Chapter 38: The Child
Today is April, and early summer is approaching.
The tanuki couldn't help but think in his heart, from today on, he could relax for a while.
After all, this has been the norm for many years.
The tanuki's eyebrows curled even more, and a pleasant light flashed in his eyes.
In the afternoon, the faint light of the road in the shade gap is projected on a white deer paper notice on the bluestone city wall, and in the middle of the paper, the three big characters of "Ghost Recruitment Order" are revealed in the clear rhyme and elegance, which are particularly eye-catching between a bright or dark light and shadow.
The people of Yin'an gathered in front of the notice, pointing at the content of the notice, although they were all accustomed to it, but the enthusiasm for talking about it did not diminish at all.
"Yu Gongzi really released the notice again this year, and he is really happy about it. ”
"I don't know which goblins are going to be unlucky this year. ”
"The way the nobles in Yin'an City have fun is really cruel, and even the jade prince is inevitably vulgar. ”
"What's cruel, those ghosts, born lowly things, can be fortunate enough to be used by Yu Gongzi for recreation, that is, there is green smoke on their ghost seedling field stalks!"
"I've heard that it is said that once those ghosts enter the Jade Disturbance Courtyard of the Jade Prince, they will have to go through seventy-seven and forty-nine tortures, and in the end, only one will survive to the end. ”
"Aren't the other ghosts who didn't survive all dead?"
"Maybe, who knows......"
After all, we have not had the opportunity to see it with our own eyes, and what we hear is false, and what we hear may be nothing more than a rumor. ”
"That is, if it is really as you say, why is it that on this day every year, there are still a group of ghosts who sharpen their heads and want to enter the Jade Disturbance Courtyard?"
"That's not because Yu Gongzi ......... him" The person who spoke suddenly paused, deliberately lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "Have you not forgotten that it is rumored that Yu Gongzi is the only human being in this world who can control ghosts with his bare hands without borrowing any external forces such as ghost deterrence spells and ghost service contracts, and only by virtue of his own luxury, even today's saints can't compare!"
Another voice also chimed in: "I have also heard about Yu Gongzi controlling ghosts with his bare hands, but I don't know whether it is true or not, after all, neither we civilians nor those nobles have really seen Yu Gongzi control ghosts with bare hands. ”
"Yu Gongzi has lived for more than 600 years, but for so many years, it has not been rumored that he has ever controlled ghosts with his bare hands, and this statement is probably not true. ”
......
Just when everyone was talking endlessly about the various gossip secrets about him caused by the "ghost recruitment order" issued by Xiangyu, the ghosts and ghosts in their mouths who were doomed to a miserable end as soon as they entered the Jade Disturbance Courtyard were now flocking to the gate of Xiangfu, competing for the few places to enter the Jade Disturbance Courtyard.
And Ah Tao and Yin Heng, who went out to Dali Temple, had just arrived at Dali Temple at this time, but the two were stopped by the guards in front of the gate.
The guards at the door informed the two that Lord Luan was on his way to the Ghost Courtyard at this time, Yin Heng and Ah Tao discussed it and decided to go to the Ghost Courtyard to meet Lord Luan.
When they arrived at the Ghost Courtyard, they heard from the little guy in the Ghost Courtyard that Lord Luan was really in the Ghost Courtyard, Yin Heng explained his intention, and after the little guy went to report it, he took the two of them to the Ghost Courtyard Library where Lord Luan was.
The three of them walked briskly on the winding corridor in the ghost courtyard, and at the corner of the corner, three teenagers suddenly rushed out in front of them, and they happened to collide with Yin Heng who was walking in the front, although Yin Heng reacted quickly, but still could not completely dodge, and the opponent's head hit the hilt of the ebony sword that Yin Heng subconsciously raised.
With a scream of pain, the other party opened his mouth and scolded: "Which one doesn't have long eyes, don't die!"
Ah Tao looked at each other, the three teenagers were dressed in ancient fragrant satin, tied with gold crowns, and hung several sachets, jade pendants and other things around their waists.
The other party is also looking at Ah Tao and Yin Heng.
Especially the noble son who was hit in a jujube red brocade robe, staring at Yin Heng with angry eyes.
"Who should I be so reckless and blind, it turns out to be the famous second son of Yin. He looked sarcastic, spoke disdainfully, and deliberately bit the words "famous".
Seeing this, the little guy in the ghost courtyard who led Yin Heng and Ah Tao hurriedly stepped forward to play a round: "The corridor is narrow, please watch the road carefully, nobles." ”
The noble son in the jujube red brocade robe glared at the little guy with cold eyes, and said sharply: "Despicable slave, did you ask you? Get out!"
The little guy trembled in fright, and immediately retreated to the side.
The noble son in the jujube red brocade robe looked at Yin Heng again, and said in a strange manner: "Second son Yin, should you apologize to this son?"
Yin Heng smiled faintly indifferently, he stepped forward, saluted, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, I'm reckless, and please don't blame the three sons." ”
Seeing this, the three nobles were stunned at first, and then they all burst into laughter.
Another noble son said: "The second son of Yin really knows the current affairs, and he is worthy of being the light of your childish clan, first climbed from the position of the concubine to the position of the concubine, and then climbed to the top of the figure such as the jade prince, this eye strength is really difficult for ordinary people, can bend and stretch, and is really a villain!"
Another noble son said: "I think your childish clan is just a small clan, just relying on your son as a concubine, you can occupy a place among the major clans, amazing!"
The three continued to laugh maniacally.
These people are saying too much!
Ah Dao's face was angry.
With her previous character, no matter who he is or who he is, I am afraid that she has already taken action to directly refute the words of these three people, but she can't now, because she is already a sacrifice, and she has the signboard of Childe on her body, and she can't cause trouble and shame Childe at will.
Yin Heng looked at Ah Dao, who was trying his best to endure with his fists clenched beside him, a trace of warmth slipped on his face, he gently pulled Ah Dao's sleeve, and his eyes motioned for her to leave, and the two were just about to make a detour, but they were stopped by the noble son in the red brocade robe.
Yin Heng's figure froze, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the ebony scabbard in his hand rang out.
The three nobles looked at the ebony sword and were stunned for a moment, and then jumped away a few steps with some nervousness.
A look of annoyance appeared on the face of the jujube red brocade robe, and he said loudly and provocatively: "Yin Heng, I advise you not to be too rampant, don't think that you can do anything with your broken sword! Even if you are like Qiu Gongzi, what if you have cultivated to the hermit level, with your background in this small clan, you are still a concubine, and if you break through the sky, you are only worthy of being a watchdog by the side of Yu Gongzi!"
After hearing this, Ah Tao looked at Yin Heng in surprise.
She doesn't know much about the human race, but she is very sensitive to spell-related matters.
The ghost told her that in today's world, there are very few cultivators of the highest level of "hermits" in the ghost deterrence, no more than two in total, and one of them is Qiu Gongzi in the mouth of the noble son, the supreme ruler of the Ghost Deterrent Courtyard, and Qiu Lingshuang, the adopted son of Qiu Manqian, the patriarch of the Qiu clan.
It's just that I didn't expect that this other person was the purple-shirted young man in front of him who had always been low-key.
No wonder except for Yin Heng, she had never seen other ghost deterrent masters wear purple, it turned out that no one could wear it.
No wonder Yin Heng was able to drive Yin'an's first ghost to see the falcon and become its master, so it was.
It's hidden!
But if you think about it carefully, what kind of person is Childe, and there is no need to make a fuss with such a master by his side.
It's just that those people humiliate Yin Heng like this, don't they just don't take Gongzi in their eyes?
She can't control Yin Heng's private affairs, but she is in charge of matters related to her son!
Ah Tao immediately crossed his hands on his hips, put on a posture of fighting, and was about to go back, but heard a crisp and pleasant female voice coming from behind him.
"Who is carrying my eldest brother's signboard here to make nonsense and oppress people indiscriminately?"
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see an ordinary-looking round-faced girl wearing an apricot yellow shirt, a double bun on her head, and stepping on small broken steps.
