Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 25
Hua Rulang woke up from the soft couch, the morning star had just disappeared before the sun dyed the scaly white clouds in the sky red.

A seductive fresh fragrance brushed through Huarulang's nose, following the fragrance, what came into view was a mahogany Eight Immortals table that had been wiped clean.When he saw the big bowl of steaming abalone porridge, his stomach began to growl involuntarily.

Hunger had turned him into a little hungry wolf with bright eyes.He swallowed, and stretched out a small paw eager for food uncontrollably, but was tightly grasped by a sudden big hand!

Su Ji behind him shook his head, and Hua Rulang suddenly came to his senses. It might be the first time in his life that he tasted hunger just now.He hastily touched himself, and found that the Good Fortune Jade Document was gone!
The master and apprentice began to think about the same three questions:
"Who took the jade document?"

"This is where?"

"Why are you here?"

Su Ji stretched her waist and walked out of the room, feeling that the sun was so bright that she couldn't keep her eyes open.He took a few steps forward, turned around and looked at the house where he was sleeping just now, his eyes widened in surprise.

A tall attic appeared in front of his eyes.

There are four floors in the attic, and a plaque hangs in the middle.The three big characters "Xuanling Pavilion" on the plaque shine brightly in the sunlight.The gilding paint stains have not dried completely, obviously they have just been replaced.

There are eight stone pillars downstairs, and two giant snakes are carved on each stone pillar.The two snakes coiled and rose in the thunder, lightning and wind, presenting a scene of two snakes crossing the catastrophe.

Su Ji remembered that the "two snakes and coiled pillars" in Yin-Yang Feng Shui had the meaning of reaching heaven.

The two snakes represent one yin and one yang respectively, and the attic supported by these eight pillars represents the intersection of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, and yin and yang.Such attics are usually built in places where dragon veins rest, that is, only princely mansions have such buildings.

Su Ji quickly noticed that on the stone floor in the center of the yard, there was a relief with the pattern of gluttony. It is known that the totem worshiped by Shen Guo is the thunder beast gluttony!
Thinking that this place might be the Prince's Mansion of Shen Kingdom, Su Ji closed his eyes slightly, a kind of unknown fear spread in his heart like a drop of ink.

However, Hua Rulang knew that he was in the prince's mansion, instead of showing fear, he jumped up excitedly and circled around the attic like a child.

like a child?

Su Ji shook his head, he was only a nine-year-old child.Due to his previous witty performance, Su Ji had already forgotten the child's age.Such a smart and lovely child will be taken care of and complimented by many people when he is around King Chali, but he will be regarded as a little follower and a little liar when he is around Su Ji.

Su Ji thought to himself, maybe it's time to let go of his master's airs and treat him better. If something happened to him, how could he be worthy of his dead bro.

"Master! Come here and have a look!"

Huarulang excitedly pointed in the direction of the gate, and saw twelve wooden boxes on the left and right sides of the gate, big ones, small ones, mahogany ones, and ivory ones, all made of precious materials.

Hua Rulang opened a box, opening her small mouth slightly in shock.

"What's in it?" Su Ji asked.

"Jin Bei, so... so many Jin Bei!"

After finishing speaking, Hua Rulang opened a bigger wooden box, and the surprise in his eyes was even stronger.

Su Ji didn't ask any more questions, thinking that anything that could make a young master like Hua Rulang dumbfounded must be of great value.He went up to look at those boxes carefully, and saw that the reliefs on each box were very exquisite, and the patterns were mostly eagles, wolves, leopards, bears and other beasts.

Such wooden boxes are rare in Chaoge.

During the Zhou dynasty, Zengjiao was regarded as the orthodox Taoist sect, so the themes of sculptures were mostly images of gods and figures, while the reliefs of birds and beasts always reminded people of Jiejiao, which was a mixture of fish and dragons.

At this time, an old woman's rambling voice faintly came in from outside the gate:

"...Eunuch Bai, does Xuanling Pavilion Master really stop thinking about it?"

"This is the end of the matter, it's better for the old Chancellor not to force it." A soft and old voice replied.

Su Ji walked over following the sound, and saw three people standing outside the door. From a distance, they were an old man, an old eunuch, and an old woman.

The head and hands exposed from the old eunuch's clothes are more transparent than normal people, and the color of the shadow is lighter than normal people.This is the characteristic of a small number of bigu monks in the Xuanqing realm.According to the records of the Three Thousand Great Dao, at this time, the profound and pure energy in his body should have been integrated into the blood, muscles and bones, and he can pass through walls and escape from the ground, as if nothing was there.

Su Ji looked at the old man again, and saw a faint aura emanating from his eyebrows, which showed that like the girl in white, he was wandering in the Qi refining stage of the second realm of Xuanqing, a realm higher than the old eunuch;
The remaining old woman turned her back to Su Ji, unable to see her cultivation level, she could only hear a threatening and dissatisfied voice saying:

"This is a marriage that Mr. Ying personally promised. I hope the master of the Xuanling Pavilion will not regret it."

It was not the old woman who spoke, but a cat with the face of an old woman, and the old woman holding the cat had the face of a cat.

Su Ji gasped, surprised and suddenly remembered those boxes just now, and then thought about it, Jie Zong would have a practice of exchanging bodies with animals, not only not strange, but very interesting.

He secretly lamented that these cultivators have cultivated to a certain level, and they are becoming less and less human.

Let's take the two who expounded the Tao of immortality as an example. Daoist Taijia is unkempt and doesn't even wear shoes.His female apprentice is icy and unworldly.However, at any rate, the two of Chan Zong are quite human.

Looking at Jie Zong's domineering guy, he was neither human nor ghost before he was promoted to immortality. Regardless of whether he is domineering or not, anyway, running out at night to scare a few people to death is not a problem.

Thinking about it, Su Ji couldn't help laughing out loud.

The human-faced cat moved its ears, and immediately sensed Su Ji's existence, with a look of disgust in its eyes.

The old eunuch also found Su Ji, and suddenly shouted excitedly:

"Master Xuanling Pavilion, you are awake!"

Su Ji was startled, and looked back at the three words "Xuanling Pavilion" on the plaque in the attic. When he rolled his eyes, he knew that the "Master of Xuanling Pavilion" that Eunuch Bai said should refer to himself.

"The Master of Xuanling Pavilion still needs a lot of rest, the old man will take his leave first."

The person who spoke was an old man with yellow eyebrows, his hair and beard were also yellow, and his body was as thin as a bamboo pole. Except for his hair color, he looked like a kind old man, without any animal features.

The old man with yellow eyebrows finished speaking and left.

The cat-faced old woman glared at Su Ji and left.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Su Ji showed a dazed face.

"Oh, what a pity..." Bai Gonggong lowered his head and sighed.

"What's the pity?" Su Ji asked at a loss.

"Of course it's a pity that you withdrew from that marriage!"

The blankness in Su Ji's eyes suddenly turned into shock, and he asked quickly:

"When did I call off someone else's marriage?"

"The master of Xuanling Pavilion is really a noble person who forgets things. You disdain to be Jiang Ying's son-in-law and tore up the marriage certificate on the spot. This is what your wife said!"

"Ma'am? Where do I have..."

Su Ji stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking!

He felt that someone was pulling his clothes, looked down, and saw Hua Rulang was looking at him with a livid face, and a small hand pointed behind him slightly trembling.

Su Ji instantly felt a chill behind his back, and even the hairs on his body stood on end!
He turned his head slowly, and suddenly his eyes lit up.I saw a tall woman with cloudy temples standing under the attic, with a silver bead hairpin stuck obliquely in her head.

The moment the two eyes met, the light in Su Ji's eyes suddenly went into a trance, and he almost fainted.

Although the woman was pretending to be a young woman, Su Ji recognized her at a glance, it was none other than the girl in white who had fought twice before.
