Infinite true path

Huan Yin left the teahouse. Although it was already dark now, he decided to rush to the Gao family immediately, because Sister Jiujiu must be there. Moreover, the leader said that the Gao family was a bit evil, which made Huan Yin very uncomfortable. Sister Jiujiu must not have anything happen to her.

The journey of more than thirty miles would take some time for a mortal to reach, even if he was riding a horse. However, after Huan Yin left the city, he found a remote place and flew directly on the silver shuttle. Therefore, before Xu Shi passed, Huan Yin saw the Gao family on the ground from a distance.

The reason why Huan Yin could recognize the Gao family below at a glance from the air was because there was only such a big family in this place more than thirty miles west of the city. Moreover, this large family is a manor built on a mountain, covering a huge area. Even the Huan family's mansion in the city is probably less than half its size. Therefore, according to what the leader said, this is probably the Gao family.

This is the first time Huan Yin has seen such a manor. It has an aura that is as if it is entrenched in the mountains. Although it cannot be compared with the Xian family, among mortals, this is already considered a giant. Even if this place is not as wealthy as the Huan family was in its heyday, it is probably not much different. My sister seems to be a good match when she marries here. However, I have lived in Jingzhou for many years, and I didn't even know that there was a Gao family here. It seems that the Gao family is indeed as the leader said, and rarely interacts with the outside world.

At this moment, there were very few lights on in the huge manor, only a few stars, giving people a gloomy feeling. There were very few people in the manor still active outside. I don’t know if it was because the Gao family was from a mountain family, so they went to bed earlier.

Huan Yin slowly descended from the air to the ground, then he put away the silver shuttle and slowly walked towards the main entrance of the manor that he saw in the air. After a while, the courtyard wall that followed the undulating mountains appeared in front of Huan Yin. This courtyard wall was very high. It seemed that it was deliberately raised because the manor was located in the mountains.

In the middle of the courtyard wall, there is a tall courtyard gate. This courtyard gate is apparently more than twenty feet high. The courtyard door was completely dark, and Huan Yin could tell at a glance that it was made of fine iron. On the top of the door is a large word "高" written in wild cursive and gilded. It has a domineering meaning, as if it is declaring its sovereignty over the mountains and wilderness.

The thick black iron door seems to be pressing in front of the eyes, making people feel a sense of depression. Especially the word "Gao" at the top seems to be coming at you, as if to warn those who want to enter here that the Gao family is not someone to be trifled with.

Huan Yin walked to a big drum outside the door, picked up the drumstick and banged it three times. This drum is used to knock on the door of the Gao family, because the fine iron door is so thick that it is impossible to knock it with ordinary strength.

After beating the drum, Huan Yin stood aside and waited quietly. About ten breaths later, Huan Yin remembered that there was a "squeaking" metal sound on the door in front of him. It was easy to tell that the sound came from the pulling of the chain and the rotation of the gears. Then, as the sound rang out, the heavy door opened slightly. Then, the gap enlarged little by little, and the scene in the courtyard was slowly revealed.

The gate of the Gao family is like the gate of a city tower, which is pulled open by a device. Thinking about it, no one can directly push open this heavy fine iron door. However, the Gao family's door is so impressive that anyone who comes here will probably feel a little in awe at first.

When the door opened, a man who looked to be in his fifties and dressed as an old servant appeared there. When he looked outside the door, he found that there was only a young man standing there, and his brows suddenly furrowed. The Gao family is a wealthy family in this area and rarely interacts with the outside world. Therefore, except for a few people who dare to beat the drum outside when they see the Gao family's door, the drum is quiet most of the time. What's more, it's getting late now, and there are only a few people who dare to knock on the door of the Gao family.

At this moment, I don’t know where this young man came from, but he dared to disturb me at this time. Looking at the indifferent expression on the young man's face, it was obvious that he was not impressed by the aura of the Gao family at all. He really didn't know how high the world was.

The old servant stood inside the door and finally asked, "My child, why are you knocking on the door?" The old servant's tone was obviously a little unkind. It seemed that the Gao family did not like to interact with outsiders.

Huan Yin originally wanted to ask about Sister Jiujiu's whereabouts, but the moment the door of Gao's house opened, he felt something was wrong. Naturally, he was not shocked by the momentum of the mortal door, but as soon as the Gao family's courtyard door opened, there was a Yin Qi blowing in his face. Naturally, mortals cannot detect this yin energy, but Huan Yin, as a monk, can sense it immediately.

Looking at the old servant standing in the door now, his face is filled with death, which is obviously caused by the lack of vitality due to the yang energy being captured. Moreover, when the old servant opened his mouth, there was a faint fishy smell. Even though Huan Yin was so far away from the old servant at the moment, he could still detect the smell - it was the smell of corpse!

How could a living person have the smell of corpse, how could he have the aura of death? Both of these things can only be found in dead or dying people. Of these two types of people, the former cannot move and the latter cannot move. How can they still open the door to greet guests like the old servant in front of me? of?

I am afraid that the Gao family is not just a simple evil sect, but there is something ghostly in the Gao family. Huan Yin once read in the pavilion books that the spirit is divided into six realms and there are three realms. There is a ghost in hell, called the hungry ghost, who wanders around hell all year round.

Hungry ghosts are evil-looking ghosts who were cast into hell due to their many evil deeds in their previous lives. The hungry ghost Taoists endure the pain of lingering in the darkness and being hungry and thirsty all year round. This was originally the punishment given to them by reincarnation, but it resulted in the bad behavior of all sentient beings in this realm. Especially if hungry ghost Taoists come to the human world, the yang energy in living people is their best tonic. Yang Qi not only allows them to stay in the human world all year round without losing their souls, but it can also replace the demonic Qi from hell and allow them to practice.

You know, although the spirits in the human world can rely on spiritual energy and spiritual stones to practice, the beings in the hell realm can only rely on the demonic energy and magic crystals of hell to practice. If a Taoist from hell crosses over to the human world, if he still wants to practice, he can only rely on absorbing the yang energy from living people. This is especially true for monks, because as their cultivation level increases, their lifespan will continue to increase, and their yang energy will increase accordingly. Therefore, if the hell Taoists come to the human world, they will definitely find ways to find Yang Qi, which is what mortals commonly call "ghosts eating people."

Naturally, the old servant didn't know what Huan Yin was thinking at this moment, nor did he know that his current state was not far from death. He just saw that after he asked, the young man opposite him changed from being indifferent at first to a thoughtful and solemn expression. He stood there as if thinking about something, but didn't pay attention to what he meant, so the old servant spoke angrily. To: "What kind of kid dares to come to the Gao family and act wild? Do you think the Gao family's door drum is your family's dining table? Can you bang it and play with it?"

Huan Yin came to his senses when he heard the old servant's angry voice. This old servant was already in trouble himself, but he still looked after others with an air of dignity. He was really confused. Then, Huan Yin's face became solemn and he said, "Are you feeling weak recently and your limbs are sore and weak?"

The old servant was startled and subconsciously asked: "How do you know?"

"You asked all the doctors but couldn't find a solution?" Huan Yin ignored the old servant's question and continued.

The old servant thought to himself: Did he meet an expert today? Immediately he said: "Yes, the doctor in my house has excellent medical skills that few others can match, but he can't tell what kind of disease I have. Moreover, even he..."

"And even he has the same strange disease as you. His breath is thick, accompanied by a fishy odor, his face is lifeless, and his complexion is extremely poor. Moreover, it is not just the two of you, but everyone in your house has this disease!" Huan Yin! A low shout made the old servant look shocked. He pointed at Huan Yin and opened his mouth wide but could not speak.

Finally, the old servant came to his senses, ran out of the gate, knelt down in front of Huan Yin, and shouted: "Please help me, master!"

Huan Yin helped the old servant up from the ground and said again: "I have three more questions. Tell them truthfully and I will help you."

At this moment, in the eyes of this old servant, Huan Yin was like an immortal descended from heaven. How could he dare to show any contempt at all? He kept saying, "Exalted man, please speak. Master, please ask me. I will definitely tell you everything I know." "

Huan Yin nodded and asked first: "The young master here is named Gao and Renshui?"

The old servant didn't think twice and answered directly: "Yes, Master Renshui is the only son of the eldest master. He is twenty this year and his full name is Gao Renshui."

"Did Gao Renshui recently marry Huan Jiujiu, the daughter of the Huan family?"

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Jiujiu just got married last year, and she has been married for exactly one year."

"Is she... okay?" When he asked this question, Huan Yin's heart tightened. The Gao Mansion was haunted, and his sister might not be immune to it either.

When the old servant heard this question, he felt a little embarrassed on his face: "I am the gatekeeper and don't know much about the affairs of the inner palace. But the day before yesterday, Mrs. Jiujiu came to the front door of the mansion. At that time, I saw her Her complexion is similar to that of everyone else in the house, and she is obviously suffering from the same strange disease as the old man. Fortunately, Mrs. Jiujiu is young and energetic, and her spirits are much better than those of us who are older."

Huan Yin finally felt relieved when he heard that Sister Jiujiu was fine. He is going to find Sister Jiujiu now, first to exorcise her ghost spirit, and then to see what is going on in this Gao Mansion.

"Take me to see her. If you see her, I will treat you." Huan Yin said with determination and stepped into the palace.

Sister Jiujiu is right in front of you!
