Chapter 173 Recognizing an old friend
"You three, please get up first and listen to me," Yang Yuyao said awkwardly as he was still not very used to people in this world kneeling down at every turn. "Since we have been involved at this time, we will naturally not let this evil spirit continue to live. However, almost all the victims of it have been turned into bones. Therefore, we need to confirm that he is alive for the time being, so that those whose relatives and friends are missing can also Opportunity to get an explanation.”
"Okay, okay, I'll trouble you, Master Immortal." The Deng couple were silent for a while and then responded with red eyes. Chu Zijin didn't say a word, but after standing up, he bowed and bowed again.
Yang Yuyao took another look at him and felt that something was not right about him. Then he turned to the county magistrate, opened Xunlian, brought up his map, and put the light screen into sharing mode.
"We are new here and don't know much about Minguo, so I would like to ask if this town here falls under your management." Yang Yuyao asked, pointing to the location where the Hundred-Faced Ghost's secret room was found. The county magistrate looked at this magical thing in amazement and secretly sighed at the magic of the monk's magic. Then he looked at this special map carefully. With the help of the locations of Qincheng and Naliang Town marked on the map, the county magistrate judged which town Yang Yuyao was referring to and nodded.
"Yes, this town is called Huagang Town. What's the problem here?" the county magistrate asked.
"The hundred-faced ghost built a secret room here to store the bones of the victims." Yang Yuyao replied, "I will go back there first, and then we will discuss it in detail." After that, Yang Yuyao left the yamen. He disappeared, and with his master He Qianqing here to control him, there was no need to worry about what kind of trouble the Hundred-faced Ghost would cause.
Returning to the secret room hidden under the house, Yang Yuyao suddenly remembered his reaction at that moment again. It was clear that his skin was just touched, and he knew that he could beat it, no matter how annoying he was. When someone touches you, why do you react so strongly at that moment? Was he so cowardly? Yang Yuyao, who couldn't help but spit on himself, took a deep breath, tried to adjust his emotions, and once again used magic to light up the secret room.
When they came here before, their attention was focused on the ghost and they didn't look at the secret room very carefully. Looking back now, they found that the work here was actually very rough. The walls were full of holes and pits. It looked like they had been dug directly with a shovel. . The ground is also directly made of mud, but this is probably because the soil quality here is relatively special. The soil is dry and hard, and scratches with sharp objects can only leave shallow marks.
After taking a rough look at the overall appearance of the secret room, Yang Yuyao looked at the place where the bones were piled up. Just by glancing at the skulls with empty eye sockets, he could realize the large number of bones here, and that the ghost boy was not there. They were not sorted carefully, and it could be said that they were all thrown away casually. This can be seen from the corpse that still has flesh and has not completely turned into bones. Moreover, Yang Yuyao suspected that the corpse was probably that of the girl named Deng Jiao.
Yang Yuyao walked towards the place where the bones were stacked. The girl's body had already shown slight decay, but I don't know what method the Hundred-faced Ghost used. It had to be very close to smell the faint smell of putrefaction. . The girl was disheveled, but at least most of her body was covered with cloth. The Hundred-faced Ghost defiled his prey purely to achieve what he thought was the ideal state of being able to peel off the face.
The girl's chest had the same wounds as those on the man surnamed Chang, and even on the two corpses of suspected traders that Yang Yuyao and the others encountered outside Naliang Town. I don’t know how those two vendors offended that evil spirit. Yang Yuyao looked at the bones again, and suddenly realized an even more terrifying truth. The bones left in this secret room were only part of the people killed by the evil ghost. In that part, there were other victims who were not chosen but who were killed because they made him unhappy, and died in other places.
Yang Yuyao returned his gaze to the girl's body again. He looked at her face and found that the so-called peeling off the face by the Hundred-faced Ghost was really just peeling off a thin layer of skin. The muscles on the girl's face, The cartilage on the bridge of the nose and even the eyeballs are still preserved. Logically speaking, with only one layer of skin and the facial structure unchanged, it should not be possible to completely reproduce the appearance of the victim's face... Yang Yuyao shook his head vigorously, trying to give this analysis to Get it out of your head, even if this is a fact, the person who did this is a ghost, and it should not be analyzed with common sense.
Yang Yuyao thought for a while and did not touch her. Instead, he took out a piece of plain linen cloth from the space ring that he usually used to pad his tools, and covered it on the girl's body, hiding the girl's embarrassment. A miserable death. Then he looked at the other bones, but there was no such big cloth to cover them, so Yang Yuyao could only use magic to fix them to avoid disturbing their bones during transportation.
Then he cast an invisibility spell to hide them first. It was no longer possible to transport so many things back at once with magic alone, so Yang Yuyao used his spiritual power to outline a temporary teleportation formation to transport himself and everything here. The bones were passed back to the yamen together.
"What did that beautiful immortal master say?"
"It seems to be going to the place where the evil spirits hid the victims' bones."
"Will Jiaojiao be there?"
"I don't know..."
The Deng couple chatted in a low voice. He Qianqing glanced at the man named Chu Zijin out of the corner of his eyes. It was as if Yang Yuyao had sent a message asking him to pay more attention. The silence was indeed not right. As a mortal, the scholar-like man seemed to have a good appearance, but now his face was full of depression, and he stood quietly next to the Deng couple.
The hundred-faced ghost was once again silenced by He Qianqing. With his ghostly energy suppressed by the talisman, he lay on the ground, his eyes rolling around, wondering what he was thinking.
The sudden light on the ground outlined the shape of the formation. Although they didn't know the specific situation, these people still instinctively chose to avoid it. So Yang Yuyao appeared again in the light, and the light illuminated his beautiful face, making him even more unique. Everyone was watching him intently, not noticing anything else here.
"Did you bring them all here?" He Qianqing asked. Awakened the rest of the people from their state of addiction to Yang Yuyao.
"Bring over everyone who was there." Yang Yuyao replied, then looked at the Deng family and his wife, struggled for a while, and couldn't speak.
"Do you want to identify the body?" He Qianqing asked for Yang Yuyao. The Deng family trembled, as if they were about to faint again, but they still resisted. Chu Zijin's face instantly turned pale.
"...If you want it, where should we find it?" Master Deng forced himself to ask.
"Let's look here first." Yang Yuyao gritted his teeth and said, pointing to the place covered with linen. With He Qianqing's help in starting, it was not that difficult to say it. "The situation is rather miserable. Please be prepared before watching. Also, do you need to ask others to avoid it first?"
The Deng couple were stunned for a moment, then raised their tearful eyes to look at Yang Yuyao, their expressions full of gratitude. In terms of age, this couple is actually only in their thirties. Compared with most mortals in this world, most people get married very young and have children too early. So they were still so young, but their children had already reached the age where they could talk about marriage. However, this time it was a huge blow to them. After realizing that their eldest daughter might have died, the two of them looked as if they had grown old instantly. Several decades old, his steps are staggering.
"No, there's no need to bother Master Immortal. Thank you, Master Immortal, for taking care of my daughter's dignity. I will never forget your kindness and kindness!" The two of them knelt down again and looked deeply towards Yang Yu. Yao kowtowed a few times, and the young man bowed his hands to Yang Yuyao. Then they slowly walked towards the linen cloth and tremblingly opened it.
Basically, everyone has a unique mark on their body or wears a special token. Outsiders like them may not recognize it, but people who are extremely close can still recognize it. Yang Yuyao was actually not sure that the person under the sackcloth was Deng Jiao. He only inferred from the use of Deng Jiao's face by the Hundred-faced Ghost that Deng Jiao should be the last victim to be kidnapped and killed. And in the secret room , the freshest thing is this corpse.
Yang Yuyao silently walked closer to He Qianqing. After about a cup of tea, the Deng couple and Chu Zijin called the girl's name and began to cry.
"Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao! It's all dad's fault. Daddy shouldn't have taken her back!" Mr. Deng patted his thigh and cried, while Mrs. Deng's wife kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief and burst into tears. Chu Zijin stood up unsteadily with tears in his eyes. However, the Deng family, who were immersed in their own sorrow, did not notice his movements at all. Although the county magistrate and several of his officials who were forced to work overtime noticed Chu Zijin, Chu Zijin stood up unsteadily. However, Zijin didn't pay much attention to his actions until Chu Zijin slammed his head into the nearest pillar.
The officials quickly tried to stop him, but were one step short. However, due to the intervention of He Qianqing, who had been paying attention to his condition due to Yang Yuyao's mention, Chu Zijin finally failed to commit suicide by hitting a pillar. He no longer remained silent and cried hysterically that he would die for Deng Jiao.
"Zijin! Zijin, don't be like this. Jiaojiao doesn't want you to give up your life like this!" Mr. Deng and his wife tried to persuade them while holding back their grief.
"Zijin, think about your parents, think about your future! You are a juren! You have a bright future!"
"It seems pretty awesome to be able to pass the Juren Examination." Yang Yuyao vaguely remembered that he had to pass the Scholarship Examination before he could take the Juren Examination, but he had not learned about it in detail and was not very sure.
"Yes, after all, you can become an official when you are elected. For ordinary people, it can be regarded as a life-changing thing, but it is a bit strange..." He Qianqing looked at Chu Zijin who was forcibly held down to stop seeking death.
"What's weird?" Yang Yuyao asked in confusion.
"Normally, this time period should be when the general examination is over and the palace examination is about to take place, but he is not in the royal capital. Even if he fails the general examination, he should not be able to return so quickly." He Qianqing replied.
"Maybe he didn't go to the exam?" Yang Yuyao said uncertainly.
"Are the two immortal masters wondering about this matter? I can answer this question for you. Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation." The man who looked like a master said.
"It doesn't matter." He Qianqing replied. If they minded, they would just use voice transmission. "Why is this so?"
"The thing is, this year's spring coincides with the Empress Dowager's 60th birthday. Your Majesty is going to hold a grand banquet to celebrate her birthday, so she ordered the general examination and palace examination to be postponed for one year and start at the same time next year." The man replied .
"I see, thank you for your answer." Yang Yuyao understood.
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, Master Immortal is too polite." The man said with cupped hands.
Regardless of whether the emperor of the Min Kingdom was right or wrong in doing so, the absence of the imperial examination and the palace examination this year means that Chu Zijin did not fail the imperial examination. Judging from his age, it should be the first time he participated in the imperial examination, which means that his status as a candidate is more valuable. He and Deng Jiao were supposed to be a beautiful story about a talented man and a beautiful woman, a lover and a concubine. Unfortunately, God's will caused the two to be separated from each other.
The ghost boy, whose limbs were destroyed by He Qianqing and controlled by Yang Yuyao's talisman, could not use his ghost energy and couldn't even make a sound. Looking at the tragedy he had caused, he kept laughing silently at the sorrow of others. But it made him feel great pleasure.
"Master, I seem to be a little tired." Yang Yuyao retracted his gaze that fell on the Hundred-faced Ghost for a moment, and communicated with He Qianqing that he was not really tired, but he just didn't seem to be keeping this guy for more. A long time.
"Okay, then I'll remind them to fight quickly." He Qianqing understood what Yang Yuyao really meant, but he also followed Yang Yuyao's words and responded. Then he began to force the evil boy to change the faces he had taken away from him one by one. Upon seeing this, the man who looked like a master quickly picked up a pen and paper and wanted to draw it, but was stopped by He Qianqing. That was too inefficient. It was much more convenient to directly take a picture with Xunlian and then print it on paper with a printer pen.
As the name of the Hundred-Faced Ghost suggests, their faces can keep changing, but if they need to get a new face, they must take it from a person. This hundred-faced ghost is keen on breaking the news but is extremely resistant to the request to change back to the face he had before and refuses to cooperate. But Yang Yuyao and the others also have a trump card. After urgent training with his friend Taoist Priest Huang Yun, who was born in the Tianshi Sect, who is best at exorcising ghosts, He Qianqing successfully obtained a method that made the Hundred-faced Ghost have to change its other faces. Feeling that his face was forced to change, the fierce ghost boy's face was filled with humiliation, and his eyes were full of hatred as he stared at He Qianqing. But He Qianqing simply ignored his gaze until it turned into an ugly face and no new face appeared again.
"Where are the other people's faces?" Yang Yuyao took a look at the pictures and asked, "You killed more than a hundred people in your secret room, but you can only change more than sixty faces." Then Yang Yu Yao temporarily removed the ban on the fierce ghost boy.
"I didn't like those faces anymore, so I melted them away." The young man smiled, staring directly at Yang Yuyao's face, as if he was completely unaware of the plight of himself as the prisoner, and still wanted to melt Yang Yuyao's face. Yao's face was obtained.
"In this case, you are useless." He Qianqing suddenly unsheathed his sword, frightening these mortals. But He Qianqing is proficient in swordsmanship, how could he hurt them? In the blink of an eye, this fierce ghost was wiped out under He Qianqing's sword, leaving no trace. Yang Yuyao asked the master for paper, and used a printer pen to print the recorded faces on the paper one by one under the surprised eyes of the master and the county magistrate, and handed it to them. Then the invisibility technique that had been used to hide the other bones was removed. Looking at the number of bones, everyone in the yamen gasped.
"If there is no accident, these corpses should all be people who were killed by the Hundred-faced Ghost after taking away their faces. In addition, I speculate that there should be some who were also killed by him, but because his faces were not taken by him, they were not taken away. People who left. Therefore, there may be more specific victims." Yang Yuyao explained, trying to slow down the speed of his speech that was involuntarily accelerated due to uneasiness. "I don't know much about your case handling requirements, so in the future, you can just handle it in your own way."
"Thank you two immortal masters for your help, which has eliminated a great harm to our county!" The county magistrate bowed deeply and saluted with great gratitude. If he can no longer see that these two people are helping them intentionally, he might as well resign and go home to farm. This young man punched him without even a red mark, but he was so fierce that he couldn't withstand He Qianqing's sword. If he hadn't begged for these unfortunate people, To be fair, the evil ghost had been destroyed when they met them.
Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing stopped asking about what happened after that, but they couldn't leave so quickly. Mr. Gao didn't know which muscle was wrong and he must treat them well. Yang Yuyao and the others worked hard to refuse. He changed it to giving gifts, so they reluctantly accepted the tea, cloth and a pipa, and Mr. Gao finally stopped pestering them.
Yang Yuyao was actually willing to eat delicious food, but it would not be so enjoyable to eat with people he didn't know well. Moreover, Master Gao was very strange. Others would not take him out even if they had a group of wives and concubines, so they had to take at most Although he brought his male favorites with him, Mr. Gao took his wife and at least one concubine with him wherever he went. So it's definitely very stressful to have dinner with him.
Just after seeing off Master Gao, they welcomed Master Deng and his wife. Fortunately, they chose to give them gifts directly to thank them, and told them about the two girls Deng Jiao and Deng Mu.
