Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

Chapter 54

The generals of the Beijing soldiers did not take Xu Zhen away.

A few days later, Xu Zhen was taken away by Dong Di's people from the cloth government in the capital, and hung on a pole at the north gate of the palace.

Besides Xu Zhen, after driving away the western barbarians, Jiahui also hung the corpse of another person on the pole.

Wang Jinhui.

Jiahui successively received letters from the prefects of Shuzhou and Shazhou, planning to send troops to Shubei and Shazhou.Jiahui wanted to try the "new sword", so he summoned Wang Jinhui and asked him to dispatch the martial arts disciples of Xie Mingzong in Chongzhou.Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Xie Mingzong went to Loukong, only Wang Jinhui and a dozen others working in Beijing could be found.

The reason is that the people of Xie Mingzong did not reach an agreement at the beginning.A group of people represented by Wang Jinhui agreed to work for Jiahui, while the rest were determined not to go out.At first, the two people agreed not to interfere with each other. Although they were in the same case, they went their separate ways.But when Wang Jinhui returned to Chongzhou to transfer people, Xie Mingzong's gate was locked and no one was allowed to enter.

Wang Jinhui led the people in the capital to curse outside, but seeing no one answered, he kicked the door in.

Afterwards, the rancid smell filled the nostrils, and people who had died for a long time came into view.

Disagreement of opinion eventually turned into a dispute between two factions.The Yintun faction beheaded those who held differences from the same sect with swords, and then cleared the original site, looking for another place to re-establish the sect and establish the sect.

Jiahui was furious and punished Wang Jinhui to warn him of "dishonest and unfaithful".

Poor Wang Jinhui was hanged on the gallows in a daze, and when he was tortured until he was half dead, he was thrown awake again, food was forced, and his brothers and feet were bound.Such executions and final sentences were carried out many times, and Wang Jinhui finally died on the gallows in a matter of days.

Wang Jinhui died of scolding.

The people next to the north gate of the palace listened to him scolding for the whole morning: "Zhao Qibin, you must die! Now you have the final say on who is right and who is wrong. Heaven has its own way. Sooner or later, God will judge you right or wrong!"

In fact, Jiahui has cast all the flames on Wang Jinhui alone.He provoked the barbarians to invade the border, with the original intention of attracting the people of Xianmen to take them into the capital. Who would have thought that the new wings he tried his best to enrich could not be opened, and the old wings were broken.The two powers he was proud of and day and night, were proved to be a joke by an empty sect and an unimaginable mirror.Then what is the difference between Zhao Qibin and the dead one? !

Jiahui concentrated his anger to Shubei and Shazhou, and besieged and suppressed the "barbarians" until they fled dozens of miles away with heavy casualties.

When Yunli thought that Jiahui would reach out to Yunjue sooner or later and drive all the little fairies back to Siming Wonderland, the capital suddenly fell silent.

It can only be said that Jiahui is thinking now.But others don't know whether he is reflecting on himself or blaming others.

Yunli felt that he was more focused on new things.

Things that get him more interested.

……

Jiahui for four years.winter.

Without Xiaoxian Siming, Yun Jue should have been quieter. Unexpectedly, someone reported the crime at night and said, "The 'ghost man' came to our house." The woman who reported the crime had her hair loose, and the dirt on her face seemed to have accumulated For a long time, slurred speech.If it wasn't for the fact that there was a neighbor helping the girl to speak, Yun Yao would have thought that she was already insane.

Now that "business" has started, once Si Ming Xiaoxian leaves, everything will fall on the shoulders of Yunyao and Yunli.Whether or not to continue accepting cases in the future is a matter for the future. Now that people come to Yunjue with hope for help, Yunjue can't close the door and say we are closed.

The woman flicked her hair and said: "My son saw something that he shouldn't have seen, and he was scared, scared and stupid. Why do you think that thing appeared in my house? The child's father has left, and I am a widow. I have never exceeded the rules. Why do you let our family run into this kind of thing!" It turned out that the woman was not crazy, she just came in to take care of her son, who was mentally exhausted, coupled with anxiety and sadness, she seemed a little depressed.

Seeing her pulling her hair, Yun Yao took her hand and comforted her, "The 'ghost man' passed on to avenge her death, how could your family meet him."

The woman muttered in a hoarse voice, kept shaking her head, tears streaming down her face.The woman next door sighed: "It doesn't matter if what she saw was a 'ghost man' or not, in short, it is a powerful thing, please help me, otherwise her doll and her will be useless, what should I do in the future?" .”

Yun Yao promised that the two of them, Yun Jue, would try their best to find out the matter, she looked at Yun Li, and Yun Li nodded: "Yes, go and have a look first."

The woman and her neighbors led Yunyao and Yunli back; the woman's house was not far from the old couple's house, only a few bamboo canals away from the old couple's house.

In the shadows, a one-, two-, or three-year-old boy is curled up in a bamboo basket, his body is invisible, his head is completely exposed, giggling.Everyone present felt panicked, so the mother went over and took the child out, held him in her arms and made him sleep, complaining softly why he came out to mess around again.The corner of the child's mouth was dripping with saliva, and the saliva stained the woman's shoulders and hair; the mother wiped him with her sleeve, and tears came down as she wiped, but she bit her lip and remained silent.

After a while, the child fell asleep, and the waxy face was stuck to the woman's shoulder, which was very cute.

The woman seemed to be talking to herself or talking to the person next to her: "I'm so dumb, I'm really dumb."

Yun Yao followed her back, turned her face, and asked her neighbor, "Where is the thing?"

The neighbor shrugged his shoulders and stretched out his hand to point, but Yun Li was already squatting there watching, and couldn't help but tremble.

Yunli nodded to Yunyao, telling her to come quickly.

The thing on the ground seemed familiar to Yunli: an indistinct mass of flesh.And, when questioned, the woman did say that the smelly lump of meat had come into her yard by herself.All kinds of appearances made Yunli think of the Gan Cheng family, but he didn't think there was anything behind it.The woman guarded her son all by herself, her reputation was very clear, and she didn't seem to have any grudges against anyone.What Nie Qiu is doing is a big business that hollows out people's savings. Who would pay a lot of money to invite "ghosts" to make her family suffer?

The difference from the one in Gan Cheng's yard is that this piece is quite "scattered", as if it has been dragged by someone.

Yun Li looked at it with his head down and asked, "You moved it?"

The neighbor waved his hand vigorously, and all the five senses were shouting "impossible, impossible": "Who dares to touch it, who is full to touch it?!"

Yunli: "How did it come about?"

The female neighbor said: "I was cooking with her that day, and she took care of the dishes when I started the stove, and it has been fine since then. As soon as the beans were out of the pot, we heard the dolls screaming outside. At first we thought they were playing. , I ignored it, but my sister ran in and said something had entered the yard. When we went out, I saw..." Yunyao interrupted: "There are other children?" The woman lowered her eyes and said: "...Well, my girl .I often bring girls to accompany my aunt and brother."

Yun Yao: "Have you asked your girl?"

"I asked and asked, and I said 'something came in, my brother was scared stupid'."

Yun Li said: "You should see how it came in and why it didn't move?"

"The yard door is not closed, how else can I get in. If you don't move, you don't move. What other ways can you lie down?!"

Yun Yao: "We want to meet your children."

The neighbor turned pale: "Force her to think, force her to talk, is there another silly doll?" The woman holding the child looked at her, rubbed the child's face and turned away.Yun Yao said: "This kind of thing doesn't always appear for no reason." The neighbor said anxiously: "Girl, we are also a clean family. My girl is only five years old. What kind of evil can she summon?!"

Yun Yao said: "It's not that it has something to do with your child, we just want to know more details so that we can clean up the dirty things for you."

The neighbor looked at the woman and the child, with pity in his eyes, he hesitated and agreed: "My sister is sleeping now, you can go find her tomorrow." The woman turned around, and she seemed to kneel down, and the neighbor hurriedly helped her up. She said: "For so many years, there has never been a thank you between you and me. What are you doing now? What's the big deal, the baby wants to open up, just let her say a few words."

When the woman moved slightly, the boy woke up in shock, and instead of crying, he just grinned maniacally.The woman paused, straightened up, and gently shook him with tears in her eyes.

……

"Are you there? There is something on the grave!"

Everyone's heart tightened, and they followed the sound to look at the gate of the courtyard.

The neighbor said: "It's the one in my house." Just as he finished speaking, a man flashed in. The man was terrified and excited, with his arms extended and pointing in a certain direction.

The woman next door hurriedly asked, "What?"

The man made gestures, didn't explain clearly, and then laughed angrily at himself: "I didn't see clearly... Anyway, there is something on the grave." Only then did he realize that there were more people, and said: "These two are Yunjue's immortals. Jun? It's alright, it's alright, let the two immortals take a look."

The woman's neighbor said: "We don't care about anything, you take the two of you there, I'll be here tonight with my sister."

The man agreed, and invited Yun Yao and Yun Li to come out.As he walked, he said, "The girl's house has been haunted by ghosts, so I thought, every day when it gets dark, I will go to all the cemeteries everywhere, maybe I can catch something. No, I just saw it when I came out today. !"

Yun Yao smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid?"

The man laughed and said that he was so afraid that he hated it, but he didn't bite the bullet and no one else dared to go.

As they walked, the three of them were about to reach Yanshan and Meizi's house.

Yun Li wondered why he came here, and asked which family's grave it was, and replied that it was a new grave, and the person was buried not long ago.Yunli: "Surname is Cheng?" The man was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and said it seemed to be, and they were an old couple.Yunli and Yunyao remained silent for a while, and when they passed by the old couple's house, they took a careful look; the door was closed, but there seemed to be voices inside.

Yun Li has not been here recently, and has been living in Yun Jue.

What lives in it now?

Just as he was thinking, the man also noticed the sound from the door, and said casually, "It's so late, and the family is still awake?"

Yun Yao and Yun Li stopped at the same time.

The man said: "What's wrong?"

Yun Yao: "It's nothing. Go to the grave first." She was answering the other party and telling Yun Li.Yun Li carefully discerned the voices in the room: not just two or three people, but a group of people.A group of people were chatting, the topic was quite relaxed, and they laughed from time to time.Ever since the child laughed crisply, laughter can no longer relieve stress tonight, but instead adds a layer of haze to people's hearts.

The man was also interested, and aware of the difference, he led the two of them out of the old couple's house quickly.

The two old men were buried not far from home, and not long after, the man stopped and said, "You two, what am I talking about? There is really something there!" Before Yun Yao and Yun Li could look carefully, the man said seriously, "Look Just look, standing there, half body, no legs!" Before Yunyao and Yunli could find the "ghost" he pointed out, he said that his scalp was numb.

Yun Yao: "Where is it?"

The man didn't move forward, and pointed: "Behind the tree, do you see it?"

behind the tree...

It turned out to be the tomb of the old couple.

Yun Li thought that if the two old people came back when something strange happened, it would inevitably lead to misunderstanding and make things even more troublesome.Yunyao was in the same mood as him, she just felt that it would be better if the other party didn't go forward, and wanted to find an excuse for the man to go back first.The man didn't see any reaction from the two of them. He was afraid that he was the only one who could see the "ghost", so he panicked, "What do you two think it is?"

Just now Yunli was worried that the old couple Cheng would be involved in a misunderstanding, and his mind was not in place; now he came back to his senses, took a closer look, and suddenly said: "That is clearly a person."

Hearing this, Yun Yao blinked and looked at it again, and said, "It's a human being."

The man choked in horror.

The man turned his back to this side and knelt.

The man patrols the grave at night, his heart is hanging, the grass and trees are all soldiers, bows and snakes.Seeing the "something" on the grave, he didn't take a closer look, but ran away after grabbing the figure from the back. Naturally, he imagined the kneeling person as a ghost without feet in his mind.Hearing that it was a human being, he took a bolder step, subconsciously took a few steps forward, pushed aside the hanging branches and leaves, and stared straight at his eyes.He had to go again, Yun Li grabbed his arm and asked him to come back.

The man wondered, "Don't you want to see?"

Yun Yao smiled: "No need to read, he knows."

Who would kneel on the grave of Mrs. Cheng and his wife in the middle of the night?It will never be the tomb robbers from the neighboring villages, and they have to pay homage to the owner of the tomb before working.

Yun Yao persuaded the man a few words, telling him not to worry about it, and the matter will be investigated when his daughter wakes up tomorrow.The man vaguely agreed with "Oh", and finally looked at the white back that frightened him a lot, and according to Yunyao's words, go home first.The man walked a few steps, then turned back and said, "Are you two celestial beings to give my family a Dao talisman?"

Yun Yao was worried that she couldn't find an excuse to go away, so she nodded and said yes, then walked back with the man.

Just as Yunli was about to move, Yunyao signaled him that she could do it alone, and said, "If you don't go there now, maybe he will leave again tomorrow morning." language, urging him to go quickly with his eyes.

Yun Li thought a lot at first, but when he got close to the figure, he was inexplicably relaxed and called out "Su Tong".

The other party froze and looked up at him.

Su Tong subconsciously wanted to get up, but when she thought of something, she lowered her head and resumed her kneeling position.Yun Li sat down cross-legged: "How long have you been motionless? Some people think you are a ghost." Su Tong took a breath, and Yun Li waited for him to speak, but after a long time, he couldn't wait, so he had to find a topic by himself: "Old man Is there someone in the room, or the ones you brought? Jiahui allowed you to go back to Xiuzhu? You came back at night again? You have to leave after a day?" After asking, he regretted: He asked so many questions, Su Tong replied If you don't come up, the question is useless.

"Does it still hurt?"

Yunli: "Huh?"

Su Tong just raised her hand, wanting to push his hair to see.Yun Li thought he didn't know what he was going to do, so he changed his sitting position, touched his head and said, "You won't hurt even if you get pierced by an arrow, and if you kneel here well, I'll just knock it down on a stone, what do you say?" Am I still in pain?"

Su Tong: "Yes..."

Yunli: "By the way, those kids of yours don't sleep at night and gather in the courtyard to chat. This habit is not good. It needs to be changed." Before Su Tong could look away, he directly locked Su Tong's eyes. Stopped, stared, the two of them leaned closer.Yun Li smiled, took a breath in those eyes that blended with the night sky, faced the tomb of the old couple, and changed from sitting to kneeling.No matter what the other party thinks, he regards this as worshiping the elders.

Su Tong turned her head and said, "If you don't want to leave soon, you must stay in Shuzhou for a while."

Yun Li thought for a while, took out a sign, and said, "Jiahui is also afraid of seeing you now, he is thinking about things without you."

Su Tong glanced at the signboard of the general of the Beijing army and remained silent.

The night is in full swing, suitable for lyricism.Yun Li suddenly said what was on his mind: "Look, we knelt together in front of Uncle Cheng and Grandma Cheng. You didn't say it was bad, and the two old people didn't say anything against it. Is this matter finalized?" Su Tong trembled, stood up straight, and stared at the old man's grave.

Yun Li knelt down, and said: "I've said it all, your life is in my hands. Think about it, once I get jealous, one will accidentally kill Su Juegui's wife in the future, and the other will kill another one accidentally. Aren't you very miserable? Now that you have broken your sleeve, we have worshiped the high hall, and then we will worship the heaven and the earth in the distance, and I will keep you safe and smooth all your life, isn't it a good deal?" Su Tong came over and knelt down in front of him, A pair of black eyes adorned the face with an indescribable expression, and the eyes were inlaid with sparse stars in winter.Yun Li closed his eyes, feeling that he was hugged hard, and when he opened his eyes again, Su Tong turned his back and walked several steps away.

Yun Li leaned over and bowed to the old man again, followed Su Tong and said, "When others are joking, you have to pretend not to hear it, or it will be too boring. Hey, I'm so serious this time, you said How can you tell that I am teasing you? Well, yes, when you are 80 years old and your face is full of wrinkles, I will still be as good-looking as I am now... Haha, you can afford it, but I can’t."

sour.

In fact, he is not so capable.

I can't control the life of a girl.

There is no guarantee that he will be safe and sound.

He is just a low-level little fairy who made plays for the gods and gods above.

Unknowingly, Yun Li walked in front of Su Tong and pushed open the courtyard door of Mrs. Cheng and his wife, only to see that it was quiet, and the young scholars of civil and martial arts all went back to their rooms to sleep.He came to the edge of the pond to watch the goldfish, and saw that the little creatures were still very lively, circling around the stone table and bench one by one.

Su Tong came over with Xiao Gen's basket, framed all the goldfish inexplicably, and let the bamboo basket filled with fish and water half-float on the water.Yun Li stared blankly, and saw that he bent down again, put his hand into the water, and a moon-white stream of light poured out from his fingertips.Yun Li saw that he was actually injecting spiritual power into the fish pond, and the more he looked at it, the more strange it became. After a while, he dipped a finger into the water in the pond.

Yunli: "Master Su wants to take a bath here?!"
