Chapter 394 The Weird Shen Family (Second Update)
Shen Qinan's face was filled with a flattering smile, and he respectfully and flatteringly welcomed the woman in white into the hall. The woman in white walked like a weak willow supporting the wind, with graceful postures and a different kind of charm in her grace, which was in stark contrast to her holy and pure back. Contrast is particularly tempting to people's desires.
Watching them walk into the hall one after another, Meng Qi withdrew his gaze, but still didn't remember who the woman in white was. She didn't seem to be familiar with her and only met her once.
In short, she was quite dangerous, and the Shen family was indeed a bit mysterious... He didn't think much more, and planned to take advantage of the Shen family's experts to sneak into the back garden and look for Miss Shen's family.
There are few stars in the moon tonight, and the silvery light casts a layer of gauze over the bare trees. Meng Qi uses the various buildings in Shen Garden and the rocks in the rockery to wander around in the moonlight. It passed under the eyes of the patrol team several times, but they knew nothing about it.
Not long after, Meng Qi sneaked into the back garden, looking for the missing servant and maid, to find out where Miss Shen's family lived.
After a while, a pretty maid carried a food box through the waterside pavilion and walked towards the depths of the back garden. It seemed that because of the late night, she was worried that evil spirits would suddenly rush out from some dark corner. She seemed quite frightened and her body slightly moved. Trembling, muttering to himself, begging for the blessing of the Taoist Buddha.
At this moment, her eyes suddenly widened, because there was a figure in front of her, wearing a black robe. There seemed to be some weapon hidden in the clothes on the back, and on her face was a "Yuanshi Tianzun" mask that is common in dramas and Taoist temples. .
The maid's mouth was wide and her eyes were frightened. She was about to faint and scream, but a pair of dark and deep eyes suddenly appeared in her pupils.
The waterside pavilion disappeared, the bright moon disappeared, the corridor disappeared, and the mysterious man disappeared. She only saw those deep and addictive eyes. Her panic was relieved and she became warm and practical, as if she had returned to her mother's arms.
"Do you know where Miss Shen lives?" Meng Qi asked in a mellow voice.
The maid said blankly: "Miss Shen? She lives in the Peony Building in the back garden, just turn left in front."
"Very good." Meng Qi approved and prepared to leave.
The maid burst into tears, as if she had finally found someone she could rely on: "Help! Help me! I don't want to be killed!"
"Why did you want to be killed?" Meng Qi paused and frowned slightly.
Could it be that the Shen family, as human traffickers, did not value the lives of their slaves at all and would beat and kill them whenever they wanted?
"I, I don't know, many, many sisters have disappeared without a trace. No, I, I saw it once. I secretly saw Shaoyao being strangled to death and quartered by the young master!" The maid cried, her body shaking even more. Shocked, it turned out that what she had been afraid of was not the evil ghost, but the master of the Shen family.
Is the Shen family so cruel? With a thought in his mind, Meng Qi's momentum changed, like the sky, like the earth. Looking at the vicissitudes of the sea and the dead, he used the method of changing the sky and striking the earth on the maid.
The sea of mind is dim and unclear, and many memory fragments are blurred, which is the state of a normal person. The most profound and unforgettable bits and pieces of the maid's memory are presented in front of Meng Qi's eyes.
Born into a peasant family, he was poor since he was a child, and he helped his parents from an early age...
Entering the city to watch the lanterns, he got separated from his parents and younger brother, and was abducted...
After being beaten and exiled, he finally settled down and entered the Shen family...
The window was half open, and the smell of blood came out. I became timid and fearful, so I decided to take a sneak peek first, and then consider whether I should call the young master for my wife now...
Half of the arm was hanging on the chair, the broken bones were like a carpet, and the complete head was placed on the table. It was peony. The young master turned to himself, his face was covered with blood and fleshy foam, sliding down his face and past the corners of his mouth...
The maid covered her eyes and squatted down, as if the last scene was a nightmare in her heart.
Is the young master of the Shen family a bloodthirsty murderer? Meng Qi had always had a sense of righteous indignation and hated human traffickers. In addition to this brutal incident, he decided to submit a secret report and let Liumen handle it. The Shen family lived in a small town and would definitely not be able to compete.
When you can take advantage of the situation, you have to take advantage of it. There are many mysteries in the Shen family. If you come forward rashly, you will be alone and you may not be able to get a good deal.
The spiritual invasion calmed the maid, and Meng Qi slipped into the garden and sneaked towards the Peony Building.
The cold wind blew by, and the girl came back to her senses. She felt that her soul was calm, and she no longer had the fear and uneasiness she had before.
"Did my prayer just now work? It seems, it seems to be Yuanshi Tianzun..." The maid thought inexplicably, picked up the food box, and walked to the right. She was still muttering to herself, praying for blessings, but she was no longer throwing stones at others, and said All the nine Buddhas and Saint Buddhas were chanting, but they concentrated on Yuanshi Tianzun.
…………
Inside the Peony Building, several copper basins burned with red charcoal, making the whole room warm as spring, in sharp contrast to the cold wind howling outside.
A woman is sitting in front of the dressing table, resting her chin on her hands, with an expression that seems to be smiling but not smiling, as if she is recalling sweet past events.
She doesn't apply makeup, but she is pretty and lovely. Her hair is pulled into a woman's bun, which adds a bit of mature charm. Her clothes are not thick, just like summer clothes, revealing patches of pink and white, which is eye-catching.
Suddenly, something moved in her heart, and she looked at the mirror, only to see a figure reflected in it, wearing a mysterious robe and a mask, majestic and majestic, simple and vicissitudes of life, exceptionally mysterious and terrifying!
"It's best not to scream." Her pupils shrank like needlepoints, and when she was about to call for help, she heard a voice as plain as time.
Feeling the momentum and pressure of the person behind her, recognizing the mask of "Yuanshi Tianzun", and thinking of some rumors, the woman chose to cooperate without calling for help or making any misunderstanding.
"I heard that Second Miss Shen broke the engagement. My sister-in-law is alone and is still a virgin. When I saw her today, I realized that there are many lies in the world. Miss Shen, you are obviously married and deeply in love." "Yuanshi Tianzun" Meng Qi did not ask directly. It's like chatting.
The woman in front of her was Miss Shen Er, Shen Ruoxuan. Her state was very contradictory to Lu Jian's information. At first glance, she looked like a lustful, lazy and contented young woman.
Does she have an adulterer?
As Meng Qi looked around, Shen Ruoxuan said angrily: "Do I need outsiders to nag me about my own affairs? What's wrong with having a lover to relieve my boredom?"
To relieve his boredom... Meng Qi wanted to wipe off a cold sweat: "In that case, why don't you get married? The Jia family has no bad deeds, so why would you rather die than obey? It is said in the world that Miss Shen has a sweetheart who you like, could this lover be him? The one you love?"
"Are you bringing the Jia family to ask? I know they have been grudges against each other for a long time." Shen Ruoxuan snorted coldly, "I had a sweetheart at that time, we were in love with each other, and we were committed to each other life and death, so naturally I looked down on others, but now he has been dead for many years. No matter how much pain you have, you have to get out of it and start a new life.”
She implicitly denied that her current lover was her former sweetheart.
While speaking, Shen Ruoxuan kept biting her lower lip, seeming a little nervous. Meng Qi was keenly aware of this and exclaimed: "I see, Miss Shen, your former sweetheart was Jin Li?"
Although the voice was soft, it was like thunder. Shen Ruoxuan's face changed slightly, a little sweet and a little sad, and she said in surprise: "How do you know?"
"I was entrusted by the Jin family to investigate the cause of his death." Meng Qi replied calmly, and his spirit spread to explore the room.
Things are a little weird.
Shen Ruoxuan's face looked desolate: "He, he died together with my third uncle."
"Perish together?" Meng Qi asked.
Shen Ruoxuan looked at the expressionless "Yuanshi Tianzun" mask, and said with a smile and a cry: "My family did not agree with our marriage. He wanted to elope with me, but my third uncle stopped me, and there was a conflict. There was a big fight, and there was a fight. There was a mistake, both of them died, and I attempted suicide. I sat in this building for three years and only recently came out. "
Shen Ruoxuan's third uncle? Meng Qi frowned slightly. Lu Jian's information was not in it. Could it be that he was a hidden master of the Shen family? Can Jin Li, who can interact with heaven and humans, die together?
Before he asked, Shen Ruoxuan went to herself and said: "The Jin family is quite powerful in the city of God. My father was worried that this matter would cause trouble, so he placed the body in front of the enemy Chen's family at night, planning to find it the next day. The people from Liumen confirmed that the Chen family was the murderer, but the Chen family was also alert and didn't know where they hid the body. "
After saying that, she raised her head and looked at the "Yuanshi Tianzun" in front of her. She only saw the face that was common in dramas, with no sadness, no joy, and no emotional fluctuations.
"It seems that a life-or-death promise is not worth the time. In just over three years, you have almost forgotten Jin Li." She heard the voice of "Yuanshi Tianzun" without discrimination or emotion.
"I have been sitting idle for three years, and I always want to live a happier life in the future. Just treat it as eating and drinking occasionally." Shen Ruoxuan laughed at herself.
Meng Qiping said calmly: "In my opinion, you did not do this accidentally, nor did you do it simply to live a happy life."
"What?" Shen Ruoxuan narrowed her eyes and stared at the mysterious man in front of her.
Meng Qi's voice was calm and mellow: "With your strength and no hidden injuries, why do you need so many charcoal and copper basins?"
At this level of strength, the normal cold can no longer affect a martial artist. A copper plate with burning charcoal is enough. There is no need to put it everywhere, for fear of catching someone cold.
Shen Ruoxuan's face changed drastically and she stood up suddenly: "What do you mean?"
She saw "Yuanshi Tianzun" lightly raise his hand, and strike out with a palm without looking back. The air flow compressed, and the strong wind swept down the screen that separated the inside and outside, revealing the big bed inside.
Lying on the bed was a sleeping baby, about seven or eight months old, with a rosy face and a really cute look.
The surrounding gauze seems to be made of special materials, which obviously weakens and blocks the mental power.
"I, I..." Shen Ruoxuan muttered, "I want to leave him a legacy."
"Really?" Meng Qi was already about 70% sure and crushed the blood beads in his left hand.
A ray of red light flowed through, covering the baby, and his body glowed with a faint red light.
"Sure enough, she is from the Jin family, Miss Shen, you were too blunt just now." Meng Qi couldn't hold back his trembling, and his tone was calm.
The acting skills are not good enough!
How can lovers who are willing to die for each other be forgotten so easily? Even if they leave, it is easier to be accepted by the family by marrying someone than by finding a lover!
Before he finished speaking, a figure suddenly jumped down from the beam. His body spun rapidly, and the power of his palms seemed to turn into a spiral. It was extremely terrifying and set off a tornado wind that enveloped Meng Qi's surroundings and blocked his escape path. .
Half-step exterior scene!
The attacker had high cheekbones and a black mole under his right eyebrow. He was clearly Jin Li!
Facing the surprise attack, Meng Qi seemed to have expected it. He stretched out both hands at the same time, and his fingers kept squirming, forming seals, as if flowers were blooming one after another, showing a calm and solid meaning.
In the eyes of the attacker, "Yuanshi Tianzun" suddenly became vast, thick, and boundless, as if it had transformed into the earth, and was difficult to shake!
