Chapter 182 Clues
"It's just...he's no longer selling paintings outside, so you have to go to his home to look for ghosts." The shop owner explained.

"No problem, just tell me his address."

"Okay, his name is Chen Liusheng, and he lives in the Sanju Courtyard in the east of the city. There are also various other ghosts living in that courtyard. Girls should be careful when going there."

"Well, thank you for informing me."

After saying that, Li Yaozhi put half of the silver on the counter next to him, turned around and went out.

Saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, she quickly arrived in the east of the city according to the address given by the shopkeeper, but she did not know the specific location of Sanjuyuan.

Looking at the three alley entrances on the left, middle and right in front of her, she was very confused.

"Girl, where are you going?"

Hearing the voice of inquiry from behind, she quickly turned around and looked back, and saw an old woman with her hands behind her back and a stooped body looking at her.

"Mother-in-law, do you know how to get to Sanjuyuan?"

"I know, just enter the alley on the left and go straight," the old woman said.

"Thank you, mother-in-law." After saying that, two red fruits appeared in Li Yaozhi's hand, "Mother-in-law, these are two red fruits. Take them and eat them to quench your thirst."

The old woman took the fruit and praised: "Hey, what a girl! Remember, don't mess with those vicious-looking male ghosts when you enter the Sanjuyuan. They are not kind to you."

"Well, I remember it, thank you mother-in-law."

"Hey, hey, go ahead." The old woman put the two fruits into her arms and waved to Li Yaozhi.

Li Yaozhi walked into the alley on the left. The space in this alley was not small, but it was pitch black inside and she couldn't see anything. She quickly gathered the Yin spirit energy into her eyes, and then she could see the way ahead clearly.

He attached the Yin Spirit's Qi to his calves, causing wind to rise under his feet, and he soon left the alley.

As soon as I came out of the alley, I saw a large courtyard in front of me. There was a wooden plaque hanging crookedly on the open courtyard door with the words "Sanju Courtyard" written on it.

This is it!she thought to herself.

After crossing a path and before entering the courtyard, she heard a ghost scolding someone inside.

"Chen Liusheng, your rent has been in arrears for a month. If you can't pay it today, I will sell you to Huanghuaju now. With your fair and tender appearance, you may be able to get a good price, hahaha! "

Chen Liusheng is the name of that painter!Li Yao's heart said.

"Brother is right, we can get more money by then, and then we can go to Jiaohong Mansion to see Miss Bai."

"Hahaha, the eldest brother and the second brother are right."

"Hahaha……"

Li Yaozhi was shocked. These ghosts in the yard are not good people. I'd better wait and see what's going on inside!

Afraid of being discovered by the ghosts in the yard, she looked to the left and right and saw a small hidden corner made of a pile of debris on the left side of the courtyard door. She hurried over and hid behind it to listen carefully to what was going on in the courtyard. .

"You have already robbed me of all my belongings. Those things can at least cover three years of rent. Now I have only lived here for two months, and you are asking me for rent? The money is too high, don't go too far. !" Chen Liusheng stood alone in the courtyard, surrounded by five very strong male ghosts.

Qian Datiao pointed at Chen Liusheng with a confident look, "Chen Liusheng, don't be disrespectful. Your things are only enough money to live for one month. I will bear with you and let you live here for one more month before asking for rent." It’s good enough.”

After hearing this, Chen Liusheng couldn't bear it anymore. He grabbed Qian Dashu's arm and rolled him to the ground, and then stepped on his head.

Li Yaozhi outside the wall couldn't help but secretly poke out his consciousness. His consciousness stayed on the wall, watching the scene in the courtyard with relish, and at the same time thought to himself:

I thought that Chen Liusheng was just a scholar with a very weak body, but I didn’t expect that, wow, it’s really a ghost with a face that is beyond his appearance!

"Hmph, hand over what you snatched from me, or I will let you taste the fate of losing your soul, or let you taste the fate of entering Huanghuaju." Chen Liusheng used force on his feet and threatened at the same time.

Qian Dadi was stepped on by Chen Liusheng so much that his mouth twisted. His eyes widened and he stared at Chen Liusheng closely. He rolled his eyes and looked at his four brothers.

"You... this bunch of... useless things, I'm... already like this, why don't you hurry up..."

"Yes, brother." The four people said hurriedly.

Chen Liusheng exerted force with his foot, and Qian Datou's head instantly flattened into a piece of paper, and then kicked him out again.

Qian Datiao fell out of the hospital with a bang, right in front of Li Yao.

Li Yaozhi glanced at him and saw his miserable look, shook his head and looked towards the courtyard again.

Qian Da, who was lying on the ground, took a long time to regain consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a blue-skinned girl squatting not far from him. He raised his hand with great effort and said to the girl: "Little girl, save me." Save me and I can give you silver..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was killed by an oncoming sword. When his soul was gone, he was still thinking about whether the girl from the Tian family came back to seek revenge on him, or whether it was the girl from the Zhang family or the Bai family. of……

Li Yaozhi picked up a black storage bag from the ground, feeling very happy that he picked it up for nothing!Throwing the storage bag into the space, she looked into the courtyard again.

At this time, the fight in the courtyard had come to an end. As the last brother of Qian Dati's soul disappeared, Chen Liusheng also fell to the ground with a "pop".

"Hey……"

Seeing this, she hurriedly walked into the courtyard and reached Chen Liusheng. She looked at him and pushed him, "Chen Liusheng, Chen Liusheng, wake up, wake up!"

For a long time, there was no response.

After looking at the scene in the courtyard, he picked up the storage bags and weapons scattered on the floor, then squatted down and picked up Chen Liusheng with both hands, then randomly selected a room and entered.

Entering the inner room, he put the ghost in his arms face up and gently placed it on the bed.

Only then did she realize that there was a strong ghost energy rolling under the clothes on the other person's chest, and his soul was unstable.

It seemed that he had been seriously injured a long time ago and was not fully recovered yet.

But there is no medicine from the ghost world on her body!What can I do!
"By the way, maybe they have money in their storage bags!"

He took out the storage bag where the money was put into the space and rummaged through it, and then rummaged through the other four storage bags, and sure enough, he found a bottle of soul-solidifying pills and two bottles of soul-replenishing pills inside.

After feeding Chen Liusheng the elixir, Li Yaozhi sat at the round table in the room, waiting for Chen Liusheng to wake up early.

……

An hour later.

Chen Liusheng just woke up from bed. As soon as he was about to get up, he saw a girl in blue in the room. Just when he was about to open his mouth to speak, he couldn't help coughing twice.

"Ahem, cough, who are you, miss?" Li Yaozhi looked at him confidently and smiled: "Of course I am the one who saved you! Otherwise, how could you be lying on a soft bed, even The injuries on his body have also improved.”

Afraid that the other party wouldn't believe it, she took out a bottle of Soul-Reinforcing Pill and a bottle of Soul-Replenishing Pill and put them in Chen Liusheng's hands, "Here they are for you. It was only after I gave you these two pills that your injuries got better." .”

"Thank you, girl. May I ask if you are looking for Chen?"

"Well, it's nothing serious. I just want you to draw a picture for me." Li Yao said.

"What do you want to paint?"

"It would be better if you could also draw the portraits of the previous city lord and his wife, and their daughters." Li Yao took a step forward and looked at him.

Chen Liusheng's face was full of doubts: "Why do you want to draw their portraits? They are people and things in the past, and they are also taboos that cannot be mentioned in this ghost city. Why do you..."

"You don't have to worry about this. Just tell me whether you can draw or not."

Chen Liusheng got down from the bed, "I can only draw you a portrait of City Lord Ren and his wife. As for their daughter, I have never seen it."

"Okay." Suddenly, Li Yaozhi thought of something. She looked at Chen Liusheng and asked with a smile, "Have you seen the city lord's wife?"

"Yes, back then, Chen had the honor to enter the city lord's mansion and draw a portrait of the city lord and his wife."

"That's it. Don't worry, I'm not a bad guy. I will never do bad things with this portrait. If you ever see the child of the city lord and his wife, just draw his portrait." Li Yaozhi said warmly.

"Chen has indeed never seen it." Chen Liusheng denied again.

Li Yaozhi said helplessly: "Okay, painter Chen, can the painting be finished before noon today?"

"can."

"Okay, I'll come back after noon to get the portrait." Li Yaozhi said as he walked towards the door.

……

Coming out of the yard, Li Yaozhi breathed a sigh of relief:

As long as we have the portrait of the city lord and his wife, even if we don't know what their daughter looks like, we can roughly know what she looks like. However, it would be great if someone knows what the city lord and his wife's daughter looks like.

By the way, I wonder if there are ghosts in the current city lord’s mansion who know?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly walked to the shop on the street and bought a suit of black clothes and a dozen talismans that could make ghosts invisible.

He pretended to be a ghost cultivator shopping and unknowingly wandered onto the street in front of the city lord's palace.

She found a corner, entered the space, put on black clothes and affixed the talismans, walked around outside the City Lord's Mansion, and found that the City Lord's Mansion had a formation that covered the entire City Lord's Mansion.

What's even more annoying is that she couldn't find a weak spot in the formation that allowed her to enter the city lord's mansion.

As she walked to the back door, she saw two men pushing a cart of ingredients and were about to enter. She hurriedly walked over and grabbed the back frame of the cart before entering the city lord's mansion.

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Li Yaozhi entered the space and put on a new invisibility charm, then walked towards the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion where the waiters lived.

Unexpectedly, when I entered the backyard, I found that there were only two waiters here, and they were elderly maids who were temporarily unable to go on duty due to their frailty.

In line with the principle that a visit is not easy, she quietly entered the room where the two waiters lived. Perhaps she felt that there was no one else here, and the two ladies lying on the Datong bunk had nothing to worry about when they spoke.

A dark-looking woman with a black scar on her face said to the person next to her, "Mo Lian, are you feeling better?" Seeing that the other person remained silent, she leaned into his ear and whispered, "Hey ...I know today is the death anniversary of the madam and the city lord, but so what! Now that they are gone, you have not eaten much for several days, and your soul and body are much weaker. I am afraid that you can't hold on. !”

"I'm fine, Gui He, don't worry about me. I'm in charge of my health. You should have a good rest first!" Mo Lian covered half of her face with a quilt and said weakly.

"Hey..." Seeing that Mo Lian didn't listen to her words at all, she sighed heavily, then pulled the quilt and fell asleep.

When Mo Lian saw that the other party was sleeping, she slowly opened her quilt. Li Yaozhi clearly saw that her soul below her head was extremely thin, so thin that almost as long as a gust of wind blew, the other party's soul would fly away.

It seems like she really doesn't have much time left!

Seeing that the lady named Gui He had fallen into a deep sleep, Li Yaozhi tore off the invisibility charm on her body and appeared in front of Mo Lian.

"Who are you?" Although the other party was startled by Li Yaozhi, she still said calmly.

"Don't worry, I'm not a bad guy. I just want to ask you a question." After saying that, Li Yaozhi put another bottle of soul-repairing pill next to him. "This is the soul-repairing pill. Eating it is good for your body."

Mo Lian thought for a while but put away the elixir bottle, "What do you want to ask?"

"Have you met the daughter of the previous city lord?"

"What do you want to do?" After hearing this, something seemed to flash in the eyes of Mo Lian, who lowered her head, and then she asked calmly.

"I don't do anything, but I promise that I will never be a bad guy. I can swear on my cultivation that I will never do anything harmful to her."

Seeing that the other party was still indifferent and she didn't have much time, Li Yaozhi simply swore...

Seeing this scene, Mo Lian suddenly thought of what the lady said to her before she died: One day, someone will come to avenge us.

Could it be that this person is actually the ghost in front of him?But this ghost is only an advanced level of ghost cultivation. How can he avenge his wife and defeat the current city lord?

Since this person dares to swear, why not just believe her for now, maybe there is some high-level ghost cultivator behind her!
"Okay, I believe you." Mo Lian looked at Li Yaozhi and said firmly.

Things finally made progress, Li Yaozhi smiled happily, "Very good, then do you know where the daughter of the city lord and his wife is now?"

"I don't know." Mo Lian said.

Li Yaozhi didn't believe it. The loyal maid of the previous city lord and his wife didn't know where their daughter was?
"Don't lie to me, otherwise, it will ruin my big event."

"I really don't know. Since the city lord and his wife were killed, the young master has also disappeared." Mo Lian said very honestly.

Li Yaozhi scratched his hair and guessed: "Then... was he rescued by someone?"

"I don't know." Mo Lian said.

"Okay then, hey, then you must have met the daughter of the previous city lord and his wife, do you still remember what she looks like." Li Yaozhi retreated to the next best thing and continued to ask.

"I know, my little master's appearance is still in my heart."

Hearing this, Li Yaozhi said hurriedly: "Well, you should come out of the house with me now. I'll ask you to help me if necessary."

"Wait a minute, it's not easy to leave the mansion. However, the waiters in this mansion know that I am not going to die soon. Why don't I go today!" Mo Lian said sadly.

"Do you want to fake your death?" Li Yaozhi affirmed.
