Chi Jinnian was stunned by the scene in front of him.On the day she first entered the ghost town, she met an old woman who faltered, and one accidentally fell to the ground, and the fruits in the bamboo baskets scattered and rolled to the ground.

Today, in the same position, even the posture of the old woman falling down is exactly the same.

As always, the old lady has bad eyesight and cannot touch the scattered fruits.

It was as if the scene of that day reappeared in front of my eyes.Chi Jinnian's hairs stood on end in an instant.

After all, this is a ghost town, and there are ghosts everywhere.

At this moment, Yuan Shao embraced her shoulder from behind, raised his hand to cover her eyes: "Don't be afraid, Master is beside you."

She led Chi Jinnian to the corner of the street and let him sit on the stone steps to relax.Seeing that the other person's face softened a little, she said: "I planned to let you know later, but you ran too fast just now." Yuan Shao raised his finger and pointed at the people on the street: "Apart from that old woman, do you have any friends?" Find out what's wrong with the people on the street."

Chi Jinnian looked at it and replied, "Not only the old lady, they are all the same as the day before yesterday."

"That's right." Yuan Shao replied: "So, the bustling scene here is actually an illusion, which is deliberately let us see by people with ulterior motives."

People with ulterior motives... Could it be that everything in the ghost town is fake?

Yuan Shao seemed to have seen what Chi Jinnian was thinking, and comforted her: "Not everyone is fake, the little girl who showed you the picture book is real."

"Do you remember those picture books?" Yuan Shao deliberately lowered his voice: "I don't remember, I can review it when I go back."

Although Yuan Shao's words were a little meng, Chi Jinnian's expression softened a little.

"Master, when did you find out that they have problems?"

"The last time I met that old woman, when you helped her pick up something, her hand didn't put her hand in the direction of the fruit, and she ignored you when you talked to her."

Chi Jinnian recalled the situation at that time, and Yuan Shao comforted himself, telling him to follow her.It turned out that she knew it at that time.

"It's no wonder we were able to catch Wang Wu so easily. So, Master, have you been cooperating with the people behind the scenes in your investigation these days?" Chi Jinnian suddenly wanted to understand, the attitude of Yuanshao's investigation in the past few days Not as serious as she used to be.Even though she knew how to find a needle in a haystack, Yuan Shao didn't say anything, but just searched one by one like this, which really didn't fit her rigorous personality.

The only explanation is that Yuan Shao is cooperating with the people behind the scenes to act, and when the other party relaxes his vigilance, he is caught out by the other party.

"Not all, after all, Wang Wu may really be the one who harmed Xinghe." Yuan Shao said: "Doesn't the leaves of the acacia tree in his yard explain everything? But as for who ordered him, I don't know. gone."

"So the key question is the ghost king who has never shown up." Chi Jinnian said, "Hey? Master, can ghosts get sick too?"

"Of course. The so-called ghosts don't suffer from illnesses. They just mean that ghosts don't catch colds like humans. However, if it's a spell to exorcise ghosts, getting injured in fighting with others, or encountering bottlenecks in one's own cultivation, it will cause fluctuations in spiritual power. "Sick." Yuan Shao told Chi Jinnian.

But obviously, the problem lies with the ghost king.He refused to show up for a long time, there must be a ghost.

"Don't be afraid." Yuan Shao said, "They make substitutes, so we can do it too."

After returning, Yuan Shao took out the puppet that he had prepared early in the morning.After finding something wrong on the first day, she made puppets of four people on the day she went to buy a skirt and earrings for Chi Jinnian.

The plan was like this. Based on Chi Jinnian's inquiring about the location of the ghost king's bedroom from the little maid at the gate, they took advantage of the moonlight to go out.Zhuang Rong was in charge of letting the wind go, Yuan Shao was in front, and Su Tingxi was in the rear.

The puppet is in the house, and if someone comes, it will not be easily discovered.

But just as dusk fell, the prime minister came over with many gifts.

"Masters, it's a long way from the upper cultivation world to here, and everyone's journey is tiring. In the final analysis, it was Wang Wu who caused such troubles. This is what our king said, and he is responsible for lax supervision. , I specially prepared a small gift to express my apology, and I hope you will accept it."

As he spoke, he commanded a few maids to bring several boxes, large and small, and put them into the house.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the prime minister had no intention of leaving, so he calmly ordered someone to open the box, take out the contents one by one, and explain them in detail.

From the history, to the use, characteristics, placement, and even the maintenance method, if you explain several large boxes one by one, you may get tomorrow.

The intention is obvious.It's just changing the direction to delay time, so that Yuan Shao and the others have no time to do other things.

How can this be done...

"Um, that Prime Minister, aren't you hungry? Come here at this hour, you haven't had dinner yet!" As soon as Chi Jinnian finished speaking, the Prime Minister clapped his hands, and immediately, several servants came in with various food and fruits .

"I have always heard that the immortals in the upper cultivation world are all bigu. Although they asked the servants to prepare some food, they did not dare to serve it directly, for fear of offending the immortals. Since this little immortal has spoken, it is just right , today I have this opportunity to have a drink with all the immortals."

Seeing a few people stunned in place, the Prime Minister looked at them and smiled very politely: "What's the matter, all immortals?"

"It's nothing, since the prime minister is ready, it's not easy for us to ignore his kindness, let's all sit down." Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, he had no choice but to take a step forward.

At this time, Wei Ran got out from nowhere, and suddenly came in front of the crowd. After seeing the Prime Minister, he hurried forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master Prime Minister!"

"you are……"

"Father Wei Hong."

"You are Mr. Wei Yang?" The prime minister was a little shocked. It is said that Wei Yang has practiced martial arts all year round, but why is the person in front of him a little... weak?

Wei Ran looked a little embarrassed: "I am Wei Ran, Erlang of the Wei family."

"Oh oh oh!" The Prime Minister suddenly realized: "I blame the old man for his clumsy eyes, and I hope that the second son of Wei doesn't mind. The old man will punish himself first."

As he said that, the Prime Minister really got himself a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it directly.

Speaking of wine, it's Wei Ran's home court.

"Prime Minister, you are also my elder. It must be my junior's fault that you admit your mistake. I have not come to visit you earlier, so I must toast you."

After drinking a glass of wine, the prime minister froze in place.

Wei Ran looked at her hesitantly: "Master Prime Minister, don't you drink? Are you blaming the younger generation?"

Although the prime minister hesitated, he still took a drink.

Wei Ran, who has been in the fireworks field all year round, not only drinks a thousand glasses without getting drunk, but also has a good ability to persuade people to drink.

"Prime Minister, I met you for the first time today. No wonder people say that you are charming. You are indeed extraordinary. I must take you as an example, and I must respect you three times!"

"Master Prime Minister, the color of your clothes is so beautiful! I will toast you three more glasses!"

"Master Prime Minister, three more cups!"

……

After going back and forth, the prime minister was successfully knocked down.

Wei Ran looked at Chi Jinnian proudly: "Miss!"

Chi Jinnian never expected that this Wei Ran would come out to help her. He looked at her with hesitation, but Wei Ran didn't care, and cupped his fists in a salute: "I said, I'm your man, so naturally I'm helping you." your."

"Thank you." After Chi Jinnian nodded slightly, he said, "This is none of your business. You can go back first."

Wei Ran's smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Chi Jinnian glanced at him.

"Miss, where are you going, don't you plan to take me with you?" Wei Ran's tone was very humble.

But Chi Jinnian replied simply and neatly: "No plan." Then he took Yuan Shao's hand and went out.

Out of Wei Ran's sight, Yuan Shao rubbed Chi Jinnian's hair: "Why are you so good today?"

Yuan Shao is very satisfied with taking the initiative to draw a clear line with others and not accepting others' overtures.

Chi Jinnian imitated Yuan Shao's tone: "When will I be bad? If I am not good, why would Master like me so much?"

It was the first time Chi Jinnian spoke to Yuan Shao in such a tone. Although Yuan Shao was not used to it, he was happy in his heart.The little rabbit who always hides in the innermost side of the cave is finally willing to show his head.

not easy.

After Su Tingxi and the others followed, they set off on the journey.

The ghost king's palace is a bit strange, there are no lamps at night, and there is no one on duty, the entire imperial city is pitch black, and there is only a bright moon hanging high in the sky.

A few people easily touched the ghost king's bedroom.

Zhuang Rong took the lead, Su Tingxi was outside, Chi Jinnian and Yuan Shao continued to walk in.

Although the sleeping hall is magnificent, but under the dark environment, the large-scale space seems a bit gloomy.Especially the moonlight gradually elongates the carved shadows on the window panels, the cold wind blows open the windows, and the veils sway and swing with the night wind.

Always a little weird.Novel qun⒏⒎⒌⒏⒊⒊⒌

After Yuan Shao entered the inner room, he held a bright ball of light in his palm to illuminate the situation in the room for the two of them.

The curtains on the bed were covered by layers of curtains, motionless.

The room was eerily quiet.

But when Yuan Shao lifted the curtain beside the ghost king's bed, he found that the "body" of the ghost king inside was motionless, and the gems on the puppet's head were also dimmed—obviously dead.

The two realized something was wrong, and hurried to run out, but a secret door opened on the side of the wall, and Wei Ran walked out from inside.

"Miss, look, although you don't want to take me with you, I am worried about your safety, so I still follow."

Originally, the purpose of Chi Lin sending Wei Ran to follow Chi Jinnian was to put him between Chi Jinnian and Yuan Shao, so as to disgust her relationship.That's why he was willing to be humble and show his kindness to Chi Jinnian again and again.

But Chi Jinnian was shameless, and repeatedly ignored him.Why, won't Wei Ran get a good look from Chi Jinnian?

That being the case, he can also perform Chi Lin's next task.Wei Ran raised his hand and touched a hidden door by the wall.

It seems that some switch has been flicked.The bricks under Chi Jinnian's feet suddenly fell, and she fell too.

A scream came out, which caught the attention of Su Tingxi and Zhuang Rong.When the two of them ran in, Wei Ran had already run through the secret door again.

Seeing that the bricks and stones on the ground were about to be closed again, Yuan Shao threw a signal from Cheng Yuan to Su Tingxi in front of Su Tingxi: "Call Elder Cheng Yuan to come over and say that the ghost king is dead."

Before Su Tingxi could react, Yuan Shao also jumped down the dark hole, and when Su Tingxi chased after him, the floor tiles were already closed.

Like the Winter Conference, Yuan Shao once again chased Chi Jinnian and left them.
