Quickly Transmigrate: I am the Heroine in a Bloody and Abusive Story

Chapter 21: Crazy about my junior brother insisting that I like him (21)

A ding-dong sound.

The voice of fate sounded in my head again.

[Congratulations on triggering the hidden mission in this plot. If you can fill in the loopholes in the Ghost Night Cry plot, you can get an extra 50 points as a reward. ]

"Mingming, do you know what the lost plot is?"

[I can only know the content of the original plot. As for the parts that are not clearly written in the original plot, you need to explore them yourself. Moreover, the plot is developing too fast now, which may affect the development of the plot according to the established trajectory, so my suggestions cannot provide much help. ]

Ni Fang nodded.

If you can't rely on fate, you can only rely on yourself.

The next morning, everyone went to Caishikou together. Just as Hu the butcher said, there was indeed a house overgrown with weeds next to his house.

Since Luo Haisheng and the others were all monks, Butcher Hu closed his shop and personally accompanied them to visit Sun's house, and told them everything he knew in detail.

Butcher Hu led everyone to the red gate with peeling paint, and said with regret: "The owner of the household is Sun Xumeng, a scholar. He passed the provincial examination when he was sixteen, but when he went to Jiangcheng to participate in the autumn examination in the fall, something went wrong. It is said that he was bewitched by a girl in Jiangcheng, and he did not take the provincial examination and insisted on coming back to get married."

Hu the butcher was holding a sickle and cutting weeds as he walked towards the main house.

The beams on all four sides of the mansion were blackened by smoke, and items such as tables, chairs, and benches had disappeared, leaving only some deformed bronze objects scattered on the ground.

Hu the butcher went on to say, "His parents were naturally very reluctant, but they could not bear Sun Xumeng's refusing to drink water or eat. His parents had a son in their old age, and they were too old to discipline their son, so they had no choice but to agree. On the day of the wedding, I went to see his bride, who was really beautiful, with a beauty as beautiful as a fairy. No wonder she was so charming to Sun Xumeng."

Ni Fang picked up the half bronze mirror on the ground and wiped it. A human figure could be vaguely seen on the front of the mirror, and a pair of mandarin ducks and intertwined branches were engraved on the back. Generally speaking, only peony, azalea and other patterns would be engraved on the back of a bronze mirror. These mandarin ducks and intertwined branches must have been custom-made. It seems that Sun Xumeng and his wife were once very loving.

Ni Fang then asked, "When Sun Xumeng died, did his wife also die?"

Hu the butcher shook his head. "His wife died of illness before the fire. I will stop here in a moment, Immortal Master, don't panic."

Chen Jingjing gave Ni Fang a cold look, thinking that besides being a waste, Ni Fang also always liked to interrupt others when they were talking.

Butcher Hu continued, "In the first one or two years after they got married, you could always hear Sun's father and mother scolding Madam Sun at night. What they said was very unpleasant, probably scolding Madam Sun for being a seductress who ruined their son's career. But during the day, the neighbors nearby would always see Sun Xumeng taking Madam Sun out on a cruise ship, reciting poems and writing essays. They looked very affectionate. A year later, Sun's father and mother passed away one after another, and Sun Xumeng and Madam Sun became even more inseparable."

"About seven or eight years later, Sun Xumeng started growing a beard, but Madam Sun still looked the same as she did ten years ago, not a bit older. We neighbors all said that Sun Xumeng was lucky. Although he didn't pass the imperial examination, he married a fairy. But after a few years, people gradually stopped talking about it because we found that Madam Sun had never given birth to a child for the Sun family."

Ni Fang frowned secretly. This Madam Sun did not sound like a mortal. Her appearance had remained unchanged for more than ten years. She just didn't know whether she was a monster or a cultivator.

"Sun Xumeng also felt something was wrong and started to hang out in brothels. Madam Sun was too sad and rarely appeared in public."

Zhuang Chunshan and Feng Manlin looked at each other and said, "This Madam Sun you are talking about is most likely a monster."

Chen Jingjing also nodded immediately.

Although Luo Haisheng and Ni Fang did not express their opinions, they had the same guess in their hearts.

But who would have thought that Hu the butcher would immediately shake his head and say, "She is definitely not a demon. Sun Xumeng is not an ordinary person. He has a friend who is an immortal. When the immortal sees Madam Sun, he will be able to tell at a glance whether she is a demon or not."

"What immortal friend? Which sect is he a disciple of?" Chen Jingjing asked.

"I don't know about that. I only know that he came to see Sun Xumeng two years ago. They drank and chatted happily, and went in and out together for several days. Not long after, the news that Madam Sun was seriously ill spread, and she passed away half a month later." Speaking of this, Butcher Hu felt a little regretful.

"And then there was the fire?" Chen Jingjing asked again.

"Yes, only five months later, a fire broke out in the Sun residence in the middle of the night. There was a white cloth hanging outside the house, and it was all burned."

"Sun Xumeng was the only one who died?"

Butcher Hu nodded. "Sun Xumeng's friend is an immortal, so he must have a way to escape. In the end, only a corpse was found in Sun's house. After the county coroner compared the body, he confirmed that the dead person was Sun Xumeng."

When he had asked almost all the questions, Hu the Butcher told Luo Haisheng everything he knew. Luo Haisheng then thanked him and asked Hu the Butcher to go back first.

After Hu the butcher left, Chen Jingjing spoke first, "Everything that happened in the Sun residence must be related to the ghost. Have you heard of the Painted Skin Ghost? It can paint human skin to ensure that its appearance never ages. I guess this Madam Sun is such a Painted Skin Ghost. The disappearance of the girl in Baishui Town must be related to her."

Ni Fang was not so anxious to draw conclusions, she always felt that there was something strange in the story. This Madam Sun was most likely the snake demon Luan Cui, but the question was, why did Luan Cui's body quickly decay when the cultivator Sun Xumeng knew came? Was this cultivator's cultivation higher than Luan Cui's? If he was really higher than Luan Cui, why didn't he just get rid of Luan Cui, but let her do whatever she wanted for so long.

You know, Sun Xumeng died at the hands of Luan Cui.

As a friend of Sun Xumeng, there is no reason for this monk not to seek revenge on Luan Cui.

Zhuang Chunshan and Feng Manlin both echoed Chen Jingjing's statement.

Luo Haisheng took out the monster-hunting compass, and suddenly a bright light appeared, and the compass needle was spinning rapidly.

"Senior Brother Luo, what is this?" Chen Jingjing asked curiously.

Luo Haisheng answered seriously: "Demon and ghost detector."

With a puff, Ni Fang couldn't help but laugh.

As expected, Ni Fang received another cold stare from Chen Jingjing.

Luo Haisheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "The whole house is filled with a strong evil spirit. Among the three people in Sun's house, one must be an evildoer."

"Damn you!" Chen Jingjing raised her eyebrows and cursed angrily, "You harmed so many innocent women just for your own selfish desires, you really deserve to die!"
