The condition of his apprentice was much better than expected, and Gu Yanzhi's tense jaw relaxed a little.
He looked his apprentice up and down and said, "What happened? Why is the life-saving jade pendant my master gave you broken?"
Wen Ruxi smiled bitterly and explained: "Master, you are now out of seclusion! - I don't know what happened in the ghost city in recent years. There are more and more wandering souls in the human world."
"The disciples of Yuqing Palace are very busy all day long. As entrusted by my father, I made a special trip to find out whether the soul of Tingwei Sun Zhen was still there and causing trouble every day. Unexpectedly, Sun Mingde wanted to kill his wife and children as well. Well, the Yin Qi of the Sun Mansion has been lingering around for seven days, and it has been frozen for seven days, and I haven’t heard of it. This thing is extremely strange."
"This disciple feels that someone may be behind this."
After death, the soul returns to the ghost town. This has been the case for hundreds of years. However, in recent years, for some reason, more and more people have died violently. The resentment in the human world has become even more irreversible. The one who suffers from ghosts is the one with a flat head. Common people.
Wen Ruxi had just finished her studies, so when she came down from the mountain, she was naturally full of ambitions. The first task she took was from her old man who went up the mountain to ask for it. She thought that this was her own territory after all.
It should be the simplest rescue mission, so I and my senior brother accepted it without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the water in Sun Mansion was so deep.
Even the matter of Bai Zhan and the ghost mother swallowing the child was done.
Wen Ruxi was one and the other big. She didn't expect that the start would be unfavorable. After all, this was her own home, so she could only clasp her fists and say, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask Master to take action on this matter."
Gu Yanzhi nodded and said: "Of course, I can be regarded as the Grand Master of Daxia. If something like this happens in Daxia, a master cannot just sit idly by."
The hilltop of the gate of Yuqing Palace is within the territory of Daxia Kingdom, not far from the capital. Therefore, the owner of Yuqing Palace has always had the tradition of concurrently serving as the national teacher of Daxia Kingdom since ancient times.
Daxia has been able to prosper in this world for thousands of years, and it has an indelible relationship with Yuqing Palace.
The two of them can be regarded as helping each other, and their lips are dead and their teeth are cold.
Gu Yanshang stepped forward and held Shen Ze's back collar, lifted his nephew up, felt his pulse, frowned and said: "It's bad, Xiao Ze's injury is not serious. Fortunately, the effect of Jade Dew Pill is still there, this place is not suitable." If you stay for a long time, it happens that your uncle is also in the city, so we should leave quickly."
Wen Ruxi nodded and suddenly said: "There is also Sun Wei, they have to take him away too."
They came to save people, but now only Sun Wei and three children are left in the entire Sun family. This industry has suffered heavy losses.
Gu Yanzhi stood there waiting for Wen Ruxi to find him.
Sun Wei dragged her three children with her, her face was smeared with snot and tears, her hair had become sticky in strands since she hadn't washed it for several days, and her whole body exuded an unspeakable stench.
As soon as he saw Gu Yanzhi, he knelt down and cried: "Mr. Beiheng, save me! Help me!"
Gu Yanzhi lifted Sun Wei up with two fingers and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the matter has been resolved. Let's leave from here now."
Wen Ruxi followed Gu Yanzhi and was about to lift her feet when she suddenly realized that the place was too quiet, as if something was missing. She said, "Where is Mo Qing?"
Gu Yanzhi's eyes moved and he said, "Is there anyone else here just now?"
"Yes." Wen Ruxi whispered everything that happened tonight.
Gu Yanzhi put his fingers on Wen Ruxi's wrist and said quietly: "Your body is fine. The medicine probably just tastes weird."
"The daughter of Lieutenant Li Yu? - I have never heard of this person."
Wen Ruxi said: "Li Taiwei protects this girl very well. If she didn't tell her, I wouldn't be able to recognize her identity."
Gu Yanzhi asked: "Where are the people?"
Wen Ruxi looked around and said awkwardly, "I'm afraid he's gone."
Gu Yanzhi stopped asking and strode forward. His figure was hidden in the sunlight, and Wen Ruxi followed closely behind.
The strong Yin Qi in the sky has dispersed, and a touch of fish belly white lights up on the horizon. The pre-dawn light shines into the empty mansion. Wen Ruxi slowly exhales a breath of turbid air, with a heavy heart. The breeze passes through the hall, and the broken window lattice creaks. Straight ring.
She had an inexplicable intuition that maybe all this might have just begun.
…
Jiang Si pushed Mo Qingyu's wheelchair so fast that it almost flew up.
She murmured: "Why is that bitch Gu Lian here? Didn't he say that he has been in seclusion for more than ten years?!"
Mo Qing and Leng Leng said: "What's so strange about this? Don't they keep saying that there will always be chaos? - I've been dead for more than ten years!"
Jiang Si said nonchalantly: "Master, where are we going now?"
It was already daybreak, and street vendors had already set out their stalls one after another. Fresh fruits and vegetables had been put out early in the morning, and there were shouts and shouts everywhere.
The owner of the bun shop next to him pulled the dough and said with a smile: "Girl, would you like a bun? Our buns are big, soft, fragrant and sweet!"
The glutton in Jiang Si's stomach was aroused. She clutched her stomach and worked hard all night. She was really hungry at this time.
Looking at Mo Qingyu's expression pitifully, Jiang Si whispered, "Master, I'm hungry."
Mo Qingyu felt empty in his stomach, cleared his throat and said, "Then buy two buns."
"Okay!" Jiang Simei smiled happily and pushed Mo Qingyu to the front of the bun shop, chose a table and went to pay.
As we all know, "two" is never an exact number. Mo Qing and Jiang Si watched helplessly as they moved a whole box of fist-sized buns and placed them on the table.
Mo Qing used a dust-removing technique on his hand, then picked up the chopsticks on the side and picked up a bun, chewing it slowly.
Jiang Si doesn't have that many problems. He can shoot left and right with one hand.
The owner of the bun shop was dumbfounded when he saw the speed. He laughed and said, "You see, the girl is not big, but she has a big appetite!"
Jiang Si's mouth was full of buns and he said vaguely: "That's it!"
The bun shop owner said, "Our pig's knuckle noodles are also very delicious. Do you still have the stomach to taste them?"
Jiang Si slapped the table and said boldly: "Of course there is! If you have any other delicious food at home, bring it all to me!"
The owner of the bun shop was immediately happy. He was not afraid of encountering something edible, but afraid of encountering something that was not edible.
Jiang Si had already finished a basket of steamed buns by himself, and he had three bowls of noodles piled on hand. Mo Qing had just finished one steamed bun, which was thin in skin and filled with fillings, and tasted really good.
She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped the corners of her mouth carefully, and said slowly: "Does the boss know about the Sun Mansion on the next street?"
The owner of the bun shop said carelessly: "How many people in the entire capital don't know the residence of Sun Mingde, the current court official? But I heard that he died suddenly a few days ago. The appearance of his death was so miserable. It is said that he turned into a ghost and didn't even have his wife and children. Let it go.”
"The little immortal from Yuqing Palace made a special trip to rescue people a few days ago, but there has been no news for so many days."
"Sun Mingde deserves to die, but it's a pity that the little fairy who saved the people in distress seems to have even gone there in person, and now there is no news at all!"
The bun shop owner shook his head and sighed: "This world is not peaceful!"
Mo Qing's ears twitched and he said, "You deserve to die? How can you say this?"
The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop sneered: "If I'm not afraid of losing my head, this is stupid nowadays! Judging from the girl's clothes, she must belong to a wealthy family. Naturally, she doesn't know the difficulties of us ordinary people!"
"Sun Mingdegui is one of the nine ministers. He is in charge of Dali Temple and specializes in the trial of prison cases. However, this person is corrupt and perverts the law. He said that the daughter of my distant cousin's eldest cousin's aunt looks so good. I called a pretty girl, but ended up being attracted by the most domineering old man in the area!"
"The old man is more than a year older than me, and half of his body is about to be buried. If he fails to rob the peasant girl, he will send someone to kill my distant cousin's eldest cousin's aunt, my distant cousin's nephew's aunt, My eldest cousin’s uncle sued him to Dali Temple.”
"I thought that since this Dali Temple is one of the nine temples in the capital, it would not be deceived by the hungry ghost. But what happened!"
"That Sun Zhen has a nice name and a virtuous character. Nothing he does is virtuous. He secretly collected a large amount of property and awarded the daughter of my distant cousin's eldest cousin's aunt to the old man. He was even acquitted.
"When it comes to giving gifts, how can villains like us compare to other merchants?"
"When something happened, there was never a notarized person who judged the case. As time went by, everyone became reluctant to report the matter to the court."
"If you have time to take a look at South Street, you will definitely see someone seeking provocation and revenge."
"So let me tell you, it's better if Sun Mingde dies. This will save everyone from having a case and nowhere to appeal!"
The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop let out a "poof", then lost his temper and returned to his senses. He touched his neck and said with a smile: "Girl, just listen to it for fun. The little old man still wants this head."
Mo Qing and his aunt's daughter were first confused by the list of distant cousins and nephews. After hearing the following words, they gradually began to clear their minds.
After Jiang Si finished the three bowls of noodles, he threw the pieces of silver on the table and left.
The two of them went to teahouses and wine shops, a mixed bag of places, to inquire about it.
Jiang Si pushed Mo Qing and tutted: "Look, Master, what do I say? This Sun Zhen and Sun Mingde are not good people. Being split in half is really an advantage for him."
Mo Qing and Si Chen said: "Sun Zhen is indeed not a good person. He will die if he dies. But now that the Yin Qi in the Sun Mansion has been broken, I still haven't figured out Li Yu's position. This is really strange."
"And I always feel that there must be something behind Sun Zhen's death."
I have never heard of anyone being able to form the Yin Gathering Formation on their own. Who knows that this kind of thing is the most taboo after death. Even the monks dare not depict it at will, let alone Sun Zhen, a high-ranking official in the court.
Are you afraid that you will be able to live peacefully after death?
"Is there something behind the scenes?" A rough voice suddenly came from the wine shop.
When Mo Qing and Xun Sheng went out, they saw a shirtless man wearing an undershirt and a mandarin jacket. He had a pair of running pants slung over his legs. His shoes were full of mud spots and there were holes in his toes.
This is the most common attire of casual workers, and it is undoubtedly the most common on the docks. This kind of people will go wherever there is work. As long as they can make a living, they can take on any dirty work.
"Hey, this brother seems to know something? Hurry up and tell everyone, just treat it as a snack - come on, brother, drink as you like, this drink is my invitation!" A scholar-looking man He shook his folding fan and raised a jar of wine towards the shirtless man.
The shirtless man's eyes lit up when he heard this, he grabbed the wine jar and took a bold sip.
"Good wine!" He put one foot on the chair and pointed to the door with one hand, saying: "Brothers, you guys don't know. Brothers, I work as a casual worker. I just got up and before I had time to wash up, I received a message... "
The shirtless man paused, and after arousing everyone's interest, he continued: "They actually asked us to go to the Sun Mansion to collect the body of little old man Sun Mingde!"
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar below.
Someone questioned: "Isn't this Sun Mingde dead a long time ago? Isn't it the reason why the Sun Mansion is haunted during this period?"
The shirtless man said: "I thought so at first, but when I entered the Sun Mansion, I realized that things were not that simple!"
He took another sip of wine and said, "Do you guys know about that zombie?"
Everyone nodded and said, "I know it."
Someone laughed and said: "But brother, I have lived and traveled all over the world for more than thirty years and have never seen it before! Who knows whether this thing is real or fake!"
"It's true!" the shirtless man shouted, "I saw it with my own eyes, how can it be false?!"
"Hiss—" The people below all took a breath and shouted, "What does it look like? Why don't you tell me quickly!"
