In the afterglow of the setting sun, Liyan and Xuannian rode into the city on horseback. The two ate wontons on the side of the road, and then got on the horse and went to Gu Qian's old residence.

"Three hundred and seventy-nine tablets."

Looking at Liyan and Xuannian who were not far away, Yuan Cheng had a smile on his face, and he immediately floated down from the tree.

"I've counted the leaves four times, and if you don't come back, I'm going to go crazy."

Puzzled: "You are also alone in it, why can't you stand it now?" ”

"Everything in it is what I like, and there is nothing I like here." Yuan Cheng pouted.

"How is she?"

"It looked like an appointment, and she didn't think about coming out after noon. I've been going around the house in circles, and I'm still muttering something. But the voice was too quiet, and what she said didn't seem to be official, so I didn't hear it clearly. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "How's your situation over there?" Have you checked it out and what is the result? ”

Liyan nodded with a heavy expression and said, "We will go to Yufu now and come back soon." ”

Zhou received the news that Liyan had returned, and hurriedly brought someone out to greet him.

"Leave the girl, but you've already caught the man's soul?"

Li Yan looked at the maids behind Zhou, and Zhou immediately let them go down.

"Madame, do you remember this woman?"

Zhou frowned and looked at the woman in the painting, her appearance was not outstanding, but she didn't think she was angry. This person, she should have seen it.

"I can't remember, but I don't think I've seen her."

Li Yan took a deep breath and said, "You should have seen it seventeen years ago, and at the beginning, you gave her twenty taels of silver. ”

Zhou looked at Liyan in surprise, is there such a thing?

Liyan told the story of what she found on Zhuangzi.

There is a family in the village where Zhou's Zhuangzi is located, and her husband's surname is Gu, and the people in the village call her Gu's sister-in-law. She is a miserable person, her daughter-in-law was pregnant for three months, and her son went.

Sister-in-law Gu used to be a stable wife, but she was drunk and her hands were not very stable, and gradually no one used her. Her granddaughter was delivered by herself, only two days before Yu Lianlian. The child was not born at term.

Zhou's production was at night, and it was too late to go to the city to find someone. Someone in Zhuangzi knew about Gu's sister-in-law, so he sent someone to invite her over.

Although she didn't obey the call, she still had experience and helped Zhou Shun give birth to the child smoothly.

After Master Zou went, he rewarded her with twenty taels of silver.

Three days later, the family of three moved out of the village. So far, there has been no news.

"What is the girl talking to me about?" Zhou asked cautiously.

Li Yan glanced at the painting on the table, her eyes were a little unbearable, and she said softly: "I want to ask Mrs. and Master to come with me." ”

Zhou nodded in response.

"Leave the girl." Zhang's face was uneasy and said, "Why are you only here now?" ”

Liyan calmly replied: "We are collecting evidence, and many of what you said are not correct, so we have wasted a lot of time. ”

"Really? Maybe I'm mistaken. It happened so suddenly, I haven't reacted yet. Zhang said.

Liyan didn't debunk her, and she wondered, "Why didn't Madame go to us?" ”

"I thought about it, and when the man gave me the spell, he gave me a few pieces of paper. As soon as I moved in, I put the rune paper under the bricks, and after a few months, I had forgotten it completely. Come to think of it, it's just those pieces of paper that make a fuss. ”

"Where's the rune paper?" Liyan asked.

Seeing Liyan's calm expression, Zhang's heart beat a drum, and she was a little unsure whether she should tell the location of those runes.

"What is Madam hesitating, I don't see the rune paper, how can I know what kind of formation is trapping you, and how can I rescue you?"

Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then told Liyan where the rune paper was.

Li Yan lifted the bricks as she said and found the rune paper on the ground.

She looked at it for a long time, and then frowned and looked at Zhang, "I haven't seen this spell before, I have to take a good look at it to come up with a solution." ”

Zhang knew that she couldn't find a way out on her own, and now, she could only rely on her words.

"You take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

Liyan pretended to take out a book, Zhang frowned slightly, she needed to check the book to know the solution, what year and month would she have to wait, would she not be able to catch up......

"Can't you find someone to help the girl?"

Li Yan glanced at Zhang, and then pinched his fingers and counted.

"No, they're too far away, and it'll be too late when they get there."

Zhang was keenly aware of what she was saying, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"This ...... I don't think you'd better know. Liyan had a good look on her face.

This made Zhang's heart tense, and she pretended to be calm and said, "I think I should know what will happen next." ”

"I don't know the solution, but I've heard of it. Once the formation is activated, if a solution cannot be found within twelve hours, the souls in the formation will be scattered. Liyan said helplessly.

"Twelve hours?" Zhang's eyes widened and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Li Yan said innocently: "Mrs. Gu, didn't you tell me that you still have this kind of rune paper at home. If you had told me earlier, would I have watched you die? "Baixiao

Zhang desperately told herself that she still needed to rely on this little girl to get out of this hellish place. She said it silently several times, and then suppressed the anger in her heart.

"What can I do?" She said hatefully.

Liyan thought for a while and said, "I have some things that I haven't figured out, we might as well take this time to figure them out, what do you think?" ”

"What are you going to ask?" Zhang asked with a gloomy face.

Liyan flipped through the book and said, "Why don't you come to Los Angeles first." ”

Zhang's eyes rolled a few times, and said, "Qian'er is older, she is a beautiful girl, I can't let her live in a small town for the rest of her life like me." I brought her into town to find a good home for her. ”

Li Yan looked at Zhang, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Mrs. Gu, are you sure?" ”

"If that's the case, why should I lie to you?" Zhang said with a disdainful expression.

"But that's not what I heard."

Zhang was stunned, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"To tell you the truth, we found Miss Gu."

"It can't be." Zhang said in horror.

Li Yan looked at her with a puzzled expression, "The spells all keep your soul here in the world, why don't you leave Miss Gu behind?" Did that man say something to you? ”

He ...... He ......, "Zhang clearly remembers that the man said that only one person's soul can stay. It was impossible for them to see Gu Qian's soul, they must be lying to her.

"Nope." Zhang lowered his head to hide the panic in his eyes and said, "I'...... I looked for Qian'er, but I never found it. If Qian'er was here, how could I not find her. ”

"That's probably where you're looking for." Li Yan smiled slightly and said, "I'll let Miss Gu come out to see you now." However, Miss Gu can't come in, so you can take care of it more. ”

Zhang looked at Liyan in shock, but Liyan didn't pay attention to her, she gave Xuan Nian a look, and Xuan Nian immediately went out with the small box.

It wasn't until Gu Qian appeared in the courtyard and looked at her in disbelief that Zhang finally understood that he had been deceived by that man.

"Qian'er." Zhang wanted to call Gu Qian affectionately, but there was a bit of horror and guilt in it, which was really not good.

"Mother, why don't you tell the truth to the girl?" Gu Qian asked.

Zhang immediately understood that she had heard their conversation before. Zhang turned his head to look at Liyan, guessing in his heart what she wanted to do.

"Qian'er, my mother does all this for your own good. The reason why my mother didn't tell you was because I was afraid that you wouldn't agree. Zhang explained.

Gu Qian sneered: "You didn't even think about taking me into the city at the beginning, but now you tell me this." Mother, you want to lie to me, why don't you find a better excuse. ”

"I ......" Zhang lowered her head, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were already full of injuries, "I am your mother, I do all this for your good, and you doubt me so much." Qian'er, you've disappointed me so much. ”

For a moment, Gu Qian was shrouded in guilt, yes, the person inside was her mother, how could she harm her? Gu Qian put her eyes on Liyan's body for help, her mother would not harm her.

"Yes, how could a biological mother harm her own daughter? But what if this daughter is not biological at all? Liyan took the rune paper and slowly stood up.

Zhang and Gu Qian looked at Liyan together, there was shock, worry and a hint of murderous intent in Zhang's eyes, Gu Qian was completely stunned, she didn't know what to react to, she didn't even know what Liyan said.

"Mrs. Gu, don't you want to explain, why did you give your family heirloom to Miss Yu?" Liyan asked.

Zhang looked at Liyan and said incoherently: "That's just...... It's just to apologize, the matter between Qian'er and the Zou family's son-in-law is our fault, and I should compensate her. ”

Gu Qian looked at Zhang in a daze, and she asked softly, "Mother, is what the girl said true?" ”

"No, Qian'er, listen to me, it's not true, it's all made up by her." Zhang's Road.

Liyan chuckled lightly and said, "Mrs. Gu, you must be curious why Miss Gu still appeared in front of you, right?" ”

The corners of Zhang's mouth twitched, and she suddenly realized that this little girl had actually been pretending to be stupid. She must have known that spells needed to be used with rune paper, she must have known that the soul of another person had to be taken away, and more importantly, she must have known how to get out of here. She just didn't want to say it.

The aura around Zhang's body suddenly changed, and the black qi spread.

Li Yan glanced at Gu Qian, saw that she was not affected, breathed a sigh of relief, and silently wrote down this matter in his heart. In the future, she can also use this formation to trap ghosts.

She was distracted, and the black qi around Zhang's body had already spread towards her.

Li Yan looked at Zhang and smiled slightly, and then stepped out of the door.

The black gas did not spread, and was blocked in the room by an invisible barrier.

"Mrs. Gu, although I also lied to you. But the things of the twelve hours are true. Moreover, if your resentment is too strong, it may be shorter. I advise you, or relax. Liyan raised the book in his hand at her and said, "When you tell us the truth and calm down, I will let you out." Otherwise, you stay inside and never come out. ”

Yuan Cheng walked up to Liyan and asked softly, "Is it true that the incident at twelve o'clock?" ”

"Yes."

"And what did you say before?" Yuan Cheng was surprised.

"I didn't expect that person to kill ghosts, not to use them." Off the beaten track.

Yuan Cheng frowned and looked at Liyan, so you just want to use us?

Liyan seemed to see his thoughts, "We are mutually beneficial, remember?" ”

"So, you're still a good person?"

Liyan thought about it seriously and said, "No, I'm not. ”

After being ignored by them for a long time, Zhang became more and more angry. However, she did hear the words. Also, she felt a little uncomfortable. It wasn't painful, but it was so uncomfortable that I couldn't describe the feeling.

"As long as you don't want to kill people and let the black qi around you dissipate, you will feel better." Liyan kindly suggested.

But her words not only did not reduce Zhang's killing intent, but made the black qi increase a lot in an instant.

Liyan scolded in a low voice, "Damn it." ”
