After this disaster, the Yi family is considered to be in ruins, but the mansion has not been sold yet. It is still in the upper reaches of Xingqing City, where wealthy businessmen gather. This is the reason why Tang Fu said before that selling the mansion can be worth ten beads.
The main entrance of the Yi family's mansion is a clean and wide bluestone street, and unlike other streets that are busy with traffic, this street is very deserted. This is because the streets are full of wealthy businessmen, so there are no small vendors selling goods along the street.
The Yi family's mansion is quite majestic and majestic. The red lacquered door is three people tall and can accommodate two carriages running side by side. On the door is a thick black wooden plaque with the word "Yi Mansion" written on it. In the center of the door is a golden copper door buckle, and Two majestic stone lions guarded both sides, typical of a wealthy family.
When Tang Fu saw the mansion, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, trotted up and knocked on the door.
There was a muffled "dong-dong" sound in the night sky, very rapid and powerful, and it was obvious that Tang Fu was really anxious.
Immediately there was the sound of small steps inside the door, and the red lacquered door was slowly opened, revealing the figure of a thin girl, who was pushing the door open with all her strength.
Tang Fu quickly went to help and pushed open the door with the thin girl.
Then he approached the thin girl again and whispered a few words to her. The girl immediately hurriedly put her somewhat scattered hair behind her shoulders, raised her head and looked at Xu Huaigu and his group, her eyes seemed to be filled with light.
She quickly walked up to Xu Huaigu and his group, bowed, and said delicately: "Yi Yun has met all the immortals."
Tang Fu also quickly explained: "This is our Miss Yi family, whose single name is Yun."
Xu Huaigu nodded and took a few steps closer. Only then could he clearly see the appearance of this young lady from the Yi family at night.
Yi Yun was born with the appearance of a typical boudoir lady. Her skin was as good as snow and her eyebrows were delicate. When she looked at Xu Huaigu, her eyes seemed to be filled with autumn water.
It is indeed as Tang Fu said, quite beautiful.
She was wearing a goose-yellow dress today, with a short white belt tied around her waist, which just highlighted her extremely well-proportioned figure. Her hair was deliberately arranged behind her shoulders, making her look even more charming. However, Xu Huaigu also noticed that her eye circles were slightly red, her hair was messy, her face was haggard, and her thin body felt like it was going to be blown over by the wind.
Tang Fu looked at his young lady's haggard appearance, and sighed with distress, and said to Xu Huaigu and his party: "Masters, please follow me."
Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin walked side by side in the front. Xiao Pingcui also knew that this was not a place for fun, so she held Yu Qin's hand tightly and followed her. Huang Shan followed them and looked at Yiyun twice, which made Yiyun's heart beat faster and she was so panicked that she didn't dare to look up.
The Yi family's mansion is actually not small. After entering, there is a large back garden with jagged rocks, various plants and trees growing in the garden, and a small pavilion standing beside a small pond.
The group of people followed Tang Fu into a secluded path. The vegetation on both sides of the path was messy because no one was taking care of it.
Tang Fu said with emotion: "The master of the house used to dote on our young lady the most. The young lady liked flowers and plants, so our Yi family's mansion was filled with all kinds of plants and trees. But now the owner of the house has suffered a disaster, the servants have left, the garden has been abandoned, and the young lady has been living all day long." I shed tears and now my body is suffering from the disease. I hope this can end soon."
Xu Huaigu comforted him and said, "I will."
As the group walked along, they saw no one else in the huge Yi family, which was deserted and miserable.
Tang Fu said fondly: "When the master just got sick, there were many servants who remembered the kindness of the previous master and were willing to stay. However, as time went by, the Yi family could not pay wages, and everyone had to find a living, so they all I left, and now the only outsiders in Yi Mansion are me and another cook."
Soon, the group saw a two-story pavilion built deep in the mansion, with dim lights coming from the windows.
Tang Fu walked to the door, opened it gently, and said softly to the group of people: "We should not talk after we go in. As long as there is a little noise that disturbs the owner of the house, the owner will get sick again."
The group of people nodded in agreement.
Tang Fu then led the four people in, and after walking through several doors, they arrived at a bedroom.
There is a white plain bed in the bedroom. In addition, there are four lamps hanging on the four corners, emitting firelight and illuminating the bedroom.
There was a skinny man lying on the plain bed. Although it was summer, he was covered with a thick quilt, and the man was still shivering under the quilt.
Huang Shan opened a corner of the quilt and saw the man's face.
The man's skin was dry and dehydrated, almost eerily pale, and there were faint corpse spots growing out from the base of his ears. It was obvious that he was already on the verge of death.
The scene in front of him was really weird, and under the dim light of the night, it looked even more weird and terrifying. Yu Qin felt scared in her heart when she looked at it.
Huang Shan opened the eyelids of Yi Xingping, the head of the Yi family, with two fingers and looked at his pupils. At this moment, Yi Xingping suddenly trembled all over, quickly stretched out his hands to pinch Huang Shan's neck, and then jumped out of the bed like a carp.
Yu Qin and Ping Cui screamed and ran out of the room in panic. Xu Huaigu was also frightened. The hand holding the sword could neither move out nor draw back, and was at a loss for a moment.
Just when Yi Xingping was about to get sick and hurt someone, Huang Shan quickly kicked him away, then ducked to his side, quickly cut off his hand, and pinned him to the wall.
Yi Xingping was really strong when he got sick, and even Huang Shan's monk's physique couldn't suppress him. He quickly tapped a few more of his acupuncture points, and Yi Xingping's desperately resisting body gradually subsided.
Tang Fu was so frightened that he panicked and said, "What's going on? The head of the family has never been like this before."
Huang Shan frowned tightly and looked very unhappy: "This is because the ghost technique has reached the depths of his mind and is about to control his mind, so he goes crazy uncontrollably."
Then Huang Shan and Xu Huaigu carried Yi Xingping back to the bed. Huang Shan checked again before waving for Xu Huaigu and Tang Fu to go out.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Tang Fu asked impatiently: "Chief Immortal, do you think our master can be saved?"
Huang Shan sympathized and said: "It's difficult, it's difficult. He was not only possessed by a ghost, but also had all three souls and seven souls taken away from him, so he was in a coma for a long time. If he wants to cure it completely, he can only start again. Retrieve his incomplete soul. And all I can do now is to use talismans to temporarily alleviate the erosion of his mind by ghost magic and prevent him from going crazy again. But he still can't wake up and can only be in a coma until his soul returns to its original position. .”
After listening to Huang Shan's words, Yi Yun walked up to Huang Shan and asked anxiously: "Excuse me, Immortal, how can I get my soul back?"
Huang Shan laughed at himself: "Recovering the soul? That is really harder than climbing to the sky. The soul that was taken away by the ghost may have been eaten by the ghost as a nourishing food. Whether it will remain in the world is a question. To take a step back, even if the soul is still there, do you know how difficult it is to regain it from a group of high-level ghosts that steal people's souls?"
He thought for a while and said: "At least, at least a monk in the sixth realm has the strength to take it back. Don't look at me, I really can't help with this matter. I'm just a small monk in the fourth realm. How can I take it back?" Do you have that kind of ability? If you go, you will just die."
Yiyun was very worried and said quickly: "Does the immortal know any friends who can help?"
Huang Shan glanced at her strangely.
Is this girl really ignorant or is her brain burned out by grief? They all said that you need at least a six-level monk to help. He is already at the level of the founder of a small third-rate sect in a local area. Who will help you in vain?
He pondered for a while and said: "Actually, there is another way. The soul can be nourished. As long as we find herbs that can nourish the soul, we can also save him."
Yiyun seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Immortal, I will ask Butler Tang to look for the medicinal herbs. No matter what the cost, we will find it."
Huang Shan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "There's no need to look for it. It's harder than taking back the soul from the hands of ghosts. Every herb that can nourish the soul is a unique creation of God, and it is missing from the entire Dayu treasury." You must have a share, you are just two ordinary people, where can you find it?"
Yiyun's smile gradually became dull, and the hope in her eyes was quickly extinguished ruthlessly.
Two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She could not stand firmly and was about to fall down. Xu Huaigu quickly stepped forward to hold her up.
There is nothing more despairing than having your hopes up and then ruthlessly extinguishing them.
Huang Shan originally had no intention of getting involved in this matter. Parting and separation are human nature. How can little people like them be shaken? He learned this truth when he was very young. Who can he talk to about those pains?
It can only be broken into pieces and swallowed.
Just looking at Yiyun's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but think of the first time he and his master met thirty years ago.
He was just a seven-year-old boy at that time. After the village where he grew up was destroyed, he wandered alone in the mountains and forests.
He would never forget that day. It was snowing heavily in the sky. He braved the snow to dig a hole on the edge of a frozen river. Then he reached in and searched for green snails in the mud, but found nothing. His hands were so cold that black.
Cold and hungry, he felt he wouldn't survive the winter. His eyes at that time should be as desperate as Yiyun's eyes now.
Then he saw the man walking towards him from the river, holding a half-bitten steamed bun in his hand.
It was because of that half steamed bun that Huang Shan decided to follow him.
He had forgotten his real name a long time ago, so the man gave him the word "kind" and hoped that he would be kind.
He later found out that the person who was eating hard steamed buns in the snow that day turned out to be a monk. He was considered very wealthy in the secular world, but he and Huang Shan only ate steamed buns and pickles. Because he said that as long as you follow him, you are Ye Xiu. Although Ye Xiu is rich, he must not forget his duty. It is Ye Xiu's duty and life to endure hardship, so he can only eat steamed buns.
When Huang Shan thought of this, tears slowly welled up unconsciously, which made Xu Huaigu very puzzled.
Huang Shan changed his mind and said, "Don't worry about this. I will try my best to help you find your father's soul, but not now. I am not strong enough, so I can only find someone to help me then."
Yiyun had no choice but to agree: "Okay, everything will be up to the Immortal's arrangement. In any case, Yiyun still thanked the Immortal for his kindness."
"It's okay. There will always be bad times in life, and the patience will pass. Now arrange a quiet house for me, and I will start using the talismans to exorcise ghosts. Your father's illness cannot be delayed any longer."
Yi Yun said gratefully: "Okay, then, Immortal, please come with me. Everyone else should also follow me. Although our Yi family is in decline now, there are still many guest rooms that can be accommodated. If you don't dislike it, you can stay here." Be here."
Xu Huaigu said kindly: "Wherever we go, we will stay here and we won't have to worry about Miss Yi."
Yi Yun looked at Xu Huaigu, her eyes brightened, and she was a little amazed at Xu Huaigu's appearance and temperament. He had both the sassiness of a knight and the gentleness and elegance of a Confucian scholar.
Her mind flashed, and she immediately realized her rudeness, and said quickly: "No trouble, no trouble, just come with me."
So the group followed Yiyun.
Yu Qin was a little disappointed, because she clearly saw the unnatural look in Yiyun's eyes, and she also knew the reason for that unnatural look. Although she knew that one glance didn't mean anything, she just felt uncomfortable, as if there was a lump in her throat.
She had never been upset because of someone else's look before, but now because of Xu Huaigu, Yu Qin hated herself for being so sensitive now.
Is this the trouble of growing up?
She looked up at the sky. The sky was filled with stars, which was very spectacular.
She doesn't know the answer.
