After the ice goose finished speaking, it was already noon. I listened so intently that I didn't come to my senses until she called me. After lying in bed for so long, I only felt a little numb in my legs and feet, so I decided to go out and move my muscles.

I walked out the door, and outside the door was a courtyard, surrounded by houses on all sides, and I thought, this is probably a "courtyard house" layout. I looked around and saw that there was no one but the ice geese. I saw that the door of a room was unlocked, and I went straight in, and it was very old and old. It was completely different from the one I had just stayed in, the red paint on the pillars had long since peeled off, and some of them were blackened, and there was nothing left against the wall except for a few tables and stools. I looked around, and suddenly I saw a painting hanging on the wall behind the pillar, which was the same as this house, very old, with a somewhat dull color, but the silhouette of the figure was still faintly visible. The painting depicts five women, of different ages and in different postures. The other few are not prominent, but the woman in the middle aroused my curiosity, I brushed the dust off the painting with my hand, and looked carefully at the woman in the painting, her appearance is very beautiful, faintly, I always feel that she is a little like the ice goose, this woman, could it be that the ice goose has something to do with it? Soon, I dispelled this doubt, because the time of the creation of this painting is fifty years ago, and I don't know whether it was from the time of the general or the time of the rich merchant. Looking at it, the image of the woman became clearer and clearer, somehow, I suddenly felt a headache, there was a woman in my mind, but I could only see her back, she was wearing a green dress, the clothes did not look like an ancient person, she was getting closer and closer to me, the image was becoming more and more real, she turned her head, I saw that her face was exactly the same as the woman in the painting, but the hairstyle was different. At this time, I was in extreme pain, and I couldn't straighten my waist, and I unconsciously shouted "poetry" in my mouth.

"Hanquan, what's wrong with you?" In my confusion, I heard someone shouting at me, I wanted to speak, but my head hurt so much that I couldn't say anything. At this moment, a pair of hands held me, and at the same time I felt a faint aroma, "Your head is so hot, Hanquan, I, I'll help you go back to rest!" I recognized it as the ice goose and hurriedly said, "No need, I'm fine." "What's wrong, people, people are worried about you!" Her voice paused, and she suddenly said, "Hey, what is this?" ”

At this time, I was not so painful, I looked up, saw her looking at the painting, sighed lightly, pointed to the woman in the painting, and said, "Bing Yan, do you have twin sisters?" Bingyan looked at me with a surprised face, paused, and said, "No! Hanquan, why did you think to ask this? I hesitated and said, "That's right, this painting is at least fifty years old, you are only in your twenties, and the young girl in the painting can never be you." "Young girl?" Bingyan wondered, looked at the woman in the painting, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly covered her mouth, "This, how is this possible, it is so similar to me!" ”

"It's not just similar, except for the different clothes, I feel that you and her are exactly the same!" I continued, and then I suddenly realized that my tone was a little impulsive, and I hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited." ”

"It's okay, you don't have to mind too much." Bingyan smiled slightly, "Maybe I have some relationship with her, but I really don't know what it has to do with her." I was an orphan without a father or mother since I was a child, and I was adopted by my father-in-law during the war, and my father-in-law treated me very well, and half of my martial arts were taught by him. He thought I was talented, so he asked several masters to teach me and treat me like his own daughter. He had no children under his knees, and he expected me to inherit his business, but I didn't expect ......" Speaking of this, Bing Yan couldn't cry, and I thought that she wanted to rebel about her father being killed by Li Pu again, so she hurriedly comforted her and said, "Let it pass in the past, don't mention it again." Your stepfather is a good man, but unfortunately he has taken the wrong path. But believing in his spirit in heaven still wants you to live happily, aren't you also very good now? ”

Bingyan was silent and nodded slightly, and I took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears, and let her lean on my shoulder. After a long while, suddenly, the pegs on the painting came loose and the painting fell to the ground. The moment the painting hit the ground, a mirror was revealed, and the light reflected from the mirror so that I could barely open my eyes. I approached the mirror around the light, and saw that the frame was covered with patina, but the mirror was very bright, and I was curious, and looked closely at the mirror, and found that the mirror was actually made of jade. The mirror is very large, and the jade weighs a few catties.

"This, this is too exaggerated, when I followed my father-in-law, my father-in-law also gave me such a mirror as a gift, but it was only the size of the palm of my hand, and I was already too happy at that time. Han Quan, do you know that this kind of jade is the best green jade, which can only be obtained in extremely cold places. Bingyan said, with a girlish tenderness on her face.

"Well, I've seen and heard some old people say that this thing is extremely yin, and it is generally hung outside the house, and it has the effect of driving away ghosts. This jade is made into a mirror, and it is in this room, I am afraid that something is wrong. "I suddenly thought of something, and I didn't say any more.

"Hanquan, are you hiding something from me?" Bingyan smiled, seeing that I had something on my mind.

I saw that since she asked, I said that it was okay for her, sighed and said: "This jade is an extremely yin thing, I have already said it, but about the legend of this jade, I said that you should not be afraid?" I winked at her and motioned for her to stop listening. But Bing Yan's face was flat and said, "You say, I'm not afraid." ”

I paused, took Bing Yan's hand and walked out of the house, and then told her what I knew, "This house has problems from the feng shui layout, and the whole house layout is a 'sleepy' word, and it is extremely unfavorable for people to live in this house, and they can't help but affect the future and the fate of the family." When I entered the house, I felt a gloomy feeling, and the appearance of this green jade made me even more sure that this was a murderous house, at least someone had died. As you can see, the whole house is taken care of except for this one. I blamed myself for being reckless, and I went in without seeing the seal on the door. ”

Speaking of this, Bing Yan's face was a little wrong, "Seal, why didn't I see it." I pointed to a big tree next to the house, and saw that the seal was hanging on the branches, swaying in the wind, very permeating. Bing Yan's face was a little pale, and she had always been very resistant to these gods and monsters. She paused and said, "That Hanquan, is there a ghost in this house?" ”

I saw that she was a little scared, and hurriedly said, "No, you can rest assured, if there is, I will protect you." ”

"Shall we go in then?" Bingyan asked.

"You wait for me here, I'll go in and have a look, and I'll come out in a while." I always felt that there was a secret in this room that I wanted to know, and that it might solve a mystery in my heart.

I walked a few steps, and when I looked back, I saw that Bing Yan wanted to follow, and hurriedly said, "It's going to be fine, you can rest assured." ”

I didn't go in, and I felt an indescribable sense of depression in my heart, and I couldn't help but wonder why I knew so much, and if I didn't, I wouldn't have to worry so much. I sighed softly and walked towards the jade, but I didn't dare get too close to it, because I felt a little strange in the dark.

At this moment, I saw a trace of blood in the green jade, could it be blood, thinking of this, my heart became more and more nervous. I once heard the old man in my family say that there is such a kind of green jade, which is fed with human blood, and the blood of a girl is the best. This kind of green jade is called blood green jade, which is priceless, but because it has to be invested too much, many people will do whatever it takes to kidnap the girl to sacrifice the jade with blood, and the government has therefore issued a ban, but all those who trade blood green jade and its related parties will be exterminated by the nine clans, but this kind of behavior has never stopped, but it is just unknown. The reason for this is not for the high profits.

I gritted my teeth, I had to do something to confirm that it was blood jade. I took out my dagger, cut my finger, and dripped a drop of blood onto the jade. At first, there was no movement, but suddenly I saw that the blood had seeped into the green jade, and it was slowly spreading, and finally the whole body was bloody. I watched from the sidelines, unable to speak, and what the old people said seemed to be true.

I took a few steps back, but I came across something, I stumbled and fell to the ground, and when I looked around, I realized that it was just a broken log, and there were many such logs nearby, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I looked up, and suddenly I saw a white thing dangling in front of my eyes, and I looked at it and couldn't help but feel a shock, it was clearly a white silk, hanging on the girder. I was stunned, this white silk is used for hanging, could it be......

I rubbed my eyes, and when I looked at the white silk again, it was gone. "Maybe I'm looking away." I consoled myself by saying that at this moment, I heard a woman laughing in my ears, and there were many women, and the voice of the ice goose was most familiar to me, and it was definitely not her, then, could it be......

I turned my head, and I saw the faces of many women on the jade, and they were all smiling at me, laughing so weirdly that my scalp was tingling. I felt that my eardrums were hurting, and I was busy covering my ears, but the sound was getting clearer and clearer, echoing in my mind, and I felt a splitting headache, and I wanted to go out, but I found that the door was locked and could not be opened. I was shocked when a few figures gradually appeared in the room, because I could clearly see that they were the women in the painting, which had been painted for decades, but these women still looked the same, but I was afraid that they were not human. I only heard one of them say: "Come here, don't want to get out alive, anyway, your Chen family, there is no good thing!" "It's a very thin voice, which doesn't sound like much on a normal day, but it's creepy at this time.

"What Chen family?" As soon as I said a word, she grabbed me by the throat and pointed her finger at my temple. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Vajra Seal", and saw a golden light flash on my forehead, and then she withdrew her hand. This "Vajra Seal" was left by a wandering monk when I was a hundred days old, and he said that it will be useful in the future, and he may be able to save my life, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time. "Hmph, so what, today is your death!" She sneered, and actually stretched out a nine-foot white silk from her sleeve and wrapped me up, I wanted to take out the yin-yang mirror, but I couldn't move. At this moment, one of the women, no, it should be said that it was a female ghost, said: "Sister, it's too cheap for him to die like this, don't forget, it was this Chen Tao who killed us, so that we will never be able to live beyond the life and be trapped in this broken jade!" "Hmph, I know that. Chen Tao, you fell into our hands today, what else do you have to say? ”

I was confused, I didn't understand what they were talking about, and said: "No, where is this, are you mistaken, I am really not Chen Tao, this has been so many years, most of him is dead, even if he is not dead, he is still a person who will be buried in the ground, what does it have to do with me?" ”

The female ghosts were unrelenting: "You said that you are not Chen Tao, it probably has something to do with him!" How else did you get in! I was speechless for a moment, but said, "No, it's a misunderstanding." ”

"Misunderstanding, who knows what else you have done to hurt the heavens and reason, you said, Sister Xue'er was not forced to death by you!" A female ghost said, "Xiaolan, what are you listening to him quibbling about, killing him can relieve the hatred in your heart." Bai Ayame said. I can't help but be angry and funny, I'm messing with someone.

"A few sisters, have you made enough trouble? How many times have I said that I am not Chen Tao, if I continue like this, I will fight back! I laughed, "Who is your sister, oh, when you are dying, you still speak wildly, I see what you can do!" The white ayame sneered.

I yawned, stretched, and tore the white silk to pieces. "How is it possible, how can my white silk be torn off by mortals, could it be that you are not human!" The white ayame said with a look of surprise.

"How do you speak? Who is not human? You're not human! I feigned anger and said. As I spoke, I took out the Yin-Yang Ancient Mirror, held it in my hand, and shouted: "Don't move, this is the Yin-Yang Mirror, and if you are illuminated by it, your soul will be scattered, and that is why you will not be able to live forever." ”

"Don't listen to him, he's scaring us, sisters, let's go together!" The white girl said, she has already pounced on me, I am amused, it's all at this juncture, who is in the mood to bluff you, it seems that it is not okay not to give you some color. I picked up the yin-yang mirror and looked at the white aya girl, who screamed in pain, and her whole body seemed to be evaporated, curled up into a ball, and her face showed burn marks, which was extremely hideous. At this time, Na Xiaolan suddenly knelt down with a "plop": "Please, let my sister go." But the white girl still didn't give in: "Xiaolan, don't ask for this dog thing, have you forgotten how he treated us?" I won't forgive him even if I'm gone! ”

I sighed helplessly, but I still put away the yin-yang mirror, because I was afraid that the white aya girl would really lose her soul, so it would be unclear. The white girl collapsed to the ground, her face was burned, and the other female ghosts covered her face and didn't dare to move, after all, no girl wanted to be disfigured, even if she became a ghost. Bai Ayanu sighed: "We have been trapped here for fifty years, but we still can't resist him after all. That's it, that's it, Chen Tao, you let our souls fly away! ”

At this moment, Bing Yan suddenly pushed open the door, "Hanquan, you haven't come out for so long, I'm afraid that you are in danger, so come in and have a look." Are you okay? I nodded and motioned for her not to come in, but she still entered the door, saw the female ghosts, and asked me with a fox face: "Who are these people?" I looked ugly and just whispered in her ear, "Not human." Bing Yan's face changed and he muttered, "That's a ghost." ”

Suddenly, Xiaolan shouted "Sister Xue'er" at Bing Yan, Bing Yan was very puzzled, but she saw Xiaolan with a surprised face, if I hadn't stopped her, she would have run to Bing Yan's side. The rest of the female ghosts also shouted "Sister Cher".

"Me, I'm Cher?" Ice Goose was also a little suspicious of who she was, "Don't listen to their nonsense. You are my ice goose, not Xue'er. I hurriedly said.

"Guan Hanquan, is he really not Chen Tao?" The white lady said to herself, "Chen Tao, I really don't know him, I only know that this place was a general's mansion at the earliest, and I really don't know what the general's origin is." I said.

"General, hmph, he's a general, but he's doing some shady things. Just because we knew some ugly things about him, he simply killed us, and nourished this jade with our blood, so that we will never leave this house. The white ayame said.

I saw that she no longer misunderstood what Chen Tao was me, so I asked, "What's the ugly thing?" The white lady was not afraid that I would know, and said: "That Chen Tao is a general under Bai Qi, he has no ability, but he is very good at studying crooked ways, and he pretends to be a benevolent and righteous gentleman on weekdays, but he does some digging up graves behind his back." His official position was bought entirely on dirty money. We also heard these things when he was drunk, and we were just subordinates, but he wanted to kill people, and fearing retribution, so he asked the sorcerer to pour our souls into the jade by pouring blood into the jade so that we would never be reborn. After the white girl finished speaking, she couldn't cry.

Bing Yan listened from the sidelines, not only was he afraid, but he was very sympathetic to them, and suddenly asked, "Han Quan, could it have something to do with that incident?" I was a little surprised and hurriedly asked, "What is it?" Bingyan said, "The tomb of King Yong." ”

Hearing this, all the female ghosts raised their heads together and asked, "How do you know?" Bingyan glanced at me, I knew that she had to let me say it, I sighed and said, "Then Chen Tao has found a clue about the tomb of King Yong, and he is afraid that you will leak the secret, so he will kill you." All the female ghosts replied in unison, "Indeed, where is this traitor now?" ”

I laughed three times and said, "Don't worry, he has long since turned to bones, and he was tortured before he died." "Then I told them about the adventure at the bottom of the cliff that day, Bai Qi was given death by King Qin Xiang Du You, but he actually died at the bottom of the cliff, there must be something strange in the middle, plus this general's mansion declined after Bai Qi was given to die, I am more sure that the person who gave death that day was not someone else, it was Chen Tao, this Chen Tao is Bai Qi's henchman, it is most suitable to find him, but why Bai Qi finally died at the bottom of the cliff, but it is unknown. After hearing this, all the female ghosts clapped their hands and applauded.

Bing Yan looked gloomy and said, "Although he is dead, how can he make up for the mistakes he has made, aren't these sisters still trapped here?" When the female ghosts heard this, they were silent.

"It's not that there is no way, as long as you break this green jade, the soul will naturally be released." I said. At this time, Na Xiaolan said: "It's useless, as soon as you touch this jade, you will be sucked dry of yang energy." ”

"Who said I'm going to touch it?" I laughed, a snowflake dart was already in my hand, and with a "whoosh" it struck, shattering the green jade, which shattered to the ground, and the blood inside flowed out and seeped below. The spirits of the female ghosts were also freed.

The white ayame bowed to me, whispered "thank you", and turned into a wisp of green smoke and was reincarnated. Xiaolan glanced at Bingyan reluctantly a few times, and said, "Sister Xue'er, thank you for taking care of me, if there is an afterlife, we will still be sisters." Although Bingyan couldn't understand what she was saying, she nodded, and the other two female ghosts said "take care", and turned into green smoke with Xiaolan and dispersed with the wind.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, but I didn't expect that this was just the beginning, because I saw that behind the green jade, there was a secret grid, and there was a big iron box inside, and I didn't know what was in the iron box.
