Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 782 Eavesdropping
The moment Old Madam Xiao died, a stone pagoda near the water in the backyard of the Xiao Mansion also collapsed.

As soon as the stone pagoda collapsed, the life-continuing formation set up in the Xiao Mansion suddenly collapsed into fragments, and the dead energy that had been suppressed under the formation and hoarded for countless days and nights roared straight into the sky. , Blinking into an invisible smoke.

Such a change just disturbed the sensitive young child. Li Yunchi, who was reciting the scriptures earnestly, shook his fingertips, raised his head suddenly, and fixedly looked at the distant sky.

Mu Xici, who was vaguely aware of this, frowned slightly when she saw this, and raised her hand to stroke the top of the young boy's hair, her voice was rare and gentle: "What's wrong?"

"Master." Xiao Daotong turned his head in response, and stretched out his fingers in the direction of Xiao's mansion, "There was a lot of dead energy there just now."

"There's a lot of dead energy dissipating there."

"Death?" Master Mu was startled when he heard the words, and then he followed the direction Li Yunchi pointed out and raised his eyes. Sure enough, he saw the death aura that had not yet dissipated in the sky, and his heart suddenly became clearer.

"Thinking about it... this is probably the old master Xiao, he is finally free."

"Liberation?" Xiao Daotong, who heard the word by accident, was confused, "Master, why is it 'liberation' when a person dies?"

"Because... for some people, it would be easier to die than to live without people, ghosts, and burdened with guilt all day long." The little girl bent her eyes and smiled, "But such a People are always just a minority."

"Most people will not suffer such a disaster... Okay, Xiao Yunchi, you can read this scripture later. You can do some errands for the teacher first, and find your teacher's wife later."

"Now that Mrs. Xiao has passed away, it's reasonable for us to go over and mourn him."

*
On the day of Xiao Jue's funeral, the people who came to Xiao's mansion to mourn the old lady Fu almost covered half of the court.

Xiao Miaotong, who was dressed in plain linen, was busy in the front yard with red eyes, her tears had been shed a few days ago.

——She will now look at the guests from various families who come and go wearing white clothes, or carrying joss paper money, and come to offer the last stick of incense to her grandfather, and then look at the old man kneeling before the spirit of the old man, who is over sixty years old but still Guozijian, who was out of breath from crying, wanted to laugh for no reason.

——Look, after her grandfather died, those who rushed to see him off and mourn for him were all outsiders.

But at this moment, her parents and aunt, who should have appeared in front of the grandfather's spirit and dressed him in mourning, have disappeared without a trace.

How ridiculous.

How ridiculous.

Xiao Miaotong held the corner of her lips coldly, looking at everything in front of her, she felt that everything was sad and absurd.

The exhaustion of the past few days has exhausted her patience to the point of exhaustion.

She thought of the day her grandfather passed away, her father who was invited out of Tianxiang Tower by the servants of the family, and was still disheveled when he returned home, her mother who ran back to her natal home with an excuse and has not yet returned, and her reason The aunt who didn't want to see anyone and stayed behind closed doors for seven days...

The suppressed anger in her stomach suddenly rushed up to her throat, burning her throat and making her chest tight.

"Shansi, where's my father?" The girl who had arranged the work at hand suddenly tensed up asked in a deep voice, "Today is the day when my grandfather died, and as the new head of the family, even if he doesn't want to kneel for a long time In front of the grandfather's spirit, he should also come forward to entertain the guests."

"With such a big Xiao mansion, they can't leave all the work in the mansion to me alone, can they?"

"Miss Hui... the master is in the backyard right now, the young master went to look for him just now, but he hasn't come back yet." Shan Si narrowed his eyes, "Miss, do you want this servant to invite him for you again?"

"No need, you can't invite him, I'll go by myself, you entertain the guests here for me, I'll come back as soon as I go." Xiao Miaotong waved her hands, and after speaking, she strode towards the backyard with one end of both hands.

Most of the servants were busy in the front yard, and the backyard was empty for a while.

Xiao Miaotong turned her eyes and caught a glimpse of the collapsed low stone pagoda by the pool, her heart felt blocked for no reason.

The tower collapsed on the day her grandfather died, and I don't know by accident, or it was also grieving for her grandfather's death.

The girl frowned and thought wildly, the Fengzhu Courtyard where her father usually lived was already close in front of her eyes.

She lightly pushed open the half-hidden door, lifted the hem of her skirt, and quietly stepped across the threshold.

She originally planned to run straight into the house after entering the hospital, and dragged her bastard father to the front yard to take charge of the job, but when she was actually admitted to the hospital, she heard the faint voice of her father and her brother coming from the room. During the conversation, she suddenly changed her mind.

——She didn't want to drag her father out like this, she wanted to hear what her father and her good brother were discussing at this time!
Thinking so, Xiao Miaotong carefully put her ears on the window lattice.

The conversation between the two people in the room caught my ears instantly, Xiao Miaotong couldn't help frowning her eyebrows tightly, Xiao Hongze's usual frivolous voice was now a little more dignified and steady, but her father's tone seemed to be lighter than before pick some.

"I said Dad, so many people in the front yard rushed over to see grandpa off, are you really going to show your face and say a few words?" Xiao Hongze looked at the man lying on the couch, not even bothering to move. My old man was helpless, "——Aren't you a bit shameful?"

"There's nothing outrageous about this." Xiao Yuande, who was fiddling with the handle, didn't raise his head, "They came to mourn your grandfather, not you and me."

"Will it matter if I don't show up?"

"Besides, it's not like you don't know what kind of virtue your father and I are." Xiao Yuande said, then threw the bag on the table with his hands, put his hands back and hugged his head, "I have nothing to do with those people. In other words, if that sentence is wrong, it will not only offend the guests, but also make your sister angry."

"That girl's mouth has become more and more poisonous recently - I don't want to be scolded by her again."

"Besides, it's not like she's too busy, so let her be busy first."

"No, do you think you can escape the scolding if you don't go?" Xiao Hongze got a big head when he heard this, and almost rushed up to beat his father on the spot, "She wants to scold you even more because of you, okay?"

——And his father made such a fuss that even he wanted to scold him!

Xiao Hongze muttered with his mouth flattened, and changed the subject after a while with fluttering eyes: "But having said that, Dad, that matter...are you really going to tell my sister?"

Xiao Yuande raised his head when he heard the sound: "Which one?"

"...It's about my grandfather." Xiao Hongze twitched the corners of his lips as he spoke, "Just 14 years ago, you and my aunt discussed the matter of finding someone to renew my grandfather's life."

Xiao Yuande stared blankly after hearing this: "How do you know about this?"

"I heard it with my ears." Xiao Hongze frowned, "I said Dad, I was almost eight years old at the time, and I remembered things long ago, okay? This is obviously because you guys don't remember to avoid people at all during discussions. Excuse me, where did I know that?"

"Wait a minute, don't interrupt me, tell me first, are you going to tell Tongtong about this?"

　I cried so much yesterday that my head hurt and I didn't sleep well.

　　I'm not feeling well today, it's a beast.
