Chapter 521: Chatting
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Yu Sheng was woken up by the bustle outside.
Yesterday, after Old Man Wen recognized the city lord, he thanked him with sincere fear, and they returned to the city lord's mansion along the bustling crowd.
Yu Sheng lay on the bed and didn't want to get up, until the girl sent him to call him, Yu Sheng got up and put on a brocade robe.
The Eight Yonglou was very lively, and when I went in for the rest of my life, I found that many people with heads and faces in the city had come to pay respects to the city lord.
Zhou Dafu and Zhou Jiuzhang followed behind a powerful middle-aged man, this man was very tall, with long horizontal flesh on his face, and he was extremely majestic, so that the rest of his life consciously stayed away.
After Zhou Dafu saw Yu Sheng, he ran over as if fleeing, bowed to Yu Sheng, and said words of blessing, and Zhou Jiuzhang followed suit.
"What about Sister Feng?" Yu Sheng looked at it, there were many people in the lobby, the Chu Ci brothers followed behind their parents honestly, and Zhuang Zisheng was pulled by Zhuangzi to entertain.
The most striking thing is the Bu Ju family, many people are talking around Bu Xiaomei, listening to Zhou Jiuzhang say that now the people who pursue Bu Xiaomei can line up from the north gate to the south city gate.
Yu Sheng was just about to retract his gaze, when a hunchbacked old man entered his face, and he didn't expect that the Witch Courtyard Desolate had also come to the City Lord's Mansion early in the morning to pay respects.
Jin Yiwei was in a hurry and called her away when he went out. Zhou Dafu waved his hand, "Shopkeeper Yu, I heard that you did a good job of chicken last night, when did you ......?"
"Go, go", the rest of his life kicked Zhou Dafu away, "What is a chicken that is doing well." ”
"That's it, how do you speak, Yu Shopkeeper Chicken has done a good job. Zhou Jiuzhang said beside him.
Before Yu Sheng could speak, the man with a meaty face came over and slapped them away from left to right, "How can you talk to Lord Yu, it's not big or small." ”
He bowed his hand to Yu Sheng, "Lord Yu, happy New Year, these two bastards are not sensible, don't see him." ”
Yu Sheng had never been spoken so politely by others, and just as he was about to give up his hand to reply, the hunchbacked desolate man walked over to Yu Sheng.
"Shopkeeper Yu, the old man has come to pay you a New Year's greeting. The hunchbacked old man bowed.
"Don't dare, don't dare, we're far apart in age. Yu Sheng hurried to stop him, but was sensitively avoided by the absurd.
"Why don't you dare, in terms of seniority, all of you here are your juniors. The barren man hunched his back and said respectfully to the rest of his life.
For the rest of his life, he remembered that the infant boy in his previous life was enough to be his grandfather, and suddenly found that being the son of the king of the Eastern Wilderness was still very beneficial in terms of generation.
The four desolate kings are all characters who don't know their age, and in the creation myth of the ancient giants of Pangu who opened the world before the heaven and the earth were divided and chaotic, the four of them already existed.
Speaking of which, looking around for the rest of his life, he was much older than these people.
The girl came out at this time, she was dressed in a white dress, with intricate patterns on her chest, and a peony flower composed of a sword on a closer look.
Outside of the gorgeous clothes, he wore a robe made of fox fur and dragged it on the ground.
The girl combed a peony flower updo on her head, which set off her noble temperament and dwarfed all the girls present.
She beckoned to Yu Sheng, and after Yu Sheng thanked the desert soldiers, she hurriedly followed, and walked with the girl to the throne of the city lord on the high platform.
Everyone got out of the way, and bowed to the two of them, and when Yu Sheng was about to lift his feet and step on the steps, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Jinyiwei has an urgent matter to report to the city lord." ”
Yu Sheng turned around and saw Zhou Jiufeng panting outside the door.
"What's the matter?" asked the girl, standing on the steps.
Zhou Jiufeng walked up with the footsteps of "bang, bang", and his face was serious, which made the rest of his life have the urge to shout "Chu Sheng".
But after thinking about the occasion, the rest of my life held back.
Zhou Jiufeng said respectfully: "When Jinyiwei was inspecting in the early hours of this morning, he heard a scream from the Zuiyue Tower, and went upstairs to check and found that there were seven people in the house, and one of them went crazy and six died. ”
This kind of thing happened during the Chinese New Year, which made Miss Zhao frown, "Did you find out who did it?"
Zhou Jiufeng shook his head, last night because of the New Year's Eve, there were many people in Zuiyue Building who had a New Year's Eve party, and the junior in the store also stayed awake all night.
According to Xiao Er, they never saw anyone enter or leave the room.
"All the people who died were bleeding to death from the Seven Orifices, and there were no wounds on their bodies. Zhou Jiufeng said, "When Jin Yiwei entered the room, he only found an unusual place.
"What an unusual place. Yu Sheng became interested and asked.
"There were about a hundred candles in the room, only one burned out, and all the others were extinguished, and I was sure they were chatting. Zhou Jiufeng said very firmly.
"Chatting?" Suddenly hearing this familiar name, Yu Sheng was a little stunned.
Zhou Jiufeng thought he didn't know and explained: "This is a very old game that has been circulated on the Thousand Mountains Island. ”
In the dead of night, people sit around and light a hundred candles, then tell a hundred stories about ghosts in turn, blowing out one candle for each one.
Legend has it that when the last candle is blown out, a real evil spirit will be summoned.
Rao is so, and there are still many people who try to play this game.
"You mean to say that these people were killed by evil spirits?" Yu Sheng asked, and before Zhou Jiufeng could answer, he denied it, "That's not right." ”
If these people really attracted evil spirits because of chatting and fasting, then all the candles should be extinguished, why did they keep one and burn out?
Zhou Jiufeng glanced at Yu Sheng, and couldn't imagine that Yu Shopkeeper had a high IQ during the New Year.
Miss Zhao glanced at Yu Sheng and said, "I will do evil for the New Year, and I don't take the City Lord's Mansion in my eyes too much, and I have a child." ”
Yu Sheng paused before agreeing.
"I'll leave this case to your Ghost Hunter Division, and I'll get the murderer tomorrow." As the girl commanded, he continued to ascend to the throne of the lord of the city.
For the rest of his life, he asked his subordinates to go to the Star Picking Tower to summon the wealth, and he followed Zhou Jiufeng to the Zuiyue Tower.
There are a lot of pedestrians on the road who go from house to house to pay New Year's greetings, and their faces are full of happy smiles.
Many brocade guards surrounded the Moon Worship Tower, no one was allowed to enter or leave, and many people gathered outside, pointing at the Moon Worship Tower, and whispering about the tragedy that happened in the building.
Fu Yan was already waiting, and when he heard that the Ghost Hunting Division was going to handle the case, he ran over without bothering to eat breakfast, and Ye Zigao, Bai Xingxing and the black girl came with him.
"It turns out that the Ghost Hunting Division is really used to catch ghosts, and I always thought it was an ornament. "The brunette was wrapped in a thick one, and only one face leaked out.
"What kind of decorations, nonsense, talking about ghost hunting, the ghost hunting heavenly master in the city, Wu Zhu is not my opponent. Yu Sheng led everyone in.
Fu is hard to get around, "Our ghost hunting division is finally going to open", that look, it seems that meritorious service, promotion, and marrying Bai Fumei are just around the corner.
The Moon Worship Tower is far less big than the Star Picking Tower, and after entering from the lobby, there is a patio in the middle, and four wooden stairs along the patio lead to the Red House on all sides.
There are many people sitting quietly in the lobby, and there are also many people in the red mansion on all sides looking quietly, and the traces of the all-night carnival are still on their faces, but now they can't laugh.
The room where I played "Liao Zhai" was in the west building facing the street, and when I pushed the door in, the smell of candles came to my face.
The corpse didn't move, and the guests in the building didn't let go of a single one. Zhou Jiufeng said beside him.
