Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

Chapter 58

Before a pair of eyes could see clearly, the beggar "disappeared"; to be precise, he became something exactly like the meatballs spread in the street.At the moment when the child was frightened, a trace of Yunli's soul was affected, and a memory in the child's mind was transmitted back:

The little girl and the little boy were sitting in the yard playing, and an old man with gray hair and long beard came from a distance, following the smoke from the kitchen. He stood by the door with a cane, begging the two children for food.The little girl guarded her brother behind her, saying that Auntie and aunt did not cook your food, and told the old man to leave quickly.The old man was obviously very hungry, so he came in tremblingly, and walked towards the kitchen room step by step, wanting to meet the adults of the two children.

The boy tugged at the little girl's skirt, sniffled and said, "Sister, I'm afraid of bad people"; the little girl pressed his head, picked him up, and was about to go around to the back of the house, trying to notify the old man of unknown origin before he came to visit. My mother and aunt.

So far everything has been normal, except for two insecure kids who are overly nervous.

However, within three steps of the little girl, the old man with handicapped legs was suddenly "tripped".The old man subconsciously tried to grab the crutches that had fallen to the side, but there was an invisible brute force dragging him, constantly reducing the distance he could crawl forward.Then, the force suddenly became stronger, and a hoarse cry was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't rush out until he turned into a sauce due to the extremely fast friction.

The little girl fell to the ground, and the boy fell on his sister, his eyes were blank.

A bright white light flashed in front of him, Yun Li rubbed his eyes, and suddenly felt that the soles of his feet were not solid, but fortunately, he was supported by his hands.He supported Su Tong to stop, opened his eyes, and saw the child squatting beside him sobbing, holding his clothes to wipe his nose.When he came back to his senses, there would be no beggars—the butcher surrounded by minced meat seemed to be in a slaughterhouse.The little scholars pulled him out, but he was nailed to the spot without moving.

"Did you see it, did you see it..." The butcher seemed to want to hug his head and shout, but his formable gestures were only frozen in mid-air, and the voice in his mouth was only murmuring hoarsely, "Damn Gan Chengjia is back!" Now, the surname Gan is getting more and more rampant." Yun Li tapped lightly on his still aching head, and said helplessly, "It's not the Gan Cheng family."

The butcher shrank his shoulders and squatted down very slowly; gradually, several days of fear and panic came together, crushing him into a helpless ball.

Yunli: "It's not him, it's..."

The butcher yelled: "What is that?! Who did we provoke in Huzhou? One surname is not enough, and there are other messy dog ​​things coming to scare people!" He roared loudly and coughed A few times, pounding the ground and laughing.Yun Li saw that his spirit was barely normal, so he waited for him to scold for a while before turning to look at the child.

The child's eyes full of tears flickered, and his face was full of "Who am I where am I going?" Yun Li reached out to hug him, and he cried and said that I wanted to find A Niang; Yun Li felt something was wrong , pointed to himself and asked, "Do you know who I am?" The little boy shook his head in a daze, and although he obediently let him hug him, he kept clamoring for Auntie.

Yunli: "Then do you know who this brother is?"

Shaking his head.

The child is fine, but the people I met after getting sick can't remember.

"This is Brother Su, do you think Brother Su looks like a bad guy?"

"Not like."

"Do you think I look like a bad guy?"

"Not like."

"Where are these brothers?" Yun Li poked his head, leading him to look at the little scholars who were waving and smiling at him.

"Not like."

"Then do you think that brother Yuchi over there looks like a bad guy?" On Yunli's shoulder, she curled her mouth and sucked her finger.Yunli: "Do you know where your family lives?" "My mother said that my family is in Shuzhou to cultivate bamboo, and there is a grinding place in the yard." "Who is your mother?" "Yuyu's mother."" Who is 'Yuyu'?" "It's me." "Which 'Yuyu'?" "The one from Yuyu." "..."

Yun Li saw that he had stopped crying, so he let him down: "I'll take you back to Xiuzhu to find Auntie, okay?"

"it is good."

Yunli asked Yuyu to play with the little scholars at the side first, then pulled Su Tong to the side of the corpse, pointed along the drag marks on the ground, and said, "Extend these, where are they referring?" Su Tong Knowing that he didn't mean to ask himself, he still answered: "The capital city." Yun Li murmured, folded his arms thoughtfully; Su Tong went over to ask the butcher, "Have people like this often passed by before?" The butcher recalled that there were all kinds of people. After all, although this place is small, the roads are well-connected. It's just that I haven't seen so many beggars in good years.

Yun Li took a glance and saw that Yu Chiling was collecting those "corpse auras" again, so he leaned closer to his bottle and smelled it, making sure that the aura in the bottle was still the same.

Yunli: "What is the stick for?"

Yuchi Ling: "..."

Yunli: "You and Nie Cang are very close, and Nie Qiu is Nie Cang's fellow apprentice, so you don't know about it." Yuchiling put the lid on, moved to another group of corpses, remained silent for a while, and said: " It is of the same nature as the stake tied to the sheep. The 'sheep' pulled out the stake and ran away by itself; but there is a certain formation in the 'sheep farm' that will summon the missing 'sheep' at any time. If the 'sheep' does not bring If you step on the stake that once imprisoned you, you will be pulled back by the formation."

"You didn't tell me sooner."

Yuchiling said annoyed: "I've only heard about it, but I haven't seen it. Before seeing it with my own eyes, how can I connect them with the wizard's formation? And how do I know how many 'stakes' there are in that formation? A broken stick?!" At the end, he added: "Besides, who would have thought that the people in the formation would escape so far? Who would have thought that the 'sheep' who are too far away will have this kind of result when they are summoned by the formation ?”

"..."

Yuchi Ling: "Do you think... Nie Qiu imprisoned these people in the capital?"

"if not."

"impossible!"

Yun Li stared at him: "How is it impossible?"

Yu Chiling: "Neiqiu has made such a big move in the capital, and the national teacher will not know it for so long?" Yunli: "Obviously, the formation you mentioned is in the direction of the capital, so there must be a wizard behind it. ? You say it’s impossible, so how do you want to explain it? The National Teacher is 'sight-sighted’, so you won’t be able to detect it. If you say this, the formation was built by the National Teacher?" Yuchi Ling: "..." Yunli: "The most important thing is that the breaths you collected belong to Nie Qiu."

Although he didn't want to believe it, but the evidence was convincing, Yun Li really couldn't convince himself that Nie Qiu was just a bad wizard who was framed and had bad luck as before.

Yunli: "Aren't you in a hurry to go back to the capital? That's just right." After losing contact with Wizard Po for a long time, Yunli couldn't help but feel a little sad when thinking of him in such a situation.He looked at Su Tong and realized that it would be difficult to say "Su Qiuguang's death has nothing to do with Nie Qiu" in the future.After the "ghost man" who was rumored to avenge murders, what tricks is that bad wizard doing? !

Everyone was silent for a long time, but the butcher suddenly flashed over, as if he was afraid that everyone would run away, and said: "Master Yuchi, Mr. Yun, Mr. Su, you can't go... I beg you on behalf of everyone, help us catch the surname Gan Let’s talk later.” He invited Yunli to come to Huzhou, intending to take this opportunity to completely clear away the demons in himself and his neighbors, but Yunli repeatedly said that this matter has nothing to do with the Gan family’s father and daughter, and that the person they want to arrest is far away. In the capital.

Yunli thought for a while, and asked Yuchiling and Su Tong to go back to Beijing first, and he went to Yaoshan with the butcher tonight.

The butcher stared wide-eyed: "Young Master Yun, are you coming with me tonight...to the mountain?"

Yunli said: "Gan Chengjia and Gan Sang won't come out when they see me. If they really want revenge, naturally you can only lure them out." The butcher was arranged for some reason, and opened his mouth , then realized that if he missed Yunli, he would not be able to sleep well for the rest of his life, so he nodded in agreement.

Yun Li said clearly: "If you mess around again this time, don't mention me, even the Emperor of Heaven will not be able to save you." The scholar took it back from there, then patted the "broken sword" on his waist, and said to Su Tong: "You go first, I will come after tonight, maybe I will arrive before you."

Su Tong frowned: "Are you going to the capital?"

Yunli wanted to say that he regarded Nie Qiu as a friend anyway, and he must know how the Poor Wizard died; but he didn't say that, but gave Yu Chiling a sideways look, smiled and said: "My face is exhausted. , I haven’t heard that the emperor wants to see me recently, no matter how dense the internet in the capital is, it should be closed now.” Yuchiling pretended not to hear, covered the last small porcelain bottle, and said back to Su Tong: “Brother Juegui Who is Mr. Yun? He is a disciple of Xiaoyao from Xianmen. Don't worry, Mr. Yun himself will spare his life... Besides, what happened to the capital? Why can't Mr. Yun go to the capital? Brother Juegui is afraid that Mr. Yun will leave his leg Is it sour?"

Yunli: "..."

Everyone went back the same way, Yunli stuffed Su Tong into the carriage they came in first, and then stuffed Yuchi Ling into it.Considering that Yuchiling wanted to take a look at him less, and never wanted to come down and stay for half a second, Yunli happened to block the traffic door with him, making it difficult for Su Tong to come down.With three carriages, Yun Li personally "divided" the returnees to Beijing, and then watched them go away.

……

"What is Brother Yun thinking?" Yuyu held his finger and raised her head.

Yun Li patted his head, but didn't speak, Yu Yu blinked, and patted the back of his hand knowingly to "comfort" him.

The butcher took the two of them back to his home, started cooking in a room where visitors were rare, and set out a few dishes.Yunli fed the fish and ate a bowl of rice, stayed with the butcher until evening, locked the door, and set off for the mountain where the Cheng family used to gather medicine.The closer we get to the mountain, the later the weather or the heavier the cloudiness, the temperature becomes lower and lower, and when the wind blows, people only feel bitingly cold.

Yun Li carried Yu Yu into his bag and kept it, while he drew out his "broken sword" and walked behind the butcher.

The mountains are empty and silent, and the winter night is awe-inspiring.

Late-flying birds only return at far, far distances.

Taking advantage of the Butcher's inattention, Yun Li slowed down and finally stopped.After a while, the Butcher realized that there was no one behind him, and his expression changed drastically with fright, as if his soul had gone out of his body; Yun Li gestured to him, asking him to continue walking, and then put his index finger on his lips to tell him to keep quiet .The butcher couldn't say whether he regretted it or not, he hesitated for a moment, then walked forward with a certain sense of responsibility.

Yunli didn't have a special way to lure ghosts out of the mountain.If the butcher can't attract the father and daughter of the Gan family tonight on Yaoshan, it probably only means that Gan Chengjia and Gan Sangshi have untied their knots and crossed the Naihe Bridge to cross the Wangchuan River.

clank.

"Broken Sword" trembled.

There is really something.

Yun Li turned around with his sword in his hand, but he didn't see anything unusual around him, so he thought it must be the bad luck of the one in front.When he turned back to the original place, he saw the butcher turned his head and ran wildly. He lost his voice in fright, and shouted exaggeratedly, "Young Master Yun, there is a ghost behind me!" He took the bag and said to Yuyu, "Brother let uncle come in to accompany you", then pointed the mouth of the bag in the direction where the butcher was running, and rescued the butcher into the bag.

At the same time, "Broken Sword" sprang up by itself, and lay in front of Yunli.

A shadow moving at full speed stopped.

The double image disappeared, and a delicate face appeared, showing fear of the aura on the "broken sword".The female ghost stared at Yunli's bag for a long time, then stepped back slowly, meeting Yunli's gaze in fear.The female ghost was terrified: "Can you see me?!" Yundi said, "Why can't you see... Uh, you are Gan Sang?"

The female ghost was extremely bewildered, she couldn't help stepping back, and said in a trembling voice: "You, are you from the sky?"

Yun Li cleared his throat, took some of the essence of Master's "pretentiousness" and came over, just nodded and didn't make a sound.When he saw "Gan Sang" before, the little girl was already dilapidated, and he didn't know what Gan Sang looked like; just now he only felt that the female ghost in front of him was somewhat similar to Gan Cheng's family, but he didn't expect it to be so. It's just a psychological effect, and I misunderstood the "person".

The female ghost said: "I, I don't have enough experience, I don't know people, I hope, I hope I didn't collide with the fairy."

inexperienced?

Yunli: "Clashing is not true, but you...have you ever seen two ghosts on this mountain, one named Gan Chengjia and the other Gan Sang?" The female ghost shook her head and said no, Yunli said in surprise: "Didn't you Today, meeting them before counts. Do you know where they often hang out?"

"Xianjun, when Po Meng sent me to this mountain, I was the only one on the mountain. Later, other ghosts came here at night. There are no people on this mountain, and they can't do any big things. The people who come here are little ghosts and little monsters. Xianjun is looking for seniors with names and surnames, so he really shouldn't come here."

Yun Li came to a sudden: "Are you the tear-picking girl under Granny Meng?"

"……Yes."

"When did Po Meng send you to this mountain?"

"Just in October this year. Mrs. Meng said that when I was a wandering soul, I had grievances and sins. I don't want to be a human again, so she erased my memory and made me a tear-picking girl, temporarily banning me in this mountain." You can only come out of the mountain when your life is full. Xianjun, this mountain is barren and uninhabited, but all free ghosts and monsters will not stay for long. If you want to find someone, you should go elsewhere. Stay here and ask again. There is no news."

"Did Granny Meng tell you what crimes you have committed?"

"Calling Yin to kill people... Slaying the plague and massacring the city."

Yunli: "Did she also say that you have a father who did these things with you?"

The little ghost girl was stunned and said, "How did the fairy know that?"

Yun Li smiled and said, "Did Granny Meng tell you where your father is?" Perhaps it was because of too much hatred and lingering for too long that he would be caught and punished by the underworld. Unexpectedly, the female ghost continued: "The master said, thinking of my father and me, the King of Hades gave us a chance to correct our sins, otherwise we may be punished." Put into the fire of karma and burn yourself for thousands of years."

Yun Li looked away and stopped asking.

Since Gansang has forgotten the unhappiness in life and even "after life", if she asks more questions, I'm afraid she should connect certain things together; If the past memory comes back again, if you want to clear it for the second time, it will not be solved by a bowl of soup.

There has long been no Gan Cheng's family, nor Gan Sang on this mountain.

Yunli: "Then I'll go ask elsewhere."

The little ghost made a bow, then flipped her hands back to hold an iron hook in her hand; she raised her head, and was about to say goodbye, but suddenly stared at Yunli's eyebrows, and moved closer as if wanting to confirm something.Yun Li subconsciously touched his eyebrows, but obviously there wasn't a small flying insect sitting there, so naturally he didn't touch anything.

"Xianjun, you are being targeted."

Yun Li blinked in puzzlement.

The little female ghost showed a look of concentration on reading, and said seriously: "Ghosts with unresolved grievances or unresolved love will plant marks on the target so that they can be easily found in the future. Well, it can't be wrong... Xianjun, you There are marks of ghosts here, so be careful." She pointed to her eyebrows to indicate the position of the mark, "This kind of mark is not easy for others to see, but as the same kind, I can easily see it. of."

Yunli pondered: Is there any ghost in memory who wants to find him to resolve grievances or make love?

The little ghost said: "Has the fairy thought of anything? If there is no candidate, the fairy should go back to heaven as soon as possible; ghosts can escape to the underworld privately, but without the decree, they will definitely not be able to go there. If you don't leave a chance, it will definitely not go to heaven." will get entangled, and the marks will soon disappear."

……

Yun Li thanked them, and the two parted ways.Unable to think, Yun Li took Yu Yu out of the bag, and then handed him in to give the butcher a hand.The butcher was still in a state of shock, turned his head to look in the direction of "just now", and saw a completely different scenery around him, only then did he realize that he had been taken down the mountain.

"Mr. Yun, where is the surname? Have you caught the surname?"

"No."

The butcher took a deep breath, slapped his thigh fiercely, and forcibly held back a curse word.

"Gan Chengjia and Gan Sang are not on this mountain anymore."

"How does Mr. Yun know?"

Yun Li made up his mind, "I asked the ghost king in this mountain, saying that they were captured by the underworld and would never come back." The butcher doubted his belief, "Mr. Yun, do you dare to say that we can move back?"

"Don't worry about moving back, even if there are evil spirits... they won't be looking for you."
