Prologue
"The daughter of Xu Mansion in the south of the city is dying, I heard that I was stunned and ignorant of things years ago, and Master Xu searched for famous doctors all over the world but couldn't cure it, and now people are speechless."
In front of the prefect of Jinxi City, two young officials in official uniforms were idle and chattering about the rumors they had just heard.
"Yo, I only knew that something happened to the Xu Mansion before, but I didn't know that things were so big?"
The little official with a goatee said: "Listen to my old wife in the Xu Mansion Yafang, the house is now planning to invite Taoist cultivators, then what do you think, what are the Taoist priests clearing, it is really getting more and more evil, in the future, this Xu Mansion has to go around the road, otherwise it will cause something and the family will be finished." ”
The big-headed and honest little official responded: "The Xu Mansion is going to change the sky, I will tell my mother-in-law when I go back today, and I will not go to the south of the city in the future."
"Shut up for me, the government raised you so that you are all here to chew the root of your tongue? Don't say a few words, this is heard, what is lost is the prestige of the government, and they don't want to die one by one! ”
At this time, the head catcher in the house came from inside and shouted.
The two little officials shrank their heads, and the original lazy and sparse discussion also stopped abruptly, and the head catcher was also very clear about what they were discussing, looking at the location of the Xu Mansion in the south of the city, sighing and shaking his head, the world is impermanent.
Everyone in the world knows that this mother-in-law likes to talk about family life, but once the matter is mysterious, even the old men can't help but start to talk about it curiously, and even the errand workers who do things under the government are unavoidable.
The matter also spread rapidly in the streets and alleys, and in the blink of an eye, things developed to the disaster of the Xu Mansion, and the only young lady was going to die of illness.
It is the alternation of spring and summer, at twilight, under the afterglow of the sunset, the breeze also begins to turn cold, in front of the boudoir of Miss Xu Zhiyi, Miss Xu Fu, the little girls are immersed in boiling medicine, the courtyard is full of medicinal fragrance, and everyone's expressions and movements do not seem anxious and hurried.
It is rumored that Miss Xu at the center is sitting on a recliner with her eyes closed, holding an incense stove in her hand, covered with an embroidered quilt, and although her face is pale, it is not as lingering as the outside world rumores.
The ginseng tea on the table was cold and changed, but she still fell asleep quietly, as if she just slept forever and never woke up again.
Seeing that it was getting late, the maid beside her called her young lady softly, but there was no response, as usual, she could only change the thin quilt to thicken, and then close the window to prevent the master from catching a cold.
At this time, there were gradually voices outside the courtyard, led by the second elder of the Xu family, followed by a man dressed as a monk, with only a peach tree branch on his hair, dressed in coarse cloth white, and a cyan coat on the outside, embroidered with light mist and clouds, hazy and hazy like a fairy, and the feet were also ordinary cloud shoes of the same style, and there was no other dress.
The man's face is very upright, with sword eyebrows and apricot eyes, a tall nose bridge, a thin lip flap, and dark brown eyes that show indifference in the blink of an eye.
The man was followed by a group of maids, and a group of people rushed towards Xu Zhiyi's Ruyi Pavilion.
"Shen Daochang, this is the little girl's courtyard, the little girl's weakness and fatigue The old man searched all over the doctor, everything he said was the same, but the disease of qi deficiency had no reason, there was no cure, he could only rely on tonic medicine to survive, the little girl fell asleep day by day, seeing that the waking time was getting shorter and shorter, there was really no way to go to Qingfeng Mountain to invite the Taoist chief, if it got better, the old man would be very grateful."
It was the master of Xu Mansion who spoke, and the lady beside him wiped her tears with a towel while listening, and her anxiety was overflowing. For a while, the whole Xu Mansion looked at this last hope with expectant eyes, and Shen Xi sank.
Shen Xi lowered his eyes slightly, leaned over and said: "Master Xu, everything in the world has cause and effect, I should do my best, and the rest depends on Miss Xu's own creation, although I am a cultivator, I am indeed still a man, it is inconvenient to visit Miss Xu's boudoir rashly, I will visit with spiritual sense, I hope the old lady will forgive me, but there are many people, and the rest of the people need to leave temporarily." ”
After speaking, Master Xu gave an order, and the maidens in the courtyard left the small courtyard one after another, and after Xu Zhiyi was the only one left in the house, Shen Xi closed his eyes and sank his eyes, and placed a seal with one hand in front of his eyes.
"Psychics, open!"
After a shout, I saw an indescribable momentum suddenly rise around Shen Xishen's body, and everyone around was intimidated by this momentum, so they just waited in place, not daring to speak.
Soon, Shen Xishen's spiritual sense covered the entire house, only the faint soul in the main room, it was indeed the same as the situation I had known before, the soul was intact, and the body was also intact, and it was not caused by external injuries.
And the girl raised in the boudoir, the soul is relatively pure, and she has not been contaminated by the evil spirit in the world, and now the spirit is weak but not dissipated, but it is impossible to bear it if she continues to be so laissez-faire, and sooner or later there will be a big event.
After Shen Xishen manipulated his spiritual sense and felt it carefully for a while, he found that this state of soul seemed to be sucked into life by something, but the donor did not have any pain and unwillingness, as if she was willing to provide her own life force, just like a pregnant woman supplying her own nutrition to the fetus, but she obviously didn't know that doing so might kill herself.
But where is that thing hidden? With such a need for energy, it is impossible to leave easily, Shen Xishen's spiritual sense boy carefully explored the room.
Soon I felt that something was wrong, that is, it was evil, why didn't I even notice a trace of malice, is this thing already powerful enough to hide malice? But even so, how could such a great evil look at the power of an ordinary girl's family, something is suspicious, there are no clues available in this house, and the most important thing now is to stabilize the soul first, and then think about it in the long run.
Shen Xi twisted the trick and injected the spiritual power he exuded into Miss Xu's body, and gradually, the original weak soul also regained some luster.
Outside the house, Shen Xishen slowly opened his eyes, did not say anything immediately, but stood in place and pondered, and the hearts of everyone around him tightened.
Mrs. Xu couldn't bear it for a while, and said in a trembling voice: "Daochang Shen, such as.... What's wrong, what's wrong with the little girl, when will she recover? ”
At this time, Master Xu interrupted: "Madam, don't worry, Shen Daochang is a young talent, he should be the most top-notch in Qingfeng Mountain, with Shen Daochang here, Yi'er will definitely recover!" After speaking, he looked at Shen Xishen with a relaxed look.
This old man Xu is worthy of the businessman's voice, but he is a good person, he went to Qingfeng Mountain before, and he insisted on funding to repair the temple, and asked directly to the master and his old man, so I let me go out of the mountain in person, and now I know that I will pick people up first, this is because I am afraid that his daughter's situation is critical, and I am afraid that I will not be able to run away?
Shen Xi smiled lightly, but his eyes always looked at the closed door, this evil is very interesting, this trip down the mountain is not a loss, I will spend some time playing with him.
"Master Xu has made a small mistake, although there is no progress now, but Miss's state is really weird, and it must be related to monsters. Today, I have stabilized Miss Xu's soul with my spiritual sense, and I can still relieve it for a few days, but I still need to ask Miss Xu in person some questions, and when Miss wakes up, please notify me in time, the hour is not early, let's disperse today. ”
Shen Xishen didn't want to explain more, so he left the Xu Mansion straight after speaking.
The sun is setting, and there will be no end to the night in Xu's mansion.
The cycle of cause and effect, where the past is prologue.
