Chu Huayu and Bai Wuchen were about to go back when a woman's shrill cries came from a distant mansion. Then a group of people talked non-stop, as if to comfort the woman. After a while,
, the house lit up the lights one after another, and the whole house lit up. Some of the surrounding residents were awakened by the noise, so they lit the lights and went out. After a while, some people shook their heads and sighed, while others looked curiously.
Chu Huayu: "Bai Mo, I want to go over and take a look. Maybe there will be any clues."
Bai Wuchen smiled: "Okay, I'll go with you."
The two of them jumped up and went straight to the mansion. When they got closer, they saw that it was the "Gu Family Courtyard."
The ancestors of the Gu family lived in Liquan Town a long time ago. They were the first to discover the Liquan Town. The ancestors of the Gu family were good merchants and used the water from the Liquan to make wine and opened up a path of wealth. Since then, the Gu family has been doing business for generations and has made a fortune.
Ke Tongtian is the most powerful and wealthy businessman in Liquan Town.
The shouting in the Gu family compound has not stopped yet.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I know I was wrong, sister Yaofang, please spare me! I will definitely turn around and burn incense and worship Buddha for you. Let us go! Please..." The woman in the house
People kept shouting, and someone beside her kept comforting her.
Thinking that someone was committing murder at night, Bai Wuchen took Chu Huayu into the mansion with Qinggong. There were still funeral flags hanging everywhere in the Gu family courtyard. It must have been shortly after the funeral. Bai Wuchen and Chu Huayu watched for a while.
No one committed any crime, only the woman kept hiding with her head in her hands and crying.
The servant looked at Bai Wuchen carefully and shouted loudly: "Madam, madam, an immortal is here, an immortal is here!"
The woman seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and threw herself at Bai Wuchen, kneeling down and saying, "Sir, save me, save me! I don't want to die, I don't want to die..." After saying that, she passed out.
The woman who fainted was Mrs. Gu from the Gu family compound.
A few days ago, four people died from the Suspense Puppetry, two of them were from the Gu family compound, one was Mr. Gu, and the other was the only son of the Gu family, Gu Zihang, the eldest son of the Gu family.
Once those two people died, now the only direct relatives of the Gu family were Mrs. Gu and Miss Gu, Gu Ziyuan.
"lady!"
"Mom! What's wrong with you!" When Gu Ziyuan saw Mrs. Gu fainted, she threw herself at Mrs. Gu, held her in her arms and cried bitterly. And because she saw Bai Wuchen and Chu Huayu climbing over the wall, she said with a grudge: "
Who are you? Why did you break into my Gu family compound in the middle of the night!"
Chu Huayu immediately comforted him and said: "Girl, it is a sin to break into your house, but you have misunderstood. We are all cultivators. When we heard your mother's cries, we thought it was because we were in danger and wanted to come in and take a look.
How can I help? I'm afraid I'll break in if I miss the opportunity."
Seeing that Miss Gu's doubts had not been eliminated, the servant said: "Miss, I recognize the runes on this immortal's clothes. Xu is the immortal chief of Fanyin Hall. Fanyin Hall is a famous sect that helps the world and saves people. This immortal chief
He must be a good person!"
Chu Huayu smiled and said: "Little brother, you are well-informed!"
"Hehe, where is it?"
Gu Ziyuan gradually put aside her doubts and said: "Two immortals, please save my mother!"
Chu Huayu: "We will do our best, right Bai Mo!"
"Yeah!" Bai Mo nodded.
Without further ado, Bai Wuchen knelt down on one knee, felt the woman's breath, and said, "Don't worry, I just fainted."
Miss Gu patted her chest to comfort herself and said, "That's good."
Bai Wuchen frowned again and said, "But why was she cursed with a heart curse?"
The inner curse is a curse that can cause hallucinations. The person who is cursed will see the things or people they fear most from time to time. Many people who are cursed are eventually tortured to death by the illusion, which can also be said to be scared to death.
.
Miss Gu was startled: "The inner curse? What is that? I don't know why my mother is like this. Does the immortal have a way to break it?"
"Yes." Bai Wuchen knelt down on one knee, tapped Mrs. Gu's forehead, and mobilized her spiritual power to recite the incantation. The resentment on Mrs. Gu's face gradually dissipated, and finally, the pale face slowly became clear.
Bloody.
Bai Wuchen breathed a sigh of relief: "The inner curse has been removed."
Mrs. Gu slowly opened her eyes: "What happened to me just now?"
"Mother." Gu Ziyuan and several servants helped Mrs. Gu up: "It was this immortal who saved you."
When Mrs. Gu saw Bai Wuchen, she grabbed him and begged: "Please save me! I really can't stand it anymore! I don't want to die!"
Gu Ziyuan pulled away Mrs. Gu's hand that was tightly grasping Bai Wuchen's and said, "Mom, let's invite the two immortals into the room and talk slowly."
Mrs. Gu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
The Gu family has been in business for generations. Even though the large courtyard of this deep house is hung with mourning flags and white cloth, it cannot cover up its grandeur.
After several people entered the house, Mrs. Gu gradually calmed down under Gu Ziyuan's comfort, and said slowly: "As you know, the Immortal Chief has recently seen the art of hanging silk puppets in Liquan Town."
"I've heard a little bit about it." Bai Wuchen said and looked at Chu Huayu.
Chu Huayu smiled and said: "Bai Mo, it seems that our visit this time was not in vain! Mrs. Gu, I would like to hear the details."
Mrs. Gu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said: "The Immortal didn't know something. A few days ago, the silk puppet technique appeared and killed four people in Liquan Town. They were all unarmed and ordinary people.
Two of these four people, one is my husband and the other is my son! Wuwuwu..."
Chu Huayu: "Mrs. Gu, Miss Gu, my condolences."
Bai Wuchen: "Who are the other two deceased people?"
Mrs. Gu: "One is Aunt Sun, and the other is Wang Mazi. They are both poor people... Please help me, please. I am sure that I will be the next person to be killed!"
Bai Wuchen: "Madam, how do you determine that the next person to die will be you?"
"I... the immortal didn't know something. After the death of the master and the child, I was haunted by evil spirits every night. No matter when, I would see the evil ghost asking for my life! She said, she said that the next one would die.
That person is me!"
Bai Wuchen: "Those are all illusions, madam. You saw those things because you were under a curse. Now that the curse has been removed, everything must have happened for a reason. Madam, you are so panicked just now. Please tell me what you are doing."
Tell us in detail what you fear."
Mrs. Gu's eyes were dull and uncertain, and she said intermittently: "I don't know... I don't know what to say..."
Seeing this, Chu Huayu asked: "Excuse me, madam, who is the sister Yaofang you just called...?"
Mrs. Gu suddenly laughed wildly and said: "Hahahaha, Yaofang... Yaofang... she is a bitch, she is the one who wants to take my life!"
Chu Huayu seemed to have caught something and asked: "Is the Yaofang mentioned by the lady a deceased person?"
"Yes, she died, she deserved it! Who asked her to seduce my husband? I was just seeking justice!"
Chu Huayu continued to ask: "Did Madam Yao Fang's death happen?"
Mrs. Gu shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, no, I didn't kill her! What does it have to do with me if she dies? Why would she harm me like this after she dies?" Mrs. Gu became a little emotional as she said this: "Maybe...
Maybe she killed my husband, my son, Wang Mazi and Aunt Sun, and she was the one using the silk puppet technique to kill people!"
"Mom, please calm down first. You two immortals, I'm sorry. The death of my father and brother was such a huge blow to my mother, that's why my mother is like this."
"It doesn't matter."
No matter how deep the resentment of Yaofang's soul is, no matter how powerful the evil spirit is, it is impossible to summon the mountain ghost to manipulate the hanging silk puppet technique. Moreover, Mrs. Gu just cried in the courtyard, and her tone was obviously apologetic.
Regarding Yaofang, why are you insulting her like this now? Bai Wuchen and Chu Huayu had already heard that what Mrs. Gu said was half true and half false, so they looked at each other and smiled and asked no more questions.
Chu Huayu used his spiritual power to twist out an autumn leaf with his fingers, drew a talisman on it, then handed it to Mrs. Gu and said: "Madam, don't worry, you should keep this thing safe. If you are in danger, it can be protected by a barrier."
If I sense you, I will come to save you."
"Thank you, Immortal! Thank you, Immortal!"
Bai Wuchen: "We still have something to do, let's say goodbye first."
It was dark at night. After leaving the Gu family compound, Bai Wuchen and Chu Huayu did not return directly to the Xuanming Spiritual Realm, but walked in Liquan Town.
First it was the hanging silk puppet technique, then it was the mountain ghost, and now there is another girl Yaofang. These clues seemed to be connected but also seemed to have no connection. The night was cold, and Bai Wuchen saw Chu Huayu holding his hands and shivering, so he kept silent
Silently, he took off his robe and put it on Chu Huayu.
"Thank you, Bai Mo."
Bai Mo lowered his head and smiled: "Between you and me, there is no need to say thank you."
Chu Huayu smiled slightly: "Bai Mo, you have changed a lot."
Bai Wuchen smiled and said, "Xiao Yu'er, do you think I've gotten better or worse?"
"How should I put it? You were very good before, and you are very good now, but it's just different! It's been ten years! People will always change."
The two of them walked to the door of an inn unknowingly. It was so late, but the inn was still open! The inn had a simple building shape. Bai Wuchen and Chu Huayu walked in and took a look. Maybe it was because there were fewer guests at night, so
It's very tidy inside.
The waiter in the shop yawned. When he saw someone coming in, he immediately stepped forward and said, "You two are objective, do you think I should stay in the hotel?"
Bai Wuchen: "Stay in the hotel."
"Okay." The boy handed Bai Wuchen a key. Seeing this, Chu Huayu hurriedly said: "Little brother, you misunderstood, we want two rooms!"
The boy was a little surprised and looked at Bai Wuchen.
Bai Wuchen was a little disappointed and said, "Then I want two rooms."
The waiter handed Chu Huayu another key: "Okay! It's a coincidence that our guest is here. If it's past midnight, we will be closing. Ah Fu, please bring your guest up quickly."
"okay!"
Bai Wuchen handed the boy a few taels of broken silver and then followed Ah Fu up with Chu Huayu. The two decided to rest first and ask about the silk puppet technique in Liquan Town tomorrow.
The two entered their respective rooms and saw a bed beside the corner. There were fragrant pillows and quilts on the couch. The bed tents were embroidered with patterns. The wall tiles were spotless. The two lay down and gradually fell asleep.
