Chapter 50: Beyond the Four Gates
The corners of An Chen's mouth moved slightly, and he opened his eyes to look for Xiao Qiao's spiritual soul in the room.
"I searched every corner of my room, but I didn't see Xiao Qiao's spiritual soul, it can't be that he was imprisoned!"
"If Xiao Qiao's spiritual soul was still here, the two elders of Yu Mu and Yu Sacrifice would definitely ask her about it just now, but we only think about it now, it will definitely be too late."
"Brother, according to what you said, those two elders must have also discovered that Xiao Qiao's spiritual spirit was missing, and they deliberately didn't mention this matter, could it be that they wanted to test us." The ghost couldn't help but speculate about the intentions of the two elders.
"I think you're thinking too much, since the concubine family asked us to deal with Xiao Qiao's funeral, then they will definitely not interfere, the big family is weak, and everyone has nothing to do with themselves." Sima Yanyan sighed helplessly.
"Since Xiao Qiao's spiritual soul is not there, then let's go and find it, Ling'er, do you remember that Mo Xun once used an inscription to bring the general's soul out of the underworld?" I turned my head to look at the ghost.
"Then we'll go to Mo Xun for help now."
An Chen frowned and pouted, "Since we came to the concubine's house, she may not be able to help us." β
"An Chen is right, Mo Xun will not come to the Elder Concubine Sacrifice, let alone come to help for no reason, there is a person who is more suitable than her."
Sima Yanyan opened her mouth and asked, "You said it was a dream?" β
I looked at her in surprise, "Do you know her well?" β
Sima Yanyan nodded, "The two sisters are equally capable, Meng is usually generous, she will definitely help me." β
"Are you mistaken, she is still generous, it's not bad if you don't count people." Hearing Sima Yanyan praise Han Zimeng, An Chen didn't have a good impression of the concubine sisters, so he immediately refuted.
"Chewing the root of the tongue behind people's backs is really unkind." A clear female voice interjected, and it was really Han Zimeng.
I stepped forward to stop her, "Didn't you see that everyone was hiding far away?" If you come here, you won't be afraid of being blacklisted by the elders of the concubine sacrifice. β
"Hahaha, blacklist, you can figure it out, but I guess the first name on her blacklist is me." Han Zimeng laughed and didn't forget to flatter me.
"Han Zimeng, sometimes I really can't understand you, who do you say you are with?" The ghost asked with a puzzled expression, and made a "tsk" sound when his mouth opened.
Han Zimeng sighed, "I'm just a free person, but you said that I can't go to the underworld to find souls, after all, I don't have a golden inscription on my body." β
"No inscription?" I glanced at her neckline in disbelief.
The ghost also opened its mouth wide, and its face was full of disbelief.
"Wait, what do you mean by that? Mo Xun and you are siblings, she has an inscription on her body, how can you not have it? No kidding. An Chen interrupted our next conversation and walked over to Han Zimeng's side, "Don't mind if we take a look!" β
Han Zimeng pursed his lips and smiled, and pulled down the collar without hesitation, revealing his beautiful collarbone, and there was not a word on his fair skin.
"It's no secret that she doesn't have an inscription on her body, and it's no secret in the concubine's family."
Han Zimeng listened to Sima Yanyan's words, the corners of her mouth showed an arc, she stepped forward and hugged Sima Yanyan, and comforted: "Xiao Qiao's death, I didn't take good care of you, I will never allow this kind of thing to happen a second time." Her eyes were a little fierce, and the hand holding Sima Yanyan gradually clenched into a fist.
"It's been a long time, and you have such a good relationship. It seems that we are redundant, brother, I think we should go! The ghost raised an eyebrow at me and strode out the door.
I know that the ghosts want to know more about the concubine family using the method of agitation.
An Chen stood there with a blank expression, "It's not good just now, just go." He wanted to continue, but was pulled out by the ghost.
"Ghost Ye, your sister is naΓ―ve, and you are also naΓ―ve." Han Zimeng didn't raise his head to carefully observe Xiao Qiao's corpse.
"Since you're going to help, we're going to give you this opportunity to perform."
Han Zimeng asked faintly, "What do you want to know from me?" Why is there no inscription on my body, or is it a contradiction between me and Mo Xun? Or rather, you want to know more about the affairs of the concubine family. "She seems to be able to see through our minds at a glance.
The ghost turned around and walked back, and said stupidly, "Since the Radical Spell is useless to you, then I'll get straight to the point, I'm very curious about what happened to you." β
"You're so greedy." Han Zimeng covered his mouth and chuckled, "My sister and I are only in a competitive relationship, and there is only one position in the head of the concubine family." β
I know that Han Zimeng didn't tell the truth, she said before that she was a free person, and she definitely wouldn't care about the identity of the heir of the concubine family.
"You are a member of the concubine family, what do you say about Xiao Qiao's matter?"
Han Zimeng shrugged, "Why are you still struggling with this issue?" The concubine has already asked the Sima family to bring the corpse back to do the funeral, even if this matter is solved, understand? β
"Dream, I just beg you to give me a hint." Sima Yanyan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, letting the ghost swallow back what he was about to say.
Han Zimeng and Sima Yanyan looked at each other for a long time, and sighed, "Beyond the four gates, there will be gains." β
Looking at the Q&A between the two of them, I felt that Han Zimeng already knew the reason for this incident, and what was strange was Sima Yanyan, she only asked Han Zimeng for a hint, instead of directly asking where Han Zimeng's murderer was?
"Dream, thank you, what you have to do has been done, leave the rest to us!"
Han Zimeng didn't shirk it, nodded, she walked up to me and took my hand, "Ghost Ye, if you help me take care of Yan Yan, I will promise you one thing." β
"Even if you don't say it, I'll help her."
Sima Yanyan looked at me gratefully, and the ghost was a little embarrassed, after all, her actions just now seemed that she was too stingy.
According to the family rules of the concubine family, sleeping during the day and studying at night is completely opposite to our usual schedule. And the reason given by the concubine family is that the spirits usually appear at night, which is simply reversing black and white.
Sima Yanyan asked us all to rest first and recuperate our spirits. In the evening, we will help her take Xiao Qiao's body out, as for Han Zimeng's sentence 'beyond the four gates, there will be gains', so we also have to formulate a meticulous plan to wait for the rabbit."
An Chen and I were assigned to a room, but he couldn't hold on for a long time, and fell asleep as soon as he entered the room. I didn't feel sleepy at all, so I took out the Bafang Compass and released Huang Jiaqi's soul.
I had read in my father's notes how to see through the soul to see what had happened to him, but unfortunately once this method was asked, the soul would be transformed into a fierce spirit, and I didn't dare to use it lightly.
