Chapter 376

The state of the columbarium is different from usual.

Although every time his friend is mentioned, this guy looks a little sad and melancholy.

But it was the first time that he was depressed like this time.

Kong Ning went downstairs to eat something to fill his stomach, and while sitting in the lobby of the inn listening to the guests chatting and gossip, Cai Wei also secretly told Kong Ning what happened in the past three days.

In addition to the weirdness in the imperial city, Caiwei also told Kong Ning about several deaths that occurred in the city. It is said that the death was extremely tragic and the government had no clues.

And something wrong with the columbarium...

"Two nights ago, Uncle Gu suddenly said that he felt her breath."

"Then I didn't say a word, I just stood on the window sill, I don't know what I was thinking, and I didn't talk to it when I talked to it."

"For the past two days, it has been silent and in a daze."

"Occasionally when I talk to myself, I blame myself very much for saying strange things."

"What [it's all my fault], [it was all my fault at the beginning], [will definitely save you]... and so on."

Kong Ning went downstairs to eat, and the columbarium, who has always been with Kong Ning every step of the way, did not follow this time, and stayed alone in the room.

Caiwei took the opportunity to tell: "Master, that friend of Uncle Gu's, isn't he still dead?"

Kong Ning was slightly silent, shook his head and said, "Maybe only it knows..."

The friend in the columbarium can make it care so much, the two of them are definitely not ordinary friends.

It was the first time for Kong Ning to see the columbarium so depressed.

But for Kong Ning, he has no time to take care of the columbarium's private affairs at this time.

For three days and three nights in a coma, Kong Ning felt empty in his heart.

It's like forgetting something very important.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember what dreams he had in the past three days.

He only felt that as soon as he closed his eyes, he opened them not long after...

Outside, the sky is gloomy and the autumn wind is bleak.

Since the torrential rain three days ago, the sky in the entire capital city has been overcast with no sunlight at all.

Although the torrential rain lasted only one day and night, the gloomy sky and the bleak autumn wind caused the temperature in the city to drop very quickly.

It's almost as cold as early winter.

Many travelers even put on thick winter clothes.

When people in the inn were discussing, they were mostly complaining about the sudden change in the weather.

As for the death of the seventeenth prince, there was not much discussion.

After all, there are already too many princes who died in the royal family. The people in the capital are numb and don't think it's so strange.

It's just a bold guess about how long the eighteenth prince can live.

Kong Ning listened for a while after eating, but he couldn't hear anything new, so he got up and left.

Going out to find out.

As Caiwei said, Kong Ning was concerned about the strange murders that occurred in the past three days.

Because the deceased in one of the murder cases was very strange.

It is said that after Wu Zuo dug open the skin, he found fish scales under the skin...

Kong Ning suspected that it was a demon that could not return to its original form after being cut off.

The art of transformation is an extremely rare and profound secret art, almost lost.

That's why Su Yan's method of incarnation is hard to guard against.

Even in ancient times, not everyone knew how to change Tiangang thirty-six.

Kong Ning wanted to see if the dead man with fish scales under his skin was a demon.

However, when Kong Ning went upstairs and entered the house, he lost the ashes urn.

In the room, everything is as usual.

But the ashes urn that had been turned into a wooden sculpture and stood by the window was gone.

In the whole room, there was a certain cold and cold atmosphere.

Kong Ning's expression instantly became serious.

"The columbarium was held hostage!"

Kong Ning immediately searched carefully in the house, but couldn't find any signs of fighting.

This surprised him.

Although the ashes urn has also been cut off of Taoism, but with the thirty-six transformations of Tiangang, in a state where everyone has no Taoism, he is by no means a weak person.

Now it has disappeared, and I don't know who took it away.

Only the cold and gloomy atmosphere left in the house is gradually dissipating.

But Kong Ning couldn't figure out who had hijacked the ashes urn, and did so without anyone noticing, without leaving any traces.

And what is the purpose of the other party taking away the columbarium?

Kong Ning stood in the room, pacing slowly, thinking.

Caiwei said in fear: "Master...Master, could it be Uncle Gu's friend who came here? She took Uncle Gu away?"

Caiwei told a ghost story and frightened herself.

Kong Ning glanced at her and said, "It makes sense, but it's unlikely."

If the friend from the columbarium really came, it would be too simple to take the columbarium without leaving a trace.

But the problem is, even if the friend of the columbarium is really alive and happens to be in the capital of Great Zhou, what would she do with the columbarium?

And this icy cold breath...

In the situation where all the virtues have been cut off, what kind of existence can leave such a breath?

Kong Ning searched the house inside and out, but did not find any traces, nor any kidnapping letters, ransom letters, or messages on the ashes urn.

The urn really disappeared without a trace.

Kong Ning waited for another hour, but still hadn't received anything, so he didn't plan to wait any longer.

He decided to leave the inn first to see how weird the so-called weird murder was.

There's no point in waiting here.

Leaving the inn with Caiwei, Kong Ning was going to the Yamen.

But as soon as he walked out of the inn, he heard a familiar voice sounding from the side of the street.

"Kong Ning?! Have you come to the capital too?"

The man's voice was extremely pleasantly surprised.

Kong Ning turned his head and saw a familiar face.

Maliu, a former colleague of the Shanlan County Yamen, a senior official in a brothel.

Under the gloomy sky, the pale-faced Ma Liu waved happily to Kong Ning.

Kong Ning was slightly taken aback: "Ma Liu? Why are you here?"

Na Ma Liu ran over quickly, maybe he ran too fast, he just stopped in front of Kong Ning, and coughed quickly while holding his chest.

"I'm coughing...cough coughing..."

After coughing hastily for quite a while, Ma Liu calmed down a little until his pale face flushed red.

He stroked his chest carefully, followed his breath, and finally said: "I'm here to do business in the capital!"

Ma Liu said with a smile all over his face, "Don't you know? Everyone in Shanlan County is dead!"

"I couldn't stay in the Yamen any longer, so I ran to the capital to do business."

"What about you? Why have you come to the capital too?"

Ma Liu smiled and hammered Kong Ning's chest, said: "Aren't you going to be a fairy?"

"Why did you come to the capital?"

"There are ghosts everywhere in the capital, don't you know?"

The pale-faced Ma Liu spoke terrifying words, but with a bright smile on his face: "Let's go! Don't come to the capital."

"You kid must live a good life!"
