EBE Chapter 244: The Haunted House
Chapter 244: The Haunted House
Mo Wangshu felt like he had come to a strange world. Before he met Tian Xiaoxiao, ghosts only existed in books or legends.
But now, the female ghost sitting in front of him, no, it should be said that it was a beautiful young lady, except that her face was a little pale, she was no different from a human being.
Besides, ghosts can speak: "Sir, I have finally waited for you."
The beautiful female ghost looked at Tian Xiaoxiao with sad eyes.
"The inn's business is bad. Is it because of you?"
"No, no, no, it's not just because of me." The female ghost hurriedly explained.
"Is there another ghost haunting here?" Tian Xiaoxiao understood what the female ghost said.
"This is our cemetery. We can't go anywhere else, so we have to move around here. It's inevitable that we'll be seen, so many unspeakable things have happened." The female ghost said sadly.
"But we didn't do this on purpose. We just wanted to find someone who could help us. Unfortunately, we haven't found anyone in all these years."
The female ghost kept talking like a machine gun.
Tian Xiaoxiao finally understood what she meant.
This inn was originally a cemetery where people who died unjustly were buried.
Their bodies were put with spells that suppressed them, making it impossible for them to leave and their souls unable to be reborn.
They didn't know how many years had passed, but when they woke up, they found a house had been built on the cemetery. They could leave the tomb, but they could not leave the range of the inn.
I thought of many ways, but I never met anyone who could help them.
The female ghost swore that they had never killed anyone.
It's just that people are too timid and run away when they see them.
They can come out once a month to seek help, and because they feel sorry for the innkeeper, they won't disrupt his business too much.
Therefore, although the inn's business was not prosperous, they were not starving to death.
Tian Xiaoxiao: "Girl, you've been talking for so long, but I still can't tell what you want to do."
"Sir, we ghosts just want to be reincarnated."
"You died in vain, don't you want revenge?"
"Our enemies are all dead, where can we seek revenge?"
"Wait a minute, I'll find someone for you."
As a result, as soon as Tian Xiaoxiao opened the door, there were a lot of ghosts following Tian Xiwen, Tian Xiwu and Tian Lele.
When Mo Wangshu saw it, even though she was a brave girl, she fainted immediately.
Seeing this, Tian Xiwu quickly dodged to catch Mo Wangshu who was about to fall.
"Oh, you see, that girl must be his sweetheart."
Tian Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and met a group of gossipy ghosts.
"Brother, what's the situation over there?" Tian Xiaoxiao felt that the matter needed to be resolved quickly.
"Sister, let's go into the room and talk."
Four people plus twenty ghosts came into the room, and Lin Yunzhi also came with five or six ghosts.
Nangong Hui and Nangong Rui were in the same room. For some unknown reason, Nangong Hui, who was in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes.
He faced off against a bloody child.
"Whose child are you? Why do you look like this?" Nangong Hui had never coaxed a child before, so his tone was stiff and scary.
"Waaaaa, Daddy, Mommy, someone is scolding me!" The bloody child burst into tears.
A couple came running over after hearing the noise, wearing bloody white clothes.
Nangong Hui finally discovered something was wrong.
"You, are dead?"
When the floating couple heard Nangong Hui say this, they thought that the person in front of them might be able to help their family.
Nangong Rui just looked at his uncle talking to the air, with a helpless look on his face.
Well, now, Uncle has successfully become the guardian god that Tian Xiaoxiao calls him, who can protect his kingdom.
He had always been a good listener, so he had no choice but to sit aside and listen to his great uncle talking to himself.
The couple took their child and knelt in front of Nangong Hui, telling him about their grievances.
Nangong Hui woke up and arrived at this place. His nephew was also in front of him, but this was not the imperial palace, so he was a little confused about the situation.
"Uncle, Tian Xiaoxiao's family lives next door." Nangong Rui kindly reminded.
So Nangong Hui stood up: "You guys follow me."
The two adults and one child followed Nangong Hui to Tian Xiaoxiao's room.
No one was surprised to see new members joining.
Since this is a cemetery, I wonder how many bodies have been buried here.
After gathering together, each of them told their life story and cause of death in detail.
Tian Xiwen's judge's pen wrote the grievances of the ghosts in the air.
The night was miserable.
Where did this great god run into so many ghosts who had grievances to redress?
He didn't care at first, but when Tian Xiwen's complaint reached his hands, the more he read it, the more frightened he became!
Hurry up and look through the Yin-Yang Book.
According to the Yin-Yang Book, these people died of old age and were reincarnated.
What went wrong?
During that time, he seemed to have disordered breathing, so he handed the matter over to the judge of the underworld to handle.
Great! There is trouble in the underworld. How can this be tolerated?
So he pointed to the Yin-Yang Book and asked the judge what was going on.
The judge said in a firm voice that he had done nothing wrong, that everything was arranged according to their fate, including the year, month and day of death and how they would die, and he even let the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Face to take their souls away in batches.
Ming Ye saw the judge's righteous look, and went to ask the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Face.
The answer we got was that the souls were indeed brought back, but when crossing the Wangchuan River, those ghosts jumped in one after another.
And then, nothing happened, because they could not endure the pain of being burned by the water of the Forgotten River, and their willpower was not strong, so their souls were scattered.
Ming Ye asked the five of them to read Tian Xiwen's petition.
The five people said in unison: "How is this possible!"
"You are required to go to where Tian Xiaoxiao is right now and find out who has the ability to conceal this matter. The soul that jumped into the Wangchuan River is definitely not a human soul, it is very likely a paper man.
The soul of the paper man needs blood to drive it. There must be blood left by the caster at the bottom of the Wangchuan River. I will go check it out now! You guys, hurry up!"
Tian Xiwen was still writing the petition with a big brush.
When the ghosts saw the messenger from the underworld, they did not show any fear at all.
Instead, they were so excited that they started crying. It had been a long time, and finally someone came to save them from their suffering.
The judge walked up to Tian Xiaoxiao and said, "Ms. Tian, long time no see. Hades asked us to help deal with these ghosts."
The judge then recounted the situation recorded in the Yin-Yang Book.
"I have a question, how does that person know when and how they will die?" Tian Xiaoxiao threw out a trump card.
The judge was stumped.
Start thinking about this.
The Ox-Headed, Horse-Faced, Black and White Impermanence understood the meaning of Tian Xiao's joke: someone has seen the fate of this group of people.
The big orange cat woke up with a "meow meow meow". It had no choice but to wake up. The more he slept, the colder he felt. The room was filled with too much gloomy energy.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, you're awake! There's work to do! ]
Daju looked around.
Mo Wangshu also woke up, and only then did she realize that the cat was Qingchen.
Daju: [Why are there so many ghosts in the room? Did you disturb the ghost's nest? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I accidentally entered this inn. I had no idea that this would happen.]
Daju: [There is no way to finish the work now. You will need to deal with this group of ghosts for ten days or half a month.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Tell us everything you know. We have strength in numbers, so it won’t take much time.]
Daju: [I know a way to know other people’s fate.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Which method? ]
