Chapter 46: Suspicion
The scene in front of him was something Lin Xuan didn't expect, he didn't know that Wan Ming was already sick like this.
"My father suddenly had a stroke not long ago, and the situation is getting worse and worse, and he can still talk a few days ago, and now he ......," Wan Qifeng said, a little choked up here, and it could be seen that he was really sad rather than hypocritical.
"Master Wan, I will say hello to you on behalf of the family teacher" Since he has arrived here, Lin Xuan has no choice, regardless of whether Wan Ming knows it or not, he can only bite the bullet and ask for peace.
"Eh, ......" was still a babbling sound, but Lin Xuan at least knew that Wan Ming was still conscious.
"Young Master Lin, it's really inconvenient for my father to meet guests," Wan Qifeng said tactfully to Lin Xuan after Lin Xuan saluted.
Lin Xuan knew that he would not get any news if he continued to stay here, so he had to choose to leave.
"Eh, ......" Seeing that Lin Xuan was leaving, Wan Ming let out another babbling sound.
Lin Xuan looked at Wan Qifeng with an inquiring gaze, he really couldn't decipher the meaning in this voice.
"My father is sending my son away," Wan Qifeng explained.
"Master Wan is recuperating, Lin Xuan will retire first" Lin Xuan had no choice but to exit the room, but when he was about to go out, he smelled a faint smell of medicine, although subtle, but it made people wonder.
Lin Xuan has also studied pharmacology over the years, although he is not proficient in it, he also knows some of the doorways inside, it stands to reason that Master Wan's illness should not have this kind of medicinal material, it seems that this Wanfu is indeed not peaceful.
"I wonder if Mr. Wan can tell me what the strange thing happened in your mansion is?" Lin Xuan felt that everything should be inseparable from this matter, and in order to sort it all out, he had to know what was going on here.
"Hey, this matter is a long story," Wan Qifeng didn't seem to be ready to hide it, and finally spoke.
"Actually, many years ago, my father took a concubine"
Lin Xuan smiled slightly, such a thing is really normal for a wealthy family like Wanjia.
"Is it a compulsion?" Lin Xuan was concerned about this question.
"I don't know the specifics, I just know that my father likes this woman very much, it can be said that he is obedient, but this woman is still sad every day with a bitter and bitter face, originally my father thought that as long as he devoted himself to taking care of the woman, he would one day impress her. I don't want to go out once, after my father went out, the woman took advantage of the slack guards in the night and ran out, and the house immediately sent someone to chase after him, but this person was also strong, and he would rather choose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river than come back, and then his father's body deteriorated, and there have been strange things one after another recently, so the people in the house thought that the woman who had turned into a ghost and came to take revenge," Wan Qifeng told everything this time.
Lin Xuan thought back to yesterday's situation, and it was indeed somewhat consistent with what Wan Qifeng said, but he believed that Wan Qifeng's words were still half-truths and half-truths, but which piece of useful information needed to be carefully screened.
"But don't worry, Lin Gongzi, I have already found the Lingtai mage, and I believe that this matter will settle down soon," It seems that Wan Qifeng really believes that there are ghosts and monsters, so he specially invited the mage to come over.
"If Lin Gongzi is willing, I can arrange for someone to take you around this Ancheng, although we are not prosperous here, there are also a few places with unique scenery," Wan Qifeng proposed.
"No need, I'm more interested in mages, to be honest, it's the first time I've seen a practice to exorcise evil spirits in so many years, so I want to take a look" Lin Xuan naturally didn't believe that a Dharma incident could calm the matter, he always felt that there was a pair of hands behind all this.
The incense case, yellow charms, offerings, fire candles and other related items were all prepared, and it could be seen that Wanfu attached great importance to this ritual.
I saw a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe with his eyes closed, trembling all over, muttering something vigorously.
Immediately followed by a set of fixed operations to spread the talisman array, after the whole ritual was completed, the Lingtai mage was indeed very tired and sweating profusely.
"The master has worked hard" Wan Qifeng on the side saw that the Lingtai mage had finished doing it, and immediately commanded people to start packing up their things, and the money bag in his hand was also handed to the Lingtai in a timely manner, and the Lingtai mage was not polite and accepted it directly.
"The ritual has been completed, and at noon tonight, Poor Dao will help you take down this evil ghost," Master Lingtai immediately promised Wan Qifeng after taking the money.
"Then it's bothering the master," Wan Qifeng seemed to pin his hopes on this Lingtai mage.
"You are?" The Lingtai mage looked at Lin Xuan on the side and asked suspiciously.
"This is a guest in the mansion, Lin Gongzi" Wan Qifeng immediately recommended when he saw this.
Lin Xuan also smiled at him and saluted, but who knew that the Lingtai mage ignored him and walked directly to the backyard.
"I'm sorry, these masters are just weird," Wan Qifeng had no choice but to apologize for the faux pas that Master Lingtai had just made.
"Master Wan, I'm a little tired and want to rest," just as Lin Xuan was about to speak, the Lingtai mage shouted again.
"I'll arrange it," Wan Qifeng still valued this Lingtai mage and immediately responded, and then said a faux pas to Lin Xuan and chased after him.
"There's a problem," Lin Xuan muttered as he looked at the two who had left.
"Naturally, there is a problem, when did you suffer such anger," Zhou Tong said with a smile.
"How can a person like Wan Qifeng be deceived by such a trick, unless he wants to use this Jianghu warlock to cover up something" Lin Xuan originally didn't care about this so-called mage, but he didn't know why, he always felt that this Taoist priest was a little strange, although he was sweating profusely just now, but his eyes wandered in the meantime, as if he was looking for something, and Wan Qifeng's caution made him even more puzzling, Lin Xuan felt that he seemed to have caught something at the moment, but after thinking about it, he disappeared again.
"Maybe he just wants Wanfu to settle down, after all, the affairs of Wanfu have now been rumored, and it is the most important thing to be able to stabilize the hearts of the people in the mansion as soon as possible" Zhou Tong also has his own opinion on this matter.
Lin Xuan didn't deny that Zhou Tong's words made sense, but he really couldn't say what seemed to be something going to happen in his heart.
At night, Lin Xuan didn't rest, he had to wait until noon, if that Lingtai mage was really tired, he would definitely show his feet, he urgently needed a breakthrough now to find out the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Just as Lin Xuan was carefully thinking about what had happened in the Ten Thousand Mansions, a dark shadow quickly flashed in front of the window.
"Who?" Lin Xuan picked up his sword and chased out.
Seeing that the black shadow in front of him was about to run away from the backyard, Lin Xuan did not hesitate to take out the sword directly, and a sword qi immediately left a sword mark on the wall.
But the shadow was gone.
Lin Xuan chased after him and didn't find any traces of injury around him, which made him even more puzzled, why didn't there be a trace of blood around this person when he obviously felt that his sword qi had injured this person?
This phenomenon made Lin Xuan think of a possibility.
What Lin Xuan couldn't understand now was why this person appeared in front of his room, he had an ominous feeling.
"Someone, it's dead," I heard a scream from a courtyard not far away.
Lin Xuan knew that his ominous verification had already guessed the identity of the deceased at this moment.
