Chapter 54 Returning empty-handed
That night, Xu Yu sprinkled incense ash around the old house according to Fu Yuan's instructions. They didn't dare to sleep directly, so they had to take turns to watch the night.
There were no less than ten inexplicable knocks on the door throughout the night, as well as various human voices from outside, and some even imitated the voices of Xu Yu's acquaintances. If it weren't for headphones, Xu Yu wouldn't be able to sleep.
He has never felt such a tormented night, and the time seems to be prolonged.
Finally, when the cock crowed, those weird noises disappeared.
Xu Yu was completely relieved and fell asleep, Fu Yuan's eyes were also bloodshot, and he leaned on the opposite sofa with his eyes closed and rested.
They slept until eleven o'clock, and this time there was a real knock on the door.
Xu Yu opened the door with messy hair and a greasy face. After opening the door, there stood a middle-aged man in an old camouflage uniform with sharp eyes.
"Is it the one who wants to dig a grave?" The man looked at Xu Yu and asked in a dialect, which obviously did not belong to Huakai Town and its surrounding areas.
Xu Yu didn't even think about letting go, the man entered the door and walked towards the main room. When the man saw Fu Yuan, he said, "You want to dig a grave?"
Fu Yuan nodded: "A tomb, twelve o'clock at noon, have you brought your tools?"
"It's all ready, let's go." The middle-aged man was expressionless, like a bricklayer who just came to paint the wall.
Fu Yuan glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's too early, wait, Xu Yu, serve tea."
"Tea?" Xu Yu scratched her hair, went to the kitchen to boil some hot water, and found some scented tea from the cupboard to brew.
When tea was served, Fu Yuan came out of the bathroom, apparently washed up.
So Xu Yu put down his tea and went to wash up too. After fully waking up, it was noon.
Now that the people in the town had returned to their homes for dinner, it was convenient for them to do things. When they walked to the small forest, Xu Yu could still see Zhong Xiazi's collapsed house.
"You stay here and watch the wind." Fu Yuan suddenly turned around and said to Xu Yu.
"Ah? Okay." Xu Yu stopped. He really didn't want to stay here alone. After all, the entire Huakai Town was the territory of that ghost king.
He took out the protective bead Fu Yuan gave him and put it in front of his body, thinking in his heart that no one should come.
After about an hour or so, there were already people walking around in the town one after another. Xu Yu looked inside, worried why it was not healed.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, Fu Yuan and the man ran out quickly.
"How is it?" Xu Yu asked.
Fu Yuan shook his head, and the man cursed: "It's all turned into ashes, there's nothing left."
Xu Yu was a little disappointed, he couldn't find the soul bone, thinking that he had to stay here.
After Fu Yuan settled the bill, the man left immediately. Xu Yu asked, "Should we leave quickly? Otherwise, when the villagers find out that the tomb has been destroyed, we will suffer."
Fu Yuan: "The tomb is not destroyed."
Xu Yu was full of question marks. He took a few steps forward, and he was able to see the general's tomb in the open space in the distance. It was really surprising that there was no trace of destruction.
"He did it?" Xu Yu asked.
Fu Yuan said "Yes", and Xu Yu thought to himself, no wonder he wanted to invite this person, he seemed to be a craftsman, but if that was the case, no approval would be needed.
"If the spirit bone isn't in the tomb, where else could it be?" Xu Yu asked on the way back.
Fu Yuan still shook his head, Xu Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be on Kong Chun's body? All the ghosts have followed him a long way."
Fu Yuan stopped, looked at Xu Yu and asked, "Him?"
Xu Yu nodded, and Fu Yuan looked at Huakai Town. Since Kong Chun left, Huakai Town's ghostly aura has indeed faded. At first he thought it was hiding, but now that he thinks about it, there are other reasons.
If the ghosts under the ghost king's orders leave the jurisdiction, some of them will take the opportunity to escape the control, but they all follow Kong Chun, which only shows that the things that control them have not gone away.
"Contact Kong Chun and let him come back."
