Chapter 64: Impregnable

As mentioned above, the furnishings in this room give people an extraordinary feeling.

shows that they do not belong to the above types of people.

Mu Ziqi also knew that the ancients had many rules for hospitality. The main hall is used to worship guests, and the guest and host sit on the Taishi chair with their feet down, not to cross their feet, not to recline, and to sit upright. Even the guests are served tea to see, and the subordinate or unfamiliar visitors see the host holding the tea bowl and tell the guests that it is time to leave, and the so-called "see the tea to send the guests" is also.

Mu Ziqi was thinking about these things, when he suddenly saw a door curtain on the side move, and then a person with a tea tray came out.

He was dressed in a miserable green robe, his hair was tied up with bamboo hairpins, and his body smelled of blue musk wood. The hairstyle is like the evening clouds on the horizon, and the glass is green in the light sky. The young man's face is like a peach apricot, the posture is leisurely and elegant, the remaining lonely and thin snow frost posture, the young man's pupils are smart, and the crystal beads are as attractive.

Mu Ziqi felt very puzzled, generally speaking, people like this have maids to serve, and the people who come out to deliver tea and pour water are none other than women.

And what's going on in their house, there is a male "waiter" who comes out?

Seeing Mu Ziqi's puzzled face.

Xia Zining introduced to him: "This is the brother of the slave maid, the little slave is two years old, and it is him who leads the guest officer here today." ”

"What?" Mu Ziqi couldn't believe his ears.

He opened his mouth wide and looked at Xia Zining again, wanting to verify whether what he said was false.

Xia Zining nodded affirmatively.

Mu Ziqi looked at her brother carefully, and she couldn't see any resemblance to that ghost-like person anywhere in her body.

Not only that, but under his gaze, the younger brother looked very twisted and cramped, just like a rural villager.

Mu Ziqi turned around to look at Xia Zining again, only to feel that the two sisters and brothers not only had similar faces, but even the temperament between the eyebrows was extremely similar, and her younger brother would be the second Xia Zining if he changed into women's clothes, standing together, like a pair of twins!

Xia Zining was a little embarrassed by Mu Ziqi, and said to him: "Don't be puzzled by the guest officer, I blame my brother for talking about this matter in detail, he has learned some spells from a Taoist in the mountain since he was a child, such as the blinding method, stealth technique, transformation technique, etc., it is difficult to describe them all."

"This time, he used his brains to invite you here, and discussed it with me, and I agreed, but I never thought that he would take that way, and as soon as he returned, he was severely reprimanded by me.

He defended himself by saying that it was only because he felt that this was the only way to invite the guest officer to my house quickly and smoothly, and when I thought about it, what my brother said was not unreasonable, and if he bluntly invited people to this remote place, it would be difficult to get his wish.

"But here, I still have to apologize to the guest officer, there are disturbing and frightening places, I hope you will forgive me."

When Mu Ziqi heard it, you said it well, where is this please, it is clearly a kind of hijacking, and a sense of resentment could not help but rise in his heart, however, in the face of such a handsome and chic, flower-like pair of sisters and brothers, coupled with Xia Zining's euphemistic and gentle explanation, the evil breath disappeared unconsciously without a trace.

Then I felt very curious, what was going on with them, why did Xia Zining show that sad look just when they talked about their parents, was there anything unspeakable in it?

Since they said they invited me here, what purpose did they want to invite a stranger they didn't know?

Besides, looking at it like this, the sister and brother have lived here for more than a year or two, as if they are already old residents here, and it is not rare to find an acquaintance to chat with or be a guest.

Why do you have to go through some trouble to kidnap me so far?

When you think about it this way, there must be some mystery in it.

This immediately aroused Mu Ziqi's strong curiosity, and he looked around at this magnificent mansion again, thinking to himself, if only this pair of young people, I am afraid it would be difficult to achieve such a magnificent cause, that is to say, their parents must be a squire with a prominent status, a lot of wealth, a wealthy side, or even a relative of the emperor.

Seeing Mu Ziqi's puzzled face, Xia Zining smiled, but he was not in a hurry to explain anything to Mu Ziqi, just asked his younger brother to put the tea on the table, and then let him leave.

She sat down on the other side of the table and drank with Mu Ziqi.

Mu Ziqi was a little puzzled, according to ancient customs, women were not allowed to serve on the table, and this meeting should be entertained by his younger brother, although he was a little too young.

Xia Zining saw Mu Ziqi's thoughts and said to him: "The guest officer must be confused that my family doesn't pay much attention to etiquette? ”

Mu Ziqi thought to himself: It seems that you are not a confused woman.

But he had no words.

Xia Zining smiled slightly, and said to Mu Ziqi: "My brother is wooden by nature, and he stutters in a dull voice, so it is difficult to be competent for chatting with guests, so I will deal with all major and minor affairs, and the exchange of courtesies and gifts will be dealt with by me." ”

When Mu Ziqi heard this, he was even more surprised: he can also be wooden by nature, and he can also stutter in a dull voice? Just look at the time when he encountered it on the mountain road, I couldn't believe it when he was killed, he was simply a complete devil and demon at that time!

Even if he changes, it makes sense that he has to stick to his true image.

Faintly, he began to doubt the authenticity of Xia Zining's words in front of him.

Xia Zining could see Mu Ziqi's thoughts, but she still didn't mean to explain, and the conversation turned around and talked about her parents.

When Mu Ziqi heard this, he put Fang Cai's doubts behind him, and listened to her carefully, because there were too many mysteries in this family, and he was very eager to find out.

Xia Zining picked up the teacup, gave way to Mu Ziqi, took a sip, the expression on his face began to be solemn, his mouth opened, and he just wanted to say something, but unexpectedly, a gray animal suddenly came in outside, and before Mu Ziqi could see it clearly, the animal was like an arrow, "whoosh", and drilled into the back room!

Mu Ziqi saw that Xia Zining didn't seem to be disturbed by anyone in this regard, as if this thing belonged to the commonplace kind, and after a while, her younger brother ran in from outside and asked her sister in a panic: "Where did it go?" “

Xia Zining pointed to the back room calmly, and his younger brother ran in, and after a while, he came out again, carrying the animal in his hand, Mu Ziqi looked at it, it turned out to be a rabbit, and it was strange to say that the rabbit did not move in his brother's hands, just like a dead rabbit.

Mu Ziqi felt very strange, how fast the rabbit was running, how could it be killed in an instant, but after a closer look, he found that the rabbit's eyes were still blinking, indicating that it was still alive, so why didn't it move?

When he got to the door, as soon as his brother let go, the rabbit escaped into the garden outside.

Mu Ziqi was deeply surprised, and thought to himself, these two people are really not ordinary people.

The younger brother threw down his hand casually, smiled shyly at Mu Ziqi, and went out.

Xia Zining's voice was extremely low:

Zining's parents are important ministers of the contemporary imperial court, and officials are first-class scholars, and when you witness this huge industry of my family, you will definitely think that this is a family with a prominent status.

Your guess is right, when my parents were alive, my family was full of money and rice was rotten.

They won the favor of the emperor and gave them thousands of acres of fertile land and hundreds of acres of mulberry elms, so they built a mansion here.

One day three years ago, when my parents were traveling, they suddenly met a person on the road, and the person looked them up and down and muttered for a moment.

When she saw this person, her mother was very frightened, because she found that there was an ominous look in the Taoist priest's eyes.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, it sent chills down his parents' bodies.

The Taoist said: "Don't look at the two of you are proud of the spring breeze now, with all due respect, within March, there will be a disaster, and I hope to be careful." ”

When the mother heard this, she became more and more frightened, but the father tried her best to keep the Taoist, begging him to explain it in detail, hoping to give him a way to save him.

The Taoist looked at his mother, and his father understood and asked his mother to step aside, and he walked with the Taoist to the back of a mountain of rocks, and the Taoist spoke: "The first time I saw your wife today, I found that her body was very heavy. ”

"What do you mean by that?" When my father heard this, he felt a chill on his body, "Could it be that she—"

The Taoist shook his head: "I know what you want to ask, so I will say it directly, and her life may not be guaranteed." ”

The father was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Why is this?" ”

The Taoist replied: "I see that his face is pale, and the Yin Hall is gloomy, this is a typical unfortunate face, not only is she about to be in trouble, but it can also involve you, and cause trouble to a son and a daughter in the family." ”

When my father heard this, he thundered like thunder, his legs weakened, and he almost sat on the ground, holding on to the stone, and barely stood firmly.

At this time, my father was already sweating profusely, pondering for a while, and knelt down for the Taoist priest with a "suddenly" sound: "I hope that the master will guide me to the maze in order to find the way to liberation." ”

The Taoist took out the dust from his sleeve, threw it into the air a few times, and said something in his mouth, and then put the dust into his sleeve, straightened his clothes, bent down to clean the ground, knelt down to the west, and kept saying something in his mouth, because the voice was very low, and his father did not hear clearly.

After a while, the Taoist stood up, his expression was grim, and said to his father: "Your wife was a demon in her previous life, she was punished by heaven, and was sent to hell.

However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and although Mrs. Er wants to be good from now on, the demons around her in the past have never given up on her.

"I have been searching for it for many years, but because the walls of the underworld are so strong and impregnable that it is difficult for all ghosts to enter, so although the sky above hell is full of yin qi, it has not been able to get hold of it for a long time.

And now the situation is very dangerous.
