The days of being Mary Sue's brother

"……this painting……?"

As if he didn't expect Xuan Wutao to make such a request, Mr. Hao was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't react for a long time.

"Master Hao, can you take down that painting and let us have a look?" Seeing Master Hao's hesitant look, Ye Lanzhuo repeated Xuan Wutao's words again.

Although he didn't know why Xuan Wutao wanted to look at this painting...

Only then did Master Hao come to his senses, and hurriedly said: "But this, this painting is here..."

"Have you calmed down?"

"……what?"

"This painting, put it here, is it calm?"

Xuan Wutao's words made Mr. Hao speechless for a moment.

"If it's useless, just take it off." Xuan Wutao said, "Put it there, but it will attract evil spirits even more."

"But back then..."

"Master Hao, I would like to ask, what is the origin of the person who gave you this painting at that time?" Before Master Hao finished speaking, Xuan Wutao asked again.

"This..." Master Hao hesitated for a moment, and said, "We didn't ask about this at the time... Xiaoyan found it back then, saying that he is a very powerful Taoist..."

"Xiaoyan?" Ye Lanzhuo looked at the door, Master Hao nodded.

"Master Hao, if you believe me, can you lend me that hanging painting for a few days." Xuan Wutao said: "This hanging painting, hanging here, has only disadvantages and no benefits."

When Mr. Hao heard the words, he hesitated for a while, as if he couldn't make up his mind. Ye Lanzhuo said, "Mr. Hao, we will only borrow this painting for a few days. After checking it, we will return it. If Mr. Hao really doesn't believe it, The sword that I can hold next will reach..."

"Oh, I can't do it." Before Ye Lanzhuo finished speaking, Mr. Hao stopped him, and after a long while, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Xuan Taoist, Hao will believe you Once. I am really desperate now, please help us."

"Master Hao, don't worry, he is amazing." Ye Lanzhuo did not forget to brag about Xuan Wutao at this time.

"Just now what Master Hao said is all about the Hao Mansion, so what happened in Mei Town?"

Seeing that Master Hao had ordered someone to take down the hanging painting, Xuan Wutao looked at Master Hao again and asked.

"The strange thing in Meizhen is... it still happened in the Jinghong Niangniang Temple..." Mr. Hao paused, and said: "It happened to be around the few days when I started construction and wanted to expand the house. Someone heard about it at night. There were people singing near Jinghong Niangniang Temple, but when they walked over to see, there was no one there. Later, some people saw balls of green fire nearby, but they all only flashed for a while and then disappeared... Just a few days ago..."

Seeing that Mr. Hao was hesitant to speak when he said this, Ye Lanzhuo said: "Mr. Hao, but it's okay to say, if there is anything we can do, we will definitely try our best to help."

Hearing this, Mr. Hao hesitated a few times, and said with some hesitation: "Furthermore, there are... a few days ago, a few outsiders passed by our Mei Town... the people in the town before... Remind them that the town has been haunted recently, but these people are very brave and not afraid. They don't have any money with them, so they simply go to the Jinghong Niangniang Temple, trying to make do with the night, and think that it is a temple after all, so it should be Can be blessed, who knows..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Hao sweated a little on his forehead, wiped it off with his sleeve in a hurry, and said falteringly: "Who knows, someone went to look at it early in the morning of the second day, and saw that outside the Jinghong Niangniang Temple, On a willow tree, hangs, hangs a dead person, the whole body is intact, but he is dead, his legs, both legs have been cut off completely, and his whereabouts are unknown..."

"Is it the person who lived in that temple the day before?" Hearing Master Hao's words, Ye Lanzhuo's spine felt chills and asked.

"Yes, there are seven people in that group." Master Hao said: "When someone saw the person hanging on the tree, they went to knock on the door of the Jinghong Niangniang Temple. When no one opened the door for a long time, some bold people took the axe. The door was split open, and as a result, the remaining six people inside also died and fell to the ground, except for one of them... his legs seemed to be scorched, and the rest of them were unscathed... "

"That is to say, all seven people died?"

"Yes..." Master Hao wiped his sweat again, nodded.

"Is there any damage on the body?"

"Except for the two who were charred and had their legs chopped off, everyone was unscathed."

"Why is it always related to the legs?" Ye Lanzhuo leaned close to Xuan Wutao's ear and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that this ghost had his legs broken before he was alive?"

"Do you still remember the dream of his wife that Master Hao told about just now?"

"His mother-in-law?" Ye Lanzhuo was taken aback. "His mother-in-law asked his wife why did she break her leg?"

"And when Mrs. Hao was dreaming, she walked with a limp."

Hearing this, Ye Lanzhuo seemed to understand a little bit for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully.

Then he turned his head, looked at Mr. Hao, and asked, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Hao, I want to ask you one last thing. A few days ago, the Taoist who was with your wife...cough, did you have any questions last night?" came?"

"Is that the heretic?" Mr. Hao said, "I heard from Xiaoyan that he came yesterday, but Xiaoyan felt that I had rested and didn't want to disturb me anymore, so I drove him away. I don't know now. Where did he go."

"Okay." Ye Lanzhuo nodded, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked: "By the way, Mr. Hao, what happened in the Hongniangniang Temple, and Mrs. Hao started talking nonsense, Is it all what happened after you wanted to expand the courtyard?"

"That's right." Master Hao said, "Before, my wife was having nightmares, dreaming or something..."

"Then I wonder if Mr. Hao can take us to the place where Mr. Hao plans to expand the courtyard?" Ye Lanzhuo asked.

"This..." Mr. Hao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay, but there is nothing special about that place, it's just in the northwest corner of my mansion, so I'll take the two of you there."

Following Mr. Hao, the two walked all the way to the courtyard in the northwest corner of the mansion.As Mr. Hao said, there is nothing special about the small courtyard, except for a willow tree planted in the middle of the courtyard.

"Willows like cold and wet. I just heard Master Hao say that there are willows near the Jinghong Niangniang Temple. This place is dry land in the northwest, so it shouldn't be suitable for willows to grow." Ye Lanzhuo looked at the willow tree and said: "Look Look, this willow doesn't look like dry willow, it's really strange."

"I don't know about that." Master Hao said: "When the mansion was first built, I almost didn't cut down all the trees in this open space. Except for the ones that would affect the building of the house, the others were kept as long as possible. This willow tree It was here before the mansion was built."

"It's strange." Ye Lanzhuo looked up at the willow tree, it happened to be early spring, and the silk ribbons were green, stroking the wind lightly.

Just as he was about to talk to Xuan Wutao about the willow tree, when he turned around, he saw Xuan Wutao had walked to the side of the yard at some point.

It is the northwest corner of the courtyard.

At this time, some tools and bricks and sand were piled up in the northwest corner. Master Hao said, "Oh, I thought about expanding this courtyard, but when I encountered such a thing, I had to give up."

Ye Lanzhuo walked over, saw Xuan Wutao standing there with his head down, looking thoughtful, followed Xuan Wutao's gaze, looked at the ground in the northwest corner, and asked, "Why? gone?"

"It's nothing." Xuan Wutao said: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

"Ah?" Ye Lanzhuo was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Indeed, the further you go to the northwest corner of this house, the more eerie it feels."

"The problem may be here." Xuan Wutao said, then turned to Master Hao, and asked, "Master Hao, when you expanded the courtyard before, did you find anything here?"

"No." Mr. Hao said: "To build the yard, I dug the ground three feet before, but nothing was found. Now I can't build it, so I can only build the wall back."

"So that's how it is." Xuan Wutao thought for a while, and then said: "Master Hao, we have learned something about the matter in the mansion today, when I go back and discuss it with Mr. Zhang, I should be able to give the master an answer tomorrow."

"Really, really? That's really great!" Hearing this, Mr. Hao was overjoyed, and then asked: "Those two, do you need to meet my wife?"

"No need." Xuan Wutao said: "As for Mrs. Ling, we will ask the previous Taoists. After all, Mrs. Ling is a female relative, so it is not convenient for us to meet."

"Okay." Master Hao said: "Then I'll give you two as a present, this time I'm really thankful for you two."

"No problem." Xuan Wu said.

After leaving the gate of Hao's mansion, Ye Lanzhuo saw Xuan Wutao looked at the little goose at the door more than once.After finishing the courteous greetings with Mr. Hao, Ye Lanzhuo hurriedly asked after walking out of Hao's mansion, "Xuan Wutao, did you see it?"

"See what?"

"You can see what's going on in the Hao Mansion."

Hearing this, Xuan Wutao bowed his head, took out from his bosom the hanging painting that he had just asked Master Hao for, and said, "No, it's just a guess."

"Then let me guess your guess?"

Xuan Wutao turned his head, looked at Ye Lanzhuo, and said, "Okay."

"You suspect that there is something wrong with the person who hung the paintings for Mr. Hao, and there are also problems with his paintings."

"Not bad." Xuan Wutao nodded.

"You suspect that there is something underground in the courtyard in the northwest corner of Hao's mansion."

"En." Xuan Wutao continued to nod.

"You suspect that all these things were done by the same person from beginning to end, or that they were done by a ghost, and this ghost's legs and feet are not very good."

Xuan Wutao looked sideways at Ye Lanzhuo, "Then can you connect them?"

"No." Ye Lanzhuo shook his head: "I'm definitely not as good as you. You're still at the stage of guessing. How can I get it all right?"

Hearing this, Xuan Wutao sighed.

"Since you dare to guess, it proves that it is almost done." Xuan Wutao shook the hanging picture in his hand, and said: "The rest, we will go..."

But before he finished speaking, before both of them paid attention, a black shadow flashed in front of them, so fast that neither of them could react in an instant. , has disappeared!

……what's the situation?

Ye Lanzhuo was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly reacted, and Xuan Wutao beside him had already quickly picked up the fairy, and chased after the man in black.Seeing that there was no one around at this time, Ye Lanzhuo simply picked up the demon spirit and hurriedly followed.

The man in black was so fast that Ye Lanzhuo and Xuan Wutao couldn't catch up with him for a while.Just as Ye Lanzhuo was about to take out the Jueming Ling, Xuan Wutao suddenly snapped his fingers together, and the Si'e sword was already out of its sheath, and stabbed towards the man in black in front.

Ye Lanzhuo originally thought that the man in black would avoid it, and then continued to run forward. Unexpectedly, the man in black turned around after avoiding the sword, and stopped running forward, and then a blue light flashed in his hand, He actually took Si E who flew over directly into his hands!

Seeing this, Ye Lan was startled.The weapons of this cultivator are recognized by the master. Unless the master approves, outsiders cannot use them, and even hold other people's weapons...

But this man...

The next second, the man suddenly lowered his body, landed on the roof, and threw the Si E in his hand back to Xuan Wutao.Xuan Wutao and Ye Lanzhuo also followed him to the roof, Xuan Wutao took over Si E, and rushed up again without saying a word!

"Xuan Wutao!" Ye Lanzhuo subconsciously called out.

"Stand back." When passing by Ye Lanzhuo, he only heard this sentence in his ear, and saw the two over there fighting on the roof like this!

wait you two...?

Ye Lanzhuo felt that he was in a daze now.

Then he realized that the man in black was not dressed in black like the assassin in the TV series, but was originally dressed in a black robe with arrow sleeves, with black hair in a simple bunch behind his head, and his appearance could be considered handsome.But the most eye-catching thing is the weapon that the man just pulled out from behind...

That is a giant sword!

If the giant sword could be erected, it could almost completely block a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child. At this time, the man swung the seemingly impossible giant sword in his right hand with one hand, accompanied by the blue fairy Ling, directly slashed at Xuan Wutao!

Xuan Wutao used his wings to dodge it, and Si E intersected with the giant sword, and sparks erupted. Ye Lanzhuo stood not far away, mourning silently for the households under the roof.

While thinking, the giant sword smashed another hole in the roof.

The family in the basement didn't respond, Ye Lanzhuo couldn't help being a little curious, is there no one living in the house in the basement?If you want to live in people, it will be a long time ago.

And it's still going on like a raging fire over there.

Regarding Xuan Wutao's strength, Ye Lanzhuo has always been very reassured, but at this time, when he saw the man in black on the opposite side, he did not seem to have the slightest advantage in the battle with Xuan Wutao, and he couldn't help thinking that this man was quite talented ah……

Since Xuan Wutao didn't let him intervene, there must be his considerations, maybe he was afraid that he would be discovered by people using the demon spirit, but at this time, seeing the two fighting for a long time, he watched the battle here for a long time, Seeing that the two still didn't want to stop, Ye Lanzhuo was in a hurry, and just about to release Jueming Ling secretly to help Xuan Wutao, when the two of them suddenly met with a fierce sword, and then both were ejected a little distance away , Xuan Wutao drew a sword flower in mid-air, and stood firm not far away, while the person opposite also swung the giant sword around, and stopped on the other side of the roof.

At that time, Ye Lanzhuo thought that thanks to the bad weather today, there are few people on the street, and this is a small road, otherwise people would have to surround the street to watch the excitement...

And the two over there finally stopped, standing on both sides of the roof, holding sharp weapons, looking at each other.

Ye Lanzhuo, who was standing in the middle, expressed that he was in a panic.

After a while, just when Ye Lanzhuo thought that these two people were going to stand longer than anyone else, someone finally spoke.

But it was not Xuan Wutao.

It was the man in black.

I saw the man in black swung the huge sword, and then easily put the huge sword on his back, then looked at Xuan Wutao who was opposite, and said with a smile: "Minglang, I haven't seen you for many years, you have regressed a lot?"

Minglang?

This person not only recognized Xuan Wutao, but also called him?

After coming to this ghostly place for a long time, it was the first time Ye Lanzhuo heard someone call Xuan Wutao by his name instead of respectfully.

...Could it be that they...?

"You have made a lot of progress." Xuan Wutao lowered his head, retracted Si E into the scabbard, and replied casually.

Ye Lanzhuo listened to the conversation between the two, and that premonition became stronger and stronger...

"Why, you're here in Meizhen, and you're here to find me for a fight?"

After breaking his wrists, the man in black walked forward, looked at Xuan Wutao, and asked.

Then his eyes fell on Ye Lanzhuo who was beside him.

Seeing that he was looking at her, Ye Lanzhuo quickly turned her gaze to look at Xuan Wutao.

At this time Xuan Wutao also came over, approaching and said: "Bing Yan, he is the one I told you about earlier."

"What...? Tell me..."

Just as Ye Lanzhuo was about to ask, Xuan Wutao's eyes were still on the man in front of him, and he opened his mouth slowly:

"Immortal domain name Xia, turn around."
