14. Fake the dead

At the beginning of the ugly time, the mansion was hazy, and the night was hazy.

When the three soldiers patrolling the Mansion walked not far from the Red Feather Boudoir, they suddenly heard a scream coming from inside, and the voice was extremely frightened, and then they fell into silence.

The three family soldiers hurried to the front of the red feather boudoir and put their ears close to the window to listen, but there was no sound in the house. They didn't dare to slack off, the two of them stood guard in front of the boudoir, one went to the servant's room to wake up the two maids who took care of Red Feather, the two maids hurried over, entered Red Feather's room, but found Red Feather lying motionless on the bed, his eyes wide open, looking at the sky, but his eyes were blank and his face was expressionless.

The two maids approached Red Feather and called softly a few times, but Red Feather did not react, not even looking at them, not even rolling their eyes.

The two maids saw Red Feather like this, and they were immediately frightened, one of the maids cried and ran to find Madame, and in an instant, Lu Shen and Madame hurried over, Madame Lu lay in front of Red Feather's bed, calling for a thousand times, but Red Feather never answered, Madame cried and shook her shoulder, and Red Feather just rolled her eyes, as if she didn't know her mother at all.

Seeing her daughter like this, thinking of her private dealings with Ji Chengyu during the day, she guessed that she must have been cursed, so she beat her chest angrily, pointed to the red feather on the bed and said angrily and painfully: "Yu'er, Yu'er, don't let you interact with Ji Chengyu, you don't listen, you are killing yourself!"

Madame stopped crying and said, "What's the use of talking about this now? Besides, how can she know about Ji Chengyu, you should hurry up and find a way to save Yu'er!"

Lu Shen shouted outside the door, "Where is the medical officer?"

A servant had already called the medical officer of the Mansion, Tang Qin, and was waiting outside the door, listening to Lu Shen's shout, he quickly answered and walked in quickly. Lu Shen waved at him and motioned for the young lady to see a doctor quickly.

Tang Qin took the medical box from his back, sat down on a chair in front of the bed, and reached out to pinch Red Feather's wrist to check his pulse. After a long time, Fang said: "Back to Doctor Qing, Miss's pulse is stable, not like a sick body." In my opinion, the young lady seems to have lost her soul. ”

Madame was taken aback and quickly asked, "What is Soul Loss?"

Tang Qin said: "If a person loses his soul, he will become demented, although he can eat and walk, but he does not understand human feelings, does not understand the world, does not recognize relatives, does not understand human language, does not speak, such as a newborn baby, the mind is not open, it is lost soul, also known as fake death." ”

"Nonsense. Lu Shen scolded, "How could my daughter get lost soul and become a fake death?" Although he said this, he remembered that dozens of baby girls born with Ji Chengyu sixteen years ago had become fake dead, and now most of them have died, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold, and he was already a little sure that his daughter had lost his soul.

Yi Zai Wangchu, who was standing on the side, said: "Doctor Qing is angry, is it a soul loss, call Hu An to take a look." "Hu An in Yi Zai's mouth is the Jianghu warlock invited by Lu Shen from Hu Guo sixteen years ago, it is he who put forward the conclusion that Ji Chengyu is the body of the Heavenly Mandate and is destined to be lonely all his life, and Lu Shen saw that he had some ability, so he left him in the house.

"Go and call it. Lu Shen said sharply.

Hu An soon arrived, he was wearing a gray robe and a jacket on his upper body, interestingly, this jacket was full of pockets, and in each pocket was a warlock's utensil.

Lu Shen beckoned and said, "Hu An, hurry up and come over to see if Yu'er really has soul loss." ”

Hu An approached, took out a translucent bronze mirror from a pocket, held it in his right hand, aimed at Red Feather, and then whispered a few incantations, and the mirror emitted a light that shot at Red Feather's forehead, forming a bright circle of light on Red Feather's forehead.

Hu An nodded and said to Lu Shen: "This mirror is a soul mirror, shining on the forehead, which can attract people's souls. If it is a person with a soul, there will be a villain who is exactly the same as it on his forehead, and Miss Red Feather's forehead is empty, which means that Miss Red Feather has no soul, and what the medical officer said is not wrong, Miss Red Feather has indeed lost her soul and become a fake death. ”

When Madame heard Hu An say this, she cried again.

Lu Shen roared impatiently: "Cry, cry, cry, you know that crying, crying can get Yu'er's soul back?"

The lady stopped crying, but sobbed quietly.

Lu Shen stared at Hu An and said, "Where is her soul?"

Hu An said: "Miss Red Feather's soul was stolen, or rather, taken away. ”

Lu Shen suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a low voice, "Who is it? Who took her soul?"

Hu An said: "Please wait a while, Doctor Qing, wait for me to set up an altar, and you will know at a glance." Then he said to the few male servants who were standing, "Come with me." ”

A few people left in a hurry, and soon came back, Hu An had a big bag in his hand, and there were four male servants behind him who carried a square bronze tripod, which was about three feet high, with two erected straight ears on the edge of the mouth, and four columnar feet stood at the bottom.

Hu An commanded the four male servants to place the bronze tripod in the center of the room, poured the seventeen kinds of spiritual plants and trees in the bag into the bronze tripod, took out a fire-starting utensils from the pocket of his body and lit the seventeen kinds of plants and trees, and a very thick white smoke rose from the bronze tripod, forming a smoke screen above the bronze tripod, exuding a rich fragrance and fragrant fragrance into the nose.

Hu An took out a small bronze sword from his pocket, held it in his right hand, and stood the sword body upright in front of his eyes, and placed the index finger and middle finger of his left hand side by side, placing them on the hilt of the sword. After reciting a few more incantations, the two fingers standing side by side quickly slashed from the hilt to the tip of the sword, and he shouted: "Now." ”

A vague scene appeared in the smoke screen above the bronze tripod:

Red Feather paced back and forth in the house alone, his face looking full of grievances. After walking back and forth several times, he suddenly stopped, "hummed", and said to himself: "Don't let me interact with Ji Chengyu, I don't, I like him now." Suddenly smirked, and said: "Red Feather, are you ashamed, you just met and fell in love with others, if this is going to be spread, won't it be laughed at?" Speaking of this, he laughed out loud, and said: "This may be what people say about love at first sight!" walked to the mirror, looked at himself in the mirror, and said, "Red Feather, didn't you have a dream?" I dreamed of having a tryst with a young man dressed in white in a jungle full of flowers, when you saw Ji Chengyu, wasn't it in a jungle full of flowers, and he happened to be wearing white clothes?" nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, the young man in white in my dream must be him." Suddenly turned around and said solemnly: "Ji Chengyu, don't think that I will be scared if you are the Destiny of Heaven, tell you, Miss Ben is not afraid of heaven and earth, and demons and monsters dare not come to me." ”

"Really?" suddenly came a sneer from inside the room, and this sneer was as cold and terrifying as it came from a cold hell.

"Who—who's sneering?" asked Red Feather in a trembling voice, his eyes searching around the room, but there was nothing in the huge room.

"Don't look for me, I'm just a curse, a curse for 10,000 years. As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the room, as if it had emerged from the ground. And his voice seemed to come from hell, indistinct and cold.

Red Feather was about to call someone, but he heard the shadow say, "I advise you not to shout, if you don't shout, it will only be you who will die." If you shout, the whole house will become a grave. ”

Red Feather stretched out her hand and covered her mouth tightly, she didn't dare to shout anymore, her legs were weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground, she held on to the table hard, barely supported her body, and asked, "You, who are you, why, why do you want to kill me?"

The black shadow said coldly: "The women who are liked by Ji Chengyu will be cursed and will die." ”

Red Feather asked in a low voice, "Do you have a grudge against Ji Chengyu?"

The black shadow smiled "hehe" and said, "I'm just a curse, I don't care who Ji Chengyu has an enmity with, I don't care, I just need to curse him." ”

Red Feather said, "Why are you cursing him?"

The shadow said impatiently, "Why should I curse him? How do I know why I curse him? I told you, I'm just a curse." It's like a man with a sword who wants to kill you, and you don't ask the person who wants to kill you, but you ask the sword that wants to kill you, what can the sword know?"

Red Feather said, "Who wants you to curse him?"

The black shadow said: "I hate answering questions, I will answer your last question now, the one who wants me to curse Ji Chengyu must be a person who likes him, as for who that person is, I don't know." The order I received was to curse all the people who were liked by Ji Chengyu, women. ”

Red Feather said sadly: "But Ji Chengyu doesn't like me at all." ”

The black shadow said: "Ji Chengyu said that he would come to you, I think he likes you, so you have to die." ”

Red Feather muttered in a low voice, "If he really likes me, he won't regret dying." ”

The black shadow snapped, "What are you muttering, I've been talking to you too much, take your life!"

Hongyu knew that he would definitely die, his heart was crossed, but he was no longer afraid, thinking of the various scenes with Ji Chengyu, a sense of happiness rose in his heart, and he said lightly: "The mountains have no tombs, and the rivers are exhausted." Thunderstorms in winter, rain and snow in summer. Heaven and earth are together, but dare to be with the king. Then he looked up to the sky with tears in his eyes, closed his eyes, and muttered: "Ji Chengyu, I read this poem to you, I hope that one day, you can know my heart." ”

The black shadow snorted coldly, suddenly swelled up, wrapped the red feather all over, and as soon as it made contact, it quickly separated, staggered a few steps, and said sharply: "How can you have the breath of a spirit master on your body?"

Red Feather had already closed her eyes and was waiting to die, but when she heard the black shadow ask, she opened her eyes again and looked at her. Of course, Hong Yu didn't know, because she wore Ji Chengyu's bear skin shoulder, and she had held it in her hand for a long time, hugged it in her arms, and stuck it on her face, so that she had the strong aura of a spirit master, so that this thousand-year-old curse could not take her life.

But the black shadow did not give up, but suddenly gave birth to a huge suction, and the soul of the red feather went out of the body and entered the black shadow, and the black shadow disappeared with it.

"Yu'er. Mrs. Lu, who had been watching with tears in her eyes, couldn't help but scream when she saw her daughter's soul being sucked away by the black shadow.

Hu An collected the bronze sword, and the white smoke dispersed.

Lu Shen's face was iron-hearted, and he asked, "Where did it take the soul of the red feather?"

Hu An shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Lu Shen asked again: "How to save Yu'er?"

Hu An still shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." ”

Lu Shen's eyes were angry, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Ji Chengyu, I hate that I failed to kill you sixteen years ago, and today I actually hurt my daughter's head." ”

walked up to Yi Zai and whispered a few words, and Yi Zai hurriedly went.

In the jungle outside Jicheng, the corpses of Rong Da and the other three had turned into ashes, and Rong Zhongyuan put the ashes of the three into three pairs of pants, carried them on his shoulders, and stuck the scimitars of the three on his waist, and left with the wizard Leng Yue.
