Shortly after the four of them left, they came to a spacious courtyard. The wings on both sides were closed, and outside the courtyard in the middle, there were several elderly women, who turned their heads but didn't dare to make too much noise, and their eyes looked at the doors and windows from time to time, obviously afraid that the people in the house would hear, and they saw that Steward Wang was coming, and immediately stopped making a sound, and stood quietly aside.

The steward stopped and told the three of them to wait, and he went up and said something to a woman at the door, who gave a proper salute, gently pushed the door open and went in, and soon a young girl came out of it.

The girl looked weak, her face was pretty but gentle, and her clothes were much better than those of the women around her, and she seemed to have no low status in this house, and she was now surrounded by a layer of sorrow and weariness between her brows and eyes, which became more and more endearing.

When Steward Wang saw the girl come out, his face immediately softened, and he politely said to the girl, "Yanran, what's going on inside?"

The girl first saluted Steward Wang, and when she heard his question, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she hid her face and said, "Madam, I'm afraid it's not very good." Now he is delirious and talking nonsense. ”

Steward Wang cried when he saw this, and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, Madame will be fine, you see, I came with a doctor." ”

When Yan Ran heard this, a pair of eyes immediately lit up, "Really?"

"No, you see, they're all waiting there. The doctor still came with the elixir, you can rest assured, quickly wipe it with a handkerchief, if it is not good for others to see. Steward Wang saw the smoke and weep, and his heart trembled fiercely.

Yan Ran smiled, and rushed to them every year, when he saw the picture of the old man with the medicine box and the two young women behind him, he couldn't help but be stunned, but the old man said hello to Yan Ran very calmly.

Yan Ran hurriedly said: "It turned out that the old gentleman came, come and take a look at our lady, she was fine yesterday, but she suddenly began to be confused early this morning, saying that she couldn't breathe, and pressed her neck desperately, not to mention that someone strangled her, and she didn't let people approach." I just stopped at this time, but I saw that I only breathed in and didn't breathe, which was terrifying. ”

The four of them were let into the house by the smoke, and the others were still waiting under the porch.

When I entered the room, I suddenly felt that the light was a little dim, and the air suddenly wafted with a vague fragrance. The room was quiet, not like a person at all, and Nian Nian frowned slightly, always feeling that this room gave people a strange and uncomfortable feeling.

Yanran led them lightly to the inner room and came to the bedside. On the exquisite and classical mahogany bed, the weeping man embroidered with flowers hangs layer by layer, making people wonder what is going on inside. Yan Ran invited the old man to sit down on the edge of the bed, and he reached into the bed and groped for a while, and then pulled a piece of the woman's arm out of the quilt under the pendulum.

The woman's sleeve was uncovered, revealing a well-maintained wrist, and the old man took a handkerchief and put it on it, and began to check the pulse. No one spoke all the time, and they all looked at the old man a little nervously. After a while, the latter shook his head and motioned for Yanran to put his wife's arm back into the futon.

Yan Ran and Steward Wang invited the old man to go to the outer room to talk, and no one cared about Nian Nian and Zhu Mei for a while. Every year I looked at such a spacious big bed, and after sweeping the left and right no one, I sat on the edge of the bed with my skirt on.

"Every year!"

"It's okay, anyway, this lady is not awake at the moment, such a big bed, I will sit for a while and not squeeze her. "I stuck out my tongue every year. "But sister, what is wrong with this lady? I don't know why, but I think this room is a little strange. ”

Zhu Mei frowned when she heard this, and after looking around, she also showed a puzzled expression, "I feel it too, it's very uncomfortable."

Nian Nian thought about it, looked at the layers of vertical man, and his heart moved. With a slender hand, Chuiman was lifted up, sliding down her white lotus arm, and glanced inside, but she didn't expect this glance to shock her deeply.

Behind the cascades of weeman, a woman was lying. At this moment, the woman's eyes were half open, but only the whites of her eyes could be seen, and there was a circle of crimson marks on her neck, and her mouth was slightly open, foaming at the white foam. What was even more surprising was that her exposed hand was not as slender and white as the hand when she had just checked her pulse, the bones were slightly deformed, and her nails had grown wildly and become sharp. Her face was like a stagnant mass, and her forehead was faintly black. After the initial surprise, Nian Nian blinked, and she suddenly saw the black mark hidden on the woman's forehead move, and then a substantial black mist appeared from the woman's face, as if a layer of skin had been torn off the woman's face, and it looked very terrifying.

The black mist squirmed slightly, turning into the shape of a human face, the empty eye sockets stared at Nian Nian, and the mouth without a jaw moved, spitting out a cloud of black mist.

Nian Nian pulled down the black mist when it was about to fly in front of him, keeping the mist inside, and then lay on the side of the bed gasping for air.

Zhu Mei also understood the situation inside at this time, she was slightly silent and then said seriously: "If I guessed correctly, that thing shouldn't just be called a resentful spirit, such a thick black mist is definitely not condensed in a day, this is only a difficult evil spirit to deal with, no wonder the woman we saw in the corridor earlier said that it had no effect on helping them exorcise so many heavenly ghosts." "Sister, did we meet those two people on the corridor just now to exorcise ghosts?" Nian Nian asked tentatively, she just heard Zhiyue mention the Fushan Taoist Temple, that Xuan Sheng is the Taoist priest of the Fushan Taoist Temple, and he has not systematically practiced magic every year, so he can't see the level of a person's cultivation, so he knows Zhu Mei's evaluation of the two of them.

Zhu Mei was silent for a while, and said hesitantly: "I didn't use the immortal method when I saw the two of them before, so I can't feel it, but that girl named Zhiyue shouldn't be very powerful, and listening to her tone, it seems that she can't restrain this evil spirit." How can you be interested in the two of them every year?"

"Oh, nothing, I'm just curious. Nian Nian quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but that Xuansheng still made her very worried. After all, a person who once almost broke the barrier of Chuanshan is really not to be underestimated, if he finds out, he may not be sure to leave safely with Zhumei every year.

As soon as Zhu Mei wanted to say something, she frowned, her body jumped lightly, and she was in another corner of the room in the blink of an eye. Looking closely, I saw that the black mist just stayed where Zhu Mei was standing, and seeing that the blow missed, the strange face was slightly distorted, revealing a strange voice that made people tremble: "What a perfect container, if I can live in it, I don't have to go to great lengths to devour the vitality of these mortals, hahaha." Then he floated over again.

The black mist scurried flexibly in the air, and the bead charm could only wave away in disgust, but every time the mist was dispersed, the next second it would gather somewhere else and shoot away at the bead charm.

Nian Nian was shocked in his heart, the wisps of resentment gathered in Zhu Mei's body were gray, and the black pillars of light caused by the outbreak of resentment were only accumulated by those gray resentment currents, and the fog in front of him was so dark and rich, the power of its evil thoughts can be imagined. And although Zhu Mei knows the immortal method, because of the restrictions of her own resentful spirit, the trick is of no use to this evil spirit at all. Seeing that Zhu Mei had been forced to a corner of the room, Nian Nian's face was suddenly covered with frost.

Dare to hit my sister's idea, then don't blame me for being unkind! Nian Nian's figure suddenly flashed, and he instantly chased after the black fog, stretched out his little hand, grabbed into the mist, and suddenly the black mist was like a fish that was held by the tail, and with a wave of his arm, the black mist was torn into a long strip and was thrown into the other corner of the room.

At this time, the housekeeper Wang and Yan Ran in the outer room heard the sound and hurried over, they naturally couldn't see this strange picture, Yan Ran's beautiful eyes were a little red and swollen because of crying, but she still asked Zhu Meihe to leave every year.

When he arrived at the outhouse, the old man sighed and said, "Your lady's illness is really strange, obviously her pulse is peaceful, but her breath is disordered, and I can't figure out the reason for it for a while." ”

"I don't need to know why, just destroy that kind of thing!" Nian Nian muffled voice, a pair of wonderful eyes with a cold light.

Everyone couldn't help but look at her in surprise, as if they didn't expect such a beautiful girl to say such a thing.

But Nian Nian raised his head and said seriously to Yanran: "This sister, please give me a little time, you vacate this room for me, no one is allowed to come in, I can cure your wife." ”

Yan Ran was a little stunned, Steward Wang just wanted to step forward and say something, the old man suddenly coughed and glanced at him, and after the latter understood, he temporarily changed his words: "Hehe, the girl must be very capable, she can pick wood lingzhi, and she can cure diseases, Wang really admires." He turned to Yan Ran again: "Yan Ran, why don't you let this girl try, our lady can't delay any longer, in case something happens without waiting for the imperial doctor to come, none of us can afford it." ”

When Yan Ran heard this, he bit his lower lip, and then reluctantly went out with the king's housekeeper. Nian Nian turned to Zhu Mei and said: "Sister, this evil spirit is too arrogant, I want to teach it a lesson, you go out first, let Steward Wang take you for a walk, and I will look for you when I am done." ”

Zhu Mei knew that the spirit body was strong every year and could restrain the evil spirits, and it could be seen from her easy success that staying here could only drag her down, so she nodded at the moment, told her to be careful and retreated.

"Bang!" Nian Nian closed the door of the opposite door and swaggered towards the back room.

Outside, Yan Ran and a group of maidservants stood outside the porch, their eyebrows and eyes full of anxiety. Steward Wang said to the old man and Zhu Mei: "Two, this is the residence of the lady, it is inconvenient for the two of you to stay here for a long time, why not let me go to the beautiful place in the house to walk, and also relax a little?"

Jewel nodded and followed them out. When she got to a small pool, Zhu Mei stopped and looked at the lush lotus leaves on the water, remembering that when she lived in the Sound Palace, she approached her bed with a large handful of lotus flowers every year, and the quiet fragrance seemed to be still lingering on the tip of her nose at this moment.

When Steward Wang saw that Zhu Mei was fascinated, he smiled and said, "Girl, if you like it here, you can take another girl to wake up Madame for a while, and I will bring her here to find you." Seeing that Zhu Mei didn't have any opinions, she left with the old man.

The two walked quickly to the back of a rockery around the corner, and the housekeeper Wang asked:

"What the hell do you mean today? Can these two girls save Madame?"

The old man stroked his beard, his eyes flashed, "Hehe, how can the old man be wrong when he looks at people, these two girls are definitely not ordinary." ”

"It's not an ordinary law, isn't it just luck to pick up the wood lingzhi. Steward Wang said disdainfully when he heard this.

The old man shook his head, "I don't think the two of them are completely telling the truth, they must know how to preserve this wood lingzhi for a long time, and the most important thing is that I think that by following them, they will definitely be able to pick better wood lingzhi!"

"You mean to let them take us to the place where we picked the Wood Lingzhi before?" Steward Wang asked after thinking for a moment.

"Exactly! And no matter what, I must get that method!" The old man looked at Steward Wang, and there was temptation in his eyes: "The best wood lingzhi is priceless, how about it? ”

Steward Wang was moved when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down and asked: "You don't have to enjoy such benefits exclusively, but you want to tell me, hehe, I'm not a fool, let's say, how do you want me to cooperate with you?"

The old man slowly raised his right hand, five fingers together in the shape of a knife, and slashed in the air, a cruel smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
