Chapter 139: Death and Life (I)
The rain outside the window "snapped" on the window of the cellophane-pasted branch, and then condensed into a rain line, slid down little by little, fell to the ground, and blurred the water stains one after another. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuan sat on the embroidery pier next to Xie's bed, listened to the sound of rain outside the window, and silently looked at the girl sitting on the edge of Xie's bed.
The girl in front of her sat there so quietly, sitting for three days, no matter who came to persuade her, she was indifferent, as if she was settled, which made people feel stubborn and distressed.
When his eyes fell on Xie Shi's face as if he had fallen asleep, it was as if he would never wake up, so calm.
Yuan's heart was slightly touched, and with the oppressive atmosphere in the room, he gradually felt a little sullen and uncomfortable.
Yuan sighed in his heart, obviously there were words of relief, but when it came to his mouth, he couldn't say it anymore.
There are some things that don't fall on you, and you will never experience that pain.
Relieved, instead it became pale and ridiculous.
At this moment, all emotions are like a dense layer of twine, wrapped around her heart, unreasonable, and constantly cut.
"Ah Jiuβ"
Yuan looked at Gu Yanling's appearance, and after all, he couldn't bear it, so he opened his mouth gently.
When the words gradually disappeared in the air, the girl's butterfly-like eyelashes moved slightly, Yuan knew that Gu Yanling had listened, and his body couldn't help leaning, and his left hand naturally leaned over, covering the back of Gu Yanling's hand.
"You are the daughter of our Xie family's long house, the long house only depends on you, and now everyone else can fall, but you can't-"
Yuan finally spit out this sentence, there was no comfort, only responsibility and pressure.
Hearing this, Libi and Jiang Zhu both glanced at Yuan Shi in a daze, but when they saw Yuan Shi looking at Gu Yanling fixedly, they couldn't help but feel sad, and they also looked at their girl with expectation, motionless.
The silent girl finally moved, and then her eyes turned sideways slightly, and the movement was so light that people almost didn't notice it.
The next moment, the corners of the girl's lips rose slightly, obviously smiling, but extremely bitter.
"Fourth aunt, Ah Jiu knows. β
Yuan Shi looked at the girl who did not have the slightest look in front of her, and only felt a faint pain in her heart, she knew that the girl had given her a reassuring answer.
Everyone else said that Ah Jiu was sensible, but she would rather Sister Lan never understand the sensible thing that everything fell on her shoulders like this.
Yuan gently patted the girl's hand, and all the words finally turned into a faint sigh on his lips.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps gradually sounded outside, gently stepping on the stagnant water in front of the court.
The moment the soft curtain opened, Yuan Shi looked over, and when he touched the brocade duck that entered the door, he stretched out his hand back.
"Fourth wife, big girl. β
Jin Yuan bowed respectfully, then raised his chin slightly, his eyes were slightly on one side, he glanced at Gu Yanling, then lowered his eyes, and said very gently: "A Taoist master has been invited outside, and he is in Jide Hall at the moment, setting up an altar to pray for blessings, and the old lady asked the slave maid to invite you to go over." β
The Yuan family actually didn't believe in the ghosts and gods, but since it was the old lady who spoke, it was naturally not easy not to go, so he nodded his jaw and said softly: "Got it." β
Jin Yuan bowed his head solemnly, and Yuan Shi had already looked sideways at Gu Yanling who was approaching: "Ah Jiu, let's go." β
Gu Yanling bowed slightly, then got up, supported Yuan, and walked out of each other's faces.
The moment she lifted the soft curtain, she turned her head slightly, quietly glanced at Xie Shi who was lying there, and finally covered her eyes and walked out.
The girl's back looked bleak and lonely, but no one saw the glint in her beautiful eyes.
When I came to the porch of Jide Hall with an umbrella, the slanting rain outside was slightly floating on the dress, which made people feel a little cold immersed in the body.
He Ling next to Yuan and Yu Bi next to Gu Yanling carefully put away their umbrellas, stood behind them, and walked in with Yuan and Gu Yanling.
Straight through the two doors, Gu Yanling and his entourage arrived at the main hall, the corridor outside the hall was full of servants, and when they walked over step by step, they found that the altar had been set up in the hall, and a person wearing a blue background and gray robe was standing solemnly behind the altar, and turned his head without the arrival of Gu Yanling and his party.
Gu Yanling looked at the man quietly, his eyes were silently deepened for a few moments, and then he moved away indifferently, and stepped forward with the Yuan family to salute Gu Zhengde and Old Lady Fu who were sitting in the upper seat in a dignified manner, and then stood in his place.
Old Lady Fu glanced at Yuan and Gu Yanling, and then moved to that person expectantly, although she tried her best to restrain herself, she could not hide the anxiety and caution in her words.
"Dao Chief, please start. β
Gu Yanling only saw the appearance of the person clearly at this moment, only to see that his hair was tied up and he was only holding a peach hairpin, I don't know if it was because of thinness or something, his cheekbones were slightly raised, his beard moved slightly when he heard the sound, and his solemn face gradually moved.
Immediately, he held a whisk in his hand, and only nodded his jaw quite recklessly, then stepped forward, picked up the peachwood sword in front of him, and gently flicked the sword body with two fingers of his left hand.
With the passage of time, just when everyone's eyes were focused on that person, an indifferent but inconspicuous gaze made Gu Yanling glance over. But it was just facing Gu Yanjin's seemingly plain eyes, but in fact, it was difficult to hide the deep meaning.
The corners of the girl's lips pursed slightly, and the soft smile seemed to be soothing, but only Gu Yanling knew that it was full of ridicule and pleasure.
Almost at the same time, the man's eyes suddenly tightened, and then the hand holding the peachwood sword shook slightly, and immediately raised his head nervously, and looked at Gu Zhengde and Old Lady Fu on the seat fixedly.
This sudden move made the old lady Fu on the seat also stand up nervously, Gu Zhengde only stared slightly in his eyes, and then said calmly: "Dao Chief, what's wrong." β
Everyone turned to look at the man with some worry at the moment, only to see that the man's eyebrows were frowning deeper and deeper, and his expression became darker and darker. Immediately, his eyes looked around, and then he turned to a little embarrassed and said: "Don't hide it from you, when the poor road was doing it, he faintly felt that there was something strange about the southeast here, and the poor road traced the source, the more this feeling became, until just now, the poor road found outββ"
At this point, everyone couldn't help but get nervous, the old lady almost tightly clutched her skirt, looking at the Taoist in a daze, just when everyone couldn't hold back, the Taoist was a little trembling in his words.
"In the southeast pole shade, there seems to be a ghost full of resentment. β
Hearing this, everyone gradually felt a chill on their backs, as if their bodies were gradually soaked in ice, and even their hair was about to stand upside down, so that they involuntarily surrounded their surroundings, as if there was some foreign object, and began to be afraid.
The man clenched the hilt of his sword, and then said in a deep and serious voice: "Poor Dao thinks that the disobedience of your mansion should come from that foreign body, and it must be dealt with immediately, otherwise the resentment will become deeper, and I am afraid that it will lead to it, and the mansion will be scatteredββ"
The man bit the last four words very hard, and the old lady Fu's body was shocked when she heard it, and some of the timid ones almost fainted.
The power behind these four words is too great.
That person's words were extremely convincing, and even the Yuan family, who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, was slightly shaken, but Gu Jingming alone was awe-inspiring in his eyes, not surprised at all, only his eyebrows were tightened, and something strange gradually appeared in his heart.
"In that case, can you please ask the Taoist to remove it for us? β
Gu Zhengde on the seat was also quite calm, and only calmly spit out his words.
The Dao man nodded slightly when he heard this, and then said, "Poor Dao, do your best." β
"Then it's a long time to get tired. β
Old Lady Fu hurriedly spoke, the man only raised his hand slightly, and then under Gu Zhengde's eyes, Fang An beside him (Note: Gu Zhengde's personal old servant, the chief steward. He immediately led the man outward.
What was left behind was endless silence, after all, Gu Zhengde broke the calm, and only calmly asked Gu Yanling about the situation, when he saw the unconcealable care in his grandfather's eyes in front of him, Gu Yanling's heart was touched, and he couldn't help lowering his eyes and being obedient one by one.
At this moment, the sound of hurried and panicked footsteps gradually sounded outside the hall, and the person and Fang An immediately walked in, and then people found that the faces of the two people who came in were a little strange, especially Fang An, who was used to seeing the scene, and it was difficult to hide the panic in his eyes at this moment.
Gu Zhengde, who was originally talking to Gu Yanling, immediately kept silent, turned to look over, and everyone's eyes gradually fell on a tray that Fang An's hands were nervously holding, only to see that it was covered with silk cloth and couldn't see clearly, but it turned people's curiosity up, and careful people could find that Fang An's hand had been trembling slightly, much more out of shape than usual.
After the man stood still, there was some regret in his expression, and his eyes were a little difficult to hide.
"The poor road has found the ghost. β
After speaking, he tilted his head slightly, Fang An's body was shocked, and then he looked at Gu Zhengde in the upper seat with some hesitation, and finally faced everyone's gaze, and his right hand trembled to uncover the silk cloth on the tray.
"Ahh
In the sound of everyone's inhalation, Gu Zhengde's pupils shrank, and Mrs. Fu was almost not frightened, and some of the timid ones even took a few steps back in shock, not daring to come forward.
It turned out that there were two silk dolls, one large and one small, on the tray, and at a glance, they knew that it was a woman and a child, and I saw that the chests of the two silk dolls were sharply inserted with a silver needle with blood stains, and the whole body was soaked with blood, and the soil had turned into dark red stains, in the hall under the rain, it looked strange and mad.
Faintly, people seemed to be able to see a little weirdness in the doll's smile, and even, they could hear the terrible laughter echoing in the hall.
Everyone's scalps were a little numb, and they only felt that the coolness on their backs was getting heavier and heavier, and at this moment, the man finally opened his mouth, his body was erect, and his eyes did not squint.
"This is a witchcraft that has long been banned in Miao Jiang, and it is all practiced against the most heinous people, and those who fall for it will not be at peace even after death. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and they felt that the means were too vicious.
In everyone's life, the final goal is to settle in the ground, but this kind of witchcraft makes people not even die peacefully, how vicious.
"Where did this come from?"
Mrs. Fu couldn't hold it anymore, and immediately stood up tremblingly, pointing at the doll on the tray with anger and fear, her voice almost distorted because it was too sharp.
Gu Zhengde frowned slightly, his expression was a little uncertain, but after looking at the weird doll, he only glanced sideways at Mrs. Fu and didn't say anything.
The man didn't speak, only looked sideways at Fang An, Fang An trembled slightly, and finally spit out a sentence intermittently under the fierce gaze of Old Lady Fu.
"In ...... In Ruri-in. β
