Chapter 4: The Legend of Cats and Ghosts (65) - Crisis is also a business opportunity

☆☆☆

Yue'er pulled Chris for a while and asked questions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yin Chen's eyes were fixed on the white-haired old man. On the way, I heard Yueyu'er preach that the "Tenth Grandfather" they were going to see today was a reclusive bachelor, he was not only the stepfather of the Hong Gang Master, but also accepted Ouyang Feng as his son!

Regardless of Ouyang Feng, the adoptive father of a single beggar gang leader is enough to have a background, but how come the rivers and lakes have never heard of such a character? This made Yin Chen a little more curious.

As soon as he entered the room, Yin Chen began to look curiously at the old man sitting at the table. At first sight, it's just an old man. But when he met his eyes, Yin Chen only felt a shock, he didn't expect this old man's eyes to be so sharp, as if he could see through everything about him.

When the old man saw Yin Chen, his eyes suddenly lit up. Yin Chen intuitively saw a flower in front of him, and a sound of wind had rushed past his ears, he was shocked, his body turned to the side, but the breath had been transferred behind him, Yin Chen did not look back, his body arched slightly, his right elbow had hit back, and his body was half turned at the same time, but before his right elbow was completely struck, the force suddenly disappeared without a trace......

Yin Chen looked up again, and the old man was sitting in front of the octagonal table, as if he had never moved, but he didn't know when he had an extra wine gourd in his hand!

Yin Chen's face turned pale in shock, what kind of reclusive bachelor, it was obvious that he was a hidden master! He seemed to be motionless, but he had already walked back and forth, taking away the wine gourd hanging on the wall behind him! Ouyang Feng's ghostly body technique turned out to be learned from him, but compared with Ouyang Feng, this old man's light skills were really unfathomable.

Chris looked at the old man's behavior but was a little strange, what the hell is this, suddenly showing such a hand?

"Daddy," Chris chuckled as he looked at the stunned young man, "Let me introduce you to you, he is Yin Chen of the Underworld Hunting Palace." ”

Yin Chen hurriedly took the junior salute, bowed respectfully to the old man, and then exchanged glances with Ouyang Feng. He knew that the old man must have guessed his identity, and it seemed very appropriate for Ouyang Feng to report his name in such a dignified manner.

The old man seemed to be very happy with Chris's direct approach, his face was obviously pale, and he asked Yin Chen with a pleasant face: "How is your old man?"

Yin Chen was slightly stunned, thought about it, bowed down and replied: "My grandfather and father are very healthy, thank you for greetings!"

Chris didn't expect Yin Chen's grandfather to be still alive, but thinking about it, Yin Chen is not very old, which is of course normal. But I heard the old man suddenly ask, "Yin Yi is your eldest brother?"

"Yes!" Hearing the eldest brother being called out by name, Yin Chen was a little surprised and asked, "Does my brother know me?"

The old man didn't answer, and continued: "Has Yin Yi also arrived in the capital?" There was a hint of danger in his voice, making it impossible to figure out what he really meant.

Yin Chen didn't know why, he looked up at the old man, but saw that the light in the old man's eyes skyrocketed, he hurriedly lowered his head and replied honestly: "When the junior left the Underworld Palace, my eldest brother was still at home. But his whereabouts will never be revealed to me, so whether he has arrived in the capital or not, the younger generation does not know......"

After saying these words, I felt cold sweat on my forehead. He wondered in his heart: How could the eldest brother provoke this?

Chris suddenly remembered that Yin Yi and Xiao asked to kill him, and it seemed that the old man must be angry about this matter.

"Daddy, you don't have to frighten the kids...... Chris winked at Yin Chen and smiled, "By the way, what about Xiaofei?"

"Brother Xiaofei has gone to find Brother Hong!" Yue Yu'er, who hadn't spoken for a long time, rushed to say.

Chris was pleasantly surprised: "Hong Qi has come to the capital?"

Yue Yu'er nodded and said, "It's not because of that 'cat ghost' that made trouble! I don't know whose noble son it plundered, what kind of Mr. Anle is, I have to ask Brother Hong to help find it." As soon as Brother Xiao Fei heard that Brother Hong was coming, he immediately ran to see him. He seems to have something on his mind these days, and he is always absent-minded......" As she said, she suddenly stared at Yin Chen and said, "If you say that, I think you are also very strange, you two must be hiding something from me together!, isn't it?"

"Cat ghost?" Chris chimed in, "It's the rumor that has been circulating in Beijing these two days, what green-eyed cat demon is robbing young children, don't tell me, you'll believe this nonsense......

"It's true!" Yue Yu'er stomped her feet in a hurry, "Those orphans who fled from Hebei last time were sent by me to the black cat mother-in-law for foster care, but several of the children disappeared. The mother-in-law said that in the middle of the night she heard her three black cats meowing and pulling the paper window, she got up and pushed the window to look, but found that there was a pair of green and shiny eyes staring at her in the night, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move!

"Isn't she dazzled, is it a cat that she sees at night?" said Chris.

Yin Chen has been following Yue Yu'er recently, so he naturally knows the mother-in-law who raised a black cat. Yue'er placed a few orphans in that big house, and she sometimes stole some money and things and basically gave them to the mother-in-law.

Chris saw Yin Chen's expression change, and he didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking. She turned her head and asked the old man, "Daddy also believes that there are banshees in the world who suck men's blood?"

Before the old man could answer, Yin Chen, who had hesitated for a long time, suddenly spoke: "This matter...... I'm afraid it's true!"

Everyone was taken aback and looked at Yin Chen together. The old man stroked his beard, noticing an imperceptible trilling in the boy's words. The people of the Underworld Palace have all undergone a long and rigorous training, and they have always been unfazed, and they can create this discordant fluctuation in his heart, it seems that this matter must be extraordinary! He seems to be really hiding something...... The old man groaned for a moment and said, "What do you and Xiaofei know? Don't hide it anymore, tell me quickly!"

After the old man finished speaking, Chris and Yueyu'er immediately quieted down.

Yin Chen nodded, and told Li Xiucai what happened that night from beginning to end.

Yue Yu'er was still thinking angrily at first: That day was Xiao Feige's birthday, and a table of meals was prepared, but the left waited for you and didn't come, and the right waited for you and didn't come. Hmph, when I came back so late that day, I was really hiding something!

As the story became more and more bizarre and the atmosphere became more and more terrifying, Yue Yu'er had goosebumps on her arms when she heard it. When she heard that Ning Yifei was almost strangled to death by Xiucai, she was even more frightened, and quickly hid behind the "Ten Grandfathers", and tears rolled down unconsciously.

After a while, she poked her head out, with tears on her face, and said in horror: "Li Xiucai, he ...... He was bewitched by a monster and turned into an immortal monster......?! No wonder some time ago, when the arrest came to investigate the case, Brother Xiaofei looked restless. And recently, he has always avoided Mrs. Li, I thought he was paying attention to avoiding suspicion because Mrs. Li became a widow who lived alone, who knew that was the case!"

Chris was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe his ears. She stared at Yin Chen and asked, "Can you be sure that the female goblin is Pei Yuniang?"

"The woman had been covering her face, and she couldn't see her face clearly. It's just that she herself admits that she is in love with Li Xiucai...... "If you are happy with each other, you want to turn Li Xiucai into an immortal monster?" Yin Chen only feels terrifying when he thinks about it now.

“...... That embroidered Oiran sucked Xiucai's blood?" Chris Rao muttered in disbelief.

"I can't tell if it's bloodsucking in the dark," Yin Chen said with some hesitation, "but because it's so close, I can hear the sound of my mouth sucking, and I can hear the sound of swallowing in my throat." ”

“...... Vampire Banshee?Living Dead?" Chris really wanted to shout, "Are you sure you're on the wrong set?"

"The living dead...... "The old man suddenly muttered, "Restore the corpse!"

Yin Chen asked, "Soul corpse?"

The old man glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Those Dong clans in Nanjiang, each clan has a wizard, and every wizard can lower his head and apply poison Gu! Among them is a kind of Gu worm, the wizard can make them crawl into the human body, and when the person dies, he can live by death and become a 'soul corpse'! People have seven orifices and nine orifices, and I heard that these Gu worms enter different orifices, and this person will have different appearances after death. ”

The more Yue Yu'er listened, the more frightened she became, she was busy covering her ears, and she was so frightened that she hid in the back room.

"Nanjiang?" Chris said, "Bei Sanqi is from Nanjiang, will he also make this kind of Gu worm?"

"As far as I know, in Nanjiang, Gu worms are generally in the hands of witches. The old man added.

Yin Chen nodded and said, "Don't be afraid that you only get poisonous insects, don't raise Gu!"

Chris always felt that listening to the mystery and mystery, these poisonous Gu raised by ethnic minorities had such a terrifying effect. Yin Chen called it "Living Dead", and his father said it was "Soul Returning Corpse", they all seemed to believe that Gu worms and a kind of evil witchcraft could turn people into that.

Chris immediately thought of Voodoo and Mary Lavieu. The wizards of Voodoo create "zombies", not by witchcraft or poison, but by tetrodotoxin. Assuming that Ning Yifei and Yin Chen really met a bloodsucking woman, could it be that there was also a "Voodoo Empress" in the Great Song Dynasty?

Chris shook his head, as if trying to chase the terrible thought away.

Seeing that Chris still didn't believe it, Yin Chen said: "Don't hide it, in fact, there are a group of new killers in the Killer League, and they also disappeared mysteriously some time ago...... That's why my father sent me to Beijing to track down their whereabouts. I began to think that they were newcomers, maybe they had offended someone, so I followed the content of the order, but after checking several clues, I didn't find any problems. During my investigation, more and more children were missing in Kyoto. The youngest of these children is seven or eight years old, and the oldest is twelve or thirteen years old. And the missing killer of our Killer League is only thirteen or fourteen years old. Some things, once connected, make me wonder if these mysterious disappearances could have something to do with the living dead that night?"

After thinking for a while, she asked, "You said that Li Xiucai and Pei Yuniang were on good terms, and he was going to have a private meeting with her that night." Since this clue points directly to Pei Yuniang, let's go check on her! She's in the embroidery building, let's hear what she has to say first!"

Yin Chen shook his head and said, "Actually, I wanted to check before! There are many rumors on the street that the cat ghost banshee is Pei Yuniang, and even Kaifeng Mansion has inquired about her several times! Those Wang Sun masters all entered the embroidery building one by one, but they couldn't enter her room! We can't even see anyone, so how can we start to find out?"

Chris thinks about it, because of dill, he offended Pei Yuniang last time, and now if he comes to ask to see him, I'm afraid he will definitely have to eat closed-door soup!

Seeing that Ouyang Feng didn't speak for a long time, Yin Chen thought that he was not very interested in this matter, but this was nothing, this matter had nothing to do with him in the first place. Yin Chen pointed to the inner room with his finger, lowered his voice and said to Ouyang Feng: "What you entrusted me with, I need to put it aside for a while." I've been following me for so long, and I haven't seen any suspicious people! I need to get to the bottom of the Killers' affairs first. If you don't feel at ease, keep an eye on her first, and then I'll help you when I'm done with my errands and come back. Isn't that good?"

The old man thought they were talking strangely, looked at the room, lowered his voice, and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you staring at her?"

"Someone might be going to ......" Chris also pointed to the back room, "not good!"

The old man raised his eyebrows and said in his heart: She is a little girl, who will be unfavorable to her?

Yin Chen hurriedly said: "I haven't found anything during this time with her. But listening to her own words, she always felt that someone was quietly following her, and it was by no means out of nowhere! Moreover, she was attacked before, and later she was contracted by the killer and taken to Salmon Island. Now it seems that none of this is an accident!" He glanced at Ouyang Feng and continued, "These are all what Brother Ouyang told me!"

"Really?" asked the old man, frowning, turning to Chris.

Chris nodded.

After a while, she suddenly looked up at Yin Chen and asked, "You said Pei Yuniang didn't accept guests?"

Yin Chen nodded and said: "Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, being accused by the world of being a bloodsucking banshee and cholera in the capital, then Pei Yuniang can't afford such a name, she is afraid that she will not be in the mood, otherwise she will not hide in the embroidery building." Of course, she may also be the real murderer who poisoned Li Xiucai with Gu, or she may be a demon who stole children, and now that Kaifeng Mansion suspects her, it naturally sends a catcher to keep an eye on her around the clock. She had to hide!"

Chris said secretly: It seems that Pei Yuniang doesn't know, in fact, the crisis has been handled, but it is a business opportunity! Now that she has taken a back seat, wouldn't it be a great opportunity for our dill!

After thinking about it for a while, she finally made up her mind. I saw her smile and said, "Xiaochen, I probably have a way to ask Pei Yuniang to invite us to meet at the door!"

Yin Chen frowned, not knowing what she meant.

After speaking, she asked the old man: "Daddy, you help me watch Yueyu'er these days, just say that there are monsters outside now, let her not run around!"

The old man deliberately sneered: "You think she is in danger, why don't you guard it yourself?"
