Chapter 301 The lingering ghost
The man who was shouting that something bad had happened was a middle-aged man in the early stage of foundation building. Tian Lin recognized him as the younger brother of the Shang clan leader.

At this moment, when Tian Lin pushed the door open, he saw Mei Xiangu and Ju Yunhai had left the house before him.

The three of them walked towards the middle-aged man, and Mei Xiangu asked in a bad tone, "Who is missing this time?"

The middle-aged man looked grim. He said, "The entire Shang family has disappeared without a trace."

This sentence made everyone present stunned. Mei Xiangu asked him first: "Where is your family leader? Where are your elders? And where are the five idiots from the Shi family?"

The middle-aged man said, "Only my eldest brother, the great elder, and several Taoist friends from the Shi family were there. Those who were below the foundation-building stage disappeared overnight."

Tian Lin looked at Ju Yunhai after hearing this and asked him, "Where is the Shang clan leader now?"

"My eldest brother asked me to invite three fellow Taoists to the lobby to discuss matters together."

Tian Lin and others knew where the store lobby was, so they followed the middle-aged man to the lobby.

At this time, shops were decorated with white placards everywhere, and the lobby was also decorated as a mourning hall.

I saw a red coffin parked in the mourning hall, and on the left and right of the red coffin sat the five brothers of the corpse family.

In addition, sitting next to Boss Corpse were the Shang clan leader and the Shang elders.

When Tian Lin and his companions appeared, only the Shang clan leader and the Shang elders quickly stood up.

Elder Shang looked pale and depressed as he said, "Thousands of people in my clan were attacked by an evil spirit overnight."

The corpse boss sat on the chair and said in a loud voice: "This evil spirit doesn't seem to be completely without wisdom. It also knows how to pick on the weak."

After the eldest corpse finished speaking, the second corpse sneered and said, "Whether it is an evil spirit or an evil person, it is hard to say."

Elder Shang, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help it anymore. He looked at the second and first sons of the Shi family:

"You two can just speak directly if you want to talk. Why beat around the bush? Aren't you just suspecting that the evil spirit is the young patriarch of my Shang family in disguise?"

"Are you finally willing to admit it?"

Boss Corpse stood up and said, "Your young patriarch of the Shang family was seriously injured, so he had the evil idea of ​​devouring human souls to strengthen himself - in fact, this is nothing, after all, the world is no longer so opposed to soul cultivation.

What's more, your young patriarch is eating his own family, which has nothing to do with us, so why be so sneaky?"

Elder Shang's face darkened, and he questioned Boss Shi: "When did I admit that it was my young patriarch who impersonated the evil spirit? You said it was my young patriarch who did it, but do you have any evidence?"

The second corpse laughed and took out a piece of paper from his storage bag: "I am just an incompetent person. When your young patriarch was possessed by your ancestor, I left your young patriarch's footprints.

Last night, my brothers and I wanted to find out which evil spirit was causing trouble, so we placed ashes at the door. Now we finally found the evil spirit's footprints - look, aren't these footprints your young master's?"

One of the two pieces of paper had a pair of bloody footprints on it, and the other had black footprints on it.

But although the colors are different, the footprints are exactly the same.

The faces of the Shang elders and the Shang clan leader changed. The corpse elder was overjoyed and asked, "So, can you still deny it now?"

The Shang clan leader quickly said: "I don't know about this matter, and my son never told me about it."

However, Fairy Mei gave Chief Shang a strange look and asked him, "Could your son be a cultivator from the Goddess Sect?" Chief Shang did not understand what Fairy Mei said, but Tian Lin and Ju Yunhai did.

The Goddess Sect never recruits male disciples, and the female disciples of the Goddess Sect are almost all barefoot.

Especially going barefoot has almost become the standard for the Goddess Sect, because other cultivators, both men and women, rarely walk barefoot.

The red footprints left by the Shi brothers were made when they took off Mr. Shang's shoes.

But the black footprints were different. They were clearly made by Young Master Shang himself.

In addition to the disciples of the Goddess Sect, there may be some cultivators who like to walk barefoot, but this definitely does not include Young Master Shang from the Shang family.

After Master Shang disappeared, Mei Xiangu and Ju Yunhai asked about him a lot, but they had never heard that he had such a habit.

"Miss Mei means that this Mr. Shang is fake?"

"The body cannot be false."

As soon as Tian Lin asked the question, Ju Yunhai spoke first: "Even if it is a disguise, it is impossible to completely disguise the footprints. So it can be predicted that the one who left the black footprints last night was indeed Mr. Shang."

"That is to say, Master Shang may have turned into an evil spirit, or maybe Master Shang has not turned into an evil spirit, but is pretending to be an evil spirit to do bad things."

When Mei Xiangu said this, she looked at the Shang clan leader and said, "Could it be that your precious son has lost his mind after being possessed by a ghost? What on earth does he want to do?"

Patriarch Shang was speechless for a moment.

Just when the Shang clan leader was speechless, Tian Lin suddenly said, "Young Master Shang may be dead, and the evil spirit that the Shang family is causing now may be the ancestor of the Shang family."

The boss of the Corpse immediately denied it, "It's impossible. The ancestor of the Corpse family is still in my jar. How could it break my jar and cause trouble outside? Mr. Tian, ​​are you deliberately looking for trouble by saying this?"

Tian Lin shook his head and said, "It should be said that what's in your jar is just a remnant of the soul of the Shang family ancestor. The rest is probably still in the body of the Shang family master."

Tian Lin said this and asked Yun Hai and Shang Elder: "You two entered the sea of ​​consciousness with me, so you should still remember the situation when the Shang Ancestor and Mr. Shang merged."

Ju Yunhai nodded and said, "At that time, half of the combined soul was the Shang family ancestor, and the other half was the Shang family master."

"Although we have forcibly separated their souls, they have been fused for too long. Can they really be separated completely? Moreover, both of them are half remnant souls, and part of them have turned into mist. Is it true that there are no remnant souls hidden in the sea of ​​consciousness?"

Tian Lin finished speaking, and said: "I suspect that at this time, Master Shang has also become an evil spirit and has become a part of the Shang family's ancestors."

The boss over there rarely agreed with Tian Lin's conclusion. He said:
"Then everything is easy to explain. The Shang family ancestor occupied the body of Mr. Shang, so Mr. Shang's footprints were left behind. And he steals people every day just to eat their souls to repair himself."

"He is originally an evil spirit in the late stage of foundation building, about to reach the golden elixir stage. Now that he has eaten so many people, I wonder how powerful he is?"

Tian Lin asked the head of the Shang family, "Head of the Shang family, are you going to hold the funeral for your ancestor now?"

Because of the funeral for his ancestor, the Shang clan leader's wife and children had all been killed. At this moment, he felt indescribable hatred for his ancestor, so he gnashed his teeth and said:

"Why hold a funeral? I just want to spend all my family wealth and refine this old man into a soul lamp. If I had known that he would bring disaster to my descendants, I should have sold him directly to the Xiangxi Sect and earned some spirit stones."

"What's the point of talking about this? What we should consider now is how to deal with your ancestor. According to my guess, it has already set its sights on us. If we don't get rid of it, I'm afraid it will haunt us."
