There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 165 The Secret of the Chess Game

She drank the ginger soup in small sips, thinking about how to explain clearly to Chu Xiu what she learned today.At this time, there was a rush from the door, no, it was more like an angry knock on the door.She walked out of the room and looked at the atrium, only to see that Xiuwen and Huangfulu had already gone downstairs to the gate.Chu Xiu also came out of the room, and asked her with his eyes from the door of the opposite room across the atrium if she knew what happened.She shook her head and walked down the stairs too.

"It's rare for someone to come at such a late hour." Chu Xiu said leisurely after following her.

Before Chu Xiu finished speaking, they heard shouts from the front hall. "Tell that Ning Zigui to get out!" Oh, it was actually Ouyang Xia's voice.

"What did you do to her?" Chu Xiu stretched his chin forward and asked her.

"I rescued her from the mouth of the evil spirit beast, and I didn't do anything else." She spread her hands.She didn't bother to pay attention to Ouyang Xia's kind of woman.

Huangfulu's calm and indifferent voice sounded: "Ouyang, don't you think it's very impolite to yell so loudly in other people's homes?"

"What faux pas? That woman almost killed my sister!" It was another man's voice. She heard it before when she went to pick up Ouyang Xia at Qi Xing Mountain. It should be Ouyang Xia's brother.

"As far as I know, the reason why Ouyang is here alive and well is thanks to my junior sister who saved her." Huangfulu's voice was still flat and calm, without any fluctuations.

"She caused me to be seriously injured!" Ouyang Xia screamed.

Her eardrums couldn't stand Ouyang Xia's high-decibel voice, so she walked into the front hall with Chu Xiu, and saw Ouyang Xia and two men supporting her standing at the door, along with Xiuwen and Huangfu Lv. It was Ouyang Xia's eldest brother and second brother she met in Qixing Mountain last year.Seeing her and Chu Xiu coming over, Xiuwen showed an innocent and helpless smile.

"It's so noisy, what are you doing?" Chu Xiu glanced at Ouyang Xia impatiently.

"It's you again! You are the woman who hurt my sister! You are really vicious! You made Xiao Xia unable to get a job before, and now you still want her life?!" Brother Ouyang first rushed up to grab the white indiscriminately. .

"That's because she used spells to attack her client, and she just pissed off that difficult lawyer Yu. What does that have to do with me?" Zigui snorted and said, "I haven't asked Ouyang Xia yet, In the middle of the night, I went to the general's tomb in the back mountain to think about what to do? If she hadn't broken in there without permission, she wouldn't have angered the evil spirit beast guarding there, and almost lost her life." But seeing Ouyang Xia's speech Full of energy, it seems that there is no fear of life.Thinking about it now, the fable "The Farmer and the Snake" I read when I was a child really makes sense. If you kindly save a snake but get bitten by a snake, you shouldn't sympathize with the wicked!
Huangfulu patted her on the shoulder to signal her not to get excited, and said to the three Ouyang brothers and sisters: "There is still a bit of spiritual power left in Ouyang Xia's wound. You should know that if it wasn't for the junior sister who used magic to stop Ouyang Xia from bleeding. , I’m afraid what you saw was her body.”

"With their level, can they detect it?" Chu Xiu smiled contemptuously and said.

"What do you mean?!" Brother Ouyang said angrily.

"Chu Xiu." Huangfu said reproachfully, "Don't provoke them on purpose." Then, he said to Ouyang Xia: "Tell me the purpose of your coming here, otherwise, according to the rules of the village, it is illegal for outsiders to sneak into the general's tomb." I'm going to be put in a water cell—it's really cold, and the temperature in the water cell won't be higher than four degrees."

Huh?Is there still this rule?Zigui looked at Chu Xiu strangely, and then at Xiuwen who was smiling.

Brother Ouyang scratched his neck and asked, "What qualifications do you have to deal with us?!"

"Yes, it is true that villagers cannot use lynching, but the premise is that you can' leave the village to complain. "There was no hint of joking in Huangfulu's calm tone.

Ouyang Xia turned pale, she didn't know whether it was because she was frightened by Huangfu Lv's words or because she was injured, she seemed to want to say something more, but the second brother Ouyang hurriedly stopped her and said: "Xiao Xia, just speak out! A person who understands current affairs For Junjie! How can such a closed village make sense?"

Ouyang Xia shook her voice angrily, and said, "I heard that there are many ghosts in that tomb. As long as you use the power of those ghosts for yourself, you can make your own strength stronger."

Chu Xiu pouted.Another one who daydreams and gets something for nothing.He glanced at Huangfu Lv, the bloody lesson of Huangfu's family was still there.

"And I found out that there are treasures that can improve spiritual power, so I went to have a look." Ouyang Xia raised his chin and said.

Huangfulu had a cold face, and even Zigui, who was two steps away from him, could clearly feel the chill emanating from him that was colder than the South Pole.

"Depending on your ability, you may not be able to enter that tomb after 100 years of practice." Chu Xiu sneered.

"You...!" Ouyang Xia was about to explode, Huangfu Lv stepped forward and looked at her coldly, and said, "Release those souls immediately, or the Ouyang family will soon be in great trouble."

"Bah! Do you think I will listen to what you say?" Ouyang Xia spat.

"It's better for you to listen to him." At this time, another man in white came outside the door.

"Ah." Zigui looked at the man in surprise, why did Hei Wuchang come here?

Hei Wuchang nodded politely to them and walked into the front hall. When passing by Ouyang Xia, he tapped her bracelet lightly with his finger, and the bracelet shattered like a knocked porcelain vase. , Several shadowy figures flew out of Ouyang Xia's bracelet, and disappeared in Heiwuchang's palm.

"What are you?!" Ouyang Xia yelled again probably seeing that her hard work was wasted like this.

"Because it hasn't caused any bad effects, so I only cut off your three years of Yangshou as punishment." Hei Wuchang finished speaking to Ouyang Xia, regardless of whether she could understand his words, nodded to Zigui and disappeared.

"You woman is in league with evildoers!" Ouyang Xia pointed at Zigui's face and shouted, "Huangfulu, as a sorcerer, you actually collaborate with evildoers! Shameless! Brother, hurry up, deal with them!"

Huangfulu glanced coldly, and said: "If you really want to do it, just try it, I'm happy to accompany you."

She was afraid that senior brother Xiuwen's house would be demolished.Zi Gui made a grimace secretly. Unexpectedly, the three brothers and sisters surnamed Ouyang couldn't even distinguish between a demon and a ghost, and they actually regarded Hei Wuchang, a big figure in the ghost world, as a monster. The future of Ouyang's family is worrisome!

Unfortunately, the wicked have no guts.The Ouyang brothers and sisters left in a hurry after saying "We will report you to the elders of the association".

"It's so boring." Chu Xiu sneered, "Are these three brothers and sisters here to play a farce?" To be scared away by Huangfu Lv's look?

Huangfulu shook his head and said, "Go back and rest early."

"Wait a minute." Chu Xiu stopped him, "It's already started anyway, why don't you tell me the purpose of your coming here?"

"Yes, yes!" Xiuwen echoed from the side, "Ah Lu, you didn't tell me what you came here for. If you tell me, I can help you!"

Huangfu Lu looked at Xiuwen, then looked at Chu Xiu and Zigui, and said, "Actually, my coming here has something to do with my junior sister."

"Is it related to me?" Zigui asked strangely, "What's the matter?"

"I believe you should have discovered, junior sister, that this place is different from when you came here before." Huangfulu looked at her and said.

She and Chu Xiu looked at each other and nodded.

"Investigating the changes here is the purpose of my coming here." Huangfulu's gaze drifted to an unknown distance.

"Not only that?" Chu Xiu crossed his arms and asked.

A trace of surprise flew through Huangfulu's expressionless eyes, and he said: "Indeed, I also know that there is a magic weapon in the general's tomb that can improve my spiritual power. Although I don't know where the news came from, it has already Some warlocks like Ouyang Xia are planning to come here. If they rashly break into the tomb of the general's tomb—"

"The barrier protecting the tomb will be cut into meat for making dumplings, right?" Chu Xiu said with a half-smile, "So you want to come here to find out this matter and stop those stupid guys?" In fact, as long as If that kind of person kicks the iron board, they will naturally retreat. Since they don't care about their own lives, why does Huangfu Lv bother to think about them?

"There is a part of the reason." Huangfu Lv did not deny it.

"The other part of the reason, please tell me." Chu Xiu didn't intend to be fooled by Huangfu Lv.

Huangfulu was silent for a long time before he said, "I'm here to find the real general's tomb—that is, the place where General Zining's body is buried."

Zigui's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked, "Why are you looking for a corpse? General Zining was divided into pieces by five horses. Where can I find a complete one? Besides, after so many years, even if there is one, it's just a skeleton. It's all over the herbarium."

"No..." Huangfu Lv shook his head slowly, "I know, it's not just the remains of an ancient person, at least not to me..."

Zigui looked at Chu Xiu, did Huangfu Lv know something?She looked at the serious Huangfu Lv, and then at the thoughtful Chu Xiu, wringing her hands uneasily.

Seeing that the atmosphere became heavy, Xiuwen said with a smile: "Don't do this! You have to sleep even if you have something to do. Why don't we have a good rest for a night and talk about it tomorrow?"

Huangfulu was silent for a while, and said, "That's fine."

Chu Xiu folded his arms, half-closed his eyes, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't make it clear."

Zigui kicked Chu Xiu's calf, glanced at him, and said, "Why can't you sleep? Get a good night's sleep while you don't know anything!"

Chu Xiu didn't speak, but finally nodded.Everything will be discussed tomorrow.

Zigui stretched his waist.Last night before going to bed, I was tossed by Ouyang Xia's voice, I couldn't stand it, but fortunately they were driven back, otherwise Ouyang Xia and his brother and sister would continue to quarrel here, and the whole village would not have to sleep.She pushed open the window, and the weather seemed to be clearing up, and she could see the golden sunlight peeking through the clouds and the crystal-clear blue sky.The misty air in the morning was exceptionally clear, and she took a deep breath.By the way, I don't know if Senior Brother Xiuwen and the others got up, Senior Brother Huangfu said in detail why he came here today.She hurriedly washed up and went downstairs.The light plum fragrance in the atrium makes people feel refreshed.Hope something good will happen today.She looked at the white plum blossoms and smiled slightly.
