At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps at the entrance of the courtyard, which did not stop until the door. Zhou Ling looked at it and said to Ye Qing: "The great master is here..."
Before he finished speaking, the clan leader Ye Mengqiu stepped in: "I want to ask about this evil obstacle."
The candlelight was shining quietly in the hall. Ye Qing took a step forward and pointed: "Grandpa, I'm afraid this man is no longer Brother Sheng."
Ye Mengqiu glanced at Ye Sheng and saw that his face and wounds were covered with granules. For some reason, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandpa, I'm wronged, they framed me..." Ye Sheng, who was lying on the ground, screamed at this time.
Ye Qing sneered and stopped talking to him. He stepped forward and held his face. Just a little bit. Ye Sheng couldn't help but open his mouth. Then he picked up the dagger and stirred it. Blood was dripping from his mouth and he couldn't say anything.
.
Ye Mengqiu looked at this brutal scene, but remained unmoved.
Ye Qing waved his hand and asked Zhou Ling to go out. Then he explained everything. The more Ye Mengqiu listened, the more livid his face became.
"...This is a kind of evil spirit that is best at seizing people's bodies, but it must use the seven emotions and six desires as a trigger. After seizing the body, it will do the opposite. The crazier it is, the more powerful it will be..."
"...Thanks to the advance preparations and the establishment of a Dharma Realm, he was unable to escape. My uncle is in the next room. I'm afraid he might think it was the evil son. Please go and persuade him and explain the relationship." Ye Qing said.
: "Also, I need to ask my uncle for instructions on how to deal with it."
"What you said is, I'm going to go and talk to your third uncle." Ye Mengqiu pushed open the coffin lid, looked at Ye Gu's remains in confusion for a while, and then said: "But there is no need to ask your third uncle's opinion.
To grieve him—kill this evil creature as a sacrifice to his mother.”
"There's no need to wait, let's execute her now and deal with it from beginning to end..." Ye Mengqiu took a deep breath and looked over solemnly: "Don't expose this matter. After all, she is your aunt, and you have to consider her reputation.
.”
Ye Qing lowered his head and stepped forward. Ignoring Ye Sheng's screams before his death, he saw a flash of sword light, and the struggling Ye Sheng's head flew out, blood splattering.
There were granulations sprouting from both sides of the neck opening in a different place on the body, as if desperately trying to connect the neck, but after only a moment, the granulations finally stopped growing.
A trace of red mist floated out, turning into a ferocious face in mid-air, but as soon as it reached the air, it made a "magnetic" sound, as if the void had turned into a frying pan, and the red mist dissipated.
"There is nothing to pray for if you are punished by God." Ye Qing sneered when he saw it. As a demon that defies heaven, he can only move under special circumstances and when he obtains a body.
Once exposed to the air, the omnipresent power of heaven will destroy it.
Seeing the red mist dissipate, only two bits of white soul were revealed. They turned around reluctantly and disappeared into the air.
Seeing this, Ye Qing suddenly felt refreshed. Not only was his thoughts clear, he was looking at his luck, but he found that the little bit of gray and black energy he had had disappeared.
"Qing'er, is this evil demon eliminated?" Ye Mengqiu also saw this situation and immediately believed it, and asked.
"Grandpa, don't worry, although this kind of evil spirit is extremely terrifying, it can directly seize the body, or it can possess people's shadows and infiltrate subtly, but once it is selected, it cannot be changed.
"And there are very few of them now, and there is a regional concept. Now that there is one, there will be no other evil cults within a hundred miles. Grandpa can rest assured." Ye Qing smiled slightly and said.
Seeing this expression, as if killing someone was nothing more than a trivial matter, Ye Mengqiu sighed inwardly. He overturned and reconstructed the impression of Ye Qing several times in his mind, and now he was finally convinced: this child is definitely not a thing in the pool.
"You still have such knowledge, no wonder everyone praises Tong Jinshi. I think there is indeed great hope," Ye Mengqiu said with a mixture of joy and sadness on his face.
"No, I am now here with Jinshi. Let's not talk about literary talent. In terms of luck, I may still be three points short of being a Jinshi. I am still six points short of being a Jinshi in the second place." Ye Qing said somewhat gloomily. This was the experience of failure in his previous life.
Ye Mengqiu didn't believe it. There was no reason to tell such a secret casually, but it didn't look like a lie, and there was no need to specifically coax him. At this time, he said smoothly: "It's really difficult to do this. From now until February next year, it won't be too much."
It’s only three months.”
Ye Qing nodded, any savings are indispensable for time, the key to luck is that a rising tide lifts all boats, and even his personality has not completely melted into the pool.
"But as long as you save one or two more terms, there is always hope. This is a long-term solution, why rush for the moment?" Ye Mengqiu said.
"I'm afraid that time will not wait for me." Ye Qing's eyes were a little gloomy, thinking that there was no time left to save, and it was even unknown how much time there was in this world.
Ye Mengqiu didn't mention it anymore after seeing it, and just sighed in his heart.
Ye Qing stood up, walked around on the steps, looked at the night carefully, and suddenly said: "This is not a trivial matter, it is actually some omen - Grandpa, have you heard of the Great Book of Changes?"
Ye Mengqiu was startled and said: "Of course I have heard of the Great Book of Martial Arts. It is the ultimate martial art and the best among all martial arts. The soldiers of the imperial court and famous families all practice this scripture."
"You're right, it's this sutra. I've already obtained a small part of it. I want to use this sutra to train my warriors. I'll start with three groups of bows, footwork, and cavalry. Grandpa, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Ye Mengqiu shuddered: "This is the privilege of a noble family... This matter is not trivial. Do you really want to do this?"
Ye Qing was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "My family has learned the method of distillation, and can earn one million taels of silver in three years. The family of aristocratic family and county magistrate can only do this."
"Although it will be handed over to the government in three years, no one else knows about it, and it cannot be leaked now. If it is dumped in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it will be fought openly and secretly, and there will be no soldiers. I am afraid that it will not be available for three years."
"Three years later, even if we stop doing anything, our family's wealth has exceeded the level where we can be safe. Bandits attacked Zhuangzi before, and I don't know who did it. What if it happens again?" Ye Qing vaguely suspected that it was the Yu family.
He did it, but there is no evidence, but he deliberately said it at this time.
Ye Mengqiu was startled. Although he knew it was Ye Qing's intention, the words really came to his heart.
Not long ago, bandits attacked Yejiazhuang. Although based on the traces, I felt that they were not real bandits, but I didn't know which family they had offended. Regarding Ye Qing's involvement, I had some suspicions that it was the Yu family. However, the Yu family has a huge business, so even if they knew it, what could they do?
How, and there is no evidence yet.
Ye Mengqiu glanced at Ye Qing: "Once this matter is done, there will be no progress or retreat..."
Ye Qing smiled: "I am already Lord Jie Yuang. I have to raise some soldiers. As long as they are not too many, even if they are arrogant, they are not many. There is no need to take it so seriously."
Ye Mengqiu thought for a while and said: "That's right, just practice."
After saying this, he said after a while, "There are evil spirits worshiping me. Maybe there is something wrong with this Feng Shui?"
There was no special expression on Ye Qing's face. He looked into the distance and just smiled and said: "When our ancestors built this Yejiazhuang, they invited Taoist priests to come and see it. Although it was limited to the landscape and the achievements were limited, there would be no problems.
But Grandpa is worried, I can repair some more magic circles, just don’t worry.”
Ye Mengqiu was very satisfied after hearing this. After saying some more, Ye Qing was about to leave. Seeing Ye Mengqiu nodded, Ye Qing walked out with a stumbling step.
Looking at Ye Qing's figure in the distance, Ye Mengqiu seemed happy and sad. It took a long time before he sighed: "The family will get such a talented person, which will be either good or bad. The winner may be able to bring glory to the family, but the loser may be the result of my Ye family's two hundred years of savings."
Flowing eastward, that’s all, it’s God’s will, everything depends on the future.”
Nancang County
In the western suburbs of the county town, there are small bridges and rainbows, continuous pavilions and pavilions, gardens and trees, winding corridors, and quiet paths interspersed in the shade.
In one of the quiet rooms, someone outside the door said loudly: "I have seen my lord, Kou Yu."
As soon as Yu Fan heard this familiar voice, he stood up immediately, thought for a while, then sat back and said slowly: "Is it Mr. Kou? Come in."
"Yes." Mr. Kou responded and came in. He was wearing a robe and looked smart, but his face was pale and a little tired. After he came in, he glanced at Yu Fan briefly, saluted, and said: "My lord, your complexion looks good."
Not bad, I’m relieved.”
"Sit down and talk." Yu Fan smiled lightly: "I don't think you're doing well. Are you tired? There are so many things to do, you can't be tired. Have you used the ginseng tablets I sent over?
?”
Mr. Kou stood up, bowed, and coughed: "I used it, and I feel much better. Lord, how was it going this time?"
"It's not bad. We've done some business. You'll send someone to take over it soon. Zhangjiadian transferred me 10,000 taels of bonus shares as agreed." Yu Fan smiled.
Mr. Kou smiled in surprise: "My lord, if you take action, it will be an immediate success."
Yu Fan shook his head and sighed: "It's just a small fight, just to give me a small bonus because I am a judge."
Mr. Kou silently stared at Yu Fan for a long time and then said: "It's a small bonus, but it's not a lot. Now we don't have a lot of expenses. It's a good thing that many people have left the Relic Pearl Hall. I have contacted the rest one by one, and they are all
It’s available, now it’s arranged in various locations, so it’s no longer a diner.”
"There are a few among them. After a while, they can't be said to be great talents, but they can also serve as small officials. I won't say these things, but you, my lord, are very clear in your mind."
"What you are saying is true, I understand." Yu Fan sipped his tea and said, "Now I only have this Zhuangzi that my mother gave me, and I have no other property. This is also a good thing, the expense is not big."
"You're doing well now, although it's a bit harder, but it's all your own business." After saying this, a smile flashed across Yu Fan's lips, then he suppressed it, and just remained silent.
When Mr. Kou saw it, he said: "My lord, there is news from Yu Mansion again, asking you to go back once."
"Well, I get it." After hearing this, Yu Fan had no expression on his face and waved his hands and said: "If you reply to me, just say that I will go back in the New Year and that I will have the imperial examination in February next year. For the rest of the time, I will
Wen studied his homework and asked for your forgiveness, father."
"Yes" Mr. Kou responded, and suddenly he felt the shadow behind his lord move. He suspected that he was tired and dazzled, so he left and went out, ready to take a good rest.
