Young Master Pu of Deren Hall was very annoyed these days. It had been two months since the last trip to the Blackpool Swamp.
At that time, the Red Toad Blood was also used to make medicine for his wife, Lady Qu. Everything was good, and his wife slowly got better.
But these days, he suddenly found that his wife was a little crazy. Recently, she had been talking nonsense, saying that his father-in-law came to him and said that he didn't want to live there. There was a noise on the roof of the house.
His wife sometimes locked herself in the room, and her hair was always disheveled.
The ancestor of the family also said that if he didn't take care of her well, he would ask Pu Siyuan to divorce his wife and remarry. Under the double pressure, Young Master Pu had to hide in the shop of Deren Hall and didn't go back.
Fortunately, Deren Hall's business was good recently. There was no distinction between day and night for cultivators, and they were full of energy.
Young Master Pu had no choice but to help in the shop.
Yi Tian had been cultivating in seclusion at home recently, and he had almost improved his wood spirit technique to the peak of the third level of Qi Refining.
If it weren't for the last battle, it would probably take half a year. In addition, he had recently learned the fire control technique of concentrating, which was good for consolidating his cultivation.
He didn't lag behind in his cultivation either. Both wood and fire had reached the peak of the third level, and he only needed an opportunity to break through.
There was nothing to do at home, so no matter how he cultivated, he didn't feel anything, so Yi Tian went out to stroll and see what opportunities there were in the shop.
He happened to pass by Deren Hall and see Pu Siyuan. After all, he was very grateful to him.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the listless young shopkeeper. The two went to the back hall and sat down to talk in detail. Only then did they know that such a thing had happened recently.
Yi Tian wanted Pu Siyuan to owe him another favor.
There were still many things that he hadn't asked clearly, and he still needed to learn the Refining Truth by himself.
He just thought of Pu Siyuan and wanted to ask him if there was any way to get it.
But looking at him now, even if Yi Tian asked to borrow the map, it would be useless. Pu Siyuan's mind was not here.
Yi Tian was not discouraged. Pu Siyuan's words were a bit interesting. After asking in detail, he found out that his wife, Lady Qu, had married him five years ago.
The next year, his father-in-law, Qu Renjie, died and his body was buried on Mount Shaohua to the west of Pu Shan Lane.
Madam Qu said that her father came to find her and said that he wasn't living well. That meant that there was something wrong with the tomb. As for his mental disorder, that was his own problem. Since there were problems, they could be solved one by one.
Therefore, Yi Tian proposed to help Pu Siyuan visit his father-in-law's grave on the mountain some other day. The Feng Shui techniques he had learned could also be put to good use.
There was no time like the present. Pusiyuan was also annoyed by this matter. Now that he saw Yi Tian suggesting that he could help, he might as well give it a try.
He didn't expect Yi Tian to help him settle this matter. With Yi Tian's age, he couldn't believe everything he said.
Pu Siyuan asked Yi Tian to wait for a moment while he went to prepare and find a few helpers.
After waiting for a few hours, Yi Tian finished two pots of tea before Pu Siyuan returned.
Behind him was a middle-aged scholar in his thirties. His skin wasn't dark, his manners were elegant, and he had a storage bag on his waist. He followed closely behind Pu Siyuan.
After the three of them greeted each other, they introduced the person to Yi Tian. He was Pu Siyuan's senior brother, Cai Wenbin, and he was at the sixth level of Qi Refinement.
Yi Tian didn't dare to be negligent and stood up to greet him again.
Cai Wenbin also just symbolically returned the greeting and sat there without saying a word. Pu Siyuan could only chuckle a few times.
The housekeeper outside the door entered the inner hall and informed the eldest young master and the others that they were ready. The three of them set off in an orderly manner.
This time, the Pu family was especially careful when they went out to Pu Shan Lane. After the incident last time, they heard that Pu Shan Sect was furious.
They ordered the patrol to send people out to find the whereabouts of Lonely Mountain's Twin Killers, Tian Meng, and kill them on the spot without reporting.
They also issued a bounty of five hundred spirit stones. Now, this was the hot topic in the lane. The people who really dared to take the bounty were nowhere to be found.
The group set off from the west gate and got on an ox cart, followed by the housekeeper and a group of servants. When the time came, Yi Tian didn't need to dig the grave and lift the coffin himself.
When they arrived at Mount Shaohua, Pu Siyuan led the group and quickly found the grave of his father-in-law, Qu Renjie.
Yi Tian looked around. The grave was located on the south side of Mount Shaohua. The east was surrounded by the Evergreen River, and the west was a winding mountain road that led to the distance.
The back was against the main vein of Mount Shaohua. Although the front door didn't have a reservoir, it was still a good place.
It was the left side of the Azure Dragon, the right side of the White Tiger, and the back was against the Black Tortoise. The south side lacked the Vermillion Bird. The people buried here were rich but not expensive. It was the favorite of mortal merchants.
In front of the grave, the handwriting on the tombstone was still quite clear. It seemed that Pu Siyuan came here every year to take care of it.
Yi Tian looked around the grave and didn't find any traces of a burglary. He only saw some marks on the back of the grave. There was also a small hole as thick as a bamboo pole, but it didn't seem to be man-made.
So he called Pu Siyuan and told him that something had entered the grave and they needed to dig it up.
However, they had to be careful not to disturb the things inside, so the servants only had to do what they were told. If anyone was negligent, it would be troublesome.
After Pu Siyuan and Cai Wenbin heard this, they were skeptical. They couldn't come here for nothing. Besides, Yi Tian seemed to have seen something. Since they believed him, they would do as he said.
After instructing the housekeeper, the servants had no choice but to pick up the tools they had brought.
They pushed the tombstone, erected the triangular well railings, and dug two feet into the grave to see the coffin.
When Yi Tian saw this, he shouted for them to stop. They didn't want to lift the coffin yet. They took out the ingots, candles, and incense and worshipped in front of the grave. Then, they took out yellow paper and burned it to ashes, sprinkling it on the coffin with water.
After they were done, he told everyone to open the coffin on the spot and not to panic if they saw anything.
The servants were so scared that they didn't dare to go up. Pu Siyuan's face darkened and he turned to look at the housekeeper.
Fortunately, the housekeeper was also a cultivator, so he wasn't afraid. He jumped down and took the hammer and chisel from the servant's hand and directly chiseled open the lid.
When everyone opened the lid, they suddenly heard someone shout "snake" in fright. Everyone looked carefully and saw a red chain snake wrapped around the neck of a skeleton. When Pu Siyuan saw it, he wanted to go up, but he was stopped by Yi Tian.
"Brother Pu, don't panic. This is a flood dragon. It lives in this mountain and cultivates. We don't have to cut off its path of survival. We can just ask it to leave.
You have to know that it will be beneficial to you in the future if you do good deeds. "
After hearing this, Pu Siyuan pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After Yi Tian finished speaking, he picked up the water from earlier and sprinkled it on the snake. He also muttered, "Great Immortal, please move the grave here. Please find another place to cultivate."
After saying that, he bowed three times to the snake. The red chain snake nodded and turned around to swim out of the small hole in the head of the coffin. After a while, it swam into Mount Shaohua.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Yi Tian instructed Pu Siyuan to find another place with good feng shui and move Qu Renjie's grave there.
After hearing this, Pu Siyuan repeatedly agreed. Behind him, Cai Wenbin's eyes also lit up and he opened his eyes to look at Yi Tian.
On the way back, Pu Siyuan was in high spirits. He thought that his wife's problem should be solved, so he spoke more along the way.
Yi Tian looked at the excited Pu Siyuan and couldn't help but reply, "This matter is only half solved. Now is not the time to be happy."
After hearing this, Pu Siyuan sighed and slumped in his seat.
Seeing that Yi Tian was thinking about something, the two of them didn't want to interrupt Yi Tian's thoughts. Along the way, the atmosphere in the car gradually became solemn.
In fact, Yi Tian was also glad that he was interested in the Xunlong Acupuncture Point Technique. He just happened to come in and study the Yin Corpse Technique in detail, so he had some understanding of these things.
Today, he heard about his wife's situation from Pu Siyuan, which coincided with the records written in the book. He also wanted to try to explore based on these clues.
He didn't expect that the situation was expected, but the situation was also out of control. Now it was no longer a matter of one person. This matter involved a dead person, so there must be something he didn't know.
According to Yi Tian's character, he would plan before taking action. Only by taking one step and looking three steps ahead could he be in an invincible position.
After returning to Deren Hall, Yi Tian proposed to see Qu's situation first. Pu Siyuan also felt that it was reasonable, so he hurriedly informed the housekeeper to prepare a carriage. The three of them hurried back to Pu Siyuan's home.
After learning that Pu Siyuan didn't live in the Pu family's ancestral home after getting married, but moved out, Yi Tian felt that this was unreasonable, but he didn't dare to ask more.
After arriving at Pu Siyuan's residence, he asked the maidservants. Qu's mother had made a fuss in the morning, but after getting tired in the afternoon, she lay on the bed and fell asleep.
Yi Tian proposed to see Qu's mother, but the maidservants felt that he didn't look like a doctor. He was completely dressed as a paladin. Besides, strangers entering the madam's bedroom would cause gossip.
Pu Siyuan's face was ugly, and he ordered the maidservants to do as Yi Tian said. Only then did the maidservants obediently lead the three men into the room.
Qu's mother was lying on the bed with a serene expression and even breathing. It seemed that she was already asleep.
Yi Tian looked at Qu's eyebrows and ears, and then picked up Qu's right hand to take a closer look. After that, he left the bedroom with Pu Siyuan and Cai Wenbin.
After going out, Pu Siyuan looked at Yi Tian and thought for a while, but he hesitated to speak. Cai Wenbin motioned to Pu Siyuan and Pu Siyuan to bring Yi Tian to the secret room.
After the three of them sat down, Pu Siyuan went straight to the point and said, "Brother Yi, do you have any worries? Can you tell me? I will tell you everything I know."
Looking at Pu Siyuan's sincere face, Yi Tian had no choice but to ask the questions in his heart one by one.
It turned out that Qu's mother wasn't poisoned, but a corpse Gu. Yi Tian saw that there were faint red spots between Qu's eyebrows, purplish black behind her ears, and her palms were sometimes cold and sometimes hot. Only then did he think of the Yin Corpse Technique's Gu Control Technique.
This was originally a method used by the caster to control corpses. This Gu worm was also carefully cultivated and was connected to the caster's mind.
After listening to Yi Tian, Pu Siyuan told him the matter. It turned out that Pu Siyuan had taken a fancy to the Qu family's wife and proposed marriage to his father-in-law, Qu Renjie.
Originally, both sides had come to an agreement, but Qu's cousin had been admiring him since he was young and strongly opposed this matter.
Under Qu Renjie's insistence, his cousin finally left in anger, and then Pu Siyuan married Qu's mother.
However, the Pu family strongly opposed marrying a mortal woman, so Pu Siyuan bought a house outside and got married in a fit of anger.
Fortunately, the family didn't pursue the matter, and the Ancestor, Pu Shandao, said that there would be no next time, so the matter was left unsettled.
After listening to the story, he sighed. It seemed that this Pu Siyuan was a sentimental person. Such a person was worth befriending.
Cai Wenbin originally didn't say anything, but after hearing Pu Siyuan's words, he was also moved. He turned to Yi Tian and cupped his hands, saying, "Brother Yi, please help Junior Brother resolve this crisis. If you have any requests, I will not refuse."
Yi Tian also saw Pu Siyuan looking at him with hope, and knew that this matter couldn't be delayed any longer, so he readily agreed.
However, if he proposed a plan and all the arrangements, the two of them had to agree unconditionally. Pu Siyuan and Cai Wenbin nodded repeatedly.
