Chapter 9: Suspicions

It was already afternoon.

The white fox entered the mountain, and Yang Yi walked into the village where the down-and-out man was.

At the entrance of the village, Yang Yi found a stone tablet that had been erected, on which the words "Shiling Village" were written.

"Stone Ridge Village...... The name is so familiar, it seems to have been heard somewhere. ”

Yang Yi frowned and thought, but for a while, he couldn't think of it.

And after entering the village, Yang Yi didn't go far before he found a gazebo.

As soon as he saw this gazebo, Yang Yi patted his head.

Come to think of it!

Isn't this what Ning Yuan said, the village where Zhou Zhifu's family lives?

What a coincidence, I actually came to this village.

There is a small river at the mouth of this village, which meanders down the mountain, the water is clear and shallow, and there are fish swimming in the river.

Yang Yi came to the river and washed his face.

He looked at his own face reflected in the river, and suddenly felt strange in his heart.

These days, since I ran away from home, I have been running in the mountains and forests, trying to improve my muscles and bones. Although it is not as good as drinking blood, it is also a meal and sleeping in the open.

But why is this so, his face has not experienced the slightest color of wind and frost, and he is still white and handsome. The skin is not rough, and there is not even a trace of mud on the face.

Innocent?

Could this be a passive skill given to him by Goldfinger?

Then, looking at the reflection in the water, Yang Yi had to say that this skin bag was really good.

No wonder the white fox just now praised himself for being handsome several times.

If he had such a face in his previous life, he might be able to answer the question of "how active can girls be" on the Internet.

It's just that the coarse cloth clothes on my body are too shabby now.

If you can have a decent demeanor...... That's really a handsome boy.

After thinking for a while by the river, Yang Yi continued to hurry.

I hope to find a place to rest before dark.

It didn't take long for Yang Yi to discover a huge willow tree.

Now that he has seen this willow tree, the wine shop opened by Zhou Zhifu's parents has also arrived.

Sure enough, under the willow tree, there was a wine shop.

Yang Yi walked over to take a closer look, but was stunned.

Yang Yi only saw that the wine shop was surrounded by weeds and barren. And the wine shop is also dilapidated, and the wine flag planted in front of the door has only a flagpole left, and it seems that there is no trace of it.

What about the Zhou family?

Why is this wine shop so dilapidated?

Yang Yi was puzzled, and suddenly a farmer with a hoe came over at the entrance of the village, as if he had just returned from plowing the field.

Yang Yi hurriedly grabbed the farmer, pointed to the dilapidated wine shop and asked, "Dare to ask uncle, may I ask, where is the owner of this wine shop?

The farmer looked at Yang Yi's face and couldn't help but look at it a few more times. After a while, the farmer looked at Yang Yi and replied, "They're dead!"

"Dead?"

"yes! I've been dead for almost a year!"

Yang Yi had a bad premonition in his heart for a while.

"Then I want to ask Uncle again, how did they die? Also, it is said that he has a daughter in the family, does Uncle know where she is now?"

"Their daughter?" said the farmer, laying down his hoe and glancing at the dilapidated liquor store.

"Dead too!"

"What?" Yang Yi almost screamed when he heard this.

I couldn't help but think back to the girl dressed in plum blossoms who was still by Ning Yuan's side a few hours ago.

......... So who is she?

"That girl hanged!"

Seeing that Yang Yi didn't seem to believe it, the farmer said again.

Yang Yi was stunned for a while, and then asked, "Uncle, can you tell me what happened?"

The farmer thought for a moment and spoke.

"About a year ago, a young man from out of town came here, supposedly as a scholar who traveled around to study. When he came to our village, he said that this village was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and was full of aura, so he would live in this village for a while.

I never thought that this scholar was a disciple, a frivolous man, and he had a frivolous personality, and he actually hooked the daughter of the Zhou family.

The girl is not deeply involved in the world, and when she was hooked up with this frivolous person, she really moved her mind and had private meetings with her from time to time.

After a long time, after all, the paper can't hold the fire. Later, this matter was really known to Lao Zhou and his family.

The woman who has not left the cabinet actually has a private meeting with someone, which is a corrupt thing. Lao Zhou was furious at that time, so he beat his daughter and locked her in the house.

I didn't want the scholar to be a cowardly and fearful person, but when he saw that this matter was exposed, he didn't say a word and ran away. ”

"And then?"

"And then tragedy happened.

First of all, the little daughter of the Zhou family, who was beaten and scolded by her father, was abandoned by her lover, and was disheartened for a while, so she hanged herself in the house!

The old Zhou family has no son, just such a daughter, and he never thought about going like this. Seeing the girl hanging on the beam, Sister-in-law Zhou fainted at that time, and it didn't take long for her to go.

For a while, the two closest relatives passed away together, and Lao Zhou, even if he was an iron-clad man, couldn't accept it, so he bought some arsenic and followed.

A family of three, in just half a month, is gone. ”

The farmer sighed as he spoke.

Then he led Yang Yi to walk a few steps, pointing to a few tombs not far away.

"Well, that's the grave of their family of three. ”

Yang Yi looked at the three mounds and his face was cloudy.

And above the tomb, there was a small plum tree, which was in full bloom at this time, and the flowers were gorgeous.

Just like the long dress worn by Zhou Zhifu!

"It's all to blame for that disciple, who only cares about his own affairs, but caused a family of three to give his life, such a prodigal son should not die well. ”

The farmer was indignant and said fiercely.

It's not a good death!

Yang Yi suddenly understood at this moment why Ning Yuan had a trace of black qi on his body, and there would be a catastrophe of death.

Because of that week.

Not human at all!

but resentful spirits who demanded his life.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

That's not right!

If it is a ghost, how can it escape its own eyes?

After walking with her for a long time, I didn't even see it.

Yang Yi began to recall the previous details......

The strange thing is that I have been with her for a long time today, and when I think back at this moment, I don't have the slightest specific impression of her.

Even now, I can't remember her face.

The presence is too low.

Yes, she must have used some kind of treasure or method to cover up the dead energy on her body.

And when he first saw the two of them, he carefully examined the scholar Ning Yuan and determined the identity of a human being, so he was no longer suspicious......

The farmer left with his hoe on his shoulder, leaving Yang Yi standing in place.

Yang Yi hesitated.

Do you want to save the scholar who is haunted by evil spirits?

His own cultivation is still shallow, and it's okay to deal with some demons that turn into spirits. But if it is an evil spirit with a huge grudge, I am afraid that I am not an opponent.

But after hesitating like this, Yang Yi had already begun to walk back to the countryside and walk towards the previous market.

Alas.

I can't bear to see his life and death!

On the outskirts of the city, Hibiscus Pavilion.

Yang Yi remembered that this was the address that Ning Yuan had said.

When he came to the outskirts of the city, Yang Yi stopped an old man and asked for the specific direction.

"Young man, what are you looking for Hibiscus Pavilion?"

The old man was already full of white hair, and when he heard Yang Yi ask Furong Xiaoge, he didn't answer directly, but asked.

"Find someone. ”

Yang Yi replied simply.

The old man shook his head, "If you want to find someone, you can't find it in the Furong Pavilion." ”

"Why?"

"Because, in this small pavilion of Hibiscus, there is no one for a long time, and even if there is something in it, it is not a person. ”

“......”

"This Hibiscus Pavilion has killed several tenants in five years, and the death is still very bizarre. So since then, the house has been vacant and uninhabited.

That's what people often call a murderous house!

The official government posted a list, and many masters came to punish the evil, but those who unveiled the list never came out again after entering the mansion.

It is said that this place is already a concentration of ghosts and demons. ”

"Murderous House ......"

After listening to the old man's words, Yang Yi thanked him and asked the old man for guidance. Then, he rushed to the so-called murderous house.

The old man looked at Yang Yi's back, just shook his head and sighed.

Knowing that it is a place of death, he prefers to go to the place of death.

By this time, it was almost dark.
