It's the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, more like lightning and thunder. When the four eyes met, Xia Xue'er only felt that her whole person was out of her body, with an empty skin that was not at the mercy, and her footsteps involuntarily moved towards that gaze, but her soul was terrified.

"Don't come unharmed?"

Before she knew it, she had come closer, and the gray-robed Taoist priest saluted Xia Xue'er with his hands folded, although he asked such a sentence expressionlessly, but his eyes were still staring at her eyes and refused to leave. Xia Xue'er always feels that the other party's eyes can see through people's ** and hit the deepest part of the soul, but they are deeply attracted to you, so that you can't take your eyes off you, so you can only let him look at it.

Wait a minute! This feeling is so familiar, where does it seem to be? It seems to be very similar to the feeling of surveillance felt yesterday by the deep pool in the forest! But he ......

Yesterday she had clearly searched carefully, and found no sign of movement around, besides, it was impossible for such a conspicuous person to hide in the woods, she would not know!

Xia Xue'er opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but she didn't say anything, and finally just stretched out her hand, and spread out her palm, among which lay the jade carving the size of a little finger, crystal clear.

"The donor wants to ask Poor Dao how to know the secret of the ghost in your heart?"

Xia Xue'er nodded mechanically, still unable to say a word.

"A year ago, a vision fell from the sky, the daughter of the Xia family was reborn with a soul, and strange things happened from time to time, but only when it was a ghostly ghost, he wanted to do things and get rid of it, but he didn't know that the new soul was difficult to drive into the body, the old soul was resentful and difficult to disperse, and the successive rituals could only be a defeat in the end, the old soul lost the ability to reincarnate, and could only wander in the dirtiest corners of the world, the new soul was injured at the root, the body was weak and the enemy was haunted by nightmares, and the spirit was increasingly weakened."

The gray-robed Taoist priest's eyes flashed when he said this, and he seemed to be very excited. He will never forget the moment when the brilliant meteor pierced the sky and fell, standing on the top of the mountain, how much he hit the deer, and he waited for most of his life to finally see it with his own eyes!

This year, he hid in the market from south to north, always paying attention to Xia Xue'er's movements, witnessing her madness and calm, and also seeing the anger and revenge of the old soul. Seeing that the yin qi is getting heavier, if she can't survive the tribulation of the Midyear Festival, she can only be a wisp of wandering spirit, and there will be one less wizard in this world.

The turmoil after a few years, only she can calm down!

The gray-robed old man sighed, and then said: "Zhongyuan Festival is your calamity. The unjustly killed person is full of anger, and the longer the soul is gone, the heavier the resentment becomes. On July 15, the door of the ghost was opened, which was the time when the yin qi in the world was the heaviest, and it was also the time when her resentment was the deepest and her strength was the strongest. And she, as another soul from another dimension, has only been able to control this ** so freely after only one year, it can be said that she has been well integrated, but she is not invulnerable.

It wasn't until he waved the dust whisk in his hand that Xia Xue'er felt that she was back in the shell, and then she had a down-to-earth feeling. For a moment, her feet were a little weak, and she was about to fall to the ground, but a mysterious force dragged her to barely stand up.

After a long time, he fixed his soul, saluted the old man with his hands together, and said, "But ask the elder for some advice." ”

After staying in the valley for another day, Xia Xue'er left for home, and at this time, it was less than a day before the old lady held a feast.

After changing into regular clothes, I first went to the old lady's livable pavilion to ask for peace. When she left the mansion before, in addition to Mrs. Xia knowing the truth, she told the old lady that she was not happy and wanted to go to the manor to live quietly for a while, feel the fraternity of nature, nourish the essence of heaven and earth, and cultivate her body and mind. Although she didn't show up at the manor at all, Mama Gui went to explain it the next day, so she wasn't afraid that she would see any clues.

The old lady only asked why no one was there when she sent someone to pick her up from Zhuangzi, and Xia Xue'er said that she went to the fields to watch people work, so she missed it, and she had nothing to say.

Almost all high-ranking families will have several large and small estates, and the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion is naturally no exception. The manor is taken care of, and farmers are hired to grow all kinds of fruits, vegetables and grains in the fields. At this time of year, it is not surprising that Xia Xueer said that she went to the fields to watch people work.

After answering the old lady's words, Xia Xue'er had to sit down, but as soon as her butt touched the chair, she saw Shen coming in a hurry. The old lady didn't like her in the first place, and she made frequent mistakes, and was punished into the Buddhist hall several times, and the hand-copied Buddhist scriptures could be piled up into a small mountain, which still didn't necessarily need to be changed. Although the old lady didn't like her today, she didn't have the heart to continue to care about her, so she only frowned and saw her salute and hurriedly let her sit down.

The old lady seems to be very nervous about tomorrow's feast, although she is already familiar with the etiquette rules, she has repeatedly confirmed the dishes that have been set three or four times, and explained to the Li family to take care of her daughter, don't let her be naughty and cause trouble...... The big and small things were explained over and over again, and it took two hours before everyone was able to return to their courtyard.

Although Xia Xue'er has not been in the city for half a month, and she has not paid attention to many things, she also knows the importance of tomorrow's banquet from the attitude of the old lady tonight.

Yalanxuan and Tingyuxuan should have taken two roads in different directions, but Xia Xueer and her mother came together with a heart.

"The prince of Jian'an Hou was promoted to an official, and he was a servant of the household department."

Not long after she walked out of the Livable Pavilion, Mrs. Xia whispered such a sentence, Xia Xue'er was a little stunned on the spot, and turned her head to look at her mother in surprise.

Just after a moment, the sun has set, the sky will be dark, the moon has not yet taken office, and the sky and the earth are dark. The maid lit the lamp, and the hazy sky light and the dim candlelight reflected each other, shining on Mrs. Xia's face, but she couldn't see the slightest ripple, only her eyes were soft and looked at her daughter.

The reason why the Marquis of Anguo Mansion is sought after by the big families is precisely because although its position is not high, it is the one in power. Since ancient times, there is no right to be famous, and there is no power if there is a name, which is a necessary balance made by the royal family to prevent the courtiers from giving birth to two hearts. And the Marquis Mansion of Anguo is different, the Marquis has actual military power, and the prince holds an important position in the military department, although there are not no marquis families like this, but there are only a handful.

Now, the emperor suddenly brought the prince of the Marquis of Jian'an to the household department, and the position is on an equal footing with the summer, which is a good sign or ......

Mrs. Xia looked up at the sky and suddenly said, "The wind and rain are coming, don't drench yourself." After that, she took Mama Gui and left, leaving Xia Xue'er standing in place, looking up at the sky suspiciously, but it was calm, there was neither a strong wind nor a black cloud, and there was no sign of the coming wind and rain.
