Wang Shen walked around the Zhu family's mansion and didn't find anything unusual, which made him puzzled.

"Could it be that it's already gone?"

Daozheng wondered.

Wang Shen shook his head and said: "It stands to reason that no, according to Doctor Tao, this ghost should not be a particularly powerful and vicious thing, it is just hiding in other people's homes and secretly sucking its soul when people are not paying attention." It is estimated that such a ghost will not dare to appear during the day, and it is impossible to learn the news from the outside so quickly. ”

"It can't be hiding in something, is it?"

Zheng Cheng asked unsure.

"I can know even if I'm hiding, but...... I said, Xiaozheng, is there any powerful magic weapon in this world that can cover up the qi of this ghost?"

Wang Shen suddenly remembered what Xiao Bai had said to him, in addition to various cultivation methods in this world, there are many magic weapons of all kinds.

Daozheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Yes, this kind of magic weapon is there, if that ghost is really hidden in the magic weapon, it will be difficult to find." ”

"Can't you tell what a magic weapon is?"

Wang Shen asked.

Dao Zheng shook his head and said: "Where can I tell the difference, those people who refine magic weapons have strange ideas, and any pots and pans may be used as magic weapons." And if it's really the kind of magic weapon you said that you can hide and hide, it is estimated that it is extremely inconspicuous itself. It's going to take a while to find it in such a big house. ”

Wang Shen fell into contemplation again, and after a while, he whispered a few words to Zheng Cheng, Zheng Cheng nodded again and again, and immediately ordered his subordinates to call all the people in the Zhu family's mansion to him.

The Zhu family has a big business, and there are more than a dozen servants who are present here, and they don't know that the house is haunted, otherwise some of the timid ones would have packed up their things and run away.

"This official is the governor of Qinzhou Prefecture, and now I call you over because I have something to ask you, this matter is related to the life and death of your master, remember to answer from the truth. ”

In front of these subordinates, Zheng Cheng, who is the capital, is not angry and arrogant, and the dozen or so subordinates only know that their master and wife are sick, and they would expect to be alarmed by the judge to come to the door for questioning, and they all dare not pant loudly.

Zheng Cheng's question was very simple, and the Zhu family was also very cooperative, for fear of missing something, they all volunteered to answer, but after a while, Zheng Cheng asked what he wanted to ask.

"According to what these subordinates said, only the study and the treasury in this mansion are the two rooms that only his master and wife will frequent, and as for the little young master, it is not clear, I heard that the little young master is more naughty on weekdays, and he is favored, so no one can control him when the house is full of chaos. ”

"Study and storeroom?"

Wang Shen and Dao Zheng looked at each other and left with people.

The warehouse that the two went to see first, was responsible for opening the door and leading the way was an old housekeeper of the Zhu family, this housekeeper was also surnamed Zhu, a distant relative of Boss Zhu, and the most trusted person of the Zhu family in the whole house.

The old housekeeper opened the locks without saying a word, led the two in, and then opened all the door cabinets for the two to check.

When Wang Shen saw the belongings in this room, he was taken aback, Dao Zheng didn't have much interest in these yellow and white vulgar things, but just looked at the utensils that might be magic weapons.

The old housekeeper quietly watched the movements of the two on the side, and when the two of them were almost overturned, the old housekeeper suddenly came to Wang Shen's side and asked in a low voice, "Are the two young masters the officials in the mansion in the north of the city?"

Wang Shen nodded.

The old butler's eyes obviously flashed with a trace of worry, before he saw that Daozheng was wearing a Taoist robe, and there was a Xuanhuang flag on his waist, he knew that his master's illness was not just as simple as a judge. The old housekeeper was proficient in human affairs, and watched every move of the two of them, and soon he took it upon himself to take out a few silver tickets and secretly stuffed them into Wang Shen's hands.

"Master Xianguan, I'm afraid that this little vulgar thing can't get into your eyes, but I have been a housekeeper in the Zhu family for more than 20 years, so I want to ask, what's wrong with my master?"

The old housekeeper just stuffed money to Wang Shen, whispered and concealed the truth, so he knew that he had an old vision, Wang Shen originally wanted to refuse, but when he touched the thick silver ticket in his hand that made him happy, he still quietly stuffed it into the cuffs.

"Don't worry, your lord has a big life, and Doctor Tao reported it to the judge as soon as possible, so he invited us to come. Next, as long as you cooperate with us, there will be no major problems, and besides, you don't tell anyone else about this. ”

Wang Shen instructed.

The old butler nodded again and again and said: "The importance of the old decay province, the two immortal officials have anything to order." ”

Having said that, this old housekeeper is also a mortal, and when he knew that he had something unclean in his house, the whole person became nervous, and he firmly followed Wang Shen and did not dare to stay away.

"There shouldn't be one here. ”

Dao Zheng, who had been busy for a long time, shook his head and said.

"Well, go to the study. ”

"The two immortal officials, please. ”

The old housekeeper hurriedly led the way in front, the study was not far from the warehouse, the warehouse was hidden with valuable things, especially such an important place was the most inconspicuous, the room was also very small and dim, and the Zhu family's study was extremely rich and magnificent. Dao Zheng felt a little big when he looked at the study room with a total of three or four rooms outside here, it turned out that this Boss Zhu didn't read any books when he was young, but the more uneducated people are, the more afraid others will find out that he has no ink on his chest. So he built a huge study, and in the study there were more than a dozen shelves of all sizes, and there were all kinds of study utensils on them. On weekdays, this Boss Zhu has nothing to do, so he hides in the study alone and fiddles with these scholarly collections that he is proud of and valuable.

Such a palatial study didn't look like there was something spooky hidden in it, but Wang Shen noticed a hint of weirdness as soon as he entered the door.

"Don't go in yet. ”

Wang Shen grabbed Daozheng.

"What's wrong?"

The Tao is incomprehensible.

Wang Shen pointed to the sky and whispered, "It's almost dark this day, and I'm eighty percent sure that the ghost thing is hiding here." But if that magic weapon can really be hidden, you see that this study is full of hundreds of big and small gadgets, and you won't be able to tell the real from the fake for a while. I don't think it'...... like this."

Wang Shen said a plan in Daozheng's ear, and Daozheng nodded and agreed after thinking about it.

waited until the sun set and the moon rose, and the sky was completely dark, Wang Shen walked into the study alone, and then asked the housekeeper to light the lamp, close the door, and sit alone on the Taishi chair where Boss Zhu usually sits, and took a book to look at.

This study is indeed very large, the collection of books is also varied, in addition to the wall is also full of calligraphy and paintings, Wang Shen is not very interested in these, he has never read any decent books in his life, or has read them, but he can't remember everything before he was fifteen years old.

Therefore, Wang Shen casually found a book and put it on his desk to look at it randomly.

After turning over a book, there was no movement in the study, and Wang Shen was not in a hurry, so he took out the second book to read. However, this book made him a little interested, and it was actually about some customs and events of the Northern and Southern Dynasties after the war subsided in the late Han Dynasty.

For a countryman like Wang Shen, who had been a soul collector from a remote village for five years, this book was so useful that he was so immersed in it that he almost forgot what he was doing here.

I don't know how long it took, but when Wang Shen was about to finish the second book with hunger, he suddenly heard an alarm in the sea, and a yin qi crept towards him from a corner of the study.

Hey, the fox tail is still exposed.

Wang Shen continued to read quietly, and the yin qi was also more cautious, and after testing a few times, he saw that Wang Shen had no reaction and approached boldly, and at this moment, Wang Shen suddenly turned his head to look in that direction.

"Dare to come out and do evil!"

With Wang Shen's angry shout, the sneaky yin qi was startled, and in a hazy way, Wang Shen saw a thin figure fleeing to a corner of the study.

Wang Shen smiled, he was waiting for this time, in fact, he deliberately used himself as bait to read in the study, the purpose was to know where this ghost was hiding in the end. And the cultivation of this ghost who did evil in the Zhu family is indeed not high, and his courage is still small, so he was so frightened by Wang Shen that he hid directly in his lair.

Wang Shen followed the trail, and on a wooden shelf in the study, he saw a delicate and delicate small jade bottle.

This jade bottle is pitch black, glowing with a faint black light, very small, the bottle mouth to the bottom of the bottle is only the length of Wang Shen's fingers, with a big belly and a thin neck, and the shape is extremely elegant. Wang Shen saw with his own eyes that the yin qi had surged into the jade bottle, but when he released his mental power to check, he found that the bottle was empty and there was nothing.

"Interesting. ”

Wang Shen stretched out his hand and took the jade bottle in his hand, tossed it over and over for a while, and there was no movement in it.

"I really can't hide from it, tsk. ”

This jade bottle was held by Wang Shen in his hand, the tentacles were warm, and the touch was extremely delicate and smooth, which made him love it, and after thinking about it, he directly stuffed it into his arms, and then pushed the door out.

"Solved?"

Dao Zheng, who had been waiting nearby, jumped down from a high roof, and when he saw Wang Shen's refreshed appearance, he guessed seven or eight points.

Wang Shen nodded and said, "Well, it's solved." ”

Dao Zheng poked his head out and looked into the study for a moment, and saw that it was neat and there were no traces of fighting, so he was slightly surprised: "It's so simple?"

Wang Shen patted his chest and said proudly: "That's natural, under Lao Tzu's soul suppression technique, all demons and monsters will be wiped out." ”

Dao Zheng stretched out a thumbs up and said with sincere admiration: "Awesome." ”

"You go and talk to Master Zheng who is the judge, and say that the matter has been settled. As for the illness of Boss Zhu's family of three, they can only find some nourishing prescriptions to slowly recuperate. ”

Seeing Wang Shen walking out alone, Dao Zheng hurriedly asked, "Then where are you going?"

"I've got to go to the city. ”

"Now?"

"yes, to see an old friend. ”

After speaking, Wang Shen waved his hand, no longer paying attention to Dao Zheng and walked out by himself.
