The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

In order to return to Xijing as soon as possible, Jingchen and Gu Mengyin chose to ride horses on the way back.

The two of them raced all the way until it got dark before slowing down.

"Junior sister, should we find a place to stay tonight or just spend the night outside."

After running around all day, Ma Gu Mengyin was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back. She just wanted to find a place to take a hot bath and then have a good sleep.

"Find a place to stay, your body is about to fall apart."

"Then let's go further."

The two continued walking for several miles without seeing any villages or towns. They only saw a village not far away. From a distance, they could see sparks in the village, which must be where someone lived.

"Let's see if we can stay at the village for one night."

"kindness."

A quarter of an hour later, the two arrived outside Zhuangzi.

Jingchen turned over and immediately stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

After knocking for a while, there was a sound of footsteps inside.

After a while, the door opened, and an old man with a pale face stuck his head out.

Jingchen said politely: "Uncle, we are Taoist priests passing by. Can we stay at your residence for a night?"

The uncle was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and motioned for them to leave quickly, "Something happened here last night. You'd better look elsewhere."

"Is there any place to stay near here?"

The uncle thought for a moment and shook his head, "No more. The nearest town is twenty miles away."

Twenty miles away, let alone Gu Mengyin, Jingchen himself didn't want to run away.

"Uncle, let's give you money. All you need is a little hot water and a wooden bed in an empty room."

The uncle saw the two of them were silent for a while and then said: "It's not that I don't want you to stay overnight, but I'm afraid of scaring you."

Gu Mengyin didn't think anything could scare her.

"Sir, it doesn't matter."

The uncle sighed and lowered his voice: "A few days ago, the master and his family of Zhuangzi said they would come here to play. Unexpectedly, no one was there just at midnight. Now the whole family has stopped here. They have to stop enough. The funeral can only take place after seven days."

"Because the whole family is dead, and every relative who came to watch the funeral felt that they died strangely, they were scared. Some distant relatives paid some money for me to keep watch here. If you weren't afraid, there would be two empty rooms. For you."

Jingchen and Gu Mengyin exchanged a look and decided to stay here. Neither of them wanted to race anymore.

Seeing that they were determined to stay, the uncle didn't try to persuade them anymore, and moved his body to let them in.

As soon as they entered, the two felt a strong gloomy energy.

Through the faint moonlight, you can still see the white cloth hanging on the porch. Coupled with such a gloomy night, no matter how courageous you are, you will feel scared when you see it.

The uncle held a lantern and led the two of them around the mourning hall.

When passing by the mourning hall, Gu Mengyin forgot to glance inside.

One, two, three, four...seven or eight, a total of eight coffins, a family of eight, that is really miserable.

I don't know if Gu Mengyin saw it wrong. When she looked away, she seemed to see a coffin move.

She turned her eyes and looked over again, but there was no movement again.

Maybe I was so tired after a long day of traveling that I was hallucinating.

After the three people passed by the mourning hall, the people in the coffin slowly sat up from the coffin and looked at the direction they left with empty eyes. The uncle took them to a small room next to the woodshed in the backyard.

"This place should have been used for servants who worked. There are bedding and everything. The kitchen is right next to it. If you want to use water, you can go to the kitchen to cook it yourself. I will stay in the front yard. It's okay. Don’t go to the front either, it’s scary at night.”

The two of them naturally responded.

The uncle left after explaining. There was only a dim kerosene lamp in the room.

Gu Mengyin yawned, "Senior brother, go and boil some water."

"Brother, burn it for you."

Jingchen carried the oil lamp and walked to the kitchen not far away.

Gu Mengyin lay down on the bed casually. The conditions of the servants in this family were not bad, and the quilt was quite warm.

Gu Mengyin lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

When she was sleeping deeply, she felt a cold breath approaching her. She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed, and saw eight upright figures standing outside the door.

The corners of Gu Mengyin's eyes twitched. This was obviously the family of eight lying in the coffin. Was it frozen?

How long will it take, it won’t be enough.

They didn't move, they just stood upright and looked at Gu Mengyin. It was a bit stupid to look like that.

Gu Mengyin crossed her legs, turned her palms over, and a ball of fire burned in her palms.

"Now, I'll give you a chance to speak. If you don't speak, I will burn your body and soul. How can anyone die and not want their soul to come out of their body? This is against the rules."

After saying that, the talisman in Gu Mengyin's hand flew away and passed over their heads one by one.

After the talisman flew by, the eyes of the family gradually became clearer, and they no longer looked so scary.

Gu Mengyin flicked the fire in her hand, and several flames flew out for lighting.

The leading middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before being the first to walk into the room and kneel down in front of Gu Mengyin.

"Please ask the master to avenge my family."

Gu Mengyin raised her eyebrows lazily, "Tell me, what's going on?"

The middle-aged man started with a look of hatred on his face: "Originally, our family went to Zhuangzi to play happily, but suddenly we died unexpectedly. We still don't know how we died."

Gu Mengyin sat up straight and asked, "How come you don't know why you died?"

"Yes, I don't know. Our souls are always in our bodies because we always feel that we are not dead at all."

"We also ask experts to help us find out the cause of our death and find the person who murdered our family, so that we can rest in peace and go to the underworld to be reincarnated in peace."

Spiritual bodies are prone to resentment when they have obsessions. This resentment can easily turn into evil ghosts after absorbing some essence of heaven and earth.

"Tell me what your last memory is before you die."

The man said: "It was just a family meal. After dinner, everyone went back to their houses to rest, and they never woke up after that."

"Could it be that someone poisoned the food?" Gu Mengyin guessed.

The man shook his head, "I don't know, but there was nothing unusual at that time. Please help us."

Gu Mengyin glanced at the eight members of the family. The youngest one looked to be only three or four years old. If he was really killed by someone, the murderer was really ruthless and left no one behind.

"For the sake of letting you stay in your village for one night, I will do this for you, but there is one thing. After you find out the truth, you will be reincarnated honestly."

"Yes, definitely, definitely!"
