Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation, I became a role model of righteousness

Chapter 146 The Fu Family

"Sister, what are we looking for here?"

"I don't know either." Jiang Li said without turning his head.

Meng Jue: ...

The two men entered the house and used magic to make everyone in the mayor's family fall into a deep sleep.

Although they didn't have to worry about being discovered, the two still didn't cancel their invisibility.

Entering the study of the mayor's house, Meng Jue casually scanned it with his spiritual sense, but found nothing. He was about to leave, but Jiang Li said in no uncertain terms that there was a secret room here.

"How do you know there is a secret room here?" This secret room could actually escape his spiritual detection, which showed that it was not set up by a mortal.

Why couldn’t he find out, but his senior sister could?
Meng Jue was very confused.

"The spacing of this wall is wrong." Jiang Li gently stroked the wall with her jade hands.

Do you really think her sharp eyes are fake? Her observation skills are really excellent.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to find it. After all, this flaw is actually very inconspicuous.

This room was obviously designed at great expense. Since it was intended to be a secret room, how could it be easily discovered?

The cultivators rely too much on their spiritual sense, and when their spiritual sense cannot detect anything unusual, they will subconsciously think that there is nothing wrong here.

Only Jiang Li, relying on the skills provided by the system, could discover such a subtle flaw.

She knocked on the wall a few times, then looked at the vase next to her and turned it to the left, but found that it wouldn't turn. Instead of being disappointed, she was happy.

Sure enough, this vase is the switch to open the secret room.

All these years of watching TV dramas have not been in vain (￣ˇ￣).

When I turned the vase in a different direction, the wall opened in the middle, revealing an entrance that only one person could pass through.

"Let's go." Jiang Li was the first to enter the secret room.

Meng Jue followed closely behind.

The secret room is not big, only about ten square meters in size.

There were only two chairs and an altar table with tablets in this secret room.

There was a line of words written on the tablet: The spirit tablet of my brother Li Zuhui.

Li Zuhui... Li Zuyao, it seems that the owner of this tablet is most likely the mayor's brother.

There were still burnt incense sticks in the incense burner in front of the tablet, and a lot of incense ash accumulated in the burner.

It seems that someone has been worshipping this tablet for a long time.

"Strange! It's just a tablet, why do we need to build a secret room to worship it?" Meng Jue noticed something strange.

"There is only one possibility. The mayor doesn't want people to know that he is worshipping this person's tablet." Jiang Li looked around.

This secret room is so small that you can see the end at a glance.

There is a set of formation flags planted around the secret room. The reason why my spiritual sense failed to discover this place before was probably because of this set of flags.

"It seems to be empty down there!" Meng Jue accidentally walked to a corner of the secret room and found something strange under his feet.

When I stepped on it, there was something wrong with the sound.

"There is a secret room here!" Jiang Li was a little surprised that there was another secret room inside the secret room.

But this discovery is quite surprising.

The two found the mechanism and opened the door of the secret room.

When the door opened, a hole was revealed.

As the cave opened, dim candlelight shone through the entrance.

"Uncle Li, is that you?" A cautious voice came from the secret room.

The two exchanged glances, then walked down the stairs one after the other into the secret room below.

"Who are you? Were you sent by the Zhao family?"

"We have already hidden here, why won't you let us go!" The family of three were so scared when they saw two strangers coming that they hugged each other.

A young man protected a middle-aged man and woman behind him, glaring at Jiang Li and the other man with resentment.

"Are you Furong's family?" Jiang Li asked.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer. You've already found your way here, yet you're still asking who we are." The speaker was Furong's brother, Fuan.

Fu'an is a scholar. She wears a square scarf on her head and a long gown, but she looks strong, unlike most scholars who look frail.

The people protected by Fuan were Furong's parents.

"The Zhao family has been wiped out, so how could anyone come to look for you?" Jiang Li said.

"What! The Zhao family was wiped out!"

"This...this is impossible!"

"Who has the ability to destroy the Zhao family? The boy from the Zhao family is the disciple of an immortal!"

The Fu family reacted greatly, apparently it was the first time they heard the news.

"You don't know?" Meng Jue was a little surprised.

This family actually didn't know that the Zhao family had been wiped out.

Jiang Li: "Not only the Zhao family, but also the Qian family and the Sun family were wiped out. It was widely rumored that Furong turned into a ghost and did it."

"Furong did it? This... How is this possible!?"

"Why? Why didn't Uncle Li tell our family about this?"

The Fu couple were in a state of panic, saying it was impossible.

"Who are you? What's your purpose in coming here to tell us this?" Fuan looked at Jiang Li and the others with vigilance and suspicion in her eyes.

“I forgot to introduce ourselves. We are from the Wanfa Sect. We came to Xiaofu Town specifically to investigate the murder case of the Zhao, Qian and Sun families.

The mayor sent a message to our Wanfa Sect, suspecting that there was a ghost in Xiaofu Town, and we received the mission and came to investigate the matter."

"You are immortals from the Wanfa Sect!" The Fu couple were shocked.

"Do you have any evidence to prove your identity?" Fuan, on the other hand, did not completely believe them and her eyes were still alert.

The two of them removed the disguise spells on their bodies and returned to their original appearance.

"Greetings to the two immortals!"

"It was our family that was rude just now. Please forgive me, Immortal!" After seeing what they had done, the family of three no longer dared to doubt their identities and knelt down in a hurry.

Meng Jue raised his hand slightly to stop the Fu family from kneeling.

Seeing that they couldn't kneel down, the family of three stood there in fear, not daring to even raise their heads.

"Are you, your family of three, living here for this period of time?" Jiang Li did not try to comfort the Fu family, but looked around the environment here.

This is a basement with no windows and only one exit, which can only be opened from the top.

In this basement, besides two beds, there is only a table and four stools.

There is also a small space separated by a screen, which should be the place for bathing and toileting.

Because the air is not circulating, there is a strange smell in the room.

“In reply to the Immortal, ever since my daughter’s death, my family has been living here for fear of being retaliated by the Zhao family.

Uncle Li took us in to protect us, so please don't blame him." Father Fu said in panic.

"Protect you?" Jiang Li smiled meaningfully.

"So it was the mayor who took you in?" Meng Jue asked.

“I dare not lie to the immortal. After my daughter committed suicide that day, Uncle Li happened to come to my house to visit her.

Knowing that my daughter committed suicide, and fearing that the Zhao family would not let us go, they took us in here.

We have already discussed that when things calm down, Uncle Li will find an opportunity to send us away from Xiaofu Town and start a new life somewhere else."
