Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 14 The whole family must be together
"Dangdang..."

In the front yard, Master Xie, who was acting out the grief of losing his son, was startled by a sudden knock on the door.

"It's the inner house gate." The Third Young Master was the father after all, so he calmly told Master Ma, "Go and take a look."

Master Ma responded and went to check with his ring-handled sword. When he heard Ren Yuan's voice, he quickly opened the door.

"Cousin...Second Young Master, what's the matter?" he asked in a low voice.

"Everything is fine." The second young master replied calmly, and then ordered: "Take me to see my father."

"Hey, young master, please come this way." Master Ma responded hurriedly, leading the way while stealing glances at the second young master. It had only been two hours since they last saw him, and his entire temperament had changed.

He looked gentle, elegant, and yet arrogant, without any trace of the rustic attitude he used to have.

"Father." Ren Yuan came in front of Master Xie and bowed deeply and meticulously.

"Okay, okay." With tears in his eyes, Master Xie held Ren Yuan's arm with both hands and looked at him excitedly. This was the only child in his Xie family who had been passed down for three generations, and he finally had a new life!
The third young master was able to remain calm and asked, "What's going on inside?"

"My eldest brother has been buried." Ren Yuan replied, "My grandmother asked me to ask my father to come in. She said she had something to tell him."

"Oh." Master Xie responded, stood up with the help of Ren Yuan, and walked to the corridor to put on his shoes.

At this time, the Third Young Master suddenly asked: "By the way, Second Brother. Your new name is..."

Master Xie also looked at Ren Yuan anxiously. Before tonight, only his father and son and Xie Zhi knew this name, and he had never told Ren Yuan.

If Xie Zhi succeeded in taking over the body, he would be able to answer this question. Otherwise, he would not be able to answer it.

Then Ren Yuan said calmly, "Let my third brother know that I was given the name 'Cheng' by the second master in Beijing."

Master Xie and the Third Young Master looked at each other and were completely relieved. Just based on the elegant tone, the peasant couldn't fake it.

So Master Xie followed Ren Yuan into the inner house. Without any outsiders around, he asked, "Did everything go well tonight?"

"My dear father, I've gotten used to it the first time, so this time the transformation went very smoothly." Ren Yuan replied respectfully.

"That's great." Master Xie nodded and asked, "Can your grandma tell me what she wants from me?"

"You'll know when you go in." Ren Yuan shook his head.

"Hmm." Master Xie did not doubt him. He pushed the door and entered the main house, where he smelled a burnt smell.

He covered his nose and frowned as he looked inside. Suddenly he was shocked to see that the monster had revealed its true form, lying on the ground with its body burnt to a crisp, lifeless.

"This is..." He turned around and looked at Ren Yuan in shock, only to see that Haodaer, who had been lowering his head and looking submissive just now, now had a sharp knife in his hand, revealing his viciousness!
"This is your end!" Ren Yuan didn't waste any words and stabbed with a clean and sharp knife. With a "swish", the sharp blade pierced into Master Xie's back and came out from his chest!

Master Xie's heart was pierced directly, and blood splattered out, leaving a shocking bloodstain on the snow-white wall!
Ren Yuan pushed forward with his free hand, and Master Xie fell into the room like a pile of mud.

A large amount of blood gushed out from under him...

"You got a good deal!" Ren Yuan wiped the blood off the knife on Master Xie's body and put the dagger back into his arms.

Tonight was the first time he had killed someone in his two lifetimes, but he did not feel a trace of panic or discomfort in his heart, only the anger that had been suppressed for so long was burning fiercely.

He calmly closed the door and walked towards the front yard again.

~~
Back to the front yard.

"Third brother, grandma and father want you to go with them." Ren Yuan said to the third young master again.

"What's the matter? We have to call them over one by one." The third young master frowned.

"I don't know. Father just said that he had to discuss this with you, so he asked me to call you in." Ren Yuan replied, "It's a big deal to see his face."

"Oh?" The third young master was frightened and began to wonder what the old witch was going to do next. He subconsciously followed Ren Yuan into the inner house.

When he reached the door of the main house, he clenched the talisman in his sleeve, took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and suddenly frowned and asked, "What's that smell in the room?"

"You'll know when you go in!" Ren Yuan behind him repeated his old trick and drew his sword to stab the third young master in the back!
But the Third Young Master had also taken the Enlightenment Pill, and his reaction speed was much faster than that of an ordinary person. Hearing the sound of breaking wind behind him, he subconsciously dodged sideways without thinking, barely avoiding the fatal blow. However, the short knife still cut through his ribs, leaving a deep wound.

The Third Young Master endured the severe pain and quickly retreated into the house, preparing to fight back with his hands. Even though he lived a life of luxury, he still learned some self-defense magic!

In the blink of an eye, a black shadow fell from the sky and pounced on his face, scratching and biting him madly, directly interrupting the third young master's spell!

The third young master could only raise his hand to grab the civet cat and throw it aside.

But with a "puff" sound, Ren Yuan took the opportunity to stab him in the heart with a knife!
The civet cat adjusted its posture in mid-air, and with a deft bounce of its limbs on the wall, it gracefully leaped back onto Ren Yuan's shoulder. With a look of relief on his face, he looked at the Third Young Master, who was kneeling in a pool of blood and covering his wound with his hands, and said:
"Xie You, you old dog, do you recognize me?!"

"..." The third young master was spitting blood and could no longer speak, but looking at the shock on his face, it was obvious that he had recognized the other party.

It was just that the tabby cats looked too much alike. How could he tell them apart without them speaking? And this tabby cat had been diligently catching mice in his home for three years...

"Yes, I am the right-hand man of the Mountain Goddess Sister, the Master Wenli you mentioned!" The civet cat said proudly, "When you betrayed the Mountain Goddess, you didn't expect this day to come!"

"Stop talking nonsense." At this time, the bird in the cage said, "Xie You has already crushed the summoning talisman, and the monster will be here soon!"

"Meow?!" The civet cat got furious when he heard it.

Ren Yuan also quickly swung his knife to chop off the third young master's head, and checked his palm, and indeed saw a crushed jade talisman.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" The civet cat didn't bother to talk nonsense now, and jumped up and down on his head to urge him.

"Let's go!" Ren Yuan quickly picked up the bird cage and jumped onto the horse that had been prepared.

~~
In the front yard, Master Ma and the servants of the mansion stared blankly at the second young master riding out on his horse. They only heard him shouting in panic, "Run! Grandma has turned into a monster again!"

"Ah?" Everyone was shocked when they heard that. They were all scared out of their wits. What they feared really came true.

So, including Master Ma, everyone followed the second young master and ran towards the village gate crying for their parents.

Tonight, in order to prevent the old lady from turning into a monster, the gate of the manor was not closed and the drawbridge was not raised. Ren Yuan rushed out of the manor first and ran wildly in the opposite direction of the community temple.

Not long after running out, the bird in the cage suddenly turned around, looked at the night sky behind it and said, "The locust swarm is following us!"

Ren Yuan didn't need to look back. When he heard the familiar buzzing sound, he knew it was an endless stream of terrifying blood locusts.

"Run, run, go!" The civet cat hugged Ren Yuan's head tightly and hit the back of his head hard with its tail.

Ren Yuan didn't have time to argue with it. He urged the horse as hard as he could and shouted, "Sister, you have great magical powers. Get out of the cage and kill them!"

"We haven't figured out Wuxiang's technique of creating animals yet. We are just a bird. It's useless if we leave the cage." The bird said apologetically in the cage.

"How do we solve this problem?" Ren Yuan asked.

"Kill the monster or seal him up," the bird replied.

"Oh my god!" Ren Yuan cried out in grief, feeling that he had been scammed. He could only hope that the horse would run away quickly.

However, the flying speed of those blood locusts was much faster than that of ordinary locusts, and they caught up with them in a short while.

The blood locust flying in the front has landed on the horse's butt and is biting it hard with its sharp mouthparts!

The horse felt pain and kicked down on the spot.

Ren Yuan screamed and was thrown off the horse.

The civet cat screamed as it was thrown off Ren Yuan's head.

The bird screamed and rolled over in the cage.
