The two people's argument was so loud that even a bell couldn't cover it up. The "white ghost" wandering in the backyard discovered them immediately.
When the white ghost rushed towards them with its kneecap-less legs, the two of them had already entered the safe room quickly and slammed the door tightly.
Since he entered the house in person, the white ghost did not leave.
The bell trembled, forming an invisible protective array with the four eaves and corners. The white ghost could not get in, and instinctively hated the bell, so he could only bend down and stick his dark eyeballs, the only color in his body, to the window pane.
It looked gloomily through the hole in the window pane.
Watching the two furious people let go of their hands as soon as the door was closed, they seemed to calm down instantly.
White ghosts don't know how to wonder or think, they just stare resentfully without blinking.
In the room, Yu Xing let go of his hand and patted the front of Zhao Yijiu's clothes apologetically.
"This necklace of yours is so strong, it wasn't even torn."
"You'll have to pay for the damage." Zhao Yijiu relaxed all over. He looked around and ignored the eyeballs outside the window - this time he was protected inside the house, and the white ghost's sight had no harmful effect.
In this case, just let it go eavesdropping.
Because no one was using this room, it was very dusty and empty. There wasn't even a table, so they could only stand when they came in.
But it doesn't matter, I didn't plan to take a rest.
Guijiu looked at Yu Xing, who seemed to be unharmed, and finally took the initiative to ask: "What's going on with the old man? Is there a big problem?"
If it was the easier one to solve, Yu Xing probably wouldn't have deliberately shouted to attract the white ghost outside the door to prevent the old man from eavesdropping.
Moreover, usually NPCs who have one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes can be eliminated on the spot with the fighting power of Inugami and Darthead.
But Yu Xing actually pretended to be oblivious in front of the old man, and waited until the old man finished telling him the ridiculous "story" full of loopholes before he signaled for his cooperation to find trouble and leave the old man.
"The problem is indeed big. The key is that I don't know what the consequences will be if I touch him, so I can only stabilize it temporarily." Yu Xing shrugged, "You also found out that he was lying?"
"Of course. We can't confirm everything he said, but I'm not stupid, how could I not notice the part related to Yizhuang." Zhao Yijiao played with the amulet angrily.
"He is afraid of white ghosts. How could he choose to live in the backyard on the first night? There are ghosts and formations in the backyard. But any ordinary person with a clear mind knows that at this time, he will definitely stay in the wing room in the middle courtyard. What's more,
Not to mention an experienced corpse hunter."
"Furthermore, the weird situation here is so rampant that even the sky can be suppressed in the dark. It's hard for outsiders to appear tonight. Shouldn't the old man at least let some people go out to report the news so that he can find capable people to solve the problem? He
It would be better to just let a group of us pacify the body for him. It doesn't look like he wants to go out at all, but more like he wants us to stay too."
"He once explored Yi Zhuang and must have known that there were not enough shrouds and coffins. Even so, his choice was to lock the backyard and not communicate with us. Doesn't he know that a group of people with different agendas come together and have conflicts of interest?
What will happened?"
Zhao Yijiu became more and more gloomy as he talked.
The old man thought he didn't listen carefully at all, but in fact he listened to every word.
"Aside from these obvious doubts, there is one more thing. There are fourteen corpses in the front yard, ten of which are old people. It is hard for me to believe that these people are guests on the same boat, even in our
The Inugami clan, at this age, it’s time to take a good rest and stop running around.”
Therefore, he didn't believe a word the old man said.
Because the whole story was false from the beginning, and those corpses were not the victims of the boat accident, it was impossible for the old man’s old friend to write to the old man on the grounds of this incident. Going forward, there was no reason for the old man to rush from Xiangxi to Longxi.
Ling, then he is probably not a corpse chaser.
Since he is not a corpse chaser...
"He said that he had too much contact with the dead and was trapped as a corpse by the backyard formation. Is this true?" Guijiu looked at Yu Xing.
Yu Xing was stroking the whip on his waist one after another. His eyes were filled with joy at the improvement of Zhao Yijiu's analytical ability, but his face showed the relief of a bodyguard meeting a teammate with whom he had a tacit understanding.
He nodded when he heard this: "Although I didn't arrive at Yizhuang much earlier than you, I have been staying with this old man since I woke up."
Since he mentioned this, he briefly talked about his experience after disappearing from the camp.
First, the white jade coffin turned into a piece of paper and stuck it behind his back, controlling his limbs and walking towards Yizhuang.
He also saw a road with condensed moonlight, but when he entered Yizhuang, the coffin on his body suddenly weighed heavily, and then he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he was already staying with the old man. The old man said that he was unconscious at the door, so the old man took him back to the house, and he meant to save his life.
The old man originally didn't plan to tell him anything, but Yu Xing found that the coffin was missing. After several questionings, the old man told him that he was a corpse exterminator, which was probably made up.
The arrival of the white jade coffin seemed to have broken the balance of the backyard, making the bone bell unable to restrain the white jade coffin and the ghosts in the coffin, and even tended to fall.
The old man said that if this continues, the three absolutely safe rooms in the backyard will also become ineffective. If they cannot leave before then, they will all be killed by ghosts.
"I can confirm that he was indeed trapped in the backyard. Maybe that's why he was anxious." Yu Xing said, "The coffin ran around on its own after entering the backyard. Sometimes it could be seen, and sometimes it didn't know where to go.
Where did it go? I suspect it was originally connected to Yizhuang, so it borrowed my body to come here."
It seems that his character’s personal line quest has only now emerged.
Is this the final big trap that the chief escort set for him? Knowing the origin of the white jade coffin, he asked him to escort the goods to the vicinity of Yizhuang, and fell into the trap one night when he was unprepared.
if……
If a story starts from him, then this should be the time for his character to go offline.
Yu Xing thought of some speculations about the world and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Zhao Yijiu thought: "So, what the old man said is not completely false. There is a formation in the backyard to trap corpses and condense their resentment, and there are also bone bells to suppress ghosts."
Then things will be clear.
The dangers in Yizhuang itself are indeed in the backyard, and the white ghost himself comes from Yizhuang.
How the old man and the corpses in Yi Zhuang came from and why they appeared here are worth pondering.
The most terrifying thing is that under such lies, the old man's motive for letting outsiders take care of the body.
The two of them were thinking about two things respectively. Suddenly, Zhao Yijiu raised his head: "I almost forgot, something happened outside the yard. Does the old man want outsiders to trade their lives for their lives?"
"I haven't seen those corpses. You guys came here after the old man made up the story. I have been in the backyard." Yu Xing answered quickly, "Drown?"
"It looks like they were drowned. If the corpse turned into a ghost, it should be classified as a water ghost." Zhao Yijiu twitched the corner of his mouth.
Water ghosts are the type who like to exchange the lives of living people for their own lives.
Zhao Yijiu said: "I just heard a corpse scam in the front yard. I wonder if they ran out... There are thirteen people besides me. Do you want to go out and look for them?"
"Definitely. I also need to observe it again." Yu Xing nodded. He had been in the backyard and was affected by the old man and the ghost at the same time. He was too restricted.
If the body was drowned, it should indeed be related to Yejiang, and it was not drowned by a capsized boat. What else could be the cause of death...
…
boom!
The old man's door was kicked open again, and the two young men finally lured away the white ghost in the courtyard and stumbled in with scars all over their bodies.
The old man who was taking a nap was startled and looked at him slowly, "...you guys, are you done?"
"Tsk." Yu Xinggao's ponytail was pulled loose and he rolled his eyes, "I'm going to go outside to see the situation. What kind of trash can't do anything well, so that I, who was not there, became the 'culprit'.
Hey old man, I heard that there is a corpse scam outside, do you want to come with us to have a look?"
"Fake corpse!" When the old man heard this, he seemed very surprised and even sat up straighter. "Yes, Yizhuang is so fierce, it is indeed possible to fake the corpse. God is so blind! Why does it happen tonight?
Well, those kind-hearted children...hey! Did something happen to them?"
He grabbed Yu Xing's arm: "You must not go out. The fake corpse is too dangerous. Be careful to risk your life outside. Come with me first and take shelter here!"
Having said that, as if he had just remembered that there was someone else here, he turned to Zhao Yijiu: "You, since you have come to the backyard, don't leave yet. Wait for a while -"
"It's okay, old man. As a corpse chaser, you must have a way to suppress those corpses. Give us the things quickly, and we will go out and help you catch all the corpses." Guijiu said without any courtesy at all,
His hands were already digging into the old man's body.
The old man was startled and struggled a few times, but he could not refuse.
"Child!"
Guijiu chuckled: "What's wrong, old man, what I said is wrong? Why do you feel that you have no sense of responsibility as a corpse exterminator? How could you let the corpse run away by itself and sit here by yourself?"
"Our saint is still outside. I advise you to be wise. If she dies, I don't care what your difficulties are. I will definitely come back and kill you."
Listening to his threat, the old man's wrinkled face twitched hard.
"And me. I'm going to prove my innocence. Even if you save me, don't try to stop me." Yu Xing had a look on his face.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that he couldn't defeat them, the old man finally took out a few bundles of cotton thread from his sleeves: "You can just use this to tie up the hands and legs of the corpse! Don't torture my old bones, go ahead!"
