I haven't mastered the secret technique yet, so I can't activate the runes on the life-killing sign like Ye Sanqi and kill two ghosts on the spot. However, it's not like I don't have other means to deal with the old couple of the Mu family.
I raised my hand and fired two sleeve arrows, nailing Master Mu's wrist.
Old Mrs. Mu rolled around and shouted: "Quickly, kill that bitch quickly. Otherwise, Tian'er will be in danger. Kill that bitch!"
Master Mu pulled his hand back like crazy, but was pinned to the ground by the two sleeve arrows that were no longer than chopsticks. However, Master Mu roared repeatedly and pulled his wrist open.
If this continues, it won't be long before he can pull his hand off, leaving his two bare arms free, and come back to fight with me.
At that moment, I did feel a little unbearable in my heart.
I can't comment on whether Old Man Mu is good or bad. However, his desire to protect his son was genuine. Even though he knew that the enemy he faced could wipe him out at any time, he still had to gamble on the almost non-existent glimmer of hope.
However, that trace of intolerance was quickly forgotten by me.
The world is not a place where you are allowed to be soft-hearted, and no one will put down the butcher's knife just because of your cry. If I can't break through this Luoye Village, I will die just like Ye Sanqi.
I can't take the lives of our master and apprentice to show mercy.
Just when Master Mu was about to break free from his sleeve arrows, the life-killing sign finally exploded with its due power. The fire on the sign soared to the sky in a moment, covering the two mummies, and the people were incinerated to ashes by the fire. My skin could no longer hold up the corpse that was ignited several feet in flames. The flaming corpse fell to the ground piece by piece, and two ghosts burst into flames right in front of my eyes.
Mrs. Mu struggled desperately and shouted: "Let Tian'er go... let Tian'er go! He is a good child..."
Old Mrs. Mu wanted to beg for a way out for Young Master Mu, but it was too late. She turned into ashes before I could speak.
I walked towards the maid Cui'er who was trembling with fear: "Tell me, what is going on in this courtyard?"
Cui'er said with a trembling voice: "Young Master...Young Master knows magic... He designed this courtyard."
"Master Mu knows magic!" I said in shock: "Who taught him magic? What did he want to do with this courtyard?"
"I don't know!" Cui'er said, "Master, madam, in order to prevent the young master from meeting Shiqing, Zhuangzi has been keeping him outside so that he can study in peace. However, the young master comes back almost every night and hides quietly in the yard. Arrange things in there.”
"Only the housekeeper knows about this."
"Young master, I don't know what method he used to convince the housekeeper to help him get some things back. The housekeeper always followed his instructions and bought the things and put them in the yard. In the evening, the young master came back to decorate the house. "
"I also found out the secret when I accidentally caught the housekeeper hiding something in the yard. The housekeeper repeatedly warned me not to tell the story. If I messed up the young master's affairs, he would kill someone."
"I can feel that the housekeeper is very afraid of the young master. I didn't dare to ask more about the rest."
I never thought that the young master of the Mu family would be an extremely skilled warlock.
The Ninth Prince told me that it is difficult for a person who has not practiced since childhood to become a master in the art. Could it be that this Young Master Mu has been studying under his master for a long time?
Don’t the old couple of the Mu family know that Young Master Mu has learned secret techniques?
I asked further: "Does Mr. Mu's parents know that he knows magic?"
"I don't know!" Cui'er said: "The old man wants the Mu family to study and inherit the family. I have always wanted the young master to become an official and bring glory to the family. They will not allow the young master to learn magic."
"Master and Madam, they have always disagreed with the young master marrying Shi Qing. In addition to the strange origin of Shi Qing, it is also because they do not want the young master to have a relationship with the warlock and affect his future."
I couldn't help but nodded when I heard this: From Master Mu's perspective, his concerns are reasonable.
Since ancient times, there has been a subtle relationship between the court and the sorcerers. From the perspective of Confucianism, sorcerers are people who pretend to be gods and confuse people with their evil words. Once they become big, they will inevitably cause chaos. Therefore, if a sorcerer is born in any family, even if it is just an ordinary fortune teller, no one in this family is allowed to obtain fame for at least three generations. This is tantamount to cutting off the warlock's path to becoming an official.
Even if the court needs to solve some problems, the first choice is monks and Taoist priests, and it will not contact the magicians unless it is absolutely necessary.
However, the sorcerers rejected by the imperial court did not include the descendants of Qimen. As for the reason, neither Ye Sanqi nor Ninth Prince told me.
From this point of view, whether considering Young Master Mu himself or the future generations of the Mu family, Master Mu will not allow her to marry Shiqing.
I asked: "Mr. Mu didn't dare to provoke the people behind the incident, so he came up with a way to secretly get rid of Shiqing? Where is that Yanghuagou place?"
Cui'er said: "I don't know what the master thinks. He won't tell our servants these things."
"Yanghuagou is a famous evil place nearby. I heard that Yanghuagou is haunted. Anyone who walks nearby can encounter ghosts hitting the wall. It would be better if the ghosts come out of Yanghuagou. , if you go inside, you will be thrown out by the ghost, you will get seriously ill when you go home, and you will lose half your life if you don't die."
I understand that Yanghuagou should be the gate of a certain martial art sect. They didn't want to be disturbed, so they came up with a formation similar to "ghost hitting the wall".
When Shiqing came to the Mu family, it can be explained why it was a matter of a dead person sending a bride to a living person.
I asked again: "Where is the young master of the Mu family? Where is he?"
"I don't know!" Shiqing shook her head and said: "Since the Mu family announced the marriage, the master and the wife have said that the young master is back, but no one in the Mu family has seen the young master. We all thought that it was the master and the wife who wanted to deceive Shi. Qing, deliberately lying. No one took it seriously."
"I also think that the eldest young master is not in the Mu family. Otherwise, there was such a big incident in the Mu family that day, and the young master never showed up."
What the maid Cui'er said is somewhat credible. It stands to reason that the young master of the family is also the one who can take charge of the affairs in the family. When major events happen in the family, the master and the young master have to discuss it. The Mu family has already reached the point of disaster, but the young master of the Mu family can still be in charge. Are you sitting?
I quickly asked: "Let me ask you, who hid your bodies in Master Mu's courtyard?"
"It's Mr. Yin-Yang!" Cui'er replied: "What was he talking about after he dragged our bodies in? The young master of the Mu family is really good at tricking all of us... You won't let me live , I won’t make it easy for you either… I should leave your parents behind and let the people in Yangshugou kill them. That is your retribution.”
