love you hell

The main house of the Xia family has been handed down for many generations, from the time when the ancestors of the Xia family entered the Taoist gate in ancient times, it has been passed down to the present.

Although several dynasties were changed during this period, and the darker era for Taoism and other Taoist sects, the Xia family finally continued.

After years of accumulation and development, the branches of the Xia family have spread across several countries.Of course... only a small number of people stayed in the main house to learn Taoism for various reasons, and the Xia family would not interfere with the choice of their descendants, except for the main family that had been established in the ancestral family rules.

In times of crisis, the Xia family branch should preserve the inheritance of the main family at all costs, and the main family needs to bear the burden of inheriting the Xia family's Taoism, and at the same time give the branch the help it needs in this special field.

It was this family rule that allowed the Xia family to survive.

Of course, it is also because of the Xia family's accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years that their main house has become the scale it is now.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was still a temple with great incense.

Although it has been rectified a lot after the reform and opening up, it still retains its original features.

For example, the Xia Family Hall was originally the most important treasure hall among the Taoist temples.

Stepping into the large and somewhat exaggerated hall, Zheng Jing immediately noticed a person standing not far in front.

Her long hair was curled behind her, and she looked a bit like Xia Qing at first glance, but the pair of black-rimmed glasses on her face and the more mature aura on her face distinguished the two.

Seeing the three of them coming in, the woman smiled and said, "Xiaoqing, I'm glad you're back."

Xia Qing wrinkled her nose, a little dissatisfied: "I don't want to come back, but you didn't look for me before? Sister Rin."

Xia Lin smiled, ignoring Xia Qing's small protest, and turned her gaze on Zheng Jing: "Yes, it's been a long time since I haven't seen her, and she seems to have grown up a lot. But, who is this?"

"Zheng Jing, Officer Zheng, in order to prevent the old man from using any means to lock me here and not let me leave, I invited you here." Xia Qing curled her lips.

Zheng Jing couldn't help but glance at Xia Qing. Before Xia Qing said that her father would use tricks to keep her, she was only dubious. So it was not just an excuse made up in front of her?

Xia Lin's gaze immediately took on some inexplicable meaning that made Zheng Jing's hair stand on end, and she stretched out her hand to Zheng Jing: "Hello, Officer Zheng, Xiaoqing must have troubled you many times, right?"

"Um...not troublesome, not troublesome." Zheng Jing could only reach out and shake Xia Lin's hand, and quickly let go. After repeating it twice, she felt that she had to change the phrase, "It's just because I got to know each other. The average student is different."

Xia Lin smiled knowingly: "Did Xiaoqing say something ghostly? You're laughing at me."

"..." You actually know? !Zheng Jing remembered that she had said something similar to "talk to the parents" to Xia Qing before, and suddenly began to worry about whether the decision to follow this time was the right one.

Reminiscent of the peculiar decoration of the gate just now and the layout of the main hall of this Taoist temple, this will not kill the whole family—ah no, idealists, right? !

"I went abroad to study law two years ago. Speaking of it, I haven't seen my little sister for a long time. I have a lot of things to say between sisters. Is it convenient?" Xia Lin's eyes are behind the glasses, and she can't see clearly. Emotions.

But Zheng Jing inexplicably found that her thoughts just now seemed to be easily answered.

Law, is Xia Qing's cousin a law student?Judge?lawyer?Half a colleague? !

The most important question now is of course not my own doubts.

"Oh, you guys talk, don't worry about me, it's okay." Zheng Jing replied immediately.

"That's okay." Xia Lin smiled, and fixed her eyes on Xia Nuo who was standing aside watching the excitement, "Xiao Nuo, come and take Officer Zheng around the yard, I think Officer Zheng has never seen us before. A unique building like this main house."

"Yes, sister." Seeing that he was being called, Xia Nuo immediately gave up struggling and accepted orders honestly.

"Remember that Police Officer Zheng is a distinguished guest, don't be negligent." Xia Lin's words sounded very polite.

But Xia Nuo made a bitter face when he heard it: "It's... my sister." It seems that I can't make a little joke along the way.

"Then we are preparing a guest room?" Xia Lin, as the eldest sister of the Xia family's generation, is very prestigious among her younger siblings. Of course, she arranged for this kind of time.

"No need." Xia Qing finally said this time, "If you're tired from playing, just take it to my room. She will sleep with me tonight."

"Oh~" Xia Nuo smiled strangely and dragged on for a long time, until he was watched by Xia Lin and Xia Qing, he immediately oiled the soles of his feet, and brought Zheng Jing as an excuse, "I will take Officer Zheng out to have a look first, Don't worry, I will arrange everything!

Finally, under Xia Nuo's guidance and Officer Zheng's approval, the entire hall fell silent, and even Xia Xuan was lured out by Xia Nuo's beckoning.

"Xiaoqing, tell the truth, that Police Officer Zheng?" Xia Lin couldn't help but have a keen sense of intuition and judgment, and her behavior style was also unusually crisp and neat. Coupled with her serious expression, no one could think of fooling her.

In the entire hall, apart from Xia Lin and Xia Qing, not even the maid who usually cleans is there.

Facing Xia Lin's question, Xia Qing was only silent for a while, then nodded straightforwardly: "That's right, I like her."

The expected answer made Xia Lin feel a bit embarrassed: "Xiaoqing, have you thought it through?"

Xia Qing frowned: "Sister Lin is talking about sexual orientation? I don't think that's..."

"No, Xiaoqing." Xia Lin interrupted Xia Qing very simply, "That's nothing, but that policeman doesn't believe that there are many things in the world that can't be explained by current science, am I right? .”

Xia Qing paused, remembering the countless times Zheng Jing had insisted on her materialism in Gui Ling—even under Gui Ling’s annotations, she twitched her lips: "So I brought her back, Rin elder sister."

Seeing Xia Qing's expression, with an unconscious smile in the corners of her eyes that had always been unrestrained, Xia Lin finally relaxed and patted Xia Qing's shoulder: "Uncle seems to have something to do, he won't show up until tomorrow morning, You can get ready tonight."

"Don't worry, sister Rin, the old man and I... can't figure it out anyway." Xia Qing seemed to hesitate for a moment, "Should we just quarrel and fight?"

This time, Xia Lin's eyes also brought a smile: "You can think like this, it seems that you have really grown up." Go back to your room and rest, jet lag really hurts."

"Okay, let's talk about sister Lin's affairs after sister Lin has had enough sleep." Xia Qing said with a smile.

"Little devil!" Xia Lin patted Xia Qing's face funny, and left the hall first.

And Xia Qing stayed here alone, lost her mind for a while in the middle of the hall, then went out, called a servant in the corridor on the right, and sent her to find Zheng Jing and Xia who were wandering somewhere. Nuo, it means that she has returned to the room, and when they are tired from walking, they will send Zheng Jing there.

As a police officer, Zheng Jing's physical strength is not bad, and Xia Nuo is also a person who usually exercises a lot. Xia Qing asked the servant to pass the message like this, and also estimated the time when Zheng Jing would be sent back, and then went back to the room by herself.

Xia Qing's room in Xia's house is not as exaggerated as the hall. There are two rooms in total, separated by a door in the middle.

Entering the room, the first thing you see is a bedroom with a simple layout, with desks, chairs and bookshelves, and it still has a student atmosphere.

Xia Qing didn't have much nostalgia for this room, she just took a quick glance to make sure that nothing was missed, even two sets of bedding had been placed on the bed, and she directly opened another door in the room to enter the inner room.

The light in the room was very dark, and the windows were blocked by shutters, but Xia Qing was very familiar with this place. After entering the door, she turned right and took three steps, reached out and accurately pressed the switch on the wall to open the door of the room. lamp.

The light that can be called soft is shining, and the layout of the room can be seen clearly.

Everyone who has lived in the main house of the Xia family has this kind of room, and it is absolutely forbidden for servants to enter and clean it.

However, it is such a room that has never been cleaned since Xia Qing left. When someone stepped into it for the first time, there was no dust at all, and it was terribly clean.

A huge mahogany table was placed on the east side of the room. A series of tablets were neatly arranged on the table. On the table in front of the tablets was a bronze incense burner, which seemed to have a history of many years.

Xia Qing walked over, took out a handful of incense and a lighter from the desk drawer, lit three sticks of incense and put them on the incense burner, and then watched silently.

Three wisps of green smoke rose straight up, but they didn't reach the roof.

A strange phenomenon appeared, the three wisps of green smoke rose less than one meter before being cut off in the middle of the air, simply speaking, they disappeared halfway.In addition, the three sticks of incense were burning at an extraordinary speed, and within 5 minutes, all three sticks of incense were burned out, leaving only a piece of freshly burned incense ash.

Xia Qing didn't care about this, when all the incense was burned, she took out three more, just like the first time, and lit it on the incense burner again.

Same as the first time, there is no difference between the green smoke cut off halfway and the abnormally fast burning incense.

This was repeated three times. When Xia Qing plugged in the incense for the fourth time, this time, the green smoke was not cut off and disappeared, just like the usual situation.

Xia Qing looked at it for half a minute, then clapped her hands and put the remaining incense and lighter back into the drawer of the table: "Finally full?"

In the empty room, there was only Xia Qing alone and a pile of tablets. Her voice sounded extraordinarily empty.
