The young Xuyan Taoist priest is completely different from the gloomy and withdrawn Xu Ne in his previous life, and in a short period of time, he has gotten along with Du Xuanshuang and others like old acquaintances, and in the eyes of the Zhou family who temporarily lived in Puji Temple, he confirmed his cognition that he was the Du family.

And his words and deeds in front of Man Yun are becoming more and more direct and honest, thanks to the experience of his previous life, Zhou Manyun knows that he is deliberately befriending her, and wants to gain her trust.

Trustworthiness is not incompatible with proper vigilance.

Just like the little snake Yinzi who appears next to Man Yun every day, although he is very close to her when no one is around, but where the little snake is hiding in ordinary times, Man Yun doesn't know.

She thinks it's good that Little Snake never blindly thinks it's safe to follow her.

It is the same if Man Yun wants to worship the false words as a teacher. wants to learn poison from him, just so that he can get rid of his complete dependence on him.

She wasn't sure if the lie would re-follow Xu Ne's trajectory one day, changing or leaving, it was already full of variables. She can only think as much as possible, what if the golden crow on her mother has a future or if the people close to her are poisoned in the future?

It is better to minimize the risk than to have it.

It's just that the noncommittal attitude of the Taoist priest in front of him after hearing her apprenticeship made Zhou Manyun feel a little uneasy.

"Indeed, it would be a pity if you were only raised as a medicine man who fed silver." , Xuyan looked at Zhou Manyun and sighed.

The little girl said what he had been trying to seduce her, but his heart was even heavier.

The homeland of Nanzhao was often called a barbarian land by the people of the Chen Dynasty, as if the locals living there were some uncivilized mountain savages. What's more, they think that the people of Nanzhao are still drinking blood in Rumao. But in fact, the princes and nobles of Nanzhao had begun to learn to educate their children according to the standards of the famous families in the Central Plains more than 100 years ago, and they were the same as Chen Chao. In Nanzhao, it is a symbol of status.

This is also the Chen Dynasty's capture of Nanzhao and the return of the land. One of the reasons why most of the nobles in Nanzhao had no intention of resisting at all.

Since he was a child, there were several gentlemen around him who taught him to practice the cultural etiquette of the Chen Dynasty, and because his marriage partner when he grew up may be the noble daughter of the Chen Dynasty, he also turned over the female commandments that are said to be strictly observed by the celebrities of the Chen Dynasty, and thought about the virtuous appearance of his future wife, full of yearning.

It's just that later the country broke and his family died, and he came to the Chen Dynasty he once longed for, but found that this place was not as beautiful as he thought at the beginning.

For example, farmers in West Bay who can't finish their labor. The bandits encountered by the Zhou family...... Another example is Zhou Manhua, who was just sent away.

The little girl in front of her and the girl who was poisoned by her own mother are cousins, both from the Zhou family in Huocheng, Jiangnan.

"Jiangnan 14 Jiangbei 8, Yan 6 Ba 5 Guan Zhong 7", the Zhou family is one of the 14 Jiangnan families he recited when he was a child, and the teacher who taught him at that time told him that these famous families that have been inherited in an orderly manner after several dynasties are the foundation of the Chen Dynasty's establishment in the Central Plains, and they have strict norms for their children's education.

"Do you know the medical women scattered in the state capitals?" , Falsely moved a chair and sat in front of Zhou Manyun. Ask seriously.

Zhou Manyun nodded and said, "The state government medical office has a special medical woman, which is a rule set by Emperor Taizu. ”

"Then do you know that the victory of the people vying to be a doctor during the period of Taizu Hongxian was spectacular. Even some wealthy counties and towns have set up women's medical centers. But when she arrived in Zuihou, the female doctor finally became a flash in the pan in response to the decree, waiting for Taizu to die. Most of the official female doctors in the state capitals have been turned into private offerings of the family, and the girls of ordinary families are also reluctant to study medicine because it is difficult for medical women to marry. So much so that now although the state medical offices have retained medical women because of the Taizu Decree, most of them choose young girls from the lowly books to teach them. ”

"I know. If the women of the family know how to heal, they can only prescribe prescriptions to the people around them in the boudoir at most. Man Yun took the words, looking at the lie with burning eyes, and all she asked for was that.

"What I want to say is that a girl from a good family is not a doctor, because the world does not allow it, and practicing medicine is cheap, let alone learning poison! The world has a natural fear of poison in their hearts, if you learn poison from me, can you ever think about what your future holds? You're a smart kid, I don't want to lie to you. And...... And do you want to ask your mother's opinion? In the eyes of the false words, there was a little caution.

"If you can hide it, it's fine. If I can't hide it, others will think that I am a femme fatale, afraid of me, and have a bad heart. Won't even a man from a good family be willing to marry me? ”

Man Yun's whisper rang clearly in the side of his ears, and he was stunned.

"Can't women learn to poison?"

"Learned. And comparatively, girls have an advantage over men in studying poison. For example, hiding drugs, jewelry, sachets, rouge gouache...... The thin fingers of the lips are more convenient than those of men. If it is a barbarian girl, it will also be painted with poison, close to the body, like a butterfly like a bee, and then dyed it.

"So, have you ever seen a woman learn poison?"

"I've seen it! Not only have I seen it, but my master is a woman. She...... Indeed, he never married. The lie concealed the special identity of the master, and only said the facts.

"So what if you don't get married? If you don't marry, will you die? Man Yun lowered his eyes and asked again, his long eyelashes covering the desolation.

What if no one marries, the ex-husband and the future husband who had a bad relationship in the previous life can be called young and handsome, and the dragon and phoenix among people. She got married and followed, did she once envy many daughters' families?

But Zuihou, she died, and she must not die well.

"If you want to kill someone, you don't need to use poison, for example, a pair of hands is enough." , a pair of small hands raised in front of the false words, and strangled hard, "I just know that I try my best to learn more, and it may make me live longer." ”

"I really think you're not smart, but wicked." , Hypocrisy sighed softly. For a five-year-old child, Zhou Manyun's thoughts and thoughts are terrifying, but it is this demonic sense of disobedience that makes him heartbroken.

"That's right! Demons! Zhou Manyun raised his head and smiled sweetly, and took a deep breath, "Then do you dare to teach me?" Master! ”。

She dared to bet! Compared to Xu Ne, who she couldn't see clearly in her previous life, the hesitation and fiery that gradually appeared in her young eyes were almost transparent in her eyes.

"July...... On the fifteenth day of July, I will take you to the ancestors of the Shaman Gate ......"

After a while, the anxious Mother Zhu had already begun to count the sacrifices to be prepared. Up and down, including the still swaddling kitten, she told her. Sister Yun wants to follow the Taoist to learn "medicine". In her opinion, Sister Yun can learn from a Taoist with excellent medical skills. It's a great thing.

"Good! Don't let Madame know. After listening to Manyun's words in his ear, Du Shi's rare word-by-word answer made the small courtyard of Baoshu Village immediately fall into a jubilant and lively ......

At the same time, the temple is also very lively.

Because the monks who were trapped in the temple on a rainy day originally thought that they could hide in the meditation room and steal half a day's leisure, but they were summoned by the presiding master and began to work on a ritual.

The grandmother of the Zhou family, who lives in the temple, saw hell last night.

It is said that it was her daughter, who unfortunately died at the height of her youth. The ghost of the soul was haunted for half a night, and Zuihou also touched a pair of scissors in Xie's room.

The great monk Zhike was worried, and as soon as he said that it was haunted, Mrs. Zhou, who was the head of the Zhou family, said that she would leave the temple within two days, without fear of wind and rain. At this time, it was necessary for him to lose a lot of tips out of thin air.

A few little monks, you tell ghost stories with one word, and they are happy, and when they go down the mountain to change their fate, they can have more talk about subduing demons and subduing demons in the temple. The temple receives guests from the south to the north, and there are many white things encountered. Staying in the worldly home courtyard or inn is afraid of bad luck. But in the temple, this is doing merit.

"Hasn't the body of the eldest girl of the Zhou family been sitting in Baiyun Nunnery? Listening to the host and Mrs. Zhou, it was because of the high terrain of Puji Temple that the rain was like tears. poured out the Baiyun Nunnery, so that the soul of the eldest girl of the Zhou family was not at peace, and she went up the mountain to visit her mother. Mrs. Zhou cried for a long time. Only then did they arrange to go to Baiyun Nunnery to turn Miss Zhou's body first. ”

"The owner of Baiyun Nunnery will only cheat the money of the women in the house. With the fifth senior brother who went down the mountain, I saw that the soul fixing talisman under Miss Zhou's corpse was so thick! A little monk stood up and exaggerated the thickness. But just like that, I didn't freeze that soul. ”

"Have you heard about the fact that the Zhou family originally lived in the city......

A few small round bald heads made up a circle. Pretend to be mysterious.

"Mother, what happened to them in the city, and I bothered Uncle Gu to go down the mountain and try to inquire as much as possible." , Zhou Yang, who had heard the conversations of several little monks, thought about it and whispered to the old servant Zhou Gu who was following him.

Originally, on the road, Zhou Yang listened to Liu Gui, who was sent by Wufang to pick him up, mention the Zhou family's encounter with bandits in Fengjin, and while he was horrified, he also felt that the Zhou family was really bad luck and bad luck. But after receiving the news that his eldest sister-in-law was frightened by a ghost this morning, he was a little more suspicious in his heart.

Mrs. Zhou and her fourth brother Zhou Tan both told him that Zhou Manhua, the eldest girl in the long house, had the same childhood plague as her younger brother Wen Ge'er and died. But he vaguely heard the repeated shouts of the Xie clan before he was poured the calming tea, and the voice "Don't come...... It's none of my mother's business...... "Listen, there are indeed ghosts."

Zhou Yang is also a father, and with his wife Lin Si'er recently washing her face with tears compared to her eldest sister-in-law, he intuitively felt that something was wrong.

If something really happened to the eldest sister-in-law of the long house, is it Huo Cheng's housekeeping, at least the ancestral house in the hands of his wife can not be let out?

"Let's!" , This is Mrs. Zhou's wife Meng's deathbed will, she told Zhou Yang and others to take Mrs. Zhou back to Huocheng, he had to hand over all the affairs of the Zhou family in Huocheng with the long house.

Zhou Yang was determined to do so, but he felt even more aggrieved. At that time, his mother-in-law Huang had a marriage contract with Zhou Xian, but because of a concession, for the sake of the concubine, he had to retreat to the end, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

Zhou Gu, who was sent by Zhou Yang to Fengjin City, was very shrewd and capable, and with the help of money and silver, at dusk, he reported everything he heard to Zhou Yang. He is a servant of the Zhou family, and he has always been in Huocheng, Jiangnan, watching Zhou Yang grow up, and his feelings are different.

Hearing Zhou Gu's return, Zhou Yang shrank his pupils, a few drops of sweat hung on his slightly chubby face, and said, "Uncle Gu!" Are you sure it's true, it's not a villain? ”

"The eldest girl did commit suicide after being raped! For this reason, the eldest grandmother also killed the princess who followed her, and Yu Qiao, who was next to the eldest girl, was also punished with a cane, but Yu Qiao disappeared in the later bandits, and I don't know whether she jumped or was robbed by the bandits.

The case was originally reported to Fengjin County, but the case was later withdrawn by his wife. Because the Fengjin County Ya was burned, the case files and records were also burned. But Lou Zhixian verified that the clothes of the eldest girl who had asked Mrs. He to help put away were still there. ”

Zhou Gu answered categorically the facts he had heard in Fengjin County, and a package as evidence was placed on the table and opened.

"I said that I was from Huocheng Zhoufu, and Mrs. He gave me this, and told me that it was best to burn it."

A set of obscene clothes that were torn into several pieces appeared in front of Zhou Yang's eyes, and the smoke and purple fragrant silk he sent to Luojing from Jiangnan last year, with a cluster of flowers embroidered with the word "Hua" on the edge of the corner of the clothes, with a few mottled rust red.

Zhou Yang stood up suddenly, "Take it and burn it...... Take it ......"

After hesitating for a while, the furoshiki was still closed by Zhou Yang's trembling hand. He gritted his teeth and said, "Take it first!" Let the thrush find a chance to find two more relics of Sister Hua'er and leave a memory. ”

The thrush was a maid brought by Zhou Yang from Huocheng, and was now being sent to help serve in the Xie family's room...... (To be continued......)
