Chapter 287: Female Ghost
Yuan Mao's face was heavy, and he raised his glass and drank the wine, "It was after the change in Yunyang, the imperial court summoned a group of Lehu women, saying that they were going to a certain place in the south to worship the mountain. ”
"Hmm." Hu Guiyang didn't quite understand what this meant.
"A total of 100 Lehu women, not allowed to take Yahuan, rushed to Yunyang Mansion by land, according to Du'er, at that time they were very urgent, almost day and night, many people got sick because of this, the escort guards just fed medicine, refused to stay for a moment, only a little rest in the post station along the way."
"Sounds like a rush." Hu Guiyang said casually.
"It can be said that 100,000 are urgent, and even more strange things are behind, they met women transferred from other places in Yunyang Mansion, a total of two or three people and hundreds of people, they didn't go to any festivals at all, they were all locked up in a courtyard, several people lived in one room, they were not allowed to take a step out of the door, and they were not even allowed to peep out, in short, they suffered a lot."
Hu Guiyang smiled, Ren Liu'er and the others were imprisoned, but to outsiders, it didn't seem like they had suffered much.
"Every night, there is a female ghost in the yard."
"Female ghosts?" Hu Guiyang was a little interested.
"Yes, dressed in a white dress, walking around the yard, like a floating paper figure, sometimes crying, sometimes murmuring, and occasionally howling like a wolf, every time the second watch appears and the third watch leaves. During the seven-day stay, three women died of illness, and the rest went to an unfinished temple for a very hasty festival before being sent back to the capital, not so hurried, but not allowed to get off at will. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"Yes, because the number of people convened is not large, and the back and forth is fast, this matter did not receive much attention in the capital at that time, you were in the mountains at that time, and I was still in Yunyang Mansion, and I had never heard of it."
"Hey, I'm afraid a lot of guests will pay attention."
Yuan Mao's face was slightly red, "Most people don't even know that the place they go to is Yunyang, and Durian also happened to hear a sentence 'Yunyang, a broken place that will never come again in the future', so she knew what was going on." After that, she paid more attention to the news of Yunyang, and after the rumors of the Inhumans arose, she felt that the strange trip must have something to do with it. ”
"She's a mutant? Or is there a sign of this? ”
Yuan Mao shook his head, "No, they went late, they have never touched the Dan acupoint, she hasn't changed, and I haven't heard of others changing." But she thought the female ghost might be a stranger, because she had observed it through the window......"
"She's so bold." Hu Guiyang praised, usually this sentence is used on him.
Yuan Mao smiled, "She saw that the female ghost would suddenly jump forward as she walked, incredibly fast, and moved directly to a dozen steps away, she felt sleepy every time, maybe she missed something when she closed her eyes, but it was like this several times in a row, she thought it was ghost art, and after hearing about the alien, she understood that it was martial arts." ”
"I still don't understand why she thinks she's in danger. Someone was killed by the woman who went to Yunyang together? ”
Yuan Mao got up, went to the door to listen for a while, looked outside a few times through the crack in the door, turned back, and still said in a very low voice: "No one has been killed for the time being, but when they lived in Yunyang, there were men who entered the room at night and had fun with some of these women. ”
Hu Guiyang's mouth was poisonous, and he didn't ask Ren Liu'er if he was in this column at this time, but just listened quietly.
Durian thought the man might be ...... People in the palace. ”
"Emperor?"
Yuan Mao's face changed immediately, and he immediately ran to the door and listened for a while, then turned around and said, "Please, don't be so loud." ”
Hu Guiyang smiled, and also said in a very low voice: "West Garden? How did she guess? Were you and Lao Dao not by the side of Xiyuan at that time? ”
"Hey, we just escorted Xiyuan back to the city, as soon as we joined the army, it was not our turn to approach, Wang Zhi and others immediately picked up Xiyuan, and then praised us, saying that there was a heavy reward, but it was not until you came back that the 'heavy reward' was realized. Durian didn't guess the identity of the person at first, but felt that his formation was not small, every time he came, there seemed to be heavy guards outside the courtyard, and no one could be seen, but sometimes the sound of armor colliding could be heard. After returning to Beijing, it was rumored that Xiyuan had left Beijing for a private visit, and Durian had this bold idea. ”
"After talking to you, she became more and more convinced of the idea." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.
Yuan Mao's face turned red again, and he hurriedly said: "I haven't revealed anything, and the rumors of Weifu's private interview have nothing to do with me at all, otherwise, Xichang won't use me." It's just that...... When Durian talks about this, I may not have looked right. ”
"I really admire Ren Liu'er more and more, but it's a pity that she is a daughter, and she falls in the Lehu family, if she is Jinyiwei, which is our turn to eat here?"
"Hehe, she's so smart, few people notice that......"
Leave these words to her face to face, she has been to Yunyang, guessed that it is the West Garden, and the full pot spring is used to find strangers, and then what? The question comes back, why does she feel like she's in danger? ”
"Zhu Jiutou secretly went to Ren's house to reply, and as soon as he left with his front foot, the female ghost on his back foot appeared."
"Yunyang female ghost?"
Yuan Mao nodded, "Although it is night, Du'er can still recognize it at a glance, the way she dresses and walks, they are all exactly the same, and the female ghost is standing in the courtyard and staring at the room for a long time." Durian was very scared, she didn't dare to breathe, and after the female ghost left, she immediately decided to flee, and it happened that I appeared......"
"I still don't quite understand."
"The next thing is Durian's guess. After returning to Beijing, she was always uneasy, so she went to many temples and asked people about the technique of 'picking yin and supplementing yang'. ”
"She knows a lot."
"There are a lot of folk rumors about this kind of thing, and she has heard it somehow."
"Picking yin and supplementing yang has to be a virgin, right?"
"There is another technique of collecting evil yin, which is dedicated to ...... Lehu woman, coincidentally, the person who is best at this technique in the capital is the famous Li Xianchang. ”
"Lizi Province?"
"Yes, that was before he entered the palace, and he went to the rich and noble to recommend it, and it was very popular, but the housewives of various families didn't like it, and often kicked him out, saying that he was either a serious warlock or a turtle slave."
Hu Guiyang said with a smile: "This guy is really smart, the so-called evil yin, isn't it in the name of bringing the Spring Courtyard girl into the house openly, no wonder the housewife disagreed, no wonder the father-in-law didn't pay attention to him at that time." In this way, he repeated his old tricks in Yunyang, this time without the master's mother to stop him, and the 'patient' was the West Garden. ”
"I think so. Durian also guessed that this trick might have an effect, so Xiyuan returned to Beijing safely, and the female ghost also followed. ”
"What does a female ghost look like?"
"Every time the female ghost appears at night, Durian can't see her face clearly, she only remembers a white dress, and the female ghost's waist is very slender, and Durian said that she was jealous when she looked at it."
"Sure enough, it's her." Hu Guiyang had already guessed, and when he heard the thin waist, he became more and more sure.
"The prefect's concubine, Bee Niang." Yuan Mao also guessed it, and smiled wryly, "Who would have thought that she would also become a stranger." ”
Bee Niang once carried the Tianji Pill with Hu Guiyang and Xiaocao, but later became demented and stayed in the prefect's yamen, when the influence of the Dan acupoint became bigger and bigger, she must have also participated in the absorption of Dan, but a person who had lost his mind could mutate, which still surprised Hu Guiyang.
"What kind of tricks are going on in the palace? Even if you bring the bee girl back to the capital, you actually let her leave the palace? Well, so Yang Shaopu did see a woman in white smiling at him, and the people in Xichang thought it was Third Sister He and Xiaocao, but Wang Zhi definitely knew the truth, but he still asked me to investigate the case......"
Yuan Mao unravels some truths, but brings more fog.
"In short, things are not simple, Durian found out that the palace might be involved, and immediately felt dangerous, and later proved that her premonition was very correct, Yiren was killed one after another, and Zhu Jiutou died."
"If it's really the master of the West Garden, one will is enough, so there's no need to be so troublesome, right?"
"Maybe it's because of reputation."
Hu Guiyang was reluctant to assert lightly, and said with a smile: "It's getting more and more interesting, the case is obviously related to the palace, Wang Zhi allowed me to investigate the case, but he didn't allow me to enter the palace, is he trying to drive me to death?" What's in it for him? ”
Yuan Mao couldn't give an answer, "Du'er is very scared, she has a hunch that more people will be killed in the future." ”
Ren Liu'er's premonition was very accurate, after she escaped, not only were Yiren assassinated one after another, but even Zhu Jiutou, who was not an Inhuman, also died on the street.
"Why peel off your face? Why expose the corpses on the streets, instead of hiding them? Hu Guiyang found the death of Zhu Jiutou more incomprehensible than the murder of another person.
"Durian expected that Zhu Jiutou might be killed because of the leak, but she never expected that the means would be so brutal."
Hu Guiyang thought for a while, then asked with a smile: "You have known Ren Liu'er for a few years, was she so smart before?" ”
"She is truly outstanding among all the women."
"I'm not talking about looks."
"I'm talking about intelligence, she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the response is not leaky, and several adults have praised her in public."
"Do you think she could have guessed so many things and quickly sensed the danger?"
"What do you want to say?"
"Ren Liu'er went to Yunyang too late, probably not to become an alien, but she does have some changes."
Yuan Mao looked confused, as if he didn't understand what Hu Guiyang meant.
"I met Ren Liu'er a few times last year, and at that time she cared about silver and handsome children, she was indeed smart, but she wouldn't use her intelligence in these things now."
"Impossible, when she went, there were no Dan caves in Yunyang Mansion, there were only five deep caves left, and she hadn't entered them at all."
Hu Guiyang didn't argue, and sighed lightly, "The Tianji ship is gone, leaving a mess, tomorrow you go to Lao Dao and ask him to inquire if there are any strange warlocks inside and outside the capital recently, or strange rituals." ”
"Okay."
"Gu Zhongxian, this old fellow, I expected that I would go to him again." Hu Guiyang must see the immortal side of Gu Zhongxian again, from these strange things, he faintly saw the shadow of the god sacrifice back then, "It would be good if the righteous father was still here, this is the case he is best at investigating." ”
