"I always feel that this peacock is not as simple as it seems. This woman dares to personally find the corpse chaser. She is definitely not a good person."
Yue Guanchao made up his mind to go to Yizhuang to explore the situation, and no one stopped him. Yangquanyi was so strange, and the clearer it was, the easier it was to be prepared. It was already afternoon when they came back, and they ordered something after everyone had finished cleaning the yard. Entering the Five Zang Temple, the orange color in the sky gradually disappears.
The night in Yangquanyi has arrived.
At this moment, the sky is as green as ink, and the mountain wind is damp and cold.
The earthen arches everywhere were lit with torches by the guards. The guests who were originally walking around the inn did not want to cause trouble when they went out. They followed the lights back to the courtyard. This place had no village in front and no shops in the back. It would take dozens of miles to walk. This is the ancient city of Han County. It can be said that it is the only place to stay at the end of Ziwu Road. It is no wonder that the shop is bullying customers to this extent.
After just a cup of tea, the streets were sparse and the courtyard was lit by candlelight.
Yue Guanchao was lying on the attic window, staring closely at the patrolling guards. These Shaanxi men were huge and tall, and they should all be from the training family. They picked up sticks and walked in formation, which was more majestic than the officers and soldiers of the county government.
In an hour, he figured out the rhythm of patrolling the courtyard, quietly jumped onto the courtyard wall, and used the shadows produced by the lights to continuously jump between the chessboard courtyards.
According to the old blind man's description, the post station, an institution that welcomes and delivers people, has the function of a yizhuang. However, Yangquan Post Station is a large post station and cannot be specially used to park corpses. It is opened in the northwest corner of the post station. The courtyard is specially used for the burial of spirits.
Yue Guanchao left the yard and ran to the northwest. He was afraid that the guards would find out that he was causing trouble in vain. He didn't dare to make a sound when he walked. He walked like a wild cat. He walked a few hundred meters away, and even counted a stick of incense. time.
When we arrive at the northwest corner of the courtyard, we can see that the right-angled courtyard walls are built inward to form a square courtyard, with only two southeast gates, one in and one out. The snow-white courtyard walls are covered with gray tiles, and the main entrance is dark and ink, with the words "Yangquan Yizhuang" written on it.
He came to the alley behind the city wall and the courtyard wall, and climbed up the courtyard wall with wooden objects. Fortunately, Yizhuang is the place where the dead are buried. The ordinary nursing home knew that there were many corpses here and was unwilling to come to inspect them. Out of respect for the deceased, he quickly The lights were sparsely lit, with only a few oil lamps lighting up the main hall, and the window grilles faintly revealing a dim light.
Yue Guanchao took advantage of the darkness to walk to the eaves and lay quietly on the roof. He specially found a side hall and quietly opened the tiles. As he gradually got used to the turbid light, the conspiracy of the people in the room gradually became clear to his ears.
"This time, we were entrusted by boss Ren to drive these dead people into the gate of hell. What kind of trick are we doing!"
"Don't ask so much, just do as she asks. Anyway, she also gives a lot of reward money. For the sake of the money, it doesn't matter what her turtle son is doing in Lali. We are walking around in the world. We shouldn't ask about things. It’s just a wild guess, even if you know it, your life will be short-lived, do you understand?”
"I think she is also a Gu citizen. Why did you ask us to make this trip for her? Don't just find a scapegoat."
"..."
Yue Guanchao listened carefully to the conspiratorial words of several Taoists in the Yizhuang Hall. From the accent of their words, they should be the Gu people of the Tu ethnic group at the border of Sichuan and Hunan, and his guess came true.
According to the words of these Taoists, these corpses will be driven to Guimen Pass. There is probably no other place besides the Guimen Pass in the deep mountains of Qinling Mountains. From this, at least two clues can be guessed:
"First, Ren Kongque also knows about the Qinling Ghost Gate, and must also know about the legends of ghosts and gods in the East Kunlun Gate; second, she asked these people to send the corpse in. She must not have been full, but I don't know the reason."
Yue Guanchao murmured in his heart for a moment, becoming more curious about Ren Kongque. If this powerful woman was not interested in the soul palace treasure, she must have wanted other things in the soul palace.
"Who's listening to Qiang Gen?"
"Be careful, the walls have ears, watch the escort~"
"Shuashua~susu~~"
Yue Guanchao wanted to continue eavesdropping, but a loud roar in the distance rang in his ears, and a trembling sound immediately sounded below him.
He looked down and saw several bright darts heading towards the gap!
There was a guard in front of him and a dart behind him. Yue Guanchao immediately dodged and escaped along the outermost wall of the courtyard.
These Taoists were afraid that their plan would be leaked, so they could not stand still and wait. They followed the guardian and picked up torches to search around along the courtyard wall. Fortunately, Yue Guanchao was good at watching tides. He was lurking and avoiding the striding meteors in the darkness. In addition to holding torches, these Taoists could provide light. , as fruitless as a headless fly.
"Why is there no one? I just saw a man, let alone a ghost!"
This young girl held a torch and kept circling around, but she didn't see a single person.
"Oh, did you miss the mark? Could it be that the cats and dogs walking on the eaves are so cowardly that they come out to chase the corpses? Yaomei, you have been wandering around in the world for many years. You can't see clearly whether you are a human or a ghost, and you don't have any heart. Click and count."
"Don't try to mess with me, you have no business, you idiot."
When these three Taoists were making a noise, the team of nursing staff had already joined them. Once the three of them explained the situation clearly, the nursing staff handed over their hands and said: "Don't worry, Han County has been in a state of chaos recently. I think there is a thief. We will immediately Search the yard.”
These nursing home guards may have been looking for them in a hurry, but when they saw no one there, they blew the horns in their necks. When the sound spread far away, they could already see various nursing homes lighting torches and patrolling inside.
Yue Guanchao ran and hid, seeing the torch circle getting smaller and smaller. It was obvious that he was trying to make dumplings for him. If he continued like this, he would not be able to escape. He stopped in the shadow and looked around. There were lights on in other yards, but only There was no spark in the high room of the innkeeper.
Seeing that the nursing home gradually merged into the Yizhan Middle Street, he couldn't help but think about it, stepped on the brick eaves of the wall, opened the square window, and rolled in.
But with a little effort from the front and back, I saw the nurse running past!
"call!"
"Finally escaped."
Yue Guanchao took a long breath, wiped the sweat beads, his heart was pounding, and then he relaxed.
"Thief, you dare to break into your aunt's room, look at the knife!"
