Bone Picker

Chapter 47 Mission
Before you know it, it's already dawn.

There was movement downstairs, and I opened the curtains to look, and found that the security guards were cleaning up the blood stains downstairs, as well as the cat corpses that had been burned.

The security guards were all wearing masks and didn't ask any questions. They just cleaned up silently. It should have been explained by Shi Xiaolan, after all, she is their eldest lady.

dong dong dong.

A knock on the door drew my attention from downstairs.

I saw Zibuyu standing at the door of the study, looking straight at me, seeing me turn around, and asked me: "Have you not slept all night?"

"I can't sleep." I stretched out my hand to signal: "Come in and sit down."

Zizi walked over without saying a word, his steps were quite steady, his face turned red, and his condition was recovering well.

People who practice martial arts have good physical fitness, and they recover quickly, and they recover in one night.

If it were me, I would take the time to release the big move, just like the last time the blue dragon went out to sea, it took me a week to fully recover.

He pulled out the chair directly opposite and sat down across the desk.

He looked me up and down, and asked me, "Are you troubled by what happened recently?"

"Yeah." I nodded and said, "You can't say this, you can't say that, it makes me confused and confused."

Zibuyu hesitated for a while, and then said: "Things have developed to the present, and it is indeed time for you to know some things. Your grandfather didn't tell you, but he wanted to bring these things into the coffin. Tired of these things, but fate is destined, these things still found you."

I cheered up and continued to look at Zi without saying a word.

"Did your grandfather leave you a map?"

I widened my eyes and asked him, "How do you know?"

"Why didn't I know, our Eight Diagrams Sect also has one, and another person also has one. These three maps together form a complete treasure map."

I widened my eyes and asked him, "What's going on? What kind of treasure is hidden in the treasure map? What does this have to do with my marriage contract with these five families?"

"If I'm not wrong, the Jiuxian Mountain Mine should be marked on the treasure map of your house, right?" Zibuyu asked me.

I was taken aback, I only discovered this from the map half an hour ago, and Zibuyu had already guessed it.

"Yes." I answered directly without hiding anything.

"Sure enough, as I expected, that's no surprise, the blessed land of the Wuxianxian family that the five families who are married to you must have been marked on your family's map." Zibuyu continued.

I frowned, but I didn't notice this.

There are many places marked on the map, but there are no words such as Canglong Going to Sea, Dead Trees in Spring, Returning to the Dragon and Guzu, Golden Rooster Reporting the Nest, Inkstone and Pen Holder, etc. The names of the mountains are all marked on them.

Zibuyu said so, I also think it is very possible.

I asked him: "If your guess is correct, and the geomantic treasures of these five families are on my home map, what does that have to do with my marriage with the five families?"

"Why doesn't it matter?" Zi asked me without a word: "The treasure maps of the three families are related to the mission, and the geomantic treasure lands obtained by the five families are all on the map. You married the girls of the five families because of these five treasure lands." , do you think it matters?"

I thought about it, and there is indeed a relationship, but I can't figure out the connection in the middle.

"What kind of treasure map is this?" I asked while boiling water to make tea, and handed a cup to Zibuyu.

He took the tea, took a sip, and said, "It's a long story, but it's not really a secret in this circle! You've heard of the White Lotus Sect, right?"

"White Lotus Sect?" I've seen it in some film and television dramas, but I haven't heard my grandfather mention it. I can find some clues in the materials left by the Li family.

I don't know much about the White Lotus Sect. I only know that it is an organization that is not recognized, and was even positioned as a cult in certain dynasties.

"Let me tell you, the White Lotus Sect has a very long history. It can be traced back to the Tang and Song Dynasties. It also had a period of glory and prosperity. However, in the course of development, it has continuously absorbed members and has been attracted by many miscellaneous people. Borrowing the name, and claiming to be a member of the White Lotus Sect whenever they do bad things. Gradually, the reputation of the White Lotus Sect will become bad, and there are too many branches, and they are heterogeneous and difficult to manage. It was recognized by sects, and was even suppressed by those in power in many dynasties, and it was designated as a cult."

"But in fact, the orthodox branch of the White Lotus Sect is still doing practical things for the people. Wherever there is injustice or oppression, this team will stand up and do things for the people." Zibuyu took another sip of tea and continued: " But no matter how hard this team works, it can’t restore the reputation of the White Lotus Sect, after all, other branches have done 99 bad things, and this team can’t make up for one good thing, can you understand?”

"Yeah." I nodded, I had a vague feeling that our Li family's mission should have something to do with the White Lotus Sect.

"At the end of the Qing Dynasty, this orthodox team was hit by the Qing government's encirclement and suppression. The main force was killed and injured. When the leader was dying, he divided a map of the location of the White Lotus Sect's main altar into three and gave it to his daughter. At that time, the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus, and the left and right protectors kept them, allowing them to break out and hide among the people."

"The left protector is a patriarch of our Bagua Sect, and the right protector is a patriarch surnamed Li." Zibu finished speaking and looked into my eyes.

I widened my eyes, I really understood.

That Wu Zuo surnamed Li is the ancestor of our Li family.

The patriarch of Bagua Sect is the patriarch of his son who does not speak.

Our Li family keeps one-third of the map, their Bagua Cult keeps one-third, and the other one is on the body of the white lotus saint.

"This map is the location of the main altar of the White Lotus Sect. So is there any treasure in this altar? Otherwise, why would other people want to snatch it?" I suddenly became interested. There must be many treasures hidden in this place.

"I don't know the details, and no one has ever been to this place, but it is rumored all over the world that the treasures accumulated by the White Lotus Sect in the past dynasties are all in this main altar, including the treasures handed over to the main altar by other major branches. , and the Blood Jade White Lotus, the treasure of the town religion of the White Lotus Sect, is also in it." Zibuyu shook his head and said, "These are just rumors. The main altar, use these wealth as start-up funds to continue the unfinished business of the White Lotus Sect."

"It's a pity that since that battle, the White Lotus Sect has also collapsed. Not only this orthodox team, but also those branches have been hit to varying degrees, causing countless casualties. These remaining forces of the White Lotus Sect have escaped into the people. Disappear."

"They all live as ordinary people, and they are engaged in all walks of life. They are all lurking, waiting for someone to raise their arms and wave their flags, and they will rush to gather. It's a pity that the Republic of China ushered in later, and it has been until now , the White Lotus Sect is completely destroyed."
