is personal blessings Would he kill his own disciple Even if you fall, he would send someone to save you.” Jiang Qiyun said dismissively.Yes, yes, yes… it's this capricious and proud look that makes h...I think Changning is not a bad person, his eyes have always been very honest.

That man in black was his brother, named Chang'an.

Xie Changning and Xie Changan were the last two male descendants of the Xie family.

"Your names are quite old-fashioned... You look very young..." I stared at him in confusion.

Chang Ning chuckled wryly. "I've been plagued by this poison for many years, probably... forty"

Well, wouldn't that make you a man in his sixties or seventies

"The world can't find me. I'm a person who has been missing for many years and declared dead. Xie Chang'an put a curse on me, leaving me half-dead and hiding with these two things."

“Recently, because of what happened at your family's engagement party, he suddenly thought of this thing and gave it to your family to handle, so that the Xie family wouldn't have to bear this big trouble anymore. He ordered me to bring this thing over... I can't use regular transportation, Xie Chang’an hired a black car for a high price, and I changed cars over ten times along the way before arriving in this city to find you.”

I frowned. "Why could Xie Chang'an conjure up a spell Is his cultivation so profound"

Chang Ning shook his head. "I don't know, he's not normal anymore. He seems to have merged with some kind of demon to survive... In any case, he can hide, but he doesn't want to provoke these two little demons."

I understand that. The ancient saying goes, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise," and this applies to ghosts as well.

Women are emotional creatures. Even when they become ghosts, they are easily swayed by emotions, get stuck on trivial matters and take extremes; while children mostly lack the concept of right and wrong. Becoming a ghost doesn't change this, making them even more straightforward. They may not realize they are harming others, but rather see it as a game, only following their instincts.

Therefore, most Taoist priests are afraid of provoking female ghosts and minor spirits.

Jiang Qiyun was certainly not afraid. In his eyes, even powerful ghosts were just a little more trouble. However, things were different when it came to demons.

These two little demons have lived for a long time. Perhaps after their death, they were blessed by a special evil spell, so they became vengeful spirits. They have committed countless evils over the years and fallen into the demonic way, wreaking havoc on the world for many years, hiding in the realm of different magical doors. Jiang Qiyun said softly.

I looked up at him and asked, “Then what do we do Break the demon, or collect its soul”

This is a "three-no" identity, neither human, nor ghost, nor demon. How should it be handled

Jiang Qiyun raised an eyebrow, a faint smile curving his lips. "If I didn't provoke you, it would have nothing to do with this seat. How to deal with it depends on my mood, but since I provoked you... what else can be done"

From Changning's words, we roughly understood the relationship between the Xie family and the Mu family.

My ancestor Xie was a colleague of my great-grandfather, and he was also a hero in the green forest. He had a close relationship with my great-grandfather.

Later I learned that my grandfather was a skilled sand digger and insisted on following him to get rich. Our two families did make some big profits together.

...a pair of human bone cups was unearthed from an unknown barren grave.

...

At that time, the human bone goblet was inlaid with jewels and gemstones. During times of great upheaval, only gold and jade were hard currency. Therefore, when dividing the spoils, the eldest son of the Xie family wanted to keep it all for himself.

My grandpa was too shrewd, knowing this thing was ominous, just like my dad's reaction, he immediately pushed it out.

Those who don't understand value look only at gold, silver and jewels. After the head of the Xie family got this pair of human bone cups, he pried off a few small gemstones to make pendants and gave them to his several wives.

Later on, one after another, the concubines all went insane and died violently, some even becoming aggressive. One of them even killed her own child. At the time, everyone thought it was retribution for the head of the household digging up graves.

But times were tough, and it wasn't easy to support the people under him. The head of the Xie family relied on sand dredging for a living, but after my grandfather forcefully married my grandmother, he completely tucked away his fangs and claws, becoming a model husband (on the surface).

Unable to do anything else, the head of the Xie family could only fight alone. Members of the Xie family and his subordinates were killed and injured one after another.

My grandfather, out of our long friendship, reminded me: "Some evil things shouldn't be kept, they'll harm both yourself and others."

The head of the Xie family came to his senses and went back to get the skull cup, placing it firmly on top of my grandfather's head. He insisted that my grandfather was unrighteous and wanted to kill the Xie family.

It's pointless to reason with someone like this, and besides, my grandmother was pregnant at the time. If the head of the Xie family keeps making a fuss, it will frighten her.

My grandfather said that in this line of work, life and death are decided by fate, and wealth and honor depend on the heavens. At that time, you grabbed this man's bone cup, complaining to the heavens, earth, and people was useless; you could only blame yourself for being greedy. However, seeing your bond of life and death, he agreed to help the Xie family when they needed it.

This is just the old geezer's delaying tactic. He knows this won't solve anything, so he pretends his cultivation isn't enough and needs to find another master to ask for advice.

The head of the Xie family angrily said: By the time you figure out a solution, my entire Xie family will be dead.

My grandfather swore an oath: If "that day" ever came, I would absolutely do my duty.

Grandfather clearly made a clever remark. The head of the Xie family couldn't outsmart my grandfather, who is very cunning. So both sides burned incense as a vow.

After that, the head of the Xie family died unexpectedly not long after. The Xie family's descendants still needed my grandfather's generosity to make ends meet and dared not cause trouble.

Later, the world was renewed with fresh energy. My grandfather retreated from the world and returned to seclusion. Fewer and fewer people knew about this event, and only a broken oath remained among the descendants: "Before the Xie family dies out, this thing must be passed on to the Mu family."

Every family has one or two people who are exceptionally gifted or unscrupulous. Xie Chang'an, wearing a human skin mask, is just such a person.

To survive, he did not hesitate to combine with demons and cultivate. He even poisoned his own brother Xie Changning, causing him to suffer a life worse than death for forty years.

That's about the gist of the old story. For specific details, I guess you'd have to ask Grandpa, who is still around and was involved in it all.

I looked at the skull-shaped goblet on the ground and awkwardly said to Jiang Qiyun, "What should we do Leaving this here is definitely not an option. This is our school's back mountain, with so many people in the campus area. If such a dangerous thing appears, the consequences would be unimaginable."

But I don't want to take this dangerous thing home either, it wouldn't be right even in the underworld. This is a magical method from another realm, if it were used, what would happen if demons and monsters came to the underworld

That's really a hot potato.

Stay here and set up a barrier But this place has already been opened by Xie Changning. What if he appears again and breaks the barrier

Jiang Qiyun also felt that this thing was a hassle, and sighed: “Put it in a peachwood box, the box is kept here... I'll go ask Taichi Shen first, then deal with it.”

This method was the most secure, but I never expected it—Yu Nan, this little ancestor, actually caused trouble!something, he suddenly moved like a phantom, leaping down the cliff.At the same time, a surge of indigo energy shot into the sky. Jiang Qiyun drew his sword and slashed, severing the energy."Idiot..."...
