"It's been a day, it's been a day, haven't you found the Seventh Young Master yet?"
In the ghost building, Huo Skull stared at Yin Toad, the flames on his body rising and falling.
"No... not yet." Yin Toad trembled.
"Trash." Huo Skull cursed.
Yin Fu argued, "This...it's not the kid's fault. The kid really tried his best."
"The kid has sent hundreds of disciples, disciples, and kid to look for the Seventh Young Master. They have searched almost all over Fengdu, but they can't find the Seventh Young Master, not even any clues."
"Little devil... there's nothing the little devil can do!"
"There is no other way. If there is no other way, just find a way for me. If I can't find the Seventh Young Master, you and I will just wait until our souls are gone!"
Huo Skull said angrily, "Hurry up and go find him."
"Yes...yes...you kid, go now." The Yin Toad turned into a gust of wind and floated outward.
But just halfway through the float, the Yin Toad in the air suddenly screamed, and the Yin Wind and the Yin Toad seemed to have been eroded by something, becoming decayed and rotten, and a corpse smell wafted through the air.
Yin Feng and Yin Toad were originally dead things, but at this moment, Yin Feng and Yin Toad seemed to be living creatures, decaying and decaying, and even corpse spots appeared on Yin Feng and Yin Toad.
As the corpse spots continued to spread, the screams of the Yin Toad became weaker and weaker. Finally, when the corpse spots covered the entire Yin Toad's body, the Yin Toad stopped screaming and disappeared, leaving only wisps of rich fragrance in the air. The smell of corpses.
"No need to work anymore..."
Then, an old and steady voice sounded in the house.
Hearing this voice, Huo Skull trembled, and patches of corpses appeared on his flame. The flame was rapidly declining and decaying.
"Eldest...eldest Young Master, why are you here..."
"If I don't come, how long are you going to hide it?" The moment the voice rang out, a smelly, rotting corpse water seeped out from the floor in the house, with corpses floating in the corpse water.
Immediately afterwards, a body as short as a child climbed up from the corpse water.
The child wore a black shroud, a round melon-pipe hat, and a long braid.
However, although the other party looks like a child and has fair and tender skin, his face is covered with corpse spots and his body smells of corpse.
"The... eldest son..." Huo Guan looked at the child who appeared, his voice kept trembling, "Old slave... I don't understand, lord... what are you talking about?"
"No, you understand." The eldest son said slowly, "The Yin Toad is not good at guarding the ghost warehouse. He lost the Yin gold and concealed it without repaying it. He tried to deceive the landlord. He should be punished by death."
"Skull, you don't want to do the same, do you?"
"I'm wrong, I'm wrong. My lord, please spare my life. I don't dare to do it anymore!" The fire skull fell from the air to the ground and touched the ground with its head, making a thumping sound, as if it was kowtowing.
The body of the eldest son is a corpse boy. The corpse boy feeds on dead corpses. The death energy on his body is extremely terrifying and can corrode and rot anything. Any thing that the death energy corrodes or rots, whether it is a living thing or a dead thing, no matter tangible. Still without quality, you can feel endless pain.
"Losing Yinjin, concealing it, being stupid and ignorant, everything is a capital crime. Why don't you give me a reason not to kill you?" the corpse boy said calmly.
Hearing what the corpse boy said, Huo Skull kept trembling and said hurriedly, "Master... Master, I already know who took the Yin Gold, and I can get it back soon."
"You mean Xiao Qi took it?" The corpse boy looked down at the fire skull at his feet and said sarcastically.
Huo Gu did not hear the sarcasm in the corpse fairy tale, and hurriedly recounted his guess: "So, the Seventh Young Master must have secretly taken away the Yin Gold, but don't worry, Eldest Young Master, the old slave has already sent someone to go there."
I'm looking for the Seventh Young Master, and I'll find him soon. "
"That's why I said you are stupid and ignorant. You are really hopelessly stupid." Corpse Boy still said in the same slow and low tone.
No matter how stupid Huo Gu was, he still heard the sarcasm in the other person's tone, and said in shock, "My... eldest son, is there something wrong?"
"It's not just wrong, it's completely wrong." The corpse boy said, "No matter how courageous Xiao Qi is, he would not dare to take anything from the ghost vault without the permission of his foster father."
"Then...then who can take away the Yin Gold from the ghost vault silently?" Huo Gu was confused. Could it be that all his wonderful reasoning turned out to be nonsense? "Could it be that some expert really took those Yin Golds?" Yinjin?”
"You're just stupid. You're still pretending to be smart. I don't know how you became the manager of the ghost building?"
The corpse boy said, "You just said that someone entered the ghost vault and took away the Yin Gold. Why don't you think about it, maybe the Yin Gold was not lost in the Ghost Vault, but was lost before it was put into the vault."
"This is impossible!" Huoguan said resolutely, "I have been watching today's Yin Gold before it was put into storage, and I have checked it several times. There will definitely be no problem."
"What can't you do? There are many things in this world that you can't imagine." Corpse Boy said slowly, "In fact, the responsibility for what happened today does not lie with Yin Fu, but with you."
"Old slave...elder master, I don't understand what you are talking about?" Huo Guan said in an aggrieved tone.
"Do you think I am wronging you?" The corpse boy looked disdainful. The corpse water under his feet wrapped the fire skull, and then the corpse water seeped into the ground again and disappeared.
The next moment, a piece of corpse water seeped out from the ground in the ghost warehouse, revealing the corpse boy and the fire skull.
"Have you checked the ghost library?" Corpse Boy asked.
"After inspection, there is nothing abnormal in the ghost library. The door lock is intact and the restriction has not been triggered." Huo Gu said.
The corpse boy asked, "Didn't you realize that there are some extra things in the ghost library?"
"There's something extra? What thing?" Huo Skull was puzzled.
The corpse boy walked up to several insect corpses and said, "There are a few more insect corpses. Look, isn't it?"
"Insect corpses?" The fire skeleton floated in front of the insect corpses and said in shock, "That's true, no, there are restrictions in the ghost library, there can't be insects."
There are various rare and rare treasures stored in the ghost vault, so there are special restrictions. Creatures such as insects, mosquitoes and flies cannot enter at all. Otherwise, if a rare treasure is bitten, it will suffer heavy losses.
It's just that the corpses of these bugs were too small and not concentrated in the same place, so he and Yin Toad didn't notice them before.
"It's a little strange that these bugs appear in the ghost library." Huo Juan asked doubtfully, "But what does this have to do with the loss of Yinjin?"
The corpse boy said, "Not only is it related, but these bugs are the culprits of Yinjin disappearing out of thin air."
"Do you know what these bugs are?"
Huo Skull was still immersed in the shock of the previous sentence. When he heard the corpse boy's question, he subconsciously said, "Wha...what?"
"These bugs are called bug gold. They are a very rare monster in the world." Corpse Boy replied, "Chong Gold, as the name suggests, is a kind of bug that can turn into gold."
"Insect gold is extremely weak and has no attack power, but it can turn into gold. No one can tell the difference between the gold it turns into."
"However, bug gold also has weaknesses. The gold it turns into can only last for a certain period of time, and it can only turn into gold once in a lifetime. Once it turns into gold and returns to bugs, it will die."
"There are many more weird things like this, such as insect silver, etc."
"Now, do you know?"
"Young Master, please spare your life, I am wrong... I beg you, Young Master, please spare your life..."
Huo Skull thought, and the flames on his body trembled violently.
"Tell me, what's wrong?" the corpse boy asked.
Huoguan stammered, "Yes... someone used insect gold to pretend to be yin gold and bought things in my ghost building, but the old slave didn't notice it. After the yin gold was put into the warehouse, the insect gold returned to its original state, thus causing the ghost warehouse." The illusion of being stolen.”
"As the manager of the ghost building, the old slave did not notice it in time, and he is responsible for the oversight. After the Yinjin was stolen, the old slave did not check the ghost warehouse carefully, but made random assumptions, which was careless. After the incident, the old slave did not inform him in time. Master, but trying to conceal it, is guilty of deception."
"Very good, it's not hopelessly stupid." The corpse boy looked at the skull and said, "Since you know that your sin is unforgivable, do you know why you are still alive and the toad is dead?"
"Old slave...Old slave don't know?" Huo Guan said in fear. Logically speaking, he is the main responsibility for the theft of Yin Gold, because Yin Gold is inherently fake, which is equivalent to being lost before being put into the warehouse, so the Yin Toad who guards the ghost warehouse In fact, he didn't have much responsibility, but Yin Toad, who had no guilt, died, but he was still alive. He really didn't know the reason.
"Then let me tell you, you are not dead because you did not take refuge in any of us, but were loyal to your adoptive father and to the ghost house. But the Yin Toad is not like that. So, do you understand?" Tong said calmly.
"Old slave...I understand, old slave...I understand." The fire skull lowered its head, out of fear and even more grateful.
The owner of the ghost house has seven adopted sons, and there is naturally a division of power among the adopted sons. Therefore, many people in the ghost house will secretly seek refuge with a certain son and find a backer. He was the only one who didn't. It wasn't that no one had tried to win over him, and it wasn't that he hadn't been tempted. It was just that he felt that the ghost building belonged to the owner. No matter how thick the legs of the people below were, they could be thicker than the owner, so he didn't agree.
Unexpectedly, his little thought actually saved his life today.
"Remember, Guilou is his foster father, and you are all dogs raised by his foster father. His foster father can tolerate a lazy, lazy, stupid dog, but he cannot tolerate a dog that eats inside and outside." The corpse boy's face covered with corpse spots showed A weird smile "So, you are still alive."
"Yes, yes, thank you eldest master for your kindness, and thank you for your kindness to the landlord. I am loyal to the landlord and to the ghost building, and I will never have second thoughts." Huo Guan kowtowed vigorously.
"No need to kowtow, get up." The corpse boy said, "Let's talk about the matter in front of us."
"Yes." The fire skull stopped kowtowing and floated up.
Corpse boy said, "Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of Yin gold is just a trivial matter, but bullying me, Gui Lou, with insect gold is obviously a provocation to my Gui Lou. The reputation of Gui Lou must not be compromised."
"No matter who did this, I, Guilou, will never take it lightly."
"But...but there are so many people coming to the Ghost Tower today, and most of them hide their identities. How can we find each other?" Huo Guan hesitated.
The corpse boy said calmly, "Insect gold is extremely rare and rare. It is impossible for many people to hold it, so it is most likely the work of one person."
"Go and check the income of the ghost house today and see who has spent 250,000 taels of gold. If so, that person is most likely the murderer."
"The eldest son is wise, I will go now." Huo Gu's eyes lit up and he turned into a dark wind and left. After a while, he returned and said with a slight disappointment, "I'll report to the eldest son, I checked and found that there is no consumption today. He happens to be a man with 250,000 taels of gold."
"No?" Corpse Boy thought for a while and said, "I'm being cautious. Maybe the other party mixed some real gold into his consumption, half-truth and half-false, to cover up."
By the way, the app I’m using recently is supported by Android and Apple phones!
"But thinking about it, the other party is just trying to confuse us. They definitely won't use too much real gold. Most of it should be insect gold."
"Huo Skull, look at who has spent close to 250,000 taels of Yin gold today."
