I haven't practiced the secret art yet, so I can't urge the runes on the life-seeking sign like Ye Sanqi and kill the two ghosts on the spot. However, it's not that I don't have other means to deal with the old couple of the Mu family.

I raised my hand and shot two sleeve arrows and nailed Master Mu's wrist.

Old Lady Mu rolled and shouted, "Quick, kill that." Otherwise, the sky will be in danger. Kill that! ”

Master Mu dragged his hand back like crazy, but was nailed to the ground by the two sleeve arrows that were not as long as chopsticks. But under the repeated roars, Master Mu pulled his wrist open.

If this continues, it won't be long before he can pull his hands off and fight with me again with his two bare arms.

At that moment, I did feel a little unbearable in my heart.

Whether Old Man Mu is good or bad, I can't evaluate. However, his heart to protect his son is true. Even if he knew that the enemy he faced could wipe him out at any time, he still had to gamble on the almost non-existent glimmer of life.

However, I quickly left that impatience behind.

The rivers and lakes are not places where you are allowed to be soft-hearted, and no one will put down the butcher's knife because of your crying, if you can't break through this fallen leaf village, I will die like Ye Sanqi.

I can't take the lives of our master and apprentice to show mercy.

When Master Mu was about to break free of his sleeve arrow, the life-seeking lottery finally burst out of its due power, and the fire on the stick brought up a sky-high momentum in an instant, covering the two dried corpses, and the human skin that was incinerated into ashes by the fire could no longer support the corpses that burned several feet of flames, and the corpses with flames fell to the ground one by one, and the two ghosts burst into flames in front of me.

Old Lady Mu struggled desperately and shouted, "Let the sky go...... Spare it! He's a good boy......"

Old Madam Mu wanted to ask Young Master Mu for a way out, but it was too late, and she turned into ashes before I could speak.

I walked over to the frightened maid Cui'er: "Tell me, what's going on with this courtyard?" ”

Cui'er said in a trembling voice, "Young Master...... The young master knows how to spell...... This yard is what he laid out. ”

"Young Master Mu knows spells!" I was shocked, "Who taught him his spells, and what did he do with this courtyard?" ”

"I don't know!" Cui'er said: "Master, madam, in order to prevent the young master from meeting Shiqing, Zhuangzi, who has been locking him outside, let him study with peace of mind. However, the young master came back almost every night and quietly hid in the yard to arrange things. ”

"Only the housekeeper knows about this."

"Young master, I don't know how I used to persuade the housekeeper to help him get some things back. The housekeeper always did as he told him to buy things and put them in the yard. In the evening, the young master came back to decorate the house. ”

"I also learned this secret when I accidentally bumped into the housekeeper hiding something in the yard. The housekeeper repeatedly warned me not to tell the story. If the young master's business is ruined, he will kill people. ”

"I can feel that the housekeeper is very scared of the young master. I didn't dare to ask more about the rest. ”

I never thought that the young master of the Mu family would be an extremely clever warlock.

The Ninth Prince told me that it is difficult for a person who has not cultivated since childhood to become a master of the art path. This Young Master Mu, could it be that he has already apprenticed to learn art?

The old couple of the Mu family don't know that Young Master Mu has learned secret arts?

I asked, "Does Young Master Mu know about spells?" ”

"I don't know!" Cui'er said: "The old lady wants the Mu family to study the heirloom, and the old man has always hoped that the young master will be an official and glorious lintel, and they will not agree to the young master to learn spells." ”

"Master, madam, I have always disagreed with the young master marrying Shiqing, in addition to the strange way of poetry, but also because they don't want the young master to have a relationship with the warlock, which affects his future."

I couldn't help but nod when I heard this: from Master Mu's point of view, his concerns were reasonable.

Since ancient times, there has been a delicate relationship between the imperial court and the warlocks. In the view of Confucianism, warlocks are all pretending to be gods and ghosts, and gossips to confuse the public, and once they become bigger, they will inevitably cause chaos. Therefore, whoever has a warlock, even if it is just an ordinary fortune teller, no one in this family is allowed to gain fame within at least three generations. This is tantamount to cutting off the warlock's path to office.

Even if the imperial court needs to solve some problems, the first choice is monks and Taoist priests, and they will not contact the charlatans unless they have to.

However, the warlocks rejected by the imperial court did not include the descendants of Qimen. As for the reason, Ye Sanqi and the Nine Princes have not told me.

From this point of view, whether it is from Young Master Mu himself or from the descendants of the Mu family, Master Mu will not allow her to marry Shiqing.

I asked, "Master Mu didn't dare to provoke the people behind the matter, so he came up with a way to get rid of the poetry secretly?" What is that Yanghuagou place? ”

Cui'er said: "I don't know what the master thinks, he won't tell us about these things." ”

"Yanghuagou is a famous evil place in this vicinity. I heard that Yanghuagou is haunted, anyone who walks nearby can encounter ghosts hitting the wall, if it turns out of Yanghuagou, it can be better, if you turn inside, you have to be thrown out by ghosts, and you have to get seriously ill when you go home, and you have to lose half your life if you don't die. ”

I understand that Yanghuagou should be the mountain gate of a certain Shudao sect, and they don't want to be disturbed, so they came up with a formation similar to "ghost hitting the wall".

When poetry came to the Mu family, why it was a matter of the dead sending relatives to the living can be explained.

I asked again, "What about the young master of the Mu family?" Where is he? ”

"I don't know!" Shiqing shook his head and said: "Since the marriage of Zhang Luo of the Mu family, the lord and the wife have said that the young master is back, but no one in the Mu family has ever seen the young master. We all thought that the old man and the wife were deliberately lying in order to deceive the poet. No one took it seriously. ”

"I also think that the eldest young master is not in the Mu family, otherwise, there would be such a big incident in the Mu family that day, why did the young master never show up."

The words of the maid Cui'er are somewhat credible. It stands to reason that the young master of the family is also a person who can take charge of things in the family, and when a major event occurs in the family, the master and the young master have to discuss a thing or two, the Mu family has reached the moment of great disaster, can the young master of the Mu family still sit steadily?

I hurriedly asked, "Let me ask you, who hid your body in Young Master Mu's courtyard?" ”

"It's Mr. Yin and Yang!" Cui'er replied, "What are you still talking about after he dragged our corpses in, the young master of the Mu family is really a good means to deceive all of us...... You won't let me live, and I won't make you better...... I should leave your parents behind and let the people in Yangshugou kill them. That's your retribution. ”
