Chapter 4: Jiaona

For a while, Chu Yunting's heart exploded violently.

If it weren't for the fact that he had always been firm in his faith, he would have been afraid that he would have to bow respectfully to the witch and the curtain at this moment.

Holding the piece of paper, he walked out of the house in despair, but he noticed that the red-faced girls next to him were holding the pieces of paper in their hands like holy objects, as if the content of the pieces of paper was the same as their divination, without the slightest mistake, and could give them a new life.

For a moment, his heart was shaken.

Legend has it that the sage Confucius sorted out the "Zhou Yi" and admired yarrow very much, so the turtle was gradually replaced by yarrow, and it is said that nine times out of ten. But even so, there will be mistakes and omissions in the divination of the Confucian saints.

How can this be so precise?

He stared back at the piece of paper again.

At this moment, he saw not only the scenery he saw on the painting, but also the faint figure in the distance, the crowd of people, the outstanding demeanor, and the scroll in the hand of the figure, etc.

"I see!"

For a while, Chu Yunting suddenly brightened, and his eyes returned to clarity.

It's all in the picture!

No matter who asks for marriage, fate, or high officials, they are almost included.

There is no reason to be inaccurate!

He couldn't help but laugh.

But somehow, he stared at the piece of paper again, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Because this piece of paper is full of literary atmosphere, it is obviously the beginning of pen and ink, and so much time, a few strokes, can outline such a magnificent pattern, incorporated into a very small piece of paper, such a means, is absolutely unusual.

The other party must be eccentric!

He couldn't help but look at the old house.

It's just that at this moment, he noticed that the surrounding area was white, the ancient house had long been gone, and even the surrounding confusion array had disappeared.

And it was already early in the morning, and he stood proudly on the bank of the Surabaya River outside Qixia Mansion, which was the entrance to the ghost land in the northern suburbs, only five miles away from Qixia Mansion.

There are woodcutters and fishermen who go up the mountain, and scholars who stay in monasteries outside the city at night.

It's out!

He actually came out of the Ecstasy Circle! Could it be because of the mysterious ancient house of divination?

Was everything a dream or an illusion?

Or is your memory broken?

For a moment, he was full of shock.

But no matter what, he was really lucky to be able to come out of that ecstasy formation.

And the piece of paper he was holding in his hand at the moment was telling him that it was all true.

It was only at the same time that he felt a chill.

As if being targeted by a poisonous snake, the whole body is creepy.

He was shocked, and when he looked back, in the distance, there was a middle-aged housekeeper standing on the other side of the riverbank, staring at him deadly.

The other party's eyes were full of incredulity, as if he had seen a person who was already dead, but resurrected in front of him.

This middle-aged housekeeper is the eldest housekeeper of Mrs. Yunda, named An Haixuan.

It is said that he is deeply versed in ghost arts, and can use the five ghost carrying techniques, and the array of the entire family to ward off evil spirits is also arranged by this person.

This person is highly used by Mrs. Yunda, and she usually lifts her eyes to the sky, but no one dares to offend, because his personality is vicious and vicious, and he will be revenged.

Over the years, An Haixuanke has deducted most of his monthly salary, disdainful and contemptuous of him, and they are like fire and water with each other.

The other party obviously didn't expect that he would be able to come out of this ghost maze, so his eyes were full of disbelief and murderous intent.

Then, the other party's body slowly hid in the mist by the river and disappeared.

On the entire river bank, the mist was shrouded, as if it was like a demonic wind doing evil, there was some feeling of covering the sky and the sun, and the demonic aura hit people, and even made the surrounding scholars tremble.

Seeing this, Chu Yunting surged with a trace of killing intent and did not show weakness.

But at the same time, his mind froze.

The other party's means are powerful, and the array of confusion arranged must be a hundred secrets and no mistakes, but they were escaped by themselves, which can be seen in the mystery of the ancient house, and perhaps the divination paper has another purpose.

For a while, he rushed to Qixiafu County, and he wanted to return to his residence as soon as possible to find out the secret of the divination paper.

Although the summer is hot, Qixia Mansion is lively and prosperous, and on the streets, there are mostly some scholars and maids buying all kinds of pen and ink calligraphy and paintings.

Qixia Mansion is one of the seven prefectures of Nanyang Prefecture from the country, standing near the sea, the traffic is developed, although 30 years ago the king of Qixia County made a rebellion, the army came one after another, the whole city almost fell apart, but after 30 years of renovation, it has been restored to the situation of the year.

It's just that it is said that the military spirit of Qixia County Government was condensed and unparalleled, but it was suppressed by ghosts and gods, so now the entire prefecture and county are filled with the atmosphere of worship for ghosts and gods.

The same is true of the Chu family where Chu Yunting is located, the servants cleaned all the corners spotlessly, lit the green radish lanterns to ward off evil spirits, and carefully repaired the magic circles everywhere.

Of course, these Chu Yunting have nothing to do with it, he is in the north courtyard of the mansion, which is still deserted and overgrown, as if he is left behind and independent.

However, this is also in line with Chu Yunting's intentions, so he is quiet and can figure out the article with his heart.

Just as he was about to step into the courtyard, he suddenly noticed a shadow hiding under the jungle in the distance, as if waiting for him.

When the figure saw him, it seemed that his qi had condensed, and he walked towards him.

It was as if there was joy and worry at the same time.

The person in front of her was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, her eyes were as bright as snow, revealing a smart light, and her figure was slender, like a graceful willow in spring, which was moving.

"It's her, Jiaona. Seeing this, Chu Yunting couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.

Chu Jiaona is one of his sisters, born to the sixth lady, her mother died of illness shortly after birth, had nothing to rely on, and was banished to the North Courtyard, which coincided with Chu Yunting's mother died of illness that year, so Chu Yunting took care of her to grow up, and then the two depended on each other, as if they were like a flower and a leaf, although the shape was different, but it was a plant on the same root.

And she was born with a delicate heart, although she was shy by nature, she still relied on her extraordinary literary spirit to condense her talent and literary luck, and was admitted to the Academy of Literature.

With her literary style, she was even favored by the dean in the Academy of Literature, and her reputation was far away, but she just went to the Academy of Literature to listen to lectures, and she returned to live in the mansion, and even helped Chu Yunting wash and cook, just like Chu Yunting's maid.

At this moment, Jiao Na approached and whispered: "Third brother, not long ago, I heard a strange noise from your side, and noticed that a few slaves went to your house, as if they were looking for something, it may be someone from the housekeeper of Na'an, you should be careful." ”

"Someone searching my room?"

Hearing this, Chu Yunting's brows condensed slightly, it seems that this should be the arrangement after Steward An thinks that he will die, there are no other items in his house, and the most likely thing for the other party is to eliminate the traces and destroy the ancient book that he has read.

In this way, there is no proof of his death, and Steward An will no longer have to worry about the future.

For a while, Chu Yunting had murderous intent again, the other party was so unscrupulous and put himself to death, how could he do it!

However, he took a deep breath, quickly regained his composure, gently patted Jiaona's head, and whispered, "Thank you Jiaona for reminding me, I have my own measure." However, now that ghosts are rampant in the house, the Chu family has shown signs of collapse and decline, you should break it, go to the academy to practice with peace of mind during this time, and don't come back. ”

This was his special vigilance.

Over the years, the Chu family has maintained prosperity in Qixia Mansion because of strict family rules and is not impatient when doing big things. But this time, Steward An framed him, which was full of flaws and could not withstand scrutiny, which was very suitable for Mrs. Yun's methods, so it can be seen that Mrs. Yun began to grasp power and interfere with the family rules.

As commented in "Zuo Biography", women are reckless, and often become a disaster for the family and the country.

"What about you?" Jiao Na enjoyed being caressed by Chu Yunting's head, but her face swelled with worry about Chu Yunting's Wen Yungu.

"Tomorrow's college exam, I will become a talent, and I will also be able to enter the Academy of Literature. Chu Yunting's voice was like a human being, and he was iron-clad.

"Third brother, I believe in you. Jiaona said earnestly, her face full of hope.

She believes in Chu Yunting's talent, all the arts and sciences she has learned over the years have been learned from Chu Yunting, she regards Chu Yunting as a relative and friend, and regards Chu Yunting as a strict teacher, I believe that sooner or later, Chu Yunting will be like a dragon out of the abyss, and the literary atmosphere will overflow the world.

Then she walked towards the courtyard next to her, but after walking a long way, a trace of resoluteness suddenly appeared on her immature face, and she murmured: "An Haixuan, if you dare to hurt the third brother at all, even if I fight Wenyun, I will kill you!"
