"Gouged!"

Hearing this, Chen Anlin stomped in front of the house.

Chen Anlin has heard and read many stories about Liaozhai. Just by hearing this story, he actually already had an idea in his mind and probably knew what happened.

Gao Shouzheng said: "Yes, the eminent monk's heart was dug out. My daughter was very scared and asked the maid who had grown up with her to find me overnight because she heard me talk about you last time and knew that you were very powerful."

A young man on the side said: "Mr. Liu, you have a bodhisattva heart, please save my sister."

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to save people, but you have to be prepared."

"If you need anything, Mr. Liu, just ask, and we will definitely satisfy you," Gao Shouzheng said.

"This afternoon, my sister will invite us over on the pretext that she wants to celebrate her son's birthday. Mr. Liu, how about you sneak into our team and find a way to deal with it."

Chen Anlin can listen to it.

"Well, I'll pack my things. You guys prepare the carriage and pick me up later."

"well!"

Gao Shouzheng and his people quickly went back to work.

As soon as they left, Chen Anlin sighed, and when he turned around, he was almost scared to death.

Xu Ying'er was floating behind him unknowingly, with a cold look on her face.

"Fuck, I almost scared you to death."

"You will be scared too."

Xu Ying'er was originally very proud, but finally let Chen Anlin know that she was scared.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Chen Anlin pinched her hard.

"oops!"

"Go away, don't delay my work."

Chen Anlin entered the room speechless.

Qin Mo followed behind and shook his head at Xu Ying'er: "Does it hurt? How about I rub it for you?"

"There's something wrong with you."

Xu Yinger said.

"Kekeke..."

Qin Mo laughed. She liked to see Xu Ying'er, a fierce ghost, deflated.

While Chen Anlin was picking up the tools, he recalled what Gao Shouzheng had just said.

If his prediction was correct, the ghost in Gao Shouzheng's daughter's house was a ghost in human skin.

The so-called human-skinned ghost is a ghost without skin, from the Liaozhai series "Painted Skin".

This painted skin is one of the most mentioned stories in the Liao Zhai series, and has been adapted into film and television dramas many times.

In the story of Painted Skin, as Gao Shouzheng just said, what this human skin ghost is best at is putting on the skin of some beautiful women and then sneaking into other people's homes.

In order to keep their skin from rotting and for the sake of cultivation, human skin ghosts live by eating human hearts.

Therefore, after hearing that there were cases of people being poached nearby, Chen Anlin wondered whether there was a skin ghost nearby.

Looking at it now, it is true.

"Mr. Liu, you seem to be very confident in this case."

Qin Mo entered the room, saw Chen Anlin's confident look, and asked.

Chen Anlin said: "I probably already know what's going on."

"You still have to be careful. Ghosts that can transform into human forms and stay in other people's homes are very powerful." Xu Ying'er said as she entered the room.

"You care about me?" Chen Anlin smiled.

Xu Ying'er turned her head and said, "If you die, who will investigate the cause of my death?"

"That's right, then you should stay at home."

Although Xu Ying'er could go out, the journey was too far and the ghost energy would be easily consumed, so she was not allowed to go.

Besides, the past is useless. Chen Anlin can deal with it without using Xu Ying'er.

If Xu Ying'er can't deal with it, it's useless to go there.

After a while, Gao Shouzheng's carriage came over.

Chen Anlin got on the carriage, and Gao Shouzheng also sat inside.

There are also some gifts in the car.

After greetings, the carriage set off.

In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and it often took a long time to go somewhere.

Therefore, if a certain household has something to do, they will be notified in advance.

Those who are invited often leave early and try to arrive before the meal.

Fortunately, Chen Anlin and the others were on horseback and left the village. After more than an hour, they finally arrived at a nearby town.

Chen Anlin has heard of this town, but has never been to it.

The bustling level is very good. When you come to the street, there is an endless stream of vendors on both sides.

But it was obvious that the people here frowned and seemed to be very disgusted when they saw these foreigners.

"There are foreigners here again. The poaching cases that happened here during this period must be caused by foreigners." A woman carrying a vegetable basket whispered to the vendor.

"Isn't it? I heard it's haunted."

"Whether it's haunted or man-made, it must be related to the strangers. Maybe this ghost has become a human and is hiding among these strangers."

"Isn't that right? Now even the hearts of the eminent monks in Ruhai Temple have been dug out. What can we do now?"

"It's better to go to bed early at night, close the door, and don't wander around!"

Chen Anlin was in the carriage and vaguely heard something.

"It seems that this heartbreaking case has made people panic."

Chen Anlin shook his head and sighed.

Gao Shouzheng on the side sighed: "Isn't it? My daughter is extremely scared now. She must eradicate that goblin as soon as possible."

After walking on the road for a while, I finally saw Du Mansion.

Du Qiyuan's home is considered a good one in the town, and the mansion is the largest in the neighborhood.

Today is the birthday of the eldest son of the Du family, so many relatives and friends came to congratulate him.

Du Qiyuan and Gao Shouzheng's daughter stood at the door to greet the guests.

Seeing his father-in-law coming, Du Qiyuan held his head high and hurriedly greeted him: "Father-in-law, you have worked hard along the way."

"Hehehe, here you come to see my grandson. Why bother?"

"Dad, come in."

As expected of a daughter and a father, even though the daughter was married, the two of them made eye contact as soon as they spoke.

The look in Gao Shouzheng's eyes said that my daughter, don't worry, I have brought Mr. Liu here who can conquer demons.

Afterwards, several servants took the gifts in one by one, and Chen Anlin followed Gao Shouzheng. Being regarded as Gao Shouzheng's subordinate, Chen Anlin also followed in.

As for the guqin, it was placed on the carriage.

………………

There were many guests in the house. In addition to the servants, there were more than 20 relatives and friends.

At this time, Chen Anlin noticed that a beautiful young woman was walking back and forth among the guests, serving tea and water. From time to time, she chatted with the guests about household matters, causing bursts of laughter.

"This is the woman who was picked up, named Qiu."

Gao Shouzheng reminded softly: "After she came, many people liked her because she was good at talking and doing things."

Chen Anlin nodded slightly, looked over intently, and frowned.

The woman in front of me is very normal, just an ordinary young woman.

The only difference is that the woman is so beautiful that even a woman can't help but look at her.

At this time, Qiu came over and said, "Father is here, come on, sit down."

She was already Du Qiyuan's concubine, so naturally she followed Du Qiyuan and called Gao Shouzheng her father.

Gao Shouzheng chuckled and said, "Okay, where is my grandson?"

Qiu smiled and said, "Today is his big day, and he is playing in the back room."

"Well, I'm going to see him." After Gao Shouzheng finished speaking, he said to Chen Anlin: "I'm going over. You find a place to sit here."

He said he was looking for a place to sit, but

In fact, let Chen Anlin act on his own.

"knew."

Chen Anlin nodded, and when Gao Shouzheng left, Qiu asked, "I went to my father's house with my husband before, but I don't think I've seen you before."

"I'm new here." Chen Anlin said.

"Oh? New here, young enough. Do you want some tea?"

"Okay, where is the tea?"

"Come with me."

Entering the next room, Qiu poured tea for Chen Anlin.

When receiving the tea, Chen Anlin's hand touched Qiu's hand. As he guessed, there was no warmth at all.

Qiu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't look angry at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "You are so brave. You don't even know where this place is, and you dare to look down on me."

Chen Anlin smiled and said, "If I don't treat you lightly, how can I comfort you?"

"Okay, okay, you still want to bully me. You are the most courageous servant I have ever seen."

Although Qiu was scolding, her expression was shy, as if she really wanted to do something nice with Chen Anlin.

Finished.

Qiu stretched out her hand and nodded towards Chen Anlin: "Okay, stop playing around. If you really want me, how about coming to my backyard at night and I will accompany you?"

Then, Qiu licked her scarlet tongue and couldn't help but look at Chen Anlin's heart.

There was a beating heart, her favorite.

"Hurrah!"

Chen Anlin smiled.

His right hand reached for the kitchen knife attached behind his back, and he immediately aimed it at Qiu's head and chopped it off.

"Pfft!"

The speed was so fast that by the time Qiu came to her senses, she had already fallen to the ground.

"ah…………"

The human heads falling to the ground made a tragic sound.

Chen Anlin knew that this kind of monster would not be solved so easily.

Then, another immobilization talisman hit him.

"Fixing Talisman, Ding!"

The sound here was too noisy and attracted the attention of guests outside.

"What's wrong? It's so noisy?"

"There's a fight, let's go and take a look."

Many people opened the door and were immediately frightened and backed away.

All they saw was a human head floating out towards them.

"Bold monster, where are you going?"

Chen Anlin rushed out of the room and threw the kitchen knife at the head.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The kitchen knife flew in the air and quickly struck the person's head.

"ah!"

The head screamed again.

At this time, everyone discovered who the head was.

"Qiu family, isn't this Qiu family?"

"Madam, what's wrong with you?"

When Du Qiyuan saw this scene, he rolled his eyes and almost lost his balance. Fortunately, the servant behind him held him up.

Chen Anlin shouted: "Don't be afraid, everyone, Qiu is a ghost! I will get rid of her now."

After walking over, he pulled out the kitchen knife from Qiu's forehead.

"Ah, be careful behind you."

someone exclaimed.

Behind Chen Anlin, a headless corpse ran toward him with a long sword raised.

It was no longer possible to dodge, so Chen Anlin turned around and stretched out his hand to block it.

"Pfft!"

The sharp sword sliced ​​Chen Anlin's arm open, and blood immediately splattered.

What surprised Chen Anlin was that when the blood splashed on the headless corpse, black smoke surged from the body, and the blood was like sulfuric acid, corroding the corpse.

Chen Anlin raised his eyebrows, and he suddenly discovered that his blood seemed to have a restraining effect on such evil things.

How else could it be?

After thinking about it, he picked up the butcher's knife and wiped some of his own blood on it.

The golden light flashed on the butcher's knife.

"die!"

Chen Anlin roared angrily and struck with a knife.

Suddenly, the headless body was split into two halves.

"Willy is so strong!"

Chen Anlin never expected that with the blessing of his own blood, the power of killing pigs would be so powerful.

He thought about it carefully and felt relieved.

‘I’m afraid it’s because of my exquisite heart with seven orifices! ’

Every beat of the Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures can drive the circulation of blood in the body, because the blood brought out by the Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures may indeed be different for Willy.

"Why, why did you kill my wife?" Du Qiyuan cried and shouted, pointing at Chen Anlin.

"Haven't you seen it yet? This is a ghost!" Chen Anlin shouted.

"Yes, Boss Du, didn't you see that this head was still able to speak just now?"

"The head is gone and the body is still running. I have learned a lot this time."

"Ghost, Qiu family, how could it be a ghost..."

It was obvious that Du Qiyuan was deeply confused.

He really couldn't figure out how the woman who lived with him day and night and was so considerate could be a ghost.

"If it's a ghost, why hasn't she harmed me?" Du Qiyuan really couldn't figure this out.

Chen Anlin said: "It's very simple. These ghosts are called human skin ghosts. They live in other people's skins. They often sneak into a certain family's home, and then go out to look for prey late at night. Anyone killed by them will be killed." Digging out the heart!”

"Tear out the heart!"

Someone's expression changed: "Sir, are you saying that this ghost is responsible for the recent poaching case?"

"Exactly." Chen Anlin nodded.

"Who are you to be so sure?"

At this time, Gao Shouzheng was helped out and shouted loudly: "This is Young Master Liu An!"

"Master Liu An Liu!"

Some well-informed people were shocked when they heard about this face.

"It turns out to be Mr. Liu, no wonder."

"you have heard?"

"This is natural..."

Then, some people who knew Chen Anlin's recent deeds began to tell the people around him.

"Wait a moment!"

At this time, Du Qiyuan, who was originally in despair, staggered to his feet, straightened his body and asked, "No, it's not right."

"Mr. Liu, I have also heard of your name, but you are wrong to say that Qiu is a ghost, the one who digs out people's hearts."

"Qiyuan, this is Mr. Liu, what he said is wrong."

Madam Gao Xiang asked from behind.

Du Qiyuan said: "I have been with Qiu for the past few nights, and she has never left my sight. Mr. Liu, you said she is the human-skinned ghost who dug out the heart, then I would like to know how she got a clone. To commit a crime? This is unreasonable."

After being told this, some servants agreed.

"Yes, a few days ago the heart of an eminent monk was dug out in Ruhai Temple. I had been watching Mr. Qiu talking about guzheng that day and never went out." A maid said.

The servant next to him nodded, "I saw it too."

Du Qiyuan said: "So, Qiu may indeed be a ghost, but she is not the one who dug out the heart!"

"Maybe, although she is a ghost, she has a good character. You killed her for no reason, you..."

Du Qiyuan wanted to curse a few words, but he didn't dare, and his face turned red from suppressing it.

Chen Anlin nodded silently and said, "It seems that the Qiu family has a helper."

"Mr. Liu, why do you say that?" Gao Shouzheng asked.

Chen Anlin said: "Everyone doesn't know that this kind of human-skinned ghost needs to eat the heart regularly in order to maintain its appearance, otherwise it will gradually rot and die. That's why I concluded that this Qiu family is a human-skinned ghost. Since you said Qiu has never gone out, so it’s obvious that someone sends her hearts regularly.”

This is the case in the movie "Painted Skin".

The human-skinned ghost has an accomplice, a lizard demon. Usually, the lizard demon harms people and sends people's hearts to the human-skinned ghost.

Different from the movie, the lizard demon in the movie always takes the hearts of evil people.

Because the human skin ghost has said that evil people do many evil things and have evil hearts. For their cultivation, eating this kind of heart is a great tonic.

But here, the human skin ghost kills people randomly.

"Mr. Liu, so there is a ghost?" Gao Shouzheng's brows trembled and he looked around in fear. He was worried that the ghost was among the crowd.

"Master Liu, please save our family. If there is a ghost in the house, he will definitely harm us."

Gao Xiang also spoke, then pulled Du Qiyuan and said: "Mr. Master, please kneel down quickly and talk to Mr. Liu. If this ghost really harms our family, our family will be in trouble."

Du Qiyuan glanced at Qiu's body next to him. Although he liked Qiu very much, he trusted Chen Anlin more.

After all, he had also heard about Chen Anlin's deeds and knew that he was very powerful.

What such a person says is not nonsense.

Immediately, he hurriedly handed over his hand: "Please ask Mr. Liu to save people, and my Du family will repay you with a lot of money."

After saying that, Du Qiyuan seemed to have thought of something and said quickly: "Where's my son? Bring him here quickly. If that ghost wants to deal with our son, it will be troublesome."

"Yep."

Gao Xiang quickly went to hug his son.

Chen Anlin said: "Everyone who knows me well knows that I never charge money for killing demons."

"Young Master Liu is very righteous."

"Let me just say, Mr. Liu is a brave man and a good man."

"Not bad!"

People around him complimented him, and Chen Anlin said loudly: "Okay, now, don't go out casually. There must be ghosts here, hiding around you."

Hearing this, everyone felt in danger and looked at the people around them warily.

Chen Anlin also feels a little troubled now.

Because the human skin ghost is hiding in human skin, this is not an illusion, but a real thing. If you rely solely on the naked eye, you will not see any problems at all.

Just now he was able to suddenly deal with Qiu, but he already doubted her.

Secondly, through dialogue, it was obvious that there was something wrong with Qiu's words and deeds, so he suddenly killed him.

But now, there are so many people present.

At this time, Gao Xiang came over with his son in his arms.

"Why does it take so long? Mr. Liu has been waiting for a long time." Du Qiyuan said to his wife displeased.

Gao Xiang said aggrievedly: "My son just cried and didn't want to come over. There's nothing I can do about it."

Du Qiyuan didn't say anything, and then said: "Mr. Liu, I don't know how you can find out the ghost in my house."

Chen Anlin recalled the plot of the movie.

Although this ghost cannot be seen with the naked eye, there is a way to detect it at once.

That is to make a cut on your finger. If it is a ghost, it will naturally appear as soon as the skin is broken.

Just as he was about to speak, he turned his eyes and saw his son on Gao Xiang's shoulder.

Just now Gao Xiang said that her son kept crying, but why there were no tears in his eyes.

The child cries, but there are no tears.
