Rise of the Light of the Elf

During the last Mid-Autumn Festival with Sarno, Xisang only played around in the streets, so he didn't have a clear understanding of the entire royal city.But this time it was different. When we set off, the wind had died down and the moon had emerged.The group of them set out from the mansion, following the shadows dancing and dancing on the rooftops, all the way south, becoming more and more frightened as they went.From this row of buildings, she seemed to see a stark contrast between wealth and poverty.

Those close to the center of the palace were the manors of high officials, each covering an area of ​​about 17 acres (about 8800 square meters today).There are many courtyards in the manor, not only pavilions and pavilions, surrounded by corridors, rockeries and trees, but also small bridges, flowing water, insects, fish, flowers and birds.

Continuing southward along the street roofs, there are mostly streets extending in all directions. There are small courtyards next to the streets. Most of the people living in these campuses are businessmen doing business here.

Further south, close to the royal city, there are small courtyards lined up in a long strip.Each courtyard was made of earth and had five rooms, covering an area of ​​about three to five acres (approximately 170-300 square meters today).These long rows form deep alleys.

And the person they are looking for is deep in this alley.Seeing the shadow falling into the garden, Xisang also jumped down.It was eerily quiet inside the low earthen house, with the occasional sound of dogs coming from the surrounding houses.This house is strange, there is not even a dog.

Xisang gently pushed open the door of the room on the right, and a strong smell of blood hit his nose.

"Damn old man, it seems that it is just as I expected. There is something strange about my father's death." Xisang frowned and said to Mr. Mao softly with a serious look on his face.

In the dark room, Mr. Mao's expression was difficult to distinguish.But it is not difficult to feel his heavy heart at this moment from the air pressure around him.

Shadow lit the pottery lamp on the table with a flint, and a stink emitted from the room.

"Damn old man, what does this smell like? Why does it suddenly stink?" Xisang said, covering his nose.Her nose is much more sensitive than that of humans, so the smell is really pungent and unpleasant to her.

Mr. Mao raised his eyebrows and said: "You were born in a Taiwei family, and you have no worries about food and clothing. Naturally, you don't know that the lighting that most people can afford is just a paste made of animal fat, which burns easily." It just smells bad. And powerful families add spices to the lamp ointment, so of course it smells good."

Xisang had been to very few places since he was a child, so he didn't know there were so many places, so he said "Oh" in embarrassment, then lowered his head and began to observe the corpse of the deceased.

I saw a middle-aged couple lying on the bed.There is a thick callus on the right hand of the man. It seems that he is a man who often holds a bow and arrow. It seems that he is undoubtedly the person who delivers the message.There was no stab wound on their bodies, they died from bleeding from their seven orifices.

The shadow checked the other four rooms in the courtyard and reported back: "Master, young master, the two old men and four children are all dead, bleeding to death from the seven orifices."

"What a ruthless person! Killed all eight members of the family." Mr. Mao said with a solemn expression.

"There are no stab wounds on the body. There is bleeding from all the orifices. He must have died of poisoning, right?" Xisang asked.

"Well, it looks like the blood has dried. He must have died last night. It's just that no one entered the courtyard, so no one noticed it. Shadow One, spread the word about this tomorrow. Make sure to spread it everywhere. All. Just say that the mourner died, and Taiwei Jiang died strangely. However, I think what King Nie cares about now is not how your father died, but whether the war in the north can be subsided. Girl, you have to do a good job. Be mentally prepared. This matter may not come to an end."

"I didn't count on them at all. Those people are just looking for people to make dumplings. It's a fruitless thing. They find it troublesome to bother with it, so they will probably get rid of it hastily. It would be better if there is someone with power to help investigate. But. Nowadays, when people are gone, no one will buy my father's favor. It's better to rely on them than to rely on myself. I will find a way to find that person and avenge my father. I will follow my father. After comforting the soldiers on the battlefield, I will leave. No one on the battlefield has returned, so I have to go to the north to meet my father's soldiers, ask them the whole story, and then make the next step."

"Girl, do you want to leave soon? Your father is not here now, and there is that weird woman who wants to harm you. I'm afraid you will be in danger here." Mao Lao said worriedly.

Xisang shook his head and said: "No, dad is gone, but I have to complete this last thing for dad. If I don't do it, but leave it to my servants, what will be left behind Money will only be greedy in the hands of others. Human nature is greedy and selfish. It’s not that I don’t believe them. They are all good, but who doesn’t have a few weird relatives? I’m afraid of those seven aunts and eight aunts. If you ask me If friends do it, they will be a drag on their friends. And for those soldiers who died, their families might be able to survive because of that little help. I often hear my father say that during natural disasters, people often starve to death. Sometimes they are sick. , having no money to hire a doctor is also a dead word, the life of the poor is too difficult."

Mr. Mao said with a gentle look on his face: "Girl, I wish I had known you were so kind-hearted. I wouldn't have..."

"It's not too late to find out now. Just be nice to me on my mother's behalf. When my mother passed away, didn't I say that I was a soul that traveled through time, and she was my mother in the previous life. So I believe that people The soul of a person is immortal. If that person dies, he will be reincarnated. I believe that my mother has let go this time, and maybe she has been reborn. You don’t have to blame yourself too much. In fact, I don’t It's your fault. After all, you didn't mean to harm your mother. It was me. I was the one who dragged my mother down. But I also heard others say that you are not good to my mother. That's why I don't want to call you grandpa. Reason." Xi Sangdao said while wiping his tears.

"I thought you were lying to your mother, just to make her feel at ease." Mr. Mao said with a shock.

"Of course not, what I said is true." Xisang said seriously.

"But don't believe in yourself too much. I heard that the Summoning Clan seems to be able to summon the souls of the dead back to the world. I don't know exactly how to do it. Those are the secrets of the Summoning Clan."

She had forgotten that the place she was in now was a different world, which was different from her previous life.I need to find out more about this clan in the future, why does it sound so sinister, Xisang thought.

However, Mr. Mao continued: "Since you have decided not to leave yet, you must not slack off during your free time at home these days. You still have to practice the sword skills I taught you in the first half month. I will teach you new moves in the evening. You learn quickly, I think you will be able to master my swordsmanship in a few months."

"Not tomorrow night. I have to go see Cui Sheng. Let's start the night after tomorrow. Don't worry, I will practice normally. I am no longer a child." Xisang said firmly.
