"Smack-"

Another slap in the face, which made Fluttershy's eyes come to the fore.

Hurt and angry, Shang Xiaodie pulls out her dagger and wants to fight Grandma Shang.

"Stop!" Grandma Shang snapped.

Forced by Grandma Shang's momentum, Shang Xiaodie subconsciously stopped, looking at Grandma Shang angrily, as if her eyes were about to erupt into flames.

Similarly, Grandma Shang was very angry, but she was trying to suppress her anger.

"The old body came to you tonight, not to teach you a lesson. After tonight, if you want to find death, the old body will fulfill you. ”

Grandma Shang said coldly, her voice sounding so cold that there was no trace of heat. Fluttershy shuddered. She believed that Grandma Shang's words were not a threat, but true.

Of course, Shang Xiaodie is not the kind of person who is reckless and brainless, and she knows very well that her ruthless moves are useless to Grandma Shang. What's more, now that she knows her true identity, since this is the case, she doesn't have the slightest confidence to rely on in front of the cold-blooded Grandma Shang. She didn't want to die yet, her good years had just begun, how could she give up on herself like this? Besides, it was really not worth dying at the hands of such a filthy woman.

Thinking about this, Shang Xiaodie's mood quickly stabilized. I remembered that Mrs. Shang came here tonight, and she definitely didn't come to tell her about her life experience, there must be something else.

However, what else would be worth it for the invincible lord of the merchant castle to personally come to the Chenghuang Temple in the wilderness to find her, a little girl who had been abandoned for many years?

Shang Xiaodie was quite puzzled, and simply asked directly, "Tell me, why did you come to me?"

Now that she has nothing to do with the Merchant Castle, Shang Xiaodie unties the knot in her heart, and from then on, she is really a stranger to the people of the Merchant Castle, and no longer has the slightest burden in her heart. Especially for Grandma Shang, she has no scruples.

Grandma Shang seemed to see her growth from Shang Xiaodie's indifferent and calm eyes, and inexplicably, a trace of regret appeared in her heart. If she's really the blood and blood of my merchant castle—

But this thought was only a fleeting moment, and then it disappeared completely, as if it had never happened at all.

Grandma Shang then put on an invincible demeanor, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Girl, I heard that you are carrying out a rather evil cultivation, which can subdue the powerful ghosts. Is this true?"

Shang Xiaodie never expected that Grandma Shang would ask this, and she couldn't help but wonder. Because I didn't know what she meant, I didn't know how to answer for a while.

Grandma Shang seemed to see Shang Xiaodie's heart, and snorted coldly, "You don't have to be suspicious, the old body has no interest in your cultivation, and he won't interfere with you." ”

Shang Xiaodie said impatiently, "Then why are you coming to me? ”

It's the first time that Grandma Shang has been deflated in front of others, but she knows Shang Xiaodie's personality and ignores it, saying, "You come with me to the merchant castle to ambush a ghost." ”

There's a ghost in the merchant fort?!

Shang Xiaodie was shocked, but she quickly understood. The merchant fort is not as peaceful as the residents of Xianju Town seem. In fact, there is a secret inside. This is related to the cultivation of the merchant fort, and the internal strength they practice is called the "Bloodthirsty Demon Sutra", which requires a lot of blood to build a blood pool, and this blood pool is hidden in the altar of the mountain behind the merchant fort.

This was kept secret from the outside world, and the core members of the merchant fort naturally knew about it, but they all thought that the blood in the blood pool was the blood of livestock. However, Shang Xiaodie accidentally encounters a dead soldier in a pool of blood and kills people and bleeds. This made her have nightmares for a long time, but she didn't dare to let anyone know.

Because of this, it is not surprising that Shang Xiaodie hears that there are powerful ghosts in the merchant castle at this time. Presumably, there must be countless souls in that altar, and it is very possible that a powerful ghost will appear among the countless souls for many years.

For this reason, Shang Xiaodie immediately gloated and said very simply, "Don't go." ”

Grandma Shang sneered: "Don't toast or eat and drink." ”

Shang Xiaodie naturally knew that if Grandma Shang used force, she could only go with her obediently. But she really hated this old woman, so naturally she refused to agree to her so easily.

Shang Xiaodie craned her neck and said, "Even if you tie me up, I can still do nothing, what can you do?"

"I don't know what to lift, don't think that the old body is begging you. ”

Grandma Shang snorted coldly, and as she spoke, her body moved, and she suddenly appeared in front of Shang Xiaodie.

Shang Xiaodie is not what she used to be, and her body is much faster, so she subconsciously retreats backwards.

However, it was still slow.

"This is the legendary bell that can dissolve the resentment of ghosts?"

Grandma Shang touched the soul bell in her bag without Shang Xiaodie noticing, held it in her hand, and looked at it curiously.

Shang Xiaodie was taken aback and said angrily, "Shameless, at such an old age, you still rob other people's things." ”

Grandma Shang looked at Shang Xiaodie with disdain and said, "It's not uncommon for this thing to be old. Girl, this thing has fallen into the hands of the old body, if you are not obedient, the old body will use it to subdue the ghost. ”

"Shameless. ”

Shang Xiaodie scolded in her heart, but this soul bell was very important to her, and now that it had fallen into the hands of Grandma Shang, she had to swallow it and said, "Even if you take this soul bell, it's useless, this subduing powerful ghosts is also a technical job." ”

Seeing that Shang Xiaodie's tone had softened significantly, Grandma Shang's face was slightly gentle, and she looked at the bell in her hand curiously, and said, "It turns out that this is the soul bell." The world is so big, there are really no wonders, one thing descends one thing, but it is also the way of nature. ”

After Grandma Shang sighed, she looked at Shang Xiaodie again and said, "Girl, I don't know where you got this strange thing, and I'm not interested in it. The old body heard Zhan'er say that you are cultivating this soul bell, and your cultivation method is quite friendly, not harming ghosts, but resolving their grievances. This is good. I'll tell you the truth, the old body is not afraid of any ghosts. Joke, the old body is cultivated to be invincible to all evils, how can he be afraid of any powerful ghosts? However, the old body also has the virtue of a good life, and he can't bear to poison ghosts. So, when I heard that you were doing this kind of cultivation, it would be better for you to be fulfilled just like that. ”

Listening to Grandma Shang's words is better than singing, how could Shang Xiaodie be mentally retarded enough to believe her nonsense? However, Grandma Shang's words reminded Shang Xiaodie.

Indeed, with Grandma Shang's cultivation, how could she be afraid of any powerful ghosts? She came to find herself tonight to ambush the powerful ghosts, there must be another reason.

Does it have anything to do with me? Or is she planning to harm me?

Shang Xiaodie suddenly became vigilant.

However, she thought about it again, if Grandma Shang really wanted to harm her, she didn't need to bother so much at all, and only one move could kill her. Moreover, in this Xianju Town, her death is no different from the death of an ant, but it will not cause a trace of waves. I don't have a backstage like the Cloud Gate Sect to support me.

In this way, there must be something else hidden here. And this secret will naturally only be known if you go to it.

In that case, go for it. Anyway, she was held hostage at this time, and she couldn't help but go. Those who know the times are Junjie, and there is no need to toast and not eat and drink.

Once she figured it out, Shang Xiaodie simply said, "So you are actually kind? Alright then, I'll go with you. ”

Grandma Shang naturally heard the sarcasm in Shang's words, but she ignored it. This girl is willing to go to the merchant fort, so good. It doesn't matter if she's meant or forced. It's the results that matter. She has always focused on results.

"Then you can give me back the soul bell now, right?"

Shang Xiaodie said tentatively.

Grandma Shang immediately threw the soul bell back to Shang Xiaodie and said, "Girl, the old body knows that you are a smart girl. Naturally, I know that if you are not honest, there are a hundred ways for the old body to clean you up. ”

Shang Xiaodie hurriedly put the soul bell into her bag, pursed her lips, and said, "Don't worry, I don't think I have a long life, how dare I play tricks in front of you." ”

"It's good to know. Grandma Shang snorted coldly and said, "Then let's go with the old body." ”

Shang Xiaodie was afraid that Grandma Shang would find out about Li Kun's existence, so she didn't dare to go back to her room, so she followed.

Of course, Shang Xiaodie is not very worried about Li Kun, she is worried about herself now.

This pair of former grandparents and grandchildren, one after the other, walked silently on the mountain road.

Grandma Shang finally broke the silence and said, "Girl, although you are not my merchant's blood, you are still the granddaughter of the old man in name. The old body knows that you are innocent, but the old body cannot accept you. So, you suffered. ”

What is it? Repentance? Apology?

Shang Xiaodie naturally won't believe that this is true, but it is indeed very unexpected that Grandma Shang is willing to say this.

Shang Xiaodie snorted coldly in her heart, but didn't say anything in her mouth.

"Forget it, what's the point of saying that?"

When Grandma Shang doesn't answer, she knows that she is bored, so she sighs self-deprecatingly. Then he said: "From tonight onwards, you will have nothing to do with my merchant fort at all, you can rest assured, the old body will definitely restrain your family, and no one will bully you in the future." You can live well in Xianju Town. ”

Shang Xiaodie is naturally eager for this. She immediately remembered Shang Zhan's hateful face, if from now on, she could really not be bullied by him, it would naturally be better.

For this reason, Shang Xiaodie finally spoke, "Then thank you very much." ”

In fact, in all fairness, when she was in Fort Merchant, Grandma Shang was the only one who didn't speak ill of her, and she never flicked a finger at her. Grandma Shang's treatment of her is just a kind of indifference, a kind of cold indifference to the bone.

Shang Xiaodie was puzzled by this. Tonight finally has an answer. This is understandable. Because she was the one who killed the first heir of the merchant castle, that is, her titular father. For large families, the first heir has an unusual role for the family. Therefore, his death will naturally bring a great blow to Grandma Shang. For this reason, it is normal for Grandma Shang to dislike her from the bottom of her heart.
