23. Chapter 23 Is the Daoist angry?(3/3)

"I just went to find my mother and tentatively told her about the haunted thing about Kangping Bo's Mansion. But my mother didn't believe it at all, and she was furious and told me not to spread it out, otherwise it would have missed the big news about Sister Caiwei."

Jiang Caishuang was puzzled, "But there is a demon in Bo's house that causes trouble. What if Sister Caiwei encounters danger?"

"Sister Shuang'er, you may not know that Sister Caiwei and the son of the Bo Mansion were childhood sweethearts, and they were deeply in love. At that time, Sister Caiwei's face had red spots, and she had not retreated for a long time. The eldest aunt planned to go to the Bo Mansion to break the engagement, but the son of the Bo Mansion knelt on the ground and sweared to never retreat. He also said that no matter how Sister Caiwei's appearance looked, he would never marry her in his life."

"It is precisely because of Yu Wenyan's insistence that the marriage has been maintained until now. Finally, when Sister Caiwei's appearance recovers and the two finally get married, they naturally have to prepare for the marriage as soon as possible. If we discuss the postponement of the marriage with the Bo's Mansion on the grounds that the Bo's Mansion is haunted, one thing is that outsiders say that our Pingyuan Marquis Mansion is indifferent and unfaithful and does not keep its promises, the other thing is that it is not good for Sister Caiwei's reputation."

After listening to her cousin's analysis, Jiang Caishuang thought about it carefully and felt that what she said was very reasonable.

The princes of the Bo family have never left each other. Now that Sister Caiwei's appearance has recovered, they are unwilling to get married as soon as possible, which is indeed easy to cause gossip. Others do not believe in any evil sayings. Their rash mentions them, which will only make others think that this is an excuse for them to not want to get married.

Jiang Caishuang thought for a while and asked in confusion: "Sister Caiqing, what should we do?"

"It's still a while from getting engaged to getting married. Wouldn't we just find a way to get rid of evil things?"

Jiang Caishuang's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Yes, we will wipe out the demon before Sister Caiwei gets married, and there will be no problem."

"But don't go there in the next two days. It's not too late to go after you recover from the injury." Jiang Caiqing pulled up the embroidered gold water sleeves, and a black mechanism wrapped around her thin white arms. "This is the mechanism I bought from Mr. Song today. It can shoot out bronze leaves. Then we will remove the monsters together, and I can help you."

"What is this?" Jiang Caishuang touched the mechanism curiously. The metal felt cold and the workmanship was exquisite and complicated, unlike ordinary things.

"I'll take it down and show it to you."

Jiang Caishuang held the mechanism in his hand and looked through it. Many small gears and rib ropes were designed inside. When the mechanism was opened, it would make a crisp clicking sound. The bronze leaves were shot out "whispered", cutting off a piece of curtain and nailed them into the wall.

Jiang Caishuang sighed: "For such a wonderful mechanism, it seems that this person is proficient in Qimen Dunjia. Thanks to his help this time, otherwise I would not be able to get out."

Although she has a demon-catching star plate to protect her body, it doesn’t matter if she calls out the Danhuo when it is most urgent, but it will inevitably make a louder sound and attract people from Kangping Bo’s Mansion. At that time, the identity will be exposed and affecting Sister Caiwei’s reputation will be bad.

Just remembering the Danhuo that the man gave him... Jiang Caishuang's smile that had just risen on the corner of her mouth quickly disappeared again.

Two days later, the people from Kangping Bo’s Mansion came to get a job.

Jiang Caishuang and Jiang Caiqing hid behind the silk screen and met the elegant young master of the Bo Mansion.

That young master was handsome, humble and polite, and he knew his words and deeds at a glance that he knew how to advance and retreat, and was graceful.

"I heard that the third girl was in poor health and was recuperating in Jiangnan since she was a child. Weier's sister is my sister. I specially ordered someone to find a hundred-year-old blood ginseng and send it to her for her to recuperate."

"This old keng Taoyan was a gift for the elder brother. Wen Yan also prepared a wish for the two elders..."

Yu Wenyan prepared generous gifts for everyone in the Hou Mansion, all of which were given according to everyone's preferences.

If I hadn't really asked for a marriage, how could I have put such an effort into it?

Jiang Caishuang pulled her dress, but in the end she didn't tell the story of Kang Pingbo's mansion causing evil.

Forget it, Sister Caiwei's marriage has been full of twists and turns, and it was finally settled. She should not affect them at this time. As long as she removes the demons as soon as possible, this matter can be solved perfectly.

After dinner, Jiang Caishuang and her cousin went to Caiwei's yard together.

When they arrived, they found Ning Yuxia was also there, and the mother and daughter were sitting by the bed and talking.

"Mother/Auntie."

Jiang Caiwei quipped and said, "My mother said she wanted to add something to me, but she didn't take it out for a long time. I don't know what kind of treasure it is, so mysterious."

Ning Yuxia held the booklet in her sleeve and cleared her throat awkwardly, "You talk to your sister first, and I'll give it to you later."

Jiang Caishuang blinked curiously, "Mom, what are you going to give to your sister? Can't sister Caiqing and I look at it?"

"Let's talk about it when you get married." Ning Yuxia sighed uneasy, "Vier is about to get married. She has not had many days in the house. If you sisters have anything to say, it will be difficult to get together like this in the future."

After hearing what my mother said, Jiang Caishuang was no longer curious about what that thing was, but instead she was a faint melancholy.

After Ning Yuxia left, Jiang Caishuang and her cousin accompanied Jiang Caiwei for a while and gave their own gifts.

"Congratulations to Sister Caiwei for finding a good man." Jiang Caiqing gave a carefully selected set of ruby ​​faces.

Jiang Caishuang spent two days walking on the street but didn't meet anyone she wanted. In the end, she chose to give her the jade ornaments she carved with herself to express her feelings.

She held the brocade box and said seriously: "Congratulations to my sister for her wedding. I will give my sister a piece of requiem jade to protect her heart and purify her spirit, and to avoid evil."

"Shuang'er, thank you." Jiang Caiwei put the requiem jade on her neck and held her hand, "You have suffered outside over the years."

"Sister, I didn't suffer, I was having a happy life in my grandfather's house."

"Sister Caiwei, don't worry, Shuang'er is living in Jiangnan very interesting. Her life is more interesting than the stories in the storybook, and I envy her." Jiang Caiqing blinked at Jiang Caishuang playfully.

"Oh? What interesting things are there in Jiangnan? Can you tell me?"

Jiang Caishuang couldn't tell her about catching monsters, so she picked up the gossips from the streets and alleys to tell her, which made Jiang Caiwei fall and fall together.

"There is such a thing? It's so funny."

"I just say that Shuang'er's life in Jiangnan is enviable. If you want to leave the house, you can see the people and things outside. How can we be so comfortable in the capital..."

The three sisters chatted happily in the middle, laughing and adding several pots of tea.

As the day and night, Jiang Caishuang felt that her health was almost well. After Cuicui fell asleep outside, she quietly left her courtyard and prepared to go to Kangping Bo Mansion to get rid of demons and catch ghosts.

As soon as he left the Hou Mansion, he saw a few figures guarding under the wall. Jiang Caishuang habitually walked a few steps there. When he approached, he found that the servants of the Hou Mansion were standing under the wall.

Jiang Caishuang paused and left in a different direction.

She stepped on the eaves lightly, and her petite figure rose and fell in the night, and soon arrived at Kangping Bo Mansion.

After nightfall, Kangpingbo's mansion was pitch black and silent, with only scattered lanterns hanging at the forks. The bamboo forest under the high walls was dense, and many blurred shadows swayed in the darkness. The huge courtyard seemed to be left with only the rustling sound of bamboo leaves, which was terrifying.

Jiang Caishuang jumped off the high wall without hesitation and came to the yard. Following the road I had visited a few days ago, she arrived near the rockery.

There was not a single lantern near the rockery, the night wind was rustling, the bright moon was hidden behind the dark clouds, and the dome was as dark as ink.

Jiang Caishuang walked to the narrow entrance of the rockery, held the ignited talisman paper in his hand, and walked slowly inside.

The talisman paper can only dispel the darkness under her feet, and the rest of the place is still dark. Her footsteps are very light, and she will still make a subtle sound when stepping on the gravel. The shadows are hazy and popping on the narrow rockery stone walls, brightly intertwined with the flash of the talisman fire.

Every time he turned around against the wall, Jiang Caishuang had to hold his breath in advance and enter the state of fighting with a tight body.

But after walking through the cramped rockery for a long time, I did not encounter any danger.

Finally arrived at the last narrow path, Jiang Caishuang held the peach wood sword in her hand tightly and rushed to the right. The talisman fire shook violently and returned to calm. She saw that the dark and silent front was the cave where the demon was hiding before.

The entrance of the cave is dark and narrow, and it is impossible to see what kind of danger is lurking inside.

Jiang Caishuang took a deep breath and walked towards the stone chamber step by step.

Her heartbeats between her chest, intertwined with the sound of footsteps.

But when Jiang Caishuang came to the entrance of the stone chamber with great vigilance, he threw the ignited talisman paper in, but he did not wait for the demon to come up to extinguish the fire.

The talisman paper burned quietly on the ground and soon turned into ashes.

Jiang Caishuang threw in a burning talisman paper again, and the flames filled the entire stone chamber, and she found that there was nothing in the cave.

Jiang Caishuang rushed into the cave with his sword. This time, he glanced roughly and quickly looked behind him, but there was nothing.

That ghost is not here.

Where did you go?

Jiang Caishuang held the talisman paper and searched for traces it might have left in the cave.

When I came here last time, I saw many scratches left on the stone wall similar to those left by swords and swords. This time I looked carefully and found that the scratches were much wider than ordinary swords, and the traces left on the walls were also very deep, unlike the ability of manpower.

It seems that it was left by the demon.

What is its true body? Why can it leave such deep marks on the hard stone surface?

Jiang Caishuang studied these crisscrossing traces and knocked on the wall from time to time. He accidentally touched a stone the size of a fist. As soon as he pressed it down, he heard a dull sound coming from the stone slab next to him.

Immediately afterwards, the stone wall slowly pulled aside, and a secret passage that didn't know where it was appeared in front of her.

As soon as I opened the secret, a strong smell of blood came to my nose.

Jiang Caishuang fanned her palm in front of her nose, pinched her nose, and was about to walk down the stone steps, when she heard a very light sound from outside the stone room.

She suddenly turned around, behind her was an empty narrow path, and the high rockery stones blocked all the sight of the outside world. The outside was foggy and there seemed to be nothing.

But Jiang Caishuang's intuition told her that something had indeed passed by just now, so she clenched the sword in her hand, frowned slightly, and lowered her voice and asked, "Who is there?"

The night wind is quiet.

A familiar slender figure slowly walked out of the dark night.

"The Taoist priest has good ears." With his low magnetic and lazy voice, the tall figure of the visitor was also exposed to Jiang Caishuang's eyes.

The man looked beautiful and charming, and was still wearing a red dress that was as hot as fire, handsome and upright as a jade belt.
