Help!Master Chief Assistant's Jiaojiao is a black widow

Chapter 29
Although it had been night for a long time, the Dou family courtyard was unusually lively and brightly lit.

Hua Rujin followed Ye Chengwei as she walked in and looked around, familiar scenery and familiar smells, from the moment she stepped into this deep mansion, she felt a suffocating sense of solemnity lingering around her.

There were two rows of people dressed as Taoist priests sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, about a dozen of them seemed to be chanting something plausibly, shaking bells or ritual instruments in their hands, and there were small yellow flags planted around them.

There are also a few Taoists dressed in strange clothes, holding peach wood swords or talisman papers, circling the yard, throwing a few burning talisman papers from time to time, the yellow and white flames stay in the air for a moment, and immediately turn into thick smoke .

Billowing smoke enveloped the entire courtyard, and it was almost impossible to see the situation of the entire compound.

When the county official entered, the Taoist priests continued their respective missions with full concentration, as if they had already transcended the world and turned a blind eye to what was happening in front of them.

Hua Rujin, Ye Chengwei, and Shu Jinxuan passed by the Taoist priests, and when they arrived in the living room, they saw a simple mourning hall appearing in front of them behind the mist.

The smell of smoke from the burnt talisman mixed with the scent of sandalwood burning in several small incense burners lined up in the mourning hall. The pungent smell made Hua Rujin shiver uncontrollably.

It smells really bad.

A few people showed up, Gu Langxi, Liu Cheng and Dou's family sitting at both ends of the mourning hall got up one after another and bowed to each other.

Hua Rujin was observing the layout of the mourning hall, when she saw the old butler greet her with tears on her face, and said loudly: "Miss Third Young Master, you are finally back, the master has been worrying too much these days and can't sleep at night, please forgive me." The madam is sorry for the poor master, and the third son's last wish must have been fulfilled."

Hearing this, Ye Chengwei cast a stern look, and the old housekeeper immediately stopped talking in fright.

"Changshun, don't be rude in front of the county magistrate."

A deep voice sounded, Hua Rujin heard the reputation, and saw the original owner's father, Dou Yue, walking up slowly.

The benevolent and kind appearance in his eyes is worthy of the bony and fairy-like attire on him.

In my impression, this old man is always slow and generous, even when the sky is falling, he still looks cold and calm.

"Rujin, father-in-law made you suffer."

Dou Yue stood in front of her, choked by the smoke and couldn't help coughing a few times.

"Dou - old - member - foreign words are heavy."

Hua Rujin half-closed her phoenix eyes, and replied in a cold voice.

This sanctimonious image reminded her that every time the original owner was frivolously molested by Dou Yuancheng in the past, the old man would just scold him softly after he appeared, without punishment or warning, and let his perverted son continue to be lawless.

Faintly, she seemed to sense that the old man was conniving on purpose.

In Touching the Scenery, the old man really only took up two words in it.

The address was suddenly changed, Dou Yue's expressionless face sank slightly, and then the corner of his mouth twitched and smiled coldly: "You have made the two county magistrates tired by your nonsense, and the matter has come to this point. Father-in-law can no longer protect you, you Whether to go or stay tonight is up to your late husband to decide."

As soon as the words fell, the old Taoist priest next to him raised the bell in his hand and shook it slightly, and the candles in the hall trembled suddenly, and everyone in the mist stared at the Taoist priest with wide eyes.

Seeing this, Shu Jinxuan immediately came to Hua Rujin's body.

But Ye Chengwei folded his hands, his gaze was as steady as a rock, and he was carefully observing the wind and grass in the mist.

Hua Rujin slowly pushed away Shu Jinxuan, who was protecting her, and continued to squint her phoenix eyes to look at the Taoist priest who was doing it. Her back and figure seemed a little familiar.

The moment he raised the mahogany sword and picked paper to burn incense, Hua Rujin suddenly saw his face clearly.

Isn't this the old man who sold talisman paper in Huangliu Lane before.

While hesitating, I saw Ox-nosed Old Daoist holding a bell in one hand and shaking it violently, and holding a mahogany sword in the other hand, stirring candlelight around the mourning hall wrapped in layers of mist like a dragonfly on water.

Seeing Hua Rujin's gorgeous posture made Hua Rujin dizzy for a while.

Looking at the eye-catching talisman papers everywhere, Hua Rujin immediately remembered what the old beggar said today.

Thinking that he had no reaction to those talisman papers, he couldn't help muttering to himself: "Xiaomian, apart from being better at drawing a few talisman papers than me, this sword-wielding skill is really not much better than me."

As soon as Yecai finished speaking, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he felt that his entire vision was much blurred, and his mind was dizzy.

She fixed her eyes on the burning sandalwood in several incense burners, and suddenly sensed something was wrong, she quietly leaned into the dull-faced Shu Jinxuan's ear and whispered: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with this sandalwood."

Shu Jinxuan also quickly covered her nose when she heard the sound.

The two looked at Ye Chengwei behind him, who had already blocked his sleeves in front of his breath.

Several people looked at each other, but they heard the sound of chanting outside the house getting louder, and the figures of Taoist priests swaying around the yard became more and more hurried.

The tense and suffocating atmosphere made all three of them heighten their vigilance.

As for her cousin's reminder, Shu Jinxuan hurriedly sneaked a little gap in the air and sniffed it intently, then her face was startled, and she quietly reminded her in a low voice, "It seems to smell like a fairy."

The two looked at each other silently: "Do you still remember that elder brother got a batch of rare medicinal materials from an overseas businessman in the early years? This medicinal material is extremely rare. But it can make people excited and produce a short-term hallucinogenic effect."

"I see."

Hua Rujin suddenly realized, no wonder the smell is so familiar.

This old Taoist is really smart, he put the spice made by the fairy into the burning sandalwood, no one would be able to detect it if he is not a knowledgeable person.

The two continued to watch every move in the mist in silence, when suddenly a gust of wind rushed in, and the figures outside the house trembled like ghosts, which made people tremble with fear.

While Hua Rujin was whispering to Shu Jinxuan, Ye Chengwei's icy almond eyes kept paying attention to the movement outside the house.

While concentrating, he saw a white shadow flashing outside the house like lightning, much faster than the wandering Taoist priests. He sensed something was wrong, and decisively pulled out an iron handle from Ting An's hand. Jian quickly chased him out.

Before Hua Rujin could react, she saw the jade-white figure in the mist lightly disappearing in front of her.

"I didn't expect him to be so skilled. He seems to be different from the gentle magistrates I imagined."

Seeing this, Hua Rujin quickly pulled out a saber from the waist of a panicked guard and chased after him.

As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, through the layers of fog, I saw two white shadows chasing over the eaves and walls of the courtyard. The smoke was so thick that it seemed unclear who was the enemy and who was the friend.

Hua Rujin clenched her saber tightly, looked at the eaves behind her, and was about to step on it, but then thought: Grandma, I don’t think I can.

In her era, most of them were close-to-hand combat skills, and this kind of kung fu of flying over the roof and walls has never been seen.

While he was thinking, he saw a white shadow suddenly attacking him directly.

The speed is astonishing.

When the person's face can be seen clearly, the skin that is as pale as a skin is horrifying to see, and the empty black eyes without a trace of blood make people panic.

Seeing that Bai Ying had arrived, Hua Rujin was stunned and threw the long knife in her hand violently when she saw the figure who was rushing towards him.

But the white shadow was extremely agile, and he dodged Han Sensen's blade in the blink of an eye.

Hua Rujin's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to punch out, but when the white shadow was only a few feet away from her, her body suddenly stopped, as if she was frozen in the air.

Seeing this scene, Hua Rujin also hesitated for a moment, before she could swing her fist, she saw a bright sword edge passing by, Bai Ying immediately turned the spear, and the figure walked around Hua Rujin like a ghost and went straight to the mourning hall.

"Are you OK?"

Ye Chengwei held the long sword in his hand and looked at her cautiously.

"fine."

Hua Rujin shook her head, and saw a drop of black blood like paint dripping from the edge of his sword.
