Chapter 46: The Mourning Hall
After the previous episode, Lin Yi and Guiguzi were really frightened in their hearts! Especially the shopkeeper, who was so frightened that he couldn't stand up, so he was helped out of the mourning hall by Lin Yi and Guiguzi and put back in his own room.
When he was about to leave the house, the shopkeeper repeatedly asked if there would be an accident today, and asked to stay with Lin Yi and the others today, but Lin Yi refused, saying that the jade was in his hands, so there would definitely be no accident tonight, and it was Lin Yi and the others who were unlucky to have an accident.
The two returned to Lin Yi's room, went to the kitchen to find something to eat, and discussed what to do next while eating.
"Brother Lin, if you want to say that all the spearheads are pointed at this jade this time, but this jade clearly doesn't seem to have any problems, could it be that the ghost is hiding in the jade? Or we'll destroy the jade and see if that's the case? Guiguzi was already extremely hungry, and basically two-thirds of the food on the table went into his stomach.
Lin Yi shook his head slightly, picked up the chopsticks and put them in his mouth to get over the addiction to smoking, and thought about it carefully: "That's not the case, if it's really a powerful ghost, according to the experience of the last time, if we touch the jade, he will definitely jump out by himself." ”
"Then Brother Lin, what do you think?"
"I can't talk about it, I think these evil ghosts should understand that someone will look for them this time, so they all have their own incarnations! For example, the shadow ghost in Xicheng last time used the shadow to hide his body, so that we could not find it, and second, it could be hidden and harmful, so as to stimulate the evil qi of the evil position. This awesome ghost this time should be the same! ”
Guiguzi seemed to have eaten enough, put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Needless to say, it must be this jade!" It's just that he used some kind of magic to make us not see. ”
"If it's really that obvious, it's against their intentions. I always felt that the ghost should be somewhere in that mourning hall! We just didn't pay close attention! ”
Since the jade was taken away by Lin Yi and the others, the shopkeeper naturally relaxed and prepared to rest. But the scene where the corpses of the boss and the proprietress suddenly jumped up before was infinitely looping in the mind of the shopkeeper, and he couldn't sleep at all, and he didn't even dare to close his eyes.
I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning on the bed, so the shopkeeper simply didn't sleep, got up and took a shower, washed off the smell on my body, and then changed into clean clothes and lay on the bed and began to think crankily. Thinking that if this matter was dealt with by Lin Yi and Guiguzi, this inn with good business would be his, and the previous fear was immediately gone, and he began a boundless reverie for a better life.
But thinking about it, he recalled his boss and the proprietress again, these two people have always been very good to him, they have no second daughter, and they have always been taught as their own son. Now that the two of them are dead, he is also very unhappy in his heart, thinking of the kindness of the boss and the proprietress in the past, and he doesn't know where he got the courage, he got up and went to the mourning hall to pay respects to the two benefactors.
Lighting a lantern, the shopkeeper came to the mourning hall again in the dark, although he did not notify Lin Yi and Guiguzi, but he had no fear in his heart, the boss and the proprietress were his relatives, even if he died, I believe he would not do anything to him. Besides, that damn jade was now in Lin Yi's hands, so he had nothing to fear at all.
Pushing open the door of the mourning hall and fixing the door on both sides, the shopkeeper walked straight in, hung the lantern on the wall, walked to the coffin and looked at the slightly hideous expressions of the boss and the proprietress in his heart. He raised his hand and stroked the faces of the two of them gently, adjusting his expressions again.
"Boss, boss, you can go with confidence. When this matter is over, I will definitely bury you beautifully, and then carry forward the inn you have worked so hard to build, and I will not let you down! There are two very powerful people in the store today, they are both disciples of Maoshan, and they will definitely be able to avenge you! ”
As the shopkeeper spoke, tears flowed out. He lifted his sleeve and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly felt some pain in his eyes, as if he had been smoked by smoke. He turned around and wanted to go out to find some water to clean up, but the moment he turned around, he suddenly found that there was an extra exquisite jade on the table in front of him!
In the dim environment, I suddenly saw this jade appear unconsciously, and the shopkeeper's hair almost stood on end! His legs did not stand firmly and fell to the ground, looking at the jade lying quietly on the offering table under the light, his eyes suddenly turned to another place, and his pupils contracted instantly! Frightened and shouted.
"It's not jade! It's not jade at all! Oh, yes!!! ”
Lin Yi and Guiguzi were talking in the room, when they suddenly heard a scream from the mourning hall! Listening to the voice, it seems to be the second shopkeeper!
Hearing the sound, Guiguzi was the first to react, kicked open the door and rushed towards the mourning hall! And the moment Lin Yi got up, he suddenly found that the jade that had been on the table had disappeared at some point! But Lin Yi didn't have time to think about it, and rushed to the mourning hall with Guiguzi.
As soon as they came to the gate of the mourning hall, Lin Yi and Guiguzi found that the shopkeeper had been hanged at the door of the mourning hall! His body was still shaking, and it was clear that he had just been hoisted for not long. But when Guiguzi stepped forward to cut the rope and save him, he was completely out of breath!
The expression of the corpse of the shopkeeper was extremely hideous and frightened, as if he had seen something terrifying before his death! And his frightened gaze fell on the offering table at the last moment, and the jade that ran to the mourning hall at some point!
"What did he come in for? Could it be that you were attracted by that jade? Guiguzi put the body of the shopkeeper on the ground and said angrily.
"He should have come in by himself, you see, the gate was carefully secured, he must have been targeted and killed by a ghost when he came in to do something!" Lin Yi said, raising his hand and pointing to the main gate that had been fixed.
Guiguzi angrily took the jade on the table, took out the Qiankun sword and cut the jade in two! Said: "This hurtful thing! I had already destroyed it before I knew it, and I killed another person! Anyway, the second child in this store is sick, right? I haven't been in for a long time, so what are you doing when you're coming in alone? ”
Just this sentence completely woke up Lin Yi! All the previous speculations are in tandem! Looking up at a certain place in the mourning hall, it was exactly the same as he thought! Excitedly, he said to Guiguzi behind him: "Old ghost! Cast a spell to seal this hall now! I know where the devil is hiding! ”
