Chapter 36: The Inkstone
Seeing Li Tiancheng's suspicious appearance, Xiao Xiaobai couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said, "Wine, in fact, I have drunk it." It's just that I didn't drink this kind www.biquge.info of wine, but the medicinal wine that Master gave me when I was a child. ”
"Hey, when it comes to that medicinal wine, I'm.. vomit.." As he spoke, Xiao Xiaobai, who turned to the side and turned his head sideways, seemed to vomit.
"Hey, Xiaobai, what's wrong with you? Really drank too much?" Li Tiancheng couldn't help but get up hurriedly when he saw this: "No, I didn't tell you, you really can't drink, let's drink less, you..."
Xiao Xiaobai, who waved his hand and raised his head, hurriedly took another glass of wine, and then smiled at Li Tiancheng, who was slightly stunned, as if he was relieved: "Uncle Li, I'm fine! I just remembered the medicinal wine that Master gave me to drink, that taste! Just thinking about it, I felt my stomach churning in a panic, and I felt a little sick to my stomach." ”
"Oh.." Li Tiancheng, who sat down a little abruptly, couldn't help but smile curiously and asked, "What, Xiaobai, is the medicinal wine that your master gave you too strong, or is it too bad and too bad to drink?"
Xiao Xiaobai smiled depressedly and hurriedly said: "Don't mention it, it's ten times more difficult to drink than traditional Chinese medicine." At that time, I drank so much that I didn't eat well for a month, and I lost a lot of weight. ”
"Is it such an exaggeration?" Li Tiancheng laughed dumbly when he heard this, but he didn't know that Xiao Xiaobai actually had something to say yet! When Xiao Xiaobai drank that kind of medicinal wine for the first time, he almost vomited out bile. At that time, Lao Dao's face changed from red to blue, from blue to black, and the corners of his mouth trembled, which was even more wonderful than changing his face.
As the so-called good medicine is bitter, although the medicinal wine is unpalatable, it is the old way that has spent a lot of effort and used a lot of precious and rare Chinese medicinal materials. Seeing that Xiao Xiaobai vomited directly, the blood in Lao Dao's heart was gone!
With such resentment, when Lao Dao later gave Xiao Xiaobai medicinal wine, almost all of them were hard poured, and after pouring it, Xiao Xiaobai vomited, and he was directly knocked unconscious and thrown on the bed, and when he woke up, he still wanted to vomit, but he could only vomit stomach acid, and the medicinal power of the medicinal wine was absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.
Unexpectedly, a bottle of Moutai was drunk by Xiao Xiaobai and Li Tian, if it weren't for Aunt Li's words to stop him, Xiao Xiaobai would also say that he wouldn't drink it, and Li Tiancheng would have to get another bottle of Moutai.
When dinner was about to end, with a cat meow, the black cat actually came down the wooden staircase railing from the upper floor of Aunt Li's house.
"Hey, Xiao Hei, come here, come to grandma," Aunt Li turned her head and couldn't help but smile and said to the black cat.
Xiao Hei was also very obedient, and screamed obediently, and Lingxing fell into Aunt Li's arms, letting Aunt Li hold it and help it smooth its hair with her hands.
Xiao Xiaobai couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw this scene, Xiao Hei had never been so well-behaved in front of him!
Li Tiancheng, on the other side, smiled and watched Aunt Li feed the little black things to eat. He had seen how powerful Xiao Hei was, and knew that this was a psychic black cat that could even be eaten by evil ghosts. With such a black cat by Aunt Li's side, it can be described as a talisman, and he no longer has to worry about Aunt Li encountering any more ghosts and evil spirits.
Xiao Xiaobai, who was moved in his heart, remembered that it seemed that Aunt Li had two accidents in a row, and they all knew about it because of Xiao Hei himself. It seems that the relationship between Aunt Li and Xiao Hei is indeed very good, and Xiao Hei is so nervous about Aunt Li.
remembered that before she got the inheritance of the Xiaoyao Immortal, that time Aunt Li was affected by the yin spirit and fainted in the courtyard, in fact, it was Xiao Hei who saved her, Xiao Xiaobai actually did nothing at all. However, at that time, Aunt Li didn't expect a black cat to be so powerful, she just thought that Xiao Xiaobai saved her.
"Meow.." Under the care of Aunt Li, Xiao Hei, who was quickly full of food and drink, couldn't help but shout at Xiao Xiaobai, and then jumped to the ground flexibly and went upstairs. At the corner of the stairs leading upstairs, the black cat barked at Xiao Xiaobai again, as if urging him.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiaobai couldn't help but get up and follow with a rush in his heart.
"Hey, Xiaobai.." Li Tiancheng and Aunt Li were stunned when they saw this, and then the mother and son glanced at each other, and they also hurriedly followed upstairs.
In the living room of the small number one upstairs, Li Tiancheng, who came up later, saw Xiao Xiaobai's serious expression, and couldn't help but step forward and ask cautiously: "Xiaobai, what's wrong?
"Uncle Li, what is that room for?" Xiao Xiaobai asked noncommittally, pointing to the room in the corner of the side.
Looking at the little black paw scratching the door at the door of the room, Li Tiancheng said: "That was my father's previous study. ”
"Study, can you open the door and let me in?" Xiao Xiaobai asked in a deep voice.
Before Li Tiancheng could speak, Aunt Li on the side hurriedly said: "The key is in my room, I'll get it!"
Seeing that Aunt Li hurriedly went downstairs as she spoke, Li Tiancheng was a little silent before he couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiaobai with a slightly tangled expression and asked, "Xiaobai, you said that the evil ghost that haunted my mother is really... Is it really my father?"
"This.." Looking at Li Tiancheng's expression, Xiao Xiaobai seemed to hesitate before saying, "Uncle Li, in fact, after this person dies, there are many remnants of spiritual thoughts, but most of them will dissipate over time. There are only a few special cases that may survive or even have some changes. ”
Seeing Li Tiancheng nodding thoughtfully, Xiao Xiaobai continued: "And before, the ghost attached to Aunt Li couldn't be regarded as a ghost in the real sense, it could only be regarded as a sinister energy. It's just because it absorbs a trace of your father's spiritual thoughts, so knowing some fragments of your father's memories, can make Aunt Li enter the dream realm and feel that it is your father. But in fact, it has no autonomous consciousness, and only relies on an inexplicable instinct to influence others. Such an existence can be said to be very pitiful and pathetic. Rather than let it exist like this, or even slowly grow to affect and hurt more people, it is better to let it really disappear. People die like lights go out, Uncle Li, you don't have to worry too much. ”
"I understand!" Li Tiancheng, who nodded lightly, couldn't help but have a somewhat complicated expression on his face.
"Uncle Li, the ghost is ghostly, it is impossible to appear for no reason. Xiao Hei should have discovered something, I think the thing that can make your father's remaining spiritual thoughts slowly transform into a ghost should be in this study," Xiao Xiaobai turned and said: "That kind of thing is the bane, I will see if I can help you completely eradicate it today." ”
Li Tiancheng's expression moved when he heard this, and he couldn't help but nod his head and said, "Okay! Xiaobai, Uncle Li listens to you." You are right, people die like lights out, and you can't keep the root cause of harm to the living. ”
While the two were talking, Aunt Li also quickly came upstairs and handed Xiao Xiaobai a key with some rusty stains.
Xiao Xiaobai, who took the key, walked directly to the door of the study, inserted it into the keyhole, and unscrewed the door.
Squeak.. The old door made a tooth-sour sound, and was directly pushed open by Xiao Xiaobai. Suddenly, the air convection caused the smoke and dust in the house to fly slightly, and a faint musty smell escaped from it.
Xiao Xiaobai, who stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and took two steps back, waited until the smell and smoke in the room had cleared a little, and then walked in.
The whole study room is not large, and it has fallen a layer of dust, and it is obvious that no one has taken care of it for a long time. On the quaint wooden bookshelves, there are still some scattered books, which are also covered with dust and even some traces of moth-eaten rat bites.
On the desk of the Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture style, which is also covered with a layer of dust, the pen holder and the pen mountain are covered with relatively thick dust, as if they have long hair. However, a quaint black inkstone, pitch-black with a faint crystal luster, but it was spotless, which looked extremely abrupt in this study, and quickly attracted Xiao Xiaobai's attention.
Meow.. When Xiao Xiaobai squinted at the inkstone, Xiao Hei also jumped down on the desk, staring at the inkstone and screaming.
Zhengse stretched out his hand and touched the quaint black inkstone, feeling the cold touch, and soon Xiao Xiaobai was slightly moved with a slightly raised brow. Xiao Xiaobai clearly felt that this inkstone contained a relatively strong cold energy, and it was very pure, there seemed to be a trace of scorching heat in the cold, and it was mixed with pure aura, and three different energies seemed to be completely fused together.
Xiao Xiaobai, who hesitated slightly, carefully injected a trace of internal qi into the inkstone. Suddenly, the originally simple and dark inkstone lit up like a misty light, and suddenly a curling black gas escaped out.
"It's not good! be careful!" Seeing this, Xiao Xiaobai's face changed slightly, and hurriedly retreated in front of Aunt Li and Li Tiancheng, mother and son, who were standing and watching at the door, and looked at the black gas escaping from the inkstone with some solemn vigilance.
