Chapter 22: Yanling City (White Shadow)

"Dare to ask this official, what is the ghost you are talking about?" Wei Xuan asked curiously.

"I say, why are you so curious?, I kindly remind you, just listen, and go back and forth before it's dark......," the soldier became impatient.

"Then I won't ask, we're going to our relatives' house, and I hope you officials will let us go," Wei Xuan said politely.

"I'm the second, let them go if they have to go, you've said everything you should say, they can't blame us for going to their own deaths, now it's getting dark, let's cheer up and watch the city gates," said another soldier.

"Okay, okay, then you guys can go," the soldier waved at Wei Xuan and the three of them, letting them in.

"Brother, what did the soldier mean by the ghost just now?

"Sister, even if there are really ghosts, have you forgotten what our identities are, are you still afraid of ghosts?" It's okay, I will protect the two of you......" Wei Xuan looked at Xiangxiang again after saying to Lu Yao.

"How can there be ghosts in this world, I don't think those soldiers deliberately scared us and didn't want us to enter Yanling City, right?" Xiangxiang said with a playful face.

"They don't know who we are, there's no need to let us into the city, no matter what, just know that we should be careful, it's still important to find energy balls," Wei Xuan said.

Before they knew it, it was already dark, and the three of them came to an inn.

"Shopkeeper, we want three rooms," Wei Xuan said to a white-haired old woman.

The old woman carried a lantern and led them upstairs and instructed them: "We are here, it has not been very peaceful recently, you should try not to walk outside at night, otherwise the small shop will not be able to afford something."

"Old man, when we were at the city gate, the soldiers at the gate also said that several people had died in the city recently, what the hell is going on?" Wei Xuan asked the old woman politely.

"Alas, you are outsiders, and I am afraid that you will not sleep well at night, forget it, you should hurry back to your room and rest early, I have arranged the rooms for the three of you together, if there is anything in the middle of the night, you can also support" The old woman looked at the three of them meaningfully and said.

"Old woman, just talk to the three of us!" Xiangxiang said to the old woman in a coquettish tone, and Lu Yao also nodded.

"Well, well, since you want to know so much, then I'll tell you," said the old woman helplessly.

The four of them walked over to a guest table and sat down.

The old woman began to tell the three of them what had happened.

It turned out that not long ago, there was a couple in Yanjia Village in Yanling City because they killed someone by mistake, and were pursued by the government, forcing the two to a cliff, and the two jumped off the cliff in order not to let the people of the government catch them, and they both jumped off the cliff, I thought that this matter was over, but I didn't expect that one night three months later, there was a watch who found the two of them, and the watch began to shout people everywhere, at that time everyone was asleep, and they didn't pay much attention to the watchman, but they didn't expect that the watch was found dead in the pond early the next morning, and the pupils of the watch were found to be particularly wide, and the chest was pierced by a sharp weapon, the place where it was pierced and the situation of being burned, the death was terrifying.

After listening to the three of you, you look at me, I look at you. The mood is heavy.

"Then how can you be sure that those two couples killed them?" Wei Xuan asked first.

"Because the name of the two of them was shouted that night, many people heard it, and later after the forensic identification, the wound was not something that could be done by man, and then several people died in a row, and the way of death was the same as that of the watchman, so everyone thought that the two of them had a grudge after their deaths, and turned into a ghost who came back to take revenge, and now the people in the entire Yanling City are panicking" The old woman sighed and continued after speaking. "Alas, the two of them were quite pitiful when they were alive, who would have thought that they would come back to take revenge, what is the reason for this, no one knows, I always know that the three of you should be careful."

After hearing this, the three thanked the old woman and went back to their rooms.

The first half of the night was quiet, but in the second half of the night, Wei Xuan was woken up by a strange sound.

Wei Xuan hurriedly got up and went to Xiangxiang and Lu Yao's room and woke them both up.

"Brother, what's wrong, is something wrong?" asked Lu Yao.

"Didn't you hear anything just now?" Wei Xuan asked Xiangxiang and Lu Yao.

"No," Lu Yao said.

"I haven't heard either, are you having nightmares because of what the old woman told you?" asked Xiangxiang.

Wei Xuan was just about to explain something, and suddenly a white shadow flashed outside the door, and the three of them were startled.

The three of them hurriedly chased after the direction in which the white shadow flew away.

The three of them followed the white shadow to the outside of a luxurious mansion.

The three of them saw the white shadow stay in the sky above the mansion for a while and fly down.

The gate of the mansion reads "Li Mansion", and there are two statues of lions on both sides in front of the gate, which looks very atmospheric.

"Why did the ghost come here, this family should be very rich, does the ghost still need money?" asked Xiangxiang suspiciously.

"I don't know the situation for the time being, you two stay here first, I'll go in and have a look" Wei Xuan turned around and disappeared after speaking.

Wei Xuan came to the Li Mansion, there were some guards standing guard in the mansion, and Wei Xuan cautiously walked towards the room where the white shadow flew.

Wei Xuan finally came to the outside of the room and looked inside through the window paper. The white shadow wasn't there, but a man of some age died on the ground next to the bed in the room.

Wei Zhuan sighed and turned around again, appearing in front of Xiangxiang and Lu Yao.

"Brother, what's wrong, do you see that white shadow?" Lu Yao asked anxiously.

"No, I went to the room where the white shadow flew down and saw a person lying on the ground dead, but I didn't see the white shadow," Wei Xuan said with a disappointed expression.

"We didn't see the white shadow fly away outside, that ghost killed a person in such a short period of time, and left without knowing it, it's not easy to see that ghost," Xiangxiang said in surprise.

"Let's go back first, and make plans tomorrow, this ghost just killed someone, it shouldn't appear again tonight, the three of us are in one room at night, you two have a good rest, I'll just sit for the night, so as to protect the two of you" Wei Xuan said.

The three of them returned to the inn, Xiangxiang and Lu Yao slept on the bed, and Wei Xuan sat at the table.

Xiangxiang and Lu Yao soon entered Mengxiang.

Wei Xuan saw that the two of them were asleep, walked to the side of the bed, and gently stroked Xiangxiang's forehead.

Wei Xuan looked at Xiangxiang affectionately, and after a while, he looked at Lu Yao again.

"You guys have a good rest, I will protect you" Wei Xuan whispered and returned to the table and sat down, leaning on the table and falling asleep.
