Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

Chapter 30

In Mang County, Huzhou, a small family suffered from an evil corpse. The insider said that the evil corpse was encountered by a neighbor who was passing by at night.It was this neighbor who witnessed the evil corpse's mischief that went all the way to Yunjue Academy to report the crime.

Yunli followed the road pointed by Yunyao and arrived in Mang County in a carriage.But from the time he settled down to today two days later, he knew very little about the so-called tricks of Xu Zhen and Yun Yao.He doesn't know where the dead body is and where it is blamed, and what losses the people who encountered the dead body have suffered.He didn't know much about it, but it wasn't that he didn't ask anyone, but the door of the eviled house was locked tightly, rejecting all those who tried to investigate the matter, and almost no one could describe it from beginning to end.

Yunli changed his mind, went to the streets of Mang County, and found out where the reporter lived.When the butcher who reported the case heard that the visitor was from Yunjue Academy, he first sent his wife to borrow some tea from someone to brew for Yunli. Come on, why is there another one today?"

Yun Li said: "I was going to come with the previous young master, but something happened, so I was delayed."

The butcher didn't think about it, he just said "oh".

Yun Li asked: "Has the young master surnamed Su been here?"

The butcher said: "Come here, and two days ago Mr. Su and one of his younger brothers lived here." Then he seemed to think of something angry, slapped his thigh and said: "That dog of the Cheng family also Really, knowing that the two young masters of Yunjue Academy have come from afar, it’s fine if they don’t treat guests well, yet they shut the door and don’t let anyone in.”

The butcher's wife added: "Also, you went to Shuzhou to repair bamboo, and he didn't appreciate it when you went all the way to hire someone. It's really outrageous..."

"Don't talk too much, you mother-in-law." The butcher interrupted his wife.

"Where did Mr. Su go?" Yun Li asked anxiously.

"I'm going to Gan Cheng's house," said the butcher, "Master Su thinks waiting is not an option, it's better to persuade him. Hey, yes, Mr. Yun, I heard that Mr. Su in your academy is Xiuzhu from Shuzhou The celebrity who won the double yuan... Seriously?" Seeing Yunli nodding, the butcher showed a "terrible" expression, touched his chin and said, "Students cultivate immortality, and immortal cultivators study, and both ends are excellent, the world is really true." There are other things like this." After sighing, he changed the subject and stabbed at the neighbors of the Gan family, "If Mr. Su becomes a high-ranking official in the future, the Cheng family will not be ashamed or afraid of him when they think of their current attitude towards others. !"

Yun Li waited for the butcher to talk nonsense, and finally heard him get to the point: "Mr. Yun, let me tell you, I really saw something strange in the courtyard of the Gan family!"

Yunli: "What kind of thing?"

Butcher: "A red or white skeleton, with lumps of meat hanging on it, floating by itself!" When he said the word "floating", he stood up, tilted his shoulders and said, "Here , just like this, as if being pushed away by the wind." Yun Li pondered, the corpse whose heart had been turned into an evil thing could only move with its limbs, and would not float away like some ghosts; what the butcher described, Maybe it was a ghost instead of a corpse.

Yunli: "What can this thing do?"

The butcher shook his head: "No."

If it's a ghost, if you see it, you'll see it. Anyway, nothing happened, so you won't be caught and accused of "scary".There are tens of thousands of ghosts in the world, and the good and bad ones may have equally terrifying images; if a person who encounters a ghost is frightened by only a good ghost, it can only be said that the person's courage is too small, and Yunli can't blame it Go up the ghost's head.

Unexpectedly, the butcher added: "I just saw that thing jump straight down, and the blood and flesh on its body fell everywhere, and finally it didn't move." Then he turned his head and said something in a low voice to his wife, The woman lowered her body and looked under the bed, and after a while she took out a pair of shoes.The butcher took the shoes, held up the soles and said, "Young Master Yun, look at this, this is the proof of what I said."

Yun Li took a closer look at the shoes, and saw a few prominent dark red dots on the dirty upper, which seemed to be meat residue or something.

Due to the occupation of the owner, there are still dried blood stains on the shoes, and the blood stains make the red spots not very conspicuous, so you have to stare carefully to see them clearly.

The butcher said: "Young Master Yun, this is the meat that splashed on my shoes when that thing fell down! As soon as the body fell down, I went to knock on the door of the Gan Cheng family. The Gan Cheng family's brains must have been frightened." It’s broken, he kicked me out of the courtyard that night and didn’t say anything, but the next day I invited a wizard for him, but he locked the door and said that no dirty things had ever entered his house.”

Yunli: "Didn't you get in any dirty things? Did he say that?"

The butcher put his shoes aside and said angrily: "Isn't it! After listening to him, I suspected for a while that I had bumped into a 'customer' and dared not go out to the market for a few days. Hey, but I later After arguing with the surname Gan through the crack of the door, he finally told me that he felt that wizards were too shady, so he really found a lame excuse not to allow wizards to enter the door."

Yun Li asked suspiciously, "Do you think wizards have a dark energy? Although wizards' instruments and spells belong to Yin, exorcising ghosts is a wizard's profession. Why does he think so?"

"It makes sense to put this idea on the Gan Cheng family," the butcher said in a slow tone, "he has always worshiped the gods in the sky. , to be 'disrespectful' and 'stay away' from everything related to yin qi. I just took this into consideration, and thought that the people of the immortal sect could match the way he believed in, so I reported the case to Yun Jue in Shuzhou I went to the academy." After a while, his voice rose again, "But he still didn't open the door, blaming me for making things worse and exposing his family's scandal."

The butcher's wife couldn't help but said: "Actually, what kind of scandal is this? I think he just hates how much money our family owes him for herbal medicines, and deliberately plays us!"

This time the butcher didn't blame his wife for interrupting, and continued: "The money for the herbal medicine should not have been given. The medicine picked by Gan Cheng's family last year was a scorpion leaf. After taking a bath, not only could the mud pills not be cleaned, but the more it was washed, the more itchy, how about it?" Don't wash it." Immediately, he poked his neck out and said earnestly to Yunli: "Mr. Yun, if someone surnamed Qian is really stubborn, you Yunjue Academy simply leave him alone. People care about him with good intentions, but he put on a gloomy expression. The expression on his face is as if the person who wants to help him is begging him! He put me in the middle, but I can't hack into his house with a single knife, so I can only apologize to Yunjue Academy on his behalf."

After listening to the general idea from the butcher, Yunli declined the couple's meal, and said goodbye to the Ganjia behind the hillside.

At that time, there was a dense circle of people around the gate of the Gan family's courtyard. Yun Li stood on the outermost edge and watched for a long time before he vaguely saw the three figures surrounded by the crowd through the gaps in the human wall.

One of them who was lame and leaning on a cane must be the Gan Cheng family.

And it was Su Tong and a Siming Xiaoxian sent by Yunyao who were persuading the lame middle-aged man with gentle words.

The greenness on Su Tong's face has been shaved off a lot by four years, replaced by a calm and refined spirit.The layer of ice and iron that the boy had wrapped himself in at the beginning seemed to have melted and disappeared due to the infiltration of the room full of good teachings from the ancients.Before reaching the hair crown, there was still some loose hair on Su Tong's shoulders, but now the loose hair is tied into the hair crown, revealing the sharp bone line of the young man from the base of the ear to the shoulder.

Looking at Su Tong in the crowd, Yun Li suddenly felt that he had missed something, and felt a kind of regret in his heart for accidentally speeding up the time.

An angry voice from the Gan Cheng family broke out in the center of the crowd: "It's all gone. I can handle my own affairs as I want. It's not your turn to scold me!"

Someone immediately retorted: "What about your family? You keep a murderous corpse at home, what if it comes out and bites people!"

The people who were just joining in the fun were also awakened by this sentence: "Oh, it's true! I said, you better open the door of the Gancheng family! You are bored with a pile of rotten meat at home, do you want to change your career to raise flies? "

Gan Chengjia stiffened his neck and said, "Go, go! I haven't done anything bad in my life, which eye of yours saw dirty things in my house? Don't listen to the nonsense of the butcher next door, he just got drunk and passed out." Yun Lijue So, no matter what the reason is, this person has a dry air similar to that of a person who avoids medical treatment. Obviously, the house behind him is "scented in ten miles" due to some indescribable thing, and he opened his eyes and said, "My house is so clean." Very" nonsense.

It would be fine if the Gan Cheng family was silent, Su Tong and the little fairy Si Ming would definitely have nothing to do with him.But when he got agitated, everyone around him lost control of their emotions, and soon someone clamored to overturn his courtyard door.

Yun Li reckoned that before everyone put the idea of ​​"opening the door" into action, there was still a long period of verbal conflicts that had not been resolved.However, with the development of the situation, the Gan Cheng family could not stop dozens of people by himself, and his family's courtyard door could not escape the doom of being trampled down.Yun Li also didn't want to listen to the debate that gradually escalated into a scolding war, so he simply took advantage of people's attention and walked to the side of the fenced courtyard wall, ready to jump over the wall directly.

The fence of Gan Chengjia is not only unusually high, but also very dense. The wooden posts are closely arranged, and the only few gaps are blocked by solidified mud. Condition.But such a strange fence and courtyard wall should not have been built like this from the beginning, because many wooden piles are very new, and it can be seen that they were built only recently.

Isn't it just encountering evil? Even if some things are taboo, why did the Gancheng family make themselves look so shameful?

Yun Li groped a bit, found a protruding piece on the wooden pile that could be supported, turned over and was admitted to the hospital.

The sound of his landing was not soft, and the people with sharp ears immediately caught the movement here, and shouted "someone fell in" several times, and finally quieted the noisy crowd.

Yunli heard the Gan Cheng family murmur "dog thing", and then everyone rushed forward, stepping on the front heel, stepping on the fallen courtyard door and rushing in.Gan Chengjia scolded him, but Yunli didn't take it seriously, because he was attracted by the messy mess of flesh and blood in the middle of the dam, and thought that there were more meaningful things to do than get angry.

The butcher's description was pretty close, and the mass of corpses looked as if they had been thrown down and shattered.

Yun Li covered his mouth and nose, leaned over to take a closer look, but was grabbed by someone.

Don't think about it, the person who dragged him was Gan Chengjia.

Gan Chengjia said angrily: "Puppy, you are amazing, you slipped in by yourself!" After saying that, he squeezed Yunli's arm and pushed him out of the door: "Get out! And you... I'll get out!" Although he roared loudly, the nauseating flesh in front of his eyes made his scolding pale and powerless.Yun Li didn't need to do it himself, those neighbors who were terrified and frightened immediately drove Gan Cheng's family away for him.

"Hey... Mr. Yunli! You're back?"

Yun Li followed the sound and turned around, and saw that Si Ming Xiaoxian who came with Su Tong was asking everyone to make way while staring towards this side.

Yun Li said "Yes" to Si Ming Xiaoxian, then turned to look at Su Tong who was slightly dazed after hearing the sound.Su Tong didn't blink for a long time, a word "cloud" that couldn't be lighter escaped from his lips, and then fell silent.

Is my appearance too sudden?Or did Su Tong feel strange about her unchanged clothes and appearance?What did Su Tong swallow?Is he thinking about how to call himself: Yunli or continue to be called Young Master Yun?

Hey, suddenly seeing a half-baked person who disappeared for four years, in fact, everyone would have this kind of hesitant reaction, right?

Yunli quickly wiped away the questions that popped up in his mind as self-indulgent thoughts, and said without words: "Mr. Su, long time no see."

Su Tong lowered her eyes, and her gaze shifted to the muddy corpse.

Yun Li said: "Yes, do business, do business."

The little fairy Siming didn't seem to have any eyes on the lump of flesh and blood in the middle, so she ran up to Yunli, pressed his ear, and asked questions about the affairs of the Nine Heavens.Rarely, when Yun Li knelt down to inspect the "evil corpse", he picked up some questions that had nothing to do with the ancient gods, and answered them calmly.

After not hearing the noisy voice of Gan Cheng's family for a long time, Yun Li was puzzled, and turned his head only to find that the guy was not only held up, but also gagged.

A bold neighbor took a few steps forward, glanced at the rotten meat, and said, "Mr. Yun is also from Yunjue Academy?"

Yun Li said casually, "I'm considered your Master Su's senior brother."

The man laughed and said: "Mr. Yun looks like a young man, is he a brother?"

Next to him, Su Tong's movement of leaning over was stagnant.

Yunli said: "Immortal sects have always ranked seniority according to seniority, not age... Mr. Su, do you think you should call me senior brother?" Su Tong really said without hesitation: "Senior brother Hearing the voice, Yun Li didn't know for a moment whether he was serious or not, and when he glanced away, he saw that the corners of his eyes and mouth curved, and realized that he was not serious when he said this.

The man who supported Gan Cheng's family said: "Those three young masters, let's see what this thing is?"

The only thing Yunli can be sure of is that this crimson, rotting thing has no strange aura attached to it, it is not an evil corpse, it is just a skinless flesh corpse with a miserable appearance.But the butcher's words must have spread, and everyone believed in the saying that the corpse walked at night, Yun Li didn't think of how to explain it for the time being, so he didn't speak, only exchanged glances with Su Tong and Si Ming Xiaoxian.

Su Tong and Si Ming Xiaoxian shook their heads slightly, it seems that they also thought of something with Yun Li.

Hmm, could it be that the evil thing that resided in the corpse had already escaped, leaving only an empty shell?

In front of everyone eagerly waiting for an answer, the three of them could not tell the truth of "no clue" or the guess that "the evil thing has escaped", so as not to cause everyone to fall into unnecessary worry and panic.After a long time, Su Tong thought about it: "This one might as well let us invite this one to another place to prevent him from causing trouble and get rid of his evil spirit."

Xiaoxian Si Ming didn't know what Su Tong was going to do, but felt that it was inappropriate to take away the corpse, and wanted to stop him, but Yun Li said: "Everyone just listen to Mr. Su. We will take it away right away." Wrapping green light, trying to put the corpse into the pouch with a viewing mirror on his waist.But when his hand was close to the meat, Su Tong grabbed his wrist and said, "Dirty."

Yun Li was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Su Tong didn't understand that the green light in his hand had the function of isolating dirt.When he was in a daze, Su Tong took off the outermost layer of clothes, preparing to wrap the corpse away with the clothes.Yun Li stopped him and said, "Hey, isn't this dirty? I see that your clothes are the same as those of the students of Yunjue Academy. It must be the uniforms that Jun Yao Jun sent to you. Uniforms are considered as facades. It's even worse if it's dirty." Then he patted his waist, "Do you know the fairy bag? The bag can contain everything, and it's more useful than your clothes."

Su Tong frowned and said, "Is there a compartment for the bag?"

Yunli: "Uh...not really."

The pouch was what Mu Zhe gave Yunli along with the viewing mirror at the beginning, and Yunli didn't have any messy things to put in it, so the so-called pouch on his waist that contains everything has only been filled with a bronze mirror. .Yunli only cared about the enough space in the bag, and didn't think about anything else. After Su Tong's reminder, he realized that if he stuffed a lump of carrion into the bag and put his hand into the bag in the future, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't catch a piece of it. "Touching" smell.In this way, the bag will probably be useless.

Looking at the two of them, Si Ming Xiaoxian was speechless, and black threads were drawn in his heart one by one.He thought to himself that these two young masters wanted to take the corpse away, but they cared about each other not to get their belongings dirty. Could it be possible to say "follow me" and let the corpse go away by itself?He sighed secretly, then thought sadly that he was a guy who was loved by no one, and said: "Mr. Yunli, I will go to his house to find a piece of cloth."

Si Ming Xiaoxian stood up and walked into Gan Cheng's house. Unexpectedly, a small wooden stool next to her was knocked down by the hem of her clothes.

Yunli's ear was hit by the crisp sound of the stool falling over.

stool?

Is there a stool here?

Yun Li subconsciously lifted the stool, straightened it, and sat on it.He sat on the stool, changed several directions, and then glanced at Gan Chengjia's face.What is Gan Chengjia doing to put a stool here?Bathe in the "fragrance" of rotting corpses and think about life?

Still thinking about it, Yun Li only heard Siming Xiaoxian, who was rummaging in the house, say: "Is this a place where people live?!"
