Chapter 20: The Man Behind the Scenes
Nian Nu'er came to the woman's side and took the woman's hand again, and the two ghosts, one big and one small, were snuggling with each other, giving people an indescribable sense of picture.
It seemed that she was afraid of the bronze lamp in Mu Yi's hand, and for a while, Nian Nu'er did not attack again, and even returned to the appearance of the little girl, always changing between the two.
Su Jinlun glanced at Mu Yi, and when he saw Mu Yi contemplating, he didn't bother him, but just clenched the big knife in his hand harder, and protected Su Yingying.
Mu Yi is really thinking of a way at the moment, the big and the small in front of him are much more difficult than he imagined, especially Nian Nu'er, who not only has a complete sanity, but also has a significantly stronger strength.
Although there is a stalemate at the moment, Mu Yi understands that his mental strength is limited, and it is impossible to maintain this state of the bronze lamp all the time, once his mental strength is exhausted, Nian Nu'er and the woman may pounce.
"Slave, how about we talk?" Mu Yi thought in his heart, and then looked at Nian Nu'er and said.
"Brother doesn't catch slaves?" Nian Nu'er asked as if she was too serious.
"Don't worry, my brother won't catch the slave." As Mu Yi spoke, he slowly stopped pouring mental power into the bronze lamp, and the range of the flames continued to decrease until it returned to the same as before.
Seeing the flames disappear, the woman looked like she was about to move again, her dark eyes were full of resentment and stared at Mu Yi, obviously, she still remembered that Mu Yi had just hurt her.
But as Nian Nu'er gently took her hand, the woman's emotions gradually calmed down, and although the hostility did not completely disappear, she no longer tried to attack him.
Seeing this, Mu Yi sighed in his heart.
Although he said it easily just now, but in fact, his heart was also tight, for fear that he would be stiff if he was not careful, although he had the confidence to leave here, but this mission was tantamount to failure, not to mention that he could not explain to Su Chongshan, and his purpose of going down the mountain this time would also fall short.
Moreover, Mu Yi has never had any killing intent towards Nian Nu'er, perhaps it is precisely because he feels this that Nian Nu'er is so good at talking at this moment.
"Nu'er, you told my brother that there were many people who wanted to arrest you before?" Mu Yi asked softly, from the very beginning, Nian Nu'er kept repeating that someone wanted to catch her, but in Mu Yi's opinion, although those Taoist monks before were under the guise of catching ghosts, they were just ordinary people, swaggering and cheating, and they were not qualified to arrest her at all.
Obviously, Nian Nu'er was not referring to them.
"There is a sister who has always wanted to catch slaves, but they were beaten away by slaves." Nian Nu'er straightened her small chest and said with some pride.
"Sister?" Nian Nu'er's words once again confirmed Mu Yi's guess in his heart, there were no women who came to hunt ghosts before, and listening to Nian Nu'er's words, that 'sister' had already come more than once.
But who is that 'sister'? Why do you want to miss slaves? Could it be that there is another ghost here besides the mother and daughter?
Mu Yi suddenly felt a little numb on his scalp, did he enter a ghost den? I haven't seen a real ghost for so many years with the old way, but as soon as I got out of the mountain, I encountered it one after another, too good luck or bad luck?
"Do you remember that a grandmother came a few days ago?" Mu Yi's heart moved, and then asked.
"Is that the old lady who keeps talking to herself?" Nian Nu'er tilted her little head and thought for a moment before looking at Mu Yi suspiciously and asked.
"Yes, it's the old woman, did you hurt her at the time?" Mu Yi's tone was as soft as possible, he already felt that he had touched the key, maybe he could reveal the question in his heart through Nian Nu'er's answer.
In fact, after seeing Nian Nu'er, Mu Yi already had some doubts in his heart.
Before, he helped the old lady of the Su family cast an evil talisman, and he had a deep memory of the evil aura at that time, cold and evil.
Although Nian Nu'er is a ghost, she does not have that kind of yin and evil feeling on her body, and there is no evil aura.
Mu Yi still remembers that Lao Dao told him before that in this world, the most terrifying thing is never ghosts, but people. And not all the ghosts in this world are bad, and even because of the fear of the sun, most of the ghosts hide and dare not come out, and only a small part of the harm is done.
Compared to those who are under the guise of doing the right thing for heaven and slaying demons, ghosts are actually more cute.
Therefore, Mu Yi felt that there might be something hidden in the matter, whether it was Nian Nu'er or her mother, it was impossible to hurt the old lady.
After all, if they are here for so long, if they are in trouble, how can the walls of this district stop them? Even every once in a while, someone comes to clean up, why do they never have an accident?
But the old lady came and was killed?
The more he thought about it, the more Mu Yi felt that something was wrong, and it could even be said that he had thought about things simply from the beginning, especially after Nian Nu'er said that there was a 'sister' who had caught her, Mu Yi's feeling became stronger and stronger.
If the old lady was not harmed by the mother and daughter in front of her, then who would it be? What is the purpose of the other party's this?
Mu Yi raised his head and stared at Nian Nu'er tightly, who immediately leaned closer to his mother.
Now, Mu Yi has the answer in his heart, the real purpose of the other party, or the goal, is obviously the Nian Nuer in front of him.
For some people who raise ghosts, a sane ghost like Nian Nu'er is definitely rare and extremely rare.
Suppose that someone inadvertently found the traces of Nian Nu'er and wanted to arrest her, but after all, the Su family is a big family, and it is second to none in this Funiu Town, and the guards at home are tough, and it may not be possible to deal with ghosts, but there is absolutely no problem in dealing with people.
That person should be a ghost raiser, in order not to be discovered, to avoid making too much noise, he sent his female ghost to catch Nian Nu'er, but he didn't expect Nian Nu'er to be strong, and he repelled the female ghost again and again.
At this time, the man could only think of another way, so he instructed the ghost to harm the old lady of the Su family, and it could only be said that the old lady of the Su family was in a hurry, even if she didn't come here, the situation would not change anything.
When all the famous doctors are helpless, there must be people who can find the clue and think that the old lady is provoking something unclean.
Even if no one finds out, I believe that person has a way to get the news out.
In this way, the Su family will definitely invite some Taoist monks to catch ghosts, in this case, that person can come to the door in a grand manner, no matter how much trouble there is, no one will suspect him, not only can he catch Nian Nu'er, but also accept the Su family's heavy reward, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
If the only accident is concerned, I'm afraid it is Mu Yi who suddenly appeared.
(The last few chapters are a bit bland, Kun Kun modified the plot behind it, making the novel more exciting and terrifying, so there is only one chapter today, and there will definitely be three chapters tomorrow, and I ask for a league ticket, bow and thank you!) )
