Su Mo came to another place.

This is a study.

It is full of various types of paintings, including landscape paintings and ladies' pictures, all of which look vivid, as if they are in the scene, just this superb painting skill is enough to make Su Mo amazed and admired, it is simply extraordinary.

According to the news that Su Mo inquired about.

The old man of this Jiang Mansion is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he is also the chief examiner of this imperial examination, and the champion Lang in this imperial examination is named Wang Anxu, and later after being admitted to the top prize, he went to Jiang Mansion to marry the daughter of the old man Jiang as his wife, and this Wang Anxu is very good at painting, and is deeply loved by today's saints, and is now a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

The current Great Xia is similar to the Ming Dynasty that Su Mo knew.

The country is dominated by the cabinet, and if you want to enter the cabinet, you must enter the Hanlin Academy, so there was a very popular saying at that time: "If you are not a jinshi, you will not enter the Hanlin, and if you are not a Hanlin, you will not enter the cabinet."

The Hanlin Yuan is just a five-grade yamen, not as good as a local prefecture-level unit, and even the main activities of the Hanlin officials are only to preside over the daily work of the imperial court, such as engaging in the drafting of edicts, the compilation and revision of historical books, and the lectures of the banquets, etc., which can be described as the Qingshui Yamen, but it is known as the place where the prime minister is located, which shows how awesome Wang Anxu's scholar of the Hanlin Academy is.

"It seems that this should be Wang Anxu's study."

Su Mo glanced at the paintings hanging in the study, and his eyes were particularly appreciative.

It can be seen that the current Jiang Mansion is still in full swing, and even the champion has to join their family, which shows the great power.

After a round in the study.

Su Mo quickly found the source of the yin qi, which was a painting hidden in the cabinet on the left hand side of the desk.

Looking at the scrolled up painting in front of him, Su Mo was a little surprised.

When you reach out and get it.

As soon as the palm touched the painting, my heart was suddenly shocked.

"This touch...... It's not like drawing paper! ”

Su Mo frowned, although he didn't know how to draw, he also knew that the rice paper used for painting was generally used, if it was a little more advanced, it was the sheepskin of the antelope in the sky, or the cowhide of the birth calf, or even the rice paper sprinkled with gold leaf.

But this piece of paper is snow-white and flawless, transparent and exquisite, like clotted fat when touched, like white jade, and it is by no means ordinary paper.

Su Mo slowly took out the piece of paper and spread it out.

It was blank, and it seemed that the owner had not drawn on it, or did not know what to draw on this paper.

Looking at this painting, Su Mo opened his eyes, and soon he could feel the resentment condensed on it, it was simply overwhelming, even greater than Qiu Rong's resentment that had been dead for many years, seeing this scene, Su Mo just guessed what kind of paper this was after a little thought, it turned out to be human skin paper.

Human skin paper is actually not uncommon in Great Xia.

People know the horror of ghosts,

Ghosts know that people are poisonous.

In some small countries in the Western Regions, there are often people who kill young and beautiful women, and then cut off the skin on their bodies to make paper, this kind of human skin paper sales are very good, each one is priceless, if you paint on it can ensure that it is immortal for thousands of years, especially in the picture of a beautiful woman painted on it, the effect is even more lifelike, just like a real person, so it is deeply loved by some dignitaries.

"What a sin!"

Su Mo recited a mantra to dispel the resentment on it, and then returned the skin paper to its original owner.

This human skin paper is a very rare treasure, if you let the ghosts get it, you can walk in broad daylight with this human skin, originally Su Mo planned to take this human skin away and destroy it, but think that he is a monk, and he takes it without telling him to steal it, how can he do such a thing as a monk.

What's more, if you take this piece of human skin.

When the people from Jiang Mansion came back, they found that the thing was gone, if they changed hands and bought another one, wouldn't it be another increase in evil, there was no buying and selling, there was no killing, Su Mo knew this truth very well, so he still put this piece of human skin paper back, and at the same time recited a death spell to overtake the undead on it, so that the resentful spirits on this human skin paper could not turn into ghosts and harm people.

After doing all this.

Su Mo quietly exited the study, and then went to the last place where Yin Qi gathered.

There is the ancestral hall of the Jiang Mansion.

There is also a plaque hanging outside the ancestral hall, which reads the House of Virtue, and the plaque is also covered with the emperor's jade seal, and this ancestral hall is the most important place in the Jiang Mansion, and no one can enter it without the permission of the head of the family on weekdays, but this doesn't matter to Su Mo.

When he swaggered in.

No one could find any trace of him.

Looking around the ancestral hall, there are many rankings of the ancestors of the Jiang Mansion, among which the top one is particularly eye-catching, it is Jiang Yaoxing, the old lady of the Jiang Mansion, and he is also the only person in the Jiang family who has achieved the position of prime minister.

Su Mo glanced at these tablets, and finally fixed on Jiang Yaoxing's tablet.

Because according to the observation of the discerning eye, the source of this yin qi is around this tablet.

Thinking of this, Su Mo stepped forward.

Then he soon found a closed painting behind Jiang Yaoxing's tablet, with a strong resentment rippling on it, which made Su Mo a little speechless: "The people of Jiang Mansion are a little strange, why do they all like to paint?" ”

Spread out the drawing paper.

An easily pretty woman leaps onto the page.

It's just that when Su Mo saw this woman, his eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but shout: "Qiu Rong!" ”

The woman in this painting is exactly the same as Qiu Rong's.

At the same time, Su Mo also found that there was a faint fluctuation of soul power in the painting, and the yin qi in the ancestral hall just now came from this painting, Su Mo finally understood where Qiu Rong's heavenly soul was lost when he saw this, and he actually attached to this painting, thinking of this, he was a little happy in his heart.

Just take this painting back with you.

When the time comes, Qiurong's three souls and seven spirits will gather, and they will naturally know the memories of their lifetime.

And Su Mo can also prescribe the right medicine and find the real reason for Qiu Rong's death.

"Qiu Rong really has something to do with Jiang Mansion."

Su Mo muttered after seeing this painting, and after sweeping his gaze, he quickly found the name of the person who signed the money in the lower right corner of the painting, and now painters like to leave the author's name on it, so Su Mo can easily find out who painted this painting.

"Jiang Yaoxing!"

When he saw this name, Su Mo's eyes narrowed.

It seems that Qiu Rong has a relationship with the old lady of Jiang Mansion, but I don't know what the relationship is.

Think about it.

Between men and women, there is nothing more than grievances and hatreds.

The rest is nothing else.

Without delving into the things inside, Su Mo rolled up the painting and prepared to leave.

The painting on it is Qiu Rong, and he just took it back to the original owner, so it was not stealing, which made Su Mo take the painting away with peace of mind.

With his skills, he came and went without a trace.

The people of the entire Jiang Mansion had no idea that there was a monk who had turned around their mansion today and took away a painting.

………………

When I came, it was a clear sky.

Now when I left, it started to rain heavily.

Su Mo walked on the street, and the pedestrians around him ran to avoid the rain, but he walked without hurrying, the raindrops fell but did not stain his clothes, all of them were bounced off by the brocade robe on his body, and the people around him were very embarrassed by the rain, but he was still calm and indifferent.

When he was halfway there, Su Mo glanced in the direction of the palace.

Just now he seemed to sense that there was a resentment gathering there, could it be that there were monsters making waves?

Just as he was about to go over to take a look, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly came over, and then blocked all the streets near the palace.

"Your Majesty has a decree, today is the birthday of the queen's mother, the whole city is curfew, everyone is not allowed to walk around the streets, all go back."

Those officers and soldiers unceremoniously drove away the crowd of people lingering on the streets, even Su Mo was no exception.

Seeing this, Su Mo retracted his steps and dispelled the idea of going to investigate.

I returned to my quadrangle.

Su Mo soon saw Bai Suzhen Xiaoqing and Qiu Rong Xiaoxie playing leaf play, which was actually an ancient card game.

Seeing Su Mo come back.

All four got up at the same time.

"Master Fahai, you're back." Xiao Xie hurriedly went to the kitchen and brought a cup of hot tea to warm up.

"Thank you!"

Su Mo took the tea and handed the scroll in his hand to Qiu Rong: "I went to Jiang's Mansion once, although I didn't see anyone from Jiang's Mansion, but I found this, I don't know if you have any impression?" ”

Qiu Rong took the scroll.

Then it slowly opens.

Everyone saw that the beauty on this painting was exactly the same as Qiu Rong, which made Xiao Xie exclaim: "Sister Qiu Rong, this painting looks like you!" ”

When he saw this painting, Qiu Rong's eyes first revealed confusion.

But soon he seemed to remember something, and the whole person began to have a severe headache, the three souls and seven spirits of the people are related, and now Qiu Rong's ghost is inside, so the heavenly soul that was originally hidden in the picture scroll seems to feel the breath of the main soul, so it suddenly turned into a wisp of gray gas and drilled into Qiu Rong's body.

Three souls and seven spirits are complete.

Qiu Rong's whole soul began to tremble, and at the same time, many familiar and unfamiliar memories began to flicker in his mind, like a movie, seeing Qiu Rong's painful appearance, the other people's faces were full of worry, especially Xiao Xie was holding Qiu Rong's delicate body, as if he wanted to comfort her.

But soon Qiu Rong's mood stabilized.

This time, she looked at the person in the painting with an inexplicable emotion, especially when she saw the name of the person in the lower right corner of the painting, two lines of tears flowed, and she muttered: "Bright Star ......"

"Sister Qiurong, do you remember something?"

Xiao Xie asked with some surprise, the two female ghosts have been together for decades, and they have long been like sisters, and in Xiao Xie's eyes, Qiu Rong is her eternal family.

Hearing this, Qiu Rong took the scroll and was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "I remembered it all, and I also know how I died." ”

"Qiu Rong, then tell me how you died, and I'll go to avenge you."

Xiaoqing spoke quickly, and hurriedly asked, although she is a snake demon, but these days, several people have come to the capital from Hangzhou City together, and they have naturally formed a deep relationship with each other day and night, and the most important thing is that Xiaoqing has always had a kind heart, and naturally she is also upset about Qiurong's encounter.

"I wasn't killed, I committed suicide."

Qiu Rong muttered, his eyes fell into reminiscence: "Originally, I was the maid of the Jiang Mansion, and the owner of this painting was the young master Jiang Yaoxing of the Jiang Mansion at that time. ”

"So we prepared poisoned wine, and before I died, the young master painted a picture for me, and then I drank the poisoned wine and died, and then a wisp of soul remained on this painting."

Listened to the story told by Qiu Rong.

The others present were extremely sad, but Xiaoqing was a little angry and said: "It's just that Jiang Yaoxing didn't commit suicide, but later became the prime minister of Great Xia. ”

"Master Xiaoqing, what you said is not right, how can you overturn a boatload of people with one rod?"

Su Mo couldn't help but retort, if he hadn't played Fahai and always had to pay attention to the temperament of a high monk, he would definitely have to have a good theory with Xiaoqing about this matter.

Seeing Su Mo speak, Xiaoqing rolled her eyes and couldn't help but shout, "Because you're not a man!" ”

It's a man.

How could it be possible to resist the charm of this girl.

This made Xiaoqing a little depressed, no matter how she tempted and teased the other party, Su Mo was unmoved.

"Yes, sister, you are so stupid, that Jiang Yaoxing saw that his sister was dead, so he was naturally afraid and didn't dare to commit suicide, so you should have let that Jiang Yaoxing drink the poisonous wine first, or the two of them drank the poisonous wine at the same time." Xiao Xie also felt a pity, and he really felt worthless for his sister.

said that the two lovers are happy, and they will be husband and wife in the next life.

As a result, Qiu Rong died, and Jiang Yaoxing actually survived.

Qiu Rong didn't blame Jiang Yaoxing after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Being waited for is better than waiting." ”

Take a deep breath.

Qiu Rong slowly walked up to Su Mo and bowed, "Thank you, Master Fahai, for helping me get my memories back." ”

"You're welcome, that Jiang Yaoxing has been dead for decades, even if you want to take revenge, it is estimated that it will be difficult, now the dust is back to dust, as long as you find your bones again and put them into the ground, then you can be reincarnated." Su Mo said with a smile, and then asked casually: "I don't know if you have any other wishes?" ”

"Qiu Rong wants to ask the master to take me to Jiang Mansion, and I will see Yaoxing's spiritual position first."

Qiu Rong thought for a moment, and finally spoke.

Hearing this, Su Mo did not refuse, it just so happened that he was going to go to Jiang Mansion, after Qiu Rong committed suicide, it must have been the bones disposed of by the people of Jiang Mansion, so he also had to ask the people of Jiang Mansion where Qiu Rong's body was.

………………

Wait until the next day.

Su Mo walked out of the courtyard early, but this time he also brought Qiu Rong alone.

With yesterday's exploration, Su Mo found Jiang Mansion with a clear and familiar path.

Yesterday, Jiang's Mansion was still closed, but today it is wide open.

More than a dozen carriages and horses stopped at the door, and a large group of maids and subordinates kept moving things from Jiang's mansion to the carriage.

Seeing this scene, Su Mo was a little curious.

Walking forward, he was greeted by the same porter he had seen yesterday.

"Master, you're here again?"

The porter recognized Su Mo, so he called out very politely.

Su Mo looked at these carriages and couldn't help asking, "What are you Jiang Mansion doing, are you going to move?" ”

"Yes, but it's not our Jiang Mansion that is moving, but our uncle is moving."

The porter puffed up his chest, and shouted with honor: "Yesterday's birthday of the queen, my aunt specially presented a brilliant picture of fireworks, the fireworks picture is just like the real thing, the original short-lived brilliant fireworks seem to be eternally left on the painting, this gift is deeply loved by the queen's mother, so the emperor Longyan Dayue gave the jade Qiongyuan in the capital to my aunt, and now my aunt is preparing to move in with the young lady." ”

Hearing this, Su Mo felt a little uneasy inexplicably.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered the piece of human skin paper I saw in Jiang's study yesterday, and I always felt like something was going to happen.

However, he came to Jiang Mansion this time for Qiurong's affairs, so he said politely: "Then the troublesome donor will inform Jiang Shilang for me, and say that the host of Jinshan Temple, Fahai, wants to see him." ”

"It turned out to be the host of Jinshan Temple, so I'll report it."

After the gatekeeper heard the words of Jinshan Temple, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, it seems that the people in the capital are well-informed, in the past, Su Mo reported his origin, except for some cultivators, not many people have heard of it at all, but there is a Daxiangguo Temple in the capital, which is one of the four major Zen temples.

It seems that Jinshan Temple still has some tables in the capital.

Soon Su Mo was welcomed into the living room by the subordinates of the Jiang Mansion, and it didn't take long for a man with a beard and a whole face that didn't look angry and arrogant to come over, and the other party hurriedly stepped forward and saluted after seeing Su Mo: "Jiang has seen Master Fahai, I don't know what the host of Jinshan Temple has to do when he comes to my Jiang Mansion?" ”

As a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, Jiang Shilang naturally knows some things that ordinary people don't know.

For example, there are high-ranking people and high-ranking monks in this world.

The Great Xiangguo Temple in the capital is very famous, and its host is a national teacher, and it is above 10,000 people under one person in the Great Xia Dynasty, so along with several other Zen temples are also a little famous, at least Jiang Shilang knows that the four major Zen temples are all there are Taoist monks, so he naturally does not dare to slack off.

"The poor monk is here for the old lady of your mansion this time."

Su Mo pinched the trick in his hand and cast a spirit to send the general, and soon Qiu Rong showed a human form next to him.

Seeing a woman suddenly appear next to Su Mo, Jiang Shilang was suddenly shocked in his heart, especially when he saw the woman's appearance, his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

The picture scroll of Qiu Rong is hidden in the ancestral hall of Jiang Mansion, as the current residence of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Shilang has naturally seen the appearance of the woman in the painting, which is exactly the same as the current Qiu Rong.

Su Mo pointed at Qiu Rong and said, "This young lady's name is Qiu Rong, I don't know if Jiang Shilang can know him?" ”

"You, are you a human or a ghost?"

Jiang Shilang's face changed drastically, and he pointed at Qiu Rong and asked loudly.

Qiu Rong didn't speak, since she came to Jiang Mansion, her whole person was a little dazed, so Su Mo replied on her behalf: "Jiang Shilang, this Miss Qiu Rong was brought over by me from your old mansion in Hangzhou, she has an old relationship with the old lady of your Jiang family, so she has been wandering around Jiang Mansion as a ghost after death, and the poor monk came this time to ask if you know where Miss Qiu Rong's bones are, and the poor road is good for her to be overtaken so that she can be reincarnated." ”

Jiang Shilang's face was cloudy.

After listening to Su Mo's words, he said bluntly: "Old man...... The old man doesn't know anything, and he hasn't seen this Miss Qiurong, master, as the host of Jinshan Temple, you are a high-ranking monk, and now that a ghost has appeared in my Jiang Mansion, shouldn't you kill the demon and eliminate the demon? ”

"Killing demons and demons also has to distinguish between good and bad, this Miss Qiurong has never harmed anyone, how can a poor monk kill her?"

Su Mo shook his head, and continued: "It's your old lady of the Jiang family who is responsible for the family, and your Jiang family is responsible for Miss Qiurong's death, so I also ask Jiang Shilang to tell the poor monk where the bones of Qiu Rong are, otherwise Miss Qiu Rong can't be reincarnated, so she can only stay in Jiang Mansion with the body of a ghost, and when the time comes, turn into a ghost and scare the people in Jiang Shilang's house, and the poor monk doesn't care." ”

This is a naked threat.

If you're not afraid of a female ghost staying in your house every day, then don't talk about it.

Jiang Shilang also seemed to be taken aback, if the female ghost hovered in his house, then it would be okay, he woke up and saw the female ghost lying on his bedside for the first time, thinking about this picture is simply too beautiful, so that his old man's heart is a little unbearable.

So he hesitated for a moment and compromised.

"Miss Qiurong's bones are buried with my old lady."
