This scene surprised Zhang Tinglai.

"What the hell is ...... What's going on? ……”

He was puzzled.

So, he asked the guy in front of him dressed as a ranger cautiously.

That's right.

At this moment, what appeared in front of Zhang Tinglai was Niu Yuanping, who had traveled here.

Since leaving Ten Scenic Cities, he has traveled for several months and arrived here.

Not long ago, with the ability of the superbrain system, he sensed the existence of an anomaly here.

The Zhang Tinglai in front of him was a civilian trapped by the anomaly here.

So he took action and solved the demon.

Now.

Faced with Zhang Tinglai's inquiry, Niu Yuanping stood up and looked up at the top of a tree.

Responded, "It's the one that's doing the trick."

While watching, Niu Yuanping said lightly, "You have entered the illusion it made. ”

When Zhang Tinglai heard this, he followed the line of sight he was looking at, and also looked up.

But it didn't matter what he looked at.

When he saw the thing on the tree clearly, he exclaimed in fright.

"Oh my god!! ——”

Zhang Tinglai was instantly shocked into a cold sweat!

I saw that on the branch of the tree, there was something hanging there, accompanied by some vines, hanging quietly!

But it's a skull, draped in clothes and wrapped around greenery!

I don't know how long I've been dead......

Zhang Tinglai couldn't help but hide backwards.

His face was already pale.

He asked Niu Yuanping in a trembling voice, "You mean!" …… I was teased by this skeleton?! ……”

Niu Yuanping still raised his head and stared at the skeleton hanging from the trunk, and responded lightly, "Not bad...... It's a corpse! …… This person must have harbored resentment before his death, so after death, the resentment will not dissipate, and it will be difficult for the soul to fall into the realm of reincarnation, and it will become a charm here. ”

Then, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhang Tinglai, who was sitting on the ground, "The corpse ghost turned the injustice of his life into an illusion, so that the people who fell into it can empathize!" It uses it to take revenge on the world and murder the living. ”

When Zhang Ting heard this, he gradually became abrupt.

"I see! …… The illusion I just entered is what happened to this person in my life......"

He was thoughtful.

After a long time, Zhang Tinglai stood up and looked again at the white skeleton hanging between the trees.

His eyes sparkled.

He whispered, "Want to come...... You have been scammed, lost your money, and ended up in jail...... After despair, he returned home without face...... So full of resentment, I ended myself here......"

He seemed to be talking to the skeleton, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

Niu Yuanping thought that Zhang Tinglai was still frightened, so he comforted, "You don't have to be afraid, this corpse has been destroyed by me, and I can't hurt people anymore."

Zhang Tinglai was stunned when he heard this.

"Extinguished? ......" he sighed as he gazed at the skeleton, "what a wretched man...... Being deceived in life and ...... after death and destroyed......"

When Niu Yuanping heard this, he smiled, "If this corpse ghost has been here, it will definitely hurt people's lives again." If you don't kill it, it will definitely bring disaster to the world! If I hadn't saved you, you would have been drained of your soul power by the corpse ghost in the illusion, and instead of it, you would become a hanging skeleton on this tree. ”

When Zhang Tinglai heard this, he immediately fought a cold war.

It's sinister indeed......

If people don't know it, the ghost dies here unconsciously...... The wife and children at home have nothing to rely on!

Thinking like this, Zhang Tinglai was grateful to Niu Yuanping.

He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you for saving me!"

Niu Yuanping approached and helped him up, "No thanks, this is your creation, and it happened to let me pass by here."

Zhang Tinglai got up and raised his face to look at the mysterious figure wearing a hat in front of him.

Niu Yuanping's face was covered in the shadow of the hat at the moment, and he couldn't see the face clearly.

Zhang Tinglai asked cautiously, "Are you a demon slayer?" ……”

The reputation of demon slaying has long been spread among civilians, so Zhang Tinglai is no stranger to that kind of character.

Know that they specialize in dealing with some strange and strange monsters.

Niu Yuanping smiled slightly, "It's okay...... It's just that I'm just passing through here on a secret mission! …… So, don't want to reveal your whereabouts! If you see anyone else, don't say you've seen me! ”

Zhang Tinglai heard the words and nodded again and again.

"Understood! Got it! I will never divulge Eun-gong's whereabouts! ”

He knew that demon slayers were always mysterious.

It is also common to carry out secret missions without wanting to reveal your whereabouts.

Niu Yuanping was very satisfied with his reaction.

Originally, he traveled around the world as a ranger and bounty hunter, and he didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, especially if he didn't want to attract too much attention from the demon slayers.

It is great to be able to do it without revealing your whereabouts and identity.

"Go home quickly, this place is not suitable for long."

Niu Yuanping persuaded Zhang Tinglai.

However, after hearing this, Zhang Tinglai looked at the skull hanging from the trunk again.

He hesitated.

After a long time, it seems that I have made up my mind.

"I want to go to the Yamen...... Report what happened to this person! I hope that guy who set up the scam will be brought to justice! Give this person justice! ”

Hearing this, Niu Yuanping's eyes flashed.

He didn't expect that the civilian in front of him was quite warm-hearted.

So, he nodded, "It's okay...... I'll send you out of the mountains, and I'll help you into the city. ”

After that, Niu Yuanping grabbed Zhang Tinglai and flew into the sky.

Zhang Tinglai was taken aback.

From birth to the present, he has always stepped on the ground, but he has experienced the feeling of flying in the sky!

But for Niu Yuanping, who has advanced to the fourth-order demon slayer, it has long been a worthless insect carving skill.

At this moment, he didn't wait for Zhang Ting to react.

Niu Yuanping had already taken him to the ground.

And in the distance in the sunset, the outline of the gate of Tasawa Castle appeared.

That's fast enough!

"I'll have to keep going, so I'll have to get you here."

Zhang Tinglai hurriedly thanked, "Thank you so much!" Thank you so much! ……”

But when he raised his head again, Niu Yuanping's figure was already far away.

The back faded away, leaving a voice behind a word.

"Remember your promise not to reveal my whereabouts, so that you can do it yourself."

Though the man is far away, the voice is as if it were spoken in the ear!

Zhang Tinglai hurriedly knelt down in the direction where Niu Yuanping was walking, and said softly, "Don't worry!" ……”

After speaking, he prostrated himself.

Then he got up and walked into Tasawa City.

There was no delay.

Go straight to the Yamen Mansion of Tasawa City.

Soon, the official of the yamen was promoted to the court and asked Zhang Tinglai, "What do you want to report?" ”

Zhang Tinglai replied respectfully, "When I passed through Wanling, I saw a skeleton hanging from a tree trunk!" In a panic, faint in fright! In its sleep, it seems to have a great grievance when it is dreamed by the bones. ”

The official was immediately interested.

"What kind of dreams do you have, what grievances do you have?"

"The owner of the skeleton was deceived before his death, and was framed for eating the overlord's meal, so he was imprisoned...... In the end, he wrote a letter to his family, smashed the pot and sold iron to raise twenty taels of silver for food, so that he could be free! In grief, he hanged himself in Wanling...... Die unjustly! ”

Zhang Tinglai bowed deeply to the yamen official, "Please help you investigate and arrest the liar!" Return the poor man who was wronged, a justice! ”

When the yamen official heard this, he nodded silently, and after a long time, he praised, "It is really rare that you are not related to the owner of the bones, but you can have such thoughts......

He sighed, "It's just...... There isn't much evidence...... It's too reluctant to start an investigation just by relying on a dream......"

Zhang Tinglai hurriedly knelt on the ground, "My lord, I remember everything in the dream!" Remember what the liar looked like! ”

"Oh?" The yamen's eyes lit up, "That's easy......"

Thereupon.

Zhang Tinglai drew an image of the liar he saw in the illusion.

According to his confession, the yamen official found the location of the hotel and summoned the hotel owner and the shopkeeper, while asking the yamen to go to Wanling to retrieve the bones.

Such a survey.

I found out that it happened five years ago!

The owner of the hotel did sue the yamen because of a person who ate twenty taels of silver overlord meal.

That poor man, named Fu Chuansuo.

At that time, the defendant ate the overlord meal and stayed in prison for several months, until his family scraped together the food money of 20 taels of silver, and then returned his free ......

So the yacha hurriedly went to Fu Chuansuo's ancestral home and sent the relics on the bones to his family for identification.

Sure enough, it's Fu Chuan's lock!

It turned out that five years ago, after Fu Chuan was locked out of the prison door, he never returned home, and he was never heard from.

His wife could not wait for her husband to return, and she was too poor to eat, so she was disheartened and had to remarry.

Unexpectedly, when I got the news of Fu Chuansuo again, it turned out to be five years later.

but man has been turned into bones......

After the yamen official knew the ins and outs, he completely believed Zhang Tinglai's dream theory.

So he set out to arrest the liar again.

With a portrait, it's natural to be able to catch it!

Finally caught the liar who killed Fu Chuansuo.

plus the identification of the hotel owner and the shopkeeper, as well as Zhang Tinglai's dream.

The liar confessed.

The case is solved.

In order to thank Zhang Tinglai, the yamen rewarded him with fifty taels of silver, and sent a carriage to send him back to Daxiao Town.

When his wife and children saw Zhang Tinglai coming home, they hurriedly hugged him and cried bitterly.

"Why haven't you heard from you for three months? We're scared! ”

Listening to his wife's words, Zhang Tinglai was surprised.

He clearly remembered that he had only been away for less than ten days......
