Chapter 1219

The letter from Man Gu was very long, and it quoted all sorts of things that shouldn't have been quoted, and added all sorts of unnecessary classical particles at the end of sentences,

Setting aside these useless contents, Lu Yang summarized it roughly: the county town is haunted and cannot be resolved, senior brother, save me.

Lu Yang found it quite outrageous: Man Gu, a great master of the Void Refining stage, can't even deal with a haunting—oh, Void Refining stage, then it's indeed unsolvable.

"Old Meng, Junior Brother Man sent me a letter saying their place is haunted." Lu Yang took the letter and went to find the nemesis of ghosts.

It had been ten days since Meng Jingzhou was blown up, and he had just consolidated his realm and emerged from seclusion.

"You also received one?"

Meng Jingzhou also had a letter sent by Man Gu.

Comparing the dates of the two letters, they understood the sequence of events: Man Gu first sent a letter to Meng Jingzhou, but happened to catch him in seclusion, so he then sent another letter to Lu Yang.

However, seeing that Man Gu still had the energy to quibble over wording in the letter, it should not be an urgent matter.

"What do you think?" Meng Jingzhou asked.

Lu Yang revealed an unfathomable smile; since entering the Tribulation Transcendence stage, he has liked to smile like this: "When stillness reaches its extreme, one thinks of movement; it's also time to go out and move about."

"That's right."

"Senior Horse—. "

Originally, Lu Yang wanted to call Old Horse, but after scanning around, he didn't see him anywhere.

"Uncle Horse has returned to his hometown in the East Sea to seclude himself and attempt a breakthrough." Meng Jingzhou said, "It looks like he's aiming to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage."

"That truly calls for congratulations." Lu Yang laughed, "Senior Horse, as Old Meng's Dharma protector, although he didn't play much of a role, he also worked very hard."

Turning back, he will send congratulatory gifts to the Dragon Horse clan, celebrating Senior Horse's breakthrough.

Uncle Horse's breakthrough also made Meng Jingzhou very happy: "Uncle Horse has already broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, while my father is still stuck in the Unity stage; if my father had run away from home with me back then, he would already be at the Tribulation Transcendence stage by now!"

""—Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Sometimes Old Meng's thinking is so active that Lu Yang feels his own thinking is too rigid.

"Even if Senior Horse isn't here, it's fine, anyway you're already at the Tribulation Transcendence stage."

"That's right, with you here at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, what is there to fear?"

The two mutually praised each other without reservation.

The two laughed heartily and decided to set off immediately.

Considering that both of them have had experiences of being featured in newspapers, even an entire page dedicated to their portraits, they need to disguise themselves before going out.

The county managed by Man Gu is Zhongqu County in the Zhongshan Quyi of Huangzhou in the Great Xia.

The two traveled swiftly by wind and lightning, directly arriving at Zhongqu County.

Along the way, they偶然 encountered the opening of an ancient battlefield relic, said to be left over from the period of hegemony struggles at the end of the Great Qian dynasty; although the souls have long since vanished, their unyielding will remains, and the ancient battlefield is scattered with countless opportunities, but only those who display noble conduct and exceptional talent

can gain the recognition of the unyielding will and become the master of the ancient battlefield relic.

The two entered the ancient battlefield relic along the way, took out the shadow-recording ball to play the recording of Juefeng, and told the unyielding wills: whether you are cultivators of the Great Qian or the Great Yu, behave yourselves and stop fighting all day; Siming and Guan Shanhai are both imprisoned in Juefeng Pass.

The unyielding wills quickly submitted to the two; the two subdued the ancient battlefield relic, donated it to the Great Xia imperial court, and proposed that Qi Condensation stage cultivators under twenty-two years old could come to the ancient battlefield relic for training.

The two also obtained a fragment of a celestial artifact from the ancient battlefield relic; according to the introduction by the unyielding wills, its origin is unknown, but it contains the meaning of yin and yang, and is very helpful for cultivating the Yin-Yang Dao; it once caused half-immortals to fight over it, coming to blows.

According to the identification by the Immortal Child, it is confirmed to be the recording device used by the Ninth Layer Immortal Observatory to record the mating of the Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit.

Both wanted to see the Ninth Layer Immortal's records; in the struggle, they accidentally fell down into the mountain ravine below, not knowing where, and had to give up.

A hunter's child in the mountains was hunting, a locally famous divine archer, and he shot an arrow through the rabbit.

Following the direction of the arrow feathers, they discovered that beside the rabbit there was a finely crafted fragment, carved with unknown patterns.

"What is this?"

He picked up both the rabbit and the fragment at the same time; the rabbit's blood accidentally splashed onto the fragment, and the fragment burst forth with strange radiance, projecting a beam of light that entered the child's glabella.

The child recited the information contained in the fragment: "First layer of the Extreme Yin Cultivation Method?"

"There's also the Extreme Yang Cultivation Method, why is only the name left and the content missing?"

"Could it be that because this is a fragment, we need to find the other fragments to piece together the complete method?"

"And there's this Golden Crow Jade Rabbit Contemplation Diagram, covered by a thin mist; is it because I'm not a cultivator that I can't see it?"

Although we don't know the origin of the fragment, judging from the names of the cultivation method and the contemplation diagram, we know this is not an ordinary object.

"Look, you told him to grab it, and he lost it?"

"You said it as if you didn't grab it yourself."

After arriving at Zhongqu County, the two still couldn't forget what happened on the road; of course, the two were just looking for an opportunity to bicker.

After all, losing it wasn't really important; the Extreme Yin Cultivation Method is of little use to the two, and only the Golden Crow Jade Rabbit Contemplation Diagram is somewhat interesting.

"This place seems to be well governed by Man Gu." The two walked along the main street toward the county office; now it is daytime, exactly when the county magistrate is presiding in the office.

The road is clean and tidy, children are playing and frolicking, the sound of loud reading can be heard, and there are constables patrolling the streets.

The two arrived at the county office and happened to catch Man Gu presiding over a trial.

Man Gu is tall and bulky; wearing the official robe, he looks somewhat out of place, and more importantly, his sleeves are rolled up, exposing his bulging arm muscles.

Man Gu sat upright with proper posture, slapped the table with one palm, and loudly declared the court in session.

After shouting, he realized he had forgotten to use the sounding board to slap the table; well, it doesn't matter.

Two women were holding a child, crying and wailing.

Lu Yang stood in the crowd at the county office gate and roughly understood the situation.

One of the women said her child had been lost since childhood; yesterday she discovered that a child from another household looked very much like her child, so she claimed it was hers, but the other household disagreed, saying it was their biological child.

The two had been arguing until they came here, asking Man Gu to make a decision.

The chief clerk whispered in Man Gu's ear: "My lord, you can order someone to beat the child; the harder the beating, the better; whoever feels pity for the child is the child's true mother."

Man Gu looked at the chief clerk with a strange gaze: "Is your method effective? Besides, even if the child is not the biological child of that household, they have raised him for several years, and they would also feel pity for the child."

"Then what does my lord mean?"

"Of course it's blood relative recognition."

"Ah? I heard blood relative recognition isn't very accurate."

"It's quite accurate."

Man Gu had the two women and children each drop a drop of blood into a bowl, then activated magic power to make a drop of blood explode, presenting the information contained in the blood before everyone, and at the same time explained.

"There are thirty million million tiny units in the blood, these tiny units have different sequences, and only blood relatives have the same sequence."

"Thirty million million tiny units?" Zhu Bo stammered, asking, "How is this to be compared?"

"Of course by looking with the eyes." Man Gu said matter-of-factly, carefully observing the sequence of the tiny units, and soon reached a conclusion,

"Strange, how come the sequences of you three are almost the same?"

"Oh, I understand, you Ren are one family."

Man Gu pointed at a household: "Actually you are already over fifty years old, you look young because you are a cultivator, did you lose a daughter?"

That household nodded repeatedly.

Then Man Gu pointed at another woman: "Were you picked up since childhood?"

The woman also nodded.

Man Gu slammed his hand, pointing at that household and said: "Then it's settled, she is your mother."

"In other words, you are the child's mother, she is the child's maternal grandmother."
