Mason Xuan and the Mirror of Mystique Chapter 10

No matter how much Lawrence Master's house has a courtyard, a well in the house, and flowers in it, to put it bluntly, it is just a square, regular house. The more you pay attention to the Feng Shui pattern, the less likely you will come up with designs that are too out of the ordinary. Although there are many gates and walls, they can never go beyond the eight locations of east, west, south, north, southeast, southwest, northeast and northwest.

These eight directions correspond to the eight gates of Shang, Jing, Jing, Xiu, Du, Death, Life, and Kai.

Generally speaking, among the eight gates, the three gates of opening, resting, and living are the three most auspicious gates; the gate of death, the gate of shock, and the gate of injury are the three most inauspicious gates; and the two gates of Jing and Du are in the middle.

However, the bad, good and medium are not static. There is an old saying that goes, "Auspicious doors cannot afford to be defeated by auspicious people, but evil ones cannot afford to be defeated by auspicious people." Just like if the Sheng gate is used in a Yang house or a living person, it is auspicious, but if it is used in a Yin house or a dead person, it is unlucky. As for the underworld or the dead, the door of death is auspicious.

This means that for the two great survivors, Xavier Xue and Mason Xuan, as long as they find the Shengmen, they can get out of the situation safe and sound.

The static eight gates are easy to calculate, but once they change for some reason, it will be a bit troublesome.

What Xavier Xue and Mason Xuan encountered now was such a situation - the originally good life gate was occupied by the death gate for some reason. Not only did they not get out of the battle, but they also released a room of monsters and snake gods.

However, Mason Xuan opened the door without any hesitation. Xavier Xue didn't even have time to stop him!

In fact, if this matter were to happen to Xavier Xue, whose legs were still intact, with his temperament that would cause troubles all over the world, he would definitely think: What a life-and-death shock! Damn grandma! After opening it one by one, I can’t believe that I can’t find an exit! If that doesn't work, just call for thunder to explode!

Because he was sure that with his own ability, he would not fall for this little trick.

But it's different now. Mason Xuan is the leader now, and Xavier Xue himself is just a piece of paper borrowing someone else's shoulder to make a nest.

He interacted with Mason Xuan for less than an hour, and it only lasted for a few cups of tea. Judging from this brief moment of getting along, Xavier Xue still couldn't tell what the strength of this bald donkey was. The eminent monk had the airs and was quite bluffing at times, but Xavier Xue had never seen any of his actual abilities.

Such as "Will it attract thunder and rain?" "Can you save a lonely ghost like Jasper Jiang?" "If you really use your hands, will you be able to defeat the little-footed old lady who is suspected of being a resentful ghost in the formation?" ...

The key point is "I can't beat the old lady with little feet who is suspected of being a grudge in this game."

Xavier Xue was really doubtful about this.

After all, this bald donkey even brought a piece of broken copper to collect the monsters.

Xavier Xue asked: "Have you ever seen an expert who scooped up monsters?"

Xavier Xue replied: "No!"

Mason Xuan frowned, glanced at the evil figure on his shoulder who was muttering something unknown, and placed his long and beautiful fingers on the door. He had restrained himself from opening the door before, and there was no movement. This time, he probably went all out and pushed the door open without ceremony.

The crimson narrow door suddenly opened and hit the wall behind with a "bang".

Just as Mason Xuan was about to lift his feet, he saw that the palm-sized paper man on his shoulder could no longer sit still, and silently climbed down his monk's robes. From the high ground that was previously called "Broad View", I silently climbed back to my waist, lowered my head and bowed my head in silence for a moment, then slid into the secret bag along the gap, and closed the secret bag very obediently. .

From the strands of hair to the heels, everything expresses the same meaning: you are looking for death slowly, I will leave first.

Mason Xuan: ...

Behind the narrow door this time is a square patio, with the front hall and the nave leading to the north and south, and corridors on both sides. Surprisingly, Mason Xuan's unobtrusive sound of opening the door did not immediately alert the people inside. Xavier Xue sat in the secret bag and waited for a moment with his chin propped up. He didn't hear the chaotic footsteps approaching, so he couldn't help but poke his head out of the secret bag again.

Not a single ghost was seen in the patio, and it was quiet. However, there was faint laughter coming from the front hall, and it sounded like Lawrence Master's voice.

Xavier Xue didn't really have a good impression of Lawrence Master at all, but he was a little curious about what was happening in the front hall.

While he was thinking about it, Mason Xuan stepped through the door and silently walked along the corridor to the back door of the front hall.

You can't see the scene in the hall from the back door, because there is a huge screen blocking it. To enter the hall, you have to go around the screen on both sides. Xavier Xue watched helplessly as Mason Xuan, the bold bald donkey, stepped over the threshold and stood openly behind the screen, listening clearly to the conversation in the front hall.

Xavier Xue didn't know how many people were in the front hall, but only two people made a sound. One of them was none other than Mr. Liu, and the other was probably a guest he was meeting. Judging from his voice and slow speaking speed, he should be an elderly man.

Just listen to the old man saying: "By the way, everyone in the town has been talking about a rumor recently. I don't know whether it is true or not."

Lawrence Master asked, "What's the matter?"

"Old friend, have you ever heard about the leak of the Jiang Family Hospital?"

"Naturally, naturally." Lawrence Master's tone was dry for some reason. He repeated it several times, seemed to have picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and then sighed twice, "The corpse was taken away by the county government. It was all withered and reduced to charcoal. If the widower hadn't spoken, I really wouldn't have recognized it. It's a human body."

"I thought that when I came to town many years ago, I had a chance encounter with Dr. Jiang, but I never thought that---ah!" The old man sighed and added, "But it is said in this town that the Jiang family The doctor misdiagnosed Ling Ci's illness and used the wrong medicine, which caused Ling Ci to be in trouble. This..."

Lawrence Master picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Even Xavier Xue could hear the sound of swallowing the tea clearly.

He seemed to be suppressing some emotion, and also seemed to be brewing some emotion. After taking two sips of tea, he put the tea cup back on the table with a "pop-------", and his tone was a little sudden and excited: "Don't mention this matter again! Then the Jiang family has deserved retribution." , I have nothing to worry about! I just pity my old mother, who has worked hard for half her life and has only enjoyed a few years of blessings, so... ugh..."

When he heard Lawrence Master was so excited, the old man comforted him repeatedly: "Okay, don't mention it! The quack doctor is misleading people..."

Xavier Xue frowned when he heard this.

He suddenly remembered the day he first entered the Jiang family's abandoned house. The huge house was full of broken tiles, dead grass growing everywhere, and it was quiet and cold. Although the sun shines brightly during the day, there is always a heavy feeling of sadness. When he followed the wind and fell into the courtyard, he happened to face Jasper Jiang sitting in the corner.

Only then did I feel that all the sadness was emanating from this wild ghost.

It's a pity that Jasper Jiang, a wild ghost, is very confused. He only remembers what happened during his life, but forgets what happened after his death.

Xavier Xue asked him: "What are you doing here? When you die, you should be reincarnated. If you miss the time by wasting your time in the earth, you won't be able to reincarnate."

Jasper Jiang was at a loss for a while and said, "Oh, let's wait until mom and dad go on the road together. The two of us are quite young, so I have to take care of them."

Xavier Xue thought at that time that this wild ghost might have damaged his brain by reading before he was alive. Hearing what he was talking about in his sleep.

"What about your parents?" Xavier Xue asked with a toothache on his face.

Jasper Jiang sighed and said, "I guess I went to the wrong door. Unfortunately, I don't have a decent body. I can't even get out of this courtyard door, so I can't find anywhere."

Xavier Xue stared at him for a while and said, "Okay, I will reluctantly help you, but there is a condition."

"Say." Jasper Jiang said simply.

Xavier Xue: "Lend me your house for a few days."

...

Ever since Xavier Xue gave Jasper Jiang a paper body, he had been searching for people in the town every night. In three days, he almost walked around the town twice, but still found nothing.

Previously, Xavier Xue had guessed that maybe the two elders of the Jiang family had already taken the lead. But at this moment, after listening to Lawrence Master's words, a vague idea suddenly came to him.

Just when he was about to climb up the pole again and climb back on the bald donkey's shoulders to say something to him, the two people in the front hall made another move.

I heard Lawrence Master say: "By the way, I said last time that I got a beautiful thing and planned to invite an old friend to come and taste it, but I almost forgot about it. Let's go, let's go to the back."

When Xavier Xue heard this, he quickly reached out and stabbed Mason Xuan.

However, the force of the paper is not very strong when it pokes people. It is better to scratch than to poke.

Mason Xuan's waist was scratched by Nie Zhao, and his brows furrowed slightly. Just as he was about to turn around and cross the threshold to leave this place, he found someone standing straight behind him.
