After the little nun named Ying Ning left, Li Xiuyuan looked back and walked towards the wooden house thoughtfully.
As soon as you push the door open, a cool breeze carrying the scent of rouge and gouache blows in your face, as if you have come to a gentle land for a while. Just taking a few breaths of this smell will easily make you intoxicated and unable to extricate yourself.
At the same time, various whispering sounds floated in along with the scent of rouge and gouache.
"Gee, what a handsome young man. Which sister he is from seems to be good."
"It doesn't matter who his old sweetheart is, but I was greedy when I saw him. Don't fight me for it later, he is mine."
"Go, go, go, this young man's yang energy is so full, it's like scalding heat, can you bear it?"
"I can't stand it. Is it possible that you can? It's better if you have more yang energy. That's how delicious it is."
These sounds sounded like someone whispering, or like the rattling of old wooden furniture. People couldn't tell what the sounds were. In short, they didn't sound like people talking.
Li Xiuyuan knew that this was a ghost whisper.
He glanced at the wooden house, only to see that it was empty. There were only rows of wooden shelves neatly placed in the house. On the easels, there were exquisitely crafted paintings hanging.
, there are houses, sky, and clouds, but those are mostly foils. Each painting has a common feature, that is, there is a beautiful woman wearing gorgeous clothes.
The women in the paintings have different clothes and different looks. After a quick glance, I found that there are at least hundreds of such paintings hanging here.
"Gee, sir, look over here, the slave family is here."
While he was looking at it, the woman in the picture of a beautiful woman next to him was holding a small fan and glaring at him, full of temptation.
Li Xiuyuan took a look and saw that the woman in the painting was walking towards her impatiently, her figure gradually getting bigger, as if she was about to jump out of the painting.
"Don't scare this handsome young man, or I won't spare you."
"That's right."
The other beauties started whispering without any movement.
Li Xiuyuan saw that the female ghost seemed to be afraid of the day and did not dare to come out, so he ignored the female ghost in the painting and quickly patrolled the wooden house, looking for the whereabouts of Nv Qiao. The women in these paintings
They are all female ghosts, possessing the inside of the painting. If Miss Qiao is here, she should be hiding in a painting.
"You see, this handsome young man is not interested in you, haha, that's right, you are not lovable in the first place."
The woman in a picture of beautiful women nearby laughed, seeming to be laughing at the female ghost who failed to seduce Li Xiuyuan.
"I haven't revealed my figure yet. If I reveal my figure, I will definitely make this handsome young man fascinated." The previous painting was shaking again and again, seeming a little annoyed.
"Then why don't you show your body? I bet that you will scare this young master if you show yourself."
"Yes, yes, it's still broad daylight. You'd better put your thoughts away and wait until night comes."
The female ghosts in other paintings kept talking to each other.
For a moment, the cabin was filled with ghost whispers and chirping, which was really noisy.
Li Xiuyuan patrolled back and forth between the easels, just to find where the girl Qiao was.
He found that there were names in the corners of each painting, which were written: Ying Sanniang, Ying Siniang, Ying Siniang, and so on.
"Are they all female ghosts in this temple?"
Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly: "Aunt Hua of Guanyin Temple gathers so many loose women. What does the gorgeous female ghost do? Open a brothel? Or do these women have other uses for her?"
I didn’t understand it and didn’t think too much about it.
He only waited to find Nv Qiao's paintings before leaving here. Everything would naturally come to light when he found Aunt Hua.
Just when he turned around and was about to examine the pictures of beauties on the next easel, he suddenly felt a chill coming from his back.
"Um?"
Li Xiuyuan stopped and glanced back from the corner of his eye.
But I saw a woman stretching out her palm from the painting, and then her body was as light as smoke, slowly floating out, and finally landed on the ground and became a woman with a light body and beautiful appearance.
"This young man..."
As soon as the woman opened her mouth and before she finished speaking, Li Xiuyuan took the lead and said: "Girl, since you are the female ghost attached to the painting, even if you whispered about it before, why show your body in the daytime? With your way of doing things, even if you show your body, you should."
I can’t hold it for too long, maybe I think my yin energy is too strong and I want to dissipate it a little bit?”
When the woman heard this, her face suddenly froze, and then she looked at Li Xiuyuan with some fear: "You, how do you know? Are you a Taoist?"
"No, I'm just an ordinary scholar."
Li Xiuyuan said: "I've just seen a lot of things like gods and ghosts, so I'm not surprised at all."
"So that's it. I didn't expect that the young master is also proficient in ghosts and gods. He can tell at a glance that the slave is a ghost." The female ghost in the painting breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Li Xiuyuan is not a Taoist, it would be fine. If he were a Taoist, he might have to slay demons today.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Just in time, since you have revealed your figure, can you do me a small favor?"
The female ghost smiled and said: "I wonder what kind of help the master wants from the slave family?"
"Can you help me find the young lady of the Qiao family?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"Miss Qiao?"
The female ghost's face changed slightly, she looked at the room inside, and then she said with a stiff smile: "How do you know about Miss Qiao's affairs? Young Master has to ask Aunt Hua. Everything here is under Aunt Hua's control.
Call the shots.”
"Really? If that's the case, then I'll look for it again. Since the girl is a ghost, it's better to go back to the painting as soon as possible." Li Xiuyuan said.
The female ghost saluted and said, "The slave family has resigned."
After saying that, it turned into a dark wind and flew into a blank picture scroll nearby.
Soon, there was a picture of a beautiful woman in the scroll.
"Infant Shiniang?"
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly and he saw the words "Ying Shiniang" written under the corner of the picture of the beautiful woman just now.
"Thanks."
He thanked him secretly in his heart, and then walked straight towards the wooden house inside.
Although Ying Shiniang was pretending not to know just now, her eyes revealed everything, implying that the young lady of the Qiao family was in the room inside.
As for why there was such a subtle hint, I was naturally scrupulous and didn't want to offend that Aunt Hua.
If this is the case, then he will not break this hint to avoid being known by other female ghosts.
The wooden house inside was dark and empty, except for an altar table.
There is a small statue on the altar, which looks like the Guanyin who delivers the baby outside. However, this small statue does not hold a baby in its hands, and is just dressed like an ordinary woman.
There is no doubt that this woman-like statue is the Hua Gu mentioned by Ying Ning and Ying Shiniang.
However, what Li Xiuyuan cared about was not Hua Gu's statue, but a book underneath the statue.
He immediately felt that this book should be what Ying Shiniang was alluding to.
Immediately, he removed the statue, took the books, and looked through them at will.
But I saw that the book was written with a woman's birth date and date of birth, and there were also small paper figures inside. The paper figures also looked like women, and were somewhat similar to the scrolls outside.
After flipping through it, Li Xiuyuan immediately found a name on the last few pages.
"Qiao Panpan, Miss Qiao from Hua County..."
At the back are birthdates, date and month of birth, and other such records, and a small paper figure is also added between the pages.
When I took the little paper figurine and took a look, it turned out that the appearance was exactly the same as Miss Qiao's, as if it was carved from the same mold.
"So it turns out that Miss Qiao's soul is this paper man, imprisoned by Hua Gu's statue, and suppressed here."
Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that he wanted to get the paper man, but suddenly he remembered that his body was special and could not touch ghosts and gods, so he stopped immediately, then put the book into the Ghost King's bag and prepared to take it away.
You must know that there are many souls who were seduced by innocent people, and these souls all ended up with the same fate as Qiao Nv. In this case, why not just save Qiao Nv, and save the others as well.
"Now everything is clear. This Aunt Hua is a demon who has done many evil things. Such a demon will not be allowed to stay with her this time."
After Li Xiuyuan took away the books, he looked at the statue on the altar table and felt unhappy. Then he knocked the statue to the ground with a wave of his hand.
After the statue fell to the ground, there was a loud bang and it broke into two pieces. There was a smell of incense coming out, but it was not strong.
After all, this is just a small dharma body of Huagu, and the huge statue outside is the lifeblood of Huagu.
