Qin Xiao couldn't leave. Even in the fire, she was still looking for her sweetheart. She was extremely disappointed.
After sorting out the story, Wu Jing sighed: "Hey, it's actually not easy for her."
Gu Beiqing still couldn't figure it out: "Then why is the secret room connected to the inn bed, and what's going on with the bones inside?"
Wu Jing said that he couldn't figure it out: "Who knows, I don't know whether the heartless man will get his retribution in the end."
"No, what did the waiter call the shopkeeper?" Gu Beiqing said suddenly.
"Male boss, no, it's Boss Nan!" Wu Jing seemed to have thought of something.
The two looked at each other in tacit understanding and immediately rushed to the inn.
The door of the inn was closed tightly, and the two of them could only enter through the open window of the room where they had just been admitted. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, I saw the waiter and the shopkeeper who were cleaning the room.
Seeing Gu Beiqing and the other two, the waiter was shocked: "Aren't you two——"
"Oh? He's already dead, right?" Gu Beiqing stared at the shopkeeper sitting on the chair and said word by word.
Seeing that the waiter's legs were already trembling, the shopkeeper stepped forward with a calm expression and said with a smile: "What are you talking about! I heard some movement upstairs and brought the waiter up to have a look. Look, isn't this just a quilt? Isn’t it! It’s cold today——”
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Beiqing threw the flying feather, which flew past his cheek and nailed it to the wall behind. "The female ghost has been killed by us." Gu Beiqing said in a low voice as he approached the shopkeeper.
Obviously, Shopkeeper Nan didn't expect that these two people could survive the female ghost's words, and he was confused for a while.
"Here, sir, you are really good at joking. There is no such thing as a female ghost!" Although he said this, there were already dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
Seeing that he refused to tell the truth, Gu Beiqing drew his sword directly and cut off Shopkeeper Nan's left hand in front of everyone's shocked eyes. Blood splattered everywhere.
Shopkeeper Nan wailed and rolled in a pool of blood. Gu Beiqing put a hemostatic charm on him, turned it on his pale face, and said calmly: "I'll ask you again, and if you don't tell me, I'll cut off your other arm. Then the legs and then the eyes, you can decide for yourself, don't worry, I won't kill anyone." After that, he gave him a smile.
He had underestimated Gu Beiqing's methods before, but now, dominated by fear, Shopkeeper Nan finished the whole story tremblingly.
It turned out that Nancheng did not escape, but was tied up and thrown into the prison dungeon after his legs were broken. It was not until the windbreaker Qin Xiao finished casting the spell that his parents spent a lot of money to take him out of the prison.
He built an inn at the place where Qin Xiao was sealed. He didn't know where he got the news. As long as he sucked people's souls, ghosts and the like could greatly increase their cultivation level. So he set up such a passage. When tourists from other places stayed in the hotel, he would take them to a specific room. After they were stunned, they would directly activate the mechanism and fall into the secret room.
This time, knowing that Gu Beiqing was a cultivator, he deliberately opened the window from the outside in an attempt to confuse Gu Beiqing, but unexpectedly they failed.
"Who are you, Nancheng?" Wu Jing asked.
"It's my great-grandfather's grandfather." Shopkeeper Nan was stunned and continued.
Later, Nancheng always wanted to marry a wife, but his parents forced him to marry and have children. The matter of raising female ghosts with living people is only handed over to the next head of the family before the death of each generation of the family. Only these shopkeepers and the most powerful clerks in the inn know about it.
"I don't want to do this either! But if I don't do this, the people in the town will be the ones who suffer the consequences over time!"
The female ghost cannot come out, but her resentment is very strong. If you don't have soul food for a long time, you will get angry. The more resentful you are, the more people in the town will be affected. At first it was just some frail old people who couldn't bear the disease and fell ill, but later it turned into newborn babies dying. Chang Qingzhen could not be allowed to lose his place, so Shopkeeper Nan made the same choice as his fathers after careful consideration.
If Changqing hadn't been gradually dilapidated over the years and fewer and fewer tourists came, they wouldn't have provoked Jing. But fortunately, the female ghost has been eliminated, at least the younger generations will no longer have to do such immoral things.
After understanding the ins and outs of the whole incident, Gu Beiqing threw a bottle of pills to Shopkeeper Nan, and then left with Wu Jing.
Dawn has broken.
The two walked side by side on the path, looking at the orange sky in the distance. Wu Jing spat out the dogtail grass he had been holding in his mouth. "Beiqing, tell me, what will people say if Qin Xiao is emotionless and it doesn't rain? But if Qin Xiao is emotionless, doesn't know joy or sorrow, and has no passion, is he still a human being? Such a life would be so boring."
"There's nothing you can't think of, and there's nothing they can't say." Gu Beiqing said.
Qin Xiao is unfortunate. After praying for rain for a lifetime, the last few ceremonies failed and became the target of people's complaints. Love that should be holy is told by everyone to be dirty, just because she is a saint. People burned Qin Xiao to death with ignorance and ingratitude, turning her into a devil, but they also paid a heavy price for it. If it weren't for Gu Beiqing and Gu Beiqing, I don't know how many lifetimes it would take for Qin Xiao and the people of Changqing to be settled. Qin Xiao was killed by thousands of people in the entire town, but no one actually stabbed her. They asked Qin Xiao to give up his happiness and life to go to them, but they did not allow himself and his descendants to repay the debt they owed.
Gu Beiqing shook his head.
Wu Jing looked back at the small town in the distance and quickly called to Gu Beiqing.
"Beiqing Beiqing! It's on fire."
