The Ascension of Ghosts

Yun Ye also learned well, and clearly wanted Xie Rong, knowing that he was difficult to speak, so he just begged Lu Sheng blindly.

As expected, Lu Sheng replied: "I have to ask Xie Hou about this matter... Ah Rong, the wild boar hunted [-] days ago has been matured, and it tastes the best. Why don't you settle this matter earlier and I'll roast it for you. "

Xie Rong came here full of resentment, and wanted to drive Yun Ye away.Hearing Lu Sheng say "Get over it earlier", he changed his original intention and turned to Ruozhu and said, "Call Yan Xiu to come in."

Lu Sheng's hand holding the teacup froze suddenly.

Ever since he learned of Yan Xiu's identity, Lu Sheng was very polite when he saw him, not daring to ignore him in the slightest.Even if he saw a tiger-striped kitten drying its belly on the window sill, Lu Sheng would not dare to forget that this is an ancient divine beast guarding Shenzhou, and he always had to feed him a few more dried fish. a tendency to gain weight.

But Xie Rong didn't understand what violence is, so he passed on a majestic beast and ordered him to find Guo Yuan's whereabouts.

Yan Xiu took the order, but stood still, lowered his head and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Hou, is it Guo Yuanguo editor of the Imperial Academy?"

Lu Sheng originally thought that he was a divine beast, but was used as a hunting dog to find people, so he asked this out of resentment. For a while, he was worried that Xie Rong would also get angry.Xie Rong only narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, do you know where he is now?"

Yan Xiu smiled wryly and said: "...Don't dare to lie to Lord Hou, the humble position really knows."

Yun Ye jumped up and said sharply, "It's you! Could it be you who locked up Qingquan?"

Yan Xiu said frankly, "Exactly."

What he said was natural and straightforward, Yun Ye didn't know what to do for a while, but fortunately Xie Rong and Lu Sheng also stood up, Xie Rong said: "Go and see?"

Lu Sheng nodded and said, "Go and have a look."

A group of people left the city and rode their horses in the direction of Shilipo. Led by Yan Xiu, they arrived at a small house at the foot of Meihua Mountain.

The house was quiet and deserted, but it was cleaned very neatly. Presumably, there were people taking care of it on weekdays. Even a few cherry trees in the backyard were properly pruned.Yan Xiu went straight into the door and led everyone to a big room in the backyard. The room was empty, except for a big brass bell that was as tall as a person on the ground.The surface of the big clock is different from that in the monastery. On the contrary, there are countless ghosts, monsters, and beings in hell, which are very strange.

Yun Ye looked around, but there was no sign of Guo Yuan, so he frowned and asked, "Where is Qingquan?"

Yan Xiu didn't say a word, he just stepped forward and knocked on the big brass bell. After the heavy ringing, a trembling voice suddenly came from the bell: "Wh, who is it?"

It was Guo Yuan's voice, and Yun Ye hurriedly stepped forward to beat it, but felt that the wall of the clock was as thick as a copper wall, even if ten warriors were invited to lift it, he could not lift it, so he hurriedly called out: "Qingquan? Brother Qingquan? "

Guo Yuan said in the bell: "Brother Yunye? Is it Brother Yunye?! I am Qingquan, please help me!"

Yun Ye said: "Brother Qingquan, don't worry, I'll find someone to tear down the courtyard and carry the bell!"

Yan Xiu interjected: "Mr. Yun is not allowed, this house is under someone else's name, if it is demolished at will, I'm afraid it will make the owner unhappy."

Yun Ye said angrily: "Who is the owner of this house, who dares to detain the court officials arbitrarily! Aren't you afraid to report to Jing Zhaoyin and cause trouble!"

Just as Lu Sheng was about to speak, Xie Rong gently held his hand, and said slowly, "The ins and outs, why not listen to Guo Yuan explain it himself. If you explain clearly, I will naturally have a way to let him out."

Lu Sheng replied: "It should be so. Guo Bianxiu, whose surname is Lu, is a meritorious officer of the Qingming Department. If there is any grievance, I will submit it to Jing Zhaoyin's desk for you, and avenge your grievance."

Seeing this, Yun Ye had no choice but to follow Lu Sheng's words and said, "Qingquan, don't worry, just tell who and why you were locked up. Lu Gongcao enforces the law impartially and will definitely avenge you."

Unexpectedly, the big brass clock was silent for a while, Guo Yuan said expectantly: "I, I don't know... I was walking halfway and suddenly my eyes went dark, and I was trapped here when I recovered."

His lie was really clumsy, even Yun Ye didn't know how to defend him, the room fell silent for a while.

Yun Ye thought about it, and became more and more confused, so he had to ask again: "Qingquan, something happened to Fourth Miss Xu, and you said that you will try to solve it... How did you manage it? Could it be related to this matter?"

Guo Yuan hurriedly replied: "That's right, that's right. I heard that the Temple of the Medicine King is very effective. I thought that as long as I sincerely beg the blessing of the Bodhisattva, I would be able to save Xiuniang... Who knows, who knows that Huang Daxian is so powerful that even Bodhisattvas are not afraid either!"

Xie Rong snorted coldly, walked out the door with a flick of her sleeves.

Lu Sheng hurriedly pulled him back, turned his head and sighed, "Editor Guo, your words are not true, how can people believe you?"

Guo Yuan was silent for a while, before sighing quietly in the copper bell: "...Guo committed the crime himself. Guo has no destiny with Xiuniang, and... the world, and will never dare to be greedy again. This matter...is here Let it go. Everyone, please go back."

Yun Ye was in a hurry, and slammed his fist on the brass bell wall, "Guo Yuan! It's so good, why are you going to seek death?"

Guo Yuan sighed in the copper bell: "I can't die. Brother Yun Ye, please take care of Brother Yu, and Brother Yu will thank you again some other day."

Yun Ye was confused by him, and asked blankly: "Brother Qingquan, I don't understand this. Tonight, Fourth Miss Xu will be kidnapped by Huang Daxian. Are you...will you just watch?"

Guo Yuan remained silent in the copper bell, and made up his mind not to speak again.

Xie Rong turned around and left, Lu Sheng looked left and right, neither staying nor leaving, when he was in a dilemma, Xie Rong grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the room.After a while, Yun Ye also came out in a daze, probably because he was kicked out.

Since Guo Yuan's life was not in danger, Lu Sheng stopped worrying about it and only worried about Fourth Miss Xu.But Xie Rong said with a smile: "Huang Daxian's wedding is better than seeing it once, don't miss it."

Lu Sheng sighed: "Ah Rong, you are clearly here to save people, why do you have to say something that is misleading."

Xie Rong got on the horse, stared at him with contempt, and said, "Are you going or not?"

Lu Sheng sighed to himself, of course he was going, Yun Ye had no choice but to follow behind the two of them and return to the city.

Ruoyi didn't know where the sacred itinerary was a few days ago, and he just showed up at dusk today.Xie Rong felt that she had waited too long, so when she was resting in the teahouse, she borrowed a pen and ink, wrote a few talismans, ordered someone to fetch a bucket of well water, dipped the talisman papers into the bucket, and handed them over to a few servants to make them Zixiao Lane sprinkled water all the way to the main gate of Xu Mansion, leading the way for the monster.

Then he ordered Ruosong to bring the name card to Xu's residence, and said with a smile, "Just tell the old man that I am glad to hear that the daughter of your family has left the cabinet today, and I am here to congratulate you. As for the congratulatory gift...Mr. Yun will make it up sometime later."

Yun Ye spouted out a mouthful of tea, Ruo Xia turned her head, pressed her lips lightly to hold back a smile, Ruo Song also had a dull expression, holding the famous post as if holding burning coals: "D-you really want to say that?"

Xie Rong said solemnly: "Really."

Only Lu Sheng rubbed his forehead and sighed again: "Ah Rong, human life is at stake, you can't joke around. If you keep messing around, I'm leaving."

Xie Rong's face was full of worry, but she still changed her tune and said: "Forget it, tell him the truth."

Ruo Songruo was pardoned, fearing that Xie Rong would change his mind again, he trotted all the way out of the private seat to deliver the letter.

Everyone had a simple lunch, and then they went to Xu Mansion slowly.

Xu Langzhong and his wife looked haggard, they had been waiting in the mansion for a long time, and when they saw An Guohou, they were in a hurry and did not mention the courtesy.But after waiting for half a cup of tea, a porter stumbled over to report: "There are people outside the door begging to see the master and madam, saying that they are here to pick up the relatives."

Xu's couple and Yun Ye both looked at Xie and Lu, but Xie Rong only looked at Lu Sheng, and said casually: "Let him in."

Xu Langzhong inevitably hesitated, Lu Sheng said: "Lord Xu, don't worry, just let him in."

The old man was still indecisive, but Mrs. Xu was more decisive and ordered the housekeeper to invite him in.

After a while, the housekeeper led a young man in, and everyone's eyes lit up.This young man was only of a weak age, dressed in green clothes, his features were very handsome, but between his glances, there was a hint of evil spirits, his eyes were particularly cold.

The young man stepped forward, smiled and clasped his fists to the Xu couple and saluted, "My son-in-law has met his father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Xu's and his wife's faces were pale, and they dared not answer, let alone refuse, so they looked at Xie Rong as if asking for help.

Only then did Xie Rong put the teacup in Ruoxia's hands, and said with a cold snort: "So it's you, brat, when did you have the patience to get married?"

The young man heard his voice first, and then he seemed to see Xie Rong present, his body was shocked, his face turned pale as if he had seen a ghost, he staggered back two steps, then hurriedly lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt tremblingly: "Mr. ...Sir? Qingfeng didn't know that Mr. Xie was here, so he was negligent, and begged Mr. Xie to forgive him."

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded and froze for a while.

Or Lu Sheng asked in astonishment: "This... Ah Rong, so you recognize this person?"

Xie Rong said: "Not only do I recognize it, you should too."

Lu Sheng turned his head to look at the young man again. Although he felt that his face was vaguely familiar, he still couldn't remember it for a while. When he was pondering, the young man raised his head and said with a smile: "Mrs. His name is She Qingfeng."

Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat: "The owner of Dawangzhuang, She Qingliu, is..."

The young man said: "It's my sister."

Lu Sheng suddenly realized, and asked again: "So that's the case. It's just that Young Master She came to get married, such a big event, why didn't Sister Ling accompany you?"

She Qingfeng's expression changed again and again, Qiqi Ai said: "This... this... my sister..."

He was racking his brains to say something, but suddenly he heard Xie Rong sneer and said: "Now that things are going on, do you still want to get married?"

She Qingfeng suddenly cried and said: "No, I don't dare..."

Lu Sheng had a lot of doubts in his mind, so he could only ask, "Ah Rong, what's going on?"

Xie Rong said: "I'll tell you later...She Qingfeng, hurry up and undo Xu Si's nightmare technique, do you want me to do it myself?"

The last two sentences are naturally cold and coercive, to scare She Qingfeng.

The young man hurriedly fumbled in his sleeve, and took out a simple coarse cloth purse, but threw it at Xu Langzhong's feet angrily, "Take it and burn it, it will be fine naturally."

Xu Langzhong was so startled that he took two steps back and nearly fell.Mrs. Xu was also calm, stepped forward to pick up the purse, opened it, and found a yellow talisman wrapped around a bunch of hair, feeling uneasy, asked: "...how to burn it?"

She Qingfeng glared at her: "Throw it into the fire!"

Mrs. Xu hurriedly collected the purse, and said to Xie Rong: "Thank you, Marquis Anguo, for your help. The whole Xu family is grateful."

Xie Rong said: "Madam Xu doesn't need to thank you, just give me a few branches from the lychee tree in the back garden, and I will owe you nothing from now on."

Mrs. Xu said: "It's a trivial matter, the Marquis of Anguo is serious. I don't know what the Marquis of Anguo wants the lychee wood for? The concubine is the most suitable person to choose."

Xie Rong said: "Roast meat, wild pork that has been aged for [-] days."

The corners of Madam Xu's mouth curled up slightly, and there was a little smile on her sad face, and she said: "It turns out that An Guohou is an expert, and I must personally choose the best lychee wood."

She was blessed now, and went to burn her purse to save her daughter.

Xie Rong didn't delay here, and took She Qingfeng away from the Xu Mansion, and went to the small courtyard at the foot of Meihua Mountain again. This time, there was no need to hurry, Xie Rong, Lu Sheng, Yun Ye and She Qingfeng took the same car carriage.

Lu Sheng and Yun Ye followed all the way back and forth, and they have no clue yet. Yun Ye finally couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at She Qingfeng and said angrily: "So you are playing tricks behind your back? What kind of monster are you? How did Qingquan offend you?" ?”

She Qingfeng has an arrogant personality, but he glanced at him indifferently, turned his head to look out the window, and actually ignored him, his expression and demeanor, he learned a little bit from Xie Rong.

Yun Ye became more and more angry, and his face was flushed red. Seeing that the two men were about to fight, Lu Sheng hurriedly called out: "Yun Ye." He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Qingfeng, let me guess. Just a guess. You held Guo Yuan in the bell without any malice, but to trap him."

She Qingfeng lowered his eyelids and nodded silently.

Lu Sheng said again: "You didn't intend to marry the daughter of the Xu family, but you deliberately competed with Guo Yuan because he wanted to marry him."

She Qingfeng nodded silently again.

Yun Ye wanted to reprimand again, but Lu Sheng raised his hand to stop him. Lu Sheng continued, "Qingfeng, you... like Guo Yuan."

She Qingfeng's face was flushed red, his fingers tightly grasped the hem of the clothes on his legs, but this time he nodded his head heavily, and sighed: "Lu Gongcao has a clever plan."

Lu Sheng glanced at Xie Rong subconsciously, and thought to himself that it's my clever calculations, but I just saw that what She Qingfeng did was somewhat similar to someone.

Xie Rong leaned on the soft couch in the carriage, looking at him with a half-smile, Lu Sheng's heart softened a little, he couldn't utter the words of reproach, he just said: "I met Guo Yuan, explain it clearly to him. There is only one thing, if he refuses, in the future, he will be different from the two, and we must not force others to make things difficult."

But She Qingfeng muttered: "But Mr. Xie..."

Lu Sheng glared at him sternly, and said, "Mr. Xie never pushes others to make things difficult."

She Qingfeng looked bewildered, thinking that this was completely different from what he had heard in Zhuangzhong, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to be reluctant to answer.
