Marry a eunuch to catch demons

Chapter 71: Human Heart and Ghosts

In early summer, although the night is dark, there is still some warmth in the evening wind.

Xie Zhen pushed open the diamond window in the study, and the moonlight shone on the water surface of the small pond, reflecting a shimmering wave.

Behind him, a desk lamp was shining on the desk, and the warm light illuminated several small objects around through the porcelain lampshade painted with roses.

Secretly sealed ledgers, blood-stained money notes, copper daggers, and...a small golden clock about two inches long placed on the corner of the table.

Xie Zhen sat back at the table, looked at the objects in front of him, and silently lit the half stick in his hand.

He rarely does this, simply smoking.When the slightly bitter smell overflowed his mouth, it didn't bring him any entertainment, but sometimes it made his thoughts clearer.

Tie Luohan, such a person, extended his life by absorbing luck and beast spirit.

Together with Taoist Changya, he first bewitched Meng Liangwu, the steward of the Fuyue class, and absorbed the luck of life through him, and took it for his own use.

At the same time, he used the village in the middle of the mountain to refine the beast soul, but then the two parties fell out because of some differences, and Chang Ya died during it. However, in order to protect his identity from being leaked, he ordered Meng Liangwu to destroy the judge in the village. It aroused the backlash of beasts and slaughtered the entire village.

After Xie Zhen eradicated Meng Liangwu, he took control of the ghosts with lanterns in the school again, and continued to use even more vicious means to absorb luck for him. At the same time... he also tried to use the special dagger to kill Xie Zhen life.

Right now, everything seems to be connected into a dark thread with luck and beast spirit, but——

Xie Zhen felt that there seemed to be more than that.

His eyes fell heavily on the lamp and the sharp dagger.Xie Zhen could feel that it was made of the same material as the bronze mirror that trapped the female corpse before, and... this kind of copper material seemed to suppress the half-bell in his body that could not be ignored.

Ye Ge wanted to comfort him wholeheartedly, saying that the money note with the blood stamp on it might just happen to come from the Xie family's bank, but Xie Zhen knew in his heart that this matter might have something to do with the Xie family.

Regardless of the other things, let's just talk about the matter of the bronze mirror, which lasted for several years. If it weren't for the people inside the Xie family, how could it be possible to seize the timing so precisely and lure Xie Chonghe to bring the bronze mirror to him.

But if it's really thanks to the family...

Xie Zhen took a deep breath again, who on earth could do such an inhumane thing for his own selfishness.

There was a slight sound from the door of the study, and Ye Ge stepped in lightly and walked in slowly.A faint white smoke remained in the room, and as he walked, it seemed to linger across the corner of his clothes.

Xie Zhen noticed the movement by the door, looked up and said with a smile: "Why is the pigeon here, can't you sleep?"

"Yes," Ye Ge came over and lay down on Xie Zhen's back, with a hoarse voice rustling: "Mr. is not here, I can't sleep."

Xie Zhen bowed his head and kissed Ye Ge's hand, then turned around and hugged his little pigeon on his lap: "It's my fault, I should have gone back to accompany you."

Ye Ge put her arms around Xie Zhen's neck and put her head on his shoulders. After summer, the thin gauze shirts couldn't block their body temperature, but the breeze coming through the window eased the heat a bit.

"Then Mr. Hug me back now, okay? It's already late at night, those things...Let's think about it until tomorrow."

Xie Zhen caressed Ye Ge's back without saying a word, and then brought over the little golden clock at the corner of the table.

"What is this?" Ye Ge tilted his head and looked at the object in Xie Zhen's hand through the light. He saw that although the clock was made small, it was no different from the big clock hanging in the Buddhist temple, and it was even more delicate.On it is cast a statue of the Buddha, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and the appearance of great admiration.Around it, there are neatly and clearly engraved Sanskrit that Ye Ge doesn't understand, what kind of scriptures should it be.

"This is from the monk Yuanxiu, as a thank you gift for us to find the "Yasha Picture" for him." Xie Zhen put the little golden clock into Ye Ge's hand, and took a string of sandalwood beads from the drawer, and put it on. After passing the ring on the golden bell: "He said that this object is called the Requiem Bell, which can drive away evil spirits and appease the dead."

As Xie Zhen said, he hung the sandalwood bead string, together with the small clock hanging below, on the side of Ye Ge's placket button.

"Sir, did you give it to me?" Ye Ge fiddled with the golden bell, causing it to make a sound that was not annoying, and raised her face in Xie Zhen's arms.

"Yes, here you are," Xie Zhen brushed Ye Ge's pretty eyebrows with his hand, couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed his forehead, and murmured softly: "The monk Yuanxiu is used to boasting, but I don't need to." What kind of evil does it drive away, what kind of soul does it comfort, as long as it can protect my little pigeon well, that's enough."

Ye Ge was so itchy from his kiss, she couldn't help wrapping her arms around Xie Zhen's neck again, then the kiss gradually shifted, and fell gently on his lips...

The night wind suddenly tightened, and the unclosed books on the table rustled. After a long time of tenderness, the two separated slightly. The little pigeon's eyes dimmed, and she nestled in Xie Zhen's arms reluctantly.

Xie Zhen's hand was between Ye Ge's hair, stroking it again and again, until Ye Ge was about to feel sleepy, then he sighed softly and said, "Ge'er, the ninth day of next month is my second brother's birthday."

Ye Ge's slightly closed eyes opened suddenly. He straightened up and looked into Xie Zhen's eyes.

After a long while, he whispered firmly and earnestly: "I will go back with my husband."

After a few months, Ye Ge came to Xie's old house again, and Ye Ge looked out through the car window. The high threshold of the rich gate remained the same for a hundred years, but his mood was different.

"It's time to get out of the car." Xie Zhen shook his hand, Ye Ge turned his head, and the two looked at each other, first silent and then suddenly smiled tacitly.

"Well, let's get out of the car."

In the Xie family's mansion, the servants passed by in a hurry, busy to pick up the guests.

Although Xie Hong's birthday this time is not a complete birthday, the current Xie family is one of the most prosperous households in Cangcheng because of Xie Zhen's name.

Therefore, no matter what the reason was, there were an endless stream of guests who came to celebrate their birthdays.With Xie Zhen's return, the excitement in the front hall turned even more.

Ye Ge has now adapted to such a scene. He still stands by Xie Zhen's side as usual, calmly responding to the gazes of the people around him, and sometimes takes the initiative to greet and joke with people he recognizes. No one can fault him.

This time Xie Zhen went back to the old house, although he intended to test it out, but he was so busy socializing on such an occasion that he really didn't care about anything else.

It wasn't until noon that the banquet started and everyone was seated that they felt a little more relaxed.

It was also at this moment that Ye Ge had the time to secretly look at everyone in Xie's family.

Since it was to celebrate Second Master Xie's birthday, the main family of Xie's family brought a few side members, basically all who could come, the one sitting at the front of the table was naturally Xie Hong, this time the uncle Xie Wei gave up the seat to his brother, and laughed Stay by the side.Several wives and aunts were also there, even Mrs. Su, who didn't like to show her face after being a widow, changed into new clothes today, and went to the banquet to chat and laugh with the second wife.

Only, only the eldest wife is missing.

In the past few months, there has been no news of death from the Xie family, presumably the eldest wife is still alive.But... such a vicious long-tongued puppet is used on her own body, even if she doesn't die, it shouldn't be too easy.

The maids and servants walked between the banquets, presenting all kinds of gourmet delicacies continuously. Ye Ge was full of thoughts and naturally had no appetite. It was Xie Zhen who brought it to his mouth from time to time, so he ate a little.

Halfway through the banquet, the birthday congratulators frequently came to the main table, saying some scene-appropriate words.

As for the juniors, they also became lively, and it was more lively than the main table, causing Ye Ge to turn around to look at it frequently.

Unexpectedly, this look made him see an unexpected person.

Beside Su Wenli was sitting a handsome boy. Of course, Ye Ge would not admit that it was his elder brother Ye Jun.

Recalling the scenes of the previous meetings, it is not difficult to guess that Su Wenli should have invited him to Xie's house. As for whether he is a classmate or otherwise, it is hard to say.

At this time, Xie Zhen also happened to look over, and couldn't help frowning when he saw Ye Jun, and then asked Ye Ge in a low voice: "Do you want me to invite him out?"

Ye Ge was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head: "No, no need."

"It's just that I have nothing to do with him, and I'm not an enemy...Since Wen Li has invited him, it's better not to embarrass the little girl."

"Really?" Xie Zhen asked Ye Ge's face again and again.

But Ye Ge still insisted on shaking his head, and didn't allow Xie Zhen to do anything, and he didn't look there anymore, just pretending that there was no such person as Ye Jun.

The birthday banquet lasted until the afternoon, and the guests gradually dispersed. The protagonist, Xie Hong, was already so drunk that he passed out. It was the second wife and a few servants who helped him back to his room.

Foreign guests were invited at noon, and family banquets were held in the evening. Many things would be convenient to investigate at that time, so Xie Zhen and Ye Ge did not leave in a hurry, but stayed at Xie's house for the time being.

The servants began to clear away the cups and plates on the table, and the rest of the people also went back to various places together, but the uncle Xie Wei came to Xie Zhen leaning on a cane, looked up and down at his younger brother who hadn't seen him for several months, and finally sighed. Take a breath.

"Third brother, come with me to the study. There are some things at home that I need to discuss with you."

Naturally, Xie Zhen would not refuse, but he was worried about leaving Yege alone, so he brought him to Xie Wei's yard and asked him to sit under the shade of a tree for a while.
