Chapter 8 Haunted Mansion
At dusk on the day of the appointment, Xu Tianqi brought another junior brother Mu Jin to Shi Xuan's small courtyard, looking a little worried and a little excited.
"Junior Brother Mu, this is Junior Brother Shi Xuanshi, a close disciple of a reclusive elder of our Xu family." About Xu Laodao, the ancestor, the Xu family, except for the core members of the family, just said He became a reclusive elder, and Shi Xuan also told Xu Tianqi that he could call himself by his pseudonym Shi Xuan from now on. Although Xu Tianqi was puzzled, he still did so.
"Hello, Senior Brother Shi." Mu Jin is a tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks like he is loyal and honest.
"Junior Brother Shi, this is Junior Brother Mu Jin, he is my father's fifth disciple, and he has the best friendship with me."
"Haha, Junior Brother Mu, you are so polite." Shi Xuan responded with cupped hands.
Xu Tianqi approached Shi Xuan and whispered: "Junior Brother Shi, is it okay?"
Shi Xuan smiled and said: "Brother Xu, I can only say that I will do what I can." Xu Tianqi took a step back and looked at Shi Xuan. Perhaps Shi Xuan's calm look gave him confidence, and said with a smile: " In this case, let’s set off.”
Shi Xuan got ready in the afternoon. He put all the talismans in his arms and in the secret pockets of his sleeves. Some talismans were prepared in several pieces, while some were unlikely to be used and only one was prepared. They were divided into categories. Put it away to ensure that it can be used as soon as possible. At this time, I thought about it for a while and saw that there was nothing missing. I nodded and went out with Xu Tianqi and Mu Jin.
Along the way, Shi Xuan and Xu Tianqi chatted casually, while Mu Jin rarely spoke and seemed dull. Maybe it was because of this that Xu Tianqi brought him along.
Arriving near the haunted house, he saw five people standing outside the door from a distance, three men and two women. Xu Tianqi's expression changed and he stopped: "Damn it, Yu Qiong is here too."
At this time, the other party also saw this side. One of the girls, who was wearing a red outfit and was as red as a pepper, jumped up and waved to Xu Tianqi. Seeing that he could not avoid it, Xu Tianqi had to signal to Shi Xuan and then walked over.
Among these five people, the most eye-catching one is a tall girl about seventeen or eighteen years old wearing a pink dress. She has phoenix eyes and a delicate nose, and is very beautiful. The other red pepper girl is relatively petite, with big eyes and a raised nose. Young, looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, very lively. The other three men stood a little further away, led by the young man in the middle who was wearing a Confucian shirt. Except that his face was a little paler, he looked much more handsome than Xu Tianqi. The two behind him were both muscular. The middle-aged man looks very fierce based on his aura.
"What a shame, Xu Tianqi. Such an interesting thing is that you didn't ask me and sister Yuqiong to come together." When the girl in red saw Xu Tianqi walking in, she started shouting.
Xu Tianqi quickly handed over his hand and apologized: "Seventh sister, it's my brother's fault. I'm worried that I won't be liked by you girls."
The girl in the pink dress saw that the girl in red was unwilling to give up and wanted to talk, so she hurriedly gave her a hand and answered first: "Brother Xu Shi is still thoughtful, but we are too curious." After saying that, he smiled apologetically. .
Shi Xuan looked at the girl and felt a little dazzled when she smiled. Needless to say, Xu Tianqi said: "Sister Yuqiong, why do you still call me Brother Shi? We have known each other for so long, just call me Tianqi. If you had known it was Sister Yuqiong, you If you're curious about this, I've brought you here a long time ago." As he said this, he leaned over, as if he had never seen a woman before.
Seeing Xu Tianqi approaching, Yu Qiong frowned slightly. She looked around and saw Shi Xuan and Mu Jin standing nearby, so she said to Xu Tianqi, "Brother Tianqi, I wonder who these two are?"
Xu Tianqi suddenly realized that he hadn't introduced him yet, and said hurriedly: "This is Junior Brother Shi Xuanshi, the close disciple of the elder in my sect. This is Junior Brother Mu Jinmu, my father's fifth disciple. He is my companion today."
At this time, three men from a little distance happened to come over. When they heard Xu Tianqi's introduction, the white-faced man among them laughed like a scholar: "Brother Tianqi, this is the 'master' you invited. What a hero." Young man. Come on, let me introduce you. This is my Uncle Jian Cong and this is Uncle Dao Feng. They are both well-known figures in the world. Let’s communicate more, hahaha.”
When Xu Tianqi heard the introduction, his face turned green, and after a long time he said: "It turns out that it was the senior who was killed with swords and swords on the Ganlong Road back then, and the junior lost."
When the girl in red saw Xu Tianqi's reaction, her face turned disgusting, and she said to the scholar: "Xia Wenhui, if you are shameless, let's make a bet among our juniors. Why don't you invite the elders and masters of your family to come! My fifth brother is very observant of the rules. of."
"Miss Jinyi, you can't talk nonsense in front of Miss Yuqiong. I don't know when this rule was established. When I made a bet with Brother Tianqi, I never said that I couldn't invite elders to take charge." Xia Wenhui Very proudly.
"Okay, Seventh Sister, stop talking, Junior Brother Shi, this is Miss Meng Yuqiong, the most outstanding descendant of the Yuhua Sect in this generation, and this is the Seventh Sister Xu Jinyi from the fourth room of our Xu family, but their room is in I moved to Luojing more than 30 years ago and rarely come back, so you haven’t seen me.”
Shi Xuan greeted the two girls with his hands raised, and just as he was about to speak, Xia Wenhui took over again and said: "Hey, Brother Tianqi, why don't you introduce these two young 'heroes' to me? Do you think I don't have enough martial arts skills?" , I can't reach that high." The two fierce middle-aged men behind him glared at Shi Xuan, and Shi Xuan only felt a murderous aura coming towards him. He had killed at least hundreds of people to have such a strong murderous aura.
It's just that Shi Xuan has been practicing Illuminating God for so long, this level of murderous aura has no impact on Shi Xuan at all. Shi Xuan smiled and shook his head, ignoring it. He originally planned to glare back and add some tricks to make the two evil men suffer some hidden losses, but their appearance really didn't suit Shi Xuan's taste. If he was in that mood, he might as well look at Yu. As for the beauty Qiong and the little beauty in brocade, of course, Shi Xuan is not a virgin for ten thousand years. At present, cultivation is the most important thing. As for beauties, just take care of your eyes.
Seeing that Shi Xuan and Mu Jin didn't answer, Meng Yuqiong was afraid that Xu Tianqi would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly smoothed things over and said with a smile: "Since everyone is here, let's go in. Speaking of which, I have never seen a ghost before. I don't know if I can do it this time." ”
The beauty had spoken. Of course there was no problem with Xu Tianqi and Xia Wenhui. Xu Jinyi would definitely go with his fifth brother, and Meng Yuqiong would certainly go with his best friend. Xia Wenhui had no choice but to take his two elders and walk in first.
"Brother Tianqi, those two were really the swordsmen and swordsmen on Ganlong Road back then." Meng Yuqiong asked Xu Tianqi as he walked.
Of course Xu Tianqi knew everything and said it all: "Well, a few years ago, I heard my father mention that a double kill with swords somehow provoked Qu Hanshui, the sword king, one of the Eight Heavenly Kings of the Power and Money Gang, and he was hunted down like a bereavement. He fled to Yangzhou like a dog, and later joined the Xia family. With the help of Xiaoyulou's power, he was able to avoid this fatal disaster. "
Xu Tianqi and Meng Yuqiong were talking in front, and the little girl Xu Jinyi stepped back half a step and looked at Shi Xuan curiously: "Senior Brother Shi, I have been wandering around the clan every day during this period, but why haven't I seen you? I have met Senior Brother Mu Jinmu several times.”
Shi Xuan had no choice but to use the excuse made up by the Xu family: "My master is a reclusive elder who likes peace and quiet. He lives in a small alley in the west of the city. Of course I will live there too."
"Oh, I don't know which elder it is. After I came back, I visited them one by one. Which elder is your master?" Meng Yuqiong also seemed to be interested in this question. The keen senses brought by Shi Xuan's powerful soul cultivation felt that Meng Yuqiong secretly diverted her attention. You must know that after she heard that Shi Xuan was just Xu Tianqi's junior brother, she was not too fond of him. focus on.
Shi Xuan's face straightened and he said, "It's been nearly a year since my master passed away."
After saying this, Shi Xuan felt Meng Yuqiong's eyes slightly falling on him and looked away.
Seeing this, Xu Jinyi stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Shi. By the way, I don't know how far you have practiced martial arts. How do you compare with Third Brother?"
Shi Xuan thought to himself that it was really difficult to compare. In terms of martial arts, he told the truth: "In terms of boxing and kicking, Senior Brother Xu is definitely better." As for the question of realm, he selectively ignored it.
Because the words were vague, they attracted Meng Yuqiong's attention. Shi Xuan's sharp senses sensed that Meng Yuqiong's gaze was slightly projected on him.
Little girl Xu Jinyi didn't seem to hear any ambiguity: "That's right, my fifth brother is a famous young genius in the world."
Shi Xuan was also idle and spoke to the little girl with a smile: "I don't know, sister Jinyi, where have you reached in your martial arts practice now?" Xu Jinyi gave him a hard look when she heard that Shi Xuan was so affectionate just a moment ago, but I asked this question from the bottom of my heart, but I still happily replied: "I have recently been able to break through to the Qi-nourishing stage." He looked very proud, with expressions of praise and admiration on my face.
Of course Shi Xuan followed the good example and said, "Sister Jinyi, you are really awesome, no worse than your fifth brother back then." Xu Jinyi was very happy and started chatting with Shi Xuan. The little girl didn't have much money. During the time she entered the house and arrived in the middle hall, she even said that she admired Liu Suiyun, one of the four martial arts masters. There are masters who hope to enter the subtle realm (the martial arts realm corresponding to the realm of soul leaving the body is the subtle realm. According to Xu Laodao, the soul has grown to the out-of-body realm but has no way to leave the body and is reflected in the body's senses). He is handsome and handsome. With so many talents, why didn't those wise men in the world not list him as one of the five great masters in the world? They were really short-sighted.
Because it was not completely dark yet, when you entered the gate, you could find that the whole house was very atmospheric and did not feel spooky at all. It was not until almost entering the central hall that Shi Xuan felt a keen sense of the spooky smell.
Before entering the central hall, Xu Tianqi quietly walked half a step behind and whispered to Shi Xuan: "The double sword kill was a famous murderer on Ganlong Road in those days. He killed without blinking an eye and was responsible for more than a hundred murders. I remember my ancestors said, People with such evil spirits should be avoided by all ghosts.”
Shi Xuan thought for a moment and said to Xu Tianqi with a smile: "I have my own way to ensure that you have great face in front of your sister Yuqiong." Then Xu Tianqi took a quick step and entered the central hall side by side with Meng Yuqiong and Xu Jinyi.
Shi Xuan and Mu Jin, a tall young man who was so taciturn that he was often ignored, entered later.
