Chapter 163: Strange Things in the Theater (11)
The people in the inn rushed over. The ones from the heaven just frowned and had no expression on their faces. The rest of the ordinary people couldn't help but screamed and stepped back when they saw the corpses outside the inn. The timid ones even fell to the ground.
“What on earth is this…”
"Zhai Tian also died like this... He also died like this... This damn place."
Feng Xiao looked at the dazed Su Miaoying expressionlessly, not knowing whether last night's deal was still in place. After all, Xiaoli, whom she wanted to protect, was already dead.
Su Su's face was pale and she was still in shock. At this moment, she saw Su Miaoying collapsed at the door and slowly walked over to her and gently helped her up: "Are you okay?"
Mu Hanxing glanced at Susu and thought she was quite gentle and kind.
Su Miaoying seemed to be numb all over. She was pulled up by Susu stiffly and weakly, and then was taken back to the inn by Susu with an expressionless face.
"Keep going out of the city! Catch ghosts!" Cui Ren gave an order, and the two apprentices quickly cheered up in their panic, and took advantage of the lightening sky to quickly walk out of the inn.
"The question now is, why did she want to go out?" Jingchen asked, standing at the door and looking at the corpse.
Mu Hanxing also felt strange. Why did Xiaoli want to leave the inn?
The remaining few people in the inn began to discuss.
"I'll go see the body." Gong Yu said with a frown, and was about to walk out the door.
At this moment, a huge shadow suddenly fell from the sky and silently grabbed the body parts on the ground. In the blink of an eye, only a pool of blood was left on the ground.
Mu Hanxing was chatting with Chuntao and didn't pay attention to the door. Jingchen and Fengxiao, who were guarding on both sides of the door, soon felt a strong yin energy pressing towards them. Their eyes became stern at the same time. Jingchen disappeared at the door of the inn in an instant and rushed out after the indescribable black shadow!
Feng Xiao was unwilling to fall behind him, so he quickly flew after him. The two of them took off into the air almost one after the other, rushing straight up in the sky of the theater city. However, the black shadow quickly disappeared in the air with the corpse like a ghost. The two of them kept using their spiritual power to rise into the air. At the highest point, they strongly felt a thick yin energy. When they rushed upwards again, they were hit hard by a solid thick wall.
The two of them were looking at the boundless sky in the air. There were no clouds in the sky and the sun was nowhere to be seen. The entire blue sky was an extremely strange color and there was obviously a barrier set up above. Even if they flew into the air with swords, it would be impossible to escape from the city, otherwise Cui Ren and the others would have flown out long ago.
"What's going on?" Feng Xiao confronted Jing Chen in the air with doubts in his eyes.
Jingchen's expression was very indifferent: "You ask me? How should I know?"
"Ningguo and the Lan family, you don't know?" Feng Xiao was certain that he knew something, but was just hiding it. "How much of the scroll have you read?"
"Mr. Feng, you should focus on your government affairs. I would like to ask you, many years ago, it was the Lan family who begged your Jianmu Phoenix clan to obtain the raw materials for making exquisite shadow puppets. How come you forgot about it so quickly?" Jingchen hinted at something.
Feng Xiao's eyes darkened and he remained silent.
"He is afraid of not being able to accomplish anything, and he is also afraid of getting himself into trouble by investigating too deeply. Master Feng is really a man of foresight." Jing Chen smiled lightly. After Yin and Yang were done, he was the first to land from the air and returned to the inn.
After the two returned, Mu Hanxing saw them and asked hurriedly, "What happened? What happened just now? You two are gone in the blink of an eye."
“All the people who were killed have been taken away, but the entire city has been sealed off from top to bottom, and the ghost ways are very sophisticated.” Jingchen concluded.
"That is to say, the big brother who was traveling with me did not find a way to leave or was driven out by the guards, but..." Xu Shan had already guessed it in his heart, and he was still shocked after it was confirmed.
"What does that ghost want these corpses for?" Mu Hanxing asked.
Jingchen and Fengxiao exchanged a look, both of which were cold and indifferent. Mu Hanxing frowned: "Just tell me what you know."
Feng Xiao said, "Many years ago, Xicheng was not called Xicheng. They had their own political center, called Boguo. The Lan family was equivalent to the royal family of Boguo, and Boguo was also famous for the shadow puppetry of the Lan family. After the people of Ningguo learned about it, they deliberately invited the Lan family to Huajing to perform shadow puppetry at a banquet. The Ningguo Shijie welcomed them as distinguished guests, and the palace was full of laughter and conversation. What happened later... I'm afraid I have to ask this Miss Su."
The plan had failed. Seeing that Su Miaoying was now distracted and dull, she probably had no intention of asking him for the password anymore, so Feng Xiao just asked openly.
Everyone turned their eyes to Su Miaoying, and the butcher Guangsheng said sternly, "You really know something? I've seen you be acting strangely these past few days, and you like to stammer when you're alone. What, are you in league with that ghost?"
"Guangsheng, what are you talking about?" Susu quickly pulled the furious Guangsheng back.
"Can you please stop bothering me?"
Maybe he was shocked by seeing a living person he knew being dismembered. Suddenly, the eyes of the man called Guangsheng became fierce and red, and his elbow was raised. Susu subconsciously closed her eyes and dodged backwards.
Guangsheng was stunned, as if he suddenly realized something. He quickly stopped what he was doing, then sat there with his eyes wide open, breathing heavily.
Mu Hanxing looked at Guangsheng with a fierce look on her face, as if she understood something. It turned out that there was such a problem between this couple.
"Miss Su, do you know why your maid went out last night?" Jingchen asked, leaning against the door of the inn with his hands on his chest.
There were still two lines of tears on Su Miaoying's face. She choked and recovered from the fear and loss just now. Her voice was hoarse: "Xiao Li and I are like sisters. We don't follow any family rules when we are away from home. So last night I asked her to rest first and not wait on me. I had to go out to do something. When I returned to the room, I found that she was sleeping soundly... I thought that thing didn't come to find us again. Maybe it was tired, so I fell asleep quickly. I didn't have any dreams that night. After waking up... I found that she was gone. I looked everywhere for her. When I left the inn..."
"Looking for you? You two are the only ones who can hear women's laughter in the middle of the night?" Jing Chen asked again, "Do you know the reason?"
Su Miaoying frowned for a moment before she said weakly, "We have a tradition in our Su family. Once a baby is born, we will ask a Taoist priest to predict its fortune. If it is a very bad fate, it will be bad for making money and will affect the family business, so the baby will be adopted by someone else at a very young age. If it is a slightly bad fate, it can still be saved... Back then, not long after I was born, my parents arranged for a Taoist priest to tell my fortune. The Taoist priest said that I had a slightly bad fate, so I would not be sent away, but I needed to find a baby girl born on the same day as me to stay by my side all the time to be the girl who would save me from disasters. In this way, the big and small disasters in my life would be blocked by the girl who would save my life and the wealth of the Su family."
When these words were spoken, the people in the inn were all shocked.
