Chapter 38
The next day, the three families sat together to discuss the issue, preparing to make a joint attack to find out the murderer behind the scenes.

However, after so many people searched for three days, they didn't find any news or clues. On the contrary, there were rumors in the streets and alleys of Yincheng that the three major families in Yincheng were patronized by thieves, so that some The Qian family was terrified to death, and the whole Yincheng began to be a little chaotic.

I don't know if it's because of the rumors, but there are fewer people doing business on the street recently, and the Wanyutang has become deserted.

Bao Lan sat at the counter in a daze, while Yunong was doing calculations with his abacus as usual, the two of them didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.

"Yulang, do you think there are really ghosts in our house?" Bao Lan turned around and looked at Yunong, her eyes flickering.

Yunong glanced at her, sighed and shook his head, "Don't think about it."

"If not, why would my eldest sister and third sister suddenly decide to leave Yincheng, and their expressions really look like they have bumped into a ghost." Bao Lan couldn't figure it out.She knows her sister's character too well, and it is impossible for her to leave without receiving huge benefits.

But this time, they actually ran away with their family after staying for one night, saying that her family had a ghost, and they didn't ask her for money when they left.

"If there is a ghost, how can they see it, we can't see it. Don't think about it!" Although Yulang felt strange, he didn't care, because he heard Baobao talk about what Chen'er did. , and also guaranteed that the two families would leave automatically.But he didn't intend to explain so much to Bao Lan.

"I'm in a panic. What if ghosts are bad for my baby? Why don't we invite a Taoist priest to do it at home! People are also panicking on the street now, saying that the gold and silver at home were stolen in the blink of an eye. Well, I thought, maybe it’s a ghost too!”

Xing Chen, who was coming in from the outside, happened to hear Bao Lan's words, she suddenly understood, and immediately stepped forward to hold Bao Lan's aunt.

"Aunt Lan, you are right. We must invite a Taoist priest to do it. And we must be sincere enough. As long as the Taoist priest can help us get rid of these ghosts and keep our family safe, our family will give us the ancestral [-]-year-old ginseng as a reward." !" Xingchen said with a sincere face, but Bao Lan was frightened by her expression.

"Well, Chen'er, what are you talking about... Wannian ginseng?"

Xingchen chuckled, "Aunt Lan, don't worry about this, Uncle Yu is hiding it. Come on, I'll write a notice, and you post this on the street..."

Aunt Lan didn't dare to move, she looked at Yunong, but Yunong just smiled and nodded, "Just do what Chen'er said!"

Xingchen quickly wrote the notice, handed it to Bao Lan, and asked her to complain more to the people who read the notice, and talk about something about someone seeing a ghost at home. "

After Bao Lan left, Yunong smiled and asked Xingchen, "Are you planning to lure out that gold thief?"

Xingchen nodded, "Uncle Yu, wait for the eldest brother to come back later, you ask him to help me catch the thief at night, and I will go to the prefect's mansion."

"Go. Be careful on the road."

Xingchen went to the prefect's mansion to borrow a priceless thousand-year cold jade box suitable for spinning ten thousand-year-old snow ginseng, and then told the prefect and Yincheng what she was going to do at night.

Prefect Yin had no other choice, so he supported Xing Chen's seemingly nonsense approach.

Soon, the prefect selected several people to pretend to be Taoist priests, and went to Wanyutang at different times.

Xingchen is also generous, and really took out a ten thousand year ginseng.

She asked Uncle Yu to set up a table in the yard, and their family sat behind the table, and Xing Chen sat at the farthest side holding a cold jade dagger.

It was getting darker and darker, and Taoist priests came one after another. Just after they explained their intentions, the lights in the Wanyu Hall suddenly went out, and a little bit of sporadic fire began to wander around the whole house, and it seemed that they were getting worse and worse. There are more and more.

Bao Lan suddenly called out in a mournful voice: "Here they are, those things are here again. It's a will-o'-the-wisp... Taoist priests, hurry up and catch these monsters."

The Taoist priests look at me and I look at you, all of them have embarrassing expressions.

"Master Dao, hurry up, there are more and more of those will-o'-the-wisps, as long as you get rid of them, even drive away or kill one, we will give you Ten Thousand Years Snow Ginseng. Please save us!" A pair of terrified beautiful eyes were about to shed tears.

"Okay!" A Taoist priest with a sense of justice went in first.

Everyone only saw him waving his sword, and the ghost fires seemed to have really disappeared, and the Taoist priest rushed out from the outside, panting from exhaustion.

"Pindao did his best!"

"Thank you Taoist priest, thank you Taoist priest!" Uncle Yu also stood up to thank the Taoist priest, and Xing Chen generously packed the cold jade treasure box, and gently cut off a thin piece of Wannian snow ginseng with a dagger and gave it to the Taoist priest.

The Taoist master took it and smelled it, and all fear and boredom disappeared immediately. Just smelling it, he felt like he had eaten an elixir.

Others naturally smelled it too, knowing that it was a genuine treasure, their enthusiasm was also lost, and they rushed into the house one after another, fighting against the will-o'-the-wisp...

Of course, all Taoist priests who entered the house got a little ginseng, but they were content.

Soon, the fact that Wanyutang distributed Wannian Snow Ginseng as a reward for catching ghosts was quickly spread to everyone.

In a dark and dilapidated alley, a Taoist priest knelt next to a man wearing a rich mask, holding a small piece of Wannian Snow Ginseng in both hands, "Master, do you think this is Wannian Snow Ginseng?"

The masked man took it, smelled it, and his face changed drastically.

This ten thousand year snow ginseng can't be found in the entire Zhongxuan Continent, but I didn't expect that this small Ten Thousand Fish Hall had hidden one.

"You ghost, go! Take it all back." The masked man said, and a pale man sprang out from the darkness.

"Yes."

The Taoist priest took off his Taoist uniform, and the ghost quickly put it on, and after some tidying up, he headed towards the Wanyu Hall.

There are not many Taoist priests in Wanyu Hall, and the master's family is already depressed and has no expectations.

"I would like to help you get rid of these will-o'-the-wisps. If I get rid of them, can you give me all the ginseng?" You Gui looked closely at the two-thirds of the ten-year-old ginseng on the table, feeling a pain in his flesh!
"That's natural." As soon as Yu Nong said it, he felt his head went blank.

The expressions of Aunt Lan and Baobao seemed to be fixed there, and You Gui sneered for a while.

Xingchen also saw everyone's reaction, she said coldly: "Brother, please invite this Taoist priest to sit in, he must be the expert we are looking for."

With that said, Murong Qingfeng came out from inside and made a gesture of invitation.

You Ghost was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and was about to escape when he was controlled by Murong Qingfeng.

Murong Qingfeng didn't make things difficult for him, and locked him directly in the haunted house.

The poor Specter started to wield his sword, killing, killing, killing... But even with all his strength and force, he didn't kill a single will-o'-the-wisp, but he wanted to go out, as if he had encountered a ghost hitting a wall, no matter what. can not go out.

Seeing that the person inside was lying on the ground tired, Murong Qingfeng opened the door, threw the person out, and gave him a piece of ten thousand year ginseng as usual.

The ghost returned to the alley dejectedly, "My lord, there are really will-o'-the-wisps, there are a lot of them, and the young master and lady of the Wanyu Hall are so powerful, everyone has calmed down, and those two people are still sitting there awake."

The masked man looked suspicious, how could this be possible.It is impossible for anyone on the Zhongxuan Continent to break her time taboo.

"Do you need to go out in person?" Xing Chen appeared behind You Ghost at some point, floating in midair, smiling coquettishly.

Shock and surprise flashed across the eyes of the masked man, this girl is...

"You stole everything from Yin Mansion, Man Mansion, and Qiao Mansion!" Xing Chen looked at the masked man in front of him carefully, with affirmation in his tone.

The masked man came back to his senses, a smile flashed in his eyes.It turned out that the ghost hunting incident in Wanyutang was just a game set up by this girl.

"Yes. What does Chen'er want to do?" The masked man raised the corners of his lips, with a good mood on his face.

"Return the things. No, who are you?" Xing Chen frowned, and he called her Chen'er?The voice seemed to have been deliberately changed, not wanting to hear it.

"Since Chen'er wants it, let's get it from under the peach tree in Xiantao Mountain tomorrow! Goodbye!" the masked man said and was about to leave.

Xing Chen would not let him go, he quickly ran up to him, looking at him with eyes: "Who are you?"

"You will know later." The masked man stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to caress her face, but Chen'er's hand was faster, and he was about to take off the mask on his face.

The masked man easily dodged her attack with one side of his body, wrapped his arms around her waist, and spit out a gentle breath on her face, "You are not my opponent now. Take care of yourself and don't let yourself get hurt. In addition , the person who attacked the Yin family was Xu Zhili, governor of Zhongzhou. There is still a force in the Lieyan Dynasty looking for you!"

The masked man let go of her suddenly, turned around and disappeared into the night.

At the same time, the specter on the ground, whose jaws were about to drop in shock, was surrounded by a burst of white light, and soon disappeared.

who is he?Why does she have a familiar feeling.

Xingchen was absent-minded for a while, and returned to Wanyu Hall.

Seeing Chen'er coming back, Murong Qingfeng looked at her worriedly: "Chen'er, the person I'm chasing is just a phantom. Are you okay?"

"Brother, I chased him. I asked something, but unfortunately, another masked man came and rescued him."

"It's good that you're fine." Murong Qingfeng rubbed her hair indifferently, "Go and rest early!"

"Brother, the man said that the thing they stole is under the peach tree on Xiantao Mountain. You can ask the eunuch if they have found any clues among those people who are chasing them."

"En. Don't worry. I think your complexion is not very good." Murong Qingfeng felt that Chen'er was a little absent-minded, and his complexion was also not very good.

"I'm fine. Big brother, is it strange that you say it's strange, but the masked man actually told me that Xu Zhili asked them to do the affairs of Yinfu. What's even more strange is that the masked man seems to know me." After thinking about it, Xing Chen still Decided to tell the eldest brother better.

"Know you?" Murong Qingfeng became nervous now, "What's going on here?"

"He didn't attack me when he saw me, and directly said that I was not his opponent, and told me to take care of myself and not get hurt. And...and he said that there is still a force that is not good for us in the Raging Flame Dynasty looking for us everywhere. "

After finishing speaking, Xing Chen bit her lip, feeling uneasy.

Murong Qingfeng was silent for a moment, then looked at her comfortingly: "That person may not be our enemy. Don't worry about what he said, brother will check it out."

"Well! Brother, you must be careful in the future!"

"I will."

Lie Yan Dynasty, one day he will definitely bring Chen'er back!
The next day, Prefect Yin, Man's family, and Qiao's family took people up to Xiantao Mountain one after another.

The Xiantao Tree under Xiantao Mountain, although the terrain there is dangerous, but with the help of experts, it is easy to catch.They really found a mountain of treasures under the peach tree.
