Huangliang Inn

Chapter 21 The Water Ghost

The Fu house burned for a whole day and night.

The strange thing is that the whole house was reduced to ashes, and the neighboring houses were never affected.It seems that there is a transparent barrier, forming a natural isolation zone, separating the place where the fire started from other houses.

The bodyguards, nurses and others who escaped from the fire were taken into an ambulance, and the wounds were treated quickly. After confirming that there was no serious problem, they were asked separately about the situation in the house, mainly about the fire.

Faced with the questioning, several people were either silent, only shivering; or curled up in a ball wrapped in blankets, uttering vague words, vaguely able to hear "ghosts, there are ghosts" and the like.

The inquiring police officers held pens and paper and looked at each other, and they could see the helplessness and frustration in each other's eyes.

Fu Mingzheng had a special status, he had meritorious deeds during his lifetime, and he was buried in the sea of ​​fire with his only grandson.

Media reports came out quickly, focusing on the cause of the fire.In connection with the actions of Fu Mingzheng's two sons and grandson, as well as the previous case that happened to his second son, the theory of revenge from the bitter master spread and was accepted by more people.

The strangeness of the fire in Fu's house was covered up.

The people who live here have many unusual identities. If such a rare event is reported, it will definitely attract all kinds of attention.In order to avoid trouble, it will naturally be done in advance, and pressure can be suppressed.

For newspapers and journals, curious news is eye-catching, but after all, it is not as good as exploring the cause of the fire in the Fu residence.

What's more, with Fu Mingzheng's death, people who were suppressed by his son and grandson came forward one after another. The stories of the early years were revealed one after another, and related news firmly dominated the front pages of local newspapers for several days.

To make matters worse, after the fire was extinguished, firefighters entered the Fu's house and found a secret basement containing a large number of antique jade articles.Several of them were lost during the war, and some were simply lost from museums.There have always been rumors among the people that it was snatched away by the invaders, but it never occurred to them that it was hidden in Fu Mingzheng's home.

In addition, someone found three diaries in the basement. The pages were yellowed and they were obviously old.

It records in detail that Fu Mingzheng took refuge in Japan during his overseas studies, hid in the army after returning to China, betrayed the country and sold information, intensified the killing of civilians and guerrillas, killed those who knew the news after the victory of the war, and falsely claimed meritorious deeds.

The appearance of this diary caused an uproar in the society.The relatives of the victims are all heartbroken. Please jointly investigate this matter thoroughly. We must find out the truth and not let the evil deeds be covered up.

Fu Mingzheng is dead?

Check even if you die!

How can a traitor be buried with honor!

Witnesses are hard to find because of the age.In addition, Fu Mingzheng died, leaving no descendants behind him, and all his relatives died in the flames of war, which made the investigation even more difficult.

But there is an old saying: justice is in the heart.

With the efforts of relevant personnel, Fu Mingzheng's crime of defecting to the enemy and traitorous country was finally revealed to the world. He was soon deprived of meritorious service, counted crimes, labeled as a traitor, and had to be cast aside on his tombstone.

Relevant news reports soon appeared in Anshi's newspapers.

When Yan Jue is free, he will collect relevant reports and hand them over to the Yin soldiers who temporarily live in the inn.After reading the content of the report, all the Yin soldiers shouted happily.

"retribution!"

However, every time I read news about Fu Mingzheng, I would think of Fu Mingsheng, who was out of his wits.Even if it was the Yin soldiers who rushed over from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and sent away countless comrades in arms before and after death, their hearts were sad and their eyes were bleeding.

"My brothers can't repay the kindness of the store. It's a trivial matter to sacrifice the ghost fire, just keep ten brothers. I will take the rest of the brothers to catch the monsters and get the demon pills to make spices for the store."

The company commander put down the box gun and condensed his evil spirit into a sharp blade.The edge of the blade flickered with a cold light, and it became more and more hideous and ghostly.Ugly Liu was about to enter the door, when he saw it accidentally, he shuddered, retracted his foot with a swish, turned around and was about to run away.

"Ugly Six, where are you going?" Yan Jue stood behind the counter, propping up his chin with one arm, with a smile on his face, and said in a good mood, "Why don't you come in when you're here?"

Ugly Six had to stop and turn around carefully.Because the movements were too stiff, there was a creaking sound from the neck. It was a bit funny for a bright beauty to lose any beauty at the moment.

"Yan Jue, what's going on? How come there are so many in your store..." Chou Liu swallowed when the company commander glanced at him, and swallowed the last part of his words.

A snow-white fox with a tuft of red hair jumped out from behind the counter, sitting obediently by Yan Piao's hand.Hearing Chou Liu's words, he immediately raised his tail and said loudly: "Bold fish monster, how dare you call your lord by his name!"

Chou Liu is afraid of Yin soldiers, but he is not afraid of a two-tailed fox that has practiced for hundreds of years.Baiwei didn't pay attention, and was grabbed by the back of the neck by Ugly Liu and held up in the air. He immediately flapped his four claws, curled his tail and asked Yan Piao for help.

Interrupted by the little fox, Ugly Six was no longer as fearful as before. He stood by the counter and asked what was going on with Yan Jue.

"It's a long story." Yan Jue took two wine jars, pushed them to Chou Liu, and said, "They will stay in the inn temporarily. If you don't take the initiative to provoke them, basically nothing will happen."

"Am I that kind of person?" Ugly Six muttered, holding up the wine jar, approaching the mouth of the jar, smelling a faint scent of wine, and immediately smiled.

Yan Jue propped his chin, tilted his head, and joked, "Aren't you?"

Ugly Six didn't argue, carefully put away the wine jar, and found two palm-sized scallops on his body.One of them contains six pearls born from a century-old shellfish, which is very precious.The other one was entwined with spiritual power, and was wrapped in a layer of alligator skin to prevent the things inside from breaking free.

"What is this?" Yan Jue put away the pearls, poked the shell, felt a ghostly aura, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "When did you learn to catch ghosts?"

"No." Ugly Six quickly shook his head.

With so many Yin soldiers in the store, she had lived enough to admit that she had this "hobby".

"It should be a water ghost here." The company commander came over, covered in black energy, scared Ugly Liu quickly shrank to the side, where was the invincibility and domineering that he had beaten all over the clan back then.

"Water ghost." Yan Jue poked the shell twice more, discerning the hostility and resentment in the ghost's aura, and couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Chou Liu carefully avoids the Yin soldiers and tells the truth about the discovery of the shell.

"You mean this thing was buried in the sea and was dug out by a few small fish?" The company commander was very surprised.

"What's wrong?" Ugly Liu asked.

"That's weird." The company commander grabbed his military cap, revealing a bullet hole on his forehead, "I've been a ghost all these years, and I've seen quite a few water ghosts, and this is the first time this has happened."

"Any drowned person who is not arrested by ghosts will lose his sanity and turn from a wandering soul into a grieving ghost, and then into a fierce ghost." Yan Piao tapped the shells on the counter, pushed aside the little fox's curious paws, and said , "Such ghosts are more or less bloody. This one is not there, it is indeed a bit weird."

"No blood?" As a monster in the sea, Ugly Six is ​​extremely sensitive to hostile and evil spirits, but his blood is not so good.

"No." Yan Yan covered the shell with his palm, and said after a while, "At least one shell of this shell has not been opened."

Perhaps, this is the reason why the ghosts inside are not blood-stained?

Feeling the external spiritual power, black ghost energy suddenly gushed out from the edge of the shell, and the crocodile skin wrapped around the shell cracked inch by inch, making the chains of spiritual power wrapped around Ugly Six seem vulnerable.

The Yin soldiers in the store responded quickly, except for a few people guarding the stove, the rest condensed their evil spirits into daggers and long knives, and only waited for the water ghost inside to come out, and gave it a fatal blow.

The water ghost could feel the threat, but he didn't stop releasing ghost energy.

The shell slowly opened, and a cloud of black ghost fog gushed out from it, and a woman's figure gradually appeared in the fog.A coat with a round collar and double breasted, a water red phoenix-tailed skirt, and a pair of embroidered shoes with blooming peach blossoms embroidered on the upper.

Unlike ordinary water ghosts, the woman's face, neck and hands were blue and white, without black lines interlacing.Her long hair was neatly tied behind her head, and three silver hairpins were inserted obliquely into her bun.There is no broken hair on the forehead and temples, and there are plum blossoms and silver pendants hanging on her ears, with pearls the size of rice grains in the center of the flowers, which sway gently with her movements.

"I've seen the store." The woman stepped out of the black mist, suppressing her fear of the Yin soldiers, and saluted Yan Xing.Every move is smooth and smooth, just like a lady of everyone.

Yan Jue walked out from behind the counter, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

It seemed that the water ghost in front of him came prepared.That's true, she was definitely not dug out by accident, but she took the initiative to find those two little fish demons.
