MTL - Lord Wei’s Fiancee is a Mystic Arts Expert-Chapter 60 Xinglin Town

Feng Nian stepped out of the room, just as the door of the next room opened.

Wei Zhen's warm smile was already on his face, "Morning."

"Master Wei, it's afternoon," she smiled back. She could sleep in the cemetery overnight, but she couldn't sleep in Shen's house, because the atmosphere in Shen's house made her feel weird.

Wei Zhen signaled her to follow him in the direction of the restaurant. The dining table was already full of food.

"Eat something to pad your stomach first." He pushed a bowl of shredded chicken porridge in front of Feng Nian.

Feng Nian was not polite at all, and after filling his stomach, he raised his head to thank him, and asked about the Shen family's ancestral house by the way.

"The Shen family's ancestral house, I know," before Wei Zhen could answer, Wei Guichang immediately sat down beside Wei Zhen. When they arrived at the Shen family's ancestral house, they came out in a hurry. Wei Guichang didn't seem to notice that he, like Wei Cong, was not a good assist.

The Shen family's ancestral house was set up by the Shen family in Xinglin Town. The original Shen family made their fortune in the next town, which is Xinglin Town. The Shen family was not originally from Zuncheng, but the whole family moved to Zuncheng after they made a fortune. The Shen family's ancestral home is still in Xinglin Town.

The reason why Feng Nian cared so much about the Shen family's ancestral house was because Yao Yufei woke up after the ghost aura was driven away last night. She struggled to open her eyes, stretched out her hand to grab Feng Nian, and said to Feng Nian in a hoarse voice, "Shen's ancestral house, Black Jade Soup." After saying this, because she couldn't hold on anymore, she passed out again.

Yao Yufei's words were also the reason why Feng Nian always wanted to investigate the Shen family's ancestral house. She originally wanted to leave the Shen family after the matter was settled, but she was worried that it would arouse the suspicion of Shen Li's family, so she delayed until dawn.

What Wei Guichang actually knew about the Shen family was only the location of the Shen family's ancestral house, and that the Shen family would return to Xinglin Town to pay respects to their ancestors during festivals, and they attached great importance to the ancestral house, sending people to repair it every year. This tradition did not start from Shen Li's family, but it has always been like this in Shen's family. According to the importance the Shen family attaches to the ancestral house, there must be some important secret hidden in the ancestral house of the Shen family.

After returning to the rented house, Feng Nian saw Lao Ma. The old horse looked a little tired, his chin was full of stubble, his clothes hadn't been changed for several days, and he smelled sour, but the excitement in his eyes couldn't be concealed. She learned about Haiyan Village from Lao Ma.

After Lao Ma picked up the Ma sisters, many things happened in Haiyan Village on the day of Yan Haishen Festival.

The village head collapsed in front of everyone, and was told after being sent to the hospital that he had suffered a sudden stroke and was paralyzed all over his body. He could only spend the rest of his days in a hospital bed.

The youngest's daughter-in-law had a difficult labor, and the child was not kept, and it was still a well-formed male fetus.

The misfortune that happened to the village chief's family was all their own fault. They wanted to sacrifice the twins to Yan Haishen, but the calculations of people's hearts could not be worth the retribution after all.

Although at the beginning, the Ma sisters didn't push them down the bay with their own hands, but such coaxing and resignation are no different from doing it themselves.

"Uncle Ma, besides these, have you found other things?" Feng Nian looked at the old horse, and she faintly felt that this matter was not simple.

Since ancient times, it has not been said that twins were used to worship Yan Haishen in Haiyan Village. The first time it happened was the one with the Ma sisters eight years ago. It was not easy to choose the right twins. They needed children born in the same year as Yan Haishen, and they still needed twins. The Ma sisters just turned sixteen, and they were born in the year of Yan Haishen's birthday.

The old horse sighed softly, "It's not that Uncle Ma doesn't believe you, but your surname is Feng—"

Eight years ago, the reason why the village chief thought of using twins to sacrifice to Yan Haishen was because of the advice of a master surnamed Feng. Since ten years ago, the fishery in Haiwanzi has become less and less. The reduction in fishery is one thing, but there are many fishermen in Haiyan Village who did not return when they went to sea. Master Feng told the village chief that Yan Haishen was angry.

The appearance of Master Feng made Haiyan Village calm for a few years, but to completely solve the problem of Yan Haishen's anger, she told the village head that she had to donate twins on the Yan Haishen Festival every eight years. The bewildered village head believed it was true, and began to look for targets in the village. The Ma sisters became the selected ones.

Lao Ma had questioned the village chief's family, but no one knew who that master Feng was, only his surname was Feng, and no other information was available.

What the old horse said made Feng Nian frowned. Except for her, there is no one else who can really make achievements in the mystical arts in the direct branch of the Feng family, and her uncles are not expected to be mystical masters. Could it be someone from another branch? But why do you want to do this? Also, who did the Yin thing in Yu Meiqiang's hand that originally belonged to the Feng family come from?

Lao Ma once heard Coffin Xiang said that although Feng Nian is a legitimate daughter of the Feng family, she was kicked out by the Feng family. He also believed that she would never be the one who proposed the method of offering sacrifices to Yan Haishen.

"Uncle Ma, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation!" Feng Nian tightly held the bracelet on her wrist, which was given to her by her grandfather when he was dying. Besides this bracelet, my grandfather also told her to take good care of Feng Nian. She couldn't let the members of the Feng family dishonor the reputation of the Feng family, and she couldn't let her grandfather's hard work be ruined.

"Okay, I believe you." Although I haven't known Feng Nian for a long time, she is kind to the two people, and she is not a person with bad intentions, so she is worthy of trust.

"Uncle Ma, you will accompany me to Xinglin Town tomorrow. I'm going to check the Shen family's ancestral house." The people behind the Feng family still don't have any clues, but the matter of the Shen family is imminent, and we must investigate it as soon as possible.

In the early morning of the next day, Lao Ma drove his small truck that usually delivered goods, and took Feng Nian together towards Xinglin Town.

After arriving in Xinglin Town, it is not difficult to find out the location of the Shen family's ancestral house. Although the whole Shen family moved to Zuncheng, they have a great reputation in Xinglin Town. Normally, the Shen family often contributes to support Xinglin Town, so when they inquired, passers-by pointed out the location of the Shen family's ancestral house for Feng Nian and Lao Ma.

Lao Ma parked the pickup truck not far from the Shen family's ancestral house.

I saw that the surroundings of the Shen family's ancestral house were very clean, there was not even a leaf in front of the door, and there was a gatekeeper. It seems that Shen Li's family is very concerned about the Shen family's ancestral house, not only often send people to repair it, but also specially keep people here.

"Let's find a place to rest first, we'll talk about it tonight." Feng Nian saw someone guarding the door, and didn't want to alarm anyone.

Lao Ma had no objection, so he and Feng Nian left first.

They found a homestay in Xinglin Town, and they stayed there temporarily. Just wait until after dark to visit the Shen family's ancestral house.
