Twilight Ghost

Chapter 13 Old things

As soon as night fell, the policemen pouring out from the yamen surrounded the rice shop of the Tang family with three floors inside and three floors outside. Tang Yang, the owner of the rice shop, was frightened out of his mind. A cellar was drilled into with the evidence.

After Lin Chuchen explained everything for a long time, he reluctantly agreed to let the policemen enter the house to guard.

"Master Lin, are you sure that thief will really come tonight?"

It is really difficult to communicate with small vendors in the market. No matter how you explain the importance of the matter to them, they only care about whether the legs of their own tables will be missing, so Lin Chuchen alarmistly said: "Boss, to tell you the truth , if we don’t come here to help you, the thief might empty out your rice shop tonight, and even remove all the dowry you prepared for your daughter!”

Boss Tang straightened his back, patted his chest and said, "Master Lin, don't worry, even if the grass people risk their lives, they will definitely help you fight against this bad trend!"

Lin Huchao is Lin Huchao, and his ability to scare people is the best in the world. The new arresters who have never seen his magic skills are all dumbfounded, but those who have seen him have already covered their mouths and laughed together.

At this moment, all the lights in the house went out with a "chi" sound. Lin Chuchen signaled everyone to keep quiet. The room was surprisingly quiet, and even the sound of the night watch on the street was extremely loud.

"grown ups……"

"Don't move! Just keep the current movement, don't move at all." An inexplicable panic swept over Lin Chuchen's nerves. It has been a few years since he first handled the case, but this kind of fear is unprecedented.

Thin and dense silk threads are everywhere in the air, some of them almost stick to the neck of a person, as long as they move, the sharp silk threads will cut off the limbs immediately.

"Master Lin, I can't hold on anymore..."

Suddenly, there was a "whoosh", and a poisonous dart was shot straight at the complaining little policeman, and a sudden clang of metal collision resounded through the night, Lin Chuchen made a move, bypassing the seeming net of heaven and earth Silk thread, knocked the poison dart to the ground with one blow.

"Good work, Mr. Lin, it seems that I underestimated you."

The ethereal and distant voice echoed in the room, and Lin Chuchen wanted to hear which direction it came from, but the strange thing was that the voice seemed to sound from all directions at the same time, and it was impossible to identify the source.

"who are you?"

"Master Lin, you really forget things a lot, don't you remember seeing me once in your mansion?"

Could it be the thief who came to steal books with Hua Chongming that day?Lin Chuchen murmured in his heart, he obviously didn't embarrass him at that time, why did this guy avenge his kindness?

At the moment when he was distracted, a cold light flashed under the moonlight, reaching Lin Chuchen's heart impartially, but the sharp sword that seemed to be sealed with blood suddenly retracted when it touched his chest, and "cracked!" Push back into the mechanism of the hilt.

Lin Chuchen seized the opportunity to draw the knife and stabbed, hitting the man's left leg, blood gushed out, dyeing the originally transparent silk thread scarlet.

Seeing the silk thread hidden in the night appeared, Lin Chuchen had a countermeasure, turned over and jumped up, stepped on the silk thread and chased after the thief who was about to escape.

It was beyond Lin Chuchen's expectation that the seemingly weak silk thread could bear the weight of two people, but he quickly got used to swinging the knife in the air with the silk thread. The mighty snitch is cornered.

The moment he saw the man's face clearly, Lin Chuchen was stunned: "You are..."

Zhang Shiqi grabbed his throat and led him out of the window together, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The lights in the rice shop gradually turned on, and the silk thread disappeared without a trace. If it wasn't for the dark red blood stains left on the ground, everyone in the shop might think that what happened just now was just a dream.

Zhang Shiqi led Lin Chuchen to a dark street corner, looked around to see if there were any pursuers, and then put him down.

Lin Chuchen was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he knelt down to worship. Zhang Shiqi quickly helped him up, put his index finger to his lips, and made a "shh" gesture, "Don't say so much, you are a soldier, and I am a thief. Are there soldiers worshiping thieves? Let me ask you something, do you know where Hua Chongming is now?"

"A few days ago in the humble house, I have offended you a lot. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Lin Chuchen!"

"Your Highness, after Hua Chongming was kidnapped, no one knows his whereabouts. My father is investigating this matter. Please don't blame him, Your Highness."

Seeing his appearance, Zhang Shiqi twitched his mouth, and said with a sneer, "You think I don't know, on the day of execution, you deliberately let Hua Chongming go, if not, he wouldn't be able to escape."

Lin Chuchen hastily kowtowed to make amends, and said with sincerity and fear: "Your Highness, please see that the Lin family has served the country for generations, and let the net be lenient."

"Get up, I stole Hua Chongming. If the emperor blames me, I will not escape the blame. You and I are grasshoppers on a straw."

Now Lin Chuchen was stunned, his bowing hand froze in the air, and he didn't realize it for a long time: "Hua Chongming is..."

"You grew up together, you should know a lot of things, I ask you, be sure to answer truthfully." Said Zhang Shiqi sat down, stretched his long legs, let go of his usual ruffian He is also a handsome young man, "Hua Chongming is from Tujin, do you know that?"

"This... Chongming only told me a few days ago."

"Only his blood can make the words on the green bamboo slips appear, so you have never seen the things written in that book?"

"I've read it." Lin Chuchen lowered his head, and when he mentioned the name "Hua Rong", his tone was a little panicked, "The letter was brought back by the groom who went to the Twilight Snow Realm with Uncle Hua. At that time, the letter was stained with blood. Chongming, everyone in my family read it, but none of them could understand it. It was brought back with it was Uncle Hua's suicide note, which said it was only a small part of the whole secret, which he called ' The end of all things', the more you know, the more despair you will feel. Uncle Hua also said that the Green Bamboo Letter only recognizes the Hua family, and if possible, Chongming should never see it."

"Why? But he wrote a line on the last bamboo slip, written in Chinese, and asked Hua Chongming to kill Bai Ze! Can you think of it this way? From the bottom of his heart, he wanted Hua Chongming to see it..."

"No, that's not the case." Lin Chuchen raised his head, his usually calm eyes raised thousands of waves, and the pupils full of moonlight trembled slightly, "If he saw it, then...then all of this has already developed It's irretrievable, killing Bai Ze is the last way for Hua Chongming to survive."

A thin layer of sweat oozed from Zhang Shiqi's forehead. He was silent for a long time before tentatively asking: "In this case, why didn't Hua Rong destroy the letter?"

"Let me tell you the truth, no one can destroy it, even if it is burned to ashes and turned into powder, it will still quietly recover in a corner where there is no one, even if Hua Chongming has never seen it, even if no one in the world Knowing what it is, it will exist, and it will exist forever and ever. This was discovered after Hua Rong brought it out, but it was too late, it was stained with the breath of the world, and could not return to its original place —it came from the Great Hell."

Not only Hua Chongming, but the Lin family are all lunatics. They know such a terrible thing, but they can still live a leisurely life, and no one escapes because of it!Zhang Shiqi felt pain in his back, as if he had been pierced with a hundred needles, "That is to say, if they go to Wanfo Mountain to find the abbot who sealed the Tujin man's curse seal back then, and know more secrets, who cares?" Words are not a good thing?"

"What? Are they going to Wanfo Mountain?" Lin Chuchen stood up abruptly, ignoring Zhang Shiqi's identity, pulled him up and left: "Where are they now, we can't let them go! It's all over , no one needs to pay anything for the past, Chongming already knows too many things he shouldn't know, and we can't let him fall into more confusion."

When the two arrived at Jingcheng Temple where Hua Chongming and Bai Ze were hiding, the temple was already empty.

Zhang Shiqi glanced at the empty secret room, and shrugged helplessly at Lin Chuchen: "It's still a step late, they are quicker than us."

"Bai Ze is still injured, and they dare not hire a carriage, so they shouldn't be able to run far."

"That's not necessarily true, my pig-brained head, do you think Bai Ze is a little bird demon, who can only be slaughtered once injured?" Zhang Shiqi sighed and pointed to the few apples left on the table: "He But the King of Ten Thousand Monsters, not to mention being in the Twilight Snow Realm, even if you go to any remote mountain village, the mountain spirits and tree demons living there will willingly listen to him. If he wants fruit, the bird demons will definitely fly to the tallest tree Pick the best ones for him and bring them to him. He wants food. The rabbits and wild deer captured by the wolves and demons can bury him on top of his head. If he wants to take Hua Chongming somewhere, even if we forcefully chase him there, the monsters and ghosts along the way are enough for us. of."

Indeed, at this time, Bai Ze had already taken Hua Chongming for more than a hundred miles. The bird demon sitting in front of the car and acting as a groom had a good voice, and the spring blossoms sang all the way, making the car enjoy the white song of the snake demon beating his legs. Ze is very satisfied.

"Bailing, what's the name of this song?"

Bai Ze knows the names of all the ghosts in the world. The ghosts respect him, but they are also afraid of him. No monster dares to neglect his questions.

"It's "The Funeral", my lord, there are so many good tunes, why do you only like this one?"

The name of the song is very unlucky, and the content is even more unlucky. It was written by the old tree who complained all day long in the forest. It is said that it is to commemorate a mortal who died at his feet 300 years ago.

"My lord, do you think it's a coincidence? Although he is a mortal, the aura exuding from his eyebrows is outstanding. The old tree spirit said that he is exactly the same as the portrait left by grandpa's grandpa!"

"Oh? Which one is painted in the portrait?"

The bird demon gave a "puchi" smile, and his handsome face showed three points of awe and seven points of admiration: "It's Zhulu, the world-renowned god of war, Zhulu!"

"Ah, that mortal's name is Xiao Ling, and he is the sixth reincarnation of Zhulu. Unfortunately, I haven't cultivated human form yet, so I can't see it with my own eyes. I just saw it in a dream made by a few snow demons." Bai Ze lay down on his back, his slender five fingers Putting it on the forehead of Hua Chongming who was sleeping soundly, he sighed lightly: "Emperor Kuguo I, the ninth emperor, this is the fate of fighting against the heavens."
