Chapter 255: Weird 【17】
When Yuan Jia crossed over, the original owner took Xuejiazhuang to run around, and they all went to Qingyang County, which is 18,000 miles away from Wuxi City.
As a result, as soon as he took Xue Jiazhuang back to the original site of Xuejiazhuang outside Wuxi City, he welcomed three uninvited guests from Jiang Li and Xue Yuanjing, the male protagonist's younger brother, and then followed Xue Yuanjing into Beijing. The only time he came back in recent years was to retreat, annex, and knock on the door. A woman's power of rules.
After all, Yuan Jia didn't stay at the original site of Xuejiazhuang outside Wuxi City for long.
He also didn't use his divine sense to scan the surroundings all the time, that would consume too much divine sense.
Without deliberately searching, Yuan Jia would not find any ghosts hiding near Xuejiazhuang.
He explained to Xue Yuanjing: "You also know that I can move at will, and I don't often stay outside Wuxi City, so I really haven't checked whether there are other ghosts near Xuejiazhuang."
Xue Yuanjing said: "Then let's go take a look now."
Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing went to the vicinity of the original site of Xuejiazhuang to search for the possible ghost king's subordinate.
Yuan Jia's consciousness spread, and as soon as the two left the city, he sensed something was wrong, and pointed the way: "This way."
Xue Yuanjing followed his directions.
The two walked all the way to a grave near Xuejiazhuang, sensing that the Yin Qi here is much thicker than other places, Yuan Jia said: "There is a Yin Qi left by a powerful ghost here, other than that, there is no one. Only ghosts."
Although this is a cemetery, the probability of anyone who can go to the ground safely is extremely low, and the probability of turning into a ghost after death is extremely low, so the ghost that left these yin qi should use the cemetery as a place to hide itself.
Yuan Jia carefully inspected the cemetery and said solemnly: "This ghost has been abandoned here. It has been away for a long time, almost three years ago."
He felt that this time was a bit subtle, because after he crossed over, the time when he returned from Qingyang County to outside Wuxi City was exactly three years ago.
Could it be that this ghost ran away after discovering that Xuejiazhuang had returned?
It shouldn't be, how can a wise ghost be afraid of the weirdness that will only appear in Xuejiazhuang?
Weirdness is powerful, but powerful and strangeness may not be more harmful than ghosts. For example, the original owner stayed in Xuejiazhuang all the time, and only those thieves who refused to knock on the door seriously would die in Xuejiazhuang.
If this ghost was really afraid of the weirdness of Xuejiazhuang, it would not choose a tomb so close to Xuejiazhuang as a hiding place.
Yuan Jia couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it for the time being, and tracked it according to the yin qi left by the ghost.
The two left Wuxi City, followed the clues of Yin Qi for several cities, and finally ended up in a big city called Yuyang City.
The two of them found the last breath left by the ghost they tracked down in a remote and deserted house.
This deserted house is called a haunted house by the locals. It is said that many people have died, and the death is so strange and miserable that no one dares to approach it, and it has been abandoned for more than ten years.
The last breath of the ghost was dissipated in the deserted house, that is to say, it was killed here.
Killed by whom? Ghost Slayer or other ghosts?
Yuan Jia inspected the deserted house and found no ghosts and strange whereabouts, so he and Xue Yuanjing went to the Night Watch Division branch in Yuyang City to call up records about the deserted house.
This deserted house is called a haunted house in Yuyang City, so the night watchman will definitely solve this matter. No matter whether the deserted house is really haunted or rumors spread, the night watchman will record it.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing came to the Night Watch, and as soon as they revealed their identities, they saw an acquaintance hurried out: "Master Xue, Mu Ye, why did you come to Yuyang City?"
The person who came was a dark night with a few more strands of white hair and an older look.
Xue Yuanjing said in surprise: "We should have asked you this question. We came to Yuyang City by following the clues of the ghosts under the command of the Ghost King. You are not in the night watchman in the capital, why are you here?"
Hei Ye showed a speechless expression and asked: "I only sent you a message two months ago. The Lan family is going to change the head of the family. As a representative of the night watchman, I will witness it."
The Ghost Exorcist family is still relatively closely linked with the imperial court night watchman. The first family of ghost clearer like the Lan family, the change of the power of the patriarch, is a turmoil of the ghost clearer power, and the night watchman can't ignore it.
Xue Yuanjing also remembered that it seemed like this happened in two months, but because it had nothing to do with them, and it happened to catch up with the troubles of He Guanjia Jiu occupying the magpie's nest, he forgot about it.
Xue Yuanjing smiled embarrassedly and asked, "Does the Lan family live in this Yuyang City?"
Hei Ye shook his head and said, "The Lan family lives in Qiulan Valley outside Yuyang City." As the first family of ghost slayers, the Lan family became more and more arrogant as time went on. Disdain to live with ordinary people in the same place.
Originally, the Lan family still built a manor outside Yuyang City for their family to live in, and it was not so isolated from the world.
But not long after Lan Baoer's father became the head of the family, he sent someone to find a beautiful but remote valley outside Yuyang City, named it Qiulan Valley, and started construction on a grand scale, bringing the Lan family to the family. Moved into Qiulan Valley, and lived away from the world, disdain for ordinary people to live together in the same place.
Now the Lan family has lived in Qiulan Valley for more than 30 years.
Hei Ye asked Xue Yuanjing and Yuan Jia, "The Lan family will pass on his title to his daughter in five days. Do you want to join us?"
Xue Yuanjing glanced at Yuan Jia and nodded to Hei Ye: "Since everyone is here, it's not a good idea to miss it."
Yuan Jia suddenly asked, "Could it be that Lan Baoer's daughter, Lan Baoer?"
Hei Ye nodded and said, "Yes, it's Miss Lan Baoer."
Yuan Jia was a little surprised: "Lan Baoer's spiritual sense seems to be very low. Does she have no problem with the rest of the Lan family? Doesn't she have a younger brother, Lan Yu? Lan Yu's spiritual sense is quite high."
Hei Ye explained: "Lan Yu is the son of Lan Patriarch's younger brother, not his biological son. Patriarch Lan has only one daughter, Lan Baoer, and she is a very old daughter, and she is particularly spoiled. This time, he insisted on passing on the title of Patriarch to Lan Baoer, the rest of the Lan family will definitely not give up, but I think it should not be a problem to suppress those opposing voices with the strength of the Lan family..."
Hei Ye took advantage of the situation to talk to Xue Yuanjing and Yuan Jia about the situation of the Lan family.
The Lan family's situation is also quite complicated. The Lan family's head is absolutely the strongest, and no one dares to do anything in front of him. Otherwise, a woman with a low spiritual sense in Lan Baoer would not have a good life in the Lan family.
It is a pity that the Lan family head often retreats and does not like to manage affairs. Most of the affairs of the Lan family are handed over to his younger brothers and sisters to manage.
Except for the Ghost Master family, they would not let their powerful clansmen marry outside, so women with strong spiritual senses from the Lan family were all recruits and did not marry outside.
With the power in the hands of Lan Patriarch's younger brothers and sisters, they naturally have ambitions.
Among them, Uncle Lan is the most important, because Uncle Lan's son Lan Yu has a good relationship with Lan Baoer, so he has the most power and naturally has the greatest ambition.
Patriarch Lan is much older than his younger brothers and sisters. Uncle Lan has always wanted to kill Patriarch Lan and become the Patriarch himself, but he can't. Let his son Lan Yu be the Patriarch. The big room was moved to the second room.
No one has considered the possibility of Lan Baoer inheriting the position of the head of the family, because Lan Baoer is a woman, or a woman with a low spiritual sense. In the eyes of the rest of the Lan family, Lan Baoer is destined to get married sooner or later, and it's just a matter of coaxing her for the sake of her father's face.
But I didn't expect that Patriarch Lan chose to abdicate early when he was still alive, and still passed the title of Patriarch to his daughter Lan Baoer.
If Lan Baoer was about to die in his own right, and passed on the title of owner to Lan Baoer, Lan Baoer would not be able to keep it. But he wasn't dead yet. In the heyday, Hei Ye believed that with his powerful strength, he could completely suppress any dissent from the Lan family.
However, Hei Ye still reminded Xue Yuanjing: "You still have to be careful when you go to Lan's house. It is estimated that on the day Lan Baoer takes the throne, it will not be peaceful."
Once the ambition is born, it is difficult to control it. Those Lan family members who are ambitious and coveted the position of the head of the family will not be able to watch Lan Baoer succeed.
Maybe they might wait for Lan Patriarch to die before attacking Lan Baoer, but who knows if it will take a few years, ten years or decades?
When Lan Baoer sits as the head of the family for a few years, her position will be solid, and the possibility of pulling her down is too low and too low.
The Lan family only had the head of the family who died or voluntarily abdicated, and the head of the family who had never been forced out of the position of the head of the family. Because this kind of precedent must not be set, it is a great blow to the authority of the head of the family. Those who want to be the head of the family will also consciously maintain this unspoken rule, which is also to safeguard their own interests after becoming the head of the family.
Therefore, when Lan Baoer has not officially succeeded to the throne, it is the best time for those careerists to start.
Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing listened to the internal factional struggle in the Lan family from the night.
Neither of them were very interested, and after listening to it, they sighed and threw it away.
Xue Yuanjing told Hei Ye about the business: "I want to check the records about the haunted house in the north of the city."
Hei Ye was also not long after he came to the Yuyang City Night Watch Division Branch. He didn't understand the affairs of the branch, so he sent someone to call the person in charge of the Night Watch Division Branch and asked him to help Xue Yuanjing find out the relevant records of the haunted house in the north of the city.
Unexpectedly, when the person in charge heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "I know this, and I will solve the ghosts in that haunted house. It is strange to say that when rumors of ghosts in the haunted house first spread, I sent the ghosts to remove them. The teacher went to solve it, and found that it was a deserted house with no ghosts. But six months ago, a strong yin qi suddenly erupted from the deserted house. When I drove out, I found that a powerful ghost was occupying the place, and I immediately tried to get rid of it. got it..."
After listening to the description from the person in charge, Yuan Jia asked, "Is there anything unusual about that ghost? For example, it has regained consciousness, like a human being?"
The person in charge was stunned for a moment and recalled it carefully. Fortunately, it was only half a year ago. He still remembered the process of the battle, and hesitantly said: "It seems to be a bit cunning, if it weren't for my strange items that restrain ghosts, maybe And let it escape."
Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing looked at each other.
Obviously, the ghost died in the hands of the head of the night watch division branch.
Unexpectedly, the clue was cut off.
