I soared after being forced to marry
Work related
eternal life.Rare to see in ten thousand years.
Now it was Tang Yi's turn to be dumbfounded.
"Actually, I wasn't in a hurry." The peacemaker Xie Bi'an came out to smooth things over.
"To tell you the truth, the judge's pen is missing right now, and there are still people whose birth and death dates have not been clearly written in the life and death book. The common people are afraid that they will suffer."
Xie Bi'an opened the book of life and death and pointed it out to Tang Yi.
As he said, some people only wrote the date of birth, but not the year of death.
It's just that Tang Yi didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but Tang Yi found his name in the book of life and death at a glance, and he only wrote one line of birthday.
"But it's actually not difficult to find." Fan Wujiu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and winked at him, "After all, there is only one half-spiritual body in Yangjian."
"There is only one half-spiritual body in Yangjian." Fan Wujiu hesitated for a moment, put away the restless expression on his face, blinked with a smile, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.
Tang Yi: "..."
-
The young man lowered his brows slightly, and said with a hint of sadness, "If I need to take action, I will definitely not just sit idly by, but now that the ghouls appear in the world, we have to investigate. I will take care of you, both of you If you encounter trouble in the future, just send someone to send a message to me, and I will definitely do my best to help."
"In this way, thank you Daoist Tang." After Xie Bi'an said, he reached out and took out a gray token with a strange pattern on it, and handed it to Tang Yi himself.
"Now, all affairs in Fengdu are under the management of the ghost emperor of Fengdu. It's just that this emperor has a very strange temperament and rarely shows up. Even ghost messengers and ghost officials can't ask him to move, so he has to be summoned by ghost charms." Now he has to save his life. youth.
"Okay." Although Tang Yi agreed, he didn't take it seriously.
To put it bluntly, even having something to do with black and white impermanence was not in the imagination of a person like him who likes to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, let alone Wufang Ghost Emperor.
Even if I borrowed ten courage from him, I would not dare to provoke him.
Say goodbye to the impermanent two, the sky is about to dawn.
Because he was on the road alone, he was scrutinized by many curious ghosts, and he had long been used to it.But by nature, the ghost who is sensitive to blood immediately noticed that the Taoist priest in front of him still had wounds on his body.
It's a pity that Tang Yi was carrying the Tongtian Sword on his back, because he kept a cold face on the road and never stopped for a moment, giving people a feeling of repulsiveness.
The ghost just looked at him, but no one dared to go forward.
A ray of dawn gradually emerged in the sky.
The ghosts seemed to be frightened, and they all disappeared in an instant.
Now, go to the gate of the mansion.
The young man who was flying in the air floated down, Tang Yi touched the palm of his cloth-wrapped hand and looked ahead, he paused, for a moment he thought he had lost sight.
Tang Yi asked in surprise, "It's clear?"
Since Ming came towards him, seeing his tired face, he stretched out his hand to support him.
It was true that Tang Yi was exhausted from running all the way. Seeing this, his hairy head was buried on his shoulder, and he whispered the man's name twice.
The person in front of him only felt that his heart was being scratched by a kitten.
"I'm here." Ming Ming stiffened, but still responded softly.
He stood there and wanted to pat him on the back, but when Ming just stretched out his hand, he hesitated and froze in mid-air, and finally landed on his back.
After a while, the sound of even breathing came.
Jiming: "..."
-
Tang Yi fell asleep very soundly.
Opening his eyes, he saw Yuan Yuan beside him, and the little guy sitting on the side of the bed was delighted when he saw him wake up, "My lord, the Yin Division sent a portrait."
He hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't react. It wasn't until he stretched out his hand to take the scroll that he remembered Wuchang's request, and hurriedly unfolded it to read.
Although Tang Yi didn't dare to say he was well-informed, he had dealt with many people when he was hunting ghosts, and he had seen countless people, but now he frowned slightly when he saw the portrait.
A round head with three vertical forks.
A chubby body, a pair of mung bean-like eyes.
"Knock knock" came a knock on the door, and Ming came in with a food box.
"Is your health better?" Tang Yi was sitting on the couch, he still stepped forward to touch his forehead a little uneasy, but luckily it didn't really burn.
The person on the bed looked up at him suspiciously.
Only then did Mingli explain to him, "I saw that you were injured, and you were a little hot when you came back, so I changed your clothes for you without authorization and wiped your body."
Tang Yi thought for a while, his eyes flickered, "It's okay, I have been practicing Taoism all year round, and my body is hotter than ordinary people." After thinking for a while, he lowered his head and glanced at the cloth strips wrapped in his hands, "It's ashamed to say, yes Accidentally scratched.
Ming stared at his hand, but his eyes were dim.But soon the man pursed his lips and smiled as if he believed Tang Yi's words, and called him briskly to come down for lunch.
After tidying up, the young man sat at the Eight Immortals table and drank porridge, but Song Yang was nowhere to be seen, so he couldn't help asking for news about him, since he clearly said that he went to the river to play in the water.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he said Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived.Song Yang's shirtless body was still covered with water, and he ran in with a grass carp in his hand, grinning.
It's just that Tang Yi chased Song Yang to take a bath as soon as he entered the door.
"I'm planning to go to Fengdu to unveil the list." At the table of the Eight Immortals, Ji Ming suddenly said to him.
Hearing the words, the young man asked incomprehensibly, "Expose the list?"
Jiming nodded, "It's Fengdu's arrest notice."
Seeing that he was still puzzled, Jiming explained: "The Great Living Hell in Fengdu is a place where ghosts who commit crimes, commit crimes, and die without repentance are sent to be tortured. Because they couldn't stand the torture, some ghosts died. He will find an opportunity to escape from hell to the underworld, and Fengdu will arrest him."
"There will be clear portraits, names, and various physical features on the arrest notice for those who reveal the list to choose, and they will also provide magic tools to find traces."
Tang Yi's heart moved, "As long as you catch a ghost, you can get money?"
"Indeed, as long as you submit the ghost to the ghost guard in charge within a certain period of time, you can get a reward." He raised his brows, seeing that he was obviously interested in it, but he hesitated Did not continue to say.
After dinner, Tang Yi and Jiming suggested to go for a walk in the street.
Originally, I planned to go to Zhou Ji Clothing Shop, talk to Zhou Chengfang and let Miss Ah Lian learn to sew clothes with her, so that she can master a craft to make a living.
Not far away, I saw a crowd of people in front of a family.The concierge knocked on the gong in front of the door and kept yelling, "Come and have a look."
Ji Ming was puzzled, "Master Daoist, what are you doing?"
From a distance, I saw the people surrounding the door, pointing and pointing.Tang Yi took a few glances and couldn't see anything, so he shook his head, "I don't know, let's go and see!"
With the mentality of watching the excitement, he pulled Jiming forward.
As soon as the two approached the crowd, they saw several Taoist priests in Taoist robes coming out of the mansion shaking their heads, and the people hurriedly made way for them.
"Little brother," Tang Yi patted the shoulder of the young man beside him, "Do you know what happened in this house and why there are so many people around the door?"
"Hey, the Wang family paid a lot of money for Taoist priests to catch ghosts." The young man explained to him.
"Wang's family?" It's really not his fault that he can't remember clearly, because there are not a few wealthy and powerful businessmen in Lianzhou City, but eight out of ten are surnamed Wang.
The young man said: "The shopkeeper of Yuelai Restaurant, his original name seems to be Wang Jiagui."
Tang Yi nodded clearly, and then asked, "Did anyone catch it?"
"Not yet," the young man pointed to the gate of the mansion, and continued: "The few Taoist priests who went in before all returned without success, and the Wang family probably recruited murderous ghosts."
"So that's the case, thank you brother!"
-
"Brother Ming, just now I heard someone say that there is a ghost in the palace."
Wang Jiagui, this name is so familiar, he said it silently several times in his heart.
"—So it's him!" Tang Yi couldn't help exclaiming when he suddenly figured it out.
"Why?" Ji Ming looked at him, "The Taoist priest knows the people in the mansion?"
Tang Yi took a deep breath, "To tell you the truth, he is the name I saw with my own eyes in the book of life and death. His birthday is the third day of March, and his death year is Jinyezi."
As he spoke, he narrated the ins and outs of encountering impermanence, but the young man deliberately hid the part in the Qingfeng Temple, sighing repeatedly, and did not see the man's face.
A trace of uneasiness flashed across Ji Ming's face, he forced the corners of his mouth up and nodded.
Tang Yi stayed where he was for a long time, then raised his head and suggested, "Go into the mansion and have a look!"
Since Ming glanced at him, "Alright."
The case of Lin Nanzhu reminded him that sometimes ghosts commit crimes not because they actively want to provoke each other, but because they are forced to use them as tools for harming others.
Thinking of this, Tang Yi pulled him into the crowd again.
"My servant, Qingfeng is watching Tang Yi." He smiled at the doorman, was smacking at Zhiming's identity, and wanted to say that he was a book boy, but he stopped talking.
Since Ming's clothes are extremely luxurious, it is more believable to say that he is the young master.
Tang Yi had no choice but to change the topic: "This one is my friend."
"You two, please wait here. The villain will pass the message immediately." One of the gatekeepers bowed and said very politely, then turned around and ran into the mansion.
After a while, the concierge came running back, "Master Daoist, my master is here to invite you."
The spectators outside the door were talking about it.
Someone in the crowd asked puzzledly, "Which Taoist temple is Qingfeng Temple?"
"Little brother, you must have just come from another place. Qingfeng Temple is the most famous Taoist temple in our Lianzhou." The person with good things jumped out to answer.
"I heard that one of Daoist Liu's apprentices has ascended!"
"so smart?"
"That's natural."
☆, Shi Qing
Wang Jiagui and Xu ordered people to prepare tea to welcome them.
As soon as Tang Yi and Jiming entered the palace, Wang Jiagui and Mrs. Xu greeted them with smiles, took him by the hand and called him Taoist Tang.
"Shopkeeper Wang, you're welcome." Wang Jiagui's enthusiasm overwhelmed him, and he withdrew his hand calmly, "Shopkeeper Wang, this is my friend. You know. We heard that your house is haunted, so we are here to meet you." Find out."
Wang Jiagui waved his hand, "What is the Taoist priest talking about? The Qingfeng Temple is very famous in Lianzhou. The Taoist priest can visit the humble house and make the humble house flourish."
"Treasurer Wang," Tang Yi asked straight to the point, "I wonder if you could tell us about the haunting in detail, so that we can come to a conclusion."
Wang Jiagui originally wanted to say a few words on the scene, but when he saw him driving straight to the point, he nodded blankly, "Master Daoist, this matter is really a long story."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce, this is Mrs. Xu, my concubine."
Mrs. Xu showed displeasure when she heard the words, but she could only agree with her with a smile.
"Come on, both of you, please move into the hall. I'll talk to you carefully." After Wang Jiagui finished speaking, he made a 'please' gesture, and the two immediately followed.
Before leaving, Ji Ming turned his head and saw a servant girl hurriedly ran up to Xu Shi and whispered something in her ear.
After hearing this, Xu's face changed drastically, and she cursed in a low voice, "You bitch!"
Although the voice was very low, Ji Ming could still hear clearly.
-
"So, shopkeeper Wang, do you mean that the ghost of your dead wife is still in the palace and refuses to leave?" Tang Yi was dubious after hearing his words.
"That's right," Wang Jiagui sighed, "Other than that, I really can't figure out what other ghosts I might get into. I just hope her soul rests in peace."
"Treasurer Wang, although it may bring up your sadness, I still want to take the liberty of asking you, when did she leave?"
Wang Jiagui said: "Five days ago, I remember clearly."
"Oh?" Jiming's eyes immediately became sharper, "That is to say, in fact, the first seven years of your wife have not yet passed, but according to the custom, you should set up a funeral shed and set up a funeral banner. Why did the shopkeeper Wang put the funeral?" Has the banner been withdrawn?"
Wang Jiagui shook his head, "I didn't mean it. Mrs. Xu told me a few days ago that she had a severe headache when she saw the funeral banners. She couldn't eat or sleep well all day long."
"No, I ordered people to remove the funeral banners."
As Wang Jiagui spoke, he unconsciously twirled the jade finger on his index finger.
Tang Yi had a panoramic view of his little movements.
"So," Tang Yi followed his words, "Madam Zun's body should still be in the mourning hall, can you show us?"
Wang Jiagui muttered, "They have already sent someone to burn it."
"Burn!" Tang Yi and Ji Ming both looked at him in disbelief.
"When a person dies, the soul returns on the seventh day, which is called the 'first seven'. If the body is not there and has no bones attached, it will really become a lonely ghost. In order to find the dead body, the ghost will stay in the dead place; when encountering paranoid souls , I will never let it go until the body is found." Tang Yi took a deep breath and tried to gather his mind, "Let me ask you, have you ever done an autopsy to see the body?"
As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Xu pushed the door open and entered.
"Oh! She died of illness. We are afraid of bad luck, so how dare we let people see the dead body!" When talking about the main room, Mrs. Xu frowned and covered her nose with a silk handkerchief, and said impatiently: "Dead They're all dead, ghost hunting is important."
"Let her soul fly away, and she will never be reborn forever."
Jiming snorted coldly, Wang Jiagui was in his forties, Xu looked only in his early thirties, with a flowery face, but his heart was like a snake.
Tang Yi looked at her coldly, and said word by word, "Since you can all be sure that the ghost haunting the mansion is her, the cause of her death is of course very important."
"Remove the funeral banners and burn the corpse first," he continued with a mocking tone, "She can't find the corpse left or right, so of course her soul will stay in the mansion. If she really died of illness, it may It would only be one to three months, but if he hadn't died of illness..." Tang Yi showed a secretive smile as he spoke, which made Xu very startled.
He paused, then continued: "The ghost will haunt the murderer for a lifetime."
When Mrs. Xu heard an 'ah', the silk handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground.
After Mrs. Xu regained her composure, she was so excited that she stepped forward and grabbed Tang Yi's arm, "Master Dao, I didn't kill her, I didn't kill her!"
"Xu Rao!" Wang Jiagui called her sternly, but he couldn't reprimand her in public due to the presence of two outsiders, but there was a bit of impatience on his face.
"You two, because of the haunted house, her mood is not stable."
"It's understandable," Ming Ming came out to smooth things over, "Since that's the case, shopkeeper Wang will ask Madam to go back to her room to rest first, and it's not too late to discuss the matter of catching ghosts."
After all, he winked at the young man.
Tang Yi immediately understood, "Treasurer Wang, I think so, you tell us the room where Mrs. Zun lived, and we will take a look in the mansion first."
"This..." Wang Jiagui rolled his eyes, compromised and said, "Forget it, she lived in the first West Wing room on the west side, and you can see it when you go out the door and turn right."
"Thank you!"
Seeing them heading towards the West Wing, Mrs. Xu nudged Wang Jiagui with her elbow and called a maid, "Xiaoyu, follow them!"
-
"Second masters, the master ordered me to serve you."
Hearing this, Tang Yi raised his head and looked her up and down, "What's your name?"
"Respondent, my name is Xiaoyu." Xiaoyu's voice is pleasant, and she is quick in doing things. She is very fond of Xu Shi, and she is her personal maid.
"Xiaoyu," Tang Yi nodded and looked around, "Can you tell me about the haunted house, the more detailed the better." He asked along the way.
"Returning to the head of the Taoist priest, after the death of the eldest lady, there will often be ghosts walking back and forth in the mansion at night. The master, the second lady, and the second lady have all seen it."
"Second miss?" Jiming frowned.
"Yes, she is the second wife's daughter, her name is Wang Min."
Tang Yi thought for a while, "Go on."
"Several times, the second lady woke up in a dream, saying that she dreamed that the eldest lady was going to kill her herself in a deep sleep, which frightened the second lady so that she couldn't sleep at night."
"I heard that the eldest lady passed away due to illness." Tang Yi asked the question he was most concerned about at the right time, "Xiaoyu, what illness did the lady have?"
Xiaoyu's eyes flickered, "I'm a servant, so I don't dare to ask more questions, so I don't know the details of the slaves, I just listen to the master's words, it is a serious illness that cannot be cured."
"That's it," Tang Yi lowered his eyes slightly, and after a while, smiled at Xiaoyu as if he believed her words, "You go down first, I will call you if something happens."
Thinking of what the master explained, Xiaoyu hesitated for a while, then saw Jiming glanced at her with warning eyes.She had no choice but to respectfully respond.
Tang Yi looked at Jiming at the right time, "Do you think what she said is credible?"
"You have to believe it, let alone believe it completely," the man thought for a while, frowning and expressing his judgment, "If nothing else, just say that she has been by Xu's side all year round, a personal maid, logically speaking, and Mrs. Xu spends the most time together." Tang Yi nodded, agreeing with what he thought.
"As the saying goes, a master and a servant are of one mind," Ji Ming smiled, "so she knows some things about Xu's better than Wang Jiagui." The man's words had come to this, Tang Daochang still didn't understand what he meant, and he patted him with a smile his shoulders.
Tang Yi remembered meeting Xu just now, "As Xu is a person, of course I would talk to her about my wife." Xu has always been favored and arrogant.
Xiaoyu knew about Madam Xu's condition from Mrs. Xu's mouth, but when Tang Yi asked about it, he said he didn't know about it, only that it was a serious illness that could not be cured.
"So, there is only one possibility, she is lying." Ji Ming was sure.
"In this way, you and I will divide into two groups. I will go to the west wing where the eldest lady lived to investigate clues, and you will keep an eye on their movements."
Tang Yi calculated carefully, this matter must not be delayed any longer.
"Okay." Since he gave him a clear look, "it's better to be careful."
-
Avoiding the servants in the courtyard, Ji Ming jumped up and climbed onto the roof quickly.
He lifted the tile carefully, and at a glance, he saw Xu Shi and Wang Jiagui sitting at the Eight Immortals table directly below, and they seemed to be discussing something.
"In the hall, you saw it too. When the two of them heard that I was a concubine, they even looked at me differently. Wang Jiagui, let me ask you, when do you plan to let me be your wife? The real mistress of the royal family?"
The person who spoke was none other than Mrs. Xu, with an aggressive look.
"Rao Rao, when did they treat you disrespectfully?" Wang Jiagui was so angry that his face turned red, "Qing'er passed away less than a month ago, and now I help you to be the main wife, what do the neighbors think? Me!" His tone was harsh.
"Hmph, I finally understand, you, you, you only care about yourself, that bitch Shi Qing is dead, what are you afraid of! Once she dies, there will be two immortals left in the Shi family, and one Shi Ning. Once she gets married, the Shi family's huge family property will not belong to you and me." Xu said quite proudly.
"By the way," Mrs. Xu patted her head, "Just now Xiaoyu came back and said that the Taoist priest didn't let her accompany her, and asked her to go down first, and wanted to check Shi Qing's residence."
"Why are you panicking? I've already ordered people to clean up the room. Even if they find out something, they won't be able to produce any evidence. Dead people can't speak."
Wang Jiagui patted her hand to reassure her.
"There's also Shi Ning, a little bastard who has a very hard life. Xiaoyu said that she is very restless in the house, and she is just like her mother." Xu's face was slightly displeased, and she scolded harshly, "I'm afraid she It caused trouble, so I ordered someone to lock her up in the woodshed, and marry her off as soon as the news died down."
Wang Jiagui nodded, "Shi Ning is from the Shi family. Once she tells the whole story, it will be bad for us. You are still thoughtful!"
Ji Ming frowned slightly upon hearing this, and immediately stretched out his hands to cover the tiles.
-
Tang Yi pushed open the door of the west wing, and there was an unpleasant smell inside.
The young man was so choked that he couldn't help frowning, he saw that the bedding and pillows were scattered on the bed and seemed to have been turned, but compared to the table, it was very neat.
Wiping the edge of the window with his fingers, Tang Yi was slightly taken aback to find that there was not even a speck of dust on his hand, which meant that a servant had come to clean it.
Or, someone came to Madam's room and looked for something.
He went to look through the books on the shelf again, and found that his wife could read and write.
Tang Yi was a little surprised, and then he opened each book, only to find that there was a piece of letter paper sandwiched in one of the Book of Songs, with the word 'Ning'er' written on it.
It's just that the handwriting is slightly scribbled, and there are a few drops of blood on the paper.
"Ning'er." Who is this Ning'er?
☆, baby spirit
After Tang Yi put away the letter paper, he looked around the room.
He caught a glimpse of a bronze mirror standing beside the wall. He didn't know if he didn't notice it when he entered the door, or what, the bronze mirror in front of him was facing the dowry.
Coincidentally, there is also a bronze mirror on the dowry.
The two mirrors were facing each other, and Tang Yi's heart rang alarm bells.
As the saying goes, the flower in the mirror is the moon in the water.In terms of feng shui, the placement of mirrors is very well said. Two mirrors face each other, which is really regarded as a taboo.
At this moment, he was standing right in the middle, with mirrors in front and back.
His whole body was drenched with sweat, and when he took a closer look, his vague figure was reflected in the bronze mirror on the dowry, which was a real mirror.Looking at the other side, he froze.
There is nothing in the other mirror.
Tang Yi quickly took off his Taoist robe and covered the bronze mirror by the wall.
It was too late to say it, and it was so fast, just as the Taoist robe was about to be covered, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the room, and the Taoist robe fell to the ground, blowing so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, the scene in the room changed drastically.
With a musty smell, the cluttered room suddenly became bright and clean, and the room was spotless. He couldn't help being amazed.
Just when he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he glanced sideways at a woman with an orchid-like temperament sitting at the table reading a book.
Before Tang Yi could think about it, he saw a pretty girl rushing in through the door, and upon closer inspection, she looked six points like a girl.
The little girl held a round fan in her hand, combed a pair of hanging buns, picked orchid-shaped pearl hairpins to wear on her head, and wore a lake blue skirt, which made people look bright and charming.
Judging by his stature, he looks about fifteen or sixteen.
"Mother!" The little girl ran over and sat beside the woman.
Tang Yi watched the little girl pass through him with his own eyes.
He let out a sigh of relief just now, it turned out that all this was an illusion.
"Big Brother!" A voice instantly broke the silence.
It is a childish voice that is immature and ethereal.Although he couldn't hear the male and female, he could tell that most people could utter it. Tang Yi's body froze suddenly when he heard the words.
Turning around, I saw that the bright little girl had turned into a baby.
The baby was covered in bruises, and he grinned at him. The woman at the table was drinking tea leisurely, holding a book in her hand, and for a moment there was blood on the corner of her mouth.
It's a baby spirit!
Tang Yi pursed his lips, suddenly feeling bad.
-
The baby spirit in front of him was on all fours, and his body was not yet fully formed.
He did a rough calculation, and found that it was about two months, and the facial features on his face could not be seen as a human being at all, and he was babbling, but crawling at an amazingly fast speed.
Tang Yi exerted strength on his waist and skillfully rolled in the air. When he looked at Ying Ling, his mind turned a few times for a moment. Could it be that it is the wife's child?
"Little guy, I don't mean any harm." After a while, he knelt down and compromised.
Hearing this, Ying Ling was obviously taken aback for a moment, he tilted his head and stared blankly at him with a pair of eye sockets, wondering if what he said was true or not.
"You lied to me! You lied to me!" He turned around in a circle, as if he smelled an unusual smell in the air, and his temper suddenly became very irritable.
After finishing speaking, he opened his mouth and bit his arm with lightning speed.
"—Be careful!" It was too late to say it, but at that moment, a dragon and phoenix ring knife filled with gold and silver suddenly appeared from the void, and directly blocked Yingling's mouth.
Yingling bit down on the extremely hard Tang knife and lost a tooth.
In an instant, the surrounding scene was broken little by little, like a mirror that was originally intact was smashed by someone, leaving only a dazzling white light.
He looked down at the edge of the gold-embroidered black robe, and slowly closed his eyes before the illusion of the room was completely shattered, and the people beside him held his hand tightly.
Tang Yi's body froze suddenly, his voice softened involuntarily, "It's clear."
"I'm here."
After the dazzling light disappeared, the bronze mirror split from top to bottom.
"It's an illusion in the barrier." Ji Ming explained to him, looking at him intently, "I was worried that you would be in danger, so I broke the barrier just now."
Everything in the room became exactly the same as when he came in.
"You're not injured, are you?" Tang Yi frowned immediately, and pulled him to look him up and down for a while, finally he was relieved, but he couldn't help admonishing him a few words.
Breaking the barriers set by others from the outside is easy to get hurt.
"I'm fine, Taoist priest doesn't need to worry," Ji Ming heard a faint smile on his face, and he took out a jade bracelet wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, "This time, I got A very important item."
"Jade bracelet?" The color of the jade bracelet was so transparent that Tang Yi took a second look.
Ji Ming nodded, "With it, all mysteries can be solved."
"Mrs. Shi, I know you don't want to see us, but I think you should recognize this jade bracelet in my hand!" Ji Ming said, holding up the jade bracelet in his hand.
As soon as the voice fell, the wind suddenly picked up, making people shudder.
The woman holding the child slowly appeared, and the person in front of her was the woman Tang Yi had seen with his own eyes in the illusion, but her lips were purple now.
Mrs. Shi's face was stern, and her tone was not kind, "The one in your hand is the bracelet I gave to Ning'er. Where did you get it? What did you do to her?"
As she spoke, she was about to reach out to grab the bracelet in Jiming's hand.
Seeing her rushing towards the man, Tang Yi was taken aback for a moment, his body unexpectedly took a step ahead of his brain, and stood in front of Jiming.Quite a feeling of protecting the calf.
Mrs. Shi was not sure at first, but seeing Tang Yi holding a piece of red lettering paper between his index finger and middle finger, she stopped her hand almost immediately.
As everyone knows, although the talisman paper is burning with flames, it is just a piece of ordinary talisman paper.
Just to scare her.
"Mrs. Shi, don't get excited." Seeing this, Ji Ming returned the jade bracelet to her.
"The jade bracelet was given to me by Shi Ning himself."
-
Wang Jiagui and Xu seem to be very afraid of Shi Ning.
Therefore, while eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, since Ming learned from them that Shi Ning was imprisoned by Mrs. Xu in the firewood room, he immediately searched for the firewood room in the mansion.
Finally, he found an inconspicuous hut with four or five servants taking turns guarding the front and back, and there seemed to be something important inside.
He instantly thought of the 'Shi Ning' that Mrs. Xu said.
So, he immediately flew up, lifted the tiles and turned them down.
Sure enough, I saw a fifteen-year-old girl, but her hands and feet were tied, and a cloth was stuffed in her mouth. When she saw him, she whimpered and begged him for help.
The servant outside had very good ears and patted on the wooden door to keep her from barking.
Since Ming stretched out his hand and made a "shush" movement, Shi Ning immediately understood what he wanted to express and nodded.When Ming raised his hand, he cast a barrier.
Shi Ning didn't know what he was doing either, but he was muttering something in a low voice, and made movements with his hands to take out the cloth strip from her mouth.
"Are you here to save me?" The little girl looked at him timidly and asked.
"Yes, but you understand the situation outside." Ji Ming quickly untied the ropes on her hands and feet, and said, "Besides, I'm here for Madam."
Upon hearing this, Shi Ning said in shock, "My mother!"
The person in front of him was actually Shi Qing's daughter, so Mingdang described to her what he saw on the roof.The little girl's face became paler the more she heard it.
"They," Shi Ning's eyes were red after hearing everything the man said.
She took a deep breath, settled her mind and said, "But because of the shop owned by Shi's family, she was so ruthless that she even burned her body!"
"My condolences, girl."
"My lord, you don't need to take me out," Shi Ning said firmly in his eyes.
"There are four or five servants outside guarding the door. If you take me out directly, you will be troubled. If there are too many people, you will definitely sue my father."
As Shi Ning said, he took off the jade bracelet on his wrist, "My lord, this jade bracelet was given to me by my mother when she was alive. Give it to her and she will tell you everything."
"Okay!" Ming Ming responded, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and put it in his arms properly.
"They didn't harm anyone, they just turned into ghosts." Seeing that he really turned over and left, the little girl yelled at him with tears in her eyes.
"I know," Ji Ming paused, his indifferent eyes became more tender, and he said softly, "Because I'm also a ghost."
-
"I didn't expect them to be so frenzied!"
After hearing this, Shi Qing couldn't help but feel angry. When she remembered that she agreed to marry Wang Jiagui, she regretted it very much. She didn't expect that she would even involve the child.
Tang Yi rubbed his chin, "Wang Jiagui, is he actually the son-in-law?"
"My father and mother own twelve shops, among which Yuelai restaurant is also a big business that my parents have worked so hard to do. I am the only daughter in the family."
Shi Qing sighed slightly, "I don't know anything about business. My parents were afraid that I would not be able to do it well, so they recruited a son-in-law for me. He is Wang Jiagui."
Tang Yi and Ji Ming looked at each other, it's no wonder Shi Ning's surname is Shi.
"Since he is a married man, why did he take a concubine?" On this point, Tang Yi thought about it but couldn't figure it out. A married man is not qualified to take a concubine.
"She turned out to be a servant girl in the mansion. Wang Jiagui had an affair with her a long time ago, but I was kept in the dark. I didn't know until Ning'er was born."
Shi Qing felt disgusted when she recalled it, "Later, she told me that she was actually pregnant with a child, and begged me not to drive her away, crying."
"So, you asked the Wang family to take her as a concubine." Ji Ming let out a long sigh of relief.
"Yes," Shi Qing nodded, "If you don't take her into the house, Xu Rao and her children will still have no name or distinction, and will be looked down upon for the rest of their lives."
"I admit that I was moved with compassion and made a big mistake."
"Mrs. Shi has a bodhisattva heart, so there's no need to blame yourself too much." Seeing Shi Qingliu's eyebrows frowned, Tang Yi couldn't help explaining in a soft voice.
"Later, I found out that I was embarrassed again. I knew that my second child was about to be born, and I was still immersed in joy, but I didn't know that my personal maid, Xiaoyu, had been bought by Mrs. Xu long ago." trembling.
When Xiaoyu was mentioned, both Tang Yi and Ji Ming were surprised.
No wonder Xiaoyu asked about it and said she didn't know, but she didn't expect that there was such a relationship.
"She put poison in my anti-fetal medicine. Drinking the slow poison a few times will not kill her immediately. If things go on like this, she will die as long as the poison occurs."
Shi Qing let out a long sigh, with a distressed and gloomy face.
Tang Yi clenched his fingers into fists after listening to it, so Wang Jiagui and Xu had already planned everything in secret, and burned the corpse to wipe out all traces after the event was completed.
"I want to retrieve my body and take my child to reincarnate."
Shi Qing's eyes became dull, "It's just that when I think about it, they will attack my Ning'er, and even my parents."
"My heart is full of resentment and hatred. I wish I could rush over and kill them!"
"Mrs. Shi, please calm down. Before tonight, you can't do anything to Wang Jiagui, Xu Shi, and Heyu." Tang Yi immediately reminded her.
Seeing Shi Qing looking at him suspiciously, Tang Yi didn't say anything but pointed down to the ground with his finger and said, "It's not that we won't report, the time hasn't come yet."
There was a hint of surprise on Shi Qing's face, "My son was young, and I accidentally offended the Taoist priest just now. I will make amends on his behalf, and I hope the Taoist priest can forgive Haihan."
"It's okay," Tang Yi smiled heartily, and explained, "I've been soaking in medicinal baths all year round, and I've been tainted with the fragrance of red passion medicine, that's why he suddenly became irritable."
Red emotion is a common medicinal material among the people, and it can be made into a hemostatic wound medicine by grinding it into powder, which is high in quality and cheap, but ghosts hate red emotion very much.
It's just that the smell of this medicinal material is very weak, and it's hard for ordinary people to smell it.
But Shi Qing seemed a little absent-minded, looking at them with a bit of anxiety and entanglement in her eyes, and she immediately realized it.
"Mrs. Shi, don't worry." Ji Ming smiled frankly, "Although Miss Shi Ning is young, she is smart, and we will definitely help her."
Now it was Tang Yi's turn to be dumbfounded.
"Actually, I wasn't in a hurry." The peacemaker Xie Bi'an came out to smooth things over.
"To tell you the truth, the judge's pen is missing right now, and there are still people whose birth and death dates have not been clearly written in the life and death book. The common people are afraid that they will suffer."
Xie Bi'an opened the book of life and death and pointed it out to Tang Yi.
As he said, some people only wrote the date of birth, but not the year of death.
It's just that Tang Yi didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but Tang Yi found his name in the book of life and death at a glance, and he only wrote one line of birthday.
"But it's actually not difficult to find." Fan Wujiu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and winked at him, "After all, there is only one half-spiritual body in Yangjian."
"There is only one half-spiritual body in Yangjian." Fan Wujiu hesitated for a moment, put away the restless expression on his face, blinked with a smile, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.
Tang Yi: "..."
-
The young man lowered his brows slightly, and said with a hint of sadness, "If I need to take action, I will definitely not just sit idly by, but now that the ghouls appear in the world, we have to investigate. I will take care of you, both of you If you encounter trouble in the future, just send someone to send a message to me, and I will definitely do my best to help."
"In this way, thank you Daoist Tang." After Xie Bi'an said, he reached out and took out a gray token with a strange pattern on it, and handed it to Tang Yi himself.
"Now, all affairs in Fengdu are under the management of the ghost emperor of Fengdu. It's just that this emperor has a very strange temperament and rarely shows up. Even ghost messengers and ghost officials can't ask him to move, so he has to be summoned by ghost charms." Now he has to save his life. youth.
"Okay." Although Tang Yi agreed, he didn't take it seriously.
To put it bluntly, even having something to do with black and white impermanence was not in the imagination of a person like him who likes to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, let alone Wufang Ghost Emperor.
Even if I borrowed ten courage from him, I would not dare to provoke him.
Say goodbye to the impermanent two, the sky is about to dawn.
Because he was on the road alone, he was scrutinized by many curious ghosts, and he had long been used to it.But by nature, the ghost who is sensitive to blood immediately noticed that the Taoist priest in front of him still had wounds on his body.
It's a pity that Tang Yi was carrying the Tongtian Sword on his back, because he kept a cold face on the road and never stopped for a moment, giving people a feeling of repulsiveness.
The ghost just looked at him, but no one dared to go forward.
A ray of dawn gradually emerged in the sky.
The ghosts seemed to be frightened, and they all disappeared in an instant.
Now, go to the gate of the mansion.
The young man who was flying in the air floated down, Tang Yi touched the palm of his cloth-wrapped hand and looked ahead, he paused, for a moment he thought he had lost sight.
Tang Yi asked in surprise, "It's clear?"
Since Ming came towards him, seeing his tired face, he stretched out his hand to support him.
It was true that Tang Yi was exhausted from running all the way. Seeing this, his hairy head was buried on his shoulder, and he whispered the man's name twice.
The person in front of him only felt that his heart was being scratched by a kitten.
"I'm here." Ming Ming stiffened, but still responded softly.
He stood there and wanted to pat him on the back, but when Ming just stretched out his hand, he hesitated and froze in mid-air, and finally landed on his back.
After a while, the sound of even breathing came.
Jiming: "..."
-
Tang Yi fell asleep very soundly.
Opening his eyes, he saw Yuan Yuan beside him, and the little guy sitting on the side of the bed was delighted when he saw him wake up, "My lord, the Yin Division sent a portrait."
He hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't react. It wasn't until he stretched out his hand to take the scroll that he remembered Wuchang's request, and hurriedly unfolded it to read.
Although Tang Yi didn't dare to say he was well-informed, he had dealt with many people when he was hunting ghosts, and he had seen countless people, but now he frowned slightly when he saw the portrait.
A round head with three vertical forks.
A chubby body, a pair of mung bean-like eyes.
"Knock knock" came a knock on the door, and Ming came in with a food box.
"Is your health better?" Tang Yi was sitting on the couch, he still stepped forward to touch his forehead a little uneasy, but luckily it didn't really burn.
The person on the bed looked up at him suspiciously.
Only then did Mingli explain to him, "I saw that you were injured, and you were a little hot when you came back, so I changed your clothes for you without authorization and wiped your body."
Tang Yi thought for a while, his eyes flickered, "It's okay, I have been practicing Taoism all year round, and my body is hotter than ordinary people." After thinking for a while, he lowered his head and glanced at the cloth strips wrapped in his hands, "It's ashamed to say, yes Accidentally scratched.
Ming stared at his hand, but his eyes were dim.But soon the man pursed his lips and smiled as if he believed Tang Yi's words, and called him briskly to come down for lunch.
After tidying up, the young man sat at the Eight Immortals table and drank porridge, but Song Yang was nowhere to be seen, so he couldn't help asking for news about him, since he clearly said that he went to the river to play in the water.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he said Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived.Song Yang's shirtless body was still covered with water, and he ran in with a grass carp in his hand, grinning.
It's just that Tang Yi chased Song Yang to take a bath as soon as he entered the door.
"I'm planning to go to Fengdu to unveil the list." At the table of the Eight Immortals, Ji Ming suddenly said to him.
Hearing the words, the young man asked incomprehensibly, "Expose the list?"
Jiming nodded, "It's Fengdu's arrest notice."
Seeing that he was still puzzled, Jiming explained: "The Great Living Hell in Fengdu is a place where ghosts who commit crimes, commit crimes, and die without repentance are sent to be tortured. Because they couldn't stand the torture, some ghosts died. He will find an opportunity to escape from hell to the underworld, and Fengdu will arrest him."
"There will be clear portraits, names, and various physical features on the arrest notice for those who reveal the list to choose, and they will also provide magic tools to find traces."
Tang Yi's heart moved, "As long as you catch a ghost, you can get money?"
"Indeed, as long as you submit the ghost to the ghost guard in charge within a certain period of time, you can get a reward." He raised his brows, seeing that he was obviously interested in it, but he hesitated Did not continue to say.
After dinner, Tang Yi and Jiming suggested to go for a walk in the street.
Originally, I planned to go to Zhou Ji Clothing Shop, talk to Zhou Chengfang and let Miss Ah Lian learn to sew clothes with her, so that she can master a craft to make a living.
Not far away, I saw a crowd of people in front of a family.The concierge knocked on the gong in front of the door and kept yelling, "Come and have a look."
Ji Ming was puzzled, "Master Daoist, what are you doing?"
From a distance, I saw the people surrounding the door, pointing and pointing.Tang Yi took a few glances and couldn't see anything, so he shook his head, "I don't know, let's go and see!"
With the mentality of watching the excitement, he pulled Jiming forward.
As soon as the two approached the crowd, they saw several Taoist priests in Taoist robes coming out of the mansion shaking their heads, and the people hurriedly made way for them.
"Little brother," Tang Yi patted the shoulder of the young man beside him, "Do you know what happened in this house and why there are so many people around the door?"
"Hey, the Wang family paid a lot of money for Taoist priests to catch ghosts." The young man explained to him.
"Wang's family?" It's really not his fault that he can't remember clearly, because there are not a few wealthy and powerful businessmen in Lianzhou City, but eight out of ten are surnamed Wang.
The young man said: "The shopkeeper of Yuelai Restaurant, his original name seems to be Wang Jiagui."
Tang Yi nodded clearly, and then asked, "Did anyone catch it?"
"Not yet," the young man pointed to the gate of the mansion, and continued: "The few Taoist priests who went in before all returned without success, and the Wang family probably recruited murderous ghosts."
"So that's the case, thank you brother!"
-
"Brother Ming, just now I heard someone say that there is a ghost in the palace."
Wang Jiagui, this name is so familiar, he said it silently several times in his heart.
"—So it's him!" Tang Yi couldn't help exclaiming when he suddenly figured it out.
"Why?" Ji Ming looked at him, "The Taoist priest knows the people in the mansion?"
Tang Yi took a deep breath, "To tell you the truth, he is the name I saw with my own eyes in the book of life and death. His birthday is the third day of March, and his death year is Jinyezi."
As he spoke, he narrated the ins and outs of encountering impermanence, but the young man deliberately hid the part in the Qingfeng Temple, sighing repeatedly, and did not see the man's face.
A trace of uneasiness flashed across Ji Ming's face, he forced the corners of his mouth up and nodded.
Tang Yi stayed where he was for a long time, then raised his head and suggested, "Go into the mansion and have a look!"
Since Ming glanced at him, "Alright."
The case of Lin Nanzhu reminded him that sometimes ghosts commit crimes not because they actively want to provoke each other, but because they are forced to use them as tools for harming others.
Thinking of this, Tang Yi pulled him into the crowd again.
"My servant, Qingfeng is watching Tang Yi." He smiled at the doorman, was smacking at Zhiming's identity, and wanted to say that he was a book boy, but he stopped talking.
Since Ming's clothes are extremely luxurious, it is more believable to say that he is the young master.
Tang Yi had no choice but to change the topic: "This one is my friend."
"You two, please wait here. The villain will pass the message immediately." One of the gatekeepers bowed and said very politely, then turned around and ran into the mansion.
After a while, the concierge came running back, "Master Daoist, my master is here to invite you."
The spectators outside the door were talking about it.
Someone in the crowd asked puzzledly, "Which Taoist temple is Qingfeng Temple?"
"Little brother, you must have just come from another place. Qingfeng Temple is the most famous Taoist temple in our Lianzhou." The person with good things jumped out to answer.
"I heard that one of Daoist Liu's apprentices has ascended!"
"so smart?"
"That's natural."
☆, Shi Qing
Wang Jiagui and Xu ordered people to prepare tea to welcome them.
As soon as Tang Yi and Jiming entered the palace, Wang Jiagui and Mrs. Xu greeted them with smiles, took him by the hand and called him Taoist Tang.
"Shopkeeper Wang, you're welcome." Wang Jiagui's enthusiasm overwhelmed him, and he withdrew his hand calmly, "Shopkeeper Wang, this is my friend. You know. We heard that your house is haunted, so we are here to meet you." Find out."
Wang Jiagui waved his hand, "What is the Taoist priest talking about? The Qingfeng Temple is very famous in Lianzhou. The Taoist priest can visit the humble house and make the humble house flourish."
"Treasurer Wang," Tang Yi asked straight to the point, "I wonder if you could tell us about the haunting in detail, so that we can come to a conclusion."
Wang Jiagui originally wanted to say a few words on the scene, but when he saw him driving straight to the point, he nodded blankly, "Master Daoist, this matter is really a long story."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce, this is Mrs. Xu, my concubine."
Mrs. Xu showed displeasure when she heard the words, but she could only agree with her with a smile.
"Come on, both of you, please move into the hall. I'll talk to you carefully." After Wang Jiagui finished speaking, he made a 'please' gesture, and the two immediately followed.
Before leaving, Ji Ming turned his head and saw a servant girl hurriedly ran up to Xu Shi and whispered something in her ear.
After hearing this, Xu's face changed drastically, and she cursed in a low voice, "You bitch!"
Although the voice was very low, Ji Ming could still hear clearly.
-
"So, shopkeeper Wang, do you mean that the ghost of your dead wife is still in the palace and refuses to leave?" Tang Yi was dubious after hearing his words.
"That's right," Wang Jiagui sighed, "Other than that, I really can't figure out what other ghosts I might get into. I just hope her soul rests in peace."
"Treasurer Wang, although it may bring up your sadness, I still want to take the liberty of asking you, when did she leave?"
Wang Jiagui said: "Five days ago, I remember clearly."
"Oh?" Jiming's eyes immediately became sharper, "That is to say, in fact, the first seven years of your wife have not yet passed, but according to the custom, you should set up a funeral shed and set up a funeral banner. Why did the shopkeeper Wang put the funeral?" Has the banner been withdrawn?"
Wang Jiagui shook his head, "I didn't mean it. Mrs. Xu told me a few days ago that she had a severe headache when she saw the funeral banners. She couldn't eat or sleep well all day long."
"No, I ordered people to remove the funeral banners."
As Wang Jiagui spoke, he unconsciously twirled the jade finger on his index finger.
Tang Yi had a panoramic view of his little movements.
"So," Tang Yi followed his words, "Madam Zun's body should still be in the mourning hall, can you show us?"
Wang Jiagui muttered, "They have already sent someone to burn it."
"Burn!" Tang Yi and Ji Ming both looked at him in disbelief.
"When a person dies, the soul returns on the seventh day, which is called the 'first seven'. If the body is not there and has no bones attached, it will really become a lonely ghost. In order to find the dead body, the ghost will stay in the dead place; when encountering paranoid souls , I will never let it go until the body is found." Tang Yi took a deep breath and tried to gather his mind, "Let me ask you, have you ever done an autopsy to see the body?"
As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Xu pushed the door open and entered.
"Oh! She died of illness. We are afraid of bad luck, so how dare we let people see the dead body!" When talking about the main room, Mrs. Xu frowned and covered her nose with a silk handkerchief, and said impatiently: "Dead They're all dead, ghost hunting is important."
"Let her soul fly away, and she will never be reborn forever."
Jiming snorted coldly, Wang Jiagui was in his forties, Xu looked only in his early thirties, with a flowery face, but his heart was like a snake.
Tang Yi looked at her coldly, and said word by word, "Since you can all be sure that the ghost haunting the mansion is her, the cause of her death is of course very important."
"Remove the funeral banners and burn the corpse first," he continued with a mocking tone, "She can't find the corpse left or right, so of course her soul will stay in the mansion. If she really died of illness, it may It would only be one to three months, but if he hadn't died of illness..." Tang Yi showed a secretive smile as he spoke, which made Xu very startled.
He paused, then continued: "The ghost will haunt the murderer for a lifetime."
When Mrs. Xu heard an 'ah', the silk handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground.
After Mrs. Xu regained her composure, she was so excited that she stepped forward and grabbed Tang Yi's arm, "Master Dao, I didn't kill her, I didn't kill her!"
"Xu Rao!" Wang Jiagui called her sternly, but he couldn't reprimand her in public due to the presence of two outsiders, but there was a bit of impatience on his face.
"You two, because of the haunted house, her mood is not stable."
"It's understandable," Ming Ming came out to smooth things over, "Since that's the case, shopkeeper Wang will ask Madam to go back to her room to rest first, and it's not too late to discuss the matter of catching ghosts."
After all, he winked at the young man.
Tang Yi immediately understood, "Treasurer Wang, I think so, you tell us the room where Mrs. Zun lived, and we will take a look in the mansion first."
"This..." Wang Jiagui rolled his eyes, compromised and said, "Forget it, she lived in the first West Wing room on the west side, and you can see it when you go out the door and turn right."
"Thank you!"
Seeing them heading towards the West Wing, Mrs. Xu nudged Wang Jiagui with her elbow and called a maid, "Xiaoyu, follow them!"
-
"Second masters, the master ordered me to serve you."
Hearing this, Tang Yi raised his head and looked her up and down, "What's your name?"
"Respondent, my name is Xiaoyu." Xiaoyu's voice is pleasant, and she is quick in doing things. She is very fond of Xu Shi, and she is her personal maid.
"Xiaoyu," Tang Yi nodded and looked around, "Can you tell me about the haunted house, the more detailed the better." He asked along the way.
"Returning to the head of the Taoist priest, after the death of the eldest lady, there will often be ghosts walking back and forth in the mansion at night. The master, the second lady, and the second lady have all seen it."
"Second miss?" Jiming frowned.
"Yes, she is the second wife's daughter, her name is Wang Min."
Tang Yi thought for a while, "Go on."
"Several times, the second lady woke up in a dream, saying that she dreamed that the eldest lady was going to kill her herself in a deep sleep, which frightened the second lady so that she couldn't sleep at night."
"I heard that the eldest lady passed away due to illness." Tang Yi asked the question he was most concerned about at the right time, "Xiaoyu, what illness did the lady have?"
Xiaoyu's eyes flickered, "I'm a servant, so I don't dare to ask more questions, so I don't know the details of the slaves, I just listen to the master's words, it is a serious illness that cannot be cured."
"That's it," Tang Yi lowered his eyes slightly, and after a while, smiled at Xiaoyu as if he believed her words, "You go down first, I will call you if something happens."
Thinking of what the master explained, Xiaoyu hesitated for a while, then saw Jiming glanced at her with warning eyes.She had no choice but to respectfully respond.
Tang Yi looked at Jiming at the right time, "Do you think what she said is credible?"
"You have to believe it, let alone believe it completely," the man thought for a while, frowning and expressing his judgment, "If nothing else, just say that she has been by Xu's side all year round, a personal maid, logically speaking, and Mrs. Xu spends the most time together." Tang Yi nodded, agreeing with what he thought.
"As the saying goes, a master and a servant are of one mind," Ji Ming smiled, "so she knows some things about Xu's better than Wang Jiagui." The man's words had come to this, Tang Daochang still didn't understand what he meant, and he patted him with a smile his shoulders.
Tang Yi remembered meeting Xu just now, "As Xu is a person, of course I would talk to her about my wife." Xu has always been favored and arrogant.
Xiaoyu knew about Madam Xu's condition from Mrs. Xu's mouth, but when Tang Yi asked about it, he said he didn't know about it, only that it was a serious illness that could not be cured.
"So, there is only one possibility, she is lying." Ji Ming was sure.
"In this way, you and I will divide into two groups. I will go to the west wing where the eldest lady lived to investigate clues, and you will keep an eye on their movements."
Tang Yi calculated carefully, this matter must not be delayed any longer.
"Okay." Since he gave him a clear look, "it's better to be careful."
-
Avoiding the servants in the courtyard, Ji Ming jumped up and climbed onto the roof quickly.
He lifted the tile carefully, and at a glance, he saw Xu Shi and Wang Jiagui sitting at the Eight Immortals table directly below, and they seemed to be discussing something.
"In the hall, you saw it too. When the two of them heard that I was a concubine, they even looked at me differently. Wang Jiagui, let me ask you, when do you plan to let me be your wife? The real mistress of the royal family?"
The person who spoke was none other than Mrs. Xu, with an aggressive look.
"Rao Rao, when did they treat you disrespectfully?" Wang Jiagui was so angry that his face turned red, "Qing'er passed away less than a month ago, and now I help you to be the main wife, what do the neighbors think? Me!" His tone was harsh.
"Hmph, I finally understand, you, you, you only care about yourself, that bitch Shi Qing is dead, what are you afraid of! Once she dies, there will be two immortals left in the Shi family, and one Shi Ning. Once she gets married, the Shi family's huge family property will not belong to you and me." Xu said quite proudly.
"By the way," Mrs. Xu patted her head, "Just now Xiaoyu came back and said that the Taoist priest didn't let her accompany her, and asked her to go down first, and wanted to check Shi Qing's residence."
"Why are you panicking? I've already ordered people to clean up the room. Even if they find out something, they won't be able to produce any evidence. Dead people can't speak."
Wang Jiagui patted her hand to reassure her.
"There's also Shi Ning, a little bastard who has a very hard life. Xiaoyu said that she is very restless in the house, and she is just like her mother." Xu's face was slightly displeased, and she scolded harshly, "I'm afraid she It caused trouble, so I ordered someone to lock her up in the woodshed, and marry her off as soon as the news died down."
Wang Jiagui nodded, "Shi Ning is from the Shi family. Once she tells the whole story, it will be bad for us. You are still thoughtful!"
Ji Ming frowned slightly upon hearing this, and immediately stretched out his hands to cover the tiles.
-
Tang Yi pushed open the door of the west wing, and there was an unpleasant smell inside.
The young man was so choked that he couldn't help frowning, he saw that the bedding and pillows were scattered on the bed and seemed to have been turned, but compared to the table, it was very neat.
Wiping the edge of the window with his fingers, Tang Yi was slightly taken aback to find that there was not even a speck of dust on his hand, which meant that a servant had come to clean it.
Or, someone came to Madam's room and looked for something.
He went to look through the books on the shelf again, and found that his wife could read and write.
Tang Yi was a little surprised, and then he opened each book, only to find that there was a piece of letter paper sandwiched in one of the Book of Songs, with the word 'Ning'er' written on it.
It's just that the handwriting is slightly scribbled, and there are a few drops of blood on the paper.
"Ning'er." Who is this Ning'er?
☆, baby spirit
After Tang Yi put away the letter paper, he looked around the room.
He caught a glimpse of a bronze mirror standing beside the wall. He didn't know if he didn't notice it when he entered the door, or what, the bronze mirror in front of him was facing the dowry.
Coincidentally, there is also a bronze mirror on the dowry.
The two mirrors were facing each other, and Tang Yi's heart rang alarm bells.
As the saying goes, the flower in the mirror is the moon in the water.In terms of feng shui, the placement of mirrors is very well said. Two mirrors face each other, which is really regarded as a taboo.
At this moment, he was standing right in the middle, with mirrors in front and back.
His whole body was drenched with sweat, and when he took a closer look, his vague figure was reflected in the bronze mirror on the dowry, which was a real mirror.Looking at the other side, he froze.
There is nothing in the other mirror.
Tang Yi quickly took off his Taoist robe and covered the bronze mirror by the wall.
It was too late to say it, and it was so fast, just as the Taoist robe was about to be covered, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the room, and the Taoist robe fell to the ground, blowing so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, the scene in the room changed drastically.
With a musty smell, the cluttered room suddenly became bright and clean, and the room was spotless. He couldn't help being amazed.
Just when he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he glanced sideways at a woman with an orchid-like temperament sitting at the table reading a book.
Before Tang Yi could think about it, he saw a pretty girl rushing in through the door, and upon closer inspection, she looked six points like a girl.
The little girl held a round fan in her hand, combed a pair of hanging buns, picked orchid-shaped pearl hairpins to wear on her head, and wore a lake blue skirt, which made people look bright and charming.
Judging by his stature, he looks about fifteen or sixteen.
"Mother!" The little girl ran over and sat beside the woman.
Tang Yi watched the little girl pass through him with his own eyes.
He let out a sigh of relief just now, it turned out that all this was an illusion.
"Big Brother!" A voice instantly broke the silence.
It is a childish voice that is immature and ethereal.Although he couldn't hear the male and female, he could tell that most people could utter it. Tang Yi's body froze suddenly when he heard the words.
Turning around, I saw that the bright little girl had turned into a baby.
The baby was covered in bruises, and he grinned at him. The woman at the table was drinking tea leisurely, holding a book in her hand, and for a moment there was blood on the corner of her mouth.
It's a baby spirit!
Tang Yi pursed his lips, suddenly feeling bad.
-
The baby spirit in front of him was on all fours, and his body was not yet fully formed.
He did a rough calculation, and found that it was about two months, and the facial features on his face could not be seen as a human being at all, and he was babbling, but crawling at an amazingly fast speed.
Tang Yi exerted strength on his waist and skillfully rolled in the air. When he looked at Ying Ling, his mind turned a few times for a moment. Could it be that it is the wife's child?
"Little guy, I don't mean any harm." After a while, he knelt down and compromised.
Hearing this, Ying Ling was obviously taken aback for a moment, he tilted his head and stared blankly at him with a pair of eye sockets, wondering if what he said was true or not.
"You lied to me! You lied to me!" He turned around in a circle, as if he smelled an unusual smell in the air, and his temper suddenly became very irritable.
After finishing speaking, he opened his mouth and bit his arm with lightning speed.
"—Be careful!" It was too late to say it, but at that moment, a dragon and phoenix ring knife filled with gold and silver suddenly appeared from the void, and directly blocked Yingling's mouth.
Yingling bit down on the extremely hard Tang knife and lost a tooth.
In an instant, the surrounding scene was broken little by little, like a mirror that was originally intact was smashed by someone, leaving only a dazzling white light.
He looked down at the edge of the gold-embroidered black robe, and slowly closed his eyes before the illusion of the room was completely shattered, and the people beside him held his hand tightly.
Tang Yi's body froze suddenly, his voice softened involuntarily, "It's clear."
"I'm here."
After the dazzling light disappeared, the bronze mirror split from top to bottom.
"It's an illusion in the barrier." Ji Ming explained to him, looking at him intently, "I was worried that you would be in danger, so I broke the barrier just now."
Everything in the room became exactly the same as when he came in.
"You're not injured, are you?" Tang Yi frowned immediately, and pulled him to look him up and down for a while, finally he was relieved, but he couldn't help admonishing him a few words.
Breaking the barriers set by others from the outside is easy to get hurt.
"I'm fine, Taoist priest doesn't need to worry," Ji Ming heard a faint smile on his face, and he took out a jade bracelet wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, "This time, I got A very important item."
"Jade bracelet?" The color of the jade bracelet was so transparent that Tang Yi took a second look.
Ji Ming nodded, "With it, all mysteries can be solved."
"Mrs. Shi, I know you don't want to see us, but I think you should recognize this jade bracelet in my hand!" Ji Ming said, holding up the jade bracelet in his hand.
As soon as the voice fell, the wind suddenly picked up, making people shudder.
The woman holding the child slowly appeared, and the person in front of her was the woman Tang Yi had seen with his own eyes in the illusion, but her lips were purple now.
Mrs. Shi's face was stern, and her tone was not kind, "The one in your hand is the bracelet I gave to Ning'er. Where did you get it? What did you do to her?"
As she spoke, she was about to reach out to grab the bracelet in Jiming's hand.
Seeing her rushing towards the man, Tang Yi was taken aback for a moment, his body unexpectedly took a step ahead of his brain, and stood in front of Jiming.Quite a feeling of protecting the calf.
Mrs. Shi was not sure at first, but seeing Tang Yi holding a piece of red lettering paper between his index finger and middle finger, she stopped her hand almost immediately.
As everyone knows, although the talisman paper is burning with flames, it is just a piece of ordinary talisman paper.
Just to scare her.
"Mrs. Shi, don't get excited." Seeing this, Ji Ming returned the jade bracelet to her.
"The jade bracelet was given to me by Shi Ning himself."
-
Wang Jiagui and Xu seem to be very afraid of Shi Ning.
Therefore, while eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, since Ming learned from them that Shi Ning was imprisoned by Mrs. Xu in the firewood room, he immediately searched for the firewood room in the mansion.
Finally, he found an inconspicuous hut with four or five servants taking turns guarding the front and back, and there seemed to be something important inside.
He instantly thought of the 'Shi Ning' that Mrs. Xu said.
So, he immediately flew up, lifted the tiles and turned them down.
Sure enough, I saw a fifteen-year-old girl, but her hands and feet were tied, and a cloth was stuffed in her mouth. When she saw him, she whimpered and begged him for help.
The servant outside had very good ears and patted on the wooden door to keep her from barking.
Since Ming stretched out his hand and made a "shush" movement, Shi Ning immediately understood what he wanted to express and nodded.When Ming raised his hand, he cast a barrier.
Shi Ning didn't know what he was doing either, but he was muttering something in a low voice, and made movements with his hands to take out the cloth strip from her mouth.
"Are you here to save me?" The little girl looked at him timidly and asked.
"Yes, but you understand the situation outside." Ji Ming quickly untied the ropes on her hands and feet, and said, "Besides, I'm here for Madam."
Upon hearing this, Shi Ning said in shock, "My mother!"
The person in front of him was actually Shi Qing's daughter, so Mingdang described to her what he saw on the roof.The little girl's face became paler the more she heard it.
"They," Shi Ning's eyes were red after hearing everything the man said.
She took a deep breath, settled her mind and said, "But because of the shop owned by Shi's family, she was so ruthless that she even burned her body!"
"My condolences, girl."
"My lord, you don't need to take me out," Shi Ning said firmly in his eyes.
"There are four or five servants outside guarding the door. If you take me out directly, you will be troubled. If there are too many people, you will definitely sue my father."
As Shi Ning said, he took off the jade bracelet on his wrist, "My lord, this jade bracelet was given to me by my mother when she was alive. Give it to her and she will tell you everything."
"Okay!" Ming Ming responded, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and put it in his arms properly.
"They didn't harm anyone, they just turned into ghosts." Seeing that he really turned over and left, the little girl yelled at him with tears in her eyes.
"I know," Ji Ming paused, his indifferent eyes became more tender, and he said softly, "Because I'm also a ghost."
-
"I didn't expect them to be so frenzied!"
After hearing this, Shi Qing couldn't help but feel angry. When she remembered that she agreed to marry Wang Jiagui, she regretted it very much. She didn't expect that she would even involve the child.
Tang Yi rubbed his chin, "Wang Jiagui, is he actually the son-in-law?"
"My father and mother own twelve shops, among which Yuelai restaurant is also a big business that my parents have worked so hard to do. I am the only daughter in the family."
Shi Qing sighed slightly, "I don't know anything about business. My parents were afraid that I would not be able to do it well, so they recruited a son-in-law for me. He is Wang Jiagui."
Tang Yi and Ji Ming looked at each other, it's no wonder Shi Ning's surname is Shi.
"Since he is a married man, why did he take a concubine?" On this point, Tang Yi thought about it but couldn't figure it out. A married man is not qualified to take a concubine.
"She turned out to be a servant girl in the mansion. Wang Jiagui had an affair with her a long time ago, but I was kept in the dark. I didn't know until Ning'er was born."
Shi Qing felt disgusted when she recalled it, "Later, she told me that she was actually pregnant with a child, and begged me not to drive her away, crying."
"So, you asked the Wang family to take her as a concubine." Ji Ming let out a long sigh of relief.
"Yes," Shi Qing nodded, "If you don't take her into the house, Xu Rao and her children will still have no name or distinction, and will be looked down upon for the rest of their lives."
"I admit that I was moved with compassion and made a big mistake."
"Mrs. Shi has a bodhisattva heart, so there's no need to blame yourself too much." Seeing Shi Qingliu's eyebrows frowned, Tang Yi couldn't help explaining in a soft voice.
"Later, I found out that I was embarrassed again. I knew that my second child was about to be born, and I was still immersed in joy, but I didn't know that my personal maid, Xiaoyu, had been bought by Mrs. Xu long ago." trembling.
When Xiaoyu was mentioned, both Tang Yi and Ji Ming were surprised.
No wonder Xiaoyu asked about it and said she didn't know, but she didn't expect that there was such a relationship.
"She put poison in my anti-fetal medicine. Drinking the slow poison a few times will not kill her immediately. If things go on like this, she will die as long as the poison occurs."
Shi Qing let out a long sigh, with a distressed and gloomy face.
Tang Yi clenched his fingers into fists after listening to it, so Wang Jiagui and Xu had already planned everything in secret, and burned the corpse to wipe out all traces after the event was completed.
"I want to retrieve my body and take my child to reincarnate."
Shi Qing's eyes became dull, "It's just that when I think about it, they will attack my Ning'er, and even my parents."
"My heart is full of resentment and hatred. I wish I could rush over and kill them!"
"Mrs. Shi, please calm down. Before tonight, you can't do anything to Wang Jiagui, Xu Shi, and Heyu." Tang Yi immediately reminded her.
Seeing Shi Qing looking at him suspiciously, Tang Yi didn't say anything but pointed down to the ground with his finger and said, "It's not that we won't report, the time hasn't come yet."
There was a hint of surprise on Shi Qing's face, "My son was young, and I accidentally offended the Taoist priest just now. I will make amends on his behalf, and I hope the Taoist priest can forgive Haihan."
"It's okay," Tang Yi smiled heartily, and explained, "I've been soaking in medicinal baths all year round, and I've been tainted with the fragrance of red passion medicine, that's why he suddenly became irritable."
Red emotion is a common medicinal material among the people, and it can be made into a hemostatic wound medicine by grinding it into powder, which is high in quality and cheap, but ghosts hate red emotion very much.
It's just that the smell of this medicinal material is very weak, and it's hard for ordinary people to smell it.
But Shi Qing seemed a little absent-minded, looking at them with a bit of anxiety and entanglement in her eyes, and she immediately realized it.
"Mrs. Shi, don't worry." Ji Ming smiled frankly, "Although Miss Shi Ning is young, she is smart, and we will definitely help her."
