Chapter 286: Back then
Xuan Bao frowned after stepping forward to inspect it, she felt that the various breaths on the old marquis's body quickly disappeared with the dissipation of the black smoke, and when the smoke dissipated, he was also gone.
"Old woman, I'm sorry for you, you've endured too much over the years." The old marquis said intermittently.
"Don't say it, I know, you can't help yourself." Mrs. Xiao burst into tears, "It's useless to regret it now." ”
"Yes, I regret it, I'm a ghost and listened to the slander of the national teacher." The old marquis smiled bitterly, "Thinking that if you can really succeed, long live my emperor." ”
"Grandfather, why are you like this?" Xuan Bao thought for a moment and asked directly, because if he didn't ask again, he was afraid that he would not have a chance.
The old marquis sighed and told all the things of the year, the cause is the same as what Xiao Lao Taijun said, in order to prolong his life, the first emperor overheard the national teacher mention that the master has a soul exchange technique, so everything naturally began to plan from that time.
The loyal old marquis did not hesitate to provide a venue, and he took the lead in trying the soul exchange technique for the national teacher, and many small people around him became victims at that time.
Later, according to the national teacher, he was already eighty percent sure, and the old marquis thought about it, and the most suitable candidate was Lao Zhou, who was serving him personally.
"Grandfather and Lao Zhou have changed souls?" Xuan Bao frowned slightly, "Did there be any accidents?" ”
"Yes, there was an accident, he didn't blink his eyes, he had a deep resentment, and he became a powerful ghost in an instant, and my three souls and six spirits vaguely had symptoms of leaving the body and couldn't completely return to their places."
Xuanbao's expression was solemn: "The national teacher helped you suppress Lao Zhou's ghost, you went to Tianlong Temple and deceived the old monk to get the bluestone slab in the backyard." ”
"You are so smart, you actually guessed most of it right, I didn't deceive the old monk, it was the national teacher who deceived me. He said that there were many powerful ghosts in the palace, and it happened to be suppressed together with Lao Zhou, where the dragon qi was shrouded. ”
"But Lao Zhou said that his body was suppressed at the bottom of the lake." Xuan Bao sneered, "And Aqing is also in the lake." ”
"That's right, after Lao Zhou, it will be Aqing."
Xuan Bao's little face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost: "What's the matter with my eldest brother and Xiao Youduo?" ”
The old marquis smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect the national teacher to hit the two of them with his idea, and by the time I knew it, the two of them had already changed their souls." ”
"With my eldest brother's body, how did Xiao Youduo become a demon?"
The old marquis sighed and said, "I didn't expect that child to be so obsessed. ”
Regarding Xiao Youduo's obsession, Xuan Bao knew a little bit about it, and the little doll pretended to be old and bowed slightly to show that he understood.
"You bad old man, you hurt yourself, not to mention, you hurt my grandson." There was resentment in Mrs. Xiao's tone that couldn't be hidden, "You tell me clearly, what's going on with Xiao Liao?" ”
"Grandmother, don't be angry, some things may not be what you think in your heart, maybe you can't help yourself, maybe you have to suffer."
Hearing Xuanbao's words, the old marquis sighed: "You little doll is really smart, Xiao Liao is no longer Xiao Liao, he has imprisoned me in this painting all these years, and I can't get out of the West Cross Courtyard." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a long time before coming back to her senses: "You said that Xiao Liao is not Xiao Liao, so where is my son Xiao Liao?" ”
"I don't know, I really don't know."
"Grandmother, calm down." Xuan Bao held Xiao Taijun's hand and comforted, "Who is Xiao Liao now?" ”
"He said he was a national teacher."
"He said he was?" Xuan Bao immediately grasped the key to his words, "Even if you can't be sure if he is a national teacher?" ”
"Yes." In addition to the vaguely visible face, the old marquis's body has become more and more transparent, and it looks like it will disappear anytime and anywhere.
Old Taijun Xiao couldn't help but clench Xuanbao's little hand, with a pleading voice in his voice: "Xuanbao." ”
The little doll shook her head slightly: "Grandmother, there is no way. ”
"Old woman, I know my own business. Over the years, I have devoured many living beings to maintain my vitality, and God cannot tolerate such an evil existence as me in this world. ”
Old Mrs. Xiao couldn't hold back crying anymore: "It's been more than ten years, I thought I couldn't see out of sight, but I didn't expect you to make yourself disappear after all, leaving my old woman and leaving first." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault." The old marquis turned to Xuanbao, "Is there anything you want to ask?" ”
"What's the secret at the bottom of the lake?" Xuan Bao asked directly.
The old marquis let out an extremely loud wheezing sound, as if he was about to run out of breath, Xuanbao did not urge him to wait quietly.
"I don't know very well, it's just that when the national teacher took Lao Zhou away from under the bluestone slab, I vaguely heard that the souls of the two were trapped together."
"That means that there is another person at the bottom of the lake besides Lao Zhou's bones." Xuan Bao was thoughtful.
At this time, Mrs. Xiao cried, Xuanbao looked over, and saw that the black smoke had dispersed and the old marquis's true face was revealed, majestic but elegant, looking familiar and thinking about several brothers were more or less similar to him.
"Old woman." The old marquis looked at Xiao and the old lady was full of affection on his face.
In the blink of an eye, the old marquis disappeared, and the old lady Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to try to grab something, but he didn't catch anything.
Looking at the tearful grandmother, Xuanbao didn't know how to comfort her, and the little doll could only reach out and gently pat her back to express her concern.
After a long time, Mrs. Xiao came back to her senses and wiped away her tears, the tears were still on her face, but her eyes were sharp, and she obviously regained her composure.
"Xuanbao." Old Taijun Xiao grabbed Xuanbao's hands.
"Grandmother don't worry, this is my home, you are my family, Xuanbao will definitely do his best."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, they are not my sons, nor my grandsons, you don't have to scruple." ”
"Okay." Xuan Bao nodded solemnly.
There was a noisy sound of footsteps outside, the enchantment had been withdrawn, Xuan Bao looked up, pulled up Old Taijun Xiao and quickly retreated.
"Grandmother! Xuanbao! Several brothers of the Xiao family who rushed to hear the news exclaimed in unison.
When they rushed into the West Cross Courtyard and arrived, they happened to see Xuan Bao pulling Xiao Lao Taijun out of the study.
At this moment, the study, including the Qimei Hall in the main courtyard of the West Cross Courtyard, suddenly collapsed, and the brothers watched the house fall, and Xuan Bao and Xiao Lao Taijun were pressed inside.
The extremely loud noise, coupled with the dust and smoke, made it difficult to see clearly.
The Xiao brothers couldn't even scream with wide eyes, their lovely sister, their beloved grandmother, it's over, it's really over.
With such a big movement in the West Cross Courtyard, all the people in the entire Hou Mansion ran here, and the county lord of Rouping also came here with the support of Mama Ying.
