Volume 3: The Ghost Is Immortal Chapter 128: Xie Zhenjiang's Soul
Reputedly:
Jiangjia Town was originally developed from a family surnamed Jiang, and for hundreds of years, after generations of children and grandchildren, Jiangjia Town was born.
At first, half of the people in the town were surnamed Jiang.
The accident happened more than 100 years ago, when the head of the Jiang family, who was the mayor of the town, died, and his children buried him in another feng shui treasure outside the ancestral land of the Jiang family.
And the day after he was buried in the ground, the mayor's eldest son suddenly died violently at home, without any wounds and no signs of poisoning. In short, the death was inexplicable, and what was even stranger was that the deceased was black and purple all over, and his eyes left the horror before death.
However, this is just the beginning. The eldest son was followed by the second son, and after the death of the male, then by the female. Every night, a member of the Jiang family dies, and the remaining descendants flee from Jiangjia Town in panic.
When the people of Jiangzhen thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, a family surnamed Jiang had the same death situation. From that day on, every time the sun sets, night falls instantly. And every night, a person surnamed Jiang will die violently. The people in the town were panicked, and the people surnamed Jiang left their hometowns one after another.
Until one day, a Taoist priest from Youfang passed by and found the mayor at that time and said that it was caused by the resentment generated by the head of the Jiang family before entering the ancestral tomb. So, everyone worked together to dig open the grave of the head of the Jiang family and return his coffin to the ancestral grave.
At the time of the burial, the whole town invited the Taoist priest for guidance. How do you know that when the soldier arrived at the grave mountain, he shook his head and sighed, saying that the method of digging up the tomb of the head of the Jiang family was wrong, which disturbed his sleep. The head of the Jiang family will not be at peace, and he will come out every night to take revenge, and the townspeople will not be allowed to go out of the house to ensure safety after nightfall.
Si Quan frowned when he heard the other party's story, and asked, "Then where is the head of the Jiang family buried?"
The other party's face changed, and he whispered: "Brother Tai, don't believe it, it's better to be taboo if I advise you." β
"What is the big man's spitting, and he is afraid of this little thing?"
Hearing Tianxue's disdain, the other party's face couldn't help but be embarrassed, he looked around carefully, gritted his teeth and said: "Since you are not afraid of the girl, I will also let it go, but you are not familiar with the place, why don't I personally lead the way for you at night?"
"That's really thankful, under the authority of the boss, this is Neizi Tianxue, I don't know what to call Brother Tai?"
"The ancestral surname Xie, a single name and an army, happens to be the shopkeeper of this house. β
Xie Jun claimed to be the shopkeeper here, and he seemed to be smiling, thinking that he guessed the real relationship between Si Quan and Tianxue.
Si Quan's expression remained unchanged, but he pulled up Tianxue and said with a smile: "Then don't bother Brother Xie, see you at night." β
As soon as he stepped out of the front foot, Si Quan suddenly turned around again: "I see that Brother Xie has an injury to his right hand, it won't affect his actions at night, right?"
Xie Jun raised his eyes, waved his hand and smiled: "I was bitten by a cat at night, and it doesn't get in the way." β
β―β―
"Then Xie Jun has a problem. β
As soon as he returned to the room, Tianxue did not pursue Si Quan for lying about the relationship between the two, and checked that there was no one around, and his tone was definitely authentic.
"It's too obvious that the whole town avoids ghosts, and he even takes the initiative to come up. β
"Also, the wound on his hand is very carefully bandaged, and it is by no means as simple as being bitten by a cat, and when you asked just now, his face changed a little. β
Si Quan nodded, and it was also deliberately tentatively asked: "I can't detect the strength of his skills, but if he can take your sword empty-handed, it is not so simple." β
"It's just that last night it was clearly a ghost, how did he disappear out of thin air, isn't he human?"
"Don't think too much about it, we'll see you in the evening. β
"Aren't you worried that he's deliberately fooling us?"
"How can the life of our authority be taken away by ordinary people? β
"At the beginning, Sister Qinghan asked me to take a good look at you, don't die so that I can't explain. β
Si Quan's heart trembled, obviously he was not surprised by Shangguan Qinghan's worries, he knew that Shangguan Qinghan was cold on the surface but weak on the inside, but when he suddenly heard her name, why was his heart throbbing involuntarily?
"Are you alright?"
"It's fine!"
Si Quan replied casually, vaguely, he seemed to be able to feel that there was something in his heart that made him have an unspeakable implication with Shangguan Qinghan.
"Now the relationship between Xie Jun and Ghost City is very suspicious, and we still have to formulate a more detailed strategy. β
"This is not what we have been asking for, I can feel that to say that Xie Jun is from Ghost City, he is definitely a big fish. β
Tianxue was about to speak, when she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a figure outside the door, and motioned for Si Quan to stop.
"Objective, the little one will send some snacks to the two of you if you are in charge. β
Si Quan opened the door, and it was the previous little two.
"Thank you for me. β
"It should be, it should be. β
Si Quan quietly stuffed a few more banknotes into the small second-hand and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me why your shopkeeper doesn't live in the store at night?"
"The shopkeeper is the third son of the Xie family, and he opened this inn just to make friends with some chivalrous warriors, and of course he won't stay in this humble shop at night. β
"Okay, just ask, you're busy!"
"Okay, if the guest officer has something to do, just call me!"
Seeing Xiao Er leave, Si Quan frowned and said, "How is your investigation of the situation here?"
"The Xie family is the most powerful family in the local area, how can the third son of the dignified Xie family surrender his identity and make friends with some reckless men?"
Si Quan sneered: "If it's for Ghost City, wouldn't it be a good identity?"
"Are you saying that this inn is the same as our Tianya Inn, and it belongs to a place where information is bought and sold?"
Si Quan did not reply affirmatively, but his suspicions about Xie Jun became clearer and clearer.
"Secretly pay attention to Xie Jun to see if he has a layout or a ventilated message. β
There are no people in Xuanji Mansion in Jiangjia Town, and maybe Tianxue doesn't know, but no matter what, the task of supervising Xie Jun still falls to her.
However, at the end of the day, she didn't notice anything unusual about Xie Jun. The most suspicious time was to ask someone to go back to Xie's house to pick up a package, and Si Quan learned that he would follow him personally.
Summing up the results of the day, the only thing that didn't figure it out was that package.
Night fell again, the guests went to bed early, and Xie Jun arrived as promised.
Before leaving, Tianxue suddenly thought of something, secretly sprinkled a layer of dust on the tea cover, and tied the door with a strand of hair.
The three of them left the inn, and when they saw Xie Jun holding the package with both hands and looking around, Tianxue asked tentatively, "You seem to be scared?"
"Thank you Miss Tianxue for your concern, you two will follow me later, maybe I can protect you then?"
"Just what you have in your baggage?"
"Hey, don't say, don't say!"
Si Quan was even more suspicious, but Xie Jun protected his package like a baby, and he didn't have a chance to check it at all.
Jiangjia Town at night is as eerie and terrifying as ever. The moonlight is miserable white, and the chickens and dogs do not bark.
The ancestral land of the Jiang family is located in the north of the town, a treasure land of feng shui by the mountains and rivers. And the place where the head of the Jiang family is buried, although it is also a lowly mountain, but I don't know when the mountain was washed away by the water, and at this time it was already a place where the mountain depended.
ββThose who understand hexagrams can see at a glance that the location of the cemetery is dominated by five yin and one yang, and the five yin are isolated and one yang, and the yang is forced by the yin. Not to mention the extreme decline of everything, and more importantly, it is not tolerated by this place at all. In other words, the head of the Jiang family not only did not return to the ancestral land, but was at odds with the ancestors.
Under the leadership of Xie Jun, Si Quan and the two walked straight to the grave of the head of the Jiang family.
"Brother Xie seems to be very familiar with the road?"
"Of course, you weren't the first to get interested, and I wasn't here for the first time. β
Si Quan suddenly had a bad premonition, and whispered close to Tianxue: "Be careful, the atmosphere here is weird." β
