days to repair his chain, hehe!
Before Lin Xi could speak, Qian Duojin beside him started talking actively and enthusiastically.
He waved his hand and said directly: "You haven't found a place to live? Why don't you just live in my house? I have many empty rooms. You can live in whichever one you want!"
Xu Fei: “……?”
The corners of his mouth froze, and he forced a smile: "Ha, ha ha, no need, it's too much trouble for you."
Qian Duojin: "What's the problem? I'm not tired anyway. I don't even need to clean the house. I have a part-time cleaner."
Xu Fei: “……….”
Who cares whether you are tired or not? What he cares about is whether your spiritual energy is strong or not!
Xu Fei was almost going crazy.
Seeing that Qian Duojin was still planning to invite him home to sleep together, Xu Fei simply gave up and told the truth.
"I don't want to leave. I want to stay in the Feng Shui shop to repair my chain!"
Although saying it directly would damage his tall and mighty image, but if he didn't say that the man in front of him was stupid and rich, he would probably continue to invite him. Besides, he has indeed been stuck in a bottleneck period without any breakthrough. Not to mention that his grandfather has been talking about him all the time, he himself is also a little anxious.
After saying that, Xu Fei glanced at Lin Xi secretly with the corner of his eye.
But you must not see an expression of disgust on her face, otherwise even a strong man like him will easily break her TT.
Lin Xi did not refuse.
Although Xu Fei has no talent and is weak, he is ambitious and determined.
As a senior, she is very happy to see the younger generation have such ideas.
"Yes, I can give you some pointers if you need any."
Xu Fei: “!!!”
"Of course I do. Hey, Sister Lin Xi, it's only right to reciprocate. How about I recommend you a few more restaurants with good food?"
Lin Xi was silent for two seconds, then nodded decisively.
"Chengdeng."
Qian Duojin: “…”
Seeing Xu Fei being so servile, he suddenly felt even more fortunate that he was the chief disciple of Taixuan Sect!
An hour later, Xu Fei received a reply from the informant, saying that Manager Xia finally went to a very secluded temple, stayed there for about ten minutes and then came out. When he came out, he was holding a cardboard box in his hand, which showed something like a ceremonial item.
Moreover, the informant also said that the temple was quite strange. If he had not seen Manager Xia walk directly into it, he would probably have overlooked the existence of a temple there.
Its presence is so low that you wouldn't notice it even if you glance at it with your eyes.
But after Manager Xia entered, he seemed to suddenly notice the presence of a spectacle there.
Lin Xi and Xu Fei listened to the informant's reply and immediately came to a conclusion in their minds.
I'm afraid that the temple was sleight of hand, so people can't notice it.
Considering that Manager Xia was holding a box when he came out, the box probably contained a sleeping aid device that was enchanted by a magic array.
Lin Xi immediately said: "Let's go watch it from that place."
If nothing unexpected happens, Master Jikong should be inside.
…
More than an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a mountain forest.
The informant's car was parked nearby and only came out after seeing Lin Xi and the others arrive.
The informant was found by Xu Fei. He explained on the way that the informant was a member of the special department in Jiangyu.
Although most of the special departments understand some metaphysical magic, there are also some who are not good at it.
However, those who can enter special departments naturally have their own advantages.
For example, the one in front of us is particularly proficient in tracking and investigation.
Xu Fei briefly greeted the other party and then got down to business.
"The temple is right there."
The man pointed in a direction, and Xu Fei stared at it for a few seconds before finally seeing a temple.
Qian Duojin's eyes were almost sore from staring, but he couldn't see any temples or houses.
Isn't it just a forest?
Seeing this, Lin Xi waved his hand in front of his eyes. Qian Duojin looked at the place he had just seen and suddenly saw a temple appear in front of him.
However, this view was somewhat different from the one he saw on TV.
The temples in TV dramas usually have green tiles and red walls, with symmetrical shapes and structures, and the overall style is relatively simple and elegant.
But the temple before him always gave him an indescribable strange feeling.
Qian Duojin frowned and looked carefully for a while before finally discovering it.
"What's that thing on the roof of the temple? Why does it look so scary?"
Lin Xi had seen the strange beast early in the morning and said calmly, "That's the roof beast."
The so-called roof beasts are mythical beasts placed on the roof.
Placing roof beasts on the eaves is usually only found in royal palaces and temples, and is believed to bring good luck and ward off evil.
Ordinary people usually do not place roof beasts on their roofs, because they may not have enough power to suppress them, which may bring disaster.
The placement of the roof beasts is also very particular.
Normally, the number of ridge beasts placed on the eaves cannot exceed ten, and there is a strict hierarchy in the order in which they are arranged.
For example, the highest level, that is, the one in the front row, is the immortal riding a phoenix, and the ones behind him are various mythical beasts, such as dragons, phoenixes, lions, etc.
But from what we see, the roof beasts on the eaves are not any mythical beasts in traditional customs. At first glance, they look like statues with a human head but an animal body.
The heads of the people were clearly visible, but they were held high, as if they were cheering or expressing emotion.
As for what kind of animal that part of the body was, Qian Duojin couldn't see clearly because the distance was too far.
But its body parts are particularly twisted, and it has many claws or tails, as many as chrysanthemum petals, but they are bending and twisting without any rules or patterns, so it looks particularly scary and weird.
However, because of his poor eyesight, Lin Xi could see the statue clearly.
That was not a divine beast with a human head and an animal body, but a person stepping on countless corpses and dying people!
Those things that looked like tails or claws that Qian Duojin saw were actually the arms of the people under his feet.
They stretched their arms in all directions, struggling and calling for help.
After seeing all this, Lin Xi's eyes were frighteningly cold.
Master Jikong has great ambitions as he climbed to a high position by stepping on the corpses of others!
She came to her senses and quickly said to Qian Duojin and the informant from the special department, "You two go back now."
Qian Duojin: “Ah?”
Aren’t you going to look for that Master Jikong?
Lin Xi didn't explain too much, just said: "It will be of no use to you staying here any longer."
When Qian Duojin heard this, he finally realized something and got into the car without saying a word.
Seeing that guy was still standing there stupidly, he quickly called out, "Brother, hurry up!"
Since his leader has said so, something is bound to happen here soon!
Although Xu Fei still didn't know what had happened, out of trust in Lin Xi, he let the colleague from the special department leave first.
The colleague left after hearing this.
After Qian Duojin and the others left, Lin Xi glanced at Xu Fei and asked him, "Are you ready?"
Xu Fei: You actually asked that? I mean, this is definitely a high-end game!
