Chapter 121: Ceremonies first, then soldiers.
Near noon, more than a dozen monks from the Celestial Being Sect arrived in Qingzhou City.
Also arriving with them was the newly arrived magistrate Wang An.
To be precise, they actually came to Qingzhou City in advance to escort Wang An.
Coupled with the murder of Wan Yinchang, their elders were very angry.
Ordered to thoroughly investigate the matter and eradicate the forces of the Tianxia Alliance in Qingzhou City.
At the same time, take over and control Wanjia's property as soon as possible to avoid falling into the hands of others.
Of course, their ultimate goal is to take complete control of Qingzhou City, build a Taoist temple here, and accelerate the implementation of their plan.
The leader of these dozen or so cultivators from the Celestial Being Sect is named Jiang Siren, who is the chief disciple of the great elder of the Celestial Being Sect.
He is also a monk in the late stage of foundation building and is very powerful.
You know, generally speaking, monks in the early stage of foundation building are about the same strength as sixth-grade warriors.
In the middle stage of foundation building, his strength is equivalent to that of a fifth-grade warrior.
The strength of monks in the later stages of foundation building is comparable to that of fourth-grade warriors.
Even with various magic weapons, the strength is still far above the fourth level.
After escorting Wang An to the county government, Jiang Siren left several junior brothers behind to protect Wang An.
And he took the rest of the people to the Wan Family Mansion.
Nowadays, the mansion is in a state of misery and depression.
Many houses have been reduced to ruins, and the few remaining houses are covered with white silk and black cloth.
There was also a mourning hall set up in the yard, and Wan Yinchang's two wives and concubines and several servants were keeping vigil.
The rest of the concubines and servants had already fled the Wan family.
After all, they were forcibly married in the first place, and now they naturally took advantage of the chaos and escaped with their finances.
"Ren Sheng, next you will be responsible for taking over the Wan family's property. After all, you are also a descendant of the Wan family. From now on, you can take care of the Wan family's property in place of Brother You. As for your brother's hatred, we will naturally I will repay it for him!" Jiang Siren said to a young man beside him.
This young man's appearance is somewhat similar to Wan Yinchang, but he looks much younger than him.
In fact, he is already in his thirties.
But because of his spiritual practice, his appearance is much younger than that of ordinary people, and he looks like he is in his twenties.
This person is Wan Yinchang's younger brother, Wan Yinsheng.
In fact, except for Wan Yinchang and his wife Sun Shi, there are many people in this world.
Few people know that Wan Yinchang has a younger brother.
He didn't even know that his younger brother was a monk of the Celestial Being Sect.
Not long after Wan Yinsheng was born, the Wan family suffered a disaster.
The fortune teller said that he was in conflict with the Wan family.
It may bring disaster to thousands of families.
So his father fostered him to live with relatives.
As a result, when Wan Yinsheng was ten years old, all the relatives in the family he was fostering died violently. That year, the Wan family was once again in trouble.
Later, the fortune teller said that only by sending Wan Yinsheng to a Taoist temple to become a monk and completely disconnected from the Wan family could he help the Wan family avoid disaster.
So when he was ten years old, Wan Yinsheng was sent to Tianren Sect to become a monk and practice Buddhism, and changed his name to Rensheng.
After that, Wanjia really got better.
In order to make up for their debt to their son, the Wan family sent incense money to Tianrenjiao, hoping that they could take good care of and train Wan Yinsheng.
In this way, over time, the Wan family developed a close relationship with the Tianren Sect.
"Well, don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely revive the Wan family and help my teacher control Qingzhou City!" Wan Yinsheng said in a deep voice, with a cold look in his eyes.
Although he didn't have much affection for the Wan family, nor did he feel sad or sad because of Wan Yinchang's death.
But in his heart, he always believed that he belonged to the Wan family, and he should have a share of the Wan family's foundation.
Now that he is back, he wants to take over everything in the Wan family and take back everything that originally belonged to him.
...
After Wan Yinsheng paid homage to Wan Yinchang in front of the mourning hall, he called Wan Yinchang's wives and concubines into the room.
Learn more about what happened that night.
When they heard that the killer was seen fighting with a woman in red, Wan Yinsheng and Jiang Siren were a little surprised.
After Wan Yinsheng asked carefully, Wan Yinchang's wife told the truth.
"I later guessed that it should be the Immortal who controls the house that the master enshrines. Originally, only the master and I knew about this." "
The Immortal who controls the house?" Wan Yinsheng was a little surprised.
"What kind of immortal is he just a monster?" Jiang Siren said from the side.
But seeing the surprised expressions on Wan Yinchang's wife and concubines, she explained: "In order to prevent some evil spirits and evil spirits, many wealthy families will enshrine some so-called house-controlling immortals in their mansions to ward off evil spirits and avoid evil. In fact, they are just some of them. Taoist fairies. They all have certain magical powers and can deal with some imps and evil spirits. They can also intimidate weaker monks. However,
this kind of worship is dangerous. They are monsters after all. Although they are intelligent, But he is inhumane, moody, bloodthirsty and prone to killing, so there are often so-called house-holding immortals who become the scourge of annihilating families." "
Then will it be the same this time..." Wan Yinchang's wife looked surprised. said.
"That's not the case. This assassination was obviously a purposeful one. If it were really a monster causing trouble, I'm afraid you wouldn't be alive now!" Jiang Siren said.
Wan Yinchang's wife and concubines nodded.
"Take me to see the place where you worship monsters." Jiang Siren said again.
"Okay!"
Wan Yinchang's wife brought Jiang Siren, Wan Yinsheng and other Heavenly Man Sect monks to a courtyard behind the Wanjia Ancestral Hall.
Usually only Wan Yinchang comes here, and others are not allowed to get close.
"It's right here!" Wan Yinchang's wife didn't dare to go in. After all, she was a little scared after hearing Jiang Siren's words.
Jiang Siren nodded, and immediately led Wan Yinsheng and other junior brothers into the courtyard.
Then I saw a shrine in that house.
"It's actually a fox demon!" Jiang Siren noticed the aura of the fox demon here.
But it was obvious that the fox demon had already left.
He took out a talisman and placed it on the shrine. He pinched the spell with his hand and punched out a spell on the talisman.
The talisman suddenly glowed with green light, and finally turned into countless threads and penetrated into the shrine, extracting wisps of the fox demon's aura from it. Finally, it flew back to Jiang Siren's hands.
He handed the talisman and a compass to a monk behind him and said, "You guys, search for this fox demon. It is estimated that she is still hiding in this city. Let me know when you find it." "Yes, senior brother!
"
…
That afternoon, Wan Yinsheng began to take over Wanjia's properties one after another, and the news quickly spread in the city.
It caused quite a commotion for a while.
Only then did everyone realize that Wan Yinchang actually had a younger brother, and he was also a disciple of the Celestial Being Sect.
But after thinking about it carefully, I seem to understand why Wan Yinchang became a minion of the Celestial Being Sect and why he was able to run rampant in Qingzhou City.
This news naturally reached Wei Yi's ears immediately.
In fact, Wan Yinsheng had just arrived in Qingzhou City not long ago.
Miaoyinfang arranged for someone to come and deliver a letter to Wei Yi, inviting him to participate in the boat tour on the lake in the evening.
At the same time, Wei Yi was told the news about Wan Yinsheng and Wang An of Xinzhi County.
Wei Yi was naturally a little surprised to hear that Wan Yinchang had a younger brother, but he didn't pay too much attention.
Even if Wan Yinchang has a younger brother, there is no way he can become the second Wan Yinchang.
His role is at most to help the Tianren Sect, temporarily hold some of the Wanjia's existing money, and then squeeze out the final residual value.
But wanting to replace Wan Yinchang and control the business in Qingzhou City can only be said to be a fantasy.
The so-called strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
Wan Yinchang is an absolute local snake, but Wan Yinsheng is not, and he cannot become a local snake.
This is also the reason why Tianren Church attaches great importance to Wan Yinchang.
Therefore, in Wei Yi's opinion, if the Tianren Sect wants to control Qingzhou City, they will definitely look for a new local snake to assist them.
"Sir, the monks from the Celestial Being Sect would like to see you!"
Wei Yi, who was painting in the study, heard the servant's announcement.
But he didn't respond immediately, but continued to draw.
He had expected that people from the Celestial Being Sect would come looking for him.
After all, with his current reputation and prestige in the city, he is definitely their best candidate besides Wan Yinchang.
Although he is the main suspect in getting rid of Wan Yinchang.
But to the Tianren Sect, Wan Yinchang is just a pawn.
If there were better chess pieces that could be replaced, they would naturally not care who killed Wan Yinchang.
Wei Yi continued to paint for a long time, and the servant waited aside very wisely without saying much.
"Okay, the painting is finished!" Wei Yi put down the brush and looked at his painting with satisfaction.
In the painting is a woman playing the guzheng, which is the red rose of Miaoyinfang.
Tonight Wei Yi was going to take a boat trip to the lake, so naturally he couldn't go there empty-handed, so he took his place and drew a portrait.
"By the way, you just said that people from the Celestial Being Sect want to see me?" Wei Yi then looked at the servant next to him.
"Yes, sir, they are waiting outside the courtyard." The servant said.
"Invite them to the hall!" Wei Yi said casually.
Outside the courtyard gate, Jiang Siren and the two Celestial Cult monks waited for a long time, but no servant came to invite them in. They were already quite unhappy.
"What does Wei Yi mean? He deliberately left us here to demonstrate with us?"
"Senior brother, it seems we need to teach him how to behave." Two Celestial Being monks said with dissatisfaction.
Although Jiang Siren said nothing, his expression was quite cold.
He had decided that if Wei Yi didn't ask someone to invite them in, he would just force his way in.
Since he doesn't have to drink wine as a penalty for toasting, he doesn't mind giving Wei Yi some color.
But just when Jiang Siren was about to kick open the courtyard door, the door suddenly opened.
The servant who reported the news said: "You guys have been waiting for a long time, please come in!"
Jiang Siren followed the servant into the Wei family residence with a gloomy face.
Finally came to the hall and took a seat.
"The Taoist priests are far away from us!" Wei Yi said with a half-smile, cupping his fists.
The so-called etiquette first, then attack.
Although in his eyes, these people will become his enemies sooner or later.
Even soon, he will send them to reunite with Wan Yinchang.
But in broad daylight, "humanitarianism" still needs to be practiced.
"It seems that Mr. Wei is very busy. I have to wait longer to see you than to meet the prefect!" Jiang Siren also cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"I'm really sorry. I don't understand the rules. I saw that I was sleeping and didn't dare to wake me up. Alas, I was a little indulgent in Hong Xiuzhao last night. I was just catching up on my sleep, and I have a very serious problem with getting up. No one dares to call me." Wei Yi said with a smile.
The so-called talking about people when seeing people, and talking about ghosts when seeing ghosts, it is up to him to decide whether he is a ghost or not.
"Does the young master still have the energy to get up now?" Jiang Siren asked.
"Haha, the Taoist priest was joking. Seeing the pig bits... I naturally feel much better!" Wei Yi smiled heartily.
I just like to make you unhappy and you can't do anything about me.
After hearing Wei Yi's words, Jiang Siren naturally couldn't say anything else.
What's more, he also came to win over Wei Yi, so he just swallowed his breath.
Quan should be making contributions to his own sect.
"Pig Taoist Priest, please take a seat, come and serve tea!" Wei Yi said loudly.
