Chapter 98
Thanks for a moment, the long memory is like a dusty picture, and the dust is slightly brushed away, but it is still unclear. He let go of his hand, picked up the flower, and remained silent. Huacheng also put the pen down, and slowly researched the ink aside, and said: "What's wrong?"
"..." Xie Lian smiled, "It's nothing. It's just this kind of flower, the fragrance is refreshing, I have always liked it."
It is not uncommon to offer flowers in temples. It's just that they usually offer big bouquets of red and purple flowers, or fake flowers that never fade. After a pause, Xie Lian said: "Could it be that the 'blood rain explores flowers', this is the kind of flower that is explored?"
Huacheng smiled and said: "Brother really expects things like God."
During the laughter, the two finally worked together to complete a word, and the four lines of poetry were still written. Huacheng picked it up and admired it for a moment, and seemed very satisfied, saying: "Well, not bad. Frame it."
Hearing him say "not bad", Xie Lian has choked. Hearing "framed" again, Xie Lian choked again and said, "Don't you want to hang it on the wall?" If he saw a word with Xie Lian participating in the teacher who passed away In this way, I am afraid that I will be so angry that I will deceive the corpse. Huacheng smiled and said: "No. I keep it myself, and no one will show it."
At this moment, the two suddenly heard a faint scream from outside:
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
"The Bliss is on fire!"
The inside of Qiandengguan is extremely quiet, but the five senses of the two of them are superior to ordinary people. When they heard the sound, they looked at each other quickly, and thanks for the pity, he blurted out: "It's the Bliss Square again?"
After the words were out, I felt that this "again" was a bit funny. Huacheng was not in a hurry, and he collected the words and said: "Don't worry, my brother sits here, I will go back when I go."
How could Xie Lian sit here with peace of mind and say: "I'll go with you!" He hurriedly followed, wondering in his heart: Why every time he comes, the Bliss Square has to catch fire once again? The name of the God of Plague has been confirmed again. Although it was none of his business this time, he was almost accustomed to apologizing. The two rushed back to the Bliss, and the whole street was full of smoke. The little ghosts and mobs were noisily running back and forth with buckets to put out the fire. When they saw Huacheng and Xie Lian coming, they said: "City Lord! You don't have to worry about the old man, The fire is not big, it's out!"
Huacheng said nothing, but Xie Lian breathed a sigh of relief and said warmly: "It's great! It's really hard work, everyone."
The little ghosts never expected to be thanked, not to mention the "hard work" of the city owner's friends, and they were happy when they heard it, and they all said: "It's not hard! What a big deal!" "It should be!"
Only then did Xie Lian realize that it seemed a little inappropriate for him to be hard because he was not the master here. However, since Huacheng himself didn't say it, it shouldn't hurt if he said it, so he secretly felt ashamed and didn't care. The two entered the Bliss Square and looked at the fire. It really only burned a small area, and it was an unremarkable hut in the corner. No wonder it was quickly put out.
However, after confirming this, Xie Lian became vigilant and said to Huacheng: "The arsonist is neither ignorant and daring to play a prank, nor does he really want to burn anything, it is more like to divert attention and turn everyone's attention. all attracted."
But, at this juncture, what kind of attention would you want to divert?
Suddenly, Xie Lian reacted: "That fetal spirit!"
When they came out of the Bliss Square before, after walking for a long time, the fetal spirit was still crying, and the cry was harsh and sharp, and it called mother from time to time. And now, the sound has disappeared!
They went to a side hall outside the Hall of Bliss to check. When the two came out, Huacheng put the pottery pot containing the fetal spirit on a case, and the pottery pot was still there, but when Xie Lian picked it up, he felt that the weight was wrong, too light. Open it again, and sure enough, there is nothing inside!
That seal, the things that are locked in the jar can't be opened by themselves. Xie Lian immediately said: "The fetal spirit was released."
Huacheng did not have a trace of chaos, saying: "It was stolen by someone. That thing passed through the butterfly array, and now the vitality is badly injured, and he can't run far."
Thanks for the pity: "That's easy to handle. Saburo, do you have guards monitoring the entry and exit of the Bliss Square? Let's see if you can find suspicious people."
Huacheng said: "No."
"..." Xie Lian blinked and said, "No?"
Huacheng Road: "Well. It has never been."
It's no wonder that the last time he secretly made small moves in the Bliss Square, he didn't see a single guard. Xie Lian also thought about whether it was because the ambush was too deep that he didn't find it, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Huacheng Road: "Brother, have you noticed the door in Bliss Square?"
After thinking about it, Xie Lian said: "I never noticed it. Could it be something special?"
Huacheng Road: "Not bad."
He pointed to the door of this side hall and said, "If it wasn't for the owner of this room, and without permission, he took away the people who were originally inside, or things that didn't belong to him, even if there was only one thing, he would not be able to open the door. , trapped in that room."
Xie Lian recalled that the last time he came to the Bliss, he seemed to be using dice to clear the way, and when he finally left, it was the wind master who had a strong wind and lifted the roof, which prevented him from leaving from the "door". These are some more violent pictures. The more I think about thanking them, the more I feel that I can't think about it, and I feel slightly ashamed. After a pause, he asked again: "Then if Saburo, you stole a magic weapon from me, and received it from the Bliss, as the original owner of the magic weapon, wouldn't I be able to take it away?"
Huacheng raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course I can't take it away. It's mine when I get it. However, brother, don't wrong me, I won't rob your magic weapon."
Xie Lian coughed lightly and said: "That's natural, of course I know that, so I said it was a hypothetical. And...I don't have any magic weapon that can be robbed..."
Huacheng stopped joking, smiled, and continued: "So, it is impossible to steal from me without being discovered. Of course, there is no need for guards."
Xie Lian's first reaction was that the person who stole the fetal spirit did not leave the door, but used other methods. But looking around, the roof of this side hall is good, the ground is good, the walls are good, there is no trace of being broken at all, and I can't help but give birth to a more strange guess:
Could it be that the person who stole the fetal spirit did not leave and is still in this side hall?
Although there is no hiding place in this side hall, there are many ways to hide from heaven and earth. Maybe that person is near them at the moment, quietly watching their every move. Xie Lian looked around, paying attention to whether the air was abnormally distorted somewhere. However, both his eyes and his intuition were telling him that there was no third person or ghost here. I am afraid that his thinking is wrong, and I am afraid that he has to think in a different direction. At this time, Huacheng smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry. I have a way to find the person who stole the fetal spirit."
He was actually quite confident. Xie pity turned to him, thought for a moment, and suddenly became enlightened.
The two waited. After a while, the noise gradually approached, and a large group of monsters and ghosts rushed over. Wu Yangyang gathered outside the side hall, saying: "City Lord, what is your order for the old man to ask us!"
There are nearly a thousand of them. If it weren't for the large enough house and yard, I'm afraid it wouldn't fit at all. It was the masked man who brought them here. He said to Huacheng: "City Lord, everyone who has appeared on this street today should be all here. The ghost market has also been locked, and no one can go out."
It was still the voice of the young man last time, Xie Lian couldn't help but glance at him again. The group of ghosts said: "City Lord, who set the fire, have you caught it?"
"I heard that I also stole something! Either I'm tired of living or I want to die again!"
"What a daring man. Whoever sets fire and steals things, dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, can the city master let him go?!"
"..."
Although the group of ghosts was not talking about him, Xie Lian, as a person who burned down a house in Bliss Square last time, robbed people secretly, and was let go by Huacheng, listened to the feeling of countless arrows, coughed lightly, and felt in his heart. More and more apologetic, I took a peek at Huacheng, and when I happened to hit Huacheng, I glanced at him inexplicably, and my eyes quickly escaped. Next, just listen to Huacheng in a low voice: "The person who stole the fetal spirit stood up by himself. Don't waste my time."
The group of ghosts were startled and said, "Among us?"
"I thought it was from outside..."
"Who, hurry up and stand up!"
After a while, the uproar had subsided, but no one stood up. Huacheng Road: "Very good, really brave. Men are left and women are right, and they are divided."
Although the group of ghosts was strange, they did not dare to disobey Huacheng's words. They immediately did as he said, and they were divided into two large piles. The male ghosts are crowded on the left, with rough voices; the female ghosts are all on the right, almost all of them are slender and charming. Huacheng and Xie Lian glanced at each other, walked straight to the right, and watched the flowers among the female ghosts, almost swept over ten of them at a glance. After a few steps, he paused slightly when he passed by a female ghost. This female ghost was wearing a long skirt, with a thick layer of white powder on her face. It was so white that she could hardly see her true face, but the overly gorgeous and exaggerated makeup was a little familiar. She thanked her and said, "Miss Lanchang?"
The female ghost was stunned, as if she had just seen a ghost. Sure enough, it was Lan Chang, the female ghost who entangled Xie Lian on the streets of the ghost city, scolded the pig butcher in the street last time, and laughed at him for "doing nothing" and preached it to all the ghosts.
After she was astonished, she put on her hips and raised her head, "Why? You said it yourself! I didn't wrong you! Is it possible that the city lord would like to show me some color to take revenge?"
Although the female ghosts and banshees around were a little nervous, they still laughed softly after hearing her say that. Huacheng also came over. Although he couldn't see his expression, the female ghost Lan Chang was still a little afraid of him, and he didn't dare to be too awkward. Xie Lian said warmly: "That kind of joke, it's okay for the girl to say what she likes. However, the fetal spirit is very bloody and can't be let go. Please come back first."
Even though Lan Chang applied a very thick powder, it could be seen that her complexion was even whiter. She backed up again and again, but at this time she was among a group of female ghosts, and before she took a few steps back, she was caught by the female ghosts next to her, preventing the possibility of escaping, so she had to shout, "I didn't know you were there. Say what! What fetal spirit?"
Thanks for the pity: "Please come back."
Lan Chang said: "What else do I have? I don't have it! You said that I stole something from the city owner's house, but everyone knows that you can't take things from the city owner's house, and you can't get out of anything!"
The group of ghosts said yes, yes, they all knew that the pig butcher was also shouting. Lan Chang said again: "The fire in the Bliss Square was just a while ago. I have been on this street and never left. If I stole something, I must have not had time to hide it, right?" He was empty-handed and pulled up his skirt to signal that he wasn't hiding anything. Xie Lian said: "Girl, the last time I saw you, in the cold wind, you wore very little. Today's wind is sunny, why are you wearing a long skirt instead? You suddenly want to change clothes, Or what are you trying to hide?"
After listening to him, the group of ghosts discovered that on weekdays, Lan Chang was all exposed, and Xie Lian said that she "dressed very little", which is already a very polite statement, and she almost showed her breasts on the street. Today, she is wearing a long skirt, covering her waist and legs tightly, which is really strange. Moreover, Huacheng took Xie Lian to the ghost market before, and when the group of ghosts coaxed and delivered side dishes, they did not see Lan Chang, who used to love to scold on the street and dazzled the streets, actively promoting "it's not me who can't do it", and there was a slight commotion. Xie Lian said slowly: "You didn't take anything that didn't belong to you, you just took a part of yourself. That fetal spirit is now in your womb!"
Since the person who stole the fetal spirit did not leave in any other way, and did not stay in the side hall, then there is only one possibility left: this person left the main entrance in an open and fair manner.
If this fetal spirit has been born, then he is a child, an independent person. However, this fetal spirit was forcibly dissected out of the mother's body when it was not full-term, so if its mother stuffed it back into her belly, it would of course be her "own thing". No, it should be said that the fetal spirit is simply a piece of flesh on her body, a part of her. After all, the blood of mother and child is thicker than water. In this case, they are one body. Of course, the female ghost can walk out of all the doors of the Bliss Square in an open and honest way.
Therefore, the one who stole the fetal spirit must be the female ghost, the biological mother of the fetal spirit. Quickly block the ghost city, and find all the female ghosts who appeared on the street before and after the fire, and you will be able to catch them. Come to think of it, these Huacheng thought about it the moment they entered the side hall.
Suddenly, Lan Chang screamed and covered her stomach with both hands.
