Chapter 4 The Charlatan

I quickly stepped forward and took a closer look at Master Li's body. His facial features were distorted and bleeding, the skin all over his body was black, and his whole body had become a skinny mummy.

This suddenly shocked me. Isn’t this the way the skeleton female ghost appears after she kills someone?

While I was horrified, I was also a little excited. Finally there was news about the skeleton female ghost.

But then, my brows furrowed.

From the time I heard Master Li's scream to the time I went upstairs, it only took half a minute.

Although I don't know what Master Li's ability is, maybe in such a short period of time, he could suck a master from the Yin Yang Feng Shui circle into a human being. That skeleton female ghost must be too powerful.

I suddenly realized that I had always underestimated the skeleton female ghost.

Even Taoist Zhang couldn't get rid of her completely at first. Thinking about it, you should know that she is not an ordinary evil spirit.

The most troublesome thing about dealing with evil spirits is that almost all ghosts have this magical ability to come and go without a trace.

Unless they show their true colors or subdue them on the spot while they are causing trouble, there is no way to find them once they escape.

As for the yin and yang eyes that people often say can see ghosts, it is completely nonsense.

Because there is no Yin and Yang eyes at all, when a ghost turns into a human being, even gods cannot tell whether it is a human or a ghost.

Ghosts can only be seen under certain specific conditions.

After all, someone's death was a big deal. I didn't dare to stay in the room alone, so I immediately called Sister Su over.

When Sister Su learned that Master Li was dead, her expression suddenly changed. She was frightened and even more disbelieving. Until she saw Master Li's body with her own eyes, she murmured: "This, how is this possible!

"

"Sister Su, please report to the official immediately."

I also pretended to be scared and said to Sister Su.

However, as soon as Sister Su heard what I said, she recovered from her panic and said solemnly: "No! This matter must not be made public!" At the same time, she comforted me: "Brother Ziwei, don't be afraid,

Master Li's death is beyond the official family's ability to handle."

I was a little puzzled. After all, someone died. Normal people would have scared the police when encountering such a big event. Why did Sister Su hide the matter?

But this is exactly what I want, as I also want to find out what is going on in the inn that I don't know about.

So, I asked, "Sister Su, it's okay not to report it to the official. You have to tell the whole story."

As a result, Sister Su waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about this matter, otherwise you will be involved. I will invite another master right away."

I can see that if I continue to pretend to be an ordinary person, Sister Su will definitely not tell me the reason.

After hesitating for a moment, I said directly: "Sister Su, actually I also understand yin and yang. The evil spirits that harm people are very powerful. If you invite another master, you will probably end up with the same fate."

Sister Su was suddenly startled and looked at me, "Do you really understand Yin and Yang?"

I nodded affirmatively, but I did not tell her my life experience. I just said that I had studied with an old Taoist priest in the mountains for several years.

Sister Su looked very surprised when she heard what I said. After hesitating for a moment, she finally told what happened in the inn.

It turns out that something happened at the inn before I came here.

On the opening day, a male customer died in the room.

The appearance of his death was the same as that of Master Li. He suddenly turned into a terrifying mummy in one night.

Many people nearby knew about this, and everyone was talking that the Bai Yujing Inn was so haunted that no one dared to stay there.

This is also the real reason why the inn has no business.

Sister Su said that most of her wealth was spent on the inn, and she was not willing to let the inn go bankrupt, so she invited Master Li.

When Master Li came, he looked around and said that there was a female ghost in the inn who specialized in sucking men's yang energy.

As long as the female ghost is eliminated, the inn will be fine.

Unexpectedly, the female ghost has not been eliminated, but Master Li himself has been killed.

"After the accident at the inn, we couldn't recruit waiters. I really have limited energy on my own. I was afraid that you would be scared, so I kept hiding this from you."

After finishing speaking, Sister Su said to me apologetically.

I waved my hand and said it didn't matter, looked at Master Li's body and said, "This guy is probably just a charlatan and has no real ability."

It’s not that I maliciously slandered him. Taomu swords, glutinous rice, and things like roosters, black dogs, and blood have almost become the standard equipment of charlatans. As everyone knows, those things can only deal with ordinary brats.

If you encounter a bad ghost, it will be of no use at all.

To deal with fierce ghosts, you still need Taoism.

However, when Sister Su heard what I said, she suddenly said with embarrassment, "Master Li is the direct disciple of the County Mayor Li Shensuan, so he should not be a charlatan."

Mayi’s divine appearance? Li’s divine fortune-telling?

I heard Taoist Zhang say that among the Taoist sects nowadays, the Mayi sect and the Maoshan sect are the most famous.

The Mayi sect is good at fortune telling and fortune telling, while the Maoshan sect is good at exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts.

Sister Su should find someone from the Maoshan sect. If she goes to the Mayi sect, wouldn't it mean that people don't see a doctor or a veterinarian when they're sick?

But it's no wonder that Sister Su, Master Li didn't know what he was doing, and dared to take on the job of exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts. Now it's good, and his own life is in danger.

"Let's do this, Sister Su. You go find someone to collect the body. As for the evil spirits, leave it to me. But until the matter is resolved, we won't accept guests for the time being."

After thinking for a moment, I said to Sister Su.

Sister Su probably saw that what I said was clear and logical, so she nodded and said yes, indicating that she would listen to me in everything, and she would go to Li Shensuan to collect the body now.

I had no objection to collecting the bodies. After saying that, Sister Su left the inn in a hurry.

After Sister Su left, I carefully inspected Master Li's body and the entire room.

To be honest, this was the first time I saw with my own eyes the corpse of someone who had been killed by an evil spirit. I was very curious as to how the female ghost managed to suck people to death in less than a minute.

However, upon closer inspection, I immediately discovered something was wrong.

Master Li was still wearing clothes, he didn't even take off his pants.

But on his face and forehead, there were several thick finger prints.

This discovery made me frown.

Because such finger prints cannot possibly belong to a woman!

From this point of view, Master Li was not sucked dry by a female ghost at all.

At the same time, this also means that the person who killed him was not the skeleton female ghost at all, but other evil spirits, and that evil spirit was still a man.

I couldn't help but wonder for a while. Seductive female ghosts are not uncommon, but I have never heard of seductive male ghosts.

As a result, at this moment, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.
