Chapter 3 Turns out I'm not even a ghost
At this moment, Zhang Fengjiu's eyes rested on a gray task chain. He was curious and clicked on it. The text description that followed made his face change drastically, and the anger in his chest was almost overwhelmed.
Special mission (suspicion of the death of the host): [Find out the reason why the golden elixir is broken, find and kill the family traitors]
This short sentence has clearly stated that Zhang Fengjiu's failure to attack the golden elixir was caused by someone else! And he was also a member of the family!
"Originally, I thought it was a forced death by the system, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a traitor in the Zhang family!" Zhang Fengjiu gritted his teeth with a fierce look in his eyes.
"The person who can attack me quietly must be someone close to me, and it is absolutely impossible to accomplish it by relying on one's own strength alone. There must be the involvement of external forces here!"
Zhang Fengjiu calmed down and began to analyze step by step.
"As a member of the Zhang clan, he was so rebellious and colluded with outsiders to murder his ancestors. It's simply..."
Zhang Fengjiu, who turned into a transparent body, floated in the air, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Humph, no one involved in this matter can escape!"
After a long while, he swiped his finger and returned to the system interface where he started. When he first looked at it, he felt something was wrong. Now this feeling is getting stronger.

"This data is not accurate. The population is 565? The population exceeded 800 before I went into retreat. Instead of rising over the years, it has declined?
What's wrong! The spiritual stone savings are less than 30,000? The last time I checked the accounts twenty years ago, the account book showed that the entire family's total wealth at that time was more than 100,000 spiritual stones. It has shrunk so much in just twenty years?
There are also four spiritual veins and two spiritual source mines in Wuyan Mountain. This data is even more wrong!
Back then, the Zhang family controlled twelve spiritual veins and six spiritual source mines.
This territorial issue is even bigger, with 30% in Luoyan County, 70% in Hongyu County, 60% in Xiaogui County, and 50% in Java County.”
Zhang Fengjiu looked surprised, "You had 100% control back then, right?!"
It's no wonder he had this reaction. Twenty years is a long time for a mortal, but for a cultivating family, it can't be considered time at all.
Only twenty years have passed, and the entire family's wealth and sphere of influence have shrunk so much?
No one believes this!
"No, this is a system. How could something go wrong with the existence of Golden Finger?" Zhang Fengjiu suddenly reacted and thought deeply.
"Is it possible that our Zhang family has a prodigal son who has squandered a large amount of the family's wealth? This is wrong, and it has nothing to do with the decrease in territory and population!"
Zhang Fengjiu rubbed his chin, feeling more and more uneasy as he thought about it.
"During my absence, the family..." He frowned and uttered three words, "Something happened."
Obviously, during the twenty years that Zhang Fengjiu was in seclusion, the entire Zhang family suffered a big crisis, which led to the decline of both wealth, territory and population!
Thinking of the traitors who murdered him and the crisis that his family was currently in, Zhang Fengjiu realized the seriousness of the matter.
"In this case, I have to go over immediately and take a look." Zhang Fengjiu said eagerly.
He has been in seclusion for twenty years and has no idea of the current situation of the Zhang family. Although he is dead, he has the ancestral system and is confident that under his leadership, the family will embark on the road to eternal prosperity.
This may be another transformation of belief.
Zhang Fengjiu's hermitage room was built on the mountain behind Zhang's house. Medicinal plants with strong aura grew around the cave, and a small river flowed around it. Occasionally, some white cranes would pass by with their wings spread and their crows heard.
Everyone in the Zhang family knows that their ancestors are practicing in seclusion there, and their ancestors have clearly stipulated that apart from the clan members responsible for garrisoning, only the head of the family is qualified to approach that place.
Controlling the transparent body and passing through numerous restrictions, Zhang Fengjiu quickly floated out of the cave.
"Hey, tell me, what happened to the family these years? Life has gotten worse and worse."
A sigh and helpless words sounded outside the cave.
Zhang Fengjiu was stunned. He stopped, his toes were suspended in mid-air, and he looked down.
At the bottom at the moment, there are two tribesmen who are responsible for guarding the cave. They are still relatively young, about twenty years old, and they are both at the fourth level of the Qi training stage.
Obviously, these two are newcomers, because Zhang Fengjiu had never met them twenty years ago, but he could feel a sense of closeness from their blood.
"It seems that he is a little guy who has grown up over the years." Zhang Fengjiu said.
With a thought in his heart, he started to float downwards and came to the front of these two tribesmen.
"It's strange, I really didn't notice it at all."
Zhang Fengjiu saw that the two people had no reaction at all, as if they regarded him as nothing, and still stared ahead.
It stands to reason that monks in the Qi training period are on the road to spiritual practice no matter what, and they are already aware of ghosts and ghosts. Why is there no reaction at all now?
In this world of cultivation, the kind of ghosts that circulate on the earth were born. They have no entity and are invisible to people without cultivation with the naked eye. Only those who have embarked on cultivation can feel it and use magic to spy on it.
Body shape.
Zhang Fengjiu, who has been in the spiritual world for many years, has seen it before, and even personally killed many evil spirits who tried to harm the people late at night.
"What do you mean, I'm not even a ghost?"
Zhang Fengjiu's face was ugly and his eyes were deep in thought.
He raised his eyes and looked at the bright golden sun hanging in the sky. The sun was shining down, and he was within this range without any obstruction.
"It seems that I am really not even a ghost..." Zhang Fengjiu pulled a wry smile on his lips and shook his head.
No matter how powerful a ghost is, its own attribute is Yin, and as long as it is slightly exposed to the sun, it will have terrible consequences of dissipating.
But now Zhang Fengjiu is in the sun without any discomfort. It can be seen that he has escaped the category of ghost.
"My body is dead. I am not even a ghost now. Do I only retain my consciousness?" Zhang Fengjiu frowned and guessed.
After a while, he shook his head and sighed, "It seems that the ancestral system preserved my consciousness and gave me a chance to continue to live in this world."
"That's all, that's it. Since this ancestral system is so magical, maybe after I raise my level to the top, there might be a way to resurrect me."
Zhang Fengjiu smiled casually and couldn't help comforting himself in his heart.
