Renew

Chapter 73

This is not the first time this ghostly aura has appeared, and I saw it once when I accompanied Lin Que back from the street.

I don't know what the ghost's intentions are, it seems that the light just wants to attract her and Hua Su's attention, it doesn't show up, and it doesn't do anything overreaching, it seems that it will die if it sees the light.

Rong Li raised his head, squinted his eyes slightly, and moved his nostrils slightly, trying to sniff out the breath left by the ghost, but in the end he sniffed in vain.

Seeing her pause, Xiao Fu asked, "Girl, what's wrong?"

Rong Li shook his head, "It's nothing."

Then he pretended not to see anything, closed his eyes, and went back to the room. When he turned around, he said, "I'll rest for a while."

Xiaofu and Bai Liu looked at each other, feeling that their daughter had something to say.

Hua Su didn't follow into the house, but stood in the courtyard, the black robe that dragged the floor fluttered in the wind, like smoke and mist.

Rong Li pushed open the window, leaned on the wall and glanced out.

In the room where the servants lived next door, there was a sudden exclamation, and then something shattered and blossomed on the ground, making a crisp sound.

It's a white willow.

Bai Liu yelled, yelling miserably, as if his soul was about to be yelled out.

Rong Li walked out in a hurry, his face became paler and he almost stepped on the corner of his skirt.

The door of the side room was pushed open suddenly, and a frightened figure stumbled out from inside.

With this fall, Bai Liu just landed on Rongli's feet, both knees landed on the ground, the fall was really miserable.

Rong Li's footsteps paused, his knees tightened, and he was hugged by Bai Liu.

Bai Liu sobbed, no matter how much she cared about her face, she could still pretend to be calm on weekdays, but now she was so flustered that she couldn't pretend at all.

Rong Li glanced into the open door, but couldn't see what was going on.

Xiaofu's face was full of surprise, as if she was also frightened, but she was frightened by Bai Liu, she said in fear: "Why did you get so surprised again, and... fell so badly."

With a bitter face and wet eyes, Bai Liu knelt on the ground and hugged her girl's leg tightly.

Xiaofu didn't see eye to eye with her, and didn't want to go out to help her, but seeing her unwillingness to let go, she walked out hesitantly, bent down and said, "Is your leg crippled?"

Only then did Bai Liu let go, and got up from the ground, "It's just a big gift for the girl."

Xiaofu knew that this person couldn't hold back her face, so she smiled and said, "What a big gift."

Rong Li was still looking into the room, but the room was clean, it didn't look like there were any evil spirits.

Bai Liu stood up straight, looked back Zhan Weiwei, touched his shoulder with trembling hands, choked up and said: "Girl, something just patted my shoulder."

Rong Li patted her on the shoulder twice, his slender eyebrows suddenly frowned, and he gently twisted his two fingers, pinching a black ghostly aura.

This ghostly air is as light as silk thread, chilly, just touching it like this, it seems that even the bones are frozen.

She stretched her brows, so as not to be seen by these two girls, she said softly: "Did Xiao Fu take the picture?"

Xiao Fu stared straight, "I didn't."

Bai Liu was tearful, and even her voice was trembling, "Someone really tapped me on the shoulder. I just poured a glass of water, and something stuck on my shoulder. I even dropped the glass." out."

After she finished speaking, she pointed to the ground, pointed at the broken porcelain scattered everywhere, and said, "Miss, look, the cups are all dropped!"

Rong Li raised his hand, put his palm on the top of her hair, and gently stroked her hair twice, "You must have made a mistake, otherwise you can go to my room, so as not to be scared here again."

Bai Liu is not willing, it is not suitable for a maid to live in the young lady's room.She shook her head and hesitated: "Then... maybe I made a mistake."

Rongli turned around and walked out of the eaves, raised his chin slightly, and looked at the lantern that was moving just now, but there was no ghostly aura on the lantern, and the tassels underneath fluttered in the wind every now and then, nothing strange place.

Standing in the middle of the yard, Hua Su seemed to have sensed something, hooked his hand, and something fell from the veil of the lantern.

The wind swept the object to Hua Su's hand, Hua Su held it tightly with his hands, and his figure suddenly turned into a black ghostly aura, flying like a flock of crows, and slammed into the wall of the main house.

Rong Li had never seen her in such a hurry, and immediately followed her, out of breath.

Ghosts can pass through walls, but she can't, so under the watchful eyes of the two girls, she panted and pushed open the door.

In the room, Hua Su walked towards the table, stretched out his hand from under the black robe, and threw something on the table.

There was a click, but it still had some weight.

"What's wrong?" Rong Li closed the door with his backhand, took a step back and leaned his back against the wall, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart.

Hua Su grasped the objects on the table with two fingers, turned his hands up and down, and looked at them silently for a while.

That... is a piece of bamboo.

The surface of the bamboo slices is smooth, with a dull luster, as if coated with a layer of grease, at first glance it looks like black jade.

Isn't this the material used for the painting, it must be cut from the same black bamboo.

Hua Su loosened the black robe, and took out a similar piece of bamboo from the skirt that was hidden underneath, which was given to her by the bone owl from Cangming City last time.

Rong Li was stunned for a moment, and looked around the room, but he didn't see any ghost, "Is that ghost hiding in the tassel of the lantern?"

Hua Su nodded, pinched one end of the bamboo slice with two fingers, and slowly wiped off the other side.Every time the fingertips wiped an inch, the black bamboo material under it turned into powder and slowly lifted into the air.

She smashed the two pieces of bamboo expressionlessly, and said softly, "Gu Cen."

The name Gucen...

When he was still in the knot last time, Rong Li had heard in the conversation between Hua Su and Bone Owl that he seemed to be a general who led Hua Su's old troops to rebel against Cangming City.

"Why didn't she show up?" Rong Li was surprised.

Hua Su said lightly: "If I think about it, Shen Du will send a ghost out to look for her."

Rong Li frowned, "Do all the ghosts in Cangming City only listen to that Shen Du's words?"

Hua Su said: "Speaking of it, in the past, all ghosts had no master, they escaped their lives and were easily out of control, and then there was Cangming City, which protected them from being captured by Yama of the Ten Palaces. And the city lord, of course, must have the ability to reach the sky, otherwise he will never be able to compete with Yan Luodian."

She paused, her expression darkened, "All ghosts only obey capable men, and whoever has strong ghost power can be the lord of this city."

Rong Li opened his lips, in this way, isn't this ghost's cultivation level not as good as that of Shendu.

She thought about it and thought it was wrong, "But Shendu can command all the ghosts, and what is he asking you for the ghost king's seal for? The ghosts are not listening to the ghost king's seal."

Hua Su twisted his fingers, and there was not even a little bit of bamboo left in his hand, "Only with the seal of the ghost king can you sit on the bone seat, and there is a mystery in the bone seat."

Rong Li was quite curious about the mystery, but he knew he shouldn't ask.

Hua Su said again: "Although Gu Cen can go to heaven and earth, she may not be able to hide from Shen Du's eyes. She betrayed Cangming City, and Shen Du wants to tear her apart."

Rong Li was confused when he heard it, "Could it be that she has been chased by Shen Du, so she didn't show up, so as not to implicate us?"

"No." Hua Su said coldly, "We are the ones being tracked. She didn't show up because she was afraid of being hurt by you and me."

Rong Li was startled, "Then why is she still here?"

Hua Su looked calm, stretched out his hand, and flicked Rongli's eyebrows.

Rong Li jerked his head back, staring at a pair of phoenix eyes and covering his forehead, "What are you doing?"

Hua Su smiled, "Are you scared again?"

Can Rongli not be afraid, ever since she met this ghost, she has been frightened a lot, finally reached the imperial city, she thought she would be able to live in peace and stability for a while, but before she was safe for a few days, there will be another undercurrent up.

Hua Su withdrew her hand, "I'm afraid she wants to say, since she can find us, so can Shen Du."

Like a bow, Rong Li tensed his body immediately, "We...should we go again?"

Hua Su shook his head, "Don't worry, the sky in the imperial city is very peaceful, let's rest for a few more days."

Rong Li murmured: "In case Shen Du is not afraid of the purple qi, you are not afraid, how could he be afraid."

Hua Su sneered, "You think highly of him, even if he has the guts, he wouldn't dare to mess around here in person."

Rong Li was half-knowledgeable, so he could only nod his head slightly, "It's fine for Gu Cen to leave the bamboo slices before, why did he leave the bamboo slices for you this time?"

Hua Su raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything, as if he was hiding something.

Rongli's heart skipped a beat, he always felt that this matter was not so simple.

She hesitated for a while, "The reason why Shendu came to you was because of the Ghost King Seal, or because of the ghost?"

Hua Su twitched the corner of his mouth meaningfully, with a calm expression, "You are living a good life, why are you taking care of the affairs of the underworld?"

Rong Li kept his mouth shut, and simply didn't ask any more questions. It's better to ask less about things in the underworld, so as not to waste his life. She only wanted to take revenge on those people in Rong's house, but now she wanted to live.

There was a knock on the door suddenly, and a figure appeared on the door.

"Girl, the sugar figurine in the imperial city tasted it." Kong Qing said outside the door, "It took me a long time to find it, so I came back late."

Rong Li was staring at Hua Su in the room, when he heard this, he stood up immediately, went to open the door, "Is it sweet?"

Kong Qing nodded, with some syrup on her lips, "Sweet, sweet-scented osmanthus."

Rongli nodded: "It's good to taste it, it's getting late, go and rest soon."

Kong Qing held the leftover thin wooden stick, with some unlicked candy still stained on the stick, nodded and left.

After closing the door, Rong Li raised his eyes and saw Hua Su looking at her.

Hua Su stopped talking and snorted.

Rong Li said inwardly, he hummed all day long, but he didn't know if it was a ghost or a pig.

She lay down on the bed, feeling a little uneasy, her heart beat fast, her breath became short of breath, and her complexion turned pale.

Couldn't sleep, got annoyed when he closed his eyes, and after a while Rongli propped himself up and wanted to sit up again.

Hua Su couldn't see it, so she walked over, put her hand on her shoulder, forced her back on the mattress, leaned over and said, "As long as I don't say the word 'fear', you don't need to be afraid. "

Rong Li was lying on his back, his body was sunk in the soft mattress, his hair was pressed behind his back, his almond eyes were slightly staring, "But I'm just a mortal, and you have something to hide from me."

When Hua Su bent down, the braids hanging on the back slid to the front of the body, and the loose hair hung on the side of Rongli's face, almost catching her eyes.

Rong Li narrowed his eyes slightly, "In case Shen Du finds you, you can escape, but I can't."

Hua Su smiled, and said slowly: "You have a painting ghost in your hand, so why not escape, and besides, Danxuan's background is unusual, I think you are like a mortal, but..."

When she paused, Rong Xin tightened her grip.

Hua Su said: "It may not be a mortal."

After the time passed, Rongli was about to fall asleep, but someone knocked on the door again.When she opened her eyes, it was as if her eyes were covered with fog, her mind was still groggy, and she couldn't get up for a long time.

Hua Su looked towards the door, "An old woman."

Rong Li said in a low voice: "That nanny?"

After a while, she finally got up, went to open the door, and she really saw a nanny in coarse clothes standing outside. The old woman had gray hair and wrinkled face, she looked very old.

Rong Li asked: "Did Liu Shuang send Mammy over?"

"I've seen Miss Rongli. I just finished my work. It's a bit late. I should have come back another day, but this old servant is impatient and wants to see the girl sooner." On Li's face, his brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes were a little red, and he seemed to be just like other people, when he saw her, he thought of Danxuan.

Rong Li didn't feel disgusted, but felt more and more weird why Dan Xuan resembled her so much.She believed in Hua Su, and Hua Su said that she and Dan Xuan were not the same person, then it was not the case, if so, she might still... couldn't tolerate herself.

I can't bear to have such a miserable experience.

The mother looked at her with tears in her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "When the girl first came to Shan Mansion, the old slave heard from the servant girl in the mansion that it was the daughter of the Rong family who came."

Rong Li lowered his eyes and shook his head: "It's not the daughter of the Rong family, but a widow."

Mammy took a step forward and raised her hand as if she wanted to caress her face, but her hand was suspended in the air and she stopped abruptly.

Rong Li pinched her hand straight, and pulled it to his face, with lowered eyebrows and an obedient appearance.

Hua Su came out of the room without saying a word.

Rong Li said softly: "I heard from Liu Shuang that when I was young, my mother was taken care of by the nanny."

"Miss Danxuan's nanny is the old slave." After the nanny finished speaking, a line of tears flowed down her face, "It's a pity that Danxuan didn't come back. When she went to Qi'an, the old slave wanted to give away a pair of bracelets. It’s for her, but it’s too late, she has already boarded the carriage and left the city.”

As she said that, she took out a pair of silver bracelets from her sleeve pockets. The pair of bracelets were polished very shiny, and she thought she hadn't taken much care of them in the future.

The nanny stuffed the bracelets into Rongli's hand, and patted the back of her hand twice, "This pair of bracelets was not given to Danxuan, so I gave it to the girl. I hope the girl won't be disgusted. There is no other exquisiteness, but it is a thought.”

Rong Li wanted to return it back, but seeing that Nanny was determined to send it back, he had no choice but to say: "Thank you, Nanny."

Nanny shook her head: "Liushuang said that the girl wanted to hear about Danxuan, but it's been a long time, and I can't remember clearly."

Rong Li helped her into the room, "Madam can say whatever she remembers, I... just really want to see her."

With a hook of Hua Su's hand, the open door closed itself, as if blown by the wind.

There were rustlings outside the house, Bai Liu came out from the side room, left and right still didn't want to stay in that room, so they wanted to stand in front of the girl's door.

As soon as she stopped, she heard someone talking in the room. She listened closely for a while suspiciously, but she didn't dare to listen too much, so she simply went back to the room.

Seeing her come back, Xiaofu snorted, "Scared back?"

Bai Liu glared at her, "What are you talking about, I just wanted to guard the door for the girl, and I came back when I heard the girl talking with someone else in the room."

On the side, Kong Qing was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, she was taken aback when she heard the sound, "Girl... Who are you talking to?"

Bai Liu thought for a while: "I heard the girl call that person 'Nurse', as if she served the eldest lady."

Xiao Fu was puzzled, "I'm surprised, these people burst into tears when they saw the girl, is the girl really so similar to the Da Furen?"

Kong Qing said in a low voice: "Perhaps she looks quite similar, otherwise... how could the master treat the girl as his wife."

In the main room, Nanny sat down, but still looked at Rongli motionlessly.

"People say that I look like my mother, but unfortunately I have never seen her in life." Rong Li said softly.

The nanny did not doubt that he was there, and sighed, "It looks a bit similar. Danxuan was so soft and weak when she was young, and people couldn't bear to say harsh words to her. Like a ghost, sitting by the window without moving."

Rong Li pursed his lips and poured a cup of tea, and put it in the hand of the mother.

Hua Su said lightly, "I only have a half soul, isn't it like losing my soul?"

The nanny's eyes were dim, as if she was thinking of the old days, "The old slave has been in the Shan family for decades. When Dan Xuan was brought back, the old slave had been serving the Shan mansion for a long time. At that time, the Shan mansion was considered a family fortune." Wan Guan is a high-ranking official. There are a lot of guests in the house, and they are all people who come to flatter you."

"Danxuan was brought back by Madam from Mount Quan'er. I don't know who threw it on the mountain. It's really pitiful. The master asked someone to ask for a long time in the city, but I don't know which family abandoned it on the mountain. Although she is still in her infancy, But Danxuan didn't cry or make trouble, she was so obedient as a child, Madam felt distressed when she saw it, so she left her behind."

"But there is something else to say." Hua Su frowned.

Rong Li said softly: "Mother was so obedient when she was young, maybe it's because she didn't cry when she was a baby, and she didn't like to talk after that."

Mammy smiled, "No way, some dolls are noisy, but when they grow up, they have a stable temperament, which is not certain. Danxuan came at a strange time, so the master and madam did not disclose her background to the outside world. While talking, I was afraid that others would gossip behind my back, but even though they kept it a secret, some ignorant girls still told about Danxuan's life experience."

Rong Li hesitated, "How do you say that?"

The mother's expression darkened, "Danxuan didn't cry when she was young, but before she was three years old, she always looked at a certain place and laughed, and often talked to herself, perhaps because of this, there are often maids in the mansion who say that Miss Danxuan is a monster in the mountains." After a while, he said that he was a ghost, and said that his coming to the Shan family would ruin his luck. The master was not happy, so he drove these gossiping maidservants out of the Shan mansion."

Rong Li thought to himself, doesn't this... mean Yin and Yang eyes?She also has such eyes, but she knows too well why Danxuan talks to herself. When she talks to Hua Su, if she falls into the eyes of others, she is also talking to herself.

Hua Suyuan didn't bother to listen to these trivial matters, but when he heard this sentence, he suddenly became interested, "Yin and Yang eyes."

The mother thought for a while, "At that time, Danxuan was served by an old slave. When she was in the house on weekdays, Danxuan was very obedient, but if she was carried out of the house, she struggled endlessly and refused to accept it. Let the old slave step half a step out of the threshold, and he will look at a certain place in the house and yell."

Rong Li hesitated and asked, "Aren't you afraid, Madam?"

Mammy shook her head and smiled lightly, "What are you afraid of? The doll has just come into this world, and she is amazed by everything. Even when she sees catkins floating in the air, she can scream for a long time."

Rong Li quietly glanced at Hua Su, she felt that what Dan Xuan saw was not something like catkins.

"What pleasure is there to see catkins?" Hua Su said.

The mother said again: "At that time, Danxuan really didn't like to go out. I don't know why. She seemed to be afraid of the sun. That's why the mansion spread wildly. , took her around the street, and when she came back, although the girl was hoarse from crying, she was in good health and stopped those rumors."

Rong Li raised the corners of his lips, "Grandma is really kind to mother."

Hua Su said abruptly, "Danxuan must be following something shady."

Mammy also laughed, "Isn't that right? Madam and master both like Miss Danxuan, and I can't hear others saying that she is wrong. After about three years old, Miss Danxuan stopped talking to herself, and she didn't talk about it all the time. I can't stop staring at a certain place."

"I'm afraid it's not because she was born with yin and yang eyes, maybe someone else lent her spiritual power, so she can see." Hua Su said indifferently.

The mother laughed for a while, and sighed for a while, "From now on, the girl will sit in the yard by herself. Although she still doesn't like to go out, she won't be like before, huddling in the house and refusing to come out, even talking There are more, saying that three years old is old, I don’t think so.”

Hua Su sat down, her legs crossed, and a shoe toe embroidered with silver thread was exposed from under her black robe, "Some mortals can still remember some things in their previous lives after reincarnation, but once they get older, they will forget everything." The thing is, maybe it’s because Meng Po Tang drank less when reincarnated, and the effect of the medicine came late.”

Her red lips moved, and she said coldly: "It's nothing more than losing the memory of the previous life, and the yin and yang eyes are gone. From now on, I will really be no different from ordinary people."

Rong Li said softly: "Fortunately, my mother was brought back by my grandparents. If someone else picks her up, she might...be regarded as a monster."

Momo shook her head, "Miss Danxuan looks so iconic, smart and obedient, how can she be a monster."

Rong Li listened to her talk for a while, most of them were about trivial matters later on, and she sent him out of the yard when the nanny said she was tired.

Back in the room, Rongli handed a bracelet in his hand to Hua Su, "You and I share the same fate, I will share this pair of bracelets with you."

Hua Su lowered his eyes and looked coldly at the bracelet in her hand, and didn't reach out to take it for a long while.

Rong Li murmured: "Don't forget it."

As soon as the words fell, Hua Su reluctantly took it, "Where is the blessing and misfortune shared, there will be no more misfortunes in the future."

Rong Li put the rest of the silver bracelet into the makeup box, "Tell me, who is that ghost that is following my mother, and where did it... go, my mother's yin and yang eyes? Is it what it gave?"
