Yiling lay alone on the bed in the guest bedroom of the Xu Mansion, looking at the ceiling in a daze. At this time, it was almost morning, but Yiling had no intention of sleeping.

She always felt that she had a big deal this time.

Four hours ago......

"What? You told me to confess my mistake to my father! Xu Hongbin was just about to open his mouth to scold, but he was covered by Yiling.

"If you make a louder noise, I won't be able to save the little lady." Yiling deliberately replied viciously.

"But it's not me, it's my father'......" Xu Hongbin looked at her with an aggrieved face, "If it wasn't ......"

"No matter what it is," Yi Ling immediately interrupted him, "Now only if you take the initiative to admit your mistake to him first, I will have the opportunity to meet your lady, and it will be possible to save her from the dire situation, you can think about it yourself, if you give up and fail in the end, only you will be uncomfortable, and I will not have anything to lose." ”

Xu Hongbin looked aggrieved and lowered his head. After all, Yiling still had some bodhisattva heart, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "I know that you are full of reluctance, but after all, it is a scene that does not make you truly repent, and I ask you to cooperate more." ”

Xu Hongbin thought for a while, and finally clenched his fists, and his eyes became firm and abnormal: "Okay, as long as I can save that girl, I will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire!" ”

"Okay, the big husband can bend and stretch, he is a man!" Yiling nodded appreciatively.

When Yiling was struggling with her brains and trying to persuade Xu Hongbin. Li Xiaoyao had some unexpected gains.

Li Xiaoyao originally came to catch demons, but now he is a seven-foot man, hiding behind a rockery and eavesdropping on the two little maids.

"Why did that little apprentice ask about that empty courtyard just now?" A maid asked.

"Who knows, but the matter of the empty courtyard is not something that anyone can say. The master has already given an order, don't let us chew the root of our tongue, otherwise we will wait to pack up and move. The other maid replied with disdain on her face.

"That's just as well." The little maid nodded. "But speaking of which, I looked at that Taoist master who was so young, not like an exorcist, but like a young talent, with a bit of a posture."

"Hey, put away your fancy intestines." The big girl flicked her head. "You've got it. It's better to think about when this work will be done! It's been delaying for several days, and I'm not afraid of the mother-in-law in charge of teaching you. ”

"What's there to be afraid of! The housekeeper's mother-in-law has always been the gentleest, and she is not the same as you......" The little maid said unconvinced. "But that young master is too thin, and sometimes when I look at him from a distance, I think he is a girl, not a young man."

"Who knows, maybe the cultivators usually deal with ghosts and monsters, and their bodies are weaker than others."

Li Xiaoyao listened to the conversation between the two behind the rockery. Seeing that the two maids were far away, he was still hiding behind the rockery and was reluctant to come out. That Taoist priest is his daughter's family? Li Xiaoyao carefully recalled the person's appearance. He didn't look closely at the first meeting. But now that I think about it, his body is indeed not as strong as that of ordinary men. Compared with this, the secret of Xu Zhai made him even more curious. The little apprentice they were talking about was the man next to the Taoist priest who looked a little taller than his master. It seems to be a little familiar, too. After a while, he can also go and ask the details in person.

Compared with these unexpected gains, Li Xiaoyao laid a net in the backyard. The demon rope, the demon net, the demon pot, the Qiankun bag, one piece does not fall. I just waited for half an afternoon, and I didn't see any wind and grass.

Li Xiaoyao gradually lost patience, seeing that there would be nothing to gain today. It was close to the bamboo forest in the yard. It is said that it is a bamboo forest, but it is just more than 20 bamboos connected together. Bamboo is planted in the corner of the courtyard, and the scale is not large. If this hadn't happened, maybe no one would have taken it seriously.

However, when he actually crouched down and began to look at the forest, he was taken aback.

The bamboo forest is verdant, and the dark green bamboo leaves tremble gently in the breeze, which is very poetic. Li Xiaoyao looked down the bamboo trunk and suddenly found that the surrounding area of the bamboo root was actually dark red.

How can bamboo be dark red? Li Xiaoyao felt that something was wrong, he already had a guess in his mind, he wanted to pick up the dirt to see the situation inside, but he gave up in a blink of an eye. There are many people, and there may be something unexpected when you do it at this moment. It's better to wait a little later, the people in Xu's house are asleep, and he is moving.

It just so happened that the maid on Master Xu's side came to call him over again. Worried that these traps would be destroyed by his subordinates, he had no choice but to pack up his things and go over there.

What Li Xiaoyao didn't expect was that Xu Hongbin would take the initiative to kneel down to Master Xu to admit his mistake. said that it was Yiling who helped him drive away the evil ghosts on his body. Retrieve his soul and let him recognize the true face of the female ghost. That's when I woke up. Looking at his son's sincere face, Master Xu was also full of emotion. Although this third son has a cowardly personality and is useless, he is also his own flesh and blood. Seeing him back on track, which father would be unhappy? On the other hand, because Li Xiaoyao did not find any trace of the female ghost in the back garden. Yi Ling took the opportunity to propose that since the female ghost came out at night to hook up with the young master, it was very likely that she would only be active at night. It's better to let him and Li Xiaoyao stay here, and ambush around the backyard at night, waiting for the female ghost to appear.

Yiling had just saved her third son, and her words carried some weight. Master Xu was naturally respectful to him, and immediately agreed, and immediately ordered his subordinates to clean up the room for the two of them. Everything seems to be well arranged. Only Xu Feng stood by alone, looking at Yiling in confusion, not knowing what tricks she was going to play.

Li Xiaoyao looked at this Taoist priest carefully, it was indeed the same as those maids said, his figure was a little thinner, but he did look like a man, and he spoke in a male voice, so he really couldn't imagine that this was a woman. Looking at Xu Feng, this little apprentice gave Li Xiaoyao a sense of déjà vu, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

Maybe it's because I'm too careful. He thought so.

Wait until you get back to your room. Yiling explained everything to him, a "good man", Xu Feng listened carefully beside him, and his expression was also very serious. But when Yiling finished telling him about her plan and began to complain to him about Xu Hongbin's embarrassment, Xu Feng couldn't help laughing, and even rolled back and forth on the floor twice.

"It's good that you get used to it." After Xu Feng finished speaking, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his expression suddenly became serious again, "By the way, I forgot to tell you." When I went to the Xu Mansion with my family to look around, I found that there was an empty courtyard in the southeast corner of the Xu House. The yard is very large, although it is deserted, but it seems to have lived in it, not only has a large flower bed, but also has many flower pots on the side. and some sparse trees and bamboo forests. It seems that the owner here must have loved to raise flowers during his lifetime. I also asked the maids next to me about who had lived here, but they didn't know anything, and the older ones didn't seem to know anything, and they didn't tell me, only that they would be punished......

"Oh, that's a lot more interesting." Yiling listened with interest to him about the condition of the yard. "The deserted courtyard, the secret that refuses to tell people, and even if you say it, you will be punished. It seems that there are still many stories hidden in this Xu house! ”

"It's okay," Yi Ling thought for a while and looked at Xu Feng, "I'll leave this matter to you to investigate." To find out who lived in Xu Zhai before and what happened, check them one by one thoroughly, and come back to report to me. ”

"Okay." Xu Feng nodded. I climbed out of the window and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Now the thing that Poria has to do is very simple, wait, wait until the evening to go out to find the banshee. She proposed to Master Xu that when she was young, the yin qi was the heaviest, and the female ghost was most likely to come out at that time. At that time, she will lurk in the courtyard with Li Xiaoyao.

She had already figured out that she would arrive before the appointed time and return in time when she saw the banshee. is taking the opportunity to create an image of a fake banshee to confuse Li Xiaoyao. In this way, the banshee will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to fool the past and escape. After that, she made another decision.

戌時

The starlight was not evident tonight, there was only a crescent moon in the sky, and a few insect chirps came from the bushes, but the insects could not be seen. Yiling changed into a night dress and pushed open the window. Seeing that no one was passing by, he climbed out of the house and rushed straight to the backyard.

It's quiet in the garden at the moment. The others knew that the two masters were going to come to hunt demons at night, and they were afraid that they would be haunted by ghosts, so they all went back to their dormitories to rest. In order to reduce the vigilance of the demon, Master Xu also specially took back a few strong men who were keeping vigil. Anyway, with two masters here, there is no way for any thieves to sneak into the courtyard. This gives Poria a lot of convenience.

She sneaked into the bamboo grove in the corner of the courtyard, where the moonlight was now avoiding the forest and spilling on a rockery. Do something here, and no one will find out.

"Hey girl, are you there?" Yi Ling asked cautiously, and seeing that there was no movement, she finally faded the disguise of her pupils and replaced them with her original golden pupils, "I know you are here, I am a demon, and I am here to save you." ”

A breeze blew, the bamboo leaves moved, Yiling felt a trace of spiritual power fluctuations, her heart was happy, she pretended to sigh and continued: "That Xu Sanshao of your family, I have been worried about you for the past two days, I don't think about tea every day, I don't want to eat, and I have lost a lot of weight!" If you don't come out again, how can I go back and explain to him? ”

Finally, the bamboo forest rustled, and wisps of white smoke floated out of it, condensing into a ball in front of Yiling and turning into a woman.

"You were found by Ah Bin?" The banshee looked at her with a frown. "Is he okay?"

"It's okay," Yiling hooked the corners of her mouth, "It's up to you to cooperate with me." ”

However, what even Yiling didn't expect was that at this moment, on the other side, there was a person with a shovel and rushing here......
