Chapter 15
Early the next morning, Jin Xiangyi was awakened by a loud noise outside.

Although she is an immortal and does not need sleep like a human race, she still closed her eyes and took a nap.After the break, it was dawn, and a buzzing arguing was heard from the lobby of the inn.

Yu Xuanchi didn't know where she went, and she was the only one left in the room.

Jin Xiangyi tidied up a little and came to the lobby.The closer you got, the louder the voices of the people arguing inside:
"I said long ago that we should have relocated our family back then and left this hellish place. Now that it's alright, someone else is dead, what should we do!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your family moved, you said it lightly. If you leave here, you will abandon your ancestors and lose your roots! From now on, what face will we take to see our ancestors?"

"Bah, it's not that you died, your husband, of course you don't want to move! My son is the only one left in my family. If he follows an accident, I will be ashamed to see my ancestors!"

"Then go away, who stopped you?!"

"Okay, I'll take the gold and silver with me and leave immediately!"

The woman who promised to leave cried out, then lay on the headless corpse and cried bitterly:

"Xiang Gong, I told you a long time ago that Yanbo City is cursed, and we should leave early. Now, if you leave us dead, what can I do!—"

She cried sadly, her snot and tears all hanging on her face.

The shopkeeper sighed helplessly, then helped him up and persuaded: "I know my aunt is sad, but she should take care of herself. Think about your son, he still needs your care."

The woman wiped her face with the shopkeeper's handkerchief: "Can I not know this? But, but I am also panicked. The headless general is so powerful, who is his opponent? It'll be over!"

"No, there will be a way." The shopkeeper said, "Yesterday, I found two Immortal Chiefs to help me. They promised to let Yanbo City return to its peaceful life."

Some people questioned: "Xianchang? Oh, I said the shopkeeper, don't ask cultivators to help. In the past month, how many people have we invited? Didn't they all die in the headless general sword? Down?"

"Yeah. Killing people for nothing, alas."

The shopkeeper said: "No, the Immortal Chief invited this time is not an ordinary person. Last night, I saw the Immortal Chief cut down three headless generals with my own eyes. It can be seen that their strength is not ordinary?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? I don't know where Xianchang is now, can you please come and see him?"

The shopkeeper: "They..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone squeezed in outside the lobby.The person who came was wearing gray and white coarse cloth clothes, and the corners of the clothes were stained with a little dust and looked a little dirty.There was a wooden cart dragging behind him, and it was slanted at the door of the inn.

As the man walked in, he said, "I'm sorry, please make way, make way."

A group of women made way for him.

The shopkeeper: "It's Xu Zuozuo who is here."

Xu Yuzuo patted his sleeve and said, "I heard that another one died last night?" Even though his clothes didn't look very clean, his hair was neatly combed, and his face was clean and clear.

"Yes. Last night, I was fortunate to have a fairy to help, so no other innocent people were harmed." The shopkeeper said.

Xu Yanzuo asked curiously: "Oh? It seems that the rumor is true, and there are cultivators in the city. If they have some skills, it would be good to be able to deal with the headless general, but if they are no match for it... Sigh, but it's just plain enough to add a few more. Innocents."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "They do have some skills. I believe there will be a way to deal with the headless general."

Xu Yuzuo looked very surprised: "Really? That's the luck of Yanbo City."

He took a few steps forward, wanting to send the body away.But before that, the shopkeeper said, "Don't rush to transport the body, Xu Zuozuo, can you take a step to speak?"

Jin Xiangyi stood for a while in the backyard, and then bumped into Yu Xuanchi, who had returned from a trip.Jin Xiangyi noticed that his breath was a little chaotic, but it didn't look like he had used his mana. He speculated that the other party should have found an empty and quiet place to practice swordsmanship.

Kinka Yi knew that he had the habit of getting up in the morning to practice swords, so he didn't ask much.

At this time, the shopkeeper led Xu Zuozuo to the small courtyard. When he saw them, he said hello: "The two immortals are growing up. This is Xu Zuozuo."

Xu Yanzuo raised his eyes and looked at them a few times, and said, "This is what the shopkeeper said, a cultivator who can fight against a headless general?"

The shopkeeper: "Exactly."

While Xu Yuzuo was looking at Jin Xiangyi and others, Jin Xiangyi was also looking at him.

From yesterday to now, this is the first time they have seen in Yanbo City, the only man who is not afraid of being discovered by the Headless General.

He's also a dude, a dupe in charge of disposing of corpses.

Jin Xiangyi has always had something to say: "It is said that the men in Yanbo City are all afraid of the headless general, and they hide on weekdays, not even leaving the door, for fear of being caught by the headless general and beheaded.

"But Xu Yuzuo dared to walk in the sunshine like this, he must be very courageous."

Xu Yanzuo smiled and said, "As the saying goes, life and death are destiny, and wealth and honor are in heaven. A poor and lowly person like me can live every day, but I can't, and I don't force it."

Kinka moved back: "You are open-minded."

Both sides nodded and smiled.

Xu Yuzuo asked, "I don't know why you called me here?"

The shopkeeper said: "Last night, the two immortals went to Goubai Village to investigate, and found that in the tombs of the graves, all the corpses of the people who were chopped up were gone, so I want to ask you something about it."

Xu Zuozuo looked surprised: "What, the body is gone?"

His eyes widened slightly, and he said incredulously: "Impossible, those corpses were buried with my own hands, how could they disappear! It must be the immortal chief who misunderstood."

Yu Xuanchi said: "But inside the tomb, there really is no body."

His voice was low, as if there was a kind of power that calmed people down invisibly:

"We suspect that most of the headless generals that appeared in the city were transformed by those corpses. Therefore, I would like to ask you, what was the difference between the corpses that were chopped and killed when they were buried?"

Jin Xiangyi then said: "You have been watching over Goubai Village. Have you found anything wrong on the tomb hill since this time?"

Xu Yanzuo frowned and thought deeply, and said, "I will not betray the two. Goubai Village is no different from Tomb Mountain. You all know that people in Yanbo City who died because of the headless general will be sent to Goubai Village. When the funeral auspicious day arrives, he will be buried.

He said: "From the time the corpse was sent to Goubai Village and then to the burial, I kept it safely in the village, and there was no accident. On the day of the burial, the people in the city were all there, and I never saw the corpse disappear. No, let alone becoming a headless general demanding his life."

"So I think it must be the two of you who made a mistake in their judgment. There is absolutely no possibility that the headless general was transformed by the corpses of the common people." Xu Zuozuo said bluntly.

Jin Xiangyi frowned slightly, a face wrinkled.Facing Xu Yuzuo's questioning, she felt a little unhappy in her heart.

The inference about the headless general has not been confirmed yet. How could he be so certain?
Yu Xuanchi didn't have any special reaction, but said, "We are just making a conjecture, and we still need evidence to prove it."

"Then let's wait until you find the evidence." Xu Zuozuo smiled and said, "If there is nothing else, I will not disturb the two of you to investigate. I still need to transport the body away, so I will say goodbye first."

The shopkeeper sent him out: "Xu Zuozuo walk slowly."

After that, Su Xinling also came over.She glanced at the direction where the shopkeeper was leaving and asked, "Has the Master asked Zu Zuo, what did he say?"

Yu Xuanchi sat down and tapped his fingers on the stone table a few times. Jun Yi's face was rarely solemn.

He said, "This Xu Zuozuo..."

Jin Xiangyi puffed up her face and said, "He has a problem, there must be a problem!"
