Jiajing Spiritual Records

Ning Huan frowned slightly, and a trace of irritability surged up in his heart: "Mr. Liao is dead..."

Seeing Ning Huan's frowning look, the waiter in the shop couldn't help showing a look of confusion on his face.Speaking of how many years ago the fire in Wenxianlou happened, and now, there are still people who spread the story around, so they are too uneasy and kind.The waiter leaned over to Ning Huan's side and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Ning, what's the matter with you today? Where did you find out about the storyteller?"

Ning Huan pursed his lips slightly, but did not respond.Yellow lanterns were hung outside, and the warm yellow light from the wine shop shone on Ning Huan's slightly depressed face.He raised his eyes and stared at the three big characters "Wen Xian Lou" written in new black paint on the mahogany plaque, his eyes became deeper and deeper.Ning Huan was silent for a while, then shook his head, turned around and prepared to leave.

Xiaoer shouted behind Ning Huan: "Hey, hey—Master Ning, you really don't want to come in and sit down..."

The waiter's voice was so noisy that Ning Huan was disturbed, he waved his hand: "Come again some other day——"

Ning Huan returned to the mansion, sitting alone at the table and thinking.The weird things that happened during the day are coming to his mind one by one.In this way, Mr. Liao is true, and the fire in Wenxian Tower was also true.Ning Huan frowned and thought uneasily, what exactly is that white-clothed female ghost trying to do?And in that weird wine shop, what did the guests next to him mean by "there is a ghost"?In that place full of lonely souls and wild ghosts, what did he want to tell himself?

Ning Huan sat in front of the desk with his cheeks drooping, his black eyes unblinking, staring at the candlestick in the distance, lost in thought.The candlelight flickered slightly, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed a bit.Ning Xi walked in, lifted the lampshade and replaced it with new candles.Ning Huan's round eyes followed the movements of Ning Xi's hands. With a "snap", Ning Huan suddenly stood up from the table, and the chair under him made a loud noise.Ning Xi was so frightened by the sound that his hands trembled, and all the burning candles in his hand fell to the ground. He hurriedly got up to pick them up: "Master, this is..."

"I'm going out for a while." Ning Huan interrupted Ning Xi's next words with a serious face.After thinking about it, Ning Huan still felt uneasy.Although Suxian seemed unwilling to mention to him the matter of his parents back then, but the female ghost in white appeared together with "Zhao Wanniang" and all kinds of strange things happened after that, it was too coincidental to make people suspicious.

"Master, but master..." When Ning Xi picked up the candle on the ground and looked up again, he looked around, there was no sign of his master in the room.Ning Xi stared at the open door and the shadowy night outside, he shook his head helplessly: "But the master said, you are not allowed to go out from now on—" Ning Xi was busy replacing new lamps and candles, The long tone murmured the second half of the sentence to himself.

Only then did Ning Huan step out of the gate of Ning Mansion, and two figures chased after the gate. "Where did he go?" Master Ning asked with a frown.

Ning Si rolled up his sleeves, raised his head and looked carefully at the direction the young master left. After hesitating for a moment, he replied: "This... this direction, it seems that the young master is looking for that Jin Yiwei again."

"I've been here all afternoon and it's not enough!" Master Ning flicked his sleeves and snorted heavily.

Hey, these two people are put together, how can you think it's been too long?Ning Si secretly said in his heart, but if you want to talk about this young master, practice makes perfect for playing truant and jumping over the wall on weekdays, how could he think of going through the gate at this time.Ning Si bowed and waited aside, he secretly raised his eyes and glanced at his master, seeing the sullen expression on Master Ning's face, Ning Si thought for a while, and cautiously tested his tone for the young master: "Master, this pursuit is still not good. Chase? Young Master, it seems that you haven't gone far yet."

"What are you chasing after? He disappeared in no time!" Mr. Ning said angrily, "If he has the energy to study, I don't have to worry that he won't be able to raise people?" Ning Si answered again and again, he You can't speak for the young master when the master is angry.

Master Ning didn't know what he thought of, he frowned and looked at Ning Si: "Besides, what if he ran away with that brat if I forced him like this? He was the one you grew up with. Do you think he has a brain? Know?" Master Ning snorted again, "Being coaxed by that little boy, that brat will run away without turning back." Master Ning gritted his teeth and turned around, "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run." Stepped into the house.

Mrs. Ning was reading a book under the candlestick in the house, when she saw Master Ning walking in with a dispirited face, she replied without raising her head, "Master, are you back?"

Master Ning saw his wife's leisurely expression, and said angrily, "You... your son doesn't care about him!"

Madam Ning slowly raised her eyes, looked at Master Ning and replied casually: "What the hell?"

"You!" Mr. Ning paused, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Longyang's addiction, it's really offensive to talk about it, so don't talk about him!" Mr. Ning rushed around the room and beat Turning around, "Tell me, why doesn't he learn well!"

Mrs. Ning frowned slightly, put down the book in her hand, looked up at Master Ning, took a sip of tea expressionlessly, and replied in a flat tone: "My son, he didn't steal or rob, he likes you The man is also your love and I wish, how can you be immoral, why don't you learn it?"

Master Ning didn't expect his wife to react like this, and his face was slightly taken aback.The tea on the table was cold, "But..."

Madam put down the tea bowl with a "bang", her clear and cold eyes were fixed on Master Ning.Master Ning immediately understood that something was wrong, and his tone quickly softened: "I... Ma'am, I didn't mean that, this... Isn't this... I hope he can learn well? How can there be children between this man and man?" Master Ning whispered authentically, "He is young and ignorant, doesn't Madam understand?"

"It's for his own good." Mrs. Ning raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth gradually curled up with a hint of coldness, "Ning Xianzhong, ask your conscience, are you doing this for my son's good, or for yourself, for your own sake? Your Ning family has a good reputation!"

Master Ning trembled in fright, and hurriedly persuaded him in a friendly voice: "Ma'am, I... I really didn't mean that. If I really wanted the reputation of the Ning family, I would have to force him to be a candidate. How can I tolerate him like this?" Fishing for three days and drying nets for two days?" Mrs. Ning turned her face away with a snort.The master rolled his eyes and changed the topic, "Then...then he went to the Jinyiwei mansion for a private meeting at night, let me tell you why he is right?"

Master Ning looked at Madam tentatively, only to see Madam Ning lowered her eyes and turned a page without raising her head: "Then the marriage has to be done, but please don't let my son become an immoral person." reputation."

Master Ning was taken aback, he didn't expect Madam to say that.He glanced over, and his eyes fell on Ning Si, the housekeeper, as if asking for help.Ning Si shrank and hurriedly lowered his head, his eyes happened to turn to the corner on the other side, hey - seeing that the corner was covered with a layer of dust, I don't know how the servants cleaned it, I have to go out and give a good lecture .

Master Ning blushed suddenly.

"That is indeed a good boy." Madam Ning stood up slowly, put her hand on Master Ning's wrist, and said slowly, "I asked someone to inquire about it a few days ago, and saved Huan'er I like Huan'er, and Huan'er is very happy with him. Huan'er's fate is not good. The Taoist priests in Sanqing Mountain in the year he was born said that he was destined to be a catastrophe. You and I both understand, so these years have been nothing to him. I don't have too many expectations, I just hope that he can grow up safely and happily."

"He has been good since he was a child. Even if you and I never scolded and restrained him, he is not as naughty as other children. He is alone in a daze for an afternoon. At that time, I was always worried that he would be so lonely. Never in his life or time to meet a man he likes and likes him. Now he has met, sir, but that man happens to be a boy—”

Master Ning was silent for a moment, heaved a long sigh, and reluctantly replied: "Let's think about it in the long run, who knows if it's a good thing for a while, you have to think about it."

Ning Huan never thought that his mother would simply put an end to the bloody storm during his short trip out of the house.In order to rush to Su Mansion as soon as possible, he took a small path nearby.This path passes through a narrow alley, Su Xian took him through it a few times a few days ago, it really saved a lot of time.

The cold wind passing through the hall blew on Ning Huan's body.The remaining heat of the day has dissipated, and the narrow alley is like a "line of sky" deep in the ground, and the quiet moonlit night is covering the surroundings with a layer of blue-gray frost.There was dead silence all around, only the sound of Ning Huan's footsteps reverberating in the alley "da, da".Ning Huan tightened his sleeves and rubbed his hands, this warm spring night was as cold as winter.Ning Huan couldn't help speeding up his pace a little, if he knew that the alleys at night were scary like hell, he wouldn't have taken a shortcut.

"Sheren Town, Town of Sheren, the door of ghosts is open on Qiqi Xuanye. Sheren Town, Town of Sheren, reincarnation of life and death." The clouds covered the bright moon above the head, and the darkness suddenly overturned in the alley. Covering Ning Huan with his head covered.At some point in the alley, a nursery rhyme sounded, and the sound became clearer and clearer. When the clouds covering the bright moon dispersed, the alley regained dim light again.

A few steps away from Ning Huan, a group of children suddenly appeared, forming a circle with their backs to Ning Huan.Ning Huan frowned, feeling strange, where did the child come out and play outside at such a late hour?

"Sheren Town, Town of Sheren, the gates of ghosts are open in the Qiqixuanye. Town of Sheren, people of Zhenshe, reincarnation of life and death." The ghostly nursery rhyme sounded again, but this time it was not from the group of children. came from.

Ning Huan's body trembled suddenly, he lowered his head stiffly, his eyes widened and stared at the child who didn't know when he was clinging to his legs.The cold body temperature seeped through his thin clothes, Ning Huan's whole body seemed to be in a deep well that never sees sunlight, and cold sweat was dripping down the back of his neck: "You are..." The ending was swallowed.

The child raised his head slowly.Under the moonlight, he was shirtless, his whole body was as pale as paper, and his flat face was staring at Ning Huan with a pair of blood-red eyes. Zhen, Zhenshe people, reincarnation of life and death." There was a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, and the teeth in his mouth gleamed coldly under the moonlight, as fine as the mouthparts of insects.

Ning Huan clenched his hands into fists, he kicked the ghost boy away with all his might.Ning Huan staggered back a few steps, and the circle of children not far away raised their heads. Under the dim moonlight, a pair of blood-red eyes and pale faces showed the same grotesque expression. Looking at Ning Huan with a smile. "Sheren Town, Town of Sheren, the door of ghosts is open on Qiqixuanye. Sheren Town, Town of Sheren, reincarnation of life and death." The ghost rumors rang clearly in their ears again, and they moved towards Ning Huan step by step. come...

Suddenly there was a crisp "ding ding jingling" in the alley, and a black shadow flashed past Ning Huan with a gust of wind.Who's coming?With a flash of Ning Huan's kung fu, the faces of the ghost boys in front of him have changed, and they dispersed like mist.In the shadow of the backlight, the shadow turned around, looked at Ning Huan with a pair of dark green eyes, and walked slowly towards him.Ning Huan was startled, and subconsciously took a step back.

"Da, da, da", a sound came from behind. "Meow——" The black shadow crossed the boundary between light and dark, and rushed backwards suddenly.It was only then that Ning Huan discovered that the black shadow was actually a black cat, and the "Dingling Dingling" was the yellow bell hanging around its neck.

A person came slowly behind him, wearing a white coat, holding a flag in his left hand, with two black characters of "Suangua" written on it, and the strange sound of "da da" was the movement made by this thing hitting the ground.fortune teller?Ning Huan was puzzled, but it seemed that he was the one who saved him just now.Ning Huan hurriedly cupped his hands and expressed his thanks: "Thank you for saving my life, sir."

The fortune teller stopped in his tracks, stroked his long beard, looked at Ning Huan up and down, and smiled indifferently: "Since we are destined to meet each other, this little brother wants me to help you make a fortune teller?"

Ning Huan was taken aback, at this moment he couldn't refuse, so he nodded in response: "Then I'm going to trouble you sir."

The fortune teller looked at Ning Huan for a while, and said: "Seeing that your seal is black, did you encounter a ghost in the daytime today?" Ning Huan nodded in surprise, thinking that this fortune teller still has some skills.

The fortune teller continued: "Purple in the black is a bad omen. I think you have encountered not only ghosts, but also evil spirits. Evil spirits are entangled in you. These days will not be easy for you."

Ning Huan frowned slightly, and asked, "Evil? Is there a way to break it?"

The fortune teller smiled: "The way to crack it—" The tone was meaningful. He looked at the full moon in the sky, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "It's on the west side, but remember it's on the west side." After finishing speaking, "Da, da" held the flag and walked around Ning Huan towards the depths of the alley.The black cat raised its neck, looked at Ning Huan with its twinkling green pupils under the moonlit night, but the moment Ning Huan looked at it, it ran away with a "meow", and followed the fortune teller with its long tail. Behind him, the bell made a "jingling, jingling" sound, and disappeared into the darkness with the sound of "da, da".

The white flag shook, and the black coffin was covered with the last handful of soil. "Dingling, Dingling" the bell rang, and the black cat was gently picked up by the people behind it. "Are you looking for grandpa?" asked the boy behind him, he sighed a long time, and threw another stack of paper money into the brazier, "Heizi, grandpa will never come back again, don't look for him in the future." gone."

The black cat "meowed" as if it understood, flicked its tail, and crawled obediently at the boy's feet.Those green cat eyes crossed the brazier, staring at the emptiness of darkness in a daze.The white paper money in the charcoal basin was eaten away by the fire, and the occasional debris was blown into the air by the evening wind, and fell on the black fur of the black cat one after another.

"Da da"

The tips of its ears trembled slightly, "Meow—" it shook its head, stood up suddenly, and drove the yellow bell on its neck to "jingle dingling", and rushed towards the In the moonlight.

After hearing what the fortune teller said, Ning Huan thought about it and didn't know why.He sighed, and simply did not go to Siduo.Hey, there are many charlatans here, maybe it's just to deceive him.
