After nightfall, Boya and Qingming got into the bullock cart.

The bullock cart was moving forward on the bluestone road, making a rattling sound, which made the surroundings more and more silent.

"Qingming, do you want to do that 'Fang Bi' today?"

"Exactly."

The so-called "Fang Violation" is a method of using the direction of the car to avoid disasters in the Yin and Yang Tao.After using the road in the middle of Beijing to repeat it many times, you can reach the underworld where the ghosts are.

Qingming and Boya once came together to solve the Yingtianmen toad incident, and that was the first time Boya saw "Hundred Ghosts at Night".

"Don't worry, today is not the day when Tianyishen shifts its direction, and there will be no earth spirits to ask questions. If you encounter Hundred Ghosts Night Walk again, remember not to make a sound."

"But Qingming, Ping'an capital is so big, where should we go to find someone?"

"I don't know about this at the moment." Qingming replied, "Let's go and investigate near the places where a few women were killed."

The ox cart circled the criss-crossed roads in the capital and kept turning and detouring, traveling like this for more than half an hour.

Suddenly, Boya felt the speed of the ox cart slowed down, and the sound of the wheels running over the ground that had been heard just now disappeared all of a sudden.If you want to describe it, it feels like the car is rising from the ground.

"It seems to have entered the 'yin state'." Seimei said.

Entering the "yin state" means entering the underworld where ghosts live. At this time, if you open the curtain to check, you can see monsters of different shapes living in Beijing. If ordinary people accidentally make a sound in front of ghosts, It will be swallowed up in an instant.

Seimei's ox cart has an enchantment he has set up, so as long as he is in the cart, he can still talk freely.

"We should be near the four main roads now."

"Hey, Seimei, how do you plan to investigate?"

"It's too time-consuming to get out of the car and inquire one by one. Why don't you sit in the bullock cart and listen to what the ghosts along the road have to say."

"Eh? Is this kind of thing possible?"

"Yes." Qingming said, "It's just that this is not a pleasant experience, Boya must be patient."

Qingming took out the folding fan from her bosom, gently pressed it to her lips, and then said in a low voice: "Go out of the dark and into the dark, listen to the ghosts, the ghosts in all directions, there is nowhere to hide, hurry like a law!"

Boya felt the direction of the air flow around him suddenly change. It seemed that a little bit of wind was blowing into the car, but the car curtain didn't move at all.

After a while, many strange voices came from their ears.

"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, where can I eat people..."

"Compared to the flesh on the human body, I really like the eyes more!"

"The noble man I ate last year is really tender and delicious!"

Listening to these uncomfortable words with her mouth tightly pursed, Boya finally understood what Seimei meant.Although he knew it was safe to be in the car, the sound seemed so close to him that it still made him very uncomfortable.

They wandered around the four main roads for a while, and heard many similar conversations, but there was no information about the ghost.

"It seems that we can't find out here." Qingming said.

Then, the ox cart turned from Sisiao Road to Meixiao Road, and headed towards Qisiao Road.

There are far fewer ghosts on Mei Xiao Road than on Si Tiao Road, and the road is much quieter.

The bullock cart drove to Liutiao Road, just when Boya thought he was going to get nothing tonight, suddenly the voices of two ghosts came from the car.

"Hey, did you see it? The one on Qitiao Avenue last night."

"You mean something like that black mist?"

"Yeah, that's what I saw on Mibu Road before. I heard that a young woman was eaten last night."

Hearing this, Boya's heart trembled, and he shouted in a low voice: "Qingming!"

"Well, I heard it." Qingming replied in the dark, "It seems that tonight was not in vain."

While the two were talking, the bullock cart had already stopped.

"Shall we go ask them something?"

"That's right, Boya, remember not to make any noise after getting out of the car for a while."

"Well! Even if I bite off my tongue this time, I won't make a sound!" Boya replied solemnly.

After the two got out of the car, they found that there was a dilapidated house in front of them, and there were two monsters standing at the door—one was pale, with disheveled hair, and a long tongue; Petite as a child.

When Qingming and Boya approached quietly, the conversation between the two ghosts continued.

"If only I could fly like that thing."

"Compared to that, I still like the sound of the piano better."

"Can you tell me about that flying thing?" Qingming asked the two ghosts.

"Oh, that thing seems to have only appeared in the capital recently. It is floating in the sky like a black mist. I have never seen it before." The big-headed ghost said, "I also saw it near the Mibu Road a few days ago. Once, even though we were far away, we could still see things clearly in the sky."

"Flying in the sky like a cloud of black mist?"

"Yeah, it flew for a while, then fell, and then flew up again after a while, it must be eating people."

"What's the matter with the piano sound?"

"Every time that thing appears, there will be a piano sonar nearby."

"Oh, the sound of the piano is really nice!" The long-tongued ghost also said, "It should be Tang Zheng's music, it's clear and sweet, and it's "Spring Dew"!"

Hearing the word "Chunlu", Boya almost yelled, but fortunately, Qingming sensed something was wrong, and immediately tugged at the corner of his clothes, Boya was startled and swallowed back the words.

"I was a musician in the palace before I was alive. This song must be "Spring Dew". That's right."

"Did the sound of the piano also appear when it appeared near the Mibu Road?"

"Yeah, there it is, and it's the same song."

"Then where did the ghost go after eating people?"

"That said, it seems to fly in the direction of the piano sound every time."

"So that's the case, thank you both for letting me know."

After the questioning, Qingming and Boya turned around and left, returning to the ox cart.

"Sorry... Qingming, I almost ruined your business just now." Boya was dejected.

"That's okay, but why were you so surprised when you heard the name 'Chunlu' just now?"

"I usually dabble in Zheng music. The song 'Spring Dew' is the top score in Zheng music, which requires extremely high performance skills. As far as I know, there is only one person in Beijing who can play this piece."

"Oh? Who?"

"Miss Yuji, the daughter of Michiaki Fujiwara."
