Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

Chapter 22

The bamboo repairman hugged Yunli, and Yunli was shoved into the prefect's mansion in a daze, where he lay down in hot water and took a bath.After taking a shower, he changed into the clean clothes prepared for him by the servants in the mansion, just as he opened the door to go out, he glanced at the situation outside, then stepped back and closed the door.

Outside, the prefect of Shuzhou was in a good mood, and he set up wine tables inside and outside the mansion, inviting people from all walks of life to have fun together.In a blink of an eye, several round tables were filled with food contributed by Xiuzhu's family, making up the first feast after the drought.On the round table, there are many fine wines treasured by wealthy households, and Yun Li was forced back by the intoxicating aroma of the wine.

Yun Li put the latch on and locked the door.

Mu Zhe's voice came out together with Guanqingjing: "Why don't you go out for a drink?"

If you ask knowingly, you don't need to answer, Yun Li asked directly: "Did Master find out what happened?"

Mu Zhe said boringly: "If you care so much about Xiuzhu's affairs, as a teacher's apprentice, you are really dedicated. As a teacher, I have given you the position of Si Mingjun. Well, I hope you will hit the south wall, but now you seem like a wall. Didn’t hit you, and you’re still doing well below. You’ve formed your own sect of ‘immortals’, praying for rain in the name of being ordered by your master, and gaining a firm foothold in Xiuzhu, but you’re playing the banner of being a master in your heart?”

Yunli joked: "Of course, I only have you as my master, Mu Zhejun. But, in fact, if someone asks me who my master is and where the sect is, I can't tell; Don't worry, if others pursue it, I can only confess you, and use your prestige, Master, to suppress everyone's anger."

Mu Zhe snorted and said, "Little brat...cough, I don't have the same knowledge as you as a teacher. Speaking of which, I found out what you asked me to check. I asked several little fairies who were responsible for the plague, and one of them was Su Qiuguang. You can take a look at it.” Just when he was about to switch the screen of the viewing mirror, Mu Zhe added: “The wizard surnamed He has nothing to do with you. Big, get over this matter, and stop meddling in other people's affairs in the future, and understand Su Tong's thoughts, it is true to come back sooner."

After the words fell, Mu Zhe walked away, and a scene that was both familiar and unfamiliar appeared in Yunli's viewing mirror.

It is familiar because it is Su Qiuguang's room, which is the place where Su Tong often goes to take care of his father. It is strange because Yunli has never seen this scene without Su Tong's participation.

On the shabby couch next to the earthen wall, Su Qiuguang was so emaciated that his throat was rumbling, the mattress beside his pillow was full of saliva, and his limbs twitched from time to time like dry wood.The light in the room was dim, and only a few rays of moonlight came through the cracks in the windows.After a while of silence, several people's conversations came from outside the door.The first voice was not difficult to identify, it was Yanshan's: "Begger's mother, Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng have invited someone here, beggar's father still has help."

Su Tong's mother: "Thank you Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng, our family has accumulated virtues in our previous life, so we can meet you two!"

Yanshan: "Don't tell me, don't tell me, Songyi, get up, Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng have troubles in the waist and legs, even the elders can't help you if you perform such a big ceremony!"

Cheng: "Songyi, let the two gentlemen in, let Qiuguang take a look first."

Mother Su: "Please come in, gentlemen, please gentlemen! We have invited all the doctors in a radius of tens of miles, and the doctors have no choice but to invite you wizards to take a look..."

Cheng Lao: "Songyi, beggar, don't follow, everyone is waiting outside."

Cheng: "Seeking light is probably recruiting some kind of sinister thing. You may be injured if you go in. Those two gentlemen have their own methods."

The two sorcerers mentioned by the crowd opened the door curtain, entered the door and came to Su Qiuguang's bed.

Because Yunli had made mental preparations, he knew that one of the two people who came in must be Nie Qiu, so he was able to recognize a face in the viewing mirror that he seemed to have never known at first glance: Nie Qiu at this time, and Nie Qiu. The broken wizard dressed as a beggar looks like two different people.He was neatly dressed, and his pretty face was full of seriousness. He didn't look sloppy or unreliable.

Nie Qiu took out his wooden ball, threw it casually in the palm of his hand, looked at the unconscious Su Qiuguang, and said to the people behind him: "Nie Cang, look, this man's eyes are quite wide."

"It's... pretty big."

Nie Qiu turned her head and said with a smile: "I want you to tell me, what does his eyes widen mean? You and I, I think Master likes you the most, but you don't care about these key details when you usually do things , how will we inherit master’s skills in the future?”

The one he called Nie Cang was a tall and handsome young man who could clearly stand on his own, but he looked like a respectful child in front of Nie Qiu: "What brother said is true." Nie Qiu nodded and waited for his next words, but he unexpectedly No further words, just stick straight.Nie Qiu in the viewing mirror didn't know whether to laugh or cry, knocked him on the head and said, "It's not for you to admit your mistakes, but for you to talk about your own thoughts."

Nie Cang murmured: "I don't know...Senior brother...Master...he has never taught it before."

Nie Qiu said: "Master leads the door, and practice depends on the individual. Nie Cang, aptitude belongs to aptitude. You can grasp what the master teaches better than me, and you can't accumulate enough experience. Remember, learning is outside the teacher's door. A lot of knowledge is for you to explore by yourself."

Nie Cang: "Yeah."

Yun Li looked at these two senior brothers, one sincerely caring for the younger generation, the other intelligent, humble and lovable, with a deep affection for each other, no wonder Nie Qiu did not hesitate to go abroad to find this junior.

Nie Qiu said: "It's not just us wizards, ordinary people can also see if they look carefully: this person's eyes are staring like this, not because of physical illness, but because he saw something and was frightened, but I couldn't move my eyes, so I was delirious with fright."

Without his reminder, even Yunli didn't think of this.

As soon as he said that, Yun Li subconsciously looked in the direction indicated by Su Qiuguang's eyes: in the corner of the viewing mirror, that is, on the ceiling of that room, there was a shrinking figure.If you take a closer look, it's no different from a tear-picking girl.The tear-picking girl was wearing a black dress, with her long hair hanging over her face, and she curled herself up in the shadows, looking like she was hiding from people.No wonder just now when Su Qiuguang was alone, his eyes were fixed, and he murmured some noises tremblingly.

Unfortunately, when the tear-picking girl was frightening, two wizards came in.Ordinarily, she should run away immediately, but she couldn't bear the tears on Su Qiuguang's face that she had spent a long time frightening, so she had a little luck, hoping to hide until Nie Qiu and the two left.

"Brother... there is a female ghost." Nie Cang whispered.

Nie Qiu said: "What should I do if I see an evil spirit? This master must have taught me."

Nie Cang gave a "hmm", pinched a talisman and waved it towards the tear-picking girl.When the spell locked on the tear-picking girl, it also formed an enchantment on the window and the door frame. The tear-picking girl had nowhere to hide, she panicked for a while, and suddenly got an idea and slipped into Su Qiuguang's dream.

As soon as she fell into the dream, Cailei girl thought that everything would be fine, but she didn't expect that Nie Qiu and Nie Cang had a special way to catch the ghost in the dream.What the master taught, Nie Cang can be said to be very proficient in doing it. Immediately, a talisman slapped Su Qiuguang's eyebrows, shaking the tear-picking girl out, and then quickly wrapped a rope around her neck, and pulled the tear-picking girl. Women are locked up.

On this side, Nie Cang and Cailei Nu resisted with brute force, while Nie Qiu on the other side drew a few talismans, stuck them on Su Qiuguang's body, and said to everyone outside the curtain: "We have captured the evil spirits! "

Hearing that it was an "evil ghost", no one outside dared to speak out.

That tear-picking girl is really pitiful, "alive" was torn into pieces by the two senior brothers and sisters with a talisman on the left and a talisman on the right.

After the ritual of killing ghosts was over, Nie Qiu leaned over to look at Su Qiuguang who had calmed down again, and said, "This person's illness seems to be far from being so simple to be cured."

Nie Cang wiped his sweat with his hand and said, "Hasn't the evil spirit been dealt with?"

Nie Qiu gestured to Su Qiuguang and said, "I don't know the effect of that evil spirit on the disease for the time being, but you see... there is a seal on this person's heart, and the seal has gathered the plague in one place, and the doctor's medicine can't unseal it." , so he has been ill for a long time."

Nie Cang: "... Really!"

Nie Qiu's nose twitched: "The aura on the seal doesn't look like a ghost, but like... the power of a fairy king or a god."

"Xianli?"

"Correct."

Nie Qiu took out the wooden ball and said: "But this celestial power is not strong, we can break it with our ability." While speaking, the wooden ball opened a seam, opened its stomach and absorbed the seal that Nie Qiu pointed at , "Next, the patient only needs to take the medicine normally according to the doctor's prescription, and he will be cured in less than half a month."

Seeing this, Yun Xin couldn't help being startled: Nie Qiu had touched Su Qiuguang's real cause of disease, and handled it properly.Combined with the matter of praying for rain and Lei Gong's words, Yunli realized that this bad wizard has real skills!However, if he did as he said, there would be no reason for Su Qiuguang to die, and the plague would not start from this and spread violently.In the end, where did the mistakes come from?

Just as Yunli was thinking, Nie Qiu had already taken his junior brother Nie Cang out.

Yanshan: "How are you two gentlemen?"

Nie Qiu: "Continue to take the doctor's medicine. I put a few talismans on the patient to drive away ghosts. During this period of time, as long as he is no longer frightened and takes good care of him, he should be fine."

Su Mu Songyi: "It's good...it's good...thank you two gentlemen! Thank you Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng! Thank you Yanshan! Beggar, you can go back and rest, your father has me here."

In the viewing mirror, the door curtain was lifted, and a woman walked in quickly, laying down in front of the couch and wiping the sweat from her forehead a few times for her sleeping husband.She thought it was because she hadn't been able to sleep well for many days, and now she felt at ease, so she dragged an old rattan chair over, guarded it and fell asleep.

The only two people in the room are sleeping, and the picture is almost static.Yun Li knocked on the mirror and said, "Master, what do you want me to see?"

Mu Zhe's voice: "Don't worry, just wait a moment. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something just now. The person in my life book, the deadline came three days ago, and I don't plan to Open a new book. Taking advantage of these few days of leisure, I will go to Zangnan Wonderland to play for a while, so I won’t worry about your affairs, you take good care of yourself.”

Yunli: "Siming Wonderland, you let go of it?"

Mu Zhe smiled and said, "I've already told the fairies that if something urgent happens, I'll come to Xiuzhu in the mortal Shuzhou to find you. Sooner or later, I will give you the position of Lord Si Ming. As for the Siming Immortal Realm, sooner or later it will be your responsibility, during this period of time, you should adapt to it in advance, and experience the hardships of being a teacher by the way!"

Yunli: "Such a big stall, if you don't discuss it with me, you have to talk about it in advance!"

Mu Zhe: "Shhh—don't yell, just keep watching and keep watching."

Yun Li held his chin, feeling extremely depressed.The little immortals in the Siming Immortal Realm mess around in the open and in the dark, causing troubles every now and then. Who knows if he will be able to stay in Xiuzhu with peace of mind in the future.

However, since Mu Zhe punished those little immortals who wrote the confession letter, it also sounded a wake-up call to other little immortals, letting them understand that Si Mingjun's rules are loose, but it is not without them. The most important thing is not to provoke them. Yunli is Si Mingjun's apprentice.Yunli sits in Si Mingjun's place, and the fairies will be more or less cautious for a while. If they want to put on any "big show" with whimsical ideas, at least they have to wait until Yunli's replacement is over, the "kind and generous" Mu Zhejun return.

After thinking for a while, Yun Li almost comforted himself, but the picture in the viewing mirror was still frozen.

Yun Li yawned, "When will..."

Mu Zhe: "Here, there's something to watch."

In the bronze mirror, the door curtain that had been silent for a long time was lifted, and a person walked in lightly.

The person who came was Nie Qiu's younger brother, Nie Cang.

Song Yi on the rattan chair didn't sleep deeply, and when he realized that there was someone in the room in his dream, he woke up instantly.Nie Cang was about to wake her up, but seeing that she had woken up, he withdrew the hand that was about to pat her on the shoulder.Song Yi got up and said in surprise: "Mr. Nie, why are you here so late?"

Nie Cang said: "Brother and I will leave tomorrow morning to find an inn in Xiuzhu City. Brother suddenly remembered something that he forgot to explain, so he wrote it down and asked me to give it to you." He handed Songyi a Sheets of paper, and then approached Su Qiuguang, pondered for a while, peeled off the charms that Nie Qiu had pasted one by one, squeezed a formula in his hand, and pressed it on Su Qiuguang's heart.

Yun Li leaned closer to the viewing mirror and was shocked: What is this junior brother Nie Qiu doing?

Song Yi hesitated and said, "...Mr. Nie."

Nie Cang rolled those spells into his sleeves: "Madam Su, what's the matter?"

Song Yi handed back the paper: "A girl who was born in a grassy family has never been able to read."

Nie Cang paused and said: "Senior brother said on this paper that wizards can't be said to be [-]% sure, so although senior brother and I hope that Mr. Su will be well, we still have to say something unpleasant to avoid future troubles. Mr. Su's illness is caused by the possession of evil spirits. Although one evil spirit is extinct, there will be no second or third upper body. After half a month, if Mr. Su has not recovered, it can only mean that he has been poisoned again. If you have experienced the evil spirits of evil spirits, there must be evil spirits in your body. At that time, the evil spirits have experience, and we will not be able to use the same method again. The worst case...need to smash the body of the dead to prevent it from turning into a murderous corpse and endangering others."

Song Yi: "Mash...the flesh?!"

Nie Cang: "Yes."

Yun Li suddenly realized.

Nie Cang is a murderer.

In a short period of time, this good model junior, without even blinking an eye, completed all the tasks of "sealing the plague, uncovering the spell to exorcise ghosts, and framing him".Even though that Songyi saw what Nie Cang did, he did it aboveboard, and Songyi absolutely trusted him, so he never thought that his few subtle actions would completely reverse the ending of her husband, and he thought that he had revealed the talisman. This act is one of the steps to save lives.

Why did Nie Cang frame her senior brother?What did he get?Where did you go after losing contact with Nie Qiu?

If there hadn't been such a move, the play of those Siming Xiaoxians should have ended in failure. How could it involve Su Qiuguang and Song Yi who both died of the plague, which disturbed Su Tong's heart?

Even though Yunli and Nie Qiu just met by chance, but it was related to Su Tong, Yunli really wanted to help him find Nie Cang and use a whip to get the bad water out of Nie Cang's stomach.

wow.

Yun Li rubbed his eyes.

wow.

He read it right, the water in the tub splashed out "by itself".

Which desperate ghost dares to come out in the middle of the day?

……

"Impossible, Junior Brother, how could he..." The voice of someone other than Yunli and Mu Zhe actually sounded in the room, "Ne Cang, how could he..."

Wait, the owner of this voice is...

Nie Qiu!

Yun Li quickly retracted the viewing mirror, waved the green light in front of him, and a person described as a beggar appeared.The man hit the water with his hand, he was very sad and shocked, and his hair let out a little bit of madness.Who is this person who is not Nieqiu!Hearing the words he muttered, he should have been here for a long time, at least he saw the things in the second half of the viewing mirror.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Yun Li didn't want to kick him, so he said, "How did you get in?"

After a while, Nie Qiu brushed her hair back, showing a wry smile: "During the rain praying ceremony, brother, you go up to the sky with your sword, and the heavy rain will come after you return. As for me, I only sang prayers on the high platform, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it." The credit is yours, only when I, a wizard with a bad record, played the role of inviting the disciples of the immortal sect. When you were surrounded by bamboo repairers, I went to the street to buy some talisman papers and made a few invisible ones. Charm, when I came back, I saw that you were hugged here, so I followed you in."

God, Nie Qiu was here from the beginning.

Yun Li was so angry that he slipped his tongue: "You..."

After witnessing what his junior brother did, Nie Qiu was still in the mood to say bad things: "Don't worry, little brother, I know that you already have an owner, I didn't watch anything that shouldn't be, I just waited to scare you Jump."

Yun Li suddenly thought of what he had seen and heard just now, and he simply stopped fussing with him, and his voice softened: "At that time... you actually found the cause of Su Qiuguang."

Nie Qiu said wearily: "So what."

"Also, Xiuzhu's rain is actually what you begged for."

"It's just luck today."

The younger brother has always been Nie Qiu's spiritual support, now that the spiritual support has collapsed, Nie Qiu's whole body has also collapsed, and the whole body is surrounded by a sense of despondency.Slowly, his eyes shifted to Yunli's face: "Thank you. Because I invited you here, although the bamboo repairman still dislikes me, he no longer clamors to cut me into pieces. Little Brother...now I should call you 'Xianjun'."
