Quick travel life mentor system

Chapter 79 The World of Immortals (IV)

Zhang Yuanwai lost his beloved son, and he seemed to be ten years old in just half a month. If he hadn't had an older son to take care of him, the entire Yuanwai mansion would have collapsed.

Now that I heard that the disciples from Mount Shu came here to collect demons, I rushed out to meet them. When I saw Zhu Sang, I wanted to kneel down. Zhu Sang was embarrassed to accept his kneeling, fearing that his life would be lost, so he hurriedly helped him to the seat of honor. .

"Mr. Zhang, there is no need to be so polite. Subduing demons and eliminating demons is the duty of my disciples in Shushan. Please also explain in detail the situation of the young master being entangled by monsters. Remember, don't let go of any details. For example, the young master was the first When did something go wrong, was there anything wrong before that, where have you been, who you have met, and so on, you have to talk about everything, big or small."

"Yes... Rui'er started to feel something wrong a month ago. No, it should be more, right... yes, it was last month! The [-]th of last month was the anniversary of my father's death. I took Ming'er and Rui'er with me Er went to pay respects outside the city, and when Rui Er came back, things started to go wrong!"

Tomb-sweeping... It is indeed easy to encounter some monsters and ghosts...

"Then when you went to worship, did the young master stay with you all the time?"

"Really..." Zhang Yuanwai thought for a while, "I have been busy preparing things for worship, and I never paid attention..."

At this time, the old butler suddenly remembered, "No, young master, for a while, he said that the inn was too stuffy, and he wanted to go out to get some air. At that time, everyone was busy and no one followed...it must be that time...it's all my fault ! It’s all my fault! If I had found someone to follow me at that time, I wouldn’t have…”

Zhu Sang stood up, "The deceased is dead, and blindly blaming myself now will not help. Please ask the old man to take me to the young master's yard to have a look, maybe I can see something."

"Yes, what the girl said is, please come with me."

I don’t know what Little Master Zhang’s yard was like before, but now it is indeed lifeless. It is clearly midsummer, but there is no leaf on the trees in the yard, as if they are dead, and the weeds on the ground have also turned yellow, like here All vitality has been taken away.

Zhu Sang opened the door and entered the house, and the house was in a mess, as if no one had lived in it for more than ten years, not to say that there was a lot of dust, but the bed curtains, bedding, and tablecloths were all tattered like quilts. Something was forcibly torn apart.

The smell in the room has dissipated, after all, it has been nearly half a month, but Zhusang still found a bunch of yellow hairs in the gap between the bed boards.

I thought it was a vixen at first, but looking at the color and feel, it doesn't look like a fox, does it?

"System, what kind of animal hair is this?"

"Testing... the host is a weasel, which is commonly known as a weasel."

It turned out to be a weasel...

Zhu Sang glanced at the tuft of hair to the old housekeeper and Zhang Yuanwai behind him, "This is a weasel, it must have been attracted by the spirit of the young master, and followed him back to the city..."

Zhang Yuanwai turned pale with shock, "This...could it be said that the people in Chang'an City these days are... oh, what a crime..."

"Member Zhang, don't panic," Zhu Sang knew that he had made a slip of the tongue. "This is just my conjecture. Besides, is it possible that someone used a knife to kill someone, and others would blame the blacksmith for not making knives? The weasel's fault for this matter, Zhang Don’t blame yourself outside the staff.”

"Miss Xie, for explaining, but after all, this matter was caused by a dog, no matter how you say it, it has caused others..."

"It's okay."

"By the way, there is one more thing." Zhang Yuanwai was a little anxious, "My wife has been hysterical since I was scared by the corpse that day. I wonder if the girl can help?"

Zhu Sang thought for a while, "System, is Baicao Dan useful for this kind of...?"

"There is an old saying in human beings that heart disease needs heart medicine."

"That's why it can't be cured!"

"..."

Zhu Sang sighed and shook his head, "Heart disease needs to be healed by heart medicine. Madam is too frightened, and I can't do anything about it, but I can find someone outside the staff to prepare some soothing soup, and I will get rid of the monster later. Presumably Madam's condition is also serious. It can ease a little."

Zhang Yuanwai also knew that he was in trouble, so he hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted, "If you can really get rid of this monster, if you can use me in the future, just tell me."

"Mr. Zhang is polite, so I won't waste any more time. I have to go to the Liu Mansion to check."

"That girl, go slowly... I have something to tell the girl in advance. The Liu family is no better than ours. He is the only son. The whole family regards him as a treasure, and now he is gone... The attitude of the Liu family is inevitably a little extreme, the girl must be careful. Don't talk about the rumors outside..."

"Thank you for the reminder, the dead are the most important, and I will pay attention to it."

After arriving at Liu's house, Zhu Sang realized that Zhang Yuanwai was still talking lightly. The whole Liu's house was hung with white silk, and the door of the house was not closed, just wide open. She poked her head in and took a look. No one knows where they went.

Zhusang hesitated for a moment whether to go in without authorization, but actually there are enough clues right now, there is no need to come to Liu's house, but just out of curiosity, she wanted to take a look.

After thinking about it, Zhusang still went in. It is estimated that even if she knocked on the door panel, no one would come to the door to take a look at her.

The interior was even more depressing than Zhusang had imagined. The fallen leaves were piled all over the ground, and Zhusang smelled a faint smell when he walked forward. It was not the ordinary kind, like something rotten.

She hurriedly took two steps and came to the main hall, and found two corpses lying there. Maggots had appeared on the surface of the corpses. It looked like they had been dead for four or five days.

Zhu Sang covered her mouth and took two steps back, resisting the discomfort in her stomach, and quickly inspected the Liu Mansion.

Except for those two corpses, there was no one else, and if nothing else happened, judging by their clothes, they should be Master Liu and Mrs. Liu, and they should have committed suicide.

After all, Zhusang couldn't bear them to lie here all the time, but if he reported to the police, he would probably be the first suspect who entered without permission, so he dug a hole in the backyard, buried the two of them, and set up a simple one. A wooden sign, so that people who come here can know who is buried here.

After finishing all these, Zhusang left Liu's mansion and went to Gu Xiucai's home.

According to the information that Zhu Sang had inquired before, Gu Xiucai's name was Gu Yan, and his character was Jinzhi. The day before the exam, he caught a cold and had a high fever in the exam room. He didn't know what he had written. The second time he had a sudden abdominal pain during the exam, and the third time he was late...

The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were held once every three years, and once failed, the next time would be three years later, but Gu Yan was already grown up, so he simply gave up his thoughts and made a living by writing letters for others and buying calligraphy and paintings. He was alone and frugal. It's not too bad.
