Yingbeishe claims to be the place where the world's intelligence gathers, and it is also known as Jiezilou, the so-called place where the world's classics gather. Chi Yebai is naturally very familiar with these rumors.Besides, Bailiji's corpse control technique originated from southern Xinjiang, so it has a somewhat disgraceful reputation.Shen Guangming's words aroused some thoughts in him. After Chi Yebai pondered for a while, he lightly nodded and agreed with Shen Guangming's opinion: "What you said makes sense, it really does seem like it."

He then told Shen Guangming in detail about the records of Lingyong Zombie in "Strange Stories".

That incident happened more than ten years ago, during the rare heavy snowfall in Lingyong City for decades.Because of the heavy snow and the cold weather, Lingyong was almost like an empty city at night, only watchmen and patrolling people came and went on the pale ground.Due to the continuous heavy snowfall day and night, the residents in the city did not bother to clean up, and in some places, the snow accumulated so high that no one cared about it.After that night the snow stopped and the sun rose, bright but cold.People took tools to clear the snow on the street, and then found several squatting corpses under the thick snow layer.

"A total of seven times were discovered, and there were about a hundred dead." Chi Yebai quickly recalled, "There were poor and rich, men and women, old and young. The dead had no obvious characteristics. In the second discovery After the corpse, the government stepped up patrols. Several times later, the patrolling officers, soldiers and watchmen all said that they saw people walking on the street with a stiff gait, and they didn't respond. Once they chased them, those figures disappeared quickly. "

"It didn't disappear, but it jumped into the snow?" Shen Guangming said, "Just dig the snow and you will know."

"Yes, but no one did it. First, because the rumors at the time were very fierce, saying that it was done by the envoys sent by the gods on the snow mountain to punish the evil deeds in the world. No matter who disturbed the corpse, they would die violently immediately. Everyone avoids it when they see it. The second reason is that although the orientation of the corpses is different, from north to south and east to west, all the corpses are facing the same place.”

Shen Guangming rolled his eyes, and said in surprise, "It's the princess's natal family, and it's here!"

"That's right. People think that maybe the woman who married Di Ren got into something. Di Ren is brave and vicious. The government thinks this matter is very difficult, so they don't pay much attention." Chi Yebai sneered, "Although she is dead Many people are useless."

"Then why did it stop?" Shen Guangming asked anxiously.

"Later, the wealthy people in the city raised money and invited the head of the Sima family from outside. The Sima family is a famous criminal family in my dynasty, and the head of the family at that time was Sima Feng's father, Sima Liangren." Chi Yebai said.

Sima Liangren rushed to Lingyong City overnight with several people, among them was Sima Feng who was about ten years old.The wealthy people in Lingyong City spent a lot of money to invite Sima Liangren, and Sima Liangren did not live up to his trust: in less than three days, he had already found a lot of important evidence.It's just that Sima Liang couldn't enter the mansion at that time, even if many people came forward, they couldn't persuade the people in the mansion at that time to let go.They were not allowed to enter the mansion. Although they wanted to spy at night, they were afraid of being proven guilty. The eager bosses behind them were not happy.

"After a few days, this strange thing no longer happened." Seeing Shen Guangming's expression, Chi Yebai frowned and said, "I don't know the details. Although there are many classics in Jiezilou, the Sima family's The population is very tight, and no information can be dug out. Unless you ask Sima Feng."

Shen Guangming: "Then you ask. Aren't you and him very good?"

Chi Yebai: "...Who is getting along with him? This guy is not a good person."

Shen Guangming swallowed the word "intuition" and nodded seriously, expressing his firm belief in Chi Yebai's words.

"He might arrive tomorrow." Chi Ye frowned, "This matter still has to fall on the people of their family. I was just pulled here to support the scene."

After he finished speaking, he felt that these words were a little sorry for his status as the head of Ying Beishe, and his expression straightened, and he said solemnly: "That's it. You don't need to work on Gan's end, since Shu Lang called me over, I can communicate with Tu Gan myself."

Shen Guangming watched him leave, then bowed his head and continued to work.Although there were many doubts in his heart, he was not so frightened.Probably because he has seen Bailiji's methods, the water corpse is a hundred times more disgusting than the zombies in the snow, and he has already exercised his courage.

After wiping the corridor, Shen Guangming turned to clean Shu Lang's bedroom and study.He walked into Shu Lang's courtyard, and happened to see Shu Lang leading someone out of it.Shu Lang asked his subordinates to leave first, then turned and approached Shen Guangming.

Shen Guangming: "?"

He suddenly remembered the etiquette of slaves, threw the broom quickly, and knelt down: "My lord!"

Shu Lang asked him to get up impatiently, took out two incense candles from his pocket and threw them to him: "Take it. There are few people in the northeast corner, so you can worship if you want."

The incense candle is white and fat, a little heavy, and it is a very good thing.Shen Guangming looked at Shu Lang: "Where did the son find it?"

"Of course there are some in the ancestral hall." Seeing that he put the two incense candles in his arms with great care, Shu Lang couldn't help saying, "My condolences."

"Thank you, son." Shen Guangming said slowly, "My son is kind to the little one, and the little one will never forget it."

He spoke seriously, and Shu Lang listened seriously.Not long after meeting Shen Guangming, it was the first time for him to see such a sincere expression on the face of this deceitful Han.Shu Lang nodded: "There's no need to be so grand, hurry up, don't miss the hour."

Shen Guangming bowed deeply, turned and left, holding the things Shu Lang and Tang Ou gave him in his arms.He suddenly felt that he was a very lucky man.

There are not many good things and good people in this life, but he is so grateful for every one of them.When he decided to leave, he greeted Shu Lang cryptically.Whether Shu Lang could understand was another question, but if he didn't even say hello, he was too rude as a slave.

After returning to his room to get Lin Che's spirit card, Shen Guangming went straight to the northeast corner.The northeast corner of the mansion is the ancestral hall. Shen Guangming found a place behind the ancestral hall, lit the incense candles, and stuck them all on the ground.He kowtowed deeply towards the approximate position of Shaoyi League.

Grief has been washed somewhat blurred by time and various sudden events.Thinking of them at this moment made Shen Guangming almost unable to straighten up.

The fire of the joss stick fluttered in the wind, and the tears fell quickly.Shen Guangming wiped his tears, knelt on the ground and burned paper money one by one.The rough paper was eaten by the short flames, and it turned into ashes.There were still a lot of unburned crumbs, so Shen Guangming gathered them together and set them on fire.

He dug a hole on the ground, buried the ashes, the remaining parts of the joss stick, and Lin Che's spirit card, and kowtowed a few more times.

Getting up to go back, Shen Guangming froze as soon as he turned around.

Under the white wall of the ancestral hall, Xu Zichuan sat quietly.The black cat on his lap straightened its neck and let out a whimper when it saw Shen Guangming turn around.

Shen Guangming sweated quietly behind his back.Xu Zichuan looked suspicious, but his face was very calm.Shen Guangming could even hear Chi Yebai's breathing, but he didn't realize when Xu Zichuan appeared behind him, which surprised him.

Soon remembering that he was still Shu Lang's slave, Shen Guangming knelt down again: "Mr. Xu, I...I..."

He trembled on purpose, his voice trembled, and he looked very frightened: "The little one just wanted to pay homage to his relatives... The little one knew it was wrong! I beg Mr. Xu to forgive me!"

Shen Guangming pretends to be nothing, but his skill of pretending to be afraid is very good.Xu Zichuan didn't see any flaws either, he frowned and said, "Where did you get bought from?"

"Shifang City." Shen Guangming replied obediently, removing the name of Shaoyi League.

Xu Zichuan seemed to have counted the days, and said with a sneer, "I will take advantage of the fire to rob you. When you were bought, the other side of Shifang City was in chaos."

"Yes, yes." Shen Guangming quickly described it vividly, but Xu Zichuan looked at him quietly, with a blank expression on his face.Shen Guangming was startled, fearing that Wen Quxing, who descended from the sky, would see his flaws, so he quickly silenced and lowered his head.

Xu Zichuan didn't punish him, and walked away with the wheelchair creaking.There was a lot of noise when he left this time, and Shen Guangming followed him silently, completely unaware of what this man was doing at the other end of the ancestral hall.

Tang Ou came again at night, and brought Shen Guangming's Roasted Chicken with Honey Sauce from Yangweizhai.

Shen Guangming lived in Di Ren's side, he was full and hungry, and when he saw the roast chicken, his eyes lit up and he wanted to pounce on Tang Ou.

"Be careful! Don't fall." Sitting with him on the roof of the guest room, Tang Ou whispered.The guest room is empty, but it is very safe here.

"It's so fragrant..." Shen Guangming was hungry and anxious, "Hero Tang, you are really the most handsome and powerful hero in the world. I admire you the most. It is said that Kunlun son cooked cranes and snow on the top of the snow mountain, attracting birds and beasts from all directions. Gather..."

Shen Guangming didn't know the allusion, so he just talked nonsense, and even reached out to reach for the roast chicken in Tang Ou's hand.Tang Ou couldn't laugh anymore, and directly pressed the roast chicken on his face: "Eat it."

While eating, Shen Guangming told Tang Ou what happened today, including zombies and Sima Feng.

In the evening, Sima Feng finally arrived.

He is dressed in fiery red clothes, with a red horse under his body, standing out from everyone else.It's just very inappropriate, Shen Guangming remembered what happened when he first met Lin Shaoyi.If Lin Shaoyi is roast duck... Sima Feng is probably roast chicken.

Anyway, his name is also in it... If he fights with the leader... It's like a roast duck and a roast chicken fight... Shen Guangming stared straight ahead, with no expression on his face, his heart was already pounding Played many plays.

Chi Yebai and Shu Lang were waiting for him outside the door.Sima Feng smiled when he saw Chi Yebai: "Xiaobai, you are indeed here."

Chi Yebai's expression froze, his pretty eyebrows were tightened tightly, and he didn't answer him.

Sima Feng sat on the horse, bent over and smiled at Chi Ye, "Are you angry with me? It's dry and cold here, why is your skin so good? What did you put on your hair? Xiaobai... Xiaobai? "

Seeing Chi Yebai getting angry, Shu Lang and all the servants walked away, while Sima Feng was still there shouting non-stop.

Shen Guangming still had no expression on his face, but there were a bunch of lingering and novel plays in the big theater in his heart.

Tang Ou nodded when he heard the words: "The Chi family and the Sima family are family friends. The two have known each other since they were young. It is not a surprise to have one or two nicknames. Sima Feng has a dissolute temperament, and he can do this kind of thing."

Shen Guangming tore a chicken leg and gave it to Tang Ou: "If I had been Chi Dangjia, I would have swung my sword. But this nickname is quite interesting, and it doesn't match Chi Dangjia's appearance."

"But Chi Yebai can't beat Sima Feng. Sima Feng's kung fu is not easy." Tang Ou tore off the skin from the chicken leg and waved it in front of Shen Guangming's eyes, "Xiao Shen, do you want to eat? Do you want to eat?"

Shen Guangming: "...don't eat. No, what is Xiao Shen?"

"Nickname." Tang Ou ate by himself, "How?"

Shen Guangming said he didn't like it.

"Then you little liar." Tang Ou said decisively, "It's a deal, I can't change it."

Shen Guangming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tore the roast chicken fiercely: "Stop playing, there are other things."

Sima Fenglai came, but he didn't look at the corpse, but took a lot of effort to persuade Chi Yebai, the two visited Xu Zichuan's study and talked for a long time.

"Speaking of which, I haven't come out yet, and I haven't heard any sound. There are people from Sima Feng and Shu Lang outside the study, so I can't get close." Shen Guangming regretted.

Tang Ou asked him: "What are you going to do? You are no longer needed to help Chi Yebai find Tu Gan."

"But there is still the matter of Baili Ji." Shen Guangming said his deduction with Chi Yebai.

Tang Ou followed the chicken bones he vomited, and said in a deep voice: "It's just your inference. It's not too late to talk until you have a definite conclusion. Don't fall into it with your head covered."

Just as Shen Guangming was about to say something, Tang Ou asked sharply, "Have you practiced your kung fu well? Can you use the Qiushuang sword? Has your Fang Cun Zhang improved?"

"..." Shen Guangming didn't argue with him, and silently lowered his head to eat the roast chicken, but he was secretly thinking about how to pry some news about Baili Ji from Chi Yebai.

Just thinking about it, Tang Ou suddenly pulled him and jumped down.Shen Guangming quickly put the grilled chicken on his chest, and hid behind the guest room with Tang Ou.

"Brother Tang, there's no need to hide." Sima Feng's voice came briskly from the front, "I have something important to tell you."

Tang Ou had no choice but to walk out with Shen Guangming.Shen Guangming looked at the oil stains on his chest, and then at Tang Ou's chest, feeling very sorry for the oily skin of the half roast chicken in his hand.

Both Sima Feng and Chi Yebai were there, and Chi Yebai was full of displeasure, but Sima Feng was in high spirits.Shen Guangming looked at him a few times: Sima Feng in his impression seemed to always have this expression, only when he left the Xinjiabao hall that day, he showed a dignified expression for a moment, and then he was more like the head of a family.

After several people exchanged pleasantries, Sima Feng finally revealed the reason for looking for Tang Ou.

"Although there are many people in the mansion, I know Mr. Xu is the only one who has been visited by Tang Daxia these two nights." Sima Feng said, "This Mr. Xu is not simple. When he was 13 years old, he wrote a poem for Huakui Yingsha in Chunyi Building during Lantern Festival. But I love it the most. Especially the phrase "The cold fragrance is desolately entering the pillow, and the silk temples are shivering in fear of the spring", it is really wonderful to paint the scene. Xiaobai can recite it back then, can't he?"

Chi Ye's pale face turned slightly red, and he said angrily, "I don't know how to do it!"

After listening to those two lines, Shen Guangming felt a little aftertaste, but he didn't know much about it, so he asked earnestly: "How is the whole poem? I don't think there is any beauty in these two lines."

"Hey, you young child, if you haven't seen it before, you don't understand." Sima Feng put Shen Guangming's shoulders, and said affectionately, "Listen to my brother's explanation for you. What is Hanxiang? To understand Hanxiang, you must first understand What is a woman's body fragrance..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Guangming was pulled to his side by Tang Ou.

"Sima, let's get down to business." Tang Ou said displeased.

Sima Feng said "Oh" twice, and immediately frowned to put on a serious look. Chi Yebai leaned against the tree behind him, and let out a clear sneer.

"Mr. Xu's kung fu is amazing. Whether it is external skills or internal skills alone, it may be on par with me." Sima Feng finally became serious, "Back when my father went to Lingyong City to investigate, the zombies inexplicably stopped appearing in the end .He still had it in his mind when he got home, and it was years ago that he finally sorted out the key clues."

Sima Feng put away the fan in his hand that depicted the beauty of Fragrant Butterfly, and slapped it lightly on the palm of his hand.

"Xu Zichuan was found with his legs broken outside the city. From that day to today, no zombies have appeared in Lingyong City."

Tang Ou: "That doesn't mean he has something to do with this matter."

"But he is indeed related." Sima Feng took a fan and quickly wrote two words in the air, "Xu Zichuan's "Selected Poems of Gold and Jade" was written in the preface. I have seen the magical technique of controlling corpses. In the anthology he compiled, there are also verses that mention the technique of controlling corpses, but they are too obscure, and the author is also recorded as Anonymous, so no one noticed."

"...What does this mean?" Shen Guangming asked hastily when he almost forgot to roast the chicken.

Chi Yebai spoke behind Sima Feng: "Xu Zichuan has confessed to the two of us that he was indeed in southern Xinjiang and learned the art of controlling corpses. But he is not the initiator of these zombie incidents."
