During those days of his previous life, Gu Yanfei almost never left his home and didn't know much about some things in the capital.

She only knew that first, the eldest grandson of the Anding Marquis' Mansion suddenly died, bleeding from his mouth and nose, followed by the young master of the Right Minister of Rites, and then the two girls from the Shaoqing family of Taichang Temple...

First there were children, and later even adults were infected, and more and more people died, including noble court officials and civilians.

At first, only three or four died a day, but later hundreds of people died almost every day. The government reported that it was a plague and told everyone not to go out to avoid contagious one another.

During that time, the capital was shrouded in fear of death, and was afraid that the next one would be my turn.

At that time, the government drove all those infected with the plague outside the city, and circled a village to guard by officers and soldiers, allowing them to fend for themselves. It was Princess Kang, Gu Yunhao, who ignored his safety and went to the plague village to eat and live with the patients, and turned the tide to wipe out the plague that could cause the death of tens of thousands of people.

Countless people in the capital were grateful for the kindness of Princess Kang, and they all spontaneously ran to the gate of Princes Kang's mansion to kowtow to her. There were crowds of people, and many even offered tablets of immortality to her.

These things were pieced together by Gu Yanfei's previous life from chatting between maids and mothers in the Marquis' Mansion.

Turning the tide? Gu Yanfei's lips curled up a faint smile, and his eyes fell on the dense snowflakes outside the window.

There is almost no spiritual energy in this small world, and it is impossible for Mrs. Murong to be refined.

A mortal is dead when he dies. If the corpse is corrupt, it will produce corpse poison. The longer the time, the more toxic the corpse poison in the corpse will be.

Mrs. Murong is different from the ordinary dead people, and her corpse poison is even more intense.

It was summer, with many flies and mosquitoes.

Children are weak and are most likely to be infected by corpse poison, and the poison is the fastest, so the child dies at the beginning, and the reaction of adults after being infected with corpse poison will be one or two days slower than that of children, the fastest one day, and the slowest three or four days. Those who are infected with corpse poison will gradually die...

"Huh?" Gu Yanfei stopped and blinked with his hands stroking his chin.

The dense snowflakes outside instantly had countless light spots, like a dazzling galaxy pouring down from the night sky, and like a god in the clouds sprinkled a handful of treasures...

Thousands of light spots rushed towards her from all directions, reflecting the bright light in the courtyard.

It is a merit.

Gu Yanfei's eyes suddenly became bright like stars, like a cat stealing fishy fish, proud and satisfied.

She avoided a disaster that was about to kill thousands of people, which was the merit given back to her by the way of heaven.

Hmm.

Although the way of heaven in this small world is not very pleasing, it is still quite generous.

Thousands of firefly-like light spots soon gathered beside Gu Yanfei and sank into her body, nourishing the internal organs and unblocking the meridians throughout the body, making her feel refreshed.

Gu Yanfei blinked and immediately felt the gains of this time.

Her eyes could see more clearly, and she could even see every petal of a red plum in the wind and snow.

Merit is indeed more effective than any magical pill!

"What?" Gu Yuan looked out the window in confusion, thinking that there was something wrong in the courtyard. "What are you looking at?"

Gu Yanfei was still savoring the changes in his body. He took a beat to come back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm watching a cat."

Gu Yuan didn't see any cats in the courtyard.

“Meow!”

The next moment, I heard a familiar cat moan from the other side of the blue brick wall.

A ball of hair jumped onto the wall, light and steady. The three-cat cat who had been out for a long time finally felt willing to come back.

It looked more energetic than before going out, with its long hair fluffy and shiny all over its body, as if it had suddenly grown up.

This time she has achieved merit, so is the cat.

However, the cat seemed to be in a bad mood. She lowered her head and sniffed the long hair on her body. The round cat face wrinkled, showing a disgusting and disgusting expression.

The cat subconsciously stuck out his tongue and wanted to lick his hair, but then he stopped thinking about something, and his pink tongue was half exposed.

It...it's dirty and smelly!

A layer of snow had accumulated on the walls and the ground. The cat jumped into the snow pile and rolled, covering the snow.

Gu Yanfei looked at the "icing cat", couldn't help but curl his lips and smiled happily.

When Gu Yuan saw Gu Yanfei happy to see the cat, he also smiled, his eyebrows and eyes soft.

It’s good to keep such a kitten to make your sister smile!

Gu Yuan said intriguedly: "Sister, your cat is really leathery."

Although Gu Yanfei also thought her cat was very savory, she felt that Qingguang was a little innocent today.

The Murong family is really smelly!

Thinking of this, Gu Yanfei couldn't help but sigh: "It's so pitiful!"

"The dead are forcibly left in the world, and what is consumed is the soul... and the merits of the past lifetimes."

Mrs. Murong's soul has been defected and will be reborn in the animal realm in the next life. It will take at least a few reincarnations to replenish the soul bit by bit and be reborn as a human being.

Everything in this world has to be paid.

The same is true for the Murong family and the Shangqing Zhen people.

Gu Yuan also vaguely heard Gu Yanfei saying that Mrs. Murong was pitiful and did not comment.

"Qingguang, you're back. I've been looking for you for a long time!" Juan Bi jogged from a certain direction, happily hugged the cat in the snow, and exclaimed, "How come you smell?"

"Qingguang, I'll wash it for you. After washing it, you will smoke the hair with a smoked cage and you will become fragrant again!"

Juanbi held the cat gently and kept talking flatteringly, but couldn't get the cat's response.

The word "stinky" she just said that the cat is autistic.

The three-cat cat closed its eyes and was lying in Juanbi's arms.

The man and the cat left quickly, leaving only the footprints of the human and the cat in the snow.

The courtyard became empty again, but the wind and snow were still there.

Gu Yanfei looked in the direction of Murong Mansion for a while, then turned toward the direction of the ancestral hall and said, "Once the soul is damaged, it must be nourished for a long time."

After pausing for a moment, a hint of sadness was stained with Gu Yanfei's calm tone: "So are our biological grandmothers."

"As a substitute, she should have lost her soul, but now she has managed to save a trace of her soul."

"But it's just a little bit."

substitute……

Even though Gu Yuan had some speculations in his mind, he was still a little unbelievable when he heard Gu Yanfei say this.

Their own grandmother turned out to be Mrs. Gu’s substitute!

Things that happened over the years since his father passed away instantly flashed through his mind, and the waves of storm were stirring up in Gu Yuan's eyes.

He took a deep breath, held the armrest of the chair with one hand, calmed down, and then he asked clearly, "Sister, what is a 'stand-in'?"

Gu Yanfei's words when he was in the ancestral hall were more about the person involved, Mrs. Gu, who knew it well, while outsiders were confused.

Gu Yuan could only guess four or five points.

"Stand-in-one and joy are both Taoist methods of fortune." Gu Yanfei's faint voice could not hear joy and anger. "If someone has many disasters and difficulties, you can find a blood relative who is in harmony with the eight characters and replace his substitute with one life."

"Our grandmother is the substitute of the Taima and her blood relative."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan's eyes became deeper and gradually calmed down, and he guessed: "Sister, our grandmother's surname is Qi?"

Gu Yanfei nodded affirmatively and gently fiddled with the compass she placed on the desk.

The room was silent for a moment, and large swaths of snowflakes were blown in from the window by the bleak cold wind.

Gu Yanfei lowered his eyes and looked at the snowflakes on the desk turning into crystal water droplets, remembering the past events that Gu Yunzhen told her in the ancestral hall last night: After his father was born, his grandfather fell seriously ill, and after that, his relationship with the grandmother was not good.

I think it was at that time that she and her brother's biological grandmother passed away.

What happened more than thirty years ago?!

Gu Yanfei's heart tightened slightly, and some ripples appeared in his heart. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She has clearly seen enough grudges, love, hatred, joy, sorrow, and reunion that she has seen for two hundred years in the Yaoling Realm. No matter how miserable, bizarre, or thrilling stories, she has experienced them, but she still cannot calm down when facing things related to her.

After a while of silence, Gu Yanfei's mood returned to calm, and then said, "The 'Standard Talisman' is drawn with the blood of the substitute. Logically speaking, it should not be able to leave the master. Now it is placed in the tablet of his grandfather and worshipped by the descendants of Gu's family."

"It's probably done by my grandfather."

More than thirty years have passed, and people have changed completely. I am afraid that only the Taima herself knows the details.

However, there were not no clues to be found in the past.

"I will always know." Gu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed Gu Yanfei's soft hair, curled his lips and smiled. His gentle smile turned away the frost between his eyebrows and eyes, "I'm there!"

His voice is that you are your sister, why are you worried about?

Gu Yanfei also smiled, with a bit of pride in his smile, and nodded seriously:

"Well, there's an older brother!"

She is not alone, she has an older brother.

The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, and their smiles were equally warm.

Gu Yuan did not comfort Gu Yanfei casually, and he did have some clues in his mind.

After all, he knew much more about the Gu family's past than Gu Yanfei. His great-grandfather and grandfather should have been in Xizhou thirty-seven or eight years ago, and his grandfather was also a relative in Xizhou, so if you want more clues, you have to send someone to Xizhou.

There is also the Qi family. If their grandmother is really the blood relative of the Tai Madam, then isn’t anyone in the Qi clan really knowing her existence?

Not necessarily.

Since a person has existed, it cannot be easily erased!

Gu Yanfei smiled and tilted his head, and said, "It's better to keep my grandmother's soul in the ancestral hall first, and wait for the opportunity..."
