Chapter 262: The Strange Courtyard
The whole courtyard is heavy ancient blue, the courtyard wall is very high, the brick wall has been peeled by time and uneven, and the wall is full of miserable weeds, which looks decadent and cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The entire courtyard was closed by a broken lock covered in patina, and it was clear that the owner was not at home, which was also a good time to sneak into the courtyard.
Of course, you can't break the lock and enter, that will cause unnecessary trouble, Xuanyuan Mingyue decided to enter over the wall.
For Xuanyuan Mingyue, who is an immortal cultivator, climbing over the wall or something is a trivial matter, I saw her tiptoe to the ground, jumped easily, and jumped into this small courtyard, but the scene in the eyes was indescribably weird.
There are five tombs neatly arranged in the courtyard, the earthy yellow grave is high, and there are some golden paper ingots and paper money scattered on it, the breeze is swaying, the paper money floats up leisurely, rolls in the air, and falls on the grave.
Xuanyuan Mingyue only glanced at it, and her brows furrowed.
There is a tiled house in the courtyard, the door of the tiled house is sandwiched between the two tombs, there is no gap in the middle, Xuanyuan Mingyue has no other way but to step on the tomb and enter the house, the atmosphere is quite weird.
The room was pitch black, and there wasn't even a single window, Xuanyuan Mingyue felt that it was unspeakably weird here, but she didn't flinch or be timid. She cautiously took out a fluorescent spirit stone from the blue sea and green clouds, and the room instantly brightened.
The whole room was filled with wisps of black mist, the source of which was the boiling black cauldron in the room, which was half a man tall and covered with yellow charms, and the cauldron was propped up in the room with an iron frame, but it was not a fire burning under the pot, and there was surprisingly nothing under the pot.
Xuanyuan Mingyue glanced curiously into the pot and found that there was black water boiling inside, and there was a golden oil spot in the center of the black water, but Xuanyuan Mingyue didn't know what the oil spot was.
Her gaze shifted from the cauldron to the table next to the pot, where she noticed that it was littered with uncarved puppets.
These puppets are very meticulously carved by Su Xin, with bodies and facial features, but they have the same appearance and the same expression.
Xuanyuan Mingyue frowned, and picked up the puppet that was about to be completed at the corner of the table, the puppet's belly was cut, and there was an empty glass bottle inside, the puppet's dissected belly seemed to be able to be covered, and Su Xin installed a small door on the puppet's belly.
Xuanyuan Mingyue couldn't guess what these things were for, and she was about to look for other clues, but she heard a "creak", and the door of the small courtyard was opened.
Maybe you can secretly observe Su Xin and find some clues from him.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Mingyue decisively put away the fluorescent spirit stone and lowered her breath, hiding it in the dark of the room.
Su Xin walked in from outside the door in a strong suit and walked in calmly, but he didn't notice Xuanyuan Mingyue.
Entering the room, Su Xin skillfully lit the candlestick on the table, and the whole room became dim and blurry.
I saw Su Xin cautiously came to the table, and leisurely picked up a humanoid puppet, which was the puppet that Xuanyuan Mingyue had just taken. The action was very casual, and Su Xin slapped the puppet's stomach on the palm of his hand with a "click", and the small glass bottle fell into Su Xin's hand in response.
Pinching the glass vial, Su Xin smiled with satisfaction, then scooped up the oil spots in the black pot and put the oil droplets into the glass bottle. After doing this, Su Xin once again closed the glass bottle into the puppet's belly and smiled comfortably.
"Let you do evil!" Su Xin's eyes swept over the puppet with resentment and tapped its head with her fingertips, and said coldly: "Just wait for the ashes to disappear!" ”
Could it be? Xuanyuan Mingyue's heart lit up, and she thought of the key. The black cauldron in the room should be Su Xin's tool for refining ghost things, and the yellow oil spots should be closely related to the things it refines, but Xuanyuan Mingyue couldn't guess where Qingzi was from these inferences alone, and she planned to continue to look for clues from Su Xin's every move.
After playing with the humanoid puppet in his hand for a while, Su Xin seemed to suddenly think of something, and he hurriedly took out a palm-sized black cloth bag from his cuff, opened the black slipknot tied on it, and opened the bag.
"Su Xin, my sister has no grievances with you, and you want her to be wiped out!" The black mist that slowly overflowed from the bag fell to the ground and turned into a vague image of a man, his tone was full of anger, and his face was extremely pale.
"People have their way, ghosts have their way, and the two worlds are different from each other. Since your sister has broken the rules and appeared in the human world, she should be punished. Su Xin said casually, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with her.
"We can go back, we can go back to the ghost world, and never step into the human world again!" The man's eyes burned and pleaded with Su Xin, and his expression was so eager that he almost shed tears.
Su Xin didn't look at the man, but took out a carving knife to gouge open the stomach of another humanoid puppet, and said coldly: "There is no regret medicine in the world, your sister has been refined into oil by me." Su Xin's tone was very casual, completely ignoring the man's already pale face, and still said: "When she is hung by me on the ancient acacia outside the door, after seven days and forty-nine days of air drying, she will really be wiped out." ”
"Why!" The man shouted, already clasped his hands into a fist, and roared angrily: "My sister has never done anything bad, why did you do this!" ”
"Huh!" Su Xin saw that the man was emotional, stopped what he was doing, glanced at the man obliquely, and said, "How do you know that she hasn't done anything bad?" As far as I know, she has killed two innocent lives. ”
"This ......" The man's tone, which was originally emotional, suddenly softened, and said, "I don't know, I don't know......"
In a few simple strokes, Su Xin broke open the puppet's belly and installed a small door on it, and glanced at the man again, Su Xin smiled coldly and said, "It's your turn." ”
"I haven't done ......"
Before the man's words fell, Su Xin was thrown into the cauldron, all this happened too fast, Xuanyuan Mingyue didn't react at all, she hid in the dark and looked at Su Xin, feeling that this man was too ruthless.
"What if you haven't done anything bad," Su Xin looked at the boiling iron pot, smiled calmly, and said, "I hate you." ”
The black water in the pot was churning, Su Xin waited for half an hour, and finally a golden oil spot condensed on the water surface, he was satisfied with the oil spot into the small bottle in the puppet's stomach, and then picked up the two bottles and walked outside, saying as he walked: "Go and wait on the ancient acacia, I don't want you to live longer for a moment." ”
Xuanyuan Mingyue listened quietly, and had the answer in her heart, Qingzi must also be on the ancient acacia outside the door, and she must be there.
