Maoshan female Taoist priest

Chapter 113 Father's Old Acquaintance
Although full of complaints and doubts, Bai Xiaoxi followed that butler Zhang into this magnificent castle.As soon as I entered the door, I was taken aback by the knight armor at the door, looked at it several times in a row, and thought, is this the legendary Knight of the Round Table?
Looking along the way, Bai Xiaoxi has really learned a lot this time. From bronze antiques from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China to those weird oil paintings and sculptures in Europe, they filled every room. Bai Xiaoxi even saw a picture of Shang Laojun's painting, it seems that it was written by everyone, she was so jealous that she almost rushed over.

"Heh, I didn't expect a brute like Xiang Bei to have such a cute daughter."

This voice, as soon as it appeared, made Bai Xiaoxi feel unusually luxurious and imposing, and immediately felt that it was the attitude of a person who is used to high positions.

Bai Xiaoxi turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged woman wearing a brocade cheongsam, standing in front of the window with a smile on her face, with her back to the window looking at herself, it seemed that she was the one who spoke just now.

Butler Zhang bowed slightly, then backed out.

Because the woman's back was always facing the light, Bai Xiaoxi couldn't see her face clearly, but she instinctively felt that she should look good, so she picked her cheeks and asked, "My father said that there seems to be something wrong with you." Let me see if I can help."

The woman laughed softly, walked down from the window sill, walked up to Bai Xiaoxi gracefully and dignifiedly, and said with a smile, "That brat didn't dare to come by himself, so why did you come?"

Bai Xiaoxi finally saw the woman's face clearly, and couldn't help but widen her eyes—what a beautiful person!Why did Dad know such a beautiful, temperamental, and rich woman?Well, it looks like he should be very rich.

Seeing Bai Xiaoxi's expression, the woman couldn't help laughing, bypassed Bai Xiaoxi, sat down on the sofa beside her, and said with a smile, "She looks more like Sister Lian, but with this personality, how can she be so stupid?"

Bai Xiaoxi was taken aback, then turned around and asked her, "Do you know my mother?"

The woman smiled again, but did not answer, but picked up the red wine that was put aside, and shook it gently in her hand.

Bai Xiaoxi pursed her lips, thought for a while, and then asked, "So you are the Qian Finland... aunt my father mentioned?" Since she is a friend of my father's and about the same age, it should be right to be called aunt, right? .

The woman nodded with a light smile, took a sip of the red wine, and said with a smile, "Xiaoxi, you can't call me auntie."

Bai Xiaoxi blinked, "What should it be called?"

Looking at the red wine in his hand, Qian Finn suddenly laughed again, shook his head slowly, and said, "Forget it, let's call you Auntie!"

Bai Xiaoxi blinked again.

Seeing that Bai Xiaoxi really didn't ask any questions, Qian Finn laughed again, shook his head, and said, "It seems that she is really a careless girl, no wonder Xiang Bei asked you to come, because I know that I have nothing to do with a girl like you .”

Bai Xiaoxi pursed her lips, and said to herself, I'm not lacking in thoughtfulness!

Qian Finn said a few words to himself, but he didn't complain about Bai Xiangbei any more. Instead, he stood up from the sofa, walked out of the room, and said to Bai Xiaoxi, "Come with me."

Bai Xiaoxi had no choice but to keep up again, and the two of them walked one after the other for about ten minutes and climbed two flights of stairs. Qian Finnguei stopped and pushed open the somewhat old wooden door in front of him.

Bai Xiaoxi glanced inside, then secretly gasped.It's not because the door is full of antiques and collectibles, but because the piles of antiques and collectibles are surrounded by a large Yin-Yang Bagua formation.

Qian Finn looked back at Bai Xiaoxi, still smiling slightly, and asked, "What can you see?"

Bai Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes, I saw a lot of Yin Qi, it's all over the room."

Qian Finn smiled again, and pointed to the gossip formation, "Aren't you familiar with that formation?"

Bai Xiaoxi was taken aback, and took two steps closer to the door, carefully looked at the gossip formation, and suddenly stared, "Huh?"

Qian Finn smiled, nodded and said, "It seems that he has some skills. When your father made this formation, he said that only those who are really capable can recognize that he did it."

Bai Xiaoxi looked at Qian Finn beside him, and said, "Everyone has a different way of making the formation, and the effect of containing and eliminating the evil qi is also different, so..."

Qian Finn glanced at Bai Xiaoxi, then turned around and wanted to walk into this gloomy room.

"Hey!" Bai Xiaoxi stretched out his hand to stop her.

Qian Finn glanced at her, and said with a smile, "It's okay." Bai Xiaoxi had no choice but to withdraw his hand, scratched his face, and heard Qian Finn who was walking inside say, "He's kind-hearted, how can Xiang Bei educate you?" Such a simple appearance? There are not many people like you in the Bai family, right?"

Bai Xiaoxi was afraid that something might happen to her, so she still followed her, listening to her talk, she always felt that she was very familiar with her family, inside and out, so she asked, "Is Auntie... familiar with our family?"

Qian Finn was silent for a moment, then continued with a smile, "When Sister Lian was still around, we still had contacts."

Bai Xiaoxi didn't answer Bai Xiaoxi's words directly, and Bai Xiaoxi couldn't see the expression on her face just now, so she began to ponder—is it familiar?Still not familiar with it?
In addition to the antiques in the Eight Diagrams Array, there are also some other handicrafts outside. These handicrafts are valuable things that can be seen by a layman. After all, the traces of time on these things cannot be fooled. human.

Bai Xiaoxi saw Qian Finn near a corner cabinet near the window sill, opened the cabinet door, took out a reddish pineapple box from inside, and then closed the cabinet door.

Bai Xiaoxi took a look at the pineapple wooden box, and knew that this wooden box was also a treasure, with a long history.Although she doesn't know anything about antiques and cultural relics, she still knows a little bit about yellow pear wood, because there are a lot of yellow pear wood furniture in her old house.

Holding the wooden box in one hand, Qian Finn smiled at Bai Xiaoxi again, "Let's go."

Bai Xiaoxi had no choice but to follow Qian Finn out of this gloomy room again, and continued to climb upstairs, complaining in his heart as he climbed—is this an ancient castle or an ancient tower, why are there so many floors?

Qian Finn glanced at Bai Xiaoxi who had been silently following behind him, and suddenly smiled, "Xiaoxi, why didn't you ask about those things just now, why did you use formations to restrain them?"

Bai Xiaoxi opened his eyes wide, and looked at Qian Finland in surprise, "Can I ask?"

Qian Finn was taken aback by Bai Xiaoxi's rhetorical question, then laughed and nodded, "Of course, I see that you don't even look at those things, and pretend you're not interested."

Bai Xiaoxi scratched her hair in embarrassment, and said, "I quite like the picture of the immortal traces of the Taishang Laojun in the previous room."

Qian Finn was taken aback for another moment, took a deep look at Bai Xiaoxi several times, and asked, "Do you despise any of those antiques and cultural relics?"

This time it was Bai Xiaoxi's turn to be stunned. She blinked and looked at Qian Finn, and saw that she had doubts in her eyes. It took her a while to react, and said with even more embarrassment, "That... I don't understand those things, it's very Is it valuable?"

Qian Finn looked at Bai Xiaoxi for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud, shaking his head as he walked—Bai Xiaoxi looked as if he felt sorry for his ignorance, how could there be such a simple child?
"Well, speaking of things that are really treasures, those things that have just been restrained by the formation," Qian Finn deliberately lowered his voice towards Bai Xiaoxi and said, "Those things can't be bought with money. !"

Bai Xiaoxi's eyes widened.

Seeing her eyes round and round, Qian Finn thought it was funny—for so many years, she had forgotten when it was time to make fun of others, but Bai Xiaoxi couldn't help but make her want to say a few more words, look at her The reaction is so interesting!

"I want to know why those things are full of yin, and do they need to be restrained with formations?" Qian Finn asked Bai Xiaoxi again.

Bai Xiaoxi looked at Qian Finn with wide eyes, and asked hesitantly, "I only know of one situation where things will have a yin energy..."

Seeing Bai Xiaoxi's hesitation, Qian Fenfen smiled and nodded, "Well, tell me?"

Bai Xiaoxi glanced at Qian Finn, first deliberately lagging behind her, and said to herself, don't make a mistake later, she hit me!So he gritted his teeth and said, "Well, it seems that something stolen from the tomb, if you haven't got rid of the filthy qi, it will..."

Qian Finn glanced back at Bai Xiaoxi, who was so shocked that Bai Xiaoxi immediately dared not speak.

Qian Finn smiled and continued walking forward, saying as he walked, "That's a good guess, those are indeed things from dead people."

"!" Bai Xiaoxi didn't even realize it, her mouth almost became O-shaped, "Well, Aunt Qian, tomb robbery... is against the law."

Qian Finn glanced back at Bai Xiaoxi again, and Bai Xiaoxi immediately fell silent.

Qian Finn held back a smile, shook his head, and said, "Didn't Xiang Bei tell you anything?"

Bai Xiaoxi shook her head honestly. Of course, Qian Finn could not be seen walking in front, but she guessed Bai Xiaoxi's answer without looking back, and continued, "Many things that come out of the tomb are too dark and easy to hurt people. If you don’t see the light, you can see the light, and if you don’t handle it properly, it will bring disasters. Those things just can’t be disposed of, so they are piled there.”

Bai Xiaoxi suddenly realized and nodded, but he felt a little puzzled in his heart—so, the pile of things just now is still illegal?And looking at the technique of the Bagua array, it is the style of my father when he was young, and it has a powerful effect of eliminating and purifying. So, those things will be disposed of in the end, right?
Why does dad help people do this kind of thing?

Bai Xiaoxi frowned, but couldn't figure out a clue in his mind, so he had to give up.

Qian Finn said again, "In our industry, there is a collective term for these things. Have Xiaoxi heard of them? It's called ghosts."
