Chapter 160
Gu Guoshi frowned and said, "Come in."
"Yes." Yu Ning held the sword behind him, and answered, followed Gu Guoshi and the others back to the Zhou Mansion.Gu worms are bred in containers, most of them do not see the sun, and all things have spirits, so their aura tends to be feminine, and the auras of the two magical artifacts on Yu Ning, the Lightning Strike Wood and the Sapphire Seal, are all from the hardest to the fiercest. Yang, which happens to be incompatible with Gu worms, has such a miraculous effect.
Elder Zhou Ge hasn't noticed what happened yet, but he also found some clues from the expressions of Gu Guoshi and Yu Ning.He didn't ask too many questions, he led Gu Guoshi and Yu Ning all the way to the main hall, and after the door was closed, he asked: "Nephew Yu Xian, what happened just now?"
"Just now after I went out to eat, I found Gu worms on the carriage. I knew there was a ghost, so I went back the same way to find the master. Sure enough, someone put Gu worms on the carriage of the master." Yu Ning thought Looking thoughtfully at Elder Zhou Ge: "Someone wants to join you from the ten clans. Since my master and I are able to come, we are naturally counted in the ten clans."
Elder Zhou Ge had a serious expression on his face, he was about to say something, but Gu Guoshi said, "Excuse me, Ah Yu, go change clothes with me."
"National teacher, please." Zhou Ge nodded his head, and immediately pointed to someone who took Yu Ning and Gu Guoshi to an ear room not far away.
As soon as Gu Guoshi entered the room, he asked people to close the door, even Fu Rong and Mo Lan were shut out. Gu Guoshi said: "Sit down and stretch out your hands."
Yu Ning was full of doubts, but obediently complied.Gu Guoshi took Yu Ning's wrist to take his pulse for a while, pondered for a while, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he took out a jade slip that was only as wide as a finger from his sleeve. The jade slip was as long as a palm. There was an unidentifiable strange beast carved on the head, Gu Guoshi said: "Restrain your jade seal."
Before Yu Ning could react, Gu Guoshi stuffed the jade slip into his hand. In the next second, a majestic aura burst out from the jade slip, invading Yu Ning's body like nine-day ice. He couldn't help shivering, and the next second the aura of the green jade seal on his body was aroused, opposing the aura of the jade slip.
Only then did Yu Ning remember Gu Guoshi's words just now, and quickly stretched out his hand to hold Yuxi. Yuxi was appeased by the master, and his aura suddenly weakened. The chill slowly entered his head, and Yu Ning was like a water bag. It is like being slowly poured into cold water.After a while, Yu Ning felt that his whole body was filled with a strange cold aura, but the uncomfortable feeling subsided, and he even had the icy feeling of drinking a bottle of iced drink in the hot summer.
But what's amazing is that it's winter now, such a cool feeling doesn't make him feel cold, instead he can't feel the natural temperature of the outside world at all, he can only feel the slightly cool feeling.
Seeing this, Gu Guoshi nodded, reached out and took the jade slip from his hand, and put it back in his sleeve.
"It's okay." Gu Guoshi reached out and patted Yu Ning's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Don't take such risks next time."
Seeing the relieved expression on his face, Yu Ning couldn't help being moved, pulled his sleeve and said, "Master, didn't I come to you as soon as I found out? Is there anything safer than being by your side?"
Gu Guoshi couldn't help but nodded his forehead, and said with a smile: "You are still smart."
"Is that jade slip just now the master's magic weapon?" Yu Ning was moved, and he was left with curiosity. To be honest, it was the first time he saw the jade slip. After experiencing its power, he thought back to Gu Guoshi. Standing under the scorching sun for a long time, the whole body is refreshing and transparent, and most of them only wear two or three thin clothes in the deep nine winters, presumably it is the power of the aura of this jade slip.
Yu Ning couldn't help feeling a little envious, "No wonder you are not afraid of heat."
Who is Gu Guoshi, you can see Yu Ning's careful thinking at a glance: "Take good care of the green jade seal on your body, and it will have such effects in the future."
"Really?!" When Yu Ning heard it, he was overjoyed. He took out the sapphire seal from his sleeve and held it in his palm for a closer look. out of these functions.
"Can I still lie to you?" Gu Guoshi became angry when he saw his unbelievable appearance, and poked Yuning's forehead with his fingertips, which almost made him red. Then he called Fu Rong and Mo Lan in, The two of them changed into an outer shirt meaningfully, and then went to the main hall again.
At this time, Elder Zhou Ge was talking with a steward-like person in the hall, his brows were furrowed and his hands trembled slightly.Seeing Gu Guoshi and Yu Ning coming back, he stood up and said: "Guoshi, you are right, there is something wrong with the ancestral graves of the old man's family... This is Liu Guanshi, just now the old man sent someone to investigate, just happened to meet Go up to Guanshi Liu who came to report this matter."
"Hmm." When Gu Guoshi came in front of outsiders, he always looked calm and unpredictable: "If my guess is correct, I am afraid that all the ancestral graves in Ge's hometown have been dug up? The bones are missing. gone?"
"Exactly." Elder Zhou Ge restrained himself to finish this sentence, and said angrily: "I don't know where the thief is so mad, what kind of enmity does he have with this old man, and he refuses to let go of the bones of the ancestors!"
"Since this is the case, it should not be too late." Gu Guoshi said: "Mr. Zhou Ge, you are the chief minister of the dynasty, guarding the capital of the country, and you can't easily leave the city. This matter is just like what I just said. Someone is waiting for you right now. You're in a mess... Ayu, you should go for a walk."
"This..." Elder Zhou Ge hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands to Yu Ning and said, "The old man's wealth and life will all be entrusted to my nephew."
Yu Ning looked at Gu Guoshi, Gu Guoshi nodded, and said: "Ayu, you don't have to go back to the mansion. After leaving the Zhou mansion, go directly to Xiaohe Mountain to look at the ancestral grave for Mr. Ge. You must find the bones of your ancestors. Let the souls return to their place, and don't make them restless... I and Zhou Ge are here to deal with the affairs of the Chang'an mansion, so you can just rest assured."
"Yes, master." Yu Ning responded, and Gu Guoshi waved his hand, signaling him to leave immediately.Although Yu Ning didn't know why Gu Guoshi entrusted him with such an important matter, he still resigned.
Gu Guoshi called Guanshi Wang to come in, and said: "You go with the young master."
"Yes." Guanshi Wang bowed and replied, "My lord, please rest assured."
"Go."
As soon as Steward Wang left, Elder Zhou Ge said anxiously: "National teacher, the matter of the Gu worm... Isn't my child's life not enough? The person behind this is actually joining forces with the Gu seedlings, it is really abominable!"
Gu Guoshi sat down on the right side, and said calmly: "Elder Ge doesn't need to provoke me, as long as elder Ge is still the chief assistant, this seat will naturally keep you safe."
"This old man is not trying to provoke the national teacher." Zhou Ge smiled wryly, and said with mixed feelings: "Although this old man is not a clean and honest man, he still dares to claim that he has been an official for decades. It can be said that I have done my best for the country and the people, but I don’t want to end up like this today... Can the national teacher give me some advice and tell me who is so mad?"
"The old man in the pavilion has to ask Zhu Feixing, I am not good at divination." Gu Guoshi sneered: "In another year, it will be the four-year flood season of the Yellow River. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry will definitely bring up the matter of repairing the dam again.”
"No matter how many things there are, it's useless for you to ask people outside this seat." Gu Guoshi paused and said, "Who did it, I think Mr. Ge knows it well, why bother to ask me?"
Elder Zhou Ge let out a long sigh, cupped his hands and said, "It's the old man who disturbed the peace of the national teacher, so don't blame the national teacher."
Gu Guoshi stood up, walked out slowly, and said, "It's not Mr. Ge who disturbed the peace of this seat, but someone else... Maybe it's because this seat has been quiet for too long, and it's time to move."
"Guo Shi go slowly." Elder Zhou Ge and Gu Guoshi exchanged a look, reaching a tacit understanding without words.He didn't send any more, and ordered people to send Gu Guoshi away, and at the same time, he ordered people to go to the houses of his confidants to summon them, and mobilized forces to find out who was trying to kill him.
Gu Guoshi left the Zhou mansion and told Mo Lan, "Get everyone to move, with the moat as the boundary, all Gu seedlings will die."
If Gu Miao only wanted to seek revenge for Young Master Zhou, then the matter would be over when it was over, and he would not be too lazy to waste his energy on such scum.It's just that everything is relative, if the Gu seedlings still know some things are wrong, and accept it as soon as it is good, it will not lead to the disaster of killing themselves.
Sitting in the car, Gu Guoshi looked at a ferocious dead Gu worm in the corner of the car, with an inexplicable expression on his face.
——This time, innocent people will always die.If Ayu knew about it, he would definitely disagree.
—but so what?Isn't Ah Yu innocent?That bastard would not dare to tell him to kill a chicken, but now someone is going to kill him.
Some gentle smiles appeared on Gu Guoshi's lips, so soft that it almost dripped.Mo Lan sat by her side, her eyebrows lowered and her gaze lowered, she didn't even dare to raise her head.
***
Before Yu Ning left the Zhou Mansion, the housekeeper and Wang Guanshi of the Zhou Mansion chased after him. Wang Guanshi reported: "Young Master, Your Excellency ordered his subordinates to accompany you. Xiaohe Mountain is located outside Chang'an Mansion. You won't be back until tomorrow, young master, please wait a while in the elder's mansion, and the subordinates will ask you to take care of it first."
"Yeah." Yu Ning nodded. "Go ahead, don't worry, I'll wait in the Zhou Mansion."
"Yes." Steward Wang replied, and then went to order to pack his bags.Because Yu Ning is afraid that there are Gu worms on his frame, he will not return to the National Teacher's Mansion for the time being, but the servants of the National Teacher's Mansion can prepare everything and send it over.There are Gu Guoshi's houses around Xiaohe Mountain, and Yuning wants to stay overnight on Xiaohe Mountain, so naturally he will not live in someone else's house. All this needs to be taken care of so that Yuning will not panic when he arrives at Xiaohe Mountain.
The housekeeper of Zhou's house is the son of Zhou's family, also surnamed Zhou.Steward Zhou cupped his hands, the people in the National Teacher's Mansion are not in a hurry, but he is in a hurry!This ancestral grave is a big problem, I wish Yu Ning could fly to Xiaohe Mountain to deal with it immediately.But he also knew that this Mr. Yu was Gu Guoshi's high-achieving apprentice, so naturally he couldn't be neglected, so he had to bear his anxiety and lead Yu Ning to a guest house to rest, and said: "Mr. Yu wait a moment, the eldest son will be here soon."
"Eldest Young Master will also go to Xiaohe Mountain together?" Yu Ning asked.
"It's natural." Before Steward Zhou finished speaking, Zhou Shilang arrived. Zhou Shilang stepped forward and cupped his hands, showing some just-right joy on his face: "I've heard of Mr. Yu's name for a long time, but I didn't expect Mr. Yu to be so famous." He is a master from a national teacher, and indeed a master from a famous teacher."
As Yu Ning's status as a white man, he actually couldn't accept Zhou Shilang's gift, but to be honest, Yu Ning didn't know why he looked down on Zhou Shilang, the eldest son of Zhou, so he also accepted it vaguely: "Your Majesty Zhou, there is no need to be too polite. "
"Mr. Yu, please sit down." Zhou Shilang also learned of a major incident at his ancestral grave on the way, and hurriedly asked: "Don't blame me for being rude, the matter is urgent, I just said it straight, and everything at home has been taken care of." , Mr. Yu, please leave immediately."
Yuning glanced at him, shook his head and said, "My people have already gone to do some sorting, it's not too late."
"I also know that this matter is a bit difficult for others, but Mr. Yu please think of my father's love for the people, and please leave Mr. Yu first even though I am an official." Zhou Shilang said again.
Fu Rong took a step forward when she heard the words, bent her knees, and said expressionlessly: "Master Zhou forgive me, but this servant has something to say."
"Please tell me, girl." Zhou Shilang saw that Yu Ning didn't move his eyebrows and didn't stop him, so he knew that this maid was respectable in front of him on weekdays, so he held back his displeasure and said.
Fu Rong replied: "The young master was assassinated by Gu seedlings as soon as he came out of your residence. If the young master was not smart, he would have been infested by Gu insects. Does Mr. Zhou know about this?"
"I know." Zhou Shilang said: "But, so what? Now that I am here and have a large number of followers, who would dare to secretly harm Mr. Yu?"
Yu Ning glanced at him, thinking that such a shameless person is rare, Mr. Zhou Ge may have put all his thoughts on the country, and the sons he taught are all in a competition - who is more rubbish than anyone else.
Fu Rong's face was frosty, and she said in a cold voice: "Since Mr. Zhou knows about this, he should know that there are hidden dangers in the mansion."
"..." Zhou Shilang was furious: "What do you mean, maidservant? Do I still want to harm Mr. Yu?"
Fu Rong was about to reply, when she saw Yuning raised her hand, she immediately silenced and took a step back.Yu Ning said lightly: "Furong has become a little irritable, don't blame Zhou Shilang."
The implication was that Yu Ning felt that Fu Rong was right and told Zhou Shilang to shut up.
Zhou Shilang may have suffered less humiliation when he grew up so much than today, but his family still asked Yuning, and the national teacher must never offend.Zhou Shilang's face turned livid for a moment, but he quickly recovered his breezy expression, and said, "Since Mr. Yu insists, let's wait a little longer."
"Thank you Zhou Shilang for your understanding." Yu Ning picked up the teacup, but didn't drink it.The so-called serving tea to see off guests means that they are not welcome. Seeing this, Fu Rong took a step forward and said, "Master Zhou is a bit tired, please forgive me, Lord Zhou."
"Then I won't bother Mr. Yu." Zhou Shilang stood up and cupped his hands, but couldn't help but walk away.
Seeing him turn around, Yu Ning put down the teacup, and Fu Rong said in a low voice: "Young master, don't worry about these people who sneak into the camp. Earlier, Mr. Zhou had a shy face and said that he would post a post to entertain you, but Wang Guan didn't take things lightly or seriously. I refused, for such a respectful and conceited person, it would dirty his eyes if he took one more look."
Yuning shook his head and said: "I don't want to pay attention to him because he is arrogant...Furong, guess how many of those corpses in the yard were made by him?"
Fu Rong was startled: "...Young Master?"
Yuning thought for a while, and said: "I just thought about it, if Young Master Zhou is really as vicious as we have seen, then Miao girl is blind or blind to fall in love with him. The life and death Gu was given to the other party? But what if it wasn't? Who did those things?"
"In ancient times... there have been many incidents of extortion. Is there anything wrong in this kind of deep house?" Yu Ning continued, then paused and said, "Forget it, what does it have to do with us."
Fu Rong responded in a low voice, and Yuning suddenly flicked all the teacups off the table with a flick of his sleeve, heard the sound of those cups breaking, and said lightly: "I can't blame the master who likes to throw cups and bowls when he gets angry. Yes, let it out."
***
Half a moment later, Steward Wang left and returned, and reported: "Master, everything is in order."
"Well, let's go." Yu Ning nodded, "By the way, remember to tell Mr. Lan and Mr. Lan that I will not go back today."
Guanshi Wang said: "Young Master, don't worry, just now when the subordinate sent people to go back to pack their bags, they had already informed Mr. and Mr. Lan."
"Well, that's good." Yu Ning responded, and led the people out.At this time, the people in the Zhou Mansion also got the news that Zhou Shilang was waiting for him at the gate, Yu Ning nodded slightly as a greeting, and got into the carriage by himself.
Seeing that he was so contemptuous, Zhou Shilang couldn't help but waved his sleeves, and got into his carriage resentfully.
Xiaohe Mountain is forty or fifty miles outside Chang'an Mansion, and it takes about two and a half hours to walk at the speed of the carriage.Steward Wang handled his affairs very properly. Apart from the necessary luggage, he also sent two other teams of guards to follow him. Some people also rushed to Xiaohe Mountain to have people clean the residence and prepare meals. They even sent people to the post stations on the way After clearing, Yu Ning's journey passed smoothly.
When we arrived at Xiaohe Mountain, there was only a ray of sunset in the sky. Yu Ning fell asleep in the carriage, woke up and took a look at the sky, and knew that it was going to be dark soon, and went up the mountain to see the ancestral graves in the dark. If you can't see it, not only can't see it, but you're courting death.
He ordered people to say hello to Zhou Shilang, and the two teams split up and went to their residences to stay for one night, and they would not go up the mountain until tomorrow morning.
When Zhou Shilang received the news from Yu Ning, he was so angry that he smashed the furnishings in the carriage to pieces, and even his hands were shaking. The accompanying steward Zhou didn't dare to persuade him too much, and only after he finished smashing things did he persuade: "Mr. Young master, what Mr. Yu said is reasonable, the sky is dark, and you can't see anything even if you go up the mountain."
"Of course he's not impatient if it's not his ancestral grave!" Zhou Shilang said angrily, "If he hadn't deliberately procrastinated when he was in the mansion, and he couldn't hurry on the carriage, we should be on the mountain now!"
Butler Zhou dared not say that if they arrived half an hour earlier, they would not be able to go up the mountain.Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries were buried in Xiaohe Mountain, and there was a mass grave at the foot of the mountain on the back side, where the people of Chang'an Mansion set up graves, not to mention it was night, even at this moment he felt a chill in his heart when he looked at it.Besides, this first-class event of moving graves is always set in the first half of the day.He could only persuade: "Young master, don't be angry, most of these Fengshui masters have some eccentricities, it is better for the eldest son to follow Mr. Yu."
"Why should I follow him?!" Zhou Shilang said angrily: "It's just a white body, and dare to be rude to this official! If there is no national teacher as a backer... In the end, the national teacher is just a substitute. It's nothing more than a third-rate person who can serve as a minister!"
Steward Zhou turned pale with shock, looked left and right quickly, and said, "My lord, you can't say this... you can't say it! If you offend Mr. Feng Shui, disaster will come immediately! Not to mention other things, if you call Mr. Yu Knowing what Eldest Young Master said about Master Guoshi, Mr. Yu was annoyed to do something in the ancestral grave, what should I do?!"
"He dares!" Zhou Shilang sneered twice: "My father is the chief minister of the court, what courage does he have to play tricks? If something happens, the national teacher will not be able to protect him!"
"Eldest son, you... Hey!" Zhou Steward saw that he really couldn't persuade him, so he stopped talking, lest Zhou Shilang would get annoyed more and more.Zhou Shilang took a detour and told him to swear a few words, so he figured it out if he couldn't express the anger in his heart.
***
Yuning didn't care what Zhou Shilang was thinking, after the team separated from Zhou's mansion, they made a detour and arrived in front of a mansion after a short walk.Although this Xiaohe Mountain is the burial place of the residents of Chang'an Mansion, it is the first time for him to come back, so it is a bit new.This place is exactly at the opposite angle to Longshan, if you look intently, you can still see a bit of Longshan's aura.
But relatively speaking, this place is already on the edge of the aura of the Longshan Immortal Bureau, and the aura radiation it receives is naturally less.Yu Ning stared intently, and couldn't help but frown. There is an aura on the hillside of Xiaohe Mountain that is so dark that it disturbs the aura of the whole mountain. Once the aura is bad, it is equivalent to a whole The feng shui of the mountain has been ruined—presumably that is the ancestral grave of Zhou Ge's hometown.
Fortunately, this Zhuangzi was at the foot of the mountain, so it was not affected much.
The servants in the village had already known that the young master was coming today, and several stewards led a group of capable servants to wait outside.When Yuning got out of the car, dozens of people saluted together and said, "I've seen the young master!"
"Okay, let's all get up." Yu Ning got out of the car and called for free, but Wang Guanshi was about to lead him in, but Yu Ning stopped and said, "Put out a brazier."
"Yes, young master." Fu Rong responded, and asked someone to bring a brazier, Yu Ning raised her voice, "Let's step over the brazier before entering the door."
Although the followers were confused, they did not dare to disobey Yu Ning's order. Since Yuning, all of them obediently stepped over the brazier before entering the door.Only then did Yuning nodded in satisfaction, and led Steward Wang and the others inside.
This Zhuangzi Yu Ning knew at a glance that it was Gu Guoshi's handwriting. As soon as he entered the door, Yu Ning discovered that there was also a hidden Fengshui bureau here. The original intention of building this Zhuangzi.
Because she was away from home, Fu Rong could not leave Yu Ning's side without permission, so she ordered two purple-clothed maidservants to clean up Yuning's room, Wang Guanshi said: "Master, hot water and meals are ready."
Yu Ning thought about it for a day, and today was a day with worms, and he was also affected by the bad luck of Zhou Ge's old mansion—although the bad luck did not touch him, he was still uncomfortable, so he ordered: "Go and wash for a while. Let's go... Wang Guanshi also ordered all the attendants who went to Zhou Ge's old mansion today to go and clean them."
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Fu Rong laughed softly and said, "Master, the brazier has already been passed, do you still need to prepare grapefruit leaves?"
Yuning thought for a while: "If there is one, I'd better prepare it."
Steward Wang took the order: "This subordinate thanked the young master for the reward on behalf of the others!"
Yu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Since we have mentioned rewards, it seems unreasonable for me not to reward me... You don't need to return those pendants today to me, just wear them, it's good."
Guanshi Wang's expression collapsed when he heard the words, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "This subordinate is disrespectful... the young master originally planned to ask for it back?"
Yuning smiled lightly and said, "Why, can't you? I don't know that this young master is called Zhou Papi?"
Steward Wang was taken aback, and asked, "Who is this... Zhou Papi?"
"A landlord who picks up a penny and spends it in half."
