Chapter 6

"This is a strange thing to say. This Chen Jialin was weak and sick since he was a child, and it was not suitable for him to have much contact with people. Chen Yi bought a big house for him to recuperate." Nangong Qu raised his head and planned to start from the beginning.

"Chen Jialin?" The name was very familiar.Xue He frowned.

Could it be that Chen Jialin who has been following just now?Then this matter is really aimed at Mr. Xiao Lang.

Xue He bit his lips, thoughtfully, "How old is Chen Jialin now? Why did you buy a house specially for him to recuperate?"

"Just reached Zhixue." Que Rong said suddenly, "I also know about this, Mr. Chen is just such a son, he loves him very much, and sends him rare treasures every now and then for his entertainment."

"It's not uncommon for a wealthy family to be the only child. It's not uncommon for the family to be favored. But what's strange is that such a young master who is held in the palm of his hand, died, and Chen Yi, the old man, did nothing." Nangong Qu paused After a pause, he leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Chen Jialin's death is extremely terrifying, but there is something even more bizarre about this matter."

"More bizarre?" Xue He asked curiously, "How bizarre?"

Nangong Qu glanced at him, but turned his back, and murmured to Querong alone, "I heard it too. It is said that when it was discovered, the corpse was in good condition, but I just invited a doctor to check it. As soon as Wu Zuo touched it, the corpse began to rot."

Querong shuddered when he heard this, this was a real person who had just greeted him a few words, and in a blink of an eye his gray hair was replaced by white bones.

Nangong Qu didn't notice Querong's cold face, and continued to describe the scene that day vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, "The whole body rotted away, and in an instant, there was no flesh left, and every inch of bone was exposed. All the people who saw it were in their prime of life, and none of them did not vomit on the spot."

"In the world, there is such a poison that can turn corpses into bones?" Querong said.

Nangong Qu shook his head, "It doesn't look like he was poisoned. You said he was drugged, but his family is a well-known big medicine merchant in the capital, and even a medicine merchant can't name any poison that can make people feel sick. It's like this in a blink of an eye. Do you think it's not strange?"

"It's strange that the body turns into bones." Querong was a little shocked.

Nangong Qu leaned forward and muttered in a low voice, "Tell me, could something unclean come from Yecheng?"

Xue He's hand holding the cup froze.

This is indeed not poisoning, it is clearly a crooked trick of evil spirits.

Xue Yan's face changed when he heard it, he shook Xue He's sleeves, and couldn't help shouting softly, "Little master——"

"Hush." ​​The cup in his hand was shaken out of water, Xue He knew what he was going to say, put down the cup and wiped his hands, interrupted Xue Yan, "Don't talk nonsense."

Xue Yan let out an aggrieved "Oh", and stood behind and didn't dare to speak again.

In fact, Xue Yan's conjecture is not unreasonable.Vaguely, Xue He also sensed that something was wrong.

They came here following the breath of Yanlu, and a homicide happened as soon as they settled here.Yanlu was seriously injured and weak, and it was normal for the demons to attack mortals.Could it be that he chased Yanlu all the way to this point, and that's why he killed Xiao Langjun?

If the deer is not eliminated, there may be no peace in this world.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, and the two big men are chewing on your ears." Nangong Qu pursed his lips, eyes full of disapproval.

Querong looked at the two masters and servants, and also felt a little weird, but didn't point it out, but continued to ask Nangong Qu: "I heard from Brother Xu that they found out about me based on the flowers beside Young Master Chen when he died. What kind of flower is the flower next to him?"

"It's a pot of pale yellow lotus. It grows very delicate and beautiful, and a large flower blooms in full bloom. Everyone said that this rare flower is only available in Huazhai." Nangong Qu said.

Que Rong nodded, "Young Master Chen loves lotus like an idiot, and everyone in Yecheng knows it. This flower is called Bingjiao, and it is indeed from my Hua Zhai. Young Master Chen asked me to find it a few months ago. I just came from it yesterday. I'll take it here. According to what you said, the flowers are not damaged in the slightest, which is obviously left by the murderer on purpose."

"Is it just a coincidence?" Xue He was thoughtful.

Querong glanced at him, and said helplessly: "It's indeed a coincidence. Young Master Chen doesn't like to deal with people, so he just got acquainted with me and talked about raising flowers. If something happens to him, I can't escape the responsibility."

Looking at his drooping eyelids, Xue Herao's heart was pulled hard, and he would not participate in such trivial matters on weekdays.But for some reason, this time he wanted to catch Yanlu back as soon as possible to make up for his mistakes and protect this mortal's life.

If Xiao Langjun died because of him, I'm afraid he will have trouble sleeping and eating even more.

There can no longer be people who died in vain.

"Why don't we go check the corpse together at night?" Xue He suggested, trying to find clues from it.If it was really Yan Lu's attack, the breath would not have dissipated like this.

Querong hesitated, then turned to Nangong Qu, "Where is that flower now?"

"In the Chen residence." Nangong Qu said.

"What about Young Master Chen?"

"In Yizhuang."

The night was dark and the air was cold.

Everyone stood at the gate of Yizhuang.This small house is at night, and the door is just closed without even a lock.

Xue Yan is timid, and he has never seen such a place, so he can't help but shrink his neck and endure the cold wind to look around, and can't help muttering to the side, "Little master, this Yizhuang is so simple, it seems that no one on duty .”

Xue Yan's "errand person" is naturally not an ordinary person.

It's just that the little master hadn't spoken yet, but Nangong Qu spoke sarcastically and deliberately mocked the extreme, "Who is too busy at night to come to Yizhuang to make trouble? Isn't this calling ghosts to go home!"

Xue He shook his fan and said a few words to chastise him, and then he defended himself: "The servant grew up in the mansion, rarely went out in the family compound, and his knowledge is shallow, Brother Nangong, please forgive me."

Querong glanced back, lifted his clothes and walked inside.

The moon was waning tonight, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, covering even the remaining brilliance.Not far away, a few willows stood in the broken ground, shaking due to the wind.

The strong wind blew the door open and closed, slamming against the wall, back and forth.Inside the room, the wooden coffin was covered with yellow gauze and black curtains, and a few crooked yellow talismans were pasted on the eaves of the door, which still couldn't suppress the gloomy air inside.

The four gathered at the gate of Yizhuang, looking at each other.

Querong couldn't figure it out. Chen Jialin, who was alive and kicking yesterday, was lying in a coffin in a blink of an eye.What's even more strange is that, as he said, why is it that the handsome young man who is as rich as an enemy is left in Yizhuang hastily.

"Master Chen loves Young Master Chen so much. He has been doting on him since he was a child. Why did he leave his body in the Yizhuang after death?" Que Rong said.

"Go in?" Looking back slightly, Xue He lightly raised his eyebrows and smiled at Querong inexplicably.After looking back and smiling, he wanted to take Xue Yan inside without waiting for the man to reply.

Xue Yan suddenly grabbed him, Xue He turned around, only to hear him mutter again: "Little master, don't be impulsive—"

"Don't be too wordy." Xue He glared at him, and abruptly forced back the words behind him.

Xue He took two steps forward, held a folding fan against his mouth and nose, and stretched out his hand to tear off the crooked yellow talismans on the door.The yellow talisman was old and tattered, and the cinnabar mark on it revealed a piercing scarlet in the dim moonlight.

Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew behind him, sending chills down his back.

Nangong Qu instinctively tidied up his clothes and tightened his neckline.This place was already full of gloom, but seeing Xue He tore up the evil-suppressing talisman instead, he couldn't help cursing: "It's so good, what are you doing tearing up other people's talisman!"

Querong glanced at it, but didn't move at all.

Xue He raised his eyebrows, held a folding fan, and pursed his red lips lightly, "This talisman is not a good thing."

"Hey! You..." Nangong Qu couldn't help but get more confused, still thinking about the theory of not giving up.

Que Rong stopped him, but said: "This is the strange talisman of suppressing evil house, the appearance of suppressing ghosts and monsters, it does not enter reincarnation. It is nothing if it is elsewhere, but this is Yizhuang."

"Mr. Xiao Lang is so knowledgeable!" Xue He thoughtfully praised.

"It's just a few words from hearsay, and I can't put it on the table." Querong turned her head in embarrassment, closed her mouth, and just looked at the torn yellow talisman on the ground.

The charm was lifted by the wind and floated a short distance on the ground.At first glance, it looks like he has grown feet.

The dignified Xue He pretended to glance casually at the swaying willows not far away, and greeted Xue Yan, "Stay and guard the door, you don't have to follow in."

Xue Yan's complexion was even worse, and he could only hold back all his dissatisfaction, and just hummed: "Little master has never let me go half a step before."

"Before, I didn't let you suffer any hardship!" Xue He glanced at him, motioning him to pay attention to the outside.

"Yes, the little one is not around to serve, so the little master should be more careful." Xue Yan said sourly, "If you get hurt, the slave can't afford it."

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look first." Xue He turned and left.

Seeing this, Querong suddenly grabbed his sleeve, "I'll be with you."

There was a trace of trembling hidden in the hasty tone, which mercilessly exposed the master's timidity, but was extremely firm and serious, like a child who was still trying to be brave.

Xue He listened and smiled, his whole brows and eyes stretched.

"What are you laughing at?" Querong didn't know why.

Xue He said: "It's nothing, just happy."

Because of you, I am so happy, I am so happy that I can't help but tell me how to hide this joy secretly.

Nangong Qu behind him was very vigilant. Looking at Xue He's eyes, he deliberately looked outside.Turning around and seeing this situation, he dragged Querong to his side and murmured, "Don't be afraid, little Que'er, I will protect you."

The house is in the shade, the sun is not visible, it is a place of yin and yin. As soon as the three of them took a step forward, they felt the cold air seeping through the ground.

There are dozens of large and small coffins in the room.In the human world, what mortals care about is to be buried in the ground.However, these people have coffins that cannot be buried in the ground, and they are not all homeless people.

Querong sized it up and asked, "Where is Chen Jialin's coffin?"

Looking around, Xue He just stared fixedly at the corner, and then stood in front of a pitch-black coffin that looked the same.

"Here," he said.
