"Are you asking about the city lord's past?" Xiao Ming was startled, as if she still couldn't figure out why she suddenly came to the barren house.

Yu Changle nodded and said, "Yes."

Earlier, after the ghost of Yilanzhou pointed in one direction, it retracted into the rouge box.It was in the southwest direction, on the outskirts of Mustard City.But there is almost deserted, people have already moved to the city, and the suburbs are full of dilapidated houses and tiles.

Could it be that this is the place where the corpses are dumped?

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay.But the wasteland is so vast that it was impossible to investigate for a while, so Yu Changle begged Alan to turn into a white horse, carry Xiaoming to a deserted house here, and wake her up again.

Seeing Xiaoming's blank gaze after waking up, Yu Changle couldn't help feeling guilty, and blurted out such a question to divert her attention.He still wanted to know more about the City Lord Yi.

"I haven't stayed in Yifu for many years, and it's within five years." Seeing that the three of them were staring at her, Xiao Ming sat up embarrassingly.

"When I first came to Yi Mansion, City Lord Yi was already the City Lord of Mustard Seed City, and he lived in the City Lord's Mansion. Before that, he was the deputy of the previous old City Lord. When the old City Lord retired and returned home, City Lord Yi took over. .I haven’t heard anything about it before.”

It turns out that there is such a past.Then when did Yi Dongliang travel far away?

Ao Yan said: "How much do you know about his travels?"

"I heard that it was when Yi Dongliang was an adjutant." Xiao Ming said uncertainly.

"Then this lieutenant didn't do a good job, and he can take over as the city lord if he is not in his job for a long time." Ao Yan said sarcastically.

Yu Changle said: "Thinking about it this way, Yi Dongliang's luck is indeed very good." During his time as an adjutant, he devoted himself to traveling far away to inquire about spirits, and when he came back, he became the city lord; Prosperous.

If it weren't for the inexplicable ghost of Yilanzhou they summoned, Yi Dongliang would be a legend without any blemishes.

"What about earlier? Before he was an adjutant." Yu Changle asked, "Where was he then?"

Xiao Ming was a little embarrassed, and shook her head after thinking for a moment: "I don't know about that, it all happened 20 years ago."

Ah Ling said, "Doesn't anyone know? Where's the old servant? Where's the old city lord?"

Xiao Ming still shook her head: "Some people say that the castellan was born as a commoner, and some say that he was a petty official, or that the castellan's family is from a family of officials, and some say that he was transferred from other places. There are all kinds of things. There are all kinds of things. It's just rumors."

Ah Ling smacked her lips when she heard this, and interjected: "It can't be that the wild goose has passed without trace, and death has no proof. There must be some servants who know. Didn't you say before that there are old servants who can prove that City Lord Yi used to have a good temper?"

Xiao Ming was a little angry, and said: "No matter how old you are, you are only an old man when you were an adjutant. In this world, you can only hire servants for 20 years at most. The city lord must lead by example."

The origin of Yi Dongliang's identity is broken here, and the image of Yi Dongliang in Yu Changle's mind is still not very clear.This reminded him of those keen and vigilant monsters. When migrating, they would completely destroy the smells and traces of the past, leaving nothing behind, and then integrate into the new environment without any abnormalities.

Xiao Ming said: "By the way, Mr. Yu, I haven't asked yet. Why did I faint?" She pointed at Alan, "I remember there was a white cat, but now it's a white horse? Dreaming? Also, where is this..."

The desolate houses here are all very old, it is hard to tell that they have been exposed to wind and sun for decades.Yu Changle had been listening attentively just now, and this was the first time he looked at this place carefully.He and the others just randomly chose a desolate house that seemed to be in good condition to go in, and listened to Xiaoming's talk for a long time in the corridor next to the back garden.

As far as the eye can see, the corner beams and pillars are all cobwebs.Everything was covered with a thick layer of dust, the tiles were damaged a lot, the vermilion paint was also faded and peeled off, and only the grand scene of the once carved beams and painted buildings could be vaguely seen.Looking forward from the back garden, Yu Changle and the others felt that the area occupied by it should not be small.

It seems that this house was a grand mansion a long time ago, and perhaps it was once prosperous.

Ao Yan and Ah Ling stood by each other, not intending to answer the conversation at all.Yu Changle had no choice but to say: "The fainting may be because the cemetery is too cloudy hahaha... We are... treasure hunting. Yes, treasure hunting!"

He felt his ears warm up, and he wondered if they were red.It was the first time in Yu Changle's life to tell such a lie, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Treasure hunting?" Xiao Ming looked at him hesitantly, looked at the deserted house hesitantly, and suddenly said in surprise, "Oh! Why did the white horse disappear and become a cat? I really fell asleep?"

Yu Changle: "...Yes, we are hunting for treasure hahaha. Ao Yan, don't you think so?"

Ao Yan said without changing his expression, "Yes."

"Uh, I'm going now." Yu Changle said awkwardly "hahaha" and rushed into the yard with Alan in his arms, almost tripping over a stone.Ao Yan said "tsk" and gave him a hand.

"You should go back first." Ah Ling sighed, held her forehead, and said to Xiao Ming, "Ordinary people don't understand the affairs of our immortals. Don't bother me."

Xiao Ming: "..."

"Quick, quick." Ah Ling urged her to leave.

The garden was overgrown with weeds, half the height of a man.Yu Changle stepped up the steps, the door lock was already rotten, he pushed it lightly and it opened.The inside is better preserved than the outside, Ao Yan looked at it a few times and said: "Not bad."

A house that can make Donghai Longzi say "good" is really good.Yu Changle couldn't see why, and asked, "Why?"

"At least my ancestors were once rich." Ao Yan said, not sure if it was ironic.

Yu Changle: "..."

Alan said: "These logs are hundreds of years old."

Yu Changle walked around the back house. At first, he just thought that the yard was full of trees, but after seeing it clearly, he found a locust tree planted in the middle of the yard. He couldn't help but commented: "It's not auspicious." The locust tree is a "ghost tree". There are even rumors that it can imprison ghosts. Generally, no one will plant this tree at home.

This locust tree has grown for many years at first glance, and its branches give the crowd a feeling of dancing wildly in the deserted house.

"Master Yu!"

Yu Changle was about to visit the locust tree, when suddenly he heard the door being pushed open behind him, Ah Ling complained from far to near, "Finally invited your good sister Ming away! I don't know if she will tell Yi ..."

"Yi...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Yu Changle was startled by him and turned around.

I saw the ghost of Yilan Zhou escaped at some point, running around with blood on his face, looking very frantic.Seeing Yu Changle turning her head, she immediately let out a scream, and a string of syllables burst out of her mouth.

"What do you want to say?" Yu Changle stepped forward immediately.

Ah Ling stuck to the wall: "Fuck! Fuck!! Why did she come out again?!"

Yi Lanzhou has been nourished by the blood of a spiritual master in the rouge box for so long, and she can no longer see anything transparent.Generally speaking, the greater the obsession, the closer the ghost's form will be to the entity.She eagerly grabbed Yu Changle's arm, was burned by the scorching sun again, and pulled his sleeve instead.

Ao Yan frowned, reaching out his hand as if trying to tear her away, but Yu Changle stopped her by shaking his head: "Wait a minute."

The ghost girl gestured again and made the sound of "ahah" again. Seeing the white cat in Yu Changle's arms baring her teeth and growling at her, she got anxious and grabbed him and kept making gestures.

"Where are you going to take me?" Unexpectedly, a ghost was so strong, Yu Changle staggered and followed her for a few steps.

Yilan Zhou nodded vigorously.

She seemed to be very familiar with this house, even if she lost her eyesight, she didn't pause at all, as if she had wandered here for many years.The three of them followed her, except for opening or kicking the door, they went straight to the main entrance almost non-stop.

Ah Ling poked her head out: "Huh? Why did you come out?"

"Ah!" Yi Lanzhou tugged on Yu Changle's sleeve, but she was in vain—after all this exhaustion, she became transparent again.She anxiously patted Yu Changle on the shoulder, and pointed to a rectangular object on the ground with one hand.

Ao Yan said: "This is a plaque."

The plaque seemed to have been deliberately reversed, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated, almost blending with the ground.Being reversed, it seems that people don't want people to know what it wrote; but they kept the plaque and didn't destroy or take it away, revealing a kind of contradictory respect.

Yu Changle stepped forward to turn it over, revealing four characters, Ah Ling gasped and said in a broken voice, "Why is this?!.

——"Ishiko House".

It is exactly the same as the plaque on the gate of Yifu!

"What is this? Yi House??" Yu Changle couldn't believe it, "Is this house Yi Mansion?"

In an instant, the "rumors" that Xiaoming had said slipped into his mind: 'Born as a commoner'...'A family of officials'...'Transferred from elsewhere'...

Ao Yan said slowly: "The rumors may not be all false."

Yu Changle said: "Wait...let me reason."

Yi Dongliang's ancestors were indeed a family of officials and eunuchs, and the Yi family had a good time.But later, the Yi family declined, and in Yi Dongliang's generation, he was no different from ordinary people.Back then, Yifu was neglected, and gradually even this piece of land was no longer a prosperous place.Later, it was completely deserted and turned into a suburb. I don't know if it was the result of Yi Dongliang's deliberation.

He may have worked as a petty official in another place before there were rumors.Later, he became the adjutant of Mustard City, and later, he became the lord of the city and revived the family.

Again, if there is no ghost of the girl, this is still an inspirational story with infinite scenery.

Ah Ling said: "That is to say, this is Yi Dongliang's ancestral house?? Ghost... Uh, Miss Yi is also referring to this place, right? Where did such a coincidence come from, we just chose it randomly..."

Speaking of which, he also got stuck.It's really not a random choice, the most eye-catching thing in this large area of ​​desolate houses is the old Yi mansion.

"But... what's going on with this Miss Yi?" Ah Ling asked.

Another line of blood and tears flowed from Yi Lanzhou's eyes.She turned around and signaled Yu Changle to follow her.The girl's ghost floated inward lightly.

Yu Changle returned to the courtyard where the locust tree was planted again, his heart felt a little cold.Judging by Yilan Zhou's reaction, her body might be under the locust tree.Ah Lan hummed: "There are folk rumors that the souls of corpses under the locust tree will be absorbed and trapped by the tree, and they will not be reincarnated in the cage."

Although I know that this is just a folk tale and it cannot be considered true, but if the person who buried her really expected this, it would be extremely vicious.

There was actually a rusty shovel in the grass, and Yu Changle didn't want to think about what it was for.As the layer of soil was shoveled away, the girl's pale, blood-stained face was gradually revealed.

Ah Ling reflexively wanted to retch, but was choked by the mysterious atmosphere.

"Ding--"

The shovel hit something.It was a pure black soul nail nailed on the girl's chest.Yu Changle leaned over and grabbed the nail, and then felt a cold air sweeping over him.The Elan boat hangs quietly beside it.

Ao Yan seemed to know that it was useless to stop him, so he only glanced at him.

The nail was so cold that Yu Changle's teeth chattered as he pulled it out inch by inch.

The moment the soul nail came off, the girl opened her empty eyes!

Before Yu Changle could react, the hand of the girl's corpse grabbed Yu Changle's wrist.When Yu Changle saw her bloody eyes, it seemed that all the light was absorbed in it in an instant, and the turbulent and cold memories poured into his mind like a tide.

Ah Ling's exclamation and Ao Yan's voice were too far away to be heard clearly.He fell down, the heat turned into ice, the night was torn apart by the day, and the howling wind blew on his head——

When Yu Changle opened his eyes again, there was a bustling street in front of him, full of pedestrians.He exhaled white air from his mouth and nose, as the saying goes, the breath turns into ice.

It's winter?The noise spread into the eardrums, and Yu Changle soon realized that many eyes seemed to fall on him.

"What a pretty girl..."

"...Buy it back to be a child bride? Haha..."

"Don't talk nonsense..."

"Tsk, pitiful..."

Is this Yilan Zhou's memory?What's the situation now?

Yu Changle's eyesight is very low, and with his head down, he can see his hands.Small and immature, but already covered with calluses and tiny wounds.It was winter, and the little girl still had many chilblains on her hands.

He is confused.

Yi Lanzhou is the eldest lady of the Yi Mansion, how could she have such hands?
