Chapter 8 Haunted House

On the evening of the day they had agreed to meet, Xu Tianqi brought another junior brother Mu Jin to Shi Xuan's small courtyard, looking somewhat worried and somewhat excited.

"Junior brother Mu, this is Junior brother Shi Xuan, the closed disciple of a reclusive elder of our Xu family." As for the matter of the ancestor Xu Laodao, except for the core members of the Xu family, all of them were just called the reclusive elder, and Shi Xuan also told Xu Tianqi that he could call him by his pseudonym Shi Xuan in the future. Although Xu Tianqi was puzzled, he still did it.

"Hello, Senior Brother Shi." Mu Jin was tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked honest and loyal.

"Junior brother Shi, this is Junior Brother Mu Jin, the fifth disciple of my father, and the best friend of mine."

"Haha, Junior Brother Mu, you are too polite." Shi Xuan responded with a bow.

Xu Tianqi approached Shi Xuan and whispered, "Junior Brother Shi, is it okay?"

Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Junior Brother Xu, I can only say that I will do what I can." Xu Tianqi stepped back and looked at Shi Xuan. Perhaps Shi Xuan's calmness gave him confidence, and he smiled and said, "In that case, let's go."

Shi Xuan made preparations in the afternoon. He put all the talismans in the secret pockets of his arms and sleeves. Some talismans were prepared with several pieces, while some talismans that were unlikely to be used were only prepared with one piece. They were placed in different categories to ensure that they could be used at the first time. At this time, he thought about it for a while and saw that there was nothing missing. He nodded and went out with Xu Tianqi and Mu Jin.

Along the way, Shi Xuan and Xu Tianqi chatted casually, while Mu Jin rarely spoke and looked rather dull. Perhaps that was why Xu Tianqi brought him along.

When they got to the haunted house, they saw five people standing outside the door from a distance, three men and two women. Xu Tianqi's face changed and he stopped: "Damn it, why is Yu Qiong here too?"

At this time, the other party also saw this side. One of the girls, who was dressed in red and as red as a hot pepper, jumped up and waved to Xu Tianqi. Xu Tianqi saw that he could not avoid it, so he had to signal Shi Xuan and then walked over.

Among the five people, the most eye-catching one was a tall girl about seventeen or eighteen years old wearing a lotus-colored dress, with phoenix eyes and a jade nose, and she was very beautiful. The other red hot pepper girl was relatively petite, with big eyes, a perky nose and a small mouth. She looked fourteen or fifteen years old and was very lively. The other three men stood a little further away, led by the young man in the middle who was dressed in a Confucian shirt. Except for his slightly pale face, he looked much more handsome than Xu Tianqi. The two behind him were middle-aged men with strong backs and waists. Judging from their momentum, they were very fierce.

"Xu Tianqi, you are so good. You didn't ask me and Sister Yuqiong to come with you for such an interesting event." The girl in red started to yell at Xu Tianqi when she saw him walk in.

Xu Tianqi quickly bowed his hands and apologized: "Seventh sister, it's my fault. I was worried that ghosts and monsters would not be liked by you girls."

The girl in lotus-colored dress saw that the girl in red was still talking, so she pulled her and answered first: "Xu Shixiong is thoughtful. We are too curious." After saying that, she smiled apologetically.

Shi Xuan felt a little dazzled when he saw the girl's smile, not to mention Xu Tianqi: "Sister Yuqiong, why do you still call me Brother Shi? We have known each other for so long, just call me Tianqi. If I had known that it was Sister Yuqiong who was curious about this, I would have brought you here a long time ago." As he spoke, he moved closer, looking like he had never seen a woman before.

Yu Qiong frowned slightly when Xu Tianqi came up to her. She looked around and saw Shi Xuan and Mu Jin standing next to her. So she said to Xu Tianqi, "Brother Tianqi, who are these two?"

Xu Tianqi suddenly realized that he hadn't introduced them yet, so he said hurriedly, "This is my elder's last disciple, Junior Brother Shi Xuan, and this is my father's fifth disciple, Junior Brother Mu Jin, who is my companion today."

At this time, three men who were a little further away just came over. When they heard Xu Tianqi's introduction, the one with a pale face and a scholar-like look laughed out loud, "Brother Tianqi, these are the 'experts' you invited. They are really heroes born young. Come on, let me introduce them to you. This is my uncle Jiancong and this is uncle Daofeng. They are both famous in the martial arts world. A famous person, let's communicate more, hahaha."

Xu Tianqi's face turned pale when he heard the introduction, and he said after a long time: "It turned out that he was the senior who killed the two swords on the Ganlong Road that year, and the junior failed."

The red-clothed girl saw Xu Tianqi's reaction, her face turned sour, and she said to the scholar: "Xia Wenhui, do you have any shame? We are betting with the younger generation, and you invite your elders and masters to come! My fifth brother is very rule-abiding. "

"Miss Jinyi, you can't talk nonsense in front of Miss Yuqiong. I don't know when this rule was set. When I bet with my brother Tianqi, I never said that I couldn't invite the elders to take charge." Xia Wenhui said very proudly.

"Okay, seventh sister, don't say anymore, Junior Brother Shi, this is Miss Meng Yuqiong, the most outstanding successor of Yuhuamen in this generation, and this is Xu Jinyi, the seventh sister of the fourth room of our Xu family. It's just that their family moved to Luojing more than 30 years ago, and they rarely come back, so you haven't seen them. "

Shi Xuan bowed and greeted the two girls. Just as he was about to speak, Xia Wenhui took over and said, "Hey, brother Tianqi, why don't you introduce these two young 'heroes' to me? Do you think my martial arts skills are not good enough and you are not worthy of them?" The two fierce middle-aged men behind him stared at Shi Xuan. Shi Xuan felt a murderous aura rushing over. He must have killed at least hundreds of people to have such a strong murderous aura.

However, Shi Xuan has been practicing the Zhaoshen Guan method for so long, and this level of murderous aura has no effect on Shi Xuan at all. Shi Xuan smiled and shook his head, ignoring it. He originally planned to stare back and add some small magic to make these two fierce men suffer a little loss, but their looks were really not to Shi Xuan's taste. If he was in that mood, he might as well look at the beautiful Yu Qiong and the beautiful Jinyi. Of course, Shi Xuan is not a virgin for ten thousand years. At present, cultivation is the priority. As for beautiful women, it's enough to feast your eyes.

Seeing that Shi Xuan and Mu Jin did not answer, Meng Yuqiong was afraid that Xu Tianqi would be embarrassed, so she tried to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Since everyone is here, why not go in? To be honest, I have never seen a ghost before, and I don't know if I can do it this time."

The beauty spoke, and Xu Tianqi and Xia Wenhui certainly had no problem. Xu Jinyi would definitely go with his fifth brother, and Meng Yuqiong would of course go with her best friend. Xia Wenhui had to take her two elders and walk in first.

"Brother Tianqi, those two were really the swordsmen who killed each other on the Ganlong Road back then." Meng Yuqiong asked Xu Tianqi as they walked.

Xu Tianqi certainly knew everything and said everything: "Well, a few years ago, I heard my father mention that somehow the sword and sword double-kill offended the sword king Qu Hanshui, one of the eight kings of the power and money gang. He was hunted down and fled to Yangzhou like a stray dog. Later, he joined the Xia family and relied on the power of Xiyu Tower to avoid this disaster."

In front, Xu Tianqi and Meng Yuqiong were talking. The little girl Xu Jinyi took a half step back tactfully and looked at Shi Xuan curiously: "I say, Senior Brother Shi, I have been wandering around the clan every day during this period. Why haven't I seen you? I have met Senior Brother Mu Jinmu several times."

Shi Xuan had to use the excuse made by the Xu family and said: "My master is a secluded elder who likes quietness and lives in a small alley in the west of the city. Of course, I live there too."

"Oh, I don't know which elder it is. After I came back, I met them one by one. Which elder is your master?" The beautiful girl in brocade clothes was very determined to get to the bottom of it. Meng Yuqiong seemed to be somewhat interested in this question. Shi Xuan's sharp senses brought by his powerful soul cultivation could sense that Meng Yuqiong had secretly shifted her attention to him. You know, she had not paid much attention to Shi Xuan after hearing that he was just Xu Tianqi's junior brother.

Shi Xuan's face straightened and he said, "My master has been dead for nearly a year."

After saying this, Shi Xuan felt that Meng Yuqiong's eyes that were slightly on him were retracted.

Xu Jinyi stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Shi. By the way, I don't know what level you have reached in martial arts training. How does it compare with my third brother?"

Shi Xuan thought that it was really difficult to compare. If we only compare martial arts training, to be honest, "In terms of fist and foot skills, Senior Brother Xu is definitely better." As for the realm, he selectively ignored it.

Because this was said vaguely, it attracted Meng Yuqiong's attention. Shi Xuan's sharp senses sensed that Meng Yuqiong's eyes were slightly projected on him again.

The little girl Xu Jinyi didn't seem to hear anything ambiguous: "That's right, my fifth brother is a famous young genius in the world."

Shi Xuan was also idle, and smiled at the little girl: "I wonder what level you have reached in martial arts now, sister Jinyi?" Xu Jinyi rolled her eyes fiercely when she heard Shi Xuan calling her so affectionately after just a short while, but this question touched her heart, and she still answered happily: "I have recently broken through to the stage of nourishing qi." She looked very proud, with an expression of praising me and admiring me on her face.

Shi Xuan of course followed suit: "Sister Jinyi, you are really amazing, not worse than your fifth brother in the past." Xu Jinyi was very happy and started chatting with Shi Xuan. The little girl is not cunning. During the time she entered the house and went to the central hall, she even told people about the white-clothed young master Liu Suiyun, who she admired as one of the four young masters in the martial arts world. She said that Young Master Liu had already achieved great success at a young age and was the most likely master to enter the subtle realm in the future (the martial arts realm corresponding to the soul out-of-body realm is the subtle realm. According to Taoist Xu, it is the soul that has grown to the out-of-body realm but has no way to leave the body and is reflected in the body senses). He is handsome and versatile. Why don't those wise old men in the martial arts world include him in the world's five great masters? They are really short-sighted.

Because it was not completely dark yet, after entering the gate, you can find that the whole house is very grand and not gloomy at all. It was not until you were about to enter the central hall that Shi Xuan keenly felt a bit of gloomy.

Before entering the central hall, Xu Tianqi quietly stepped back half a step and whispered to Shi Xuan: "The sword and sword double killer was a famous thug on the Ganlong Road back then. He killed people without blinking an eye and had more than a hundred murders on his back. I remember our ancestors said that ghosts would avoid such evil people."

Shi Xuan thought for a while, smiled and said to Xu Tianqi: "I have my own way to ensure that you have great face in front of your sister Yuqiong." Then Xu Tianqi took a quick step and entered the central hall side by side with Meng Yuqiong and Xu Jinyi.

And Shi Xuan followed Mu Jin, a tall and taciturn boy who was often ignored.
