Chapter 184: Apprentice vs. Immortal (61)
A pale face was revealed, and the eyeballs that should have been black were white. There were not many wrinkles on his face. There was a faint candlelight behind him, and his face was a little wary.
The old woman opened the door for them so easily without even asking. The villager in front of them refused to open the door.
How did she survive here for so long after doing such a dangerous thing?
Yu Ying looked at her and shook his head. He guessed that it was because of the advantage of the location, far away from other villagers, that the evil spirits were too lazy to come here because of the lack of popularity.
"Are you really immortals?"
She blinked her hollow eyes and reached forward tentatively.
Qin Yun'er immediately reached out to catch her, fearing that she would fall.
She felt the warmth of Qin Yun'er's palm, and a look of joy appeared on her face. "It's warm, it looks like it's really a living person."
Yu Ying: ...
"Come in."
The woman quickly made way so that Qin Yun'er could enter the house.
"Thank you very much."
Qin Yun'er turned to look at Yu Ying behind her, "Brother Yu, come in too."
Yu Ying nodded silently, and the two of them entered the house and the woman closed the door.
Yu Ying looked around the room. The tables, chairs, and benches had their edges smoothed out, as if to prevent the woman from bumping into anything. This showed how much care he took for her.
Qin Yun'er also saw all of this and sat on the bench in silence.
The woman closed the door and walked into the inner room with her crutch, the crutch making a "tapping" sound on the ground.
As she walked, she said, "Wait a moment, Immortal. I'll get you some food."
Qin Yun'er stopped her and said, "No need, mother-in-law. We are just here to inquire about the situation in the village and will be leaving soon."
The woman stopped and said, "Okay."
She turned around and sat on a bench, telling the two of them everything she knew.
The two looked at each other and it seemed to be true as what the village chief said.
Although they are here to help eliminate evil spirits, they must be cautious and guard against wrong information while obtaining information. There have been cases before where people seeking help helped evil spirits, resulting in heavy casualties.
Qin Yun'er talked to the woman in a familiar manner, and her gentle and soft voice made people trust her easily.
Especially since she had already stated that she was a monk, she gained the woman's trust.
Qin Yun'er saw that the time was right and asked, "Is your daughter coveted by anyone?"
The woman was stunned when she heard this, and the smile on her face faded, as if she was offended by her rudeness.
Qin Yun'er clenched her hands nervously, she was too anxious.
Yu Ying saw her little movements and scratched his head in confusion. He wanted to know why not just search her soul, but it would be a little harmful to the woman's body.
The woman was silent for a while, her white eyes staring straight ahead, her brows furrowed, as if she was struggling.
Just when Qin Yun'er was feeling anxious, she finally said a name, "Zhao Fu."
Qin Yuner's eyes lit up. She had gained something and the trip was not in vain.
"Do you know where he lives?"
The woman didn't understand, but still told her the location.
Qin Yun'er chatted with her for a while before finding an excuse to leave.
Yu Ying walked up to her, confused, unable to hide his puzzled look, "Junior Sister, why are you looking for this person?"
Qin Yun'er strode forward, ignoring him completely.
Yu Ying stopped asking questions and just acted as a guard, silently protecting her safety.
We came to a dilapidated house with no yard. The simple house was extremely shabby.
She walked forward and pushed the door open. To her surprise, it opened with just one push.
The room was dark, and she suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
She walked in quickly, scanned the room, and saw no one. She walked into the inner room and stopped immediately.
On the mud kang, a shriveled corpse lay quietly, its eyeballs bulging and its expression ferocious and terrified.
She walked closer and took a closer look, and found that he had been dead for some time.
The woman probably didn't know that he was dead, otherwise she wouldn't have come.
Yu Ying also followed. He raised his eyebrows in curiosity, turned his wrist, and a cluster of blue fire burned in the palm of his hand.
After waiting for a long time without any movement, he retracted the flame and smiled at Qin Yun'er, "There are no soul fragments left."
Qin Yun'er guessed it. After all, he was killed by the evil spirit that hated him the most, so his soul must have been swallowed up as well.
She turned back and asked the woman again if there was anyone else. The woman was silent for a long time and only gave a name.
Qin Yun'er asked anxiously, "Is there nothing else?"
She didn't want to go back again.
The woman thought for a long time, then nodded hesitantly.
Qin Yun'er rushed to the man's house again. It was the first time she was so looking forward to meeting someone.
The result still disappointed her. There was a corpse lying quietly on the bed.
She pursed her lips silently. Seeing this, Yu Ying patted her shoulder and whispered a few words of comfort to her.
A light flashed in her eyes. It was not without gain. At least their deaths made Yu He more suspicious.
After all, the village chief said that only a dozen villagers had died, and there were only more than 200 people in the village, and these two were all dead.
She stood there quietly, looking at his shriveled face, then suddenly turned and left. Yu Ying hurried to follow.
Qin Yun'er stopped in front of the most luxurious courtyard in the village. The house was luxurious and beautiful, and there were all kinds of exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard, which seemed to be untied and looked quite messy.
Qin Yun'er looked at the luxurious courtyard. If she guessed correctly, this should be the county magistrate's home.
She easily entered the courtyard and knocked on the door. "Is the county magistrate here? We are monks sent by the sect to eliminate evil and learn about the situation in the village."
No one opened the door, and Qin Yuner frowned. She was about to break in when she heard a trembling voice coming from inside.
"Really? Show me some magic power first, or I won't open the door."
Then the door opened a crack, and a frightened eye appeared in the crack, staring at Qin Yun'er with caution and fear.
Yu Ying: What a smart guy!
Seeing this, Qin Yun'er's spiritual power surged at her fingertips, and a cluster of flames suddenly appeared, swaying in the wind.
The man was relieved after seeing this and quickly opened the door, "It really is an immortal."
A middle-aged man with a pale face appeared. His clothes were low-key and gorgeous, which showed that he was of high status. However, his face looked a little haggard and tired, and his eyes were dark blue.
Next to him stood a woman, also dressed in exquisite clothes, but in very poor condition.
When they saw Qin Yun'er, they forced a smile and said, "Please come in and sit down, Immortal."
Qin Yun'er walked in and sat down, and the couple also sat on a chair beside them.
The county magistrate bowed to her.
"Greetings, my name is Lin Kuo. I wonder what you would like to know? I will tell you everything I know."
Qin Yuner asked a familiar question again, and received the same answer as the village chief and the woman before. She then turned her eyes away.
"Can I meet my daughter-in-law? Her name is very nice. I have always loved calligraphy and I want to give her a handwritten piece myself."
Qin Yun'er made up a reason, but her handwriting was indeed beautiful, so it couldn't be considered as cheating them.
The couple's expressions changed subtly, which was keenly caught by Qin Yun'er.
