Chapter 48 Rivers and Lakes Experience
After listening to what I said, Grandpa Wu nodded and said, "Then what do you think about our side?"
"Actually, after the division of the South Court, we have no choice here. If the Shao family is in trouble, we, as outsiders, have to go out collectively. Shouldn't the Shao family's Four Courts and Five Jue go? But I have also considered it.
Yes, Dong Jue is my senior brother and Shao Xian’s confidant. He is one of the few people we can trust in the Shao family, so he must be on our side." I said.
"Well, that makes sense. Zhongjue and Beiting are currently in conflict, so it would be best for them to separate." Fifth Grandpa said.
"Yes, I think so too. Also, Dongting saved Master Yang Ming back then, so it is related to us. Moreover, I have fought with him. His strength is far superior to mine. If he follows us, it will be
A very good helper. As for Nan Jue, he can activate the nasal aperture with me and will be a good supplement." I said.
"You did a good job tomorrow. I also heard Leng Yue introduce Dongting. I didn't expect that he still has this history with my master. I must have a good chat with him when I have the opportunity." Fifth Grandpa said.
"There will be a chance. On this trip to Guimen Pass, we must rely on him. So when will we go to Guimen Pass, Fifth Grandpa?" I asked.
"Don't worry, as the name suggests, the soul wandering technique is to travel to the underworld through the way of the soul out of the body. In other words, during this process, our physical body cannot move, and we need to be well protected, that is, we must not be attacked by others.
It was a conspiracy." Fifth Grandpa said.
"Are you worried that someone will secretly sneak into the Shao family when we go to the gate of hell, and then destroy our bodies, so that our souls will become ownerless souls?" I asked in surprise.
"Yes, and I have always had another layer of worry in my heart, which is whether the Shao family is really cooperating with us. What if this is Gongsun Yang's plan? Once we use the Soul Wandering Technique, our bodies will be at the mercy of others.
Although the Shao family has many people, after the troops were divided into two groups, there were actually no powerful people. Previously, Shao Yi was killed by a traitor because he fell into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain. What if Gongsun Yang really planned to take advantage of the Shao family?
When no one is around, when our souls are out of the body, they take the opportunity to plot against us, and we have no way to do it." Fifth Grandpa said.
"Then what should we do?" Mengzhu said.
"Then I won't go, I'll stay to protect you." Dad said.
"That's what I think too. It's better to stay with Jian'er. The others are far less skilled than you, so you are more suitable to protect everyone." Fifth Grandpa said.
"Actually, we still have that copy of "Easy to Count Plum Blossoms" hidden away," Yingying said.
"What do you think?" Fifth Grandpa said.
"Senior brother can guard against Gongsun Yang here, but if even the Shao family is pretending to cooperate with us, then senior brother will definitely not be able to do it alone. Therefore, it is best for us to have someone leave the Shao family with the book in advance, and then issue a
Give the photo to the Shao family, which can be used as a threat to prevent the Shao family from harboring evil intentions." Yingying said.
"What a plan!" Grandpa Fifth said.
"Well, let's do this. Ling'er has already learned how to be graceful and can protect herself. Let her take "Plum Blossoms to Count" first and go to Wujiacun to find my second uncle. Wujiacun still protects the village anyway.
Even ordinary people are no match for the village protection team." I said.
"Okay, then let's wait until Ling'er arrives in Wujiacun and send us the photos before we go to Guimen Pass," Yingying said.

arrive.
I nodded and said, "Then I'll go see Ling'er and tell her about the situation."
After saying that, I went to find Ling'er and entered Ling'er's room. Ling'er was still resting. He might have heard the sound of me opening the door and said: "Who?"
"Ling'er is awake? It's me," I said.
"Brother Ming'er, you are here. I heard from Sister Leng Yue that we are going to the Gate of Hell. Isn't it scary there?" Ling'er was very happy to see me coming.
"Hahaha Ling'er, you are so cute. Yes, we are going there, but you don't have to go there this time." I said.
"Why?" Ling'er asked doubtfully.
"Because you have other things to do, we suspect that the Shao family does not really want to cooperate with the Wu family, so someone needs to escape with "Plum Blossoms" and then use this book to blackmail the Shao family, so that the Shao family
Don't dare to harm us when our souls are out of body." I explained.
"So that's it, then where should I go? Go home?" Ling'er said.
"It's not possible for the time being. Although you are as graceful as a dragon, it is still too dangerous. I think you should go to Wujiacun and find my second uncle Wu Li. He is now in charge of the village protection team of Wujiacun and can protect you.
I asked my dad to tell my second uncle in advance, so you don’t have to worry." I said.
"Okay, then you must be careful when you go to Guimenguan. I will wait for you in Wujia Village." Ling'er said.
"Okay, take a good rest, Ling'er. Once you recover and arrive at Wujia Village, Fifth Grandpa can safely use the Soul Wandering Technique. We will leave early and return early." I said.
Ling'er nodded, and I checked her physical condition again. At this time, there was no serious problem. She only needed to rest for a few days to recover. After finishing these things, I walked out of Ling'er's room and stopped disturbing her.
She did.
Back at Grandpa Fifth's residence, Mengzhu and Yingying had already gone back to their respective rooms to make preparations. Dad saw me coming and said, "Have you finished explaining to Ling'er?"
"Well, as I said, by the way, Dad, you should tell your second uncle in advance. I'm afraid Ling'er can't explain clearly." I said.
"Don't worry, I've already said it." Dad said.
"Ming'er, what do you think of the conflict between Beiting and Zhongjue?" Fifth Grandpa asked.
"The conflict between pupil skills. Beiting relies on his ghost pupil and magic pupil to look down on Zhongjue's night vision. Zhongjue happens to be a man of means. If Beiting is in trouble, he will not let go and step on him.
." I said.
"These are all appearances. Ming'er, you have to think more. Although you are still very young, you are already the young master of the Wu family. You can no longer look at things simply, but think more. Although you now say
Law is very strong, but sometimes the power of strategy is far greater than Taoism." Fifth Grandpa said.
"I understand Fifth Grandpa, but this also requires a process. I will listen to your analysis and learn from you." I said.
"Well, you don't have to worry about that. The letter your grandfather wrote to me expressed the hope that after you have been tempered, you can be more thoughtful and I will help you. Having said that, have you ever thought about Shao Meilun and his grandchildren?
From this perspective, consider the conflict between Beiting and Zhongjue." Fifth Grandpa said.
Fifth Grandpa’s words opened a new door for me. Before that, I thought I had understood the Shao family, but the Shao family ancestors
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The conflict between the grandchildren is indeed an unavoidable topic. Could it be that the conflict between the Four Courts and the Five Jues is the conflict between the Shao family’s ancestors and grandchildren? Thinking of this, I said:
"Do you mean that the conflict between Si Ting and Wu Jue is essentially a conflict between ancestors and grandchildren?" I said.
"Yes, that's why I'm worried about Shao Meilun's sincerity in joining forces with the Wu family, because I don't think he cares that much about Shao Yi's life or death." Fifth Grandpa said.
After listening to what Grandpa Wu said, I suddenly understood and said: "I remembered, regarding how to deal with Beiting, Shao Meilun actually advocated letting Beiting go, while Wu Jue rarely confronted Shao Meilun, but Shao Xian did not want to follow him.
Shao Meilun is going to do it." I said.
"Well, I am getting better and better. Ming'er, you are right. If our speculation is correct, then Shao Xian is probably because Shao Yi is still seriously injured. She is not strong enough to fight against Shao Meilun.
, so she needs to show her kindness." Grandpa Wu said.
"But why is Shao Meilun doing this? These are his grandson and granddaughter. Is it because of Shao Meilun's prediction that the younger generation of the Shao family would have a big devil?" I asked puzzledly.
"Dong Jue made it very clear before that he is suspicious and only believes in himself and the hexagrams. Now that he is old, he will be more cautious in doing things and make more conservative choices. In order to balance the power of the Shao family, although the Four Courts are his
confidant, but he also needs the existence of Wu Jue. At the same time, he cannot sit back and watch Shao Yi and Shao Xian gradually become the actual heads of the Shao family, in case they really become the big devils, so he allows Beiting to continue to stimulate Wu Jue.
, and at the same time, he also has a very good weapon, which is Dong Ting. Dong Ting's persistence in principles can weaken the status of Shao Yi and Shao Xian to the greatest extent." Fifth Grandpa said.
I carefully thought about what happened during this period, as well as everyone's reactions, what they said, and what they did. When I applied these behaviors to the description of Grandpa Wu, it turned out to be very reasonable. Did Shao Meilun really think so?
? Thinking of this, I even had a very scary idea.
"Fifth Grandpa, do you think Shao Yi's injury was Gongsun Yang's conspiracy, or..." I didn't finish my sentence, but I believe Fifth Grandpa has understood what I meant.
"It's all possible, so we have to use "Plum Blossoms to Count" to blackmail him. If Shao Meilun sincerely cooperates with us and is willing to drop everything to save Shao Yi's life, then it means that Shao Yi's injury has nothing to do with him, but if he
He still cooperates with Gongsun Yang, and even abandons Shao Yi to become our enemy. Although we don’t know why he does it, he definitely has something to do with Shao Yi’s injury." Fifth Grandpa said.
"Fifth Grandpa, I am very inspired. I thought I had seen through the so-called world, but I didn't even see through people's hearts. No matter where I go in the future, you have to come with me. If you hadn't made preparations in advance,
, we definitely won’t be able to leave Shao’s house this time.” I said.
"Don't worry Ming'er, as long as I live, I will stay with you, but you also have to grow up on your own. One day you will take over from your father and become the head of the Wu family, so you have to take charge of yourself as soon as possible. You
I'm not worried at all about Taoism, but in this experience of traveling in the world, you have to be a thoughtful person. Ming'er, when I asked you about dividing people into two teams, I actually wanted to see if your ideas have grown.
Ming'er has grown a lot, and I'm very happy."
"I understand Grandpa Wu, I will work hard." I said.
