Chapter 6 – The Ghost In The Wealthy Businessman’s Mansion In Yi’an City

Xia Zhiheng leaned over beside the corpse, and it turned out to be the male ghost he saw, and the headless female corpse next to him was the owner of the head he was holding.

However, there was an object covered by a shaming cloth next to the corpse. Xia Zhiheng gently pinched a corner with his fingers and lifted the cloth a little. It was a woman’s head, but it looked good, with bright makeup and powder. The earrings are luxurious, and it should be Miss Liu’s head.

Ning Bei continued “According to what Miss Liu’s maid said, Miss Liu once liked that servant and had been intimate with him for a while, so this servant thought he had a chance to hook up with Miss Liu, and began to ask for all kinds of things, precious jewelry, and golds.

Later this matter was discovered by Liu Fushang, who threatened to kill the servant if such a scandal happened again. In the back, a piece of Miss Liu’s jewelry was stolen and later found on the dead maid, and the maid was severely punished.

In the end, Miss Liu didn’t expect that the servant and the maid had hooked up at some point. Miss Liu was so angry that she punished both of them, but there was no dispute after that and then the manservant and maid resigned to go back to their hometown together ”
This set of rhetoric is very suitable for the explanation that can be given as a personal maid. It made them feel like the maid said to excuse and protect the reputation of their deceased young lady, to show that she was not a woman who will mix with a low-level servant and die.

Xia Zhiheng asked curiously, “How was Miss Liu’s temperament?”

When Ning Bei heard what he said, he smiled and said, ” She is arrogant, and even her father can’t control her impatient temper.”

After a person dies, the transformed ghost cannot speak, and this malicious spirit improves its cultivation by sucking the soul of a person, and after sucking the soul, they disappear.

Didn’t it swallow the two servants?

Xia Zhiheng pondered.

The reason why Spirit Subduing Mountain is named so is that it is a famous tomb mountain with many ghosts floating on it. To prevent them from going down the mountain to do evil, every dead person in every household will pay some folk Taoist priests to plant requiem flags.

And the soul of the man also ran there, probably because he wanted to rely on the requiem flag of others to reincarnate.

Ordinary ghosts can’t hurt people. They can only attach to people’s bodies to bring bad luck or nightmares to them. Generally, they are easily taken care of by asking Taoists to disperse them.

Like the ghosts that Xia Zhiheng met after the inn, they were usually old fritters in the ghost world. They ran out when the gate of ghosts was wide open, and then they made fun of people in the world if they didn’t go back, but their end was very simple. If they are captured, they will be destroyed by the Immortals and Taoists.

Malicious spirits are another kind of ghost, usually, because their resentment is too deep to be reincarnated, and at the same time, they are very strong and know how to absorb people’s living or dead souls to improve their cultivation to make themselves deified.
Some ghosts and immortals are also made this way.

Jiang Wulu said to the person in charge of the mansion: “Bury the two of them in Soul Subduing Mountain, otherwise they may come out and cause trouble.”

He frowned slightly, this appearance made the steward think that it was very difficult at this time, and he quickly responded in a panic, asking someone to carry the body away, it is best to reach the Soul Subduing Mountain now.

“Go and think about it.” Jiang Wulu said to Ning Bei.

He scratched his head embarrassedly. At this moment, he just felt that something was wrong, so it would be better to run away quickly.

And Xia Zhiheng was still squatting on the ground with his head buried in thought.

Those who don’t know will think he’s playing with sand.

Jiang Wulu squatted beside him expressionlessly and said, “What do you want to ask?”

Xia Zhiheng glanced at him in surprise, then looked back and said, ” Immortal Venerable, your clothes will get dirty.”

“Well…don’t worry about these little things.”

“Okay.” Xia Zhiheng said immediately, “I’m thinking about where the ghosts in this mansion come from. Don’t they all say ‘The way of heaven is good for reincarnation, and whoever is forgiven by heaven their karma is not bad at all?”

“Then do you think this ghost is a result of something that Miss Liu once did?”

Xia Zhiheng nodded, stared at the stone on the ground, and said, “That couple must be in love with each other, but with Miss Liu’s involvement, they decided to resign and return to their hometown together.”

Jiang Wulu recognized it: “The mountain road they went back to is not difficult to walk. It should be that the ghost appeared to frighten them, and they fell.”

But why did this malicious spirit want to change their heads?

“I think Miss Liu is very good-looking. Logically speaking, there should be a lot of people pursuing her. Why does she want to be with a servant?” Xia Zhiheng said, “Is there something she wants in that man?”
“Well… it should be nothing.” Jiang Wulu said slowly, “The only possibility is… It is said that Miss Liu likes things from the giant sun.”

Xia Zhiheng: “…”

He is fourteen this year, but that doesn’t mean he does not understand….certain things….
So he coughed dryly and continued to think.

Generally speaking, the meaning of changing heads is the exchange of identities, but why did Li Gui let them exchange their identities?

Xia Zhiheng said: “immortal venerable, what is the relationship between the maid and Master Liu?”

Jiang Wulu knew what he was guessing, and said: “The maid’s life experience is very innocent, and the two have no identities to be exchanged.”

“All right.”

Then Xia Zhiheng thought about it for a long time under Jiang Wulu’s eager gaze, and finally felt embarrassed, so he hesitated: ” Immortal Venerable … let’s stand up.”

If the Immortal Venerable does not stand, he does not dare to stand.

And why does he think this Immortal Venerable is a little weird?

Jiang Wulu stood up calmly and said: “Then go back first.”

He didn’t feel embarrassed in the slightest that he had just been staring at someone else.

Xia Zhiheng only felt that he had also relaxed a lot, so he braced his legs and tried to stand up, but suddenly his eyes went dark, he couldn’t see the road in a daze, and his legs were a little numb, so he fell directly to one side.

‘ It’s over, I’m going to lose face and lose my hair. ‘

He fell into the arms of a fragrant body, which was Jiang Wulu’s.

” No, I’m sorry, Immortal Venerable, I couldn’t see the road.” Xia Zhiheng stood up quickly and waved his hands in panic.

There was a glimmer of joy in Jiang Wulu’s eyes, and he said with a smile, “It’s nothing.” After speaking, he walked forward.

Xia Zhiheng stood there, suspecting that he had seen it wrong.

　” Immortal Venerable, has everyone in this manor asked? Where did Master Liu go?” He chased after him.

“He was seriously ill for two days because of this incident. Both of his sons went out to do business, and the other ladies also went out to ward off evil spirits because of this incident. Only the eldest lady, the biological mother of Miss Liu, is still worshipping her daughter.”

Xia Zhiheng said in surprise: “Worshipping The Judge?”

　　Jiang Wulu nodded.
