Chapter 1682 Ji Man's Painstaking Efforts

"Yes, it all depends on the master's arrangement!" Everyone bowed. Yun Mengzi didn't waste any time. He waved his hand and a rainbow covered the four of them. A rainbow flashed out from under Yun Mengzi's feet, and several people quickly rushed into the sky and disappeared.

As for what Jiang Feiyan said about sending a message to the Xiguo sect, hoping that each would send out disciples to fight against the sword cultivator and rescue Li Zongbao and others from the sword cultivator's obstruction, the four of them had forgotten about it. After all, the safety of the four of them was in danger. Compared to Xantian City... it is too small!

Xiao Hua naturally didn't know this. He was still sitting cross-legged in the quiet room. It was already dozens of days after he started recording the art of making clouds and rain. Without anyone's guidance, Xiao Hua Finally, these thirty-six green seal characters were recorded in the joints one by one according to the soul technique that Zi Ming gave to him! Although Xiao Hua is very tired, he will also consume a lot of mental energy! But the harvest was extremely rich. Xiao Hua not only had a deeper understanding of the Green Script at this time, but the flexibility and freedom of the soul thread were much better than before. Xiao Hua was even sure that as long as he counted the numbers for himself, In ten days, he waited to fully understand the green seal script given to him by the old man Wu, word by word.

However, Xiao Hua had just put away his joints and rested for a few days when a guard called outside again.

Without thinking, Xiao Hua immediately removed the Dutian Star Array and walked out of the quiet room. He knew that today must be a good day for Ziming to light the soul lantern. He could not delay this lantern lighting ceremony.

Sure enough, when the dark-skinned guard saw Xiao Hua coming out, he immediately bowed and saluted. He was also fluent in the language of the Three Kingdoms and said respectfully: "Master Xiao, tonight is the lantern lighting ceremony for Miss Ming of Tuzhai, my queen. I have come to invite you on the order of the old wizard."

"Okay!" Xiao Hua nodded, looking at the sky outside it was dusk, presumably Ziming's lantern lighting ceremony was held at midnight again.

"This way please!" The guard bowed and stretched out his hand, asking Xiao Hua to walk in one direction.

"You lead the way!" Xiao Hua looked at the somewhat dark corridor and asked again, "Where are Xiao's other senior brothers? Shall I go there together?"

"Young Master!" The guard followed Xiao Hua's instructions and walked to the front, bowed a little, and turned around. "Young Master Li, Young Master Xiao and others have already arrived. In order to show respect to all distinguished guests, the shaman asked me to wait and invite them one by one! Young Master, I am the first to come here, but because Young Master is in seclusion, I have to wait. After a while, other guards must have invited Mr. Li and others to go! "

"Hmm~" Xiao Hua nodded casually, following the guard as he walked among the layers of shadows within this thin curtain. The twilight gradually became heavier, covering the many palaces in Houtu Village, creating a long-lasting heaviness. Walking in this heaviness made Xiao Hua feel slightly overwhelmed.

As he was walking, an old maid suddenly appeared from beside a palace door. He stood in front of the guard. The guard was obviously stunned.

Then she bowed, and before he could speak, the maid raised her voice and said: "Mr. Xiao Hua, my Ji Man has something to ask about. Mr. Xiao, please come with me!"

"Oh?" Xiao Hua raised his eyebrows, looked up and down at the maid and said coldly. "Is it Ji Manda in Houtu Village? Or is it Boss Wu?"

"Of course it belongs to Boss Wu!" The maid looked a little angry, "Even if Boss Wu is more noble than my Ji Man, you can't disobey Ji Man's order!"

"Joke!" Xiao Hua didn't want to see Ji Man at this time, so he waved his hand and said, "Xiao was ordered by the old wizard to go to the Lantern Burning Ceremony. If Ji Man wants to see Xiao, he should go to the Lantern Burning Ceremony!"

"Presumptuous!" The maidservant was furious, as if she had never seen someone like Xiao Hua who didn't take Ji Man seriously.

"Master Xiao..." At this time, a faint voice came from the palace behind the maid.

"I've seen Ji Man!" The guard hurriedly bowed and saluted, with a trace of embarrassment on his face, just like Ji Man's majestic and irrefutable tone.

"I've met Ji Man!" Xiao Hua also bowed and said, "Forgive me for being rude, it should be Ziming's lantern lighting ceremony at this time. Lord Ji Man and this junior should both appear at the ceremony on time. Even Ji Man I don’t want to go, but I can’t delay!”

"The lantern-burning ceremony is the most important ceremony in our village, and it has not happened for many years! How could I delay such an occasion as Ji Man? In fact, if I were not here, this lantern-lighting ceremony...hehe... ..." Ji Man changed the topic halfway through, "However, it is still early for the Lantern Festival. Just like you are following Midnight to the Eye of the Netherworld, can you kill Elder Jilan during this period of time? Rescue and find the Netherworld Bamboo...can't I ask you a few words?"

Hearing Ji Man mention the Eye of the Netherworld, it seemed to be a threat. Thinking about Zi Ming and the nearby Lantern Festival, Xiao Hua nodded and said with a smile: "Since Ji Man will go there with the juniors soon, Grand ceremony, the junior also hopes to follow the teachings of the senior. "

"Well, come in!" Ji Man's voice was light, "You two wait here and stay here."

"Yes!" The maid gave Xiao Hua a fierce look, and the guard said helplessly standing beside the palace door.

Xiao Hua walked into the main hall, and saw Ji Man standing in the hall. At this time, Ji Man was dressed in costumes, with several layers of decorations like corollas on his head, and white bones as big as thumbs on his neck. It looked very cumbersome, with layers of weird patterns and a lot of tassels all over it. Xiao Hua took one look at it and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Mr. Xiao..." Ji Man didn't care about Xiao Hua's gaze, and asked directly, "Which great Confucian are you the descendant of?"

"Great Confucian?" Xiao Hua was stunned, and said inexplicably, "What is a great Confucian? I don't understand?"

Ji Man frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Mr. Xiao, since you are familiar with Ziming, you must have heard her say that I admire Confucianism very much. This Wuzhai also has the mantle of Confucianism. Since your middle dantian has some changes, and you also asked me for the inheritance of Confucianism, aren't you the descendant of Confucianism?"

Xiao Hua suddenly realized. Although he knew that before he asked Wu Lao to explore the restriction of the middle dantian, Ji Man had already left the ancestral temple, but he also believed that even if Ji Man would not learn the secret of the seal of his middle dantian from Wu Lao, she would know that he asked Wu Lao for help because of the matter of the middle dantian.

From these two aspects, it is normal for Ji Man to infer that he is a Confucianist.

However, Xiao Hua naturally denied it: "Ji Man misunderstood! I was curious about Confucianism, and I saw a descendant of Confucianism in Jingbo City of Xi Country in my early years. Especially when I heard that Ji Man had the inheritance of Confucianism, I asked for it. As for me... I am a real descendant of Taoism!"

"Jingbo City of Xi Country?" Ji Man frowned, "Which great Confucian descendant is that?"

"Hehe, Master Ji Man, this is a secret of me, it is not convenient to tell you!" Xiao Hua refused.

"Alas, Master Xiao!" Ji Man sighed, "Are you still so defensive against me?"

"What did you say, senior!" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "You are the most powerful person in Hou Tu Village, second only to one person and above ten thousand people. I am just a passer-by in Hou Tu Village, and I have nothing to do with you, senior, so there is no need to be defensive!"

"Alas, Xiao Hua!" Ji Man was not satisfied with Xiao Hua's explanation, and sighed again, "I know that this time, I am at fault. I almost sent you and Ziming and others into the arms of Hou Tu God! But you should also put yourself in my shoes! Liu'er is my legitimate son, and he is the candidate for the Wu Lao of Hou Tu Village. How can I not be anxious about his death? When I competed with Ziming's mother for Ji Man, there was some gap between me and Ziming's mother. However, Ziming's mother was one step ahead and was chosen by Wu Lao, and I Lost! I don't need to elaborate on what Ji Man did to me that day! In your Daoist words, the dead are the greatest. Even if I tell you, you won't believe it! "

"Later, Ziming's mother returned to the arms of the great god Hou Tu. Ziming was too young to succeed Ji Man, so I took over the position of Ji Man again! But at that time, the Soul-Falling Lamp had been given to Ziming by Wu Lao. Although Liu'er was qualified to be Wu Lao, this qualification fell behind Ziming and Ziye! Liu'er was very sensible at the time. Under my persuasion, he did not take the position of Wu Lao seriously! But what about Ziming? She regarded Ji Man's position as her own and Liu'er as her enemy. Even when Ziye returned to the arms of the great god Hou Tu, she did not report the matter and still let Ziyan rank behind Ziye who no longer existed! "

"I knew about this a long time ago, But I didn't point it out, and I even tried my best to cover it up for her! I know what she wants in her heart, she wants to take back the position of Ji Man that belongs to her mother! In fact, although I covet this Ji Manwai, I also want it for my Hou Tu Village. If Ziming was not too young to take charge of Ji Manwai, I would definitely reject Wu Lao! I have been tolerant again and again, but I didn't expect that Ziming would repay me with evil. Xiao Hua, if it were you, you heard that your loved ones were killed by others, and this ending is what you have always been worried about, how would you react? "

Faced with Ji Man's questioning and expression, Xiao Hua was silent. Ji Man was really crazy that day and almost took the lives of Xiao Hua and others! But after listening to what Ji Man said today, Xiao Hua also clearly experienced the hardships of this mother and Ji Man of a village.

"Yes, I did scold Ziming's mother, but Ziming's mother scolded me a hundred times more viciously in her early years!" Seeing that Xiao Hua did not answer, Ji Man continued, "And I want to kill all of you! But that's because I don't know the specific reason, I thought you were the culprit who killed my Liu'er! Xiao Hua, think about it, even at that time, Ziming didn't take out the soul bead, she...she actually doubted me to that extent! My heart...is hurting now!" (To be continued.
