strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 20 [Who are you]

When the little scholar had evil thoughts, did he take revenge on the common people?

In fact, this is just another way of saying it, and the question is still the one just now.If the little scholar took revenge on the people, it means that he has harmed people.

And once this matter is confirmed, the investigation will come to an end. Only by clarifying the truth can we decide how to solve it...

It's killing!

Yes stay!

How to kill?

How to stay!
After all, the situation of the little scholar is unusual. When he has evil thoughts, his hostility is too heavy, ten times more than that of Zhang Gui, and it is definitely at the level of a fierce ghost.

Such a ghost, if it harms people, can wipe out a village in a very short time, and tens of hundreds of people will die in vain.

If this is the case, you must not let it go, no matter how fierce the little scholar is, you must find a way to get rid of him.

But what if the little scholar didn't harm anyone?
Can you keep him after finding out!
Although in this world, as long as there is merit in exterminating ghosts, Zhang Jingxu discovered another way...

For example, on the night when he crossed over, he used the method of collecting Zhang Gui's bones and returning them to the village. It was able to dispel the fog, and it also had merit from heaven.

This means that Zhang Jingxu has two completely different choices when dealing with ghosts, and no matter which choice he makes, he can earn merit from heaven.

Under this premise, it is particularly important to distinguish between good and evil ghosts, neither can an evil ghost be let go, but a good ghost cannot be killed by mistake.

Therefore, Zhang Jingxu was very cautious.

That's why he kept asking Yunniang...

……

But facing Zhang Jingxu's burning gaze, Yunniang seemed a little abnormal at this moment.

But seeing this pretty girl standing by the well under the dark night, her face was faintly sad, but more panic.

Suddenly she made a 'plop' and knelt down directly.

"Sir, please, can you spare him? Brother Sun Yun is really pitiful!"

With her begging, Zhang Jingxu's heart skipped a beat.

He frowned subconsciously, and asked in a deep voice: "Looking at your panicked reaction, can I understand that Sun Yun really took revenge on the people, and he has already killed people in the village? Right?"

Unexpectedly, Yunniang waved her hands anxiously, and tried her best to explain: "No, no, he didn't harm anyone, he never harmed anyone."

Zhang Jingxu frowned even more: "Since he never harmed anyone, why did you react so much that you knelt on the ground and begged me despite the fact that the well was wet..."

He paused slightly while speaking, and said again in a deep voice: "It's hard for me not to feel strange when you act like you. Obviously you know that he has done evil, so you are so nervous."

"No, no, no..." Yun Niang was even more anxious, she was about to cry, she waved her hands desperately, and kept begging: "He didn't do evil, he didn't harm anyone, I beg you, sir, please forgive him Bar."

Zhang Jingxu suddenly stopped drinking: "Then let me ask you, why did you do this? Since he never did evil, why do you need to kneel down and beg me?"

Yunniang let out an 'ah', and looked up at Zhang Jingxu, her delicate face was full of tenderness, and she said weakly: "I...I am afraid that you will kill him..."

Zhang Jingxu was startled, and asked in amazement: "Just because of this? Is there no other reason?"

"Yes, yes, and that's all!"

Yun Niang nodded again and again, her voice became weaker, and she hurriedly explained: "I have been studying with him for the past few years, and I have heard him talk about many things in this world. Gained a lot of insight!"

"He told me that there is a kind of cultivator in this world who worships the gods to gain power. It is said that they like to cast down demons and eliminate demons, especially like killing ghosts the most."

"As long as they see ghosts, they will show no mercy, regardless of whether they are good or evil, they will kill them all."

"He also told me that these people have great power. They come from a place called Shenjuan Mansion. When they exterminate demons and ghosts, even the government can be transferred."

When Yunniang said this, she glanced at Zhang Jingxu timidly, and said: "The reason why the little girl knelt down and begged was because she saw that you were wearing a public uniform, and you also had a magical grass in your hand, which radiated from time to time. The power that makes my heart palpitate..."

"So, so..." The girl lowered her head weakly, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid you will kill him."

It turned out to be because of this!

Zhang Jingxu let out a breath slowly, feeling a little dumbfounded.

Only Yunniang said timidly: "Sir, I beg you, little girl, brother Sun Yun is very pitiful, can you spare him?"

Such a pretty girl, who is soft and weak, can easily make people feel sorry for her and arouse sympathy for the weak.

However, Zhang Jingxu did not immediately agree.

Instead, he stared at Yunniang with burning eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Although you have explained so much, you have not answered me directly from the beginning to the end. Is he harmful to others, is he good and evil? You have to Tell me some evidence so that I can make a judgment..."

He paused slightly while speaking, and said solemnly: "I can tell you clearly that I am not from the Shenjuan Mansion, and I have my own set of rules of conduct. I will not exorcise demons and ghosts for no reason."

He stopped talking again, looked at Yun Niang with a gentle tone, and said, "If you can give some evidence that Sun Yun, a ghost scholar, has never done anything evil, then you don't have to ask me to spare him... because I don't know what to do. Won't do it."

Yunniang let out an 'Ah' at first, and then her expression changed to one of incomparable surprise.

The girl almost didn't even think about it, and hurriedly said: "I have evidence, I have evidence. Brother Sun Yun, he didn't harm anyone, because he didn't know that he was a ghost."

Didn't even know he was a ghost?
In other words, the little scholar didn't know that he was dead.

Zhang Jingxu's heart moved, and she secretly said: "Sure enough, my guess is not wrong."

He had doubts before, and felt that the situation of the little scholar was very strange, and he was obviously haunted by ghosts, but the little scholar himself seemed to be unknown.

It seems that in the cognition of this young ghost, he is still the motivated scholar who hopes to change poverty through reading and lead the people in the village to live a better life.

In this strange state, the little scholar didn't realize that he was a ghost, and since he didn't know that he was a ghost, he naturally couldn't use ghosts to harm others.

But why did the little scholar become like this?

Zhang Jingxu looked at Yunniang and asked her new doubts.

However, this time, Yunniang also seemed to be at a loss, she shook her head lightly and said, "I don't know about your question, I have very little knowledge, so I can't answer you."

Zhang Jingxu pondered for a while, and said slowly: "In this case, tell me about what happened after his death. Maybe after listening, I might be able to find out the reason."

"Okay! I'll tell you now!" Yun Niang nodded repeatedly, wiped her tears with her hand, and said, "As long as you can prove Brother Sun Yun, the little girl will cooperate in everything..."

Zhang Jingxu comforted her with a gentle voice, and said softly, "Get up first, and talk while standing up. There are potholes next to the well, and it's not appropriate for you to kneel."

Next to him, Li San immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pull Yunniang up, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, we are the most kind-hearted captors."

Yunniang nodded timidly, stood up and shrank beside the well.

She sighed faintly, and began to tell about the little scholar.

"That night, he was beaten to death here, but for some reason, he didn't seem to know it."

"He seems to have forgotten that he was beaten to death, and only remembers that he came to the well to fetch beans."

"After returning home, he even told me excitedly that he would study harder and prepare to take the scientific examination next year."

"But I could tell at a glance that it was only his ghost that came home."

At this point, Yunniang sighed again, and said softly: "Although I can see that he is a ghost, but I can't bear to tell him the truth, I can only help him work as usual, pretending to be happy... "

"In the days that followed, I gradually felt that the aura on his body was getting stronger and stronger day by day, and the speed of his rapid development was frightening."

"And from a certain day, his breath suddenly became more hostile."

"The growth rate of that hostility is even more terrifying, and it quickly evolved into a powerful evil thought, but for some reason, he himself has never been able to detect it."

"Evil thoughts are in the body, you can't detect it."

"So even though this evil intention is getting stronger and stronger, he has never done anything vicious."

"On the contrary, it's the same as before, that shy boy. He studies hard every night, looking forward to taking the imperial examination."

When Yunniang said this, she looked at Zhang Jingxu and said timidly, "Sir, this is everything after his death. The little girl didn't lie, everything she said is the truth."

Zhang Jingxu nodded, he could hear that Yunniang's tone did not seem to be fake.

Especially the look of reminiscence on her face, and the tenderness in her eyes when she was caught in remembrance, all can be deduced that this girl is indeed not lying.

It can also be concluded from this that Xiaoshu never harmed anyone after his death. Although his hostility was as strong as a fierce ghost, he did not know it from the beginning to the end.

On the contrary, it was the same as before, the young man who wanted to study and improve himself.

Looking forward to taking the imperial examination...

Want to change the poverty of the villagers...

……

"Obstinence!"

Zhang Jingxu spit out two words slowly!

He had a faint understanding, and guessed why the little scholar's situation was special.

This young man once said that he was paranoid since he was a child, and he wanted to change the poverty in the village so much that he still couldn't forget to turn into a ghost after his death.

Even because of this strong obsession, he didn't care about the fact that he was beaten to death by the villagers. He probably chose to forget it on purpose at the moment of death, so as to ensure that he would not harm the villagers after he became a ghost.

What a kind boy this is.

Zhang Jingxu let out a deep breath, but felt that his chest was oppressed.

Good boy!
The villagers are ruthless!
A man who wanted to save the poor was beaten to death by a group of people who he wanted to save.

This strong contrast made Zhang Jingxu angry.

But he can't be angry yet, he has to forcefully suppress it...

The reason is very simple, the case of the serial death in Sunjiazhuang is not over yet.

The little scholar, a good ghost, has already confirmed that he did not harm anyone, so who is the real one?
Zhang Jingxu's eyes were burning, and he suddenly looked at the girl Yunniang.

"Girl, who are you?"

He was outspoken and asked direct questions.
