Chapter 144: The Old Ghost Descends the Mountain
The puppy stood up like an adult and patted Xiaohuan on the back, trying to give her a little comfort.
"Mother, this silence has been imprisoned in the firewood room, and our goal has finally been achieved."
Shen Yan said to the Yuan clan with a smile, and his face was full of pride when he thought of Shen Mo being taken away by the family in the afternoon and giving up resistance.
The Yuan clan turned around and picked up a jade bracelet, this white jade bracelet was found in Shen Mo's mother's room when she had just entered the Shen Mansion before.
This is really a good piece of jade, crystal clear, and very valuable.
Yuan's eyes were vicious, and he quietly turned the bracelet. A resentment rose in his heart, and he increased his strength.
"Yan'er, I warned you for my mother, leaving a way for the enemy to live is to leave a way for yourself to die."
Shen Yan looked at his mother with a look of hatred, and was a little scared of such a mother in his heart, I don't know what kind of hatred she has for Shen Mo, now that she has been locked up by her father in the firewood room, isn't this enough?
"Don't you want to get rid of the silence?"
Yuan walked up to Shen Yan and suddenly pinched Shen Yan's chin, and Shen Yan was so frightened that he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Don't you hate that she robbed everything that should belong to you?"
If there is no silence, then the identity of the Shen family's concubine is Shen Yan's, and everything will change, and the situation will take on another state.
"She's been locked up in the firewood room by her father..."
Before Shen Yan finished speaking, he was frightened by Yuan's eyes and didn't dare to speak.
"Don't be locked in the firewood room, is that what you think you are to get rid of? To get rid is to make the person disappear completely. Disappearing, you know? ”
Yuan's eyes were like a witch, her fingers pinched Shen Yan's face and left a few blood marks, she couldn't see her daughter so cowardly, Shen Mo and her mother were damned people, and neither of them was allowed to live in the world.
Knowing that Shen Yan's frightened eyes were full of tears, Yuan Shi let go.
As if coming back to his senses, Yuan Shi seemed to be a different person, gently took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears for Shen Yan, and gently comforted him.
"Yan'er, you are too kind, this will only harm yourself, do you think that if you let go of silence, silence will let you go?"
Yuan Shi held Shen Yan in his arms and comforted him softly, but his mouth was like a spell, corroding Shen Yan's heart sentence by sentence, guiding Shen Yan to also be full of hatred for Shen Mo, the kind of hatred that was put to death.
"Understand, child, there is a kind of self-protection that is to destroy the enemy, so that you can live a stable life."
Shen Yan nodded obediently and leaned into Yuan's arms.
"Good boy, tomorrow is the end of everything, and we can live our good life with peace of mind."
Yuan had a vicious plan in her heart, this time she wanted to completely get rid of the stumbling block of silence, just like she did when she got rid of her mother.
The first thing the old ghost of Changshan did after coming down the mountain was not to go directly to Shen Mo, but to find his best friend.
In the western suburbs of the capital, there is a dense forest, and the old ghost's best friend lives in it.
"Hahaha, good brother, haven't you seen you a lot, you are still so energetic!"
When the old ghost saw the familiar figure, he laughed out loud, causing the person in front of him to turn around.
As soon as Sun Lian heard this voice, he knew that the old ghost was coming, and immediately put down the wood in his hand.
"You old man, didn't you say that you went to the ends of the earth to wander, how did you wander to my forest?"
Sun Lian led the old ghost into the house, and a burst of fragrance entered his heart, and the steamed bamboo rice was cooked.
"I haven't thought about it yet!"
The old ghost will make excuses, and he is not polite at all.
After eating, the two sat in the courtyard to catch up.
"I'm also worried that you're not in good health, so I specially brought you the hundred-year-old ginseng I found in the Western Regions. 喏–"
The old ghost took out the hundred-year-old ginseng from his arms, he was not stingy with this old brother, the two had a century-old friendship, and they were brothers who had died.
Sun Lian put this ginseng on the tip of his nose and smelled it, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Yes, good ginseng, older than me."
After Sun Lian said this, both of them laughed.
"When I came, did I see that you were making medicine again?"
The old ghost's nose is very sensitive, and as soon as he entered the forest, he smelled the strong smell of medicine, and he was a little puzzled, Sun Lian had quit medicine for a long time, how could he start it again this time.
Thinking that Sun Lian was almost poisoned to death when he developed the poison, if it weren't for the old ghost rushing over, it is estimated that they would not have survived.
"My cousin needs a little medicine, and I'll never do it again after I'm done with her."
Sun Lian said with a hint of helplessness.
"I've never heard of your cousin."
The old ghost has been friends with Sun Lian for nearly a hundred years, and he has never heard of a cousin popping up from him. He has to ask about this, this cousin is too ignorant, not to mention that Sun Lian is already a hundred years old, just say that this poison is so toxic, how can he be cheeky to speak.
"It's a cousin from a distant relative's house, who came over two days ago and begged me to make her medicine once."
Sun Lian also knew that medicine was dangerous, and he almost died of poisoning last time and returned to the West, but this cousin had a little connection with his mother's family, so he couldn't hang up if he refused, so he had to agree.
"What does she want this poison to do, to kill people?"
The old ghost has lived for more than a hundred years, he has never seen anything in the world, and he has never seen any human feelings, and just listening to these two sentences can associate a story of love and hatred.
"Hey, brother, don't ask, I'll do it again one last time, and I'll stop it later."
Sun Lian knew that the old ghost was for his good, but after all, he had already agreed, so what was the matter with repentance.
When the old ghost saw Sun Lian's appearance, he also knew that he was determined to make poison for the last time, so he didn't press him anymore, as long as he could figure it out himself.
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm going down the mountain to find someone."
The old ghost closed his eyes and stared, and spit out a sentence in his mouth.
"Do you have a crush on a woman? Hahaha"
Although Sun Lian is old, he still likes to joke. knows that this old ghost treats him like a brother, so he has no scruples.
"Don't be serious, this is a serious matter, about the Changshan faction, if it can be brought to Changshan, it will definitely rewrite the fate of the Changshan faction."
Hearing the old ghost say this, Sun Lian sat up all of a sudden, it was about the Changshan faction, and he couldn't ignore it.
Sun Lian is also the pioneer of the Changshan faction, because he was dissatisfied with some decisions of the old boss and left Changshan, although he left Changshan, but he has always paid attention to the dynamics of Changshan and the development of the Changshan faction.
Now that he heard that the woman the old ghost was looking for was a key weapon that could rewrite the fate of the Changshan faction, Sun Lian suddenly came to his senses.
"But I don't have a word about it, and people may be willing to go to Changshan with me."
The old ghost's biggest concern is also this, whether Shen Mo can go back to Changshan with him is still a matter, let alone rewrite his fate now.
"But old ghost, you're a little excited right now. Tell me what's so amazing about this woman? ”
Sun Lian asked curiously, his face was about to be pasted, and he was suddenly pushed away by the old ghost.
"I can't tell you!"
The old ghost stroked his white beard, thinking that his acquaintance with Shen Mo was a particularly unbelievable thing to say.
I think that when the old ghost came out of Changshan and decided to go to the first line of Tianhai to play, I heard that heroes from all walks of life said that they could meet the gods there, and they could live forever by drinking the water rewarded by the gods.
Naturally, the young old ghost didn't believe this, and sneered at the people who spread the news, but as he got older and older, his nostalgia for the world became deeper and deeper, and he naturally became more and more afraid of death.
So the old ghost decided to go to this legendary Tianhai line to have a look, and when he finally found this Tianhai line that people yearn for, he found that this is an ordinary cliff, and it seems to be connected with the sea level from a distance, so it is named Tianhai line.
The old ghost who returned disappointed suddenly lost his interest, and drank sullenly with a wine gourd.
As a result, I was dizzy and carelessly stepped on the slippery stone, and fell to the bottom of the cliff at once, but I didn't expect to find a paradise without anything.
In this paradise, the old ghost thought he was dreaming, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and found that all this was reality after seeing it clearly.
The old ghost groped forward along a ray of light, and was walking in the depths of the light source There was a terrible cry, and the frightened old ghost was startled, could it be that there are people living in this place?
The old ghost, who couldn't resist his curiosity, decided to go up and check, but found a woman, who turned her head after hearing the voice of the old ghost with teary eyes, and was stunned for a moment.
Dressed in a phoenix crown, with exquisite makeup, and a flower and moon appearance, people can't take their eyes off it.
"Who are you?"
The old ghost didn't know if it was because he drank alcohol at the time, so he asked directly.
"This palace is the queen of Shuxia Kingdom."
The woman's words were still full of tears, and her expression was serious and sad, not as if she was lying.
The old ghost panicked all of a sudden, he patted his face vigorously to make himself more sober, and then looked at the woman in front of him, it was indeed real!
But she said that she was the queen of Shuxia Kingdom, what is going on, the current emperor is in his youth, and he has not yet been elected, how can he say that he is the queen of Shuxia Kingdom?
Could it be that this woman has a problem with her head and imagines that she is the queen of Shuxia Kingdom?
It's not impossible, the old ghost relaxed a little, and planned to ask her again, after all, although the environment here is beautiful, but there is no food except for stones and water, so naturally she will not live long.
"You're the queen, how come you're in this place?"
The old ghost took a step back, he wasn't sure whether the woman on the other side was a human or a ghost, and he should take all precautions.
After the woman heard the old ghost's words, tears fell in strings, and she was heartbroken, as if the old ghost had touched her sadness.
"Don't cry, just say something, maybe I can help you."
The old ghost saw that the woman was crying more and more, and he was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
The woman still didn't speak, just tears were shedding vigorously, and there were already a large tear stains on the hem of her skirt.
The old ghost had never seen such a situation in a hundred years of life, and he was still unsure if he was alive or had fallen off a cliff and died.
"I was persecuted by my own sister... Skinned by stepmom cramps... The spiritual roots have all been destroyed, and my heart hurts..."
The woman said this intermittently, her face bitter and grief-stricken.
When the old ghost heard this, he immediately determined that the woman in front of him was not a living person, but a ghost who remained in the world, but he still instantly sympathized with this woman in his heart, no matter whether she was a human or a ghost, her life experience was so miserable.
"I hate it... I shouldn't have left the Shen family in the first place, if I had just been the eldest lady of the Shen family with peace of mind, I wouldn't have ended up like this..."
The Shen family? The old ghost didn't know which Shen family the woman was talking about, it seemed that this woman was too resentful, and her soul would remain in the world.
"Why, why do they do this to me... I'm so obedient..."
The woman complained over and over again, and the old ghost suddenly had a sense of justice, thinking of avenging the woman.
"In the next life, I must not let them all die well... I worked hard to cultivate the spiritual root, but I didn't expect to kill myself..."
The woman's face was ruthless, and then she covered her face and cried as if she had broken her skills, looking at her appearance, the old ghost thought to himself that this woman was still kind in her heart, and she couldn't make up her mind to take revenge after she was killed.
"Don't be sad, where is your home, I'll go burn some paper for you, so as to comfort your soul in the sky, let go and leave quickly, this world is too painful, you go find a good family and live a happy life."
Hearing the spiritual root, the old ghost carefully observed the woman, because of the distance, it was not clear to see, but he could also feel that the aura on her body was extraordinary, it may be that she had not been dead for a long time, so these aura were still retained.
It's a pity, if you are still alive, you must have cultivated to the ten spirits, the old ghost keeps regretting, such a talent is rare, I don't know how to comfort her, I can only persuade without a word.
"If you can, I hope you can go to my house and help me find a jade bracelet, this bracelet is a relic left to me by my mother, and it is placed in the cabinet of my mother's main house."
The woman pleaded and stared at the old ghost, at this time she was most concerned about the jade bracelet, and she could only feel at ease if she took it away, and she could also make the mother in the sky recognize it at once.
"Okay, you say."
The old ghost really doesn't want to bear a soul, since it is fate to meet, and he is very sympathetic to her life experience, maybe he helped her get the jade bracelet, and she can leave with peace of mind.
"The Shen family in the capital is named Shen Mo."
After the woman finished speaking, it was as if she had fainted, and the light hit her more and more dazzlingly, until the old ghost could not see anything, and when the light was weak, the woman disappeared.
The passage in front of him was open, and it was not the same as just now, and the old ghost felt that he had really encountered something rare.
I don't dare to stay any longer, after all, this is a place with a lot of resentment, and if I stay any longer, something may happen.
Leaving the Tianhai line, the old ghost remembered what the woman said, and didn't want to disappoint the woman, so the old ghost decided to go to the Shen Mansion.
Shen Li is a fourth-grade official who serves in the court, so this Shen Mansion is also easy to find.
"Old man, what are you looking at!"
The family at the gate of the Shen Mansion saw an old man with white hair and white beard staring at the Shen family's mansion all the time, and he didn't leave.
"May I ask the eldest lady here to be silent..."
The old ghost just wanted to ask, but he was suddenly pushed away by the family, and it seemed that he was going to greet someone.
The old ghost who was driven to the wall quietly observed, wondering how this Shen Mansion was the same as not dead, it was said that the eldest daughter of the Shen family should hang a white strip when she died, how could she not dress up anything.
"Mother, you said that we attended the 50th birthday of Mrs. Huang today, it is really embarrassing to be silent."
A young woman chuckled with her mouth covered, her eyes sneering.
"I've been married into the Shen Mansion for ten years, and Mrs. Huang still looks down on me, it's really shameless, you see her rough skin and thick flesh and a greasy look, hum..."
There was also a middle-aged woman who got off the sedan chair with her, well-maintained, with a bumpy figure and charm, and her words were full of disdain.
The old ghost listened to all this silently, not knowing where the jade bracelet that Shen Mo confessed was.
Just as he was about to leave and come back another day, the old ghost's eyes suddenly lit up and he saw the two people coming on foot, and his mouth opened wide in surprise.
"Miss, they all bullied you, but you are the eldest lady of the Shen family, but the second miss deliberately made a show off in front of you."
A little maid said indignantly, but the woman next to her smiled gently and didn't care.
Miss Shen family, silent? The old ghost remembered that the woman in the cave seemed to say the same thing, so he decided to go over and ask.
"Excuse me, do you know Shen Mo?"
The old ghost was old, so he naturally walked directly to the two little girls and asked.
The little maid suddenly used her arm to block him and the young lady behind her.
"Why are you asking my young lady's name!"
The little girl is sharp and unceremoniously.
The old ghost was stunned, he just saw the girl who looked like a young lady and thought it was the sister of the cave woman, because their eyebrows and eyes were very close, and to be precise, they looked like they were carved out of a mold.
If this young lady is silent, then who is the cave woman? glanced at the sign of the Shen Mansion, yes, this is indeed the Shen Mansion, I didn't look for the wrong place, but this person...
The old ghost was stunned, what the hell is all this about, Shen Mo, the eldest lady of the Shen family, is still alive and well, who is the silence that the cave woman said.
When the old ghost retracted his thoughts and came back to his senses, the two women in front of him had already entered the Shen Mansion.
The old ghost, who was going to figure out what was going on, decided to go back to Changshan for a while and leave when he figured it out.
The old ghost who returned to Changshan meditated all day long, carefully meditated, and studied ancient books to find the truth.
Finally the old ghost found out the truth, the woman in the cave was silent, and the woman he saw at the gate of the Shen Mansion was also silent, both were silent, one was alive and the other was dead, the only thing that could connect the two was that there was no other solution than time reversal.
The old ghost nodded with relief, it seemed that this eldest lady of the Shen family had too much resentment, and because she had a tenth-order spiritual root, she was finally reborn.
Since it is a rebirth, then this spiritual root will naturally still be there, so the old ghost wants his beloved disciple Chen Xiling to go down the mountain to bring Shen Mo up, if he cultivates well to restore the spiritual level and use it for the Changshan faction, then it is not a rebirth for the Changshan faction.
The old ghost kept the matter of finding silence in his heart, because the reversal of life and death is a taboo for reincarnation, and easy talk about it will bring irreversible destruction to the reborn.
The old ghost decided to make a fortune on his own, as long as he could get silence, then the rise of the Changshan faction would not be a problem.
Thinking to himself, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Sun Lian looked at the old ghost's imaginative appearance, which was really funny, and he also pouted and laughed. The two old urchins enjoy the time quietly, and the years are quiet.
In the Shen Mansion, Shen Mo has been locked up in the firewood room for a day and a night, and not a drop of water has entered.
"Yan'er, if you want to go out for your mother, you must be optimistic about silence and can't let her escape."
The simplicity of Yuan's dress is not as glamorous as the flowers and branches of the past, and today he specially changed into plain clothes that he usually does not wear.
"Where are you going?"
Shen Yan didn't know where his mother was going, let alone what she was going to do.
"You'll know when I get back, it's your job to be silent."
Yuan's eyes were horizontal, now the timing is right, and it can't be delayed any longer, otherwise it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future.
Don't dare to ask more, Shen Yan nodded obediently, not knowing why she was becoming more and more afraid of her mother now, and decided that she was the same person as before.
Xiaohuan secretly hid in the corner, watching those families guarding the front of the firewood room like two thick doors, and couldn't help frowning, not knowing how the young lady was now.
The little dog who climbed up the tiled house quietly moved to the roof of the firewood house, and gestured to the little one in the corner of the wall, telling her that he was ready.
This is a method that Xiaohuan and the puppy prepared for a day to come up with, just to be able to order food for Shen Mo.
Xiaohuan received the signal of the puppy, sorted out his mood, made himself not nervous, and must succeed for the sake of Miss.
"I'm going to go in to see Miss, don't stop me..."
Xiaohuan walked towards the firewood room and shouted loudly, one to tell the young lady in the firewood room that he had come to see her, and the other to attract the attention of these families.
