Please give me a chance to be a straight man

Ye Chen felt that he had a convulsion in his brain to come to the mass grave with Shen Xu at night.

Sitting in the gusty wind for an hour, and seeing no one coming, Ye Chen patted his clothes and decided not to go crazy with Shen Xu.

Seeing that Ye Chen was about to leave, Shen Xu grabbed his sleeve, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back, are you worried about Super Chen? Don't worry, with Jiang Xun here, no one dares to touch him."

Ye Chen patted Shen Xu's hand away, and retorted, "I'm worried about what that idiot is doing, I'm worried about my senior brother!"

"Jiang Xun? What happened to him?"

Ye Chen gave Shen Xu a white look, "You really don't care about my brother's affairs at all. He is about to break through recently, and needs someone to check him. It's better for you, pull me out to accompany you to blow the cold wind. Said You are heartless, and you are not wronged at all."

Shen Xu scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard the words, "So that's the case. If that's the case, you should go back first. It's important for Jiang Xun's cultivation to break through."

"You still know a little bit."

After Ye Chen left, Shen Xu squatted on the hillside of the mass grave for another hour.Seeing that there was no one in sight, Shen Xu was about to give up and go back.At this moment, a person walked slowly from not far away with a lantern.

Shen Xu saw that he was the owner of the inn where he was staying.

The innkeeper took out a brazier, took out a stack of yellow paper and lit it still inside, clasped his hands together and kept muttering, "Xiao Wang's mistakes are all my fault, if you have any grievances, just blame me alone. Never involve the innocent, please please."

Shen Xu was at a loss as he listened to it, could it be that there was something hidden about the death of the waiter in this store?

When Shen Xu thought of this, he stared at the innkeeper more carefully.Unexpectedly, after the innkeeper finished burning the paper for the waiter, he couldn't stop looking around, "Master, master, master, are you coming again!"

The innkeeper called several times but no one answered.At this moment, a piece of letter paper suddenly floated over from not far away.The innkeeper took it over and took a look, and hurriedly began to kowtow excitedly from all directions, "Thank you, master, thank you, master, what the master ordered, I will definitely do it!"

After speaking, the innkeeper ran away in a hurry.

Seeing this, Shen Xu waited for a while and returned to the inn when no one appeared again.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen followed Jiang Xun to the inn.Seeing that Shen Xu was still sleeping with his head covered, he immediately lifted the quilt unceremoniously, and Shen Xu woke up immediately from the cold.

Shen Xu glared at Ye Chen, "It's too much for you to disturb people's dreams early in the morning, isn't it?"

"It's already noon, why is it too early? Tell me what you found yesterday when you squatted in the mass grave to blow the cold wind?"

Looking at Ye Chen and Jiang Xun's posture, Shen Xu obviously didn't intend to let him continue to sleep, so he had no choice but to put on his clothes, and replied by the way, "Although I didn't see Ghost Xiu appear, I still found something."

"Hurry up and listen."

Seeing Ye Chenhou's anxious look, Shen Xu couldn't help but wink at Jiang Xun.But Jiang Xun was drinking tea with his head bowed at this time, obviously he didn't receive Shen Xu's signal.

Shen Xu sighed and had no choice but to explain what happened to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded after listening, "No wonder when I entered the inn just now, I found that the boss was not there. It turned out that there was a problem, so I ran away first."

Shen Xu was surprised when he heard the words, "Run away?"

"It can't be said that he ran away. It should be temporarily away for a few days. I heard from the waiter downstairs that the wife and daughter of the innkeeper have recently been seriously ill. The boss will leave for two days every now and then, so this is not a sudden incident. .”

Shen Xu recalled how grateful the innkeeper was to the so-called master last night, maybe it was related to his wife and daughter's illness.

So they didn't dawdle any longer, and immediately got up and went to the innkeeper's home in the east of the city.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the three of them arrived outside the gate of the innkeeper's house, they suddenly heard a scream, and then three souls floated out of the house.

Seeing this, Shen Xu hurriedly chased after him, and not long after, he saw three souls piercing into a cluster of dense forests.Shen Xu mobilized all his spiritual power to catch up quickly, and he was about to catch up to the three souls.Suddenly, a black smoke flew from the dense forest, instantly binding Shen Xu's hands and feet.

Shen Xu felt the familiar corpse aura on the mist, and was about to activate the formula, when he saw the blue light of the inherited jade in his body flash, and the black mist fled away without a trace in an instant.

Shen Xu thanked Venerable Ghost Corpse while rubbing his sore wrist.

Venerable Ghost Corpse snorted coldly, "Seeing that the three souls are the bait, only an idiot like you would chase after them. If the old man wasn't there just now, you would probably have been caught by the ghost cultivator."

"Thank you, senior, for your help."

Then Ye Chen and Jiang Xun also arrived.Seeing Shen Xu's posture as if he had just fought someone, they knew that the three souls probably ran away.

"There's really no clue right now."

Shen Xu shook his head, "Let's go back and see the corpses of the innkeeper and his family first."

As soon as I entered the innkeeper's house, I was greeted with a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

When Shen Xu and the others came to the bedroom, they saw three corpses at a glance.Because not long after the innkeeper's family died, the body was still hot.Shen Xu rummaged through the boss for a while, and finally found the letter from last night.

The content of the letter is very simple, find the seven souls, and your wife and daughter will be cured.Later, the letter also wrote some birthday horoscopes and the like.

After reading the letter, Ye Chen became furious. "This ghost cultivator is really vicious. He actually planned to exchange the lives of the innkeeper's wife and daughter for the other seven innocent lives."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he saw that Shen Xu was studying the corpse, so he also leaned over, "Did you find anything?"

Shen Xu pointed to the foreheads of the innkeeper's family. "look."

Ye Chen followed Shen Xu's fingers and saw the numbers two, three, and four on their foreheads.

Seeing this, Ye Chen suddenly realized, "Could it be that this ghost cultivator didn't plan to kill the innkeeper's wife and daughter from the beginning, but took them as his target?"

Shen Xu nodded, "That should be true. In other words, including the innkeeper's family, the ghost cultivator needs to gather the souls of ten people in total."

"But now that we've already scared the snake, will the ghost cultivator show up again?"

"It will definitely happen. After all, Super Chen is still in our hands. It's just that he will be more careful in the future, so we must carefully investigate the changes in Yuzhou City. No matter how small, we can't let it happen."

Ye Chen passed the news of ghost repairs in Yuzhou City to nearby sects, big and small, and hoped that they would cooperate together.

The nearby sects didn't take this matter seriously at first, but seeing that Jiang Xun himself was on the move, they quickly agreed very readily.Seeing this, Shen Xu stood secretly and rolled his eyes in the dark, and it turned out that they were all a group of guys who followed suit.

Shen Xu's side was ready, waiting for the ghost cultivator to attack.Unexpectedly, there were no abnormalities in Yuzhou City for several days.

Just when Ye Chen and the others thought that Guixiu had given up his original plan and fled, several disciples from nearby sects who were investigating the situation in Yuzhou City lost contact.

Several high-level sects immediately ordered a search of Yuzhou City and the surrounding suburbs, but found nothing.Several sects began to panic.Originally, they thought that the ghost cultivator that Shen Xu and the others were talking about was just an ordinary demon cultivator, and they could be caught in a few days.I didn't expect her whereabouts to be so strange and threatening.

Seeing that September [-]th is gradually approaching, there will be a big move when the Ghost Cultivator and his ten souls are bound to make a big move.At present, Shen Xu can only stabilize the various sects and let them take care of the safety of the people in Yuzhou City first, so as to avoid tragic casualties in time.

The Ghost Corpse Venerable looked at Shen Xu frowning for a day, and suddenly he was very discerning and didn't mention the matter of finding someone.

Shen Xu thought that Venerable Ghost Corpse had changed his temper, so he specially thanked him.Unexpectedly, Venerable Ghost Corpse suddenly said that that ghost cultivator might have to refine powerful spirit corpses, so Shen Xu should be careful.

Shen Xu was confused, and asked quickly, "Senior, what is a spirit corpse?"

The Ghost Corpse Venerable gave him a blank look, but still replied, "The puppet is strong but has lost its mind. The spirit corpse is different. It is not only stronger than the puppet, but also possesses consciousness, so the general Nascent Soul Stage Not necessarily its opponent."

"Then how did the senior know that the ghost cultivator wanted to refine spirit corpses?"

"Spiritual corpses have always fed on the souls of living people. Generally, the higher the cultivator's soul strength is, the more beneficial it will be for the spiritual corpse's cultivation. The ghost cultivators have not done anything to the people of Yuzhou City so far. Maybe it's because he switched targets."

Shen Xu looked at Venerable Ghost Corpse suspiciously.Venerable Ghost Corpse suddenly smiled and said, "You are both spirit and demon cultivators, and that Jiang Xun is a master in the Nascent Soul Stage, so the souls of the two of you are perfect for refining spirit corpses.

"Senior, don't scare me. I'm very timid."

The Ghost Corpse Venerable gave him a disdainful look, and then returned to the inheritance jade.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Your little Taoist partner seems to be a little unstable in cultivation, and there are signs of madness. You have to keep an eye on him, lest he go crazy and kill you. I really can't do it again. I saved you."
