Riding the Pheonix Chapter 203: The world
Back at the morgue, Mingwei asked: "Madam, can you feel the souls of the bones that are still there?"
Qian Niang floated around and pointed out a few bodies. ()
Jiang Wenfeng asked: "There are hundreds of corpses here. Are these the only ones that can summon souls?"
Mingwei nodded: "Calling souls is not that easy. After a person dies, most of the souls will disperse immediately and embark on the road of reincarnation. Only a few can be preserved, and only a few can retain memories. A small number of them. Therefore, not every case can use the method of spiritualism to communicate with the dead."
Jiang Wenfeng realized: "No wonder, over the years, Qian Niang has only been able to contact the souls of unjust deaths in a few cases."
Ming smiled and said: "More than that, Madam's soul is spiritual, which will make the soul instinctively fear."
"That's it."
The corpses were carried together, and Mingwei began to set up an altar and start searching for the souls.
……
Ji Xiaowu played all day. At night, he was taken to a compound by Qi Ping to rest.
The courtyard looks ordinary from the outside, but once you enter, you realize how luxurious it is inside.
Silks come from the south, blankets come from the north, the furnishings in the room are either gold or jade, the furniture is all made of huanghuali, and the paintings hanging on the walls also have their own names.
Ji Xiaowu was dazzled and asked Qi Ping: "What place is this? It's so gorgeous."
Qi Ping asked with a smile: "Brother Guo, your family is so famous in Luo City, but you have never been to a place like this?"
Ji Xiaowu said sheepishly: "To be honest, brother Qi, my mother is very strict. We have money at home, but life is not what outsiders think. My father eats steamed buns and porridge in the morning, so the family can be frugal. Everyone is frugal. If I had any dissatisfaction, he would be beaten by him. He told me how our family started, and how it was so easy to forget the roots once we became rich. Moreover, there are still so many brothers to take care of, in case of a bad year. You are in charge of their life and death, how can you spend it casually!"
"That's it!" Qi Ping thought to himself. He had heard that the Guo family was stingy and thought they were putting on a show, but it seemed to be true! Well, Elder Ge has a sharp gaze, so there should be no doubt about the identity of Young Master Guo.
He brought Ji Xiaowu to the city to play with this intention. I want to test his background to see if his identity is fake.
"It's not just that!" Ji Xiaowu added, "My brother works outside and socializes, so he is quite comfortable. I have been weak since I was a child and have been detained. Except for Duofu, there is no good-looking girl in the family. ..."
Qi Ping laughed loudly, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Mrs. Guo is too strict. Brother Guo is such an old man, it's time to get in touch with him. Men, don't they just want money and food from women?" ”
Ji Xiaowu still smiled shyly.
"Come on, come on," Qi Ping pulled him enthusiastically, "Today, my brother will show you the world."
Duofu followed behind and couldn't help but interjected: "Sir! Madam has told me, you have to learn it well!"
Qi Ping's face sank: "What do you mean by not learning well? What man doesn't socialize outside? This is what he should do."
Ji Xiaowu hesitated for a moment and said to Duofu: "I just see the world, don't my brothers do the same outside?"
"But you are not in good health..."
"What's wrong with my health? I was prone to getting sick when I was a kid, but I've gotten better over the years!"
"Young Master..." Duofu didn't know what to advise and could only look at him pleadingly.
Ji Xiaowu looked embarrassed.
Qi Ping said: "Girl, do you have to worry so much about the master's affairs? Do you understand the rules?"
Ji Xiaowu immediately said: "Brother Qi, Duofu is ignorant, and she is doing it for my own good." Then he turned around and said, "I told you, I just see the world and don't mess around. I don't trust you. Just watch from the side."
Duofu nodded: "Okay."
Ji Xiaowu turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Qi is laughing, this girl..."
Qi Ping smiled knowingly: "I understand, I understand." He thought to himself that he was indeed a young master who was raised pampered.
At this moment, he has no doubt about Ji Xiaowu's identity. If someone else is pretending to be someone else, why bother having such a maid standing by to hold him back?
On entering the inner room, I found that there was already a banquet waiting for me.
Two young ladies, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin and beautiful face, dressed in brocade and gold, one holding a pipa and the other holding a flute. When he saw them coming in, he bowed and saluted.
Ji Xiaowu was sent to the banquet in a daze. After having a glass of wine, he turned to Qi Ping and asked: "They look no worse than Miss Qianjin, how can they be so good..."
Qi Ping laughed: "These are just two girls playing and singing, the real master hasn't come yet!"
As he said this, he clapped his hands and an old woman came in immediately, waiting for instructions.
Qi Ping said: "Please bring your lady out."
The old grandma responded respectfully and retreated.
Not long after, the gauze curtain was lifted, the fragrant breeze blew into my face, and a beauty came holding a fan.
Qi Ping smiled secretly when he saw Ji Xiaowu's eyes straightened.
Those two girls are already top-notch beauties. If there is another one more beautiful than them, won’t this young master lose his soul? Look, his maid pulled him several times, but there was no response.
"Gui Niang, this is Young Master Guo." He pointed at Ji Xiaowu and introduced.
Gui Niang's lower body was soft and her voice was like an oriole: "I have met Young Master Guo."
Ji Xiaowu was pushed by Qi Ping before he came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite."
Gui Niang sat down, poured wine and food for him, asked him about his origins in a soft voice, and talked about interesting things about the capital.
She was not frivolous, she just kept talking. Slowly, the atmosphere became better and better.
Qi Ping looked at the situation and deliberately tilted the glass, pouring the whole glass of wine onto Ji Xiaowu.
He pretended to be surprised: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I drank too much and my hands are a little unsteady. Guiniang, why don't you take Young Master Guo in to change clothes quickly."
"Young master..." Duofu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Qi Ping, "I just changed my clothes, how can I still eat your young master? You have also seen it, Gui Niang is very serious!"
Ji Xiaowu also said: "Duofu, please wait here for a while, I will be out soon."
Duofu was reluctant: "The young master will come out after changing."
"Of course."
……
A wisp of smoke slowly took shape in Mingwei's hands~IndoMTL.com~ She stretched out her fingers and flicked it, falling to the ground and turning into a woman.
This woman's figure is much lighter than Qian Niang's, with a dull expression and dull eyes.
"Who are you?"
The woman showed no reaction at all.
Mingwei asked patiently several times before she opened her mouth: "I...I don't know..."
Seeing her speak, Ming was slightly relieved.
As long as she can speak, it means she still retains some consciousness.
She said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. Think about it, do you still remember what happened before?"
After asking this question several times, I heard her say again: "Ru Meng Ling...Linglong is the best at singing Ru Meng Ling..."
"Linglong, is that your name?"
"I don't know..." She closed her eyes and murmured, and the tune was just like Ru Meng Ling.
