Jiajing Spiritual Records
Chapter 43
Although it was still noon, the sky outside was already dark.The flickering candlelight cut off the darkness outside, leaving a long shadow on the wall, thus completely covering the lobby into another square world.
The atmosphere fell into a strange dead silence. At this time, no one made a sound in the lobby, and everyone's eyes were tightly locked on the figure on the wall.
Outside the hall, the gusty wind was howling like a devil, making the carved wooden windows "crack".Inside the hall, the candles were flickering, reflecting on the face of the birthday boy on the wall, revealing a strange smile.
Staring at the looming figure on the wall, Ning Huan already had a secret guess in his heart, he pursed his lips and silently glanced at Su Xian at the side.Su Xian's indifferent gaze swept over the anxious faces of the other three people one by one, he snorted coldly, drew out his knife and walked straight towards the other side of the wall.
"Kacha" the sharp short blade instantly sank into the gap where Qingshi turned his head, "It's empty inside." Su Xian said.
There was another crisp sound of "click", a new brick shattered in half, rolled down the wall, and fell to the ground with a "pop"...
As the bluestone bricks fell, the new wall was gradually pulled down, and the figure inside finally revealed his true colors.First there was the shriveled half of the forehead, and then the white eyes. When all the new bricks were pried off, an old man's body fell from it. He was curled up tightly, his limbs were in a deformed shape, The head was twisted behind the back...
Ning Huan took a deep breath.
"Gu, old man Gu..." the skinny monkey stammered out his name loudly, and his whole body was trembling like sifting chaff, and he knelt down. He suddenly looked at the poisonous widow next to him in panic, and pulled She said with her hand: "We, are we all going to die?"
"What's the noise!" The poisonous widow frowned and kicked the skinny monkey, cursing angrily, "You trash."
Even so, her trembling hands still betrayed the fear in her heart at this moment.The poisonous widow turned her head, she stared at Su Xian, and asked, "Old man Gu, did you kill him?"
Hearing this, Su Xian sneered: "You can't see whether it was a human or a ghost who killed him, right?"
The poisonous widow gritted her teeth, and was choked for a moment, unable to speak, this way of death... Her complexion changed slightly, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Then tell me, where is this ghost?"
Su Xian calmly dragged the chair next to him and sat down, his gaze swept across the old man's body indifferently: "I have to ask you this question, where is the ghost?"
Su Xian raised his eyelids, glanced at everyone, and said, "I never mentioned ghosts from the beginning to the end? On the contrary, everyone keeps talking about ghosts." Su Xian's eyes fell on the thin monkey who was silent like a cicada On the body, he raised the corners of his mouth, and asked pretending to be puzzled: "Could it be that you have something to hide? Oh, now that old man Gu and Jin Tieshi are dead, if there are no accidents, we will return tonight tonight." Everyone wants to live, so it's better to be honest with each other." Suxian tapped the seat of the grand master's chair with his index finger, and smiled lazily with his lips curled up, "By the way, I have a bad temper. If I’m not feeling well, no one will feel better about it.”
"I, I..." The thin monkey staggered back a step when he was swept away by Su Xian's gaze, and he turned to look at the poisonous widow as if asking for help.
The poisonous widow frowned, looked at Su Xian in silence for a while, and finally let out a cold snort: "What do you want to know?"
"Who set up this seven-player game?" Su Xian asked with his chin propped up.
"A round of seven?" All three were taken aback, looking at Su Xian suspiciously.
The poisonous widow frowned and said, "I don't know what seven-player game you're talking about." After thinking for a while, she continued, "But we came here because we were invited by Li Yun, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Bodyguard Bureau."
Li Yun?Su Xian and Ning Huan quickly exchanged a look in tacit understanding.
"You don't know?" The poisonous widow looked at Su Xian with a little puzzled tone, "Didn't you come here for the thing that happened ten years ago?"
"Yes." Su Xian replied casually, "But Li Yun is already dead."
Speaking of this, Ning Huan couldn't help but feel a little bit troubled. Is this seven-player game real or fake?
"Of course he's dead, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hand over that treasure." The thin monkey whispered to the side, "After that treasure disappeared ten years ago, the few of us suspected that it was Li Yun who did it. Hmph, otherwise why? It would be such a coincidence that when he walked away, the treasure disappeared. Sure enough, Li Yun died suddenly a few days ago, and each of us received an invitation letter, saying that he hid the treasure here before he died. Let us Whoever finds it among the seven will belong to him."
The thin monkey coughed a few times, and continued in a hoarse voice: "I didn't expect that there would be one more person in the end." He paused, raised his head, and glanced at Su Xian cautiously with his eyeballs, " From the beginning, we planned to get rid of you guys first, and then plan after we found that treasure. But we didn’t expect Jin Tieshi to die on the first night.” After speaking, he frowned worriedly and sighed a long time. tone.
"What's the matter with that ghost?" Suxian asked.
The thin monkey glanced at the poisonous widow and Jiang Ning, and saw that neither of them responded, so he said: "Speaking of the invitation letter that Li Yun gave is also weird, there is double happiness written on the Dabai cover, making it look like a wedding invitation There are also four small words in it to tell us to "be careful of ghosts". We didn't pay attention to it at first, but, only after Jiang Tieshi died, we had to believe it."
Wedding invitation?Dabai's Double Happiness?Ning Huan's mind suddenly flashed the image of the ghost marriage in Wang's residence three days ago, but what does Wang Sheng's ghost marriage have to do with Li Yun's death?The game of seven, the wedding invitation, ten years ago, Ning Huan frowned and thought to himself, what is the relationship between them?
Ning Huan was still in a daze.On the other side, Su Xian had already walked up to Old Man Gu's body, he used a blade to push aside the curled up body, after looking at it for a while, he raised his head and said, "His left hand is missing."
"The left hand is missing?" The poisonous widow stared at the corpse on the ground, and slowly frowned.
"So, this ghost, every time it kills a person, it takes a part of the body?" Ning Huan pointed out in doubt.
Su Xian raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard the words, looked at Ning Huan and asked curiously: "What do you say?"
Ning Huan pursed his lips and pointed at the corpse on the ground: "This one has lost his left hand." Then he turned around reluctantly and pointed to the mahogany Eight Immortals table in the distance, "Although you can't see that one, but With his size, there are definitely not only these broken limbs and arms."
Su Xian stared at Old Man Gu's amputated left arm thoughtfully.The poisonous widow frowned. She walked around anxiously in the hall for two steps, and finally looked at Su Xian, asking, "What should we do next? We can't just sit here and wait for death."
Hearing this, Su Xian raised his head and said, "There are no more clues in the lobby, so I'm going to look in the small building on the south side."
The skinny monkey's expression changed drastically when he heard the words, and he was shocked and hurriedly stopped him: "I can't go, I can't go! There are strange things in that small building. Jiang and Jiang Tie's corpses died there."
Ning Huan Suxian was taken aback when he heard that, he always thought that Jiang Tieshi died in his room, but he didn't expect it to be in the small building on the south side.
The thin monkey stomped his feet like a broken pot: "To be honest, I don't want this baby anymore. Whoever wants this fucking love, I just want to live. In the small building on the south side, Jiang Tie and I In fact, the corpse had already been there on the first night, and came out after looking around without finding anything unusual, but I didn't expect Jiang Tieshi to disappear after coming out." He sighed, "I didn't realize it at the time either. Seeing that something happened to him, I just thought he was unwilling and went back to look for it alone, but I didn't care. But the next day..."
"Then old man Gu from last night?" Su Xian asked.
The thin monkey hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "I really don't know about old man Gu. I hid in the room last night and didn't take a step to open the door. Hey, who knows if it's because old man Gu was lost in his own way I went to the small building on the south side."
Ning Huan thought to himself, sure enough, there is a problem there.Now that Daoist Xukong is nowhere to be seen in the ancient house, it is very likely that he is in the small building on the south side.
"Ning Huan, let's go." Su Xian greeted Ning Huan softly.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Ning, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke out.
Jiang Ning?Ning Huan stood beside Su Xian, frowning and quietly looking at Jiang Ning.
This person has been acting strangely since the beginning, and has always wanted to get close to them. Although he claims to be a teacher, ten years ago he was just an ordinary accountant under the head of the escort, but Ning Huan felt that he was not that simple.Regardless of whether he was familiar with the poisonous widow and the thin monkey or not, his reaction to the corpses of old man Gu and Jiang Tieshi was too calm.
"The small building on the south side." Su Xian replied.
"You, aren't you looking for death?" The thin monkey shook his head, muttering anxiously.
"I'll go with you," Jiang Ning said.
The poisonous widow glanced at Jiang Ning with a complicated complexion, slowly frowned, and said, "I'll go too."
"Poisonous widow... hey! You all went, leaving me alone?" The thin monkey glanced at the old man's body on the ground anxiously, gritted his teeth, and said, "Then I will go too. "
The atmosphere fell into a strange dead silence. At this time, no one made a sound in the lobby, and everyone's eyes were tightly locked on the figure on the wall.
