Chapter 248: Jinyu's Past

It is said that there is a kind of rooster in the world that always calls people's names in the middle of the night.

The voice is hoarse like an old man and is mostly a woman's name.

If a woman answers it, disaster will occur.

After leaving the chicken coop, Li Daoxuan still couldn't find any trace of the ghost.

Although he had been in the Yao family for a few days, the so-called ghost was playing hide-and-seek with him and was reluctant to show up. He thought it was some kind of evil spirit, but now he found out that it was a ghost with a brain, which surprised him.

Returning to his room, Li Daoxuan sat down and drank a sip of tea without saying a word, his brows furrowed.

Seeing him like this, Gong Youwei jumped to Li Daoxuan's side and asked him how things were going. Li Daoxuan didn't even raise his head and answered casually, "There has been no progress yet."

"This ghost is really strange. It never comes out when I am around. If I am not on guard, it will come out to scare people. It hasn't harmed anyone in these days. I don't know what its wish is that it lingers in the Yao family and refuses to leave."

When Gong Youwei heard this, her big eyes rolled around and she jumped around the table, as if she was doing something.

"If you didn't notice it, maybe it's not a ghost." She stopped talking and told the idea she had just thought of, "Didn't you say that if it was a ghost, it would definitely leave ghost energy. The Yao family has yin energy, but it's not enough. If a ghost is hovering, there must be a gloomy wind. You and I have been here for so many days, have you ever seen a gloomy wind?"

"I have never seen a dark wind before." Li Daoxuan agreed, "This is what I am surprised about. If it was really a ghost, I would be able to tell it. But this beast came and went without a trace, just like a person."

Li Daoxuan was also thinking about his uncle's guidance at this time, but he always felt that what his uncle said might not be completely correct.

"That's right, that's right. Why don't you treat this evil spirit as a human being, and find it in other ways. I guess its unwillingness to leave must be related to Madam Yao, otherwise why would it catch Madam Yao and scare her. If it really had bad intentions towards Madam Yao, it should have taken action these days. But Madam Yao only saw a human figure in front of the bed, but she didn't suffer from the harm of that evil spirit." Gong Youwei spoke very clearly and explained every detail. There were many things that Li Daoxuan didn't take to heart, but now that Gong Youwei mentioned this, it made him feel clear in his mind, and his eyes brightened and he had new ideas.

"Yes, that's absolutely right." Li Daoxuan clapped his hands and walked around the room thinking. Then he picked up the dates on the fruit plate and brought them to Gong Youwei's mouth. "I never thought you were so smart and could think of so many things."

"Of course I know." Gong Youwei moved her ears proudly, stood up on her two feet, stretched out her front legs to take the dates, and then put them into her mouth to chew, squinting her eyes and looking like she was enjoying it. "It's just that I have heard a lot, so I won't forget some things. Although I am not as good as you in many aspects, I can still help you think of solutions."

"Hahaha" Li Daoxuan laughed, joked with Gong Youwei for a few words, then sat on the bed to meditate and sort out the matter of the Yao family.

Just as Gong Youwei said, the Yao family's affairs were full of weirdness inside and out.

Whether it is Qian Bo, Yao Nianchun, or Mrs. Yao, there must be some relationship between them.

"Uncle Qian doesn't let me talk about Yao Nianchun with Madam Yao. Is it just to protect Madam Yao? Or is there some other privacy involved? And is that Yao Nianchun really Yao Nianchun? Could it be that he is not Yao Nianchun? Otherwise, why would Madam Yao say that?" Li Daoxuan muttered to himself and took out the copper coins to prepare for a fortune telling.

He muttered to himself and tossed coins to tell fortunes, and the fortune was Xu.

Xu. There is faith, light and prosperity, and auspiciousness. It is beneficial to cross a large river.

Xiang says: Clouds are rising to the sky, which represents Xu; the gentleman enjoys feasting and pleasure.

The upper hexagram is Kan and the lower hexagram is Qian.

Those who get this hexagram need to wait patiently, as being hasty will lead to disaster.

Li Daoxuan was satisfied as he saw the auspicious signs of the hexagram.

This time, the Yao family's affairs were neither dangerous nor dangerous.

That evil ghost doesn't look like a bad guy, so he must have some wish.

In this case, we might as well think about the past events of the Yao family, and perhaps we can get some information.

Li Daoxuan felt at ease now that he had made up his mind.

Take a symbol and draw it again, and you will get the Yin-Yang fish.

Suddenly I entered the void, and in a trance, I found Yan Chixia. Yesterday I discussed Taoism with Uncle Jiu, and today I met Yan Chixia. This day was painful and happy, until I woke up from the illusory world when my whole body was numb and painful.

I heard the crowing of cocks and the sky suddenly became bright. It was dawn.

Li Daoxuan stood up, rubbing his arms and thighs which were still slightly numb, thinking about the moves that Yan Chixia had taught him last night. He seemed to be still unsatisfied, so he picked up his sword and swam around the yard.

The sword skills taught by Yan Chixia are as graceful as a startled swan and as swift as thunder and lightning.

Holding Long Yuan, the sword winds were so sharp.

When the sword is put down, you can hear the sound of the sword, which is crisp and pleasant.

"Good sword."

Li Daoxuan wiped the sword and liked it more and more the more he looked at it.

This Long Yuan is indeed a famous sword in ancient times, it is truly amazing.

Just with this sword, he can fight with the green-faced hairy zombie again if he meets it.

The so-called wealth, Dharma, companions and land, this wealth is first-class.

Magical weapons are the most important thing for a magician. If one has a top-quality magical weapon, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.

After practicing sword, he returned to the room to wash up with Gong Youwei.

She didn't like rinsing her mouth and brushing her teeth, so Li Daoxuan half forced her and half teased her to do it.

Although he is a fairy, his teeth are naturally white, but Li Daoxuan always feels that if he doesn't brush his teeth, they will have a bad smell after a long time. It would be better for the two of them to brush their teeth together to keep them clean.

After helping Gong Youwei finish washing her face amid her protests and eating the breakfast brought by the maid, Li Daoxuan went to pay his respects to Madam Yao.

This day was quite ordinary. In addition to secretly collecting some information about the Yao family and Mrs. Yao, he once again appreciated ancient paintings with Yao Nianchun.

However, while appreciating the paintings at this time, Li Daoxuan's mind was more complicated. From time to time, he asked about Yao Nianchun and Madam Yao in a roundabout way. But every time he asked, Young Master Yao would always change the subject. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk about it, but Li Daoxuan felt that he would be able to get Yao Nianchun to speak sooner or later.

After saying goodbye to Yao Nianchun, Li Daoxuan played with Yao Jinyu for a while.

Although the little girl looks frail, she is actually full of energy. She plays shuttlecock and frolics enthusiastically, which is quite different from her usual quiet appearance.

Just from chatting, he learned that Yao Jinyu had lived alone in the Yao Mansion when she was young. She was not allowed to go out every day and could only look at the high walls and tiled houses on all sides.

She could only play in the yard by herself, so she really wanted someone to play with her.

"Brother Daoxuan, do you know?" Yao Jinyu sat on the chair, swinging her feet, blinking her big eyes and looking at Li Daoxuan, "I also had a little friend when I was very young."

"Did you have a little friend when you were a child?" Li Daoxuan was surprised to hear this. After all, the Yao family courtyard was deep, and he thought that few people could enter the inner courtyard. Where did this little friend come from?
"Well, she would come to my room every night to play with me. Then she would leave at dawn." Yao Jinyu said with some nostalgia, "Later, my mother found out about this and kicked her out. She was not allowed to enter my house again."

"Wait, Sister Yu. What is your little friend?" Li Daoxuan heard something wrong and quickly interrupted Yao Jinyu and asked back.

He thought this little friend was a human, but who knew that he would come here every night. This was really strange.

"She, she is not a human being." A smile appeared on Yao Jinyu's face.

Li Daoxuan suddenly felt his scalp tingling and his whole body felt like ants were crawling.
