Chapter 148: The Imperial Capital Ghost Night Talk
By the time the group walked out of Weimanlou after eating and drinking, it was already late at night, and Lan De and Lan Xun originally wanted to drink some wine, but Mo Kongjing never nodded when he proposed, and the two who couldn't get approval could only eat food and drink some tea.
Straight late at night, although autumn is not cold, but the evening breeze is still a little cool.
As soon as I came out of Weimanlou, I was full of food and drink, and there was still a warm current in my body, but when this cold wind blew, I felt a chill in my bones.
The past two days have happened to be eventful, and the bizarre deaths of hundreds of people in the suburbs of the imperial capital that have been circulating recently have been secretly said by many ordinary people to be unjust souls asking for their lives.
In the middle of the night when there was no one, the streets and alleys were silent again, and the two princes suddenly felt a little weak. Originally, there was nothing, but coincidentally, this bizarre murder case was not the first case here in the imperial capital, and the two of them had also seen the dead corpse with their own eyes.
Bizarre dissected lungs, smiling, and peaceful, just the sight of the corpse makes the hairs stand on end.
Such a silent, windy and dark night, walking quietly on the street in the middle of the night, reminded the two of them of the strange corpse.
"Hey, I said you two?" Quietly inserted between the two, patted the shoulders of the two people one by one, and Mo Kongjing was about to ask them why they were so weak that they broke out in a cold sweat.
Who would have thought that these two princes were directly taken aback, and even shouted out loud.
Lan Xun is fine, but he is a little frightened. After turning around and seeing that it was Mo Kongjing, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Auntie doesn't know, the bizarre murder cases in the imperial capital in the past few days are really weird. And the murderer haunts the impermanence, and we still don't even know who did it. It's the first time we've gone back so late, and there's no one on the way."
Hearing Lan Xun's voice getting lower and lower, Mo Kongjing could only nod lightly to show his understanding, yes, how could they experience those crooked things in the imperial capital all year round. What's more, this time it's really a ghost making trouble.
It really can't be blamed for the two of them for being timid, but they all caught up.
It's just that this second prince is a little bolder!
The corners of his mouth cramped as he watched as Lan De's whole body was sweating profusely, and his body had been trembling and unable to move since just now. At this moment, hiding behind Lan Xun, he looked like his soul was scared away.
As the prince of the imperial capital, how can he be so promising! Is this a night walk or how to drop?
Pinching his chin solemnly, Mo Kongjing suddenly had an idea, and his black eyes rolled a few times. A sinister smile appeared on his face.
It is rumored that the Buddhist temple on the outskirts of the imperial capital is located on the outskirts of the imperial capital. However, the original paths around it have been covered by overgrown weeds, and due to the disrepair, few people come here to worship over time.
Seeing this, the monks in the Buddhist temple could only pack up their salutes and go elsewhere to make a living, and the Buddhist temple that had been uninhabited for a long time gradually fell into disuse.
Kicking the collapsed pillar under his feet, Mo Kongjing shrugged helplessly, the rumors were really not credible. It is said that this Buddhist temple was abandoned because of the remote terrain and overgrown weeds, but for such a large Buddhist temple, most of the Buddha statues are gilded and carefully polished. It doesn't matter what it is. It can be seen that in its heyday, it must be a famous big Buddha temple with strong incense.
All the way from the Buddha hall to the guest room. Walking to the general room where the monks lived, Mo Kongjing finally stopped at the tired small firewood room in the backyard.
In the holy land of Buddhism, there has been a strong resentment hovering in the sky, and this level of resentment can definitely break away the imperial purple qi in the imperial capital.
The place where the resentment is the strongest is this small firewood house, what happened to make the Buddhist holy land contain such a huge and amazing resentment?
"Auntie, why are we—why are we here here? There was an eerie "everywhere" Lan De, whose teeth were chattering, even nested his whole body behind Lan Xun at this moment.
Lan Xun, who was also frightened and a little chilled behind his back, could only forcibly follow behind Mo Kongjing, and on the surface, he really had a calm and calm style.
Hearing the frightened voice behind him, Mo Kongjing rolled his eyes impatiently, and his hand in rummaging through the pyres did not stop. "You don't want to see who the killer is? This bizarre murder case in the imperial capital is not so simple. ”
Patting her dusty hands, she looked around, there should be nothing wrong here, except that the pyres look quite old, there is nothing suspicious.
And so on suspicious places?
Mo Kongjing raised his head again and stared around, and finally touched the damp wall without believing in evil. It's so strange that this place has been renovated before? The places I have just visited all look very old, and some places have begun to decay, but how can this little firewood house look so new?
If it was not built later than other places, then someone had deliberately renovated this small firewood house, then it is even more strange, such a large Buddhist temple, other places are very old, and even the Buddha statues are a little damaged. So how could such an inconspicuous little firewood house be new?
'Giggle, cluck' A strange ring-like laughter came, more ethereal than normal people's laughter, this string of laughter seemed to be more ethereal, so that people couldn't hear from which direction it came from!
And this laughter is very much like the laughter of a baby!
Lan De, whose legs were trembling, grabbed Lan Xun's shoulders tightly, the expression on his face couldn't help but bring panic, and there was even a cry in his voice, "Auntie, auntie, let's go quickly!" ”
Glancing at the two behind him, Mo Kongjing said extremely calmly: "With me, what are you afraid of." ”
'Cluck, cluck. ’
The laughter was uninterrupted, sometimes loud and sometimes calm, and it was indescribably strange in this small firewood room at the moment.
Outside the house, there were dark shadows, old dead branches began to sway in the hazy moonlight, and the sound of ropes pulling up and down could be heard in the well outside the small firewood house.
The sound of gurgling water is so clear in the silence of the night, and the sound of the water accompanied by the grinding of the ropes makes people sound particularly harsh at the moment. The hairs on his body couldn't help but stand upside down, and Lan Xun stiffened his neck even more, and cold sweat wet the clothes on his back.
When he stiffened his neck and turned his head back to the outside, he saw the bucket floating in the air, and he trembled and pointed his fingers, and finally his eyes were black and he fell to the ground unconscious.
As soon as he fell, Lan De, who was nesting behind him, was uncovered, and the insecure Lan De subconsciously raised his head, and then saw the bucket that was obviously no one but was beaten up, and Lan Xun reacted to expectations, his eyes were closed, his neck was crooked, and he fell straight down
In the face of these two unpromising guys, Mo Kongjing's only reaction was to be speechless.
