In the side hall, Gongbo Longhai was enjoying the iced herbal tea newly brought by the maids with everyone. He occasionally exchanged a few words with Mu Zili and Simeng, but no matter what Simeng hinted, he never spoke about the goblin in the house causing mischief.
Seeing the sun setting in the west and dusk approaching, a gust of wind started blowing outside the house, and suddenly the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if heavy rain was coming.
Gongbo Longhai still didn't mention anything serious, but he asked about trivial matters such as where Penglai Immortal Island was located? How to get to and from Kyushu, how Simeng and the others practiced on weekdays, and so on.
Mu Zili was speechless for a moment, but Xi Meng made up some bizarre things based on the fairy tales he had read in the past. He was so speechless that Gong Bo Long Hai clapped his hands and exclaimed. When he was fascinated, his pair of
His black eyes were shining with bright stars, looking at the purple-clothed woman in front of him, full of admiration and yearning.
Until suddenly there were several muffled thunders outside the hall, lightning split the clouds and mist, and the originally gloomy sky suddenly became bright, and everyone in the hall couldn't help but be shocked.
Seeing the sudden change in the sky and the approaching storm, Simeng finally couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Sir, has anything strange happened in your house recently?" She was thinking in her mind that the rich and handsome man in front of her was really strange. Now,
There was a monster in his house, but he actually had the heart to listen to her story here. Either he had a ghost in his heart, or there really was a ghost in his house.
"This... Miss Meng, this matter is hard to explain in words!" Gongbo Longhai raised his sleeves and held his forehead, as if he had something to hide.
Shi Meng had a troubled expression on his face, and said bluntly: "Young master, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it. We have been ordered by Master to walk in the world, and it is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao." She felt guilty when she said this, so she endured it.
I couldn't help but secretly glance at the wooden spirit sitting opposite, and saw that he had a leisurely look on his face, but his eyes seemed to be staring at something outside through the door.
This dead piece of wood was in a state of wandering at the critical moment, not knowing what to see in the thunder and lightning outside. Shi Meng cursed and coughed twice, his eyes still returning to Gong Bo Long Hai's hesitant face.
As if he had made great determination, he finally lowered his voice and slowly explained the reason.
It turns out that this villa was built by his father, Gong Birch, three years ago. It was only used to escape the heat in summer. On weekdays, only a few servants lived in it and took care of it.
At the beginning of this summer, he came here with his father and aunt to escape the summer heat.
Only a few days after we moved in, my father returned to Beijing beforehand. However, my aunt was ill and did not go with her father.
Less than three days after his father left, he heard from the servants in the mansion that several peacocks raised in the garden outside the dining room had disappeared for no reason. Originally, it was not surprising that the peacocks were missing. He only thought that they had been stolen by thieves.
Unknown.
However, for several days after that, all the chickens and ducks in the house disappeared, as well as the two pairs of thrushes that my father loved most. The maid even said that she saw a child dressed in red in the garden at night, laughing innocently.
Xie, calling him did not turn around, he just blinked and disappeared.
This matter spread quickly in the mansion, and people were panicked for a while. Some elderly people only thought that there was a ghost in the mansion, and there would be a bloody disaster soon.
Gongbo Longhai had been fond of these strange and strange things since he was a child. He didn't expect that they would happen in his own house. Out of curiosity, he ordered his servant to hide in the garden in the middle of the night to find out.
Unexpectedly, the garden was very quiet that night. He and his young boy stayed among the flowers and plants and were stared at by mosquitoes all night, but they didn't notice anything unusual. At around midnight, he felt really sleepy, so he went back to his room to rest.
But at about midnight the next day, the housekeeper reported that Aunt Xu was all black and had died under the rockery in the garden with no clothes on.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. The house was already in an uproar because of the unexplained disappearance of livestock. Aunt Xu died tragically in the garden for no reason. It just happened to be in line with what housekeeper Li said earlier, that the house must be haunted by ghosts, which led to this bloody disaster.
.
Gongbo Longhai sent people to the government office for careful inspection, but could not find out the cause of death. Because it was summer and feared that the body would die, he had to bury it in a hurry. He also temporarily closed the garden, prohibiting entry and exit, and even took care of it himself.
There are many talismans drawn in the classics to ward off evil spirits, and the outer walls of the garden are heavily wrapped.
But after this incident, many gardeners and servants who used to take care of the garden were so scared that they quit their jobs and left their homes, and some even left their homes for this reason.
Fearing that another innocent person would lose his life, Gongbo Longhai had no choice but to post a notice and search for strangers in the world, hoping to solve the matter as soon as possible.
However, in the past month, most of the people who took off the silk notices and came to the house to get rid of the monsters were those who were seeking fame and reputation, cheating people with food and drinks.
Just last night, dozens of chickens and ducks newly bought for the dining room disappeared without a trace, along with the black guard dog.
Therefore, when he saw a few of them coming today, he had no expectations at all and just greeted them as ordinary guests.
Unexpectedly, I had just met them a few times and already felt quite friendly. When I heard Shi Meng talk about the interesting things about cultivating immortals and catching monsters in the past, my doubts gradually dissipated, and then I opened my heart and spoke the truth.
When he finished speaking, it happened that Yi Feng led Cai Xi back to the side hall from the wind and rain.
Gong Bo Long Hai raised his eyes and saw that it was very windy and rainy outside, but when the two of them came in from the rain, not even the corners of their clothes got wet. He couldn't help but become more and more convinced that they must be immortal disciples with profound magical powers.
So he stood up slowly, let Yifeng and Caixi into the hall, and ordered the maid to bring new tea. He picked up the tea cup and walked into the hall, bowing slightly, "Things here are quite difficult to think about, but Xiaosheng really has no other choice."
I can only help you all!"
Xi Meng was bowing his head in deep thought, replaying everything he just said in his mind, thinking carefully about the strangeness in it.
Yifeng and Caixi had just come in and didn't hear what he said before, so they were a little surprised by his actions. They both looked at Mu Zili who had a calm face.
"Young Master, you don't need to be polite! If I have something to ask you, please speak up." Seeing him salute, Mu Zili stood up and returned the salute.
"Don't dare to ask for advice. If the immortal has anything to say, feel free to ask."
"The corner opposite this pavilion is next to the garden you mentioned?" Mu Zili walked a few steps outside, stopped at the door, raised his sleeves and pointed to a corner with rugged rocks that he had been observing in front of him.
Gong Bo Long Hai followed the direction of his finger and looked, he was shocked, turned around and held his hands, "Exactly! Immortal Chang has good eyesight! The garden is at least dozens of feet away from here, Immortal Chang can actually figure out the clues here, I must
What's weird in the garden, does the Immortal already know it?"
Sure enough, Mu Zili felt relieved. If his guess was correct, it was just a little monster with low spiritual power. However, the wind and rain were heavy now, and the little monster's aura was already too weak to be heard. Now he wanted to find it.
I'm afraid there are some difficulties.
"Master, don't be anxious! This matter is not as difficult as you thought, but it's already late today and it's raining heavily. We've been on the road for another day..."
