Demon is too hard

Liu Qingli left on the third day of Gu Qixue's retreat, and she did not forget to give Yan Zhi a glance before leaving.

Yan Chi didn't care about this, and even returned a kind smile to the other party.

Seeing it, Liu Qingli's complexion turned dark.With a cold "hum", he rode away in the wind without looking back.

Mo Ying was watching everything, but Yan Chi was Gu Qixue's sweetheart, and now he didn't catch Yan Chi's fault, and he couldn't make things difficult for him, otherwise when Gu Qixue came out, I don't know what to do with him.

Staring at Yan Zhi with complicated emotions for a long time, Mo Ying only said, "Yan Wanqiu, you'd better get someone else to catch you."

Yan Zhi said slowly: "Master Mo really likes to joke."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mo Ying to say anything else, he bid farewell to him and returned to Yuehua Palace.

When Gu Qixue was away, Yan Chi didn't know what to do for a while, and sat in front of the steps for more than ten days, counting the clouds passing by in the sky.

Seeing how boring he is all day long, both Yun Yang and Qian Yuan couldn't bear to see him, and they got together to discuss taking him down the mountain.

Under the threat of Yunyang's softness and Qianyuan's implication, Yan Chi had no choice but to compromise, and followed the two down the mountain.

Although Wangxian Mountain is a fairy mountain, it is not isolated from the world. Not far from the mountain is a prosperous city named Yuzhou.

The city of Yuzhou was extremely lively, people were coming and going on the long street, and the sound of hawking and talking had not stopped for a moment since the three of them entered the city gate.

Yan Chi's head hurt from the noise, and he frowned unconsciously.

"It's such a noisy place, what's the difference?" Yan Zhi endured and endured until he couldn't bear it anymore, and finally expressed his dissatisfaction directly with his mouth.

Yun Yang said: "It's always good to go out for a walk. You sit outside the door and count the clouds every day. I'm afraid you'll be depressed."

"You think too much."

"To put it another way, I'm afraid that counting the clouds every day will make you stupid."

"...You don't have to speak."

"I'm afraid you'll get bored if I don't talk, so I'll relieve your boredom. You really don't know what's good and what's wrong!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Qian Yuan suddenly said: "I just heard that the city seems to be haunted recently."

"Haunted?" Yan Chi looked sideways at him, "Where did you hear that?"

"People on the road are talking, you will know if you listen carefully."

After Qian Yuan's reminder, the two of them really heard some talk about haunting.

But, "What does this have to do with us?"

There are so many ghosts lingering in the mortal world, and haunting is a common occurrence. Yan Chi has encountered many such things in the past when he was doing business in the mortal world, but he has never cared about it.

Saving the common people in distress is the work of the fairy clan, and it has nothing to do with him as a demon clan.

"Why doesn't it matter?" Yun Yang said: "Brother Xue will never sit idly by these things, you are now his apprentice in name anyway, if you don't care, won't you ruin Brother Xue's reputation?"

Yan Chi curled his lips, "You immortals are so nosy."

There was a little disdain in Yunyang's eyes, "You don't like being nosy."

"..." She was right, and Yan Zhi couldn't refute.

Yun Yang went on to say: "So you really have to take care of this matter!"

"understood."

Yan Chi walked forward with a blank face, but he was thinking about how to figure out the ins and outs of this matter.

In fact, folk rumors about hauntings are, in all likelihood, random fabrications, but people all over the city are talking about it, so it is definitely not groundless.

If it's not really haunted, then someone is doing it on purpose.

The three of them heard a lot of theories about haunting in the city today, among which two theories are the most common and the most convincing.

One is that the treasured third young master of the Shen family, the richest man in Yuzhou City, forced to marry a girl from a good family. The girl hanged herself on the wedding night, but the resentment could not be dispelled, so she turned into a ghost and stayed in the city waiting for an opportunity to demand the life of the third young master.

There is another one that is not so bloody, but in comparison, the ghost in this statement seems to be worse than the other one.

However, it also has a lot to do with the richest man in Yuzhou City.It is said that Shen Yi, the young master of the richest man's family, was framed and died in vain, and he was unwilling to do so, so his ghost lingered all the time.

"I heard that Shen Yi has been dead for three months. The Shen family also invited many monks and priests to exorcise ghosts, but it was of no use at all."

In the inn, Yun Yang walked over from the adjacent table and sat down, lowered his voice and talked with Qian Yuanyan about what he had just inquired about.

"If this is true, how many people in the world do you think have the ability to exorcise ghosts?"

"It's true." Yun Yang nodded, "Fake Taoist priests and monks are doing well, but those who are really capable are about to starve to death."

Hearing her solemn sigh, Yan Zhi's eyes gradually deepened.

He pointedly said: "The little princess is very familiar with the affairs of the mortal world, and it really doesn't seem like she is a rare person."

Yun Yang's heart tightened, and he saw that he was blowing himself up, so he settled down and said, "Have you ever eaten pork or seen a pig running? I have read many books written by mortals."

"Oh, it turns out that the little princess's understanding of the mortal world is all through the script."

Yan Chi's tone was light and light, and there was a bit of a smile in his eyes, obviously teasing her, but Yun Yang couldn't refute anything.

Too many words make mistakes, she is not afraid of saying what she knows, but she is worried that Qian Yuan, who is beside her, will find something wrong.

Although Qian Yuan has been suppressed for thousands of years, his brain has not rusted. Of course, he can hear some clues from the riddle-like conversation between the two.

But he didn't care about that.

Qian Yuan is very self-aware. He knows that he is a dragon with a dark history. From the very beginning, he never expected anyone to believe him.Regarding the plan behind Gu Qixue and Yan Chi, he actually knew very well in his heart, but what could be done?

He can't chase after others and promise over and over again that he won't cause harm to the world, can he?

No one believed him, no matter how much he said, it would be futile, just like when he was suppressed by Qi Yu under the Goddess Palace.

Even Qi Yu doesn't believe him, who else in this world would believe him.

The one who clears himself is cleared, and time will always prove it for him.

The three of them stayed in the city because of the haunting in the city.

Just after you hour, the inn closed its shop.

Yan Chi stood on the stairs and watched Xiao Er close the door, and couldn't help asking: "Why did it close so early? Yuzhou City is so prosperous, so the business at night is not bad, right?"

Xiao Er sighed, shook his head and continued to close the door, "Guest officer, are you from out of town?"

"Ah."

"Well, in the past, the business at night was indeed very good, but now no one dares to come out at night, and everyone is rushing home before the sun goes down."

Yan Chi asked: "Why?"

"Isn't it because something happened to the Shen family in Yuzhou City? Now the city is haunted every night. More than a dozen people have died these days. Who would dare to ask for money instead of life?"

Xiao Er turned around after closing the door, and said to him again: "Guest officer, you should go to bed earlier, if you hear anything at night, don't get up, just sleep peacefully."

"Well, thank you brother for reminding me."

"It should be." Xiaoer said: "To put it bluntly, who wants to see a dead person in their own inn."

When he said this, Xiao Er was also helpless.It's not that he has to say something ugly, it's because such tragedies have happened in other inns, he can only make things serious, so as to prevent guests from running around and causing tragedies.

Yan Chi went back to his room, Qian Yuan and Yun Yang were waiting for him in his room.

Seeing him enter the door, Yun Yang rushed up to meet him: "How's it going? Did you hear anything?"

"The haunting seems a little serious."

"Can it be serious? The sun has just set, and no one can be seen outside."

Yan Chi looked at her: "So what are your plans?"

"What plans do you have, of course to exorcise ghosts! This also needs to be asked?"

Yan Zhi said: "I'm not a good person, of course I have to ask you, the fairy clan, for your opinion."

"It's really you." Yun Yang rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go directly to Shen's house later."

"Do you know how to get there?"

"Of course I know, I've already asked the way."

"Ok."

Perhaps it was due to the solemn atmosphere in the city, the three of them were not in the mood to talk when it was dark, so they each sullenly thought about their own affairs, and waited quietly until Haishi.

At this time, the lights of the entire Yuzhou City were extinguished, only the silver moonlight shone down, barely illuminating the road at night.

The moon is bright tonight, but the wind is extremely cold.

The night in mid-spring is still a bit cool.

The three of them walked all the way to the gate of Shen's house, and saw a lot of yellow paper pasted side by side in front of the gate. neither fish nor fowl.

Obviously, the Shen family was cheated.

Yun Yang stared at the yellow paper with the door on it, and asked at the right time: "Knock on the door or go in directly?"

Yan Zhi glanced at her, "I thought you already had an idea."

"I've never done anything like that."

"Okay. Let's go in quietly and talk about what's going on, and knock on the door after we find the source of the trouble."

"Huh? Why didn't you just get rid of the source of the disaster once you found it?"

"Wouldn't it be cheaper to get rid of them directly? Charlatans can make money from their families by drawing a few pictures of four images. If we don't make money, it's a bit unreasonable. Besides, if it's a man-made ghost, it's not something we can manage. It has to be resolved by their mortal government.”

"I didn't expect you, a demon, to be greedy for mortal treasures."

Yan Chi raised his eyebrows, smiled and said: "Do as the Romans do, do you understand?"

"It's not like you follow the Romans when you go to the countryside."

"That's what makes me look special."

"Too lazy to tell you."

Yan Chi shrugged, "If you don't want to talk to me, go in quickly, read it earlier and go back to sleep earlier."

"If your attitude is placed on our Nine Heavens, it will be called passive sabotage, and your monthly salary will be deducted."

"Your immortal clan is so poor, who rarely gets a job in Jiuzhongtian?"

"If Brother Xue hears this, he will ignore you."

Yan Zhi said: "He ignores me, your fairy clan is poor."

"Hmph! You are rich, you are the richest! Why are you greedy for money when you are so rich!"

Qian Yuan, who had been silently listening to the quarrel between the two, suddenly said: "Stop arguing, it's a bit strange that the lights are still on over there." While speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a small building on the right.

Yan and Zhi looked in the direction of his finger, only to see the faint blue light shining through the paper window of the small building.

The blue lamp, whether it is in the fairy clan or the demon clan, is called the soul lamp.

The author has something to say: Said that a certain person is a melancholy and handsome man today: During Gu Qixue’s retreat days, clouds passed over my head countless times, the wind blew on my face countless times, and I missed him countless times.
