I have a book of ghosts and gods

Chapter 174

On the note that Mu Mutong gave him, it was written the whereabouts of the ghost cultivator.

A place called Wuliyi.

When Huanmengshen was rushing to Wuliyi, Jiang Zhou himself was not idle. He ran to Zangshu Pavilion to find information about Wuliyi.

Without much effort, he found this place from a county chronicle.

Wuliyi is very close to Shannan County.

It's not a special place either. It used to be an official post a long time ago.

However, it was abandoned more than ten years ago because of the Shannan Rebellion.

After so many years, even though the official road has been reopened, the five-mile station has not been restored.

That place is not too close, Huanmengshen's lightness kung fu is superb, under full use, it is faster than a galloping horse.

We set off early in the morning, and when we arrived at Wuliyi, it was already evening.

"Jiangzhou" is next to the official road, and found an old stone tablet covered by weeds and entwined with vines
Surrounded by barren mountains and wild forests, even on the official road, there are many waist-length weeds.

Obviously, very few people would go this route.

Not far away, there is a three-story wooden building that occupies a large area.

Most of the surrounding walls have collapsed, exposing the overgrown weeds and shrubs inside.

A road was cleared in the middle, leading directly to the post building.

It is probably because there are occasional people who pass by here to board here, stepping back and forth, leaving such a path.

"Jiang Zhou" guessed.

After all, the main body of the post building is still intact, but many doors and windows have fallen off.

Much better than sleeping in the wilderness.

Among the weeds and bushes, there is also a tall old locust tree surrounded by several people.

He looks crooked, like a crooked old man who is dying.

The cleared trail just passed the old pagoda tree.

The dilapidated appearance of the post building looked a little eerie and strange under the dark sky.

From time to time, strange calls of unknown birds and beasts could be heard.

If this place appeared in a movie, it would definitely be a ghost movie.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is unlikely that a living person will live in such a place.

But what he was looking for was a ghost cultivator, so it was not surprising that he would stay in this kind of place.

It's just that the ghost cultivator is really in this kind of place?
Even if there are few people here, it is not that no one comes.

He, a ghost who was hunted down by Su Jingsi and Chenghuang Temple at the same time, is so courageous?
Mu Mutong only gave him this address and no more information.

"Jiang Zhou" couldn't help feeling suspicious.

This brat, couldn't really have lied to him, could he?

Lin Shushu also reminded him at the time that as a person, he should not be aimless.

The left and right are also here, so let's see what happened first.

"Jiang Zhou" thought for a while, then stepped on the thick blades of grass and walked in.

When passing the old locust tree, he found some rotten offerings under the tree roots.

There is also a thick layer of dust.

Can't help but look at this old locust tree.

I am afraid that someone often worships here.

I don't know if it is the dead who worshiped, or this old locust tree?

Temporarily put aside these thoughts, and walked into the post building.

The first thing I saw was a spacious hall, the inside looked dilapidated than the outside.

There are cobweb dust everywhere, broken tables and chairs, and scattered fragments of various cups, bowls and other utensils.

There is a staircase in the middle, which is quite well preserved.

"Jiang Zhou" stepped up the stairs and slowly checked every room in the post building.

Except for rat ants and snakes, no moving things were found.

"Smelly brat, have you really been deceived?"

"Jiang Zhou" returned to the hall on the first floor and couldn't help gritting his teeth and talking to himself.

"In front is the Wuli Post House!"

"Hurry up! It's getting late, I can't go anymore, I'm staying here for one night today!"

At this moment, the sound of human voice came along with the sound of messy footsteps.

"This broken place can also be called a post house? Can people live there?"

"No matter what, there is a tile to cover your body, or you are going to sleep outside?"

"Stop talking nonsense, move all the goods in quickly, depending on the weather, it might rain in the middle of the night, but don't get wet."

The human voice was getting closer and closer, and soon it was outside the post house.

"Huh? Someone?"

The first person to come in was a middle-aged man. Although he was full of travel and dust, the clothes he was wearing were made of high-quality materials, and he was obviously wealthy.

Reminiscent of what I heard just now, "Jiang Zhou" is probably a passing merchant.

Today's Daji is peaceful on the surface, but it is in the county, country and city.

In other places, there are not robbers and beasts, but demons and goblins. It is not peaceful at all.

Ordinary people rarely dare to travel far.

This also gave birth to many peddlers.

Most of these people are courageous and not afraid of death, and they must have some martial arts.

The man clasped his fists and said: "Brother, I am a merchant from Chengzhou, passing by here, and bothering you."

"Jiang Zhou" said with a smile: "I am also a passer-by, so why bother if I take this place to cover myself?"

"Haha, we are all away from home. We should take care of each other. Since we met here by fate, if you need anything, brother, just say hello."

The middle-aged man smiled heartily, and then he didn't bother to talk to "Jiang Zhou".

Turning around, he directed his companions to move boxes of goods into the hall.

There were about twenty people, and the goods moved in filled a corner of the hall.

"Father! This place looks like the haunted barren mountain temples and guest houses mentioned in the storybook. Do you think there are really ghosts haunting it?"

A young girl in bright clothes emerged from the crowd, pulling the middle-aged man excitedly.

"Bah! Nonsense!"

The middle-aged man spat, and clasped his fists in all directions: "Children are ignorant, so don't blame them, don't blame them!"

"Ling'er! How many times has my father told you? Don't talk nonsense when you are out of the house!"

"Oh……"

The girl was scolded, and she pouted slightly in displeasure.

Although it became quiet, a pair of dark eyes were wandering around, looking restless.

Seeing "Jiang Zhou" in the hall, his eyes lit up slightly.

He pulled the middle-aged man again and said, "Father, this man is so handsome."

The middle-aged man froze, glared at her, and then looked at "Jiang Zhou" embarrassedly: "My little girl is ignorant, brother and sister."

"Jiang Zhou" just smiled: "It's okay."

The woman was reprimanded, but she was still floating around "Jiang Zhou" with her eyes.

It made the middle-aged people feel ashamed, but at the same time, they also faintly showed some defensiveness.

He also didn't expect to meet a young master with such an outstanding appearance in such a barren place.

It's just a fall, but you must not let someone abduct your own daughter.

"Jiang Zhou" is now dressed in a white robe, looks refined, and his real appearance is also very outstanding, which is especially noticeable in this environment.

"Boss, there are quite a few rooms above that can still be lived in. Let's clean up a few of them, and you and the young lady will be wronged for one night."

After a while, a well-dressed man with a knife on his waist came down from upstairs and said to the middle-aged man.

"Okay, you can also take your brothers to the room to rest, just leave a part of the staff here."

The middle-aged man said, nodded to "Jiang Zhou", and dragged the somewhat reluctant girl upstairs.

The man with the knife swept over "Jiangzhou" with a slightly wary look, and went to arrange for the others to rest.

"Jiang Zhou" didn't care about them.

I found a clean corner in the hall and sat on the floor.

Although he already suspected that he was cheated by that Mumutong, he didn't intend to leave just yet.

Stay here for one night for the time being, and tomorrow I will go to the vicinity to inquire about it to see if there is any useful news.

He had a premonition that something would happen in the posthouse tonight.

The barren mountain guest house, boarding for pedestrians, midnight...

This is the beginning of a classic ghost movie.

"Jiang Zhou" grumbled secretly in his heart.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, he heard a scream from upstairs...
