ghost scene

Half a quarter of an hour later, Shi Dan finished transcribing the short composition of hundreds of words.Without delay, Yu Gan took out his share and attached it to the paper crane, and sent it to Gongsunyue.

"Okay, let's take a break, go home and sleep well. Remember that the wound should not heal too quickly."

Yu Gan left without saying a word, and left such chores as locking the door and sweeping the floor to Shi Dan.

When the sun set on the Cangjiang River, Yu Gan returned to the Qilixiang Wharf belatedly.

I sat down at the noodle restaurant in the old place and ordered a bowl of haggis noodles.

During this time, Yu Gan has basically been eating back and forth in these restaurants, and with his easy-talking appearance and rules of conduct, it can be said that he has integrated into this place.

Those small wharf bosses who often come here to eat have returned to their usual high-spirited talk from being cautious and afraid at the beginning.

"Hey, you know, something extraordinary happened today."

"Damn, it's always your dog's trick every time. Do you have to trick your daughter-in-law before doing business?"

"Get out." The man who spoke first opened his jacket and said with saliva, "Don't be afraid if you say it."

"Four extermination cases occurred in Southwest City today! A total of twenty people were killed."

Seeing that everyone's thoughts were mobilized by him, the man cleared his throat, and continued to speak mysteriously, "It is said that a monster did it. It is cruel, the kind that digs out the heart."

"Really?" Someone expressed disbelief.

"It's fine if you don't believe me. Let me tell you, this matter is spreading all over the southwest city. You can inquire about it yourself."

Seeing the seriousness of this man, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Is this going to kill people?"

"Who knows. But I'm not afraid. Our southwest city is so big, with thousands of households, and 20 people are just a drop in the ocean. It's your turn to be unlucky."

"Don't dare to say that, I'll look for you later in the evening."

"Why are you afraid of it? I work from six to nine every day, and my life is more tiring than a dog's. I earn these three melons and two dates. If I don't get killed by the monster, I will die of exhaustion sooner or later."

"I won't talk to you, I have to go home and tell my wife to go, and tell her to be careful at night."

"It all happened in Southwest City, right? No, I have to go hide with my uncle in North City for a while."

These people say that they don't believe and are not afraid of death, but they quickly call it "niaosan".

Yu Gan frowned while listening to this.

These few murders were only discovered today, and they were directly taken over by Dali Temple.

It stands to reason that it is impossible to spread so fast.

The news definitely did not come from Dali Temple, and only some of the deacons in the Ding Department had contact with it.Gongsun Yan also specifically asked not to spread it outside.

As for the arresters, they didn't even know that it was a monster, and the details of the heart-pounding were so full.

Most importantly, the news spread too fast.

The southwest city is so big, the ancient information is blocked.But how do ordinary people like them know that the entire southwest city knows?

There is only one possibility, and that is that someone deliberately spread the news throughout the southwest city.

Is it Dali Temple's method of solving crimes?

No way, this is too stupid. In addition to scaring the snake, it will cause panic among the people. Who can be held responsible if there is a big commotion.

Yu Gan couldn't figure it out after deliberation.

Forget it, never mind.Anyway, there is a tall one on top.

If it wasn't done by Dali Temple, then they would know about the leakage of this case soon, and how to deal with it is none of their business.

Yu Gan drank the last sip of soup, paid the bill and left.

------

Tai'an City, the inner city.

A rich and wealthy family occupying an extremely large area is entrenched in the night and blended into the darkness, because the entire compound is green and secluded, as if no one lives there.

In a room deep in the compound, the furnishings in the room are old and simple, and a pale green candle is lit on the only table.

Occasionally, the faint green light danced, reflecting two faces.

One is a middle-aged man with a broad brow and a square nose, with a calm expression.It was the servant butler who was in Li's mansion on the other side of the ghost city at that time.

Sitting opposite him was also a middle-aged man.

Skinny and ugly.Sunken cheeks, prominent browbones.His thin body was wrapped under the black robe, empty.

The withered arm was placed on the table, playing with a few pale finger bones in the palm.

This bone looked like it had been coiled for a while, but it looked a little crystal clear.

"Guard Li, the Bone Pill should be given to me." The black-robed man said solemnly, his voice hoarse, like a blunt knife sawing his vocal cords.

Butler Li spread out his palm, holding a white elixir in his palm, the fragrance of the elixir was overflowing, and the surface of the elixir was crystal clear.

The man in black robe stared at the elixir with scarlet eyes, reached out to take it, twisted it up and sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and intoxication appeared on his ugly face.

Take out a porcelain bottle very carefully, put it in and put it close to your body.

Then the black-robed man took out four small red beads from his sleeve and placed them on the table, bloody air rushed towards his face.

A small smile finally appeared on Li Butler's indifferent face, and he gathered the four beads in his hands, "Gu Yaoshi's blood coagulation beads are really domineering."

"Let's go." The demon master surnamed Gu got up, shook his clothes empty, and walked outside.

"The real person stays behind." Li Butler yelled out.

Demon Master Gu paused his steps, his clothes were windless, and the room became gloomy in an instant. His voice was piercingly cold, "Why, is there something wrong with Guanshi Li?"

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to say that there is another cooperation." Li Butler said indifferently.

Gu Yaoshi was silent for a while, then said slowly, "I just want the Bone Pill."

"some."

After getting the answer, Gu Yaoshi turned and sat back, and the gloom in the room dissipated.

The flame of the candle was swayed left and right by the wind blown by Demon Master Gu's black robe, butler Li twisted the wick with his fingers and pulled it out, and then he said.

"I still need five blood coagulation beads."

"Impossible." Demon Master Gu shook his head directly, "The four families of my blood sacrifice were all found out by Dali Temple, and it is impossible for me to act again under this situation."

Steward Li said in a soft voice, "How can the real Huaishan's name be frightened by Dali Temple?"

Demon Master Gu sneered, "Before you said you wanted four pills, you didn't allow me to dispose of the corpse. Just wait for Dali Temple to come and investigate.

Now you want again, is Guanshi Li just making fun of me?I don't know what you guys are going to do, but our cooperation stops here. "

After speaking, Master Huaishan wanted to leave.

At this moment, Steward Li said, "One blood coagulation bead is exchanged for one white bone pill."

Immortal Huaishan's breathing suddenly became heavy, and his feet remained motionless as if they had been filled with lead.

"really?"

"Don't dare to lie to Master Huaishan." Steward Li nodded.

"Wait for my news."

"Wait a minute, I still have a request."

"Say."
