Chapter 16: The Ghost Lingers
Xia Weilie looked at the second daughter who was standing in front of him with her head down, and suddenly felt as if she had never seriously talked to this daughter, let alone faced her squarely.
No, it's not that it hasn't been, I remember that when I asked her to go to Yongzhou that year, I also called her here. It's just that at that time, he searched his stomach and searched for some words, and wanted to coax her, but he was angry with her obviously immature but mocking little face, and the last comforting word was not said, only glanced at her coldly, and ordered her to keep to herself and not do anything wrong, so he ordered someone to take her away.
Therefore, she is even more difficult to discipline now than when she was a child, because she has resentment? If that is the case, she really doesn't know what to do, from ancient times to the present, how can there be a reason to be a daughter who resents her parents! Moreover, the Xia family almost tried their best to cultivate her, but in the end, it was found that she was just a useless person, which made the Xia family humiliated among the eight major families, and some people still mock him with this matter.
After being stared at for a long time, Xia Na finally couldn't help but speak: "Father, may I ask, what did I provoke?" As a monk with advanced cultivation, you sit on the chair again, of course you don't feel tired, but I am a mortal in the flesh, and I will still be tired after standing for a long time, okay.
Instead of answering, Xia Weili asked another question: "You...... But you still resent me?"
"Resentment? Father laughed, how dare I resent you, I am ashamed, ashamed, and ashamed. The family has high hopes for me, but I am just a waste person who has no clues, leading the family to waste energy and resources in vain, and I have become a laughing stock for everyone's after-dinner conversation. Sometimes I wonder if I am actually a deformity, is it because I am lacking in something that I was born in the Xia family, but I can't even do the simplest cultivation. ”
A few words that were somewhat familiar made Xia Weilie slightly stunned.
Xia Na finally raised her head to meet Xia Weilie's gaze, and raised a bright smile: "Father, don't worry, I will never resent you, but as long as I still have a little conscience as a daughter, I shouldn't have any resentment towards you and the family." My family raised me, but I wasted my family's resources, and I should feel sincerely guilty about my family. ”
Oh, Father, it seems that you have forgotten what you said to my mother. You're old and have a bad memory, but I have a good memory, and I remember it very clearly.
Although the tone of his words was extremely sincere and his smile was also very bright, Xia Weilie felt extremely harsh and dazzling, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "You don't need to be flamboyant here, just answer my question properly." ”
Xana spread her hands helplessly: "So, what exactly do you want to ask?"
"Last night, the defensive formation was touched, and at least five dead souls attacked the formation, and besides, it was towards your room, don't you think you should explain?"
In fact, Xia Weilie was also curious about why a dead soul came to Xana, after all, she was just a waste person who couldn't do anything.
Dead souls? It seems that it is mentioned in the "Supplement to the Spirits" that it is the soul of human beings who do not go to reincarnation after death but wander outside. Generally speaking, dead souls don't have much power, and even a little bit of strength will dissipate by wandering outside for too long. That kind of thing actually has the guts and the strength to attack the Xia family's defensive formation?
"Indeed, ordinary dead souls don't have the strength to attack a big family's defensive formation at all - let alone the big family's defensive formation, just an ordinary person's defensive formation, they don't dare to get close to half a step. However, there is a kind of dead soul that is different. Jue Se's voice sounded in Xia Na's mind, "There is a kind of dead soul, they maintain the state of the soul, and at the same time, they have also mastered a certain cultivation method and accumulated a certain amount of strength, but this kind of dead soul dares to collide with the defensive formation. ”
"Dead souls can also cultivate? Xana was sure that none of the books she had turned to had anything like that had happened.
Jue Se sneered: "Most of the dead souls with cultivation ability are in the underworld, and the relationship between your mortal world and the underworld has just been established, where can you know the situation in the underworld." ”
So, those dead souls who came at her were probably from the underworld? Xiana couldn't help but grind her teeth slightly, if that was the case, there was only one person who had the ability to do this kind of thing - Lan Ling.
Seeing that Xia Na was speechless for a long time, but her expression was a little weird, Xia Weilie couldn't help but speak: "What, have you already thought of the origin of the dead soul?"
"No, I'm just wondering why the Dead Soul dares to attack our family's defensive formation, as far as I know, the Dead Soul shouldn't have that power. "Well, even if she was entangled by a Juese, it is impossible that her respected father is also the reincarnation of someone from the underworld, and he was also entangled by a visitor from the underworld.
Regarding what Xia Na said, Xia Weilie was also very puzzled, not counting the few dead souls that were eliminated by the formation, there were still three dead souls that could still maintain their shape through the formation, this is simply the biggest mockery of the strength of the Xia family's formation, if it is passed out, let people know that the Xia family's formation can't even prevent a few dead souls, I'm afraid the Xia family will really become a joke in the exorcism world. But what made him angry was that when he wanted to interrogate the dead souls himself, they dared to disintegrate and dissolve in front of him, so he had to call this daughter who he didn't want to see in front of him.
"Father, I repeat, although you said that those dead souls came for me, I really don't know where they came from, and I don't remember who I offended (well, the sins of my previous life should not be counted), even if you tied me up and tortured me, I can't give you a correct answer. After all, as a disgraced cripple to my family, all I had to do every day was go to school, eat, and go on dates. ”
Hearing the phrase "go to school, eat and date", Xia Weilie suddenly frowned, and was about to scold Xia Na, but saw the communication light flashing, so he had to answer the summons first.
"Master, there is a Miss Lan Ling, who claims to be an envoy of the underworld, and wants to see you. ”
The corners of Lan Ling's mouth twitched slightly, what the hell is it, why did that woman chase after her again, it is simply ghostly. Oh yes, the woman was a ghost.
Hearing that it was the messenger of the underworld, Xia Weilie was stunned, and then remembered the dead souls last night, could it be ...... If that is the case, he should be careful, for all day today, almost the entire mortal world was in a stir, and all of them were talking about the messenger of the underworld.
"That...... Father, since there are guests, should I retire first?" Xia Na reminded in a loud voice, lest Xia Weilie forget her daughter, who is not suitable for guests.
Ahhh
