Chapter 149: Exploration
Inside the inn.
Gao Ming withdrew the Yin God into the Cultivation Jade, shook his head and said, "There is no trace of the breath of the remnant soul. ”
He Zhengyang sighed: "Then I can only go to the scholar's house to have a look." ”
The two walked out of the inn and did not hire any more carriages.
The scholar's house is also in the east of the city, not too far away.
Gao Ming followed He Zhengyang all the way.
Gao Ming asked, "Are you sure it's the same youkai?"
He Zhengyang said: "Senior Sister and I sense the demonic energy, and we both think that it should be the same one. ”
Gao Ming asked strangely, "Senior Sister can't track down where the monster has gone?"
He Zhengyang said: "When the demonic qi entered the courtyard, there was no trace of it coming out, as if it disappeared out of thin air with the scholar." ”
Gao Ming said: "Could it be that she actually hid in the yard and didn't leave?"
He Zhengyang shook his head: "No." ”
In the distance, He Zhengyang pointed to a courtyard and said, "That's it." ”
It was a small yard. Although the courtyard is small, it is also a scale that only ordinary eunuchs have. It's just that the door wall is very dilapidated, probably because the ancestor used to be an official, and now he thinks about it.
Gao Ming pointed to the calm courtyard and said, "There was no funeral. ”
He Zhengyang said: "It's just missing, the scholar's younger brother and his mother don't know about the monster yet." ”
The two of them walked towards the courtyard.
He Zhengyang deliberately fell behind, and Gao Ming stepped forward and knocked on the door.
A teenage boy opened the door and asked, "Are you?"
Gao Ming arched his hand and said: "I am Brother Xu's classmate and old friend, and I have only recently returned to the capital to visit my old friend. I don't know, Brother Xing can be at home?"
Xu Xingxue is the missing scholar. Gao Ming thought that the boy would reply that he was not there, and then he excused himself to go in and wait, so that he would have a chance to investigate.
But he didn't want to, the boy turned around and shouted, "Brother, your old friend is looking for you!"
Gao Ming was shocked, this Xu Xingxue is not dead?
I saw a person walking out of the house, dressed as a scholar, tall and thin, like a bamboo pole. Looking around his eyes, there is indeed some black and purple. He looked sluggish and walked a little vainly. Looking closely at his temples, there was a trace of silver hair at a young age.
When Xu Xingxue saw Gao Ming at the door, he was a little puzzled for a while, and then turned around and glanced at the little boy with a little reproach.
However, Gao Ming is dressed as a school, but there is no logo of the Six Universities on his clothes, and he looks quite elegant.
The man stepped forward and saluted, "This brother, please forgive me for being clumsy, are you?"
At this time, behind Gao Ming, He Zhengyang appeared: "Young Master Xu, don't come unharmed?"
Xu Xingxue's face immediately changed greatly, and he was about to close the door directly.
Gao Ming hurriedly resisted and slammed the door open.
He Zhengyang said: "Young Master Xu, why is this? Poor Dao also gave you a few evil charms, why, in a blink of an eye, you turned your face and didn't recognize people?"
Xu Xingxue was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he was obviously very flustered when he looked at it.
He rubbed his hands together and tried to pull out a smiley face, and said, "No, no, uh, that, it's wrong." I took the Taoist Chief's talisman in Xia, but the Taoist also knew that he was poor in the next family. Today, I saw that the Taoist chief came to the door, and I was afraid that the Taoist chief would ask for the silver money for the spell below, so I panicked for a while, and I am really sorry. ”
He Zhengyang said: "However, Poor Dao didn't say that he wanted Xu Gongzi's silver." ”
Xu Xingxue said: "As I have seen in my life, I naturally ask for silver to buy things, so there is no reason to give it away for nothing." I had never met such a high-spirited fairy figure as the Taoist before, so in a moment of panic, I did such a ridiculous thing. ”
He Zhengyang said, "Oh?
That Xu Xingxue said with a smile: "That's true." The Taoist chief has a large mind, and he hopes not to blame him. ”
He Zhengyang asked: "Then, I don't know, are the few talismans I gave you okay?"
That Xu Xingxue said: "Good to make, very good to make!"
He Zhengyang asked, "So, the monster has been here?"
Xu Xingxue hurriedly stopped: "No, no, no, I haven't come." ”
He Zhengyang asked again: "Since you haven't been here, how do you know if it's good or not?"
"This ......" Xu Xingxue said: "As soon as I put on the talisman given by the Dao Chief, the monster will never come again, this must be the Dao Chief's talisman is boundless, so that the monster does not dare to disturb again." ”
He Zhengyang said: "However, you originally said that the monster should not come again in the next few days." ”
Xu Xingxue smiled and said slowly: "Well, that's just speculation after all." In the next ordinary man, a little guess can't be counted. ”
He Zhengyang said: "Then, what about the talisman I gave you?"
Xu Xingxue's face changed greatly in an instant, but he recovered quickly, and his face was still smiling.
"It's stuck on the door. ”
He Zhengyang said: "But, I didn't see any talismans at the door?"
Xu Xingxue said unhurriedly: "It's in front of the door." ”
He Zhengyang walked inside the house: "Can you let the poor road in and have a look?"
That Xu Xingxue immediately stood in front of him: "I'm sorry, Dao Chief, it's really a little inconvenient in the private place of the house." ”
He Zhengyang said: "Then why don't you go and show it to me, see if the spiritual power of the talisman has dissipated, and I can make up for it for you again." ”
Xu Xingxue smiled lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, but you don't have to." The old mother at home is sick in bed and needs to recuperate. Forgive me for being rude, since the Taoist chief is not here to ask for silver taels, please go back. ”
Gao Ming said leisurely on the side: "We are here to ask for silver taels!"
Xu Xingxue: "......"
He Zhengyang: "......"
......
Outside the courtyard wall, Gao Ming looked inside, and could only see tattered blue tiles, and some messy things such as straw were laid on them.
Gao Ming asked He Zhengyang next to him: "Why don't you just break in?" ”
He Zhengyang said: "There is no demonic energy in the house, and it is useless for us to break in." ”
Gao Ming asked, "Didn't you and Senior Sister come to see him yesterday, why didn't you expose him?"
He Zhengyang said: "It's useless. He doesn't want to say it, so we can't do anything about him. ”
Gao Ming sighed and said, "Didn't he wake up?
He Zhengyang shook his head: "Just his little Yuanyang, if the monster harms him again, he should die." That's why, when I saw the youkai coming yesterday, I thought he was dead. ”
Gao Ming smashed his head with his hand sadly, looking at the courtyard, a little irritable.
Suddenly, Gao Ming asked, "Daoist, you say, why didn't he report to the official, but he waited for you for several days, so he had to come to you?"
The Taoist priest said slowly while thinking: "At that time, he came to me and said that he begged me to give him a way to save his life, and said that it was best not to hurt the monster, just drive it away. ”
Gao Ming continued: "In other words, he never woke up at all, but the instinct to survive defeated the bewitchment of the monster!"
He Zhengyang's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, that's right." ”
Gao Ming asked He Zhengyang: "Then what should we do now?"
He Zhengyang said: "Let's go back first." ”
Gao Ming looked at the courtyard wall unwillingly, and said, "Just go back like this......?"
He Zhengyang said: "That monster came last time, but that Xu Gongzi didn't die. Come to think of it, that monster shouldn't hurt him for a while. ”
Gao Ming was still worried: "What if?"
He Zhengyang said: "It's okay, let's come again in the evening, half a day, and it's during the day, it should be fine." ”
Gao Ming then understood: "Oh, I see. Taoist priest, do you want to climb someone's wall in the middle of the night?"
He Zhengyang: "......"
Gao Ming said: "I heard that the Weitong Mansion also patrols at night, and it is very powerful to catch snitches. The snitch theft case last time was solved in less than three days, although the snitch was caught by a border military captain who came to the Beijing Normal School, but the Weitong Mansion also contributed a lot. ”
He Zhengyang said calmly: "It's okay, you and I have to come tonight, as long as you run a little faster than you." ”
