Merchant of the Underworld

It wasn't until the woman entered the hall for a long time that I realized what she was doing and hurriedly chased after her!

I sprinkled a thin layer of glutinous rice flour on everything in the palace. As long as it was touched by her, it would naturally leave its aura and be locked onto it by me.

I bit my middle finger, drew a trapping charm on the door, and then gently opened the door.

The entire hall was empty, but it was brightly lit.

The Mother-in-law of the Moon showed a kind smile, and the virgins waiting on both sides were just as seen during the day. However, the boy holding the water bowl in his hand was not only covered with cracks, but also jingling and shaking, and the water in the bowl was shaking. Splashed everywhere.

It seems that I guessed right. The ghost living in the ghost has gradually regained some sanity after killing several girls one after another.

It seems to have recalled some stories from its life, but it has not fully recovered, and it can't even remember who it is?

However, the most longing, most nostalgic, and most indelible memory in its heart has been aroused.

Following the smell of glutinous rice flour, I turned around and suddenly noticed that a curtain in the corner of the hall was shaking slightly. At first glance, it looked as if there was a mouse hiding in it that was eating lamp oil.

But I know very well that this must be the Yin spirit!

It sensed the crisis, but I wrote a trap charm on the door and couldn't escape, so it could only hide here temporarily. I took two steps forward, and the curtain shook even more.

I took out a middle-grade spiritual talisman, held it in my hand, and took two steps closer.

call!

A gust of dark wind blew violently.

Most of the lights in the hall were immediately extinguished, leaving only a few lights near the door that still emitted extremely weak light.

I sniffed and found that although the cold wind was biting, it was filled with a refreshing fragrance, just like the body fragrance of ancient beauties, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

As the cold wind blew in, the curtain also swelled up, slowly forming the shape of a person, as if hiding a graceful and extremely beautiful goddess.

I took two more steps forward. The aroma became stronger and the curtain shook even more. It was obvious that she was aware of the danger and was extremely frightened.

Its figure is already graceful, and it becomes even more charming when it shakes...

As long as the mind is slightly unstable, I will be confused, but I am not a newbie, so naturally I cannot be fascinated.

Immediately, he lit the magic talisman and threw it towards the curtain!

As soon as the magic talisman came closer, the people in the curtain seemed to be in great pain, letting out weak screams, and the Yin Qi in the hall also reduced a bit.

I took out three more talismans and threw them over, and the curtain finally stopped moving.

I waited for a while and saw nothing unusual, so I walked over and found a sachet lying in the curtain.

The sachet is made of colorful silk embroidery, and the patterns on it are extremely simple. It is both majestic and majestic, and also reveals the elegance of nature. It is an extremely rare ancient collection!

Judging from the flying bird patterns all over it, I estimate that the sachet was probably around the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

There is also a line of small golden characters embroidered on the bottom of the sachet: "Yi Guang Man Liu Fragrance."

Yi Guang?

I muttered secretly, as if I had seen this name in some book, and then suddenly woke up, isn't this Xi Tzu?

I'm afraid no one is unfamiliar with Xi Shi. Xi Shi is one of the four famous beauties in China, and her story is widely circulated among the people. Xi Shi's original name was Yi Guang. He was a Yue nationality during the Warring States Period. Because his family lived in Xicun, he was named Xi Shi.

Legend has it that she was so beautiful that every time she washed clothes, even the fish in the water would sink to the bottom of the water. This is the origin of the allusion of "Shen Yu".

At that time, the State of Yue was defeated by the State of Wu, and even King Gou Jian of Yue became a prisoner of King Wu. King Wu humiliated Gou Jian in every possible way, asking him to raise horses, eat cow dung, and even sleep with his wife in front of him, but Gou Jian just endured it silently. .

Gou Jian endured this for three years. During these three years, he tasted a mouthful of gall every day to remind himself that he would eventually be rewarded.

Gou Jian's bravery finally paid off. The king of Wu felt that Gou Jian was very good, so he let him go back to his country.

After returning to his hometown, Gou Jian immediately changed his appearance. He sent Wen Zhong to manage the country's political affairs and Fan Li to manage the military. He personally trained with the soldiers on the front line and told them all the humiliations he had suffered in the past three years, which made the soldiers grit their teeth!

With the efforts of the whole country, the country of Yue finally became stronger and stronger. At the same time, Gou Jian personally went to the West Village to find the most beautiful woman Xi Shi. He knelt in front of Xi Shi and begged Xi Shi to sacrifice himself, use a beauty trick to confuse the King of Wu, and fight for the counterattack of the country of Yue. Take time.

Gou Jian's sincerity moved Xi Shi, and Xi Shi agreed to dedicate herself to the King of Wu.

After arriving in the Kingdom of Wu, Xishi relied on her stunning appearance and superb skills in music, chess, singing and dancing, causing the King of Wu to indulge in drinking and debauchery day and night and ignore the government affairs. Gou Jian took the opportunity to launch an attack.

As expected, the Kingdom of Wu was destroyed and King Wu died, but Xi Shi also disappeared like a mystery. Some people say that Xi Shi died in the war, while others say that Gou Jian was impressed by Xi Shi's patriotism and gave her a thousand pieces of gold to allow Xi Shi and her lover to retire to the mountains and forests...

Some historical books record that the reason why Xi Shi attracted the favor of three thousand kings of Wu was because her body exuded an intoxicating body fragrance. Fu Chai was extremely obsessed with this body fragrance, and he felt it was not enough to play and sing with Xi Shi every night. He also hired famous craftsmen to make a perfume bag for Xi Shi to carry with him to store the fragrance.

Unexpectedly, the sachet has been passed down to this day, and I happened to see it.

Obviously the evil spirit causing trouble is Xi Shi, but she is completely unconscious at the moment and is just an ordinary ghost.

What's even more pitiable is that a generation of patriotic and eccentric women were actually taken advantage of and killed so many innocent girls! If she knew something, I don't know what she would think.

By now, the truth of the case is very clear.

Mr. Wu who donated the Osmanthus Mountain has two daughters, the two old nuns in the Osmanthus Nunnery.

When the two of them were living in poverty, Hao Zizi came to their door and introduced them to a godfather, an old man with white eyebrows from Longquan Villa.

Using the sachets from Longquan Villa, a few of them worked together to trick the ignorant girls into tying sacrificial red ropes and refine them into elixirs.

Later, he sold the elixirs to rich women at high prices and made a lot of money!

Fortunately, they accidentally made a mistake during the process of refining the medicine and placed the two sacrificial red ropes in the wrong position, so I found the clues and tracked them all the way to this point.

However, the white-browed old man is dead, and the clues to continue tracing Longquan Villa are cut off...

Who was the white-browed old man killed by?

Just as I was thinking about it, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded from the courtyard.

I turned around and saw that it was brother and sister Zhang Xiaoai and Luo Yang and Luo Li.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Xiaoai asked with great concern.

"It's okay." I responded and looked at Luo Li.

Luo Li understood what I meant, blushed and lowered her head.

Luo Yang explained on the side: As I said, his sister was not harmed, but she took the initiative to shut down her phone and deliberately avoided everyone.

While visiting Osmanthus Mountain, she happened to meet a male classmate whom she had admired very much. The two reunited after a long absence, fell in love at first sight, and went to a concert together.

She turned off her phone in the concert hall, never expecting that the picture of the red rope would remind her brother of the girl's disappearance, so she had a false alarm.

Immediately, Zhang Xiaoai introduced to me that the escaped old nun and the injured Hao Zizi were all arrested and brought to justice. They confessed to the crime, and the missing girl case that shocked the city was finally brought to an end.

I was not invited to attend the police force’s celebration banquet. After all, my identity is somewhat special, and it is even more difficult to publicize my identity as a trader of negative things. After resting for two days, he returned to Wuhan.

Before leaving, Zhang Xiaoai praised me very much, saying that my detective skills were superb, and that I was brave and resourceful and could compete with the undefeated detective Song Yang, the chief consultant of the provincial department!

I just smiled and had no idea who Song Yang was.

I never thought that one day in the future, I would have to deal with him because of a shocking case, but that was already a story for another time.

I took this sachet back to the antique store and sold it to a film and television star through Yin Xinyue - she had excellent looks and acting skills, but she was born with body odor, which made her very disliked by her colleagues and directors. Ever since she put on this sachet, her stardom has been smooth sailing, and she has become a first-class actress.
