99 Chapter 98 the missing lover
When night fell, the surroundings were exceptionally quiet.
The few bailiffs on duty at the government office last night had a nightmare. No one dared to sleep again that night. They were all squeezed in the servant’s room, waiting for Li Chu to make a move.
Li Chu was alone in the mortuary, meditating as he looked at the undamaged corpse.
Although he was in the morgue, his heart’s eye technique had already covered the streets nearby.
As long as a trace of Yin Qi was revealed, it would not be able to escape his detection.
Silence.
After an unknown period of time, a faint voice suddenly broke the silence.
Drip, drip.
It was the sound of water droplets falling to the ground.
It seemed to be a little far, but Li Chu had already moved.
He stood up, took a step, and disappeared from where he was. Suddenly, there were two flashes.
Outside the courtyard wall.
Under the hazy moonlight, there was a wet shadow.
It was obvious that this was a female ghost.
It looked like it had just crawled out of the water. Its hair was wet and heavy, and it hung down to cover its entire face. His clothes were tightly wrapped around his body, and his arms were hanging by his side as he looked in the direction of the morgue.
He seemed to want to get closer, but he was a little hesitant.
She mumbled in silence, cold, sad, and melancholy.
At this moment, an afterimage flashed, and a young Daoist priest in green suddenly appeared in front of her.
The female ghost’s shoulders trembled. She was obviously shocked.
Immediately, it turned around and fled.
Under the moonlight, it was floating at a very fast speed.
However, the little Daoist priest was faster.
He only took a step forward, and with a swish, he blocked its way like a ghost.
The female ghost stopped in her tracks and was suddenly in a daze.
He couldn’t figure it out.
Between the two of us, who’s the real ghost?
Li Chu stared at the small spirit in front of him, which was about the size of 18 lantern monsters, and said softly, ” “Don’t be afraid, I’m a good person.”
The female ghost’s heavy hair suddenly stood up, and she jumped up.
A good person?
He would definitely have to kill a ghost!
Seeing that she was about to escape again, Li Chu was getting impatient. Once again, he used the orchid Butterfly Cloud gliding step and flashed in front of the female ghost to stop her.
Then, he used his gentle voice to comfort her, ” “Miss Qianqian, if you keep running, I’m going to draw my sword.”
The female ghost finally ‘calmed down’ after hearing his comforting words.
It stood frozen on the spot, not daring to move.
“Is that your body in the mortuary?” Li Chu finally had time to ask.
The female ghost nodded obediently.
“Then that’s it.” Li Chu looked at her and said slowly, ” if you have any obsessions, you can tell me. I can help you resolve them. You don’t have to disturb the people every day.
The female ghost peeked out an eye from behind her hair and peeked at him. She looked very scared and still did not dare to make a sound.
Li Chu felt a little helpless when he saw that it was too nervous.
After some thought, he forced out a warm smile and said, ” “I really want to help you.”
The female ghost was stunned when she saw Li Chu’s warm smile. He didn’t know why, but he suddenly had a thought.
This person must be very trustworthy.
......
In the morgue.
Next to her corpse, the female ghost was depressed for a while before she finally made a sound.
“My name is Chen Yujiao, I’m from Yunhe County.” It said.
“Little Daoist priest Li, I’ve heard of your name. When I Saw Your Face in flowing flower River, I knew it was you.”
“Oh?”
Li Chu was a little surprised. He didn’t expect his name to have already spread outside Yuhang County.
“My family and the GE family in Yuhang County are family friends. I’ve heard GE cuihua mention you, Chenchen.”
The female ghost lowered her head and whispered, ” she said that you, Lao Ai, are not only extremely handsome but also very good at exorcism. No matter what kind of demons or ghosts you are, you always kill Lao Ai with one strike. That’s why I’m afraid of you. I didn’t do any bad things, really.”
Li Chu nodded in understanding. No wonder this female ghost appeared in other people’s dreams but always avoided him.
Perhaps miss GE had been too exaggerated when she had mentioned it to her.
...
At the same time, from these words, it could be seen that this miss Chen must have come from a rich family.
“Miss Chen, although our cultivation focuses on slaying demons and eliminating Devils, you have not done anything evil, so you are naturally not included. I’m looking for you because I want to help you get rid of your obsession so that you can enter the cycle of reincarnation with peace of mind.” Li Chu said.
“Thank you so much, little Daoist priest li.” Chen Yujiao nodded lightly.
Li Chu observed her for a while and felt that miss Chen must have been a timid person when she was alive. That was why she was so scared even after she turned into a ghost.
With her personality, it would be hard for her to harm others.
“I was originally going on a boat trip with the young master of the Dai family.”
After that, Li Chu spent a long time listening to her story.
It turned out that miss Chen was really from the Chen family, a wealthy family in Yunhe County.
She also had a childhood sweetheart who was the young master of the Dai family, another wealthy family in Yunhe County.
The two of them were engaged before they were born, their families were of equal social standing, and they were a perfect match.
Originally, the two families had planned to choose an auspicious day for the two of them to get married this year.
...
A few days ago, that young master Dai had suddenly invited her to take a boat trip.
Miss Chen naturally agreed to her lover’s invitation.
The two of them agreed to dismiss the maidservants and manservants and booked the entire passenger ship, wanting to quietly enjoy their two-person world.
Who knew that when the boat traveled along the flowing flower River to the lower Liucun reach, the boatmen would suddenly pull out their steel blades and transform into thieves.
After robbing them of all their belongings, he forced the couple to jump into the river.
The two of them were helpless and jumped into the flowing flower River while hugging each other.
The story ended here with a crime case.
However, miss Chen was not willing to sleep in the water forever, so she turned into a ghost.
That was why the villagers of lower Willow Village had nightmares.
Originally, it would have been fine to just salvage her body and bury her.
But,
But miss Chen found that her lover was gone.
Young master Dai and her jumped into the flowing flower River, hugging each other. They could not die together in life, but they should die together.
Now that she had died and turned into a ghost, young master Dai’s corpse had disappeared.
How could she accept this?
That was why he had a second dream visit last night.
The “there’s still someone underwater” she was referring to was young master Dai.
However, she did not know where that person was.
I’ve checked the bottom of the flowing flower River carefully last night. There’s no other body besides yours. Li Chu looked at miss Chen and said,”are you sure that young master Dai will be with you?”
He did not finish his sentence.
Are you sure he died with you?
“Of course!” Miss Chen’s voice became louder for the first time. young master Dai and I, Xuanji, have long made an oath of undying love and promised to spend the rest of our lives together. He wouldn’t abandon me to live alone.”
From her tone, she seemed to be extremely certain about the relationship between the two.
“I’m sorry.” the flowing flower River is a long river, ” Li Chu said. perhaps his body has gone somewhere else. What was young master Dai’s full name? Tomorrow, I can ask the Yamen runners in the county to see if I can get some information about him.”
“Young master Dai, Yingluo.” Miss Chen’s voice became gentler when she mentioned her lover.”He’s called Dai Erren.”
