Chapter 52 The world is hot and cold, the world is real
"Sailboat!!"
The old man raised his voice and moved his breasts.
The mountain ghost is still kneeling on top of the big stone statue, and the Yin God is also standing on the big stone statue.
Jiang Chaoge looked at the mountain ghost quietly.
What is certain is that the main reason why mountain ghosts appear on large stone statues should be to 'forage'.
If his guess is correct, the red leopard and civet cat are the legendary "mountain spirits".
As for the black shadows with hair on their heads, he guessed they might be wandering spirits or something like that.
Wandering ghosts are remnant souls. They are not complete ghosts and can only travel around the world based on their instincts.
"These wandering souls gathered in the big stone statues, and then attracted the mountain ghosts to look for food, so there was a legend that the mountain ghosts came to the big stone statues to seek their lives. However, the old Taoist did not take action against the mountain ghosts, which shows that the old Taoist did not come for the mountain ghosts.
It’s also for the big stone statue.”
Jiang Chaoge sorted out his thoughts and found that the root of all this was obviously the big stone statue.
As for the legend of mountain ghosts seeking their lives...from the current point of view, it should be spread by humans.
The purpose should be to prevent people from getting close to the big stone statue, and they may even be killed by mountain ghosts... In fact, they were all killed by people!
"Sometimes, people are scarier than ghosts!"
"This big stone statue can attract so many wandering souls, and there is also a Taoist Yin God. There must be some kind of terrible secret hidden in it. Maybe it is some kind of treasure? Or maybe it is a method of cultivating immortals?"
"I just don't know if this secret is related to the killing god Bai Qi?"
Jiang Chaoge didn't think about it anymore, because the boat had already left the big stone statue, and he was going to wait until it returned to see if there was a chance to take a look at the big stone statue.
Whether it's treasures or the method of cultivating immortals, he wants them all!
As for the women on the boat...
He could only say that he could obviously get two taels of silver, but because he was too greedy, he got nothing.
…
One day later.
Lingyang County, Lexin Marquis Mansion.
Although Jiang Erlang set off a little later, he arrived earlier because he didn't stop along the way.
After all, the horses in the Night Detective Division had grass to eat every day and ran extremely fast.
Liang Ping'an jumped down from the carriage at the back and looked at Jiang Erlang and Ji Ruxue who were getting out of the carriage in front, with complicated expressions on their faces.
"How did the boss do it? It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable!"
"Cousin, help me quickly!" Liang Waner stood on the carriage.
"Wan'er, do you know what case Miss Ji and the boss are going to discuss?" Liang Ping'an stretched out his hand, supported Liang Wan'er, and helped Liang Wan'er out of the carriage.
Liang Wan'er pouted with an unhappy look on her face: "I don't know, anyway, Sister Ji has changed since she met that vulgar martial artist!"
"changed?"
"Yes, Sister Ji also said that Wu Fu is very powerful!"
"????" Liang Pingan.
Is there such a strange thing?
…
The entrance of Lexinhou Mansion.
The housekeeper has already come to welcome you.
"Miss Ji, Mr. Liang, Miss Wan'er... Huh? Who is this?"
"The Night Reconnaissance Department's new Bronze Banner, Jiang Erlang." Ji Ruxue replied.
"It turns out it's Jiang Tongqi. He didn't send out any wedding invitations, but Jiang Tongqi came by himself. Please forgive us for our poor hospitality at the Lexin Marquis Mansion." The butler who greeted the door said with a smile.
This yin and yang face can be regarded as fat and annoying... Jiang Chaoge is not surprised by the attitude of the housekeeper of Xinglehou Mansion.
After all, a Bongqi from the Night Detective Division could not get into the eyes of a big family like the Lexin Marquis Mansion.
What's more, he is here to handle a case. It is normal for people to be wary of you and not want to see you.
However, the housekeeper's attitude towards Ji Ruxue was extremely respectful, even though Ji Ruxue also did not receive the wedding invitation.
"Since Miss Ji is here, please come to the guests' table in the inner hall and take a seat!" The housekeeper immediately made arrangements.
"Where is the Third Young Master at this time?" Ji Ruxue seemed to ask casually.
"Miss Ji knows that the third young master has not been in good health and is currently resting in the inner hall... However, the Marquis has learned that Miss Ji has arrived and is on his way."
"Master Hou is still too polite."
"Miss Ji has a distinguished status, and the Hou Mansion dare not neglect her, please!"
"please!"
So, a group of people followed the housekeeper into the Hou Mansion.
At this time, there was still some time before the wedding ceremony, but the seats had been arranged in advance.
There are many servants and maids in the entire Hou Mansion, and they come and go.
Jiang Chaoge naturally didn't receive good treatment and was assigned a position in the corner of the courtyard.
Liang Ping'an and Liang Wan'er were better off and were arranged in the courtyard. However, seeing Jiang Chaoge feeling "poor" by himself, the two came to share the table.
"That's too much! How can you say that the boss is also the Bronze Flag of the Night Detective Department, so he should be treated like this? Boss, don't be angry, I, Liang Pingan, will accompany you to the table!" Liang Pingan said angrily.
"Martial men, aren't they all like this?" Liang Waner blinked.
Jiang Chaoge replied: "Isn't the Liang family a big tree in the court? Why are you two treated like this? Can't you enter the inner hall?"
"The foundation of Liang Mansion is in the capital, Lingyang County... so my second uncle still has some real power. He can enter the inner hall. Wan'er and I are just juniors, so we can only sit in the courtyard." Liang Ping'an.
explained.
"Where's Miss Ji?" Jiang Chaoge asked again.
"Sister Ji is naturally different from us. She is the youngest great chess player in the Qin Dynasty, and she is not a martial artist." The answer was Liang Waner.
"..."
Just because he is a great chess player?
Jiang Chaoge has actually always been a little curious in his heart.
Why do people from the Night Detective Department, the Liang Mansion, and even the Lexin Marquis Mansion call Ji Ruxue 'Miss Ji' instead of her 'position'?
Just as he was thinking about it, an idea came to him.
The anchovy has arrived!
…
Lexinhou Mansion, the main gate.
Jiang Yuer and Liu Hongyi arrived at the door together.
Naturally, the receptionist was the obnoxious butler of the Hou Mansion who was fat and big-eared.
However, after receiving the wedding invitations from Liu Hongyi and Jiang Yuer, the arrogant expression on the butler's face suddenly changed into a respectful smile.
"It turns out to be Mr. Jiang!"
He immediately saluted Jiang Yu'er and said, "Master Jiang, please stay here for a moment. You are the distinguished guest invited by the third master to watch the ceremony. The master has specially told me that if you come, he will come to greet you personally."
Come and greet me in person?
Jiang Chaoge was stunned for a moment. Didn't he say that the third young master was resting in the inner hall at this time?
what's the situation?
"Are you going to nag the Third Young Master?" Jiang Chaoge asked tentatively.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Young Master Jiang became famous with his poem. Who knows about it now in Lingyang County? The Third Young Master respects Young Master Jiang's talent very much and will definitely go out to welcome him in person."
The housekeeper said it, as if he was afraid that Jiang Chaoge wouldn't believe it, so he started reciting it directly.
"There is a beautiful woman here. You will never forget her when you see her."
"Not seeing you for a day makes me miss you like crazy."
"The phoenix is soaring, and the phoenix is begging for it from all over the world."
"It's a pity that the beauty is not on the east wall."
After reciting, the steward's attitude became more and more respectful: "Young master, this poem is really wonderful. However, when it was recited, there was no title for this poem. Therefore, the third master specially invited him to come and ask for advice in person!"
Is this the difference between a scholar and a warrior? Jiang Chaoge looked at the housekeeper in front of him again. Although he was still fat and big-eared, he felt very kind to him.
And then, he heard a burst of whispers from not far away.
"Sister, look, that seems to be Mr. Jiang Yuer, Mr. Jiang!"
"Really? Wow, I didn't expect that Mr. Jiang is not only amazing at poetry, but also so young and handsome."
"I heard that the Third Young Master personally sent the wedding invitation to Mr. Jiang. It seems that he wants to welcome him in person. This Mr. Jiang is really awesome."
"Sister, why is your face red?"
"..."
Jiang Chaoge didn't expect that my fish would be so popular.
However, he, Jiang, is not interested in women.
Just thinking about it...
He received the thoughts from Erlang.
Because, a little maid ran up to Liang Wan'er's ear and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Then, Liang Wan'er stood up: "Is it true? That Young Master Jiang really came to the Hou Mansion? Cousin, are you friends with that Young Master Jiang?"
"Well, he even saved my life." Liang Ping'an told the truth.
"Then you should repay the favor!"
"repay?"
"Yes, why don't you repay the favor of saving your life? Cousin, don't sit here anymore, come with me to repay the favor!" Liang Wan'er said, then she picked up Liang Ping'an and ran toward the door of the Hou Mansion.
"???"
It was also a life-saving grace. Jiang Chaoge clearly remembered that when he first visited the Liang Mansion, Liang Wan'er never even showed his face.
Treat them differently, right?
(The new week is coming soon, I would like to ask for some recommendation votes, monthly votes, rewards, just to show off my appearance, and warm my heart! All handsome guys and beauties, please!)
