Chapter 232: A Ghost-Eating Youkai
Su Qi really couldn't help but let out an "ah", thinking that this second lady really made the door tiger girl and handle things decisively, Mu Erye walked on the front foot, and she cleared the inner courtyard with the back foot...... Isn't it too open-fired?
Su Qi didn't know what to say for a while, but the second lady Yingniang looked at her uncertain expression, and added to herself: "I didn't mean to kill her." ”
Su Qi became more and more curious: "Why is that ......?"
A strange look appeared on Yingniang's face: "Mu Yunbai has a beloved Feiyan Treasure Knife, and before leaving, he instructed me to carefully wipe it with mutton fat every two days. I've been busy taking care of the aftermath of Mr. Zhong Yu today, and I've not bothered to take care of his knife. ”
Ying Niang said this, Su Qi suddenly bowed his head and embarrassed. She knew that Mr. Lady and Mrs. Lady had been friends since childhood, and now that Mr. Lady had died suddenly, Mrs. Lady must be sad and angry, and she was very forbearant not to come to her with a knife to seek revenge.
Thinking of this, she said weakly in a voice smaller than a mosquito: "The death of Mr., I really didn't mean it......"
Ying Niang glared at her unhappily, "I'll talk about this later." Let's say that I was busy all day, and I didn't think of Mu Yunbai's knife until I went to bed, so I got up again, took mutton fat and went to his study to wipe the knife for him.
When the clinker arrived at the door of the study, he saw the little concubine Cui Ning standing in the room, holding Mu Yunbai's Feiyan knife in her hand! ”
Delphinium ...... Su Qi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and vaguely grasped what trick he knew, but he didn't know it very clearly when he thought about it, so he just listened to Yingniang continue:
"I thought that Mu Yunbai had also told Cui Ning before leaving, but at that time, when I looked at Cui Ning's appearance, it didn't look like she was wiping a knife, so I asked her what to do with Xianggong's knife.
This Cui Ning has been waiting for Mu Yunbai since she was a child, she is a smart and clever person on weekdays, and she is deferential to me, but tonight it is as if she has hit an evil spirit, neither saluting nor answering, until she turned her face and stared at me with a pair of eyes, and the look was ......"
When Yingniang said this, she suddenly paused, frowned lightly, and sighed: "That look is like a ghost, it's really terrifying." ”
Su Qi suddenly remembered the female gentleman's black and miserable eyes like a bottomless pit.
"I felt that something was wrong with Cui Ning, so I stepped forward and snatched the Feiyan knife in her hand, and she suddenly reached out to me, I didn't know what was wrong at that time, and suddenly I felt very uncomfortable, as if ......"
Seeing that Yingniang was clutching her chest with palpitations, Su Qi made up for her: "It seems that the soul is about to be sucked away?" ”
"That's right! I was in a hurry, so I pulled out my delphinium knife and stabbed her, but the result was ......"
Ying Niang said this, and suddenly sighed: "I really have no intention of killing her...... Everyone in the mansion said that I was violent and a husband like a tiger, but Cui Ning has served Mu Yunbai for more than ten years, and it can be regarded as dedication, I have never treated her harshly on weekdays, how can I have the heart to kill her? She lowered her neck and smiled bitterly, "It's just such a weird and strange thing, who would believe it when it comes out?" ”
Su Qi fixed his head: "I believe it!" I met Mr. Lady in the prince's study last night, and she is the same as Cui Ning! ”
"Really?" Yingniang was shocked, but soon believed it, "When I was buried for Zhong Yu today, I also checked her wounds, and I heard that she was pierced by you as a sword in the chest. But only I know that Zhong Yu was forced to practice kung fu for several years by me because of his weak body when he was a child. If you can be used as a sword in your chest impartially, then her kung fu can be regarded as a vain practice. ”
Bosom friend, bosom friend...... Su Qi looked at Yingniang's eyes with gratitude, "I was only trying to defend myself when I drew my sword, but she pounced on herself, as if she was bent on death!" ”
The more Su Qi spoke, the more strange he felt, so he simply changed his posture and sat cross-legged on the futon, snapped his fingers and began to count: "First of all, Li Er of Sui Hanyuan died mysteriously, holding the fifth master's beloved son and mother in his hand; Then the female gentleman inexplicably appeared in the prince's study and took his usual white jade wolf hao; Tonight is Cui Ning in your courtyard again, somehow to touch the second master's beloved Feiyan knife......"
Yingniang simply sat down: "Then, these three people are all dead, except for Li Er's unknown cause of death, Zhong Yu and Cui Ning, but it is for you and me to be the wronged boss!" ”
Su Qi pondered: "If the same demon is the same demon, possessing these three people one after another, and stealing the beloved and habitual things of the three brothers of the Mu family again and again, what is the intention?" "Not necessarily, is it out of admiration?
The two sat in the ancestral hall and analyzed for half a night, still puzzled, Yingniang punched the futon with her fist and sighed: "It's a pity that all three of them are dead, otherwise I really want to ask them what they experienced before they died." ”
Her words reminded Su Qi: "It makes sense! ”
"What's the use of being reasonable?" This half-night made the two of her familiar, and Yingniang did not shy away from giving her a blank look, "Everyone is dead, go ask the ghost?" ”
Su Qi smiled deeply: You are really right!
Fortunately, the old princess also believed in Su Qi's evil words, so she symbolically punished Su Qi and Yingniang for kneeling in the ancestral hall for a day, and the two were ordered to be released at ten o'clock.
Su Qi dragged his tired body back to Huimu Zhai, and then plunged into Mr. Su's broken bookcase again, and before he could find out why, he saw two ghost friends Shi Shiran floating over, Huang Siniang was very relieved: "There is still strength to toss, it seems that the punishment is not heavy." ”
Su Qi was looking for something to do with them, so he had no intention of arguing with her, and said bluntly: "You came just in time, bother the two of you to go back to the palace, find the souls of Mr. Nu and the other three, and ask ......."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Huang Siniang slap her fat palm: "This is the same thing that heroes see, and I think the same way, so when you were punished to kneel in the ancestral hall last night, I pulled the little koi fish and searched inside and outside the palace, just to find the three dead ghosts and ask, what is going on with them, and guess what?" ”
Seeing that Su Qi had no interest in guessing, she had to say with a little frustration: "The result is ...... Not a single dead ghost has been found! ”
"Didn't find it?" Su Qi was surprised and a little puzzled: if Li Er died earlier, but Cui Ning died freshly last night, her soul should not float far away, and it is impossible to find it.
The only clue was also broken, and Su Qi sat at the table dejectedly: "The soul detaining ghosts in the underworld, when did the efficiency become so high?" ”
But he heard Li Jin say quietly: "It may not be that he was detained by a ghost......
"What could that be?" Huang Siniang didn't like Li Jin's pretentious appearance the most, "They didn't cheat to death like Miss Jiang's, can they still make themselves scattered?" ”
Li Jin glanced at her, stared at a pair of miserable white and pupilless eyes, and said, "Maybe these dead ghosts...... It's eaten! ”
As soon as he said this, even Su Qi was shocked and asked, "...... in this world?" Anything else to eat ghosts? ”
Huang Siniang hugged her fat hands on her chest, "Little koi...... Don't scare me......"
Li Jin said: "I've only heard of it. Many years ago, when I was traveling around, I met a little ghost named Ah San, and he told me about his tragic experience.
He said that when he was seven or eight years old, he once crossed the Wujiang River with his family to Qiannan, but the passenger boat unfortunately capsized while crossing the dangerous beach, causing the entire boat to drown.
However, coincidentally, the place where they drowned was a place of the most yin, and it was rumored that there was a dragon spirit shelter from the overlord of Western Chu underground, so they could protect their souls after death, so they stayed in the place of the most yin, and lived for many years.
It wasn't until one day that they suddenly noticed that their ghost companions seemed to be getting fewer and fewer, which aroused their alarm and gathered the remaining ghosts in a cave so that they could take care of each other.
That night, the ghosts suddenly saw a cloud of black gas floating from the entrance of the cave, and instantly involved the two ghosts closest to the entrance of the cave, and disappeared again.
The ghosts were so frightened that they huddled together and shivered, but the black qi became more and more restless after devouring the two ghosts, as if it was a gluttonous feast in front of them, and soon they attacked again and swallowed the three ghosts.
After a while, only Ah San and his father and mother were born in the cave, it can be said that there is no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the earth, although his father and mother knew that it was in vain, but they resolutely protected in front of Ah San, and unfortunately they were swept away and swallowed by the black gas.
At this time, there was only Ah San alone at the bottom of the cave, thinking that he was also in danger, and the black gas of the clinker didn't know if he was full, or he didn't look down on him, so he left without eating.
The little ghost Ah San lost all his relatives overnight, and he felt that wandering alone in the mountains was also sad, so he simply went out of the place of the most yin.
When I met him, he had been wandering between heaven and earth for several nights, and he didn't know where to go. After hearing about his tragic experience, I felt pity, so I guided him to Lethe River, crossed the Naihe Bridge and was reincarnated. ”
After Li Jin finished speaking for a long time, Huang Siniang was still immersed in horror and couldn't calm down for a long time: "There are still such sinister things in this world, feeding on ghosts?!" She was suddenly really afraid, "Oh my God, I've been wandering around the palace for the past two nights, and I'm still curious to find it!" If it sees a beautiful female ghost like me...... Isn't it bad luck? ”
Huang Siniang flew down suddenly, grabbed Su Qi's arm firmly, and buried a fat face on her shoulder: "I'm not going back to the palace!" Pg for take-in, beg for protection! ”
"It's okay to take it in, but what about protection...... The sword was taken away by the prince, and you know how much I can do" Su Qi kindly suggested: "Why don't I send you to the Gilded Town Soul Ding?" Exceptionally safe. ”
Huang Siniang immediately drifted away: "Then there is no need." ”
After the two ghosts left, Su Qi plunged into the broken bookcase again and began to look for a record of soul devouring.
She remembered that Mr. Su once said that the soul is the most yin thing in the world, and it is also the purest thing, and it is the foundation of all things in the world. Humans, beasts, and plants all have a lifespan, but as long as the soul is still alive after death, they can enter reincarnation and be reincarnated endlessly. And if the soul is gone, it is the real death.
Therefore, no matter whether it is the Buddhism and Taoism of the human world, or the underworld and the underworld, it is not allowed to use the soul to help the cultivators, which is regarded as the most poisonous and evil technique, and everyone can be punished.
