Chapter 43: Xiusha and Naiji
The picture of harmony between people and ghosts in front of me is like such a picture.
It's just that the smile on the corner of Ah Tao's mouth suddenly gradually froze, her brows furrowed slightly, and she stared more and more carefully at these especially obedient and angry ghosts in front of her.
Suddenly, a look of shock suddenly crossed Adao's clear eyes.
These powerful ghosts, who are feared by other ordinary ghosts in the ghost world, have no ghost tattoos on their foreheads, their bodies have not been spelled, and there are no enchantments inside and outside Xiangfu, why are they at the mercy of the envoys in Xiangfu at this moment without complaint?
And they're all tacitly conscious of not using any spells?
Ah Dao's gaze unconsciously cast into the window sash, sitting in front of the chessboard and yawning boredly.
Childe's nobility is so powerful!
Xiangyu, who had just finished yawning again, seemed to sense Ah Dao's gaze, he slowly turned his head and collided with Ah Dao's gaze.
Ah Tao hurriedly bowed in the direction of Xiangyu, and when he looked up again, Xiangyu had already twisted his head and returned his attention to the chess game.
Ah Tao got up, and the tanuki slave had come out at some point, standing beside her and looking at her with a smile.
"Childe wants to call these ghosts to help in Xiangfu during this time, and the little maids in the mansion will be free. ”
The tanuki was briefly explaining to her what was going on.
No wonder I don't see the figure of the little maidservant, so it is.
Ah Tao replied with a smile: "Why don't these ghosts use spells to do chores, isn't it faster?"
Tanuki shook his head: "Childe said that once you use spells, you will spoil the fun, and you need to automatically quit this game." ”
Ah Tao was puzzled: "What game?"
The tanuki thought for a moment and replied uncertainly, "Probably ...... Let's make a game of ghosts.,Every year today.,That's when Childe starts the game.。 ”
Today, April, early summer is approaching.
Looking at Xiangyu's appearance of a little more heartfelt comfort around his body than before, Ah Tao couldn't help but say, "I think that the son should like summer very much, so he will be in such a good mood to call these ghosts." ”
As she said this, the tanuki's eyes swept over the slightly swaying window without a trace, and a corner of a white jade robe was emerging from the corner of the window lattice.
The tanuki retracted his gaze faintly and asked Adao, "Are you here for something?"
Asked by the tanuki slave, Ah Dao suddenly remembered the purpose of coming, and she hurriedly informed the tanuki about the fence hairpin that Luan Chang had investigated in the library of the Ghost Suppression Courtyard.
After hearing this, the tanuki slave's expression was slightly stunned: "Childe is playing a game now, it's inconvenient to disturb, you wait first." ”
After the tanuki finished speaking, he entered the study, and only after Xiangyu finished a game of chess did he report the matter to him.
When Xiangyu first heard this, the hand that went to hold the teacup paused slightly in the air, but there was no change on his face.
He paused before saying, "Is that hairpin real or fake?"
The tanuki thought about it, but before he heard Ah Tao mention whether he had verified the authenticity of the hairpin, he replied, "I haven't told yet." ”
Xiangyu stopped talking.
The tanuki was relieved and leaned over to retreat temporarily.
Ah Tao thought that Xiangyu would summon him, but unexpectedly, after the raccoon slave came out of the study, he only asked her to go back to Lord Luan first.
Ah Tao was puzzled: "Childe...... Won't you summon me for questioning?"
"No, I don't. ”
Ah Tao was a little inexplicably lost.
Seeing this, the tanuki kindly reminded her: "You go first to determine the authenticity of the hairpin, and then come to see the son." ”
Ah Tao suddenly realized: "It's because I didn't handle things well, so I'll investigate it clearly." After saying that, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Ah Dao walked in a hurry, and on the way to the front yard of Xiangfu, he saw Xiangqian, who he hadn't seen for a while.
Like the last time he saw Xiangqian before, he was still dressed as a laborer Tian Weng, still lying in the bamboo forest on the couch made of bamboo, hanging between the two bamboos, but this time he was standing next to him and waiting, not Luo Junxuan's ghost buttocks, but a wild ghost who participated in Xiangyu's summoning game.
Ah Tao was still standing on the bamboo path like last time, peeking at them through the dense bamboo leaves.
The wild grimace had a round face, but the rest of the body was skinny and skinny, and it was in a rickety state.
Xiang Qian had a picky attitude towards the ghost, for a while he thought the water was too hot, for a while he thought the water was cold, for a while he thought that the pastry was too sweet and greasy, and for a while he thought that the walnut had teeth, and he tossed the ghost out of breath, but he had a lot of fun.
Ah Tao smiled helplessly and shook his head, and was about to look away, but the powerful ghost suddenly turned around at this time, and his gaze shot straight at Ah Dao.
The ghost's eyes are hollow and unfocused, but they are like a dark abyss with the power to absorb strange things, and once the mind is unstable, it will be sucked into it, and then it will be skinned and swallowed into its belly with cramps.
Ah Dao's mind suddenly flashed the figure of the fat ghost, thin face, and a crying face he had just met, intertwined with the figure of the ghost in front of him.
The appearance of these two powerful ghosts, one with a light head and a heavy body, and the other with a heavy head and a light body, from the appearance, are very strange to fit each other.
Something that was sealed in the dust in the depths of his memory seemed to loosen slightly, and Ah Tao felt like he had to remember something in a trance......
Be...... Four Powerful Ghosts!
She remembered!
There are four powerful ghosts in the ghost world, they are rich and powerful, and their spells are treacherous.
Murderous, bloody, cunning, tyrannical, they are terrifying beings that terrify the ghosts and some of the most unpopular humans.
These two powerful ghosts are the two of the four powerful ghosts, the Xiusha ghost and the Nai ghost ghost!
At this time, standing on the side of Xiangqian is the Xiusha ghost, this ghost is good at eating, especially swallowing alive people, and because of the food is extremely picky, it is the ghost who loves "ghost flesh fruit" the most.
Ghost flesh fruit, is a hybrid child born of humans and ghosts, non-human and non-ghost, because its flesh is particularly delicious to ghosts, so it has the nickname of "ghost flesh fruit" in the ghost world.
The spell of the Xiusha Ghost is also related to "food", and its weapon is its very ordinary-looking mouth, which can become larger and smaller at will, and has the power to devour all things.
And the ghost with a crying face that Ah Tao met just now is the Nai Ghost Ghost.
The magic of the Nai Oni is a shadow technique, and if you only put half of your face into your eyes, you will be scared to death.
These two ghosts act together all year round and never leave each other.
They came to Xiangfu this time to participate in this "game" of Gongzi, but they didn't know what their intentions were.
Ah Tao quickly staggered his eyes that were looking at the Xiusha ghost, and in the afterglow, he saw that the Xiusha ghost also looked away, and his tense heart was slightly relaxed.
When the Cultivator decides to eat something, it keeps staring at it.
The Xiusha ghost also looked away after he looked away, thinking that he had no intention of eating himself.
Ah Tao exhaled deeply and quickened the pace of his departure.
I have to hurry up to Dali Temple to meet Lord Luan......
In an outer courtyard of Dali Temple, the doors and windows are closed, there are guards guarding each fortress, and a big tree with lush leaves stands in the center of the courtyard, covering the sky and the sun, covering the four sides.
Luan Chang and Ah Tao walked into the courtyard from the fan-shaped entrance on one side, breaking the silence.
Luan Chang said with regret on his face: "On the afternoon of the day of the incident, I took someone to Xunfu to investigate the clues, and I also borrowed the white ...... from Miss Xun Er But she told me at the time that after the ceremony, she had privately ordered someone to burn everything that should be used in the ceremony, including the hairpin. ”
Ah Tao was surprised and puzzled: "Why did she do this?"
