Chapter 48

"Boom!"

In the garden behind the house.

The air swirls and the dead leaves fly.

In the open space, Luo Qingzhou punches heavily, the wind whistles, and he practices the Thunder Fist from slow to fast.

In the past, he did not come here to practice, one is to fear that he would hurt the flowers and plants and leave too obvious marks; the other is to fear that when he concentrates on practicing, he will not hear someone knocking on the door in the front yard.

There is no way today.

Tonight, the mother-in-law and other people in the Qin Mansion are going to Yueye Tingyu Garden. It is estimated that in the afternoon, the maids and servants will go to the garden to prepare.

He must not practice there again.

The front yard is not suitable either.

When practicing the Thunder Fist, the movement is too loud, and someone can hear it when passing by the door.

So he can only come to the backyard.

But today he does not plan to practice for too long.

After three consecutive times, he stopped after sweating slightly all over.

Return to the front yard.

After boiling hot water in the kitchen, wiping his body, changing into clean clothes, he returned to the room.

Sat down in front of the window.

He closed his eyes and calmed his mind first, then opened the book and read it carefully.

"A gentleman acts according to his position and does not want to go beyond it. If he is rich, he acts in a rich and noble way; if he is poor, he acts in a poor and humble way; if he is among foreigners, he acts among foreigners; if he is in trouble, he acts in trouble. A gentleman is content with everything he enters..."

"Sincerity is self-made, and the way is self-made. Sincerity is the beginning and end of things. Without sincerity, there is nothing. Therefore, a gentleman values ​​sincerity. Sincerity is not just self-made..."

Although Luo Qingzhou had memorized these articles in his mind, he would recite them word by word every time he read them again.

And every time, he seemed to have a new understanding.

After reading "The Doctrine of the Mean", he read "The Analects", "The Book of Changes", "The Book of History", etc.

I have read all of them.

I flipped through the bookshelf next to him and found that the second son of Qin brought him a lot of good books last time.

In addition to the books required for the imperial examination, there are also several strange novels, ghost stories, and widely circulated folk stories.

Luo Qingzhou took them out from the bookshelf, piled them on the desk, and read them one by one.

Soon he was addicted to them.

"There is a volcano outside the southern wilderness, and the fire burns day and night. There is a rat in the fire weighing 100 kilograms, with hair more than two feet long, as thin as silk, which can be made into cloth. It always lives in the fire, and it turns white when it goes out from time to time. It dies when it is driven out and drenched with water. Its hair is taken and woven into cloth..."

"The prince of Changshan is the grandson of the great prosecutor. There are many monsters in his house. I have seen a spring stool in the building, which is flesh-red and very smooth..."

Luo Qingzhou was so excited that he couldn't put it down.

Time passed quietly.

Before he knew it, the sun had set.

When Xiaodie knocked on the door outside, he woke up from the strange and wonderful story in the book.

He looked up and looked out the window. It was already evening.

He calmed down, put away the Sun and Moon Bronze Mirror and the dark blue juice on the mirror, and then went out to open the courtyard door.

Xiaodie was standing outside with food in her hand. When she saw him open the door, she whispered: "Young Master, are you practicing in the house?"

Luo Qingzhou took the food from her hand, walked back to the courtyard and said: "I'm reading. Last time, the second young master Qin sent some books. There were a few very interesting books. I was distracted for a while."

Xiaodie asked curiously: "Young Master, what book is it? Is it good?"

Luo Qingzhou sat down at the stone table in the courtyard and ate while saying: "It tells ghost stories. If you want to listen, I will tell you tonight."

"Ah! No, I don't want to listen..."

Xiaodie was frightened when she heard that it was about ghosts and monsters, and waved her hands repeatedly.

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"

Xiaodie said with a bitter face, "Of course I am afraid, who doesn't fear ghosts?"

Luo Qingzhou said, "Have you seen a ghost?"

Xiaodie shook her head quickly, "No... I haven't seen a ghost. If I had, I would have been scared to death."

Luo Qingzhou looked at her frightened face and thought of the words he had just read in the book.

"The weaker the body, the more timid, and the more guilty, the easier it is to see ghosts. Ghosts belong to yin, and they love to haunt women with heavy yin, men with weak yang, people with diseases, and people who are panic-stricken and timid when walking alone in the dark..."

"Ghosts are afraid of strong yang; ghosts are afraid of strong blood, and ghosts are afraid of strong courage...If you encounter ghosts, overcome the fear in your heart, don't be afraid, bravely shout, and the other party will retreat..."

There are warriors and monsters in this world. I wonder if there are really ghosts?

Luo Qingzhou thought secretly in his heart and lowered his head to eat.

This little girl is timid, so I can't talk to her about these things anymore, lest she have nightmares at night.

With his current blood and qi, even if he encounters ghosts, they probably won't dare to approach him.

Thinking of ghosts, ghosts, and wandering souls who lost consciousness in the dark, lonely and wandering, he suddenly remembered his mother.

After his mother was killed, she couldn't be buried in the Luo family tomb because of her low status.

At that time, no one in the Luo family was willing to give up a small piece of land for him to bury his mother.

The eldest lady said something, and he always remembered it: How could such a lowly woman dirty our Luo family's land? If she affects the feng shui of our Luo family, she will be reincarnated as a cow or a horse in the next life, and it will be difficult to forgive her sin!

So in the end, he had to bury his mother in the mountains and forests outside the city.

And that mountain forest is only a few kilometers away from the village where his mother and he used to live.

When people in that village die, they are sometimes buried in that mountain forest.

So my mother can be said to have returned to her hometown and rest in peace.

However, the hatred brought by this incident has always been buried deep in his heart.

Thinking about it now, he still gritted his teeth in hatred.

The Luo family's actions, as well as the cold-bloodedness and meanness of the eldest lady and Luo Yannian, are deeply engraved in his bones. Even if his soul is changed, it is difficult to forget.

This hatred, as well as the murder of his mother, he will remember it well!

But...

I don't know if my mother has been buried, as the book says, because she died unjustly and couldn't let go of him and became a wronged soul, wandering alone in the dark night, or if she has already been reincarnated and reborn as a human again.

Thinking of this, Luo Qingzhou has lost his appetite.

If he can open his eyes to see ghosts and ghosts as recorded in the book, how great it would be.

In that case, he will not be afraid.

He will go to his mother's grave, go to that mountain forest, and take a good look.

Maybe he can see that weak and pitiful woman again, see that familiar and kind face, and then talk to her, chat with her, and accompany her gently.

Even though she no longer had a body and no memory...

Luo Qingzhou finished his meal while thinking about it.

At this time.

Night had already fallen.

A full moon rose in the sky.

The courtyard was illuminated by a white snow.

Luo Qingzhou returned to the room, took out the bronze mirror with the sun and moon from under the bed, placed it on the desk in front of the window with the moon carved on it facing up, and prepared to light a lamp to continue reading.

The bright moonlight poured in through the window lattice and fell into the mirror, and the moonlight in the mirror became dark and blurred.

Luo Qingzhou glanced at it casually and was suddenly stunned.

He thought he had seen it wrong.

He stretched his head all the way over again, facing the mirror, blocking the moonlight outside the window, and just like before, he could not see himself in the mirror!

He was stunned, and quickly picked up the bronze mirror on the table and turned it to himself again.

He stood with his back to the window, and the moonlight fell on him, and fell on the dark mirror with the moon carved on it with his cheek.

He suddenly appeared in the mirror again.

But that face was not only eerie and strange, but also twisted and fluttered like mist.

It looked extremely hideous and terrifying!
