Chapter 44: Jade

There were no words all the way, and the two of them rushed for nearly two days without sleep, until Lin Yi's hands and feet were weak, and the two of them reached the next position, Meizhou!

Although the never-ending darkness made Lin Yi lose his sense of time, from Maoshan to the present for nearly three days of sleeplessness, Lin Yi's spirit was on the verge of collapse, and he couldn't wait to fall asleep while standing. casually found an inn in Meizhou and opened two rooms, and slept without even taking off his shoes.

I don't know how long I slept this night, and in a trance, Lin Yi heard someone knocking on the door, opened his hazy eyes and asked, "Who?" ”

As soon as Lin Yi's words fell, the door of the room slowly opened, and the shopkeeper came in with a plate of wine and food with a smile on his face, looked at Lin Yi on the bed and said directly: "This guest officer, you finally woke up, how tired are you?" I didn't wake up until now. ”

Lin Yi rubbed his eyes, feeling that his mental state was much better, but he was a little hungry, he didn't wash when he got up and got out of bed, he sat on the table and asked while gobbling up wine and food, "Little Er, how long have I been asleep?" ”

"You've slept all day and night! I've brought you food and drinks a few times, but I haven't woken you up. ”

"I slept all day and night? How did it take so long? Did the one who came with me wake up? Lin Yi was also a little surprised to hear that he had slept for a day and a night, but thinking that he hadn't slept for three days, it should be normal to sleep for so long.

Xiao Er smiled and said, "No, he's still asleep." ”

"This Guiguzi, can you sleep better than me? I see that this kid dares to urge me to hurry when he wakes up this time! Lin Yi thought so in his heart, and suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip, so he asked Xiao Er: "By the way, Xiao Er, have you had any strange things happen here recently?" ”

Xiao Er was suddenly asked by Lin Yi, and asked blankly, "What do you mean by the strange thing that the guest officer said?" ”

"Oh, to put it simply, is there any haunting or frequent deaths, you can rest assured that it is, I am a Maoshan disciple!"

As the saying goes, the shadow of a person's famous tree, the name of Maoshan is equivalent to an atomic bomb in this era, who would not know the way? As soon as the little second heard Lin Yi say that he was a disciple of Maoshan Mountain, he knelt down in front of Lin Yi and said with tears in his eyes: "Great Immortal, help!" Speaking of which, something strange has happened recently! ”

Seeing Xiao Er's reaction, Lin Yi understood that he had won the lottery this time, but he didn't expect to be able to find clues just after he came! So I asked Xiao Er to wait for a while, got up and pulled Guiguzi next door off the bed, and listened to Xiao Er talk about the whole thing together.

Due to its location in a busy section, business has always been very good, and it is full almost every day, which has allowed the owner here to accumulate some wealth, and since then he has developed a hobby, that is, buying fine jade.

On the morning when the sky darkened, the boss went out early, and didn't come back excitedly until noon, but there was a small and exquisite jade in his hand, even if a layman like Xiao Er went to see it, he could feel its value.

After asking, I learned that this jade was picked up by the boss when he was visiting the market this morning, and after expert identification, this is a perfect Hetian jade, which is worth a fortune! That's why the boss is so excited.

picked up the baby, even Xiao Er got benefits, the boss held a banquet at home, and gave Xiao Er some bonuses, which made Xiao Er almost unable to sleep with excitement.

But early the next morning, when Xiao Er woke up and was about to clean up the inn, he found that the boss had hanged himself! hanged himself in his bedroom, and he didn't even notice the proprietress who slept next to him! The most creepy thing is that the boss's expression is very happy, without the slightest fear before death!

After the boss died, the heartbroken boss lady beat him to death and didn't believe that the boss committed suicide, so she invited an official to investigate, but all kinds of signs showed that the boss did commit suicide.

After the official errand left, Xiao Er, who was preparing for the boss's funeral, accidentally found that the boss had been holding the jade in his hand, and Xiao Er took a lot of effort to break the boss's hand and take out the jade and hand it to the boss's wife. As soon as the proprietress saw the jade, she insisted that it was definitely this jade that killed the boss, so she asked Xiao Er to throw the jade into the nearby river.

Xiao Er felt that the proprietress must be sad to say this, but it was not good to disobey the boss's order, so he threw the jade directly into the river. But when he returned, he found that the proprietress had gone crazy! It turned out that before he came back, the jade stone he threw into the river actually returned to the inn one step ahead of him, and it was in the hands of the proprietress!

Seeing this situation, the shopkeeper was completely frightened! Hurriedly snatched the jade in the boss's hand and threw it aside, and then helped the proprietress back to the house to rest, no longer daring to care about the jade.

But the next morning, what should have happened happened, following the boss who hanged himself, the boss lady also hanged herself in the same position this morning! And with that damn jade in his hand!

Since the boss and the proprietress are dead, this inn is naturally owned by the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper is not happy at all, and now he completely believes that there is definitely something wrong with the jade! I didn't even want to take the jade out of the wood, I wanted to throw it away. But no matter how many times the shopkeeper throws it, that jade will always be able to return to the funeral hall of the boss and the proprietress by itself! This made the shopkeeper completely collapse! After a day of fear, he waited for Lin Yi and Guiguzi to stay, and then knew that the two of them were disciples of Maoshan, so he told the two of them everything.

After listening to the shopkeeper narrate the whole thing, Lin Yi turned his head and asked Guiguzi, who didn't seem to have fully woken up, "Old ghost, what do you think about this?" ”

Guiguzi thought for a while and said, "Did we really sleep for a day and a night? How do I feel like I've only been asleep for a short time? ”

"Rub! Who asked you this! I'm asking you what the hell is going on with that jade! Lin Yi angrily gave Guiguzi's head a blow to help him sober up.

Being beaten by Lin Yi, Guiguzi was really a little sober, rubbed his head and said: "How can I know the Tao if I haven't seen this, now all the clues point to that strange jade, if nothing else, this evil ghost should have turned into that jade!" ”

Lin Yi nodded and said, "I think so too, let's go and see that jade first, if it is really transformed by a powerful ghost, then things will be simple!" ”

As he spoke, Lin Yi turned his head to the shopkeeper with a sad face and said, "Little Er, take us to the mourning hall where the jade is placed to have a look, don't worry, we have this matter in charge!" ”
