Chuntao hesitated for a few seconds before telling the other party that Bai Ruoyan's body has been parked in the North Courtyard. If she wants to worship, she needs to inform the housekeeper Yue first, and then she will ask the patriarch for the opinions.

Only when the patriarch agrees can he enter the mourning hall.

"Son-in-law, please wait in the house. I will inform you..."

Chuntao half bent down, and before he could finish his words, Li Taiyuan had already stood up and walked out the door.

The two maids hurriedly followed, but saw him turn around and said calmly: "Why are you doing such a trouble? I'll ask myself. Anyway, they should be there at this time."

Chuntao walked aside and led the way for Li Taiyuan.

She looked sideways from time to time and looked at the other person quietly with her after light. Along the way, although Li Taiyuan followed her, Chuntao always had an indescribable strange feeling in her heart.

It was clearly the first time he came to Bai Mansion, but he was very familiar with the road, as if he had been familiar with the terrain here for a long time.

"By the way, your name is Huixiang, right? How old is this year?" Li Taiyuan started talking with Huixiang beside her while walking.

Because the latter could not speak, he could only communicate with him in sign language.

"Ah? You are only 18? In our place, an 18-year-old child should still be in high school. Why did he come out to do things at such a young age?"

Li Taiyuan smiled at Huixiang and said in a gentle tone: "Then have you ever been to school?"

The reason I asked this is because Li Taiyuan remembers that in the previous cycle, Huixiang once wrote words on the ground. The other party's handwriting was elegant and dignified, and it was obviously somewhat cultural.

Sure enough, when he heard this, Huixiang's eyes, who had always been timid, rarely brightened.

She nodded happily and gestured to Li Taiyuan.

Along the way, Li Taiyuan talked to the two of them, most of which were interesting to them.

Of course, this was also what Li Taiyuan searched for the two of them and inferred through the embroidery in the house, and deliberately made it.

After summarizing the previous lessons, Li Taiyuan believes that these two little girls are not very old and are actually the best to start.

Rather than coercion and inducement, increasing their favorability towards themselves should be able to obtain more information.

It turns out that his idea was right.

Seeing his sister so happy, Chuntao's attitude towards Li Taiyuan became closer and closer. Although this new son-in-law was a little strange, he was not bad at all.

When he heard Li Taiyuan ask them how to read, Chuntao's chatterbox also opened:

"The Bai Mansion has a special school for girls in the village. It not only teaches people to learn to read, but also learn musical instruments and female red. Girls will be sent to the Bai Mansion after the age of 15, and after the selection, six outstanding abilities will be screened out.

, They will be trained by the Yue Manager himself, stayed in the North Courtyard, and become the town girl next to the next saint. The rest will be assigned to other courtyards."

Chuntao said that she entered the mansion two years earlier than Huixiang. The two were very close when they were studying in the school. Huixiang's parents died early and they relied on Chuntao in many things. Chuntao has always regarded her as a

Treat your own sister.

When Li Taiyuan heard this, she finally understood: No wonder Huixiang was so timid, but she still chose to stand beside her after knowing that Chuntao became a ghost.

Looking back now, the general meaning of the other party's syllables that he sent to him when he was burned to death should be: "Please save her."

From this we infer that after dinner today, the two maids went to the North Courtyard together.

Huixiang watched Chuntao be swallowed by the evil spirits. After that, they returned to the side courtyard and started killing Chen Bin and his group.

"Actually Huixiang is very smart. When she was in school, her husband praised her for her proficiency in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she must be the best candidate for the town girl. But she heard that I was assigned to the kitchen to do things, so she was in the assessment.

When I was deliberately defeated, I came to accompany me. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have met the third lady in the kitchen later..."

Chuntao became sadder the more she spoke, and her eyes became red.

Huixiang smiled and wiped her tears, telling Chuntao in sign language that she did not regret her original choice. Since she was a good sister, they would have to be together for life and never be separated.

Looking at the innocent appearance of the two girls, Li Taiyuan found that they seemed to know nothing about the tragedy that was about to happen next.

"By the way Chuntao, what are the "saint" and "husband" you just mentioned?" Li Taiyuan asked.

Chuntao explained that Bai family is a descendant of the witch clan and has the unpredictable art of ghosts and gods.

Saints refer to powerful psychics who can communicate and connect with the yin and yang realms and resolve human resentment and cause and effect. Having this ability also means that they are born with a spirit-recruiting constitution and are very likely to attract resentful souls and souls.

Since ancient times, saints have been born from the direct bloodline of the Bai clan.

A hundred years ago, the Bai clan was almost wiped out because of this special ability. In order to avoid the pursuit of enemies, the patriarch at that time specially chose Youmiao Mountain, a special area at the junction of yin and yang, which was extremely chaotic.

Because of the appearance of the Saint, the dead souls in the mountains were calmed down, and the Holy Spring Village and the surrounding villages were always protected and not violated by evil spirits.

When the saint becomes an adult, she will marry the man at the foot of the mountain. The first baby girl born by the saint will often inherit the powerful spiritual power of her mother. She will also take over the position of her mother and become the next saint.

.

The town girl mentioned just now is different from ordinary maids. She specializes in serving the saint's daily life. For girls born in ordinary families, being selected to be a town girl is the supreme glory of the family.

Usually after being appointed by the Yue Butler, the town girl needs to enter the North Courtyard for more stringent training, eat and live with the Saint, and never leave the yard for life.

It was not until the village held the Zhongyuan memorial service every twenty-five years that the village could leave Bai Mansion and follow the saint to the back mountain ancestral hall to perform a mysterious soul-suppressing ceremony.

"According to what you said, Bai Ruoyan has passed away now, isn't the saint absent?"

Thinking of Bai Ruoyan with a sister, Li Taiyuan subconsciously inferred: "The new saint is Bai Muya?"

Unexpectedly, Chuntao shook her head firmly after hearing this: "Miss II can't do it, she doesn't have that qualification. I heard from the old man in the mansion that the saint's body needs to bear extremely heavy resentment and yin energy, and this

The burden will increase as they age.”

"So, from childhood to adulthood, the saint needs to constantly carve cursive patterns on her body through the saint's body to seal and strengthen the resentment in her body. In order to feel the saint's pain, work without distraction. Before the sing, the saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's saint's

The woman also needs to be tattooed with the same curse pattern. It is said that the process of engraving the curse is very painful, and the saint needs to bear the backlash of the curse in her body. If she does not have the blessing of powerful spiritual power, she will die."

After hearing this, Li Taiyuan finally understood why everyone in the Bai family had those strange tattoos.

"What about the previous saint who gave birth to the baby?" Li Taiyuan asked.

Chuntao said that due to his physical condition, the lifespan of saints in all dynasties will not be very long.

In addition, the child born will inherit most of its spiritual power. Often, the saint will die shortly after giving birth due to physical weakness and being resentful in the body.

In order to prevent the curse from spreading, the girl in charge of delivering the child will carve the curse pattern on the newborn, peel off the skin of the previous deceased saint, and take it to the back mountain ancestral hall for a soul-suppressing ceremony.

The husband of the Saint will also go to the back mountain with the town girls. A new group of town girls will take over the job of the pre-supervised town girls and will be responsible for guarding the forbidden area of ​​the Holy Spring Village for life until the next memorial service begins.

"No, as you say so, how could the previous saint give birth to two children?" Li Taiyuan captured the suspicion in Chuntao's words.

The latter looked around and looked around. After confirming that there was no one, he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, the second lady was born to the son-in-law who married into the family and a town girl. After the second lady was born, the son-in-law and the town girl were born.

The patriarch ordered the execution. If it weren't for her being a girl, the Bai family wouldn't have kept her life."

Although he is the second lady in name, Bai Muya is not popular in the Bai family because of her birth.

Li Taiyuan quickly digested this large amount of information, but he didn't expect Chuntao to know so much key information.

In the previous cycle, Chuntao was afraid and wary of herself, and never mentioned anything to him about Bai Ruoyan.

After hearing the information about the ancestral hall, Li Taiyuan hurriedly said, "Will I follow you tomorrow morning?"

He said, deliberately showing a panic and uneasy look, and said worriedly: "Oh, I'm really unlucky. When someone gets married, he can still live a stable life in Bai Mansion for a few years. It's not like me, just now I've entered the door.

My wife died and was arrested the next day to guard the tomb... What's the point of living like this? It's better to die."

"Son-in-law, don't be too impressed."

Seeing his expression, Chuntao couldn't bear it and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, the patriarch and Butler Yue don't seem to have that intention at the moment, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen me and Huixiang to serve you, including the funeral tomorrow morning.
