Chapter 7 [Haunted House]

The reason why several people stopped under the gate of the town was not because they wanted to chase, but because they were difficult to track.

Tracking rats are tracked by smell. If the people you are chasing run to a sparsely populated area, even if they fall for a few hours, they can still track them through the faint smell in the air.

The reason why it is difficult to track is that the people you are chasing enter a large town. The smell is mixed, and it is difficult to track it simply by scent alone.

In addition, the disciple's tracking rat was just an ordinary beast with no cultivation, and he could not find the smell of the tracking person among the many mixed smells.

Unless they are within close distances of less than three meters apart, the chances of finding are slim.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a needle in a haystack.

Wang Yaohai was similar in the situation. Although his consciousness remained on the small snake that killed his grandson Wang Dalong, it could only be felt at close range.

But they just made a vow in front of them that if they just let the murderer who killed his precious grandson go, they would be a little unlucky to overcome their own level.

After thinking about it, there is only a stupid method of waiting for the rabbit.

"Junior Brother Feng, you will take your disciples to guard the city gate first. I will go back to the sect and find some disciples who are similar to tracing rats. At that time, I will guard at various exits of Shihe Town. I will not believe that the murderer who will not be able to catch the sect disciples." Wang Yaohai said righteously to Feng Qiming.

Feng Qiming secretly cursed the other party's old fox, clearly trying to avenge his precious grandson, but at this time he said that he was the murderer who killed his disciples of the sect.

However, he was unwilling to offend Wang Yaohai for this little thing, so he nodded and agreed.

"I was just watching the fun, but I didn't expect it to be a problem. I don't know if I can catch the murderer in a short time..."

Seeing Wang Yaohai flew back to the sect in a hurry, Feng Qiming said softly.

After saying that, he still glared at the disciple who carried the rat tracing.

It seems to be saying again: "You are the ones who have a lot to do."

The disciple did not expect that he would make a mistake by kind helping. Due to his identity as Elder Feng Qiming, he could only bow his head and admit his mistake.

......

Since Gu Changsheng fled into the city, he felt much safer.

However, as he was used to living alone in the wilderness, he suddenly entered this bustling small town and was a little uncomfortable for a while.

Fortunately, Gu Changsheng had strong adaptability and was then distracted by his "gurgling" stomach.

When I woke up early this morning, I encountered two Taoist priests killing groups of snakes in the Snake Valley. In addition, he later did a stick of incense sticks of scales. He ran for three or four miles because he felt dangerous and was now hungry and put on his back.

After entering the city, I was also lost after twisting and turning. I saw an inconspicuous hotel on a small street and walked in.

However, the moment he entered the hotel, Gu Changsheng paused for a moment.

It turned out that he remembered his previous experience just now.

Because he touched the bodies of a person in mass graves all year round, no matter how much he took a bath, he always had a scent of rotten smell on his body, which made ordinary people avoid him when they smelled it.

Even... Gu Changsheng was far away when he bought steamed buns.

But when they came, Gu Changsheng had to bite the bullet and enter the hotel.

When a young waiter came over to ask him what to eat, he didn't seem to smell the rotten smell of the past, which made Gu Changsheng a little confused.

Then I remembered that I had not been to the mass grave for three months since I obtained the "Secret Technique of Corpse Control".

In addition, I just swam in the river and changed into new clothes, so the waiter at close range did not smell the almost weak and inauspicious smell of rotten smell on his body.

After ordering a few hard dishes with meat, Gu Changsheng started to eat.

In less than a cup of tea, the wind blew away the clouds and ate them clean.

even so.

Gu Changsheng, who was burping, was still feeling a little unsatisfied. He hadn't had such a sumptuous meal in five years. Thinking that he could have such a meal in the future and no longer hungry, he laughed alone.

The young waiter's eyes kept observing the situation here. Although he was a little puzzled by Gu Changsheng's eating appearance and silly smile, he was the master as long as he didn't have enough money to make a living.

Seeing Gu Changsheng having enough food and drink, he came over to take the opportunity of cleaning up the dishes and reminded Gu Changsheng: It’s time to check out.

I ate more than one or two silver dollars in a meal, which Gu Changsheng dared not think about before.

Now, with more than 3,000 taels of silver in the storage bag on your waist, I paid the meal with a good meal and gave me hundreds of gifts.

"Woman, do you know where there is a more secluded yard for rent?"

Gu Changsheng knew that people like the waiter in the hotel were very well-informed, so he asked him out.

"You are asking the right person. Although Shihe Town is not big, it is not easy to rent a yard you like. Among the people I know, there is a very secluded yard for rent, but..."

When the young waiter gets the benefits, he naturally knows everything.

"Just what? You guy, it's okay."

"It's just that people died in this yard before and there were rumors of hauntedness, so no one has lived there."

“…”

"If you are objectively taboo about this, I can find you another yard, but there is no place to be secluded."

"When do you have time, take me to see it."

"I have time now, not far from the hotel. I will finish my work later and ask the boss for a leave of absence and take you there."

Gu Changsheng and Xiaoqing were carrying Xiaoqing, and there were a lot of things and finances he had just touched from the two Taoist priests. He didn't want to be discovered, so he could only live in a secluded place.

In addition, he needs to study and practice the exercises carefully, which must be in a quiet environment.

As for rumors of death and haunted death in the yard, this was not afraid of Gu Changsheng, who went to the mass grave in the middle of the night to touch the corpse.

Besides.

He also doesn't believe that there are really ghosts in this world.

Afterwards, Gu Changsheng followed the waiter through the streets of the small town, turning several turns, with fewer and fewer pedestrians, and the surroundings became more and more desolate.

It is probably because it is close to the surroundings of the small town and there are fewer and fewer houses living in.

When Gu Changsheng felt that he was about to leave the city, the waiter who was leading the way stopped.

Looking at the small courtyard built there alone in front of me, there was no house within a radius of ten feet... it was really secluded.

After a closer look, I found that there were obvious signs of house covering both sides of the courtyard, but for some reason it was demolished.

"Is there really a ghost?" Gu Changsheng said in his heart.

The desolate scene here is really different from the previous bustling and bustling, which makes Gu Changsheng, who is used to mass graves and corpses in the middle of the night, feels a little suspicious.

The young waiter was also a person who observed his words and expressions. When he saw Gu Changsheng silent when he saw the yard, he spoke:

"It's okay if you don't like it. I can take you to see other yards."

"No, let's go in and have a look!"

Gu Changsheng, who went to the mass grave in the middle of the night, had long been beyond ordinary people's courage.

Even if there are really ghosts, Gu Changsheng is not very afraid. Xiaoqing, who has greatly increased his strength, is his confidence.

The courtyard in the small courtyard is not small, about three meters long and wide. There are rows of three connected brick and tile houses inside, and the courtyard walls are also made of blue bricks. If it weren't as desolate as outside, it would be a really good courtyard.

The only drawback is that it may be because no one has cleaned up for a long time, and the weeds in the yard have lost their knees.

"Customer, if you like this courtyard, I will let someone clear the weeds in this courtyard later."

"No, it looks okay."

Five years of life in the wilderness and slept in the open, making Gu Changsheng closer to nature, and looking at the weedy courtyard made him feel more comfortable.

On the other hand, Xiao Qing can also be hiding in it so that people will not discover Xiao Qing's existence as soon as they come in.

Then the waiter took him to the room and took a look. He had everything in furniture, but he had no one living for a long time, and a thick layer of dust fell on everything.

There is also a lack of daily necessities such as bedding, pots and pans, which is nothing for Gu Changsheng, who has more than 3,000 taels of taels of money.

A typical heart that gets rich.

Through the waiter's introduction, I learned that there was a small yard at the back of the room, which was only half the size of the front yard, and an ancient well made of an old willow tree that had grown for countless years and a stone.

The old willow tree cannot be held by an adult, but it is not tall and has sparse branches and leaves, so that Gu Changsheng did not pay attention when he was outside under the obstruction of the house.

Judging from the smooth stones at the ancient wellhead, it must have been a while.

But a huge stone was pressed on it and sealed the wellhead.

"Customer, I told you that someone had died in this small courtyard, and that he died in this ancient well. As for how he died, he said everything. Some said he died of being unable to open the well and threw it into the well, some said he died of falling into the well while digging the water, and some said he was killed by someone and threw it into the well."

"At the end of the process, I didn't know that version was true... But no matter how it was passed, it was unrelated to this ancient well, so it was sealed."

"Can you move it away?"

Gu Changsheng was not interested in dead people at all. With the idea of ​​convenient water withdrawal, he wanted to move the huge rock away.

"If you can move, you can move, but I advise the guest officials not to move. No matter whether this ancient well has anything to do with the dead, it is still a bit unlucky."

"It's okay, I don't care about that."

Seeing Gu Changsheng so persistently, the waiter stopped persuading him and promised to move the huge rocks off the ancient wellhead when he cleaned up the yard later.

I asked about the rumors of haunted, but I learned that all the people living in this courtyard would meet ghosts at night. After a long time, no one dared to live in.

"It seems you have to pay attention to it at night." Gu Changsheng thought so in his mind.

After that, he paid the rent for a month with great pleasure, asked the waiter to find someone to come and clean the room, and then moved the huge rock from the ancient well sealed in the backyard.

Seeing that the yard was still going to be cleaned up for a while, I asked the waiter to take him to the nearest bookstore, bought a lot of books related to cultivation, and then returned to the yard.

At this time, the courtyard had been cleaned up, and the huge rocks at the ancient wellhead were moved away, and the weeds in the front yard were preserved at Gu Changsheng's request.

Finally, he ordered the waiter to help him stock up on some food, and after changing the same method every day, he lived there after he changed his style and sent some hard dishes with meat.
