The younger brother is a biting leprechaun
Chapter 58: The Moon Stream Bead Part 7
Seeing the blood tea made by other people's bloodletting with his own eyes, Wen Ting drank it calmly.If it wasn't for Xu Qing who was busy applying medicine to bandage his junior brother at this time, he would have cupped his fists and praised Wen Ting for his strength.
However, although the appearance of this blood tea is not good enough, the efficacy of the tea is immediate, but within a few breaths, the stagnant demonic power in Wen Ting's body began to work slowly, the dragon scales on his body were hidden under the flesh, and the blood on Wen Ting's head The dragon horn also disappeared.
Wen Ting touched the top of his head that had been flattened, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes unconsciously, and his originally stiff face softened a lot.The cover-up technique used by Xu Qing before was only the most superficial type, so naturally it couldn't cover Bai Yuan's eyes.Now that Wen Ting has finally returned to his original appearance smoothly, Bai Yuan secretly heaves a sigh of relief.
"Wen Ting..." Bai Yuan was about to say something.
However, Wen Ting's eyes turned cold, and he interrupted him: "I have nothing else to say with Mr. Bai. Now that I am not a human being, Mr. Bai should understand that we are not the same people. .”
Bai Yuan was taken aback, his brows that had been furrowed slightly loosened, and said in a gentle voice, "That's why you said you wanted to break up with me?"
Wen Ting said sullenly: "I have different ways with Mr. Bai and we are not conspiring with each other!"
Bai Yuan continued on his own: "You are afraid that I will despise you and think you are a monster, so you backed away early."
A trace of panic flashed in Wen Ting's eyes, but he insisted on it: "Nonsense, what you think is none of my business!"
Bai Yuan looked straight at Wen Ting, his eyes were dark, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were full of affection: "But I don't dislike you, and I don't mind that you are a demon."
Wen Ting stood up abruptly, and kicked the seat under him in panic, making a loud bang.
The room was silent, Wen Ting looked at him, his eyes widened slightly, and Bai Yuan looked back at him without moving.Wen Ting gave a low laugh, raised his hands to cover his brows and eyes, his laughter gradually became hoarse.
Bai Yuan stood up and called him worriedly: "Wen Ting?"
Wen Ting put down his hands, and there was always a sarcasm on his gentle and modest face: "Don't mind? Even I can't accept this ugly look, how can you not mind!" Wen Ting wiped the corners of his eyes, and pulled at himself. Open the sleeve of the right hand, the white jade-like arm, three feet above the wrist, there is a circle of dark purple scales abruptly, and the stubbornness clearly shows that Wen Ting is different from others, "See? I am no longer a human being. .”
Bai Yuan approached him silently, stretched out his hand to hold Wen Ting's wrist, and Wen Ting shook hands into a fist to control himself, not to shake off Bai Yuan's shackles.Even he himself didn't realize it, but his teeth were clenched tightly, but he made a thin trembling sound.
Bai Yuan reached out and stroked the dragon scale on Wen Ting's wrist.Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to cover Wen Jifeng's eyes and said, "Junior brother, don't look at injustice." But she watched it with relish.
Bai Yuan possessed himself and dropped a light kiss on the dragon scale. Wen Ting's expression was shaken and astonished for a moment.Bai Yuan tightened his grip, and said to Wen Ting word by word, "I really don't mind that you are a monster." Wen Ting's half-down eyelashes moved, and his heart was also shaken.
Xu Qing said coolly: "Both of you are monsters, this way you will save the trouble of casting spells to renew your life."
Wen Ting's eyebrows moved slightly, and Bai Yuan sneered slightly: "This time, it's my turn to ask Mr. Wen. I don't mind my origin from the monster clan, and I'm not a human being. Will Mr. Wen despise you?"
Wen Ting closed his eyes, put away his frantic demeanor just now, opened his eyes again and did not speak, but shook his head firmly.
"Aren't you angry?" Bai Yuan leaned over slightly, peeking at Wen Ting's expression from below.
Wen Ting pursed his lips, and said with a gentle expression: "In the past, I was the one who got into a corner, and I wasn't angry with you."
Bai Yuan nodded, and asked again: "What about the circumcision..."
Wen Ting laughed uncontrollably: "It's all my nonsense, I didn't count everything."
Bai Yuan knew it well, and said: "In other words, it doesn't count if I refused the marriage proposal of the White Mansion at the beginning, and then I will choose a day to come to my White Mansion to be the mistress."
Wen Ting's lips moved, but in the end, without saying anything, he reached out and tapped Bai Yuan's forehead.
Bai Yuan covered his forehead and yelled: "Look, Mr. Wen is so violent. If he marries a young lady from another family in the future, he will definitely not look good. Only this young master is willing to take over. But lady, it doesn't matter if you do anything, how can you go How about a face greeting?"
Wen Ting choked and said, "I trained you to be obedient and afraid of guilt, but you still think your face is too provocative."
Seeing the dark clouds on Wen Ting's face dissipate, Bai Yuan smiled and held his hand, unwilling to let go no matter what.If Xuqing hadn't coughed, the two seemed to have forgotten the existence of their senior brother.
"Brother, can you watch it now?" Wen Jifeng turned his head slightly and asked.
The slender eyelashes swept across the palm, Xu Qing withdrew her hand and said with a smile: "It should be fine now." The palm of the hand was itchy with warmth.
After resolving the misunderstanding, Wen Ting naturally retreated a lot from his guard against them.What happened to Bai Yuan was a matter between the two of them, what happened to Wen Ting was what Xu Qing cared about.
When Bai Yuan asked about variables, Wen Ting naturally did not hide anything, so he told the whole story.Probably because he really believed that Bai Yuan would not dislike his identity as a demon, Wen Ting described it very carefully.
The changes in Wen Ting started from the day he went to sea with the caravan.
This time the Wen family sent merchant ships to sea to do business with some fishermen on the islands in the East China Sea, coral pearls, and giant clams.These things are just insignificant seafood to fishermen, and they are priceless treasures on land.It was not the first time for the Wen family to do such a business, so Master Wen was very relieved to deliver the merchant ship to Wen Ting.Unexpectedly, the Wen family caravan was shipwrecked this time.
"Stormy winds and storms, stormy seas. The storms at sea are much more severe than those on land. The helmsmen on the merchant ships have worked in Wen's family for decades. It's hard to predict the future." Wen Ting recalled the scene at that time, still feeling lingering fear, and his face turned pale.
Until a thunderbolt fell from the dark clouds in the sky, it happened to hit the mast of Wen's merchant ship, and the people on board began to panic for a while.The mast was cut off by thunder, and the sails that controlled the direction turned into useless rags, and were soon drenched into a ball by continuous rain and sea water.After the merchant ship hit the reef and the cabin began to flood, everyone on board could no longer be lucky.
The cargo on the ship drifted with the current, and the boatmen on board also gave up bailing water to plug the gap, and only begged Mazu, the God of Great Luo, to bless them to sleep on a certain beach when they woke up.Even if it is missing an arm or a leg, it is better than dying in the sea.
"I was knocked out by a wave and lost my mind completely. When I woke up again, I found myself in... a cave." Wen Ting frowned.
"Dongfu?" Wen Jifeng asked, "Is it the Dongfu in the sea?"
Wen Ting nodded: "Yes, although it is a cave in the sea, there is no seawater pouring into the cave. When I woke up, I was lying in a bath, and then I saw my legs turned into fish tails. "Bai Yuan tightened Wen Ting's hand, and Wen Ting smiled at him, the scene in the cave was far inferior to the storm on the sea, besides his own changes, he did not suffer disaster in any cave.
Xu Qing corrected: "Master Wen, yours is not a fish tail, at least it is the tail of a dragon."
Whether it is a fish tail or a dragon tail, it doesn't matter to Wen Ting.He has been walking on two legs all year round, and suddenly turned into a tail, which is naturally bad for walking.Can only be trapped and locked in a square inch.until a woman came to him.
The woman's appearance is beautiful and gorgeous, and she is no more than Huaxin, but she is dressed like a woman.If it weren't for the dragon horns on her head and the occasional scales on her body, she would be just a beautiful woman from a distance.The woman didn't make things difficult for him, and rather calmly asked about Wen Ting's family background.Wen Ting was terrified and didn't know the identity of the woman, so he told the truth.
"The woman told me that I took her son's body, and if I didn't want to die, I would stay in the sea." Wen Ting rubbed his forehead, speaking with a bit of fatigue.
Bai Yuan asked strangely, "Then how did you come back?"
"I told her that my parents still miss me at home, and I'm afraid I can't agree to her vision. But she said, my mother is just a concubine of the Wenfu, relying on my status as the only child, and she doesn't really miss me. My father..." Wen Ting recalled what Master Wen said in the study, and his mouth was bitter, but the son did not say anything about his father, "He also needs to inherit the incense of the Wen family. A woman, as long as I agree to it, I can do it. Choose a few women from good families for me, and when they give birth to an heir, they will not fight for it, and send them back to the Wen family for me."
Bai Yuan frowned and complained: "Could it be that you didn't tell her that your sweetheart is waiting for you on the shore?"
Wen Ting couldn't help laughing when he heard Bai Yuan pretending to be sour, raised his hand and touched his head, but withdrew the smile on his face: "Of course I mentioned it, but the woman was quite contemptuous, and threatened that the Taoist would be cold." Bo, the wind, the flowers, the snow and the moon are all fleeting, if my appearance of being neither a human nor a demon is exposed, it will be considered a good end if I am not cast aside."
It was the woman's words that caused Wen Ting to hesitate, and all the panic and restlessness in his heart poured out.There is an evil lone star in the family, and even blood relatives may not be able to accept and tolerate it, let alone a lover who is involved for no reason.Having seen his father linger in the flowers, Wen Ting was imprinted with suspicion and doubt in his bones.
Although Bai Yuan is cynical, he knows Wen Ting's knot in his heart.Knowing the uneasiness and hesitation in his heart at this time, naturally he did not criticize him harshly.He has a long time to make Wen Ting believe in his will.
"I have no other way, it's worth fighting for again and again, the woman will agree, and allow me to go back to the Seven Emperors City to wipe out my past." The woman has her own means to patrol the lost goods, as well as the corpse of the boatman and helmsman.After she cast a spell to cover up the abnormality on my body, she cast a spell herself, pretending that I was washed back on the beach by the sea, and I survived a catastrophe.
After explaining clearly what happened to him, Wen Ting stopped talking.Xu Qing thought about the ins and outs, and knew without thinking too much, the problem must be with this woman.It's just that the identity of this woman is a mystery, and it may be difficult to know more.
"Do you know who this woman's name is?" Before thinking about it, Xu Qing was still thinking, and Wen Jifeng had already asked.
Wen Ting shook his head, he also questioned that woman.The woman talked about him from left to right, only saying that the monster race does not have the same name.And she will be Wen Ting's mother in the future, and she doesn't need to know her name.
Wen Jifeng frowned: "Then what's special about her?"
Wen Ting thought for a moment, except he remembered the dark red spirit patch on the woman's body, and the cinnabar infested pattern between her eyebrows, so she couldn't say anything else.
With so few clues to continue, Xu Qing had no choice but to give up.Seeing that Bai Yuan and Wen Ting had settled their suspicions, just when they were about to express their feelings, Xu Qing took his junior brother back to the room with a very winking look.
As soon as Xu Qing closed the door, Wen Jifeng said to Xu Qing with certainty: "Brother, this Wen Ting should already be dead."
Xu Qing shuddered, almost pinching her fingers.Putting a restraint on the door, Xu Qing turned her head and saw her junior waiting for his response with a straight face.
Xu Qing pulled his junior brother to sit down, poured a cup of tea and said: "Junior brother, why not explain in detail, although I can see something strange about Wen Ting, but I don't see death."
Wen Jifeng nodded and said: "According to Wen Ting, the cave should be located in the depths of the East China Sea. Even if he drowned with the waves and fell into the water in a coma, it is impossible to wake up safe and sound. Listen to what he said , and no symptoms of choking and chest tightness. Furthermore, the woman with red scales in Wen Ting's mouth, she claimed that Wen Ting was her son, and Wen Ting also showed some abnormalities, but Wen Ting's parents were mortals, and How could he have the blood of the demon clan? Wen Ting knows nothing, so naturally he can't hide it, no matter how bad Bai Yuan is, it's impossible not to see the demonic aura in Wen Ting's body."
Xu Qing caressed her chin, what the junior brother said was indeed somewhat reasonable.And... the younger brother seems to have made his own decision.
"Wen Ting's aura is different from that of ordinary people, but he doesn't have a demonic aura. As my junior said, if he had died once, he wouldn't seem like a living corpse entrenched in his body. He is neither a human nor a ghost. What is your guess?"
"I thought he should be a fishwife." Wen Jifeng said.
Xu Qing supported her heart with one hand, and listened to Wen Jifeng's detailed talk.
The so-called fishwife is a kind of evil that is produced by mixing humans and fish.Not a man, not a fish, half man, half fish.There are patients who died in shipwreck, and by chance, they are attached to the body of the dying spirit fish.The soul is attached to it, and it becomes a monster with the body of a mermaid.The combination of the two is alive, and once separated, they are two kinds of dead things.
"When I was fighting with Wen Ting, I found that there was a strong and pure evil spirit in his body, but he couldn't drive it away. It must have been obtained by external force, and this is the only possibility that can explain Wen Ting's current appearance." Wen Jifeng said.
Xu Qing looked at him with his head propped up, noncommittal.Wen Jifeng hesitated for a while, and asked, "Senior brother, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Xu Qing couldn't help laughing, straightened his sitting posture and said: "Junior brother said very clearly, and it is very logical." Wen Jifeng frowned, waiting for Xu Qing's next words.According to his understanding of Xu Qing, he certainly wouldn't stop here.
"It's just that junior brother doesn't think it's too coincidental. Don't talk about why only Wen Ting survived alone on the boat, but just talk about junior brother's guess. When Wen Ting fell into the sea, he was involved in that cave. When he fell into the mansion, he happened to meet It got on a dying spirit fish or a dragon fetus. How could Wen Ting's spirit be attached to it and not be expelled by the dragon fetus' demonic power?" The fishwife wondered, and it was not so easy to get one.There are very few records about fishwives in ancient books, because the soul depends on the demon body, which is far less simple than imagined.Otherwise, people would die in shipwrecks every year in the Seven Imperial City, and there would be fishwives everywhere.
Wen Jifeng was dumbfounded, not knowing how to argue with Xu Qing.Xu Qing's original intention was not to bully his junior, so naturally he didn't continue talking.
After a long time, Wen Jifeng shook his head.Xu Qing saw that his junior was somewhat frustrated, and he comforted him: "If junior wants to figure it out, we can stay in the Baifu to see what happened." Anyway, it will take some time for the shark pearl that Bai Yuan promised. But there is some movement.
When Xu Qing was thinking about how to spend this leisure time safely with her junior, troubles entangled her unconsciously.The young master of the Wen family and the young master of the Bai family both fell into the water. The people of the Wen family couldn't find Wen Ting's trace, so naturally they wouldn't let it go, they came to him and insisted on an explanation.
Master Wen personally came to beg for someone, Bai Yuan ordered the housekeeper to receive him, but he avoided seeing him.If he really showed up in front of Master Wen, all his actions of secretly sneaking back to the mansion would have been in vain.
The butler of the White House was tactful, Master Wen coaxed, and the people brought by Master Wen also invited An Sheng to come in and make offerings.Master Wen wanted to see Bai Yuan, but Butler Bai refused to let go.
Smashing a vase?Let him smash; throw the cup?The Bai family does not lack these money.Even Master Wen searched the Bai Mansion inside and out, but the housekeeper Bai did not move like a mountain, only saying that the young master went out early in the morning and has not returned yet.He also found time to send someone to say hello to the two guests in the mansion to avoid trouble.
Xu Qing and his younger brother acted as gentlemen on Liangshang once, seeing Butler Bai dismissing Master Wen away with ease, he sighed in his heart that the old butler really doesn't show his face.Seeing Master Wen coming in a rage, but couldn't find any clues and had no choice but to leave.
Xu Qing looked at Master Wen's back and touched his nose.
"Junior brother, how about we set up a fortune-telling stall tomorrow?" Xu Qing invited Wen Jifeng with a smile.
Wen Jifeng paused before responding.
After all the people in the Wenfu had left, the two brothers and sisters came down from the beam.After entrusting Butler Bai with the belongings to be used tomorrow, Xu Qing asked Bai Yuan's whereabouts by the way.Butler Bai let go of his mouth at this time, and asked Xu Qing to go to Bai Yuan's bedroom to have a look.
Xu Qing didn't knock on the door to ask, but pushed open the door directly.In the room, Bai Yuan and Wen Ting stood up from the side of the bed as if their buttocks were on fire.
Seeing who came, Bai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "So it's you." He thought it was Master Wen who made a comeback.
Xu Qing smiled, looked left and right at the messy room, Xu Qing clicked his tongue: "It looks like robbers ransacked it."
Bai Yuan didn't care at all: "The tables and chairs are just decorations, the housekeeper can do it again." Hearing these words, Xu Qing became suspicious, the housekeeper Bai probably didn't have a young sword, but worked under Bai Yuan's staff to become so seasoned .
Wen Ting took a step forward, bowed to Xu Qing and the two of them, and said: "You two priests, I have something to ask."
Xu Qing had already sensed that something was wrong.Bai Yuan didn't want to see Master Wen because he thought it was troublesome, and Wen Ting also avoided seeing him and even stayed in the White Mansion without leaving, so he had a bit of fun.
Wen Jifeng said: "But it's okay to say."
Wen Ting had a slight apology on his face: "I have something to hide from you." Several people's eyes were focused on Wen Ting, Wen Ting slightly straightened his back and said: "Although the woman allowed me to go ashore, she only allowed me to go ashore. I will stay for ten days. If I exceed the time limit, I will be asked to go back to the sea."
Xu Qing raised his eyebrows and said: "Are you not happy?"
Wen Ting frowned and said, "My parents, relatives and friends are here." It is human nature not to want to be separated.
Wen Jifeng said: "The woman said that you are her own son, and it must be because of her. Does Mr. Wen not want to know the truth at all, and stay on the shore as if to escape. Tell her to endure the pain of life and separation, Mr. Wen I am afraid that I will repay my kindness with revenge."
Wen Ting sighed: "I know that I was able to escape from Shengtian this time because of the help of that woman, so I am naturally grateful. It's just that it is too difficult for me to stay in the sea and support her for the rest of my life."
Wen Jifeng was silent and said in his heart, you intend to stay, but you may not be able to stay for long.
In the past few days, Xu Qing has become more and more unable to understand his junior brother's mind, seeing that the atmosphere is gradually stagnant and rigid, he opened his mouth to dispel it and said: "Mr. Wen has this entrustment, we should try our best, but we dare not say anything big about the result. "
Wen Ting responded: "You can't force anything, and the Daoist leader is willing to take action, which is already the most benevolent."
After Xu Qing finished explaining tomorrow's itinerary and came out of Bai Yuan's room, Xu Qing asked in a low voice: "Junior Brother is worried about Wen Ting?" Wen Jifeng hesitated for a while, but still nodded with Xu Qing.
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Senior brother understands, you don't have to worry, troublesome things, senior brother will solve it."
"But Senior Brother, that woman may not want to hurt Wen Ting, nor may it be troublesome." Wen Jifeng said seriously.
Xu Qing smiled: "Brother, don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself. That woman can't let go of her child, but she wants to separate the Wen family's flesh and blood. No matter how much that woman thinks, it will be troublesome."
Wen Jifeng seemed to have thought of something, nodded towards Xuqing: "Senior brother is right."
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day was cloudless.Butler Bai dispatched a few strangers from Baifu to help Xuqing and Xuqing set up a fortune-telling booth, in front of Wenfu, they happened to be neighbors with the old couple who had earlier stalls.
A plan, a bench, and a streamer I found somewhere in front of the desk. The four-character script of "Iron Mouth Straight Break" is crooked, Xu Qing suppressed a smile and sat behind the table, this time he has really become a magic stick pretending to be a ghost.
The sun is getting higher and the morning wind is getting weaker, Xu Qing is lazily basking in the sun, half leaning against his junior.Looking at the sky, it was almost noon. Opposite the fortune-telling booth, there was no movement at the gate of Wenfu all morning.Xu Qing wondered if he should take his junior brother to the stall next door to eat a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach.
Different from Xuqing's boredom, yesterday Wen Jifeng asked Butler Bai to prepare some cinnabar yellow talismans for him.But in the morning, Wen Jifeng had already drawn a small stack of spells.Xu Qing casually picked up one to look at, and praised: "Junior brother's ability to draw thunder talismans is improving day by day."
Wen Jifeng replied: "Just in case you need it, do you want to draw a few more pictures for senior brother? Or something else?"
Xu Qing shook his head, and whispered to his junior brother: "Compared to the thunder talisman, junior brother might as well draw a portrait of yourself for me, I will definitely keep it with me every day, it will definitely be more effective than the amulet."
As soon as the words fell, the pen in Wen Jifeng's hand suddenly broke in two from the middle.Wen Jifeng glanced at Xu Qing, and said very calmly: "Your hands are stronger, don't be surprised." As he spoke, Xu Qing took another new brush.
Looking at the abandoned one, Xu Qing swallowed her saliva, smiled dryly and praised: "It is the blessing of this pen to be able to practice hand strength for the younger brother." You can't lose your vigilance just by relying on your current cultivation level, which is a bit higher than that of your junior brother.Otherwise, there may be variables about who goes up and who goes down one day.
When the junior brother finished drawing the last talisman, the gate of Wen Mansion opened.Master Wen came out of the door with a gloomy expression, followed by the butler of Wen's mansion who was Xiaofu low.
Walking in front of their fortune-telling booth, Master Wen asked, "Yesterday, did you really see an ominous omen in Wen's mansion?"
Xu Qing smiled and said: "That's natural."
Master Wen's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "In this case, I invite the two Taoist priests to come to the mansion for a talk."
Xu Qing stood up, brushed off her robe, and readily agreed.
The servants of the Wen Mansion moved very swiftly, Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng followed Master Wen to step into the gate of the mansion, and the stalls behind them were gathered up by several servants and moved into the mansion.Xu Qing thought for a while, all the talismans had been put away by his junior brother, except for the unused cinnabar, there was nothing of value in this stall, so he let him go.
Compared with the exquisite and elegant layout of the White Mansion, the halls of the Wen Mansion are obviously richer and more luxurious, probably for the purpose of showing the wealth of the Wen Mansion while discussing.
Xu Qing took a sip of tea, it should be the best Yunshan Maojian, after drinking it, the fragrance will remain on the lips and teeth.Xu Qing pushed the dim sum plate on the bank towards the younger brother, the younger brother worked hard all morning, so he should make up more.
Master Wen sat at the top, originally he was drinking tea and waiting for Xu Qing and the others to speak first, but he didn't want the two of them to talk in a low voice over snacks, he was more calm than him.
After clearing his throat, Master Wen put down the teacup and said, "You two are invited to come here, because I want to ask the two priests for a solution to the misfortune of Wenfu."
Xu Qing straightened his body and said: "It's natural, but just looking at Wenfu's luck is not enough to make a judgment. The details need to be answered by Layman Wen."
Master Wen pondered for a moment and said: "Wen, try your best..."
Xu Qing's expression moved slightly, and Master Guanwen's expression seemed to have some secrets that were not humane.Picking up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for his junior, Xu Qing smiled and said: "Pindao dares to guess, did your family suffer any accidents more than ten years ago?"
Master Wen's face froze, and he was silent for a long time before answering: "Yes, that year a concubine in my mansion gave birth to a child, but unfortunately the mother and child died. The concubine was hit by blood, and she was already lingering on the sick bed. She was so angry that she hurried away. gone."
The two teachers and brothers said "Supreme Heavenly Venerable", and Xu Qing comforted him: "My condolences to Layman Wen."
Master Wen raised his hand to signal that it was okay, a flash of urgency flashed in his eyes and asked: "Master, but that dead concubine, and my child who died young..."
Xu Qing shook his head.Master Wen frowned, and guessed again: "Could it be the first mother..."
Xu Qing sighed, what the servant revealed yesterday, it is clear that two young masters of the Wen family died, this incident alone shows that Master Wen is hiding something from them.Since this family member has revealed the secret of the master's family, in order to keep his job, he will definitely not confess to Master Wen. Similarly, there is no reason to deceive them.
"Yesterday, the pindao and astrological divination made a divination, and the calamity of Wenfu should come from the east." Xu Qing said nonsense.
"East?" Master Wen was puzzled.
Wen Jifeng answered, "Or in the sea."
Master Wen was startled, he stood up abruptly from his seat, and looked at Xu Qing and Xu Qing in horror.Cold sweat dripped down Master Wen's head.Xu Qing's words seemed to remind Master Wen of the secret past, Xu Qing dared to assert that Master Wen must have covered up the part that he never told them.
"Does the Daoist have a way to crack it?" Master Wen asked eagerly, his words became more earnest, and the vague pointing of the two brothers made Master Wen believe a little bit of their ability.It's a pity that these things are just inferences they made by combining Jia Ding's statement and Wen Ting's words.
Xu Qing lowered his eyes halfway, and pointed out something: "Layman Wen has some taboos, and his words are flashing. If you are poor, you have intentions, but you also have intentions and powerlessness."
Master Wen was dumbfounded.Xu Qing flicked the whisk in her hand, didn't say much, just waiting for Master Wen to speak frankly.
Master Wen closed his eyes, stroked his short beard on his face, sat down on the chair, and said in a much older voice, "It's a long story. When Wen was young and crazy, he accidentally provoked that evildoer. My mother prevented her from being admitted into the mansion. If it weren't for her, our Wen manor wouldn't have such a stillborn child who was neither human nor demon, and my mother wouldn't be mad at me!"
Master Wen's upper lip trembled slightly, as if recalling some horrifying scene, and then said to the two of them: "For the sake of the reputation of Wen Mansion, I expelled that evildoer, and ordered everyone in the mansion not to mention this matter, just treat it as a That evildoer gave birth to a difficult child, and the mother and child are dead!" Since then, many concubines and servants of the Wen family were sent to sell by Master Wen, and sent far away from the Seven Emperors City. For more than ten years, only a few were left as Wen The concubine Ji who gave birth to the master's children and the housekeeper who grew up in the mansion since childhood are still in Wen's house. Master Wen doesn't want to mention it, so no one talks about the concubine's room and the freak in front of him.
Wen Jifeng said coldly: "Even if Master Wen's concubine Ji is a demon, don't you think it's cruel to throw the woman you just gave birth out of the house?"
Master Wen's eyes widened, bloodshot eyes said: "What can I do? Is it possible to keep her and the monster she gave birth to? Not to mention whether she will harm people, just record a monster into Wenfu Genealogy, absolutely impossible!"
Wen Jifeng sneered and said nothing more.Xu Qing said: "So, Master Wen doesn't know about the life and death of that concubine's room?"
Master Wen said dejectedly: "After dealing with the funeral in the mansion, I fell seriously ill. After recovering from the illness, I remembered that concubine's room not far away, and never knew her whereabouts." Master Wen raised his head and stared at Xu Qing and asked, "Could it be, is it really her? She resented me for betraying her back then, so she came here to take revenge!"
Xu Qing said: "When I was setting up a stall outside the door, I heard that the young master of your mansion was hit by a disaster yesterday and fell into the water and he was nowhere to be found..."
Master Wen said palely: "It must be, it must be her, she was also covered with scales at that time, she must be a monster in the water. She hated me for driving her out, so she chose to attack Ting'er. My Wen family has lost all sons and grandchildren..." Master Wen blushed as he spoke, and slapped the table next to him fiercely, splashing the cups of tea all over the floor.
Xu Qing flicked the dust whisk lightly, brushing away all the tea that splashed towards them.
Master Wen roared: "How can this evildoer be so vicious that our Wen family is not enough!"
Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng looked at each other speechlessly, just waiting for Master Wen to calm down by himself.After a while, Master Wen's expression calmed down, and he cupped his hands with the two of them and said, "The two priests of Wanwang have taken this monster, and please do your best to save my missing son. Wen will definitely remember the kindness of the two of you." Inside!"
Wen Jifeng avoided Master Wen's courtesy, Xu Qing couldn't dodge it, so he reached out to help Master Wen up and said: "Slaying demons and demons is my job as a cultivator, and Layman Wen doesn't need to do this."
Master Wen was a little relieved when he heard the sound, but seeing Wen Ji's unhappiness, he tentatively asked, "What's wrong with this little Daoist?"
Wen Jifeng said calmly: "Nothing. It's just that if you want to find Master Wen, you will inevitably have to find some clues in the Wen Mansion. I hope Master Wen can help you."
Master Wen said repeatedly: "This is nature, this is nature."
The housekeeper was quickly called up, and according to Wen Jifeng's request, he led the two brothers and sisters to Wen Ting's residence.
Xu Qing glanced secretly, Wen Jifeng's expression was slightly stiff, as if he was a little angry in his heart.Even the housekeeper who led the way turned around to peek at him from time to time, as if he was afraid of something.
Xu Qing calmly took the hand of his junior brother, and said to the housekeeper: "The two brothers and sisters of the poor Taoist are really destined to be with the housekeeper. Yesterday they were servants dispatched by your Excellency, and today you are leading the way for the poor Taoist."
The housekeeper was terrified, and hurriedly said: "The Taoist priest was joking, yesterday...yesterday, the little old man didn't know people, and he couldn't see that the Taoist priest has great supernatural powers. The little old man is also involuntary. I still look to the Taoist priest for the past things." Don't remember the faults of villains." The housekeeper saw all the injuries on the servant's body yesterday, but something happened in the mansion, Master Wen was too busy to touch the ground, so he suppressed the servant's injury.
Wen Jifeng called Wen Jifeng back to his mind after the housekeeper's repeated nagging, and when he realized that Xu Qing had put Xu Qing's hand in his palm, Wen Jifeng shook it back to indicate that he was fine.
Xu Qing chuckled, the housekeeper looked at the two young Taoists in front of him, always felt that the scene in front of him seemed a little weird, but he couldn't tell.
Wen Ting's residence is a separate courtyard in the mansion, and a plaque engraved with the word "Tao Zhu" is hung in front of the courtyard.The two brothers and sisters wandered around like a horse watching flowers.Wen Ting is in the White House, and coming here is just a formality.After walking around, Xu Qing asked the housekeeper: "I don't know where the concubine who was expelled from the house by Master Wen because of miscarriage more than ten years ago lived?"
The housekeeper was quite surprised. Master Wen had always kept a secret about this old incident more than ten years ago, but he was easily tricked out by these two Taoist priests.
Without much hesitation, the housekeeper said: "Since Aunt Hong was kicked out, the Linshui Pavilion where she lives has been vacant, you two come with me."
The two followed, Xu Qing asked with great interest: "Aunt Hong? So, does the housekeeper know the name of Aunt Hong?"
The housekeeper thought about it carefully for a while and said: "If the little old man remembers correctly, he should be called Hong Ling."
Xu Qing was clear, speechless all the way.Not long after, the housekeeper led them to another courtyard.The courtyard here is remote, and the plaque of the Linshui Pavilion is also covered with dust, probably because no one really cares about it, and the drag chain on the door is covered with rust marks.
Fortunately, the butler was fully prepared when he came, and he brought the keys from all parts of Wenfu with him.
Pushing open the mottled courtyard door, the housekeeper said: "You two priests, go in. The things inside are more than ten years old. There is nothing you can't move, so the little old man won't get in your way."
The two brothers and sisters nodded to the butler, and stepped through the door one after another.
This place can be regarded as an unspoken forbidden place in Wenfu.The butler closed the door behind them, and then stepped back a little, waiting for the two to come out.People in the Taoist sect are most afraid of leaking secret methods, but the housekeeper knows how to avoid suspicion.
The courtyard has not been taken care of for more than ten years, and the weeds in the courtyard have grown to the height of half a person.Xu Qing frowned, just as he was about to throw the whisk in his hand, Wen Jifeng raised his hand and grabbed it.
"There are some flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, brother, please be careful." Wen Jifeng said softly.
Xu Qing paused, patted his junior brother on the shoulder lightly and said: "I know, junior brother don't need to worry."
The whisk swept by.The snow-white spiritual energy swept across the ground, and the fire flickered slightly, and the weeds were cleared away.There are only a few budding camellias left in the courtyard, and orchids that have bloomed everywhere on the ground.
Wen Jifeng stepped forward with his sword in hand, and stopped in front of the orchid that hadn't yet bloomed.Wen Jifeng said in a low voice, "Mother used to like this orchid the most. I never thought that no one prunes it now, and it probably hasn't bloomed for a long time."
After bringing Wen Ting back to the White Mansion, Xu Qing noticed that the junior brother's emotions were turbulent, and his words were more partial to the red-scaled woman whom he had never met before.Today, after hearing this story of Master Wen's past, the relationship between the younger brother and the Wen family has been clearly revealed.
Xu Qing is pleased with his junior brother's frankness, but his junior brother's reminiscence and sadness in front of him makes him feel distressed intuitively.There are no encounters in life, Xu Qing just wanted to find a shark bead, but came across this past that his junior and junior didn't want to reveal again.
"That red-scaled woman is most likely your mother, do you want to meet her?" Xu Qing also squatted down next to his junior brother, and asked with his head turned sideways.
Wen Jifeng's eyelashes flickered slightly, and then said: "No need, it will only increase trouble." If he got involved with Hong Ling, not to mention that Bai Yuan and Wen Ting's trust in them would be greatly reduced. I never thought of meeting Master Wen
However, although the appearance of this blood tea is not good enough, the efficacy of the tea is immediate, but within a few breaths, the stagnant demonic power in Wen Ting's body began to work slowly, the dragon scales on his body were hidden under the flesh, and the blood on Wen Ting's head The dragon horn also disappeared.
Wen Ting touched the top of his head that had been flattened, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes unconsciously, and his originally stiff face softened a lot.The cover-up technique used by Xu Qing before was only the most superficial type, so naturally it couldn't cover Bai Yuan's eyes.Now that Wen Ting has finally returned to his original appearance smoothly, Bai Yuan secretly heaves a sigh of relief.
"Wen Ting..." Bai Yuan was about to say something.
However, Wen Ting's eyes turned cold, and he interrupted him: "I have nothing else to say with Mr. Bai. Now that I am not a human being, Mr. Bai should understand that we are not the same people. .”
Bai Yuan was taken aback, his brows that had been furrowed slightly loosened, and said in a gentle voice, "That's why you said you wanted to break up with me?"
Wen Ting said sullenly: "I have different ways with Mr. Bai and we are not conspiring with each other!"
Bai Yuan continued on his own: "You are afraid that I will despise you and think you are a monster, so you backed away early."
A trace of panic flashed in Wen Ting's eyes, but he insisted on it: "Nonsense, what you think is none of my business!"
Bai Yuan looked straight at Wen Ting, his eyes were dark, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were full of affection: "But I don't dislike you, and I don't mind that you are a demon."
Wen Ting stood up abruptly, and kicked the seat under him in panic, making a loud bang.
The room was silent, Wen Ting looked at him, his eyes widened slightly, and Bai Yuan looked back at him without moving.Wen Ting gave a low laugh, raised his hands to cover his brows and eyes, his laughter gradually became hoarse.
Bai Yuan stood up and called him worriedly: "Wen Ting?"
Wen Ting put down his hands, and there was always a sarcasm on his gentle and modest face: "Don't mind? Even I can't accept this ugly look, how can you not mind!" Wen Ting wiped the corners of his eyes, and pulled at himself. Open the sleeve of the right hand, the white jade-like arm, three feet above the wrist, there is a circle of dark purple scales abruptly, and the stubbornness clearly shows that Wen Ting is different from others, "See? I am no longer a human being. .”
Bai Yuan approached him silently, stretched out his hand to hold Wen Ting's wrist, and Wen Ting shook hands into a fist to control himself, not to shake off Bai Yuan's shackles.Even he himself didn't realize it, but his teeth were clenched tightly, but he made a thin trembling sound.
Bai Yuan reached out and stroked the dragon scale on Wen Ting's wrist.Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to cover Wen Jifeng's eyes and said, "Junior brother, don't look at injustice." But she watched it with relish.
Bai Yuan possessed himself and dropped a light kiss on the dragon scale. Wen Ting's expression was shaken and astonished for a moment.Bai Yuan tightened his grip, and said to Wen Ting word by word, "I really don't mind that you are a monster." Wen Ting's half-down eyelashes moved, and his heart was also shaken.
Xu Qing said coolly: "Both of you are monsters, this way you will save the trouble of casting spells to renew your life."
Wen Ting's eyebrows moved slightly, and Bai Yuan sneered slightly: "This time, it's my turn to ask Mr. Wen. I don't mind my origin from the monster clan, and I'm not a human being. Will Mr. Wen despise you?"
Wen Ting closed his eyes, put away his frantic demeanor just now, opened his eyes again and did not speak, but shook his head firmly.
"Aren't you angry?" Bai Yuan leaned over slightly, peeking at Wen Ting's expression from below.
Wen Ting pursed his lips, and said with a gentle expression: "In the past, I was the one who got into a corner, and I wasn't angry with you."
Bai Yuan nodded, and asked again: "What about the circumcision..."
Wen Ting laughed uncontrollably: "It's all my nonsense, I didn't count everything."
Bai Yuan knew it well, and said: "In other words, it doesn't count if I refused the marriage proposal of the White Mansion at the beginning, and then I will choose a day to come to my White Mansion to be the mistress."
Wen Ting's lips moved, but in the end, without saying anything, he reached out and tapped Bai Yuan's forehead.
Bai Yuan covered his forehead and yelled: "Look, Mr. Wen is so violent. If he marries a young lady from another family in the future, he will definitely not look good. Only this young master is willing to take over. But lady, it doesn't matter if you do anything, how can you go How about a face greeting?"
Wen Ting choked and said, "I trained you to be obedient and afraid of guilt, but you still think your face is too provocative."
Seeing the dark clouds on Wen Ting's face dissipate, Bai Yuan smiled and held his hand, unwilling to let go no matter what.If Xuqing hadn't coughed, the two seemed to have forgotten the existence of their senior brother.
"Brother, can you watch it now?" Wen Jifeng turned his head slightly and asked.
The slender eyelashes swept across the palm, Xu Qing withdrew her hand and said with a smile: "It should be fine now." The palm of the hand was itchy with warmth.
After resolving the misunderstanding, Wen Ting naturally retreated a lot from his guard against them.What happened to Bai Yuan was a matter between the two of them, what happened to Wen Ting was what Xu Qing cared about.
When Bai Yuan asked about variables, Wen Ting naturally did not hide anything, so he told the whole story.Probably because he really believed that Bai Yuan would not dislike his identity as a demon, Wen Ting described it very carefully.
The changes in Wen Ting started from the day he went to sea with the caravan.
This time the Wen family sent merchant ships to sea to do business with some fishermen on the islands in the East China Sea, coral pearls, and giant clams.These things are just insignificant seafood to fishermen, and they are priceless treasures on land.It was not the first time for the Wen family to do such a business, so Master Wen was very relieved to deliver the merchant ship to Wen Ting.Unexpectedly, the Wen family caravan was shipwrecked this time.
"Stormy winds and storms, stormy seas. The storms at sea are much more severe than those on land. The helmsmen on the merchant ships have worked in Wen's family for decades. It's hard to predict the future." Wen Ting recalled the scene at that time, still feeling lingering fear, and his face turned pale.
Until a thunderbolt fell from the dark clouds in the sky, it happened to hit the mast of Wen's merchant ship, and the people on board began to panic for a while.The mast was cut off by thunder, and the sails that controlled the direction turned into useless rags, and were soon drenched into a ball by continuous rain and sea water.After the merchant ship hit the reef and the cabin began to flood, everyone on board could no longer be lucky.
The cargo on the ship drifted with the current, and the boatmen on board also gave up bailing water to plug the gap, and only begged Mazu, the God of Great Luo, to bless them to sleep on a certain beach when they woke up.Even if it is missing an arm or a leg, it is better than dying in the sea.
"I was knocked out by a wave and lost my mind completely. When I woke up again, I found myself in... a cave." Wen Ting frowned.
"Dongfu?" Wen Jifeng asked, "Is it the Dongfu in the sea?"
Wen Ting nodded: "Yes, although it is a cave in the sea, there is no seawater pouring into the cave. When I woke up, I was lying in a bath, and then I saw my legs turned into fish tails. "Bai Yuan tightened Wen Ting's hand, and Wen Ting smiled at him, the scene in the cave was far inferior to the storm on the sea, besides his own changes, he did not suffer disaster in any cave.
Xu Qing corrected: "Master Wen, yours is not a fish tail, at least it is the tail of a dragon."
Whether it is a fish tail or a dragon tail, it doesn't matter to Wen Ting.He has been walking on two legs all year round, and suddenly turned into a tail, which is naturally bad for walking.Can only be trapped and locked in a square inch.until a woman came to him.
The woman's appearance is beautiful and gorgeous, and she is no more than Huaxin, but she is dressed like a woman.If it weren't for the dragon horns on her head and the occasional scales on her body, she would be just a beautiful woman from a distance.The woman didn't make things difficult for him, and rather calmly asked about Wen Ting's family background.Wen Ting was terrified and didn't know the identity of the woman, so he told the truth.
"The woman told me that I took her son's body, and if I didn't want to die, I would stay in the sea." Wen Ting rubbed his forehead, speaking with a bit of fatigue.
Bai Yuan asked strangely, "Then how did you come back?"
"I told her that my parents still miss me at home, and I'm afraid I can't agree to her vision. But she said, my mother is just a concubine of the Wenfu, relying on my status as the only child, and she doesn't really miss me. My father..." Wen Ting recalled what Master Wen said in the study, and his mouth was bitter, but the son did not say anything about his father, "He also needs to inherit the incense of the Wen family. A woman, as long as I agree to it, I can do it. Choose a few women from good families for me, and when they give birth to an heir, they will not fight for it, and send them back to the Wen family for me."
Bai Yuan frowned and complained: "Could it be that you didn't tell her that your sweetheart is waiting for you on the shore?"
Wen Ting couldn't help laughing when he heard Bai Yuan pretending to be sour, raised his hand and touched his head, but withdrew the smile on his face: "Of course I mentioned it, but the woman was quite contemptuous, and threatened that the Taoist would be cold." Bo, the wind, the flowers, the snow and the moon are all fleeting, if my appearance of being neither a human nor a demon is exposed, it will be considered a good end if I am not cast aside."
It was the woman's words that caused Wen Ting to hesitate, and all the panic and restlessness in his heart poured out.There is an evil lone star in the family, and even blood relatives may not be able to accept and tolerate it, let alone a lover who is involved for no reason.Having seen his father linger in the flowers, Wen Ting was imprinted with suspicion and doubt in his bones.
Although Bai Yuan is cynical, he knows Wen Ting's knot in his heart.Knowing the uneasiness and hesitation in his heart at this time, naturally he did not criticize him harshly.He has a long time to make Wen Ting believe in his will.
"I have no other way, it's worth fighting for again and again, the woman will agree, and allow me to go back to the Seven Emperors City to wipe out my past." The woman has her own means to patrol the lost goods, as well as the corpse of the boatman and helmsman.After she cast a spell to cover up the abnormality on my body, she cast a spell herself, pretending that I was washed back on the beach by the sea, and I survived a catastrophe.
After explaining clearly what happened to him, Wen Ting stopped talking.Xu Qing thought about the ins and outs, and knew without thinking too much, the problem must be with this woman.It's just that the identity of this woman is a mystery, and it may be difficult to know more.
"Do you know who this woman's name is?" Before thinking about it, Xu Qing was still thinking, and Wen Jifeng had already asked.
Wen Ting shook his head, he also questioned that woman.The woman talked about him from left to right, only saying that the monster race does not have the same name.And she will be Wen Ting's mother in the future, and she doesn't need to know her name.
Wen Jifeng frowned: "Then what's special about her?"
Wen Ting thought for a moment, except he remembered the dark red spirit patch on the woman's body, and the cinnabar infested pattern between her eyebrows, so she couldn't say anything else.
With so few clues to continue, Xu Qing had no choice but to give up.Seeing that Bai Yuan and Wen Ting had settled their suspicions, just when they were about to express their feelings, Xu Qing took his junior brother back to the room with a very winking look.
As soon as Xu Qing closed the door, Wen Jifeng said to Xu Qing with certainty: "Brother, this Wen Ting should already be dead."
Xu Qing shuddered, almost pinching her fingers.Putting a restraint on the door, Xu Qing turned her head and saw her junior waiting for his response with a straight face.
Xu Qing pulled his junior brother to sit down, poured a cup of tea and said: "Junior brother, why not explain in detail, although I can see something strange about Wen Ting, but I don't see death."
Wen Jifeng nodded and said: "According to Wen Ting, the cave should be located in the depths of the East China Sea. Even if he drowned with the waves and fell into the water in a coma, it is impossible to wake up safe and sound. Listen to what he said , and no symptoms of choking and chest tightness. Furthermore, the woman with red scales in Wen Ting's mouth, she claimed that Wen Ting was her son, and Wen Ting also showed some abnormalities, but Wen Ting's parents were mortals, and How could he have the blood of the demon clan? Wen Ting knows nothing, so naturally he can't hide it, no matter how bad Bai Yuan is, it's impossible not to see the demonic aura in Wen Ting's body."
Xu Qing caressed her chin, what the junior brother said was indeed somewhat reasonable.And... the younger brother seems to have made his own decision.
"Wen Ting's aura is different from that of ordinary people, but he doesn't have a demonic aura. As my junior said, if he had died once, he wouldn't seem like a living corpse entrenched in his body. He is neither a human nor a ghost. What is your guess?"
"I thought he should be a fishwife." Wen Jifeng said.
Xu Qing supported her heart with one hand, and listened to Wen Jifeng's detailed talk.
The so-called fishwife is a kind of evil that is produced by mixing humans and fish.Not a man, not a fish, half man, half fish.There are patients who died in shipwreck, and by chance, they are attached to the body of the dying spirit fish.The soul is attached to it, and it becomes a monster with the body of a mermaid.The combination of the two is alive, and once separated, they are two kinds of dead things.
"When I was fighting with Wen Ting, I found that there was a strong and pure evil spirit in his body, but he couldn't drive it away. It must have been obtained by external force, and this is the only possibility that can explain Wen Ting's current appearance." Wen Jifeng said.
Xu Qing looked at him with his head propped up, noncommittal.Wen Jifeng hesitated for a while, and asked, "Senior brother, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Xu Qing couldn't help laughing, straightened his sitting posture and said: "Junior brother said very clearly, and it is very logical." Wen Jifeng frowned, waiting for Xu Qing's next words.According to his understanding of Xu Qing, he certainly wouldn't stop here.
"It's just that junior brother doesn't think it's too coincidental. Don't talk about why only Wen Ting survived alone on the boat, but just talk about junior brother's guess. When Wen Ting fell into the sea, he was involved in that cave. When he fell into the mansion, he happened to meet It got on a dying spirit fish or a dragon fetus. How could Wen Ting's spirit be attached to it and not be expelled by the dragon fetus' demonic power?" The fishwife wondered, and it was not so easy to get one.There are very few records about fishwives in ancient books, because the soul depends on the demon body, which is far less simple than imagined.Otherwise, people would die in shipwrecks every year in the Seven Imperial City, and there would be fishwives everywhere.
Wen Jifeng was dumbfounded, not knowing how to argue with Xu Qing.Xu Qing's original intention was not to bully his junior, so naturally he didn't continue talking.
After a long time, Wen Jifeng shook his head.Xu Qing saw that his junior was somewhat frustrated, and he comforted him: "If junior wants to figure it out, we can stay in the Baifu to see what happened." Anyway, it will take some time for the shark pearl that Bai Yuan promised. But there is some movement.
When Xu Qing was thinking about how to spend this leisure time safely with her junior, troubles entangled her unconsciously.The young master of the Wen family and the young master of the Bai family both fell into the water. The people of the Wen family couldn't find Wen Ting's trace, so naturally they wouldn't let it go, they came to him and insisted on an explanation.
Master Wen personally came to beg for someone, Bai Yuan ordered the housekeeper to receive him, but he avoided seeing him.If he really showed up in front of Master Wen, all his actions of secretly sneaking back to the mansion would have been in vain.
The butler of the White House was tactful, Master Wen coaxed, and the people brought by Master Wen also invited An Sheng to come in and make offerings.Master Wen wanted to see Bai Yuan, but Butler Bai refused to let go.
Smashing a vase?Let him smash; throw the cup?The Bai family does not lack these money.Even Master Wen searched the Bai Mansion inside and out, but the housekeeper Bai did not move like a mountain, only saying that the young master went out early in the morning and has not returned yet.He also found time to send someone to say hello to the two guests in the mansion to avoid trouble.
Xu Qing and his younger brother acted as gentlemen on Liangshang once, seeing Butler Bai dismissing Master Wen away with ease, he sighed in his heart that the old butler really doesn't show his face.Seeing Master Wen coming in a rage, but couldn't find any clues and had no choice but to leave.
Xu Qing looked at Master Wen's back and touched his nose.
"Junior brother, how about we set up a fortune-telling stall tomorrow?" Xu Qing invited Wen Jifeng with a smile.
Wen Jifeng paused before responding.
After all the people in the Wenfu had left, the two brothers and sisters came down from the beam.After entrusting Butler Bai with the belongings to be used tomorrow, Xu Qing asked Bai Yuan's whereabouts by the way.Butler Bai let go of his mouth at this time, and asked Xu Qing to go to Bai Yuan's bedroom to have a look.
Xu Qing didn't knock on the door to ask, but pushed open the door directly.In the room, Bai Yuan and Wen Ting stood up from the side of the bed as if their buttocks were on fire.
Seeing who came, Bai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "So it's you." He thought it was Master Wen who made a comeback.
Xu Qing smiled, looked left and right at the messy room, Xu Qing clicked his tongue: "It looks like robbers ransacked it."
Bai Yuan didn't care at all: "The tables and chairs are just decorations, the housekeeper can do it again." Hearing these words, Xu Qing became suspicious, the housekeeper Bai probably didn't have a young sword, but worked under Bai Yuan's staff to become so seasoned .
Wen Ting took a step forward, bowed to Xu Qing and the two of them, and said: "You two priests, I have something to ask."
Xu Qing had already sensed that something was wrong.Bai Yuan didn't want to see Master Wen because he thought it was troublesome, and Wen Ting also avoided seeing him and even stayed in the White Mansion without leaving, so he had a bit of fun.
Wen Jifeng said: "But it's okay to say."
Wen Ting had a slight apology on his face: "I have something to hide from you." Several people's eyes were focused on Wen Ting, Wen Ting slightly straightened his back and said: "Although the woman allowed me to go ashore, she only allowed me to go ashore. I will stay for ten days. If I exceed the time limit, I will be asked to go back to the sea."
Xu Qing raised his eyebrows and said: "Are you not happy?"
Wen Ting frowned and said, "My parents, relatives and friends are here." It is human nature not to want to be separated.
Wen Jifeng said: "The woman said that you are her own son, and it must be because of her. Does Mr. Wen not want to know the truth at all, and stay on the shore as if to escape. Tell her to endure the pain of life and separation, Mr. Wen I am afraid that I will repay my kindness with revenge."
Wen Ting sighed: "I know that I was able to escape from Shengtian this time because of the help of that woman, so I am naturally grateful. It's just that it is too difficult for me to stay in the sea and support her for the rest of my life."
Wen Jifeng was silent and said in his heart, you intend to stay, but you may not be able to stay for long.
In the past few days, Xu Qing has become more and more unable to understand his junior brother's mind, seeing that the atmosphere is gradually stagnant and rigid, he opened his mouth to dispel it and said: "Mr. Wen has this entrustment, we should try our best, but we dare not say anything big about the result. "
Wen Ting responded: "You can't force anything, and the Daoist leader is willing to take action, which is already the most benevolent."
After Xu Qing finished explaining tomorrow's itinerary and came out of Bai Yuan's room, Xu Qing asked in a low voice: "Junior Brother is worried about Wen Ting?" Wen Jifeng hesitated for a while, but still nodded with Xu Qing.
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Senior brother understands, you don't have to worry, troublesome things, senior brother will solve it."
"But Senior Brother, that woman may not want to hurt Wen Ting, nor may it be troublesome." Wen Jifeng said seriously.
Xu Qing smiled: "Brother, don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself. That woman can't let go of her child, but she wants to separate the Wen family's flesh and blood. No matter how much that woman thinks, it will be troublesome."
Wen Jifeng seemed to have thought of something, nodded towards Xuqing: "Senior brother is right."
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day was cloudless.Butler Bai dispatched a few strangers from Baifu to help Xuqing and Xuqing set up a fortune-telling booth, in front of Wenfu, they happened to be neighbors with the old couple who had earlier stalls.
A plan, a bench, and a streamer I found somewhere in front of the desk. The four-character script of "Iron Mouth Straight Break" is crooked, Xu Qing suppressed a smile and sat behind the table, this time he has really become a magic stick pretending to be a ghost.
The sun is getting higher and the morning wind is getting weaker, Xu Qing is lazily basking in the sun, half leaning against his junior.Looking at the sky, it was almost noon. Opposite the fortune-telling booth, there was no movement at the gate of Wenfu all morning.Xu Qing wondered if he should take his junior brother to the stall next door to eat a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach.
Different from Xuqing's boredom, yesterday Wen Jifeng asked Butler Bai to prepare some cinnabar yellow talismans for him.But in the morning, Wen Jifeng had already drawn a small stack of spells.Xu Qing casually picked up one to look at, and praised: "Junior brother's ability to draw thunder talismans is improving day by day."
Wen Jifeng replied: "Just in case you need it, do you want to draw a few more pictures for senior brother? Or something else?"
Xu Qing shook his head, and whispered to his junior brother: "Compared to the thunder talisman, junior brother might as well draw a portrait of yourself for me, I will definitely keep it with me every day, it will definitely be more effective than the amulet."
As soon as the words fell, the pen in Wen Jifeng's hand suddenly broke in two from the middle.Wen Jifeng glanced at Xu Qing, and said very calmly: "Your hands are stronger, don't be surprised." As he spoke, Xu Qing took another new brush.
Looking at the abandoned one, Xu Qing swallowed her saliva, smiled dryly and praised: "It is the blessing of this pen to be able to practice hand strength for the younger brother." You can't lose your vigilance just by relying on your current cultivation level, which is a bit higher than that of your junior brother.Otherwise, there may be variables about who goes up and who goes down one day.
When the junior brother finished drawing the last talisman, the gate of Wen Mansion opened.Master Wen came out of the door with a gloomy expression, followed by the butler of Wen's mansion who was Xiaofu low.
Walking in front of their fortune-telling booth, Master Wen asked, "Yesterday, did you really see an ominous omen in Wen's mansion?"
Xu Qing smiled and said: "That's natural."
Master Wen's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "In this case, I invite the two Taoist priests to come to the mansion for a talk."
Xu Qing stood up, brushed off her robe, and readily agreed.
The servants of the Wen Mansion moved very swiftly, Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng followed Master Wen to step into the gate of the mansion, and the stalls behind them were gathered up by several servants and moved into the mansion.Xu Qing thought for a while, all the talismans had been put away by his junior brother, except for the unused cinnabar, there was nothing of value in this stall, so he let him go.
Compared with the exquisite and elegant layout of the White Mansion, the halls of the Wen Mansion are obviously richer and more luxurious, probably for the purpose of showing the wealth of the Wen Mansion while discussing.
Xu Qing took a sip of tea, it should be the best Yunshan Maojian, after drinking it, the fragrance will remain on the lips and teeth.Xu Qing pushed the dim sum plate on the bank towards the younger brother, the younger brother worked hard all morning, so he should make up more.
Master Wen sat at the top, originally he was drinking tea and waiting for Xu Qing and the others to speak first, but he didn't want the two of them to talk in a low voice over snacks, he was more calm than him.
After clearing his throat, Master Wen put down the teacup and said, "You two are invited to come here, because I want to ask the two priests for a solution to the misfortune of Wenfu."
Xu Qing straightened his body and said: "It's natural, but just looking at Wenfu's luck is not enough to make a judgment. The details need to be answered by Layman Wen."
Master Wen pondered for a moment and said: "Wen, try your best..."
Xu Qing's expression moved slightly, and Master Guanwen's expression seemed to have some secrets that were not humane.Picking up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for his junior, Xu Qing smiled and said: "Pindao dares to guess, did your family suffer any accidents more than ten years ago?"
Master Wen's face froze, and he was silent for a long time before answering: "Yes, that year a concubine in my mansion gave birth to a child, but unfortunately the mother and child died. The concubine was hit by blood, and she was already lingering on the sick bed. She was so angry that she hurried away. gone."
The two teachers and brothers said "Supreme Heavenly Venerable", and Xu Qing comforted him: "My condolences to Layman Wen."
Master Wen raised his hand to signal that it was okay, a flash of urgency flashed in his eyes and asked: "Master, but that dead concubine, and my child who died young..."
Xu Qing shook his head.Master Wen frowned, and guessed again: "Could it be the first mother..."
Xu Qing sighed, what the servant revealed yesterday, it is clear that two young masters of the Wen family died, this incident alone shows that Master Wen is hiding something from them.Since this family member has revealed the secret of the master's family, in order to keep his job, he will definitely not confess to Master Wen. Similarly, there is no reason to deceive them.
"Yesterday, the pindao and astrological divination made a divination, and the calamity of Wenfu should come from the east." Xu Qing said nonsense.
"East?" Master Wen was puzzled.
Wen Jifeng answered, "Or in the sea."
Master Wen was startled, he stood up abruptly from his seat, and looked at Xu Qing and Xu Qing in horror.Cold sweat dripped down Master Wen's head.Xu Qing's words seemed to remind Master Wen of the secret past, Xu Qing dared to assert that Master Wen must have covered up the part that he never told them.
"Does the Daoist have a way to crack it?" Master Wen asked eagerly, his words became more earnest, and the vague pointing of the two brothers made Master Wen believe a little bit of their ability.It's a pity that these things are just inferences they made by combining Jia Ding's statement and Wen Ting's words.
Xu Qing lowered his eyes halfway, and pointed out something: "Layman Wen has some taboos, and his words are flashing. If you are poor, you have intentions, but you also have intentions and powerlessness."
Master Wen was dumbfounded.Xu Qing flicked the whisk in her hand, didn't say much, just waiting for Master Wen to speak frankly.
Master Wen closed his eyes, stroked his short beard on his face, sat down on the chair, and said in a much older voice, "It's a long story. When Wen was young and crazy, he accidentally provoked that evildoer. My mother prevented her from being admitted into the mansion. If it weren't for her, our Wen manor wouldn't have such a stillborn child who was neither human nor demon, and my mother wouldn't be mad at me!"
Master Wen's upper lip trembled slightly, as if recalling some horrifying scene, and then said to the two of them: "For the sake of the reputation of Wen Mansion, I expelled that evildoer, and ordered everyone in the mansion not to mention this matter, just treat it as a That evildoer gave birth to a difficult child, and the mother and child are dead!" Since then, many concubines and servants of the Wen family were sent to sell by Master Wen, and sent far away from the Seven Emperors City. For more than ten years, only a few were left as Wen The concubine Ji who gave birth to the master's children and the housekeeper who grew up in the mansion since childhood are still in Wen's house. Master Wen doesn't want to mention it, so no one talks about the concubine's room and the freak in front of him.
Wen Jifeng said coldly: "Even if Master Wen's concubine Ji is a demon, don't you think it's cruel to throw the woman you just gave birth out of the house?"
Master Wen's eyes widened, bloodshot eyes said: "What can I do? Is it possible to keep her and the monster she gave birth to? Not to mention whether she will harm people, just record a monster into Wenfu Genealogy, absolutely impossible!"
Wen Jifeng sneered and said nothing more.Xu Qing said: "So, Master Wen doesn't know about the life and death of that concubine's room?"
Master Wen said dejectedly: "After dealing with the funeral in the mansion, I fell seriously ill. After recovering from the illness, I remembered that concubine's room not far away, and never knew her whereabouts." Master Wen raised his head and stared at Xu Qing and asked, "Could it be, is it really her? She resented me for betraying her back then, so she came here to take revenge!"
Xu Qing said: "When I was setting up a stall outside the door, I heard that the young master of your mansion was hit by a disaster yesterday and fell into the water and he was nowhere to be found..."
Master Wen said palely: "It must be, it must be her, she was also covered with scales at that time, she must be a monster in the water. She hated me for driving her out, so she chose to attack Ting'er. My Wen family has lost all sons and grandchildren..." Master Wen blushed as he spoke, and slapped the table next to him fiercely, splashing the cups of tea all over the floor.
Xu Qing flicked the dust whisk lightly, brushing away all the tea that splashed towards them.
Master Wen roared: "How can this evildoer be so vicious that our Wen family is not enough!"
Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng looked at each other speechlessly, just waiting for Master Wen to calm down by himself.After a while, Master Wen's expression calmed down, and he cupped his hands with the two of them and said, "The two priests of Wanwang have taken this monster, and please do your best to save my missing son. Wen will definitely remember the kindness of the two of you." Inside!"
Wen Jifeng avoided Master Wen's courtesy, Xu Qing couldn't dodge it, so he reached out to help Master Wen up and said: "Slaying demons and demons is my job as a cultivator, and Layman Wen doesn't need to do this."
Master Wen was a little relieved when he heard the sound, but seeing Wen Ji's unhappiness, he tentatively asked, "What's wrong with this little Daoist?"
Wen Jifeng said calmly: "Nothing. It's just that if you want to find Master Wen, you will inevitably have to find some clues in the Wen Mansion. I hope Master Wen can help you."
Master Wen said repeatedly: "This is nature, this is nature."
The housekeeper was quickly called up, and according to Wen Jifeng's request, he led the two brothers and sisters to Wen Ting's residence.
Xu Qing glanced secretly, Wen Jifeng's expression was slightly stiff, as if he was a little angry in his heart.Even the housekeeper who led the way turned around to peek at him from time to time, as if he was afraid of something.
Xu Qing calmly took the hand of his junior brother, and said to the housekeeper: "The two brothers and sisters of the poor Taoist are really destined to be with the housekeeper. Yesterday they were servants dispatched by your Excellency, and today you are leading the way for the poor Taoist."
The housekeeper was terrified, and hurriedly said: "The Taoist priest was joking, yesterday...yesterday, the little old man didn't know people, and he couldn't see that the Taoist priest has great supernatural powers. The little old man is also involuntary. I still look to the Taoist priest for the past things." Don't remember the faults of villains." The housekeeper saw all the injuries on the servant's body yesterday, but something happened in the mansion, Master Wen was too busy to touch the ground, so he suppressed the servant's injury.
Wen Jifeng called Wen Jifeng back to his mind after the housekeeper's repeated nagging, and when he realized that Xu Qing had put Xu Qing's hand in his palm, Wen Jifeng shook it back to indicate that he was fine.
Xu Qing chuckled, the housekeeper looked at the two young Taoists in front of him, always felt that the scene in front of him seemed a little weird, but he couldn't tell.
Wen Ting's residence is a separate courtyard in the mansion, and a plaque engraved with the word "Tao Zhu" is hung in front of the courtyard.The two brothers and sisters wandered around like a horse watching flowers.Wen Ting is in the White House, and coming here is just a formality.After walking around, Xu Qing asked the housekeeper: "I don't know where the concubine who was expelled from the house by Master Wen because of miscarriage more than ten years ago lived?"
The housekeeper was quite surprised. Master Wen had always kept a secret about this old incident more than ten years ago, but he was easily tricked out by these two Taoist priests.
Without much hesitation, the housekeeper said: "Since Aunt Hong was kicked out, the Linshui Pavilion where she lives has been vacant, you two come with me."
The two followed, Xu Qing asked with great interest: "Aunt Hong? So, does the housekeeper know the name of Aunt Hong?"
The housekeeper thought about it carefully for a while and said: "If the little old man remembers correctly, he should be called Hong Ling."
Xu Qing was clear, speechless all the way.Not long after, the housekeeper led them to another courtyard.The courtyard here is remote, and the plaque of the Linshui Pavilion is also covered with dust, probably because no one really cares about it, and the drag chain on the door is covered with rust marks.
Fortunately, the butler was fully prepared when he came, and he brought the keys from all parts of Wenfu with him.
Pushing open the mottled courtyard door, the housekeeper said: "You two priests, go in. The things inside are more than ten years old. There is nothing you can't move, so the little old man won't get in your way."
The two brothers and sisters nodded to the butler, and stepped through the door one after another.
This place can be regarded as an unspoken forbidden place in Wenfu.The butler closed the door behind them, and then stepped back a little, waiting for the two to come out.People in the Taoist sect are most afraid of leaking secret methods, but the housekeeper knows how to avoid suspicion.
The courtyard has not been taken care of for more than ten years, and the weeds in the courtyard have grown to the height of half a person.Xu Qing frowned, just as he was about to throw the whisk in his hand, Wen Jifeng raised his hand and grabbed it.
"There are some flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, brother, please be careful." Wen Jifeng said softly.
Xu Qing paused, patted his junior brother on the shoulder lightly and said: "I know, junior brother don't need to worry."
The whisk swept by.The snow-white spiritual energy swept across the ground, and the fire flickered slightly, and the weeds were cleared away.There are only a few budding camellias left in the courtyard, and orchids that have bloomed everywhere on the ground.
Wen Jifeng stepped forward with his sword in hand, and stopped in front of the orchid that hadn't yet bloomed.Wen Jifeng said in a low voice, "Mother used to like this orchid the most. I never thought that no one prunes it now, and it probably hasn't bloomed for a long time."
After bringing Wen Ting back to the White Mansion, Xu Qing noticed that the junior brother's emotions were turbulent, and his words were more partial to the red-scaled woman whom he had never met before.Today, after hearing this story of Master Wen's past, the relationship between the younger brother and the Wen family has been clearly revealed.
Xu Qing is pleased with his junior brother's frankness, but his junior brother's reminiscence and sadness in front of him makes him feel distressed intuitively.There are no encounters in life, Xu Qing just wanted to find a shark bead, but came across this past that his junior and junior didn't want to reveal again.
"That red-scaled woman is most likely your mother, do you want to meet her?" Xu Qing also squatted down next to his junior brother, and asked with his head turned sideways.
Wen Jifeng's eyelashes flickered slightly, and then said: "No need, it will only increase trouble." If he got involved with Hong Ling, not to mention that Bai Yuan and Wen Ting's trust in them would be greatly reduced. I never thought of meeting Master Wen
