Chapter 125: The Devil's Advice
Wu Zhiyuan's sleepy eyes were hazy, but his consciousness was very clear, and he was not afraid to ask: "Who are you?" ”
When you ask the ghost who the other person is, he must be referring to the identity of the other party before his death. The ghost figure stood silently on the edge of the kang in white clothes, and the moonlight projected from the white paper of the pane, shining on the scattered hair, which looked even more eerie.
"It doesn't matter who I am, come with me." The ghost was silent for a moment before replying, his voice cold, a male voice.
After the words fell, the ghost figure turned around and walked towards the door, and the action of turning was just right, so that Wu Zhiyuan had no chance to see his face at all.
Listening to what ghosts say is often considered to be ghostly, Wu Zhiyuan was not confused by ghosts, but he wanted to know what was going on in Lu Dao, so he hesitated slightly, then got up and walked to the door.
When he walked to the main room, he found that the door was wide open, and the male ghost was gone, he followed a few steps out of the main room and entered the courtyard, and found that the courtyard door was also open, and the male ghost in white was standing at the door with his back to him, and saw Wu Zhiyuan follow out, and disappeared in a flash to the east.
Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly rushed out, and saw that the male ghost was already ten zhang away at this time, his feet off the ground, and his body drifted forward, very fast.
Wu Zhiyuan ran his vitality to follow, and after walking a short distance, he suddenly found that this was the way to Longshan, and his heart was suddenly full of doubts.
"Going to Longshan again?" Wu Zhiyuan muttered in his heart, he looked at the white-clothed male ghost in front of him, no matter how fast Wu Zhiyuan was, there was always a certain distance between the two.
The male ghost drifted in front, Wu Zhiyuan chased closely behind, and in a few moments, he arrived under the mountain lion. The male ghost did not stop, and floated directly past the mountain guard lion and headed towards the north side.
Wu Zhiyuan didn't dare to hesitate, he sped up and followed, after passing the mountain guard, he couldn't see the shadow of the male ghost in white, all around was a pile of rocks, obstructing the vision, Wu Zhiyuan stopped and looked around, and at the same time raised his vigilance in his heart.
"Here." The cold voice came to mind on the north side, and Wu Zhiyuan heard the sound and walked around a few piles of rocks and walked towards the location where the sound was.
Next to a mess of rocks, Wu Zhiyuan saw the figure of the male ghost, at this time he stood coldly beside the rocks, to Wu Zhiyuan's surprise, there was also a white-clothed ghost standing next to the male ghost who was exactly the same as him in costume and the same size. The two ghosts were facing away from Wu Zhiyuan, and for a while, he couldn't tell which was the ghost that led him to come and which was the ghost who came later.
"He's coming?" One of the ghosts asked the other.
"Hmm." Another ghost replied.
At this point, Wu Zhiyuan was sure that these two ghosts were both men, because their voices were both men.
"Who the hell are you? What are the intentions of bringing me here? Wu Zhiyuan pretended to be bold and asked sharply.
"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is Dong Qian's business." The male ghost on the left replied, and his tone was surprisingly cold.
"Dong Qian's business?" Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but ask softly, and wondered in his heart, what happened to Dong Qian? How did they know about Dong Qian?
"A hundred years ago, your ancestors of the Wu family occasionally committed unrighteous acts, mutilated more than ten names, and even killed the sick and weak woman Dong Qian and threw her body, and she was also confused for a while. But for more than 100 years, Dong Qian's unjust soul was unlucky, and when the Taoist priest surrendered to the evil demons, she was trapped in the Seven Evil Soul Locking Array by mistake, so that she suffered from the Seven Evil Soul Devouring Array every day, and now the formation has been broken, but she can no longer go to the underworld to report because of the passing hours, so she can only wander away from the yang world, lonely. The ghost on the right is ghostly and ghostly, and the tone is as cold as the ghost on the left.
Wu Zhiyuan was shocked when he heard this, and secretly wondered how they could know the grievances between Dong Qian and the ancestors of the Wu clan so clearly, and even knew everything about his master Gu Shen setting up the Seven Evil Soul Locking Array to trap the drought.
Just when Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled, he only heard the ghost on the left answer: "Good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, and the two Wu brothers must not die well, it is really heavenly retribution." However, there is a balance in all things in the world, and the sins created in the past life should be made up for in the future life, and what your Wu ancestors owe to Dong Qian should be compensated by your generation. ”
"Compensation? How to compensate? Wu Zhiyuan blurted out, but suddenly remembered in his mind that he had promised Dong Qian to bring her bones back to her hometown for burial, and at the same time, he suddenly realized that when Dong Qian left at the peak of Longshan Mountain, he said "Don't forget what you once said", which must be what he meant.
At the same time, Wu Zhiyuan also remembered a question, that is, where Dong Qian's hometown was, he didn't know anything at all.
"Come here." The ghost figure on the left gently beckoned to Wu Zhiyuan.
Wu Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, and slowly walked between the two ghosts.
"Look here." The ghost figure on the right slowly raised his hand and pointed to the rock, and the stone "banged" and rolled to the sides, revealing a white miserable skeleton in the middle. The bones are now only bones, and the clothes they wear have long been eroded by the wind and rain.
"This is ......" Wu Zhiyuan had already guessed in his heart that this must be Dong Qian's bones.
"This is Dong Qian's bones." The ghost on the left replied coldly, confirming Wu Zhiyuan's guess.
"Look here." The ghost figure on the right raised his hand and pointed to the neck of the bone, Wu Zhiyuan looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a brocade box hanging from the neck of Dong Qian's bone, the brocade box seemed to be made of silver, although it had been baptized by wind and rain for more than 100 years, there were no traces of rust.
"What is this?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at the brocade box, but he didn't reach out to pick it up.
"You take this brocade box with you, put away the bones, take it to Qixia County, Dengzhou Prefecture, find a family named Dong Qingqiu, leave the brocade box, and deliver the bones to the Dong family for burial." The ghost on the left pointed eloquently.
Wu Zhiyuan listened to the ghost's guidance, and half of the mystery in his heart was solved, and he knew that Dong Qian's hometown was in Qixia County, Dengzhou Prefecture, and the person in the family was called Dong Qingqiu. But this brocade box was originally Dong Qian's belongings, why did this ghost let him keep the brocade box privately, but just return the bones to the Dong family?
"Nishiki Box...... I'm going to keep it private? Wu Zhiyuan asked the doubts in his heart.
"Just deliver the bones to the Dong family for burial, and you have to keep the brocade box by your side and carry it with you. Remember, remember. The ghost on the right replied slowly.
Wu Zhiyuan was now between the two ghosts, although they were both facing each other, Wu Zhiyuan still couldn't see their faces.
"Why?" Wu Zhiyuan was even more puzzled when he heard this, and had to ask.
"Don't ask what to do, just do it." The ghost on the left replied coldly, with a commanding tone in his words.
"Let me do it, you have to promise me one condition." Wu Zhiyuan leaned down and looked sideways, wanting to see the appearance of these two ghosts, most of their current appearance was what they looked like when they were alive.
"You say." The two ghosts spoke in unison.
"Let me see what you look like!" Wu Zhiyuan also replied in a commanding tone.
"You've seen what we look like." The two ghosts replied in unison.
"You've been turning your back to me, I can't see it at all, you turn around now!" Wu Zhiyuan took a few steps back, so that he was no longer caught between the two ghosts, and he could see the appearance of two ghosts at the same time within his field of vision.
Hearing this, the two ghosts slowly turned around at the same time, and the moment they turned around, Wu Zhiyuan was so frightened that he couldn't help but retreat again and again.
The two ghosts turned out to be facing away from Wu Zhiyuan, Wu Zhiyuan saw the back of their heads, and when they turned around, Wu Zhiyuan found that their front was still the back of their heads!
They don't have a face at all!
