Chapter 321: The Disappeared Immortal Villa Has Problems

"Let me see that whistle."

"Young Master, please take a look."

Huang Yue Niang took the silver whistle off her neck and handed it to Ji You.

The workmanship of this silver whistle is extremely exquisite, but the sound is not emitted through the whistle body itself, but by the vibration of the reed inside.

Whenever airflow surges, the reed will constantly shake, thereby emitting a high-frequency vibration sound.

However, just from this silver whistle, it is impossible to find anything useful.

Ji You observed carefully for a long time, then raised his head to look at Tan Huizhi: "Does anyone else know about your affairs?"

"The people who were looking for relatives with us before all know we were looking for someone, but they gave up halfway, so they didn't go to the Corpse Cave with us; everyone who knows about this is here now."

"When you were investigating the Bu family, did you find any other abnormalities? For example, people unrelated to the Bu family?"

After Tan Huizhi thought carefully, he shook his head: "We didn't stay at the Bu family branch for too long; during that time, except for the workers at the branch, we didn't see anyone else."

As the voice fell, the ceramic lid of the medicine pot began to jump, and then it emitted a more intense medicinal smell.

Hearing this sound, everyone looked sideways, and at the same time, they looked at Ji You, observing his attitude.

Ji You did not speak, but returned the whistle to Huang Yue Niang, then got up and went to the eaves at the door.

Seeing this scene, everyone immediately got up silently, and without saying a word, began to pour medicine out of the medicine pot.

Ji You did not know what medicinal materials they used, only feeling it was spicy and pungent.

After the medicine juice cooled down a little, they carried the porcelain bowls into the courtyard.

In the early morning, the drizzle was misty, a layer of white fog floated on the distant mountains, and the air carried a chill.

Everyone gathered at the wall corner where the evil seeds were trapped; some were responsible for holding them down, while others were responsible for pouring the medicine lightly into the mouths of those who had turned into evil.

While pouring, an old grandmother who had not said a word before suddenly shed two lines of turbid tears.

In fact, having persisted for so long, they had tried every medicine prescription, and they had long known that this was not an illness, but they still held onto this bit of hope and were unwilling to let go.

Having searched for so many years, the person was finally found; the appearance had changed, but they were still alive and kicking after all, so who could really treat them as dead.

Ji You looked around silently, and when he saw a stone peak with two corners in the east, he could not help but frown slightly.

So he leaped up, headed toward the mountaintop, and landed on the peak.

He felt somewhat familiar just now, and only now did he discover that on the east side, only one mountain away, it had once been one of his breakthrough places.

And at that time, he had never thought that there would be such a situation one mountain away.

When he returned to the small courtyard, the three bowls of medicinal soup had been poured, and Huang Yue Niang was using a handkerchief to gently wipe the corners of the mouth of the evil-transformed Li Ruilin.

"He couldn't even give you the status of a concubine, yet you actually searched for him for so many years?"

"I was saved by him."

Huang Yue Niang opened her mouth softly while wiping the corners of his mouth: "Ten years ago, because my family couldn't pay the tax, my father was beaten to death by the government runners, and the county magistrate wanted to sell me and my mother into the flower building to pay off the debt; it was he who passed by and saved us; I will never be able to repay him in this life."

After hearing this, Ji You was silent for a long time: "Immortals are just people after all; there are good ones and bad ones, it's just that many cultivators forget that they are people while cultivating..."

"Young Master's insight..."

"But you will kill yourself like this."

After hearing this, Huang Yue Niang lowered her head: "Yue Niang should have died ten years ago."

After hearing this, Ji You fell into silence, looking at the gloomy sky and not speaking for a long time.

Who exactly were those people, and what was their final purpose? These questions were like the gloomy clouds overhead, unable to dissipate in his heart.

Tan Huizhi walked out of the room at this time, with two young people, carrying water buckets, to repair the wall smashed by Li Ruilin when he escaped.

After watching for a long time, Ji You suddenly spoke: "Family Head Tan."

Tan Huizhi turned his head when he heard the sound: "Young Master?"

"I haven't been in the Immortal Sect for long; if there is anything I say that is wrong, please don't mind."

"Please speak."

Ji You looked at his aged face and said: "Why have I never heard of the Tan family, and have never even seen a disciple with the surname Tan."

Tan Huizhi was stunned, then sighed: "My Tan family is actually a declining family; as early as five hundred years ago, the population had withered. Although I am the head of the Tan family, except for me and my son, there is only my grandson; now... I don't know if my grandson can still be considered a person."

"No wonder you would let your only grandson work in the Immortal Villa."

"Young Master, you make me laugh."

Ji You turned his head and glanced at Tan Xun, who had turned into an evil corpse: "I forgot to ask, which Immortal Villa was he in before he went missing."

After hearing this, Tan Huizhi said: "It was an Immortal Villa in Fengzhou, called Fengxian."

"?"

"Young Master?"

"It's actually an old acquaintance."

Hearing this long-forgotten name, Ji You's eyes became exceptionally deep.

The reason why he entered the Heavenly Academy back then, if he got to the bottom of it, was actually because of this Fengxian Villa.

Tan Huizhi looked at his suddenly serious expression and could not help but speak: "Could it be that Young Master knows this Immortal Villa?"

"Speaking of which, it's a coincidence; this Immortal Villa was near Yuyang County where I was born, but as far as I know, it moved away four years ago."

"Yes..."

After Tan Huizhi finished speaking, he suddenly fell into silence.

Ji You stared at him for a long time: "If you have anything you want to say, just say it."

"Young Master mentioning Fengxian Villa has aroused some of the old man's early guesses; regarding their leaving Fengzhou, the old man feels that it was not a relocation."

"Tell me in detail."

"After my grandson was lost, the first thing I investigated was Fengxian Villa, wanting to find someone familiar with him in the villa to inquire about his whereabouts, but later I discovered that it was not just my grandson who was lost; it could even be said that everyone was lost."

"It's just that those who were forced to join the Immortal Villa were originally marginal figures, not valued by the family, and plus, practitioners are naturally cold-blooded, and there are many descendants, so many families still don't know that people are missing from their homes."

Although Tan Huizhi's cultivation is not high, he has lived to this age after all, and his mind is still extremely meticulous.

He initially thought that Ji You was really just passing by and happened to discover Li Ruilin, so he was curious why their family members had turned into evil corpses.

But until the few questions just now, he realized that Ji You didn't seem to be curious on a whim, but was investigating something.

In fact, he also really wanted to know what kind of people harmed their family members into such a neither-human-nor-ghost appearance, and wanted to find the enemy to take revenge.

But after so many years of searching, his sixth sense told him that this matter was bottomless, and their low cultivation could not do anything at all.

Now that he learned that Ji You also seemed to want to find that group of people, he poured out all the doubts he knew.

Hearing this, Ji You's eyes began to become deep.

Some things don't need to be said too clearly; as long as the person listening also has doubts, they can figure it out.

Tan Huizhi's words were implying that perhaps the entire villa had problems.

"What about A-Jun's younger brother? Which Immortal Villa is he in?"

Ji You had just compared the missing person notices and asked about the identities of the missing persons one by one, knowing that except for Tan Huizhi's grandson, the younger brother of the swordsman A-Jun was also an Immortal Villa disciple.

Seeing this, Tan Huizhi raised his head: "Returning to Young Master's words, A-Lang is also in Fengzhou, in an Immortal Villa called Ziyun."

"It's really a coincidence."

Hearing this, Ji You could not help but whisper softly.

Back then, when he established a family in Fengzhou, he conducted a census of the population and the number of Immortal Villas in the territory for three consecutive years.

If he remembered correctly, this Ziyun Villa was also one of the villas that suddenly moved away from Fengzhou back then.

He thought at the time that it was because the tax was reduced by himself, and many families could not get a share of the oil and water, so they looked for other places, but now it seems that things are not that simple at all.

At the hour of the dragon (7-9 AM), the sun rose slightly.

There was cooking smoke rising in the courtyard, mixed with the white fog in the mountains.

Ji You stepped out of the small courtyard and walked into the damp mountain forest.

Different perspectives lead to different attitudes toward the same thing.

Just like those elders who were about to die, when they saw the Bu family, they felt it was immortal fate, felt it was an immortal opportunity to extend their lives.

But they never thought that in the eyes of others, this was a broken home, a life-and-death separation.

It's just that for this kind of thing, he is also powerless.

Just like Huang Yue Niang, since she has already made the determination to die with him, then persuasion or comfort is meaningless to them.

Now the most important thing is to see if we can find out what those people hiding behind the scenes are doing through the line of the Immortal Villa...

After the Wandering Immortal Assembly, it was early summer; a few light rains fell, and the cicadas began to chirp. ===== CHAPTER 322 =====
