Yan Shouyi, who was tied up by Wu Hua Da, felt relieved. If these ghosts from the Liu family really wanted to eat him, he would have no choice but to fight to the death.
These ghosts were not Yan Shouyi's opponents. The reason why Yan Shouyi did not take action at first was because he was worried that he would offend the Liu family's ancestor, the Ghost King.
Yan Shouyi has already provoked the Bai family, and he came here just to use the strength of the Liu family to deal with the Bai family. If he provokes the Liu family again, then he really doesn't have to stay in Rongcheng...
As soon as they heard that they were the guests of their ancestors, the ghosts quickly retreated and did not dare to approach Yan Shouyi, although they were still very greedy for Yan Shouyi's yang energy.
The ghost dressed in the Republic of China came forward and wanted to shake hands with Yan Shouyi. He found that Yan Shouyi was tied up and quickly untied him.
As a result, before he could take action, Yan Shou simply shook his head and untied the rope.
This is the simplest "rope-untying spell" in Lu Ban's book. Ordinary ropes cannot trap them at all.
When the other party saw it, he was filled with admiration: "As expected of the descendant of Lu Ban, Mr. Yan, my name is Liu Weiguo, and my ancestors specially sent me to invite you to meet him."
Yan Shouyi looked at Liu Weiguo. He was wearing the clothes of the Republic of China, a student, and a pair of glasses. His appearance was completely different from that of Liu Mingzhi.
Generally speaking, ghosts will keep their appearance after death, and even the clothes they wore in life will be retained. This is why people try to make the dead look more graceful.
Let the deceased go away with dignity, so that the afterlife will not be too ugly.
So in fact, hanged ghosts are a very repulsive type among ghosts because they are so ugly. They stick out their tongues all day long and walk on tiptoes. Even ghosts despise them.
Yan Shouyi moved his hands and feet and shook hands with Liu Weiguo: "My sudden intrusion won't offend the old man too much, right?"
Liu Weiguo shook his head: "Yesterday, Mingzhi met our ancestors in a dream and mentioned once again that you would come to visit our ancestors."
"I see."
Following Liu Weiguo, Yan Shouyi walked around from the side corridor to the front yard and walked the same path again.
After passing through the ancient well, Yan Shouyi was equivalent to coming to another dimension. The Liu House here is no different from the real Liu House. Both the layout and decorations are exactly the same, but they look a little weirder.
That's all.
There is another huge difference, that is, the Willow Mansion in the earth only has coffins and paper figures, while the Willow Mansion here is full of ghosts.
It's just that when there are more ghosts, they are no more unusual than living people. Instead, Yan Shouyi, a living person, broke in and attracted the ghosts of the Liu family to look at each other, just like tourists looking at giant pandas in a zoo. Yan Shouyi
Shouyi finally experienced the feeling of being surrounded by stars.
Mainly,
Just watch it, is it a bit too much to drool over me?
Under the leadership of Liu Weiguo, Yan Shouyi came to the lobby of Liu's house and saw an imperial chair on the left and right of the high hall. Two old people, a man and a woman, were sitting on the imperial chair.
The old man was making tea, and the old woman was resting with her eyes closed.
Both of them were pale, the old man was bloated, and his fat robe was completely stretched out, almost filling the Taishi chair; the old woman was skinny and skinny, and her whole body was placed on the Taishi chair like a small statue.
What Yan Shouyi didn't expect was that behind the two of them, there was a girl dressed in modern clothes.
The girl is about twenty years old, very good-looking, wearing a white dress, and has the air of an artistic young woman, but she is holding a fan and gently shaking it for the old woman.
Yan Shouyi noticed that this girl looked somewhat similar to Liu Yiren.
You must know that Liu Mingzhi's lineage is not the orthodox Liu family in Guling. Along the way, Yan Shouyi didn't see anyone who looked similar to Liu Mingzhi, but this girl looked almost the same as Liu Yiren. Could it be that the two of them were related?
What's the relationship?
Liu Weiguo brought Yan Shou to him, knelt on the ground and knocked his head and shouted: "Old ancestor, Weiguo has brought Mr. Yan!"
The old man nodded: "You can retreat."
"The old lady will live as long as heaven." After Liu Weiguo finished speaking, he left.
This ancestor of the Liu family had a dark beard, which gave people a sense of calm and self-power, but what made Yan Shouyi a little uncomfortable was the sense of oppression he gave him.
The man in front of me is a ghost king who has lived for hundreds of years!
Judging by his attire, we can tell that this old man is from the Ming Dynasty and is at least 400 years old now.
"My name is Liu Jingkang!" the old man introduced himself, "During the Hongzhi period, I became the Minister of the Ministry of Finance!"
Yan Shou understood clearly that the ancestor of the Liu family had once been such a high-ranking official. No wonder he could bribe the underworld officials after death to stay in the human world and continue the Liu family's destiny.
Nowadays, the ancestors of many big families were also high officials in ancient times. Even if dynasties change and times change, big families will always be big families. The wealth and connections accumulated by the ancestors will be difficult for future generations to lose in ten lifetimes.
of.
No matter how rich those nouveau riche are, they are still just nouveau riche. There is no comparison at all with these families that have been developing for hundreds of years, and they are not even on the same level at all.
If we follow the rules of the old society, Yan Shouyi will kneel down and salute when he sees Liu Jingkang, but Yan Shouyi is a modern person. He kneels to the sky and kneels to his parents. Liu Jingkang is only born a few years earlier than Yan Shouyi.
It's only been a hundred years, not worthy of Yan Shou's kneeling down.
So Yan Shouyi clasped his fists and bent down: "Junior Yan Shouyi, I have met Mr. Liu."
Seeing Yan Shouyi not kneeling, Liu Jingkang was a little unhappy, but he did not express it. He then asked:
"As Mingzhi said last night, you want to see me, but what's the matter?"
Yan Shouyi did not mince words and said bluntly: "This junior has unintentionally provoked the people of the Bai family in Feifeng Mountain. I hope Mr. Liu can make excuses to avoid the intensification of conflicts. This junior is just a passerby in Rongcheng. I only hope to live in peace and harmony."
It’s December, so I’ll leave as soon as I’m done, I don’t want to cause too much trouble.”
After hearing this, Liu Jingkang remained silent and picked up the teacup silently, seeming to be thinking about something.
Suddenly, Liu Jingkang put down his tea cup and shouted to the door: "Come here, take down Yan Shou and take him to the woodshed and lock him up for a few days!"
Yan Shouyi was stunned. Before he could recover, several powerful evil spirits rushed in from outside the door and held Yan Shouyi firmly.
These evil ghosts are all tall and tall, with hunched muscles on their bodies. They only wear a pair of large pants and are tied with thick white hemp ropes. Their faces are full of flesh. They are not at all like the skinny and dry souls outside.
It can be compared to the scattered ghosts.
Without saying a word, they held Yan Shouyi up, preventing him from moving, and then put shackles on his hands and feet!
Yan Shouyi struggled and said in confusion: "Mr. Liu, do you dare to ask me what I did wrong? You are going to arrest me indiscriminately!"
"Stop talking nonsense, take him away!" An evil ghost covered Yan Shouyi's mouth and had him dragged out.
The girl standing behind the old woman saw a trace of worry in her eyes when she saw Yan Shouyi being dragged away.
Suddenly, the old woman opened her eyes and said to Liu Jingkang: "Don't use force when dealing with the descendants of Lu Ban. I'm afraid it will be counterproductive."
Liu Jingkang had a sullen face and let out a long breath. His body suddenly shriveled up like a deflated ball.
He replied weakly: "My energy is exhausted and time is running out. This is a helpless act."
The old woman sighed: "You and I have lived for more than four hundred years, are you still not tired of it? Why not let go of your obsession and go to the underworld to reincarnate."
"Impossible. How can my Liu family, which has hundreds of years of foundation, be handed over to my descendants so easily?! They don't understand anything... they don't understand anything... How can I rest assured that the Liu family is in their hands..."
Liu Jingkang shook his head, sighed, and after finishing speaking, he fell into a deep sleep. Even if he was a ghost, he looked like an old man in his twilight years.
Seeing this, the old woman waved, and the girl behind her stepped forward and turned her ear.
The old woman said something in the girl's ear. The girl nodded, put down her fan, and walked out slowly...
