Chapter 312 Ringtone in the Middle of the Night, Chasing Souls and Seeking Lives

The old housekeeper looked away.

Although he has been following Cao Yuan for many years and is used to his various quirks.

For example, superstition, the nagging of gods, and the obsession with those Feng Shui theories.

He didn't think any of this was a big deal.

But the way he held the dead man and kissed him made the old housekeeper feel his stomach churn.

Unfortunately, Cao Yuan was still enjoying it.

Thinking of this, the old housekeeper couldn't help but curse in his heart!

At first glance, the "master" looked like a bluff and a deceiver. He talked about absorbing yang and replenishing yin, and talking about bringing order and order to order.

And that Huang Yue, this dead man's head was stolen with great difficulty, but you brought it back intact and lost his life.

Isn't this short-sighted? !

But no matter what, that's what happened. With such a strange and chaotic master, he had to endure it even if he didn't want to.

After all, now he is almost tied to Cao Yuan, knowing almost all his secrets, and he can only die in this Shangshu Mansion.

Sighing, the good housekeeper saw that Cao Yuan had begun to undress and take off his clothes. He really couldn't see what was going to happen next, so he was ready to give up and leave.

But right now.

--Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell!

Two clear bells echoed outside the house.

At that moment, Cao Yuan and the old housekeeper just felt in a trance.

When I came back to my senses, the sound of the bell seemed to be a flash in the pan, like an hallucination!

But the old housekeeper didn't think so.

In an instant, my whole body was tense, and the vital energy in my body was surging crazily. My thoughts came out, and they roamed the entire room roughly and savagely!

And Cao Yuan was also shocked, and his face darkened.

The sound of a bell?

Why did such a strange bell sound suddenly appear in his Shangshu Mansion?

"He Fang Xiaoxiao! Pretend to be a ghost!"

The old housekeeper searched to no avail, so he protected Cao Yuan behind him and shouted in a deep voice!

At the same time, eighteen dark golden beetles flew out of his sleeves and flew around the entire room!

The beetle was like steel, vibrating its wings and buzzing, a sharp cold light flashed from its wings, and the air was chopped into pieces!

squeak——

Just when the two of them were on guard, the door opened.

Under the darkness of night, a familiar figure came into view!

He was in his thirties, dressed in rags, with a big hole in his forehead, revealing his gray head, with a face full of resentment, and he came towards the two of them!

——Isn’t it the long-dead Huang Yue!

At that moment, both Cao Yuan and the old housekeeper were shocked at the same time!

My scalp is numb!

But after all, he was a skilled alchemist. The old housekeeper immediately realized that someone must be pretending to be a ghost!

Eighteen golden beetles rushed away like blades, cutting the "Huang Yue" into pieces in the blink of an eye!

But the strange thing is that as soon as his broken body hit the ground, it turned into smoke and dissipated!

The two of them were stunned at the same time.

Immediately afterwards there was a whirlwind.

It was as if everything had never happened, and the door was tightly closed intact!

Illusion and magical powers!

The old housekeeper came to the conclusion immediately!

It turned out that the moment the bell rang, both he and Cao Yuan fell into a fantasy and saw the dead Huang Yue coming!

"Master, be careful!"

The old man took a deep breath and looked extremely solemn!

Cao Yuan turned pale and held the girl in the box tightly in his hands!

"Are you also afraid?"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded behind the two of them.

The two of them were startled and turned their heads. Unexpectedly, a thin figure was already sitting on the chair behind the desk.

Under the dim light of the lights, he was wearing a black and white opera robe and an angry face, sitting there like a judge with the power of life and death!

At that moment, the old housekeeper and Cao Yuan were shocked!

——Judge!

That name that has become notorious in the court recently!

Now he appeared in front of them!

"Master! Let's go quickly! Your Majesty, my old servant!"

It was too late when the old housekeeper reacted immediately. Eighteen golden beetles turned into eighteen dark red golden lights, tearing the void and killing Yu Chen!

And at this moment, Cao Yuan didn't hesitate. He yelled and called for help and ran away!

But he just turned his head.

boom!

I heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground!

Turn around and take a look!

The eighteen golden beetles shattered into pieces and landed in the room. The old butler, who was a low-level god, even had no time to release the god fetus. His body and head were separated, and his head was moved and smashed on the ground. He died with his eyes open !

And the judge was still sitting upright behind the desk, as if he hadn't done anything.

"I just heard you say that."

The judge's hoarse, unhurried voice sounded, "There is a master who wants to use yang to replenish yin and make up for luck. Such a master must be extraordinary. Did he ever predict that you will die today?"

Where did Cao Yuan have the time to reply to his words? The two sides were fighting, shouting for help!

"Somebody come!"

"Somebody come!"

"There's an assassination!"

"Someone come quickly!"

call--

But the only thing that answered his call was the sound of the cold night wind blowing open the door.

As soon as he looked, he saw the maids, servants, and the dead guards lying on the ground in a mess, breathing calmly and sleeping soundly.

Then, with an unprecedented despair, Cao Yuan's head rose.

"You...what do you want to do?"

"I haven't offended you!"

"You've got the wrong guy!"

"I'm an official appointed by the court! Killing me is a crime that will punish all nine generations of my clan! Do you dare?!"

It's obvious that between life and death, Cao Yu'an has already said something he doesn't care about.

Yu Chen didn't reply to him, but just looked at him like a fool.

Cao Yu'an also understood what he meant.

-I even killed the eldest prince Dong Shenjun, what are you, a minister of the Ministry of Works?

So, under that terrible desire to survive, Cao Yu'an moved his legs that seemed to be filled with lead and ran away!

Swish!

At this moment, he heard the wind being torn apart!

Two fierce and evil ghost soldiers appeared behind him at some point, and with their sickles in hand, the cold light flashed, Cao Yu'an only felt his legs go cold, and fell to the ground like a dog eating shit.

Looking down, he was so pale!

Looking at his own legs, they were broken at the knees.

"Ah!!!"

With a scream, he threw the woman in the box and used both hands to crawl out.

But the two ghost soldiers would never give him a chance. The cold light of the ghost sickle flashed again, and Cao Yu'an's two arms were broken. Blood gushed out like a gurgling spring, dyeing the ground red!

With a horrified howl, the two ghost soldiers dragged him back from the door and threw him under the desk.

"Master Cao, tell me."

The high and mighty judge of ghosts and gods took out a bronze mirror, pointed it at himself, and began to question him.

And Cao Yu'an was like a madman, answering whatever he was asked.

So, those absurd stories in the past just surfaced.

Let's say that Cao Yu'an was extremely superstitious, even to the point of obsession.

This was something Yu Chen knew before.

Later, the old friends, Huang Yue and his sister, came down the mountain to seek refuge.

For the sake of reputation and to repay his gratitude, Cao Yu'an took them in.

His sister Huang Yanshu was quite talented, and Cao Yu'an really wanted to send her to a Taoist temple to practice and establish a good relationship with her.

But for this practice, one naturally has to ask about the birth date and eight characters first.

Huang Yanshu answered truthfully.

But it made Cao Yu'an have a different idea.

Didn't I say before that he has been very superstitious since he passed the imperial examination.

When he first came to the capital to take up his post, he met a master who calculated that Cao Yu'an, as a man, was born on a yin year, yin month, yin day and yin hour, and was born with a lack of yang energy. His eight characters were yin, and such a fate would definitely not go far in the court.

So he needed to find a woman who was born on a yang year, yang month, yang day and yang hour, and whose eight characters matched his, and they could combine with each other to make up for his luck and fate, and rise to prominence from then on.

This kind of criticism was bullshit as soon as he heard it.

But Cao Yu'an, who had always been superstitious, believed it, and took it as a guideline and kept it in mind.

It's just that it's easy to find a woman born in a yang hour, but it's very hard to find a woman born in a yin year, yin month, yin hour, and yin day, and who is compatible with Cao Yu'an's horoscope, so he could only think about it over the years.

But what a coincidence, the disciple of the life-saver is the one he has been looking for for many years!

What to do?

Cao Yu'an of course persuaded Huang Yanshu to marry him.

But she's a young girl, and you're a 40-year-old man who can be her father, who would be willing?

Huang Yanshu refused sternly.

This made Cao Yu'an feel troubled.

On the one hand, he was unwilling to let go of his own method of changing his fate; on the other hand, he was the disciple of his life-saver, and if he used force, he would feel guilty.

What to do?

You can't let yourself be wronged for the sake of conscience, right?

So one night, Cao Yu'an drugged Huang Yanshu and forced them to have sex.

Since then, Huang Yanshu has become a different person, silent and taciturn.

But Cao Yu'an didn't know at the time that she was planning to escape!

- Take advantage of the night, climb over the wall and escape!

But Cao Yu'an, who was still a minister at the time, was not a joke for the guards of the minister's mansion?

A weak woman, also wants to escape?

Her hands and feet were worn out, and just after she climbed over the wall, she saw her brother drinking in a teahouse across the street. She was happy and just wanted to shout.

A strong force behind her pulled her back into the abyss.

Huang Yanshu turned her head and saw Cao Yu'an with a gloomy face.

Later, in order to prevent her from escaping, he cut off her limbs, imprisoned her in a beautiful jar, and accompanied her day and night.

Later, the injury worsened, coupled with the loss of hope, Huang Yanshu's physical condition deteriorated rapidly, and within two years, she was almost dying.

When Cao Yu'an saw this, he immediately invited a sorcery master from a Taoist temple to chop off Huang Yanshu's head at the last moment before her death. After dozens of secret methods, he refined it into a "beauty in the box" to accompany him.

Under this "yin and yang combination", I don't know if it was a coincidence, Cao Yu'an really rose step by step, and even went from being a minister to the throne of Shangshu, with power over one of the six ministries!

It was a pity for Huang Yanshu, who was half dead and hanging on for life, becoming a plaything in the hands of others.
