Beast-controlling fairy clan

Jiufeng Ridge, Bailan Peak.

Bailan Peak is one of the nine peaks, and Zhou Jiahui's home is here.

Unlike Zhou Jiahe, who has never been married and had children, Zhou Jiahui has a Taoist couple and children.

Her Taoist companion, Shen Xin, was originally a disciple of the Sanjue Sect. After the split of the Sanjue Sect, he did not choose to join the Spirit Beast Villa. Instead, he took his children and stayed in the Zhou family and accompanied her to Jiufeng Ridge.

At this time, seven days had passed since Zhou Jiahui left Jiufeng Ridge, and Taoist companion Shen Xin, who had not seen his return, began to become anxious.

"It's been seven days, why hasn't Jiahui come back? In the past, wasn't five days enough?"

In the room, Shen Xin, who had gray hair on his head, was walking back and forth in the room with a worried look on his face, feeling very uneasy.

After hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't let go of his worries and took the initiative to go to Pagoda Peak to see the clan leader Zhou Daoyi to inquire about the situation.

As Zhou Jiahui's Taoist companion, although he didn't know what Zhou Jiahui did when he left the family, he also knew that he was assigned by the clan leader Zhou Daoyi.

So when he saw that his Taoist companion had not returned home for many days, he could only go to the clan leader Zhou Daoyi to find out the details.

"What, Jiahui hasn't returned since she went out for seven days?"

In the "Zhongping Hall", Zhou Daoyi met Shen Xin and was shocked when he learned from his mouth that Zhou Jiahui had not returned home for seven days.

Then his eyes flashed with worry, and he nodded to Shen Xin and said, "I know about this matter. I will immediately arrange for someone to investigate the matter. You should go home and wait for the news!"

After Shen Xin said this, he immediately saluted Zhou Daoyi and said, "Then I'll leave it to the clan leader!"

After sending Shen Xin away, Zhou Daoyi pondered for a moment, then called Zhou Jiahe, the peak master of Baozhi Peak, and said in a deep voice: "Jiahui went to the underground river to collect poisonous stickleback mucus. He has not returned for seven days. I'm worried that something might have happened to her. You should go to Hongyafang City quickly and take Zhengchun with you to the underground river to check the situation and see if she has been there!"

When Zhou Jiahe heard this, he was suddenly shocked, and a look of worry for the clan sister instantly appeared on his face.

She immediately responded in a deep voice: "Yes, I will obey the patriarch's order."

Then without any further delay, he rushed directly to Hongyafang City with two big-horned green sheep.

"What? Nineteenth Aunt has not been home for seven days!"

In the Spirit Beast House, Zhou Chun was also shocked when he learned about this incident from Zhou Jiahe who came over.

Then he didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately nodded and responded: "Okay, my nephew will go with you, Thirteenth Aunt!"

So the aunt and nephew quickly left Fangshi, and then transferred to the big-horned green sheep brought by Zhou Jiahe somewhere outside the Hongyan Mountains, and headed straight for the underground river together.

Of course, although the two of them were anxious at this time, they did not relax their vigilance. They used various methods to detect the situation behind them on the road to prevent being followed.

After arriving outside the mountain range, the two placed the two big-horned green sheep in the cave where Luo Guangshun had stored the horses, and then walked together to the waterhole.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the edge of the pool.

"There are no traces left recently. Sister Nineteen must have not been here in the past seven days!"

At the edge of the pool, after Zhou Jiahe's spiritual consciousness scanned the gravel beach beside the pool inch by inch, he told the story of his investigation with a very ugly expression.

For the sake of safety, and because of Luo Guangshun's original demonstration, Zhou Jiahui, at Zhou Chun's suggestion, every time Zhou Jiahui came to the pool alone to catch the poisonous stickleback to collect the mucus, she never went deep into the underground river and only used blood food to lure her. .

So if she had caught a poisonous stickleback near a waterhole recently, even if she cleaned up before leaving, there would definitely be some traces left behind.

And the most important thing is that every time Zhou Jiahui comes over, he will leave a scratch on an inconspicuous stone beside the pool to prove that he has been there.

Now Zhou Jiahe did not find the scratches Zhou Jiahui left on the stone.

"It seems that Nineteenth Aunt encountered something unexpected on her way here!"

Zhou Chun whispered his judgment in a very heavy tone.

Seven days have passed, but Zhou Jiahui has never even arrived at the water pool.

If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid it's already very bad!

"Since Nineteenth Sister was assigned by the clan leader to do this task, she was also given Lian Xinji. Even if something unexpected happens, as long as she is not killed instantly, she can secretly leave Lian Xinji as a mark."

When Zhou Jiahe said this, he looked at Zhou Chun and said: "We will go back to the family immediately and ask the clan leader to use the Lianxin Moleworm to find traces of the Nineteenth Sister!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

Zhou Chun nodded, and immediately returned to the cave where the big-horned green sheep were stored with Zhou Jiahe. Then, regardless of the fact that the two big-horned green sheep had not yet rested, he directly fed them strong medicine to stimulate their life potential and made them gallop all the way.

After running in this way for most of the distance, the two big-horned green sheep were exhausted to death. Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiahe's aunt and nephew directly used the flying magic weapon to complete the remaining half of the distance and returned to Jiufeng Ridge as quickly as possible.

"Okay, I understand the situation. You all should have a good rest first. I will ask the third elder to take the Lianxin mole mother for a trip in person!"

In the "Zhongping Hall", after listening to the report of Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiahe who hurried back, Zhou Daoyi also looked serious and responded quickly.

Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiahe were really exhausted physically and mentally at this time. After hearing this, they immediately returned to their residence on Baozhi Peak to rest together.

After resting like this for half a day, Zhou Chun got up with a heavy heart.

The disappearance of Zhou Jiahui is too delicate at this juncture.

Now that Spirit Beast Studio has just been revitalized by the huge sales of "Touch of Despair", if there is a problem with the production of "Touch of Despair" at this time, it will be a big problem.

And Zhou Chun is even more worried about another thing, that is, if Zhou Jiahui really has an accident, will the location of the underground river be known to outsiders?

With so much on his mind, he couldn't sit still and went to Baiyao Peak.

"Although the formula of Touch of Despair's powder is complicated, this powder is not an elixir after all. There are no technical difficulties in alchemy. If there is a monk who is proficient in pharmaceutical technology and knows all the ingredients in it, I can't guarantee that it will be carefully analyzed. The other party won’t work backwards to restore the formula!”

"So if we don't want this poison to be copied by outsiders, we have to strictly control the leakage of the poisonous stickleback's mucus. Without this mucus, even if outsiders restore the powder formula, it will be useless!"

On Bai Yao Peak, facing Zhou Chun's inquiry, Zhou Jiawei also expressed his opinion without any concealment.

This answer undoubtedly made Zhou Chun feel even heavier.

What the third elder Zhou Daoquan said after returning from the outside made the faces of several Zhou family insiders look very ugly.

"I took the female mole cricket back and forth four times, changing routes, but no response was received at all. From this, we can know that the mole cricket on Jia Hui was either dead or taken away. a place far away!"

In the "Zhongping Hall", several Zhou family members who knew about it were gathered here, listening to the third elder Zhou Daoquan explain the experience of this outing.

The Lianxin mole is a special kind of insect domesticated by the Zhou family. Its mother insect and its daughter insects can sense the position of the daughter insects even if they are hundreds of miles away.

Therefore, every core member of the Zhou family, as well as some elite members who receive special attention, will carry a heart-linking worm with them and hide it in the soles of their shoes or in their trouser pockets.

In this way, if they encounter life or death danger outside, they can let the worms burrow deep into the ground, allowing the family to find the place where they were killed, so that they can trace the murderer and avenge themselves.

At this time, I heard that Zhou Daoquan had gone out searching several times with the mother worm Lianxin, but could not find the worm on Zhou Jiahui. All the monks of the Zhou family present realized the seriousness of the matter.

Invariably, Zhou Chun and others looked at the clan leader Zhou Daoyi, waiting for his speech.

"Lian Xin Mo is a special spiritual insect that was re-cultivated by my Zhou family after it took root in Jiufeng Ridge. Not even the ordinary members of my Zhou family know of its existence, and it does not have any magic power in it. It is unlikely to be The enemy found out!"

"And even if Jiahui is captured by humans, she should know that leaving Lian Xinji behind is for the sake of the family, and she will not be so stupid as to let the enemy take her and Lian Xinji away together!"

"So we have reason to believe that Jiahui was not only killed, but the Lian Xinji he was carrying with him was also discovered and destroyed!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Daoyi slowly expressed his opinion

After hearing what he said, Zhou Daoquan immediately raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "The patriarch thinks that someone in the family revealed the existence of Lian Xinzhu? Someone colluded with outsiders to assassinate Jia Hui?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out!"

Zhou Daoyi nodded gloomily.

"Nineteenth sister was killed when she went out to collect the poisonous stickleback mucus. The outsiders assassinated her probably for the purpose of plotting the poisonous stickleback fish mucus. In this case, wouldn't it be that Spirit Beast Villa is the most suspect?"

When Zhou Jiahe said this, he gritted his teeth and said: "That makes sense. Only they are the easiest to learn about the existence of Lian Xinzhu from the traitors in the family!"

Her speculation was quite reasonable.

But as the clan leader, Zhou Daoyi could not make such a conclusion just because of such a speculation.

At that moment, he waved his hands and said: "It's not like we can make such an arbitrary decision. Maybe there is no traitor. It's just that Jiahui encountered a powerful opponent who attacked and was killed and captured alive without any preparation!"

After saying that, he said in a deep voice: "The top priority now is to find the real place where Jiahui's accident happened, and determine the truth of the matter by investigating the place where the incident occurred!"

However, just as he finished speaking and was about to arrange for manpower to search for the location of Zhou Jiahui's accident, Zhou Chun, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"If, I mean if, if Thirteenth Aunt's speculation is true, and the enemy who murdered Nineteenth Aunt came for the poisonous stickleback mucus, then shouldn't he wait for Nineteenth Aunt to go to the water pool and lure out the poisonous stickleback fish? Do you want to do it?"

"If it wasn't for the poisonous stickleback mucus that harmed Nineteenth Aunt, then with Nineteenth Aunt's cultivation strength, what kind of strong person can make her unable to even keep her heart? Why would such a strong person do this? Harming Nineteenth Aunt?"

When Zhou Chun said this, seeing that everyone's eyes were drawn to him, he immediately continued:

"If it's the former, since there are no traces of Nineteenth Gu's arrival on the other side of the pool, it means that she was killed on the way. It also means that she discovered the enemy following her in advance and had enough time to leave Lian Xinji behind."

"And the enemy knew that she was responsible for collecting the poisonous stickleback mucus, tracked her accurately, was discovered by her, and was able to kill Lian Xinji afterwards. This must be someone within the family who leaked the secret!"

"If it's the latter, we have to think about why that kind of strong man would harm Nineteenth Aunt? What good would it do to him?"

Compared with Zhou Jiahe's speculation mixed with personal anger, Zhou Chun's analysis is undoubtedly much more reasonable and does not involve any personal likes and dislikes.

Therefore, it attracted more attention from the clan leader Zhou Daoyi and the elder Zhou Daoquan.

After Zhou Daoyi pondered for a moment, he raised his head and said, "Let's talk about the latter first. If it's the latter, then the person who murdered Jia Hui can only have one purpose, which is to disturb the audience and induce us to turn our hatred towards spiritual beings." Beast Villa.”

"But based on this alone, we have no evidence. The Zhou family will definitely not cause trouble to the Spirit Beast Villa. If he wants to make the Zhou family and Spirit Beast Villa fight, he will definitely continue to use other means to ignite the fire. !”

At this point, his face turned slightly cold, and he immediately said in a cold voice: "If this is the case, we just need to remain unchanged in response to all changes, and wait for the murderer of Jia Hui to jump out again!"

But he also knew in his heart that this possibility was not very big.

Therefore, his expression soon changed again, and he said sadly: "If it's the former, then it's really unfortunate for the family!"

After listening to his analysis, everyone felt that the truth was basically these two situations.

So the Third Elder Zhou Daoquan also quickly spoke up and said: "Then let's go forward from both ends. On the one hand, we should conceal the news of Jiahui's disappearance first, don't make any big noise, and see if there is really any mastermind behind it!"

"The other side is closely monitoring and investigating those members of the family who know Lian Xinji, and see if we can find out who is the traitor!"

This was supposed to be said by Zhou Daoyi, the patriarch of the clan, but as Zhou Daoquan was the elder of the clan, it was not too much to say this. At most, it was a bit inappropriate.

But Zhou Daoyi obviously didn't care about this.

At that moment, he nodded and said, "Yes, let's do it like this. I will tell Jiahui's Taoist couple and children to tell them!"

After saying that, he glanced at everyone in the hall, and finally fell on Zhou Chun.

I saw him saying: "Zhengchun, you don't have to go back to Fang City for the time being. I will arrange for someone to take your place. Then you can stay in the clan and assist me in investigating the traitors in the clan!" "

After hearing his words, Zhou Daoquan's eyes narrowed slightly, seeming thoughtful.

Zhou Jiahe didn't react at all, he was still in sadness.

Zhou Chun was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly responded: "Yes, I will obey."
