Chapter 186 Zhuge Qing and Tianxia Entertainment Company
In response to Zhuge Yunfan's question, Jin Renfeng nodded.
After all, no matter how you look at it, the two elves who mastered the Wuhou Qimen and Wuhou Shenji are related to the Zhuge family.
"Uncle, what is going on? Why do these two elves know our family's Qimen and Shenji?"
Zhuge Meng asked.
"How did our family's tricks end up on these two elves?"
The old man lifted the teacup, unhurriedly used the lid to stir the tea leaves in the water, and said slowly,
"In fact, you guessed correctly. These two elves were indeed once members of my Zhuge family."
Zhuge Qing, who was pouring tea, almost dropped the teapot when his hand trembled.
"People from our family? Uncle! These earth spirits and wood spirits have appeared for decades. Why have I never heard the villagers mention their identities?"
Zhuge Meng, who was standing by, leaned on the table and stood up and asked.
The girl's head is now full of questions, and she is eager to find out the truth.
The old man shook his head.
"The identities of these two people are related to a taboo of the Zhuge family. It is naturally not appropriate to mention it to you young people."
At this point, Zhuge Yunfan looked at Jin Renfeng standing aside.
"I hope you guys can keep this a secret for our Zhuge family and save some face."
"Don't worry, senior. We are not the kind of people who like to meddle in other people's business." Jin Renfeng made the assurance.
Secrets like this that people themselves don't want to mention must be related to some family scandals.
If this kind of thing were to be leaked to others, it would just be making enemies for nothing.
Anyone with a bit of common sense knows what to do.
Seeing that several people agreed, the old man slowly spoke and revealed the identities of the two elves.
"This earth spirit is called Zhuge Yunhui, and he was my fifth brother when he was alive. This wood spirit is his wife, and her name is Tian Xiaodie."
Upon hearing this, Jin Renfeng looked strange.
He was just talking nonsense before.
But I didn’t expect that the wood spirit and the earth spirit were really old lovers!
"Fifth Uncle? How could it be him?"
Zhuge Meng was a little surprised.
"I vaguely remember seeing him when I was a kid. He was a nice guy on weekdays, how could he become an evil spirit?"
"I remember Fifth Grandpa, too!" Zhuge Qing put the teapot away and interrupted, "but I never remember that he had a wife."
Zhuge Yunfan said in a deep voice,
"You remember correctly, you have never seen his wife, because his wife died very early."
"This is also related to a major disaster that happened back then."
As he spoke, Zhuge Yunfan raised his eyes and glanced at a few people.
"You must have all heard about the Jiashen Rebellion!"
When they heard the old man mention the Jiashen Rebellion, Jin Renfeng and Feng Shayan looked at each other, with thousands of speculations flashing through their minds.
After all, the Feng family was involved in the Jiashen Rebellion, and now that the old man brought up what happened back then, the two of them couldn't help but think a lot.
"I've heard my father mention this before." Zhuge Meng said, "It is said that it was a great chaos caused by the evil cult Quan Xing, and many sects were involved."
Zhuge Yunfan shook his head.
"On the surface, it is true, but in reality it is different from what you know."
The old man narrated slowly,
"The Jiashen Rebellion was indeed started by Quan Xing, but its root cause lies in the oath of brotherhood of the thirty-six thieves."
"Back then, the thirty-six people, led by the all-powerful demon Wu Gensheng, secretly formed a clandestine alliance and became known as the Thirty-Six Thieves."
"Among the thirty-six people, there are many disciples from famous and upright sects."
"Because it was a collusion between a famous and upright sect and the Quan Xing demon, this alliance was not tolerated by the major sects."
"After the news leaked, in order to protect the reputation of the righteous sects, the major sects involved joined forces to issue a hunting order against the thirty-six thieves. This is the true face of the Jiashen Rebellion."
Zhuge Yunfan briefly explained the origin of the Jiashen Rebellion.
"Grandpa, you are bringing up the Jiashen Rebellion at this time, could it be?"
Zhuge Qing said with some doubt.
"That's right, Tian Xiaodie was one of the thirty-six thieves back then!"
Zhuge Yunfan said something earth-shattering.
"Later, I personally executed her!"
"you!"
Zhuge Meng and Zhuge Qing were stunned. Suddenly hearing that a familiar relative had killed someone, the two felt at a loss for a moment and stood still.
Jin Renfeng and the two women looked at each other, and the true Qi in their bodies began to flow slowly.
They didn't expect that the Zhuge clan leader would reveal such a big piece of news.
"Isn't he going to take action later?"
Looking at the old man's attitude, Jin Renfeng was a little confused about the situation.
"Don't panic, you little kids!" Zhuge Yunfan waved his hand and said calmly,
"What happened in the past is in the past!"
"It's a peaceful time now. I only tell you these stories to explain the problem of evil spirits. You don't need to be scared."
"I am not a bad person. I did it for a reason."
After hearing these words, everyone slowly put their minds at ease.
"Then why did uncle want to kill fifth aunt?" Zhuge Meng asked cautiously.
Zhuge Yunfan glanced at the little girl and calmly recounted what happened that year.
"After participating in the Thirty-Six Thieves' Oath of Brotherhood, Tian Xiaodie returned to the village. Not long after, the list of the sworn brotherhood was leaked, and she was included in the must-kill list by all the righteous sects."
"At that time, all the major sects adopted an attitude of killing all the disciples involved."
"In 1944, it was still a time of turmoil. In order to deal with foreign enemies, most of the righteous sects formed an alliance. Our Zhuge family was also a part of it."
"In order to give an explanation to the major decent factions and alliances, and also to maintain the family's reputation, the Zhuge family chose to clean up the family and personally executed Tian Xiaodie. And the person who did it was me!"
"So this is why you attacked Fifth Grandma!"
Zhuge Qing said thoughtfully.
"Although my hands are stained with blood, I do not regret it." Zhuge Yunfan said coldly.
"That era was too chaotic. Severe punishments should be used in troubled times. This is the fate that should befall you for colluding with the Quan Xing demon."
"But this is ultimately an ugly act of fratricide, so we, the older generation, have never mentioned it to you."
"I originally thought that once I got rid of the person, the matter would come to an end, but in the end, Tian Xiaodie's soul was captured by the strange structure of Zhuge Village and became a so-called wood spirit!"
"So all the grandfathers and uncles knew that the wood spirit was my fifth aunt, so they kept it a secret? And they never considered getting rid of the wood spirit?"
Zhuge Meng asked.
"That's right! Although Tian Xiaodie was wrong back then, all debts are settled when the person dies. We are all family, so there is no reason for her to kill someone twice." Zhuge Yunfan nodded.
"But I didn't expect that because I killed her in her lifetime, the wood spirit that Tian Xiaodie transformed into would still retain her hatred for the Zhuge family. As soon as it took shape, it came to harass the village and attack the villagers."
"No wonder this wood spirit often attacks the villagers. It turns out that it has a grudge against our family."
Zhuge Qingdao,
"But I clearly remember that the wood spirits only started to attack our people in recent years! There was no news about the wood spirits before!"
Zhuge Meng denied it. Zhuge Yunfan shook his head slowly.
"This wood spirit has existed for decades, but was only exposed in recent years because someone has been trying to appease her."
"When Yunhui was alive, he was the one who handled all the wood spirit matters."
"This wood spirit has a habit. As long as its accumulated energy is consumed, it will be quiet for a while."
"So every once in a while, Yunhui will fight with the wood spirits to suppress their riots!"
“That’s why no one has ever been harmed before.”
"But after Yunhui passed away, this mission was left unfinished. In order to ensure the safety of the village, a few of us elders decided to take turns on duty and work together to suppress the rebellion."
"It was fine at the beginning, but as time went on, as the wood spirits became more skilled, we became increasingly unable to cope with them."
"In recent years, the wood spirit has become so powerful that it can no longer be completely suppressed like before. It can even remain active at all times. We were unable to cope with it, which caused several incidents."
"So that's how it is!" Zhuge Meng murmured to himself.
"What's going on with Fifth Grandpa?" Zhuge Qing asked
"It's that bastard's obsession too!"
Speaking of Zhuge Yunhui, Zhuge Yunfan sighed.
"Until his death, this guy was still missing Tian Xiaodie, and was worried that the village would destroy him without him."
"For this reason, before he died, he deliberately chose the Gen position, and used the power of the pattern and his obsession to transform himself into an evil spirit."
"On the one hand, he hoped that the evil spirit he transformed into could stop the village from attacking Tian Xiaodie. On the other hand, he also hoped that after his death, he could stay with Tian Xiaodie forever."
“This is how the Earth Spirit was born.”
So Tian Xiaodie is the earth spirit’s obsession?
Jin Renfeng reacted and realized that it was no wonder that the earth spirit made a move just after he subdued the wood spirit.
"What a sad and tortuous love story! So touching!"
After hearing the whole story, Zhuge Meng clasped his hands together, his eyes flashing with emotion and sympathy.
"Love? You silly girl."
Seeing Zhuge Meng's expression, Zhuge Yunfan couldn't help but curse. "When I taught you about evil spirits, do you still remember what evil spirits are?"
"The so-called evil spirit is the ghost that is transformed after a person dies because of an obsession!" Zhuge Qing continued.
"That's right, evil spirits are just evil spirits created by obsession. Because of this, they have nothing else except obsession."
Zhuge Yunfan said,
"Before Tian Xiaodie died, she only had the thought of killing people, so she didn't remember anything else except killing people."
"What Yunhui retained was his obsession to accompany his wife. This would be the only thing left after his death. As for love, it had never existed since the moment he turned into an evil spirit."
The old man said disdainfully,
"If there is no consciousness, how can there be love? All that is left are two troubles."
"Because of the restrictions of the landscape, they couldn't meet each other at all. They could only stay on two different hills and look at each other from afar."
"You can't say that! This kind of persistence in true love is still admirable. The couple looking at each other from afar after death also embodies the concept of true love!"
The young Zhuge Meng had a look of longing on his face.
"I really hope my future husband can be as devoted as Fifth Grandpa."
Seeing this, Zhuge Yunfan shook his head.
He couldn't understand the little girl's thoughts.
"That's the detailed story. Because it involves a family scandal, I hope you won't spread it to others."
The old man looked at Jin Renfeng and the others and asked.
Now that the wood spirit and earth spirit have been exposed to outsiders, it is useless to continue keeping the secret, and it will only lead to inexplicable speculation.
In order to maintain the reputation of his family, Zhuge Yunfan chose to reveal everything and then negotiate with several people openly.
"Don't worry, senior. We are not the kind of people who keep our mouths shut. We will definitely keep this secret to ourselves."
Jin Renfeng made another promise.
Xia He and Feng Shayan also swore to keep the secret.
Seeing the attitudes of the few people, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Jin Renfeng turned over his palm, and two souls, one yellow and one green, emerged from his palm.
"What do you want to do?"
Seeing the souls of Zhuge Yunhui and Tian Xiaodie emerge, Zhuge Yunfan frowned.
"Originally, I was thinking of taking these two elves away, but now that I know the truth, it's not appropriate to take them away."
Jin Renfeng smiled and said,
"After all, these two are the elders of the Zhuge family, so let's keep them in the Zhuge family."
Although these two people were the essence of the five elements that he needed, he had no intention of staying.
Jin Renfeng has too many methods and controls many souls, so one more or one less will not cause any harm at all.
Besides, these two people are the elders of the family after all. It is inappropriate to arrest them directly in front of the Zhuge family.
However, Zhuge Yunfan slowly shook his head.
"Don't worry about what I said. We had carefully considered inviting you to come here."
"The soul that has turned into an evil spirit is no longer the same person. The memory is lost, and the body only exists because of obsession."
"If we stay, we will have no way to deal with them. As the two elves grow stronger, they will become more dangerous. To ensure the safety of the villagers, sooner or later, we will have to beat them to pieces."
"It would be better to leave it in my hands, so that the two of them can continue to exist in this world for a while longer."
"But he is a senior of the Zhuge family after all!" Jin Renfeng looked a little embarrassed.
"Fifth brother's wish is to be with his wife for a long time. Staying in your hands is a disguised way of fulfilling his wish."
Zhuge Yunfan persuaded,
"In my opinion, there is no better way to deal with it than to subdue it, young friend."
Seeing that the old man spoke sincerely and there was no reluctance in his words, Jin Renfeng changed his mind and accepted it.
Since his own people were willing, he naturally had no reason to refuse. Moreover, this was the essence of the five elements that he needed.
After solving the problem with the elves, Jin Renfeng and his party planned to say goodbye and leave.
However, the Zhuge family was very hospitable and insisted on keeping a few people and treating them well.
Unable to refuse the other party's enthusiasm, the three of them stayed in Zhuge Village for one night.
. . . . . .
The next morning,
Two young men, Zhuge Meng and Zhuge Qing, escorted them to the village entrance.
Before leaving, Jin Renfeng looked at Zhuge Qing and asked tentatively.
"Brother Qing, are you interested in developing a career in the entertainment industry?"
Zhuge Qing looked surprised.
"The entertainment industry? Mr. Jin is a talent scout?"
Jin Renfeng waved his hand.
"I'm not a talent scout. It's just that Tianxia Group is planning to set up an entertainment company recently, and now is the time when they are in urgent need of stars."
"I think Brother Zhuge has good qualities in all aspects and is a good material for becoming a star. Why don't you join our Tianxia Entertainment Company and seek development?"
