"The daughter of Xu Mansion in the south of the city is about to die. I heard that she was in a daze a few years ago. Master Xu has been looking for famous doctors but can't cure her. Now everyone is speechless."
In front of the gate of the prefect of Shanxi City, two petty officials in official uniforms were chatting about the rumors they had just heard.
"Hey, I only knew that something happened in Xu Mansion, but I didn't know that it had become so big?"
The clerk with the goatee said: "I heard from my old lady in the dental office of Xu Mansion that the mansion is now planning to hire Taoist monks to practice martial arts. Then what do you think the Taoist priests are cleaning out? It's getting more and more evil." Okay, from now on, the Xu family will have to go around the road, otherwise they will cause trouble and the whole family will be ruined."
The big-headed and honest little official responded: "The Xu Mansion is going to change. I will tell my mother-in-law when I get back today. From now on, don't go to the south of the city."
"Shut up, everyone. The government only supports you so that you can gossip here? Stop saying a few words. If people listen to this, you will lose the dignity of the government, and everyone will die!"
At this time, the leading arrester in the mansion came out and shouted to stop.
The two clerks shrank their heads, and the originally lazy and sparse discussion suddenly stopped. The head catcher also knew very well what they were discussing. He looked at the location of Xu Mansion in the south of the city and sighed and shook his head. Things in the world are unpredictable.
Everyone knows that this woman likes to chat about family matters, but once things get mysterious, even the elders will inevitably start curious discussions, and even the servants working under the government will inevitably start talking about her.
The matter also spread quickly through everyone's words in the streets and alleys. In a blink of an eye, things developed into a disaster in the Xu family, and the only legitimate lady was about to die of illness.
At the turn of spring and summer, at dusk, under the afterglow of the setting sun, the breeze began to turn colder. In front of Miss Xu Zhiyi's boudoir, the little girls were immersed in boiling medicine. The courtyard was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and no one looked anxious or hurried. .
Miss Xu, who is at the center of the rumor, is sitting on a recliner with her eyes closed, holding an incense heater in her hand, and covered with an embroidered quilt. Although her face is pale, she is not as lingering on the bed as the outside world said.
The ginseng tea on the table cooled and was changed, but she still fell asleep peacefully, as if she would sleep like this forever and never wake up again.
Seeing that the day was getting late, the maid beside her called her lady softly, but there was no response. As usual, she could only change the thin quilt to a thicker one, and then close the window to prevent the master from catching a cold.
At this time, people gradually came outside the courtyard. The leader was the two elders of the Xu family, followed by a man dressed as a monk. There was only a peach tree branch in his hair. He was wearing coarse white clothes and a green coat. , the shirt is embroidered with light mist and flowing clouds, hazy and fairy-like, and the feet are also ordinary cloud shoes of the same style, and there is no other clothing.
The man's face is very upright, with sword-shaped eyebrows and apricot eyes, a high bridge of nose, pretty thin lips, and the dark brown eyes show indifference when he raises his eyes and blinks. There are few people in the world who have the appearance of a weak lover, but he reveals that he is not close from the inside out. The secular world is the foundation of the immortal spirit.
The man was followed by a group of maids and servants, and a large group of people rushed towards Xu Zhiyi's Ruyi Pavilion.
"Daozhang Shen, this is the residence of my little girl. I have searched all the doctors for my little girl's weakness and qi deficiency, but they all said the same thing. There is no reason for her qi deficiency and there is no way to cure it. She can only survive by relying on tonics. My little girl's day I fell asleep every day, and saw that my waking hours were getting shorter and shorter. I really had no other choice, so I went to Qingfeng Mountain to invite you, the Taoist Priest. If things get better, I will thank you greatly."
It was Mr. Xu Mansion who spoke. The lady beside her listened and wiped her tears with a kerchief, her anxiety palpable. For a moment, everyone in the Xu family looked at this last hope with expectant eyes, Shen Xichen.
Shen Xi lowered his eyes slightly, leaned forward and bowed: "Mr. Xu, everything in the world has a cause and effect. I should do my best. The rest depends on Miss Xu's own destiny. Although I am a Taoist, I am still a man. It is inconvenient to visit the lady's boudoir rashly, I will use my spiritual sense to visit, I hope the master and madam will forgive me, but there are many people and the rest of the people need to leave temporarily."
After saying that, Mr. Xu gave an order, and the serving girls in the courtyard left the small courtyard one after another. After Xu Zhiyi was the only one left in the room, Shen Xichen closed his eyes and made seals with one hand in front of his eyes.
"Spiritual consciousness, open!"
After giving the order, an indescribable momentum suddenly surged around Shen Xichen's body. Everyone around him was frightened by this momentum and just waited in place, not daring to speak.
Soon, Shen Xichen's spiritual consciousness covered the entire room, except for the weak soul in the main room. It was indeed the same as what was known before. The soul and body were intact, and it was not caused by trauma.
Moreover, the soul of a girl raised in a boudoir is relatively pure and has not been contaminated by evil spirits in the world. Although the spirit body is weak now, it has not dissipated. However, it is absolutely unbearable to continue to let it go. Sooner or later, it will come out event.
After Shen Xichen manipulated his spiritual sense and felt it carefully for a moment, he found that the state of the soul seemed to be sucked out of life by something, but the donor did not feel any pain or unwillingness, as if she was willing to provide her own life force, just like being pregnant. It is normal for a woman to provide her own nutrition to the fetus, but she obviously does not know that doing so may kill herself.
But where is that thing hidden? It was impossible to leave easily due to such a need for energy. Shen Xichen's spiritual consciousness carefully explored the room.
I soon realized that something was wrong, that it was evil. Why didn't I notice a trace of malice? Is this thing powerful enough to hide malice? But even so, how could such a great evil see the power of an ordinary girl's family? Something fishy happened. There are no clues available in this house. The most important thing now is to stabilize the soul first and then make long-term plans.
Shen Xi used Shen Nian Jue to inject his own spiritual power into Miss Xu's body. Gradually, the originally weak soul also regained some luster.
Outside the room, Shen Xichen slowly opened his eyes. He did not make a sound immediately, but stood there in deep thought. The hearts of everyone around him tensed.
Mrs. Xu couldn't hold it any longer and said in a trembling voice: "Daoist Master Shen, what's going on...? What happened to my little girl? When will she recover?"
At this time, Mr. Xu interrupted: "Madam, don't worry, Taoist Shen is a young and talented person, and he is undoubtedly the best in Qingfeng Mountain. With Taoist Shen here, your heart will definitely be cured!" After saying that, he looked at Shen Xichen with a seemingly relaxed look.
Mr. Xu is worthy of speaking out as a businessman, but he is a good person. He went to Qingfeng Mountain before and insisted on funding the repairs of the palace. He directly begged the master and asked me to go out in person. Now I know how to support people first. This Is he afraid that his daughter is in critical condition, or that I will just give up and run away if I don't have the ability?
Shen Xi smiled lightly, but his eyes were always looking at the closed door. This evil spirit was very interesting. It was not a bad trip down the mountain, so I spent some time playing with him.
"Mr. Xu has broken the path. Although there is no progress now, Miss Xu's state is really weird and must be related to the monster. Today I have used my spiritual consciousness to stabilize Miss Xu's soul. It can be relieved for a few days, but there are some problems I still need to ask Miss Xu personally. When Miss Xu wakes up, please let me know in time. It’s already getting late, so let’s all leave today.”
Shen Xichen didn't want to explain more, so he left the Xu Mansion directly after speaking.
As the sun sets in the west, there will be no end to the night in the Xu family.
In the cycle of cause and effect, everything in the past is the prologue.
