one of my alchemist friends

It seemed as if sparks were about to burst out: "No matter what kind of monster, I will find him out. Then, kill him."

Manager Liu's room was not far away, when he opened the door, a stale and decaying smell came over his face.This location is cool and refreshing, but the lighting is not good, and the four large windows are all drawn with heavy curtains. Even in the daytime, the house is extremely dark, which is very difficult for an old man to move around.Open the curtain and light a dozen candles before you can really see the scene in the house.Gao Jian wanted to open the windows for ventilation, but found that each window was firmly nailed from the inside. "The curtains were only installed recently. Grandpa has always been afraid of the heat. It's already summer, so how could he seal the windows?" Ning Zeping couldn't figure it out, so he had to forward his hopes to Bai and Mo.

Mo Chengkong was looking around.Unlike the case of Bai Ying, the room where Guanshi Liu was killed was clean and tidy, without any signs of fighting, and there was no big hole on the ground.And according to the inventory of the servants, nothing was lost.He took out the blank charm, bit his finger and drew an eye, stuck it on his forehead, looked around and checked again, hesitated for a while, and said: "It stands to reason that even if my spiritual power is insufficient, my blood should not fail. Maybe it's really that peaceful."

Bai Ran's waist was not very calm.From the moment she entered the house, the ghost girl moved frequently, humming non-stop, and the Bailing pouch was about to go out the door pulling Bairan. "Is she afraid?" Gao Jian said to himself when he saw this, and then he seemed to think of something, and said to everyone, "Grandpa sealed the windows and drew the curtains, is it also because of fear?"

At first glance, it sounds like childish language, but it makes sense after thinking about it.In this way, Guanshi Liu had a premonition that the ghost tribe would come to him, and he still tried to struggle knowing that he couldn't escape.And those who came to kill him were most likely important figures in the ghost clan.Just a trace of residual breath made the ghost girl terrified, screaming and running for her life.Maybe it's the manipulator behind it.

There were bursts of exclamations from the courtyard, and several blue-gray figures approached from the sky. The leader was a middle-aged man with a warm face, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I knocked on the door with my two nephews for a long time and there was no answer, so I broke in without permission. Inside the mansion." Bairan heard the sound and came over to see that it was indeed his uncle and two elder brothers.Apparently, neither of the two parties expected to meet here, and they both froze for a moment before saluting each other.Bai Ying spoke first, and jokingly said, "It's been a few days since we saw each other, and the child is so old." Coughing and laughing rang out all at once, Gao Jian saw that Bai Ran was at a loss for words, and jumped out eagerly, "Master is also a father. , nothing wrong, nothing wrong."

"Haha, this brat is interesting. His wit is like Cheng Kong's time."

"Why did uncle come here?" Despite the reunion, Bairan still did not forget to ask questions.

"Father asked us to come here to protect Mr. Liu. Not only here, but also Brother Bai Xun's place in Huaiyang. The nearest place is here first. This old Mr. Liu served his father in the Bai family back then, so he is considered an old man. Why? Already?" Seeing that the rest of the people looked different, he couldn't help asking.

"Everyone, it's a little late..." Ning Zeping had a smile on his lips, and his eyes were clouded.

farewell

"Ugh……"

After listening to the general story, Bai Yan didn't know what to say to express comfort, several emotions welled up in his heart, and only turned into a long sigh.That day when the coffin was transported back to Cuiwang and he explained the whole story to his father, although the old suzerain was ashen-faced, he refused to reveal a word about what happened back then. "This day has finally come. Someone has to take responsibility for something wrong." The old suzerain said with emotion, and then drove the three of them down the mountain to Pingning City and Huaiyang. "It's good to keep it. Everything is fate."

It's still a little late...

"There is nothing wrong with this house." He inspected it carefully for a week, and came to the same conclusion as Mo Chengkong.Compared with the chaos in Baiying's house, the scene seemed abnormally peaceful.The method of killing Guanshi Liu was much gentler in comparison. "The other party knows that there is nothing they want here, and the killing is purely for revenge. Besides..." In order to take into account Ning Zeping's emotions, he deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "The other party does not hate him deeply. If he participated in the incident back then , should be just a small character. It may not be a coincidence that the corpses are placed in the same scene. The kneeling position is for confession, and the location is in the ancestral hall..." He paused, and then continued: "Either it is intended to confess to our ancestors, or the events of the past ...It happened in this ancestral hall."

When the younger generations saw this scene for the first time, they also had some vague thoughts. After listening to their uncle's analysis, the originally hazy thoughts became clear and complete. They all silently thought about the events of the year, trying to restore the scene at that time.The Bailing sac hanging on Bairan's waist was untimely and restless.

"Does she, she, she want to come out?" At first, he couldn't understand the conversation, but now they kept silent collectively, which was of no help anyway.Gao Jian felt bored, so he could only shut up and wait.Although he doesn't like ghost girls, his sense of responsibility is higher than fear, and it is necessary to speak to remind everyone.Besides, he really wanted to cut in.

Everyone put away their thoughts as he wished, and focused their eyes on Bairan's waist.Bairan patted the Bailing sac, trying to appease the ghost girl, but she became even more manic.

"What's in it?"

Seeing his brother reaching out to ask for it, Bairan and Mo Chengkong exchanged glances, untied the bag and handed it over, saying: "The little monster caught last night, a member of the ghost tribe."

"Wow, I haven't seen a ghost clan member before. She is in such pain, why don't you let it out and see what she wants to do?" This elder brother always looked like he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and it was quite a headache.

"This..." Bairan hesitated, but Gao Jian was ready to hide at any time.

"Don't worry, I'll help you catch it after you run away." Bai Ying said as she pulled off the belt, a figure quickly pulled out and fell to the ground.She still has the confinement technique on her feet, and she can climb very fast with her hands.She wanted to flee the house, but when she approached the threshold, she was forced to scream and retreat by the bright light.After seeing the situation inside the house clearly, she tremblingly crawled back to Mo Chengkong's feet, pulled the hem of his clothes and looked up at him with horror written on her face, then cried bitterly and dragged him forward.

Mo Chengkong didn't know what it meant, he only said that she was afraid and wanted to escape, so he let her talk, and his mind was still on the past of the Bai family.

The man in front of her was absent-minded, and behind her was Bai Ying who was holding the Bailing pouch to take her in. The ghost girl was annoyed for a moment, she jumped out with her claws and slapped Mo Chengkong's chest with all her strength.Mo Chengkong subconsciously protected him with his hands, and several bloodstains instantly fell on the back of his hands.There was more shock than pain. The seemingly docile ghost girl lost control and hurt people at this time. Is it because of her intractable nature that she struggled before she died?still……

He couldn't figure it out, and wanted to grab her and ask her carefully, even if she couldn't speak, nodding and shaking her head was enough.There must be something hidden in it, what did he ignore?

When he was in a daze for a moment, the ghost girl quickly crawled towards the door, climbed out of the house, and climbed into the sunlight, screaming, twisting, dead silence, and disappearing in ashes, all in an instant.She didn't want to die, so she ate corpses and harmed people with her companions, and she was so determined to die at this moment.Mo Chengkong stood where she turned into ashes and disappeared, staring blankly at the bloodstain on the back of her hand.The sun was shining brightly, making his scalp slightly hot, but there was a chill in his heart, which lasted for a long time.

The night is as cool as water, and the moonlight is cold.Ning Zeping was overwhelmed and couldn't sleep, so he put on a robe and went out for a walk alone.The entire Ning Mansion has been tossed and tossed during the day, and now it has fallen into a deep dream, leaving silence.Night Breeze was cold, so he tightened his robe, and walked to Manager Liu's room again without realizing it.People go to the empty house, but there is no light, and it is hidden in a shadow, which is a bit weird.He would rather someone than someone who covets life and fears death, oh, it's actually not the case.He is very timid and fearful, but when he is afraid to cry, the person who always holds him in his arms and comforts him with gentle words will never appear again. "You are leaving in a hurry. You haven't seen me take charge of the prosperity of Pingning City, you haven't seen me marry a wife and have children, you haven't let go of the burden to spend the rest of your life leisurely, and you haven't let me fulfill my filial piety and repay you... You have gone too far Hurry." His eyes could no longer bear the tears, and he was alone in the darkness, crying silently.The sky and the earth are so big, as if you can only hear your own breathing.

The footsteps of "dada" came from far to near, especially loud in the quiet night, as if they were deliberately made to be heard by him.Ning Zeping lowered his head and wiped his tears, looking back at the visitor, he was secretly surprised.The man raised the lamp to illuminate his face, and it turned out to be Bairan.

The two sat side by side on the stone steps in front of the house, Ning Zeping knew that he didn't like strangers approaching, so they separated a little distance.He chuckled softly, "Bai Gongzi happened to pass by?"

Bairan was still calm, without any emotional ups and downs in his expression and voice: "Yeah. We just met, so it's good to have a chat."

Ning Zeping was surprised: "I thought you hated me."

Bairan said, "At first it was."

Ning Zeping laughed again: "What can we talk about? Sympathy? Condolences? I'm really okay. You don't have to feel indebted. After all, this happened beyond everyone's expectations."

Bairan was silent for a moment, and said, "We were in the mansion when the incident happened but we didn't notice it. I'm really sorry."

"I said earlier that you don't have to be like this. This matter is far more complicated than it seems on the surface, isn't it? You don't even know the people and things involved, so what can I do? I have to accept my fate, accept my fate." The lights danced Flickering, reflecting his face also flickering.He stopped laughing, and sighed faintly, "I just felt uncomfortable. I was still young at that time, and my father loved to run out all the time besides being busy. He often didn't see each other. It turned out to be estranged. For a long time, because of the disparity in status, no one wanted or dared to talk to me. Only my grandpa accompanied me to eat and play, and taught the bad kids who bullied me outside.

But as long as I complain about my parents, he will teach me in turn.Life is too comfortable, always forget some important things.I have always taken this kind of companionship for granted. I always feel that life is long and there is enough time.I'm not done yet
