Shen Weixun's voice wasn't very loud. The man across from him could only vaguely catch a few words.
Just as he was about to step forward and continue his inquiry, Niannian suddenly made a move.
The little bun rolled on the ground, slipping out of the crowd's encirclement. Then, taking long strides, she rushed towards the evil statue at an astonishing speed.
With no suitable weapon at hand, Niannian had a sudden inspiration. She took out the extremely hard warm jade that Third Senior Brother had given her from her small satchel.
This jade was originally a top - grade material for carving talismans and formations. It was a pity to use it this way.
But there was no other option. Among the things in her satchel that could be used to smash the stone, this jade was the only one.
The little bun didn't hesitate and threw the jade, hitting the abdomen of the Nine - Tailed Heavenly Fox on the statue directly.
With a soft "pat", the jade was embedded in the statue's belly.
The evil statue didn't shatter. Only a few spider - web - like cracks appeared around the jade.
What material was this thing made of? It was so hard!
The little bun swore that she had used all her strength. She could knock out an ox with one punch. She could shatter marble into pieces, but this evil statue was only slightly damaged.
However, this slight damage seemed to have some effect.
The originally curled - up and listless Nine - Tailed Heavenly Fox on the statue seemed to be startled.
It suddenly opened its eyes, its beautiful ruby - like eyes wide open. It looked around, as if searching for a way out.
The Nine - Tailed Heavenly Fox inside the statue actually had spiritual awareness?
Seeing this, Niannian didn't dare to be careless. In this era, spiritual beasts were extremely rare, especially the Nine - Tailed Heavenly Fox, a propitious beast. They were even rarer.
In ancient times, they were great demons that protected a region and had made many contributions to the human race.
Due to various reasons, they gradually disappeared from the long river of history.
Now that she had encountered one, she naturally couldn't just stand by.
Niannian quickly rummaged through her satchel but couldn't find anything useful.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and took out the memorial tablet of the ancestor.
"Urgent situation. Borrowing the ancestor's memorial tablet. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me, ancestor. When I get back, I'll kneel in front of you and repent!"
Niannian murmured to the memorial tablet with a very sincere expression and a very earnest tone.
The memorial tablet in her hand shook several times after hearing her words, as if protesting silently.
"Ancestor, don't be naughty. It's really a matter of life and death."
Niannian pressed down the slightly angry ancestor. As the ancestor's favorite junior, she had the confidence.
Seeing Niannian doing such a rebellious thing, Shen Weixun involuntarily averted his gaze.
He didn't know anything. He saw nothing.
This wasn't taught by him. The ancestor mustn't hold him accountable.
If it was the little bun who made a mistake, according to the ancestor's fondness for her, even if she used the memorial tablet as a washboard, the ancestor would probably only be in a bad mood for a few days.
But if it was him, he would probably wonder if the thunderbolts from the sky were sent by the angry ancestor.
When the memorial tablet in her hand stopped moving, Niannian pursed her lips and smiled.
This reaction meant that the ancestor had agreed.
Hey, although this memorial tablet was made of the most ordinary wood, the ancestor's soul fragment was residing inside.
It was so hard that even a cannon might not be able to crack it.
She didn't believe that this evil statue could be so powerful that it could withstand a blow from their ancestor.
The little bun swung her arm and threw the wooden tablet at the position of the warm jade.
"Clang... Pat... Crash..."
In an instant, the evil statue was cut in half at the waist, and the entire section of the waist was shattered into pieces.
The warm jade that was hit directly turned into powder, which showed the power of the blow.
The thrown wooden tablet was unscathed. Except for a bit of dust, not even a corner was broken.
This scene stunned everyone except Shen Weixun.
When Niannian first attacked the statue, they wanted to stop her, but their legs seemed to be out of control and they couldn't move at all.
When they saw that the statue didn't shatter, they heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the child was overestimating herself and trying to destroy something that their ancestors had worshipped for a hundred years.
When Niannian threw the wooden tablet the second time, they thought the little girl was just acting out of anger.
After all, if such a hard jade couldn't do anything to the statue, how could a small wooden tablet?
But the statue really shattered.
The statue that their ancestors had worshipped for a hundred years and passed down through generations was shattered...
Shen Weixun quietly retracted his hand hidden in his sleeve. A bunch of copper coins quietly floated back into his sleeve when no one noticed.
At the same time, those who were standing still on the spot knelt on the ground one by one with a thud.
Their feet regained their senses and they could finally move, but their actions were meaningless at this moment.
Shen Weixun looked at their dejected expressions with satisfaction and nodded secretly.
Well, hiding his merits and fame. No need to thank.
Before these people could react, Shen Weixun ran to the back, picked up Niannian in one go, tucked her under his arm, and jumped out of a random window.
He rushed back to the small courtyard as fast as he could. There were already many pursuers shouting behind them.
When they stood at the door of the house, the pursuers caught up.
The Hu family members blocking the courtyard gate glared at them angrily, with fierce expressions on their faces, as if they were looking at their sworn enemies.
There were roughly dozens of them.
But facing such a large number of people surrounding them, Niannian and Shen Weixun remained very calm, which made the surrounding people feel extremely nervous.
"Still not giving up after chasing us here? This is our territory now."
Shen Weixun smiled wickedly, sending chills down people's spines.
The cunning in his eyes was like looking at some monkeys that had been played with.
"This is the Hu family! When did it become your Shen family's territory?! Destroying the statue, even if you're from the Shen family and the head of the Shen family, you can't be forgiven!"
"All of you, go and capture them. If the ancestors and the gods get angry, none of us will survive!"
The leading man was extremely angry. His eyes seemed to want to devour these two children alive.
How important was the statue to them? They were even willing to fight the Shen family to the death!
Shen Weixun became even more curious about that statue, but this wasn't the time to think about such things.
Seeing them all shouting and acting aggressively, Niannian pushed open the door of the house with her head facing inside.
Dozens of ghosts crowded in the house suddenly came into everyone's view.
The Hu family members' faces changed greatly, and the ghosts in the house had green glints in their eyes.
