Chapter 35: The Purpose of the Concubine's Family
We just stood silently, and I was thinking about how to ask questions.
"You must be curious, who am I? Why do you know your name, right? The woman in front of me didn't hide it, and asked me straight to the point.
"I'm curious, but I'm clear about the purpose of coming here, to get rid of the phantom before she can harm people everywhere."
"Do you know why you're here? Why did they give you the Octagon Compass? As she spoke, she turned around suddenly, her watery eyes sparkled, and she herself was a little more vivid than the person in the illusion mirror.
"It's because I don't know, that's why I came to find the answer, and if it's convenient, ask the girl to tell me." Talking to her, I feel like I'm becoming literate.
"Since ancient times, those who have obtained the eight-sided compass can know the affairs of the world, and those who enter the eight-sided magic mirror can know the future." She furrowed her eyebrows and asked, "Have you ever heard of this?" ”
If the Octagon Compass had been handed down since ancient times, it should have been there a long time ago, and looking at her dress, there should have been a thousand years if not a hundred years.
I shook my head, "I haven't heard of it." ”
"I didn't want to worry about the aftermath, but you became their guide. When you accidentally broke into the Octagon Magic Mirror, for the sake of you and my kindred, I will give you some hints to take more precautions. But I am disappointed that you believe their words. There was a mist in her eyes, and it made me feel a little guilty of it.
It occurred to me that the illusion was primarily a hallucinator, and that perhaps everything I had seen was fake, and that she was only saying this to gain my sympathy, or to make me feel guilty.
"I'm suspicious of anyone, I'm here just to find an answer, whether the phantom was good or bad before, as long as she has evil thoughts in her heart, I'll destroy her. If you want to use beauty tricks on me, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. "I showed her my determination to deal with the wraith. Even if she says it's my people, I won't believe her without proof.
"People are quite upright, and they are worthy of ghosts. Now I'm going to let you see it all. She waved her hand slightly, and the eight mirrors began to appear one after another, all of which seemed to be in a movie, one by one.
It turned out that her name was Ghost Ning, and she was the most talented spirit girl in the history of the Ghost Family, and later a mysterious person passed the inscription gold text to her, giving her the opportunity to study in the Fei family, so that this rare opportunity made her successful, and also imprisoned her for a thousand years.
I frowned and asked in disbelief, "Are you really the ancestor of my ghost clan?" ”
At this time, she had tears in her eyes and nodded slightly.
"Throughout the ages, the so-called criminal law family you are now is the long-disappeared concubine family." She sighed helplessly, "What should come will always come, even in this illusion, you can't escape it." ”
Just as I was pondering the meaning of her words, "boom", the eight-sided magic mirror shattered.
I was in a separate courtyard with the ghost, with a small bridge and flowing water, and the air was exceptionally fresh.
The four of us walked towards us, and I turned my head to make sure that Oni Ning was still around, but she just stood quietly behind me, expressionless, unable to see joy or anger.
"Ghost Ning, we finally met, in the past thousands of years, I think you are so bitter!"
The four people in front of me stopped about two meters away from us, and their voices were very pretentious, but I didn't see any of the four of them speak.
"Since you're here, but you're hiding from me, I'm afraid you don't have the face to see me!" Oni Ning reached out and waved her sleeves, pulling me behind her.
The four people in front of her, one looked old, full of white hair, she looked nearly 100 years old, and she was afraid that she would not have a few days to live. There were two people supporting her, one was a woman with an elegant temperament who was nearly half a hundred years old, and the other was a sweet-looking girl in her early twenties. The person next to the girl was dressed very well-behaved, and for a while I couldn't tell whether it was Han Zimeng or Mo Xun.
The people who came were all women, and they really responded to Mo Xun's words that their family passed on women but not men.
"You're still so unpleasant, no wonder Ruichen chose me." As they spoke, a woman in a bright red brocade robe suddenly appeared in front of the four of them.
I looked at her with a frown, "Who are you?" How did it end up here? ”
"Who am I?" The red-clothed woman at the head pursed her lips, "There is no politeness to the seniors, and the descendants of the ghost clan are so uneducated?" ”
Ghost Ning stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled in a low voice, "Fei Xin, you haven't changed your temper for so many years, you think I don't know what happened to you when you persecuted Ruichen, if it wasn't for him to die for me, why would you refuse to leave the world for thousands of years, and would rather degenerate into a resentful spirit." ”
Seeing that she was being sarcastic, Yu Xin flicked the hem of her clothes and scolded angrily: "Ghost Ning, do you think that if you hide here for a thousand years, you can act as if nothing happened?" The elders locked you in the Octagon Compass, but you didn't repent, and privately set up the Octagon Magic Mirror to divinate for others, and released rumors for the world's resentful spirit masters and spirit girls to fight. Is this your morality? ”
"The so-called message is just from the people who came in, or do you really think that you can trap me for a thousand years with the Bafang Compass." Ghost Ning snorted coldly, and said: "I feel guilty because I killed your brother by mistake, and I am willing to become a phantom spirit, and I choose the Lord to support me, don't think that you don't know what you do on weekdays." ”
"Ghost Ning, I wouldn't believe that you would stay here for a thousand years for my brother? If you want it, the world will be in chaos. ”
"Yu Xin, you went to great lengths to let my descendants find me, is this just to say this?"
The woman in red smiled evilly, "I waited a thousand years just to see how your soul flew away. ”
"Yu Xin, you die without repentance, I won't tolerate it anymore." Ghost Ning turned his head to look at the old man who was in Longzhong: "Junior, there is an inscription on the body of the Ghost Ye, I hope that you can be well taught when you enter your family in the future." ”
"Senior Ning, please rest assured, the agreement between the eight major families will not change. In recent years, the resentful spirits are ready to move, and today the descendants of our clan came to ask the prophecy of the resentful spirits of the predecessors of Ning, and also asked the seniors to tell the truth. After the old man finished speaking, with the help of the two people next to him, he knelt down towards the ghost, and the three people next to her also knelt down and saluted.
This makes me a little incomprehensible, since there is a grudge, I will bow down, which is really incomprehensible.
"With Yu Xin here, do you still need me?"
"Ghost Ning, don't be embarrassed, as long as you are willing to do things for the concubine family, I will let you out in the name of the elder of the concubine family."
Ghost Ning raised his head and laughed: "Fei Xin, if this eight-way compass is not led by Ghost Ye, do you think you can come in?" I won't do anything for the concubine. ”
I've been watching her expression change, and now I'm sure she's Mo Xun. Ever since I saw the Bafang Compass in Tianjin Church, I have been calculated by Mo Xun.
And the reason why the concubine family made up a story of phantom murder is to use me to enter this eight-way compass and see the ghost condensation, so as to spy on the heavens.
