Chapter 18: Capture the Wraith Alive

After settling everyone, Mu Yuze took Feng Luan and Li Yuanwai to the inner room to discuss the next plan. According to what has been learned, it was decided to recruit some more family members to count the girls between the ages of sixteen and twenty who were not missing in the city, and the housekeeper of the Li Mansion would be in charge. Mu Yuze and Feng Luan explored the remaining missing spots during the day, trying to catch a resentful spirit.

In the past few days, the news of the evil spirit catching the girl has spread in the city, and the whole city knows that there is a god in the family outside Li Yuanwai, and those girls who have not disappeared are all thinking of coming to the Li family for refuge, and as soon as the housekeeper of the Li Mansion posted the recruitment notice, a large group of men, women and children came to line up in front of the gate of the Li Mansion, for fear that they would be late and would not have the opportunity to get the protection of the gods. This is also something that everyone did not expect, in the face of so many people, Li Yuanwai temporarily decided to buy several houses around the Li Mansion to house the people who sought protection. But there were so many people, at first it was just young girls, and in the end it became a mix of men, women, and children. Looking at the out-of-control scene, Li Yuanwai was sweating, although he had money, he couldn't support so many people!

Feng Luan looked at Li Yuanwai's helpless appearance, and gently pulled down the corner of Mu Yuze's clothes, "Little brother, in fact, you can take these people to the county office." ”

"Well, don't make a mess, that county order is not a good person! How can you let so many people pass?" Mu Yuze replied to Feng Luan angrily.

"Oh, listen to me! Just go to the yamen, I promise there will be no problem!" Feng Luan naughtily stuck out his tongue and made Mu Yuze roll his eyes. But now there is no way, so I simply listened to Feng Luan's suggestion to go to the yamen to have a look.

When this group of people heard that they were going to the yamen, they all fell silent, and they all returned to their homes to stop doing anything. Everyone in the city knows that the county government is a den of thieves, and only Mu Yuze and Fengluan don't know.

"Eh, that's not right! Feng Luan, how did you know that those people in the county government would disperse? I didn't expect you stupid birds to use their brains?" Mu Yuze teased Feng Luan!

"I? I don't know, I just know that the yamen is empty!"

"How do you know?"

"You left me there, I want to leave and they won't let me, so I'll help them calm down!" Feng Luan pretended to be very aggrieved and explained!

Li Yuanwai couldn't help but speak when he heard this, "Shaoxia, you, you actually left Miss Fengluan alone in the yamen? You really don't know who Liu Baoyu is?" Looking at Mu Yuze's puzzled face, Li Yuanwai told all the things Liu Baoyu had done in the past.

"Oh my God! I didn't expect this county order to be such a person. Feng Luan, what happened to them?" Without waiting for Feng Luan to reply, he ran to the yamen, followed by Li Yuanwai, and when he arrived at the yamen, he saw that there were ice sculptures of the yamen and servants everywhere. Frightened, Li Yuanwai sat directly on the ground and asked Feng Luan tremblingly, "You did this, this, this?"

"Yes~"

How do you look at Fengluan, a girl with white skin and beautiful temperament, she doesn't look like such a cold person, Mu Yuze helped Li Yuanwai and explained, "My sister is a veritable ice and snow beauty~"

"Are they all dead?"

"It's not going to die, it's just frozen!" said as he waved his jade hand, and the ice shattered in an instant, and the people inside fell to the ground with their hands on their shoulders, their bodies trembling constantly.

The three of them continued to walk towards the inside of the yamen, and Liu Baoyu, who was thawing, was so frightened that he rolled around when he saw Fengluan, and kept shouting, "Spare your life, spare your life, I don't dare anymore!"

Mu Yuze saw that these people were not dead, and took Fengluan and Li Yuanwai to prepare to return to the Li Mansion, and just after leaving the yamen, he didn't go far when he heard someone crying, "Granddaughter, where are you, come back quickly!"

Xunsheng walked and found that it was an old woman, and several people hurriedly stepped forward to inquire, it turned out that another girl was missing, but this time it was missing during the day, and this disappearance made several people puzzled, the previous girls were all missing at night, why did this disappear during the day? Leaving Li Yuanwai to appease the old woman, Mu Yuze and Feng Luan entered the house to search for evil spirits, but before they reached the door, the door suddenly closed automatically, and they couldn't push it open when they walked quickly, but Mu Yuze took out the Sword of the Emperor and slashed hard, and the door was safe and sound, but he was shocked back a few steps by a force rebound. Feng Luan held Mu Yuze steady, and released spiritual power with both hands to freeze the entire house into a huge ice cube.

"Is it still in there?"

"They're in! They can't break through my freeze!"

The two took Li Yuanwai and the old woman back to the Li Mansion.

Li Yuanwai arranged for a few family members to go to the old woman's house to guard, and if there was a change in the ice, someone would report it in time.

Under the comfort of the families of other missing people in the Li Mansion, the old woman's mood gradually stabilized, and she told Mu Yuze and others about the process of her granddaughter's disappearance.

"At noon that day, I was washing vegetables in the yard, and my granddaughter was cooking in the house, and I wanted to ask my granddaughter to rest, but as soon as I arrived at the door, a gust of wind blew out of the house, and I couldn't open my eyes, so I had to squat on the ground. But when the wind stopped, my granddaughter disappeared into the house. At this, the old woman began to sob again.

Mu Yuze looked around the living room for a while and thought to himself, there is a new question, it was originally missing at night, why is it that the girl is missing during the day now, could it be that the evil spirit behind this is in urgent need of souls? If this is really the case, then it is necessary to protect all the girls in the city now. Thinking of this, he called the butler, "Have you counted how many girls there are in the city?"

"Shaoxia, the specific number has not yet been counted, but these girls are all placed in the mansions around the Li Mansion. If you want to specify the number of people, I'll ask someone to check. ”

"Butler, don't count the number of people. "As long as you know that these girls are around you now, it's better to wait than to take the initiative. "Feng Luan, can you find a way to put the Li Mansion and the surrounding mansions where the girls are placed with enchantments?In addition, the entrance to the enchantment on the west side should be a little weaker, and there will be another trap!" Recalling the experience of fishing for frogs in Jingyue Lake, Mu Yuze smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

After everything was arranged, Li Yuanwai praised and said, "The young man is really the dragon and phoenix among people, turning passive into active, and the old man admires and admires." ”

"I'm just giving it a try. If my guess is correct, there will soon be a ghost!" Unexpectedly, there was no movement for three days. Even if Feng Luan clears the enchantment on the west side, there are no resentful spirits entering. Just when everyone was discussing whether Mu Yuze could do it, a family member ran over in a panic, "Master, the young man is not good, the ice cube in the old woman's house suddenly turned black for some reason." ”

Mu Yuze said secretly, "Finally, there is a situation!" took Fengluan to the old woman's house to check the situation. "Feng Luan, can you see what's going on?" At this time, Mu Yuze was also very helpless, if he could improve his cultivation and obtain it, he would be able to see the existence of resentful spirits.

"The spirits in here are still there, but I don't know why my ice has turned black. Just when the two of them were puzzled, the wind was fierce, and all the surrounding family members lay on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads, even Mu Yuze barely opened his eyes, but he couldn't see the surroundings clearly. After a while, the wind stopped, and a young girl stood in the middle of the courtyard like Li Caifeng.

When she got closer, the girl opened her mouth and said, "I return your clan, you let my clan go." The same is expressionless, and he keeps muttering that sentence repeatedly.

"Bring it back first!" instructed a few family members to carry the girl back to the Li Mansion, along the way Mu Yuze has been thinking, if he agrees to exchange, then although the girl's body can come back, but what is the use of having no soul and only the body? Thinking of this, he turned his head and asked Feng Luan, "If we can retrieve the souls of these girls, do you have a way to restore them?"

"Don't forget, my ancestor is a phoenix, a phoenix, and the tears of the phoenix are the elixir that heals all things! Speaking of this, Feng Luan showed a silly white and sweet smile again, and stuck out his tongue at Mu Yuze and stopped talking.

"But what? You mean, it's mysterious at a critical moment?" Mu Yuze knocked Feng Luan's brain, "Human life is at stake, what is it?"

"But... I've never cried!"

"Haha, it's okay, I'll help you!"

The family carrying the girl behind him couldn't help but tremble and asked, "Shaoxia, what is in the ice?"

"In your words, it is likely to be an evil spirit that is said in the Qiyang Mountain, but it is not a secret, the myths and stories of the ancient times are all true, and we are in the mountains。。。。。 Facing Jiading's questions, Mu Yuze told Jiading all the stories of his past ten years along the way, after all, it is useless to solve the misunderstanding between the human race and the ape god race, and these people who are currently placed in the Li Mansion do not say too much gossip, mainly because it is possible to find their relatives only by relying on themselves at the moment. Once the truth about the disappearance of the problem is revealed, there will still be many voices of doubt. So the best way to deal with this situation is to spread it in a similar way, and if you change the same role, it will have a different effect.

After the few people returned to the Li Mansion, the old woman hurriedly ran to her, and when she saw her granddaughter who kept muttering, "I will return your clan, you let my clan go", tears fell like rain.

Li Yuanwai called Mu Yuze and the others into the inner room, "Shaoxia, what is this?"

"Listening to her words, you can conclude that the leader of this wraith wants to exchange the body of a girl for the wraith frozen by me. Now that the people are back, I'm going to release it?" Feng Luan replied first.

Mu Yuze looked helpless, "Say you're stupid, you're really not smart." How can I put it?"

Seeing this, Li Yuanwai hurriedly explained, "Woman, do you think that when the resentful spirits are in dire need of souls, they didn't even touch the trap we had set up for three days, but chose to return the body in exchange. This just shows how important the frozen wraiths are!"

"That's right. The resentful spirits have always been preying on girls at night, and combined with the fact that the time of Li Caifeng's return last time was also daytime, it can be determined that the resentful spirits of ordinary cultivation do not dare to act in the daylight, and this guy's crimes during the day are enough to show that its cultivation status is not ordinary, or that it may be hiding a secret so that other resentful spirits do not dare to act rashly. Looking at Feng Luan, whose IQ was almost zero, Mu Yuze patiently explained, "This resentful spirit is our bargaining chip, if my cultivation can be higher, I can talk to them! Now they can negotiate terms with us through the girl's body, but we can't do anything!" Speaking of this, Mu Yuze hammered down the table hard.

Feng Luan said again with an extremely unbeaten expression, "I can communicate! Don't ask me why I didn't say it sooner, because you didn't ask." After saying that, he got up from his chair and ran out of the door.

Li Yuanwai, who was originally nervous, was amused and laughed. And Mu Yuze pointed at Feng Luan, wanting to say but couldn't speak.
