Chapter 170: The Mysterious Piano Master

Day 2.

Bihu got up with two huge dark circles under her eyes, she sat up and lay down in the straw pile again: "I'm too sleepy......

"Sleepy, stay here." Chu Chunxi walked to her side and whispered, "You savage should stay in the countryside, this place is suitable for you, don't come to cling to us."

Bihu heard Chu Chunxi scolding her, but she was not in a hurry, she looked around, and saw that Xie Qianyun and Cheng Hengchuan were not in the house, her fingertips lightly tapped on the right shoulder of the girl in red, and she also whispered, "Why are you so stinky today, did you sleep on last night?"

Chu Chunxi raised his hand and was about to hit someone, but his shoulder seemed to be broken, not only was the pain extremely severe, but it was also soft and unable to use force, and the pain made her gasp, but Bihu got up and glanced back at her without turning a deaf ear.

"It says that good people will be rewarded with good and bad people will be rewarded with evil, what do you think you will repay?" After speaking, he happily went out to see Cheng Hengchuan.

"You!" Chu Chunxi was so angry that he chased out the door and pushed Bihu to the ground with his left hand, "I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"

Seeing this, Cheng Hengchuan pushed her away, picked up Bihu on the ground and said with concern, "Are you okay?"

Bihu glanced at Chu Chunxi timidly, and lowered his head silently: "I'm fine......

Chu Chunxi covered his shoulders and complained aggrievedly: "Senior brother, she knows witchcraft! A finger on my shoulder snapped my arm off! You're still helping her!"

Cheng Hengchuan was still in front of Bihu: "From the beginning, you have spoken ill of Bihu girl, junior sister, now you teach me how to believe you?"

Chu Chunxi had no choice but to take his arm on his own: "Senior Sister and I really misjudged you!"

With that, he ran away.

Cheng Hengchuan raised his leg and went to chase after him, but remembering that he would be left alone when he walked Bihu, he still paused: "Senior sister has Qingyou skills, presumably there will be no danger, let's pack up and look for clues."

After the two simply cleaned up and ate, Cheng Hengchuan left a note on the table, and began to search the village with Bihu.

During the day, Peach Blossom Village was as lively and stable as they first came, and every household seemed to have no sorrow, and smiles were on everyone's faces. But what the strangers don't know is that they are experiencing haunted and restless days at night.

"Young man, let me tell you, this haunting has been a nightmare for three generations, if you can solve it, you are the great benefactor of our Peach Blossom Village!"

The melon seller looked to be seventy or eighty years old, but her speech was still clear, and she continued, "This ghost, playing the piano every night, makes us uncomfortable."

"Grandma, do you know any clues about ghosts?" Cheng Hengchuan squatted in front of the stall and asked.

"Ouch, what about this...... Wang Po thought for a while, and suddenly patted her head, "The old lady of the old Zhang family seems to have said that the person who died was a violinist, and he was very famous when I was a child. As long as he plays the piano, people from all over the country come to listen to it, and when he listens to a song, he will be haunted by dreams, and the aftermath will linger!"

After speaking, Grandma sighed: "Now why don't you stop the aftermath, I can recite how he plays these tunes when I sleep, I don't know if I listen to it for four days or five days, and I don't know if I listen to it for forty years or fifty years?"

Bihu sneered, she quickly covered her mouth, restrained her expression and asked, "Grandma, you are so far away from that tiled house, can you still hear the sound of playing the piano?"

Grandma Wang cut a honeydew melon with a knife: "The whole village can hear it. There is no source for this sound, and it is the same everywhere you go."

She cut the melon and handed it to Cheng Hengchuan, and gave another piece to Bihu: "If you really want to exorcise ghosts, you should ask the butcher shop Lao Xing's house, they are the first to discover the haunting, and they must know something we don't know."

Cheng Hengchuan politely rejected Wang Po's melon: "Grandma, this is what you used to sell for money, we can't accept it." Moreover, exorcism is the duty of Qingyou's disciples, and they should all be done. Thank you for the news, we're going to take our leave."

Asked a few villagers to inquire about the location of the original butcher shop owner Lao Xing's house, and the two arrived at the door of Xing's house without much twists and turns, Cheng Hengchuan knocked on the door, and the emaciated woman opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Come and ask Boss Xing about something." Cheng Hengchuan

replied.

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly closed the door: "We don't know anything, don't ask, let's go!"

Bihu quickly reached the door and stuffed half of his body into the door: "We are the exorcist faction Qingyoumen, and we are here to completely get rid of that piano ghost, don't be afraid, we are here to help you, and we won't say anything bad."

When the woman heard this, she was skeptical, and after examining them for a moment, she realized that she was really angry, and then she gave way: "Come in."

The courtyard of the Xing family is not much better than the ghost courtyard at night, the small courtyard is covered with cherry blossoms, a five or six-year-old child is running in the courtyard, the falling cherry blossoms are crushed into mud under the feet of the child, mixed with the land, quite a fairy dream falling into the dust.

Cheng Hengchuan retracted his gaze, said "thank you" and entered the house. A small man in the room was cutting meat, and when he saw the two of them, he looked panicked, threw down the knife and spread his legs and ran to the backyard.

The woman shouted, "Don't be nervous, it's a stranger, come to your aid!"

The man stopped, hesitating and not daring to look back, "Are you really here to help us?" It was useless to invite many Taoist priests before, now don't be deceived again!"

Cheng Hengchuan walked over and took out the money sword to show the man: "In Xia is a disciple of the Qingyou Sect, this is the sect's exclusive money sword, which can drive away ghosts and suppress evil spirits, Boss Xing can rest assured."

The man looked at the sword and then at Cheng Hengchuan's righteous face, not like a person who stole chickens and dogs, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed and cried: "Hurry up and drive that ghost away, our family is going to force him to death!"

Bihu followed Cheng Hengchuan and was startled by Boss Xing's voice. She was most annoyed by the wolf howl, and she lifted him up vigorously: "Don't cry, tell us what is going on."

Boss Xing said yes again and again, and after returning to the front room to calm down, he said: "When Grandpa, no one raised livestock in Taohua Village, and they all ate the stinky meat that Liu's hawker carried back from outside. He didn't know where to bring back some pigs, and they had been put away for a few days, and they were still very expensive. Grandpa couldn't stand it, so he found his own way and bought fresh meat to sell, which was especially welcomed by the villagers.

In order to make the meat fresher, Grandpa built a circle and raised some pig seedlings by himself, hoping that the villagers would eat freshly killed pork."

As he spoke, he became emotional, "I think it's that Liu peddler who is jealous of our family's money, so he cursed us! Grandpa suddenly heard the sound of the piano in the pigsty one night, and he thought it was the famous luthier playing the piano at night, but he didn't expect to go out to see that there was no one outside, only the sound of the piano echoed for a long time.

My grandfather ran away and came home and couldn't sleep until dawn when the sound of the piano disappeared. Originally, the sound of the piano could only be heard in the butcher's shop, but then somehow it happened, the neighbors in the neighborhood also heard it, and they shouted that it was a haunted in my shop, and asked us to ask a Taoist priest to do it.

The Taoist priest also invited us, and the Fa was also done, but the sound of the piano not only did not stop, but also spread farther and farther, and now the whole village can hear it, everyone can't sleep every day and night, and almost every household is scolding us, saying that my Xing family has created sins, and the whole village has suffered."

The woman also helped, "Yes, in fact, my grandfather and father-in-law are honest people, they run the butcher shop diligently, but I didn't expect to be abused by the whole village because of this incident, and they are really wronged."

Cheng Hengchuan nodded and asked, "Who is the piano master, do you know the two?"

Boss Xing's eyes dodged, and he hesitated: "We only know that he is a famous person, what is the specific name, grandpa has already gone, and I have nowhere to ask......

The clue seemed to be broken here, and Cheng Hengchuan asked unremittingly: "Since the piano master is so famous, does he have some apprentices, or is there any descendant of him in the village?"

The woman thought for a moment and said, "There are no descendants, and the apprentices have not heard of it, but it is rumored that there is a small courtyard far away from the west end of the village, where the violinist used to live."

Cheng Hengchuan got up and said, "Thank you two, I'll investigate later, please stay."

Boss Xing and his wife sent them to the door, and they didn't forget to see them for a long time: "You must drive the ghost away!"

On the way, Cheng Hengchuan analyzed the current clues to Bihu. On the other side, Linghua, who watched the two of them through the mirror, was also divided

"According to what Boss Xing said, I am afraid that ordinary law matters will have no effect on this ghost, but his strength has been increasing over the years, and he is a ghost who has a deep practice."

Heng Gu paced behind Linghua: "Since he has a deep path, but he doesn't hurt people when he appears, he just plays the piano at night, what does he want to do?"

"Maybe he just likes to play the piano, and even if he becomes a ghost, he wants to bring the sound of the piano to his parents and fellow villagers?" Ning Suhe recalled the sound of the piano last night, "The music he played was particularly beautiful, and he deserved to be a well-known pianist."

"I don't think so." Heng Gu pursed his lips disdainfully, "This luthier used the sound of the piano to lead Cheng Hengchuan and them over, and then showed them something?"

As soon as Ning Suhe was about to open his mouth, Heng Gu replied to himself, "A homicide, and a homicide case in which he himself was killed."

Linghua tugged at Heng Gu's sleeve, and he obediently sat down beside Linghua without saying a word.

"If it is an ordinary ghost, it is to attract people with music to kill people or spirits, but the luthier attracts people to show the process of being killed." Linghua's eyebrows jumped, "He's not like an ordinary ghost, but like he's using this method to convey certain information."

"Boss Xing has something to hide." Cheng Hengchuan and Bihu in the mirror said, "When I asked about the identity of the violinist, he obviously avoided my eyes, and his tone was completely different from when he begged me to help him before. Presumably he knew something about the luthier, but he didn't tell us."

Bihu let out an "ah" in surprise, crossed his waist and was about to walk back: "I'll go back to him and ask him clearly, why did he lie!"

Cheng Hengchuan stopped her: "Presumably he has something unspeakable, we might as well find evidence and go back and ask him, so that we can know where he lied and where he didn't."

"Oh~ I see, it's okay like this." Bihu suddenly realized, and looked at him with a smart glimmer in his eyes, "You are so smart, just do what you say!"

Cheng Hengchuan touched the back of his neck: "It's just that I have experienced more, and I'm not smart."

The two of them traveled very quickly, and soon arrived at the remote courtyard that Mrs. Xing said, but nearly a hundred years have passed, and no one cares about it here, and it has become a pile of collapsed broken wood in the grass in the sun and rain.

"There's nothing left." Bihu rummaged in the grass pile, "I thought the small courtyard was still like that last night, but it has fallen into this shape, I don't know if the ghost will feel distressed when he sees it."

"Time is cruel, he'll understand." Cheng Hengchuan comforted a few words, and then sighed, "Now that the clues are completely broken, let's go back to the village and inquire again, even if one or two people don't know, there will always be a few people in the village who will know some clues."

The two of them had already walked a few steps away, and a middle-aged man walked out from behind a big tree behind the courtyard, and he looked at the figures of the two in the distance, and smiled comfortably.
