Chapter 45: The Storm of Ten Thousand Mansions
On the ancient road, the two horses were galloping at a gallop, one thing Lin Xuan did not lie to the family, they were indeed going to visit Zhou Li's old friend Wan Ming, but it was not because he was ill, but because there was a strange thing in his family recently, Old Man Wan wanted Zhou Li to go over to help, and this became a test for Zhou Li to Lin Xuan.
Wan family is the first family in Ancheng, the old man Wan was a staff member of the Emperor of Daqi when he was young, although he may not really have much strategy, but as long as he is involved with the emperor, it is enough for him to be glorious in his life, and what is even more commendable is that he chose to retreat bravely after becoming famous, and became a businessman.
"Lin Gongzi please" The person in charge of entertaining Lin Xuan is Wan Qifeng, the eldest son of Master Wan, and this kind of treatment can be regarded as giving Zhou Li enough face.
"Mr. Wan, please" The first time Lin Xuan saw Wan Qifeng, he felt that this person was a well-versed and sleek person, and even if he deliberately restrained himself, his eyes still showed a fox-like shrewdness.
"My father is ill and can't come to greet him in person, and I hope that my son won't blame," as soon as he entered the hall, Wan Qifeng entertained Lin Xuan and said apologetically after sitting down.
"Mr. Wan is polite, the family teacher originally wanted to visit his old friend, and he didn't want to be sent down because of the wind and cold a few days ago, and he also wanted Mr. Haihan" Wan Qifeng was smooth Lin Xuan was not inferior to him, and greeted each other politely.
"My father is also sick and rushed to the doctor, recently there have been some strange things in the house, and people have spread that it is a ghost, and for a while people are panicked, which alarmed Mr. Zhou, I'm really sorry," Wan Qifeng said when he talked about ghosts, there seemed to be a dodge in his eyes.
"I don't want to hide it, I just came here for this matter, I don't know if Mr. Wan has told one or two?" Lin Xuan asked Wan Qifeng.
Wan Qifeng hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "Lin Gongzi, don't worry, you are tired all the way, it is better to rest for a night after eating, as for this matter, we will talk about it tomorrow."
"It's okay", seeing Wan Qifeng's flickering words, Lin Xuan couldn't force it, so he could only agree.
After eating, Lin Xuan and Zhou Tong discussed in the room.
"What do you think of this goblin thing?" Zhou Tong asked.
"If there are ghosts and monsters in the world, then why are people who do evil things so fearless?" Lin Xuan smiled disdainfully.
"You don't believe in these things?" Zhou Tong asked.
"I only know that the human heart is sometimes more terrifying than ghosts" Lin Xuan recalled the bits and pieces of Wanfu, and he didn't know why he always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him.
"Do you think there's something wrong with Wan Qifeng?" Zhou Tong actually noticed some things, but he couldn't tell Lin Xuan according to the regulations.
"He definitely knows the cause of these strange things, he just doesn't want to talk to us in detail," Lin Xuan walked at the table, poured a cup of tea, and said after taking a sip, "Tomorrow, we will meet Master Wan first."
"Father is also confused, what did he write to Zhou Li?" A man in the hall who looked like Wan Qifeng complained that this person was Wan Qifeng's second brother Wan Qidao.
"Ignore them for now, has the mage I asked you to find found found it?" Wan Qifeng seemed to be very afraid of the ghosts here, and asked anxiously.
"I found it, I've already sent someone to ask for it to be there tomorrow" Wan Qidao is also very concerned about this matter.
"This matter must not alarm the government, otherwise once the details are known, Wan Jia's reputation will be discredited," Wan Qifeng instructed his younger brother, I don't know why his eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Wan Qidao.
"What about Zhou Li's disciples?" Wan Qidao asked worriedly.
"It's just a stinky kid who can't do anything, it's enough to make up some stories to coax him tomorrow" Wan Qifeng didn't care about Lin Xuan.
"I'm so wronged" Late at night, just after Lin Xuan had just fallen asleep, a resentful voice suddenly came from outside the window.
Lin Xuan was startled, immediately opened his eyes, turned over and took the sword in his hand.
"I'm so wronged" came another creepy voice.
This time, Lin Xuan discerned the direction and directly opened the door and chased out, only to see a red shadow flash in the courtyard.
Lin Xuan was also bold enough to chase after him directly.
After chasing to a forest, the red shadow suddenly disappeared, which made Lin Xuan a little surprised, with his current skills, although he was not first-class, he would definitely not be able to chase a person and make it disappear out of thin air, unless it was really a ghost.
"Ghost" Just as Lin Xuan was thinking, a scream came from the courtyard behind him, and he immediately turned around and returned to the courtyard.
When Lin Xuan came back, he saw a maid trembling in panic, and the people around her looked anxiously, but they couldn't ask why.
"Xiaocui, don't panic and tell what's going on?" Wan Qifeng also came over.
"I see...... I see...... Ghost...... Ghost ......: "This maid named Xiaocui was already frightened, and it was difficult to say a whole sentence.
"What nonsense, where did the ghost come from?" Wan Qifeng was obviously a little afraid of himself, but he still pretended to be angry and angry at Xiaocui.
"I saw it, and she floated there" Xiao Cui shouted loudly when she saw that the eldest master didn't believe her, and pointed to the void in front of her with a trembling right hand.
"She's already dizzy, why don't you help her back?" Under Wan Qifeng's reprimand, everyone had no choice but to carry the trembling little cui away from this courtyard.
"Lin Gongzi, this is?" Wan Qifeng asked when he saw Lin Xuan dressed like this.
Lin Xuan smiled faintly, "I'm bored to go out for a walk late at night", he didn't want to tell Wan Qifeng what he had just done.
"Then the boy should rest early, this Wanfu is really a little uneven," Wan Qifeng said in his words.
"Also, I've always been timid and really afraid of ghosts," Lin Xuan also said something different.
The corners of Wan Qifeng's mouth twitched and said, "It's late at night, let's talk tomorrow." ”
"Then I'll go back to the room first" Lin Xuan walked towards his wing, and suddenly he turned to Wan Qifeng and said, "I will listen to the story of your mansion tomorrow", and then returned to the house.
Wan Qifeng looked at Lin Xuan and was very irritable in his heart, it seemed that Lin Xuan seemed to know something, which affected his future plans, and after thinking for a while, he finally left here.
On the roof, Zhou Tong lay quietly on it looking at the stars, with a thick smile on the corner of his mouth.
After breakfast the next morning, Lin Xuan proposed to Wan Qifeng to visit Master Wan. In this regard, Wan Qifeng did not refuse, and personally led them into a secluded but beautiful place.
The people in the courtyard of the "big master" saluted when they saw Wan Qifeng.
Lin Xuan was a little suspicious, it seemed that Master Wan really had a serious illness.
With a "squeak", Wan Qifeng carefully pushed open the door, this room is excellent in terms of lighting, ventilation and furnishings, and a screen blocks the front of the bed so that it is difficult to see the person on the bed.
"Father, Old Man Zhou has sent his senior disciple to visit you," Wan Qifeng reported inside.
There was a hard babbling sound from inside.
"Lin Gongzi, let's go over?" Wan Qifeng continued to guide.
Lin Xuan bypassed the screen and saw a skinny old man looking at him with wide eyes.
