Chapter 21: Spiritualized Demon

"Who am I?"

The girl's body seemed to tremble.

In her eyes, she seemed to be a little flustered, and her tone became hesitant, and it took a long time before she replied timidly: "I, I, I'm Yun Niang." ”

Zhang Jingxu smiled slightly, and said unexpectedly: "I didn't ask your name, I asked about your origin." Girl, if you don't hear clearly, then Zhang can ask again. ”

In front of everyone's eyes, everyone noticed that the girl's body trembled again.

Li San was shrewd and intelligent, and immediately cooperated with Zhang Jingxu's temptation, pretending to shout: "It's you who harms people, you are the evil ghost!" ”

"No, it's not......"

Yun Niang exclaimed, her little face turned white with fright.

Li San relied on Zhang Jing's weak support, and the fox and the fake tiger continued to drink, and said fiercely: "Do you really think we didn't see it?" Actually, you're not a normal person either! The little scholar is a ghost, and you appear in his house...... So, you're a ghost too! ”

This is a means for people in the public door, whether it is true or not, knock on the mountain and shock the tiger first, and even deliberately put on a big hat to observe and test the suspect.

Those who are good at do what they are good at.

This has always been Zhang Jingxu's code of conduct, so he will bring the officials to investigate the case.

For example, when targeting the little scholar before, Zhang Jingxu asked Li San to test it, while he observed from the sidelines and cooperated with each other tacitly.

But this time it was very strange, Zhang Jingxu didn't seem to intend to do so, and even waved his hand to Li San, signaling Li San to step back first and not get involved.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jingxu looked at Yun Niang again, as if she wanted to speak and stopped, and seemed to feel a lot of emotion.

Suddenly, he sighed slightly, opened his mouth with deep meaning, and said leisurely: "Scholars read at night, and spirits and demons come to accompany them, and if the mortals in this world are poured into the world, then they will gradually be contaminated with spirituality and be able to turn into demons, called spirit demons, and they are naturally very kind......"

"Miss Yun Niang, you are such a spirit demon, right?"

Zhang Jingxu said, sighed slightly, and continued: "Actually, whether you answer or not, I have already guessed your identity. ”

"When you told the story of the little scholar, you inadvertently revealed your origins."

"At that time, you told us that although he studied hard, he didn't really like to read, and what he really liked to do was a carving craft......"

Zhang Jingxu said this, his eyes showed a touch of softness, he looked at the cramped and panicked Yun Niang, and smiled warmly: "Yun Niang girl, why don't you let me tell you your story." ”

"That year, a little scholar carved a girl!"

Maybe it's because his family is poor and thinks that he is too poor to marry a wife, or maybe it's because he yearns for it when he was studying, so he wants to show all his good thoughts about the fair girl...... In short, no matter what the reason, he put his heart and soul into carving the girl. ”

"The material of this statue of the girl is an ordinary piece of tofu."

"She was formed by the beautiful yearning of the scholar, and was poured into the effort of the scholar, and in the days that followed, she placed it on the desk every night to accompany the scholar."

"Every night, the scholars are studying hard."

"Although his family is poor, he is self-motivated, and a person who is self-motivated will breed aura when he is studying."

This kind of aura is not the aura of heaven and earth, but the aura of the scholar himself. We often say that learning makes people have gods, and this god does not refer to the gods, but to the charm of the scholars themselves. ”

"The little scholar reads hard, both beautiful and charming, and when he reads every night, the tofu statue that accompanies him will be contaminated with aura. Over the years, the statue has gradually developed a spiritual ......"

"Finally, one day, she turned into a demon."

"Because of all the beautiful yearning of scholars, she is contaminated with the aura and charm of scholars, so she is born to be good, and she is a rare good demon."

From then on, the poor scholars had something to rely on. When I was working, I had someone to help, and when I was studying, I was accompanied by red sleeves. ”

"He is becoming more and more confident and ready to participate in the imperial examination."

However, it is a pity that nine times out of ten, things in life do not go well. Just when the little scholar was full of faith, he was beaten to death in this well......"

"Obsession is unwilling, turn into a ghost!"

"But because he was too kind to take revenge on the people in the village, he chose to forget when he turned into a ghost."

"He doesn't remember being beaten to death and thinks he's still a human being."

"He's still motivated and hungry for a bright future. After he succeeds in the imperial examination, he wants to change the lives of poor villagers. ”

"However, it is a pity that there is a change in the village!"

"For five days in a row, one new person died every day. However, after the yamen sent them to conduct an inspection, they determined that all of these people had died normally......"

"But how can this be a normal death!"

"No matter how coincidental it is, it can't be dead for five days in a row, right? Moreover, these five dead men were all strong men, and they were said to be the strongest men in the village......"

"So, it's doubtful."

"In addition, the officials told me that they had found something unusual, and that there were traces of tofu in the mouths of these dead people, and it was obvious that they had all experienced the same thing before they died......

"They all ate tofu before they died!"

When Zhang Jingxu said this, he suddenly sighed meaningfully and said, "It is not surprising that one person died, and it is not strange that two people died." But five people died in a row, and everyone ate tofu, which is no longer normal, and this is the art of harming people. ”

"From this, I thought that when I was at the little scholar's house, the moment you appeared next to the desk, there was a bowl of steaming tofu on the desk......"

"We had been in the house for a while, and the servants had already searched the house, and with the shrewdness of those of them who were in the house, it was impossible to ignore a steaming bowl of tofu......"

"But why didn't they pay attention to this bowl of tofu in the first place?"

"The reason is very simple, just because this bowl of tofu appeared out of thin air!"

"And the time when this bowl of tofu appeared out of thin air was precisely the moment when Yun Niang thought about you and appeared......"

Zhang Jingxu's tirade continued to gush, and finally his gaze stopped, and his gaze looked at the girl in front of him again.

"Miss Yun Niang, you're hurting people, aren't you?"

"Although you are a naturally kind spirit demon, although you are transformed by the spirit of the little scholar, but when you see the little scholar die unjustly, especially by the people who want to save the suffering......"

"You're angry, you're getting revenge!"

Zhang Jingxu almost uttered his conclusion.

At this time, Yun Niang seemed to have a sad smile on her face, and she didn't make any arguments, but sighed softly and said sadly: "It's me, everything is me." The five people in the village were all killed by me. ”

The officials present were dumbfounded, and they all felt incredible.

Immediately, they all looked at Zhang Jingxu with adoration, and their eyes burned to Zhang Jingxu, with such a shrewd and capable leader, why should everyone worry about not being able to get ahead in the future?

However, to the surprise of the leaders, Zhang Jingxu's face did not seem to be happy, but frowned slightly, as if he was pondering something.

After a long while, Zhang Jingxu spoke again, and said slowly: "Now there is still a little doubt, so that Zhang feels that this matter is still hidden, Yun Niang girl, you are just a spirit demon, it is said that it is impossible to harm people's ability......"

"So, can you tell me what means you used to harm people, and how you made the villagers obey obediently."

After asking this question, Yun Niang didn't seem to hesitate, although her face was still sad, but she seemed to deliberately let out a sneer:

"Do you need the means to harm others? How stupid those villagers were! ”

"I just need to call out my brother softly and weakly, and they will obediently eat tofu......"

"Sir, kill me. At this point, the case is closed, is it okay to let go of Brother Sun Yun? ”

However, Zhang Jingxu's face sank, and his eyes were blazing: "No, you are lying." A spirit demon like you is transformed by kindness, even if you are bent on harming others, you have no ability to harm others......"

"For example, why can the tofu eaten by the villagers kill them? If this tofu is made by you, it will only contain the aura of the spirit demon. Not only will it not harm others, but it will benefit others. ”

Therefore, Zhang deduced that the tofu eaten by the villagers did not come from you. And even if you really hurt the villagers, you are not alone...... You're just a good spirit, and you weren't born with that ability. ”

"So, Miss Yun Niang, can you tell me honestly, who is hiding in the shadows to help you harm people?"

The officials present were all dumbfounded.

They just thought that this matter could finally be closed, but after listening to Zhang Jingxu's speculation, they suddenly felt that this matter was still confusing.

If Miss Yun Niang doesn't have the power to harm people, then who is helping her kill the villagers?

Could it be that there is another evil ghost in this Sun Jiazhuang......
