Chapter 797 Encountering a Ghost on the Road
"Why did you think of using an off-road vehicle to go on the road instead of flying?" Yue'er, who was beside Qin Heqing and moved along the official road with him, wondered.
"Isn't it because we still don't know the whereabouts of Song Yongxiu? Even if we rush there ahead of time, we don't know where to go. Rather than that, it's better to walk slowly and enjoy the customs of this era." Qin Heqing looked at There was a desolation in front of him, except for the mountain and the road with trees, he said with a twitching corner of his mouth.
As far as this scenery is concerned, Qin Heqing was enough to see it in less than an hour after leaving Igain.
But there is no way. After all, a carriage or something, without the shock absorbing facilities of later generations, is really not something that a delicate and expensive young meat like him can bear.
In addition, there was no substitute for the driver, so even if they were bored, Qin Heqing had to be patient and drive slowly.
"Hehe..." Yue'er sneered, but didn't believe a word of what he said.
"It's up to you, I'm not the one who suffers anyway." Yue'er said, then disappeared into the air.
"Come on, Ayukawa, take us to fly." Seeing this, Qin Heqing stopped pretending, parked the car by the side of the road, put it away, and turned to Ayukawa who was beside him.
Immediately, Ayukawa didn't hesitate, wrapped him and Fenghua with jade sticks with telekinetic power, got up and flew to Yamato Kingdom.
...
After flying for a long time, Qin Heqing and his party flew over Yu Tuo County, which has a large mountain range and is completely uninhabitable for human beings, and entered Chengxia County, which only has Jinwu—that is, Japanese-style bungalows without a city (city wall). Stopped in the Jinya cluster.
"Find a place to eat here first, and then go north to Nara." Qin Heqing said to the people around him.
Of course, on the bright side, there is only the jade lottery Fenghua, and the others are still in a spiritual state, unable to be seen by ordinary people.
"There seems to be a situation over there." At this time, as long as you don't take the initiative to talk, Yuzhu Fenghua, who almost never interrupts to express opinions under normal circumstances, suddenly pointed to a place not far away where many people gathered.
"Something must have happened." Qin Heqing said uncertainly.
But it doesn't matter, it's not two steps anyway, just go over and ask, won't you know?
Qin Heqing thought so, and did the same. Without hesitation, he walked over with the jade stick Fenghua.
"Brother, what happened here?" Qin Heqing asked curiously, patting the shoulder of a man beside him.
"Who?!" The man who was photographed was startled and turned to look at him. However, after seeing Qin Heqing's clothes, he immediately softened and replied cautiously, "Go back to my lord, this family is dead."
"Dead? Is there a need for so many people to watch the dead? Or is this the custom on your side?" Qin Heqing asked puzzled.
"If it was an ordinary dead person, naturally so many people would not come here. Isn't it strange that this woman died, so although everyone was afraid in their hearts, they still couldn't hold back their curiosity and wanted to come over to see what was going on." The man explained with a smile.
Then through his explanation, Qin and Qing also roughly figured out what happened here.
The family where the person died was a wealthy businessman. Although he was not the kind of wealthy businessman who could affect the economy of a country, or even attract the attention of nobles, he was somewhat famous among the businessmen in Chengxia County, and his personality was not too high. He is too mean, so he is somewhat popular in this Jinya settlement. If anyone has something short, or wants to buy some special items, he will come to the store opened by his family to purchase and order.
However, unexpectedly, the well-behaved concubine of the boss died suddenly...
According to the normal situation, it is normal for someone to die. In this terrible age where there is no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and looting by bandits and riots at every turn, who hasn't died yet?
But the most important thing is that the death of the master's concubine is extremely miserable! It is said that he had a big belly when he died! It seems to be pregnant with a child for four or five months...
But the reality is that this concubine was not pregnant, but was stuffed with various sundries.
There was food, clothes, flowers, sawdust, and even some human and animal excrement. In short, everything was in a mess, as if it was forced into it by people until it was strangled to death.
So everyone began to wonder if the family had done something wrong and encountered a ghost.
"I see, thank you." Qin Heqing thanked.
"My lord, you are polite." The man responded nervously.
Immediately Qin Heqing walked away with the jade stick Fenghua, and gave an order to Aichuan in the dark, "Aichuan, go and see what's going on."
"OK."
Then Ayukawa left and sneaked into the merchant's house...
And returned a moment later.
"How?" Qin Heqing asked curiously.
"It should be ghosts that harm people." Ayukawa replied.
"Then did you see the remaining ghosts?"
Ayukawa shook his head.
"Well, let's stay overnight at his house today to see if we can solve the problems their family encountered." Qin Heqing thought for a while.
It just so happened that he didn't know where he was going to eat later, and now he could take this opportunity to live in the merchant's house, solve the problem of accommodation and meals, and hunt down ghosts at the same time.
After that, Qin Heqing did not hesitate, and walked into the merchant's house with a jade lotus Fenghua dressed as a witch.
"My lord, our family is doing white things. If you need anything, please wait until the master's business is over before coming." A male servant from the merchant's house came over and greeted.
"I know, I'm here for your family's affairs." Qin Heqing waved his hand to stop the servant's words and said calmly, "Go and call your master over."
"Yes, please wait a moment, my lord." The manservant glanced at Qin Heqing, and at Qin Heqing's side, who was not from an ordinary family. After a moment of hesitation, he still responded respectfully, and returned to the back room. His master was called out.
"Hello, my lord. I am the owner of the small shop, Otafang. I don't know what your name is, my lord?" The visitor was in his forties, wearing a gray old-fashioned kimono, and greeted him with a respectful and vigilant expression.
"I'm Qin Heqing, and this is my exclusive witch. I just heard from people outside that your family may have encountered a ghost. I happened to pass by here, and I came to take a look with the idea of warding off disasters. If it is true, I will I will help you solve it, if it is fake, it will make your family feel at ease." Qin Heqing took on the posture of the priest of the later generation, and said with a bit of a superior attitude.
"That's really great, Mr. Qin, please come inside." Taitian Fang immediately shouted with joy when he heard the words.
Immediately without hesitation, he invited Qin Heqing to the back room, and soon saw the body of the concubine who had been rumored to be evil by outsiders.
Indeed, as Ayukawa found out, there is a kind of yin energy left in the whole body that is different from that born when a normal person dies, full of a kind of resentment, and the condition of the corpse is also very bad, with a hideous expression , There was also a big hole in the stomach, flesh and blood, a look of exploding from the inside out, all kinds of undigested and indigestible things filled the cavity, and as the body fluid fermented, it emitted a disgusting smell. breath.
And this is still good, after all, it is the beginning of spring, the weather is still a little cold, and the corpse is not decaying quickly, if it is summer, the smell...
Qin Heqing glanced at the jade stick Fenghua beside him, and after seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, he said to Taitianfang, "It's too bad, your concubine was indeed killed by a ghost."
"Ah! This..." In an instant, Otafang's expression turned ugly.
It's okay to die, encounter ghosts?
This is not this era, or what no one wants to see.
Now is not like the later generations, the traffic is developed, even if there is a problem, you can call the right person to help, now?
They can only resist stubbornly, and then pray that the ghost will not come, but the whole family will come, until it is certain that the ghost will not appear again.
Of course, that refers to normal circumstances. As for the moment, he doesn't have to worry so much.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Lord Qin." Tai Tian Fang said with a respectful face.
