Chapter 8: The Haunted House
At dusk on the day of the appointment, Xu Tianqi took another junior brother, Mu Jin, to Shixuan's small courtyard, looking a little worried and excited.
"Senior Brother Mu, this is Senior Brother Shi Xuanshi, a closed disciple of a reclusive elder of our Xu family. Regarding the matter of Xu Laodao, the ancestor, except for the more core personnel in his own clan, the Xu family is only said to be a reclusive elder, and Shi Xuan also indicated to Xu Tianqi that he can call himself by his pseudonym Shi Xuan in the future, although Xu Tianqi was puzzled, he still did it.
"Hello Senior Brother Shi. "Mu Jin is tall and big-headed, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks loyal and honest.
"Senior Brother Shi, this is Senior Brother Mu Jinmu, my father's fifth disciple, and he has the best friendship with me. β
"Hehe, Senior Brother Mu, you are so polite. Shi Xuan replied.
Xu Tianqi approached Shi Xuan and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Shi, it's no problem, right?"
Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xu, I can only say that I will do what I can." Xu Tianqi took a step back and looked at Shi Xuan, maybe Shi Xuan's calm appearance gave him confidence, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then let's go." β
Shi Xuan was ready in the afternoon, the talisman seals were all placed in his arms and in the hidden pocket of his sleeve, some talisman seals were prepared for a few, and some talisman seals that were not very likely to be used were only prepared, and they were placed in different categories to ensure that they could be used as soon as possible, at this time, after thinking about it a little, seeing that there was nothing missing, he nodded and went out with Xu Tianqi and Mu Jin.
Along the way, Shi Xuan and Xu Tianqi chatted casually, while Mu Jin rarely spoke and looked rather wooden, perhaps because of this, Xu Tianqi would bring him along.
When I arrived near the ghost house, I saw four people standing outside the door from a distance, three men and two women, Xu Tianqi's face changed, and his footsteps stopped: "Damn, why is Yuqiong here too." β
At this time, the other party also saw this, one of them was dressed in a red suit, a girl who was as red as a chili pepper, jumped up and beckoned to Xu Tianqi, Xu Tianqi couldn't avoid it, so he had to signal to Shi Xuan, and then walked over.
Among these five people, the most eye-catching is a tall girl about seventeen or eighteen years old wearing a lotus dress, phoenix eyes and a nose, very beautiful, and the other red pepper girl is more petite, with big eyes and a small nose and mouth, looking fourteen or fifteen years old, lively and abnormal. The other three men stood a little farther away, led by the young man in a Confucian shirt in the middle, except that his face was a little paler, but he looked much more handsome than Xu Tianqi, and the two behind him were middle-aged men with tigers and bears, looking at the momentum, they were very fierce.
"Okay, you Xu Tianqi, such an interesting thing, you didn't ask me to come with Sister Yuqiong. When the girl in red saw Xu Tianqi walk in, she shouted with her head and face.
Xu Tianqi hurriedly confessed: "Seventh sister, it's my brother's fault, I'm worried that ghosts and weirdness won't be liked by you girls." β
Seeing that the girl in the red dress was still talking, the girl in the blue dress hurriedly pulled her and replied first: "Brother Xu Shi is still thoughtful, but the two of us are too curious." He smiled apologetically.
Shi Xuan looked at this girl and laughed a little dazzled beside him, not to mention Xu Tianqi: "Sister Yuqiong, why do you still call me Brother Shi, everyone has known each other for so long, just call me Tianqi." I knew it was Sister Yuqiong, you were curious about this, I would have brought you here a long time ago. As he spoke, he leaned over, looking like he had never seen a woman.
Yuqiong saw Xu Tianqi coming up, frowned slightly, looked left and right, and saw Shi Xuan and Mu Jin standing next to him, so she said to Xu Tianqi: "Brother Tianqi, I don't know who these two are?"
Xu Tianqi suddenly hadn't introduced, and hurriedly said: "This is the closed disciple of the elders in my sect, Senior Brother Shi Xuanshi, and this is my father's fifth disciple Senior Brother Mu Jinmu, who is my companion today." β
At this time, the three men in the distance happened to come over and heard Xu Tianqi's introduction, and one of them laughed like a white scholar: "Brother Tianqi, this is the 'master' you invited, what a hero is a young man." Come on, let me introduce you, this is my Uncle Jiancong, this is Uncle Daofeng, they are all famous figures in the rivers and lakes, let's communicate more, hahaha. β
When Xu Tianqi heard the introduction, his face turned blue, and he said for a long time: "It turned out that the sword on Ganlong Road killed the seniors back then, and the juniors lost." β
When the girl in red saw Xu Tianqi's reaction, her face turned stinky, and she said to the scholar: "Xia Wenhui, do you want to be ashamed, everyone junior bet, what is it if you invite the elders and masters of your family to come! My fifth brother is very obedient to the rules." β
"Girl in brocade, you can't talk nonsense in front of Miss Yuqiong, I don't know when this rule was set, when I made a bet with Brother Tianqi, I never said that I couldn't invite the elders to sit in town. Xia Wenhui was very proud.
"Okay, seventh sister, don't say it, Senior Brother Shi, this is the most outstanding heir of Yuhuamen's generation, Meng Yuqiong Meng girl, this is the seventh sister Xu Jinyi of our Xu family's fourth room, it's just that their house moved to Luojing more than thirty years ago, and they rarely come back, so you haven't seen it. β
Shi Xuan greeted the two girls with his hand, and was about to speak, when Xia Wenhui took over and said, "Hey, Brother Tianqi, why don't you introduce these two young 'heroes' to me, is it because I don't have enough martial arts and can't climb high." The two fierce middle-aged men behind him glared at Shi Xuan, Shi Xuan only felt that there was a murderous aura rushing over, at least killing hundreds of people, only then did he have such a strong murderous aura.
It's just that Shi Xuan has been practicing the Divine Contemplation Method for so long, and this level of murderous aura has no effect on Shi Xuan at all. Shi Xuan smiled and shook his head, ignoring it, he was going to stare back, add some small tricks, and let these two murderers suffer some dark losses, but their appearance is really not in line with Shi Xuan's appetite, it is better to look at Yuqiong's big beauty and the little beauty in brocade clothes if you are in that mood, of course, Shi Xuan is not a little virgin for ten thousand years, the current cultivation is heavy, beauty, just take care of your eyes.
Meng Yuqiong saw that Shi Xuan and Mu Jin didn't answer, afraid that Xu Tianqi would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly played a round and said with a smile: "Since everyone is here, why don't you go in, speaking of which, I've never seen a ghost, I don't know if I can get my wish this time." β
The beauty spoke, of course Xu Tianqi and Xia Wenhui had no problem, Xu Jinyi must be with his fifth brother, Meng Yuqiong of course had to go with his best friend, Xia Wenhui had to take his two elders and walked in first.
"Brother Tianqi, those two were really sword double kills on Ganlong Road back then. Meng Yuqiong asked Xu Tianqi as she walked.
Of course, Xu Tianqi knew everything, and said everything: "Well, a few years ago, I heard my father mention that the sword double killing somehow provoked Qu Hanshui, one of the Eight Heavenly Kings of the Power and Money Gang, was chased and killed and fled to Yangzhou like a lost dog, and later threw himself under the Xia family, and with the help of the power of the Drizzle Building, he was saved from this murder. β
Xu Tianqi and Meng Yuqiong were talking in front, and the little girl Xu Jinyi took a half step back with interest, and looked at Shi Xuan curiously: "I said Senior Brother Shi, I have been wandering around the clan every day during this time, why haven't I seen you, Senior Brother Mu Jinmu, I have seen it a few times." β
Shi Xuan had to use the excuse made up by the Xu family and said: "My master is an elder who lives in seclusion, likes to be quiet, and lives in a small alley in the west of the city, and of course I live there too." β
"Oh, I don't know which elder it is, but after I came back, I visited them one by one, which elder is your master. "The little beauty in brocade has the spirit of breaking the sand pot and asking the end. Meng Yuqiong also seemed to be a little interested in this question, Shi Xuan's keen senses brought by his powerful soul cultivation felt that Meng Yuqiong had secretly shifted her attention, you must know that she had heard that Shi Xuan was only Xu Tianqi's junior brother, so she didn't pay too much attention to him.
Shi Xuan's face was straight and said, "It's been nearly a year since the family teacher died. β
After saying this, Shi Xuan felt Meng Yuqiong's gaze fall slightly on him and retracted it.
Seeing this, Xu Jinyi stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Shi." By the way, I don't know what level you have practiced martial arts, and how you compare with the third brother. β
Shi Xuan thought to himself that this was really difficult to compare, if he was only compared to martial arts cultivation, he would tell the truth: "If you have fist and foot kung fu, it must be Senior Brother Xu who is more powerful." As for the question of the realm, I chose to ignore the surname.
Because this was said vaguely, it attracted Meng Yuqiong's attention, and Shi Xuan's keen senses sensed that Meng Yuqiong's gaze was slightly projected onto himself.
The little girl Xu Jinyi didn't seem to hear any ambiguity: "That is, my fifth brother is a famous young genius in the rivers and lakes." β
Shi Xuan was also idle, and said to the little girl with a smile: "I don't know what level of martial arts you have practiced now, Sister Jinyi?" Xu Jinyi listened to Shi Xuan for a while and called him so affectionately, and gave him a blank look, but when this question was asked, he still replied happily: "I can break through to the Qi cultivation period recently." "I was very proud, and my face was full of praise and admiration.
Of course, Shi Xuan was as good as flowing: "Sister Jinyi, you are really powerful, not worse than your fifth brother back then." Xu Jinyi was very happy, and he and Shi Xuan began to chat. The little girl doesn't have any city government, and during the time she entered the house to the middle hall, she even admired Liu Suiyun, one of the four sons of martial arts, and told about it, what Liu Gongzi was already an acquired master at a young age, and he was the most promising master to enter the subtle realm (the martial arts realm corresponding to the out-of-body realm is the subtle realm, according to Xu Laodao, the soul has grown to the out-of-body realm but there is no out-of-body method and is reflected in the physical senses), the person is handsome and versatile, why don't those Jianghu wise old people include him among the five great masters in the world, it is really no visionγ
Because it was not completely dark, when he entered the gate, he could find that the whole house was very atmospheric, and there was no gloomy feeling at all, until he was about to enter the middle hall, Shi Xuan keenly felt some gloomy taste.
Before entering the middle hall, Xu Tianqi quietly lagged half a step behind and whispered to Shi Xuan: "That sword double kill was a famous murderer on Ganlong Road back then, killing people without blinking, and carrying more than 100 murders on his body, I remember that my ancestor said that this kind of evil person is something that ghosts have to avoid." β
Shi Xuan thought for a while, and said to Xu Tianqi with a smile: "I have my own way to ensure that you have a great face in front of your sister Yuqiong." Then Xu Tianqi took a quick step and entered the middle hall side by side with Meng Yuqiong and Xu Jinyi.
And Shi Xuan and Mu Jin, a tall boy who was so taciturn that he was often ignored, entered later.
