27,27 Ghost Fire(1/3)
Although Shen Tianyu is the owner of Tianyuxuan and his family has been in the salt business for several generations, he knows nothing about the problems with his salt lake.
"I only know that something happened to my grandfather's generation, and the house was haunted. What does it have to do with Salt Lake?"
Shen Tianyu asked Chen Tong.
Chen Tong smiled and asked, "Do you have a recipe for Tianyuxuan drying salt?"
Shen Tianyu nodded, "Yes, there is indeed a strict method for drying Yuxuan salt."
"Then have you ever tried to directly scoop up the water from the salt lake and dry it instead of following the recipe?"
Shen Tianyu was stunned for a moment, confused, "What?"
"In your Yuxuan salt drying recipe, one of the most important things is that it needs to be soaked in water before drying, right?" Chen Tong asked.
Shen Tianyu looked at Chen Tong in surprise, "Senior...how do you know?"
"Why should it be dried in water?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Shen Tianyu thought for a while and told everyone, "That's it. The salt from our Tianyuxuan is different from the ordinary salt lake salt. It is not dried directly with the water of the salt lake. Instead, it is dug in the shallows next to the salt lake. Salt block. There is a white stone beach around the shoal of the salt lake. The salt dug out are large pieces of milky white crystal. These crystals are dissolved in water and then spread on the white stone beach to dry. What comes out is Yuxuan salt.”
"So? What's the point?" Zhao Pu didn't quite understand why he was talking about sun salt.
"I may know..." Shen Mao suddenly raised his hand.
Everyone looked at him, and Shen Tianyu looked at his son in confusion.
"I have tried putting the salt lake water directly on the windowsill to dry before..." Shen Mao scratched his head, "After the salt lake water dries, the salt will be transparent."
"Is salt transparent?" Xiao Sizi asked Xiao Liangzi, "Isn't it white?"
Xiao Liangzi scratched his head, "It's white..."
"But melt those transparent salts into water and then dry them in the sun..." Shen Mao clapped his hands, "It's white salt."
Shen Tianyu stared at his son for a while and asked, "How old were you when you studied these?"
Shen Mao pointed at Xiao Liangzi, meaning - when he was about the same age as him.
"No wonder the salt escape technique can only use Yuxuan salt..." Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang spoke at the same time.
Zhao Pu also nodded, "That makes sense."
Shen Tianyu still didn't understand, so he went to see his son again.
Shen Mao was even more puzzled, so he held the tea cup and felt that the tea in Kaifeng Mansion was quite delicious.
"Master Shen."
At this time, Lord Bao spoke and asked Shen Mao, "Does anyone else in your Shen family know about this?"
Shen Mao thought for a while, "Yes, the old housekeeper, and the mother-in-law who took care of me when I was a child...the maids and boys I played with."
Shen Tianyu helplessly held his forehead, it was not good for his son to be raised too cheerfully...
"So, does it make sense that Tianyuxuan is haunted?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Everyone else nodded.
Shen Tianyu frowned and asked, "Do you think it was someone from within Tianyuxuan who was behind this?"
The grand master held the cup and nodded, "Master Shen, there is indeed a ghost in your Tian Yuxuan, it's an internal ghost."
"Can you think of who it is?" Zhao Pu asked Shen Tianyu and Shen Mao.
The father and son looked at each other and started scratching their heads.
"The old butler passed away a few years ago."
"My mother-in-law has also gone home to collect her grandson."
"Tweety?"
"Already married."
"Where are the boys?"
"They all left too, haven't seen each other for a long time."
After some research by Shen and his son, everyone found that those who knew about this matter were extremely "ordinary" ordinary people. It seemed that no one knew or had the ability to do these things.
After some discussion, everyone decided that they could try Kong Yue.
Chen Tong first went to the house to see Mei Bu Sheng, and Shen and his son were also arranged to rest in the backyard.
Mr. Bao just wanted to discuss with Zhan Zhao whether to interrogate Kong Yue or let Zhan Zhao do the questioning privately.
Before he could speak, Mahan, the king from outside, ran in.
"Sir, a large number of Jianghu people have gathered outside Kaifeng Mansion."
Master Bao was puzzled, "Gathering?"
Zhan Zhao stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Bai Yutang also wanted to follow him out to take a look, but Zhan Zhao waved his hand, indicating that he could just go by himself and check the situation first.
Bai Yutang looked back at Tianzun, who nodded, and Fifth Master followed Zhan Zhao out.
When Zhan Zhao came out of the yard, he asked him, "Is it okay for you to follow me out? After a while, those Jianghu people started to make trouble again, saying that your Tianshan faction is helping the government."
Bai Yutang shook his head, "No, my Tianshan faction helps the Demon Palace."
Zhan Zhao amused him, and while they were chatting, Lin Yehuo ran up behind him.
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao are both looking at him. Does that mean you want to get involved too?
Lin Yehuo patted his chest, "I bought a house in Kaifeng! From now on, I, Huofengtang, will also have a name in the Central Plains Wulin!"
The three of them walked to the door, and Zhao Pu came running behind them.
The three of them looked at him speechlessly - Are you coming too?
Zhao Pu spread his hands - no one was stopping him!
Behind Zhao Pu, curious Gongsun also ran over, holding the hands of Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi... To be precise, Mr. Gongsun was pulled out by the two children.
Zi Ying and Zhe Ying had already gone to the door to see the situation, and came back to tell everyone, "It's mainly people who are fasting in March and the Moon Picking Ancestor brought it."
"Picking the moon?" Lin Yehuo was surprised, "The old man came to the Central Plains? Is he here to beg Kong Yue?"
Zhan Zhao was not very familiar with Zhai Yue, but when he saw Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu frowning at the same time, plus Zhai Yue's reputation, regardless of Kong Yue's situation, this old man was definitely not easy to deal with.
"Ancestor Zhaiyue has such a great reputation, how can he be so loyal and treacherous?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"The key is not that he is loyal and treacherous." Zhao Pu said in a low voice, "Ancestor Zhai Yue is good at illusions and has deep inner strength. Kaifeng Mansion is located in the busy city of the Imperial City. They come to the door in groups to cause trouble, and there will definitely be many people watching.
"
"Can he still hurt innocent people?" Zhan Zhao was dissatisfied, "Don't want to live anymore?"
"Zhaiyue martial arts is not easy to control. If you are not careful, you may hurt innocent people." Bai Yutang also felt that something was wrong, "Do you know why he is called Zhaiyue?"
Zhan Zhao shook his head.
"Plucking the Moon can affect a person through illusion and internal power. The person will not feel it even if he is affected, but when he falls asleep at night, he will get confused and climb to a high place, thinking that he can pluck the moon. The result is usually
He died after falling from a height."
Zhan Zhao wondered if it was really too long since he had been around the world, "I haven't heard of it at all..."
"Not surprising, Zhai Yue is very low-key and rarely appears in the Central Plains martial arts world." Huo Feng added, "The monk told me that there is a reason why he does not dare to come to the Central Plains."
"What's the reason?" Bai Yutang also asked, "My master never told me the details."
Lin Yehuo opened his mouth and sighed, "The monk didn't explain the details either."
When Gongsun saw the discussion among several people, he asked, "Aren't half of the Jianghu people making a fuss around the Yamen? Why is there no sound?"
Zhan Zhao also felt that it seemed very quiet.
"Never mind this, let's go out and take a look first." After saying that, Zhan Zhao went out.
Bai Yutang, Lin Yehuo and Zhao Pu all followed him out.
Gongsun was hesitating whether to take the fourth son out to see him. The fourth son suddenly raised his face and called him, "Daddy."
"Huh?" Gongsun knelt down and looked at him.
Xiao Liangzi had already run to the door, but when he heard Xiao Sizi speaking, he stopped and looked back.
The fourth son took Gongsun's hand and said, "Dad, I just saw a picture."
Gongsun held his son's face and asked, "Is it scary?"
The fourth boy nodded.
"Tell daddy? Or go in and ask the Demon King?"
The fourth son thought for a while, "Dad, what I just said about picking the moon and falling off it was in vain..."
Gongsun nodded.
Xiao Liangzi also ran back.
