"Sora?"

Xiaokong put down the book and got up and said, "Dream Child." ”

Meng Zhou sat at the desk and asked casually, "What book are you reading?" ”

"An ancient book."

Meng Zhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you understand?" ”

Xiaokong shook his head and said, "I don't know much about it, there are many words and methods in it that I don't understand." ”

"How to make it?" Mengzhou Q&A: "This is an ancient book recipe?" ”

Xiaokong was silent for two seconds, and gently denied: "No, it's a pharmaceutical method." ”

"Oh." Meng Zhou touched the tip of his nose, a little embarrassed, "If you don't understand, you can ask your brother Huaizhi, he is very knowledgeable and will definitely be able to point you out." ”

Xiao Kong lowered his head, pinched the corner of his clothes and whispered, "I was originally going to ask." ”

Meng Zhou remembered the scene just now, twisted his hands and hesitated for a long time and said slowly: "That, Xiaokong, in fact, just now..."

"Dream Childe."

"Huh?"

Xiaokong raised his head and said sincerely: "You don't need to say much, I understand, don't worry, childe, you are kind to me, I will never go out and talk nonsense." ”

Meng Zhou opened his mouth and put down his hand a little vainly, "Forget it, I'll talk to you when I have the opportunity." You read the book. ”

"Meng Gongzi, can I ask you a question?"

Meng Zhou nodded, and Xiao Kong continued: "Meng Gongzi, do you know what Pei Yuan means to control the spirit." ”

"Pei Yuan Soul Control?" Meng Zhou picked up the book and asked, "Is it written in this book?" ”

"Well, this book says that a long time ago, there was a kind of witchcraft in the southwest region, which could be used to control the spirit. However, I studied it for a long time, and I didn't know what this meant. ”

"Witchcraft." Meng Zhou suddenly remembered the Gu worm that Zhang Hou mentioned.

"Sora, besides this book, you've seen this kind of account elsewhere."

Sora pulled open the cubicle behind him, revealing an entire wall of books. "There are these other two, but they are more obscure, and I really can't understand them, so I haven't studied them."

Meng Zhou picked up the books, touched Xiao Kong's head and said, "These books are temporarily borrowed for me." ”

"Okay."

Heshan drank tea in the courtyard when he saw Zhou Feng rushing out of the small empty room like the wind in his dream, and rushed into the Huaizhi room like the wind, and he didn't know that he thought she had smashed the hornet's nest again.

"Huaizhi, Huaizhi."

"What's wrong?"

Meng Zhou handed the book to Jing Rong and said, "Look at this." ”

Jing Rong stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it carefully, and frowned slightly, "Where did you get this book?" ”

"In Xiaokong and Heshan's room, this book was just read by Xiaokong, and when he talked to me about witchcraft and soul control, I suddenly remembered that Zhang Hou mentioned that Gu worm to us before, do you think there will be any connection between the two?"

Jing Rong said: "This book has a method, the witch master collects the larvae and nourishes them with human blood, and after they grow up, they will be given medicine to people, first enrich their blood and qi, and then reshape Pei Yuan, and finally be able to control the spirit." ”

Meng Zhou scratched his head and hesitated: "So, what does this mean?" ”

"This is a kind of evil art, and it is written exactly how to control a person through a Gu worm." Jing Rong explained: "Use human blood to cultivate a Gu worm first, and then use it as medicine when the time is right. After taking this medicine, the person will be full of qi and blood and physical strength at first, and slowly as the Gu worm adapts to the human body, it will regurgitate the essence of the person and become the host. And after that, the person behind the control of this Gu worm will become the true master of this body. ”

Meng Zhou exclaimed: "Then isn't this a puppet cultivator." By the way, does this book say what will happen if the Gu worm medicine fails to control the spirit? ”

"Not really."

Meng Zhou recalled: "From the psychedelic flowers, to those who died tragically in the Shaoguang Hall, to the Gu worms that devoured the blood of human sperm, to the evil art that we learned by chance now, there must be some connection between this. ”

"Do you really think this book is accidental?"

Mengzhou turned around, Heshan leaned against the door frame, still holding a cup of tea in his hand, leisurely.

Meng Zhou frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Heshan walked a few steps and sat down at the table, "I guess you have just seen the book wall in the small empty room." ”

"Yes."

"There are a lot of medical books on that wall, but Xiaokong chose a few such obscure books, don't you think it's strange?" Heshan pointed to the books and said, "I've tried, no matter which book I want to take from that wall, one of these books will definitely fall." ”

Meng Zhou said: "You mean that someone deliberately wants us to find this. Meng Zhou groaned: "The place we live in now was arranged by Liu Yi, could it be his handiwork?" ”

Heshan said: "I also doubted, so I went to Liu Yi's residence yesterday, and by the way, I went to Nanyuan Xie Chi's residence, guess what I found?" ”

Seeing that no one was talking, Heshan sighed and said: "It's Yan Qi beside Liu Yi, he appeared in these two places one after another, and then he went to see a man and gave the man a letter." ”

Meng Zhou said: "Can you see what that person looks like?" ”

Tsuruyama shook his head, "The man is wearing a hat with a low brim, and I can only see his chin. ”

Meng Zhou was about to ask something, but suddenly a shout came from outside the hospital, "Is Meng Gongzi here?" ”

Meng Zhou was a little helpless, kicked Heshan and said, "Let's go, take something." ”

"The slave maid has seen two sons, Dream Boy, and the slave maid is the maid who serves by the young lady's side - Yue'er. I would like to add something to your sons. ”

Meng Zhou smiled: "Hard work girl. ”

"Childe is serious." Yue'er said and waved her hand, "A few of you will divide these things in the rooms of several sons." ”

Everyone dispersed, Yue'er stepped forward and took out a letter from her sleeve, and said in a low voice: "I also hope that Meng Gongzi will transfer this letter to Huai Zhigongzi." ”

"Ah, oh yes, it must be."

Yue'er bowed slightly and took a step back, "There is Lao Menggongzi." ”

"Yue'er girl." Heshan came out of nowhere, watching the people in the courtyard go in and out, and said curiously: "Do you young ladies usually serve so many people in the courtyard?" ”

Yue'er said: "There are more people in the young lady's courtyard, but the only ones who are close to serve are slaves and maids and Atul." Yue'er said and saw that everyone in the courtyard had been placed, and said, "Two sons, everything is ready, and the slave and maid have retired." ”

Meng Zhou took the letter in his hand and asked as he walked into the Jing melting room, "What did you just ask that for?" ”

"There's a man in there, I look like the man I saw yesterday."

"Didn't you see his face?"

Heshan said: "I didn't see it, but I clearly saw that when the man received the envelope yesterday, his left hand was wrapped in a white cloth, and it was very ugly, almost the same as the man who went to your house today to put things in his hand, and his body shape and feeling were also very similar." ”

"No wonder I saw you walking around my house with sinister eyebrows, it turned out to be for this."

Heshan rolled his eyes, "Did you listen to me, is this the point of what I said?"

"Hear me, don't I think about it? In this way, I will go to Shen Min's hospital for a while. ”

"You want to use Brother Huai as an excuse again?"

Meng Zhou flicked the letter in his hand: "Don't look for it, I have a good reason to go." ”

In the Jing Rong room, Meng Zhou shook the letter in his hand, "Oh, Shen Min'er's letter to you." ”

Seeing that Jing dissolved, Meng Zhou Nunu mouthed, "Take it." ”

Jing Ronghuan asked rhetorically, "Do you really want me to see it?" ”

Meng Zhou lifted the letter and said, "Well, I'm still waiting to get your reply to Shen Min'er?" Here, you watch first, I'll prepare pen and ink for you. ”

A moment later, Meng Zhou was pushed out of the room with the letter by Jing Rong, she looked back at the closed door, waved her fist and felt very angry, this person was simply a small belly, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

"Miss, Dream Boy is here."

"Please." Shen Min'er said as she put down the gauze and said to the people beside her: "Atul, you wait first, I'll bandage you later." ”

Mengzhou: "Miss Shen." ”

"Meng Gongzi is here, please sit down, Yue'er, pour tea."

When Meng Zhou sat down, he glanced at the distant back and said, "That's?" ”

Shen Min'er followed Meng Zhou's line of sight and said casually: "Oh, you said Atu, he was specially sent by the eldest brother to protect me, and he has been with me for a long time, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, I just saw Miss Shen bandaging Attu's wound when I came in, I thought..."

Shen Min'er hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Master Meng, don't get me wrong, Attu and Yue'er are the same people who have been with me for a long, long time, and they treat me very well, so I have never regarded them as servants, in my heart, both of them are my friends." What's more, the injury on Attu's hand was because he was injured the day before yesterday to save me, and it is impossible for me to sit idly by. ”

Meng Zhou smiled: "No, by the way, Miss Shen just said that Attu was injured to save you, are you injured?" ”

Shen Min'er said: "Hey, this thing is also strange, the day before yesterday I was on my way back from Taoyuan, I met a crazy cat that came straight at me, fortunately Atul grabbed it, otherwise I would have to ask it to bite off its neck." I was bitten by a mad cat when I was a child, leaving a shadow, so after I went back that day, I had palpitations for a long time before I fell asleep, and I don't know which maid opened the back window and didn't close, so I blew the wind in the middle of the night, and I was infected with the wind chill the next day. Shen Min'er said regretfully: "Just because of this illness, I can't take you to the Gaofu banquet." ”

Meng Zhou said: "It doesn't matter, the key is that Miss Shen is fine, right." Meng Zhou took out a letter from his bosom and put it on the table, and said softly, "This is for Miss Shen." ”

Shen Min'er's eyes lit up: "It was Brother Huaizhi who asked you to give it to me, I have worked hard to dream of a child." ”

Meng Zhou smiled, touched the tip of his nose and said, I am indeed hard, the letter is opened by me, and the reply is written by me painstakingly. I had a lot of kindness, and I was kicked out of the room in the end. Meng Zhou thought about it and glanced at Shen Min'er in her heart, she must not see any clues.

"Is Brother Huaizhi very sick?"

Meng Zhou thought back to Jing Rong's strength in pushing her out of the room, nodded and said, "Anyway, I can't get up in the past two days." ”

"No wonder." Shen Min'er touched the letter and said with some distress: "Although this letter is only a few words, he must have struggled to write it." ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhou choked on a sip of tea, and almost didn't go over, the original handwriting was ugly and there could still be such a statement.

"Dream Child, are you okay?"

"It's fine." Mengzhou took the handkerchief handed over by Yue'er, wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "Thank you, Miss Shen is really understanding." ”

Shen Min'er carefully put away the letter, wrapped it in a handkerchief and handed it to Yue'er beside her, "You help me put it away, remember not to fold it." ”

"Yes, miss."

Meng Zhou looked at Shen Min'er's appearance, and suddenly felt a little guilty in her heart, Shen Min'er was sincere and frank, and she should be really happy when she saw the letter she received just now, but they made up one lie after another to deceive the girl in front of them.

"Miss Min'er."

Shen Min'er turned her head and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Meng Zhou hesitated for a moment and said: "You are a very good girl, you will definitely be happy in the future." ”

The wind in the courtyard moved, blowing down a burst of tea fragrance, Shen Min'er's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, "I know, those people I've met say so." ”

When Yue'er came out of the room, she saw Shen Min'er sitting alone at the table in a daze.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, let's go into the house, you can call Atul." Shen Min'er rubbed her eyes and said, "His wound hasn't been changed yet." ”

"Yes."

In the courtyard, a few clumps of grass were swaying in the wind.

"I'm back." Heshan touched Meng's shoulder and said, "What's wrong with you, absent-minded, how are you going?" ”

Meng Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his thoughts and said: "I inquired clearly, the man you mentioned is called Attu, and he was sent by Xie Chi to protect her by Shen Min'er's side, and he has been following Shen Min'er for a long time. ”

Heshan said: "Yan Qi is the person next to Liu Yi, as for this Atul, although he is by Shen Min'er's side, it should be Xie Chi's person, according to the news I inquired, the relationship between Liu Yi and Xie Chi is not harmonious, it stands to reason that each is his master, and the two of them should have no reason to meet in secret, unless, these two people are actually doing things for one person." ”

Meng Zhou knocked on the table and said, "Heshan, according to what Shen Min'er said, when will Xie Chi come back." ”

"Five days to go."
