There is a large mansion on the east side of Baicao Garden, which is the manor where the main residence of the Yin family is located.

The Yin family has been around for a hundred years and is quite wealthy, although there have been few people in the main lineage, the house is very atmospheric and stylish.

The two- to three-storey pavilions are dotted between the artificially excavated meandering waters, and are connected by arched bridges of white stone masonry and cloisters with cornices. In the whole manor, rockeries, rare trees, small beasts, and seasonal flowers can be seen everywhere.

The ancestors of the Yin family obviously put a lot of thought into building this manor.

At this time, although it was late at night, there was still a lot of light in the Yin family's manor. In particular, one of the three-storey attics, surrounded by water, is decorated with fluorescent lights and is exquisitely bright. Through the shadow of the building reflected in the surrounding water, it is not difficult to find that there are figures walking around the pavilion from time to time.

"Miss, why are you here?" On the second floor of the attic, the maid in the cyan gauze skirt who was yawning outside the door heard the sound of footsteps, turned her head and saw a bright woman coming over, busy lifting her body, and asked in surprise.

The bright woman in a simple nightdress glanced at the half-hidden door, tapped her head and said, "Well, I'm coming to see Luo Luo, she hasn't slept yet, right?"

"Yes, the second lady is dispensing potions, no, no," the green gauze maid shrank her head and hurriedly changed her words: "It's alchemy!"

The bright woman chuckled, thinking of some rumors she had heard about her little sister in the last few days. It seems that the little sister has become an idiot in refining medicine, and she is shouting that she is about to refine her own first taste of the elixir, so she is not allowed to say that she is a pharmacist, and she wants to call her a noble Danshi. She also specially instructed the people around her to change their names in the future.

The bright woman is naturally Yin Qixue, the eldest lady of the Yin family, and her attic is opposite to Yin Qiluo's adjacency. Tonight, after dealing with the mundane affairs at hand, I wanted to go to sleep after cleaning, but I saw that the attic of the little sister opposite was still brightly lit, and she hadn't seen the little sister for several days, so she came to visit temporarily.

"Miss, do you need me to report to Miss Two?"

"No need, you're still here to watch, I'll go in by myself. ”

Gently push the door to enter, and then close the door with your backhand.

Yin Qiluo spent several days refining medicine in his attic, spending all his time in refining medicine except for meal time.

Looking at Yin Qiluo, who was still busy with her back to herself, her yellow skirt was torn, her hair was messy, and she was distressed.

Yin Qiluo didn't notice her, she didn't bother her, she just stood behind her and watched quietly. The small figure skillfully threw dozens of medicinal materials into a knee-high medicine furnace on the stone platform, and then slapped the palm on the stove, and after about half an hour, the lid of the furnace trembled, and white smoke came out.

Quickly opened the lid, waved his hand to take out a few pills, and accurately placed them into the jade bottle prepared in advance on the workbench, Yin Qiluo breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Bang Bang Bang –

It wasn't until Yin Qi Luo Dancheng finished work that Yin Qixue applauded happily: "Witness the miracle with your own eyes, our Yin family's first Danshi Master was born!"

Yin Qiluo turned his little gray face, and exclaimed in surprise and happiness: "Ah, sister, when did you come?"

"I've been here for a while, but I saw that you were busy, so I didn't call you. Yin Qixue walked over, caressed Yin Qiluo's little face dotingly, and said distressedly: "You, look at yourself, like a little flower cat!"

"Hehe, it's okay, people have just successfully practiced a furnace and a product of hemostatic pills!" Yin Qiluo threw herself into her sister's arms, regardless of her mess, she raised her head and said coquettishly.

"Okay, good, our Luo Luo is the best, and he will be a real Dan master in the future!" Yin Qixue stroked her little sister's hair, her eyes full of doting.

"Well, it's not enough, the color of the furnace hemostatic pill is not very good, and it is not a pill developed by myself, when others practice the new pill developed by themselves, they can go to the Dan Pharmaceutical Association for certification, and then they can be regarded as a real first-class Dan master!"

"No matter what, Luo Luo is the best in my sister's eyes, you are the hope of our Yin family. Yin Qixue held Yin Qiluo tightly in her arms, with a trace of self-reproach in her eyes.

"Sister, don't say that, you are also the hope of our Yin family!" Feeling Yin Qixue's self-blame, Yin Qiluo also hugged her sister with her backhand.

In the bright yellow light of the moonstone, two figures, one large and one small, leaned against each other, and the messy workbench and the curling medicinal fragrance are all embellishments of this warm picture.

After a long time, Yin Qixue pushed away the little sister in her arms and said gently: "Okay, silly girl, don't think about it, hurry up and wash, and then have a good rest!"

"Well, people have to wash with their sister and sleep together!"

"Okay, you ghost girl deliberately made me dusty, did you have this plan for a long time?"

"Hee-hee-hee......"

Yin Qiluo got her wish and slept with her sister, in the red gauze curtain, two stunning beauties, one big and one small, were lying on the soft couch of the purple jade coral screen in light gauze nightdresses, playing and playing from time to time.

"It's still my sister's bed that is the most comfortable, people have liked it since I was a child!" Yin Qiluo said, spreading his arms and legs on the soft couch, one arm just pressing on Yin Qixue's chest.

"Luo Luo, don't make trouble, turn over and lie down!" Yin Qixue slapped Yin Qiluo's arm dissatisfiedly.

"Hehe, my sister's chest is so soft!" Yin Qiluo didn't listen, and deliberately pinched a few handfuls of her chest.

"Dead girl, if you touch and move around, you will be punished for sleeping on the floor!" Yin Qixue's face was hot, and she hurriedly covered her chest, and pushed away the annoying demon hand on her chest with her other hand.

"Stingy, don't let me touch it. Yin Qiluo turned over angrily, rolled his eyes, and suddenly rode on his sister, grabbing her chest indiscriminately.

"Haha, I want to touch, I want to touch. ”

Yin Qixue was not to be outdone, turned over and asked her little sister to press under her, the two of them came and went, playing happily and frolicking, until they were both tired and sweating profusely before lying down side by side.

Yin Qixue gasped, calmed down for a while, and said seriously: "Okay, Luo Luo, my sister really has no strength now, you lie down, my sister has something to tell you." ”

"Well, what is my sister going to say?" Yin Qiluo's little head shrank and drilled into the crook of Yin Qixue's arm.

"Tomorrow is the middle of the month!"

"Hmph, sister, you are urging people to go back to the imperial city again! Didn't people promise to return at the end of the month? Isn't it time yet?" Yin Qiluo snorted dissatisfied.

Poof—

With a chuckle, Yin Qixue knocked on Yin Qiluo's little head and explained: "Silly girl, you misunderstood what your sister meant, didn't you pay attention to the full moon when you just came to your sister's attic?"

"Ahh......h

"Well, every year at this time, something weird happens there, you tell those medicine boys of yours tomorrow to stay away from there, stay in the room as much as possible at night, and don't go out. Yin Qixue patted Yin Qiluo's back as she spoke, motioning for her to lie down.

"I got my sister. Yin Qiluo obediently lay in her sister's arms again.

"Okay, let's sleep!" Yin Qixue's voice was soft and glutinous, patting the fragrant back of the little sister in her arms.

After several days of tiring, Yin Qiluo was really tired, and soon fell asleep in her sister's arms.

Yin Qixue closed her eyes, her heart palpitated inexplicably, her mind was full of the evil spirit tree in the spirit orchard, and she couldn't sleep.

The tree has always been a secret of their family.

According to legend, 500 years ago, their ancestors were just woodcutters who cut wood for a living.

One day, the ancestor went to an unknown dirt hill nearby to cut wood, picked up a piece of black wood that seemed to have been roasted by a lightning strike, and brought it home. Because the wood was so ugly that it could not be sold, it was discarded in the courtyard.

Until the moon night of the second year, a vision was born.

The black wood swallowed the moonlight, forming a pillar of heavenly light, and the place outside the wood was pitch black, the whole world was pitch black, the ancestor witnessed the whole process through the window, and was so frightened that he did not dare to go out all night, until the next day, at dawn he rushed out to look, only to find that the black wood in the courtyard did not know what to do, and a towering tree grew out of thin air where it was located.

At that time, Lansha Town was still a small village with a small population, but a big tree that no one had ever seen grew out of thin air still attracted the attention of the villagers.

This is where the tragedy begins.

Except for the ancestor, all the people who touched the big tree exploded and died in an instant, and even some monks who came to the surrounding area at that time also exploded and died when they explored and touched it.

The name of terror spread.

But it was a tree, and it was rooted there, and it could not be destroyed or driven away. Fearful of all the villagers, they all moved and fled, except for the ancestor. It is a great horror to others, but to him it is the equivalent of a protective god.

The patriarch built a wall around the tree and named it the Evil Spirit Tree to warn him not to let anyone come near it, so that no one would die. As time passed, people settled in the land again, and the ancestor became a family and had children, and his life got better and better.

Because he knew the horror of the evil spirit tree, when he was alive, he strictly forbade his wife and children to approach, and before he died, he informed his children of the origin and horror of the evil spirit tree, leaving three ancestral teachings:

One, don't go near it, it's dangerous.

Second, you can't stay away from it, keep it, it will bring good luck to the Yin family.

Three, raise it.

The first two are easy to understand, for five hundred years, the descendants of the Yin family have adhered to the ancestral teachings, not approaching, not far away. It may be that the evil spirit tree has brought good luck, and the Yin family is indeed living a better and better life, not only living a rich life, material wealth, but also a cultivable physique has appeared in recent generations, based on this, the recent generations of the Yin family can always mix an official position in the secular world, and they can be regarded as powerful.

Then the third ancestral precept is incomprehensible, why raise it? It is just a tree, how can it be raised?

Yin Qixue believes that the ancestors will not be untargeted, but the Yin family has been passed down for four or five generations now, but she still can't understand what this third ancestral precept is trying to express?

couldn't understand it, but Yin Qixue always had a bad premonition in her heart.

Two hundred years of flowering, two hundred years of fruit, and now another hundred years have passed, and in this hundred years, every year on the full moon night of August, something strange will happen there, is it a sign that something is about to happen?

Father pinned his hopes on Luo Luo, hoping that Luo Luo would become a Dan Master and let the Yin family jump from a secular family to a family of cultivators, maybe he also had a premonition, right?

It's a pity that he doesn't have the talent for cultivation and can't share it for his father and little sister.

......

In deep self-blame, Yin Qixue fell asleep leisurely......
