Liao Zhai Zi is silent

Chapter 67 People can't live without a heart, and ghosts can't escape without a heart

That boy was Ren Hongyou, the son of rich man Ren who died many years ago.

Lin Zhuming asked: "Why did you rise up because of you? Could it be that the rich man is telling the truth?"

But he saw this young scholar in a long gown walking out of the temple, exactly like the clay sculpture.

However, Lin Zhuming's inspiration was very high. As soon as this young man came out, he felt very uncomfortable, and he was an old ghost.

Even Xu Biao held the firecracker in his hand, ready to shoot at any time.

"Can a dead person be brought back to life?" Ren Hongyou asked.

It depends on what kind of world it is. Anyway, in the world of Liao Zhai, resurrection is not difficult.

"No." Lin Zhuming said directly: "Unless he didn't die at all."

"That's right, a broken mirror cannot be put back together, it can't be taken back if it's covered with water, and a dead person can't be brought back to life."

Ren Hongyou said: "That year when I was rushing to the village examination, I stayed in a deserted temple. My heart and liver were eaten by demons, and the remains were brought back by fellow villagers. My father was unwilling to accept the news that I had passed away..."

"What monster ate your heart, and where did you sleep in a deserted temple?" Lin Zhuming asked with some guesswork.

It can't be... Lanruo Temple.

"I don't want to mention this matter anymore." Ren Hongyou covered his heart.

"At that time, a quack warlock happened to come and called me Wenqu Xiaxia, but I failed to survive the catastrophe, and said that I can live by changing my heart."

Lin Zhuming had a look of disbelief.

"This heart is not human heart, but the heart of God, and the heart of Wenqu."

"Pretend to be dirty." Lin Zhuoming immediately understood the deep meaning.

"That's right, it's exactly this method, so my father built a temple for me and enshrined the golden body. He didn't hesitate to invite the Wenchang Pagoda of the Wenchang Emperor's Temple to pretend to be dirty for me, to make up for my lost heart."

"Waiting for Qiqi 49th, but I haven't been resurrected yet. The warlock said that it was a problem with our family's feng shui pattern, which caused my resurrection to fail. Now it is impossible to revive. The only way is to let me reincarnate into my family..."

"Later, my father took a concubine in order to conceive a fetus, so that I could seize the house and live another life."

"But I studied by myself, understood etiquette and righteousness, and I couldn't bear it, so I couldn't take it away."

Lin Zhuming: You don't know where the etiquette goes. If you really understand etiquette, you should persuade your father not to do these unconscionable things.

"This matter has become my father's obsession, but he also suspected that the charlatan is a liar, but the warlock said that our family's destiny is not enough, and the good fortune is not enough... So he introduced my father to the strange man Fourth Master Yuan."

Fourth Master Yuan, a very familiar name.

"Yuan Siye has a wide network of contacts, and introduced Zhang Jiuyi's apprentice, Chen Xiangrong, to my family."

Both of you, father and son, don’t tell stories with the counterpart’s confession, two people have two statements.

What is nonsense, this is called nonsense, Lin Zhuming can't believe a word.

"The method of planting the foundation is a scam. The Fourth Master Yuan conspired to take away my Ren's family business. Unfortunately, my father was obsessed with his obsession...even my younger brother was killed."

It can explain a little bit why this deadly feng shui pattern was made.

But completely put himself in the perspective of the victim, but what he did was such a conscienceless thing, or was he clearing himself of the crime?
Lin Zhuming said: Just listen to the story, if you really believe it, you will be taken advantage of.

However, when the sound of Sanqing's bell came from a distance, Ren Hongyou covered his heart with a distressed expression.

The clothes on his body were broken, and he turned into a ghost wearing a red robe of the number one scholar, but there was a big hole in his chest. He couldn't see any beasts, and he didn't know how many officials he was. His eyes were all black, and he held a book in his left hand. Hold a pen in your right hand.

When he transformed, Xu Biao told Lin Zhuoming to leave quickly.

Seeing the transformed ghost, Lin Zhuming decisively returned to the room and closed the door tightly.

The big ghost didn't know if he was an inspector and judge, but he patrolled Ren's mansion.

The red-robed ghost, who was much taller, seemed to follow Lin Zhuoming.

There was the sound of calm breathing, even footsteps, knocking on the door.

At this time, the other five ghosts also came back: "That ghost has become a climate, no, he pretended to be dirty, he belongs to the stream of ghosts and gods, not just a ghost, we brothers probably can't deal with it."

Xu Biao said to Lin Zhuming, "My lord, you should leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible."

Lin Zhuming also wanted to leave.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but the guards guarding the door didn't feel it at all.

But the footsteps stopped abruptly when they approached Lin Zhuoming, as if attracted by something, they went to another place.

"Hollow Ghost"

A heartless man cannot live.

What about the heartless ghost?
Thinking about it, Lin Zhuming still carried the sword and followed the hollow ghost.

The hollow ghost seemed to be summoned by someone, and kept going to a place, completely ignoring Lin Zhuming who was following him.

And the indistinct sound of the Sanqing bell also made Lin Zhuming feel very strange.

"My lord, I'll just go and check it out, don't put yourself in danger!" Xu Biao advised.

Lin Zhuming nodded: "You should also be careful."

After a while, Xu Biao returned to report the situation to Lin Zhuoming: "It is Rich Ren who is summoning the soul."

"Rich Lord Ren is obviously not a cultivator, so the bell is under control." Lin Zhuoming thought to himself: "Can you get the bell?"

Xu Biao shook his head: "Although the bell is an evil weapon, it can control the soul itself. It is the best way to restrain us. It can only be taken by living people."

"Why did the rich man recruit this hollow ghost?" Lin Zhuoming asked, "Did you hear clearly?"

"It is to assist rich man Ren to control the evil spirits that have just entered the mansion today."

Lin Zhuming took Taoist Zhao's canopy ruler and asked: "With this, can you fight him?"

Xu Biao was a little afraid of this magic weapon, but he looked at the firecracker in his hand and asked, "How sure is my lord?"

"Thirty percent." Lin Zhuming said.

"Thirty percent is a lot, let's do it." Xu Biao said: "We are protecting the lord."

Lin Zhuming nodded, picked up his sword, and walked out at night.

Seeing this, Xu Biao opened his mouth and said to his brothers: I thought he was an indecisive person at first, but he is also a real man if he doesn't think so.

But as soon as Lin Zhuming went out, two thugs tried to stop Lin Zhuming: "Master Lin, it's already late at night, so you should have a good rest and don't move around."

Unexpectedly, when Lin Zhuoming struck with his sword, he chopped off half of his arm. The other person reacted immediately and went straight to Lin Zhuming's face, but he was extinguished by Li Hu, and half of his arm was already paralyzed. The movement was very sluggish, and Lin Zhuoming quickly caught the flaw, cut off with a sword, and half of his arm was also cut off.

The sword is a weapon for assassination, as long as it is not stabbed, generally it cannot kill people.

But if they are not treated in time, they will bleed to death.

Lin Zhuming stepped over them and ran away without blood staining his body.

But there, rich man Ren recruited his eldest son, but he said with a smile: "Hongyou, look, I asked your younger brother to accompany you. Our Ren family will soon flourish, thanks to your efforts and mine." , will not be in vain..."
