After a long journey, we finally settled in Gujia Village.
Although there are only two days left to travel from Qingcheng, there is no need to travel under the stars and the moon.
In addition, Jiang Wuji had a premonition that the fever might relapse at any time.
Maybe it's because I've been living too smoothly these past few days, or maybe it's just unfounded worries.
But according to what Zhang Qiliang and the others said before, it’s not okay to not go back for many days in a row. The body on the other side won’t be able to withstand it.
So Jiang Wuji planned to go back tonight to stretch out a bit, and then come back around noon tomorrow.
Although it will take some time, safety is the best. After all, you don't know what will happen to you when you arrive in Qingcheng. Jiang Wuji doesn't want to see the recurrence of the fever in a life-and-death struggle.
…
Gujia Village is not big, but it may be because it is not far from the capital, so it is a rich village.
The Double Ninth Festival has passed, but some decorations have not yet been taken down, and there are still people in the small market selling pastries and other snacks.
"Master Tao has a discerning mind, you should ask the right person about this!"
Although the tea stall owner has a sly look, he is very enthusiastic when it comes to entertaining.
"This Yue Qingcheng sacrifice has not yet been held. If I remember correctly, it should be three...three or five days later."
"However, Qingcheng Dragon King Festival is no longer as lively as before. Most of the time it is perfunctory and not worth watching."
Jiang Wuji frowned slightly and asked, "Isn't Qingcheng built on the river? It would be disrespectful to perform perfunctory sacrifices. Why is this so?"
"Hehehe..." The stall owner smiled and scratched his head.
"Why are you laughing?" Jiang Wuji asked.
"Hey hey hey..."
"What's wrong?"
"Hey hey hey..."
Just when Jiang Wuji wanted to curse, Han Jiangxue on the side threw a few coins expressionlessly.
"Hey! The girl is so generous. What do you want to ask me? The young lady is famous for her knowledge." The stall owner put away the coins with a smile and shifted his gaze from Jiang Wuji to Han Jiangxue.
Han Jiangxue took a sip of tea and said coldly: "Just answer his question."
"Okay!"
The corner of Jiang Wuji's mouth moved. Han Jiangxue was more clever in terms of worldliness and fireworks in the city.
"Thank you." Jiang Wuji looked at Han Jiangxue.
Han Jiangxue: "No need, just pay me back later."
"Okay." Jiang Wuji responded without saying anything more.
The stall owner continued what he just said: "Have you heard about the recent floating corpses in Qingcheng River?"
Jiang Wuji: "Just say what you want."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." The stall owner shook his head and sighed: "It was said to be the Qingcheng River. First, a female ghost in red appeared! This female ghost has a green face and fangs. She kills people on sight! Then she drags the corpse into the river and eats them.
s eyes!"
"Yes, this female ghost only eats her eyes! She doesn't touch anything else!"
"After these people surfaced after their eyes were eaten, there were exactly twelve corpses every time! No more, no less!"
"The evil spirits have been causing chaos in Qingcheng recently! How can I still be in the mood to hold sacrifices?"
"That's for sure!" the stall owner said in a low voice, "What else can there be except evil spirits? Then the evil things must be caused by evil spirits."
"However, some people say that it is because the sacrifices to the Dragon King have been too perfunctory in recent years, causing the Dragon King to become angry... Haha, this is pure nonsense."
The stall owner looked around, then leaned closer and said, "I know a secret. This secret... not even the people in Fengtiansi know!"
"Oh?" Jiang Wuji raised his eyebrows, showing some interest.
Stall owner: "Hey hey hey..."
Jiang Wuji learned from Han Jiangxue and lost a few coins, but added one sentence.
"If the news is not worth the price, you might lose money."
"It's worth it! It's definitely worth it!"
The greedy stall owner put away the coins with a smile.
"That female ghost is the descendant of the pig butcher!"
"I've heard about the pig butcher, but didn't it happen many years ago?" Jiang Wuji asked the key point.
Stall owner: "Yes, it has been twenty or thirty years, but Master Tao, isn't there a saying that when is the time for retribution?"
"Although the pig butcher is dead, his wife was already pregnant at that time. If the baby is born, won't it become the target of revenge from the deceased's descendants?"
"People who don't know anything think that the pig butcher's baby died, but in fact it was the pig butcher's wife who deliberately said this in order to protect the baby!"
"After so many years, it was still discovered. This piece of paper really can't cover up the fire..."
Jiang Wuji frowned and asked, "If that's the case, then who killed the pig butcher's daughter?"
"Of course they are the descendants of those who died tragically at the hands of the pig butchers. As for who they are, I don't know." The stall owner shrugged, unable to give any other useful clues.
Returning to the carriage, Xiaoyu, who was following Jiang Wuji, said, "Brother, do you think what the stall owner said is true?"
"You can't take it seriously, but you can't ignore it either." Jiang Wuji responded.
"So after arriving in Qingcheng, we go directly to the Yamen to check the files from that year! Find out who are the descendants of those people killed by the pig butcher, and then interrogate them one by one! Maybe we can find clues!"
Cao Li expressed his thoughts and was a little excited.
However, Jiang Wuji shook his head and said: "It won't be that simple. The local government office must have already investigated it. Even if they are not bad, Fengtiansi will also investigate it. If the matter was that simple, this case would have been closed long ago."
"Is it possible that you think too much?" Han Jiangxue asked.
Jiang Wuji: "Do you know about the Qi Luck Pill?"
Cao Li and Jiang Zhiyu both shook their heads, while Han Jiangxue nodded.
"It is something that the royal family uses to bind monks in the world. It is said that after taking it, it can improve one's luck, help practice, and even bring more opportunities."
"How much money is that Luck Pill worth?" Jiang Wuji asked.
Han Jiangxue: "What's wrong is priceless to those who need it, and priceless to those who don't need it."
"..., it's okay, just ask." Jiang Wuji touched the bridge of his nose, feeling that he had said a lot of nonsense.
He just felt that everyone in Fengtiansi was running for the Luck Pill. If this case was so simple, would it be his turn to earn the Luck Pill?
Moreover, it is unreasonable for a case that is too simple to go to Fengtian Division.
"There is no inn in this village, so we'll just make do with it at night."
"We can wait until we get to Qingcheng to discuss other matters."
After saying that, Jiang Wuji got on the carriage and told Xiaoyu to keep an eye on him.
As for Cao Li and Han Jiangxue, they were keeping vigil outside. Jiang Wuji also trusted these two people.
After arranging these things, Jiang Wuji began to use the Five Ghost Moving Technique to control the coins in his hand.
As the copper plates shuttle back and forth, the side effects of the Five Ghost Transport Technique gradually become stronger.
This desire is hard to describe, but it seems to have a certain chance of inducing fever...
My body temperature began to rise and my brain became drowsy.
After a period of trance, Jiang Wuji returned to Su Xiaorui's world as he wished.
"..."
"Nine, nine thoughts? Why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to see you~ Why, you're not welcome?"
The girl wrinkled her beautiful nose, showing her delicate and delicate aura.
