Strange to say, there used to be quite a few villages on the Wuling Plain, but after Jizi finished singing "Recalling Qin'e", he walked for nearly an hour, but he didn't pass a single village along the way.

Zheng Liu was so angry that he whipped the bull that was pulling the cart, and said to Ji Zi, "You didn't lead the wrong way, did you?"

Ji Zi shrank his head and shook his head quickly.

"Then where is this place?" Zheng Liu looked around, only to see that the night was vast, and the field was so dark that he couldn't tell where was the sky and where was the road.

Ji Zi was stunned for a while, then replied, "I don't know."

Zheng Liu raised his whip and made a gesture to beat him, Ji Zi hurriedly ducked into the carriage with his head in his arms: "Mr. Wei Lang, save me!"

Wei Ti comforted him with a smile: "Zheng Liu was just trying to scare you, not for real."

After finishing speaking, he stared at the front with bright eyes, and pointed with his hand: "Look, we finally have somewhere to go tonight."

Zheng Liu looked along his fingers, and under the silhouette of the dark hills in the distance, there were not a few lights jumping in the shadows. Seeing that there was a family vaguely, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

The cow also seemed to be infected with his joy, and the pace of pulling the cart accelerated.

Seeing the two lanterns made of yellow paper getting closer, Ji Zi's face turned serious: "Isn't it extremely weird that people appear in this wilderness? Don't be some kind of ghost, I think we'd better take a detour to ask for help." Safety."

"You don't talk about strange power and chaos." Wei Ti has always been bold, informal, and doesn't take these things to heart at all, "This is near the Mausoleum of the Han Emperor. Even if it is not as prosperous as it was in Han Dynasty, there are still people living there. Walk like just now. It’s weird if there’s no one for a few miles, how can you say it’s weird now that there are people?”

Ji Zi insisted: "Xiaosheng, I feel restless, so it's better to avoid this house."

"Brother Ji is afraid of ghosts? It's okay, Zheng Liu is here, follow me and I will protect you." Wei Ti patted her chest, so proud that Ji Zi was in a daze for a moment, and before he noticed, the carriage had already arrived at the house In front of the gate.

The two lanterns were hung in front of the gate. Although it was not a high-rise mansion, the stone carvings at the gate were gorgeous and exquisite. Although the copper shop head with two monster patterns on the vermilion gate looked hideous, it was also interestingly carved.

"Look, the owner who lives here is probably very elegant. Brother Ji, please get out of the car with me." Wei Ti jumped out of the car lightly, then turned around and saw that Ji Zi was still holding on to the wooden handrail resolutely. refused to come down.

"Mr. Wei Lang, brother Wei, can we not go?"

Seeing his uncharacteristically childish behavior, Wei Ti laughed and said, pretending to be old-fashioned: "Brother Ji, why don't you come down soon? If there is a ghost, this is where it haunts in the wilderness. If Brother Ji doesn't enter the popular place The house suppresses evil spirits, I'm afraid it will be carried away by ghosts on the night road."

After speaking, he grabbed Ji Zi's hand and dragged him down.

Feeling that the other party's fingers were cold, Wei Ti only thought that Ji Zi had been blown all the way and was freezing all over his body, and couldn't help turning his head to look at him more. Under the dim light, Ji Zi's handsome face turned out to be like paper Pale.

Wei Ti hurriedly took Ji Zi's hand to knock on the vermilion gate, Ying Tianci was already asleep in the car, at this time Zheng Liu carried him out wrapped in a brocade, and followed behind Wei Ti.

"Is there anyone please?"

Wei Ti knocked on the door for a while, only to see that the door creaked open a thin crack, and a big eye looked out curiously through the thin crack, which startled everyone first.

A delicate female voice came from the door: "Why are the guests knocking on my master's door?" When the door was opened, it turned out to be a little girl who was only eleven or twelve years old.

"My lady, we passed by Guizhuang, and we had nowhere to go late at night. We want to stay overnight. Wanwang can do it conveniently." Wei Ti bowed politely, and then confessed all her intentions.

The little girl blinked her eyes twice, and replied: "Wait a minute, I will ask the master." As soon as the words fell, the door closed again.

Wei Ti got bored waiting, so she shook her hands and ran to study the cloud tiles on the eaves.

"This pattern is very similar to the rubbings in my elder brother's collection. The owner of this house must have the same taste as elder brother..." He said to himself, because elder brother has many friends who like to make antique bricks and tiles and even furniture , so it is not surprising.

Under the shadow of the tree, Ji Zi's eyes darkened slightly, but he was noisy all the way, and it was rare for him to be quiet for a moment at this time, with his hands behind his back and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After waiting for a long time, the vermilion gate finally opened again, and there was a deep courtyard inside. Two rows of maidservants with hanging buns were standing on both sides with chain lanterns in their hands. The little girl who opened the door earlier stood at the front and said with a smile: "Master!" Invite some guests in."

Only then did Wei Ti realize that she was dressed in the same attire as the other little maids, wearing a deep skirt with a white background and green dark flower borders.

After entering the front hall, the room was furnished in Chinese style. On the group table in the middle, a young man in a rose-red tulle Zen robe was sitting upright. He was about 20 years old, with black hair in a bun. On the top of the head, it is fixed with a white jade hairpin, without a crown.

Two chandelier lamps were lit on both sides of the group seats, and the base was a hollowed-out deer-shaped carving, and the little fire light danced on the copper lamp supported by the scattered antlers.When Wei Ti turned on the light and saw the master's face clearly, she couldn't help being surprised.

The man was kneeling and sitting in the old house late at night, wearing a bright pink gauze, it was extremely strange, but this man's appearance was bright and charming, with a face as thin as a lotus, red lips lightly pursed, and the corners of his mouth With a smile, a pair of charming red phoenix eyes, brows tucked into the temples, but it adds a bit of heroism to this face.

The brothers in Wei Ti's family are also handsome and elegant people. I have seen many handsome young men in Luoyang, but I have never seen anyone who is more beautiful than my eyes. I can't help but stare at the same place for a while, thinking silently: Could this person in front of me be the fox fairy described in the legend?

Seeing Wei Ti in a daze, the host could not help but chuckled: "Why is this young gentleman in a daze?"

Wei Ti blushed a little when he smiled, and hurriedly argued: "I just think that Xiongtai looks like an old friend..."

This sentence was originally used to get close, calling it to other people may be considered frivolous, but Wei Ti said it innocently, with a pair of clear eyes, it will not be annoying.

"Old man?" The handsome man repeated these two words, lowered his head slightly, and smiled again with half-closed eyes, "I was also very friendly when I first met you, I don't know how to call you?"

"My surname is Wei Mingti. This is my servant Zheng Liu. He is holding my younger brother's nephew Ying Tianci. He is still asleep. I hope you can forgive me for not being able to salute..."

Wei Ti hadn't finished the introduction, but the host cast a pair of beautiful eyes behind her: "I don't know who this is?"

Only then did Ji Zi flash out from behind Wei Ti, and made a random bow: "Xiaosheng Jizi, you must meet a beautiful woman, and you will be lucky in your life."

The master also narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Wei Ti looked left and right, she was really beautiful and handsome, a good couple, but why did they both smile with meaning.

"Everyone has had a hard time traveling. I have asked the maid to arrange a place to live. Let's rest first."

The owner was also surprised, he didn't intend to declare his family, turned around and disappeared behind the screen.

Wei Ti and Ji Zi shared a bedroom, Ying Tianci was still young and needed someone to take care of her, so she shared a bedroom with Zheng Liu.

Wei Ti was alone in the room, and soon a servant brought hot water. After taking a bath, he took off his coat and lay down on the couch.

The fragrant cakes burning in the room have a familiar smell, and a wisp of light smoke curls up from the Boshan stove placed on the table. The three fairy mountains on the sea are carved on the Boshan stove, which was extremely prosperous among the nobles of the Han Dynasty. Dipterocarpus and styrax were introduced from the South China Sea during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The nobles made these spices into fragrant cakes and burned them in the furnace. The fragrance is pure and there is no smoke.

All the lights in the room have been extinguished, except for a lantern hanging on the corridor outside the window, which still casts some ghostly light through the plain screen window.

Wei Ti looked up at the picture of Ascension to Immortal embroidered on the light purple curtain, and was drowsy when suddenly a gust of wind whizzed by, and a small oil lamp that had been extinguished beside the Boshan stove suddenly lit up in blue The flames were burning, and there was a figure looming behind the white gauze screen.

Wei Ti was taken aback, and quickly touched the dagger by the bed into her arms, seeing the figure turn out from behind the screen, it was the master in the rose red Zen robe, only her black hair was loose, and her face was greenish green There is something slightly scary in the lighting.

"It turns out that the master came to visit late at night." Wei Ti let out a long sigh of relief, and used her sword to light up the oil lamp a little, and the warm yellow light immediately filled the room.

"I'm here to ask Mr. Wei Lang to read a book." The host looked solemn, with his brows slightly frowned, completely different from the anger and joy when he met the guest just now.

Wei Ti's youthful heart, although he felt a little strange, did not think about it, so he followed his master and walked out of the house.

Holding a lotus-shaped gilt-silver copper lamp with a chain in his hand, the owner led Wei Ti around the long and winding corridor, and then through the garden path, before coming to a Tang Di.

"Buried it under this tree."

Wei Ti was worried, do you still want me to dig up the soil?But he was easy-going by nature and didn't mind, so he drew out his dagger and started digging.

At this time, the master standing behind him watched silently for a while, and suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the master was nowhere to be seen, only a gold-plated silver lotus lamp was placed on the ground to continue to illuminate Wei Ti.

Wei Ti seemed to have never heard of these changes, he only felt that the things buried in the soil had a huge attraction for him, and he concentrated all his mind on them.

Finally, a delicate sandalwood box was dug out. Wei Ti lifted the box out of the floating soil on the surface, and opened it carefully...I saw a few rolls of bamboo slips inside, all wrapped in silk bags, and the mouth of the bag was tied with silk rope .

Wei Ti casually picked out a roll, pulled the silk rope away, took the bamboo slips from it, and unfolded it.

It turned out to be a volume of soul-inducing secrets from the Han Dynasty. The person who wrote this method told the emperor in a secret letter that if it is used properly, no matter what wife or general, as long as His Majesty is willing, you can use it. Can be summoned to serve in front of the imperial court, just like in life.

Wei Ti only felt that she was in the excitement of prying into the unknowable secret, as if she was a different person, and she just wanted to destroy the secret quickly, not to let that person know.

The trembling Lieutenant Ti who didn't belong to him silently brought the bamboo slips closer to the jumping flames in the lantern...until a strange man's shout woke him up:

"what are you doing?!"
