The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 25 Statue in the Glade
  Wen Jiu suddenly turned his head and stared at Mother Wen, "Is there such a good thing?"

Although Mother Wen didn't speak, there was a hint of warning in her eyes.

"Mother, Lu Xu, no, Prince Lu is such a superficial person!"

Wen Jiu knew he was wrong and quickly admitted his mistake.

Although she wished that Lu Xu was so superficial, the fact was that Lu Xu knew that he was killing people, but he still wanted to use her!

Mother and daughter were talking and laughing along the way, and soon they arrived at the most famous clothing store in Beijing.

It is said that this shop is the property of a close friend of my mother's, and it is opened for no other reason than to make beautiful and exquisite clothes for these official ladies.

"Mrs. Wen, Miss Wen, please come inside!" Seeing Wen's carriage stop, the waiter hurried forward to greet him, with a smile on his face. He didn't know whether it was true or not.

Wen Jiu took Zi Su's hand and carefully stepped out of the carriage. Today, she deliberately turned pale, and her hand never left Zi Su. She looked even weaker than all the ladies in the capital. a bit.

This was her first time coming to this clothing store. In the past, her mother would ask them to prepare the clothes and deliver them to her house.

There are not too many people inside, but fortunately the store has three floors, so it doesn't feel crowded since they are spread out.

"Mrs. Wen, Miss Wen, these are new styles that have just arrived recently. You can take a look."

When the store manager heard that the Wen family's mother and daughter were coming, he quickly came out to receive them in person.

"Jiu'er, see if there's anything you like."

"Mom, you can choose. I'm a little tired and want to sit over there."

It's not that I'm tired, I just feel bored.

Mrs. Wen nodded, and the waiter in the store took Wen Jiu to sit in a place specially designed for people to rest and enjoy tea.

The store manager was shocked. This rumor was indeed true. The apple of his eye, Mrs. Wen, was really weak. He felt tired after just a few steps.

He looked back at the distance between the carriage and the store, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Although this place is not separated from room to room like a serious teahouse, a few curtains have been drawn to block it a little.

She had just sat down and took a sip of tea when she heard rustling discussions coming from behind the curtain.

"Have you heard? The seventh one has appeared and is probably gone."

"No more? Didn't you say you were kidnapped by the kidnappers?"

"Why is this not gone? The kidnappers haven't asked for ransom yet, and they haven't said whether they will be released or not. It's basically gone."

"This is a big case, right? Seven scholars who came to Beijing to take exams were all kidnapped. Doesn't the government have any explanation?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, who says it's not the case? This is already the seventh time, and people are panicking!"

Kidnapping case? Does this have anything to do with the Ghost Hunt? Wen Jiu couldn't help but frown, twirling the teacup in his hand and listening nonchalantly.

"It's a rare trip, so don't talk about these unlucky things. I heard that the statues in the open space were placed last night. Have you all gone to see them?"

"What's so good about statues? Suddenly there are statues in a nice open space. It's scary even if you pass by them at night."

"Mrs. Zhang's words are wrong. Zhou Dafu is the most philanthropic person in Beijing. He is not the first to initiate any good deeds. He is like a living Bodhisattva!"

"Yes, I heard that this statue belongs to the number one scholar who has passed the exam in recent years. In order to encourage students who came to Beijing to take the exam, he also set up a charity fund. He said that as long as he passed the exam, he would donate money. If he was the number one scholar in high school, it would be on the open space. Put up a statue.”

"Is there such a good thing? I'm afraid I'm trying to win over these people."

"He dares to woo him so aggressively, but we don't dare." Wen Jiu put down his teacup and his eyes wandered. Compared with Zhou Dashanren's good deeds, the kidnapping case of these seven people is more worthy of investigation.

Wen Jiu carried her skirt and went downstairs. Seeing that Mrs. Wen was still looking at the colors, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mother, they said that the statue is really beautiful. Can my daughter take Zisu for a walk?"

Mrs. Wen looked at the many fabric styles and needed to choose one, so she went with them. "Zisu, put the veil on the girl and take good care of her."

"Yes, madam." Zisu hurriedly followed her girl as she left the shop.

Wen Jiu walked quickly. These scholars were not staying in the same inn, so she had to go all together.

"Girl, do you want to see the statue?" Zisu thought that Wen Jiu had listened to the chatter of the ladies and wanted to go to the open space to see the excitement.

"What's so good about the statue? It's not like I've never seen it before." Wen Jiu walked briskly. It was better to have clues than no clues at this time.

"It's a coincidence that there are seven missing people and there are exactly seven statues." Zi Su followed Wen Jiu in small steps, taking a breath from time to time.

"What did you say?" Wen Jiu paused, his eyes flashing slightly, and he turned to look at Zisu.

Zisu didn't know if she had said something wrong, so she could only swallow and repeat: "Yesterday, a slave and a girl got separated. I heard the old man from the candy seller saying that there were seven statues in the open space, so the slave shouldn't Nonsense, how can there be any problem with Zhou Dashanren's sculpture? I know my mistake."

Seven scholars are missing, and there are seven more statues in the open space?
  Wen Jiu immediately turned around and walked towards the open space, with Zisu chasing after him, "Where are you going, girl?"

"Open space, look at the statue." There was wind on Wen Jiu's feet. If there wasn't someone watching around her, she would have used Qing Kung Fu.

Zisu trotted behind her girl, not daring to stop for a moment.

But when the ghost hunting order was responded to yesterday, there was nothing wrong with the statue. Wen Jiu was puzzled.

But when she stood in the open space, she looked around carefully and became even more confused.

These seven statues are scattered in the open space, and there are inscriptions engraved in front of each statue, which are just some character introductions and are quite detailed.

Many tourists and students touched and knelt down there, praying for some luck in high school.

If you look closely at these seven statues, if there is anything unusual, it is just a faint black aura, which is so light that it can be ignored.

Wen Jiu slowly clasped his hands in front of him. If someone died and walked around here with resentment, the statue would inevitably be stained with something.
  And there was nothing unusual about the statue passing by him yesterday.

In other words, the scholar’s ​​disappearance has nothing to do with this statue.

She frowned. Is there really such a coincidence in this world?

It seemed like someone was looking at him.

Wen Jiu subconsciously looked at the nearest statue, but found no clues.

She stepped forward with some hesitation and left the crowded open space.

Are the seven statues and seven scholars really not related at all?

Wen Jiu took Zisu around the area again. When he returned to the open space again, there were so many people that he could still only see the head of the sculpture.

Sure enough, there was still a faint black energy lingering around it, the same as before, neither increasing nor decreasing.

Not increasing or decreasing?

Wen Jiu's eyes flashed, "That's not right!"
