The living room suddenly became a little colder.
Chang Wei sat upright unconsciously.
Xiao Yunzhan subconsciously moved closer to Cao Ren.
Cao Ren only felt that it was a bit funny in the weirdness.
"Three ghost babies?" Xu Yanzhi's relaxed expression suddenly turned serious.
"That's right, three, they look like they are between one month and two years old." Du Lan nodded, glanced at Chang Wei, raised his voice a little and said: "I said that this evil spirit came from outside, it is absolutely impossible It has something to do with my family Ling'er, and someone wants to harm my Du family."
Chang Wei was thoughtful and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Ling'er is a lady, so naturally she can't do such things."
Xu Yanzhi then asked: "After you arrived, did those three ghost babies hurt anyone?"
Cao Ren put down the tea cup and looked at Du Lan.
"They didn't hurt anyone, but they seemed to be playing tricks on us. They were flying around in the yard, crying and laughing, appearing and disappearing, and they were so infiltrative that they scared all the family members and ran for their lives in a hurry." Du Lan sighed with a hint of anger. He said happily: "Fortunately, my servant Laifu was resourceful and found a handful of calamus leaves and waved them away, and then drove away the three ghost babies. That night, everyone in the Du family suffered from insomnia."
"In this way, these three ghost babies are not very violent and have no intention of harming anyone. A mere family member can use calamus leaves to drive them away, which shows that the ghost babies are not very advanced." Xu Yanzhi thought thoughtfully, The look of confidence returned to his face.
Cao Ren frowned slightly, but didn't say much.
Du Lan continued: "In the next three days, the ghost babies of the three ghost babies will not leave. They will appear in Ling'er's courtyard every day, playing and frolicking, or wailing incessantly. Even if Ling'er moves to another residence, they will always be there. Go find me and exhaust the efforts of the Du family. In just the past two days, most of the servants and maids have fled, and the rest are all loyal servants. If you don't come again, you really can't hold on. "
"Don't worry, Master Du. I'm here today just to slay demons. I will definitely slay evil spirits and restore peace to Du Mansion." Xu Yanzhi slapped the tea table with a loud voice.
"Then it all depends on Taoist Xu." Du Lan looked at him expectantly.
"Where is Miss Du now? Can you take me to see her to see if she is contaminated with any evil things, which is why she is haunted by the ghost baby." Xu Yanzhi stood up.
"Yes, I was just about to go see Sister Ling'er and comfort her." Chang Wei stood up and agreed, a little nervous in anticipation.
"This..." Du Lan looked hesitant. After all, she was a girl who had not left the court. Even Chang Wei had not seen his daughter for more than ten years.
"Mr. Du, what Xu Daochang said is right. Miss Du has provoked evil spirits. If you don't even meet her, how can you find the source of the evil spirits? How can you talk about eradicating them completely? Not only do you have to see Miss Du, you also have to go around the house. Let’s investigate.” Cao Ren agreed with a smile.
Hearing this, Du Lan did not dare to shirk anymore, and nodded quickly: "Okay, all immortals, please follow me."
…
The back house is in an exquisite garden.
A 28-year-old girl was wearing a white fox fur, holding her chin, sitting in front of the boudoir window in a daze. She had a thin face, deep-set eye sockets, and two dark circles. She yawned from time to time and looked very sleepy.
A maid was helping her comb her hair, also yawning again and again.
"Okay, just put your hair in a bun. You won't go out to meet people anyway, so your head feels better." The girl said a little irritably.
"Miss, my uncle is here!" At this time, a maid in green walked in quickly, with a joyful look on her face: "There are also three immortal masters who can exorcise evil spirits, and they are heading towards the backyard."
"What uncle, I haven't left the government yet!" Du Chuling said with a bit of anger on his face, "Didn't the Chang family say that I had ruined my reputation and wanted to break off the engagement? What is he doing hypocritically at this time?"
The maid quickly suppressed her smile and said cautiously: "Perhaps Mr. Chang believes in the young lady, so he brought the immortal master here in person. After all, you and he have been engaged since childhood. Now that the wedding is approaching, how can you break off the engagement just because of some rumors."
When Du Chuling heard this, the anger on his face softened a little, and then he asked: "Have you seen what he looks like? What does he look like?"
The maid thought about it for a moment and said, "Mr. Chang's weapons are extraordinary and his martial arts are powerful."
"Whoever met him would just use these two words over and over again. It seems that he looks average and it's hard to explain clearly." Du Chuling sneered.
The maid in green opened her mouth, unable to answer.
"Miss, let me change your clothes. Apply some rouge, gouache, and wear some hair accessories. You will look better. After all, this is the first time you meet Mr. Chang." The maid who was combing her hair suddenly became much more awake. She looked at Du Chuling and said .
"The Chang family sent people to humiliate me the day before yesterday, and today Chang Wei pretended to bring people to get rid of the demon. Mostly because he wanted to verify the truth of the news that I stole someone." Du Chuling curled his lips: "I have been tortured by a woman who wants to please her own appearance. I'm like this, and I still have to dress up to see him? Just let him see me in such a state of desolation, even if I break off the engagement, my Du family can't afford to support me."
The two maids knew their young lady's temper and did not dare to say anything more.
"Where's Laifu?" Du Chuling suddenly asked.
"He's guarding outside the courtyard." The maid in green said, "When I came here earlier, I saw him taking a nap at the entrance of the courtyard, holding a handful of calamus leaves."
Hearing this, Du Chuling showed a bit of guilt on his face. He stood up, took off his fox fur and handed it to the maid: "Take this fox fur and cover him with it. He has been keeping watch in the yard these days. We Only then can I sleep peacefully for a while, while the other servants stay far away."
"Yes." The maid agreed, took the fox fur and went out.
"Okay, don't comb it, just let it hang loosely." Du Chuling pulled away her half-combed bun, and her black hair was loose. With her pale face, eye-catching dark circles, and a grimace, she looked very good. A crazy bitch.
Du Chuling looked at his own appearance in the bronze mirror and chuckled.
The maid who was combing her hair stopped talking, with a look of helplessness on her face.
Outside the courtyard, Du Lan led everyone to the villa, and happened to see the maid in green covering the servant who was huddled in the corner of the courtyard and taking a nap.
"What are you doing?" Du Lan frowned and asked. This fox fur was just made for Du Chuling this year. How decent is it for a servant?
"Master." The maid in green quickly stood up straight and explained: "Laifu stayed in the yard all night last night and was so tired that he fell asleep at the door. The lady was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she asked me to cover him with some clothes."
"Ling'er is kind-hearted." Du Lan frowned, saying this to Chang Wei.
The conversation between the two woke up the servant who was napping. He raised his head with sleepy eyes. When he saw Du Lan and others, he stood up quickly and said respectfully: "Master, you are here."
"Laifu, you have worked hard these past few nights. Go back and rest." Du Lan patted his shoulder and said kindly: "Now that Taoist Xu and the two immortal masters are here, they will definitely get rid of the evil spirit tonight. There’s no need to keep it.”
"Ah... that's great." Lai Fuhan smiled and looked at Cao Ren and others, his expression became more respectful: "I have met all the immortal masters."
Cao Ren also looked at this loyal and fearless servant. He looked to be in his early twenties. He was wearing a short blue cloth. He was of medium height and had an honest appearance. He was holding a handful of dried calamus leaves in his arms and was still wearing a jacket. The fine fox fur said hello and was about to leave.
"Laifu, the ghost baby only appears at night. It's almost noon now. What are you doing here?" Cao Ren asked casually.
Laifu paused, with a somewhat honest smile on his face: "Miss has been very frightened these days, so I just wanted to stay at the door during the day so that she could sleep peacefully."
"Oh... Then you are really a loyal servant." Cao Ren nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled out a calamus from his arms, "You dare to drive away ghosts with this thing, you are really brave."
Laifu patted his chest and said: "I'm not afraid of fairy jokes. My nickname in my hometown is 'Lai Bold'. I've been very courageous since I was a child. I'm famous for not being afraid of ghosts in my hometown. I dare to turn my head on a mass grave." Go to sleep. Master and miss treat me well, and I definitely can’t back down at this time."
Cao Ren stared at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "I think you are indeed very courageous."
Laifu lowered his eyes and did not look at Cao Ren, as if he had just noticed the fox fur on his body. He quickly pulled it off and handed it to the maid in green, cupping his hands and saying, "Then Laifu will leave first. Thank you, sir."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Du Lan waved his hand and said to the maid: "Go and tell the lady, I will bring nephew Chang Weixian and three immortals to exorcise her from evil spirits, so that she can be more decent when she comes out to meet guests. "
"Yes, Master." The maid in green walked in quickly holding the fox fur in her arms.
"Everyone, please come in. This is the garden where my little girl lives." Du Lan led everyone into the courtyard.
Chang Wei straightened his gown, straightened the jade hairpin on his head, opened the jade fan in his hand and fanned it. He felt a little cold from the wind, so he put it away with a smile, looking nervously and expectantly at the maid entering. door.
"The Yin Qi in this courtyard is strong and does not dissipate during the day. It is indeed caused by ghosts, and they are quite evil." Xu Yanzhi turned over his hand and took out a golden disk with a pointer on it spinning. As he walked around the courtyard, The speed of rotation is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and it never calms down.
"What is he?" Cao Ren asked curiously.
"The Yin Qi Compass is generally used to determine where ghosts hide. However, it is too low-level and can only roughly determine which location has the heavier Yin Qi." Xiao Yunzhan explained.
"You have something better?"
"I was in a hurry to go out this time and forgot to bring it with me. I will bring it out for you to play with next time I go home."
"Brothers."
Cao Ren and Xiao Yunzhan were also looking at the courtyard calmly. The yin energy was indeed a bit strong, making people feel uncomfortable when entering the courtyard. However, they had to meet Miss Du after a while to know that the ghost baby had been following her. reason.
…
"Decent? Haha, my dignity, Du Chuling's, is for decent people, and Chang Wei doesn't deserve it!" After hearing what the maid said, Du Chuling curled his lips and said, "I will hang myself here today, and I will never dress up for Chang Wei! "
"Miss, do you plan to go out to meet people like this?" The maid looked melancholy.
"Yes, that's it."
