strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 21 [Spiritualization Demon]

"who am I?"

The girl's body seemed to tremble.

There seemed to be some panic in her eyes, and her tone became hesitant, and it took a long time before she timidly replied: "I, I, I am Yunniang."

Zhang Jingxu smiled slightly, and said unexpectedly, "I didn't ask your name, what I asked was your background. Girl, if you didn't hear clearly, then Zhang can ask again."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone noticed that the girl's body trembled again.

Li San was smart and smart, and immediately cooperated with Zhang Jingxu's probing, pretending to sternly shout: "Could it be you who harmed people, you are the evil spirit!"

"No, no..."

Yunniang exclaimed, her little face turned pale with fright.

Relying on Zhang Jingxu's backing, Li San continued to drink while pretending to be a tiger, and said fiercely: "Do you really think we didn't see it? In fact, you are not a normal person! The little scholar is certainly a ghost, and you appeared in his house...so , you are also a ghost!"

This is the method of the people in the public sect. Regardless of whether it is true or not, they will knock the mountain and shake the tiger first, and even put on a big hat deliberately, so as to observe and test the suspect.

Those who are good at do what they are good at.

This has always been Zhang Jingxu's code of conduct, that's why he brought the yamen servants to investigate the case.

For example, when targeting young scholars before, Zhang Jingxu asked Li San to test, while he observed from the sidelines and cooperated with each other tacitly.

But this time was very strange, Zhang Jingxu didn't seem to intend to do this, and even waved his hand to Li San specifically, signaling Li San to step back first and not get involved.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jingxu looked at Yunniang again, as if he hesitated to speak, but also seemed to be full of emotion.

Suddenly he sighed slightly, spoke with deep meaning, and said leisurely: "Scholars study at night, and spirit demons come to accompany them. According to legend, if the ordinary things in this world are absorbed by people, they will gradually be contaminated with spirituality and can turn into demons. It is called a spirit demon, it is naturally kind..."

"Miss Yunniang, you are such a spirit demon, aren't you?"

Zhang Jingxu said, Wei Wei sighed again, and continued: "Actually, whether you answer or not, I have already guessed your identity."

"When you were telling about the little scholar's past, you inadvertently revealed your own background."

"At that time you told us that although he studied hard, he didn't really like reading. What he really likes to do is a craft of carving..."

When Zhang Jingxu said this, his eyes showed a touch of softness. He looked at the flustered Yunniang, and smiled warmly: "Miss Yunniang, why don't you let me tell your story."

"That year, a young scholar carved a girl!"

"Maybe it's because his family is poor and he thinks that he is doomed to not be able to marry a wife, or maybe it's because he was yearning for it when he was studying, so he wanted to show all his beautiful thoughts about slim girls... In short, no matter what the reason is, He poured his heart and soul into the sculpting of the maiden."

"The material of this girl statue is a piece of ordinary tofu."

"She was formed because of the beautiful yearning of the scholar, and she was poured into the heart of the scholar, and in the days after that, she was placed on the desk every night to accompany the scholar."

"Every night, the scholar is studying hard."

"Although his family is poor, he is determined to make progress, and a person who is determined to make progress will breed aura when he is studying."

"This kind of aura is not the aura of heaven and earth, but the aura of the scholar himself. We often say that learning makes people have gods, and this god does not refer to the gods, but the charm of the scholars themselves."

"The little scholar studies hard and studies hard. He is both smart and charming. When he reads every night, the tofu statue accompanying him will be contaminated with spiritual energy. Over the years, the statue gradually breeds spirituality..."

"Finally one day, she turned into a demon."

"Because of all the beautiful aspirations of a scholar, she is tainted with the aura and charm of a scholar to transform into a demon, so she is born to be kind, and she is a rare kind demon."

"Since then, poor scholars have relied on them. When they are working, they will be helped, and when they are studying, they will be accompanied by red sleeves."

"He is more and more confident and ready to take the imperial examination."

"However, it is a pity that things in life do not go as planned in all likelihood. Just when the little scholar was full of confidence, he was beaten to death in this well..."

"Unreconciled with obsession, turned into a ghost!"

"But because he was too kind and unwilling to take revenge on the people in the village, he chose to forget when he transformed into a ghost."

"He doesn't remember being beaten to death and thinks he's still human."

"He is still motivated and yearns for a better future. After he successfully passed the imperial examination, he wants to change the lives of poor villagers."

"However, it is a pity that there is a change in the village!"

"For five consecutive days, one person died every day. However, after the yamen sent someone to conduct an inspection, it was determined that these people all died normally..."

"However, how could this be a normal death!"

"Even if it's a coincidence, it's impossible for people to die for five consecutive days, right? Besides, these five dead people are all labored by strong men, and they are said to be the strongest men in the whole village..."

"So, it's doubtful."

"In addition, the yamen servants told me that they found something unusual. There were traces of tofu in the mouths of these dead people. Obviously, they all experienced the same thing before they died..."

"They all ate tofu before they died!"

When Zhang Jingxu said this, he suddenly sighed meaningfully, and said, "It's not surprising that one person died, and it's not surprising that two people died. But five people died in a row, and everyone ate tofu, this is no longer normal." , This is the art of harming people."

"From this I thought, when you were at the little scholar's home, the moment you appeared beside the desk, Miss Yunniang, there was a steaming bowl of tofu on the desk..."

"We had been in the house for quite a while at that time, and the yamen servants had searched the house long ago, and with the shrewdness of their public servants, it was impossible to ignore a bowl of steaming tofu..."

"But why didn't they pay attention to the bowl of tofu in the first place?"

"The reason is very simple, because this bowl of tofu appeared out of thin air!"

"And the time when this bowl of tofu appeared out of nowhere was exactly the moment when Yunniang Gu Nian you showed up..."

Zhang Jingxu's long-winded speech was endless and continuous, and finally his eyes stopped, and his eyes looked at the girl in front of him again.

"Miss Yunniang, you are the one who is hurting people, right?"

"Although you are a born kind spirit demon, although you were transformed by the little scholar's beauty, but when you see the little scholar died of injustice, especially when you were beaten to death by the people he wanted to save the suffering..."

"You're angry, you're taking revenge!"

Zhang Jingxu paused almost every word, and slowly expressed his conclusion.

At this time, Yun Niang seemed to have a sad smile on her face, and she didn't make any rebuttals. Instead, she sighed softly and said sadly: "It's me, everything is me. Those five people in the village were all killed by me." dead."

The yamen servants present were dumbfounded, and they all felt incredible.

Immediately, all of them looked at Zhang Jingxu with admiration on their faces. With such a shrewd and capable leader, why should everyone worry about not being able to succeed in the future?

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Jingxu's face didn't seem to be happy, but actually frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, Zhang Jingxu spoke again, and said slowly: "There is still a little doubt now, which makes Zhang feel that this matter is still a secret. Miss Yunniang, you are just a spirit demon, and it is impossible to harm anyone at all. The ability to..."

"So, can you tell me what method you used when you harmed people, and how to make the villagers obey you obediently."

After asking this question, Yun Niang seemed to have no hesitation, although her face was still miserable, she seemed to let out a sneer on purpose:
"Do you need a means to harm someone? How stupid are those villagers!"

"I just need to softly call out big brother, and they will obediently eat tofu..."

"Sir, you should kill me. Now close the case and let Brother Sun Yun go, okay?"

However, Zhang Jingxu's face darkened, and he said with piercing eyes: "No, you are lying. A spirit monster like you is transformed by kindness. Even if you want to harm people wholeheartedly, it is impossible for you to do harm to others." ..."

"For example, why can the tofu eaten by the villagers kill them? If you made this tofu, it would only contain the aura of spirits and demons. Not only will it not harm people, but it will benefit them."

"Therefore, Zhang deduced that the tofu eaten by the villagers did not come from you. And even if you really harmed the villagers, it was by no means your own power... You are just a kind spirit demon, and you are not born with this kind of power. ability."

"So, Miss Yunniang, can you really tell me who is hiding in the dark to help you and hurt others?"

The servants present were all dumbfounded.

They thought just now that this matter could finally be closed, but after hearing Zhang Jingxu's speculation, they suddenly felt that this matter was still confusing.

If Miss Yunniang didn't have the power to harm others, then who helped her kill the villagers?
Could it be that there is another evil ghost in this Sun Family Village...
