Chapter 734 Lei Ze Gui Mei Again
"I just said that the piece of wood gave me the feeling of a coffin, but I didn't say it must be one. Maybe it isn't. Even if it is, there may not be a corpse inside. Even if there is a corpse, it may not be a human corpse." Zhang Chunqiu said in a roundabout way.
"Didn't you say you'd wait? Are we still going to follow now?" Xia Liuchuan asked.
"Follow, of course you have to. This is related to the guardian's ownership. It doesn't matter whether you follow or not, but I must see the result with my own eyes." Zhang Chunqiu said.
"In that case, what are you waiting for? Let's go." Xia Liuchuan said.
The three of them set off again, but this time, they deliberately fell behind a little, even though they were a little further away from Zhou Wen.
But they had not walked for long when they felt something was wrong again. There seemed to be gusts of cold wind blowing over the fields around them, making them feel a little trembling.
"Old Zhang, I feel like something is wrong. Can you tell me another fortune?" Xia Liuchuan said.
Zhang Chunqiu did as he said and told another fortune, then his expression became strange.
Xia Liuchuan and Dugu Ge knew something was wrong when they saw his expression, so they quickly asked, "What's going on?"
"The hexagram is still Lei Ze Gui Mei." Zhang Chunqiu said with a wry smile.
Xia Liuchuan and Dugu Ge's expressions also changed. The first time Lei Ze Gui Mei came, they encountered the electric beast. The second time Lei Ze Gui Mei came, they encountered the nightmare. Now it happened again.
"What if this sister can't get married?" Xia Liuchuan said depressedly.
Xia Liuchuan's words suddenly sparked a flash of inspiration in Zhang Chunqiu's mind. He asked with some doubt, "Do you think the hexagram of Lei Ze Gui Mei will be reflected on that piece of wood?"
"What do you mean?" Xia Liuchuan and Dugu Ge didn't understand.
"If my previous guess was correct, and that piece of wood is really something like a coffin, do you think there is a woman inside it?" Zhang Chunqiu said imaginatively.
"What woman? If it really is a coffin, there should be a female corpse inside." Xia Liuchuan corrected.
"Don't worry about whether it's a woman or a female corpse. These past few days, no matter how I calculated, the result was Lei Ze Gui Mei. I think this matter must be related to that piece of wood." The more Zhang Chunqiu spoke, the more he felt that it was correct.
Xia Liuchuan wanted to say something, but suddenly he heard a roar. The field next to him cracked open, and a huge earth dragon crawled out from it.
Zhou Wen was walking in front. Although he felt that the atmosphere along the way was a bit weird, he didn't encounter any other strange things except that electric dimensional creature.
Zhou Wen had no intention of looking at other dimensional realms. He walked as long as he could and rested when he couldn't walk anymore. He kept heading towards the imperial capital, just wanting to get this broken piece of wood out as soon as possible.
Zhou Wen himself was fine, but Xia Liuchuan and the other two who followed him suffered a lot. They went through all kinds of hardships and tribulations along the way, just like Tang Monk's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. They almost lost their lives several times.
Finally, Xia Liuchuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he decided to take a detour back to the Xia family in the imperial capital.
Zhang Chunqiu decided to continue following, but Dugu Ge did not plan to follow anymore.
"Young Master, everyone is here. When do we start?" Everyone in the Dugu family came to Dugu Ge and saluted.
"The plan is temporarily cancelled." Dugu Ge said.
Everyone was stunned, and one of them asked in confusion, "Young Master, why do you want to cancel it? This is a matter of great importance to whether you can contract with the Guardian."
"It's hard to explain right away. I will explain this matter to the elders of the clan. You just need to do as I say." Dugu Ge said.
"Yes." Everyone just arrived here and didn't even sit down for a while, so they had to turn around and go back.
Xia Liuchuan rushed all the way back to the Xia family. It was not because he was really afraid of encountering danger if he followed, but because he had received news that the Xia family was planning to attack Zhou Wen before he entered the imperial capital. Xia Liuchuan had to rush back to persuade Xia Dongyue to give up this action.
The piece of wood that Zhou Wen was carrying was really weird. Xia Liuchuan was afraid that the Xia family would suffer this time.
Xia Liuchuan traveled light and chose the nearest route, returning to the imperial capital much earlier than Zhou Wen.
"Liuchuan, why are you back? Didn't I ask you to follow Zhou Wen?" Xia Dongyue couldn't help but frowned when he saw Xia Liuchuan.
"Uncle Yue, can this operation be canceled?" Xia Liuchuan rushed back because he might not be able to convince Xia Dongyue over the phone, so he wanted to explain things to him in person.
"Why cancel it?" Xia Dongyue asked Xia Liuchuan.
"Zhou Wen carried a strange piece of wood to the imperial capital. The origin of the wood is weird and very strange. I'm afraid something will happen if I touch it now." Xia Liuchuan said.
"A piece of wood?" Xia Dongyue was a little puzzled. Xia Liuchuan had always been fearless, so why did a piece of wood make him so cautious? This was completely different from the character of Xia Liuchuan that Xia Dongyue knew.
Xia Liuchuan told them everything that happened when the three of them followed Zhou Wen.
"Zhang Chunqiu speculated that the terrifying mythical creatures we encountered on the road were all related to that piece of wood. I also think it is very likely." Xia Liuchuan said.
"It sounds like it makes sense, but even so, it doesn't mean we can't touch Zhou Wen. We choose to take action near the imperial capital. The dimensional field here is under our control, so there is no need to worry about any forbidden creatures coming out to cause trouble." Xia Dongyue said thoughtfully.
"Uncle Yue, why take such a risk? The grudge between Zhou Wen and the Supervisory Bureau is known to the entire federation. He came to the imperial capital this time, most likely targeting the Supervisory Bureau. Why should we be used as a tool by the Supervisory Bureau?" Xia Liuchuan continued to persuade.
Xia Dongyue shook his head and said, "This is the old man's idea. You know his temper. No one can change what he has decided."
When Xia Liuchuan heard the three words "old man", his heart sank. He knew that this action had become a foregone conclusion and could not be changed.
"Liuchuan, you don't have to worry too much. Although that piece of wood may be a little strange, with the background of our Xia family, there is no need to worry about it. It's just Zhou Wen. It won't be difficult to capture him." Xia Dongyue patted Xia Liuchuan on the shoulder and said, "Since you are back, stay home and rest. I will let the people from the East Courtyard take care of this matter."
"I hope so." Xia Liuchuan always felt that this matter might not be so easy to succeed, but there was nothing he could do.
The old man of the Xia family is the supreme being of the Xia family. Even Xia Dongyue, who has become a member of the House of Lords, dares not disobey his words, and no one can convince him.
