Don't touch my tomb!

Chapter 26 The Puppet in the Play

Recently, Mr. Guo's house in Licheng has been quite lively.

For one thing, Mr. Guo's [-]th birthday is coming soon, and the troupes he invited before have arrived one after another.Except for the world-renowned troupe like the Yunluo Opera Troupe who can directly stay in the Guo Mansion, the rest of the troupes have found an inn near the Guo Mansion so that they can take orders from Mr. Guo at any time.

People in the theater troupe couldn’t be free, they would hang their voices and practice exercises when they had time, and some performed at the entrance of the inn to attract guests. Not only did the children gather to watch, but the adults also watched with great interest.For a while, the area around the Guo Mansion was even busier than during the Chinese New Year.

Second, Mrs. Guo expelled the respectable Mama Lai and her two fierce sons from Guo's mansion. It is said that the three of them not only stole Mr. Guo's belongings, but beat and scolded Mr. Guo at every turn.

However, after the three members of the Lai family were kicked out of the mansion, they were restless. They spread rumors everywhere that Mr. Guo was possessed by an evil spirit. It must be that someone in the Guo mansion was jealous of their mother and son and used evil methods to confuse Mr. Guo. The mother and son were wronged.At present, the mother and son of the Lai family are inviting Taoist priests everywhere, vowing to return to Guo's mansion to catch ghosts and eliminate evil.

Qin Xiaocong also listened to the "life outside the mansion" of the Lai family's mother and son from the people of Guo's mansion, secretly thinking that the three of them must be the truth.

However, now he is not in the mood to care about how the Lai family's mother and son dance, what he cares about is - the Yunluo troupe!

On the day when the Yunluo troupe first entered the mansion, the Cong jade around Qin Xiaocong's waist was vibrating non-stop, which meant that Qiu Liyuan was still here.However, Bai Hezi and Jiaojiaoyue who went to intercept and remind Qiu Liyuan before did not show up.Qin Xiaocong suspected that they had already been arrested by Guichayu.

I don't know what this ghost chasing Yu is planning, but after he moved into the Guo Mansion from the Yunluo Opera Troupe, he hasn't appeared again.

Qin Xiaocong and He Lang were very embarrassed in the previous confrontations, and Guichayu didn't show up, and they would not take the initiative to find him. It is better to find Qiu Liyuan first and find out the grievances between him and Guichayu.

All the members of the Yunluo Opera Troupe lived in a courtyard in the Guo Mansion, and Qin Xiaocong went to see them quietly when they first came.There were too many people in the theatrical troupe, and all kinds of auras were mixed together. He couldn't tell which Qiu Liyuan was, or which thing or person he was attached to.

Early in the morning, Qin Xiaocong called He Lang and decided to look for him again.

"This time we'll look more openly, I don't believe we can't find him." Qin Xiaocong was full of confidence.

Without hesitation, He Lang accompanied him to the courtyard.

Along the way, from time to time, he met servants of the Guo family.Qin Xiaocong discovered that these servants treated He Lang more respectfully than he.Seeing him, the servants called "Young Master" and it was over. They all bowed and bowed to He Lang, their heads almost dropped to the ground.

It's not fair!Qin Xiaocong thought unconvinced.He couldn't help observing He Lang. He Lang had changed into the coarse cloth clothes that people in the Guo family often wore since the second day he arrived.Although the clothes are rough and simple, it is still difficult to hide his elegance.

Moreover, Qin Xiaocong's eyes fell on He Lang's tall nose, and he couldn't help but look at his beautiful eyes. He always felt that he had seen too many girls recently, and those girls seemed to be here for He Lang. Yes, everyone was shy, or they were doing some strange things, as if to get He Lang's attention.However, He Lang didn't seem to notice that most of the time he was acting as if strangers should not get close to him.

"What's wrong?" He Lang asked.

Only then did Qin Xiaocong realize that he was so focused on looking at He Lang that he forgot to move.Bah, beauty deceives people!

"It's okay, I'm distracted." Qin Xiaocong smiled sheepishly.

"Is there any discomfort?" He Lang frowned slightly, "But that ghost chain..."

Qin Xiaocong shook his head again and again, "No, no!...I heard the sound of opera singing. It sounds nice. I wonder if it's Xiaoqiu?"

The two walked side by side for a while, He Lang said: "Qiu Liyuan... Is it a man or a woman, and what does it look like?"

This question really stumped Qin Xiaocong. After thinking for a while, he was not sure: "Male?"

He Lang: ...

"He's a puppet, usually a gentle and jade-like son." Qin Xiaocong's eyes began to glow with little stars, "He Lang, you should really listen to Xiaoqiu's voice, it's so sweet that it makes people kneel when you speak. "

"Really?" He Lang said lightly.

"Also, he once dressed up as a woman and sang to us that the imperial concubine is drunk. It's so beautiful!"

"Ah."

"Don't you like watching operas? Xiao Qiu's performance is a must-see. Twelve Girls' Evening Banquet pictures always dislike me for vulgarity, but they are especially obsessed with Xiao Qiu, and they all beg to accompany Xiao Qiu!"

Qin Xiaocong was eloquent, when a woman rushed out of the slanting stab, she staggered as if being pushed.

He Lang immediately raised his arm to block Qin Xiaocong.

Immediately afterwards, two more women rushed out from behind the trees beside the path in a panic.The three women were more nervous than the other, and they all knelt down, "Greetings to the young master, and Mrs. He!"

Qin Xiaocong saw that it was just the servant girls in the mansion who were messing around, so he hurriedly said, "Get up quickly."

The three maidservants did not move until He Lang said: "Get up." They stood up tremblingly.

Qin Xiaocong touched his nose, no one listened to what the silly young master said.

After the three maidservants got up, they looked at each other with blushing faces. The maidservant who was pushed out boldly stepped forward and handed He Lang a handkerchief, "Master He, please wipe your sweat with it."

Qin Xiaocong poked his head over and saw that the handkerchief was made of pink silk and satin, with two lifelike mandarin ducks embroidered on it.This is... Qin Xiaocong looked at the two mandarin ducks, and then at the trembling maidservant holding the handkerchief, his mind suddenly lit up, he understood!

"He Lang," Qin Xiaocong asked, "She wants to double cultivate with you?"

Before He Lang could speak, the handmaiden who delivered the handkerchief started crying, "Young master is just making fun of me!" After saying that, the handkerchief fell on He Lang and ran away.

The remaining two maidservants pleaded guilty and hurriedly chased after her.

Qin Xiaocong was very puzzled, bent down and picked up the handkerchief on the ground, "It's quite fragrant, do you want it?"

He Lang's face was livid, and he walked away without saying a word, leaving Qin Xiaocong in a daze.

He Lang seemed to be angry, Qin Xiaocong had never seen him so scary before.Qin Xiaocong remembered another sentence from him taught by the owner of the tomb - "Don't speak evil".This... Did he offend He Lang by saying something "indecent"?

Shuangxiu...Qin Xiaocong remembered the booklet of the Palace of Spring again, this cannot be said, right?

Unexpectedly, He Lang went a long way and came back again, his blue and black eyes almost burst into flames, "Don't say anything wrong!"

Qin Xiaocong was startled, the familiar feeling of being reprimanded!He nodded again and again, "Got it..." o(╥﹏╥)o

He Lang walked away again.

Qin Xiaocong was able to keep up by trotting all the way, and when he approached the gate of the side courtyard, He Lang's complexion finally improved, and the two entered the gate together.

The side courtyard is bustling, and the sound of singing "Yi Yi Ya Ya" can be heard endlessly.

Qin Xiaocong likes to be lively, watching with great interest.

People in the theater troupe are rehearsing "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea". Several extremely thin steel wires are pulled over the courtyard.The steel wires can't be found unless you look carefully. At first glance, it seems that they really can fly through the clouds.

The Congyu around Qin Xiaocong's waist began to vibrate again, this time getting closer, Qin Xiaocong clearly felt that the aura of the Qiuli Garden was among the "Eight Immortals", but he couldn't make a precise distinction.

"What the hell is going on?" Qin Xiaocong murmured, why do the "Eight Immortals" have the aura of Qiu Liyuan on them?

"He Xiangu, let's go!" The troupe director shouted, and at the same time, several apprentices below released a burst of white smoke, creating the effect of lingering clouds and mist.

"He Xiangu" holds a budding lotus in her hand, and she walks gracefully in the air, with a soft figure and a melodious singing voice, which really makes people unable to take their eyes off.

"It's so beautiful!" Qin Xiaocong exclaimed.

That "He Xiangu" lowered her head slightly, and was about to sing again, when a pair of watery eyes happened to meet Qin Xiaocong's.Suddenly, she stepped on the air and tumbled from the air like a puppet with a broken thread.

The practice steel wire is extremely high from the ground, if you fall, you may be killed.

"Ms. Ying!"

Everyone exclaimed and rushed forward to pick him up, but none of them was as fast as Qin Xiaocong!

Qin Xiaocong landed on his toes, flew up, caught Yingniang who was playing He Xiangu, and landed firmly.

As soon as he received Yingniang, Qin Xiaocong regretted that she didn't have the aura of Qiu Liyuan on her body, this wasn't it.

"Ms. Ying!"

"Ying Niang, are you okay!"

A group of people came up "hula la", Qin Xiaocong hurriedly put Yingniang down.

Qin Xiaocong saw that Yingniang was young but had the right to speak in the troupe, so he said a few words to appease everyone, and came to him.

For some reason, Qin Xiaocong felt that the way Yingniang looked at him was a bit strange.

Yingniang was very excited, with tears in her eyes, she saluted him with blessings, "Thank you, my lord, for saving me!"

Are you moved to tears?Qin Xiaocong was a little embarrassed, "You're welcome."

Yingniang looked at Qin Xiaocong obsessively, "I didn't expect that I would really see you again in this life."

Well, that sounds even weirder.Qin Xiaocong suddenly remembered something, the body he is using now belongs to Guo Shiqing, so, are Yingniang and Guo Shiqing old acquaintances?

At this time, He Lang stood between them and said coldly to Qin Xiaocong, "Have you seen enough?"

Qin Xiaocong was silent, how did this offend him?

Ying Niang wiped away her tears, "Young Master, do your work first." After speaking, she returned to the tightrope and continued the rehearsal.

After confirming that Yingniang was not transformed by Qiu Liyuan, Qin Xiaocong focused on the other "Seven Immortals".In appearance, Han Zhongli is too fat, Zhang Guo is too old, Tieguai Li is lame, Lan Caihe is too immature, and Cao Guoshu is too greasy. It seems that Lu Dongbin and Han Xiangzi are most likely Qiu Liyuan.

Qiu Liyuan is a man who looks at his face very much, and he likes to talk to beauties.Although Qin Xiaocong gained a reputation of being "vulgar" in the tomb, Qiu Liyuan always liked to talk to him because of his invincible beauty.Once, Qiu Liyuan deliberately turned into his appearance, but sighed dissatisfied that only the appearance was similar.Qin Xiaocong was quite proud, but the fat golden toad complained that no one could learn Qin Xiaocong's stupidity, ╭(╯^╰)╮.

But at this moment, Qin Xiaocong was using Guo Shiqing's body and couldn't use his spiritual power, so he made up his mind to ask He Lang to release him at night to investigate the situation.

Qin Xiaocong told He Lang of his plan, and He Lang said, "Okay."

Qin Xiaocong noticed that he had been looking at Yingniang, "It's not, I touched her when I caught her."

He Lang looked at him with cold eyes, Qin Xiaocong couldn't help shaking.

"She's not alive, so be careful."

As soon as He Lang's words came out, Qin Xiaocong's blood ran cold.

In the middle of the night, before Qin Xiaocong went out to look for someone, someone came looking for him.

"Young Master, Young Master..." A faint female voice came from the darkness, weeping and complaining.

"Squeak—" With a sound, the door of the room opened without wind, and a gust of dark air rushed over.

At this time, Qin Xiaocong was still in Guo Shiqing's body, and this tall, thin and frail mortal body was aroused by Yin Qi, and immediately had goose bumps all over his body.

Qin Xiaocong has been feeling fuzzy since hearing He Lang's words in the afternoon. What is it that Yingniang is not a living person? He hugged Yingniang with his own hands. Her body is still hot and soft, and she doesn't have any evil spirits. Why? Is it not a living person?

"Young Master..." There was another sound, getting closer and closer.

Qin Xiaocong heard this sound clearly, it was not Yingniang's!

The night outside the door was thick, without a trace of light, and bursts of gloom rushed into the room.

In the blink of an eye, Ying Niang appeared at the door.She is still wearing the appearance of He Xiangu, but the costumes and headgear on her body are brand new, as if someone has newly cut them out of colored paper.The makeup on her face was delicate, and against the backdrop of her red lips, her face became paler and lifeless.

"My lord," Yingniang sighed again when she saw Qin Xiaocong, "I finally saw you, do you still remember Yingniang?"

She approached Qin Xiaocong step by step, and Qin Xiaocong retreated step by step.Qin Xiaocong could see clearly, this Yingniang didn't even touch the ground!

"My lord..." Yingniang stretched out her hands towards Qin Xiaocong, as if she wanted to hug him.

Qin Xiaocong hurriedly hid behind He Lang, "What should I do, she seems to really know Young Master Guo? I don't want to be touched by her!"

"I won't let her touch you." He Lang said.

Qin Xiaocong threw himself on He Lang's back and touched him, "You are so kind!"

One thing, Qin Xiaocong was embarrassed to admit, he was a little scared by Ying Niang, her outfit was really weird!

He Lang's body tensed up suddenly.Qin Xiaocong's whole body was on his back, his arms wrapped around his shoulders, and his legs wrapped tightly around his waist. This is really...

Qin Xiaocong still didn't realize it, and kept screaming in He Lang's ear: "She's coming again, step back, step back!"

He Lang was so angry and bloody by him, he stretched his right hand to his waist, and tore off the ghost chain wrapped around his waist.

"Clatter!" There was a sound, and the ghost chain wrapped around He Lang's arm in a tame manner.

Perhaps sensing the murderous intent on the ghost chain, Yingniang stopped in her tracks.

He Lang was about to make a move, but Qin Xiaocong stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, if it's really a living person, don't beat him to death again!"

"No." He Lang affirmed, "This ghost chain will only hurt inhuman things."

After finishing speaking, He Lang no longer hesitated, threw the ghost chain at Yingniang, and shouted: "Break!"

Ying Niang couldn't dodge in time, and was hit straight by the ghost chain.

There was a crisp "pop", as if a tight thread had snapped.With this sound, Yingniang's body seemed to be pulled out of the bones, and she collapsed to the ground in a "speech".

The surrounding Yin Qi dissipated immediately, and the outside of the door was no longer as dark as ink, and the footsteps of the patrolling servants could still be heard.

Qin Xiaocong heaved a sigh of relief, the creepy atmosphere was finally broken.He jumped off He Lang to look at "Ying Niang" scattered on the ground.

This is not a living person at all, nor is it a dead person, but...

Qin Xiaocong picked up the small wooden stick that was broken in two, and then picked up the set of clothes cut out of colored paper, "This is a puppet, He Lang, please release me quickly, and let me see if Xiaoqiu made it. What the hell are you doing?"

"it is good."

Coming out of Guo Shiqing's body, Qin Xiaocong sniffed the small wooden stick and said affirmatively, "This is what Xiaoqiu made." He put his finger on the section of the wooden stick and gestured, "There must have been a puppet thread tied here before. , was cracked by you."

Qin Xiaocong pondered: "Is Yingniang just a puppet made by Xiaoqiu?"

"No." He Lang said, "The body of the one in the daytime belongs to Yingniang, but someone else is controlling her body. And..." He Lang pursed his lips slightly, looking a little unhappy, "She is in the After seeing you, I will act independently."

Qin Xiaocong corrected him, "I didn't see me, but Mr. Guo."

He Lang was taken aback, and nodded slowly, "Indeed."

Qin Xiaocong put away the wooden stick and colored paper, "Xiaoqiu is here, how can I not see him, let's go!"
