"This Nanny Zeng is part of Lady Zhao's dowry. She has been ordered around for many years and her identity is not ordinary. Why would she sneak into my room at night and talk to the servant girls about spying on me? Lady Zhao is indeed up to no good. But what do I have that is worth her spying on? Let's listen to what they are talking about. "
Hong Yi's spirit left his body and saw such a thing. He sneered in his heart and floated over.
He wanted to see what a small scholar like him had that was worth Lady Zhao's attention. She actually sent out her important people.
"The gods are watching. Schemes and craftiness are definitely known by the gods. This sentence is not without reason. "
Hong Yi thought in his heart. His soul had left his body, so he could be considered a ghost. The first time he heard Hong Gui plot against him, the second time he heard of Nanny Zeng and the servant girl's conspiracy. It was simply a true portrayal of what the books said, 'the gods are watching from above'.
"He is sitting on the bed now. I don't know if he is asleep or doing something else. I don't see him practicing martial arts." The servant girl heard Nanny Zeng's question and quickly answered what she noticed.
Of course, all of this was heard by Hong Yi.
"En, you have to pay close attention to his movements. If there is anything unusual, you have to report it to me, and then I will tell Madam. Find a chance to look through his clothes, books, and see if there is anything unusual. You are all smart maids, so there is no need for me to instruct you too much about this."
"Nanny Zeng, don't worry. I guarantee that even if he loses a hair, I will know and report it to you." The servant girl looked towards the inner room and said shrewdly.
"Search my things? Fortunately, I have seen the martial scriptures and burned them. I have to pay attention to the Amitabha Sutra. If this group of despicable people finds out, there will be endless trouble. "Hong Yi was moved and felt a little lucky.
Although he was a careful person, these four servant girls served him every day and had evil intentions. If he was not careful, he might really find the Amitabha Sutra.
But now that he heard it, it was a warning. Hong Yi was secretly on guard.
"From today onwards, your monthly allowance will be increased to ten taels of silver a month." Nanny Zeng said.
"Thank you for your gift, Madam." The serving maid hurriedly thanked Madam Zhao. Although Madam Zhao wasn't present, the serving maid was still very respectful, "But from the looks of that kid, it seems that he doesn't intend to stay in the mansion for long. Next month will be the imperial examinations. If he passes the examinations and becomes a High Scholar, he will definitely move out. What should we do then? I heard that he has some literary talent, so he must be quite confident in the exam. "
"You are very smart to be able to see through his thoughts. When I return, I will report to Madam and she will reward you well." Nanny Zeng exclaimed in admiration. Her tone turned cold. "Of course I won't let him pass. Does he have any literary talent …"
"Do you want me to tamper with the food? That way, he won't be able to participate in the imperial examination, "the maid said.
"There's no need for that. It's easy to give yourself away, and it's too obvious. On the contrary, you have to serve her well every meal so that no one can find fault with you." Granny Zeng's face darkened strangely. She opened her mouth and chuckled, "Hehe … I have my ways. There's still a month until the imperial examinations. This month, if he has nightmares day and night, haunted by vengeful spirits, and his soul is severely injured, let's see how he can take the imperial examinations. "
The dim moonlight, the corner of the wall, and the old woman's strange and gloomy smile. All of this made Granny Zeng look like a demon.
When the serving maid saw Granny Zeng's gloomy face, she jumped in fright.
"Go, don't let him find out anything. This kid is also very smart and not a simple person. From the fact that he secretly got to know Princess Zhennan, I can tell that he's a very scheming person. "Granny Zeng waved her hand.
"I will pay attention." The serving maid nodded and walked lightly into the room.
"From what I can see, his martial arts cultivation has only reached the stage of muscles, and it's still very shallow. However, this little bit of Qi and blood won't be of much use against the bewilderment of the soul. However, if he continues to cultivate, his Qi and blood will become stronger over time, and I'm afraid he won't be able to suppress it. Forget it, I'll let him have nightmares for a month first and injure his soul. What can he do to me if I injure his soul without him knowing?"
After the serving maid entered the room, Granny Zeng smiled sinisterly and muttered to herself. She walked to a hidden corner behind the rockery, sat down, and closed her eyes.
"Hmm?"
Hong Yi knew that Granny Zeng was meditating and coming out of her shell.
Hong Yi had also clearly seen Granny Zeng's smug expression when she muttered to herself. When she heard that she wanted to let him have nightmares every night and injure his soul, he knew that she was someone who cultivated in the soul arts.
"Sorcerer! How dare you harm me! Who said that I'm cultivating in the Immortal Dao? Even if I'm not cultivating, I'm full of righteousness. I don't do anything shameful, I'm not crafty, and I'm a sage. How can you bewitch me? "
Hong Yi's heart surged with an irrepressible anger.
Although Hong Yi had some small success in cultivating the divine soul technique, and his divine soul could roam at night or even during the day, he could do many illegal things by relying on this ability. However, Hong Yi had never done it. He only cultivated to strengthen his divine soul and roamed around to familiarize himself with the 'water'. At most, he would watch Hong Xuejiao practice her fist techniques. This was a normal thing.
Both of them cultivated the soul. If one used the ability to come out of his shell to play tricks, he would be a sorcerer of the evil path. On the other hand, guarding himself, strengthening his soul, and roaming the heavens and earth was the righteous path of the Immortal Dao.
This was a difference that Hong Yi was well aware of since he had been studying since he was young.
Hong Yi especially hated and despised such scoundrels and ghosts.
"Hmm?"
Just as Hong Yi was filled with hatred and anger, Granny Zeng, who was meditating on the ground, seemed to sense something. She opened her eyes and looked over.
Hong Yi immediately flashed into the room and returned his soul to his body. At the same time, he laid down to take a nap.
He wanted to see how this Granny Zeng would deal with him.
Her martial arts skills were far above Hong Yi's. Since she wanted to harm him, Hong Yi had to be careful.
"Was that an illusion? It seemed like someone was peeping on me with a wandering soul? It's a pity that I haven't reached the Xiantian Martial Master realm. Otherwise, with my strong blood qi, I would be able to see any wandering soul clearly. "
Granny Zeng didn't find anything. She closed her gloomy eyes and entered the realm of visualization.
About four hours later, the Marquis's Residence quieted down. It was late at night. Granny Zeng's head moved. Her breathing and heartbeat calmed down. It was obvious that her soul had left her body.
At the same time, Hong Yi was lying down to take a nap. Suddenly, he heard the whistling sound of the wind. It blew against the door, as if a ghost was crying. At the same time, moonlight shone in through the window. Shadows twisted as if they were crawling on the ground, struggling to get up!
The wind blew and the shadows twisted under the moonlight. They were crawling on the ground, struggling to get up! This feeling was so strange that it could scare people out of their wits.
"Is this the Art of Hypnosis?"
Hong Yi clearly knew that he hadn't opened his eyes. How could he see the shadows of the moon twisting in the room? This must be an illusion.
But this illusion was too real. If one didn't know the details and wasn't prepared, they wouldn't be able to tell it was real and fake.
Hong Yi understood and wanted to open his eyes to see what it was like. But suddenly, he couldn't control his limbs and couldn't open his eyes at all.
It was like a person who was stunned by a nightmare. He knew that the dream was fake, but he just couldn't wake up!
This feeling was helplessness and panic.
"The void is vast. I sit in the center. Thousands of worlds pass in an instant. Everything is fabricated." Hong Yi didn't panic. He cultivated the Amitabha Sutra and experienced much more powerful illusions than this. He sneered in his heart and suddenly immersed himself in the realm of being one with the Amitabha Buddha.
There was a bright light in the void!
Hong Yi felt his soul jump out. The golden light from his body was intense, like the explosion of the sun. It evaporated all the ghosts in the room.
He opened his eyes and the moonlight shone in. It was very quiet. Where were the ghosts and the sound of the wind? There was no golden light either.
Everything just now was a battle of illusions and thoughts.
At the same time, Hong Yi heard a shrill scream from the rockery outside the room. It sounded like a wounded beast.
