"So, you're all in the same state when you see that ghost." A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuan said slowly.

The women nodded.

"The body can't move, the mouth can't speak, only the eyes can be opened and closed?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Hmm!" The women nodded heavily at the same time.

"Ghost press." Gu Ming glanced at Chen Yuan and nodded.

"What does it look like?" Daiji asked.

"Then who dares to take a closer look! As soon as I saw it, I immediately closed my eyes and didn't dare to open them again. The bold maidservant said.

"Gotta stay closed until dawn! That time, I didn't move for a long time, and I was able to move my hands and feet. I wondered if I was dazzled, and my eyes slowly opened a slit, and it stood on the edge of the bed. Another servant said.

"Yours is fine, standing by the bed. Mine was directly on top of me, face to face, and I could feel its hair sweeping against the tip of my nose. Another maidservant trembled and wept as she spoke.

"The ghost still has hair?" Dai Er was surprised.

"Yes, it's going to be long." The maidservant said.

"It's still a female ghost...... "Daiji touched his chin and pondered something.

"Then why do you all eat and live in this wood house?" Chen Yuan asked.

"We've lived in all the rooms, but this one doesn't hear ghosts in the middle of the night, and we don't see ghosts." A maid trembled and said, as if she remembered something terrible.

"Can you see ghosts in other houses?" Dai Er was surprised.

"I could see it, but I didn't come in, I stood at the door, and the moon beat its shadow on the door, and I stood all night, and I didn't leave until it was almost dawn." The other girl trembled when she talked about it.

"You've been living together since you were locked up here?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Well, even if one person wants to go to the hut, we will go together." The maidservant said.

"Has anyone ever been crushed since you lived together?" Chen Yuan asked again.

"No, I only saw ghosts, and I didn't enter the door, but I just stood at the door, not moving." The maidservant said.

"You don't have the courage to go over and have a look, there are a lot of you anyway." Generations of the second way.

"Who dares! We hugged each other and didn't even dare to sleep, so we just watched it leave. The handmaid said.

"You said you could still hear the ghost?" Chen Yuan asked again.

"Yes, I can hear you." The women nodded.

"What do you call a ghost?" Chen Yuan asked.

"It's just—I can't learn it, but it's very long, and people's anger can't be so long, it's very hoarse, it's miserable." The maidservant spoke, and began to tremble again.

"Then you say, if we lived in another house, would we have seen it?" Dai Er asked the maidservants.

"Maybe you really can't see it, after the haunting, the prince brought a lot of soldiers in, and every house was full of people, and after living for more than half a month, the ghost shadow was not seen, so he evacuated." A servant girl said in the middle of the night.

"You men are yang, and they may be afraid of you." She added.

"Since ghosts are afraid of men, then which of you will lead the way and take us to explore those haunted houses, and we will choose one to stay in tonight." Daiji said with a smile.

The maidservants shook their heads, none of them dared to answer, and they all stared at Daiji in horror, as if they had seen his tragic death.

"Okay, look at what scared you, and I didn't let you go live with us." Generations of the second way.

"You, you think beautifully......" said a maidservant.

Dai Er couldn't help but pout, and said in his heart where did this old sister-in-law go, and she didn't look at her own appearance, maybe she didn't look good. Chen Yuan and Gu Ming both smiled.

"Hey, yes, I almost forgot to ask, who of you is Li Niang?" Chen Yuan suddenly remembered and asked.

"We, we don't have Li Niang here." A maid said.

"Huh? Isn't Li Niang also in this courtyard? Chen Yuan was surprised.

"Yes, but not with us." The maid said.

"And where does she live?" Chen Yuan asked.

"There are so many rooms, and we don't know which one she lives in." The maid replied.

"Why don't you come with her?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Who wants to be with her, which sister in this has not been bullied by her, and now she is still crazy, who will take care of her?" The bold maid replied.

"Then if she lives in another house, won't she be scared to death by ghosts every day." Gu Ming said.

"I should have been frightened, and I heard her screaming and running all over the yard every once in a while." A maid said, and smiled after speaking.

"You are so gloating, aren't you afraid that after she is killed by a ghost, she will also become a ghost and come to you?" Dai Er bared his teeth and said gloomily.

"Ahh ——" The screams of the women overshadowed the first time they met, and Chen Yuan's second neck was a slap.

"Two round earthen buns, planted with a peach tree, and the house facing each other is here." Gu Ming looked at the small courtyard in front of him and said in a low voice.

"This Li Niang will choose a place, peach wood to ward off evil spirits, no wonder she is not afraid to live alone." Daiji chewed a twig in his mouth and said.

"It's a fart, it's not like you're screaming and running all over the yard every once in a while." Gu Ming said.

"You know a fart, if it weren't for the peach trees in this courtyard, it wouldn't be every day." Generations of the second way.

"Ahh —" As the two of them talked, a terrible scream pierced the eerie silence of the courtyard.

A woman with a disheveled hair broke out of the door, ran madly and tripped over her dress, and slammed on the ground, not caring about the pain or the ashes on her forehead, she got up and took a few steps into the peach forest. Like a young monkey holding a mother monkey, he hugged a tree, looked back at the room she had just run out of and the open door, and kept saying, "Don't come, I'm not afraid of you, don't come, I'm not afraid of you!" As he spoke, he shook his head with trembling, his messy hair and sweat sticking to his head and cheeks, and his eyes were full of fear.

Chen Yuan suddenly burst into the door like a crossbow arrow shot by the palace guard, and in a breath he had swept every corner of the room, but there was nothing. Gu Ming and Dai Er also entered the door at this moment and asked, "What?" ”

"Nothing." Tatsu Yuandao.

The three of them came out and also walked into the peach forest, and Li Niang lowered her head, trembling and still muttering that sentence. Chen Yuan stood still in front of her and shouted, "Li Niang." ”

But seeing Li Niang slowly raise her head buried in her armpits, she just raised it a little, and she could just see the tips of Chenyuan's shoes, so she let out a terrible scream of "ah" and passed out.

"That's good! I finally met someone who always sees the hell, and I fainted before I even asked. "Dai Erdao.

"No need to ask, let's go." Chen Yuan said with a smile, and then looked around at the wall of the courtyard.

"That's what you call warding off evil spirits?" Gu Ming said with a smile.

"Hmmm! If it weren't for these peach trees, she would have died there directly, but it wasn't as simple as fainting. Dai Er nodded heavily.

"Your ancestor is not a sedan chair man, he specializes in lifting bars for people." Gu Ming said angrily.

"No, it's specially for carrying the coffin, and I don't charge any money when the people of Lone Peak lie inside." Dai Erzui is not forgiving.

The two of them fell on the walls on both sides of Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan heard the two of them arguing, and said with a smile: "The premise of warding off evil is that there must be evil, if there is no evil, what to dispel." ”

Gu Ming and the others looked at Chen Yuan, not knowing why.

"There is only one place in the world where there is a ghost, and it is in the heart of man." Tatsu Yuandao.

"We came here because we firmly believed that there were no ghosts, didn't we? If you believe that there are ghosts, do you dare to look for them? Chen Yuan asked again.

"If there are no ghosts, what have we been doing for the past half a day? Running to see those old sisters-in-law? There's a crazy woman here. Daiji scoffed.

"It's for the ghosts to come to us." Chen Yuan squinted and smiled, it was already dusk, and it looked particularly crazy in the sunset. After that, he jumped into the palace again, and he was out of the high wall of the Qiuhuai Courtyard.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the courtyards of the palace are still very noisy, especially the four corners of the mansion, which are the courtyards where the soldiers live. It was in full swing at the moment, drinking, talking, singing, drinking, tearing around the fire and roasting whole sheep, wrestling and cheering...... The bustle was far greater than that of a daytime bazaar, and it was hard to imagine that a place not far from it could become desolate and dead by haunting.

"I said, why don't we push the princess there? How nice it would be to go here and take a bite of it! Daiji looked at this scene, and his greedy saliva soaked through his beard.

"Pushed...... Not really. "Chen Yuan is embarrassed.

"But you don't have to." Chen Yuan then said.

"Really?" Daiji's eyes lit up.

"What's not to do?" Chen Yuan smiled, "Actually, I just went alone, saying that I prepared wine and food as a reward, but in fact, I just wanted to ask if there were any clues." What is the difference between going to one mouth and going to several more mouths? ”

"Alright, you two go! I'm here to eat and drink! With that, he ran to the campfire.

"This rammer ......" Gu Ming looked at Dai Er, who had become excited in the group of soldiers in the distance, and scolded with a smile.

"What about you? Do you want to go to eat roast sheep with your uncle, or go to the banquet of this palace? Chen Yuan touched Taimo's head and asked.

"I'll go with the master, and I'll go wherever the master goes." Taimo Road.

"Then let's go, let's go and see what feast the princess has prepared for us." Chen Yuan smiled at Gu Mingdao.

"A few people came from afar, they were honored guests in my house, but there have been a lot of affairs in the past few days, and the hospitality is not good, and I hope that a few Haihan." The princess was very polite.

"Madam, I'm a friend of the little prince, how embarrassed to bother the elders to entertain." Tatsu Yuandao.

The princess was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "Yesterday you waited for a guest, I heard that you were drinking dry, and you didn't even wipe the wine, I came to entertain a few of my rude children, and secondly, to thank a few people for their hard work to find my poor children." ”

"Madame is serious again, it's still the same sentence, we are friends of the little prince, and since we are friends, we will take care of ourselves." Chen Yuan said again.

"These three are my reparations to you on behalf of those rude soldiers, I don't know which one had a conflict with Xiao'er on the street yesterday." The princess asked.

"Madame, you don't have to, that guy is also a rude man, and he happened not to come with us." Tatsu Yuandao.

"Oh? But are you still angry? The princess said.

"Not really, he went and asked among the soldiers to see if he could find any clues." Chen Yuan made a pretense.

"Look at it, it's wrong that people don't say it, and they still do their best. I said at the beginning that it must have nothing to do with you, those rude men didn't say that the man had a conflict with Yun'er yesterday, he must have done something to Yun'er. The princess sighed.

"Then when you go back later, you must bring my apologies." The princess said.

"Yes, ma'am." Chen Yuan arched his hand.

"Whatever the fate of my poor boy may be, he cannot wronged the innocent." The princess said silently and bowed her head.

Chen Yuan wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak. It's not his own child who is lost, no matter how comforted he is at the moment, he doesn't seem to have a backache when he stands and talks.

"Is this dinner still an entrance today?" The princess also found that everyone was in awkward silence and asked with a forced smile.

"It's so rich that I'm ashamed." Tatsu Yuandao.

"Why?" The princess asked.

"The little prince has not been seen so far, and I have been waiting for nothing all day, but I have the cheekiness to enjoy such delicacies." Tatsu Yuandao.

"Hey! Don't force it, I don't blame you if I can't find it, it's beyond human power. The princess's eyes turned red as she spoke.

"Madame, excuse the offense." Chen Yuan suddenly stood up and said.

"The theory of ghosts and gods is really nonsense, if the ghosts and gods can capture a big living person without a trace, why do you need so many soldiers on the border over there? There are so many heroic souls who have died in battle in all dynasties, can aliens offend me? "Chen Yuandao.

"Shut up! Don't babble! The princess changed color suddenly.

"You can not believe it, but you can't be disrespectful." The princess said again.

"I don't even believe in it, how can I respect it? There is a god in the Western Regions called 'King of the Lower Earth', and the believers all say that every porridge and meal are given by this god, otherwise they will starve to death and freeze to death. Before every meal, believers have to say something at the table to thank the gods for their food, how do you say that these believers are different from livestock? They don't know that every meal when they were young was the hard work of their parents? They don't know that every bubble of they pull is the grain that farmers who have worked hard to cultivate with their backs to the loess facing the sky? This kind of cult has been introduced to our dynasty and there are actually a lot of believers, and they are not hiding it, and they are going south and north, and I have seen the statue of the 'King of the Earth' smashed one by one, and I have seen the temple demolished one by one. ”

"You...... Shut up! The princess trembled with anger, pointed at Chen Yuan and trembled.

"Madame's son is lost, someone must be troubled by it, Madame doesn't want to look for it with all her might, but she believes in the theory of ghosts and gods." Gu Ming, who hadn't spoken since he entered the door, said suddenly.

"If my son is lost, I will have to find it if I turn it upside down. Even if I was really caught by a ghost, I would immediately wipe my neck and turn into a ghost, find it, and kill him. Gu Ming's words were very slow, but extremely ruthless.

The princess seemed to be suppressed, and she seemed to be moved by this sentence, and suddenly broke down and cried: "I don't want to believe it, but I have really seen it!" Eye! Empty! The face is full of brains, and the hair is condensed into strands! Look at me face to face! I can't move! The princess finished almost every sentence screaming, and the servants present trembled with fright.

"Sometimes what you see isn't always true, ma'am." Chen Yuan said softly.

"Forget it, if you haven't seen it, you don't believe it, and I don't blame you. More than anyone else, I wish my baby wasn't taken by that thing! So if you don't believe it, you have to find Yun'er, I thank you for your trouble, no matter how much manpower and material resources you need, just ask the housekeeper to let me know. Just stop talking about that thing, it hears it and comes to me! I don't want to see it again! The princess sobbed, and the more she spoke, the more frightened she became.

Chen Yuan saw that the princess was emotional, and she was up and down, knowing that she couldn't ask anything more than she could ask for a reason. So he got up and said; "Thank you, madam, I'll retire first when I'm full of food and drink."

"I've worked hard for a few little friends, and I will definitely bring my apologies to your friend who didn't arrive. I know very well that Yun'er's affairs have nothing to do with him, and it is those soldiers who are rude during the day. Even if you don't find Yun'er, you can leave if you want to, and no one dares to stop you. If he is still upset, I apologize personally. The princess calmed down a little and said slowly.

The three of them walked out of the princess's courtyard, and Gu Ming asked, "How is Brother Yuan, have you found anything?" ”

"I didn't find anything, it was this princess, although I cried when I mentioned the little prince. But I don't feel worried at all, and I even feel like it doesn't matter if I can't find it. Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and said.

"Xu was frightened by the ghost, after all, she said that she saw it with her own eyes, and she looked so carefully, more carefully than any of the girls in the courtyard." Gu Ming said.

"Why do you think it's just women who can see it, but men can't?" Chen Yuan wondered, stood still and looked at Gu Ming and asked.

"Who knows, in short, it has nothing to do with whether the yang energy is heavy or not." Gu Ming said.

"What's so special about women......" Chen Yuan lowered his head and thought, his eyebrows were about to be bald.

"Bang." A muffled sound brought Chen Yuan, who was pondering, back to his senses, and Tai Mo lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, until he hit Chen Yuan's back and squatted down with his head covered.

"Ah, uncle, your back is so hard." Taimo rubbed his head and said.

"Haha! You kid, what kind of god are you running? Gu Ming was annoyed by Taimo's appearance.

"You should learn martial arts from your master, and when you have a strong qi to protect your body in the future, it will be so hard." Chen Yuan touched his little head and said.

"How long will it take?" Taimo yearns for authenticity.

"Running like you, those days are estimated to be long." Gu Ming said with a smile.

"I'm not running away, I'm thinking about things." Taimo said with a frown.

"What do you think?" Gu Ming asked.

"It's gone." Taimo said honestly, and the two couldn't cry or laugh.

"It just doesn't feel like it's right." Taimo scratched his head and said.

"The last time you saw the princess, you said the same." Tatsu Yuandao.

"Yes, but I just can't remember what didn't fit." Taimo Road.

"Last time I hit you and crashed, this time you hit me and crashed again." Chen Yuan smiled.

"What's not right?" Taimo still scratched his head.

"Is it the person who doesn't fit, or is something that doesn't fit?" Gu Ming asked.

"I can't say it, it's just a feeling." Taimo was a little anxious and increased his efforts to scratch his head.

"Alright, scratch the bald again." Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Go back and think slowly." ”
