Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Haunted House
The guy from Yaxing took Chen Jingzhi and the others to an alley, he pointed to a somewhat bleak courtyard a hundred steps ahead, and said, "This is it." ”
It's early summer, and the weather is getting hotter, but when you get here, you feel cold.
"Is there a problem with the house?" Meng Chengguang grabbed the guy and asked angrily with his eyes in his eyes.
The guy in Yaxing was a little frightened, there was indeed some problem with this house, it was originally owned by Tang Juren in the county, and his people had been studying their homework here for many years, but they had not been able to get into the jinshi, and then they took on the official position of governor of a nearby prefecture. The courtyard behind is inhabited by his son Tang Xiucai.
Tang Xiucai was born with a talent, and he was amorous, often lingering in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou, and had mutual feelings for a woman who was famous as Qingli in the Rumeng Pavilion. Because Qingli was a woman in Qinglou, Tang Xiucai did not dare to blatantly accept a concubine, so he was placed in this small courtyard after redeeming herself. But this matter was finally known by Tang Juren, who was angry that he had corrupted the family style and ordered Tang Xiucai to drive Qingli out of the house.
Tang Xiucai succumbed, and Qingli hanged herself for this, and then she didn't do it. However, Tang Xiucai was still benevolent and righteous, and found a hometown for Qingli, and then ordered someone to send Qingli's coffin back to his hometown for burial.
However, since then, Tang Xiucai has gone crazy because of this, becoming stupid and stupid, ignorant of people, sitting naked and stupid in front of the Dream Pavilion every day, and then being taken home by Tang Juren, he died of illness within two days. And in this small courtyard, every night I heard a female ghost crying, and the people nearby found the Taoist Palace to get rid of the ghost, but they found nothing.
After that, the courtyard was abandoned, and no one dared to rent it recently. The guy in Yaxing just saw that Chen Jingzhi and the others were not satisfied, and they were not satisfied, and they were angry in their hearts, so they wanted to scare Chen Jingzhi and the others. At this time, he was grabbed by someone, and he suddenly panicked in his heart, but he also knew that these people didn't dare to do anything to him.
He stammered a little, "You... Do you want to... What for..."
Chen Jingzhi's eyes swept away, and he already knew the thoughts of this tooth guy. But when he learned about the green glass here, he suddenly remembered the ghouls he had encountered. He then made a little understanding of ghouls, the cause of ghouls is extremely peculiar, but it all takes decades, if Qingli is a ghoul, then the time is not right, the most likely is that someone is behind the manipulation.
"Let's change the place, the price is easy to say. Chen Jingzhi said coldly, "With malice, if you commit another offense, I won't spare you." ”
The tooth guy's heart was relieved, and he felt a little guilty, and hurriedly said, "Five hundred steps away, there are fifteen taels of silver a month, a large courtyard, absolutely comfortable." ”
"Fifteen taels?" Meng Chengguang's eyes straightened, "Do you treat us as fish in water?
"Childe said with a smile, where do you dare, fifteen taels is already very cheap, this is the best area of Fanlu Academy, I don't know how many students are nearby, and there are even more people who are scholars, and neighbors with loved ones, can't they also go to high school as soon as possible?" The guy hurriedly took a step back, for fear that Meng Chengguang would bully him again.
"And this house is expensive for two months before and after the county test, and after these four months, it will be five taels of silver. ”
"Five taels?" Meng Chengguang was a little dumbfounded, "Damn, the county town is different from the countryside." "I knew that the county town was expensive, but I didn't expect it to be more expensive near the academy.
Chen Jingzhi said briskly, "Just be there, lead the way." ”
The guy couldn't help but look surprised, he didn't see that the other party was so generous, and he thought it was a pastime. He was stunned for a moment, and said with a flattering smile, "A few sons, come with me." ”
The newly found courtyard had three rooms on each side of the east and west, and a small courtyard in the front and back, and it was indispensable for several slaves to live in such a courtyard. Chen Jingzhi paid three months' rent at a time, and arranged for each to live there.
The next day, Yang Tingqing and Meng Zhaoxing went to the academy together to get to know the students, and also to find a place to study their homework in the academy. Although they are not students of the county town, they can come to listen to the lectures before taking the county examination.
Meng Chengguang was already impatient, although Chen Jingzhi had already warned him that if he appeared, he might be discovered by the people in the Taishou Mansion in the county town, but Meng Chengguang couldn't help it at all and sneaked out.
Three days later, one night, Chen Jingzhi had already expelled all the strange qi in the Xuanjin Stone, and now it was round and full of spirituality. The refining method of Shenxiao Dao is different from other Taoist sects, and the next thing to do is to attract extraterrestrial starlight and earth qi to refine this Xuanjin Stone, and finally refine it into a flying knife.
After a little exhalation, he felt that it was enough to do it today, and if he continued to do it, it might damage the spirituality of the Xuanjin Stone, so he stopped at the moment. Immediately, the mind fell to the outer world, into the nameless and mysterious realm, and the starlight outside the sky suddenly fell into the sea of Chen Jing's knowledge, and at the same time, the light of the Great Yan Shenxiao Pearl lit up, and it was like a great sun shining in the sea of Chen Jing's knowledge.
In an instant, it was three o'clock in the middle of the day, and Chen Jingzhi put down his practice and looked at the quiet night outside the sky, which was a sign of the upcoming sunrise. At this time, he remembered the thing he had obtained from the corpse of Ye Lu on top of the water, which he had been suppressing with the Great Yan Divine Xiaozhu before, just because he was worried that it would be inspired by the gods such as the Water Secretion Dragon Monarch to be something from Zhaimen.
At this time, he once again used a small spell to isolate the inside and outside, and this kind of spell could only be used as a slight precaution. Later, the Great Yan God Xiaozhu was sacrificed, and the brilliance of this thing was covered, which seemed to isolate the internal and external causal associations, and Chen Jingzhi himself also had the illusion of being separated from the world.
He was a little nervous, this storage magic weapon immediately collapsed, and countless things were poured out, making a loud noise, a lot of gold and silver, Chen Jingzhi didn't look at it much, and put it away at will. He looked through it a little, and most of the things were very ordinary, but in a five-foot-high, five-story golden silk wood box, he found a few things that he liked very much.
"A lavent stone, a penitential crystal. Chen Jing's eyes sparkled, the Xuanjin Stone and the Wutu Crystal were rare, especially in this side of the world, these things were under the control of the gods. To refine seventy-two flying knives, he needs at least seventy-two treasures.
He put the box away and put it into his storage artifact, and then took out two more boxes from it, emitting a burst of herbal aroma. When I opened it, it turned out to be two elixirs that could be called nine grades, "Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me." ”
The seeds of the Divine Tree are extremely agreeable to the elixir, and the Great Yan Divine Xiaozhu will devour anything that has the origin of this heaven and earth. For Chen Jingzhi, finding all kinds of elixirs and spiritual materials is also an important cultivation, but now he doesn't plan to use these elixirs to feed the Divine Tree Seed and the Great Yan Divine Xiaozhu, the first thing is to improve his own cultivation.
"This is a spirit bead. Chen Jingzhi found more than sixty spirit beads in a glass box, which made him a little surprised, if all these spirit beads were used for cultivation, it would be enough for him to cultivate to the Fetal Light Realm.
Next, he found a few more things, each of which had a lot of use, and Chen Jingzhi couldn't help but be overjoyed, after all, it was very difficult to get these things from the gods. He took out all the things in the lower four layers, and there were indeed all kinds of elixir and spiritual materials, which were not usually available at all.
Finally, when he took out the last layer, he looked at it, it was a box full of letters. He opened it and took a look, mostly ordinary from the same door. But when he opened the last three letters, a gleam flashed in his eyes. It turned out that it was Zhaimen who instructed Ye Luzhong to help the evil god Lingyin Niangniang get out of trouble, the purpose was to disrupt the world.
He put the letter away, feeling that his intuition would be of great use to him in the future. And in another letter, he found a strange thing, it turned out that the ghoul was indeed transformed by Qingli, and it was indeed manipulated by Zhaimen behind it, but the letter received by Ye Luzhong warned Ye Luzhong to protect Qingli's soul and wisdom, and even used soul jewels for this purpose.
Chen Jingzhi also put away the letter, he picked up the last one, read it, and suddenly saw the three words Immeasurable Heaven.
"Infinite Heaven, Qingli came from Infinite Heaven in her previous life?" Chen Jingzhi was stunned, and then he was overjoyed, if Qingli didn't have the cultivation of his previous life, it would be too difficult to keep his soul. And Chen Jingzhi has been exploring for so long and finally has the news of Infinite Heaven, and why Zhaimen is looking for Infinite Heaven Chen Jingzhi is a little unclear.
The letter is full of reproaches, the main reason is because although Qingli has turned into a ghoul, her main soul is gone, and the soul on the ghoul is not Qingli itself.
He put the letter away and said, "Qingli's soul is still in the world, then I will definitely be able to find the location of the immeasurable heaven, it seems that I have to find Qingli to know." ”
He looked outside the house, and now he was wearing a black suit and jumped out of the roof, and he decided to go to the place where Qingli lived to investigate first. After a while, when I arrived at the house where Tang Xiucai and Qingli used to live, it was already a little dilapidated and depressed, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and a few wild birds flew up as Chen Jingzhi fell.
After looking at it for a while, he found that there was nothing useful, but this was also expected by him, and Saimen was also searching, and this place had probably been turned upside down. After he walked around again, he found a wooden doll in the corner, and he took pictures of the wooden doll he wanted with a single stroke of his mana.
However, the wooden doll's eyes suddenly turned, and then with a snap, a black shadow fell to the ground, and it disappeared in an instant.
But it was only for a moment that Chen Jingzhi had already understood that this was an insect, and it was artificially manipulated, otherwise it would be impossible for an insect without mana to run away from his eyes. He suddenly remembered the Zhai Po in Miaozhu Village, who was best at driving poisonous insects and snakes.
He had also read the book left by Zhai Po before, and at that time he thought that it was not even worth learning, and that Zhai Po actually got the exercise book from southern Xinjiang, and he suspected that this insect also had something to do with southern Xinjiang. Thinking of this, he decided to go to the Rumeng Pavilion.
