Chapter 94: Devil Instructor
For the next three days, Su Xiu did not leave the villa for half a step, and always meditated cross-legged to guard the machine spirit.
He didn't say words of gratitude, but he proved the gratitude in his heart with his actions.
You must know that if the machine spirit also rebels at that time, the two powerful souls of the Xuan Spirit Turtle and the Machine Spirit will definitely succeed.
There is no suspense about this.
Liu Yao didn't cover her face for three days, and she didn't know where she went crazy. Su Xiu didn't pay attention to this, after all, during this time, Liu Yao was quite trying, and she couldn't let her devote herself to cultivation, which would drive an eighteen-year-old girl crazy, and occasionally let her relax.
Ye Ling'er and Lu Wanrou went to school as usual, Li Zixuan was in the city hospital all day, and when she came back at night, Ling'er and Wanrou took turns tutoring.
As for Li's mother, her condition has gradually improved, and she can drink some gruel every day, and it is no longer a problem to turn left and right.
Although Li's mother was out of danger, the dean did not let her be discharged from the hospital and was forced to stay in the hospital for seven days for observation.
In this regard, Li Zixuan was a little reluctant, after all, the daily cost of medicine is very expensive.
In the end, Su Xiu persuaded for half an hour, and Li Zixuan agreed.
In addition, during these three days, there was one thing that caused a stir all over the country.
That is, Situ Jia bought Honghu Company for 700 million, which is a big news, many people in the industry say that Chen Long is a fool and is willing to sell the company for 700 million, which is not enough for the company's net profit for a year.
However, who can know Chen Long's suffering?
If you don't sell it, it will be a ruined family.
Few people know Chen Long's hardships, and when people in the industry analyzed that Situ Jin would give Honghu to Situ Qi, a shocking news spread that the new chairman was surnamed Su.
This turmoil is even more ferocious than the sensation caused by Chen Long's sale of Honghu Company at a loss.
However, this is only something that outsiders know. As for what he didn't know, Situ Jin also gave Su Xiu 300 million.
got Honghu Company and accepted Situ Jin's 300 million, Su Xiu also kept his promise and unlocked the spell in Situ Qi's body.
The father and son didn't want to see Su Xiu for a moment, and left Qianyuan Island with the anger in their hearts.
As for how to run Honghu Company, Su Xiu didn't know anything. Therefore, Su Xiu felt that in this matter, he still needed to ask Ye Ling'er to entrust Ye Tianlong to help.
As expected, Ye Tianlong agreed, which saved Su Xiu from worrying.
In the early morning of the fourth day, the machine spirit had completely devoured the soul of the Xuanling Turtle, and when the machine spirit was grateful to Su Xiu for his kindness, Liu Yao sneaked out of the room.
The moment he saw Su Xiu, the flesh on Liu Yao's face twitched slightly, and before he could walk back to the room, he was dragged out of the villa by Su Xiu's ears and drove away from Qianyuan Island.
At about 7:10, the two received Zhou Yuting and drove out of Qianyuan City, the journey lasted nearly 50 minutes, and the Mercedes-Benz stopped at the top of Shidi Mountain, which is more than 30 miles away from the city center.
"It turns out that this ruined castle is your base. ”
Su Xiu had never been to this castle, but he still remembered some rumors about the castle.
The beginning of the construction of the ancient castle can be traced back to the Wanli period.
At that time, Su Xiu heard from the older generation that because the construction of the castle was different from the house, the lord of the castle Baron hired more than 100 craftsmen, and the cost of more than 100,000 silver taels was consumed. If it were exchanged for today's banknotes, it would be more than 10 million yuan.
It is worth mentioning that in the fourth year after the castle was built, a thief sneaked into the castle late at night, intending to steal some valuable porcelain, only to find that the castle was empty, and the baron and his family had mysteriously disappeared.
However, what is even more strange is that after the thief sneaked into the castle, he found that all the valuable porcelain, gold and silver in the castle were there, but the thick dust was enough to prove that the castle had not been inhabited for a year or two.
Therefore, the thieves came down from the castle that night and took their families to the castle, and this stay was half a year.
The castle changed owners, and this matter went far and wide. Some of the people also had the idea of the castle, but when they came in droves to ransack the castle, they found that the thieves and their families behaved strangely, with their hair disheveled and they especially liked to wear red clothes.
This is not a cautious person, the most terrifying thing is that their eyes are scarlet and scary, and they are skinny as if they have exhausted their essence, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are dead bodies crawling out of the grave.
But under greed, the people in the Wanli period still killed the robbers' family and robbed the porcelain, gold, silver and jewelry in the ancient castle.
However, no one expected that three years later, all those who had obtained the treasure showed signs of strange behavior, and their expressions gradually became dull and their eyes were blank, as if they had been caught in the evil spirit.
The most terrible thing is that more and more people seem to be infected, an invisible plague swept through the surrounding nine cities, and it took several months for the imperial court to send 70,000 troops to kill the evil people in the nine cities.
That plague was still widespread among the people until a hundred years later.
Of course, after hundreds of years of transmission from generation to generation, it has reached Su Xiu's ears, and even now some citizens of Qianyuan City, there are not a few people who know about it.
Whether the rumors are true or not, today's castle has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and only traces of time have been left after the baptism of wind and frost, the collapse of walls and houses.
Gold and silver jewelry? Not here.
Yes, it's just weird legends, and the plague is just one of the legends.
"Ahem! Zhou Yuting, in my memory, this ancient castle is an ominous place. Standing in the open space in front of the ancient castle, looking at the moss and cracks on the wall, Su Xiu coughed lightly and whispered to Zhou Yuting on the side.
"Ha! Su Xiu, are you referring to the plague in the Wanli years?" Zhou Yuting hugged her shoulders, unaffected by Su Xiu's gloomy voice, and her face did not show any fear.
"In that plague, the officers and soldiers slaughtered the evil people in the nine cities. I heard from the older generation that there were more than 700,000 people. ”
If this legend is true, I think the main culprit is the baron, who must have smeared some kind of medicine on the gold and silver jewelry, so that those who have worn it for a long time have been eroded by the medicine and become delirious. ”
Living in the 21st century, she prefers to believe in science. Of course, she also refuted the gods and ghosts, after all, the person next to her was a cultivator.
"Perhaps, you're right. Su Xiu smiled.
"Okay, I'm not afraid, but you, a cultivator, are a little timid? It's okay, Chen Zhongxuan doesn't know how many times I've been here, and I haven't seen him behave strangely? Besides, my people have been practicing in the ancient castle for several months, and you can see what is wrong with them later. ”
