Chapter 232: The town is haunted

"We are here, three years ago, it was also a town famous for its trade with neighboring countries, with the country of Lati in the northeast and the country of Mir in the northwest, and the trade volume with us is not small. But one night three years ago www.biquge.info, a black whirlwind suddenly hung in the town, and a large number of people were killed and injured in the streets that night. Later, there were a few brave people who went out at night to find out, but none of them ended well.

The strange thing is that as soon as the sun rises, the smell of evil disappears completely, and the merchants and residents who close their doors and windows at night are all fine. The consul in our city also asked the aislemen to do the trick to eradicate the evil, but in the end they came to the conclusion that there were ghosts wandering here. The shopkeeper sighed.

"Then why don't you get out of here?" Situ Hui wondered.

"Of course we want to get out of here, who wants to be in the company of ghosts all day? But there was a treasure of the Desperate Onmyoji who did divination here, saying that as long as there are still people here, the ghost will not leave easily, but once this place becomes an empty city, the ghost will spread to the surrounding cities, so the king also ordered that the original residents here should not be relocated, and the ban will not be lifted until the ghosts here are completely resolved. But we've been here for so long, and we haven't heard of anyone who can deal with the ghost.

In fact, if it is just haunted at night, we can barely accept it, after all, it is rare to go out at night, and everyone is safe and sound when the doors and windows are closed at night. You are travelers from a foreign country and don't know what is going on here. If you come here half an hour later, we won't even dare to open the door for you......" The shopkeeper came out of the counter and led everyone to the guest room.

After listening to his explanation, everyone also understood why there was no one on the street and why the shops closed early. It's no wonder that Xiao Er is so nervous, and the guests will look at them strangely - after all, they are not in a hurry when they come......

"Do you have any definite news of the ghost? Or has anyone seen the ghost with their own eyes? Xuanyuan asked.

"If you have seen it with your own eyes, how can there be a living person? Even the Onmyoji-sama of that treasure is in a desperate situation says that he is not the opponent of the ghost, what can we do? Except for staying closed at night, we ordinary people really can't do anything......" Xiao Er shook his head helplessly.

"Is that ......" Xuanyuan listened, falling into deep thought.

The five of them stayed in four rooms, and Xiao Er repeatedly told everyone not to open the window or steal out of the inn before leaving.

"Brother Xuanyuan, is there really a ghost?" Xin'er sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Xuanyuan.

"The so-called ghosts, that is, those evil spirits, resentful spirits, or some unknown magical beasts, many words, are just those who have no strength to deceive themselves." Xuanyuan leaned over and stroked Xin'er's head.

"Well, even if there is a ghost, Brother Xuanyuan will protect me, right?" Xin'er looked at Xuanyuan prettyly, her two big eyes blinking and blinking, very cute.

"Hmm." Regulus nodded.

Xuanyuan enjoyed Xin'er's intimate feeling very much. Occasionally, she will show her weak side and let herself enjoy the feeling of being needed, but when she needs it, Xin'er will help herself very intimately, and she is definitely not a drag bottle. This kind of girl is the most in line with the requirements of the ideal girl in Xuanyuan's heart.

While comforting Xin'er, Xuanyuan also recalled what the shopkeeper had just said. He always felt that the so-called "ghosts" here were a little strange.

If they are evil spirits or evil spirits, they rely on human souls to strengthen themselves, which may explain why so many humans die. But just by closing doors and windows to keep them out? Unless every household has a magic weapon or charm, it is not possible. But if it's a monster, only those that haunt at night, such as blood bats and werewolves, these rarely appear in the human world, and if they are, there should be obvious traces on those who die, and they shouldn't be mistaken for ghosts.

Thinking about it this way, there seem to be a lot of loopholes in Xiao Er's explanation just now, at least what he said should be a lot of untruthful, or he is also hearsay and false rumors.

"Xin'er, let's go, go downstairs with me and have a look." Xuanyuan picked up Xin'er, walked out of the guest room, and headed towards the hall. Since Xiao Er's description just now has a problem, he still wants to know more, if it is really a non-creature such as an unjust soul, if this shot can be solved by the way, maybe he can directly make a breakthrough. Of course, the reason for pulling Xin'er was not to ask her to help, but just to keep Xin'er from feeling scared in the room.

The people who are eating downstairs are naturally living in this inn, after all, everyone is afraid to go out at night, and now that they are here, they must be spending the night here, so if you want to understand the situation, it is very suitable.

Xuanyuan did not rush forward to ask, but mobilized his spiritual power and listened to their conversation before deciding who to ask. Although he is not an introvert, this kind of direct accosting and questioning is not his style.

"Have you heard, Seongnam died another one last night."

"It's really fake, it can't be Yu Bald, right?"

"But it's not, two days ago, his child was lost, and he didn't find a place to find it, so he felt that his child was eaten by the ghost, and swore that he would find the ghost for revenge, but he also fell into it, hey, he did evil......"

As soon as Xuanyuan's spiritual power began to disperse, he heard the information he wanted. There were four people sitting at the table closest to Xuanyuan, who had finished their dinner and started chatting after dinner, and they were talking about something related to the ghost. Therefore, Xuanyuan and Xin'er took the initiative to come over and plan to find out.

"Big brother, what happened last night?" Xuanyuan patted the shoulder of the man who had spoken first and asked.

"Huh?" The man glanced back at Regulus, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Oh, that's right, my brothers and my little sister are merchants from the Wuxia Empire, and we plan to come here to do some business, but this place is a little different from when we came a few years ago, it seems that there are ghosts at work, so we also want to figure out the ins and outs, so we are also a little prepared, aren't we?" Xuanyuan laughed and took out a few silver dollars and stuffed them into the man.

"Oh, the son who has never been in the summer, rare guest, you can be regarded as asking the right person, I am a famous priest in this city, and I know the best about this ghost hurting people!" When the man saw the silver dollar, he also smiled, moved a bench, and let Xuanyuan and Xin'er sit down.

Xuanyuan felt the spiritual power fluctuations emanating from this person's body, it seemed that it was the cultivation of the Yuan Shen Realm, as a priest, it was enough to treat some common diseases, but it was useless to study those "ghosts" that even the treasure desperate onmyoji couldn't move. However, seeing that he was so confident, he really seemed to know something, so Xuanyuan also planned to listen to his observations and opinions.

"Someone died again last night?" Xuanyuan is also a straight to the point.
