Chapter 6 We work together better
Xiao Yu was suddenly startled, and Xu Chuchu directly drew out her peach wood sword, ready to fight at any time.
With the hilt of the sword in hand, a sudden chilly wind blew and the candlelight flickered.
A long black shadow suddenly appeared between the two of them, so strange that it made people's scalps tingle.
No, ghosts don't have shadows! Only living people do!
“Be careful!”
Xiao Yu reacted incredibly quickly. He pushed Xu Chuchu away with his folding fan, turned around and kicked the wooden chair over, and took the attack from the figure.
He then took advantage of the situation to grab a handful of incense ash beside him and threw it at the figure, taking the opportunity to hit the figure's back, waist and legs three times in a row, subduing the figure to the ground.
The movements were so fast that Xu Chuchu could hardly see them.
You wouldn't have guessed that this young man, who usually pretends to be so impressive, actually has some skills.
"Candles." Xiao Yu ordered.
Xu Chuchu quickly brought the candle over, and together with Xiao Yu, they saw clearly the person who had just been eavesdropping and was now attacking them.
He was an ordinary young man, his hands subdued by Xiao Yu, and he was still struggling.
Before the female corpse came out to cause trouble, the living people could no longer hold back and took the opportunity to attack.
A thick wooden board fell beside him, which was obviously the weapon used to attack Xu Chuchu just now.
Xu Chuchu had never seen this person before, but Xiao Yu recognized him immediately.
"I was wondering who was eavesdropping, and it turns out it was the youngest son of the Fang family." Xiao Yu chuckled, obviously having known someone was coming. "He was able to kill his entire family without making a sound, and then pretend nothing happened and live his life peacefully. He really has some skills."
His voice grew increasingly stern as he spoke, "So, you felt guilty and evaded surveillance, then returned to the crime scene late at night. When you heard we'd found you out as the murderer, you couldn't contain yourself and decided to kill and silence us?!"
Xiao Yu originally thought that this man would be angry and embarrassed when his true feelings were exposed, and was prepared for him to violently resist.
Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly collapsed and was pressed to the ground powerlessly, with tears streaming from his eyes.
"Please..." He said in a trembling voice, "Please, I don't care, just let her go."
Xu Chuchu was not too surprised, but Xiao Yu looked incredulous.
"What did you say?" he immediately asked, "Let who go?"
At this time, he still believed that the movement of the coffin was just a trick by the murderer to divert attention. Could there really be something dirty inside?
The youngest son gritted his teeth and begged, "You all know, don't you?... And you still want to take her in? Please, don't. She suffered enough in her life..."
Before Xiao Yu could continue to question, the thing in the coffin seemed to have heard what his youngest son said, and suddenly began to shake violently again!
Xu Chuchu stopped trembling, sneered, gripped the peach wood sword tightly, and kicked the coffin lid.
"Mr. Xiao, please continue to control this man and don't let him escape!" She pinched the yellow talisman with two fingers and used the spiritual power to attack directly into the coffin!
The coffin lid fell off, and pungent gray smoke came out from inside, which instantly condensed into a human shape. It was the soul of the eldest daughter-in-law.
"Five stars suppress the light, illuminating the dark. Thousands of gods and saints, protect my true spirit. The five heavenly demons will perish, and wherever they are, all gods will welcome them. Hurry and obey the command!"
Xu Chuchu chanted a spell, and the yellow talisman suddenly burst into golden light, hitting the dead soul like a sharp blade.
The ghost originally only had the shadowy form of a woman, but after being possessed by the yellow talisman, its true form was revealed. It turned out to be a monster with green skin and long hair. Its facial features were blurred, its head was flat, its body was thin and withered, and it had only a big bloody mouth that kept roaring.
Xu Chuchu had already developed the ability to see ghosts, and had seen all sorts of ugly ghosts with broken arms and legs, and only half a face. He was not surprised at all, but Xiao Yu and the youngest son of the Fang family were both stunned.
One was surprised that there really were wronged souls in the world, and the other was seeing the true form of his sister-in-law's ghost for the first time.
When the female ghost saw her youngest son's shocked expression, she became even more angry and rushed straight towards Xu Chuchu.
"You still don't repent!" Xu Chuchu recited the incantation silently and used the peach wood sword to strike.
She had lost her cultivation, but her moves were still there, and she focused her spiritual energy on the blade and attacked continuously.
This female ghost had just become a virtual soul and had not yet started to absorb people's essence. Once she became a fierce ghost, she would only harm people secretly. Facing an experienced fortune teller like Xu Chuchu, she had no power to fight back at all.
Every time she scratched a ghost, she let out a sharp scream of pain, and her facial features became more and more congested, terrifying and disgusting.
"Support Liujia on the left, and guard Liuding on the right. Kill the evil spirit first, then cut off Ye Guang!" Xu Chuchu used his last move, "Evil spirit, give me your life!"
"No, don't hurt her!" The Fang family's youngest son suddenly struggled violently. "I did it all, I did it! It has nothing to do with her!"
Xiao Yu would never let him get up, and held him down tightly: "Don't worry about it, continue to capture ghosts!"
When the ghost heard his companion's shout, he did not avoid it at all and went straight towards Xu Chuchu's sword.
The ghost body passed through the sword, emitting billowing black smoke, and then rushed towards Xiao Yu without stopping!
Xu Chuchu realized its intention and exclaimed, "Xiao, get out of the way! She wants to save people!"
Xiao Yu was quite courageous. Even though it was his first time seeing the true form of the female ghost, he was not afraid at all. He managed to subdue the youngest son of the Fang family to the ground and let the female ghost rush towards him!
Xu Chuchu was unable to rescue her in time, but saw a flash of golden light. Before the female ghost could hit Xiao Yu, she was bounced away and fell heavily onto a pillar beside her.
She hurried forward, thrust the peach wood sword into the ghost girl's shoulder, and stuck the tip of the sword into her coffin, forcing her to be unable to move. Finally, together with Xiao Yu, she subdued the uncle and sister-in-law who had been helping each other.
Xiao Yu also quickly tied up his youngest son tightly with a rope.
"One of you attacked the fortune teller when he heard he was going to capture a ghost. The other attacked the constable when he heard he was going to confess." His face turned cold. "You two really have a deep bond between humans and ghosts."
"The division of labor is quite reasonable." Xu Chuchu also praised it with ease. "The men sneak attack the fortune teller, and the female ghost sneak attack the constable. They each play to their strengths."
"What a pity." She raised her head proudly, "We have better coordination here. Oh? Master Xiao?"
Xiao Yu ignored her, and Xu Chuchu snorted in anger.
"Tell me." Xiao Yu sat down calmly. "When did you two start hooking up? Which of you attacked the three members of the Fang family, or did you conspire to commit the murder? Tell us the truth now, and we can still let you off."
At this time, he seemed to have easily accepted the existence of the female ghost. Not only did he accept it, he was also able to interrogate her. His strong adaptability made Xu Chuchu sigh.
The female ghost wailed, and the youngest son of the Fang family held back his tears and sighed.
"At first, I really wanted to stop my parents from doing that superstitious and harmful thing." He finally spoke slowly. "The first time I saw them pinning my sister-in-law down and bleeding her, I was terrified and wanted to stop her. But they told me that they only did it that one time to save my brother, and they wouldn't do it again. I believed them and even persuaded my sister-in-law to just endure it..."
