Chapter 42: Borrowing the body to resurrect the soul is only for love
Deng Leqing was a lively and lovely girl, who was pampered by Master Deng, her mother died in less than a fragrant time after giving birth to her because of difficult childbirth.
Just three years ago, Deng Leqing and a scholar met by chance, and the exchange of letters between the two turned into a secret recitation of love poems. Deng Leqing cried day and day and pleaded with his father, but it did not move the heart of Master Deng at all, and the two had to make a private agreement for life, and the scholar wanted to take Deng Leqing out of the new city but was discovered by Master Deng, and was beaten to death by Master Deng by mistake.
"So your young lady has been in a state of stupor ever since?" Chifang guessed must have been caused by heartbreak.
"No, although the young lady is sad but it's normal, she just often says that she will never marry again. The maid's words were unexpected, so it seems that Deng Leqing was sad and did not lose his mind.
Speaking of Deng Leqing, it is strange that every time he gets married, the groom will disappear mysteriously, and he will be found nearby in a few days, everyone is unscarred, and for some reason he lost his breath, just like falling asleep and dying.
"So strange, what about your young lady?" Chifang thought she would have some reaction.
The maid shook her head, "No response." She jerked her head up, "But there have been times when I've turned around and heard her say help me." It's just that when I turned around again, I saw her sluggish expression again. ”
"What about your master, have you told him?"
"I said it, but the lord always said that I heard it wrong, the young lady is like this, the lord will choose a son-in-law to marry like before, and our subordinates all say that the lord is a little impersonal. ”
It's unreasonable to say this, if Master Deng chooses a good son-in-law for his daughter's happiness and sets up the first two levels to investigate greed for money and lust, he can understand, but it seems that Master Deng doesn't care about whether his daughter likes it or not, and feels that anyone can do it, so these two levels of testing will be redundant. He frowned, trying to find some clues from the clues, but he couldn't.
Just thinking about it, the maid standing opposite suddenly fainted to the ground, Zhifang looked at the empty room vigilantly, felt that his left shoulder was patted, he turned around, and heard the sound of footsteps behind the right, a flying leg, kicked the other party to the ground, "Eh, you mentally retarded thief, I was kind enough to save you, and you actually kicked me." ”
This was Jin Daiyi's voice, and I saw her take off her invisibility cloak and stand up from the ground, shaking the soil on her body.
"It's okay, why are you here. Chifang hurriedly stepped forward to help her put away her cloak.
"Of course I'm here to save you!"
"How did you find me? and how did you get in?"
A big man has so many questions, Jin Daiyi said impatiently: "There is Zhuqin, she can predict it, not to mention that it is not difficult for me to enter such a small courtyard." ”
Jin Daiyi tidied up her cloak and wanted to leave, but Zhifang didn't move, "Let's go!"
Zhi Fang thought in his heart, if he left like this, it was inevitable that someone would die in the future, so it was better to stay and solve the matter, after making up his mind, he told Jin Daiyi about his thoughts, and the two of them planned again.
The next day, when Mr. Deng was invited to the hall, Zhifang was surrounded by a group of people and came to the hall, only to see Mr. Deng sitting in a precarious position, still with a serious expression.
Zhi Fang bowed his hand, "Master Deng." ”
"I heard that you were not moved by money yesterday, and you were not seduced by women, and you are very dignified. When Master Deng said this, he did not have the slightest sense of relief, but was a little sarcastic.
"The world loves gold and silver beauties, how can I not be moved, just a little uneasy. ”
A sneer flashed at the corner of Master Deng's mouth, and then he returned to seriousness, "Tomorrow is a good day, you should get married as soon as possible for the little girl." ”
"It's not a secret, marriage is a big deal, although Zhifang is an orphan, he has also worshiped a teacher over the years, and he is a teacher for one day and a father for life, I want to invite him to come. Zhifang's words are reasonable, although Master Deng is unwilling, he has no choice but to agree and order someone to invite.
Bai Zifang and his party had already been prepared at the door of Deng's house, so they came quickly, and when they saw Master Deng, Bai Zifang saw that there was something wrong with him.
After Zhifang's introduction, the two took their seats one after another, and Bai Zifang said, "Master Deng is old this year?"
"It's only nearly a hundred, not a long life. "It's true that it's not uncommon for someone with a little spiritual power on the Jade Mirror Continent to live for one or two hundred years, but Bai Zifang feels that this old man Deng looks like he has five hundred between his eyebrows, could it be that he is wrong?
"The apprentice is not talented, and Master Deng loves to recruit him as a son-in-law, but this child and I are used to traveling without restraint, and I am afraid that I will not be able to ......" Master Deng waved his hand to interrupt him, and still said seriously: "Needless to say, since the hydrangea is thrown, I can accept whoever is the son-in-law, and tomorrow is a good day, I think they will get married." ”
Bai Zifang chatted for a while, Master Deng sent someone to clean up the guest room, everyone stayed for the time being, and later, Zhi Fang came to the guest room to discuss tomorrow with Bai Zifang.
There were only Bai Zifang and Jin Daiyi in the house, and the sleeves and Wuqiao were left in the restaurant, Zhu Qin and Lin Xu wanted to go to see Miss Deng Jia first, and as for Yue Ya'er, she didn't know where to hang out, and Bai Zifang didn't care.
"How?" Zhi Fang wanted to ask his master's opinion, and sure enough, Bai Zifang had the same opinion as him, this Deng family mansion was not simple.
"We have inquired before coming, the master of the Deng family is a beast tamer, and he has some ability, but he has not done anything about taming beasts since he got a woman, I just saw that his face is not like nearly a hundred people, I am afraid that he still has spiritual power. As he spoke, Zhuqin and Lin Xu had returned.
"See?" Zhifang had already greeted the little maid, and asked her to pass by the guest room when she took the young lady for a walk.
Lin Xu nodded and said with a solemn expression: "I think this Miss Deng should already be a dead person." ”
As soon as these words came out, Jin Daiyi was very surprised, how could a dead person still be like a living person, could it be like the village chief in a small fishing village who was possessed by scattered spirits?
"Presumably, this Miss Deng should be used as a Horcrux. "Lin Xu has heard people say that if a dying person can retain his soul, he can be resurrected again if he finds a suitable Horcrux in the future, but as a Horcrux person, the soul has been dispersed but the immortal spiritual power must not be returned to the Jade Mirror Continent.
"As far as Brother Lin saw, Miss Deng was already a dead person. There's no chance of life?"
Lin Xu shook his head and said to Zhi Fang: "Miss Deng should still have residual spiritual power on her body, and she is not allowed to allow other people's souls to enter her body, if her spiritual power is exhausted, she will become a real Horcrux." ”
"Then how did she become a Horcrux?" Jin Daiyi was curious, she had never heard of such a method.
"Horcruxes are a kind of secret art, Wuhuan City has long been explicitly prohibited, I didn't expect anyone to use such a method again, this method is very cruel, it is necessary to disperse the soul of the Horcrux candidate first, and then disperse the spiritual power. "Zhifang remembered the groom who died mysteriously before, does it have anything to do with them?
"If you want to dissipate your spiritual power, the person who urges will definitely be counterattacked, and if you put a medium in the middle, you can block the effect of counterattack. ”
Zhifang has already guessed eight or nine, but I don't know who will do it next time Miss Deng is blackmailed, and why do they want to do this? It seems that tomorrow I can only go to find out in person.
