Chapter 31: Ghost Fire
"There are no ghosts in the world, don't worry." Chu Zikai couldn't see her frowning, and hurriedly came over to comfort her. "Let's investigate slowly, and those with ill intentions will definitely leak flaws."
"I never believed in ghosts or gods." Yu Zhao looked at the firm eyes in front of him, and felt better in his heart. "Talent is the most terrifying, this person can scare all the people in the whole house like this, he is a powerful one, and if he can't find out, there will be endless troubles."
Fortunately, with him by his side, Yu Zhao felt a sense of peace of mind, and the two discussed, Chu Zikai went back first to deliver a letter to Emperor Yuan, and Yu Zhao lived in the mansion today and did not go back. When Emperor Yuan heard the news, Chu Zikai quietly returned and sent people outside the mansion to find out if there were any suspicious people.
In the evening, Yu Zhao took people and planned to wait in the places where ghosts often come out, and checked those places first, just at the edge of the entire mansion, and the housekeeper next to him said: "The master said that when he expanded the mansion a few days ago, he didn't look at feng shui well, which angered the family god, so he couldn't prevent ghosts." ”
Yu Zhao couldn't listen to these words, turned around and took people to the place agreed with Chu Zikai to wait. When it was about time to be able to see a little starlight, sure enough, I saw a few bright green fires burning by the wall, and a maid was so frightened that she stepped back, and saw that the ghost fire seemed to be coming towards this side, and it was very terrifying, and the people who followed immediately screamed and scattered, and hurriedly fled. The speed of the fire also accelerated, as if it was going to chase, but Yu Zhao did not escape, but wanted to catch up to see what was going on, and the ghost fire immediately surrounded her.
Chu Zikai, who was waiting outside, heard the movement, and hurriedly asked through the wall, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"It's just that it looks terrible, and it will be extinguished as soon as it is opened." Yu Zhao replied as he fanned out the green things around him, "They were all scared away. ”
A few seconds later, Chu Zikai climbed up the wall and climbed in. "This thing is not very powerful, I didn't mean to see it, I thought it was a firefly."
As he spoke, he saw another wave of green fire over there, Chu Zikai went over to extinguish it and looked carefully, and Yu Zhao also squatted down. "There's something bad about it."
"Indeed." Chu Zikai also found out, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Someone must have buried something here, I like to read some miscellaneous records in my spare time, and it has been recorded that there are many human or animal corpses where the ghost fire comes out." ”
"It's scary." Yu Zhao imagined that there were a few people buried under this house, and he really shuddered.
Chu Zikai opened his hands. "If you are afraid, come to my arms and avoid you."
Yu Zhao looked at him angrily, ignored him, and turned to go somewhere else. "There are a few more places, I'll go see if it's the same, it's panicking, let's call someone to dig it tomorrow."
Hearing Chu Zikai's footsteps, Yu Zhao turned his head to look at him: "Your Highness, go back first, I'm not afraid." ”
"I'm afraid, can you hug me?" Chu Zikai still opened his arms.
There are no lights around, and the silhouettes of each other can be seen clearly by the moonlight, hazy and real. Although he knew that he would not be afraid, Yu Zhao still had no choice but to walk over and gently fall into his arms, feeling the peace of mind spreading in the bottom of his heart.
There was no one in the house, in the garden, or under the porch shrouded in night. They all lit the lights in the house and didn't dare to come out. The wind blew the flowers and trees planted in the yard, reflecting the moonlight, and it was indeed like a demon and a monster with his teeth and claws, Yu Lu suddenly woke up and shouted: "You go away...... Don't come here, it's the ...... you're going to hurt first."
Yu Zhao, who was guarding outside, immediately came in with a lamp. "Mother, are you alright?" was grabbed by Yu Lu and whispered: "Zhaozhao, the ghost of the eldest lady is here......"
His eyes were full of fear, staring straight ahead, Yu Zhao couldn't help frowning, and heard the screams of the two women outside, Yu Lu was even more frightened and shrank into the bed with Yu Zhao, and shouted: "It's coming...... Here it ......."
"It's okay," Yu Zhao had to be appeased first, and ordered someone to come and accompany him, but the man came in with a cower, and sat at the head of the bed shivering.
When I went outside to see where the cry had just come from, two more maids were squatting under the porch and shivering.
"What is so shocking?" Yu Zhao's voice startled them again, but they didn't dare to raise their heads, pointing to the wall: "The ghost is coming...... Ghosts. ”
Yu Zhao looked in the direction she pointed, there was nothing, and saw that the two maids were not pretending to be afraid, and wondered why the whole house was like crazy. Fortunately, the palace people who had arranged for him to guard in the front hall immediately ran in and surrounded them, and Yu Zhao asked them, "Have you ever noticed anything unusual?" ”
The leader replied, "Hui Niangniang, no."
Yu Zhao was surprised, and immediately ordered: "Hold the lamp and gather the people of the whole mansion in the courtyard." ”
The people in the palace were all panicked, but those who came out of the palace to take care of themselves did not notice anything wrong. Yu Zhao decided that he had to find out.
He also ordered the two maids from the palace to go in to accompany Yu Lu, and let the people who were waiting in her room also come out. But when they came out one by one, they shouted in the courtyard, pointing to the wall and saying that there were ghosts. It made everyone present a little flustered.
Yu Zhao ordered them to be restrained and asked, "Can you all see the ghost?" ”
The housekeeper immediately stepped forward and replied, "Back to Niangniang, some say you can see it, and some say you can't see it." But almost everyone has seen that ghost fire chasing people. ”
Hearing this, Yu Zhao pondered. The ghost fire is not to be feared, but now Yu Lu and the people serving beside him can see the ghost, why is it? Suddenly, there was a little sign of it, and he immediately instructed Wu Yangyang and his subordinates: "Look at the left side of the ghost's stand, and stand on the right side of the person you haven't seen,"
Although everyone was puzzled, they quickly stood up as she said. In the team on the left, especially those who were close to Yu Lu, they were so frightened that they were shaking, trembling close together, and looking around.
After looking at it, it was as Yu Zhao expected. The ones I have seen are basically close to Yu Lu's garden, and those who have not seen them are people with faces. Yu Zhao pointed to the person on the right and asked the housekeeper, "What do they do?" ”
The housekeeper immediately replied: "Hui Niangniang, I usually do chores, errands, and sweep the floor in the kitchen and other places." ”
That's right, those who don't often stay in this garden should be frightened by the demonic fire around them. As soon as the people in the inner garden rendered it, they believed it, so they were afraid. But the sanity is clear. But the one who has seen that ghost is as pure and crazy as Yu Lu. Yu Zhao looked around at the garden, and there was nothing abnormal. Then he asked, "But the old lady was the first to see the ghost?" ”
"It's not." The butler immediately pointed to a woman in the panicked crowd on the left. "I saw it when Mrs. Zhang, who was boiling water, came to deliver water."
Immediately attracted Yu Zhaode's attention, but he didn't realize that there was indeed a mother-in-law with a raw face standing among a group of people with familiar faces. Yu Zhao immediately called her forward and asked, "You come and talk about it." ”
Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and knelt down. Trembling, he said: "The slave maid is the mother-in-law who boils water in the kitchen, and the old lady wants to bathe that day, so she brings hot water." Unexpectedly, I saw a ghost dressed in white on the wall. Immediately frightened, hurriedly ran to the house to hide. Described to the old lady, the ghost's appearance turned out to be exactly the same as that of the eldest lady of Yufu, she must have been unable to see the happiness of the lady, so she came back to find it. ”
"Hmph, you are bold, you don't run away when you see a ghost, and you can clearly describe it to the old lady." Yu Zhao looked at her coldly, and then ordered in a sharp tone: "Take her down!" ”
