Brother, why is he like this?

Shen Lingyuan gathered his spiritual energy on his fingertips and tapped on the portrait.

The portrait gave off a faint halo, and a moment later, a phantom appeared in midair.

Shen Lingyuan frowned slightly.It turned out that the phantom was not Miss Gu—not even a lady, but a scholar.

The scholar hung his head in the air, not moving.Shen Lingyuan tapped his fingertips again, and sent some spiritual power, the scholar trembled, opened his eyes, but his consciousness was still not clear, so he started to move around, shouting "Yan'er" incessantly.

After shouting for a while, he found that his hands were transparent, and he was terrified. He couldn't help trembling, and shouted: "This...what's going on! I...I'm dead? Yes...I'm already dead, burned died."

He sat slumped on the ground, looked at his hands in a daze for a while, and then raised his head to look at the surrounding environment.His eyes were puzzled at first, and when he saw the portrait behind him, he shouted "Yan'er" with a trembling voice, and then wanted to pounce on it, his transparent fingers continuously passed through the portrait.

"who are you?"

The scholar suddenly raised his head when he heard the voice, and then saw two people standing not far from the room, and shouted: "Who are you?! Are you a human or a ghost?"

Shen Lingyuan said: "We are monks of Jianzong. Who are you? What is your relationship with Miss Gu?"

The scholar shrank his eyes, seemed a little scared, and said tremblingly, "I...I am Liu Yunsheng. It's Yan'er...it's Miss Gu's fiancé-in-law."

It turned out to be the son of the capital that A Yuan said had an engagement with Miss Gu. How could he come to Qiandeng Town?Shen Lingyuan glanced at Ye Tan, and saw that Ye Tan was holding Liuyun Sword in his arms, but his face was facing the dressing table.

Shen Lingyuan continued to ask: "You said you were burned to death, what happened?"

Hearing this, Liu Yunsheng's face showed resentment, his eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's Gu Chang'an! Gu Chang'an burned me to death!"

Gu Chang'an is exactly the name of Master Gu.

Gu Chang'an has evil spirits on him, but it's because he killed Liu Yunsheng?This is unexpected.Thinking of the dilapidated courtyard next to Gu's mansion, Shen Lingyuan asked: "But in the courtyard next to Gu's mansion?"

Liu Yunsheng sneered, and said, "That's right! Everyone in the world calls Gu Chang'an a good man, but who would have thought that he is a heinous person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and kills my uncle!"

As Liu Yunsheng spoke, his breathing gradually became rapid, his eyes were red, and his soul was full of resentment.

Shen Lingyuan sent another bit of spiritual power, and Liu Yunsheng calmed down slowly.Shen Lingyuan said lightly: "Just tell me."

"My family and the Gu family were family friends. The Gu family had no children, and they only had a daughter at the age of 40, named Feiyan, who was held in the palm of my hand like a pearl and a treasure. I am the youngest son of the family, about the same age as Yan'er, The two families got married. Yan'er and I grew up together, we were childhood sweethearts, and when we were old, we would marry."

Speaking of this, Liu Yunsheng slowly showed a little smile on his face, and then the smile twisted and turned into pain: "But the officialdom in the capital is complicated, and traitors are in power. Hmph, Gu Changan, an old man, is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. So he resigned and returned to his hometown, and persuaded my father to resign together. My father was fearless and determined to deal with the traitor to the end... But he was framed by the traitor and imprisoned, and the whole family was assigned. I escaped desperately... Think I beg my father-in-law to save my family..."

Liu Yunsheng's eyes became confused again, entangled in despair and anger, he raised his voice: "Who knows this old thief! He actually said that my father was to blame! If you don't help me save people, don't tell me, and lock me in the old house and don't allow me to go out Half a step! I secretly went to find Yan'er, only to find out that they want to regret their marriage and marry Yan'er to someone else..."

Liu Yunsheng was panting, and it took a long time before he continued to speak: "Yan'er naturally refused, we discussed running away, but was caught by old thief Gu. He knew that Yan'er and I were married, this beast! Fame, so cruel that he pushed Yan'er into the lake and drowned him, and then locked me in the old house and set fire to him... Does he think that no one will know about his evil deeds like this!"

With a bang, the wind blew open the half-closed windows.The window sash hit the rhombic mirror on the dressing table, and the mirror was hit on the ground and rolled twice before stopping.The black clouds that had rolled all day were now lower and lower, and a torrential rain was brewing.

Ye Tan leaned two steps towards the window expressionlessly.

Shen Lingyuan walked over and saw a osmanthus tree in the courtyard swaying in the wind.He closed the window, picked up the Linghua mirror again, looked at the blurred and distorted figure in the mirror, and asked, "Where are the three servants of the Gu family?"

Liu Yunsheng was still immersed in the emotions just now, slightly startled, and asked, "What?"

Shen Lingyuan repeated it calmly: "Did you kill the three servants of the Gu family?"

Liu Yunsheng said: "What servant? I have never killed anyone."

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a loud thunder and an explosion, and the world was brightened.

Shen Lingyuan waited for the thunder to pass before smiling slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "So that's it, you haven't killed anyone."

But Ye Tan spoke at this moment and asked, "How did you get into the painting?"

Liu Yunsheng still had a dazed look on his face, and murmured: "I don't know... I drew this painting for Yan'er... I was burned to the point of losing consciousness, and it will be now when I wake up again."

Ye Tan was silent.

Shen Lingyuan casually played with the mirror in his hand, as if he was talking to himself, or to someone: "Then, who killed someone?"

Neither Ye Tan nor Liu Yunsheng answered.

Shen Lingyuan chuckled, put the Linghua mirror on the dresser bracket, and said: "I see, it is true that Miss Gu turned into a ghost to cause trouble, now seven days have passed, the ghost killed someone, the resentment dissipated, and the soul disappeared. Liu Yunsheng's soul is trapped in the painting, and we will bring him back to the mountain to save him. As for Gu Chang'an...we only care about ghosts and ghosts, and don't care about mortal affairs, let him fend for himself."

Ye Tan nodded.Before Liu Yunsheng could say anything, Shen Lingyuan took him into the painting.

Shen Lingyuan rolled up the painting and took Ye Tan out.

After leaving Gu's mansion, Ye Tan turned to Shen Lingyuan's direction and said, "Senior brother..."

Shen Lingyuan put his index finger on his lips and let out a "shh".

Ye Tan then closed his mouth again.

The strong wind tore the robes of the two of them. Shen Lingyuan raised his head and saw the pale lightning strike down one after another, splitting the dark night, and said to himself: "This rain should also fall."

……

After the two left, a figure floated out of the door and stood in front of the osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

The figure lowered his head and stared at the roots of the osmanthus tree, and sneered in a low voice: "Exorcism? Heh, I want you to never be reincarnated!" He raised his palm and was about to move when he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Yan'er!"

Looking back, the figure looked crazy, with hatred in his eyes, and a mole of tears under his eyes, it was Gu Feiyan.Seeing the two elders of the Gu family coming together, her complexion changed and she froze in place.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no light in the courtyard. There were no candles in the pale lanterns, only empty shells dangling under the eaves.

Seeing that the midnight was approaching, Gu Chang'an and his wife went out quietly.As soon as he looked up, he saw a figure standing in the courtyard with his back to them floating in the air.

"Yan'er...is that you? Have you come to see us?"

Gu Changan staggered forward, wanting to touch Gu Feiyan, but didn't dare, for fear that this was a dream that would shatter if touched.

Gu Feiyan stood where he was, without speaking.She turned her head away from looking at Gu Changan and the two, but raised her palm again.Following her movements, there was a loud bang, a flash of white light, and a thunderbolt hit the osmanthus tree.

The osmanthus tree fell in response, revealing the soil under the tree, and a scorched black head and several dead bones buried in the soil.

Gu Chang'an's originally horrified eyes suddenly became resentful: "Liu Yunsheng! This bastard..."

Bean-sized raindrops fell, at first there were only a few drops, and then they became more and more dense, falling on the bluestone slabs in the courtyard, splashing out the smell of dust.

The rain finally fell.

Gu Feiyan suddenly raised his head and looked at the roof.The raindrops fell on the eaves in a hurry, and soon gathered into a stream, crawling over the blue tiles and falling to the ground.I don't know when there were two people standing there, without umbrellas, but not even a piece of clothes was wet.

It was Shen Lingyuan and Ye Tan.

The two jumped off the roof and landed in front of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.Shen Lingyuan looked carefully at Gu Feiyan's face, and said, "It really is you."

Gu Feiyan subconsciously stroked the tear mole under her eyes.

The tear mole was born under the right eye.

Gu Changan and his wife also noticed the abnormality at this time, and said, "You...you are not Yan'er."

"Gu Feiyan" said in a slightly cold voice, "You guessed it was me a long time ago, and you pretended to leave just to lure me to show up."

Shen Lingyuan said: "Not bad."

It turned out that this "Gu Feiyan" was not Gu Feiyan, but the demon in the Linghua Mirror.Her breath was well hidden, and Shen Lingyuan didn't notice Linghua Jing.It wasn't until Liu Yunsheng's soul appeared that there were traces of evil spirits in the room.At first Shen Lingyuan thought it was Liu Yunsheng's spirit that was carrying the evil spirit, but later when the Linghua mirror fell to the ground, as soon as his hand touched the mirror body, he knew that the evil spirit was coming from the mirror.The figure he saw in the mirror was not the shadow of anyone in the boudoir at that time, but the figure of a woman.

It is said that Ms. Gu is the evil ghost, but the Gu couple have never seen their daughter's soul, so it is strange.If it was Miss Gu who was harmed by Gu Changan, why didn't the ghost seek revenge on Gu Changan and only killed three servants?If Miss Gu's death had other secrets behind it, then why did her soul stay in the world, why didn't she see her parents, but deliberately avoided them?

Ye Tan also noticed the strangeness of the Linghua mirror, and wanted to remind Shen Lingyuan after leaving Gu's mansion.Shen Lingyuan didn't let him speak, so he knew that his brother had already made up his mind.

Gu Changan asked: "You are the one who showed up these days? Where is Yan'er? Where is Yan'er?"

The Mirror Demon sighed and said, "Feiyan is dead, and his soul has been reincarnated."

The two elders were stunned in place, and in a blink of an eye they were crying, and were taken away by the heavy rain pouring on them.

Shen Lingyuan asked: "You killed the three servants of the Gu family?"

The mirror demon said: "It's me."

Shen Lingyuan sighed: "You are a spiritual creature, and since you have opened up your spiritual wisdom, you will not worry about not being able to achieve a positive result if you practice hard. Why do you do this?"

The mirror demon sneered, but did not answer.

"So... how did Miss Gu die?"

The mirror demon didn't speak, but just stared at the skull under his feet, with a stern and terrifying expression.The surrounding area was terribly quiet for a while, only the sound of heavy rain "swipe--swipe--" was heard.

With a flick of Shen Lingyuan's wrist, Liu Yunsheng's soul appeared in front of everyone.He looked at the Gu family standing in front of him, his eyes were full of resentment.

He glanced aside, but caught sight of the scorched bones on the ground that had been washed oily by the heavy rain, and suddenly remembered his revenge for being killed, shouted, and rushed towards Gu Changan.

Seeing Liu Yunsheng's soul, Gu Chang'an's eyes were already shattered, and at this moment he also rushed towards Liu Yunsheng.Helpless, Gu Changan is a living person, Liu Yunsheng is a phantom, neither of them can touch the other, they both pass through each other.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, the mirror demon rushed to the dry bones on the ground, and when his fingers were about to touch them, he was caught by something and couldn't move.

The two vines swam over at some point, and with aura, they wrapped the souls of the mirror demon and Liu Yunsheng silently.

The mirror demon glared at Ye Tan bitterly, and a flash of determination flashed across his face the next moment. With a sound of "clang", a ray of white light rolled over in an instant, and the light suddenly became stronger, covering several people present, while the figure of the mirror demon became more and more faint, and finally disappeared.
