Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 33
Jia's Mansion is a courtyard with four entrances, and the place is surprisingly large.

Xin Ziqiu didn't know the way, so he could only wander around under the hazy moonlight and starlight.

As he walked, the tingling sensation from the pattern on his arm became stronger and weaker.

This made him guess that the stronger the burning pain, the closer he would be to the mysterious energy.

Relying on such vague guidance, Xin Ziqiu finally made his way to the woodshed where Jia Zhong was staying.

Just as he was approaching the firewood room, he clearly sensed a powerful force coming from there through the power of gluttony.

Different from the sharp power of Gengjin felt from the flying sword talisman the day before, this time the energy is cold, extremely cold, full of evil spirits and weirdness, and is completely opposite to the upright Taoism of Longhu Mountain.

Xin Ziqiu narrowed his eyes, and his eyes became cold and severe.

This is Mr. Jia's home, and it is also his shelter. If there are evil spirits in the mansion, he must not stand by and watch.

But just when he was about to go forward to find out, this force suddenly dissipated and disappeared without a trace.

The heaviness on his heart suddenly disappeared along with the burning sensation on his arm, which made Xin Ziqiu even more surprised.

After a while, Jia Zhong came out of the firewood room, looked up and saw Xin Ziqiu, showing an exaggerated expression, took a step back, covered his heart and said:

"I don't know who it is, it turned out to be Mr. Xin Xiaolang, it was in the middle of the night, you scared me to death."

There was a pendant on his chest, with a drop-shaped gemstone inlaid on it, but at this moment it was dim, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Xin Ziqiu showed apologetic expression, smiled embarrassedly and said:

"Mr. Jia, I'm really sorry, I couldn't sleep, I was walking around, and you haven't slept yet?"

Jia Zhong touched his bare chin, and said with concern:

"The house is too big, so I have to inspect it, so as not to dry out the water. It's cold, and if you can't sleep, Mr. Xiaolang, you should put on some clothes when you go out, so as not to get sick."

Xin Ziqiu patted his chest:
"It's okay. I'm young and strong. Don't disturb Mr. Jia's inspection. I'll go back to sleep first."

After speaking, he turned and left.

When Jia Zhong saw him leave, the smile on his face suddenly faded and turned into a fierce look.

Under his feet, a thin gray line snaked out, like a fast crawling snake, it caught up with Xin Ziqiu, sneaked into his trousers, and sank into his body instantly.

After watching all this, Jia Zhong walked away satisfied.

……

This chief executive is a bit mysterious.

Xin Ziqiu muttered, he had already noticed Jia Zhong in his heart, but he still didn't show any signs on the surface.

After all, everything is just my own guesswork. Just relying on the strange sensation of Taotie's power, I can't conclude that this person is good or bad, and there is no evidence, so it's not easy to report to Jia Xian.

Xin Ziqiuman thought that since he had come to Bianliang City and lived in Jia Xian's house, he should be relaxed and comfortable for a while, but who knew that there were still mysterious and strange things happening, haunting him lingeringly.

……

"Your gluttonous power has swallowed a stream of energy. Type: Undead; Quality: Normal..."

"..."

The familiar voice sounded again, Xin Ziqiu was taken aback, why did he have another spirit of death?

And this time the reminder was slightly different, the essence was not absorbed by himself, but swallowed by the power of gluttony, which made him even more puzzled.

But that's not important, now that he has a weapon spirit energy, and now he has an additional necromancer energy that can cause damage, so he has more confidence, and he is not too afraid of these ghosts and monsters.

On the contrary, after all this tossing, Xin Ziqiu was finally exhausted, returned to the room and soon fell asleep.

……

It wasn't until the next day that Xin Ziqiu reluctantly got up from the bed.

He finally had a good night's sleep last night. At this moment, he felt energetic and his fatigue was gone.

Opening his eyes and looking around, he realized that the sky had already brightened, and the warm sunshine came in from the window lattice, reflecting on the silk quilt, a dazzling golden color.

He looked around carefully, and found that the bedroom he was in was huge, and it was a suite, with all kinds of exquisite vases and clay pots, which were very exquisite.

At this time, Mei Guan from the outer room heard the movement, and came in with a porcelain plate and wet towel, walked to the bed and said to him:
"Xiao Langjun is awake, please rinse your mouth and wipe your face."

Xin Ziqiu grinned:
"Sister Mei, you are too polite, you are older than me, just call me Xiaoqiu, that's what everyone else calls me."

Mei Guan was amused by him, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Langjun is really good at joking, we are different in dignity, how can we call each other by our first names?"

Xin Ziqiu saw a small bowl on a porcelain plate, filled with a golden liquid, which smelled very sweet, took it up and gulped it down, feeling bitter, but not like tea.

Mei Guan smiled again:
"Xiao Langjun, that's ginseng soup for gargling, why did you swallow it?"

Xin Ziqiu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't understand the exquisiteness of these ancient rich people, and said carelessly:

"It's okay, I just have a dry mouth. Is Mr. Jia up? I'll go say hello to him."

Mei Guan led him out of the back garden and came to the main hall of the front room. Sure enough, Jia Xian was sitting on a big rosewood chair, holding a book in his hand, reading with great interest.

This hall has a radius of several feet. The floor is paved with water-polished blue bricks. It is spacious, bright and extremely grand. Dozens of people will not feel crowded.

When Jia Xian saw Xin Ziqiu coming, he stood up to greet him with a smile:

"Xiaoqiu, are you up? Are you still used to it?"

Xin Ziqiu and him went through life and death, and they didn't see each other at this time. He nodded with a smile and said:
"Old man, your house is really magnificent. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have never lived in such a luxurious house in my life."

Jia Xian laughed at himself and said:

"Where, it's all the shadow of my ancestors. In my generation, I can only sit and eat, and make no progress. I am really ashamed of my ancestors."

"..."

When the two were greeting each other, Jia Zhong happened to bring in a tray with various fruits and vegetables on it, as well as teapots and cups.

When he saw Xin Ziqiu's complexion was ruddy, he was chatting with Jia Xian alive and well, his expression changed imperceptibly, his hands trembled, and he almost dropped the tray on the ground.

Seeing his hands and feet, Jia Xian couldn't help frowning.

Xin Ziqiu didn't care, he greeted Jia Zhong with a smile, picked up an apple on the tray and started to chew.

At this time, someone came to report that there were guests from Kaifeng mansion outside the door asking to see him.

Jia Xian smiled and said:

"Invite them in quickly, Mr. Bao probably can't wait."

Not long after, two people entered the hall. The leader was over 40 years old, wearing a red official uniform and a dark brown official hat. He is a standard handsome man.

The other person Xin Ziqiu knew was Xu Liang with white eyebrows.

The middle-aged man saluted Jia Xian and Xin Ziqiu:
"Zhan Zhao, the guard with a knife in front of the Kaifeng Mansion, has met Mr. Jia and Xin Xiaoyi."

It turned out that this was the famous Nan Xia Zhan Zhao, Zhan Xiong Fei.

He has followed Bao Zheng since he was a boy, and he has been with Bao Zheng for more than 20 years now. He has long since lost his quack air, and he looks like a decent official.

On the contrary, Xu Liang from behind, when he saw Xin Ziqiu, grinned and showed his big yellow teeth, his smile was ugly as hell, but also extremely sincere.

Jia Xian and Xin Ziqiu also returned the gift, and Zhan Zhao said:

"Master Bao invited the two of you to come over to the mansion for a talk. His old man held a banquet in the mansion to welcome the two of you."

Jia Xian said: "The villain is going to pay a visit to Mr. Bao, it's very good, please guard Zhan to lead us to bother you."

Xin Ziqiu did not expect that he would also be invited to Kaifeng Mansion, which was a surprise.
