On the observation deck on the third floor of the Marshal's Mansion, Sun Shangtian was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and standing with his hands behind his hands, looking at the artificial lake not far in front of him, his brows furrowed into a "sichuan" shape.
For some reason, he began to feel restless after dark. He always had an inexplicable sense of uneasiness and fear, as if some great terror was about to come.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. He had never been so uneasy yesterday when Bai Yulong turned into a ghost and came to seek revenge on him.
Moreover, Zhao Ming was able to stop Bai Yulong by himself yesterday, and today he even hired three of the same ghost exorcism masters from Zhang Shaozong to help. Bai Yulong will soon figure out what he shouldn't have to worry about.
Why on earth?!
Staring at the lake at night, Sun Shangtian slowly felt that he might know where his uneasiness and fear came from. It came from the lake in front of him, because that was the lake where Liu Ruyi committed suicide. What he was uneasy and fearful about was committing suicide by jumping into the lake.
Liu Ruyi in.
Moreover, after Liu Ruyi jumped in and committed suicide, her body has not yet been found or resurfaced on its own.
Since Bai Yulong can turn into a ghost to seek revenge after his death, it may not be impossible for Liu Ruyi to turn into a ghost to seek revenge on herself.
The more I think about it, the more uneasy I become.
"Here comes someone."
"Handsome."
"Go to Ruyifang and see if Mr. Zhao and the others have handled the matter well. If so, ask them to come back immediately."
"yes."
After giving the instructions, Sun Shangcai felt that the uneasiness and fear in his heart had subsided a lot, and he turned around and was about to return to the house.
"Er...Ai Lang..."
"...The classmates have been studying together for three years...we sit side by side and have no guesses..."
Suddenly, a faint and melodious opera song came from behind.
The sound was very small, as if it was coming intermittently in the night wind, but it seemed to have an indescribable magic power that could be clearly transmitted into people's ears.
Sun Shangtian's figure suddenly froze, and the uneasiness and fear that had just subsided suddenly surged out again like a tide. He even suddenly did not dare to look back at this moment.
"...Eighteen years of love for each other, but who would have thought that we would say goodbye on the balcony..."We would say goodbye on the balcony with hatred like the sea...tears stained the wings and turned into colorful butterflies...
"
"....turning into a colorful butterfly...."
"This is Butterfly Lovers!"
The long singing voice continued to be heard. This time, Sun Shangtian heard the lyrics clearly and also heard the specific song sung by this voice. It was surprisingly the poignant love story passed down from ancient times to the present - Butterfly Lovers and Butterfly Lovers!
But for some reason, in this silent night, in this quiet environment, listening to this song, Sun Shangtian felt an unprecedented chill running through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave in an instant.
, whole body is cold.
Sun Shangtian mustered up the courage to turn his head and look for the sound, but this look almost made his soul fly out. He could only see the water surface in the center of the lake where the sound came from. At some point, his hair was disheveled and he couldn't see his face.
The figure of a woman in costume stood on the water, dancing with her sleeves and singing Butterfly Lovers.
This picture makes one's whole body feel cold. Under the night, on the water, a woman with disheveled hair and an invisible face wearing a costume is standing on the water, dancing with her sleeves and singing Butterfly Lovers. Her singing voice is long and full of tears, saying
The indescribable desolation and sorrow seem to penetrate people's hearts, making people feel the misery and desolation of the woman singing along with the singing.
"Plop!"
Sun Shangtian sat slumped on the ground, looking at the figure of a woman appearing on the lake in horror. Others might not be able to recognize who this woman was, but he would never forget it in his dreams. This voice was not Liu's.
Who is Ruyi?
On the other side, at the gate of Ruyifang, they saw Zhao Ming, Ming Kong, and Rong Gu trying to grab their heads at the same time. Zhang Shaozong immediately stopped hesitating and raised his hand to shoot out a soul-killing needle. But at this moment, something happened.
Sudden growth.
"Brother Yulong, leave quickly!"
Inside Ruyifang, suddenly a figure rushed out and knocked open the talisman used by Zhang Shaozong to arrange the soul locking array, causing Zhang Shaozong's soul locking array to break. Then the figure rushed in front of Bai Yulong and helped Bai Yulong block Rong Gu's attack.
The Dharma Mirror allowed Bai Yulong to break out of the formation and escape.
All this happened so fast and suddenly that Zhang Shaozong and the four of them were completely unable to react. By the time they reacted, it was already too late.
Swish——
As soon as he got away, Bai Yulong no longer dared to tangle with Zhang Shaozong and the others. The figure flashed and disappeared directly in the direction of the Marshal's Mansion. The original attacks of Zhang Shaozong and the others fell on the figure. Zhao Ming's spell was the first.
Time expired. Zhang Shaozong and Mingkong's methods had an effect, but they only had a physical effect. Mingkong's Demon-Conquering Pestle hit the opponent, and Zhang Shaozong's Soul-Destroying Needle pierced the opponent's body, but it should have
The effect of destroying ghosts is to make everyone laugh because the other party is a human.
"It's you!"
Zhao Ming was shocked and angry, and recognized the figure, but it was too late to take care of it at this moment, because the escaped Bai Yulong had already flown towards the Marshal's Mansion. He had to rush there, otherwise none of the people in the Marshal's Mansion could stop him.
Fierce ghost.
Mingkong and Ronggu originally wanted to follow, but seeing that Zhang Shaozong didn't move, they hesitated and stayed.
"Who are you and why do you want to save that evil ghost?"
Zhang Shaozong looked at the figure. It was a tall and handsome young man. As he spoke, he walked up and pulled out the soul-killing needle that had been thrust into his flesh. Soul-killing needles are a great weapon for ghosts, but not for living people.
I mean, as long as it's not stuck in a fatal place, there's no big threat, it's almost like being pricked by an ordinary needle.
"Amitabha."
Mingkong also stepped forward and picked up the demon pestle that had just hit the young man.
"Well."
The young man stood up from the ground, holding his chest, looked at Zhang Shaozong and the others, took a deep breath and said.
"My name is Gao Wu, a martial arts student from Ruyifang."
"Wu Sheng of Ruyifang, didn't Marshal Sun say that all the people in Ruyifang were killed by evil spirits?"
When Mingkong and Ronggu heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
Gao Wu immediately laughed sarcastically after hearing this.
"He lied to you. This is his fault. Naturally, he doesn't dare to let others know the truth."
"what happened?"
Rong Gu immediately asked, and both Mingkong and Rong Gu fully realized that the matter might not be as simple as Zhao Ming said during the day, and Zhao Ming clearly knew Gao Wu when he saw the young man's appearance.
"Sun Shangcai is the culprit. He killed Brother Yulong and wanted to seize Sister Ruyi."
Gao Wu gritted his teeth and then told the three people the whole story.
"Our troupe originally came from Guangdong and Guangxi. After arriving in Wuling City, Sun Shangtian saw Sister Ruyi once when he was singing. He immediately became lustful when he saw Sister Ruyi's beautiful face. However, at first he did not force himself, but sent someone to give Sister Ruyi a gift.
I want to use money to impress Sister Ruyi with various financial gifts, but Sister Ruyi and Brother Yulong are loving husband and wife, and they are not the kind of women who are greedy for money."
"Sun Shangtian saw that money could not directly impress Sister Ruyi, so he found the class leader. The class leader couldn't stand Sun Shangtian's coercion and inducement, so he began to act as a lobbyist for Sun Shangtian to impress Sister Ruyi, but Sister Ruyi remained unmoved, and Brother Yulong knew about it.
I had a fight with the class leader over this, and later..."
Later, according to Gao Wu's story, the leader of Ruyifang had a big quarrel with Bai Yulong and finally had the intention to kill Bai Yulong. He realized that in order to persuade Liu Ruyi to go with Sun Shangtian, he had to remove the obstacle of Bai Yulong.
So the leader of Ruyifang found Tan Si, a martial artist in the troupe who had always been jealous of Bai Yulong, in the middle of the night. He gave Tan Si some money and promised some benefits, and persuaded Tan Si and others in the troupe to attack Bai Yulong.
Then on the next day on the stage, Bai Yulong's character had a scene where he was grabbed by his limbs and stabbed with a knife. The leader of Ruyifang, together with Tan Si and his group, took this opportunity to rewrite the original performance on the stage.
The props were replaced with real knives. When Bai Yulong was caught and lifted up by his limbs on the stage, several people stabbed Bai Yulong's body with real knives while covering Bai Yulong's mouth.
When Bai Yulong discovered it, it was already too late. His whole body was controlled, his limbs were raised high, and his mouth was covered. He struggled to no avail. However, the spectators in the audience did not know that this was a real killing and thought it was a real killing.
acting.
In this way, Bai Yulong was assassinated on the stage, but Bai Yulong was not dead at the time. Later, he was taken backstage by Tan Si and others, gagged and put into a sack. In order to ensure that no one would leak it, Tan Si and others also collaborated
The troupe leader threatened the others and stabbed Bai Yulong one by one, so that no one would tell anyone that they were murderers.
In this way, Bai Yulong was killed, and everyone in the troupe knew about it except Liu Ruyi.
In the end, Bai Yulong's body was secretly buried under the stage. Zhao Ming also cast a special spell to suppress Bai Yulong's soul, in order to prevent Bai Yulong from turning into a ghost and seeking revenge.
"I was caught by them and stabbed Brother Yulong. Then they and Sun Shangtian lied to Sister Ruyi that Brother Yulong had committed a crime and was caught by Sun Shangtian. Sister Ruyi went to find Sun Shangtian to save Brother Yulong..."
Gao Wu, who could not bear the condemnation of his conscience, told Liu Ruyi all the truth two days later. Liu Ruyi, who learned the truth, threw herself into the lake and committed suicide. Gao Wu returned to the theater troupe and secretly dug up Bai Yulong's body at night.
Zhao Ming's spell.
Finally, what Zhang Shaozong and others knew was that Bai Yulong turned into a ghost to take revenge and killed everyone in the troupe overnight. He originally wanted to kill Sun Shangtian, but was blocked by Zhao Ming, and then Zhang Shaozong and others were invited.
