Chapter 19: The Remnant of the Ghost

The hall official first glanced around with his eyes, and saw that there was no one around, so he quietly approached Chu Ping and Ye Feng, and said softly: "Don't hide it from the two guest officials, it's only because our host's lady gave birth to a mute young master who can't speak last night, so our host's family will be unhappy." ”

"Oh! I see!" Chu Ping couldn't help but sigh: "It's true that no one can be happy to get up happily with such a thing." ”

Unexpectedly, the running officer said a deeply surprising sentence: "The two guest officers don't know, in fact, the lady of our host family just gave birth to a mute young lady who can't speak the year before last, but this year, she gave birth to a dumb young master who can't speak, which is really a little unacceptable to our host!"

Chu Ping sighed and said, "In this way, could it be that your owner's mansion is broken and feng shui can't be done?"

"Huh?" the hall official waved his hand and said, "It's not just that our owner's house has broken feng shui, it should be said that it is true that our entire Sanshi Town has broken feng shui!"

Hearing him say this, Chu Ping and Ye Feng were quite shocked, and Chu Ping asked him: "Little second brother, according to your meaning, is it possible that there are other people in Sanshi Town who have had such an unfortunate thing?"

"That's good!" the hall official nodded again and again and said: "I don't know which way of the gods we have offended in the whole Sanshi Town, since the year before the fight, the people in our town, but whoever gives birth to a baby, it is a mute child who can't speak, you say, isn't this a bit of a wicked sect? If it continues to develop like this, after the last fifty or sixty years, then our entire Sanshi Town, won't there be dumb people everywhere? How can this be born?"

Chu Ping and Ye Feng couldn't help but feel even more shocked, and faintly felt that this matter seemed to be a little strange, and they were about to ask the hall runner something again, but at this time, the innkeeper walked over to this side, came to him, and indiscriminately said to the hall runner: "Hmph! You lazy dog, don't hurry up and go over to work, but you come here and mutter? Why don't you go to work quickly, otherwise, I will have to deduct your wages!"

The hall official was so frightened that he hurriedly begged bitterly: "Oh, please don't be angry, the little one, the little one will work, please ask the owner to raise his noble hand, but don't deduct the villain's wages?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Okay, for the sake of your diligent work on weekdays, I will spare you this time." What are you doing here, why don't you go and greet the guests!"

"Okay! The villain is going to greet the guests, thank you, thank you, thank you!" turned and ran away. The shopkeeper turned around, smiled at Chu Ping and Ye Feng, and said, "Two guest officers, that muddy boy just now, must have told you a lot of nonsense, right?

Chu Ping waved his hand and said, "The shopkeeper, I think that the second brother of the Fang Cai family has said something very important, and it is quite important!

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not! I don't think the two of you are a little too careful, for no reason, why do you want to take care of the affairs of our Sanshi Town?"

Hearing him say this, Ye Feng was anxious, slapped the table with a "pop", stood up with a "puff", stepped forward and grabbed the shopkeeper's collar, glared at him, and shouted at him: "Hmph! I said that you really don't know what to do? Let me tell you the truth, we think that these things that happened in Sanshi Town are not simple, and it is not good, do you know that someone is secretly playing tricks?" I'm telling you, bad old man, tell me all the suspicious things that have happened in this town in the last few days, or else, don't blame me for wanting you to look good!"

The shopkeeper was so frightened by Ye Feng that he almost didn't pee his pants, where could he still speak?

Chu Ping hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two of them and persuaded Ye Feng: "Brother Ye, what are you doing here? Don't you have to be so impulsive, okay? Look at you, you scared the shopkeepers, they are all about to turn into chaff!"

Ye Feng sighed and said to Chu Ping: "Brother Chu, it's not that I'm impulsive, it's really this old guy, he doesn't know what to do!"

Chu Ping waved his hand helplessly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, a thousand shouldn't, never right, all of this is the shopkeeper's fault!

Seeing him like this, Chu Ping couldn't help but smile secretly, turned around, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, don't be surprised, my brother, he is such a quick temper, but his personality is very good, so the shopkeeper, don't you worry about him?" If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, and the villain will try his best to answer you. ”

Chu Ping nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll ask directly." Please take a good look at the shopkeeper, in the past two years, has anything happened in our town that makes people feel quite strange?"

The shopkeeper held his chin in his hand, thought about it carefully, and said: "Yes! If you talk about things that make people feel strange, I'm afraid it is none other than Boss Liu of Huai'an Tang who charged a high price for umbilical cord blood." ”

"What?" Ye Feng couldn't help but be stunned: "You mean, someone pays a high price for umbilical cord blood?"

"Yes...... Yes!" replied the innkeeper with a shudder.

Ye Feng walked around to the shopkeeper and asked him, "Shopkeeper, let me ask you, the shopkeeper Liu of Huai'an Hall, has he ever provided these mothers with fetal pills at a low price?"

"Right...... How do you know?" asked the innkeeper curiously.

Ye Feng frowned, and shouted angrily: "Damn! I can't imagine that these remnants of the Ghost Sect have come here to harm people again." ”

"What?Ghost Sect?" Chu Ping said in shock: "Brother Ye, as far as I know, wasn't this Ghost Sect completely wiped out by your master, Daoist Jin Feng, and the Eight Sages of Miao Jiang together as early as eighteen years ago?"

Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's not a secret, Brother Chu, the Ghost Sect leader back then, Shangguan Yu Fei, had indeed been killed by my master and the Eight Sages of Miao Jiang together, and he did kill many of his Ghost Sect members back then. However, it is a pity that after a fierce battle in the Ghost Palace of Yilu Mountain in Miaojiang, my master and them did not find the trace of Shangguan Yu Fei's still infant son, Shangguan Cheng, and at the same time, they did not find the body of the Xuanwu Protector among the four major protectors of the Ghost Sect, and the whereabouts of these two people have been unknown since then. I really can't imagine that this ghost cult has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for so many years, and now it will appear here, and still use such despicable means to harm people, it is really hateful!"

The innkeeper was so frightened that he couldn't understand what they were talking about, and asked suspiciously, "What are you talking about, two guest officers?"

Ye Feng said to him: "Shopkeeper, these things on the rivers and lakes, of course you little people won't know, but what I can tell you is that the shopkeeper Liu of Huai'an Hall is definitely not a good person." If you don't believe what I say, then please ponder for yourself, before the shopkeeper of Huai'an Hall came to Sanshi Town, did such a strange thing happen in your town? Also, did all these mothers who gave birth to mute children have taken the fetal pills provided by Huai'an Tang when they were pregnant?"

Hearing Ye Feng say this, the innkeeper nodded his head again and again, and said in shock: "It turns out that this kind of unfortunate thing that happened in our Sanshi Town was actually harmed by this Huai'an Hall, the shopkeeper Liu, but it was not to offend any gods!"

"Not bad!" Ye Feng nodded again and again and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this thief from Huai'an Hall must be the remnant of the Ghost Sect." If so, please ask the shopkeeper to send someone to inform her family as soon as possible, telling her not to take the fetal medicine provided by Huai'an Tang again, so as not to harm the fetus in her womb. ”

The shopkeeper of the inn nodded again and again and said: "Okay, please rest assured, I will personally go to the house of Li Yuanwai, who lives on South Street, and remind Li Yuanwai not to let her daughter-in-law eat the fetal medicine provided by the thief cub of Huai'an Tang again." As soon as the words fell, he quickly ran out of the inn and ran directly towards the house of Li Dayuan on South Street.

Ye Feng said to Chu Ping: "Brother Chu, it seems that the two of us have come on a mission, and I am afraid that we will not be able to eat this breakfast." ”

Chu Ping immediately understood what he meant, smiled and said, "Brother Ye wait a minute, I'll go back to the room to get the sword." When Chu Ping took the sword and came downstairs, he walked towards the blacksmith shop with Ye Feng.

When I came to the door of the blacksmith shop, I saw the blacksmith master and a few guys sleeping with their heads down, it seems that these people must have been tired all night, so they are so tired. Ye Feng coughed lightly, and the blacksmith and the others immediately woke up, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Oh! The two guest officers have come early enough, this steel knife has been built, please check it out for yourself to see if you are satisfied?"

Ye Feng took the knife and looked at it carefully, only to see that the blade of the knife was as bright as a mirror, revealing a cold air, and in the middle of the high burning blade on the blade, a little cold light was condensed, as if it was constantly flowing, adding a bit of sharp coolness. Ye Feng took the knife in his hand, kept flipping back and forth to look at it, trembling lightly with his hand, only to hear the choking sound of chaos, the light flashed and covered people's faces, the cold was cold, the glow was scorching, and the cold air invaded people, which made people love it. Chu Ping fixed his eyes and was secretly surprised, thinking: "There is such a good knife in hand, but in the future, I don't know how many souls will be added in vain in this world!" Ye Feng sighed in surprise: "Oh! It's really a good knife, bright as a mirror, cold as autumn water, the master is really a good craft!"

The blacksmith hurriedly smiled and thanked: "Thank you for the praise of the guest officer, as long as the guest officer is satisfied, the villain's hard work this night will not be in vain!"

After Ye Feng put away the knife, he said to the blacksmith: "Shop, I wonder if there is a guy in this shop who has tried the knife?"

"Yes...... , Yes, the guest officer waits for a while, and the small one goes to get it for the guest officer. The work was not large, but I saw the blacksmith take an iron rod about two feet long and as thick as a thumb, and said to Ye Feng: "Guest officer, how do you think you can use it to test the knife?"

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Very good, shopkeeper, please throw this iron rod out!"

Ye Feng looked up, and quickly jumped forward, only to see him swing a few knives back and forth, the iron rod was broken into a few pieces, and all of them fell to the ground with a "clanging clang", and the blacksmith and others were all stunned, and secretly praised: "Oh!

Ye Feng took a closer look at the blade, only to see that there was no curl opening, and said to himself: "It's really a good knife!" He turned around and said to the blacksmith: "Shopkeeper, I don't know how much silver it costs to build such a good knife? ”

The blacksmith waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, guest officer, in fact, someone has already paid the little silver for the guest officer, not only that, but that person also gave the villain an extra ten taels of silver!"

After hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Oh, shopkeeper, I don't know who is the person who paid you the silver?"

The blacksmith didn't say anything, but just glanced at Chu Ping secretly, but Ye Feng had already found out, smiled at Chu Ping, and said: "Brother Chu, if the junior brother didn't guess wrong, you walked out of the house for so long last night, not because of your stomach discomfort, but you came here on purpose to pay the wages for the knife for the junior brother in advance, right?"

Chu Ping saw that he couldn't be deceived, so he had to admit: "Yes, Brother Ye's guess is not bad at all, just because you inadvertently destroyed your original knife, and I really don't want to go, so I want to use this to compensate Brother Ye, but I didn't have time to inform Brother Ye, and I ask Brother Ye not to blame!"

Ye Feng was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Chu, why do you say you are doing this? It's obviously the younger brother, why do you feel guilty, Brother Chu? Brother Chu, please tell the junior brother how much money you have spent, and the junior brother will return it to you immediately." And when he had spoken, he took out of his bosom the money.

Chu Ping hurriedly stopped: "Brother Ye don't want to do this, in this way, between you and my brothers, wouldn't it seem to be divided, isn't it?" Brother Ye still don't take this matter to heart anymore!"

Ye Feng clasped his hands into fists and said, "Since this is the case, then the little brother is no longer humble." Brother Chu, now that the knife has been retrieved, how about you and I go to that Huai'an Hall together?"

"Okay, without further ado, let's go to Huai'an Hall together!" After asking the blacksmith for the green shark skin scabbard, the two of them headed towards Huai'an Hall together.

When he came to the head of Huai'an Hall, he saw that there was only one little brother standing in the hall, Ye Feng stepped forward and asked, "This little brother, I don't know where this doctor is now?"

The little brother standing in the hall glanced at the two of them carefully, and asked, "Guest officer, I don't know what kind of illness you plan to see, or what kind of medicinal herbs are you going to grab?" If it is a simple job, the small one can do it for you, and if it is more complicated, the small one will go inside and inform the doctor of the hall for the guest officer!"

Ye Feng glanced at Chu Ping, and the two nodded knowingly to each other, and then, Ye Feng said to the little brother standing in the hall: "This little brother, just because the lady in Xia has just become pregnant, I came here on purpose to get some fetal medicine for my lady, this matter is categorically sloppy, so I still bother the little brother to go and inform the doctor sitting in the hall?"

"Okay then, please wait a moment, and the little one will go and ask the doctor to come." With that, he turned and went inside.

It didn't take much time, and sure enough, I saw a middle-aged man in his fifties, walking out of the house slowly, and the two of them took a closer look at this person's appearance, but saw that he had a purple-brown complexion, a pair of thick eyebrows and broad eyes, a collapsed nose, a brazier, and not too many beards under his chin, the appearance was very terrifying, Ye Feng suddenly felt resentful, and shouted angrily: "What a thief, it's really you!"

I don't know who this person really is, and see the breakdown below.
