The prince and concubine of the poor family will catch ghosts

Chapter 214 Diren Kingdom 1
There are clumps of tall coral reefs near the sea. In the melodious sea breeze, beams of warm sun pass through the coral reefs, and the fine light sprinkles the entire sea surface.

Following this piece of colorful coral to the land, there are pieces of well-arranged shell houses.The streets are criss-crossed, and mermaids with beautiful faces shuttle among them.

In the center of a slightly spacious square, several thick corals are erected in a five-star array, and the steps in front are full of people.

These people, whether male or female, young or old, have the body of a mermaid, with a fish tail under the chest.A head of colorful hair, some like seaweed, curly and long, spread over the shoulders and hang down the waist.

This is the country of Di people in the west of Jianmu.

Compared with them, Gao Yuyuan, who was curled up on the stage with both legs, looked very strange, all of them looked curiously at the slender legs exposed under her skirt.

"Three hundred gold beads, who else can pay more than this price?" A middle-aged man with a rosaceous nose shouted to the crowd with a beaming face.

This was the first sentence Gao Yuyuan heard after waking up, but when she opened her eyes and saw the fish tail full of screen, she was terrified immediately.However, he quickly realized that he was still alive, but his body was tied up with seaweed, making him feel sticky and uncomfortable.

Although she hasn't figured out where this place is yet, Gao Yuyuan clearly understands one thing, she is being auctioned off like a pet!I couldn't help but slander in my heart, while looking at these mermaids who were also looking at her.

Not to mention, these mermaids are all naturally beautiful, no matter they are male, female, old or young, they all have a beautiful face, but these colorful hairs make people dazzled, and they seem to think that black ones look better.

"I'm adding a hundred gold beads!" At this moment, a young mermaid man suddenly said.

The middle-aged man who picked up Gao Yuyuan on the beach was overjoyed and immediately asked if there was anyone else who paid more than this price.Gao Yuyuan looked at the young fish who bid, but saw that behind him was a ghost, also a mermaid, but the fish tail on the lower body was covered with cuts and bruises, looking bloody and bloody, Gao Yuyuan felt a little hurt for her. Subconsciously, he couldn't help baring his teeth.

The young fishman was competing with several others for bids.The mermaid ghost had another look on his face, and walked towards Gao Yuyuan with some doubts, and then slowly squatted down, his face was almost pressed against her face.

Gao Yuyuan retreated instinctively, but unexpectedly the mermaid ghost also leaned back, even with a frightened expression on her face, as if she was the one who was frightened.

Seeing this, Gao Yuyuan couldn't help frowning, even if she was really disfigured on the way here, she wouldn't scare a mermaid ghost into such a state, would she?
"You...you can see me?" She still looked terrified, but there was a bit of joy in that anxious expression.

"En." Gao Yuyuan nodded in response.But what's so strange about it, what's strange to her is, how can a ghost of her appear at will in this sunny world?
The mermaid was stunned for a moment when she heard her voice, and then she recovered when she heard a latecomer raising the price higher, and then looked back at the young mermaid who had previously offered 350 gold beads to buy Gao Yuyuan. , turned to Gao Yuyuan and prayed in a low voice: "Can you do me a favor?"

"Do you recognize him?" Judging from his clothes, the young mermaid man is luxurious, and his hair crown is full of jewels. He is not a young master from an ordinary family.Looking at the mermaid ghost, although the tail of the fish is full of bruises, she is not an ordinary lady in terms of temperament, so I can't help but guess that the two are not a couple, right?

But the mermaid female ghost didn't know that Gao Yuyuan was already gossiping in her heart at the moment, but said, "Please help me give him a word, let him take good care of Lan and Qi for me."

"That's it?" Gao Yuyuan was a little disappointed, but still shouted at the young mermaid man, "Hey, come here."

The young mermaid man was a little puzzled. He didn't expect this man with two legs to call him, but he still walked towards Gao Yuyuan, and the young nobles who came behind him also booed. Could it be Gao Yuyuan? Ibi takes a fancy to him.

The young man seemed to think the same way, approached Gao Yuyuan and stopped at a distance of about a foot, and then said with a serious face: "Girl, don't think about it, I will buy you back, but I just want to send you back. It's just for the younger cousins ​​to enjoy."

When Gao Yuyuan heard this, she couldn't help roaring in her heart, thinking about your uncle!However, the expression on his face was more serious and serious than that of the young mermaid man, "Young master thinks too much, girl, I also have a husband."

Hearing this, the young mermaid man had an expression of "If that's the case, what are you calling for?".

Seeing this, Gao Yuyuan couldn't help but stare back at the mermaid ghost who was waiting pitifully beside her, and said to the young mermaid man angrily, "She said that you should take good care of Lan and Qi."

"You?" The man's expression was also full of panic, his breathing was obviously a little short, and he turned his head to the middle-aged mermaid and said directly: "[-] gold beads, I want it."

As soon as the voice came out, the lively voices on the spot stopped suddenly, and everyone looked at the young mermaid boy as if they were looking at a monster.

Although these two-legged people are rare, they are nothing more than objects for entertainment, not worth so much.

In this way, Gao Yuyuan was transferred from the middle-aged mermaid's hand to the mermaid's hand by [-] gold beads.

Regardless of everyone's puzzled expressions, the Mermaid quickly beckoned his maid to untie the seaweed rope on Gao Yuyuan's body, and couldn't wait to invite her into his carriage.

And Gao Yuyuan, who was walking on two legs, made the mermaids onlookers look surprised and even a little envious.

Two flexible legs are indeed much more convenient on land than a fat tail.

As soon as Gao Yuyuan got into the carriage with her skirt in hand, the mermaid boy bid farewell to his friends immediately, and then raised the curtain to come up, and asked anxiously as soon as he came in, "Who told you?"

"Her." Gao Yuyuan unceremoniously picked up the snacks in the carriage as soon as she came up. At this moment, when the mermaid boy asked, he pointed to the mermaid female ghost next to him.

The mermaid boy looked at the blank space beside Gao Yuyuan, and suddenly felt like he was being tricked, but his good self-cultivation made him endure it, "Girl, don't joke, this matter is very important to me."

Gao Yuyuan looked angrily at the female mermaid ghost who was looking at the mermaid boy with a bitter face, "What's your name, or something to prove your identity, he doesn't believe me."

The mermaid boy just heard the first half of Gao Yuyuan's sentence, and thought she was asking himself, but he didn't expect that she seemed to be speaking to another person.

But there was no one else in the carriage except them, and he didn't even let the maid come up.

The mermaid ghost looked back and sighed: "My name is Xu Xun, the third princess of the Diren Kingdom." She pointed to the mermaid who was sitting opposite and couldn't see her: "He is my cousin Jun."

"Oh." Gao Yuyuan said she understood, and then looked at Jun: "She said she was Xu Xun, and your name is Jun, can this prove it?"

"What did you say?" Jun stood up suddenly, his voice raised several points in an instant, and the carriage outside stopped suddenly, and the voices of several servants came from outside: "Master?"

Jun was still full of excitement, his pair of pearl-like blue pupils locked tightly on Gao Yuyuan, but his voice had calmed down, and he calmly replied, "Nothing!" The body just sat down slowly, but still looked at Gao Yuyuan like a monster, looked at the empty seat next to Gao Yuyuan from time to time, after all, couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice: "Xuxi, really Is it next to you?" She saw that Gao Yuyuan was talking to the air next to her just now.

Before Gao Yuyuan could reply, he shook his head again and again: "Impossible, Xu Xun has been dead for half a year, and has already gone to Guixu to start a new life, how could he be here?"

When Gao Yuyuan heard him mentioning Guixu, she couldn't help being curious, but looking at Jun's state at the moment, she was afraid that she couldn't answer her own question, so she looked at Xuxuan: "Guixu, does it really exist?"

Knowing that Jun couldn't accept it all at once, Xu Xun was not in a hurry to ask Gao Yuyuan to prove it to him, so when he heard Gao Yuyuan's words, he patiently replied: "After the mermaids of our Diren Kingdom have come to an end, The soul will flow along the sea to the Guixu, but I don’t know why, I waited in the sea for a long time, but I still didn’t get the guidance to go to the Guixu. I heard from the passing soul that I couldn’t go to the Guixu, it was because my life didn’t At the end, so the messenger who guided me has not arrived, so I had to come back."

"Oh, then how did you die?" Isn't she the third princess of the Diren Kingdom?Why is the death so tragic?Could it be that there are rebellious officials and thieves usurping the throne?That's why she died?
But Xu Xun looked remorseful, "I committed an unforgivable sin, and my father gave me a waist punishment, which is regarded as a lenient sentence."

"Uh..." Gao Yuyuan couldn't help being astonished when she heard the words, and then she was a little puzzled and said, "But isn't your life not coming to an end?"

"This is exactly what I don't understand. It stands to reason that I have committed such a crime, so I can't have such a long life." But even if there was no messenger to escort her, she had to go ashore to find the answer.It's just that she can't even enter Jun's mansion, let alone the palace, so she wants to ask Jun to take good care of Lan and Qi.

Gao Yuyuan saw that she didn't know what was going on, and that Jun hadn't fully recovered, so she asked Xuxuan, "Where is this place?"

It is not surprising that she asked this question. After all, she is the first person to come here in these hundreds of years. Thinking that she is here alone and helpless, this feeling of loneliness is most understandable, so He said: "This is the country of Diren, which is on the coast west of Jianmu."

"Jianmu? Is it the legendary sacred tree that leads to Kunlun Shenshan?" Gao Yuyuan had read a few miscellaneous notes earlier, which mentioned a little bit. She didn't know whether Kunlun Mountain existed, but she couldn't think of this Jianmu God. Trees actually exist.

Sure enough, but Jian Xuxie nodded his head: "Yes, we mermaids have a lifespan of about [-] years. Before my father took the throne, he climbed Jianmu and saw Kunlun Mountain." Kunlun Mountain, that is The legendary fairy mountain, so when Xu Xun talked about it, he looked yearning.

Gao Yuyuan also thought about it in her heart, if she wanted to leave Diren Kingdom, then she would have to go to Guixu, but to go to Guixu, there must be an envoy to guide the way, so obviously she couldn't go.So it's not bad to choose to climb Jianmu. Kunlun came to Xianshan, maybe he can find news about Beichen Wuyou, and maybe he can return to the human world!
Just as she was contemplating, Jun, who had been watching her talking to himself, also regained his usual calmness, looked at her very seriously at this moment, and asked very solemnly: "Girl, can you really see Xu Xing?"

Gao Yuyuan's thoughts were disturbed by him, she felt a little uncomfortable after all, and heard him ask this question repeatedly, she couldn't help becoming impatient: "Yeah, she waited in the deep sea for a long time, and there was no messenger to lead her back to the ruins. It's because life is not over yet, so she can only come back."

Unexpectedly, when Jun Yi heard her words, not only was he not angry, but some excitement appeared on his face, "I knew that Xu Xie couldn't just die like this, she was not wrong."

Gao Yuyuan couldn't think for a while, and couldn't help but look at Xu Xun.Xu Xuan said that she had committed an unforgivable sin, but Jun said she was right, what happened?Chao Xuxuan couldn't help asking: "What mistake did you make at the beginning?"

"I..." Xu Xie opened his mouth, recalling the tragic death of those children in his mind, and subconsciously raised his hands, as if he could see the blood stains on his hands, tears rolled down one by one, while slowly He told Gao Yuyuan everything he did after he suffered from nocturnal excursion.

She had the symptoms of nocturnal swimming when she was young, but she usually got up to eat, but it was cured at that time.But a year ago, one day when she woke up in the morning, she found that her hands and face were covered with blood. She was still very frightened at that time, and hurriedly scrubbed it secretly without disturbing the maid, and a case appeared that day. A child had its tail and hands chopped off, and its heart was ripped out of its chest and bitten to pieces.

At that time, Xu Xun had an intuition that she might have done it after her night tour. She was afraid and regretted it, but she didn't dare to tell anyone, so every night before she went to bed, she quietly locked herself in the shell. middle.

So the following days were peaceful for many days, but not long after, the case reappeared again, and the symptoms were similar to the last time. Xu Xie was not sure if she did it by herself, but then she tied herself up even tighter, but Unexpectedly, only a few days later, the eldest princess Qin Sui died, and the death was very tragic.

But this time, Xu Xun found that there was still blood on her body, and there were even unwashed blood stains in her nails. She was terrified, and she no longer dared to close her eyes, let alone face anyone.

But at this time, because the murderer was not traced, my younger sister Lan was very scared and came to sleep with her.

When Gao Yuyuan heard this, she couldn't help interjecting: "Did you fall ill again that night?"

Xu Xie gritted his teeth tightly: "I don't know, I can't bear to refuse Lan, but I dare to close my eyes, but for some reason, I fell asleep later, and when I woke up again, I had already been crushed. Locked in a dungeon."

Jun couldn't see Xu Xun at all, but from Gao Yuyuan's questioning, he probably knew what they were talking about, so he said: "In our country of Diren, every bloodline of the royal family will have a special ability that they desperately do not have, and Xu Xun What’s more, it’s stealth.”

It was also like this, so everyone believed that when she left the palace, she was in an invisible state, and even killed everyone in an invisible state.

Gao Yuyuan saw Xu Xun's face full of pain. Originally, she shouldn't break the casserole and ask the end of this kind of matter, but Gao Yuyuan had a feeling that there must be something strange in it, not to mention that Xu Xun's nocturnal travel syndrome did not develop when she was a child. Has it been cured?But seeing Xu Xun in such pain, she couldn't ask the people at that time.Seeing that Jun had regained his senses, he asked Jun, "Since that's the case, how could Xu Xun be discovered when he was moving?"

Jun heard the words but smiled sarcastically: "They said that because Lan is Xu Xie's favorite sister, she did not hide from Lan subconsciously."

Killing people without being invisible, of course being discovered by the maids.

Unexpectedly, Jun said again: "A few days after Xu Xun was executed, I always felt that this was wrong, so I went to her bedroom secretly. Do you know what I found in the bedroom?"

What he said seemed to be asking Gao Yuyuan, and also seemed to be asking Xu Xun, who he couldn't see at all.

Hearing his words at this moment, Xu Xun was also full of doubts, even expectations. From the beginning to the end, she was not sure whether those people were killed by herself, whether Qin Sui also died under her own hands, whether she herself Did he really attack Lan again?
She is the person involved in these matters, but she doesn't know any of them, and she relies on others to tell the story.

"In the incense burner, there are still ashes of weed grass that haven't been cleaned up." When Jun saw this thing at the time, he was almost sure that on the day when Lan and Xu Xun were sleeping in the palace, someone lit the weed grass in Xu Xun's incense burner .

Pygmy grass is colorless and odorless, but people who smell it will lose themselves and regard everything they see as ghosts.And Lan was clearly given the antidote in advance, so only Xu Xun was poisoned, and that's why the maids saw the scene where she was tightly choking Lan's neck, as if she was going to put Lan to death.

"In this way, isn't her maid the only one who can ignite weeds in Xuxie's bedroom?" If this is the case, then if you search along the maid, you will definitely find the main messenger behind it.

Unexpectedly, Jun shook his head helplessly: "I haven't even started to investigate, but I seem to have been discovered by the other party. Suddenly a fire broke out in Xuxie's bedroom, and all the maids were buried in it."

"In that case, the clues have been completely broken." Although Gao Yuyuan couldn't listen to their one-sided words, but Gao Yuyuan thought about it carefully, there were many loopholes in Xu Xun's murder.Most importantly, if she really killed someone, it would be impossible for her to stay in the Yang Realm forever.It's just a pity that after the death of the mermaid here, it leads to the ruins, and it is impossible for him to summon them, otherwise, if he summons the souls of those tragic deaths and asks them, the truth will come to light.

Xu Xun, who was originally blaming and remorseful, seemed to understand the reason why he couldn't go to Guixu when he heard Jun's words, but if those people were really not killed by him, then the murderer behind them is still at large.Even Qin Sui was killed, so Yuan, and Lan and Qi, wouldn't they also escape?
Xu Xie was full of worries, and was so anxious that she pulled Gao Yuyuan to her knees and begged regardless of her status: "Girl, I beg you to help me."

"How can I help?" You must have asked the wrong person, even if you ask an ordinary mermaid for help, it is better than yourself as a foreigner.

Unexpectedly, at the same time, Jun also said to her: "I can't see Xu Xie being wronged, and I can't tolerate that murderer getting away with it, so please help me!"

Gao Yuyuan looked at the cousins ​​for a while, with such a good understanding, how could she refuse?So I had to ask, "How can I help?"

"Young lady can see Xuxuan, so I'll ask her to be my eyes." When Jun said this, his eyes were looking at the empty space next to Gao Yuyuan.Is Xu Xun sitting there?

"Okay." Gao Yuyuan didn't refuse, it's not a big deal, but it's just a little effort, and she didn't want to catch the murderer by herself.Moreover, she still needs to know how to get to Jianmu, and maybe Jun will help when the time comes.

At this moment, Xu Xuan said, "I want to see Lan, does she hate me very much?"

Gao Yuyuan passed the words to Jun, and Jun's expression changed obviously, but he said immediately: "In that case, I will take you into the palace tomorrow morning, but..." He paused for a moment, a little worried Looking in the direction of Xu Xing.

"What's wrong with Lan?" Seeing his expression, Xu Xie suddenly became worried and asked hurriedly.

But Jun slowly lowered his head, and after a while he said slowly: "Lan fell off the coral reef half a month ago, and his tail fin was scratched, and it was very serious. I'm afraid he won't be able to move freely in the sea again."

"What?" Xu Xun's emotions instantly became agitated, and his blood-stained face appeared very distorted for a moment.

As a mermaid, but unable to fly freely in the sea, how much inferiority would this cause her young heart? "How could this be? She's still so young?" She was so anxious that she burst into tears.Gao Yuyuan looked at her sideways, although her bloody face looked a little scary, but her tears were not a drop of hypocrisy, and at this moment, she was only instinctively worried about her sister, not like other people One glance to blame others.

It stands to reason that at this moment, shouldn't most of the maids who serve Lan be blamed?
In this way, it can be seen that Xu Xie is a kind person, even if she suffers from sleepwalking, it is impossible for her to do such a thing.Therefore, Gao Yuyuan was more and more certain that Xu Xun might not have killed anyone, not even one. As for why she woke up in the morning with bloody hands, it might be closely related to the maid she was burned to death in the fire.

It's just a pity that the court lady died a long time ago, otherwise maybe something could be found out.

At this time, Jun suddenly raised his head and looked at Gao Yuyuan: "I don't think this is accidental."

"Why do you think?" Doubt is normal, but what about evidence?Or...Gao Yuyuan subconsciously looked towards Xu Xun, could it be related to Xu Xun's matter?
