Chapter 1 Young Master of the Su Family

Next Chapter

Yangzhou City is an antique Yangzhou City, which has been like this for hundreds of years.

The Su family in Yangzhou City is the Su family of the thirteen Jinshi in the ancestors, the Su family who sells salt in Yangzhou City, and the Su family in Thirty Miles of Merin.

Something happened to the Su family in Yangzhou City, and Su Yu, the eldest young master of the Su family, was about to die. It's a pity that a young man who looks good and learns everything, everyone in Yangzhou City says so, I'm afraid that the young master of the Su family insists on learning from the West, which angers the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.

In one of the strangest houses of the Su family, there was only a young lady in a blue shirt sobbing quietly.

The house is a traditional and classical wing, but the windows are stained with French stained glass. Two English crosses hang on the east wall of the house, and a piano is placed under the wall. Ahead was a desk, strewn with countless drawings, unfinished ship designs drawn on paper, and foreign characters next to them that ordinary people could not read.

Miss's large tears rolled down and dripped on a thin, pale hand, whose owner lay on the bed, with empty eyes open and breathless. Who would have thought that such a dying person was the eldest young master of the Su family who was walking on the street with a woman throwing flowers on the street with such a dying man who was a fresh and angry horse a month ago?

"Xinyan, what is that?" The young master squinted at the windowsill and was weak, and a pot of freesia blooming in Ling Han was exuding fragrance.

"Freesia, cousin, I gave you freesias. How well do you see it?" Xinyan bit her red lip and squeezed out a smile.

"It's strange, it's been open for a month in the winter, why are you still so energetic?"

"It's waiting for you to get better, cousin. Xinyan held the thin hand tightly and pressed it to her cheek and cried, "The flowers can hold on, you must be able to, don't leave me ......"

The young master on the bed shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, in the past month, he could clearly perceive that life was moving away from him a little bit at every moment. Today's situation is especially bad, the whole person is in a blur, and I don't know how time passes.

Flowers can survive the winter, it's really better than flowers.

"After I die, you have to make your own decisions, don't worry about my father, if you are wronged, go to Brother Yuzhi, he has participated in the new movement, he is open-minded, and he will take care of your ......" Su Yu's voice became lower and lower, the hollowness in his eyes expanded infinitely, and the thin hand gradually became cold. Xinyan understood that this beautiful son was afraid that the time limit had come, and he couldn't hold on any longer, and she wanted to cry loudly. At this moment, suddenly the door of the room was kicked open, and a middle-aged man with a gloomy face walked in slowly, his eyes were sharp, his eyebrows showed a domineering spirit of life and death, and his robes were on his body, which seemed to be a little heavy. He looked at his son on the bed, a young man who was still alive and vigorous a month ago, with red lips and white teeth, how could he look like a bad old man who was about to die?

A letter from home to deceive his son back from Europe was probably the only wrong thing he did in his life.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, slapped his hand twice, and suddenly broke into the group outside the door. A group of mages holding strange props was followed by a boy in black with a half-moon tattoo on his cuffs.

The half-moon painting of Yangzhou City, the Temple of the God of Wealth in Quzhou City. This is all the Yin and Yang Dao that specializes in killing demons and demons for others! Xinyan's eyes widened, biting her red lip and glaring at the middle-aged man, as if she had suffered great humiliation.

"Uncle! What my cousin hates most is these feudal superstitions, he is still scolding these people in the newspapers all the way away from Europe, don't you yourself educate us to 'be silent and weird', and now you are calling these people into the house, what do you make your cousin think?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand with gloomy eyes, and the two old mothers came up to cover their mouths and twisted her down.

"Gotta give it a try. Suyu is my son after all......"

In the face of death, apart from ghosts and gods, what can parents believe in?

Seeing that Su Cheng's eyes were firm, his heart stopped talking. She grew up in the Su Mansion since she was a child, and she knew very well in her heart that the owner of the twenty commercial houses of the Su family, once she made a decision, she would never change it.

Outside the house, torches were burning in the white snow, and the servants of the Su Mansion had surrounded the house on three floors. Su Cheng gestured his fist at the housekeeper Su Gao. Su Jiao bowed his head slightly, turned around and beckoned to the man. If there are three long and two short, don't think about leaving one of the magic sticks of the painting. Xinyan gave a cold shudder, looked at this cold and resolute middle-aged man, and thought in a daze, "Why didn't you think my uncle was such a ruthless person before?"

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the people of the entire Yangzhou City were listening to the movements of Su Mansion with their ears hung. The bang struck twelve. When he was a child, most of the twelve red lanterns at the gate of the Su family were suddenly blown out by the wind. The east side of the entire Longhua Street suddenly fell into darkness, and the chickens and dogs everywhere became uneasy, and people who walked at night always felt that this night was full of oppressive irritability.

In the center of the Su family's compound, a group of shivering servants surrounded a group of sleepy geese, which had followed the boy. Su Lao muttered in his heart, other people's methods are all with majestic roosters, this group of gods can't do it, dare to mistake the young master's illness. Just thinking about it, all of a sudden the wind and snow stopped, and the chickens and dogs everywhere seemed to be pinched, and there was no sound in the entire Longhua Street. I saw that the geese that had just been confused were alerted one by one, their feathers set up, and they looked left and right, as if they were facing a great enemy. The shivering family members in the snow were also shocked and amazed. Su Gao's heart moved, and he was about to report it, but he saw that the old man was already standing outside the wing room, with a grim expression. The subordinates in the house are whispering, saying that this big goose can detect ghosts, you and I have to be careful, stand in a good position, and let the gods who painted Liaozhai get rid of the demons, so as to save the life of our young master. At this moment, the door of the wing room opened. The mages came out and sat down around the geese, reciting unknown scriptures one by one, and after listening to them for a while, they wanted to sleep, no different from those fake monks in the temple chanting scriptures, and the elders showed disappointed expressions with their necks. It's a good way to put it in the position, why is this sutra so crudely pronounced?

Then the boy came out. Su Cheng hurriedly stepped forward, stood for a long time, and almost fell.

"Boy, how is the child doing?"

I saw the boy say in a clear voice:

"The weirdness on Young Master Su is really powerful, and he is going to use some means. The mage has already begun, this ghost can't escape, and look at my ability to draw and talk about fasting. ”

He also commanded: "When the time comes, pay attention to the movement of the flowers, trees, birds, beasts, and birds in the house, and if there is anything abnormal, even if it is burned." Whoever is sent to the house must also be found out according to the clues. The so-called ******** is to cut the grass and remove the roots. Raise the soup to stop boiling, and draw salary at the bottom of the kettle......"

When Su Cheng heard this, a cold light appeared in his eyes. Su Jiao and the family couldn't help but shudder. This monster killed himself, and he didn't recruit anyone, but he actually found the young master, which can be regarded as provoking the master. Yangzhou City provoked the master, that is not good.

At three o'clock in the appointment, I only heard the urgent voice of the boy in the room:

"It's coming!"

The mages bowed their heads and murmured, and the geese in the courtyard suddenly cried loudly, one after another, high and low, quite rhythmic, like reciting mantras with the mages, very magical. Su Gao's heart tightened, obediently, the master is here. Looking at it with fear, the room was still calm. After a while, a strong wind suddenly stirred up. Someone in the backyard said urgently, "There you have it!"

After a while, someone in the front yard also shouted, "There you have it!"

Then there was a rush of urgency, and the two housekeepers carried a pot of things in their hands. Su Jiao's spirits perked up, and he took a look, but it was the freesia furnished in the house. The flowers that were once in full bloom are now withered, as if they had been dead for a long time.

Su Cheng's face became more and more ugly. It is rumored that the grass and trees in the courtyard of the Su family are particularly prosperous, and the land is also lush in winter, and there must be ominous things such as ghosts. The strangeness of Young Master Su's illness is probably also related to this grass and tree. There are kind people who also come to the door to advise Su Cheng, it is better to believe it than to believe it not. Su Cheng ignored it, thinking that the old gardener in the house took care of it properly. Now it seems that this street rumor also has three points of truth, and he has to believe it.

Su Cheng's eyes showed a fierce color, "Ah Gao, all the freesias planted in the house have been burned for me! The flower farmers who planted flowers have tied me up!"

It turned out that the boy here finished explaining and went back to the wing. Young Master Su Yu was confused and unconscious. Su Yu's mother, Dou Qiuyu, listened to the movement outside the door, looked at her son with a sad face, and peeked at the yellow-haired child-like milky boy, and she had no foundation in her heart.

The boy didn't burn the talisman, only took out a mirror, hung his hand, stopped on Su Yu's forehead, and then said lazily, "Master, you can start." ”

There is no one else in this room, could it be that he is talking to my son? Dou Qiuyu was about to ask. Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the mirror was slightly glowing at first, and then like a crisp sound of a sword out of its sheath, the white mangs grew and shot straight into the eyebrows of the sleeping Su Yu, illuminating the entire room. Dou Shi only felt that his eyes were full of white light, his mind was dizzy, and he couldn't call. In a daze, I heard a voice in the mirror, and said softly,

"Linjiang Yizhao!"

This is the moment of the child.

After a while, Dou woke up in a daze, squinting only to see the boy standing quietly beside him, and Su Yu was still lying with no breath in and out. The ancient mirror on his forehead was still slowly turning, and the white light turned into white again, slowly exhaling, as if the hao light just now was an illusion. Look at the boy again, his eyes closed and motionless. Dou Qiuyu opened his mouth to ask, but the boy only didn't hear it. I reached out to touch him, but I heard a whisper in my ear saying, "Don't move." I'm helping my master get rid of demons. “

Dou Qiuyu was startled and immediately stopped. On closer inspection, the boy still closed his eyes and seemed to have never spoken. I felt strange in my heart, but I felt hopeful, so I had to sit down and chant Buddha in my heart. Helpless, really uneasy, where can I sit still. He turned his ears to the movement in the outer courtyard, and heard only the voices of men, and a flock of geese crowing high and low. Look at the boy who is there in the old god, and I only hope that this painting is really a master of ability. I saved my sons, and I saved themselves. Otherwise, according to the old man's temperament, he should have prepared thugs and already surrounded the house.

At three o'clock, the boy suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "It's coming!" Dou Qiuyu was shocked. Then, I heard the courtyard outside the door bustling, with figures and footsteps. After a while, the geese stopped crowing. Suddenly, the fire was even brighter, as if something had been burned. At this time, I suddenly felt that there was a white light again, and I was dizzy again. Steady his mind and looked at it, only to see that the boy was looking at him with a smile, and the hanging mirror on Su Yu's head was gone. I heard a voice shouting:

"Mother!"

It turned out that Su Yu had woken up and was struggling to get up. Dou Qiuyu hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and looked at it carefully, although his spirit was still sluggish, he gradually heard his strength in his breath. Dou Shi suddenly couldn't hold back two lines of tears, where could he say the words accordingly. At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Su Cheng came in in a hurry.

"How?"

Seeing that Su Yu actually sat up strongly, he was immediately overjoyed.

The boy smiled and said, "Young Master Su is fine, but the calamity has not been broken." ”

When his son saw that he was improving, Su Cheng was relieved. His face also returned to his usual calm look. He arched his hand to the boy and said:

"Painting and chatting is really powerful. I don't know what the gentleman said about this scourge...... Please also send the Buddha to the west, and the contemptible people will be grateful. ”

But when he saw the boy waving his hand and laughing,

"I'm just the master's bookboy. When to remove the calamity is up to the master. It's just that the things in Young Master Su's room, please don't act rashly. ”

After speaking, he bowed his hand and said:

"It's all right tonight, come back tomorrow. ”

Su Cheng and Dou Qiuyu were concerned about Su Yu, and surrounded them to ask for their strengths and weaknesses; Suddenly, Dou Shi came to his senses, grabbed Su Cheng and said:

"Don't go and evacuate the people outside the house. Don't be seen, for if we have sinned with our hearts, it will not be good. This painting is a real immortal, and the glorious light just now shows the ability to kill demons. ”

The housekeeper Su Luonuo agreed, and made a gesture to tell three or five people to hurry up. Su Cheng held on to his doubts:

"Haoguang? I didn't see any movement outside the room, and I was in a hurry for a long time. ”

The straight Dou was dumbfounded.

The parents looked at Su Yu in unison, Su Yu was stunned for a while, and then said: "I only had a dream and came back, and there is a bright light in the dream......

What bronze mirror Su Yu hung the boy didn't know. He was only tormented in a daze, and walked into a sea of flowers in a trance, and he liked and felt uncomfortable with the fragrance of flowers, and he couldn't get out of the way. It was as if there was a woman's whispering voice, one moment wary and afraid, and the other time affectionate and loving. It's muddy, and I'm getting tired. Gradually, the surroundings were barren, the sea of flowers floated in the distance, and a voice called in the distance, Su Yu was attracted to walk over, and loved that voice in his heart. After walking for a while, there was no sound, no sea of flowers, and even the barrenness was lost. Su Yu felt extremely sleepy and wanted to close his eyes, but found that he couldn't close his eyes. When I looked at myself, my arms and body were gone, and I only noticed that there was a vast cloud of light covering me, and the light was getting weaker and weaker. Later, there was no light, and there was endless darkness everywhere. Su Yu suddenly came to his senses, I am afraid that he is going to die! Suddenly, countless emotions gushed out, and the infinite things of his life were replayed. When I was a child, I beat my master, smashed temple fairs, ignored the dissuasion to study in the West, ran a newspaper, and carried forward science, and countless grand plans were about to come to naught. Later, my mind slowly calmed down, and only my father's stick and my mother's face remained. Su Yu even felt like he wanted to hold on to the stick that he hated so much. The next moment, I don't remember anything. Su Yu just wanted to cry. Is it really going to die? Is this going to die?

As he howled, an incandescent moon suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

Could this be the passage to death? Su Yu was thinking in a daze.

Suddenly, I heard a playful voice from the moon.

"What a stupid idiot, I can't stand it. ”

Su Yu was stunned.

"Do you want to live?" the voice asked.

Su Yu heard it clearly, and his heart was sour. There is a longing that sprouts like sprouts from the mud of spring. Alive, alive, who doesn't want to live? Although he understands that he has no skills to return to heaven and pretends to leave with peace of mind, who can not hate? He is so young, there are still too many things to do, too many scenery to see, too much love to repay, if he dies like this, how can he be willing?

The resentment in his heart gradually grew, as if a fire was about to burst out of his chest.

Su Yu broke out of his blocked throat and screamed desperately: "I want to live......"

After exhausting his vitality in a word, Su Yu only felt that his body had become extremely light, as light as flying flotsam, so light that he was about to float. At this time, all the sounds in the ears disappeared, only a sharp whistle, such as the roar of a tiger in the mountains and the roar of a dragon in the water, which shook the surrounding furnishings and buzzed. The whistling sounded as if the east was white, and a soft ray of sunlight shone in. Su Yu opened his eyes, saw his mother's anxious face, shouted, and couldn't stop crying. At this time, the hearing of the rear ears gradually returned to normal, and I found that the whole big house was noisy, and a chicken dog barked wildly, which was very lively. Looking at the candlelight in the hall again, it is clear that it is still night. It turned out that the light I saw was from the mirror.

The fright subsided for a while, and Su Yu suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice whispering softly in his ear:

"You are destined to be a person, please come back. ”

The voice is childish and clear, but Su Yu sounds like a morning bell at dusk, sweeping away the chaos and hardship in his heart, refreshing in his mind, and the spiritual platform is clear. Su Yu hurriedly searched around following the sound, and saw a boy walking towards the front yard surrounded by family members from a distance.
