Big Bodhi - Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Borrowing Flowers to Dedicate Buddha

At this time.

The moonlight is dark and the sky is full of heavy snow.

“Master, come back to the house quickly. It’s not a good idea for you to stand here and wait in this cold and freezing day.”

The woman was about 30 years old, wearing a intricately patterned brown-red brocade embroidered skirt, and carefully put on a gorgeous mink fur for the man standing quietly under the eaves. Her timid gaze was already a little anxious and concerned.

This snow is not Fanxue. Even if the cultivator accidentally touches some, he may have the worry of soaking his body with cold air.

The man’s expression was cold and solemn, and the frost and snow all over his eyebrows seemed to be heavier than the goose feather snow outside the house.

He stretched out his hand to tidy up the thick mink fur, but his gaze still hadn’t changed at all. Through the two main entrances that were wide open dozens of feet away, he looked motionless at dozens of figures that were densely away in the moonlight.

“Master, don’t worry too much. Take care of your health,” the woman’s concern did not seem to be false. “Commander Xu Jianghe personally led people to look for it, he will surely be able to find Nian’er soon.”

“Shut up!”

The man turned his head abruptly, and the cold light in his eyes swept on the woman’s fair and pretty face, causing her to shudder fiercely, and she knelt directly on the ground involuntarily.

“Master, the concubine… The concubine is really worried about the safety of Nian’er, master, you…”

Snapped!

The woman was stunned by the sudden slap, and there was a bright red palm print on her left cheek, and even traces of blood oozing out of her pampered face.

“If Nian’er really died in the Qingluan Mountains, I will sweep you and your daughter out of my Ji family together!”

The man was like an angry lion, and even a little bloodshot appeared in his eyes, and he was obviously extremely angry.

“Nian’er has more than a dozen military guards of the Ji Family Mansion by his side. How could it be possible that he disappeared in the Qingluan Mountains so silently? To obtain the position given to the Ji family by the ancient city of Taichu, that’s why he set up such a trap to murder Nian’er!”

The woman knelt down on the ground, covering her face and weeping uncontrollably. Tears dripped down like beads with broken threads, and she had even soaked the complicated and gorgeous brocade sleeves.

As the main room of Ji Hong, the patriarch of the Ji family, she has been serving carefully for more than ten years, and she has taken care of everything in the Ji family in an orderly manner, which has won praise from inside and outside the Ji family.

Although she was very envious of Ji Yuenian, the eldest son of the Ji family, for his irreplaceable position in the Ji family, she never dared to do anything wrong. Even Ji Xixue, the daughter of the Ji family who was born to Ji Hong, was a little cowardly in front of Ji Yuenian. There has never been a situation where the direct descendants of the patriarch in the ancient city of Taichu compete with each other.

Not long ago, Hexuan Shangshang, who ruled the ancient city of Taichu, handed down the first royal decree after more than 30 years of stationed here. The strongest sect, the Taiyu Shengzong, within the boundaries of Yuanyan Territory, is about to open its gates and recruit disciples from within the nineteen ancient cities under his rule to participate in the assessment of entering the Taiyu Shengzong.

The several cultivating families entrenched in the ancient city of Taichu are extremely wealthy, and they generally respect Hexuan Shangzhen. This time, it is logical that they have obtained a position where they can enter the Taiyu Shengzong Sect without assessment. The position of the Ji family fell on Ji Yuenian, the eldest son of the Ji family, without suspense.

The root of whether a creature can practice lies in the fire of the heart, and whether the fire of the heart can be truly ignited is not only related to the bloodline, but also related to the acquired spiritual resources. Therefore, the descendants of the cultivating family have almost never had the worry of not being able to ignite the fire of the heart.

The woman raised her head with teary eyes, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn’t say a word.

Although Ji Yuenian didn’t hear from her in the Qingluan Mountains, she knew very well that with Ji Hong’s character, it was impossible to listen to her explanation. If Ji Yuenian hadn’t been found, then she and Ji Xixue… I’m afraid that Ji Hong will really be thrown out!

Thinking of this, the woman climbed up and knelt at Ji Hong’s feet, and trembled: “Master, I really didn’t do it. It’s really not me, master! ”

Ji Hong squatted down and gently supported the woman’s trembling shoulders, his eyes full of indifference: “For a whole day, there was no news from Nian’er. The elders of the Ji Parents’ Association and the cattle, ghosts, snakes and gods of the Ji family jumped out. Xu Jianghe just now is already the fourth wave of people who are looking for. I only have two blood descendants in Ji’s family, Nian and Ji Xixue, and Ji Xixue is a woman. ”

After saying this, the woman subconsciously stopped trembling. She is not stupid, and even very intelligent in some ways. At this time, as her thoughts flowed, she thought about it clearly in an instant, but her complexion became more difficult to see.

If the eldest son Ji Yuenian really died in the Qingluan Mountain Range where demons and ghosts were rumoured to be rampant, she was afraid that the huge pressure Ji Hong was facing was beyond her imagination.

There are many side lineages in the Ji family, and these side lineages are intertwined. Although Ji Hong, in addition to the patriarch, also holds the position of the second elder of the Ji Family Elders Association, even he has no way to fully control all the side lineages of the Ji family.

“Think about it, if Nian’er disappears completely, who will fall on the head of this position given by He Xuan Shangzhen?”

Ji Hong gradually narrowed the coldness in his eyes, and his tone became much softer.

The woman tremblingly said, “Ji Baiyu, who is only one year younger than Nian’er! It’s the elder Ji Luoyan! It must have been Ji Luoyan who bribed the mansion guards around Nian’er and brought Nian’er into the Qingluan Mountains! ”

Ji Hong looked at her in silence, without saying a word.

“Master, what do you mean?” the woman looked in a daze, “let Xi Xue and I confess to this crime?” ”

“Ji Luoyan is the great elder, and his power in the Ji family is second only to that of my patriarch,” Ji Hong remained expressionless. “If I can’t find Nian’er at this time, even if I directly attack him, it won’t be of much benefit. On the contrary, Ji Luoyan will seize the handle and take the opportunity to send Ji Baiyu to the stage. ”

The woman was crying, but she couldn’t say half a complete sentence.

“Lian’er, I have wronged you, so let’s go out and hide for a while.”

Ji Hong’s voice came to his ears.

The woman’s body shook slightly, but she was directly startled.

Over the years, no matter how well or carefully she has done, she has never received a word of praise from Ji Hong.

And just now, he actually called himself “Lian’er”.

“Master, you…”

“Don’t worry, after Xu Jianghe returns tomorrow, I will take the opportunity to be furious and angry with you and Ji Xixue, and then secretly send you two to a safe place, and then take this opportunity to support Sanfang to take the top position. , Will not leave any opportunity for Ji Luoyan to take advantage of. ”

Ji Hong stood up and turned his head, but a cold light flashed in his eyes that the woman hadn’t noticed.
