The residential houses in Youcheng are located on a side road of the main street. You can see large and small residential houses just by turning a corner from the main street. Since Youcheng has a special geographical location, there are very few people living in Youcheng. However,

But it's not impossible. In the past, even this exclusive residential street had few people.

In recent days, Youcheng Yinxian is much busier than before. This is what Zi Yuchen found out. They followed the guidance of the kind people on the road and turned to the main street. After walking for a while, they saw a lot of things.

houses, but most of them have white cloth strips hanging in front of their doors, and the numerous houses are all plain white as far as the eye can see.

Zi Yuchen looked around, and his frown turned into twists in an instant. He had already had this worry when his master told him that this was the junction of the Yin Spirit World and the Human World, but in his heart

No matter how much you have imagined Youcheng, it is still not as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes.

There were not many people living on this street, and even fewer people walking between the roads, so when Zi Yuchen saw a young man dressed like a servant hurriedly walking in the middle of the road, they were undoubtedly excited.

The clever junior brother grabbed the young man who was passing in front of them and said, "Little brother, are you going somewhere?"

The young boy looked nervous, and carefully looked at Zi Yuchen and his group. Seeing that they were dressed in extraordinary clothes, he couldn't help but be curious, "Who are these gentlemen..."

"Little brother, you don't need to care who we are, we are just curious, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Hey, young master, if you have nothing to do, don't just pull people around to make things happen. The little one is busy!" The little brother was not happy when he heard this. Just out of curiosity, he pulled him casually and refused to let him go. He could see his behavior.

He was in a hurry and still had to stop him. He was so careless.

"No, I will let you go after I finish asking. Why is there no one on this street, and every house is hung with white lanterns? Is it because people died together on this street?" The younger junior brother was young.

I'm young, so I don't pay much attention to what I say.

"Yeah... Where are the immortals in this secluded city? Have you just arrived here?" the little brother asked while looking around.

"Yes, then why are you in such a hurry? Someone in your family also died?" Junior Brother was curious.

"...Bah, bah, bah, my family has been living well for several generations. I have never seen such a curse." The little brother looked disgusted, "It's the young master of my employer who suddenly died yesterday.

He died suddenly, and he was just about to rush to the master’s house to take care of the young master’s funeral!”

The younger brother Yinxian is also a nagging person, and he can't stop talking once he starts talking. "There are only a few people who can live in a place like Youcheng. It's a big family that can settle here. The strength of the people in the family must be

It's not that bad. Although the young master is not a master, dealing with ordinary ghosts is definitely not a problem, so I can only say that if a person is unlucky, his teeth will be choked when he drinks cold water, but he is so strong that he will not be haunted by ghosts.

He died suddenly, without any warning... Oh..." The little brother sighed again, with a look of regret and helplessness on his face, "It's a pity that he passed away at such a young age."

"Yes, life is inherently unpredictable, who can say clearly!" The younger junior brother also had a look of regret and sympathy.

"Did he die suddenly for no reason?" Zi Yuchen, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the young boy and his junior brother, suddenly spoke.

"Yes!" The young boy nodded.

"Excuse me, can we go have a look?" Zi Yuchen asked.

"Ah?" The young boy was startled, a little unconvinced, "What are you doing to see a dead person?"

Furthermore, if you look at it, what can you do? After all, people will not be resurrected after death, and it is impossible for people to come back to life again.

"I... I'm just a little curious to see why it suddenly... disappeared, okay?" Zi Yuchen stared at the boy with a pair of starry eyes, "Because it's impossible for people to die for no reason."

Facing Zi Yuchen's serious face, the young man did not know how to refuse. Perhaps it should be said that he could not bear it and was unwilling to do so.

Zi Yuchen didn't look like he was joking at all, and the young man had been in Youcheng since he was a child, and his strength was not bad, but he could feel that the man in front of him, no, not just this man, the strength of this group of people

They are all stronger than him.

Seeing that they were all wearing uniform white robes, he suddenly thought of a possibility and asked, "Are you... from Qingyun Mountain?"

The junior brother was just about to go around with the young boy, but the careless Zi Yuchen already said, "Yes..."

The junior brother was helpless, "Senior brother, you are too honest."

"Ah?" Zi Yuchen was stunned, then straightened his face, "Junior brother, the ancients said, treat others with sincerity, and treat others with sincerity. You have forgotten the master's teachings, and..."

"...Senior brother, I was wrong," the younger junior brother surrendered immediately before Zi Yuchen finished his lesson.

"Hey, since you are from Qingyun Mountain, then just let me go. My master has always felt that it was strange that the young master died." Before Zi Yuchen could take on the role of a senior brother and educate his young junior brother,

The young boy spoke first.

"Okay." Zi Yuchen was stunned, nodded, and then followed the young boy to a mansion not far away.

In the mourning hall, Zi Yuchen's expression was not good. This was the first time that the junior brother saw such an expression on his senior brother. He was a little curious and asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong?"

Zi Yuchen moved to the side and made room beside the coffin.

The meaning was very sinister, and the junior brother naturally understood it. When he walked over, what he saw was the pale face of the young man in the coffin. His nails were already showing signs of blackness. He could faintly smell some kind of stench belonging to the dead. It was like death.

It looked like it had been there for many days, but... this young man, according to his parents, he was very evil and died yesterday. However, the body decomposed many times faster than an ordinary dead person. He stretched out his hand under the dead young man's nose.

After exploring and rolling the deceased's eyelids, my ears were buzzing with the cries of the deceased's family.

"Are you sure he just died yesterday?" The junior brother turned around and looked at the woman and middle-aged man standing aside with sad faces.

The woman took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face. When she heard the younger brother's words, she felt sad and doubtful at the same time, "What do you mean by that? When did my son leave? How is my mother doing?"

Not sure?! I thought that he was still alive and kicking and playing coquettishly at me a few days ago, but I didn’t expect that today he turned into a cold corpse in the coffin. Whenever I think of it, I hate it in my heart! Why is my son so miserable?

"The woman was crying and beating her chest with regret.

The man, on the other hand, was calmer than the woman. He immediately heard something strange in his junior brother's words, "Master, why do you ask this?"

In their eyes, anyone from Qingyun Mountain, whether he is an ordinary gatekeeper or a disciple of Qingyun Mountain, is a being at the level of an immortal, so they naturally have to call their junior disciple "Master".

"Did you discover something? Can my son be saved?"

The junior brother glanced back at Zi Yuchen, hesitating and not knowing how to speak.

Zi Yuchen paused and shook his head apologetically, "Young master is dead and there is no way to save him. It's just..."

"Just what?" the woman asked.

"Yes, my son died strangely. He didn't go out yesterday. He died suddenly and suddenly while staying at home. In your opinion, is it possible that someone caused harm?" The man agreed.

"I don't know this. It's just that for some reason, your son's body decomposed faster than ordinary people. I just checked and found that your son's soul has not returned." As a person, generally speaking, the soul of a person who has been dead for a day should still be alive.

In the attached body, if there is no external force to drive it, it will still be in the body for the first three days.

But... this young man did not, and there was no sign of any injury on his body. It looked like he died as a result of someone dragging his soul out of his body with external force. But who has that ability? What can he do if he wants a soul?

What does it do? This is something he couldn't figure out.

"The soul does not return to the body? What does that mean?" the woman asked. Even if they are practitioners, ordinary people know very little about these things. They do not understand that it is normal for the soul of the dead to remain attached to the body for the first three days.

"If a normal person dies, his soul will still be attached to his body within three days, but your master does not. It seems that his soul was sucked away..." said a Qingyun Mountain disciple who was following Zi Yuchen.

"Who did your son have contact with during his lifetime?" Zi Yuchen asked.

Who has he come into contact with? The woman, the middle-aged man and everyone in the mourning hall looked at each other with blank expressions. The woman paused and said, "My son is lively by nature and loves to make friends. But the people he has come into contact with are...

It’s quite a lot…”

"I made a mistake a few days ago and was grounded by me. I want to contact only people in the house..." The middle-aged man continued, paused, turned back to a maid and said, "I have been in contact with you for the past few days.

Those who are older than young will bring them to me."

The maid responded and went down. She was also very efficient in doing things and soon brought everyone up.

The middle-aged man stared at the people in the hall with a stern eyebrow, "Tell me, who did you harm the young master?"

The servants in the hall were trembling and shouting that they were wronged. I don't know who said, "In the past few days, Xiaolan has had the most contact with the young master. If there is any suspicion, Xiaolan is probably the biggest suspect."

It instantly aroused a wave of echoing comments.

"That's right, that makes sense,"

"Xiaolan has been serving the young master closely, so it is the easiest thing to do something to him!"

"Yeah yeah!"

A few unprovoked words made the middle-aged man's face darken instantly, and his sharp eyes were directed at the little maid aside. The little maid's pale face, which had heard the comments in the crowd, became even more gloomy, without any blood.

.

"The master is unjust. I definitely have no intention of harming the young master. The master has treated me well since he was a child. No matter how blind I am, I will never do such an ungrateful thing..."

But the middle-aged man's expression showed no signs of softening due to the little maid's words. He stared at the little maid with cold eyes, "Here comes..."

Before the man finished speaking, the little maid was so scared that she was shaking like chaff. She knelt down in front of the man in a few steps, hugged his thigh and cried, "No slave, this is all unjust, and slaves are not the only ones who have come into contact with the young master."

Ah, this slave was bought by the mansion. She will be a servant of the mansion throughout her life and death. If she dared to do these things, she would have escaped long ago. These days... these days, in addition to people in the mansion, the young master has also come into contact with outsiders!

"

"Who?!" the man asked in shock, and even the sobbing woman beside him raised his ears to listen.

Seeing that the man finally no longer wanted to kill her and was willing to listen to her explanation, the little maid felt happy and nervous. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and continued, "Master, do you remember the Shen family who was demoted here more than a month ago?"

"The Shen family?" The man raised his eyebrows in surprise. The Shen family and them were not on the same page, so how could they be involved?

"Yes, although the master has told the young master not to associate with the Shen family, the young master likes to make friends by nature, so he got acquainted with Mr. Shen of the Shen family through a strange combination of circumstances, and the two got along very well. The young master of the Shen family recently I heard that the young master was grounded, and I secretly sneaked into the house to visit the young master. However, for some reason, he suddenly stopped coming a few days ago. The day after he stopped coming, the young master complained that he had a headache, and the slave didn't pay attention. , I think..." The little maid hesitated and did not speak, her delicate little face covered with blush.

"What do you want?" The man wanted to know the result, so he naturally didn't pay attention to the maid's strange behavior.

"I think it's... caused by hard work day and night..." The maid paused and used a more euphemistic expression.

"I didn't care, and then... the young master died suddenly... I think that besides the maids in the house, the one who had the most contact with the young master was Mr. Shen. I'm afraid that the young man's sudden disaster may not have anything to do with him. ah!"

"Working hard day and night?" The man paused, suddenly thought of something, and coughed slightly to cover it up.

Mr. Shen is notoriously lecherous in Yong'an. If you can get to know him and have a good relationship with him, the only common topics of interest between the two of them are...

"Master Shen?" When Zi Yuchen heard this title for the first time, he felt that the last name was very familiar. Someone suddenly flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Is this the newly demoted Shen Fu's son Shen Cai from Yong'an?"
