Green scales

West Street, at this time the mist cleared.

Today is a fine day, and when the sun clears the mist, it also drives away the days of rain.The streets were bustling with people, but Yuqin avoided the crowd without looking sideways, followed the path pointed by the old man to Xie's mansion, looking for someone.

After stepping into the corner, Yuqin understood what the old man said—the Xie family recognized it very well.

Xie Mansion is a top-notch merchant family in Yongshui City.The family is full of grandeur, Yuqin once heard Xia Xinglan say that Master Xie's mansion is a great benevolent person, but the two sons are useless, their bones softened in the gold and silver nest of ecstasy since they were young, and their father's skills have not been learned How much, it touches a whole body of problems.

Most of the common people only talked about Mr. Xie when they mentioned Xie's mansion, but if anyone mentioned those two sons, they all snorted coldly and reprimanded them as ignorant and incompetent.

But it's a pity, ever since Mr. Xie came back from a long trip, he couldn't get sick, and the family affairs fell on the heads of the two sons, but there were many jokes.

Seeing that the family business was about to go bankrupt, but Mr. Xie's condition did not improve for a long time, Mrs. Xie listened to someone's recommendation and came to ask Mr. Xia to have a look.

Yuqin looked at the majestic building in front of him, but there were very few people on both sides of the street, and there was not even a servant at the door. The door was closed under the blue sky and broad daylight, showing a lifeless appearance.

Yuqin closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes had turned into golden vertical pupils, and when she looked carefully, she saw a layer of black air covering the huge Xie Mansion.

"Monster Qi." Yuqin murmured.

Although mortals can't see this evil spirit, they will still feel uncomfortable if they get close to it. In addition, one more thing is worse than one less thing, so most of the people would rather take a detour than pass by this Xie Mansion.The prosperous Xie Mansion in the past is now deserted.

But although there is a demonic aura, it seems to him to be extremely superficial, and there is no other reason. Yuqin slowly shifted his gaze to the two stone lions at the door.

The stone lion's eyes are like copper bells, its body is majestic, and its claws and claws are majestic.Yuqin tilted his head and looked at it for a moment, then snapped his fingers with one hand, and suddenly a green cold light shot straight at the stone lion like an arrow off the string!

Unexpectedly, the cold glow suddenly stopped at an arm's length in front of the stone lion, as if it had hit some barrier, made a dull sound, and stopped in mid-air!

Yuqin raised his eyebrows, became a bit interested, and then stepped forward a few steps, and was about to raise his hand to attack again, when a dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from around the stone lion, and a deafening lion's roar engulfed the power of the lion. Sweep straight at him!

"Oh?" Yuqin glanced at it with great interest, but when she was about to shake off the paper umbrella, she paused suddenly, as if remembering something, she turned to put the paper umbrella away pitifully, and held it together with the food box stand behind.

Immediately, Yuqin raised his hand and spontaneously pulled out a translucent jasper hairpin. With a flash of blue light, the jasper hairpin turned into a slender soft sword.

Holding the sword in one hand, Yuqin only made a few slashes in vain. Immediately, several sword qi collided with the golden light erupting from the stone lion, and the fight was endless!Not long after, the sword energy has gained the upper hand, smashing the golden light one by one!

The turmoil rose suddenly but calmness was restored in an instant, as if nothing had happened just now.

With a turn of Yuqin's wrist, the soft sword glowed with green light again, and turned into an ordinary jade hairpin lying in his palm again.

Yuqin Shi ran forward a few steps, but this time there was no change in the stone lion. Yuqin stepped forward and put the umbrella and food box on the stone platform, tied up the scattered black hair again, and fixed the jade hairpin.Then he leaned on the stone platform with one hand, leaned against the stone lion with half of his body, and waited slowly.

Looking from afar, I saw a man in Tsing Yi leaning on the stone lion. Although his figure was slim, his ink-like black hair and occasionally exposed white arms were very eye-catching.

The fighting outside the Xie Mansion has ceased, but inside the Xie Mansion, people are still panicking.The servant girls from all over the house are gathered in the back garden at this moment, crowded with people, but no one dares to make a noise.

Although Master Xie was awake, his face was pale and his eyes were black and blue.Mrs. Xie took good care of her at the side, and the next seat was the two young masters.Opposite the young master, sat a tall young man with a handsome face.

"Daozhang, everyone in the whole house is here." Master Xie said weakly.

The young man nodded, noncommittal.

"Daoist, this..." Mrs. Xie looked hesitantly at the group of servants below. Xia Xinglan gathered everyone here early in the morning, and he sat there for a long time without seeing him speak. Mrs. Xie really She couldn't figure it out, she never believed in ghosts and gods, and now she felt more and more that this "Daoist Xia" was also a liar pretending to be a ghost.

But if it wasn't for the doctors who couldn't cure the master's illness... Mrs. Xie looked at the pale-eyed Master Xie, and patted him on the back in distress.

Forget it, try it.

Xia Xinglan sat upright, and needles could be heard in the entire back garden.He came to Xie's mansion yesterday, and he could tell at a glance that there was a monster, but the monster was hidden in such a good place, it would be difficult for him to catch it for a while.For now, just wait.

The first young master and the second young master looked at each other, and they both saw impatience in each other's eyes. They were pulled up from the gentle village early in the morning, and sat here bored for almost an hour!

This is definitely a charlatan!The two looked at each other, as if they had a tacit understanding, they got up together and said: "Father, mother, the child still has something to do, so let's leave first."

"Go ahead." Mrs. Xie nodded.

"Wait!" Master Xie abruptly took the conversation away, turned his gaze to Xia Xinglan, and said cautiously, "Taoist...what do you think?"

Xia Xinglan glanced at the two of them, and said slowly, "No one is allowed to leave." The voice was thick and full of magnetism, and for some reason, the servants, who were already a little panic-stricken, fell unexpectedly quiet after hearing Xia Xinglan's words .

Except for these two young masters.

"You called us early in the morning, but you just let us sit around! Do you know how many things we have to do?! Just here to play around with you!" The second young master was the first to lose his composure. Good air.

The young master was noncommittal, but he did not stop his younger brother.

"You bastard! Cough cough... you sit down! How dare you be rude to the Taoist priest!" Mr. Xie suddenly sat up and scolded angrily. Master, don't be angry, don't be angry, Xing'er also wants to share your worries, there are many affairs at home, Xing'er and Ming'er are also tired these days."

"They spend all day drinking and thinking that I don't know?! Dealing with affairs? Made me a mess!" Mr. Xie said angrily, swung his hand on his chest, gasped and coughed, and said intermittently : "It's because you have always spoiled them, look at what they look like now?! Loving mother, what a loser!"

Mrs. Xie rubbed her hands aggrievedly, not daring to say anything.

Seeing his father scolding them angrily in front of so many people, the young master couldn't help but say coldly, "Father doesn't need to be harsh on mother. After all, father has been busy for many years, so naturally he doesn't have time to discipline us." .”

"You...you." Hearing this, Mr. Xie felt a tightness in his chest. He raised his hand and pointed at his elder son tremblingly. His lips fluttered "you" for a long time but he couldn't say a word. Very angry.

Seeing this, the second young master hurried forward and together with his mother to comfort Mr. Xie, "Minger! How can you talk to your father like that?!" Mrs. Xie hurriedly winked at the young master, but the young master turned a deaf ear.

Xia Xinglan didn't want to get involved in the family's disputes, so she interrupted: "Everyone in the house is here? Is there anything missing?"

Without waiting for Master Xie to answer, the young master felt as if Xia Xinglan had ignored him. He became angry instantly, and suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Xia Xinglan's collar, asking, "What exactly are you trying to do?! Let's ask you to My father treats the illness, you are good, here pretending to be a ghost, I think you are a liar!"

Mr. Xie coughed violently, Mrs. Xie and the second young master were very busy all of a sudden, handing water and slapping their backs.Mrs. Xie hurriedly signaled the second young master to stop him, and the second young master muttered, "Brother is right again."

Xia Xinglan didn't change his face, and slowly got up, and when he stood still, he was half a head taller than the young master.The eldest young master looked at the tall man in front of him, and was a little timid for a while, but he didn't want to lose face, so he raised his hand and punched him.

Xia Xinglan didn't even look at it, and raised one hand to firmly grasp the fist. The young master wanted to pull his hand out, but he didn't move at all!Immediately, Xia Xinglan with the other hand separated the young master's fingers holding onto his skirt one by one, and waved his hand to smooth out the wrinkles.

"This is a shirt made by my wife, please be careful." The tone was indifferent, as if talking about the weather, but everyone present felt a chill subconsciously.

"You...don't make any sense!" The eldest young master has always been used to smooth sailing, but he had never been humiliated in public before, and suddenly he was angry, and he wanted to show this ignorant person no matter what!

After finishing the speech, he raised his fist and wanted to fight again, when everyone exclaimed, before they had time to persuade the fight, they only heard the sound of a golden sword, and the atmosphere in the arena was frozen.

I saw Xia Xinglan holding the sword behind his back in one hand, and pressing the scabbard on the young master's shoulder with the other.From the looks of it, it was only Xia Xinglan who was holding the scabbard against the young master's shoulder, but the young master was ashen-faced, with a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and remained motionless.

But it's not that he doesn't move, it's that he can't move.The scabbard pressed against him like a mighty force, making it difficult for him to move!

Immediately Xia Xinglan took a step forward, put the scabbard against the young master, and took a step back, and continued to advance step by step until the young master stepped back to the chair, Xia Xinglan said calmly, "Don't worry, someone hasn't arrived yet."

As soon as the words fell, Xia Xinglan retracted the scabbard, and the young master sat down on the chair as if relieved from a heavy burden, with a panicked expression on his face.Xia Xinglan didn't even look at it, and sat back in her seat again.

As a result, no one in the field dared to complain anymore, even the second young master became more peaceful.

"There's still one person who hasn't arrived. Is that so? Second Young Master." Xia Xinglan spoke slowly, but the point of the conversation was directed at Second Young Master who was squatting aside, and countless eyes turned to him in an instant!The second young master bit the bullet and stumbled: "You ask me how I know! Isn't everyone here here?"

Xia Xinglan didn't want to argue with him, so she turned her gaze to Mrs. Xie who was standing aside, and said softly, "Mrs. Xie, all the affairs of the inner house are in your hands. If you look carefully, is there someone who hasn't arrived yet?"

Mrs. Xie blinked her eyes as if waking up from a dream, then hurriedly responded and looked carefully, and said after a while: "Ah! Brocade girl hasn't arrived yet!"
