Chapter 205: What Will This Monster Do?
Chu Qian was pressed by Chu Huai'an and knelt in the ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion, his father stood beside him with a cold face with a wooden stick, his mother stood in front of the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors with a straight back, staring at him with awe-inspiring eyes, and a little girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood next to him.
Su Li asked people to find Chu Yuexuan's clothes to put on the little girl, the clothes were too big, and the little girl looked more delicate and weak, pitiful and innocent.
"Qian'er, in front of your ancestors and ancestors, say it yourself!"
Su Li said coldly, she was worried that there was something in Chu Qian's room that was not properly arranged, and she wanted to help take a look, but as soon as she entered the house, she heard a banging sound in the closet, and when she opened it, she was a timid little girl.
The little girl was wrapped in the quilt and couldn't move, and under the quilt, she didn't wear anything.
What is this like?
Chu Qian didn't know how to talk about it for a while, although his mother was more receptive than ordinary people, she shouldn't be able to digest the fact that there was a monster at home for a while.
After thinking about it, Chu Qian could only reduce the seriousness of the situation as much as possible.
"Mother, I am innocent with her, I didn't do anything to her."
He has always been steady in his work, and he never tells lies, Su Li nodded: "I believe you when you say this, I only ask you one thing, can you see this girl's body?" ”
“……”
Chu Qian's brows twitched, unable to deny it.
Seeing this situation, Su Li didn't understand anything, and immediately made a decision: "If this thing happens outside, if you want to hide it, I can't control it, but now that the matter is at home, I have to make the decision for this girl!" ”
"Mother......
Chu Qian guessed what Su Li wanted to say, and was about to defend himself, but was bent over by his father's stick.
Su Li was not affected at all, took off a jade jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on the little girl's hand: "It just so happens that you are back, I will find someone to watch the day tomorrow, and let you get married on a certain day!" ”
"Married?"
The little girl who had been silent recounted in surprise, her voice was soft and good, Su Li was about to praise it, but she saw two bright orange ears popping out of the little girl's head, and the two little ears trembled excitedly.
Su Li was surprised, and subconsciously raised her hand and pinched one of her ears.
The fur is fluffy, soft and feels great to the touch.
At the same time, Chu Qian's depressed voice came: "Mother, you can't get married, she's a monster!" ”
“……”
Su Li's hand trembled, and the next moment, her waist tightened, and she was quickly taken a few steps back by Chu Huai'an.
The little girl stood still, not realizing what was happening.
Su Li twisted her fingers, and the touch on her hand just now had not completely dissipated.
Chu Qian just said, this girl ...... Is it a youkai?
Xu is little girl is too cute and harmless, Su Li didn't feel scared at all, and the first thought that popped into her mind was: It turns out that the monster looks like this!
The ancestral hall fell into a dead silence, and for a long time, Su Li broke the silence.
She ...... What is a youkai? ”
Chu Qian couldn't say what kind of monster this little guy was, he was afraid that Su Li would be worried, so he stubbornly said: "She is a cat demon, and her Taoism is not high, and she suddenly transformed today, so she can't take her ears back." ”
As she spoke, the little girl's ears moved again, and she looked at the bracelet on her wrist like a child, and was very curious.
Su Li wanted to get closer and look more closely, but Chu Huaian tightened her waist and shouted, "Don't go over!" ”
Su Li had no choice but to stay in peace, but she still couldn't help but wonder: "Since she is a monster, what kind of spell can she do?" ”
“……”
This asked Chu Qian, he hadn't seen this little guy in his master's monster hunting book, he only knew that she could resolve grievances, but he didn't know that she had other abilities.
Chu Qian didn't speak, Chu Huai'an frowned, and said coldly: "Monsters are harmful, since you know that she is a monster, you should stay away from her, how did you bring her home?" ”
Chu Huai'an looked much more fierce than Chu Qian, the little girl subconsciously moved two steps to Chu Qian's side, her eyes were dripping, as if she was playing some bad idea, Chu Huai'an's eyes lit up, and he lifted the wooden stick and swept it.
Boom!
The little girl's body disappeared suddenly, her dress fell to the ground softly, and only a small bag was arched, and after a while, a hairball arched out of her dress, and her mouth kept shouting: "What a fierce man, bad guy, bad guy!" ”
After shouting, he kicked his legs and went into Chu Qian's arms.
Su Li and Chu Huai'an, two people who are almost a hundred years old combined, have witnessed a big change with their own eyes, and the whole person is not good.
"Chu Huai'an, did you see it just now?"
Su Lina asked sneerly, Chu Huai'an tightened her waist with one hand, and grabbed the wooden stick in her hand with the other: "See." ”
The two of them stared at the hairball in Chu Qian's arms together, and saw that the hairballs exploded all over their bodies, and arched into Chu Qian's arms: "Ahhhh ”
The little guy croaked very loudly, and Chu Qian grabbed its tail and carried it upside down to show Su Li and Chu Huai'an: "Dad, mother, except for the fact that it can speak human words and suddenly becomes human, all it has left to eat." ”
“……”
Su Li and Chu Huai'an also read a lot of hunting books when they were young, and the first time they saw a monster, they also saw such a useless monster, and their inner feelings were a little indescribable.
"Qian'er, you tell your mother the truth, what have you been doing outside in the past five years?"
"I worshipped a teacher."
"And then?"
"Kill a few ghosts."
"......" Su Li held her forehead, her temples jumped suddenly, and she said after a while: "Qian'er, you go back first, let me slow down with your father." ”
"Yes."
Chu Qian got up and left, and when he walked to the door, he was stopped by Chu Huai'an: "Where did you go to worship the teacher?" Who referred you? ”
Chu Qian hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Chu Huai'an's eyes turn cold, he immediately told the truth: "On the day I left Beijing, I had a dream, and in the dream, there was a person who looked very similar to my mother, and he showed me the way to go." ”
As soon as he said this, Chu Huai'an and Su Li immediately thought of Yingjiang.
Ying Jiang's identity is special, and the clansmen are not very human, so she recommended it to Chu Qian's master, and she should have some ability.
Chu Huai'an waved his hand to let Chu Qian leave.
After he left, the ancestral hall quieted down, and Su Li sighed, with deep helplessness and distress in it.
Her worst fears had happened.
No matter how much she disguised, she couldn't hide the fact that the world Chu Qian saw was different from others.
He worshipped the teacher, he can kill ghosts, has the ability to protect himself, and correspondingly, he must also bear a certain amount of responsibility.
Human nature is still ugly, how thrilling should dealing with ghosts be?
Su Li couldn't imagine what Chu Gua would go through, thinking of the terrible injuries on his back, Su Li was even more worried.
"I tried this stinky boy's skills today, he is very good, he can beat me."
Chu Huai'an hugged Su Li's shoulders and whispered softly, he knew what she was worried about.
Su Li relaxed her body and leaned into his arms, and smiled helplessly: "How old are you, and you are still messing with him, and you are not afraid that he will not hurt you lightly?" ”
"He dares!"
Chu Huai'an deliberately straightened his face, making Su Li laugh, and he felt sad when he smiled.
When the child was not around, she was cranky and worried, but now that she is back and knows what he is doing outside, she is even more worried.
But what's the use of worrying, she can't recognize monsters, can't see ghosts and gods, and can't help him at all.
Su Li was worried about Chu Qian, but Chu Huaian thought deeper.
This stinky boy claimed to be killing ghosts outside and didn't come back for five years, why did he suddenly come back now?
Did he provoke some terrible ghost and hide back, or did there be a cow ghost and snake god in this capital, and he stopped by to go home to catch ghosts?
"By the way, what about Yue'er? I heard you took her out, what did you take her to do? ”
“……”
Chu Huai'an didn't expect that Su Li had just experienced so many things, and he could still spare his energy to take care of Chu Yue'an, so he didn't think of a good wording for a while.
Su Li was keenly aware that something was wrong: "Where did she go?" ”
"The Imperial Palace."
Chu Huai'an confessed, Su Li's heart tightened, she didn't allow Chu Yue'an and them to enter the palace on weekdays, why did she suddenly run into the palace?
"You are looking for her in the palace, and she refuses to come back with you?" Su Li guessed the follow-up, Chu Huai'an no longer concealed it, and nodded: "I'll let people watch her, it'll be fine." ”
"Is An Ruolan blocking you from taking her away?"
Su Li instantly thought of this result, and Chu Huaian shook his head: "It's what Your Majesty meant." ”
Su Li pursed her lips and lost her voice, which was the worst outcome for her.
If it was just An Ruolan who wanted Chu Chen to marry Chu Yuean, it would be fine, but if even Chu Lingzhao had this meaning, it would be difficult to do.
Seeing that her brows were getting tighter and tighter, Chu Huai'an raised his hand to smooth her eyebrows: "It's the crown prince's crown ceremony soon, and he left Yue'er in the palace, because he was worried about what would happen." ”
"What's going on?"
Su Li couldn't help but raise her voice and ask rhetorically, seeing that her two daughters were growing up day by day, and the marriage had not yet been settled, her heart hung all day long and could not be left behind.
Chu Huai'an knew that she was in an irritable mood, kissed her on the center of her eyebrows, and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't you know what he's worried about?" ”
Chu Huai'an didn't break it, Su Li pursed her lips and thought of Chu Qian.
The crown prince and the crown gift should have been given to Chu Qian.
Chu Qian left Beijing for five years, and chose to return to Beijing at this time, so that Chu Lingzhao knew that he really had to be vigilant.
"Then when is he going to let Yue'er come back?"
There is An Ruolan staring at her in the palace, Su Li is still not at ease, Chu Yue'an is pampered by Chu Huai'an at home, she has never seen the darkness of the world, and she has no defense against people, Su Li is afraid that she will fall for An Ruolan's way.
The walls of this palace are high and profound, and Chu Yue'an's temperament is really not suitable for being detained inside.
"When the crown ceremony is over, I'll go and ask for someone." Chu Huai'an said that Su Li was about to speak, but he pressed his lips: "I promise you, if Yue'er has any mistakes, she will risk her life, and she will seek justice for her!" ”
After having a child, his temperament has been restrained a lot, and now he is ruthless, and the debauchery in his bones has surfaced again, making people believe that he will do what he says.
Hearing him say this, Su Li put her mind at ease and deliberately glared at him with disgust: "Yue'er is because of your father's support, so she will develop a character that is not afraid of heaven and earth." ”
Chu Huai'an hugged Su Li tightly and stole a note of incense on her lips: "I'm not supporting her, I'm supporting you." ”
Because it's a child conceived with her, she loves the house and Wu, and can't bear to let them suffer the slightest harm.
Here Su Li and Chu Huai'an, the warmth of the old husband and wife, and after Chu Qian returned to the room, it was a different situation.
He tied the little guy to the tail and hung it upside down on the bed, his fingertips wiping a little of the remaining prohibition on the wardrobe, which was no longer valid.
"How did you break the ban?"
Chu Qian interrogated the little guy seriously, and the little guy hung there dangling, muttering straight in his mouth: "I don't know, you hurry up and let go of me!" ”
"Don't know?"
Chu Qian's expression became cold, he snapped his fingers, and a faint blue flame appeared on his fingertips, and as soon as the little guy saw the flame, he immediately exploded: "I don't know, you just left for a while, and the door opened by itself!" It was the woman herself who let me out! ”
The fire is extinguished.
Chu Qian lowered his eyes and pondered, this prohibition had been used in other places before, and it was also effective for ordinary people, why was it ineffective for Su Li?
Is it because of the closest relatives?
Before Chu Qian could figure it out, his heart suddenly felt a shock, and the little guy trembled like chaff: "The devil has done evil!" The devil has done evil! ”
Chu Qian sealed the little guy's mouth and pressed it into his arms, walked out of the room, just in time to see the last ray of light sink and the night began......
Chu Qian went directly to Chu Yue'an's courtyard, pushed the door in, and keenly smelled a smell that was almost rotting corpses.
He lit a flame at his fingertips, and the air in the room turned into a dense cobweb, and among the countless fine threads, a black thread was hidden.
Chu Qian followed the black line all the way over, and it was easy to find the puppet at the bottom of Chu Yue'an's makeup box.
The puppet has been re-sewn, and its head is strangely similar to Chu Yue'an's face.
That terrible ghost is possessed!
Chu Qian secretly felt that it was not good, and when he swept his eyes, he saw that there was a puppet in the drawer, and the puppet was wearing half of the mask, as if it was himself.
This puppet was a birthday gift from Su Li on his fifteenth birthday.
After that birthday, he was going to go out to travel alone, Su Li made this for him, so that he could have a companion when he went out, so that he would not be so lonely, but when he was about to leave home, Chu Yuean cried and refused to let him go, so he left the puppet to her.
After five years, this puppet is still the same as new, and it has not shed a little dust, and she still cherishes this puppet very much.
Chu Qian's heart moved slightly, and he put the two puppets into his arms and carried them away.
The dinner was eaten together in the courtyard of the Chu Liu family, because Chu Qian came back, she was in much better spirits, and pulled Chu Qian and Chu Yuexuan to say a lot of things, afraid that she would ask Chu Yue'an, Su Li said Chu Yue'an's affairs in the palace in advance.
Chu Liu's family is old, and he can't think of so many conspiracies, so he just looked at his grandchildren and granddaughters in front of him and sighed, the children are growing up very fast, and they will become adults in a blink of an eye, and they talk about the marriage of the three children.
Chu Yue'an and Chu Yuexuan are all in harmony, and there is an endless stream of people who come to propose marriage, Su Li and Chu Huai'an didn't pick a suitable one, and secondly, they selfishly wanted to keep their two daughters for a longer time, and neither of them had decided on a family affair yet.
Chu Liu also knew in his heart that his two granddaughters would not worry about getting married, and when it came to it, the topic finally fell on Chu Qian.
"Qian'er, you've been out there for so long, have you met any good girls?"
Chu Liu asked tentatively, because Chu Lingzhao had previously decreed that Chu Qian would not be allowed to enter the court as an official, nor would he inherit the title, and he would also want him to wear a mask all year round, although he had the name of the prince of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, he had become a taboo-like existence in Beijing.
Many people want to know why the prince of Xiaoyao is wearing that half of the mask, and why he offended His Majesty today as soon as he was born and was subject to all kinds of restrictions.
After Chu Qian left Beijing, a rumor was once prevalent in Beijing, saying that the prince of Xiaoyao was exiled from Beijing by His Majesty.
This rumor was only spread for a while before Chu Huai'an was put down, but there are still various rumors and speculations in the market, so there are almost no people who have come to say goodbye to Chu Qian over the years.
Chu Liu's family is also arrogant, and he can't look down on the daughters of those small families, so he naturally hopes that Chu Qian can find the girl he likes.
With the financial resources of the Marquis of Xiaoyao's Mansion, this marriage can always be done beautifully.
When Chu Liu mentioned this topic, Su Li's gaze unconsciously aimed into Chu Qian's arms, and she was still thinking about the little girl who was a cat demon.
Although the little girl is a monster, can you look at the monster's body casually? It's also responsible, right?
It's just that I don't know if that monster wants to pick yang and replenish yin, suck people's essence and blood, or something.
Su Li was so engrossed that even Chu Liu's family noticed it, stared at Chu Qian and asked, "Qian'er, what are you hiding in your arms?" ”
As the words fell, a small bright orange head emerged from his arms.
"What a cute kitten!"
Chu Yuexuan held her face and screamed in surprise, reaching out to touch the little guy, Chu Qian quickly stuffed the little guy back with her.
"Kitten?" Chu Liu's eyes were dazzled, and he couldn't see very clearly: "Qian'er, what are you doing with a cat?" As the old saying goes, men don't keep cats and women don't keep dogs, don't keep things randomly! ”
"Grandmother is right, brother, you can raise the kitten for me!"
Chu Yuexuan's eyes sparkled and pleaded, but Su Li stopped her voice: "Xuan'er, don't mess around!" ”
"Mother, but that's so cute."
Chu Yuexuan was coquettish, and Su Li looked serious: "No matter how cute it is, it's your brother!" ”
"Oh."
Chu Yuexuan lowered her head in disappointment, and a thought popped up in her mind: Is there a bright orange cat with hair in this world?
Chu Qian felt that the little guy was very restless, and quickly finished eating and made an excuse to leave.
Back in the room, Chu Qian released the little guy, and the little guy was slumped on his hands softly, sweating all over, and his hair was wet and sticky.
"It's so uncomfortable~"
The little guy muttered quietly, Chu Qian bit his finger and fed it blood, then set a ban on the door, took out the two puppets, and tapped the blood on the eyebrows of the two puppets and himself and the little guy.
After ordering, the scene in front of him instantly turned into a magnificent palace, and a man in a bright yellow four-clawed costume was sitting at the table and writing seriously, piling a stack of folds in his hand.
Chu Qian looked at him and felt that he was a little familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
As he struggled to remember, the door to the palace creaked open.
Chu Yuean walked in with a mahogany tray.
As soon as she entered, half of the room was filled with a dark resentment, and Chu Qian couldn't see her face clearly at all, only in a sense of resentment, he saw the jade bowl on the tray containing scarlet liquid.
Poisonous!
Chu Qian chuckled in his heart and threw the little guy out, and after the little guy landed, he immediately opened his mouth and sucked in the resentment.
"Brother Prince, you've been busy all day, drink some ginseng tea."
Chu Yue'an said softly, Chu Qian walked up to her and made a Buddha seal with his hand.
He is only in a soul state now, Chu Yuean can't see him, but the powerful ghost in her body can look at him.
"Get out of here!"
The powerful ghost roared angrily, and was very annoyed by Cheng Yanjin, who suddenly ran out.
Chu Qian didn't move, and pushed out the Buddha seal.
There was a faint golden light spreading in the palm of his hand, but as soon as he pushed it out an inch, he felt a very strong resistance, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in from outside.
The palace people were startled, and hurriedly went to close the door, and Chu Qian saw that what came with the wind was countless resentments that were as dark as a storm.
There is a resentment that is even stronger than a mass grave, and I don't know how many people will have to die to accumulate so much resentment here.
That resentment collided, like a heavy hammer, easily shattering Chu Qian's freshly formed Buddha seal, and Chu Qian felt that his soul was violently torn at that moment, as if it was about to tear him to pieces.
The next moment, an orange light shrouded him, steadily withstanding the impact of those resentments.
"Get out of here!"
Countless people roared, speaking for the powerful ghost in Chu Yue'an's body, but they couldn't break through the orange light mask, and Chu Qian was helpless.
In the soul state, the power of Chu Qian's spell was greatly reduced, and he couldn't use his own strength to drive that powerful ghost out of Chu Yue'an's body now.
"Let's put it there first, and I'll drink it later."
Chu Chen's clear voice came, and Chu Qian turned his head suddenly, and in the midst of a resentment, he saw a trace of pale golden imperial qi emanating from Chu Chen's body.
The king, the master of life and death of tens of millions of people, even the ghosts and gods must be afraid of three points.
Chu Qian raised his hand to put the emperor's qi into his hand, and used this qi to re-seal the Buddha seal and launch it.
This imperial qi can't increase the power of the Buddha seal a lot, but those resentful qi all fledged after encountering the emperor's qi.
The people who die here, even if they become ghosts, are still afraid of the Ninety-Five.
The Buddha seal was pushed out of the light mask, and it gradually became thinner by the resentment, and when there was still a little afterimage left, it finally disappeared into Chu Yue'an's eyebrows.
After the Buddha seal was submerged, the resentment of the full hall soaked into her body and became lighter.
Chu Yue'an put the tray on the table, and the light mask around Chu Qian's body disappeared, leaving only the little guy with a belly twice as large at his feet.
Chu Qian picked it up and walked to Chu Yue'an's side, chanting the purification spell and stirring it twice in the bowl, and the scarlet in the bowl dispersed.
After doing all this, Chu Qian was about to leave, but the powerful ghost in Chu Yue'an's body was unwilling to be suppressed, and roared loudly: "If my good deeds are ruined, none of you are allowed to leave!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Qian obviously felt that the air pressure fluctuations around her had become abnormal, and the resentment that had just escaped had gathered again, and instead of entering the hall directly, she was densely crowded outside the hall, turning this place into a prison.
Those bitter cries and screams, and their voices are so sharp that they want to shatter his eardrums.
Chu Qian felt a little tightness in his chest, because the resentment around him was too strong, and it had already oppressed his own soul.
This situation is not good, he needs to get out of here as soon as possible!
