Chapter 36: The Art of Witchcraft

Huo Jiuge saw that this matter spread quickly, and early the next morning, Old Man Huo learned from the housekeeper what happened last night.

After listening, the old man was startled, and immediately summoned them to come over for questioning.

Huo Jiuge, who had been tossing all night, almost waited until it was almost dawn before she fell asleep, so when she was summoned by the old man, because she didn't rest well, her face was haggard, which made her originally young face a little sickly.

When the old man saw her, her already small slap face was even thinner, and her eyes were also dim, and the old man felt distressed for a while, and it was hard to believe how she had survived these days.

"Don't be afraid, child, with grandpa here, no one dares to do anything to you." He comforted Huo Jiuge and let her say everything she had seen before.

Perhaps this was the first time he had spoken to himself with such an attitude, Huo Jiuge listened to it with a sour nose, and then said everything he had dreamed of.

"I dreamed of my father's mother, my father said that he was cold, and my mother asked me to find someone with a snake tattoo on his hand." Huo Jiuge looked frightened, and his voice was soft and glutinous.

The old man asked Huo Jiuge on this side, and someone on the other side ran over in a hurry.

"Panther, look for ...... Got it. "This person is the little guy next to the old man, and the panther in his mouth is a dog raised in the house.

When the old man was young, there was a fire in the house, and it was a dog who risked death to save him from the fire, and since then the old man Huo has regarded the dog as a sacred object.

The black panther in the mouth of the next is Huo Jiuge's brother Huo Chengqi specially prepared a gift for him on his sixtieth birthday, the black panther is a unique dog from Beidi, the whole body is black, and the face is fierce, with strong combat effectiveness and attack power.

It can often be seen when the two armies are fighting.

This kind of black panther is Huo Chengqi's victory in a battle, originally this kind of dog is the most unruly, but in his hands it seems extremely obedient.

knew that his grandfather liked to raise dogs, so Huo Chengqi raised this kind of dog as a birthday gift to Mr. Huo.

In addition to being a birthday gift, this dog is also a symbol of the glory of the Huo family, and in the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty, except for his own hands, even the royal family can't find a second one.

Old Man Huo loves dogs, especially this dog named Black Panther.

But the dog disappeared suddenly a few days ago, no matter how he looked for it, there was no news, but today it suddenly appeared, Old Man Huo was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked someone to bring it over.

"The panther found it, but ...... But ......" the other party swallowed the words that were about to be said back into his mouth several times.

Old Man Huo looked at the little guy's desire to speak and stopped, and then glanced at the thin Huo Jiuge, thinking that there was something involved.

He lowered his face and asked, "What the hell is going on here?" ”

"You, you'd better go and see for yourself......" The little guy looked unspeakable, they were the black panther found in Guangling Hall, and when they found it, they saw it lying in a pit.

Guangling Hall was the courtyard where General Huo Xin lived during his lifetime, and since he and his wife died, that courtyard has been empty.

And what scared them was that they found something in the pit where the panther was lying.

When Old Man Huo walked over, they took out the things in the pit and showed him to see them.

The moment he saw that thing, the old man's eyes instantly turned black, and in the midst of everyone's exclamations, he fell to the ground heavily, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his granddaughter prick himself with a needle.

He was caused by the sudden excitement of his emotions, which caused the cerebral blood vessels to be blocked, but fortunately, Huo Jiuge arrived in time, otherwise his situation would be very dangerous.

However, compared to Huo Jiuge's medical skills, he is now more concerned about the two scarecrows with the birthdays of his son and daughter-in-law written on them.

"What is this? Where did it come from? "In addition to writing their birthdays, the scarecrow is also full of steel needles, and they are pierced everywhere.

Witchcraft has always been forbidden, but now it appeared in his mansion in a grand manner, looking at the blackened and rotten scarecrow, he couldn't imagine how long this kind of thing had existed.

If this matter spreads, it is estimated that the entire Rongguo Mansion will suffer.

Seeing that the matter was too big, the subordinates didn't dare to hide anything, "Back to the master, this is what we found in the pit dug by the black panther, and it is in the courtyard of Guangling Hall." ”

Listening to his words, the old man almost fainted again, but Huo Jiuge called him in time.

"The person who can put this kind of evil thing in the mansion must hate the Rongguo Mansion and his father and mother very much!" Huo Jiuge looked at the two scarecrows and gritted his teeth, as if there was a flame jumping in his eyes.

No one can be calm in such a situation, especially if it has something to do with the death of their parents.

Old Man Huo immediately called everyone in the house to the main hall for questioning.

Because of the rain last night, the Qin family had already developed a high fever when she returned to her yard, but when she got the old man's order, she didn't dare to have any delay.

All the people gathered together, including Huo Ren's aunts, and a group of children, and some even Huo Jiuge felt that they were faced, that was because Old Man Huo was the most particular about his concubines, respect and inferiority, except for some important occasions, he rarely went to see other people.

So when he gave the order to let everyone come, everyone was shocked, and thought that something important had happened in the house.

The Huo family was originally a small family in Cangzhou, relying on the efforts of the ancestors to squeeze into the prosperous capital, and after two generations of efforts, there are today's achievements, which is based on a military merit of General Huo Xinhuo.

Now it has been found that someone is deliberately using witchcraft, how can this make the old man angry? Especially combined with Huo Jiuge's dream, he was even more convinced that the death of Huo Xin and his wife was not an accident.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, he asked someone to take out the things.

Originally, everyone didn't know what he meant, but when they saw the two scarecrows, everyone was shocked.

The timid immediately burst into tears; Some of the people standing behind did not see clearly, and they had to stand on tiptoe and lean forward; Some people are quick to cover their children's eyes.

"Mother, what are you doing? I want to see! Huo Changqi, who was still young, was fluttering in his mother's arms, saying that he wanted to see what it was.

"Be good, obedient! Don't make a fuss. The third aunt was patiently coaxing him.

But the child made a lot of noise, the more he said not to let him do something, the more he wanted to do it, the third aunt couldn't make trouble with him, so he could only let him go, but when he saw the things on the ground as he wished, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only hug his mother and ask for comfort.
