The Ascension of Ghosts

Xie Rong was in the Xici room, enjoying the new lacquerware sent by the fief, Ruoxia led several male and female servants, and was registering each piece of exquisite and luxurious utensils, when Ruodee suddenly said crisply outside the door: "Lu The son is here."

The bamboo silk door curtain was opened, and Lu Sheng, dressed in black and gold, with hakama pleats of tiger and leopard flowing cloud pattern, walked in with a handsome face and a radiant look.

Xie Rong's face sank, "I left in the morning, what are you doing now?"

Lu Sheng groaned, but he didn't know how to explain.

Xie Yu and Yun Ye met Lu Sheng in the name of Xie Rong in order to deceive others, and now Lu Sheng had no choice but to visit Xie's mansion.

Seeing Xie Rong's indifferent expression, he sighed inwardly.An hour ago, he thought that Xie Rong was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he had a little friendship with him, but now it seems that he is just pretending to be affectionate.

Lu Sheng then explained the matter of Xie Rong's meeting with him, and naturally concealed the secrets of the Yunfu, but suddenly sighed: "Xie Rong, are there ghosts in this world?"

Xie Rong put the three small screens with red lacquer and black patterns and peony carvings competing for beauty in her hands back on the table, but she didn't even lift her eyelids, and said: "The way of heaven is far away, ghosts and gods are difficult to understand. Evil, if you don't see it, you can't judge whether it exists or not."

Lu Sheng rolled his eyes, made up his mind, sat down beside Xie Rong, and said in a low voice, "Xie Rong, would you like to see me last time?"

Xie Rong supported his stomach with one hand, and gave him a sideways glance, "Xie Rong looked for you, so it was to see a ghost?"

Lu Sheng hesitated to speak, and waited for Xie Rong to wave back to the left and right, and then he told the whole story about the female ghost in red.

Xie Rong sneered, "It's really because of Xiao Lizhuang that you think Xie Rong has more trust in you?"

Lu Sheng sighed, "I know what Xie Xuan did, but Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong. He clearly wants to ask you to do it."

The Xie brothers are quite interesting, the eldest brother Xie Rongru, whose name contains Rongru, and his younger brother Xie Yuqizheng, who has Jin Youzheng in his name.

January is the first month, and February is like the moon. Tolerance may imply that tolerance is great, but it also means tolerance.Jin, on the other hand, has the meaning of progress and promotion.

It seemed that he was afraid that others would not see the family's determination to be the next generation leader.

It's no wonder that Xie Ting begged her elder brother to take action instead of going to meet Xie Rong, but instead made a detour and begged Lu Sheng to come.

It's just that Lu Sheng thinks that what virtue and ability can influence Xie Rong?If Xie Rong is unwilling, he will naturally not force it.

Thinking of this, he sighed again: "Xie Rong, it's my fault, don't bring this matter up again."

Xie Rong said, "I've seen Yunchan before. This girl is clever and wise, with a chest full of hills, far better than her idiot brother." He just thought about it for a moment, and suddenly sneered, "I'm afraid it's Yun Zizhang. That old idiot committed his own crimes, and Yunchan was implicated."

Naturally, Lu Sheng didn't dare to say that the minister in the palace was wrong, so he just gave up after hearing it. Xie Rong said again: "In that case, I will go with you."

Lu Sheng said coyly, "If you don't want to go, don't force yourself..."

Xie Rong glanced at him again, and said with a sneer: "Lu Gongcao, don't misunderstand, this trip is just a whim, just to broaden your knowledge, not to accompany you, and it has nothing to do with you."

Lu Sheng could only say, "Naturally, naturally."

Then Lu Sheng stayed and Ruoxia ordered the cook to entertain the distinguished guests. The cook recalled that he had been rewarded by the young master and had been warned a few days ago, so he learned from the pain and made four dishes and one soup: roasted delicious Fresh and juicy crispy roasted lamb chops; fried red and attractive, spicy and spicy five-flavored chicken; stewed soft and white, sweet and glutinous osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root; Golden hook cabbage; plus a dried abalone, scallop and quail soup that is overflowing with flavor and crispy.

Served with a few side dishes, such as crisp and sweet drunken radish, Wensi tofu with knives like a god, green and fresh shepherd's purse jade pier, all kinds of delicacies are placed on the black lacquer mother-of-pearl painted with pine cranes, dragons, turtles and auspicious clouds. In the fine food box, it is really pleasing to the eye, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, pungent, and full of seven flavors.

The helper saw it, and unconsciously said in a low voice: "Young master doesn't like sweets, and he doesn't like grilled lamb chops. He thinks it's hot and hot, and I'm afraid he will be scolded again."

The cook's surname was Zhao, and at this time, one of his subordinates packed a food box and gave it to the waiting maid. She sat on a bamboo chair with a cup of hot tea and squinted her eyes, and glanced at the subordinate slowly, "Young Master doesn't like it, so there are naturally people who like it. "

Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, Ruo Shuang came with her little maid, Chuan Gongzi ordered: "Serve another serving of roasted lamb chops and sweet lotus root."

The helper was puzzled and said, "But I don't understand."

Chef Zhao stood up with a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything. He just took the grilled lamb chops that were cooked just right, and said earnestly, "There's a lot of learning in this."

Lu Sheng feasted on it, especially the grilled lamb chops. I don't know what secret recipe the cook used. It has no fishy smell, is tender and juicy, fat but not greasy. It is not an exaggeration to call it the best in the capital.After drinking and eating, he held a cup of Ruoxia's secret herbal tea and said comfortably, "Xie Rong, I'm afraid that no one in Jianye can match your cook."

Xie Rong said: "It's his job to please people with delicious food. It's rare for him to be thoughtful, Ruodee, let's see and appreciate it."

Ruodee responded with a smile, and gave orders. Everyone in the kitchen was rewarded, beaming with joy, and said that today's guest is indeed a distinguished guest.

The helper admired Cook Zhao very much, and from now on he would obey him and serve him with all his heart.

The two of them stayed late at night before they left Xie's mansion. Because it was rumored that several places where female ghosts encountered ghosts were near Luoma Bridge, Xie Rong abandoned the car and walked. Carrying a lantern.

The two of them first walked along Luoxing Alley, and unknowingly there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around. The two gradually went deep into the inner city and came to a wide and quiet street.

Lu Sheng shivered suddenly, the white mist in his breath seemed to be getting thicker, and he said in a low voice, "What's the sudden cold?"

Xie Rong said: "The Jiujiu cold dispelling picture has not been drawn yet, so it will naturally be cold."

Lu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and just now he recalled what the Nine-Nine Cold-Removing Picture was, and he couldn't help rubbing the back of his head: "I only drew half of it and left it unused, but I failed my sister-in-law's efforts to frame it... Who is it!? "

Lu Sheng noticed a shadow flashing in the corner of his eyes, shouted loudly, and was about to draw his sword in a hurry, but Xie Rong pressed the back of his hand and pressed the hanging pot back into its sheath.Xie Rong stopped Lu Sheng, Shi Shiran turned around, and smiled at the dark intersection on the left: "I haven't seen you for two years, Lady Yun is gone."

In the dark and boundless darkness, there suddenly sounded a chuckle, vague and indeterminate, which caused Lu Sheng to tremble all over his back, and he froze on the spot, not daring to move.

Xie Rong took two steps, but she didn't know whether she intended to do so or not, she blocked Lu Sheng behind her, and made a peer salute to the intersection, and said: "I haven't congratulated Mrs. Xiyun yet, a good couple is born, and we will be together forever."

In the dark shadows, a bright red figure finally emerged, walking out from the darkness.

The woman was wearing a red satin dress embroidered with five-color gold thread. Layers of skirts were piled up like fire clouds. Under the dim light of the lantern, the colors shone like rays of light. The phoenix seemed to be flapping its wings, following her every step. One change, like flowing clouds and stars, twinkling and beautiful, rare in the world.

She has a fair complexion, black eyebrows, crimson lips, towering temples, a phoenix hairpin fixed in her hair, and a pearl the size of a thumb swaying in front of her brows, sprinkled with an illusion of pale gold.

What's more, this beauty is more luxurious and graceful, which is incomparable.

It's just that her eyes are dark and dull, and she is extremely incongruous with the jeweled attire, which makes ordinary people creepy and weird.

She walked out of the street slowly, her rings jingling, and the silk and satin also made a pleasant rustling sound, she gently raised her left long sleeve, covered her lips with a smile and said: "I dare not thank you for your good words. , it would be better for Yunchan to live as she pleases and carefree right now."

Xie Rong smiled and said, "Baoyang, let me catch up with my old friend."

But whenever Xie Rong called him to express his name, it was because of something else.Lu Sheng knew that with Xie Rong's ability, let alone his action, he nodded slightly, and took a few steps back with the lantern, but he felt that the walking was difficult and the chill was biting, as if walking in the ice and snow.After all, he was worried, and whispered: "Be careful."

Before Xie Rong could speak, the beauty in the phoenix crown and xiapei smiled coquettishly: "Oh, what are you worrying about, my son, you are a fairy-like figure, Yun Chan will never dare to get involved, for fear that he will be swallowed alive if he is not careful. gone."

Hearing her frivolous words, Lu Sheng didn't have the slightest demeanor of a lady, so he frowned slightly, but didn't talk to her, and only looked at Xie Rong.

When Xie Rong went out, she changed into a bamboo green and indigo dark dress. At this time, she took off the cloak outside and handed it to Lu Sheng. She walked towards Yunchan and said softly, "Since Miss Yun can do whatever she wants, Why don't you come to thank someone?"

Yunchan's dark and dull eyes were slightly dazed, and it took a long time before she said shyly, "I'm going to look for you, will you accept me?"

Xie Rong said: "If you don't try, are you willing?"

Yunchan was moved, approached Xie Rong, and called out in a harsh voice, "Young Master Xie..."

Xie Rong raised his hand, and a silvery white light shot out from his sleeve, turning into a white rope, binding Yunchan tightly from head to toe.

The beauty suddenly changed her face, she was dressed in red and struggled endlessly under the rope like a living thing, her face was pale and distorted so that one's heart was chilled, she was furious and her voice was hoarse and harsh, she shouted: "Xie Rong! How dare you lie to me! You and other men are all liars who deceive the world and steal their names, and villains with a small heart! I must—”

Xie Rong waved her hand lightly again, a golden talisman suddenly appeared in mid-air, which went straight into the center of Yunchan's eyebrows, the woman finally closed her eyes and passed out, but she still stood where she was, supported by her clothes, Ken fell to the ground.

Xie Rong looked at the red dress struggling for a while without moving, then turned her head and said: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't carry her back."

Lu Sheng couldn't recover for a while, and said in a daze, "This, this is the end? It's too soon... What is it..."

Xie Rong sneered coldly: "I don't know what kind of ghost possesses Yunchan and wants to lure me into it."

Lu Sheng was speechless, and after a while he said, "It's clear that you tricked her into falling for her."

Xie Rong said: "This is a plan. She relied on her beauty, seduced men one after another, took his energy and took his life, and now she finally got her retribution."

He took the cloak from Lu Sheng, put it on by himself, and took the lantern, and said, "You have eaten two roasted lamb chops, and now you need to work a lot to avoid the food accumulation. Carry her back and worry about it later."

Lu Sheng turned his head and saw that the woman was tied up with a white rope, but she was standing upright in the middle of the road, with only one head tilted to the side, her shape was extremely strange.Unconsciously, his back felt cold, he responded to the voice, but couldn't move half a step, only staring at Xie Rong eagerly.

The author has something to say: Xie Rong: I didn't go there for you, don't be too sentimental.

Xie Rong: I didn't order two because you like grilled lamb chops. Don't be too sentimental.

Xie Rong: I didn't stand in front of you to protect you, so stop being sentimental.

Xie Rong: ...

Lu Sheng: Well, I know everything, no matter what you do, it's not for me.

How did Xie Rong become tsundere... otz
