Rongli is afraid, she is a mortal, if ghosts want to take her life, how can she escape.

However, the ghost that got out from under the bed just stared at her intently, although it looked a bit shabby, it didn't make a move.

Outside the house, only Bai Liu was still standing, but who knows if the mind of a living person is more vicious than a dead thing.

Rong Li shut his mouth tightly, not daring to call out, for fear of disturbing the ghost.She frowned and slowly moved to the side of the bed a little bit, pulling out several folds of the mattress, less than a foot wide.

Her breath is weak, if there is nothing, it is better than a dying person. When she inhales, her eyes are shining, soft as if covered with water mist, and she can't smell the rotten air that a dying person would have. Flowery.

It is said that the daughter of the Rong Mansion is like a goddess, this statement is true, but it is a pity that the mortal world may not be able to keep her, so she was sick when she came out of the mother's womb, and she looked like she was going to die all day long, it is pitiful.

The ghost suddenly climbed onto the edge of the bed, staring at her with a pair of dark eyes, as if it could seduce the soul.

Rongli's back was chilled, and his thin shoulders couldn't help trembling.

The ghost suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her neck, his knuckles pinched half of her neck tightly, his five fingers were almost digging into the flesh.

Rong Li couldn't breathe, he couldn't even utter a word, his hands and feet were numb and heavy as if he had lost all strength.Her lungs were burning, and her dizziness was so severe that it was worse than drowning in water. Her neck seemed to be cut off.

Unexpectedly, this ghost seemed to not only want to take her life, but also got closer and closer, almost touching her bloody forehead.

The ghost's figure became more and more blurred, but the force on her neck was not relaxed at all, and her whole body was froze, as if her soul was torn apart.

Rongli seldom left the house since she was a child. When the second wife was still there, she often taught her to read and write, and told her many anecdotes about ghosts and ghosts.

The maid outside the house still stood motionless, obediently guarding the door.

Rongli had a splitting headache, his neck was twisted tightly, a little crimson color appeared on his face, his eyes could not be closed, as fragile as a dying peony in the wind and rain.

Unexpectedly... Rong Li was thinking that he had to live a new life and confess to being here again, Bai Liu standing outside the house suddenly said: "Master!"

Bai Liu was pushed open, but the one who pushed the door was not Rong Changting, but a monk who came with him.

The monk was very thin, about eight feet tall, with slightly sunken cheeks, as if he had been hungry for a long time, but his expression was extremely calm, without even a trace of flattery, completely different from those who came to make jokes.

It's just that it's calm and calm, he looks like a skeleton, it's very weird.

The monk pushed open the door, flicked his wide cuffs suddenly, and pinched a magic formula like a flower in his hands.

Rongli could hardly keep her eyes open, and vaguely saw a black mist coming out of the monk's hand, hitting the ghost strangling her neck.

The ghost screamed and turned into black smoke. Before it could dissipate, it was caught in the monk's hand and disappeared in an instant.

The strength strangling Rongli's neck dissipated immediately, and she lay on her back on the wooden bed, staring at the gauze curtain on the top without regaining her senses for a long time.After a while, the numb arms warmed up a little, and they were finally lifted up.

She stretched out her hand from under the brocade quilt, and pressed her index finger lightly on her neck. There was a red mark on the originally white neck, which was clearly left by a ghost.

It's a pity that she couldn't see the palm print, so she barely stood up and looked at the monk who walked in from outside the house with a weak breath.

The monk's footsteps stopped suddenly, but he didn't take another step inside, and he turned sideways and said: "Lady Xianggui, you shouldn't trespass."

Although Rong Changting couldn't see the ghost, he vaguely saw the wisp of black smoke that disappeared in the monk's hand.He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Master, that ghost..."

"The ghosts are gone, but your daughter's life is short, so it is inevitable that ghosts will come back again." The monk said calmly.

"What do you mean, master?" Rong Changting didn't understand.

"The horoscope of Guiqianjin belongs to Yin, and the horoscope is opposite. The strange thing is that she should have been buried in the loess, but now she is still alive." The monk twirled the rosary, and the big gray clothes on his body were swaying in the wind, dressed more modestly. All the servants in the mansion were even thinner, but he didn't seem to be afraid of the cold, and he didn't even shake.

Rong Li sat up, his hair was disheveled like smoke, his downcast eyes narrowed slightly, and the weakness in his eyes suddenly disappeared for a moment.She looked sideways at the monk, vaguely remembering that she had seen this monk before.

Not this life, but past lives.

If she remembers correctly, before she met this monk in her previous life, she seemed to have suffered from a serious illness. Rong Changting was going to seek medical treatment, but it was a monk who came. , but gave her a pen.

That pen was unremarkable, after she got it, she put it in the bottom of the box and never took it out again, thinking that this monk came to Rong's mansion to cheat a meal.

At that time, she couldn't see ghosts, nor was she strangled by ghosts, so she didn't know that the monk had real skills. Now that she experienced it, she suddenly felt that the pen that the monk gave her in the previous life might not be ordinary. things.

"Thank you Master for saving me." Rong Li lowered his eyes and spoke weakly, his throat was dry and hoarse when he spoke, as if he had been lying down for several days without a drop of water in his throat.

Rong Changting's eyes were red, and he asked earnestly, "I don't know how to resolve this fate?"

"No solution." The monk said flatly.

Rong Changting was stunned, "There is no solution, with the master's ability, how can there be no solution."

"I can give the girl a pen. If the girl can use it skillfully, she will be able to save the day." After the monk finished speaking, he actually took out a pen from his sleeve pocket. What kind of wool is it.

The barrel of the pen is as black as ink, there is not even a single pattern engraved on it, it is polished smooth and translucent, it is obviously made of bamboo, but it is like jade.

Rong Changting stared at this pen for a long time, but couldn't see anything unusual about it, "Master, this..."

"I'm just here to ask for a bowl of water, and I've done my utmost benevolence." The monk didn't seem to be a benevolent person, so he tossed the brush away, and the light bamboo brush happened to fall on someone in the house like the wind helping him. on the round table.

Rong Li stood up, but he was unable to bend over to put on his shoes, so he could only stand on the ground with bare white feet, leaning slightly while leaning on the bedpost, his eyes dimmed, "Thank you, master, for giving me the pen."

There were hurried footsteps in the distance, and I saw the government doctor rushing in with a medicine box, followed by the maid Kong Qing.

Seeing that the door was wide open, the mansion doctor couldn't help but said: "Miss can't see the wind, why did you open the door so wide!" He panted and approached, but was blocked by the monk's tall and thin figure, he turned his head and looked inside. Look, he was surprised and said, "Miss is awake?"

Kong Qing, who went to ask for the government doctor, was also stunned, and said in a low voice: "Young lady is not awake just now."

The monk clasped his palms together, bowed towards Rong Changting and said, "There is no need to send him far away, the poor monk has something to do beforehand."

Rong Changting hung his heart on the eldest daughter, nodded in response, and turned around, there is no monk, "Where is the master?"

Kong Qing and Bai Liu hurriedly turned their heads, both startled, even the government doctor standing behind couldn't figure it out.

"How can this monk walk so fast?" the doctor was surprised.

"Go, get Li'er's pulse." Rong Changting said to the doctor.

The mansion doctor's surname is Xiao, and his name is Gu Yuan. Xiao Gu Yuan hastily walked into the room, stretched out his hand and said, "Miss, I offended you."

Rong Li sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his thin wrist bones from his cuffs, and handed it to Xiao Gu Yuan.

Xiao Guyuan put his arm around her wrist, frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Rongli to stick out his tongue, and after examining her for a while, he cupped his hands and said: "The girl is fine, but this body still needs to be repaired." Make up for it."

Standing outside the house, Rong Changting breathed a sigh of relief, "Is there any medicinal material that the mansion still lacks?"

Rong Li raised his eyes, although his face was still full of sickness, he calmly gave the doctor a sideways glance.After what happened just now, although she still had lingering fears, the pen on the wooden table was like a calming agent, completely eradicating her panic.

She couldn't see any other ghosts left or right, so she said slowly: "Li'er will die soon, why waste the medicinal materials in the mansion."

"Li'er!" Rong Changting wanted to reprimand her, but the left and right sides didn't know how to speak, so he sighed and said: "The things left by that master must be of great use, such words can't be said anymore."

Rong Li nodded slightly, coughed twice and said: "Then... if there is something missing, the government doctor can tell Sanniang, but now even the mansion's account manager has to report to Sanniang, and Sanniang will take care of the affairs of the house. You can't find a single omission in it."

Although Meng Xian is not here now, but the two maids she sent are still standing outside the house, Bai Liu's face suddenly changed, Kong Qing frowned slightly.

Rong Changting snorted angrily, "If she is so capable, she shouldn't have sent that clumsy maid to your side!"

"That maidservant didn't mean it." Rong Li paused for a moment, then said softly: "I don't know where Yu Zhuo is now, she must feel guilty when I fell into the water, I was scared by the hot soup and leaned on the railing, I don’t know how the handrail broke off, otherwise it wouldn’t have fallen into the water.”

"I asked someone to look at it. There are already cracks in some places on the railing. You said she handles the affairs of the mansion meticulously. In my opinion, she is perfunctory!" Rong Changting frowned. "The maid is locked up in the firewood room, how does Li'er plan to punish her?"

"I..." Rong Li pretended to be hesitant, "She didn't mean it, if she didn't, wouldn't she be punished?"

"How do you know she didn't mean it?" Rong Changting still didn't enter the door, and he didn't know what he was obsessed with.

"I haven't thought it through yet." Rong Li lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembled, his arms strenuously supported his body, his thin shoulders shrugged slightly.

"Then lock her up for a few days first, so that she can think about it." Rong Changting said.

Rong Li nodded slightly, her body trembled slightly, the wind outside the house lifted the hair on the side of her face, and the mole in front of her eyes was like a teardrop. "I'm a little tired."

Xiao Guyuan backed out, and said in a low voice: "It's better to close the door for the girl, the girl can't blow the cool breeze."

Rong Changting looked around: "What about the girl, how can you leave the girl alone in the house!"

In the distance, Xiaofu came running anxiously. She had just walked around outside the master's study room, but after listening outside for a long time, she could not hear any sound. Later, she realized that the master had already taken the monk to the Orchid Court.

Rong Changting looked at the three girls and said: "There must be light in the house, the candles must not be extinguished, even in the daytime, there must be no one around the girl."

After exhorting, Rong Changting slapped his head, "I was really confused, I forgot to ask that master if I should perform a ritual."

Xiaofu lowered her head, looked straight into the room, and blocked the wide open door halfway, so as not to keep the wind from blowing into the room.She also didn't know what happened to her daughter, why the master brought up the ritual.She was distressed, and before she had time to bribe the monk, the monk was nowhere to be seen.

"Father, there is no need for the ritual. Didn't that master leave a pen for Li'er? With this pen, there will be no more ghosts haunting you." Rong Li beckoned to Xiaofu, "Bring the pen and let him go." Let me see."

Xiaofu hurried into the room, carefully picked up the pen on the table, and handed it to her daughter.

Rong Li held the pen, and said softly: "Father, don't worry, the master just now does have the ability to exorcise ghosts, this pen will definitely protect me."

"Don't say anything about today's matter." Rong Changting pondered in his heart for a while, although he was unwilling to leave in every possible way, but he had to leave because he had something to do, and he gave some serious instructions before turning around and leaving.

After Rong Changting left, Xiaofu closed the door and asked about what happened just now.

Rong Li leaned against the head of the bed, holding the bamboo pen tightly in his hand and looking carefully, "Just now I felt as if my neck was being strangled, and I almost died, but fortunately, Dad brought a monk here, and the monk just waved his hand, and I saw black hair on my body. The smoke rises, and when the wind blows, the smoke clears away."

She didn't mention at all that she could see ghosts.

Xiao Fu was dumbfounded, "D-Is there really a ghost?"

Rong Li nodded, "It seems that there is no need to spend a lot of money to deal with it. Tomorrow, everyone in the city will know about the grievances of the eldest daughter of the Rong Mansion."

"Didn't the master keep quiet?" Xiaofu said naively.

"The mouth grows on other people, how can it be so easy to cover it." Rong Li raised the pen to his eyes, narrowing his eyes slightly.

In her previous life, she had never looked at this pen so carefully, but now touching it inch by inch, she felt that it was not made of ordinary bamboo.

It was so black, but it still had the fragrance of bamboo leaves when smelling it, and it was still chilly, making her palms a little numb from the cold.

She rubbed it slowly, drawing a dent on her fingertips, and only then realized that there were words engraved on the pen holder.

"Hua Su." Rong Li said softly.

Just as the voice fell, there was a thud on the window lattice, as if it had been hit by the wind.
