Chapter 210 Skeleton Spirit Pays Homage
Old man Qin talked about his experience of fighting with great gusto, and the three children were fascinated by his story.
Kong Wu: "Ah, ah, ah..."
"Don't worry, I'll give each of you a night pearl. Don't tell anyone else." Old man Qin took out the round night pearls and gave them to them.
Xue Che took the night-shining pearl and said, "It's rare to see one this big."
It is such a big pearl, polished to a very round shape. Only the royal family could collect so many night pearls and put them in the tomb.
Su Zhizhi twirled the beads in her hand, but she was more interested in the story told by Old Man Qin:
"And then...whose bones are black? As black as charcoal? Why did someone poison them?"
Old man Qin nodded and shook his head:
"The late emperor, the concubine, many of their bones are black. Why are there so many? If we go to the homes of ordinary wealthy families, we will see the same situation. Who allowed them to marry so many wives?"
Su Zhizhi: "Does marrying too many wives make it easier to be poisoned to death?"
Old Man Qin laughed heartily: "Of course."
Su Zhizhi suddenly realized: "No wonder Grandpa Qin lives so long, because you don't have a wife."
Old man Qin chuckled twice, but this time his smile seemed a little fake and forced.
Kong Wu gestured again: "Ah, ah ah."
Old Man Qin knocked a chestnut on Kong Wu's head and said, "The village chief only has Yingniang as his wife, so there won't be any problems."
Kong Wu rubbed his head and smiled foolishly.
Old Man Qin looked at Xue Che and joked with a smile: "Ache is handsome. In a few years, he will be a playboy. There will definitely be many girls who like him. Maybe Ache will marry many wives."
Su Zhizhi also looked at A Che, looked at his delicate features and nodded, "A Che will definitely be a great beauty in the future."
Xue Che clutched the Night Pearl, and his face and neck instantly spread red. He stood up anxiously and angrily:
"I want to go to the northwest to be a man, not a beauty. I want to be a general, so I won't marry a wife, not even one!"
That night, Xue Che had a nightmare.
Xue Che dreamed that he was on his way to the northwest, but was captured by a group of skeleton monsters and taken as a groom.
The bones of the skeleton demon were all black, as black as charcoal, and in each of its two eyes was embedded a night pearl, emitting a faint green light.
Many skeletons lined up to kowtow to him, saying:
"Who told you to grow up to be such a beauty? Hurry up and get married!"
Under the red satin covering the sky and the ground, Xue Che was forced to kowtow by the skeleton monsters, and he felt like his head was about to break.
He turned his head and saw that the long line of skeletons behind him had no end in sight, and he didn't know how long the worship ceremony would end.
Xue Che collapsed on the spot, his eyes red:
"I don't want to get married... I'm not a great beauty..."
Bang bang bang!
At this moment, a figure rushed in, running rampant in a sea of red.
"Ache, I'm here to save you." Su Zhizhi whipped the skeleton monsters and beat them into pieces, breaking them into pieces of bones.
Xue Che was overjoyed and burst into laughter: "Zhizhi, I'm here!"
As a result, while Su Zhizhi was whipping the skeleton monster, she stepped on a stone and fell, and was then captured by the skeleton monster.
Su Zhizhi was also kidnapped by the skeleton demon and brought to the wedding hall while screaming.
The two of them were desperately held down by the skeleton monsters and bowed ninety-nine times...
"Ah——" Xue Che woke up from his dream, covered in cold sweat.
Ridiculous, such a ridiculous dream.
Xue Che wiped the sweat from his head, found a book from the bedside, and planned to read to calm his nerves.
He was about to light the oil lamp when he glanced out the window.
It was late at night and the autumn moon was high in the sky.
It was still pitch black outside.
But the light in the guest room where Murong Di slept was still on, and two shadows were projected on the window.
One is bigger and the other is smaller.
The smaller shadow was obviously Su Zhizhi at first glance!
Xue Che put on his clothes, walked to Murong Di's door, knocked on the door, and called out, "Brother."
squeak--
Murong Di came over and opened the door, raising his eyebrows:
"Ache, why haven't you slept yet?"
Su Zhizhi sat on the couch and waved to Xue Che:
"Ah Che, come quickly, come quickly~ Let me tell you about the things happening in the capital."
Xue Che walked in and climbed onto Murong Di's bed:
"Zhizhi, you came to talk to me alone, why didn't you call me?"
There was a hint of displeasure in Xue Che's tone. He then lifted the quilt and saw a pile of preserved fruits and melon seeds hidden inside.
He was even more shocked:
"You actually brought snacks to bed to eat. Aunt Ying will definitely be furious if she finds out."
Su Zhizhi quickly stuffed a dried plum into Xue Che's mouth:
"As long as you don't tell me, I won't know."
Murong Di closed the door and said with a smile:
"Don't blame me, Zhizhi. I bought these foods and brought them up the mountain."
Xue Che was about to spit out the dried plums, expressing his determination not to "go along with" Su Zhizhi, but then he heard Su Zhizhi exaggerate:
"Ah Che, I was sleeping soundly, but I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that many skeleton monsters kidnapped you and took you to a wedding ceremony. I went to save you, but I was also captured by the skeleton monsters. Then the skeleton monsters pressed my head down to the wedding ceremony, and my head was about to be crushed... I woke up in shock, and saw that my brother was still awake, so I came to talk to him."
Xue Che's eyes widened when he heard this, and he unconsciously swallowed the dried plums in his mouth.
Murong Di said helplessly:
"Master is really something. He tells you everything. The things taken out of the tomb have strong yin energy. Don't keep them close to your body when you sleep at night."
Su Zhizhi and Xue Che nodded repeatedly.
Su Zhizhi put a piece of pork jerky into her mouth:
"Brother, keep talking. Is studying in Lihe Hall a lot of homework? What kind of people study with you in Lihe Hall?"
Murong Di was just being pestered by Su Zhizhi to talk about the people and things in the capital. Thinking that Su Zhizhi would be leaving for the capital in two days, it would be good to tell her some things.
Zhizhi is very naughty and noisy, but she is also sensible and knows what she can say and what she cannot say.
Murong Di: "The students in Lihe Hall are taught by Grand Tutor Zhang himself. Grand Tutor Zhang has high hopes for his students, and the workload is indeed quite heavy. In addition to the Crown Prince, Princess Ning'an, and several other young princes and princesses, there are also some members of the imperial family who study in Lihe Hall."
Murong Di paused for a moment, a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes.
"If nothing had happened to the Pei family back then and my aunt was still alive, Zhizhi, you would also be studying here."
Su Zhizhi patted her chest, as if she had escaped a disaster:
"I already had a lot of homework assigned by Master Qiu at Mingde Academy. If there were more, I wouldn't have time to play."
Murong Di laughed.
Su Zhizhi asked again:
"Brother, aren't you sad that we're going to deal with your father?"
Murong Di shook his head calmly and said only one sentence:
"Zhizhi, not all biological fathers are worthy of being fathers. In the capital, even a tiger will eat its own cubs."
Xue Che was sensitive and knew that Murong Di was talking to him as well as Su Zhizhi.
He looked at Su Zhizhi and saw that Su Zhizhi was listening very seriously.
"Yeah, what you said makes sense."
Su Zhizhi understood what he meant and nodded.
But her mind was still jumping around as usual, and she thought of irrelevant questions:
"By the way, are there a lot of tigers near the capital?"
Murong Di: ...
