Chapter 1: The Deserted Pavilion
Xunzhou Mengjia.
The night is as cool as water.
The lead-gray sky was overcast, and the clouds were like ink, like a faint ink, with a faint hint of mystery.
The faint pale moonlight faintly penetrated the cracks in the clouds, and the floating light faintly skimmed the shadows under the eaves, and the cold wind whined and whistled, and a cold feeling made people rise from the soles of their feet.
"Hiss......"
I don't know where it came from, but there was a low hiss, which made the scene even more ominous.
"Woohoo"
The dilapidated door was wide open, the red patent leather had been corroded and mottled, swayed and creaked by the wind, and it was pitch black inside. The strange wind whimpered, like a woman's cry, cut low and low, and penetrated through the wisps of pervasiveness, which couldn't help but make people's hearts palpitate.
It was eerily quiet.
In the dark night, a little glimmer swayed in the cold wind.
"White, snowy, why are we here......"
Bai Ai was holding Bai Xue's clothes tightly, his voice trembling, and his hands trembling as he held a lamp.
They stood at the gate, on the desolate courtyard, the plaque of "Qingyou Pavilion" was placed crookedly, and the three big characters on it had also faded to the original gilt gold, looking dilapidated and vicissitudes, under the illumination of their faint light, they actually revealed the evil blood.
Deserted pavilions, chaotic grass, strange winds, dark nights, and blood, this appearance is like a haunted house infested by unjust souls described in the script.
Bai Ai looked at everything in front of him, and a chill couldn't help but rise in his heart.
She grabbed Bai Xue hard with her hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and her tone was already choked:
"This, this is a forbidden place, there are, there are ghosts...... Will kill...... Let's go back, ......"
Bai Xue's expression was solemn, but her expression was calm.
Her hand was slightly cold, carefully holding Bai Ai's trembling hand, and lowered her voice to comfort: "Don't be afraid, we're just here to have a look, don't forget what you promised me, we lost the bet, and we are not allowed to regret it." ”
Bai Ai wanted to cry without tears, the two trembled, forcing himself to raise his head, and his face was very ugly.
"Hmmm......"
Bai Xue was also a little nervous, and a thin layer of cold sweat oozed from her hands, but she also bit her lip tightly, and stepped in with a determined expression.
"Da" "Da" ......
The two of them were actually very light, but they were particularly noticeable in this excessively quiet place.
Their footsteps are ethereal and clear.
"Ahh
Suddenly, Bai Ai screamed, and Bai Xue was also frightened by her scream, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Ai's whole person stiffened in place as if he had been immobilized. She was terrified, and looked at the snow with a sad face.
"Yes, what's in my head...... Isn't it a ghost hand......"
When Bai Xue heard this, she immediately looked at Bai Ai's head, and her expression suddenly became a little weird.
"Is it really ......?"
Seeing Bai Xue's expression, Bai Ai was a little sad, with death in his eyes.
Bai Xue couldn't help but be happy when she saw her expression.
"No, it's just a leaf, don't be surprised. ”
Bai Xue sighed low and patted the leaves that fell on her head.
"Rustle"
The leaves of the trees next to it were swept up by the wind, and the fallen leaves fluttered and rattled.
Bai Ai's miserable face, which was as white as paper, had a hint of blood, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person still had a little palpitation.
She lifted the corners of her mouth, barely allowing herself to show a smile that was more ugly than crying, and comforted herself:
"Hah...... Ha, I'm really stunned, I'm scared by myself, our Meng family has a strong family master to protect it, even if this is a forbidden place, how can there be any demons and monsters here, haha...... Forehead ......"
Her words came to an abrupt end.
Her eyes widened, and she looked at the sudden white shadow in front of her in disbelief, and her voice was in her throat.
She spoke with some difficulty:
"You...... Yes?"
A petite white figure with scattered black hair and a red lantern in his hand.
She tilted her head a little cutely, and her voice was ethereal and sweet, with a hint of doubt: "You, are you talking about me? ”
Bai Ai looked down tremblingly, and the girl's little feet were hanging in the air, and there was no shadow.
"Ahh
Bai Ai screamed, thinking of the female ghost in the script, and suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, so he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Bai Xue caught Bai Ai and seemed to be staring at the girl in white with some fear, her voice trembled, but with a hint of affirmation: "You...... You're human, you're not a ghost. ”
"Hee-hee. ”
The girl in white smiled sweetly, her voice soft.
She quickly approached Bai Xue, holding a dagger in her hand and placing it around Bai Xue's neck.
"Sister, if you leave now, this ghost won't kill you. Remember, don't go near here~"
Bai Xue had a bitter face, and the chick nodded again and again like pecking rice. When the dagger was removed, her whole person was like a frightened bird, and she ran away with Bai Ai, who had passed out, stumbling in her footsteps, as if she was frightened.
......
"Hahaha...... It's so fun, it scares ...... them to watch."
Seeing that the person ran away like a rabbit, Xie Qingci turned up his long hair that was scattered, untied the white cloth on his body, and couldn't stand up with a smile.
"Mother, look at it, they were scared by me hahaha, isn't Ah Ci very powerful?"
"Wow"
The originally pitch-black Qingyou Pavilion was suddenly full of light, and a woman in red, Tingting, stood there, and when she saw Xie Qingci, her cold face instantly softened.
The woman in red had a beautiful face, and her peach blossom eyes were as full of water as water, full of intoxicating gentle waves like fine wine.
Although she has a sickly face, it does not damage her beauty at all, but adds a beautiful charm.
Seeing her daughter's proud little appearance, Xie Wei couldn't help laughing, squatted down and scratched her daughter's little nose affectionately.
She was a little helpless, but her tone was very gentle: "Have you had enough? ”
Xie Qingci grinned, his little hand hugged his mother's thigh, his big peach blossom eyes narrowed into a pair of cute little crescents, his eyes were shining, and his smile was as sweet as dipping in honey.
---
Bai Ai opened his eyes, looked around vigilantly, and saw that the surrounding environment was familiar, and the taut string in his heart was loosened, but he felt that his hands and feet were still cold.
"Squeak"
Bai Xue pushed open the door and crept in, seeming to be relieved to see her wake up, showing a hint of a smile: "Xiao Ai, you finally woke up." ”
When Bai Ai saw Bai Xue, his eyes were red and he was a little excited, and there was a sense of relief in his heart, and he spoke: "Bai, Xue, we are still alive, woo...... It's great that we escaped at the hands of the ghosts. ”
"Hey, what are you thinking. ”
Bai Xue couldn't help laughing when she saw her trembling appearance, and glared at her angrily: "That's not a ghost, it's a human, you know it's a blind guess." ”
Bai Ai was a little stunned.
"It's not...... That's obviously ......."
"That's really a human being, a real person. Bai Xue frowned, "Do you know what I secretly heard?"
Bai Ai shook his head.
"Do you know the origin of this Meng family?"
"Yes. The Meng family was originally just a small family, and the ancestral land was in Zhenzhou, but five hundred years ago, the Meng family produced a peerless genius, who is our current head of the family, Meng Yuanheng. ”
"The head of the family is peerless, he was accepted as an apprentice by the elders of Xuanxiao Gate, the head of the family is strong, and he also married the eldest lady of the Xuanxiao Zhou family as his wife. The head of the family brought the younger generations and obtained resources, and the whole family prospered and walked out of the original small city, and now our Meng family is also a big family on the side of the mighty side......"
Bai Ai crackled like an endorsement, without pausing at all.
The history of the Meng family, this is a compulsory course for these maids, and she has long been familiar with it.
"Then do you know that this year's eldest lady is not the original wife of the head of the family, and the real original wife is someone else. It just so happened that we lived in the quiet pavilion where we went. ”
"Huh?!" Bai Ai couldn't help but exclaim, shock in his eyes.
"How is this possible?"
Bai Xue sighed and said, "This is indeed true. ”
"It is said that there is a ruthless female demon cultivator locked up there, who is the original wife of the head of the family, of course, you can't talk nonsense about this, and we will be severely punished if it is known. ”
Bai Ai broke out in a cold sweat and nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood.
"I heard that the head of the family was bewitched by the female devil and had a period of love with her, and later learned her identity, the head of the family killed her relatives and abolished her cultivation, and was kind enough to spare her life, only to seal the demon in the Qingyou Pavilion. Later, the head of the family married a new lady, and the matter was suppressed in this way, except for those old people, few people knew about it. ”
Bai Ai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after listening, he frowned with some disgust.
"Demon cultivators are ruthless and murderous. I have long heard that most of those female demon cultivators do not know the inspection point, and they have no shame at all, and they seduce men everywhere all day long, but I didn't expect that there is actually a female demon cultivator in our Meng Mansion who also seduced the head of the family, it is really shameless!"
"The head of the family and his wife are so compatible, the man is talented and beautiful, I didn't expect to almost ruin this good marriage because of this witch, it's really annoying, fortunately the head of the family is Shengming, otherwise Mrs. would be so sad." ”
Bai Xue sighed and said in a low voice: "This matter is just secretly told to you, and you can't tell anyone, otherwise we will be in trouble." ”
Bai Ai nodded very seriously, with a serious expression.
"I'm telling you this, just to make you stop being afraid of ghosts, and that's someone pretending to be a ghost to scare you. It's a forbidden place, and you must not tell anyone that we have been to the Quiet Pavilion, and trespassing on the forbidden place is a dead end. ”
"Good, good...... I know. ”
---
Xie Qingci's petite body nested in his mother's soft and fragrant arms, his eyes were closed, and his little nose moved gently with his breathing, like a sleeping cat, very well-behaved and cute.
Xie Wei looked at her daughter's sleeping red face, and saw that there was a suspicious liquid at the corner of her daughter's mouth, and couldn't help laughing.
She hugged her daughter tightly in her arms and touched her hairy head with a gentle expression.
Suddenly, a smile froze at the corner of her mouth.
Her expression immediately became as cold as winter, and she spoke indifferently, and her voice was as thick as a jade pendant.
"Come out. Now that you're here, don't hide. ”
