Murong Yao was very surprised and asked, "Are you?" ”

Hao Jiaen didn't answer immediately, only to see him slowly take off his shoes and stretch out his left foot towards Murong Yao, who actually had six toes.

Murong Yao was taken aback again, and asked in disbelief, "Are you?" ”

Hao Jiaen nodded and responded: "The child is the child period. ”

"It's really a sub-period, it's really a sub-period." Murong Yao turned from sadness to joy, stepped forward, took off Hao Ziqi's iron face, and saw that his face was scarred, and it was no longer what he was at the beginning, so he suddenly felt distressed and asked, "Child, what have you been through?" Did the old thief torture you like this? ”

Hao Ziqi shook his head and said, "Uncle, you misunderstood the outsider, instead of harming me, he was my savior." ”

Murong Yao was skeptical and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Hao Ziqi sighed, as if he didn't want to bring up the old things again, but he had to do it, so he only listened to him: "A year ago, I said goodbye to my uncle and returned to my hometown. I didn't know what to do, and I wanted to ask for details, but I was stopped by a stranger out of nowhere. He told me the truth, snuffed out my last hope, and took my soul. ”

Mu Qing asked, "That person is Ding Dushan?" Hao Ziqi nodded.

Hao Chongtian then said: "Early one morning a year ago, the subordinate reported that there was a person lying at the gate. I went out to look, and at first glance, the person seemed to be similar, and when I looked closely, I found that it was a sub-period. Although he had been away from home for nine years, his appearance had not changed much. I carried him into the house and called for all kinds of famous doctors, but they couldn't cure him, and he was unconscious. I didn't give up, I thought of Murong Laosan, so I repaired a book and wanted to invite him over. ”

Murong Yao said with a little shame: "I received the letter, but when I saw that it was sent by you, I burned it without even reading it." ”

Hao Chongtian said: "I don't know this, I only want you to come, so I will take care of the child period while waiting for you." ”

Hao Ziqi said: "Ding Dushan took my soul away, put it in a porcelain vase, and carried it with him. I don't know if he was careless, or if he forgot about me after a long time, he inadvertently revealed the whole conspiracy, and I learned that the cicada clothes were also in his hands. A dead heart suddenly came to life again, I wanted to escape, tried countless times, but failed, and was firmly imprisoned in the porcelain vase. I don't know how many years have passed, suddenly one day, Yin Xian came, Ding Dushan and him disagreed, so he started to move, Yin Xian was not Ding Dushan's opponent, he was defeated. Fortunately, during the fight, Yin Xian accidentally kicked the porcelain bottle away, and as soon as the porcelain bottle broke, I came out. My soul floated to Hao's Mansion, and I wanted to find an outsider, but I didn't want to be sucked away by something as soon as I stepped into Hao's Mansion, and I fainted immediately. When he woke up again, the soul had returned to his body. ”

Hao Chongtian said: "One day half a year ago, Ziqi suddenly woke up, and he said a lot of nonsensical things, I just thought it was nonsense and didn't pay attention to it. But I didn't want that night, Ding Dushan secretly broke into Hao's mansion, intending to plot against Ziji, and it was only then that I believed that what Ziji said was true. ”

Mu Qing asked Ziqi: "It's so easy for Ding Dushan to kill you, how can you avoid it?" ”

Hao Ziqi said: "I expected him to come, so I used medicine in advance to make myself faint to death, and I escaped." But this is only a stopgap measure, and sooner or later it will be discovered. ”

Hao Chongtian said: "So I want to find a stand-in for the child period, that person must be similar in appearance and similar age." ”

Mu Qing pointed at the man in the iron mask and condemned him indignantly: "So you found him and harmed him like this? Even if you have a hard time, it is not right for you to act in this way. ”

Hao Chongtian said: "No, he did it voluntarily. ”

Mu Qing didn't believe it, and asked rhetorically: "How can there be such a stupid person in this world who doesn't even want his own life?" ”

Hao Chongtian said: "He is not stupid, he wants to repay his kindness, and he wants to repay the kindness he owes." ”

Mu Qing was confused and asked, "Who is he?" ”

Hao Ziqi said: "He is Hao Jiaen." ”

Hao Chongtian endured his grief and continued: "You naturally can't understand why I did this, let alone you, even my son Kuiwu, too. After a pause, he said: "Let me tell you a story, more than 20 years ago, I occupied the mountains as the king, fell into the grass as a coward, and lived a precarious life of licking blood from the knife edge. I also thought about washing my hands in a golden basin, especially after having Kuiwu, but I can't help myself when I am in the rivers and lakes. Later, by chance, I robbed my brother-in-law of his property, but instead of resenting me, he repaid my grievances with virtue and saved my wife and family. At that time, my wife happened to have a difficult birth, and I couldn't find the midwife for a while, so my brother-in-law didn't care about the past suspicions, and pulled the two back from the ghost gate. Later, I was grateful for my brother-in-law's kindness, and I was afraid that it would not be safe on the way back to Beijing, so I personally escorted him to the capital. In the capital for several days, almost every day, there were Jiangyang thieves who were escorted into the capital from all over the world, and they had only one ending, which was to be beheaded. This touched me greatly, and from them, it seemed that they foresaw their own fate, and suddenly retreated. My brother noticed my hidden worries, and kept persuading, in order to dispel my concerns, he put all his credit on me, so the emperor praised me and made me a foreigner. Not only that, but my brother was worried about the livelihood of me and my brothers, so he resigned from his official position and took us to grow herbs and run a medicinal herb business, tying the fate of their family to us. The righteous brother is not only kind to me, but also kind to my wife, and even to Wenma Village, this kindness is higher than the sky, deeper than the sea, not to say that it is a family kindness, even if Wenma Village is broken for this, it is difficult to offset one ten-thousandth of his kindness. His words were not so much for everyone to hear, but more like to listen to Hao Kuiwu. Hao Kuiwu was very moved when he heard this, held back his tears, and said to Hao Chongtian: "Father, the child knows that he is wrong. ”

Chu Yi asked Ziqi: "What happened to you?" It turned out to be like this. ”

Hao Ziqi said: "Although Jiaen and I are similar in appearance, but after all, they are not a person, Ding Dushan can naturally identify it, in order to make him unrecognizable, he designed a fire, disfigured, and burned to the appearance of no human ghost or ghost." ”

Chu Yi said: "Hao Jiaen's sacrifice is really big enough. ”

"Wrong" Hao Chongtian disagreed, and said: "Jiaen just paid for his life, but Ziqi gave up a bright future, his handsome appearance, and he had to endure the pain that ordinary people can't bear, it's worse than death, and his dedication is overwhelming." ”

Hao Ziqi said lightly: "As long as you can rescue the cicada clothes, everything is worth it." ”

Chu Yi was deeply moved and said, "With my brother Qing to help, your lady will definitely be able to return safely." ”

Mu Qing asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Hao Ziqi said: "I have already thought of a way to save people, but the time has not yet come, so it is inconvenient to disclose." ”

"I don't know anything." Mu Qing asked, "What is the use of Ding Dushan asking for Murong Chan's clothes?" ”

Hao Ziqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, what he wants is not the cicada clothes, but the fetus in her womb." Seeing everyone's stunned faces, he said, "That's right, Cicada Yi is already pregnant, and she is about to give birth." ”

Hao Ziqi continued: "I also learned later, it turned out that she was pregnant nine years ago, before I went to Beijing. ”

Mu Qing asked: "So a few days ago, you put nine peach pits in front of Murong Chanyi's grave, wanting to hint at her pregnancy?" ”

Hao Ziqi responded: "That's right. ”

Mu Qing asked again: "Then the haunting is also your doing?" ”

Hao Ziqi said: "Yes, thanks to the men, women and children in the village cooperating with me in a play, the purpose is to find a real master who can help me rescue the cicada clothes." ”

Mu Qing said: "But I am not Ding Dushan's opponent, I'm afraid that what you trust is not human." ”

Hao Ziqi said: "I don't want you to deal with Ding Dushan. ”

Mu Qing asked, "So what do you want me to do?" ”

Hao Ziqi said: "Don't be impatient, it's not the time yet, he will tell the truth one day." ”

Mu Qing asked, "Why are you telling me this?" ”

Hao Ziqi said: "Mu Daxia is a smart person, and there are some things that can't be hidden from you." Besides, you are here to help me, and I should treat you with sincerity, and I should not hide it from you. ”

Mu Qing asked, "How do I know if what you said is true or false?" ”

Hao Ziqi said: "Soon, you will know." ”

Suddenly, a sharp knock on the door interrupted the conversation, and a member of the Hao family broke in and said, "The officers and soldiers are here." ”

At this time, the Hao Mansion family and the officers and soldiers confronted each other, refusing to give in to each other, and the war was about to break out.

Hao Chongtian walked out of the crowd and asked Fang Ruhai: "Lord Fang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Fang Ruhai said angrily: "The official hasn't asked you yet, but you asked about me." Let me ask you, what are you doing in the villa? Could it be that he is also here for the treasure? ”

Hao Chongtian smiled slightly and said, "The adults have misunderstood. He gave up, pointed to the piles of Taihu rocks behind him, and said, "Aren't they safe and sound?" Rest assured, I am neither greedy nor short of money, and I promise not to touch them. ”

Fang Ruhai saw that everything was there, so he put his mind at ease, ordered the officers and soldiers to collect their blades, and said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, but outside the staff, why did you come to this place?" ”

At this time, Hao Kuiwu slowly pushed out a four-wheeled car from the back of the crowd, and there was an iron-masked man sitting on the car, Hao Chongtian pointed to the iron-masked man and said: "This is Hao Ziqi, the young owner of the villa, he fell for the tricks of the villains and became what he is today." In order to heal him, I specially invited the imperial doctor Murong Yao from the capital, known as the Holy Hand Yama. Lord Murong said that the three souls of the sub-period have been lost, and the seven souls have been dispersed, maybe this soul was lost in the villa, so he came to look for it. ”

"I see" Fang Ruhai didn't care about Hao Chongtian's explanation, let alone believe it or not, as long as the treasure was still there, he would feel at ease. He casually asked, "Have you found the soul?" ”

Hao Chongtian said with a smile: "I found it, and the person is better, and in about three or five days, it will be all right." ”

Sure enough, the man in the iron mask, who was originally like a stone statue, came to life, his eyes were bright, and his fingers moved slightly. He stared directly at Ding Dushan beside Fang Ruhai, his eyes full of resentment. Ding Dushan discovered the change of the Man in the Iron Mask, and instantly became murderous.

At this time, at the other end of the village, in the ancestral hall that was still crowded, it was empty. I saw that the doors and windows were closed, and the room was dim and dark, but there were only three or two thin rays of light penetrating through the cracks, which not only failed to illuminate the room, but made it even more eerie.

There were also three rattan baskets on the sacrificial table, which were left over after they had just been distributed. Suddenly, after a flash of light, there were only two left.

There is a faint fragrance of flowers wafting in the ancestral hall, which is refreshing and lasts for a long time.
