Chapter 57 The Old House┃Don't blame me for not reminding you... Are you afraid of ghosts?
Another figure rushed along the long street, shouting: "There are monsters! There are monsters!"
Feng Qianjun entered the city, saw the resentment in the south of the city at a glance, and immediately came to support him. With his shout and the noise made by Xiao Shan, the whole street woke up suddenly, the lights came on, and then the three kings suddenly pushed the bricks away. Watts turned into black fire and flew away.
"Hoo, hoo..." Chen Xing supported Xiang Shu, and the two staggered towards the west of the city.
"Chen Xing!" Xiao Shan's voice was almost furious, "Chen Xing!"
"Xiao Shan..." Chen Xing turned his head and stopped immediately when he saw Xiao Shan chasing him.Using hands and feet together, Xiao Shan ran down the alley, and stopped in front of Chen Xing and Xiang Shu. He looked at Chen Xing without speaking with an angry face.
Chen Xing was exhausted, but Xiang Shu frowned and said, "If you were told to stay in Hara and Lin, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Shan was so angry that he couldn't speak, then he yelled, and rushed forward like a whirlwind, about to make a statement.
"Stop it!" Chen Xing turned around and hurriedly said, "Xiang Shu can't fight with you now! Xiao Shan! That's great!"
Xiao Shan shook off Chen Xing and took a few steps back.For a moment, Chen Xing didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and asked, "How did you find this place?"
Xiao Shan just didn't answer, his eyes were red from holding back.Chen Xing looked back, fearing that King Ba would come again, he hurriedly supported Xiang Shu, and said, "Come with me, come! Go! It's dangerous here!"
The three hid under a bridge, Chen Xing checked Xiang Shu's injuries, Xiang Shu let out a tired breath, closed his eyes, and remained motionless.
Xiao Shan looked at the two suspiciously.
"Are you okay?" Chen Xing said.
"I'm tired." Xiang Shu was seriously injured by King Ba's blow just now, the corner of his mouth was bleeding, he must have suffered an internal injury, and now even breathing is painful.
Chen Xing was very anxious, and turned to look at Xiao Shan again.
"You have to find a safe place," Chen Xing said, "or leave Kuaiji as soon as possible."
At night, the city was extremely quiet, with occasional crows and footsteps on the bridge.
"Chen Xing!" Feng Qianjun's voice shouted.
"Hush." Chen Xing immediately poked his head out, and Feng Qianjun went down to the bottom of the bridge, heaving a sigh of relief: "The pursuers have all run away, and the people on the street have woken up. Brother Xiang, how are you doing? Get up, come to my house." Go to Qianzhuang and make do with it for the night... Huh? Who are you?"
Chen Xing signaled that there was no time to explain. Looking at Xiang Shu's appearance, it seemed that it had become more serious. He had to find a way to send him back to Jiankang temporarily, and he could not stay here anymore.No matter how important things are, they are not more important than Xiang Shu's safety, even if they come to investigate later.
Feng Qianjun put Xiang Shu's arm on his shoulders, and now Chen Xing's burden was much lighter.Hurriedly out of the bottom of the bridge, in front of you is the residential complex in the west of the city in Tranquility. The plague for a year has made all the houses look depressed, as if they were trapped by an ominous pressure and could not turn over. At the time, it turned out to be a ghost town.
"We have to cross Middle Street," Feng Qianjun said, "to go north, we have to walk for at least an hour, speed up, and we can reach Xifeng Bank at dawn..."
"Wait," Chen Xing suddenly remembered what Wu Qi said, that the former Xiang family's mansion was beside the Willow Bridge, and the Willow Bridge was the bridge that he avoided just now, so he said, "Come with me."
Chen Xing arrived at the door of a house and knocked on the door. There was a "Fang Mansion" lantern hanging on the door, and a mahogany sword was inserted beside the door to ward off evil and eliminate evil.The owner who bought this mansion was surnamed Fang. He used to be a wealthy family. Later, because the hostess and a group of children were infected with the plague, they dismissed the servants in the family and spent a lot of property for no reason. They thought they had to wait for death. But the illness was hanging on and on, so I had to continue day by day.
At this time, the only old servant in Fang's family and a young boy sat opposite each other. Chen Xing explained the purpose of his visit. He was a borrower, and his companion was sick.Feng Qianjun wanted to give some money, but the other party was determined not to accept it. The owner's family is already sick and in bed, and he feels sorry for his kind, so he can help if he can, and it is good to have the right to accumulate some virtue.
Chen Xing checked Xiang Shu, and when he was facing the enemy, his viscera suffered internal bleeding due to a huge shock, but fortunately the injury was not serious, he opened his meridians with silver needles, and Xiang Shu healed better, he still sat in a daze.
Feng Qianjun said: "Why did you choose this place? Is there any special significance?"
Chen Xing then explained what happened along the way, Xiao Shan ignored them, and sat on the side of the couch in a daze, sitting opposite Xiang Shu, a large and a small, like two people who dislike each other.
Feng Qianjun pondered for a moment, and Xiang Shu finally said: "I believe you, who said that Shi Hai's men won't come to Jiangnan?"
Feng Qianjun cried bitterly: "How do I know? There is no warning!"
Chen Xing said: "How did they know that we left Jiankang to come to Kuaiji? They even calculated the route."
There is only one way to go south from Jiankang, and it is not difficult to ambush on the only way, but how did the three kings come to the south of the Yangtze River so silently?In Jiankang City, there is no one to respond.Chen Xing thought about it, but he had no idea. Feng Qianjun checked the doors and windows again, closing all the doors and windows that could be closed tightly, and prying to see if there were any crows in the Fang Zhai.
"At dawn," Feng Qianjun said, "I will send the steward of the house to Xifeng, the local area, to deliver the letter. Everyone should try not to show up, so as not to be followed by the king. If I go to the county guard's mansion in person, I don't believe that the army Send them out, but we can't do anything about those three dead people."
Chen Xing thought that seeking help from the government seemed to be the safest choice for the present plan, but he was afraid that the chaos would recur, and if the situation in Chang'an turned into another situation, he and his party would have to bear the blame.But now, in addition to Feng Qianjun, they have added a new force, namely Xiao Shan. If they are fully prepared, they may still be able to fight.
"Xiao Shan, can you use Sky Crack?" Chen Xing asked Xiao Shan.
Xiao Shan leaned sideways on the couch and curled up in the corner, peeking at Chen Xing, Feng Qianjun and others from time to time, when Chen Xing spoke to him, Xiao Shan's eyes turned away.
Feng Qianjun motioned to Chen Xing to explain why there were so many children, and asked, "When did you two have a son? This look is printed in the same mold as Brother Xiang."
"Enough." Xiang Shu was getting annoyed, and didn't want to make jokes with Feng Qianjun anymore.
At this moment, a voice came from outside, asking: "Do you need any medicinal materials? I think that brother seems to be injured."
Chen Xing thought about it, and went to open the door to thank him. Seeing that it was a young man guarding the house, he said, "I just want to ask for some medicine to invigorate the blood. It's just right if the master has it."
The owner of Fang's mansion got this disease and tried all kinds of methods. The family even bought a lot of medicinal materials, and asked the family members to accumulate virtue on a daily basis. The young man took Chen Xing into the warehouse to find medicine for him with a lamp.
Chen Xing said: "To be honest, I am indeed a doctor. When your master wakes up tomorrow, I want to show him."
"Thank you so much." The young man said, "Your brother is so handsome, why did he suffer such a serious injury?"
Chen Xing lamented in his heart that real life is short, and it was a long story, and he thought maybe Feng Qianjun would escort Xiang Shu back to Jiankang tomorrow, and he and Xiao Shan stayed behind to investigate. Xiao Shan's claws seemed to be quite powerful, maybe he could Help... Suddenly, my mind turned, isn't this the house where the Xiang family used to live?So he changed the subject and asked, "I heard earlier that your family took some antiques to sell. Is that true?"
The young man was startled suddenly, and said: "Two days ago, Mr. Lin from Jiankang came from Jiankang and asked about the same thing. What's the relationship between you?"
Chen Xing quickly took out Xie An's paperwork, and the young man read it with the light on, and said: "When we moved in, this house originally belonged to the Xiang family, but there is no one in the Xiang family, so the government took it back and sold it before it came into the master's hands." Come on. Don’t be afraid to tell the truth, my master and wife have been ill for a long time, and the family has been one after another. I have no money to use, so I have to find some valuables to pawn. I saw that the bamboo slips are inlaid with gold. It must be worth a few dollars ..."
Chen Xing interrupted decisively: "Did you find anything else when you cleaned up the house?"
The boy said: "It's all on the west side. If you want to see it, I'll just show you there. Don't blame me for not reminding you... Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Chen Xing couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Let's go."
The young man said again: "Seriously, sometimes when I pass by this garden in the middle of the night, I hear human voices. You have to believe in evil."
Passing through the other side of the mansion, Chen Xingcai suddenly found out that the mansion is very large, and many places have not been repaired. In the darkness of the West Garden, the wooden pillars, beams, and doors of the abandoned mansion have all been rotten, lifeless in the dark night, like eating people However, they can see what a splendid mansion it was hundreds of years ago.
The house was never locked, and no one came to steal from a plague-stricken house, so Chen Xing just pushed the door open and went in.The young man put the lamp on the table, obviously not very courageous, said: "I'll go back and rest first, call me again if you need anything." Then he ran away in a hurry.
"I would like to have some kind of ghost," Chen Xing murmured, "This way, I can ask clearly."
Chen Xing put the lamp on an abandoned crooked table, raised his heart lamp, and illuminated the surroundings. This is an elegant pavilion used by the owner to entertain guests. The front of the pavilion is facing the lake, and there are several bookshelves in the pavilion. A jumble of scrolls, most of them decayed, were stacked on top of it.
Chen Xing opened a bundle of bamboo slips. The slips had already rotted, and they fell all over the ground with a "crash". Chen Xing bowed and picked up one of them. There was a line written on it: Outline of Earth Veins and Spiritual Apertures.
The Xiang family is an exorcist!Chen Xing's previous speculation was finally confirmed, and he immediately opened another volume, pulled out the first volume, and saw that it read: Ten Views of the Heaven and Earth.
"What are you looking for?" Xiang Shu's voice sounded from behind.
Chen Xing: "Ah!"
Chen Xing was taken aback by surprise.
Item statement: "..."
Chen Xing couldn't breathe, and said intermittently: "You...what are you here for?"
Xiang Shu frowned deeply and said, "I'm afraid you will be arrested again!"
Chen Xing couldn't help but laugh: "Even if King Ba is here to arrest me now, you can't help it. Go back and rest."
Chen Xing just said it casually, but Xiang Shu's face suddenly changed, and he was trembling with anger, but he didn't want to quarrel with Chen Xing here, and said, "You're right, I'm leaving."
Chen Xing realized that his unintentional words hurt Xiang Shu, and hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that...I'm sorry, Xiang Shu...Shu Lukong!"
Xiang Shu turned around and left. Chen Xing looked at his back, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart for no reason.
"Xiang Shu," Chen Xing said, "Listen to me...Xiang Shu...come and see, what I found..."
Xiang Shu was about to leave without saying a word, but Chen Xing stopped in front of him, and suddenly hugged his waist tightly.
Item description: "!!!"
Xiang Shu suddenly felt uncomfortable and wanted to struggle, but he was so weak that he couldn't break away from Chen Xing, so he was finally controlled by Chen Xing for a while.
"Quick...let go!" Xiang Shu hurriedly said, "What are you doing again! Get lost!"
Xiang Shu pushed Chen Xing's head a few times, but he couldn't move.
Chen Xing tilted his head and leaned against Xiang Shu's shoulder. At the moment, he was both sad and moved. What was sad was that Xiang Shu had lost all his strength, but he himself broke his heart by speaking indiscriminately.What moved me was that even when Xiang Shu couldn't even protect himself, what he cared most about was still Chen Xing's safety.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Chen Xing whispered, "Thank you, Shulukong."
"It hurts!" Xiang Shu said impatiently, with a painful expression on his face, "Let go! Are you trying to take revenge on me now?"
Only then did Chen Xing let him go, and the two stood facing each other, but unnaturally staggered their eyes, as if they didn't want to look at each other for a while, for fear of revealing their inner thoughts.At the end, Xiang Shu suddenly said, "What are you looking for here?"
"Uh, I..." Chen Xing was still feeling overwhelmed for a moment. For some reason, in this dark night, he suddenly understood that many ancient books he had read mentioned the exorcist and the guardian warrior. In the story, the complex emotions revealed between the lines and deeper places.
"Sit down and don't move, or when I regain my strength, you will be the first to teach me a lesson."
After Xiang Shu pointed out the case, he still staggered a bit, walked aside, and looked up at the scroll on the bookshelf.Chen Xing had no choice but to sit down in the dusty room, his mind was still churning with the emotion just now, as if an impulse was driving him to shout out:
Shulukong you bastard!You are so kind!I like you so much!
Item statement: "?"
Chen Xing immediately looked away, and unconsciously turned on the heart lamp in his hand. For some reason, the heart lamp seemed to move with his feelings tonight. It illuminates the room like daytime.
"Stop," Xiang Shu frowned, "Do you want to attract the enemy?"
Chen Xing was scolded again, so he had to withdraw his mana quickly, and Xiang Shu said seriously, "Your mana will cause harm to the body, can you behave yourself?"
Chen Xing had no choice but to reply: "Oh, I just want to take a picture of you."
In fact, at that moment just now, Chen Xing only felt warm in his heart, as if he wanted to sacrifice his heart lamp uncontrollably, as if he wanted to express his emotions.
The two were silent for a while, Xiang Shu held the bamboo slips that Chen Xing had seen before and looked down.
Strange, isn't Xiang Shu incomprehensible in seal script?Chen Xing thought to himself.
Sure enough, Xiang Shu didn't see what was going on, and got up to check the bookshelf again, turned the bookshelf into a mess, as if he was using actions to vent some inner emotions, Chen Xing finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"The owner of this family was also an exorcist before his death," Chen Xing explained. "It seems that he specializes in the direction of the circulation of the heaven and earth, and the blessing of the cave... What are you looking for? Bring it here and let me show you."
Xiang Shu finally regained his composure and said, "Look for the family tree."
Chen Xing suddenly remembered, and said, "Do you think your mother is from this family?"
Xiang Shu didn't answer, took a deep breath, endured the dull pain from his injuries, took down a box from the top of the bookshelf, and opened a roll of yellowed silk from the box.
Chen Xing made a sound in surprise, and was about to get up, but Xiang Shu had already taken the box and spread it out on the table. Chen Xing immediately illuminated the silk with a heart lamp, and looked at the densely packed lines of tiny characters on the silk— — all names.
"Is this the family tree of the Han people?" Xiang Shu asked.
Chen Xing said: "No, this is... the list of Xiang family members who will serve as exorcists after being selected by the Exorcist Division."
This is the honor of the Xiang family that has lasted for hundreds of years since the founding of the Han Dynasty. If it is placed in a family of exorcists, it is really a famous family.Just looking at this line of words, Chen Xing remembered the separate book that recorded the deeds of the exorcist that was left in the master's school and was able to be passed on in the department.
Before each name, there is the year of entry into the Exorcism Department, followed by the magic weapon in charge.From the year of Yiwei, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, almost every few years, children of the Xiang family were selected.When Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne and had a reign title, a large number of young exorcists emerged during the Jianyuan period.
Xiang Shu searched down line by line. Chen Xing wanted to say that the Xiang family had been depopulated a hundred years ago, and he needed to find a family tree to confirm. Suddenly, Xiang Shu trembled uncontrollably, his face turned pale, and his breathing became short of breath, as if Like a drowning person, his gaze stays on a line——
——The first year of Yongping: Xiang Yuyan, the clock of falling souls.
"The first year of Yongping, three hundred... 310 seven years ago." Chen Xing said blankly, "300 years ago? 300 years!"
Feng Qianjun entered the city, saw the resentment in the south of the city at a glance, and immediately came to support him. With his shout and the noise made by Xiao Shan, the whole street woke up suddenly, the lights came on, and then the three kings suddenly pushed the bricks away. Watts turned into black fire and flew away.
"Hoo, hoo..." Chen Xing supported Xiang Shu, and the two staggered towards the west of the city.
"Chen Xing!" Xiao Shan's voice was almost furious, "Chen Xing!"
"Xiao Shan..." Chen Xing turned his head and stopped immediately when he saw Xiao Shan chasing him.Using hands and feet together, Xiao Shan ran down the alley, and stopped in front of Chen Xing and Xiang Shu. He looked at Chen Xing without speaking with an angry face.
Chen Xing was exhausted, but Xiang Shu frowned and said, "If you were told to stay in Hara and Lin, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Shan was so angry that he couldn't speak, then he yelled, and rushed forward like a whirlwind, about to make a statement.
"Stop it!" Chen Xing turned around and hurriedly said, "Xiang Shu can't fight with you now! Xiao Shan! That's great!"
Xiao Shan shook off Chen Xing and took a few steps back.For a moment, Chen Xing didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and asked, "How did you find this place?"
Xiao Shan just didn't answer, his eyes were red from holding back.Chen Xing looked back, fearing that King Ba would come again, he hurriedly supported Xiang Shu, and said, "Come with me, come! Go! It's dangerous here!"
The three hid under a bridge, Chen Xing checked Xiang Shu's injuries, Xiang Shu let out a tired breath, closed his eyes, and remained motionless.
Xiao Shan looked at the two suspiciously.
"Are you okay?" Chen Xing said.
"I'm tired." Xiang Shu was seriously injured by King Ba's blow just now, the corner of his mouth was bleeding, he must have suffered an internal injury, and now even breathing is painful.
Chen Xing was very anxious, and turned to look at Xiao Shan again.
"You have to find a safe place," Chen Xing said, "or leave Kuaiji as soon as possible."
At night, the city was extremely quiet, with occasional crows and footsteps on the bridge.
"Chen Xing!" Feng Qianjun's voice shouted.
"Hush." Chen Xing immediately poked his head out, and Feng Qianjun went down to the bottom of the bridge, heaving a sigh of relief: "The pursuers have all run away, and the people on the street have woken up. Brother Xiang, how are you doing? Get up, come to my house." Go to Qianzhuang and make do with it for the night... Huh? Who are you?"

The two were silent for a while, Xiang Shu held the bamboo slips that Chen Xing had seen before and looked down.
Strange, isn't Xiang Shu incomprehensible in seal script?Chen Xing thought to himself.
Sure enough, Xiang Shu didn't see what was going on, and got up to check the bookshelf again, turned the bookshelf into a mess, as if he was using actions to vent some inner emotions, Chen Xing finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"The owner of this family was also an exorcist before his death," Chen Xing explained. "It seems that he specializes in the direction of the circulation of the heaven and earth, and the blessing of the cave... What are you looking for? Bring it here and let me show you."
Xiang Shu finally regained his composure and said, "Look for the family tree."
Chen Xing suddenly remembered, and said, "Do you think your mother is from this family?"
Xiang Shu didn't answer, took a deep breath, endured the dull pain from his injuries, took down a box from the top of the bookshelf, and opened a roll of yellowed silk from the box.
Chen Xing made a sound in surprise, and was about to get up, but Xiang Shu had already taken the box and spread it out on the table. Chen Xing immediately illuminated the silk with a heart lamp, and looked at the densely packed lines of tiny characters on the silk— — all names.
"Is this the family tree of the Han people?" Xiang Shu asked.
Chen Xing said: "No, this is... the list of Xiang family members who will serve as exorcists after being selected by the Exorcist Division."
This is the honor of the Xiang family that has lasted for hundreds of years since the founding of the Han Dynasty. If it is placed in a family of exorcists, it is really a famous family.Just looking at this line of words, Chen Xing remembered the separate book that recorded the deeds of the exorcist that was left in the master's school and was able to be passed on in the department.
Before each name, there is the year of entry into the Exorcism Department, followed by the magic weapon in charge.From the year of Yiwei, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, almost every few years, children of the Xiang family were selected.When Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne and had a reign title, a large number of young exorcists emerged during the Jianyuan period.
Xiang Shu searched down line by line. Chen Xing wanted to say that the Xiang family had been depopulated a hundred years ago, and he needed to find a family tree to confirm. Suddenly, Xiang Shu trembled uncontrollably, his face turned pale, and his breathing became short of breath, as if Like a drowning person, his gaze stays on a line——
——The first year of Yongping: Xiang Yuyan, the clock of falling souls.
"The first year of Yongping, three hundred... 310 seven years ago." Chen Xing said blankly, "300 years ago? 300 years!"
