It is a great blessing to have a ghost climb the bed in the middle of the night.

Wu Xingxue wanted to pretend to be weak, but he searched the room in the blink of an eye, but he didn't detect the slightest breath of Tiansu Shangxian.

Xiao Fuxuan is really not there.

Also, if he was there, it would be impossible for such ugly things to appear in the house.

Wu Xingxue thought so, and suddenly lost the thought of pretending to be weak. No one is there, who can pretend to be seen.

The thing lying beside the bed was about to move, but someone was faster than it—in the blink of an eye, the bed was empty, and Wu Xingxue disappeared.

Those dead-white eyes blinked, and they quickly swept across the bed, to both sides, and under the bed... They didn't find the slightest trace of black snow.

The eyeballs turned extremely fast, and the eyelids could barely cover them, and the edges were bluish-black, as if they were a little rotten. If you turn it faster, it can fall out of the eye socket.

It was about to look up, when a voice sounded softly behind it: I'm behind you.

It froze suddenly, its pale eyes motionless. In the next moment, it was about to burst with a bow of its fingers! However, he felt that he was being grabbed by someone on the back of his neck and his scalp.

That hand was as cold as ice, colder than a dead man's.

After a while, it was dragged and smashed to the ground. The hands holding his life gate had moved to its throat.

It struggled violently, with such strength that even the floor was smashed into a bang, cracking many long openings.

But the white and thin hand was motionless.

It felt the killing intent in that hand.

Your luck is really bad, I don't remember anything, and now there are only ultimate moves left, you better be honest and don't move. Wu Xingxue said softly.

This was the first time it failed to do anything, but it was suppressed to the point of immobility, and it shrank a little under the threat.

In an instant, the cold wind was furious, and the wooden window was slammed open by the wind.

Wu Xingxue spoke again in the dark. He had a faint laugh, but what he said made people laugh: The one lying on the side outside the window, my temper is not very good at the moment, you'd better get in the room now and turn on the lamp.

...

The people outside the window may have never heard such a request and remain silent.

After a long while, someone finally opened the door tremblingly and carefully touched the table.

***

The oil lamp that had been extinguished for a long time lit up, and the candle flame clearly illuminated the scene in the room——

The person who lights the lamp is the innkeeper.

Wu Xingxue was half-kneeling on the ground in plain clothes, holding the thing that climbed the bed in the middle of the night...

To be precise, it is not a thing, but a person.

A man who appears to have been dead for a long time.

His head, face, neck and neck were a little swollen, not because he was bloated, but as if he had been soaked in some kind of juice for a long time, until the skin was dead white and spread out.

Wu Xingxue thought of the coffin liquid——

In some places in the folk, in order to ensure that the dead body does not rot, they often ask Xianmen for some special concoction to pour into the coffin.

Wu Xingxue's face immediately lost expression.

He glanced around and saw that there was actually a sword on the waist of the corpse.

So he let go of the hand that was grabbing the opponent's neck, drew the sword and stood up.

The corpse was about to take the opportunity to struggle to get up, when the tip of the sword pressed against his forehead.

Did I get you up? Wu Xingxue asked.

His tone has never felt vicious, and he always seems to be gossiping with people. But the killing intent never left. So much so that the corpse under the sword did not dare to move, and neither did the shopkeeper at the table.

The shopkeeper, hand me the clean towel. Wu Xingxue said.

The shopkeeper drooped his huge bags under his eyes, stared at him fearfully, carefully reached for the cloth towel, and handed it over a step away.

He didn't dare to move or make a sound, just watched Wu Xingxue take the towel and wipe his fingers.

Seeing that the other party was wiping, he stopped moving, and looked down at his wrist quietly.

Those two wrists were evenly long and clean, with no dirt on them. I don't know what to see.

The shopkeeper thought.

What's more terrifying is that he frowned when he looked at it, and it really looked like he had a bad temper.

The shopkeeper shrank again carefully.

Outsiders naturally don't know, it is precisely because both wrists are empty that Wu Xingxue frowned.

Last time at Hua's house, Xiao Fuxuan tied silk threads and bells to his wrist when he was out of the body to do errands alone.

He tugged a few times, and then came back.

This time, there was not even a bell to call people, and there was no smell of Xiao Fuxuan in the whole inn.

Where has he gone?

Wu Xingxue threw the towel back on the table and looked up at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's scalp was numb at the sight of him, and the cold air rushed from his back. Just as he was about to wave his hand to explain, he heard Wu Xingxue ask him, Where's Xiao Fuxuan?

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and could hardly hear: Ah? Who?

Just now, in his mind, many things Wu Xingxue might ask—

What happened to this corpse on the ground? Why did you show up in my room in the middle of the night? ! Why are you lying by the window? What do you want to do like this?

Those who are in danger in the middle of the night always want to ask these questions, but Wu Xingxue asked the most irrelevant sentence.

I ask. Wu Xingxue said softly, The same

What about the person I came with, did you see it?

The shopkeeper shook his head.

Seeing that Wu Xingxue's face instantly turned cold.

When he was expressionless, the end of his slightly drooping eyes was full of disgust, and the killing intent that had never been received was even stronger.

The shopkeeper was really frightened now, his throat slid, and he swallowed: I... I really didn't see it.

Aren't you lying out of the window and peeping? Wu Xingxue's voice became even lighter.

I, I, I just came up, when I came up, when I came up... The shopkeeper seemed to have no idea how to explain, and said incoherently: Not long after I came up, I heard you say 'I'm behind you', and then ...you should know what happened next.

Wu Xingxue's face became even worse when he heard it: Will I believe you if you say it?

The shopkeeper was anxious: It's all the truth! The truth! If there is a false statement, I, I will be struck by lightning!

It wasn't that Wu Xingxue didn't believe his words.

In fact, he could have guessed the result before he opened his mouth to ask—the shopkeeper would be such a coward if he frightened him a little, no matter how he looked at it, it was impossible to get a high immortal.

So Xiao Fuxuan's disappearance should have nothing to do with him.

Wu Xingxue could guess.

He just couldn't find anyone, and he was just irritable.

What about you? He held the sword in his backhand and nailed it down—

The corpse abruptly closed his eyes, only to feel that the sword edge was rubbing his scalp, and he could even feel a slender slit in his skin. If he is still alive, there must be gurgling blood oozing out continuously along the long mouth.

It won't die, but it can make people cry.

What are you? When did you come to the room, where is the other person in the room? Wu Xingxue squatted down.

The corpse man stared at him with his dead white eyes, opened his mouth, and pursed his lips tightly. Then shook his head.

Wu Xingxue frowned.

His thumb and forefinger pinched the sides of the corpse's cheeks, and he exerted force.

Hearing two clicks, the corpse was tensed and his jawbone loosened a little, and his mouth opened naturally, like an open cave——

He has two rows of fine teeth, but no tongue.

Wu Xingxue pressed it down again, and found that there was a protrusion under his throat bone, and when he touched his hand, it seemed that a nail was sealed inside.

It's tongueless, and it's sealed. I'm afraid that's why I can't speak.

If Xiao Fuxuan was here, there would definitely be a way for the corpse to speak without a tongue.

But he just wasn't there.

Wu Xingxue was even more annoyed, took a cup of tea, poured it on the corpse's hand, and whispered: Write.

The corpse man's fingers trembled, and he made meaningless repeated movements among the traces of tea.

This thing, he...he can't answer. The shopkeeper couldn't hold back and added a sentence beside him.

Then what can you answer? Wu Xingxue said without raising his head, Someone said something before...

Xiao Fuxuan said that this is an illusion, it is best not to make too much noise, lest the illusion be affected, and I don’t know what troubles will happen.

He said, it's best not to make too much noise here. Wu Xingxue turned to look at the shopkeeper, He's gone now, and I have no one to ask. You say...what is a big noise? Fighting ?kill?

The shopkeeper's face was pale when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, No, no, it can't be like this, it can't be like this. I-hey! I said, what did I say.

The shopkeeper said that this was a long story, and he did not know how to explain it clearly, so he had to start from the beginning.

***

How many years have I opened this shop in Luohuashan City? It's been fine, and nothing has happened. Some people from Xianmen have looked at it for me before, and said that I picked the best place in Luohuatai. A treasured place to gather blessings and gather qi. Then one day, a jade branch grew out of the stone crevice at the back of my store, although it was only a tiny bit...

Shaking his fingers, he carefully gestured at a distance of less than an inch, and said, I thought to myself, could it be the manifestation of the treasure? Then I invited Xianmen to see it again, but they said it was not a good omen, and said that my blessings in this treasure have dissipated. From prosperity to decline, from auspicious to fierce, and advised me to change a place...

Naturally, he didn't believe in that evil. He clearly said before that he had occupied a treasure land, so why did it suddenly become a disaster. So he inquired and inquired around, checked countless books, read all the books that he could understand and those he couldn't understand, and even those legends from the beginning of the Dao of Heaven were not spared.

In the end, he found a result for himself.

I think it should be a rare jade essence that is rarely seen in a hundred years, said the shopkeeper.

Hearing Xiao Fuxuan's mention of Jade Essence, Wu Xingxue raised his eyes.

If it's really a jade essence, then it's a legendary thing, and it's good luck. How can it change from prosperity to decline! The shopkeeper said: So I didn't listen to those immortal elders, and I didn't plan to move out of here. As a result... hey, It didn't take long for something to happen.

The shopkeeper glanced at Wu Xingxue's face and said, There was a guest who lived there and then disappeared, and no trace can be found.

He came with his daughter. That little girl was young, she couldn't speak easily, and no one could bear to look at her when she cried. Of course I couldn't help but ask, so I invited Xianmen again. Luohuashan City is crowded and mixed. , I was afraid that the noise would cause trouble, so the immortal elders all stayed with me and went to investigate quietly, and the result...

The shopkeeper glanced at Wu Xingxue again, hesitating to say anything, as if he didn't dare to go on.

Wu Xingxue stared at him and said, The result.

The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes and confessed his fate, As a result, those immortal elders rummaged through the entire Luohua Mountain.

The city failed to find the guest. He just disappeared out of thin air and never appeared again.
