Lian Yi at this time had already left the capital city. They rode their horses at full speed for five days before they rested for one night in a small village and continued to move westward.
"Miss, when we get to the next town, let's buy a carriage! Riding a horse all day is too tiring."
Luo Huai found an opportunity and quietly proposed to Lianyi.
"Okay, you can do it in the next town."
After hearing this, Luo Huai revealed the dimples on his face.
After another three days of travel, they finally arrived at Shuangqi Town. After checking into the inn, everyone took the time to wash up and fell asleep after eating, as they had not slept well in the past few days.
Lianyi used meditation to restore her strength, then covered herself with a quilt and took a nap for a while. In the afternoon, Liang Chen drove a carriage and took Luo Huai back to the inn.
"Miss, the carriage has been bought, so you don't have to ride so hard on the rest of the journey."
Luo Huai happily asked for credit.
"Well, you've worked hard! We've been traveling these past few days. Let's take another day off and set off tomorrow morning."
Lianyi waved her hand and arranged for these people to replenish their previous consumption. She lazily lay in the room reading a storybook, which was a "Records of Strange Stories" that Luo Huai had found. Just as she was reading the interesting part, Luo Ying and Luo Huai knocked on her door.
"Come in!"
"Miss, everything is ready! We can set off now."
"Didn't you say it was for the morning? Aren't you tired of riding? Have you rested enough now?"
Ripple asked with a smile.
"No, Miss, this Shuangqi Town is haunted!"
Luo Huai looked a little awkward, and he deliberately lowered his voice and spoke.
"Haunted? What's the haunted thing?"
Lianyi became interested, closed the book in her hand, looked up and asked.
"Miss, when we went to buy supplies, we heard from the shop owner that Miss Lianyue, the top prostitute in the largest brothel here, Yaoyue Tower, died tragically. The murderer has never been found. In addition, she was born a prostitute and has no relatives to seek justice for her. The madam was also unethical and sent Lianyue to a mass grave with a roll of tattered mats.
Seven days later, someone said that he saw Miss Lianyue. Then the madam of the brothel died that day, followed by several girls who had been at odds with Lianyue in their lifetime also died. All of them died in horrible ways.
Soon after, the sons of officials and rich young masters who were closely involved in Lianyue's death met with accidents one after another. People in Shuangqi Town said that Lianyue came to seek revenge. "
Luo Huai blurted out all the gossip he had heard.
"And then? Was the vengeful female ghost caught?"
Ripple asked with interest.
"This is the key point I want to talk about. Those young masters' families are not short of money, and they have invited many Taoist priests to perform rituals to exorcise ghosts, but unfortunately they all ended in failure. Some Taoist priests even lost their lives. Although these families have repeatedly increased the silver, and now it has risen to 10,000 taels of silver, no one dares to come to their door."
Luo Huai continued to reply.
"Then didn't they send anyone to look for other immortal masters?"
“They all go but never come back.”
Liang Chen immediately interjected.
"It seems that this female ghost is still very powerful."
Lian Yi said without comment.
"So Miss, shall we set off today?"
Luo Huai cares about this the most.
"Tomorrow morning! If the female ghost takes action tonight, we can also watch the fun."
Lianyi made the decision directly.
Luo Huai's face fell, and she wanted to say that it would be better not to watch this excitement.
But before he could open his mouth, he was sent to rest by his mistress.
Lianyi was not in a hurry to leave. She just wanted to see whether this was a real ghost, man-made, or the evil spirit was using Lianyue's body to act. Since she had encountered it, she would get rid of it together. However, she had no intention of going to those young masters' homes to earn money for exorcising evil spirits.
Because of the news that Luo Huai brought back, the guards including Aunt Wen and Wu Meng chose to buy everything during the day and stay in the inn to rest that night.
Lianyi meditated until midnight, then she opened her eyes because she smelled a hint of evil. She then stood up, walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked at the quiet Shuangqi Town.
Because she lived in the third floor of the inn, which was considered the best inn in the whole town, she could see the situation in half of the town. At this moment, there was a faint black evil aura floating in the town, and the evil aura above several mansions was the most concentrated, as black as ink, and was permeating the entire house.
Lianyi took a look and then jumped out of the third-floor window, heading towards the place where the evil and murderous aura was the strongest.
At this time, the entire Pan Mansion was plunged into darkness, the kind of darkness that made it impossible to see anything. A beautiful woman in a red dress raised her pale hand and gently pushed open the door covered with talisman paper.
A clang sounded into the ears of the man in the room. He didn't dare to breathe at this moment. He hid in the quilt and shivered, begging for mercy:
"Lianyue, please let me go! I know I was wrong. I was drunk at the time. Ah!!!"
As the opponent screamed, he fell heavily to the ground, rolled twice, and stopped in front of a pair of bare feet.
The man didn't care about crying out in pain, he kowtowed and said, shaking:
"Lianyue, please! For the sake of our past friendship, spare my life!"
The next moment, a cold, pale hand grabbed the man's neck and pulled him up from the ground. A cold voice came:
"Pan Wenbin, I begged you to consider our past friendship and not give me to those three beasts. What did you answer me?"
As the question was asked, the woman's feet left the ground and were suspended in the air. The rich man named Pan Wenbin also left his feet and began to struggle hard, but he did not dare to touch the hand that was holding his neck.
“No help!!!”
Unfortunately, the entire Pan Mansion was plunged into darkness and no one responded to his cry for help.
Just as Pan Wenbin rolled his eyes, he was thrown heavily to the ground.
Pan Wenbin was gasping for breath and coughing continuously. When his purple face eased a little, he kept moving backwards on the ground, as if trying to break free from Lianyue's control. He didn't even dare to look up at the other person's face.
"Master Pan, didn't you praise me for being as beautiful as a fairy and like the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens? Why don't you dare to look at me now?"
"Please, please spare me!"
Pan Wenbin kept backing away, tears streaming down his face. Finally, he hid under a round table with his head in his hands, never daring to look up.
"Haha! Do you think that if you don't look into my eyes, you won't be seduced away by your soul? You are too naive. I want you to have a taste of what it's like before death. You will definitely like it."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his pale right hand, grabbed the other person's head, and pulled out Pan Wenbin's soul. Then he threw a ball of black gas into Pan Wenbin's body, and then left Pan's house with a wild laugh.
Lianyi, who had been hiding and watching the fun, also followed the woman in red who left. She wanted to see where the other party's lair was.
Pan Wenbin, who was hiding under the table, slowly crawled out from under the table. He turned his head and limbs very stiffly. His pupils were completely black. He walked mechanically to the bed and lay down.
