197. What is she hiding?
When Xie Zheng heard this, he didn't say anything polite to her, so he told her about the abnormality that she and Xie Xun could smell the smell of corpses, but she didn't expect the head of the female family to hear it, and her face changed.
"What?! You can smell it, too? ”
Xie Zheng: "? ”
What does that mean?
"Could it be... Can you smell it when you're alive? ”
The female head of the family nodded solemnly: "That's right, not only that, I am a mere mortal, I have neither a spiritual root nor a sword bone, but I can see ghosts." ”
Xie Zheng was really at a loss now.
Even if it is a cultivator, not everyone can see ghosts, and they either specialize in such spells or cultivate extremely high.
"Ancestor, can you find out the reason for this?"
If a person has a different kind of talent, it is impossible to find no trace, and he will definitely be able to find some clues.
The female head of the family shook her head, with some regret: "I am still in good health, but because of this short life, I only lived less than forty-five years old. ”
After a pause, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "After all, I am only a mortal, and I may not be able to bear it, but I see that you are all unusual cultivators, and you must be able to have a great creation with the gift given by this heaven and earth." ”
After she finished speaking, she glanced at her father with great nostalgia, and the figure faded away, leaving no time for them to say goodbye.
After the female head of the family dissipated, the soul of the second generation of the head of the family soon disappeared.
The two spirit runes burned out, Xie Zheng put away his long sword, and the stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.
After being silent for a long time, she suddenly showed a smile: "Now that I think about it, being able to smell the smell of corpses is actually not a very serious problem, if it can't be solved, use it to do something good for the human world." ”
When Xie Xun heard this, he also nodded and agreed with her words.
Ciyin didn't speak, just looked down at the Xie family's genealogy, looked at it for a moment, and then sighed and shook her head: "This female head of the family died in the riot of the displaced people at that time, not some short-lived life. ”
Xie Zheng took the family tree and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned, it's no wonder that she didn't see it with bad eyes, this is the fourth generation of the head of the family who thanked her mother before she died, otherwise who knows how she died?
"But there's no need for her to lie about it."
And there is no benefit.
Hearing her words, Ciyin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, suddenly hooked the corners of her lips, and said with a smile: "Perhaps, she is hiding something for some people, and she doesn't want us to continue to investigate?" ”
"Someone?" Xie Zheng frowned, "Did you find anything?" ”
Ciyin didn't answer her question, but only asked softly, "Are you still sleepy now?" ”
Xie Zheng: "? ”
Does it have anything to do with whether she is sleepy or not?
Seeing that she was puzzled, Ciyin smiled and said, "If you are not sleepy, let's go to the Xie family ancestral hall to have a look, maybe we will find something." ”
Xie Zheng didn't react after hearing this, but Xie Xun refused to agree at first glance.
"You... You are not married, you monk, still want to enter our Xie family ancestral hall? ”
Xie Zheng: "?? ”
She rolled her eyes speechlessly, ignored Xie Xun, held the family tree in one hand and Ciyin in the other, and the two walked in the direction of the Xie family ancestral hall together.
Xie Xun was thrown behind, obviously a little angry: "Sure enough, the old saying is right, the female eldest is not staying, Xie Zheng, you just turned your elbow outward, did you put your own brother in your eyes?" ”
It is completely different from the daytime, at night, the Xie family ancestral hall is gloomy, and there is no place where light and shadow shine in, as if it is filled with a faint layer of black fog.
Seeing this, Xie Zheng suddenly sighed a little: "Alas, it would be nice if Zhaozhao was here." ”
Hearing this, Ciyin gently pinched her fingertips: "Zhao Zhao is not here, I can also be here." ”
Xie Xun, who stepped into the ancestral hall later: "......"
"What can you do, you can, since you already knew that there was a problem, why didn't you point it out when the ancestor said it?"
Ciyin glanced at him, the expression on her face did not change in the slightest, and said with a faint smile: "No matter how you say it, it is also the ancestor of the Xie family, and it is somewhat impolite to interrupt her to speak rashly." ”
Besides, he could feel that the old ancestor, at least to Xie Zheng and Xie Xun, had no malice, and even lying was a white lie in a sense.
After entering the ancestral hall, the three of them didn't say anything more.
When I was a child, I didn't find it when I was in the Xie family, but now that I have returned to the Xie family again, Xie Zheng inexplicably feels that this ancestral hall is full of unspeakable weirdness.
Looking around, she frowned, couldn't help but poke Xie Xun's arm, and asked, "Has the yin qi in the Xie family ancestral hall always been so heavy?" ”
Hearing her words, Xie Xun was obviously stunned, and said: "How do I know this, our ancestor worship is also carried out during the day, who is okay like you, running to the ancestral hall in the middle of the night?" ”
Xie Zheng thought to himself, it was not obvious during the day, but now at night, this ancestral hall is really gloomy, and it is not much different from the underworld of the Nine Shadows.
A few people wandered around a few rooms, checked a lot of spiritual positions and relics, but did not find anything abnormal, Xie Zheng simply dragged Ciyin, stood on tiptoe to his ear, deliberately exerted a little mana, and asked in a voice that Xie Xun couldn't hear: "About the Xie family, do you have any special memories?" ”
I don't know if it was because of the joy of her sudden approach, or if Xie Zheng's question was asked in my heart, in short, Ciyin raised her lips and smiled, and followed her example, leaned over, and whispered: "Xie family, it's even more powerful than you think." ”
Seeing the two of them biting their ears and flirting in front of him, Xie Hyun had a blank expression on his face, and said in disgust: "You guys can stop in moderation!" This is the ancestral hall of the Xie family! ”
Xie Zheng turned his head and glanced at him: "You care about me, if you can't get used to it, you can go first, no one asks you to stay here." ”
Xie Hyun: "......"
Damn, this is his stinky sister who has no conscience!
Xie Hyun glared at her hatefully, and then turned to leave, slamming the door of this ancestral hall.
Hearing his footsteps fading away, Xie Zheng let go of Ciyin's arm, casually shot out a spiritual power, closed the gate, and laid down a layer of isolation formation.
Then he took out two chairs from the mustard seed bag, picked one and sat on it.
"Okay, Xie Hyun has been angry with me, you can tell me about the Xie family now."
With a shallow smile on her face, Ciyin shook her head slightly, as if she disagreed with her behavior: "After all, he is your brother, and if you always say these words, he will be sad to listen to them." ”
Xie Zheng suddenly laughed: "You guy, you really don't know what to do, why do you still talk for him, then let me ask you, when he scolds you, are you sad?" ”
Ciyin was slightly stunned, but reacted immediately, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were smiles that could not be hidden.
"I'm not sad, what am I sad about."
As long as he saw her alive in front of him, laughing or making trouble, just like that, there was nothing in this world that was worthy of his sadness.
