Chapter 10: The Occult Way

The way the witch demon proved that he grew up was really direct to Wu Ming.

Looking at the girl who was close at hand, she was no longer the child who could press her head with her hand in the past, Wu Ming had mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't dare to show too much on his face: "Does the evil child know the Xuandao?" ”

"Jianghu martial arts, black and white, only warlocks, practice beyond the mortal, is respected as a mystery." The Eight Great Families are the famous existence of Xuandao, most of them are not good at fist and foot kung fu, but they have an innate ability, that is, to punish evil spirits.

Of course, the witch is an alternative.

Her fist and foot kung fu is ranked first in the entire Jianghu martial arts, but it is a pity that the ability to punish evil spirits is so bad that even the internal strength and mental method inherited by the Wu clan cannot be fully operated.

"The reason why warlocks can stand on their own is because they shoulder responsibilities that ordinary people can't bear, and the four simple words actually contain great dangers." Wu Ming seemed to remember some sad memories, his eyes were red, but he didn't see tears rising out: "At first, everyone was just trying to survive, settling down in a chosen place to develop their family business, and collecting benefits from ordinary people who asked for us, and when the Eight Great Families gradually developed, there was no other warlock who could compete with them, so we could only fight among ourselves." ”

"What does this have to do with Madame Ruan? Could she be a member of the Eight Great Families? ”

"No, no, no, she has nothing to do with the Eight Great Families." Wu Ming shook his head and motioned for Wu Xie to calm down: "The Eight Great Families have been fighting for more than ten years, and the other warlocks who were once defeated by us took this opportunity to get together, and now they have developed into a force that we can't ignore. ”

"What force?"

"They claim to be soul hunters, and they are also in the business of killing evil spirits, but they charge less than us, and in the long run, they will definitely cut off all our sources of profit."

"It's just a fight with peers, what is Daddy afraid of? The Eight Great Families have been able to develop to this point not just because of the benefits they have earned from ordinary people. Wu Xie still didn't understand what these things had to do with Ruan Mei, but Wu Ming's faint panic made her a little worried.

"It's really nothing to be afraid of robbing business, it's just that the spirit hunters who appear on the rivers and lakes are all from the Unsullied City, and there are some things we have to guard against."

"Unsullied City?" This term witch is not unfamiliar, in fact, this term is unforgettable for her.

For the Eight Great Families, Unsullied City is a forbidden place among the forbidden lands, and when the Eight Great Families occupy their own land and settle down, Unsullied City is still a dead city, and it is the bottomless pit that the Xuandao Warlock encounters that cannot be completely eliminated, and he will catch the bottomless pit that is thrown into the seal. What is frightening is that this bottomless pit is very accommodating, not only accepting evil spirits that warlocks cannot get rid of, but also accepting all homeless outlaws, and even traitors who are dissatisfied with their family masters, can enjoy peace in the Unsullied City.

Over time, what was once a dead city has become a place of sin.

Wu Xie clearly remembers that the feather arrow that pierced her mother's arm and caused her mother to be infected with the epidemic and died of illness in half a year was engraved with the Innocent City Cast.

"Madame Ruan has something to do with Innocent City?" The witch demon narrowed his eyes, and the murderous aura swirled around him, and the long sword on his waist began to groan.

It didn't seem that he had noticed anything unusual about the witch evil, and Wu Ming sighed: "She is also a victim. ”

"Victims?"

"Her father is indeed a tofu seller at the bottom of the mountain, but before Ruan's father sold tofu, he was a warlock who was keen on killing evil spirits, and he strayed into the Innocent City during a spirit-eradication operation, met a traitor of our clan, and almost harmed other warlocks in the same class, so he decided to wash his hands and become a stall selling tofu at the bottom of the mountain."

"What does this prove?"

"Father Ruan had to sell tofu because of a traitor of our clan, madam, she ......" Wu Ming looked at Wu Xie, and realized again that the girl in front of him had grown up, and it was not something he could fool in a few words, so he had to explain honestly: "She can actually find an ordinary person to marry in peace, but the spirit hunter of Innocent City seems to have discovered the identity of Ruan's father, and in order to keep her safe, Ruan's father made a plan to send her to my room and force me to marry her back." ”

"Emotional daddy is not an ordinary empathy this time, it is calculated." The witch smiled and felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

Wu Ming's face darkened, and he explained a little helplessly: "Your father and I are a man, and a beautiful girl is sent to the door, how can there be any reason to push it out, so ......"

"You're happy to be calculated." The witch came to a conclusion for Wu Ming.

In fact, to put it mildly, Wu Ming is still too affectionate, otherwise Ruan's father would have to calculate, and he would not dare to calculate on his head.

Ruan Mei was embarrassed outside the house, and later her two wedding maids couldn't look at it, so she didn't know what Wu Xie and Wu Ming were talking about in the house, and didn't look at them, so she sneaked forward to help her master light a fire, and simply taught some of the following skills, so that the hot noodles had a chance to be served.

He sat down with Wu Ming left and right, picked up chopsticks and turned over the noodles with clear soup and little water, and Wu Xie took a bite with anticipation.

It was this bite that made the witch completely regret it, and he didn't understand why he had to deal with a poor woman, and he had to let her go down.

Now it's okay, people are aggrieved and bow their heads and serve the noodles to the table, if she pours the noodles because the taste is too bad, people inside and outside the house will think she is unreasonable, although she is used to making trouble, but if she really wants to do it casually, she will still feel guilty.

After thinking about it, Wu Xie didn't find a reason to calm his conscience, seeing that Wu Ming was about to taste Ruan Mei's "masterpiece", before he knew that it was powerful, Wu Xie quickly pulled half of the noodles in his bowl over: "Since Daddy is hungry, let's eat more." ”

"When did you feel so sorry for your father?" Wu Ming was vigilant, and the noodles in his hand instantly became terrifying.

"I used to be ignorant, and I still look at my father Haihan, right...... The Thirteenth Lady has been busy for most of the day, so why don't you sit down and eat together. ”

"But I've only done so much." Still immersed in the panic of cooking, Ruan Mei didn't have time to think about why the witch was suddenly so enthusiastic about her.

After successfully pulling Ruan Mei into the seat, Wu Xie immediately called Ah Da to take the empty bowl over, and generously pulled the remaining half of the bowl of noodles over, and then saw Wu Ming eat the first bite, looked at it with a pale face, and immediately picked up the noodle bowl with only soup left and stepped back, first picked up the last noodle with chopsticks and smiled: "If Daddy is not enough, I still have it." ”

"Woo."

The mouth full of noodles made Wu Ming want to cry without tears.

The abnormality between their father and daughter made Ruan Mei wonder, but she knew very well that the real abnormality was the half bowl of noodles that the witch demon gave her.

Ruan Mei was silent for a long time with chopsticks, and did not rush to catch up like Wu Ming, knowing that something was wrong, but just smiled and asked: "This side is for the eldest lady's birthday, how did it become me and my husband to enjoy it?" ”

"Yes, this is specially ordered for you by Madame." Wu Ming realized that this was an opportunity, and hurriedly pushed the dishes and chopsticks far away, covering his mouth with both hands, with a look of regret.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Mei would throw the question back, Wu Xie twitched the corner of his mouth, and stuffed the last noodle hanging on the chopsticks into his mouth in front of Wu Ming and Ruan Mei: "Oh, the thirteenth lady is fortunate to have done it, and I have already enjoyed it very much." ”

"Evil child."

Wu Ming sighed, Wu Xie misunderstood what he meant, so he had to remind him in a low voice, and some things would just go through the motions: "Daddy, don't you have to watch me finish eating and spit it out in front of everyone." ”

"Ahem, this ......"

Wu Ming turned his gaze to Ruan Mei.

Wu Xie's words just now, the Wu clan disciples and maids waiting outside couldn't hear it, but Ruan Mei heard it clearly, a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face that was stained with stove ash, and the carefully stained red lips opened and closed, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Slave family, it's really not good at cooking." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, although my father has many wives, he still has money for cooks and servants." The witch demon waved his hand and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, she suddenly figured out one thing, if you deal with a person with hostility at the beginning, that person can quickly become your enemy, but if you look at it as a friend, in fact, Ruan Mei is not as bad as she imagined.

Feeling the goodwill of the witch evil, Ruan Mei, who had always been highly vigilant, was stunned for a moment, and had some doubts that the girl standing in front of her was not the eldest lady of the witch clan she knew.

Without a chance to Ruan Mei's surprise, Wu Xie glanced at the noodles on the table, knowing that Wu Ming would definitely not force himself to eat because of his little affection for Ruan Mei, so he beckoned the maid outside in: "Remove the things." ”

"This ...... Madam? The noodles in the bowl didn't move much at all, thinking that it was a witch who didn't give face, Chunhong subconsciously asked her master.

Closing her eyes and shaking her head, Ruan Mei seemed to have lost the sharpness she had when she came: "Let's all go down, let the kitchen send the prepared longevity peaches and boiled meat to the back mountain, and I, the patriarch and the eldest lady will eat here." ”

"Wait, I usually eat with Big Brother and She'er."

"Then prepare two more pairs of dishes and chopsticks." It is rare that Ruan Mei and Wu Xie have backed down, and Wu Ming certainly can't let the war burn again.

As the head of the family, he had already spoken, and Ruan Mei had no reason to look for trouble again, so she waved her hand and let the maid retreat. Ah Da, who heard the witch's call, came in from outside, saw Wu Ming's undisguised smile, and knew that the eldest lady of his family had reconciled with Madame Ruan, and without waiting for the witch evil's command, he turned around and went out and led the witch from the other hut.

Holding the shelf and letting Wu Shi salute according to the rules, Wu Ming beckoned to him and motioned for him to sit by himself: "She'er plans to live in the back mountain all the time?" ”

"No, no?" It was the first time to get so close to his father, Wu Shi was subconsciously nervous, and his words were a little unpleasant.

Wu Ming smiled, didn't mind his nervousness, just said casually: "Your mother is worried about you, if you have time, you should go to Qianshan to see her." ”

"Why don't you let Erniang also come to the back mountain, and when I go down the mountain, the house here can be vacated."

"It's not good." Wu Ming remembered that Wu Xie put all the relics of his deceased mother in the back mountain, if he let the second lady who was worried about everything and only thought about herself come over, I am afraid that she would find a way to take those things for herself.

He can support those ladies, and even connive at them to be powerful in the front mountain, but deep down he still cares more about his deceased wife, and he doesn't want what she left behind to fall into the hands of others.
