Zhan Zhao listened to Shen Tianyu and his son talking about the haunted house, and touched his ears while listening.

Gongsun sat next to him and was distracted by Zhan Zhao unconsciously. He glanced at him several times. Finally, as a doctor, Gongsun couldn't help it anymore and leaned over to look at Zhan Zhao's ear, "What's wrong with you?" Are your ears itchy? Can I show it to you?"

Zhan Zhao pointed to his ear, "I don't know, it's a bit hot!"

Gongsun looked at it and said, "You haven't been bitten by an insect, but your left ear is burned? Where's your right ear?"

Zhan Zhao touched it and found that his right ear was not hot.

Zhao Pu and Gongsun looked at each other and fell silent.

"How?" Zhan Zhao looked at the two of them.

The two of them curled up their lips - what else could they do? The man is left and the woman is right, your big rat misses you.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then turned around and continued to ask Shen Tianyu, "Is it because it is haunted that you asked Maoshan Taoist priests to come to your home to do the ritual?"

Shen Tianyu smiled bitterly, "Sir Zhan, although I am not a master like you, I am still a member of the world. If this spreads out, will Tian Yuxuan still be around?"

Gongsun was curious, "Then who hired the Maoshan Taoist priest for you?"

Shen Tianyu helplessly pointed at Shen Mao, "Fuck."

Everyone looked at him - isn't that your wife?

"Ahem." Shen Tianyu coughed.

Shen Mao muttered, "How dare you talk about me."

Shen Tianyu rolled his eyes at him, and Shen Mao told Zhan Zhao and the others, "My mother's friend introduced me to Dongfang Xiao."

Zhan Zhao blinked, Dongfang Xiao is his mother's god-sister...what a coincidence?

"Aunt Xiao, her mother, and Su Jiugu seem to be distant relatives. My mother mentioned this matter to them when they were having dinner, and the little aunt asked Su Jiugu for help." Shen Mao whispered, "This still opens the back door, usually. Even if you ask for help from the Maoshan sect, you won’t be able to meet anyone from the Xiandong Mansion. It’s even more rare for Sangong to personally take action, and it’s usually just a small Taoist priest.”

"What's the result?" Zhan Zhao was curious, "Is there really a ghost?"

Shen Tianyu sighed, "Well, I don't know if it's Tai Sui this year. This thing is getting more and more evil."

…

"Didn't catch the ghost?" Bai Yutang was not surprised after hearing what Su Jiugu said, "So it's not really haunted, but someone is pretending to be a ghost?"

Su Jiugu sighed, "No, it's because we are too shallow."

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Something happened that we have never encountered before and cannot solve." Su Jiugu hesitated and lowered her voice and said, "We are in the back mountain of Tianyuxuan..."

As soon as Su Jiugu started talking, she heard someone shouting from next door, "Louder..."

Bai Yutang looked at the sky, "Why don't you come over and listen?"

After a while, I heard a knock on the door.

After a while, the door opened, and Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi poked their heads in first.

Then Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang came in with a big dog, and finally Tianzun and Yin Hou. They looked over and waved to Su Jiugu, "Haha, we haven't seen you for a long time."

Su Jiugu quickly stood up and saluted the two seniors. Tianzun and Yin Hou waved their hands - they were embarrassed.

Bai Yutang looked at them - you two know how embarrassed you are.

Tian Zunrao saw his disciple's disgusted face, so he walked around to sit next to Bai Yutang and pulled his disciple's hair.

Fifth Master stretched out his hand to rub his head and poured tea for Tianzun and Yin Hou.

Su Jiugu peeled oranges for Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi, and continued, "Because it's Xiaoxiao's friend who wants to help, so I asked my senior brother to do it myself."

Tianzun and Yin Hou asked with some gossip, "Isn't the plum blossom overwhelming?"

Su Jiugu shook her head, "My senior brother."

Everyone understood, "Oh... Heavenly Master Liang Jing."

"Apart from your master, is Liang Jing considered the most powerful one in the Maoshan sect?" Tianzun was curious, "Then did he catch a ghost?"

After Tianzun asked, he didn't hear Su Jiugu's answer. He saw her staring blankly at the table in silence for a while, then raised her head and said with a complicated expression, "My senior brother is gone!"

Everyone was stunned.

Yin Hou frowned, "No? Liang Jing is dead?"

Su Jiugu sighed, "When my senior brother was performing rituals, he turned into salt in full view of everyone... To this day, he still can't see anyone alive or dead."

As soon as Su Jiugu said this, even Tianzun and Yin Hou were stunned.

…

"The Heavenly Master turned into salt in front of you?"

In Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao couldn't accept it after hearing Shen Tianyu's description.

"Celestial Master Liang Jing is the master of the Maoshan Sect. His martial arts must be very high, right?" Zhao Pu asked Shen Tianyu, "How could..."

Shen Tianyu spread his hands, "I was present at that time, and several disciples of Tian Yuxuan and several disciples of Maoshan Sect Liang Jing were also there... But Liang Jing just disappeared, leaving only a pile of salt."

Gongsun looked at Shen Tianyu with some admiration. He looked at the two father and son, one was watching the Tianshan sect's elder brother turn into salt, and the other was watching the Tianshan sect's disciple turn into salt. They both collided.

"After Liang Jing disappeared, his disciples went back to call for help. As a result, Mei Bu Sheng and Su Jiu Gu went to our Tian Yu Xuan to look for the person but could not find them. Mei Bu Sheng said that the salt that Liang Jing turned into was the Yu Xuan salt which is a specialty of our Tian Yu Xuan. , you have to say that what I did caused his senior brother to die." Shen Tianyu scratched his head, "I have no enmity with the Maoshan sect, and this is the first time I met Liang Jing, what am I trying to do!"

Zhan Zhao lifted his chin and looked at the dejected Shen family and his son. This was such a coincidence. No wonder Mei Busheng suspected that it was the Shen family. It was such a coincidence that these two father and son saw it. It was such a coincidence. What it turned into was Yuxuan Salt.

"Then what happened next?" Gongsun asked, "After Liang Jing turned into salt, was there any ghosts in Tianyuxuan?"

Shen Tianyu shook his head, "No more. Everything in Tianyuxuan has returned to its original state. It just so happens that the martial arts test is coming soon. I want to send Mao'er to take the test. I want to wait until the test is over... Who knows that there will be more people in Kaifeng?" Same thing."

Zhan Zhao looked at Gongsun, what does it mean - you are knowledgeable and talented, do you have any insights?

Gongsun and Zhao Pu also found it incredible, and finally everyone went to see Gongsun.

The old man had been sitting silently at the table with his teacup in hand, listening, with his head slightly lowered, as if he was thinking.

"Alas..." Shen Tianyu was helpless, "At first, I suspected that the Maoshan sect was pretending to be a ghost, but now it seems that there are some ghosts who are still following us..."

Zhan Zhao asked, "Do you suspect that the sarcophagus was dug out of the salt lake?"

Shen Tianyu nodded, "Could it be that there was something locked in the sarcophagus? I opened the iron rope at will and released something extraordinary?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, picked up the teapot and poured tea for Gongsun, and asked, "Old man, what do you think?"

Gongsun was silent for a while and nodded, "That sarcophagus cannot be opened indeed."

Gongsun asked, "Master, what kind of coffin is that?"

"To be precise, that is not a coffin." Gongsun said lightly, "but a torture instrument."

Everyone was stunned.

"Tools?" Zhao Pu was puzzled, "The kind used to torture people?"

Gongsun put down his cup, "Have you ever heard of the legend of Princess Salt Coffin?"

Everyone nodded and nodded, I heard it! I have been listening to this for the past two days!

"Those Maoshan Taoist priests...are they not good at their studies, or have their secret techniques been lost?" Gongsun was a little helpless, "The salt coffin is one of the secret techniques of Maoshan, and it is used to lock away evil spirits.

It is said that evil spirits with too much resentment cannot be eliminated or reincarnated. They can only be locked in a salt coffin and buried deep underground. It can take anywhere from a few years to hundreds of years. The evil spirit will turn into salt in the stone coffin and eventually die.

.But if the coffin is opened before the evil spirit dies, the evil spirit will escape and continue to cause harm to the world."

Everyone stared at Gongsun.

After a long time, Zhao Pu asked, "Really?"

Gongsun spread his hands and said, "I am just a bookworm. As for whether what I read in the book is accurate... you might as well ask the Demon King."

"But even if it's accurate, if you want to change into salt, the evil spirit will change into salt. Why is it a living person instead?" Zhan Zhao asked, "And it's also from the Maoshan sect?"

"It's just because it's the Maoshan sect's change that it's normal." Gongsun said, "The evil spirit that was released was locked up in a salt coffin by the Maoshan sect. Of course it will be released to seek revenge on the disciples and grandsons of the Maoshan sect."

Shen Tianyu and Shen Mao looked at Gongsun with wide eyes, their expressions were exactly the same.

"In addition to seeking revenge from the Maoshan sect, there are also those enemies of the evil spirits back then." Gongsun glanced at the Shen family father and son who were staring blankly at him, "If I remember correctly, Shen S told me back then,

Your ancestor of the Shen family once had a heinous maniac who killed many people and did not spare the Shen family until he died. Later, he met a very powerful Taoist priest and saved the family from being wiped out..."

The Shen family father and son gasped.

Zhan Zhao also had a bitter look on his face - don't do it! It was so exciting when you just came back, why don't you let people celebrate the New Year?

"Similarly, the one who locked Princess Salt Coffin back then was also a Maoshan Taoist priest." Gongsun said, smiling slightly, "But Princess Salt Coffin can't be considered a resentful spirit, right?"

"She is a living person, although she is relatively evil." Zhan Zhao also nodded.

"And as far as I know." Gongsun paused briefly, "This kind of thing has happened before."

"What kind of thing?" Zhao Pu wondered.

"People become salt... they are also candidates, and they are also exams." Gongsun held his chin, "It is precisely because it involves exams that it has not been publicized."

Zhao Pu also nodded, "When I was in the examination room before, I heard some people talking about it, saying that similar things had happened before. But I don't know exactly which year it was, it's just some rumors."

"Anything related to examinations has only one ultimate goal, and that is results." Gongsun reminded Zhan Zhao, "I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen a dead person turn into a ghost, but I have seen people worse than ghosts.
