Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 314: Different formations
Hearing the news of Jia Shifang's tragic death, even Wu Mian, who had always had a clear face, was stunned. After reacting, he said to Ruyue who came to report the letter: "You said Jia Shifang died? On the day of his wife's funeral?"
"Yes, I was there at the time..." After sighing, Ruyue continued: "It started to rain when Taijun was going to the funeral, and Master Jia kept crying. When he got to the cemetery, he seemed to be crazy. I hit the tombstone with my head in the same way. As a result, I knocked myself unconscious, and just as the servants were going to treat us, a thunderbolt struck down and killed Master Jia alive..."
"I was struck to death by lightning... I don't remember Jia Shifang making such a big mistake." After Wu Mian replied slowly, he continued to say to Ruyue: "I remember that you are also a cultivator, right?"
Riyue understood what Wu Mian was saying, and nodded embarrassedly, the former prefect said again: "If you don't ask me, I have to say, when Master Jia returned to the old mansion in Nanjing, I can already see that something is wrong. He was very worried at the time, and after he came back, he set up a formation outside the bedroom. It looks like he is hiding from someone..."
When she said this, Ruyue took out a piece of paper with a diagram drawn from her arms, and after handing it to Wu Mian, she continued: "This is the formation that Master Jia set up, I have no knowledge and can't identify it. out..."
"This is an alchemist's shocking formation, let alone you. Some junior alchemists may not recognize this formation." Gui Bugui came over and glanced at the formation in the woman's hand. After that, he took the paper for Wu Mian. After looking at it again, it was handed over to the white-haired man.
"Jing Zhe is generally in the alchemist school. Except for the Dafang master, only the successor disciple can teach it. It seems that Guangren really put a lot of thought into Jia Shifang..." Gui Bugui said a sentence After that, he looked back at Wu Mian, who was expressionless. Then he restrained the smile on his face a bit and said, "However, if you dare to kill the Shao family's son-in-law with lightning in Nanjing, it will be a bit of a shame. This kind of signs must be eliminated, or else you will get it in the future? Dare today Thunder splits the Shao family's son-in-law, and dares to be detrimental to the Shao family's women tomorrow..."
At this time, 'Xu Fu' came over, stood behind Wu Mian and glanced at the array map in the hands of the white-haired man. Then the great master said: "This Jingzhe has been changed. The previous doubts should be false, but it turned out to be true. The actual formation in the middle was deliberately false..."
"Is there such a thing?" Gui Bu Gui took the array diagram from Wu Mian again. After reading it carefully, he frowned and said, "It's really changed... If it wasn't for Master Dafang, you would have almost slipped past. Mrs. He, did you draw this wrong? "
"I drew something like a pattern, so I can't draw it wrong." Ruyue immediately blushed and continued to face Guibugui, "My technique is not as good as you guys, but It’s impossible to draw something wrong. After the death of Master Jia, I went back to the old house to read it several times. I can still distinguish the real from the real…”
"It is impossible to copy the array diagram wrong, that is, Jia Shifang deliberately changed the array method..." At this time, Wu Mian opened his mouth. After a pause, the white-haired man turned his attention to Gui Bugui and 'Xu Fu' beside him. After a weird smile, he continued: "Guess what, who did he change this formation to guard against?"
"Didn't the old guy just say that this formation is only available to the great master and the top disciple? He changed the formation to prevent Guangren and the volcano?" Only then did he understand Jia Shifang's intention to change the formation. The moment Er Lengzi widened his eyes and took a deep breath, he continued to Wu Mian: "Little uncle, it was Guangren and Huohua who killed your grandson-in-law? Didn't I say, isn't this rubbing fire? Forget the two of them, Guangren and Huohua dare to provoke us. This bubbling dysentery is in the neck, and it runs down the back of the spine. I can't stand it anymore..."
"Whether the two of them did it, no one has seen it with their own eyes." After 'Xu Fu' smiled slightly, he continued to say to Wu Mian and Gui Bugui: "It seems that I won't go there in person. It won't fix it. But make it clear in advance, this is not what I'm going for... If something happens again, you can't talk about me anymore."
"It depends on what's going on." Gui Bugui smiled and continued: "But Master Dafang, didn't you come to talk to Wu Mian and Guangren? It looks like I'm going to trouble you again... "
The death of Jia Shifang involved two great masters, Guangren and Huohua. At the moment of returning or not, Sishui arranged the itinerary to Nanjing. Early the next morning, the convoy of Sishui headed for Nanjing in a mighty manner.
Over the years, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui have traveled between Beijing and Nanjing many times. Several of them are almost familiar with this road. After more than ten days of day and night, the team finally returned to Nanjing. After returning, the group went directly to Shao's house.
At this time, Shao's family has been hung up on filial piety. Jia Shifang's daughter and son-in-law hurried out to greet them. After welcoming them to the hall, they went straight to the subject and asked the couple how Jia Shifang died on his wife's grave.
The couple's statement is the same as Ruyue's, and when Jia Shifang came back, he already felt that something was wrong. He missed his deceased wife and became ill and began to be dazed. After returning to the old house, he either stared at the air in a daze, or was paranoid as if he was worried that his wife's soul would be bad for him.
The rest is the same as what Ruyue said, how Jia Shifang hit the tombstone with his head, and how he was struck to death by lightning. Because people are dead, they cannot be buried normally. According to Nanjing's rules, the dead are put into coffins and left in the ancestral hall for a month. And then hurriedly buried in the dark.
Jia Shifang has been dead for more than 20 days, although it is only in the early spring. However, the temperature in the south can no longer survive the dead. At this time, the corpse may have rotted into a pool of meat sauce...
After listening to Jia Shifang's son-in-law's remarks, Gui Bugui nodded and said: "Since we know about this, we must go to express our condolences. You Shao family and we are considered to be friends from life. I want to send Shifang this child on his last journey."
The Shao family woman and son-in-law glanced at each other when they heard the words of returning home. Then the son-in-law said: "Old man, you came to express condolences to my old Taishan. Our couple is grateful. But to tell you the truth, the ancestral hall could no longer be accommodated a few days ago. It smells like carrion and corpses. I don't know what it looks like in the coffin. It's full of corpse water, and there is no place to stand. After our husband and wife plan to bury the old Taishan, we will tear down the ancestral hall and rebuild it. If you want to worship, It's not too late to wait until after the burial."
"That's nothing, the relationship between us and your husband is there. Do you still care about the taste?" After Gui Bugui finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Mian and 'Xu Fu' beside him, and saw them The two didn't speak, and the old guy continued: "We won't be able to stay in Nanjing for a few days. After sending your father away, we may not be able to catch up with his burial. It's better to take a look at it as soon as possible..."
Here, the Shao family can't say anything else. At the moment, Ruyue asked them to take them to the Shao Family Ancestral Hall. According to the local rules, the two of them could not see their dead relatives before they were buried. These days, the Shao family and his wife have not visited the ancestral hall.
The Shao family's ancestral hall is different from other large families. Their family's ancestral hall is placed in a geomantic place outside the city. There are several male servants here all year round. Because there are differences between men and women, almost none of the servants here have ever entered the Shao family.
After Ruyue said a few words to these people, one of the servants in front frowned. He found a gauze fumigated with sulfur to cover his mouth and nose, and then sprayed the body with white wine, and then brought these people into the ancestral hall. I saw a thin-skinned coffin parked in the ancestral hall.
