Ah Tao pondered and asked, "But the second son of Yin and the dean of the Ghost Academy, Qiu Gongzi, are not from a poor family, why is this?"

Speaking of Qiu Lingshuang, Qin Shuang's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a strong sense of worship in his eyes: "Qiu Gongzi is because he has a very high talent for deterring ghosts since he was a child, and the patriarch of Qiu is open-minded, and he is spoiled by him, so he is authorized to practice ghost deterrence. ”

"And the second son of Yin ......" Qin Shuang hesitated a little, but under the signal of Ah Dao's eager expectation, he still continued, "Although the second son of Yin is a concubine, his biological mother is actually not Mrs. Min, the wife of the patriarch of the Yin clan, but a concubine of the patriarch of the Yin clan. ”

This concubine left the house after giving birth to the second son of Yin, and it happened that Mrs. Min had no children under her knees, so she raised the second son of Yin, who had lost his mother since birth, under his own name, and gave him the identity of a son-in-law. ”

The powerful family has always valued the purity of the bloodline, and although Yin Heng has become the first choice of the righteous successor of the Yin patriarch because of his status as a son-in-law, he is still a concubine in terms of blood.

The descendants of the clans in the book of the hundred clans have become ghost masters, and if the family power behind them is not huge, it will easily become a joke in the elite circle.

There was no gossip about Qiu Lingshuang becoming a ghost deterrent, also because the Qiu clan had a deep foundation and huge power.

Yin Heng's bloodline is still in the same vein, and he has become a ghost deterrent, and naturally no one inside and outside the Yin clan will have any objections.

Ah Tao and Yin Heng were in the ghost courtyard before, and when they were troubled by several nobles from the side branch of the Sheng clan, Ah Tao could guess a little bit of Yin Heng's origin from their words, which was roughly consistent with what Qin Shuang said today.

Ah Tao said with interest: "Young Master Qiu and Second Prince Yin have both cultivated the Demon Deterrent Technique, I wonder if the two of them fight, who will be better?"

Qin Shuang thought for a while: "Although the two of them have never competed, they may ...... Qiu Gongzi is even better. ”

"Why?"

Qin Shuang couldn't wait to say eagerly: "Young Master Qiu has the title of 'Yin'an's strongest ghost deterrent master'. ”

A look of honor.

Ah Tao couldn't help laughing and said, "You admire Qiu Gongzi very much?"

Qin Shuang, who has the title of "Yin'an's weakest ghost deterrent master", admires Qiu Lingshuang, "Yin'an's most powerful ghost deterrent master", which makes perfect sense.

Qin Shuang unconsciously showed a shy expression again, and nodded a little embarrassedly.

Ah Tao couldn't help but deliberately ridiculed: "Since the two of them are full of ghost deterrence techniques, their cultivation should be equal, Qiu Gongzi can get the name of the strongest ghost deterrent master, maybe it has something to do with his background, you admire Qiu Gongzi even more, could it be because Qiu Gongzi's status in the clan is more prominent?"

Qin Shuang hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, how can I be such a snob." Qiu Gongzi and Yin Gongzi were not arrogant or impatient, and devoted themselves to practicing the art of deterring ghosts, and finally attained success, both of them are the objects of admiration of our ghost deterrent masters. ”

"It's just that although they are quite good at cultivating ghost deterrence, Qiu Gongzi is mainly attacking, while Yin Gongzi is mainly defending. ”

Speaking of this, his voice was lowered, and he said with some melancholy: "I'm afraid of ghosts...... Naturally, he is more eager to be like Qiu Gongzi. ”

Ah Tao nodded clearly, I see.

Qin Shuang suddenly remembered something: "However, if you see Qiu Gongzi, it's best to stay away." ”

Ah Tao was puzzled: "Why?"

Qin Shuang wanted to speak and stopped: "Qiu Gongzi has a nickname called 'Ghost Sees Hatred', he is naturally particularly hateful to ghosts, so he ......"

Ah Tao blinked a pair of fawn eyes still staring at him.

Qin Shuang pursed her lips and had to say more thoroughly: "You are carrying the blood of the ancestors, more than six hundred years ago, the Powerful Ghost Moon Fence went crazy and devoured countless clan children, and Qiu Gongzi knew about it. ”

"So, it's likely that he used me as a moon fence and slaughtered me directly and split it in half?"

Qin Shuang looked at Ah Dao, and Ah Dao actually caught a trace of worry and sympathy in his eyes.

Ah Tao pointed at Qin Shuang and exclaimed, "I'm a ghost, you actually sympathize with and worry about me?!"

Qin Shuang's face was stunned.

Yes, since when did he actually walk alone with two ghosts, and at this moment, he was still talking to a ghost unsuspectingly, here in a heart-to-heart conversation.

In the past, this would have been impossible.

"I ...... I don't seem to be afraid of ghosts anymore. Qin Shuang was unsure.

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly flashed and rushed towards him, Qin Shuang was so frightened that he staggered, his whole body fell backwards, and he fell to the ground.

"Haha~" Ah Dao stood in front of Qin Shuang with his waist crossed, smiling so happily.

The black shadow just now was made of her.

"It seems that you are not afraid of ghosts, but you are just not afraid of me. ”

Qin Shuang sat on the ground, her face was defeated, she looked at Ah Dao who was smiling happily, and let out a long breath with palpitations, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but have a hint of a smile.

Ah Tao patted Qin Shuang's shoulder, with a gloating smile on his face, but it was an encouraging tone: "You better completely get rid of your fear of ghosts first, and then complete your goal of becoming a powerful ghost deterrent." ”

Qin Shuang's face flushed, and he nodded, with a touch of firmness in his clean eyes.

When it was already in the middle of the day, the night sea and the starry river, there was silence all around.

Under the dark sky, the occasional ethereal call from birds and finches in the woods echoed throughout, and then fell silent again after a moment.

In the thatched hut deep in the woods, loud snoring could be heard.

Suddenly, there was the sound of crutches clapping nearby.

"Wow!Wow!!", again and again, gradually becoming clearer and clearer.

The snoring in the thatched hut suddenly stopped, and after a slight squeezing sound, a small imperceptible crack opened in the door, and a pair of cloudy ghost eyes were peering out through the gap.

"Who is it?" asked in the house, Ah Tao followed closely behind the old ghost, standing by the door, and asked with a wary expression.

"It's Mr. Shu, he's been wandering around this area lately, don't worry, he's not a ghost. ”

He ...... What is he going to do?" Qin Shuang's nervous voice came.

The old ghost was just about to answer, when a low inquiry suddenly sounded outside the door: "Excuse me, which of you can give me a memory?"

Tao and the old ghost exchanged glances, and Tao nodded at him, and the old ghost opened the door.

In the moonlight, a slightly thin face, looking like an ordinary human, a male ghost of moderate height, dressed as a scholar dressed in cloth, was standing at the door with a green wood cane.

His shadow was stretched out of the ground and stretched into the grass beside him, and there was a bit of loneliness and scribbling around him.

The old ghost explained to Ah Tao and Qin Shuang: "He is like this every day, and he asks this question when he is looking for someone. ”

"Why is he like this?" asked Adao.

Old ghost: "Every day, when he enters, his memory of the day is automatically gone, and he will always remember only what happened that day." ”

It turned out to be a ghost who only had a one-day memory, and was obsessed with memories.

Ah Tao and Qin Shuang had heard of such a strange thing for the first time, and they were both a little interested.

Ah Tao stepped forward, clasped his hands in front of him, and asked Mr. Shu: "You ask me to remember, I can't give it to you for nothing, what do you exchange for?"

Mr. Shu touched his whole body, but there was nothing except the Aoki cane in his hand.

He looked at Ah Tao and was about to hand the crutch to Ah Dao, but Ah Tao refused, "I don't need your crutch." ”

Mr. Shu was a little embarrassed, so he had to spread his hands.

Ah Dao said again: "I may be able to give you what you want, but you can't give me what I want, it seems that this deal can't be done." ”

There was a hint of emotion on Mr. Shu's face: "What do you want?"

Ah Tao thought for a moment: "I want to know the whereabouts of the ghost of Ji Li. ”

"Who is the Ghost of the Rites?"

"Disembodied, good at the art of doppelganger, is a ghost transformed by the ritual itself. The old ghost on the side replied helpfully.

Mr. Shu frowned slightly, sat on the spot very seriously, and thought for a while.

The three of them were also extremely patient, standing by the door and waiting for him for a while.

There was silence again, except for the occasional short insect chirp, and only the faint sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Suddenly, Mr. Shu spoke: "Red makeup ......"

"Snake ......"

"And deer carcasses. ”
