Chapter 103: Ghost hunting at the inn

Mu Jingzhu does things, Qu Youying has never been worried, so she should eat and drink at home, and pack up her things by the way.

Three days later, in the early morning, Qu Youying took Yun Shu out with her.

In order to facilitate the work, Qu Youying asked Yun Shu and Xie Xiaoer to set off together, and she and Mu Jingzhu went to Yunyang Township to handle the case.

Along the way, Mu Jingzhu briefly told Qu Youying what happened in Yunyang Township.

Although Yunyang Township is developing well now, the aborigines there still retain the customs of a long time ago, one of which is the secret marriage.

Underworld marriage is the search for a spouse for the deceased.

In many places, there are many young boys and girls who die for some reason before they get married.

At that time, the older generation would think that if they didn't find a family for them, their souls would not be rested, they would make trouble in the yang house, and in serious cases, they would not be able to reincarnate.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a boy and a girl for them, hold a funeral marriage ceremony, and finally bury them together.

Basically, this kind of secret marriage is a family affair between the dead and the dead.

But in some places, there is still a kind of kinship between the dead and the living.

"It is said that the living will stay in the sun for seven days, and after seven days, they will die."

"Dead?" Qu Youying asked curiously, "How did you die?" Suicide? ā€

"I don't know, anyway, for this kind of death, the yamen will not pay attention to it, and the family members who hold the secret marriage will bury them together. This time, the underworld woman who was buried together in Yunyang Township did not die, she got up from the grave and returned home. Every seven days since she returned home, someone has died. As soon as the matter became a big one, many people thought that her ghost came back to ask for her life. But I was completely unaware of what was happening around me, and I didn't even know that I had worshiped with a dead person. ā€

"It's ...... Amnesia? ā€

Mu Jingzhu rode the same horse with her, running down the road, and said, "Yes." But according to the official document submitted by Yunyang Township, it was a full three days between when she was buried and when she got up. ā€

"Three days?" Qu Youying was taken aback, "A person is locked in a coffin, the coffin is nailed with nails, and it is buried in the soil, how can he climb out?" Many people can't even get out of the coffin. It only took her three days? Is this man really dead? ā€

"According to the autopsy report submitted at that time, it was indeed proved that he was dead. But in fact, at this moment man is alive. This incident caused a lot of turmoil in Yunyang Township, and Lord Zhao, the county magistrate of Yunyang Township, was uncontrollable, so he sent a request for help to Xiangling Township, hoping that someone would come forward to solve the matter. ā€

"Hey." Qu Youying smiled, and she said with mockery, "If this kind of thing happens, shouldn't he find a Taoist priest?" If you look for a quick catch, you can still catch ghosts for him. ā€

"Who knows!" Mu Jingzhu patted her head, watched the approaching village in front of her, slowly tightened the reins, and gradually stopped. "We will be in this village for one night tonight, and we will be able to reach Yunyang Township tomorrow."

At this moment, the sun is already setting, and the fiery red light shines on this small village, which is extraordinarily warm.

The surrounding vegetation is green, the breeze blows the natural scent of the countryside, the air is mixed with earth and greenery, and the scent of flowers from time to time is refreshing.

This village is called Anhe Village, and it is the closest village to Yunyang Township.

The two chose a relatively clean inn, and during dinner, they asked the shopkeeper about the secret marriage, and then learned that in this area, the dark marriage is something that everyone is accustomed to.

But for the marriage between the living and the dead, they still said it very vaguely, but the shopkeeper revealed a name.

Xiang Po.

A medium in charge of the marriage in this area.

The secret marriage in Yunyang Township was single-handedly facilitated by her, but after the incident, this person disappeared.

"It's not going to be a runaway, is it?"

Qu Youying smiled and asked, and the shopkeeper echoed and said, "This Xiangpo is very greedy for money, almost as long as the other party gives enough money, she dares to take any job, so in this village and town, it is very famous." But it is said that after this incident in Yunyang Township, the people in the government were also looking for her, but the people were gone, and the valuable things at home were said to be gone. ā€

Qu Youying nodded, "If it were me, I would have to run." ā€

"Yes." The shopkeeper said and added some tea to the two of them, and suddenly said, "Look at the two of you dressed up, they don't look like locals, could it be that they also heard about Yunyang Township and used to hunt ghosts and exorcise evil spirits?" ā€

Qu Youying looked down at herself in men's clothes, and then at Mu Jingzhu in a green shirt, looking quite a bit fairy-like, so she jokingly said, "Yes, we received an invitation from Yunyang Township, and we were about to go over, passing by here, to inquire about some news, just to do things well." ā€

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately came to his senses, "Since the two of you are exorcists, can you do me a favor?" ā€

"What's the busy?"

"This-"

The shopkeeper hesitated, looked back at the counter behind him, and didn't see the innkeeper, so he simply pulled out the bench and sat down, with his hands across the table.

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "If the two of you are really strangers, why don't you help take a look at this inn, I always feel that the inn has been haunted recently." ā€

Qu Youying shrunk her neck, "Haunted? ā€

"Lately, I've been hearing movement in the kitchen at night, but when I open the door and go in, it's empty. Also, at night, you can hear the sound of singing in the room on the west side of the second floor, and when you open the window, you will disappear, but when you fall asleep, you will hear it again. Not only me, but also the guests who lived here before, have encountered, and I have privately asked a Taoist priest passing by to exorcise evil spirits, but it will still happen afterwards, every day and every night, and over time, no one dares to stay in our inn. You're the first in a few days. ā€

"Privately?" Qu Youying asked curiously, "Why are you sneaking around like this?" Doesn't the innkeeper believe it? ā€

"Yes." The shopkeeper was a little discouraged when he talked about this, "This is the industry handed down by the boss's ancestors, and it is also the only means for him to support his family, I was adopted by the boss since I was a child, and it was for him that I wanted to keep the inn." But the owner always didn't believe in the haunting of the inn, so I had to ask someone privately. Please be sure to help me. ā€

"This-"

Qu Youying hesitated, because they didn't know how to exorcise evil spirits at all.

When she was thinking about how to refuse, Mu Jingzhu said, "I will investigate this matter tonight, and when the time comes, I will only ask you, the boss and others to stay in the house and not go out, so as not to hinder the investigation." If you don't succeed, you won't be charged, so you can rest assured. ā€

This remark made the shopkeeper very happy, he got up from the bench and bowed to the two, "Then you eat slowly, I'll go to the back first." ā€

Mu Jingzhu nodded, "Okay." ā€

Qu Youying waited for the shopkeeper to leave, then approached him, lowered his voice and asked, "We don't know how to catch ghosts at all, what do you promise him to do?" ā€

"This place is very close to Yunyang Township, and the news over there has also spread here, so there is no shortage of things over there that will not happen here. You sleep alone in the house at night, and I'll just go and see. ā€

"No, I'll go with you."

Qu Youying is not timid and afraid of ghosts, but in the past six months, she has often had a blank memory inexplicably, and then when she wakes up, she is always somewhere else.

This feeling is the same as being possessed by a ghost as written in the book, so she will burn paper money every time and beg the ghost to stay away from her.

So in this case, naturally I don't dare to be alone.

That night, when the night was dark and windy, every household in Anhe Village turned off their lights and fell into darkness.

The two quietly walked out of the room.

According to the shopkeeper's statement, they went to the kitchen door to squat first, but they squatted for an hour and did not encounter any movement. So they went to the room where they could hear the singing.

But in the guest room, after staying until the ugly hour, I didn't hear any singing.

So Qu Youying wondered, "You said it shouldn't be that the shopkeeper deliberately deceived us, right?" Is this nothing good at all? ā€

"If not, please don't pull my clothes like that."

"I—I'm just just in case."

Qu Youying let go of the hand that was tugging at Mu Jingzhu's sleeve, but she still didn't let go, and kept clinging to him one step at a time.

Mu Jingzhu smiled and patted her hands, "Don't keep it, go back and sleep for a while, and you'll have to hurry at dawn." ā€

Qu Youying pointed out the window, "Then don't check?" ā€

"Don't check it out."

Mu Jingzhu took her hand and turned around and walked towards the door, Qu Youying followed him nervously, how did he know that there was a cool breeze blowing on his cold neck before he turned around.

She was shocked and stopped, "Jing Candle." ā€

"What's wrong?"

"Do you feel a cool breeze?"

"Nope."

When he said this, Qu Youying felt a cool breeze blowing through his neck again.

"There really is."

Her voice trembled, and she could feel something behind her, goosebumps on her skin, and a cold swish on her back.

Mu Jingzhu turned around and put the candle in his hand on her side, "Look for yourself, where is the wind?" ā€

Qu Youying turned her head and saw that the candle flame had not changed in the slightest, and if there was wind, there would definitely be fluttering.

"But it was really windy just now."

"Maybe the windows are not closed tightly, and as soon as the door is opened, the wind forms a convection, so you can feel the wind." Mu Jingzhu let go of the hand holding her and touched her head, "Don't be afraid, with me with you, the ghosts and gods dare not approach." ā€

Qu Youying nodded stiffly, but still said uneasily, "Otherwise, you give me the candle, and I'll feel if there is any wind." ā€

Mu Jingzhu knew that Qu Youying had always thought that there were ghosts in her body, and she would burn paper money from time to time, so she was sometimes extremely sensitive in the face of haunted places.

So he gave it to her without hesitation, and then took her hand again and prepared to go back to the room.

Qu Youying held a warm big hand in one hand and a candle in the other, followed behind him, took a step, and crossed the threshold.

How did she know, at this time, the candle flame in her hand suddenly floated, and her whole body trembled, and she subconsciously shone the candle flame towards the darkness on the side.

Then under the faint yellow candle flame, she saw a miserable white face bleeding from seven orifices! He opened his big mouth, showing his blood-red teeth, and grinned at her!

"Ahh

She screamed loudly, and in an instant her face went black, and she fainted.
