Chapter 172: Ugly Ghost
Everything in the courtyard seems to be deliberately piled up with dryness and dust to create ruin, achievement, and decadence to confuse everyone who enters it. Fang Dui's palms moved slightly, and a spiritual wind blew, blowing aside the dust and dead leaves on the ground, he stepped down the steps, but his toes only touched the ground, and the ground under his feet suddenly began to flicker, and several blood-red lines were intertwined in one place, forming a large net, which violently caught Fang Dui and hung it in the air.
"Fang Dui!" Mi Zhou and Sima Lu shouted together. Fang Du motioned for them to be silent, he could feel the spiritual power coming from that net, powerful and complex, so he couldn't easily let Mi Zhou and Sima Lu get involved.
The net was slowly shrinking, and a moment of effort had firmly wrapped around Fang Dui's body. He carefully drew out the bronze sword, and a sharp cold light flashed on the blade, breaking everywhere it went. Fang Du jumped down the gap and landed firmly on the ground.
Mi Zhou exclaimed, "It is worthy of being a great general named by the Holy Lord, and his skills are really good!" Sima Lu said, "What kind of broken place is this, so it is a mysterious place, and someone who has the ability to really swords and guns comes!" Seeing Fang Du being hanged, the little girl was anxious, and she cried a lot, Fang Du said, "Little girl doesn't cry, brother, isn't it good, you and your sisters are waiting here, I'll go back!" He knew that this net was just trying to make him retreat from the difficulty, and he didn't like the hearts of those people, but wanted to see what dirty things were hidden here.
The main room is inseparable, and the middle one is the living room. The door was open, and Fang Du strode in. The calligraphy and paintings on the walls are covered in mildew, and from a distance they look more like ghosts under the thick ink. There were two chairs next to a table of eight immortals, and there seemed to be no place for the guests to sit. The large living room was empty, and the corners were full of cobwebs and dead flying insects.
"Flying insects?" Fang Duan was suddenly stunned, where there were cobwebs, even if there were corpses of flying insects, they should be hung on the net. But now these insect corpses are falling on the ground, that is, someone has killed these insects flying everywhere with medicinal incense. Those insect corpses were very complete, and they looked like they had died not long ago, and Fang Du couldn't help but sneer.
There is dust everywhere in the living room, and if it is elsewhere, dust of this thickness will not appear for at least two years. But in Lutai Town, where the wind and sand blow all day, it only takes three days to reach this level. That's why the door to this living room was open when Fang Duan came in.
To the east of the living room is a bedroom, which has nothing but a sleek carved wooden bed. Fang Du walked to the easternmost room, which seemed to be a small dining room. The tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks are neatly arranged, and there are even small porcelain jars for seasonings, which seem to be a little more furnished than the living room and bedroom.
Fang Duan even found a few bottles of aged wine on a shelf, which were fragrant and very gluttonous. At this moment, a white shadow suddenly flashed outside the window. The night was now dark, and everything white in the night stood out. Fang Du smiled coldly, flew out of the window, his toes fell to the ground together, and he had already caught up with the white shadow and grabbed him by the collar.
The man was so frightened that his steps were messy and he almost fell to the ground. Fang Du held his shoulder in a circle, so that the man faced him, and took off the white mask of impermanence on his face, revealing the extremely ugly face.
To be honest, Fang Du selfishly felt that if he didn't wear a mask, this face would be even more terrifying. Fang Du scolded, "Who are you, why are you hiding here and pretending to be a ghost?" The man trembled with fright and stammered, "I, I'm a ghost, specialist, specializing in eating people!"
"Really?" Fang Du said coldly, "I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" He shouted outside the door, "Senior Sister Sima, come in!" Sima Lu had been waiting for this for a long time, she hurriedly ran in, and was also startled when she saw Fang Du holding a person dressed in white in her hand, "Yo, what is this?"
Fang Du said, "Senior sister, don't be afraid, this person refuses to tell the truth, and I can only hand him over to you, senior sister." I started late, and the punishment set by Master was not very clear. Senior sister, you know best, this person is at the disposal of senior sister, don't show mercy!"
Sima Lu smiled and took the man from Fang Dui's hand, deliberately lowered his voice and said to him, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just some little tricks." For example, you tie your hands and feet, put honey on you, put ants or bees on you. Or, cut your tendons and tendons, or ......"
Before she finished her words, the man had already "plopped" and knelt on the ground, wetting his pants, "My aunt, I, I'm just a small character, hired to pretend to be a ghost and scary!" Sima Lu pushed him on the back, "Then tell me everything you know, otherwise, I won't be able to spare you!"
The man honestly knelt on the ground and said, "The little one is called, the big cow is called, someone saw me ugly a year ago, and paid a lot of money to get me here." The only thing I have to do every day is to put on this outfit and shake it in front of them when someone comes in and scare them away. Sima Lu muttered, "Actually, if you don't wear this clothes, you're more like a ghost!"
"Who hired you, and what are they doing in this yard?" said Da Niu, "they are actually a gang of robbers in Lutai Town. ”
The town of Lutai is located in the middle of nowhere, bordering three small neighboring countries. As a result, many merchants would pass through or trade in Lutai Town to earn money. The robbers saw that the merchants were carrying a lot of money, so they chose this house as a base, and deliberately released the news that this place was haunted day and night, so that people did not dare to approach.
"They will leave the looted money and goods here for the time being, but they will soon be transported away." Fang Dui asked, "Have they ever killed anyone?" Da Niu's face suddenly turned pale, "This, this, I really don't know!" Fang Dui grabbed him by the neck and forced him to ask, "Is there a couple, they also have an old mother and a daughter!"
"I, I can't remember!" Da Niu almost cried. Sima Lu threatened him, "You'd better remember, or I'll apply everything I just said to you." Da Niu hugged his head and said loudly, "I remember, I remember, there is such a couple, they saw things that they shouldn't see, so, so that gang of robbers killed them, and buried their bodies under the pear tree in the backyard!" Fang Du asked, "Those robbers can be here now?" Da Niu shook his head and said, "They went out five days ago and didn't come back, I don't know if they suffered retribution!"
