Master, please be careful!

After walking with the female ghost for about half a stick of incense, through several deep alleys, I arrived near another city gate.

Xie Huaijun tried it without giving up, but even with Lingxi, he couldn't break through the two city gates that looked like they could drop scum with a touch.

Afterwards, the female ghost stopped at one place and saw that it was a wealthy family and refused to take another step.

There are few houses in the whole street, and there are not many bones on the street, but the disgusting rancid smell is very strong.

The little fox was about to start sneezing again, and kept burrowing into Xie Huaijun's sleeve, like a little mouse burrowing into a hole.

However, if the house was not dusty, it might be quite exquisite and magnificent.

The two stone lions at the door are covered with dust, and the fine patterns underneath cannot be seen clearly.There are two door knockers with unique shapes inlaid on the gate of the house. In the past, if the rich and noble families were very particular, they would make two door knockers full of nobleness to show their family status.Not to mention the huge plaque hanging above, although the handwriting on it has been blurred to the point of being illegible, the wood has not rotted yet.The plaque was actually made of a whole piece of rosewood.

It seems that this female ghost is trying to lead them here.

Maybe it was because Mr. Xie Huai didn't move for a long time, and the female ghost waited a little impatiently, so she quietly turned around and faced Mr. Xie Huai.

Turning around, Xie Huaijun secretly thought something was wrong.

The female ghost's face was covered with dark red blood stains. I don't know if it is impossible to tell where the nose and mouth are or there is no nose and mouth at all. Only two bloody eyes can be seen on the whole face, which is tangled with blood. long hair.The most important thing is that this female ghost has scars all over her body, but there is a big hole in her heart.

This female ghost had her heart dug out before she died!

Xie Huaijun felt his scalp go numb and was about to take a step back when the ghost flashed a silver light in her hand and rushed towards him.

"Give it to me...hehehe..."

The instinct of practicing swords for many years drove Xie Huaijun to shake the dagger away with his sword, and kicked the female ghost between the waist and abdomen.

With a flick of the long sword, the female ghost was lifted into the air, the dagger was thrown out, and the sleeve was ripped off.Xie Huaijun slipped his wrist, and the blade of the sword slid across, cutting a long wound on the female ghost's body, and a stream of black blood gushed out and splashed all over the ground.

The female ghost also fell in response, turning into a pool of black blood.

For ghosts and monsters, if the body was not complete during life, even if you become a ghost, you will still want to find the part you lost day and night.Those who can't find their own will turn into evil spirits and kill people, and put parts of other people's corpses on themselves.However, part of other people's corpses is not their own after all, and will eventually rot and disappear, so such evil spirits will often kill people to make up for their own shortcomings.

This female ghost had her heart dug out before she was alive, and I don't know how many people she killed to seize her heart.

Perhaps the previous words were just to attract his attention, so that this female ghost could kill and steal her mind.

Fortunately, Xie Huaijun's cultivation base is not there, and there is a fairy sword full of aura like the Lingxi Sword as a weapon. If it is an ordinary long sword, Xie Huaijun really can't kill this female ghost.

But... this female ghost is not the rightful owner of this place but can wander around, so she must have an inseparable connection with the owner of this place.

And in the house in front of him, there might be some clues.

It's just that the current priority is not to find clues.Xie Huaijun picked up the female ghost's dagger with a smile, weighed it, saw that the blade was very sharp, and pulled out the little boy hanging from his arms.

"It's time for you to get your nails done, little brat." Xie Huaijun just sat on the ground carelessly.The little fox felt something was wrong and struggled crazily, and the howling sounded a bit pitiful.

"Pretend to be pitiful?" Xie Huaijun's smile became even brighter, and he wiped the blood on the dagger with his torn sleeve, and pressed the little fox's paw with the other hand, no matter how hard the little fox struggled, he couldn't break free.

"Thinking beautiful."

Xie Huaijun's slender fingers held the dagger and flew around, one knife at a time.The little fox was forced to scratch Xie Huaijun's thigh with his small paws, but Xie Huaijun took out a talisman from the Qiankun bag and stopped him directly. A few low calls.

After trimming the front paws, he trimmed the rear paws again, this time it was even more extreme, and let the little fox face down and tail up, the nine big fluffy tails seemed to bloom, revealing two small claws from inside.

Having had his paws repaired in this position, the little fox immediately ran up to scratch Xie Huaijun's face the moment he was untied from the immobilization amulet.

However, the enemy was too strong and too tall, and he was picked up by the tail before he even touched his face.

Knowing that the strength of the enemy and ourselves is too great, the little fox languishes down, resigned to his fate and being held by the tail.

Seeing that the boy didn't resist, Xie Huaijun stuffed him back into his clothes.

"Kids—you should behave yourself." Xie Huaijun expressed his satisfaction.

The little fox Shen Jue expressed hatred for this person.

The things to be done are done, it's time to see what interesting things are in this house.

Xie Huaijun stretched out his hand to push open the rotten wooden door. The cold touch of the wooden door made his fingers tremble slightly, and at that moment a chill spread throughout his body along his fingers.

The wooden door came in response with a babble, and a strong smell of dust hit the face, and even a layer of dust fell from the door frame.

Entering from the main entrance, there is a screen wall in front of the door, on which the image of magpies climbing plums is carved.Passing through the screen wall is a layer of hanging flower door, but this door has not been closed, but is wide open, and the courtyard and main room behind the door can be seen at a glance.

There are corridors and wing rooms on both sides, and the light is dim, so they can't see clearly.

There are flints and lanterns at the door of the Chuihua Gate. Xie Huaijun tried it, and it really could be lit.

After lighting a lantern, Xie Huaijun began to explore.Seeing the light outside, the little fox poked his head out to look out. He was quite courageous. He was not even afraid of female ghosts before. Now that there is light, he is even more fearless.

It's just that the two small eyes were shining strangely by the light. If there were other people around, they might be scared to death by the little fox.

Enter the main room first, which should be the room of the owner of the house.As soon as the door was pushed open, the smell of carrion came again, Xie Huaijun held his breath early, and waited for the smell of carrion to dissipate before breathing.And the little fox only showed one head, and he was not as foresight as Xie Huaijun, so he honestly took a big breath, this time he didn't sneeze, and almost passed out.

There were only two bones lying on the ground in the room. The bones were wearing shrouds with cushions under them. It was likely that someone had tidied them up for the funeral, but for some unknown reason the funeral was not held until the corpses decomposed and the bones were exposed.

Other than that, there was nothing else useful, so Xie Huaijun quit the main room and went to the wing room instead.

Walking through the corridor, there are still a few white bones wearing clothes in the corridor. Nothing can be seen on the bones, but the clothes are all scratched at the left heart.Although the slightly larger hole in the clothes may not necessarily be the heart, but there are no other traces on the body of the deceased. It should be that the heart was dug out to death, so there are no other wounds.

It's just why you want to dig out your heart, which is very doubtful.

That female ghost had her heart gouged out, and now the people in this house have also been gouged out. Could it be that the people in the entire Nanming City all died of gouging out their hearts?

If there is revenge, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to kill directly?Insisting on killing people with such cruel means shows that the murderer has an extraordinary obsession with heart-digging.

That female ghost might be the murderer, but if she was the ghost that killed the entire city, then she should have become a resentful ghost at this time, and Xie Huaijun's current cultivation base would not kill her no matter what.

The female ghost was killed easily, which proved that she didn't have enough grievances, and she didn't kill many people after her death.

As for before death, it is unknown.

The side room where Mr. Xie Huai came from happened to be turned into a study room. Where there are books, there are usually letters and other things. Maybe these things will mention why the whole city died.

There should be no dead people in the study, only the smell of dust.The study is not too big, it is a place to rest and drink tea as soon as you enter the door, next to it is a long table, and behind the table is a row of bookshelves, which are densely packed with books.

In addition, there is an antique shelf on the side, on which are some antique vases and the like, which seem to be quite old, at least hundreds of years old.

Xie Huaijun put the lantern aside, and first turned over the table that had been covered with a thick layer of dust.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to find what I wanted.

It was a diary.

The person who wrote this notebook was probably a woman, with soft strokes and round fonts, not as strong as a man's hand.

This reminded Xie Huaijun of the female ghost who had just died.

Could it be the diary of this female ghost?

It's just that the female ghost has disappeared, and the actual situation is unknown. Even if the female ghost is still alive, she is already unconscious and can't say anything.

Xie Huaijun opened the notes, the first dozens of pages were mostly short stories from the women's parents, and there were no clues.Skimming through a few pages quickly, Xie Huaijun found that a few pages of the notes had been torn out, and the content of the notes changed after a few pages were torn off.

The night of March [-].

A strange thing happened in the city today. The only son of Grandpa Zhao's family in the east of the city died suddenly. It is said that he was fine last night, so why did he pass away overnight.

Things are not going well these days, but I just hope that my father's illness will not recur again.

The night of March [-]th.

Several people died one after another in the city, and it was rumored in the neighbors that there were monsters.I heard from the yamen police that the people who were killed recently had their hearts dug out.People are panicked, afraid that something will happen.

Is it...something bad is going to happen.

My father forbade me to mention it, but I was still afraid, and always felt that what happened in the city was related to what happened before.

March [-], sunny night.

Today, my father's health is much better, and he can even go out for a stroll.

Just thinking about how my father recovered from his illness made me uneasy.

Thinking of my Gu Lang, I was even a little scared.

I have always wondered why Gu Lang committed suicide.

There is a goblin who caught his eyes, I have asked the immortal to get rid of that goblin, why Gu Lang still wants to die.

I am the wife who was ordered by your parents and agreed by the matchmaker. How could you be blinded by a monster!

You deserve to die!

I don't care about marrying you!

March [-], rainy night.

More and more people have died recently, but the Yamen is still helpless, allowing the murderer to go unpunished.

My father told me that the whole family would move out if he got better. There are bad things in this city.So many people died for no reason and the murderer can't be found, it must be the goblin's accomplice to take revenge.

Yes, go, get out of here.

Just leave, just leave...
