Chapter 476: The Xue Family's Old Mansion
Xue Chou escaped death, but he lived more painfully than his dead relatives. He wanted revenge, and he knew that he couldn't beat the grass to fly, so he became a killer and practiced his killing skills. By the time he thought he had the strength to fight with the grass, the grass had disappeared from this world.
Some people say that Cao Shangfei was originally just going to take Grandma Xue away and fly away, but the people of the Xue family forcibly stopped the bloody case.
Some people also said that Cao Shangfei just wanted to kill the Xue family and Xue Shao's grandmother's family, he was disfigured by them, and he was originally to take revenge on them for what happened back then.
Some people also said that Flying on the grass stabbed Grandma Xue in the heart, and Grandma Xue believed that he would kill her.
Some people said that Cao Shangfei didn't want to kill Grandma Xue, it was she who hit his knife!
Hu Xianxian took Hang Wuyi to the Xue family's old house, and along the way, she was flying on the contemplative grass and had a tryst with Grandma Xue many times, why didn't she just take her away? Why do you have to wait until the incident happens, seeing that she is going to die, before you kill someone?
They landed on the edge of the small pond, and each looked at the Xue family's old house with a faint gaze. There were many people around the Xue family's old house, including people from the government, Taoist priests, monks, and some chivalrous men with swords and hats.
Hu Xianxian commanded with a sneering expression: "Let's take a look at the excitement first, figure out what they are going to do, and then go over." ”
Hang Wuyi agreed softly: "I listen to my aunt." Alas...... Xue Chou is so pitiful, I heard you say that he became a killer later, and he killed too many people and lost his lifespan, and his hair turned gray......"
"How pathetic?" Hu Xianxian subconsciously asked, she only thought about what the original reason was, and what to do after entering the Xue family's old mansion, she really didn't think that those people were pitiful.
"Yes, Auntie, don't you think he's pitiful?
He must not have thought that his grandfather and father would force his mother to die, so he told the informant directly, he thought that they would only keep his mother under closer care.
He didn't want to kill his mother, and he wouldn't have thought that flying on the grass would kill so many people, he must have lived in self-blame for the past few years.
The feeling of self-blame was the most uncomfortable, he thought that he would be relieved earlier by taking revenge, so he killed many innocent people desperately for revenge......"
Hu Xianxian looked at Hang Wuyi and wondered slightly, why was she all speculating about what Xue Chou originally thought? Just like Xue Chou has known her for many years, she is almost instinctively defending him.
Hang Wuyi is not yet fourteen years old, and she was born thin and looks younger than she actually is, but Hu Xianxian still can't help but think about her children's private affairs.
In these years, as long as there is no famine, women are generally engaged at the age of sixteen and married at the age of eighteen. Even if there is a woman who marries at the age of 16 or even younger, others will criticize the woman's family for selling their daughters.
Hu Xianxian can't understand that Hang Wuyi knows how to love love at such a young age? Even if the love is just beginning, she hasn't even seen Xue Chou's face, where is the love?
Hu Xianxian felt that his thoughts were too bizarre for a while, and for a while he thought that he hadn't thought much about it. Because when Hang Wuyi heard about Lei Peng, Hu Yonggang, Cheng Haofeng and others, he also listened very seriously, but the emotions in his eyes were completely different.
It is the admiration of seeing them as peaks, looking up to them, and longing to be on an equal footing with them. Speaking of Xue Chou, the emotion in her eyes was full of pity and helplessness, and it was the mutual attachment that she wanted to share all the pain of Xue Chou.
Hu Xianxian stroked Hang Wuyi's head worriedly, and whispered relief: "Don't think about it, we may be able to change his fate." ”
She took Hang Wuyi to the door of the Xue family's old mansion, and she had already seen that those Taoist monks were here to catch ghosts, and the people from the government were preventing them from entering the Xue family's old mansion. As for those chivalrous, it means that they will hide in the grass and go in to eliminate harm for the people. There are also some nearby villagers who have nothing to do to watch the excitement.
Sun Zhanou personally led the people from the government to persuade the idle people to leave, but they were unwilling to leave, making a mess.
No one noticed Hu Xianxian and Hang Wuyi, compared to those strangely dressed Taoist priests, monks, and knights, they were more like two small village girls who came to see the excitement nearby.
It was getting dark, Sun Zhanou was even more anxious, he bowed deeply to everyone, and said earnestly: "Sun begs all the Taoist masters, masters, heroes, and fathers and fellow villagers, please don't go in again!" In the past half a month, the people who went in were either dead or crazy, and Sun was really afraid of another disaster. Please leave quickly, if something happens again, Sun really can't explain. ”
The crowd was quiet for a while, Hu Xianxian walked over and said solemnly: "Let's go quickly, don't die in vain for the sake of curiosity and recklessness!" Those who do not listen to the persuasion are immediately thrown into prison. ”
Seeing her come forward, Sun Zhanou and the people of Qionglian Palace, Yuanmingguan, and Shanfu Temple all greeted her respectfully, and others also knew that her identity was extraordinary.
The crowd began to disperse, and only some people who were quite proud of themselves were still watching. Hu Xianxian wouldn't really let Sun Zhanou arrest them and put them in prison, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them, but asked about the specific situation.
Sun Zhanou said that in the past half a month, the old mansion of the Xue family has been filled with blood mist every night, and the sound of ghosts crying endlessly. The people who went to hunt ghosts and detectives came out and were either dead or crazy, and there were also those who were trapped in the old mansion and whose life and death were uncertain, and he had decided to temporarily close the area.
Hu Xianxian slightly agreed with his approach, and then explained: "Please return to the state government as soon as possible to deal with government affairs and appease the people."
Then ask Lord Sun to tell Commander Bian to lead the army to seal up the roads within a radius of ten miles. After the end of the night, until I let you lift the ban, no one shall go out or come in.
Outside the courtyard of the Xue family's old mansion, only Qiao Yuanjun, Fan Daochang, Cen Daochang, and Suishun Xiaofu were left to respond. The rest of the people who insist on staying here are destined to live and die, and they must not drag others down.
Lord Sun, the time is coming, please leave. Those who should leave, please leave with Master Sun, and I advise you to cherish your own lives. ”
Sun Zhanou led people to set off, and many people who didn't want to leave followed after hesitating. Hu Xianxian saw that Hang Wuyi hadn't left yet, so he scolded her: "You didn't hear what I said?" Get out of here with them. ”
"Auntie...... I'm not going! I think Xue Chou is inside, and I want to save him...... I feel like only I can save him! Hang Wuyi lowered his head and said quietly and firmly.
Hu Xianxian was a little shocked when he heard this, and then nodded slightly. She asked Qiao Chushi, Fan Chuyao, Cen Zaidao, and Suishun who stayed behind to let them take care of Hang Wuyi, and she had to take a closer look at the surrounding terrain first.
After they agreed, Hu Xianxian asked them to light a bonfire in the open space three zhang away from the courtyard gate, and sit around the bonfire and wait for her to make the next arrangement.
After arranging them properly, she flew up in the air and circled the Xue family's old mansion to take a closer look at the terrain.
Outside the door of the Xue family's old mansion is a vacant land full of weeds, and it is expected that there should be flowers and plants planted before it is abandoned.
After this open space, there is a big road crossing, this road connecting Yizhou and Lingzhou used to be busy with traffic, quite lively.
After crossing the main road, there are several rice fields facing the courtyard gate, and there is a small pond diagonally facing the courtyard gate. Shortly after the rice was harvested, there were stacks of straw in the paddy fields. The weeping willows on the edge of the small pond are clinging, the lotus leaves in the pond are like covers, and the lotus flowers are fragrant.
Looking at the back of the Xue family's old house, there is a small hillside, and the slope is full of peach trees and pear trees. There are not many peaches left, and the pears are full of fruit.
The old house is lined with vegetable fields, and the land near the wall of the house may be that no one dares to cultivate, it is overgrown with weeds, and the vegetables in the fields farther away are fresh and pleasing.
Hu Xianxian secretly sighed that although the feng shui of the Xue family's old house is not very good, it should also be a peaceful place for the family, but now it has become a gloomy ghost cave, which is really sad.
She flew over the house again to inspect the structure of the compound. At this time, it was completely dark, and she could see at night, so she should not be affected by the night. But she only vaguely saw that there were about three small courtyards and more than fifty rooms in this courtyard, and she couldn't see the others clearly.
Hu Xianxian rubbed his eyes, and then looked at it, and his eyes were a little blurred. Only then did she realize that it was not her eyes that were blurry, but the fog above the Xue family's old mansion, blocking her vision.
The fog was not gray, but purple-red, and there was a faint smell of blood wafting in the thick fog.
The fog was rising, the mountains were silent, and occasionally a few crows were crying out.
Hu Xianxian was contemplating and thinking, and a few sharp and weird laughs suddenly came from the old mansion, even if she was tall and bold, she couldn't help but stand on end.
She flew back to the campfire outside the courtyard gate and counseled with the people. As soon as he said a few words, there was a strange laughter in the house, and Hang Wuyi said: "It's a bit like the cry of an owl......"
Before he could finish speaking, the voice gradually changed to a cry, like the weak, desperate and pitiful cry of an abandoned baby.
"This, this is not the call of an owl...... Hang Wuyi's face turned pale, and he shrank and moved to Hu Xianxian's side.
"Huh, scared? This ghost is scared to cry, how can he descend the ghost and catch the ghost to give them a transcendence in the future? Sui Shun teased her, and then took a branch and put a steamed bun on the fire to roast.
Sui Shun said while roasting steamed buns: "In my opinion, it is better for a few of us to lead the thunder with our own ability, chant the mantra, and after getting rid of the evil ghosts, let the government burn down here." ”
Cen Zaidao shook his head and said, "You think too simply, this Xue family's old mansion is not a place to gather yin, so it stands to reason that there will be no evil ghosts gathering." This current state of affairs is deliberately being done. If we act recklessly, the slightest carelessness will lead to greater calamity. ”
The steamed buns roasted by Sui Shun were already golden in color and fragrant, and he first asked others if they would eat them, and after they all agreed not to eat them, he and Hang Wuyi shared half of each.
"I don't eat ...... either," Hang Wuyi waved his hand.
"What are you polite? They don't eat and they don't go hungry, so don't compare yourself to them. He forcibly stuffed half of the steamed buns to Hang Wu, "You said that you think the little young master of the Xue family is here, could it be that he brought back the ghosts of his relatives in order to take revenge?" ”
Hang Wuyi took the steamed bun and took a small bite, and replied in a daze: "Yes, maybe he did it for revenge......"
Hu Xianxian's eyebrows gathered, and he raised his hand sharply and said, "Yes, I still can't figure out how the blood feud can be with them and Erihun."
This must be what method they used to gather the souls of the dead to attract the grass to fly, and the blood feud returned to the Xue family's old mansion.
But why do they want to help the blood feud lead out of the grass and fly? Maybe the Orihun their target is us. ”
Seeing that none of them understood, she explained: "They are here to lure us in, and these blood-colored mist are a trap for us. ”
Qiao Chushi understood what she meant, and asked worriedly: "This haunted matter of the Xue family's old mansion is coming for us, if we don't solve it, we can't do it, if we want to solve it, we have to go in; But after entering, there are traps inside. Do we go in or don't go in? ”
