Although Zhang Sengyao's dragon and horse painting is precious, Li Xiuyuan would not marry Qiao's daughter just for a dragon and horse painting.
Because in his opinion, there is a transaction in marriage, not for feelings and fate. This is something Li Xiuyuan cannot accept. Besides, it is just a moral rescue for him to help Qiao Nu return home, and there is no other wrongdoing.
thoughts.
"Don't walk around at night. There are ghosts and ghosts in Qiao's Mansion. Don't be fooled by the ghosts." Li Xiuyuan said.
The two guards were stunned for a moment: "Young Master, are there any ghosts in this Qiao Mansion?"
"Well, I smell a ghost. Although there may not be monsters, there is definitely a ghost. This Mr. Qiao is supposed to be a scholar. The average kid will not approach such people, but when I came to Qiao's house, he
On the contrary, there is a strong smell of ghosts in the Qiao Mansion. It seems that Mr. Qiao is hiding something from us. Daughter Qiao has lost her soul this time. It seems that marrying a ghost is not innocent."
Li Xiuyuan said.
He thought about it carefully and realized that although Mr. Qiao was a little surprised when he saw his daughter come back, he was only surprised that his daughter was sent back by him.
He didn't care about his daughter's unconsciousness and disappearance.
In such a situation, it is obviously not the attitude that a father should have.
Unless, Mr. Qiao already knew that his daughter's soul would be lost, so he was not surprised.
And later on, he mentioned using Zhang Sengyao's dragon-horse picture to request Li Xiuyuan to take action. This gift was indeed a bit heavy.
It was obvious that Mr. Qiao loved the dragon and horse painting very much, and there was a look of satisfaction on his face when he took out the painting.
A man who loves painting just wanted to find his daughter's soul, so he sent the picture of dragon and horse. Even though there was a marriage intention in it, Li Xiuyuan felt that there might be something else hidden in it.
It should be noted that people in this era are seriously patriarchal.
Based on Li Xiuyuan's judgment of Mr. Qiao, the safety of Miss Qiao is probably not worth this picture of a dragon and a horse.
"This Mr. Qiao is a little weird. You need to be careful. You can't completely believe it."
Li Xiuyuan said: "We will stay at Qiao's house for three days. We will do our best and obey fate. It would be best if we can find the soul of Qiao's daughter and come back. It can also be regarded as saving someone's life. If she can't be found, we will leave immediately to avoid another incident.
Why don’t you get involved in some dispute? Well, it’s getting late, so you can go and rest.”
"Young master, I understand. Let's go to bed early." The two guards agreed and left.
After the guards went down to rest, Li Xiuyuan returned to the room, closed the door and got on the bed.
He did not rest immediately, but meditated to regain his strength and energy.
Now he is indeed no longer an ordinary person. He only needs to meditate for one or two hours every day to be energetic throughout the day.
Just when Li Xiuyuan was meditating and resting.
Within Qiao Mansion.
Mr. Qiao returned to the study alone at this moment. He stood with his hands behind his hands in front of a wall in the study, quietly looking at the picture of a dragon and a horse hanging on the wall.
Dragons and horses wander around in the painting, like living creatures.
But Mr. Qiao didn't find it strange, he seemed to be used to it.
Suddenly, the dragon and horse in the picture moved their ears and looked up.
At this time, there was the sound of tiles being moved on the roof of the study room, and a gloomy and strange smile sounded: "Hey, Mr. Qiao, you let a scholar from out of town stay at your house today. Do you want to borrow the scholar's house?"
The scholar came to expel us with strength. The scholar did have some abilities, and his strong blood was a bit scary. The ghosts approaching him were like approaching a furnace. No wonder your daughter was rescued by him. It seems that you are very blessed, Mr. Qiao.
, I met such a noble person.”
Master Qiao couldn't help but darken his face when he heard all these whispers, "I'm also a scholar, and Mr. Li saved my daughter anyway, so there's nothing wrong with me entertaining him. Isn't it?"
Are you afraid of a scholar?"
"We are not afraid, but we don't want to cause trouble. As long as you serve us well for three years, we will leave naturally."
Another teasing voice sounded: "And your daughter must be sent away tonight. This is what you promised. If you break your promise, you should know the consequences."
Mr. Qiao said: "My daughter has been rescued, which means that her life should not be cut off. You should return my daughter's soul. I can increase your offerings for three more years."
"Hey, you think so, your daughter is already ours, it's not up to you to make the decision." The whispering voice continued to sound.
"You must drive away that scholar tomorrow, otherwise we will make your house unpeaceful."
After saying that, pieces of green tiles fell from the roof of the study room and hit the ground. They smashed into pieces with a bang and splashed everywhere. One tile even hit Mr. Qiao on the head.
It hit him directly, causing his head to bleed.
Mr. Qiao covered his head and said angrily: "Don't go too far. It's just a few ghosts. Do you really think I can't deal with you? I have tolerated you for a long time. I will ask a Taoist to drive you away tomorrow."
After saying that, he took off the dragon and horse picture on the wall and protected it on his body.
The tiles that fell from the roof hit the dragon and horse painting, and immediately a dragon and horse were heard neighing, and an extraordinary and handsome dragon and horse rushed out of the painting and turned into a white light and rushed towards the roof.
"It's this dragon horse again. Hey, you are just counting on this dragon horse. If it is gone, you will suffer the consequences."
"Hey, that dragon horse didn't come to chase us today, it ran away."
"It seems that he ran away to where a certain scholar lives. No, this dragon horse seems to have identified the scholar."
"The dragon and horse painted by Zhang Sengyao are very tameable and can make the dragon and horse recognize their master. The scholar is not an ordinary person. Let's hide away for a few days and come back after the scholar leaves."
Several rustling sounds were heard, and then a whistling wind blew across the roof. The sounds on the roof quickly disappeared. No tiles continued to fall in the study, and calmness soon returned.
Mr. Qiao's expression changed slightly at this moment. He looked at Zhang Sengyao's dragon and horse picture again, but saw that the dragon and horse in the picture had disappeared, leaving only an empty picture scroll.
However, at this moment, Li Xiuyuan, who was meditating in the room, suddenly moved his nose and smelled a fishy smell coming in.
"As expected, the ghosts in Qiao's Mansion have come out to cause trouble. It's just right to let all these ghosts come out. Anyway, there is no one around in the middle of the night. It's better to reveal the soul and kill the evil spirit. By the way, I'll ask a question.
The whereabouts of Fan Qiao’s soul.”
His body suddenly trembled slightly, and an invisible purple light shot into the sky from his Tianling Cap.
In the sky above Huaxian County, there was a faint sound of dragons and phoenixes singing together.
Li Xiuyuan's soul left his body and flew to the sky above Qiao Mansion.
But I saw that purple energy was wrapped around his body, and there were vague signs of dragons and phoenixes. He was holding a big knife in his hand. The knife had two sides, both of which were engraved with large blood-red characters. A faint red light appeared. One side said: "人山" and the other side said "人山".
:car weight.
However, after his soul came out of his body, he looked around and found no ghosts in Qiao Mansion.
"The purple energy is soaring to the sky. This scholar at least has the destiny to be a prince or a prime minister. Run quickly, he wants to kill us."
An exclamation rang out, and several gusts of sinister wind quickly shuttled across the rooftops of Huaxian County, escaping as fast as they could.
"No wonder there are no ghosts in Qiao's house. It turns out that these ghosts were alert in advance and ran away on their own."
Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed, his soul moved, and he chased for a while. However, when he chased him near a magnificent temple in the city, he lost the traces of those ghosts. The ability of these ghosts to escape was first-rate.
Running to the right, I couldn't determine their location.
"Are you hiding?"
Although he has the power to kill immortals, his moral skills are not high, and there is no way to find ghosts if they hide.
"Guanyin Temple?"
Li Xiuyuan's spirit glanced at the temple and saw that it was a Guanyin Temple, and a Guanyin was enshrined inside.
"There are ghosts and monsters near the Guanyin Temple, and Guanyin has not yet appeared. There is something strange about this temple. I will come to visit the Guanyin Temple tomorrow."
He felt that he was not in a hurry. His soul was out of body and his body had no one to protect him. It was better to play it safe and go back first.
Immediately, Li Xiuyuan turned around and fell into Qiao Mansion.
But after Li Xiuyuan left, there were three evil winds in the Guanyin Temple, which made him shiver and huddle up.
"Who is this person? It's so scary. It doesn't matter if the soul is protected by purple energy when it leaves the body. Before we enter the Guanyin Temple, we feel that our souls are going to be scattered. If he finds him, we will definitely die."
"You underestimated this scholar. Where did Mr. Qiao find such a powerful guy? I'm afraid we won't be able to enjoy the three years of worship. I'm afraid Miss Qiao's soul will have to be returned."
"Nv Qiao's soul has been sold to Aunt Hua. How can we get Nv Qiao's soul back from Aunt Hua? Although this person is terrible, he will not stay in Hua County for a long time. Let's hide for a while.
Come back after he leaves."
"That's all we have to do."
Several rustling voices were talking among themselves.
Li Xiuyuan scared away those ghosts at this moment, and his spirit returned. However, when he returned to the sky above Qiao Mansion and prepared to let his spirit enter his body, he suddenly found that a very powerful white horse was kneeling before him.
In front of the door, there was a low neighing sound.
"It's the dragon and horse in Zhang Sengyao's painting."
When he saw this scene, his expression immediately changed slightly.
Everything you see during the day comes true at night.
The dragon and horse really jumped out of the painting and came to life like the finishing touch.
"Wait for me in front of the yard?"
Li Xiuyuan's soul fell.
It's very strange that his soul is enveloped in purple energy, protected by dragons and phoenixes, and ghosts and gods are not close. However, when he is next to this dragon and horse, he seems not to be affected. Instead, he raises his head and looks at him with a pair of eyes with some inexplicable intimacy.
.
"This horse is destined for me."
Li Xiuyuan immediately had such an idea in his mind.
