Volume 1 Born in South Vietnam Chapter 369 Haunted House Cao Zhai

It was rare for these monks to meet "senior masters", and they were hoping that the other party would give them guidance on their cultivation, but Xue Wenrui didn't know anything about cultivation, and he didn't want to waste time, so he sent them away with a few kind words.

When the Gu family saw Xue Wenrui just a few words, they shocked more than twenty immortal elders, and the horror in their hearts was like a stormy wave. Especially the old man Gu and the eldest prince, they didn't expect that the immortals they "picked up" on the road were so extraordinary, and they could even make the immortals raised by the ten major families feel like mice seeing cats.

The whole Gu family was secretly happy in their hearts, with such an immortal as a support, it was difficult for the Gu family to be underdeveloped. The whole family looked at Xue Wenrui's eyes and was full of awe and heat.

That night, the Gu Mansion held a grand banquet for Xue Wenrui, and Xue Wenrui did not refuse. Although monks can open valleys, because life was too difficult when he was a child, Xue Wenrui still has a lot of nostalgia for food.

The Gu Mansion not only prepared a sumptuous wine and food, but also prepared a wealth of programs, including mortal opera, juggling, etc., and the whole Gu Mansion was lively and lively, as if it was a festival.

At the wine table, Xue Wenrui asked the eldest prince Gu Xinghua about the purchase of elixirs several times, as well as the changes in the Gu family these days. When he learned that the Gu family had risen because of the purchase of elixir, Xue Wenrui felt funny in his heart, and the monk's gestures could actually affect the rise and fall of a family.

Fortunately, the scattered cultivators in Kyoto City were afraid of Xue Wenrui, and they did not make a move against Gu Xinghua, nor did they make a move against the Gu family. If it leads to some unnecessary trouble, it will make Xue Wenrui feel uneasy.

In addition to chatting, Old Man Gu also picked up some interesting things about Kyoto City and told Xue Wenrui to listen. There are tens of millions of mortals in Kyoto City, and there are countless strange things to do.

For example, Old Man Gu saved and preached an incident, which aroused Xue Wenrui's interest.

There is a large mansion in Kyoto Castle called "Cao Zhai", which was originally the residence of Cao Guangdi, a member of the first rank of the court. But in the past few decades, hundreds of people in the Cao Mansion have inexplicably become dried corpses at home, including Cao Guangdi, a first-class official, which shocked the government and the opposition for a while.

The imperial court immediately asked the Zhuji monk who was sitting in the town to check, but there was nothing abnormal in the entire Cao Mansion except for the yin qi, so the Zhuji monk had no choice but to disperse the yin qi.

But after that yin qi was dispersed, within a few months, it would slowly condense again, and the foundation building monk went a few times, and he got annoyed, so he simply let it go, because he found that the yin qi would not overflow outside Cao's house.

Later, a few low-level monks were not convinced, and they also tried it, but the yin qi was not dispelled, but they themselves went back to heal for several months because of the yin qi entering their bodies.

Since then, no monk has tried again, and Cao's house has become an abandoned house, and no one dares to live there. Later, many beggars lived in it one after another, but these beggars all turned into skeletons, and finally were sucked out of their flesh and blood by those yin qi, and died miserably.

Therefore, after a few years, Cao's house has become a completely deserted place, and even beggars are reluctant to go there. Even the people near Cao's house gradually moved out.

But just two years ago, another female beggar moved into Cao's house with two little beggars, and many well-wishers persuaded her, but the woman was so stubborn that she just didn't listen.

However, the woman did not seem to be a dull person, she did not live in the Cao Mansion, but used a wooden board to block a small wooden house next to the gate of the Cao family, and the yin atmosphere here was much less than in the Cao Mansion.

Moreover, when the female beggar was begging, she also picked up some broken Buddha statues, cinnabar, realgar, dry peach trees, and other things to ward off evil spirits and overcome yin from time to time, and placed them around the cabin.

In this way, although the three female beggars were already looking like withered trees, they finally survived for two years.

But just a month ago, there was a little beggar who finally couldn't resist the invasion of yin qi and left the west.

In order to bury the little beggar, the female beggar staged a human tragedy of "selling herself to bury the child" in Kyoto City. It's just that she didn't sell herself, but another beggar.

It's just that the other beggar, although he is only seven or eight years old, looks very aura in his eyes, and is still a boy. But after all, he had been in Cao's house for two years, and those mortals were afraid that he would definitely have something "unclean" on him, and no one wanted to buy it.

Later, he was still a casual cultivator in the aura realm, and he was very pitiful when he looked at the female beggar, and threw a silver ingot to help them get through a difficult time.

Xue Wenrui was a little curious about this matter. One is about the yin qi of the Cao Mansion, in the spatial crack, he has had in-depth contact with the demons, and he can be said to be one of the low-level monks who know the demons best in the southern region of Nanyue Kingdom.

He listened to Old Man Gu's description, and felt that this "Yin Qi" might not be Yin Qi, but the demonic Qi he had encountered, if it was just Yin Qi, it would not be able to devour the flesh and blood of living people and Yang Qi so quickly.

The Zhuji monk who guarded the palace was afraid that he had never encountered the demon clan and had never seen the demonic qi, so he confused the demonic qi with the yin qi. And when I saw that there were no ghosts out to do evil, I did it hastily and didn't report it.

Moreover, he was very curious about the female beggar, and judging from the behavior of the female beggar, the other party should not be a stupid person, but why did she live in the Cao Mansion to find death? Since the people near the Cao Mansion have moved out, there are many empty houses next to it.

"Could it be that she has some intentions, or is she not a human, but a ghost?" Xue Wenrui remembered that Shui Ruyan once said that a large part of the source of the demon clan is ghosts. When a ghost encounters a cold place, it can absorb the yin qi and concentrate itself, and the soul will not disperse, and it can slowly start cultivating, although this kind of cultivation is the most primitive and extremely slow.

Xue Wenrui decided that he had time to go to this Cao Mansion to see where that demonic qi came from and whether there was a demonic cultivator hiding here. It was also a good deed to save the female beggar.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Gu Xingyuan, the second son of the Gu family, ran from the wine table to the stage, and arched his hand to Xue Wenrui and said: "Dear Xue Xianshi, Xingyuan is not talented, and he likes Danqing ink in his spare time.

With that, as soon as he waved his hand, someone sent the things that had been prepared long ago.

"Painting?" Xue Wenrui couldn't help but stop the wine glass in his hand, although he had studied literature since he was a child, he didn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but since he wanted to splash ink and paint in front of the public, he thought it should be very extraordinary. But even if the level of painting is extraordinary, why do you want to paint two paintings, isn't this delaying everyone's drinking? Xue Wenrui couldn't help but be curious.

But then he understood what was going on, there were actually two tables side by side on Gu Xingyuan's left and right, and there was a set of paper inkstones and pen and ink on each table.

Then, Gu Xingyuan's legs were slightly open, he picked up a brush in his left and right hands, dipped it in ink, looked left with his left eye, looked at the right with his right eye, and began to paint.

"Dual-purpose!" Xue Wenrui was shocked in his heart and stood up involuntarily.
