The head of the Mu family fell to the ground after hearing this, and it was Zhou Yangfan who helped him up, so that he did not get hurt.
"I saw it this morning, how come it's gone now?"
"Well, today the young lady insisted on going out to buy some fabric, and Mammy didn't stop her, and then the young lady disappeared..."
Zhou Yangfan didn't ask any further questions and came back to report to Xiushui in frustration.
Xiushui was not surprised at all.
"Yang Fan, didn't you and Yun Wen ever think about investigating the major families?"
At this moment, she thought of herself.
If my guess is correct, she was also born in the lunar calendar at a yin time, and this year she happened to be sixteen years old.
In other words, she is actually the Wen family's sacrifice this year.
Thinking back to what my grandma said before, she actually had an older aunt who died in an accident at the age of sixteen, so that older aunt doesn’t even have a ranking.
The name and everything that happened in the past became taboos in the Wen family. It was only after Grandma traveled through time and space to Wen Bibo that she would occasionally mention it.
My family members would occasionally sigh or two.
When investigating these major families earlier, Xiushui always felt something was strange.
If the person behind the scenes really just wanted to make them money, there would be no need to go to so much trouble.
Spending one or two hundred years just to control these people and make money for yourself? Expanding your power, no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit far-fetched.
Then, one day she accidentally learned from a conversation with her rescued helper, Miss Mu, that she had a very good sister who died at the age of sixteen.
She also sighed that her sister was born at a very special time, and mentioned that the Mu family had a little uncle who was also born at a special time.
It was from that unintentional sigh that she began to focus on investigating the babies born at these special times. Then, she unexpectedly discovered that over the past one or two hundred years, almost no children born at these special times lived past the age of seventeen.
I was just planning to tell Mo Yunwen the news, but I never expected that he would disappear!
Xiushui pondered for a moment, then asked Zhou Yangfan to lead the way to find Master Yuanjing.
When you encounter something mysterious, you can only seek help from professionals.
"Master Yuan Jing, do you know what role a half-grown boy who is sixteen years old in the Yang time and a sixteen-year-old girl in the Yin time and the Lunar time can play in the mystical arts?"
A hint of solemnity appeared on Yuan Jing's increasingly round face.
"Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin?"
"Yes, these are the two kinds of children. If too many of them are captured, what will they do?"
"It seems that the legend is true. Finding these three treasures will not only allow you to travel to another world in the Far East, but more importantly, it will also prolong your life.
But the prerequisite is that these two extremely yin and yang blood must be mixed with the blood of the seven major families in order to open the transmission channel created by the three treasures."
"Wait, seven major families? As far as I know, there are only the Xu family, the Luoyi family, the Mu family, the Shi family, the Wen family, and the Feng family. Which other family is there?"
"The Mo family is said to have disappeared?"
"They've all disappeared, their clans have been exterminated. Where are the seven great families?"
"I'm not sure about that, Kauna."
Yuan Jing and I spread our hands.
Xiushui seemed to be thinking about something.
"We have been looking for the manipulator behind the scenes. Does that mean that the person behind all this is actually a descendant of the Mo family?
But, how is that possible? Isn't it said that the Mo family has been a family of good people for ten generations, and has always been famous for doing good deeds? "
"Old Na doesn't know either."
Yuan Jing was still smiling. Xiushui muttered for a while but couldn't find the reason, but she also knew the role of the extremely Yang Yang child.
"Master, thank you for clearing up my doubts."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
The lame old man who led the way led people to a rockery, and Xiushui felt dizzy.
She shook her head.
"Why do I feel like...something's wrong?"
She has been too concerned about Mo Yunwen's disappearance recently, so she is in a bad mood?
No, that's not the case.
She was the one who got caught.
I got infected without even realizing it.
When he realized this, Xiushui only had time to give Yingying an instruction before he collapsed to the ground.
In a trance, the lame old man who led the way came over and laughed.
"You're the only one missing."
She sighed inwardly, could it be that the person behind the scenes had been lurking around the fat monk?
When Xiushui woke up again, he unexpectedly found himself in a place full of Bagua formations.
The cold metallic color setting made her wonder several times whether she had traveled back to the modern era.
However, at this moment, she was tied to a metal pillar in a weird posture with her legs spread out. How should I describe the feeling? It was a bit like a picture of the suffering of a god.
"Where is this? Who tied me up? Woo, mother, mother, where are you? Zhen'er is scared."
Beside me, a girl was crying softly.
Immediately afterwards, another kid on the left woke up with a groan.
"Who tied my hands and feet? Damn it, who is so wicked? Don't let me know which bastard did it.
When you get out, I will tear you into pieces."
It sounds like this little fat guy on the left is from some important background.
She looked sideways at the two victims on her left and right.
Well, it seems that they are all about the same age as me.
Then, there was another burst of crying from behind.
"Wu, Dad, Mom, where are you..."
Perhaps the awakening of these people was a switch, but in an instant, Xiushui found that behind him, on both sides, there were shouting and crying sounds all around him.
She looked around quietly, and finally heard some movement up ahead, and then she found the person she was looking for - Mo Yunwen.
Speaking of which, everyone else was just tied to each weird metal pillar.
She was tied in the middle, while Mo Yunwen was suspended in mid-air with his feet dangling. I felt sorry for him because this posture was so uncomfortable.
This strange phenomenon made her guess. She looked down and saw that there was a water tank under each person.
If you look closely, you can still see those winding traces, which should be dried blood...
"Squeak..."
Suddenly, the door of the hall was opened, and a little light came in from outside. Then, a group of people strode in from outside.
However, these people all had a veil covering their faces, which looked a bit like the ones women wear when traveling. But at this time, these people were all dressed in black and wearing veils, so it was impossible to tell whether they were men or women...
However, Xiushui was staring at a person in the crowd.
"Mo Yongchun, the most respected, yet duplicitous Prince Qing of Longqing Country..."
