lying wolf

The Uesugi family is a well-known merchant in this small town. It can be said that in this barren town, the Uesugi family is the richest person.The current head of the Uesugi family is Uesugi Takeshi, who can be regarded as a loyal person. He does not have the mentality of a wealthy person being superior, and is quite gentle with others.

It's just that such a person fell ill half a month ago, and the pharmacists and witches in the town were helpless, and according to the famous witch in the town, Takeshi Uesugi was entangled by something unclean.

"So the butler asked us to find some people who know the art of psychics to have a look and see what the master is entangled with." The middle-aged servant explained to Su Mu while leading the way, "Almost everyone in the town I've tried it, but it didn't work. When I saw you from other places today, the housekeeper said I'd like to try it. The young master went to the capital to invite the master's friend, Master Yunhai. I hope to save the master's life before the young master returns."

Su Mu responded casually, looking at the environment of this old house, wondering what he was thinking.Ye Tianmaru didn't follow in, he didn't like too much contact with human beings, Su Mu came to this unfamiliar place alone, without the desire to speak, and listened to the servant's nagging all the way to Uesugi Takeshi's room .

Before Su Mu stepped into the room, the oncoming smell of herbs made her take two steps back, took a few breaths before walking in slowly.A futon was spread on the tatami in the center of the room, and a man was lying there.Su Mu knew that this person was Uesugi Takeshi, who was the head of the Uesugi family, without anyone having to mention him. She heard from the servant that Uesugi Takeshi was only 38 years old and not over [-] years old, but this man seemed to be [-] years old at a glance.His temples are a little gray, his sallow cheeks are obviously sunken, and he looks very thin.Yintang had some faint blackness, his eyelids were strangely bluish white, and his breathing was so slow that one would think that the person lying there was not a living person at all, but a corpse.

Su Mu glanced at it, and knew that this person's physical condition was quite bad, and he might die if he was not careful, but judging from his fate, it didn't look like he would die in a short while.Turning his gaze, his eyes landed on the man kneeling on the quilt. He looked about forty years old, his body was a little fat, and he looked honest and honest, but when he looked closely, he could see a pair of drooping triangular eyes. As long as he put away the deliberate smile on his face, the sense of gloom could no longer be concealed.Su Mu looked at this man longer than Uesugi Takeshi, and at the end he showed a meaningful smile.

The fat man felt uncomfortable, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm Wenliang, the housekeeper of the Uesugi family. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Su Mu shook his head: "I have nothing to ask."

"Then what happened to my master? Is there any way to treat it? In the past half a month, the doctors in the town have tried it, even the medicine from overseas, but it doesn't work..." Wen Liang looked worried, as if Very anxious about Takeshi Uesugi's condition, "Is it really entangled with something unclean?"

"Yeah, but he was entangled." Su Mu nodded in affirmation.

"Then... this..."

"My name is Su Mu, a fortune teller."

Hearing Su Mu's self-introduction, Wen Liang frowned, and cast a veiled glance at the servant standing at the door who brought Su Mu, obviously meaning, "Even if a fortune teller has some psychic ability, can it get rid of bad luck?"

"I can change my life to avoid disaster to a certain extent." Su Mu added slowly.Wen Liang's expression seemed to be relieved, but his triangular eyes were clouded for a moment, but he still said to Su Mu in a gentle tone: "Miss Su Mu, what do you think my master should do?"

Su Mu didn't answer Wen Liang's words directly, but stared at him calmly, "There is no wave without wind, since there is an effect, there should be a cause."

"You mean the master did something to anger those things..." Wen Liang asked tentatively.

"That's what I'm going to ask you."

Su Mu dropped this sentence with a clear expression, which made Wen Liang's face turn blue, and finally he couldn't pretend to be that gentle.The capable people and strangers invited before all fawned on him, even if they didn't fawn on him, they wouldn't be as rude as Su Mu.Those words meant that he was obviously saying that he had harmed Uesugi Takeshi, which spread to the people in the house, how could he keep his position as the housekeeper of Uesugi's family.So he turned cold and ordered people to drive Su Mu out.

Su Mu didn't say anything, and went out neatly.When Ye Tianwan saw her and asked her about the situation inside, Su Mu just said "wait for the show", and took Ye Tianmaru to find a teahouse near Uesugi Mansion, and sat there to kill time.

When night fell, the streets were filled with white mist. Different from the bustling and bleak scene in the daytime, the streets were indistinguishable in the mist, and there was a feeling of looking at a strange world outside the world.Su Mu breathed into his hands, and was embraced by Ye Tianwan.This night was extremely cold, there was no frost, but there was a biting chill, so even though Ye Tianwan's actions were too ambiguous and intimate, Su Mu didn't care much, someone offered heating for free, why did he refuse?

Su Mu and Ye Tianwan were nesting together in the shadow of the corner. When most people in the town were asleep, a strong demonic aura suddenly surged from the end of the East Street toward Shangshan Mountain. Come in the direction of the house.Strange-shaped shadows huddled together in the mist, and a few lights flashed from time to time. They were the eyes of monsters.Above the heads of the group of monsters was a thick black fog, surging like life, and there was a strong resentment coming from it, which was obviously a resentment formed by the human beings killed by the monsters.The wraith yelled mournfully, and the troop of monsters kept approaching Uesugi's house, neither fast nor slow.

Su Mu looked at the large group of monsters and frowned, "This is...Hundred Ghosts at Night?"

Ye Tianmaru sneered, and said disapprovingly: "This level is not considered to be Hyakki Yako, and the master who leads the monster is completely unacceptable. If it were Zashiki Warji as the master of this monster, the Hyakki Yako formed like that might not be as good. I can see."

As the team approached, Su Mu also saw clearly that the leading monster, that is, the so-called owner of the monster, was the Firefox demon named "Qing Lan". She was as pale as a ghost from hell, with traces of blood and tears on her cheeks, and the furry claws under the wide sleeves appearing and disappearing from time to time. She was obviously eroded by the murder to the point of exhaustion, and she could no longer maintain a normal human form.The fiery red clothes fluttered in the mist, shrill and mournful, like the last roar of life.Followed by her was the Zashiki warji she met that night, with a heavy expression on her face, her body was not harmless as usual, but the danger of monsters, a pair of small horns on her forehead were exposed in the air, it was his Evidence stained with blood and hatred.

——What did the Uesugi family do?Let the monster hate him so much that he will find someone to take revenge even if he violates the law of heaven, contaminates, kills and tortures him.

The monster brushed past them, and the intense hatred made Su Mu's brain sting, as if it had stabbed the thing that had been lost and dusty for a long time, the pain made her eyes go black for a while, and she grabbed Ye Tianmaru's hand tightly. The skirt was opened and fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Ye Tianwan supported Su Mu, and asked nervously, "Are you affected by those resentful spirits?"

Su Mu shook his head, pursed his lips, and pulled the line of his lips into a tight straight line, showing a little coldness on his gentle expression.The pain in her head had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before, as if the tingling pain just now was just her illusion.

Ignoring Ye Tianmaru's questioning, Su Mu broke away from his embrace, chased after the group of monsters, and ran towards Uesugi's house.
