Chapter 20 [Who are you](1/2)

Did the young scholar take revenge on the people when he was thinking evilly?

In fact, this is just a different statement, and the thing I asked is still the one I just asked about. If the young scholar took revenge on the people, it would mean that he had harmed people.

Once this matter can be determined, the investigation will come to an end. Only by clarifying the truth can we decide how to resolve it...

It's killing!

It's stay!

How to kill?

How can I stay?

After all, the situation of the young scholar is extraordinary. When he has evil thoughts, his anger is too heavy, which is ten times more than Zhang Gui, and he is definitely at the level of a fierce ghost.

If such a ghost harms people, he can destroy a village in a very short time, and dozens or hundreds of people will die in vain.

If this is the case, you must not let it go. No matter how fierce the young scholar is, you must find a way to get rid of him.

But what if the young scholar did not harm others?

I can keep him after finding out!

Although this world has merits as long as it destroys ghosts, Zhang Jingxu discovered another way...

For example, on the night he traveled through time, he used the method of collecting Zhang Gui's bones and returning to the village, which could actually dispel the fog and even have merits from heaven.

This means that when Zhang Jingxu solves ghosts, he has two completely different choices, and no matter which choice he makes, he can earn merit from heaven.

Under this premise, it is particularly important to identify the good and evil of ghosts. You must neither let an evil ghost go, but you cannot kill a good ghost by mistake.

Therefore, Zhang Jingxu was very cautious.

That's why he kept asking Yunniang...

...

However, facing Zhang Jingxu's questioning with a burning look, Yunniang seemed a little abnormal at this moment.

But in the dark night, this pretty girl stood by the well, with a faint sad face, but more of her panic.

Suddenly she made a "thump" sound and she knelt down directly.

"Sir, please, can you spare him? Brother Sun Yun is really pitiful!"

Zhang Jingxu's heart suddenly jumped when she asked for this plea.

His eyebrows subconsciously raised and he asked in a deep voice: "Looking at your panic reaction, can I understand that Sun Yun has really taken revenge on the people and he has killed the people in the village? Right?"

But Yunniang waved her hand quickly and explained desperately: "No, no, he has not harmed anyone, he has never harmed anyone."

Zhang Jingxu frowned even more: "Since he has never harmed others, why did you react so much that you knelt on the ground and begged me despite the wetness at the well..."

He said a little while, and said in a deep voice again: "It is difficult for me to not feel abnormal when you act like you. Obviously you know that he has done evil, so you are so nervous."

"No, no, no..." Yunniang became even more anxious and was about to cry. She waved her hand desperately and kept begging: "He did not do evil, he did not harm anyone. I beg you, please forgive him."

Zhang Jingxu suddenly shouted: "Then let me ask you, why are you like this? Since he has never done anything evil, why do you need to kneel down and beg me?"

Yunniang said 'ah' and looked up at Zhang Jingxu. Her weak little face was full of pitiful expressions, and she said weakly: "I...I'm afraid you will kill him..."

Zhang Jingxu was stunned and asked in surprise: "It's just because of this? No other reason?"

"Yes, yes, that's the only reason!"

Yunniang nodded repeatedly, her voice became even weaker, and she explained hurriedly: "I have been studying with him in recent years. I heard him talk about many things in this world. Although he is a young man who has never left the house, he has gained a lot of knowledge through studying!"

"He told me that there is a kind of practitioner in this world who worships the gods and gains power. It is said that they like to subdue demons and eliminate demons, especially killing ghosts."

"As long as they see ghosts, they will be merciless, and they will be killed regardless of whether they are good or evil."

"He also told me that these people have great power. They come from a place called the Gods' Mansion. When they eliminate demons and ghosts, they can even mobilize the government."

When Yunniang said this, she glanced at Zhang Jingxu timidly and said, "The reason why the little woman kneeled down and begged was because she saw you wearing a public uniform and there was a magical grass in your hand, which always exuded the power that made me palpitations..."

"So, so..." The girl lowered her head weakly and said quietly: "I'm afraid you will kill him."

It turns out that it is because of this!

Zhang Jingxu slowly let out a breath, feeling a little amused.

Yunniang said timidly: "Sir, please, brother Sun Yun is very pitiful. Can you give him up and spare him?"

Such a pretty girl, soft and weak, makes people feel pity and inspires sympathy for the weak.

However, Zhang Jingxu did not agree immediately.

Instead, his eyes were bright, he stared at Yunniang without turning around, and asked in a deep voice: "Although you have explained so much, you have never answered me positively from beginning to end. Did he harm others? Is he kind and evil? You have to say some evidence so that I can make a judgment..."

As he said that, he stopped slightly and said solemnly: "I can tell you clearly that I am not from the God's Mansion, and I have my own set of principles of conduct. I will not eliminate demons and ghosts for no reason."

He said that he stopped again, and looked at Yunniang gently and said, "If you can tell some evidence to prove that Sun Yun, a ghost scholar, has never done anything evil, then you don't have to beg me to spare him... because I won't do anything at all."

Yunniang first said 'ah', and then her face changed to a great surprise.

The girl almost didn't think about it and said hurriedly: "I have evidence, I have evidence. Brother Sun Yun did not harm anyone because he didn't know that he was a ghost."

Don't know that you are a ghost?

In other words, the little scholar did not know that he was dead.

Zhang Jingxu's heart moved and said in his mind: "Sure enough, my guess is not wrong."

He had some doubts before, and felt that the little scholar's situation was very strange. He was obviously surrounded by ghost energy, but the little scholar himself seemed to be unknown.

It seems that in the cognition of this young ghost, he is still the motivated scholar, hoping to change his poverty through studying and lead the people in the village to live a good life.

In this strange state, the little scholar did not realize that he was a ghost, and since he did not know that he was a ghost, he naturally could not use the means of ghosts to harm others.

But why did the young scholar become this state?

Zhang Jingxu looked at Yunniang and asked her new doubts.

However, this time, Yunniang seemed to be confused and shook her head gently and said, "I don't know about your question either. I have very little knowledge and can't answer you."

Zhang Jingxu pondered for a while and said slowly: "Since that's the case, tell me what happened after he died. Maybe I can find out the reason after listening."

"Okay! I'll tell you this!" Yunniang nodded repeatedly, reached out to wipe her tears, and said, "As long as it can be proved that Brother Sun Yun, the little girl will cooperate in everything..."

Zhang Jingxu comforted her warm voice and said softly: "Get up first, stand and talk. There are bumps next to the well, and it is not appropriate for you to kneel down."

Li San immediately approached, reached out and pulled Yunniang up, and smiled and said, "Miss, don't be afraid, our captain is the most kind-hearted."

Yunniang nodded timidly, got up and hurried next to the well.

She sighed quietly and began to tell the story of the little scholar.

"That night, he was beaten to death here, but for some reason, he himself didn't seem to know."

"He seemed to have forgotten that he was beaten to death, and only remembered that he was coming to the water well to get beans."

"After returning home, he even told me excitedly that he would study harder and prepare to take the scientific exam next year."

"But I could tell at a glance that his ghost was the one who came home."

When Yunniang said this, she sighed again and said softly: "But although I could see that he was a ghost, I couldn't bear to tell him the truth. I could only pretend to be happy to help him work as usual..."

"In the days that followed, I gradually felt that the aura on his body was getting stronger day by day, and that rapid progress was terrifying."

"And at one day, there was suddenly a lot of hostility in his breath."

"The growth rate of that anger is even more terrifying, and it soon evolved into a powerful evil thought. However, for some reason, he himself could not detect it."

"Evil thoughts are in your body and cannot be noticed."

"So even though this evil thought continues to be strong, he has never done anything evil."

"On the contrary, the shy boy was studying hard every night and looking forward to participating in the imperial examination."

When Yunniang said this, she looked at Zhang Jingxu and said timidly: "Sir, this is everything after his death. The little woman did not lie, everything she said was the truth."

Zhang Jingxu nodded. He could hear that Yunniang's tone was not like a fake.

Especially the memory-like look on her face and the tenderness in her eyes when she was trapped in memories, it can be inferred that this girl did not lie.

It can also be concluded from this that Xiaoshu never harmed anyone after his life and death. Although his anger is as strong as a fierce ghost, he did not know it from beginning to end.

On the contrary, just like before, the young man who wanted to study and improve himself.

Looking forward to participating in the imperial examination...

Want to change the poverty of the villagers...

...

"Obstinence!"

Zhang Jingxu slowly uttered two words!

He had a vague understanding and guessed why the young scholar's situation was special.

This young man once said that he was paranoid since childhood, and he wanted to change the poverty in the village, so that he still missed it after his death.

Even because of this obsession, he didn't care about the fact that he was beaten to death by the villagers. He should have deliberately chosen to forget at the moment of his death to ensure that he did not harm the villagers after he became a ghost.
To be continued...
