In the drizzle, Hu Dingkun stood like that in a white robe, but there was a posture of independence in the world.

But I only hate him.

"Second master, it's not early, please go back." Hu Jianbin stood in front of me and said.

Hu Dingkun smiled at me meaninglessly, and then turned to leave, only to hear his voice: "Miss Meng, if you are really desperate one day, you can come to me." ”

Hu Dingkun didn't entangle, just left, leaving us thoughtful.

"Miss Meng, the second master is scheming, and he can't be trusted." Hu Jianbin hurriedly reminded me.

I actually can't make up my mind, because Hu Dingtang's illness is too sudden, if the reason for the weather is ruled out, then there will definitely be external triggers, and the old house is silent and panicked, if it ...... tonight

Hu Dingtang won't have an accident, right?

"It's broken." I looked at Hu Jianbin and asked, "How many people do you have on the periphery?" How many people can be mobilized immediately? ”

Hu Jianbin was stunned: "What happened?" Miss Meng, don't be deceived by the second master. ”

I waved my hand: "No, you don't care about Hu Dingkun first, just in case, it's best for you two brothers to go separately, one goes to unite the brothers outside as quickly as possible, and the other follows me to inquire about the situation around Mingyang Mountain first." ”

Hu Jianbang was more cautious: "Brother, I'd rather believe it than not, if something really happens to the mansion, it will definitely not be a trivial matter." ”

Hu Jianbin gritted his teeth and said: "Then let's do what Miss Meng said, you go to the contact, and I will find out the news." ”

Hu Jianbang immediately got out of the carriage, and we rushed to Mingyang Mountain, halfway up the mountain, Hu Jianbin asked the coachman to drive the carriage to hide to the side, let me stay in the carriage, I didn't agree: "Let's go together, it's okay, if there is something, we can have a discussion." ”

Hu Jianbin and I went up the mountain in the dark, there is an enchantment around the mansion, we are all our own people now, naturally we are not bound by the enchantment, we arrived within the range of the enchantment, Hu Jianbin summoned the surrounding guards, asked if there was anything abnormal around the mansion, and said that nothing abnormal was found.

Hu Jianbin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Meng, look, it's just a false alarm. ”

I didn't speak, but continued walking, and as I got closer and closer to the mansion complex, I paused abruptly, and then quickly stepped back.

Hu Jianbin was puzzled: "Miss Meng, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Don't you see anything wrong?" I asked.

Hu Jianbin shook his head: "Everything is as usual." ”

"No, everything has changed." I pointed to the red lanterns hanging around the outside of the mansion and asked Hu Jianbin to look at it carefully, "Now, do you see something?" ”

Hu Jianbin looked at it for a while, and then said uncertainly: "It seems that a few lanterns have been extinguished, and there is rain and wind tonight, so I guess they have been blown out, right?" ”

"No, it's not blown out, it's that there was no point in the first place." I said, "If I'm not mistaken, there's a mole in the mansion." ”

"Mole? How can it be? The brothers in the mansion have all been born and died together, and no one can be a traitor. Hu Jianbin didn't want to believe it, "Miss Meng, you must have been frightened and suspicious." ”

I sneered: "Seven stars are extinguished, a hundred ghosts are born, no wonder Hu Dingtang will be sick, this hand and foot are easy to move, and it is difficult to find out if it weren't for Hu Dingkun's reminder, Hu Dingtang would die until he died, and he couldn't figure out how he died." ”

"High, really high!"

"Miss Meng, what are you talking about?" Hu Jianbin was confused.

I looked at him and said very seriously: "Let Hu Jianbang gather the brothers outside, don't enter the mansion for the time being, observe the surrounding dynamics at any time, wait for the news inside, and we will drive back to the mansion." ”

Hu Jianbin didn't understand why I did this, but he knew that at this time, he had to obey me, so he immediately asked the people around him to inform Hu Jianbang, and he returned to the carriage with me and headed towards the mansion together.

I sat in the carriage with one hand on my eyebrows, and my heart was going up and down.

There is a mole in the mansion, and this mole has already become one with everyone, and it is difficult to find out, but he can monitor our every move anytime and anywhere, and he must know what happened when I went out tonight.

Lu Youcai matched me up, so, will they do something to Lu Youcai? Will you embarrass Uncle Zhang?

What awaits us?

For a while, I really didn't know what to do next, and I was even worried that as soon as we entered the mansion, we might be under house arrest.

But after thinking about it, he was relieved, the other party was so hidden, he definitely didn't want to make a big move, he wanted to get rid of Hu Dingtang quietly.

I turned to look at Hu Jianbin and asked, "Did you see which lanterns were extinguished just now?" ”

"There are five on the front and side, I remember them all." Hu Jianbin said.

"There are two more on the back." I carefully told Hu Jianbin the location of the seven extinguished lanterns, so that he could memorize them, and then said, "As soon as the day dawns, all the lanterns will be extinguished, you go in person, don't make a noise, take a good look inside these lanterns, and tell me immediately if you find anything." ”

Hu Jianbin completely understood at this time: "Miss Meng, do you want to gather everyone together after you go back and find out that traitor?" ”

"Don't panic just yet." I stopped, "As you said, there are brothers from top to bottom in the mansion, which means that this traitor has already been raised in the mansion, and if you want to find it out at once, it is difficult, we have to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside." ”

"You mean, the traitor will definitely contact the outside world, and he will do something again, and we will let him show himself?" Hu Jianbin said.

I nodded: "Wait, we have to calm down, I will go out with you brothers tonight, and the other party will definitely try to talk to you, you should be more careful and don't reveal any information to anyone." ”

"I see." Hu Jianbin agreed.

The carriage slowly drove into the mansion, and the housekeeper immediately greeted him, and said eagerly: "Miss Meng, you are back, why have you been there for so long, I am really afraid of ......"

"Didn't I come back, the road was slippery on a rainy day, and the road was delayed for a while." I said.

The housekeeper pointed upstairs and said, "You go to see the third master first, after you left, he slept for a while, and then suddenly had a seizure, and the situation was very bad." ”

"I see." With that, I headed upstairs.

Hu Dingtang's situation was a little worse than I imagined, the whole person was curled up on the bed, gritting his teeth, closing his eyes, his brows were twisted into pimples, and half of his pillow was soaked in cold sweat.

I went in, and all the people who were guarding the room retreated, and I sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and put my arm around Hu Dingtang's shoulder, and the whole person fell on top of him.

When he opened his eyes and saw me, he immediately turned over and took me in his arms, and strangled me with such force that my bones hurt.

"I heard them say you're gone." Like a child, he buried his head in my shoulder socket and whispered.

My heart ached: "Are you afraid that I will run away?" ”

"I hope you run away, and I don't want you to run away, I'm conflicted." Hu Dingtang said truthfully.

I smiled wryly, "Where can I go, I can't just leave you like this." ”

Hu Dingtang just hugged me, didn't speak, the whole person was very tight, just hugged me for a while, my shoulder socket was already wet, it was his cold sweat.

He was very cold, and his clothes were soaked in sweat from the inside out, and I felt distressed: "It hurts, isn't it?" ”

"Someone wants me dead." Hu Dingtang said, "I am mentally prepared, this is the first wave, and there will be more difficult days waiting for me in the future." ”

"Don't be afraid, I'll be with you." I whispered in his ear, "There is a mole in the mansion, we have to slowly let him show his original form, I have got what I want, it can relieve your pain, but the medicine can't be too heavy, we have to give him a chance to continue persecuting you, so as to find a chance to catch him." ”

Hu Dingtang was stunned, I didn't know if I didn't expect to get the extremely cold mandala, or didn't believe that there was a mole in the mansion, but then he nodded: "Listen to you." ”

I asked Hu Dingtang to lean against the head of the bed, then took out his purse, handed it to Hu Dingtang, and said: "I haven't met your father, but from your description, I can infer that his disease is not born, but acquired, and the conditions for the formation of this kind of anti-bone are very complicated, I don't know if he has been to any place with great evil, or some other reason, which has caused the change in his physique." ”

"And this change is so deep in the bone marrow that it is inherited to you, I have no ability to help you remove the toxin, I can only find a way to strengthen your bones, but no matter what you do, it is a symptom rather than a cure, it may only relieve your pain for a few hours, it may be two or three months, and in the long run, this is not a solution."

"You can do as much as you can, don't embarrass yourself." Hu Dingtang said.

"Everything has to start at the source." I said, "If you really want to know about your lesions, you have to look for it from your father." ”

Hu Dingtang said in disbelief: "My father has been dead for tens of thousands of years!" ”

"What about the bones?" These days, I think a lot, especially about Hu Dingtang's illness, which is the only way out I can think of.

Hu Dingtang shook his head: "When he died, my grandfather had already sent me to my uncle's house, before leaving, I met him, he just didn't want me to hate anyone, don't dig into it, and said I'm sorry for me, but ...... I hate! ”

"Later, as for how to deal with his posthumous affairs, it has become a taboo in the clan, no one dares to mention it, and over time, not many people even remember that there was such a person in this world."

I suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Hu Dingtang, hesitated, and asked a question that I knew I shouldn't ask: "Hu Dingtang, is that ...... What about your mother? ”

Hu Dingtang looked at me sharply, and sure enough, this question was a thorn in his heart, and I quickly said: "It's okay, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask." ”

I said, stood up, and pointed outside: "I'll go and ask the housekeeper to prepare something for me, and I'll treat your leg later." ”

I turned to leave, and he grabbed me, and I staggered and sat down again, and he paused and said, "My mother...... I left when I was very young, vomiting blood and dying. ”

I didn't ask much, just sat quietly, waiting for Hu Dingtang to tell me: "Her reputation is not very good, she has a lot of infamy, she is depressed all day long, her body is not as good as day by day, since I can remember, she has been drinking medicine, vomiting blood, and lying in bed until she died one night." ”

"She doesn't like me ......"

"I don't like my father's ...... either"

After a long silence, Hu Dingtang didn't say any more, I could feel his sadness, a woman, married a man, gave birth to a child, but didn't love that man or her own child, and died depressed, it is not difficult to guess that she lives in her heart.

But who is that 'other person'?

Hu Dingtang didn't want to say it, which shows that maybe they all know that person, but it is difficult to talk about it because they know it.

"Hiss......" Hu Dingtang suddenly gasped, his expression on his face became distorted, and his leg pain worsened.

I hurried to call the butler to prepare what I needed, and then went back to the room, took out one of the mandala fruits from my purse, mixed it with the rune water, and slowly crushed and stirred until the pale yellow rune water gradually turned black.

"Actually, I don't want to give you this thing." I said while stirring the talisman water, "This thing is extremely cold, injected into your kneecaps, it is to fight poison with poison, and if you use it too many times, the yin and evil qi in the mandala will invade your body, and after a long time, it will change your physique, and it will also have a certain impact on your cultivation." ”

"I've been cultivating for so many years, and my cultivation talent is excellent, are you still afraid that I'll go mad?" Hu Dingtang didn't care.

I opened my mouth and wanted to argue a few words, but in the end I held back, in fact, he has a better mentality now, and talking too much makes him feel psychologically burdened.

"It might hurt, should I tie you up?" I asked.

He shook his head: "Come on, it doesn't hurt and I can't help it." ”

I plunged the yin and yang needle into the rune water mixed with mandala venom, the silver needle instantly turned black, I carefully pierced the yin and yang needle into Hu Dingtang's knee, stayed for dozens of seconds, and then pulled out the yin and yang needle, and then put it into the rune water, pierced into the knee, a full seven times.

When I put away the yin and yang needles, Hu Dingtang finally couldn't bear the pain and cried out: "! ”

On his right leg and knee, little by little fishy bright yellow liquid seeped out, very disgusting, I quickly lit a sandalwood stick, put the incense head to the knee, and smoked it in a circle.

This process lasted for three minutes, and every minute and second was torment for Hu Dingtang, the bright yellow liquid was a little viscous, flowing down the calf until it could no longer flow.

I extinguished the sandalwood, mixed cinnabar, rubbed it up his calf, up to his knee, then covered his entire right knee with cinnabar, and wrapped it in a white cloth.

After doing this, I was also tired and sweating, Hu Dingtang's whole body was about to collapse in pain, leaning on the head of the bed, his face was a little pale, but he still asked: "What is that, so disgusting?" ”

"Corpse oil." I replied as I packed my things.

Hu Dingtang frowned, very puzzled: "How can it be corpse oil?" ”

I glanced out the window, the rain had stopped, and it was just dawning.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and soon, Hu Jianbin came in, his face was very ugly, he glanced at Hu Dingtang, and then approached me, and whispered: "I have checked, the candle was drowned in the corpse oil and extinguished." ”

I nodded, indicating that I understood, and then explained: "Don't touch anything, quietly observe everyone in the mansion, and don't make a noise when you see that the famous hall is coming, just tell me." ”

"Okay." Hu Jianbin said, glanced at Hu Dingtang again, and then asked, "Third brother, are you better?" ”

Hu Dingtang said: "It's much better, let people bring food." ”

Hu Jianbin agreed and left.

Hu Dingtang looked at me, waiting for my answer, I pulled the quilt over his lap and explained: "Someone stepped on the point, fixed the seven evil positions around the mansion, sealed the red lanterns on the seven evil positions with corpse oil, and extinguished the yang energy of the mansion, so your illness will attack." ”

"Even if the corpse oil seals the seven evil positions, the corpse oil will not appear in my knees?" Hu Dingtang still didn't understand.

"Corpse oil is just an introduction." I said, "If my guess is correct, the people who killed your father back then, whether it was medicine, formation, or anything, used corpse oil as a guide, and you are like a candle in the red lantern, and the corpse oil continues to accumulate in your veins, slowly flooding your entire body, and you will no longer be you. ”

Hu Dingtang's face suddenly became extremely difficult to see: "Who the hell is it!" ”

"Don't worry, take care of your body first, the more impatient you are, the more you overdraft your body, the more you will fall into the other party's arms." I comforted.

Hu Dingtang took my hand and looked at me with an inexplicable doting look in his eyes: "Xiao Jiu'er, it's good to meet you." ”

I smiled, "You didn't think that before. ”

"I used to have no eyes."

Hu Dingtang's words made me laugh out loud, thinking about our meeting and the subsequent love and killing, I inexplicably felt funny.

Hu Dingtang looked at me and smiled, and when he looked at it, he suddenly said, "Maybe I really shouldn't have come out of the old mansion." ”

"Regret it?" I asked.

"It's not that I regret it, I just think you're right." Hu Dingtang said, "Only grandpa knows all the things, and now I have a falling out with him, and I can't ask if I want to." ”

I shook my head: "You ask, he may not be willing to say it, after all, there are some things that may cause a big disaster if you say it, and you would rather bring it into the coffin than say it." ”

Hu Dingtang sat up suddenly, as if he had thought of something, holding my hand unconsciously hard, and I shouted in pain: "Hu Dingtang, let go, it hurts!" ”

Hu Dingtang let go of me all of a sudden, but said eagerly: "Grandpa, do you think grandpa will have an accident?" ”

Yes, the people who deal with Hu Dingtang not only want Hu Dingtang to die, but also to cover up what happened, and those things, Hu Qingan knows the most inside information, if you want some things to never be turned over again, Hu Qingan can't keep it.
