Where are the monsters?

Late at night, inn.

Mu Feng sat in the waiter's seat, he hoped that that ghostly woman would come to stay again tonight.

Earlier, the shopkeeper finally said something about the woman's speculation.This inn has been around for some years. It has been run by the grandfather of the shopkeeper since the Qing Dynasty, and it has been open until now.

"Mr. Mu, my inn has been open for 100 years. I don't dare to say that there is no deceit. Sometimes I have been greedy for some small money, but I have never done anything to seek wealth and murder. The only murder case in our place It was ten years ago, when I had just taken over the inn from my father.

Up to now, I still remember the appearance of that woman, she was very beautiful, she looked like she came from a rich family, she was wearing a married woman's bun, but the color of her clothes was a little worn out.The country is so chaotic these days, and there are many people who are down in their families. It is not surprising at all.She stayed in the inn for three days and said she was waiting for someone, but no one came until late at night on the third day. On the fourth day, when Xiaoer brought her food, she was found dead in the room. "

Mu Feng memorized every detail of the shopkeeper's memories. The room where the woman lived was the same as the room where the female ghost stayed in yesterday's room. Even the time of staying was very close, all at night.The shopkeeper couldn't remember exactly when the woman entered the store, but only remembered that it was also at night.Speaking of the cause of death, the woman died of taking poison.The Xiaoer now is not the one ten years ago, and it is impossible to tell if they have the same face.

The shopkeeper didn't go home tonight, he hid in the room, Mu Feng sat behind the counter, just wanted to see if the female ghost would come again.

Three minutes before eleven o'clock yesterday, the woman knocked on the door of the store, "Dong Dong Dong—", the shopkeeper inside trembled, and there really was a knock on the door in the middle of the night.

Mu Feng didn't have much fear. He hoped that he appeared in this world because of this female ghost, so if he got rid of her, he could leave.

As soon as he opened the door, Mu Feng saw a very beautiful woman, who was almost the same as the shopkeeper's description, the only difference was that the woman's eyes were very empty.As long as you take a closer look, you can find that she has no shadow!

This is a female ghost!Xiao Er must have been fascinated by beauty yesterday, and didn't realize this terrifying fact.

"I want a room, here is the rent." The woman's voice unconsciously carried a sense of sadness, which made her look a little pitiful. This kind of sadness was not pretended, but enveloped her whole body. only ghost.

The wooden seal took over the stack of French currency. This is a very brand new stack of legal currency. The wooden seal glanced at them and they were numbered, as if they had just been taken out of the bank.He has some doubts about these legal coins, but let's invite this female ghost into the room first.

"Go this way." Mu Feng led the way with his body on his side, and when he turned his head, he saw the shopkeeper with a half-blue face poking his head out of the room and giving him a wink.That's right, this is the woman who committed suicide back then.

Mu Feng sent the female ghost to the door of the room, and the female ghost walked in. When she was about to close the door, Mu Feng suddenly used the trick of trapping the fairy chain, and tied the female ghost tightly!

"Ah—" The female ghost's cry was extremely shrill. Seeing that she was about to dissipate, the wooden seal loosened after thinking about it. At this time, she could no longer solidify, and could only kneel on the ground like a phantom. on the ground.

"What did you do, ten years have passed, why did you come back to this place!"

The female ghost was trapped by the fairy chain, and most of the ghost energy in her body was lost, so she didn't have the strength to answer Mu Feng's question.

Mu Feng originally wanted to get rid of this ghost directly, but he had an extra mind, if this ghost was not the root cause of his coming here, he had to dig some clues from her first.Only then did he remove the Chain of Trapping Immortals, he didn't expect to use this pair of ghosts so powerfully, he could kill most of his life as soon as he touched his body.

Mu Feng had no choice but to take out the wasted iron fan, and slapped it in the direction of the female ghost a few times.Just as he thought, this fan can increase the ghost energy and allow the female ghost to condense into reality again. "Let's not waste time. If you tell the truth, I can give you a relief."

"Relief?" The female ghost Youyou got up from the ground, she seemed in a trance, and seemed to ignore the pain that almost knocked her out of her mind just now, "I'm waiting for Zou Lang, he will definitely come, definitely will come."

Mu Feng felt bad, this female ghost didn't have any fear at all, she probably lost her soul, she just survived with her last obsession.This kind of ghost who has lost the heart of fear can only be regarded as a half-ghost, unlike the one on Zhang Ruru I met before, who has a clear mind.

"I can help you find Zou Lang. What clues can you give me? What is Zou Lang's full name, and how did you meet?"

Mu Feng asked the question without hope, the half-ghost's memory is incomplete, so he may not remember all of them.Unexpectedly, this female ghost's obsession with Zou Lang was deep enough, and she still remembered this past event.

"Zou Lang is my benefactor. We agreed to go far away together. I was going to die. If he hadn't helped me, I would have been caught and hanged."

When Mu Feng saw the female ghost sinking into the memory, the ghost's face unexpectedly had a look of joy.

Decades ago, the old and the new alternated. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the female ghost’s surname was Wu. Wu Niang married into a wealthy family. This husband’s family was chosen by the Wu family for Wu Niang after a long time. The family tradition does not take concubines easily, so he married his daughter.

The third young master Wu Niang married was a progressive young man. He was influenced by new western thoughts and was very dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by his family.

Later, at a literary meeting, the third young master met a female college student, and the two quickly sparked off. At this time, Mrs. Wu was already pregnant, but the third young master wanted to divorce Mrs. Wu, so that she would not become her own progress and freedom. stumbling block.

That's right, that family doesn't have the tradition of taking concubines, but the third young master thinks that he has caught up with the right time, that he can get a divorce at this time, and he has the right to pursue his own happiness instead of being feudal.

Madam Wu was brought up according to the three obediences and four virtues. She didn't know what to do when she fell into this field. She asked her natal family for help, but her natal family thought it was her fault that she couldn't take good care of the third young master, which made the third young master have ulterior motives.And Mrs. Wu's own mother even disagreed with her daughter's return to her natal home, thinking that if Mrs. Wu was desperate, she might as well hang herself with a rope, so that she would have a reputation as a chaste and loyal woman.

Miss Wu was disheartened, and on the night she was about to hang herself, she happened to meet Xiao Zou, a burglar.This is a thief who robs the rich and helps the poor. He didn't expect to be hanged. This is a life, but a dead body and two lives. The thief Zou rescued Miss Wu who was hanged, and even took her out with her.Perhaps the old adage really came true. Every time Zheng Yi was a dog slaughterer, he was mostly a scholar. Zou Xiaozei actually took the burden of taking care of Wu Niangzi.

The female ghost murmured, "That child didn't survive, and died of typhoid fever when he was one year old. Zou Lang comforted me and said that there will always be children in the future. He has a good ability. I don't want him to be killed like this." Buried, I hope he can join the army and make his own career. We plan to go to the south to have a look. He met an old friend that day and asked him to help with something. We agreed to meet in the inn. Three days later He will come to pick me up, but he has not come, I have to wait for him."

Never believe the one-sided words of a ghost!

This is not just empirical talk, but also has a logical theoretical basis.Because the soul is damaged, many ghosts have incomplete memory, and don't expect them to think clearly.

Mu Feng felt that he was really a calm and over-the-top person. After hearing Wu Niang's few words but deeply sad stories, his first reaction was to find two loopholes in it. First, why did Wu Niang take poison to commit suicide? It has been ten years since the second, why is it haunted at this time.

"You are dead." Mu Feng said bluntly, "You committed suicide by taking poison, so you knew that Zou Lang would not come back, and you committed suicide after losing hope in life. So what is the reason for you to reappear in the world! Ten years have passed, and it is neither too early nor too late for you to appear again at this time!"

"No! Zou Lang won't abandon me!" Mrs. Wu went crazy when she heard that Zou Lang would not come.

Without pity at all, Mu Feng gave Wu Niang another trick to trap the fairy chain, after making her blur, he took out a small fan to replenish her ghost energy.

"I said that I can find Zou Lang for you, and tell me who made you return to the world! If you still have a semblance of reason, you should understand that if Zou Lang loves you, he will not leave you behind. There must have been an accident, so I didn’t come looking for you, I can help you find out what happened inside, provided you tell the truth.”

Wu Niang was obviously a little confused, after she chanted Zou Lang a lot, she finally regained her senses. "I committed suicide back then, because I knew he would never come back. He encountered a dangerous incident. His friend was from the world. That person was seriously injured. He wanted to send a message. Zou Lang answered The task was done, and the location is not far from the outskirts of Xi'an. If he can come back safely, it will only take five or six hours, but we have set a three-day plan. If he can't come back, I will leave alone.

I wanted to persuade him not to go, but he had to go because of the importance of the matter.In fact, I knew in my heart that he might not be able to come back after leaving, so I bought arsenic in advance.The only person who gave me warmth in this life is Zou Lang. Without him, my life is just a joke, so why continue. "

Wu Niang became fully awake when she remembered the cause of her death, "Although I am determined to die, I still feel unwilling to leave. A few days ago, I suddenly received some legal currency. No one has burned paper money for me these years. After getting these paper money, I can show up in the world again. I am obsessed with waiting for Zou Lang in the inn, and he will come naturally Stay here."

"You mean someone burned the legal currency to you?" Mu Feng felt a little unbelievable. There are many things about burning paper money for ghosts, but for them to burn money for living people, even if the legal currency is worthless, it will be a few years later. Now people are at most unwilling to use it for fear of its depreciation, but burning a lot of legal currency is a new thing.

Mu Feng remembered an anecdote from Ying Ni's family book collection, saying that in the old days, someone burned a bank note to a dead relative, who would have thought that the bank note would actually be exchanged.

And there is a saying that there are two kinds of so-called underworld banknotes. In the underworld, the burned paper money circulates, while in the underworld ghosts can use the money used by the burned living people.

It seems that this inference is true, because the female ghost has obtained the legal currency that can be used in the yang world, so she has the opportunity to appear in the yang world.

Mu Feng thought of that regulation, no wonder it was later stipulated that RMB cannot be destroyed, is this to prevent the occurrence of ghosts?

Mu Feng just diverted his thinking a little bit, but now the person who burned the legal currency became the key point, "Is this legal currency specially burned for you?"

"It's not." Wu Niang has been wandering around the inn, but her activities are not limited to the inn. When she floated outside the city, she saw someone burning money, "That person is for lonely ghosts, I can hear clearly, he said that everyone can use it. Not only me, but other ghosts also got the legal currency, but not all the ghosts who got the money can show up in the world, and I can’t tell who can and who can’t.

I should be leaving now. I can't see Zou Lang's soul in the past ten years, and I can't wait for his living body. Let him continue to wait.This gentleman, Zou Lang's full name is Zou Heng. I don't know what news he was going to spread back then. I only know that someone is going to do a very dangerous thing. This thing is despised by people in the world and must be stopped.If Mr. wants to investigate this matter clearly, I only have these clues. "

At this moment, Wu Niang finally remembered the cause of her death, and let go of her obsession. Without obsession, the ghost would not have the intention to stay in the world, so she was going to leave naturally.

Mu Feng looked at Wu Niang who just disappeared by waving her sleeves, not to mention her chest tightness.

"This is really miserable!" The shopkeeper who eavesdropped at the door sighed. When Mu Feng opened the door and saw Xiao Er was there, his eyes were even redder. It was obvious that Wu Niang's story just now made them very sad.

"It's all about progress and freedom. There are a lot of women who have been ruined by this over the years!" The shopkeeper seemed to have seen a lot of such tragedies, and after hearing such a ghost story, he vomited bitterly, "I just can't stand it. Those progressive young people say that they want to be free in love. If he has the ability, he should not marry him in the past. He made his belly bigger, and he also fell in love with female college students, saying that they have a common language. You have the ability to resist early. If my boy dares If you do this, you must break his leg!"

"Shopkeeper, I understand why there are always more female ghosts than male ghosts." Xiaoer even began to analyze, "There are too many women suffering these days. They all say that the feudal dynasty was not good in the past. At that time, women had to obey three virtues, But now that the Republic of China is here, it’s not the same, they always abandon the old when they have newcomers! I don’t know what happened to Zou Lang, Wu Niang has waited for him all these years and hasn’t waited for him.”

"Okay, your child's hair is not fully grown, so you understand this." The shopkeeper saw that the wooden seal was silent, and then realized that the posture between him and the child was a bit weird, and they both kept holding the door frame.The shopkeeper hurriedly said seriously, "Ahem, Mr. Mu is a great talent. He helped the shop solve the haunting. These few days, Mr.'s accommodation is free. Let me show my heart."

For the shopkeeper and waiter who were a little off-line, Mu Feng didn't know what to say except shaking his head, and he could only sigh for what happened to Wu Niang. It's not easy being a man, and it's even more difficult being a woman.Maybe he should be thankful that he is a man.

As for people living in this world, no matter which era is good, it may not be the best era for them, but it is already the best era.

Wu Niang's current experience is certainly worthy of sympathy, but Mu Feng is even more sympathetic to his own experience. He is unwilling to be trapped in this era. Although there are not many things that hinder him in future generations, he wants to finish his university and help Di Jiang found his head, he hadn't seen Xiao Huang born yet.

If he disappeared, someone would still remember it, right?His grandfather will be sad, maybe shopkeeper Zhang will help find him immediately, his roommate will also worry about where he went, Di Jiang will complain that the head finder who is not easy to wait for is missing, Ying Ni will also say why he just returned Once on Hong Kong Island, the two didn't even say goodbye, so they couldn't meet again.

He is no longer a carefree person, he wants to go home.

Although he didn't know who the person who burned the paper money was, Mu Feng didn't believe that there would be no one who could help.

In fact, ever since Mu Feng stepped out of science and entered a weird world, he has always had a question, when and why did the so-called cessation of ascension opportunities come about?Have the monks made any effort to find another way out when the earth's aura is exhausted.

Even so, not all people will disappear, there will always be people staying, just like Di Jiang, staying on the earth for various reasons, or staying in the space of the Huaxia Realm.

And if there are strange people, where are they when the country is in danger?

This is a further question raised after Mufeng came to this era.Later, because of the ten-year Cultural Revolution and the raging wars before, more things became a mystery. Maybe he came to this era to solve this mystery.
