The next day, Xu Yan came very early.

Tang Chengnian naturally wouldn't let him wait for a long time, basically, as soon as Xu Yan started, she heard it, and she, who had already been prepared, stepped on the point and pushed open the door - "Oops? You're here so early, aren't you? Tang Chengnian opened his mouth in surprise, taking the lead.

Xu Yan's stomach was full, so he had to hold it back in his stomach.

"Guest, the road to the south of the city is not close, we can leave now." Xu Yan took a breath before hurriedly speaking.

"No problem, let's go." Tang Chengnian immediately walked out of the house.

Xu Yan, who was originally ready to wait, had no choice but to say, "Please come with me." ”

Of course, Tang Chengnian could see that Xu Yan didn't really want to go to the Li family in the south of the city.

After all, when it comes to this kind of strange event, no one will just want to stay away, even if it is her previous life, once it is related to this kind of thing, she can really hide as far as she can, not to mention, is it still this cultivation world where ghosts have been proven to exist and can still cultivate? Xu Yan wanted to stay away, his mood, Tang Chengnian was understandable.

But Tang Chengnian also had her own things to do, and she couldn't let go of the slightest clue about that alchemist.

Even, on the surface, this rainy night phantom has nothing to do with the refining artifact...... However, this is a world tied to a portable game system, and depending on the game's premise, nothing is impossible. It is precisely for this reason that Tang Chengnian is willing to try to do this kind of potentially thankless task.

The Li family in the south of the city is really not close to the Yunlai Inn, and Xu Yan also hired a carriage and ran for a while to reach the Li family.

The Li family has moved out of their ancestral house, but first rented a house nearby to live.

After all, it was the ancestral house of the Li family, and it was impossible to give it up lightly, so the Li family never gave up on solving this matter.

Xu Yan got out of the car first, entered the house where the Li family temporarily lived, and informed them that someone was willing to help.

Out of it came an elegant man dressed as a scholar, dressed in a snow-white robe, spotless, and it was evident that he loved cleanliness - or rather had a habit of cleanliness. He looked cautious with every step he took, and it was no wonder that such a person could hardly endure that kind of weird house. But who made that house his ancestral home? Xu Yan led the person to the side of the carriage, and then let Tang Chengnian get out of the carriage and introduced her: "This is the master of the Li family." ”

Tang Chengnian nodded very politely, and introduced himself to the old man of the Li family named Li Shengming: "My surname is Tang." ”

"Don ...... Little Miss Tang ......" Li Shengming looked her up and down suspiciously, revealing a speculative expression.

Obviously, he didn't trust her.

It's no wonder that if Tang Chengnian had any problems with herself, an eight-year-old girl ran up to her and said that she could help, she would probably only throw her a piece of candy and let her stay where she had fun.

However, since Tang Chengnian is here, he naturally won't turn back the same way.

She jumped out of the car, walked up to Li Shengming very confidently, and said: "Please rest assured, Master Li, I will find a way to solve the trouble for you, even if I can't, I won't cause you new trouble, I just want to go to the place where the phantom came out to have a look, you just need to accompany me there, and then answer me a few simple questions, and leave the rest to me." ”

She estimated that Li Shengming was not at ease with her, and he was also afraid of losing his wife and losing his army.

Therefore, she simply said the words first, the suspicious haunted house, she went to break into it by herself, guarded it, and did not need to be accompanied by anyone, even if something happened, she would take responsibility for herself, and she would not involve the Li family in trouble.

Sure enough, after she said this, Li Shengming's expression looked much better.

In addition, Tang Chengnian spoke really smartly and confidently, but he was not complacent, which really gave Li Shengming a sense of trust.

So he nodded to Xu Yan, and agreed to let Tang Chengnian help.

Xu Yan saw Li Shengming nodding, and hurriedly looked at Tang Chengnian.

Tang Chengnian naturally said something reassuring to him: "Okay, there will be Master Li to lead the way later, you don't have to accompany me, you can go back to the inn." These are bounties, so take them. ”

After speaking, he also generously took out a piece of silver.

She believes that if the matter of the Li family can be solved, the remuneration given to her by the Li family will definitely not be less, so Tang Chengnian is also very generous and has no scruples. Besides, Li Shengming is still standing next to her, she looks generous, and she will definitely give this Li Shengming a different feeling than other people who come to the pit for money and cheat. Regardless of whether those people were abducted or not, but they did not solve the trouble of the Li Mansion, then, for Li Shengming, it was no different from being abducted and abducted.

When Tang Chengnian let Xu Yan go, Li Shengming's smile became much more sincere.

"Please come with me, our ancestral house is not far from here, and we will be there in a short walk." Li Shengming said very enthusiastically, considering that Tang Chengnian's calves were short, he also asked intimately, "However, if Miss Tang needs a means of transportation......

"Don't bother with it, just walk over there." Tang Chengnian waved his hand and refused directly.

She could see that Li Shengming also considered her.

If you can't even walk this little way, why talk about catching ghosts......

When she was walking on the road, Tang Chengnian was not idle, she had nothing to talk about with this Li Shengming anyway, so she hurriedly seized the time to ask about some things.

"Is there a lot of trouble like your mansion?" Tang Chengnian asked casually.

"What does Miss Tang mean by asking this?" Hearing Tang Chengnian's question, Li Shengming's expression immediately became very vigilant.

Tang Chengnian smiled and slightly dissipated some of the embarrassing atmosphere, and then said: "Oh, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious, after all, I've heard of the reputation of the ghost town of Xudu, and I don't understand how this nickname came about......"

"What 'ghost town', who made up the rumors!?" Li Shengming immediately raised his eyebrows.

Tang Chengnian was stunned, "Rumors? ”

"I also grew up here, and I've never heard of any 'ghost towns'! What's more, the name of the ghost city sounds very obscure, does this person have any deep hatred with the people of the capital city? Li Shengming looked really angry, but Tang Chengnian also noticed that when Li Shengming roared just now, a trace of strange feelings flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to be a little ...... Panic? Terrified?

Tang Chengnian showed a puzzled expression: "That's the case?" It seems that the person who told me about this is really ...... His heart can be punished ......"

"Yes, that man must have bad intentions!" Li Shengming listened and echoed without hesitation.

Tang Chengnian nodded, did not refute his words, and said: "I'm sorry, I don't know much about this, if what I said just now offended you, please understand." ”

"It's okay, little girl Tang, you are also being deceived." Seeing Tang Chengnian apologize so decisively, Li Shengming was embarrassed to chase this question, and hurriedly followed without hesitation.

"So, listen to what Master Li means, the phantom thing...... Only this one? Tang Chengnian asked again, and showed an embarrassed smile after speaking, as if he was afraid that Li Shengming would misunderstand, and immediately added, "Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else by asking like this, I just want to know if this is a special case, which is very helpful for me to solve the problem." ”

"I see, since this is the case, then I will naturally not hide it, but the phantom incident, as far as I know, is indeed only our family that has happened." Li Shengming said helplessly.

"I don't know, who did you invite before? Are they all right with the phantom? "Tang Chengnian's questions are endless.

However, she has already said that it is all to solve troubles, so Li Shengming is naturally embarrassed to blame her for having too many problems. For the tormented Li Shengming, he only hopes that this problem can be solved as soon as possible, and he really doesn't want this problem to drag on for too long. The man, who was dressed as a scholar, showed a look of determination, and then he replied, "Indeed, those people have not solved this matter. Some people have seen it and returned in vain, and some people have tried to stay in the practice, but who knows that after they stayed all night, they all passed out, and when they woke up, they were all confused, and they couldn't tell what had happened the night before. Over time, no one would come. ”

"Oh." Tang Chengnian nodded lightly, thoughtful.

She thought for a moment, then asked again, "Does the phantom appear every night, or does it happen on a rainy night?" ”

"Rainy night." Li Shengming replied without hesitation.

"Are you sure?" Although Tang Chengnian knew that Li Shengming would not deceive herself, she still asked again out of caution.

"Yes." Li Shengming nodded and said with great certainty. Then, with a hint of embarrassment, he explained why he was so sure, "I can't hide it, I've always been bold, and I personally squatted for several nights when this incident just broke out in our house. It's just that it didn't rain on those days, so I didn't see any phantoms, and I thought it was my family's dazzle. It was only a few days later, on the night after the rain, that several of our slaves and maids who were passing by in the backyard all saw the apparition and fainted, and the next day, like those who came to our house to solve their troubles, did not know anything about what had happened before they fell unconscious. Everyone was scared, so they quickly moved out of the ancestral house first. ”

"All unconscious?" Tang Chengnian confirmed, "All the people who saw that phantom on a rainy night were all unconscious, and after waking up, all of them couldn't say anything about what happened before they fell unconscious, and even forgot about it?" So, how could these people remember that they had seen that apparition? ”

Tang Chengnian consciously grasped the key point, so he asked with some joy.

It's just that Li Shengming still shook his head and replied, "This...... No one could tell, but when they woke up, they only remembered that they had seen a phantom, and that phantom seemed to be imprinted in their minds, and they couldn't forget it at all......"

The more Tang Chengnian listened, the more confused he became, but if he thought about it carefully, he forgot everything, but he still remembered the meaning of the phantom?

What does the phantom look like?

"What does the phantom look like, do they remember?" Tang Chengnian asked again.

They said...... It's a mess...... Colorful light and shadow ...... About Qi people are tall, the shape is a little irregular, a little erratic......" Li Shengming recalled, still full of muddy and unimaginable appearance. This kind of shape and color is a bit inappropriate to say that it is a human or a ghost, but it makes sense to say that it is a phantom.

Tang Chengnian's distress is the same as Li Shengming's, just by hearing people's descriptions, he really can't imagine what this thing looks like.

"Well, please take me to that backyard and let me see for myself." Tang Chengnian thought about it and made up his mind.

Li Shengming was surprised.

"Don, little girl Tang, are you going to spend the night there?"

"If it rains today, I'm afraid I'll just have to stay overnight." Tang Chengnian still casually said a joke.

It's just that Li Shengming couldn't laugh at all.

He advised: "Forget it, little girl Tang, this ...... It's too dangerous......"

Li Shengming and Tang Chengnian said this for a while, and they were also a little embarrassed to see her break into the fire pit, and admonished.

However, Tang Chengnian has already made up her mind, even if it is a fire pit, she will break through. RS
