Ayu felt dizzy for the last time, and when she opened her eyes, they were already at the door of Shi's house in Qilin Town. She consciously pretended to be an ornament again and hung it back on Shen Xichen's waist, but this time it was slightly different. Shen Xichen's voice suddenly appeared in Ayu's ears, but he did not speak.
"Tsk, I haven't made any progress at all, it's still so easy."
"Ah?...Ah!" Ayu suddenly thought that he could enter her spiritual consciousness and talk to her directly, "This is a good method. I finally don't have to talk to myself. Why haven't you used it before?"
"You were too annoyed before, but now you're used to it."
"...Then such a powerful Taoist Shen, can you teach me how to drive you out?"
If you could see Ayu's expression at this moment, it would be that she was smiling but not smiling, extremely yin and yang.
The sky was getting dark and the sun was still shining. Shen Xichen knocked on the door of the Shi family. After a long time, a voice asked in a vigilant voice: "Who is it? There are no outsiders in the Shi family now."
"I'm from Qingfeng Mountain, I came from the Imperial City and asked if the Tong family's wife is well now." Shen Xichen knew that the Shi family must have heard about the Tong family's tragedy in the Imperial City, and that's why they were so nervous.
"Then please wait a moment and let me make an announcement."
After a while, a voice came from far away: "Hurry up, open the door and let the Taoist priest in."
The door opened, and a man with an ordinary appearance but dressed in rich clothes hurriedly ushered Shen Xichen in, and then carefully closed the door.
Just when Shen Xi was about to ask about the Shi family's situation, the man couldn't hold it in anymore and hurriedly said: "Taoist priest, please save our Shi family, please save my wife, that evil spirit will not let us go." , I’m Shi Maoyuan, my wife is Tong Sui’er, the second daughter of the Tong family.”
Shen Xichen followed the master of the Shi family towards the inner courtyard. Ayu noticed that there were many ornately decorated bottles and jars hanging on the ground, on the trees, on the eaves and windows.
"Master Shi, have other cultivators already arrived?"
Shi Maoyuan looked at where Shen Xichen's gaze fell, nodded and said: "Yes, I have been here, but when I heard that it was related to the Tong family in the imperial city, they all ran away. I can only buy some self-defense weapons from them, Taoist priest , you are from Qingfeng Mountain, if you leave again, no one will be able to help our family." I saw Mr. Shi's face was sad, and his face was almost wrinkled.
Magic weapon? Just hanging on the tree? Just some? The Shi family turned out to be so wealthy, and Ayu was greedy.
"That's why I'm here. Where is Mrs. Tong at this time?"
After hearing Shen Xichen's answer, Mr. Shi walked excitedly toward the main house, his steps moving much faster.
He is really a person who writes his emotions on his face. He looks like a person who values friendship and loyalty. Things in the Tong family are extremely bad. If he wanted to protect himself, he could have let Tong Er fend for himself, but he didn't do that. , but stood in front of his wife and resisted the evil ghost with mortal strength.
I thought that the presence of magic weapons everywhere in the Shi family was an exaggeration, but when I saw the main house of the Tong family, I felt that it was an exaggeration. I saw that the main house was hung with exorcism bells all over the place. At first glance, the silver bells dazzled. The sun's rays were also reflected, so everyone raised their sleeves to block the light to avoid hurting their eyes.
Pushing open the door of the main room, there was a tinkle, tinkle, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink. Ayu's whole soul trembled. Mr. Shi's love was so loud.
The people in the house also heard the sound. They looked at the door with horror on their faces through the curtain. When they saw it was a person, their fear turned into aggrieved. They threw themselves into her husband's arms and scolded her like a child as to why her lover left her alone. Mr. Shi also did the same. Quietly comforting.
"Madam, don't be afraid. Now the Taoist priest from Qingfeng Mountain is here to help. It will be fine. The evil ghost will not dare to come. The Taoist priest should have something to say to you. Stop crying." The woman in his arms then said He gradually stopped talking and was helped to sit on a low stool.
"Taoist Master, please take a seat. If you have any questions, just ask and we will tell you everything." He said and filled a cup of tea.
After Shen Xichen sat down, he got straight to the point.
"Mrs. Tong, you all know about the imperial city, so I won't go into details. However, this evil ghost only does evil to people directly related to the Tong family and has not harmed anyone else. He must be familiar with the Tong family and has some After Yuanyuan's death, he seeks revenge out of obsession, so please think carefully about the disputes that occurred in the Tong family before you left the cabinet."
Tong Er frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Taoist priest, before I left the court, I was also a girl in the boudoir. I really don't know what disputes happened in my family... But Taoist priest, the whole family of my Tong family is really dead." ?"
Ayu was confused when she heard this. Tong Er didn't seem to believe that her Tong family was dead. The Imperial City and Qishan were not close to each other. It was rumored that there was no way that the Tong family was still alive.
Shen Xichen's eyes turned cold and his tone was slightly tough: "Mrs. Tong, why do you have doubts about the life and death of the Tong family? I hope you understand that only by knowing the identity of the evil ghost can you know how to deal with him. The Tong family is still alive, but Their souls are now in the evil spirits. If you still want your family to wake up again, please think again and stop hiding anything."
Mr. Shi looked at both sides in embarrassment. He was afraid of offending Shen Xichen, so he also advised his wife not to be stubborn.
When Tong Er heard the news that he was still alive, he seemed to be relieved and replied again: "Taoist Shen, please forgive me. Although I am married, my parents have loved us children since I was a child. Even if there is a slight possibility, I We all hope that they are still alive. Although our ancestors of the Tong family have been officials in the government for many years, by my father's generation, they had already given up their official positions and engaged in business. Therefore, it cannot be a grudge in the officialdom. My father's business is based on integrity, even if there are some The minor grievances have all been resolved. Not to mention my mother, she has never had any conflicts with other merchant wives. My brother and sister-in-law are very loving. My brother is learning the art of merchants from his father. If he does something wrong, What has ruined the reputation of the entire family in the shopping mall is that he is the most cautious. My sister-in-law is also a very kind person, and she has raised her two children very well. Only my younger brother is really idle on weekdays and does not like to study at all. , but I dare to guarantee with my life that he is definitely not a playboy. My other sisters and I are also raised in a boudoir, and there is no possibility of doing evil. Taoist priest, this is the situation of my Tong family. "
Shen Xi took a sip of tea and thought carefully about whether there was anything wrong with Tong Er's words.
But Ayu didn't think that the Tong family would be as simple as Tong Er said. There must be something wrong. But it sounded like Tong Si was the most likely to commit the crime. She was willing to risk her life to save it. Others didn't sound like it. They were all justified. According to...
"Justifiable?"
Ayu was dissatisfied that her thoughts were interrupted by Shen Xichen's sudden voice.
But Shen Xichen was reminded by Ayu that if people want to hide something, they subconsciously don't mention it too much. It is easiest when thinking about his parents, younger brother, and elder brother's family, and the three sisters mentioned it in one sentence. Who among the three is it?
"I heard that Mrs. Tong's younger sister, Mrs. Tong Wu, has also reached the age of hairpins. I guess the Tong family has already started discussing marriage for her. Maybe something unpleasant happened during the marriage discussion."
As Shen Xichen spoke, he picked up the tea cup and carefully frothed the tea, but his attention was on Tong Er. When he mentioned Tong Wu, she seemed to tighten her handkerchief.
"It's really a pity for the fifth sister to discuss the matter of marriage..." Shi Maoyuan noticed that his wife was nervous and wanted to speak out to help her, but Tong Er suddenly spoke up, louder than him.
"It is true that my sister has already reached hair age, but she is the last daughter in the family. Her parents love her and have not proposed a marriage for her, so there is no possibility of anything unpleasant happening." After saying this, he felt that doing so would make it look like there was something wrong with the fifth sister.
Shen Xichen didn't think so, it wasn't Tong Wu, and then the conversation changed,
"Really, that's a pity indeed. Miss Tong San must have gotten married, but I can't find out where she got married, so I can't go to her place to protect her safety. I don't know whether she's alive or dead now. I just hope that the evil ghost won't do it." Go find her, even if she has been killed, the evil ghost will probably only take away her soul. As long as the evil ghost is removed, she still has a chance of survival."
As soon as these words came out, Tong Er's expression darkened instantly, and he lowered his head and remained silent.
"Is there something wrong with what I said, Miss Tong Er!"
"The evil ghost won't look for her anymore, she is already dead..."
By the time we left the main house, it was completely dark.
Shen Xichen used his spiritual power to create a barrier in the Shi family. Until now, there was no response to Jin Mu's exorcism bell. He already had the answer in his heart.
"Why don't you keep asking? We've obviously already asked the key." Ayu was puzzled, but looking at Shen Xichen, she looked very understanding and wasn't going to take the initiative to tell her. She was not as smart as him.
Shen Xichen was already hiding in the dark. He didn't know when the evil spirit would come, so he could only guard the Shi family at all times. This passive situation made him very unhappy.
After he calmed down, he answered Ayu's question.
"She deliberately concealed it. No matter how much I asked, it would be in vain. You also know that the most important thing is that Tong San is dead. The evil ghost must be related to her, or maybe Tong San himself. Something must have happened between her and the Tong family, so Why is it that, as the daughter of the Tong family, no one knows where she married. Now the truth will be revealed when the evil ghost appears."
Ayu understood, but Shen Xichen's ability to talk tricks was as good as ever. She remembered that in the early summer, when he first came to Xu's house, he also talked to Ayi like this.
Now it seems that he is so skilled at hiding, and he even found a good place like a treetop. Ayu can't help but suspect that he hid like this in the Xu family at that time. Ha, what a villain.
It's been a long time since Ayu described Shen Xichen like this.
But I hope the ending this time can be as safe as in the Xu family.
The night was getting darker and it was already late at night. Shen Xichen meditated with his eyes closed, releasing his spiritual consciousness to be alert to his surroundings. The jade pendant was placed safely in the palm of his hand.
Ayu adjusted her breath and replenished her spirit in Yuperi. Because she had to deal with evil spirits, Ayu herself asked Shen Xichen to cut off the supply of spiritual energy and let him fight with all his strength.
She is now able to absorb natural spiritual energy on her own. Although it is not as abundant as Qingfeng Mountain, which is almost fed to her mouth, it is still enough.
At the same time, a black shadow jumped onto the Shijia wall with its back against the night.
Shen Xichen opened his eyes, his spiritual power instantly became stronger and became more threatening, and he focused on exploring the direction of the black shadow.
Ayu was awakened by the sudden fluctuation of spiritual energy. She thought that the evil ghost was coming. She was startled and instantly got into the lapel of Shen Xichen's clothes. She had already thought about this. If the evil ghost came, then she would definitely not be able to leave Shen Xichen. It's too far away, and you can't float nearby and affect him, let alone get yourself hurt. This is the best way.
Shen Xichen's chest felt cold, and he was startled by Ayu's actions. It was at this moment that the black shadow had teleported to his side.
