Chapter 138: The Masters Help Us
In order to return to Xijing as soon as possible, on the way back, Jingchen and Gu Haoyin chose to ride horses.
The two of them ran all the way until it was dark, and then slowed down.
"Little junior sister, are we going to find a place to settle down tonight or just spend the night outside."
Ma Gu Haoyin, who had been running for a day, was already so hungry that her chest was close to her back, and she just wanted to find a place to take a hot bath and sleep beautifully.
"Find a place to stay, your body is about to fall apart."
"Then let's go further on."
The two continued to walk a few miles and didn't see another township, only saw a Zhuangzi not far away, and from a distance, they could see that there were sparks in the Zhuangzi, which should be inhabited.
"Let's see if we can go to that Zhuangzi and spend the night."
"Yes."
A quarter of an hour later, the two arrived outside Zhuangzi.
Jingchen turned over and knocked on the door immediately.
"Excuse me, anyone?"
It took a while before there was a sound of footsteps inside.
After a while, the door opened, and an old man with a pale face poked his head out.
Jingchen said politely: "Uncle, we are passing Taoist priests, I wonder if we can stay in your mansion for a night?" ”
The uncle was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and motioned for them to hurry up, "There was an accident here last night, so you better look elsewhere." ”
"Is there a place to stay around here?"
The uncle thought about it and shook his head, "It's gone, and the nearest town has to be twenty miles in the past." ”
Twenty miles, not to mention Gu Haoyin, Jingchen himself doesn't want to run.
"Uncle, we just need a little hot water and an empty room with a board bed."
The uncle saw that the two of them were silent for a while before he said, "It's not that I don't want you to stay overnight, but I'm afraid that I'll frighten you." ”
Gu Haoyin didn't think anything could scare her.
"Uncle, but it's okay to say."
The uncle sighed and lowered his voice and said: "A few days ago, the master of this Zhuangzi family said that they wanted to come here to play, but who knew that the people were gone in the middle of the night, and now the whole family is stopped here, and it will take seven days to stop before the funeral." ”
"Because the whole family is dead, and every relative comes to the vigil because they feel that they are dying strangely and afraid, and some distant relatives have spent some money for me to guard here, if you are not afraid, there will be two empty houses for you."
Jingchen exchanged a look with Gu Haoyin, and decided to stay here, they didn't want to run away anymore.
Seeing that they insisted on staying, the uncle did not persuade them again, and staggered to let them in.
As soon as they entered, the two of them felt a sense of yin energy.
Through the faint moonlight, you can also see the white cloth hanging on the porch, and with such a dark night, no matter how brave you are, you have to feel furious when you see it.
The uncle carried the lantern and led the two of them around the mourning hall.
When passing by the mourning hall, Gu Haoyin forgot to glance inside.
One two three four...... Seventy-eight, a total of eight coffins, a family of eight, that's really miserable.
I don't know if Gu Haoyin was wrong, but when she retracted her gaze, she seemed to see a coffin move.
She turned her eyes again, and there was no movement.
It may be that I am too tired after a day of travel, and I have hallucinations.
After the three of them walked in front of the mourning hall, the people in the coffin slowly sat up from the coffin, and looked in the direction they left with empty eyes.
The uncle took them to a small room next to the firewood house in the backyard.
"This place should have been for the people who did things before, there were bedding and everything, the stove room was on the side, if you want water, go to the stove room to burn it yourself, I will stay in the front yard, you don't go to the front if you have nothing to do, the big night is also weird and scary."
The two naturally responded.
After the uncle explained, he left, and there was only a dim kerosene lamp in the house.
Gu Haoyin yawned, "Senior brother, go boil some water." ”
"Senior brother will burn it for you."
Jingchen carried the oil lamp and walked to the stove not far away.
Gu Haoyin lay down on the bed casually, the conditions of the people in this family are not bad, and the quilt is quite warm.
Gu Haoyin lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
When she was sleeping deeply, she felt a cold breath approaching her, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed, and saw one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight straight figures standing outside the door.
The corners of Gu Haoyin's eyes twitched, this is obviously the family of eight lying in the coffin, is this a stiffen?
It's only been a long time, not yet.
They didn't move, they just stood straight and looked at Gu Haoyin, like that, it was a bit stupid.
Gu Haoyin's legs were crossed, his palms flipped over, and a fire burned in his palms.
"Now, give you a chance to speak, if you don't speak, I will burn your body and soul, how can anyone die and the soul is not willing to come out of the body, this is not in accordance with the rules."
After speaking, the rune paper in Gu Haoyin's hand flew and swept over their heads one by one.
After the rune paper flew, the family's eyes gradually became clearer, and they didn't look so terrifying.
The fire in Gu Haoyin's hand flicked off, and several flames flew out for lighting.
The middle-aged man led by him hesitated for a moment before he was the first to walk into the room and kneel down in front of Gu Haoyin.
"Please also ask the master to avenge my family."
Gu Haoyin raised her eyebrows lazily, "Say, what's going on?" ”
The middle-aged man began with a look of hatred: "Originally, our family happily went to Zhuangzi to play, but who knew that we suddenly died, so that we don't know how we died until now." ”
Gu Haoyin sat up straight, "Why don't you know how you died?" ”
"Yes, I don't know, our souls have always been in our bodies because we always felt that we were not dead at all."
"I also ask the master to help find out the cause of our death and find the person who murdered our family, so that we can blind our eyes and go to the underworld to reincarnate with peace of mind."
If the spirit body has obsession, it is easy to resent, and this kind of resentment is easy to turn into a powerful ghost when absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.
"Tell me what your last memory was before you died."
The man said, "It's just that the family eats, and after dinner, they go back to the house to rest, and they never wake up after that." ”
"Could it be that someone poisoned the food?" Gu Haoyin guessed.
The man shook his head, "I don't know, but there really wasn't anything abnormal at that time, and I asked the master to help us." ”
Gu Haoyin swept over the family of eight, the youngest one looked like he was only three or four years old, if he was really killed, this murderer was really ruthless, and no one was left.
"For the sake of me borrowing your Zhuangzi to settle down for one night, I will do this for you, but there is one thing, after figuring out the truth, I will be honest and reincarnated."
"Yes, definitely, definitely!"
