Floating like a dream · Chasing the heart

Lu Xuechen watched this strange scene quietly, and then looked at Zhan Ying with a little more surprise and scrutiny.

Who is this person?

Why is there such an astonishing ability to see ordinary and unseen things, but also to make many ghosts obey?

As far as he knows, there is such an ability in the world. As far as he knows, there seems to be only the ancient demon master mentioned by the master. Demons covet and repel.

"It's you!" Zhanying shouted at this moment, pointing his fingers precisely.Lu Xuechen came to his senses, looked for his fingers, and it turned out to be the ghost soldier who ran away just now.

"Okay, okay, let's go, it's the one I pointed out just now, you stay, come here, I have something to ask you." Zhanying waved his hand, and the dark ghost immediately seemed to have received a pardon, Dasong With a sigh of relief, he quickly went back into the grave bag, only the Yin Gui who was named was left, and he wanted to leave but didn't dare to leave;

When Zhan Ying saw its nasty look, he didn't want it to come near him, mainly because he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, so he quickly shouted, "Don't come here, just stand there, now I'm asking you, be honest Answer, otherwise, did you see the person next to me? If you dare to lie, tell him to beat you to pieces immediately."

Lu Xuechen: "..."

Zhan Ying pointed to Liu Ye's body behind him, "I ask you, was this person killed by you?"

Yin Gui raised his head and looked behind Zhan Ying, then at Lu Xuechen who looked cold and serious, his head was shaking like a rattle.

"Really?" Zhan Ying raised his eyebrows, and suddenly raised his voice and yelled, "Fart! I saw it just now, you sneakily lay on top of him, and you said you weren't sucking his yang energy!"

"No, no... yes..."

"Is it or is it!"

"Small... the little one did suck that person's yang energy, but only a little bit." Yin Gui stretched out his paw a little bit smaller than his little finger, and whispered, "It really sucked that little bit." , but he really wasn't killed by a little..."

"Then how did he die?"

"The little one doesn't know..."

"Still talking nonsense! Believe it or not—" Zhanying was about to explode when Lu Xuechen suddenly pulled him back and shook his head at him, "Let's listen to what he has to say first."

Zhan Ying snorted, turned his head and continued to stare at the ghost, "Hurry up!"

The ghost shrank his head in fright.Just like this, it really doesn't look like the vicious virtue of sucking the spirits of dozens of people one after another.

"Since I came here, I have kept my duty. I have never gone out to harm anyone, except for... except for the occasional unlucky one who passed by in the middle of the night and was frightened to death by the little one. There is really nothing else... ···”

Is this still called keeping one's duty?Zhan Ying is happy, it's okay to scare passers-by to death, and then eat a ready-made one, isn't it considered a crime?It's no wonder that this ghost has more hostile energy than others. It turns out that he often eats wild food!

Zhan Ying followed the vine, "So, Liu Ye passed by here, and you were scared to death by bad luck?"

Yin Gui thought for a while before realizing that Liu Ye was referring to the corpse on the ground, and shook his head quickly, "No, no, it's not that the little one was scared to death, that person was already dead when he appeared here, the little one just happened to see that corpse There is still some residual yang energy in the person, so I went to take a couple of breaths, it's not a small matter."

Zhanying turned his head and exchanged glances with Lu Xuechen, but saw Lu Xuechen frowning, as if he was thinking about what the ghost said, and then heard Lu Xuechen ask the ghost, "Did you see what put the corpse here?"

Yin Gui was obviously more afraid of Lu Xuechen, and quickly replied: "No, never... The little one only came out at night to breathe, and that person was already lying there."

"Do you believe what ghosts say?" Zhan Ying approached Lu Xuechen suspiciously.

Lu Xuechen put on an expression of "otherwise you ask what this communication is doing", "Maybe, what it said is true."

Zhan Ying glanced at his mouth and stopped talking.

Lu Xuechen understood, and gestured twice in front of him with two fingers, a bright light struck the ghost from the air.

"It's said that it's not the fault of the little ones, why—"

It's a pity that before the words were finished, they turned into a plume of black smoke and flew into the spirit lock bag on Lu Xuechen's waist.Zhan Yingqiang's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally fell back steadily, and immediately punched Suo Lingsang in a vicious voice, "Even if you didn't kill the willow leaves, you are not a good bird. I will take you away." It's only natural!"

The clues were cut off here, and the harmful thing seemed to be a bit intelligent, knowing that after absorbing the human spirit, it threw the dead body into the graveyard to disturb the sight, so now it can only deal with Liu Ye's dead body before making any plans.

Zhanying was afraid that Lu Xuechen would carry this disgusting corpse on his back on the road on a whim. Seeing Lu Xuechen walking towards the corpse, he immediately grabbed him, "You don't want to be a good person and send the corpse to that old man, do you? Stop making trouble, it's like this Don’t scare the old man to death! People in the city are already in panic because of this incident. Wouldn’t it add fuel to the flames if you dragged another one back? Just dig a hole and bury it. There are graves everywhere here. I think it’s a place to bury people. Fengshui treasure land, this saves the old man from digging pits and building graves."

Lu Xuechen thought about it, and felt that what Zhanying said seemed reasonable.So he drew his sword and dug a hole on the spot to bury him.

Zhanying squatted aside the whole time watching Lu Xuechen busy digging a hole, burying people, and finding a piece of wood from another place to split into a wooden tablet and erecting it in front of the grave. How did the shrewd and experienced immortal let him out?

After Lu Xuechen finished burying the person, Zhanying asked him on the way back when the two of them were walking, "Your sword is very versatile. It can subdue demons and eliminate demons, and it can also cut vegetables and dig pits. Does it have a name?"

Lu Xuechen said seriously: "Xuanguang."

"Good name!" Zhanying put on a show and cheered.

Lu Xuechen suddenly turned to look at him, "You said earlier that you saw Liu...Liu Ye at the inn, who was he with at that time?"

After Lu Xuechen asked such a question, Zhan Ying was immediately enlightened, clapped his hands and said, "Yes! How could I forget this!" Judging from Liu Ye's death, he must have had sex with someone before he died, and last night he was What the inn saw was exactly that scene, maybe that was when Liu Ye was killed.

Even if the dark-faced man last night was not a murderer, he probably knew something.

Thinking of this, Zhan Ying immediately picked up Lu Xuechen and ran towards the Welcome Inn in the city.

But after arriving at the inn, I asked the innkeeper, the man with the black face checked out early this morning and left.

Strangely, under Zhanying's various inquiries, the boss insisted that the peddler was the only one living in the guest room last night, and he was the only one when he checked out in the morning, and he did not see anyone else coming in or out.

Zhan Ying believed that he was absolutely right, so he ran up to the second floor to confirm the door opening he poked out last night.

Zhanying wouldn't believe that Liu Ye didn't walk through the door. With Liu Ye's delicate and limp body, even a window on the ground could be hung on the sash, let alone the second floor.

After coming out of the inn, the expressions of both of them were a little dignified.

According to the innkeeper, if it wasn't for Zhanying's hallucinations, then there must be something wrong with the black-faced guy.But the one who killed Liu Ye was obviously not a human being, but the spirit was sucked away by something evil. Although the man was a bit evil and had unique hobbies, he was really a living person. Not only Zhan Ying can be sure of this , the Taoist lives next door, and it is impossible not to notice the strangeness.

It was midnight at this time, there were no pedestrians on the road, and the only sound of two people's footsteps was heard on the empty street. Although the silence was a bit scary, the surrounding atmosphere was peaceful, and there was no sinister and hostile atmosphere .

After running around all night to no avail, Zhanying couldn't bear it anymore and felt a little sleepy. Think about what kind of crime he has suffered for nothing. He is investigating cases, recruiting ghosts, and helping people bury dead bodies. If it wasn't for that A stone, he is now snoring comfortably lying on the soft couch at home.

Looking at the Taoist priest next to him, his eyes were shining, and he was half tired, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. Those who didn't know it thought it was his dearest relative who died, and they were eager to catch the murderer and avenge their revenge.

Zhan Ying clicked his tongue, covered his mouth and yawned, and said, "Didn't you stay at the inn the whole time last night, didn't you hear or notice anything unusual?"

Hearing this, Lu Xuechen paused.Zhan Ying woke up for a while, turned his head and looked over, "Did you really hear that?"

Lu Xuechen pursed his lower lip and said, "No."

Lu Xuechen didn't say that he didn't stay in the inn all the time last night. After Zhanying left, he took his junior brother to Zhanying's mansion, and found that there was a monster hovering in the mansion, so the two stayed together. Observed nearby until after dawn, the people sent by the third prince found them, left for a while, and then knocked on the door and entered, naturally not knowing what happened in the inn at night.

If the black-faced businessman was suspicious, Young Master Ying who was walking beside him could also be counted as one of the suspicious characters.First, it is not normal to peep outside other people's doors when there is nothing to do.Two, the innkeeper clearly said that only the businessman lived in the guest room, but Zhan Ying said that Liu Ye was also there.What's more, Zhanying himself is an unusual existence, even he can't see his identity.

Zhanying didn't know what the priest was thinking. Hearing that even the Taoist priest had no idea, the more he walked, the more he lost his energy. He yawned and said, "I still think that businessman is the most suspicious. Why don't you go back first, and report the case to the government after dawn. Let's talk about it after someone catches it. You see it's so late, everyone has gone back to sleep. I'm good at recruiting ghosts, but I can't recruit people. Just wandering around the street so thoughtlessly doesn't make a difference. Hey, I This eye is like rubbing a lot of salt particles, it is almost swollen..."

The Taoist didn't know if he was listening to him, so he took a few quick steps and walked onto the bridge over the moat in front of him.

Lu Xuechen stared at the river, frowning in a signature manner, "There are monsters in the river."
