Chapter 118: The Human Heart
It didn't take long for a table of vegetarian mats to be placed on the table, although it was not rich, but most of the ingredients were made locally in this vicinity, which was very fresh, so it tasted exceptionally delicious, and even Lu Yunchao, a "carnivore", ate it with relish.

After eating, the woman asked the man to lead Xuan Chen and Lu Yunchao to the firewood room in the backyard, and as soon as the two entered the house, they smelled the fragrance of pine wood.
It turned out that when the two were eating, the woman had already asked people to clean up the firewood room, and it was very clean, and put two single beds, even the sheets were snow-white, because there were a lot of pine firewood piled up in the corner of the house, and the smell of the whole room was very refreshing, and it did not look simple at all.
After arranging the accommodation, the two saw that it was still early, so they walked around the inn and found that the inn was not far from the river where the female corpse appeared, only a hundred and ten meters.
The inn was surrounded by dense woods, and there were fourteen or fifteen officers and soldiers on duty in the post station next to it, all of them looking bored and breathless, and they were obviously very idle.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the two of them saw that there was nothing abnormal, and they were about to go back to the room, but suddenly saw a fat man dressed in gorgeous clothes, running over from the official road in a panic, and carrying a big burden on his body.
As soon as the fat man saw the soldiers in official uniforms, he immediately shouted for help, and when several soldiers saw it, they hurried over, surrounded the fat man and asked a few words, and took him back to the post station.
At this time, a tall and thin man dressed in the official uniform of the post man had already walked out of the post station, and a soldier immediately went over and whispered a few words to him, he nodded when he heard this, and then said to the fat man:
"What's your cargo?"
When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly said:
"My lord, you must help me, the villain's name is Li Fugui, he is from Jiangzhou, he is in the silk business, my two cars of silk are not far ahead, just now as soon as the sky was dark, two tigers suddenly jumped on the official road and bit my guys to death, fortunately I ran fast, but my silk is still on the road, you must help me get it back."
After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly put the burden on his back on the table, took out a large ingot of silver from it, handed it to Yicheng's hand, and said:
"My lord, I have an eighty-year-old mother and underage children, and I rely on me to support myself in business, so please help me a lot."
As soon as Xuanchen saw this scene, he immediately pulled Lu Yunchao and turned around and left, returning to the firewood room.
As soon as Yi Cheng saw the silver, he immediately turned his attention to the fat man's burden, and the greedy look in his eyes flashed, so he threw the silver in his hand directly to a soldier, and said:
"Go and get the two carts of silk back, and if the tiger is still there, shoot a few arrows to scare it away."
The soldiers took the silver and immediately went happily, but the post man suddenly smiled at the fat man and said:
"Boss Li, you don't have to worry about the silk thing, it's getting late today, don't go, stay at the post station first, I'll let the inn next to you arrange tea and dinner for you."
About an hour later, the two carts of silk were transported back to the post station by the soldiers, and Li Fugui thanked him for his gratitude, and took out a small gold ingot from the baggage and stuffed it into the hands of the post man.
Yi Cheng pretended to excuse himself, accepted it, and then arranged for Li Fugui to stay at the post station, and he returned to his own inn next door.
At this time, it was completely dark, Xuanchen asked Lu Yunchao to keep an eye on Li Fugui, so as not to kill him, and then he went up to the roof of the post station, came to the woman's room, quietly lifted the roof tiles, and used spiritual power to probe the house from the gaps in the tiles, and found that the woman had finished grooming and was preparing to sleep, but there was no trace of the feng shui fortune ghost.
At this moment, Yi Cheng suddenly pushed the door in, closed the door and said excitedly:
"Xiaocui, there is another fat sheep today, wait a minute, don't sleep first, go and accompany the ghost master, and then let the ghost master kill the fat sheep, there are at least two carts of silk, but thousands of taels of silver."
When the woman heard this, she immediately said with displeasure:
"Why am I going again, I would have asked you to find another girl a long time ago, that ghost master has been doing it for more than two hours, and every time I have to lie down for a whole day before I can get off the ground, you are not afraid that it will kill me."
When Yi Cheng heard this, he immediately smiled and said:
"Madam, my good lady, you can deal with it first, now the girl is not easy to find, I promise you, three days, at most three days, I will definitely find a girl to come back, and then I don't have to bother you, okay?"
When the woman heard this, she immediately snorted:
", who's your wife? I'm not that blessed. β
Hearing this, Yi Cheng immediately said:
"Of course you are my wife, Xiaocui, I promise you, as long as we save enough money, I will go to dredge a county order to do it, and then I will divorce the tigress at home and marry you."
When the woman heard this, her complexion softened a little, and she said:
"Today is the last time, let me tell you, I've always felt unwell recently, maybe I've been with the ghost too many times, and I can't continue to do it after this time."
When Yi Cheng heard this, he immediately rejoiced:
"No problem, it's definitely the last time, my good Xiaocui, you just hurry up, don't wait until dawn, it's too late."
The woman sighed softly when she heard this, lit a small lantern, pushed the door and came to the courtyard, Xuanchen looked down from the roof, only to find that there was a small gate in the courtyard leading to the backyard of the post station, the woman pushed open the small door and went straight into the post station.
When Xuanchen saw it, he hurriedly followed, followed the light of the lantern, and followed the woman to a windowless room, the door was locked, the woman took out the key, opened the lock, and then entered the house, and locked the door.
Xuanchen tiptoed to the door, looked in through the crack in the door, and saw an amazing scene by the faint light:
On a huge bed in the room, a blue-faced fanged ghost like a strong man was lying on the woman's body, and the woman's clothes had been completely taken off at this time, and with the ghost's movements, she kept moaning, and after a while, the ghost adjusted her posture and changed parts, and kept tossingγγγγγγ
Xuan Chen was shocked when he saw this, and immediately turned on the spiritual power detection, and got the information of this ghost:
"Feng Shui Fortune Ghosts, ghost-like monsters, have the ability to collect money for the breeder, greedy for women, and if they are not satisfied, they will eat the breeder."
Seeing this, Xuan Chen kicked the door open, and then rushed in with an arrow, and the woman on the bed immediately screamed, covered her body with the clothes at hand, and shrank into the corner of the bed.
Feng Shui Lucky Ghost let out a low roar, and rushed towards Xuan Chen with his naked body, Xuan Chen shook his hand, it was a spiritual shock, directly fixed the Lucky Ghost, and then waved the Qingqiu fan in his hand, and split it down according to the head of the Lucky Ghost.
Qingqiu Fan hides a sharp blade, the damage is actually very high, plus Xuan Chen shot out angrily, this fan screamed the lucky ghost, flew out several meters, and then rolled on the spot, and disappeared.
When Xuanchen saw that the fortune ghost was gone, he walked to the side of the bed and said to the woman on the bed:
"You are greedy for money, raising ghosts and harming people, but you know that sooner or later you will be harmed by ghosts, now you have a black face, it is about to die, tell me, where is the soul of this ghost, when the poor monk gets rid of the evil ghost, maybe you can save a life."
When the woman heard this, she immediately trembled with fright, and was about to speak, when a voice suddenly came from outside the door:
"Master, you should worry about yourself, if you are nosy, you will lose your life."
Xuan Chen looked back when he heard this, but it turned out that the Yicheng was standing at the door with a steel knife in his hand, with a murderous face.
As soon as Xuanchen saw this post like this, he said coldly:
"You are also a human being, those female corpses that floated down the river died because they were pregnant with ghosts, and you even let your women serve ghosts, do you know that she has now been invaded by ghosts, and will soon form a ghost fetus, and then it will be a dead end, if you still want your woman to live, quickly tell me where the soul bones are."
Hearing this, Yi Cheng sneered:
"You don't have to talk nonsense here, whoever stands in the way of Lao Tzu's fortune, Lao Tzu will take someone's life, now you know too much, take your life."
After speaking, he rushed to Xuanchen's body, and immediately slashed down with a knife, what kind of character Xuanchen was, how could he be injured by a mere post, but Xuanchen didn't want to hurt his life, so he dodged, and then used his palm as a knife, and cut the back of Yicheng's neck with a palm, knocking him unconscious.
When the woman saw Yi Cheng fainting, she thought that Xuan Chen had killed him, and screamed in fright, Xuan Chen stepped forward and hit her mouth, and the woman who slapped loudly immediately stopped screaming and looked at Xuan Chen with an extremely frightened look.
Seeing this, Xuan Chen said sharply:
"Tell me, where are the soul bones? Do you really want to die? β
The woman trembled and said:
"On the back mountain, two miles away from here, to the east, under the two old locust trees, there is a tree hole, and the soul bones are there."
When Xuanchen heard this, he immediately left the woman and rushed to the back mountain, but found that there was no road here at all, it was all rocks and weeds, so he had to walk eastward by the moonlight, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, he finally saw two extremely tall locust trees standing side by side in front of him.
