Chapter 63 Recognized

  Some wooden screens have no pictures, only some simple grids. Some are exquisite patterns. For example, carving a couplet, painting plum blossoms, and then writing a poem. There are also landscapes.

  Jiang Feng held this in his hand, the main part of the painting was a landscape painting. After combining with other wooden boards, it would form a complete picture. Looking at one board alone, it was incomplete.

  Jiang Feng's gaze also didn't fall on the painting on the main body of the screen. He and Lan Wu's gazes both fell on the top of the screen.

  The top and bottom of the screen are generally decorated with hollow or embossed patterns. The one in Jiang Feng's hand has a black snake carved in relief at the top, biting a pearl. Now Jiang Feng's gaze is fixed on this black snake.

  "Are you fond of snake patterns on your clothes?" Jiang Feng said. He really hadn't expected that Lan Wu would mention the connection between the screen and Xū Huáng Dào.

  "I'm not talking about the snake pattern, I'm talking about that pearl, it looks just like one of our sect's treasures," said Lan Wu.

  Jiang Feng hummed, and once again carefully examined the pearl in the snake's mouth. He had been staring at this screen because he felt the fluctuation of the dark energy on the pearl.

  "What is it, after all?" Jiang Feng asked. He pondered, if it was really a treasure of the Void Emperor's Dao, maybe he could investigate some clues related to the Void Emperor's Dao. Maybe he could even find the Void Emperor's Dao.

  Lan Wu didn't speak immediately, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, she said with some disappointment: "I was mistaken, that pearl isn't something from the Void Emperor's path. It's just an ordinary yin pearl."

  You can hear the disappointment of Lan Wu, and even Jiang Feng feels a little disappointed. But this matter cannot be rushed, it can only be found one by one. Maybe tomorrow we will find the clue.

  "Come here." Jiang Feng said, pointing at someone in the courtyard.

  That man was a house servant. He looked around first, then pointed to himself with his hand. After seeing Jiang Feng nod, the servant slowly walked over.

  "I'm asking you, where did this screen come from?" Jiang Feng asked.

  Jia Ding looked at the screen and then glanced towards the door of the house, before saying: "Reporting to the great immortal, this screen was bought from Tongda County, fifty miles away. The other furniture also came from there."

  "Was it bought from a furniture dealer or from someone's private hands?" Jiang Feng asked.

  "Report to the great immortal, these were all sold by the government. Originally belonged to a family with the surname Wan. But that family disappeared completely. The government then auctioned off their property." said the house servant.

  "Is he missing? How did he go missing? Has he been found?" Jiang Feng asked.

  Jia Ding thought for a moment and said, "As for the specifics, I really don't know. All I've heard is that the Wan family disappeared overnight. Whether it was the master or the servants, they all vanished without a trace. To this day, not one of them has been found."

  Jiang Feng hummed and asked again where Tongda County was, as well as the specific location of the Wan family's home. After that, he waved his hand and let the servant go. Looking at the screen, Jiang Feng pondered, could it be that the Wan family really died out? I'll go take a look at that Tongda County anyway.

  Thinking so, Jiang Feng slightly exerted force in his hand and broke off the part of the screen with the black snake carving. He didn't bother with the other parts. Jiang Feng directly boarded a flying artifact and flew out of the Xue family.

  Jiang Feng flew away, and the people of Xue's family also let out a sigh of relief. They naturally knew that Jiang Feng was a cultivator, and they didn't dare to provoke a cultivator at all. The things Jiang Feng took away, they wouldn't bother with either.

  Just as Jiang Feng had just flown out of the city, the people at Xue's house hadn't recovered yet. Three people fell into the Xue family mansion without distinction. As soon as they landed, they rushed to the furniture piled up in the courtyard. After glancing at it for only two seconds, someone picked up the screen that Jiang Feng had held earlier.

  The part on the screen was gone. The three young men all looked terrible. And the Xue family were all scared to death.

  "You'd better tell us honestly, where did the missing part go?" said a monk holding up the incomplete screen.

  The master of the Xue family was a man in his fifties. Originally timid, the three monks' ferocious appearance made him even more frightened. When he heard the monk's question, the master of the Xue family couldn't answer.

  Just as the three monks were about to get angry, the house servant who had spoken with Jiang Feng earlier said: "It was taken away by someone who looked like one of you a moment ago. That person just left."

  "Where did he go?" asked a monk.

  Jia Ding pointed to the north, which was exactly where Jiang Feng had flown. The three monks saw it and immediately controlled the flying instrument to fly up, heading north.

  The three monks were not afraid of being cheated by the Xue family. After all, they were ordinary people and could not run away for a while. If they couldn't find Jiang Feng, they should come back to settle accounts with the Xue family.

  Jiang Feng flew out of the city, still fiddling with that wooden board. Perhaps because he was thinking about something, or perhaps because he wasn't in a hurry, Jiang Feng's flight speed was very slow.

  Jiang Feng hadn't flown far when three figures appeared behind him. The three cultivators saw Jiang Feng flying slowly in front of them and immediately accelerated to catch up.

  "Hey, friend from ahead, please stop!" someone shouted at Jiang Feng.

  Hearing someone calling from behind, Jiang Feng turned around to look. When he saw three cultivators flying over quickly, Jiang Feng also stopped in his tracks. He wanted to see what the three cultivators were going to do?

  "You say those three, could they be robbers? If they're not only robbing but also abducting women, what should we do?" Jiang Feng said to Lan Wu.

  "When have you ever seen robbers not blocking the road in front, but chasing people from behind? Moreover, even if they want to rob beauty, it's your beauty they're after. They can't see me." Lan Wu said slowly.

  "Not funny at all." Jiang Feng muttered. At this time, those three monks approached.

  The three monks hadn't stopped yet when they saw the wooden block held in Jiang Feng's hand. They also knew that they had caught up with the person they were looking for.

  After they stopped, one of the monks was about to speak, but suddenly stopped. The man's expression became slightly surprised, and the other two monks were all looking at the wooden board in Jiang Feng's hand, apparently not intending to speak first.

  "Anything wrong?" Jiang Feng asked proactively when he saw that the three monks didn't say a word.

  As soon as Jiang Feng asked this, one of the two cultivators holding the wooden board was about to speak up, but was interrupted by the other cultivator who had looked surprised earlier.

  "We really apologize, we mistook you for someone else. It's truly embarrassing." The monk said.

  "It's nothing, just mistaken identity, it happens all the time." Jiang Feng said.

  The monk said a few more apologies, then pulled the other two monks back. After retreating for some distance, they flew away with their flying devices. Jiang Feng also continued on his way.

  "Those three monks absolutely didn't mistake you for someone else. They were looking for you." Lan Wu said to Jiang Feng.

  "I had just picked up this wooden board when they came chasing after me. They must have come for this board. I don't know why they left again, but I think they'll be back. We'll find out what they want to do then," said Jiang Feng.

  The three cultivators who left Jiang Feng didn't fly far before landing on the ground. After they landed, one of them said: "The thing is in that person's hand, why don't we just take it away instead of saying we've mistaken the person?"

  If it wasn't for the monk who was talking to Jiang Feng just now, secretly giving a signal to the other two people, they wouldn't have left. Now that they are far away from Jiang Feng, these two monks naturally want to ask clearly.

  "Yes, since the person has caught up and the thing is in his hand, why should we still run? Are the three of us afraid of a fellow cultivator of the same level?" Another person asked.

  The monk who was talking to He Jiang said with a frown, after a moment of contemplation, "Do you two know who that person just now is?"

  The two of them shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know. They were also waiting for the man to reveal what Jiang Feng was. In their hearts, they were also wondering if the man was a disciple of some major sect.

  "He is Jiang Feng, the one who caused a huge commotion in Wuxing Jianzong."

  "What? It's actually him." The other two monks exclaimed in surprise.
