Chapter 395 The Secret of the Guide
The story told by the wronged soul involves a person who has been ignored by everyone.
The local guide to the underworld.
"You said that you were lured and killed by a ghost-like existence?"
In the hall, Du Fu Ya frowned.
The wronged soul knelt on the ground and cried.
"That's right, sir!"
"I was tricked by a ghost holding a black flag and taken outside the city. I suddenly felt dizzy and fell down, hitting my head and dying!"
According to the wronged soul's detailed account, the dark immortal holding the pitch-black flag not only deceived him, but also seemed to have misled quite a few people.
After this person died, the moment his soul left his body, he saw the Dark Immortal again.
When he regained consciousness, he heard the flag in the hands of the Dark Immortal and the wailing of countless souls.
The Dark Immortal controlled him with a flag and said that he wanted to put the blame on him for some recent events.
Then, a few days later, a murder occurred outside the capital.
The deceased was someone he knew, and the cause of death was poisoning.
The family of the deceased might have also been influenced and inexplicably pointed the finger at him as the murderer.
Then, accidental death turned into suicide out of fear of punishment.
This person was led by the Dark Immortal, saw the whole process, and understood everything. Suddenly, he felt unwilling, and then resentment invaded his heart, and he lost consciousness.
Listening to the description of the wronged soul, Li Yuan frowned.
The guide is a ghost from the underworld, not a demon or evil creature. If he were to use his divine power to cause trouble secretly, the noise would be too small for him to detect.
Especially this kind of "unexpected" way of death. Now that the number of people in Anyue is large, it is inevitable that it happens every once in a while.
However, the addition of the title of "murderer" committing suicide out of fear of punishment made the matter a little more complicated.
No matter how carefully the human officials investigated, they would not be able to trace the cause to the guide.
However, if this guide was secretly causing trouble, why would he take the initiative to send this wronged soul to Gu Jian?
Why are they maliciously detaining a large number of living souls, not sending them to reincarnation, but instead condensing them into soul-calling flags?
Even the resentment of this wronged soul seemed to be formed deliberately by the guide.
Aren’t you afraid that Gu Jian and Li Yuan will come to investigate after finding out about this?
The behavior of the guide is somewhat mysterious and difficult to understand.
After the wronged soul finished crying, Du Fu Ya and Gu Jian looked at each other and both felt that there was trouble.
"This involves matters of ghosts and gods. I'm afraid that even if I decide to hunt down the murderer, it will be difficult to do so."
"I wonder what the Mountain God and Gu Chenghuang think?"
Du Fu Ya frowned, with a questioning look on his old face.
He had already recalled what happened to this person.
This incident did happen a while ago, and he dispatched a large number of yamen runners to track down clues.
It's a pity that in the end, there was only the suspicion of "suicide out of fear of punishment", and there was no other evidence.
Gu Jian also rubbed his fingers lightly, thinking:
"This guide deliberately asked us to investigate this matter. I'm afraid he has other purposes."
"Firstly, it may be to test me, to see if I will get entangled in this matter, and whether I can go along with him."
"Secondly, I'm afraid... he wants to meet the God of Anshan Mountain."
Gu Jian sat in the dark and gloomy Yinming Hall and slowly looked at Li Yuan.
The wronged soul was still sobbing and saw Li Yuan, hoping that the officials in the underworld and the mountain gods would prove his innocence.
It wasn't him who poisoned that person he knew!
Even his own death was not an accident, but was induced by someone and influenced by an unknown force!
Li Yuan looked at the wronged soul and said to comfort him:
"Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you and the others who were killed."
Hearing this, Gu Jian knew that Li Yuan was going to investigate further.
He immediately looked at the wronged soul and said:
"You are full of resentment now, why don't you serve as a ghost soldier under my command and vent your resentment."
"After you have dealt with this matter, you can be reincarnated."
The wronged soul was stunned for a long time before he realized that he was already a soul and not a living person.
After being distraught for a long time, I finally accepted this fact.
"My parents, my little son, have pity on me..."
The wronged souls were crying and feeling depressed.
The capital government also spoke to appease the people:
"I have remembered your identity. Since you are a victim, not a murderer, I will ask someone to take better care of your relatives."
"At least, they won't be left in poverty and will have a peaceful life."
Anyue is rich and powerful, and has always cared deeply for the old and the young.
The wronged soul sighed and nodded, feeling much more relieved. He quickly bowed to the government office, and also quickly bowed to Li Yuan and Gu Jian.
The dream is gone.
The yamen constructed in the dream turned into invisible smoke.
The old Du Fu Ya came out of his dream, but he did not wake up, but continued to sleep peacefully.
It was not until the early morning that I slowly woke up, feeling my muscles and bones relaxed and my whole body relaxed.
That was when the dream ended. Li Yuan took into consideration the boy's old age and frailty, his hard work during the day, and being dragged to judge cases at night. He was worried that he could not bear it, so he used his magic to nourish him.
Remembering what he had dreamed, he washed up in the government office, quickly put on his clothes, and went to the government office.
"Somebody come!"
"Bring up all the records of the recent murders, whether accidental or not, natural causes or deaths from illness, all of them!"
The governor of the capital looked dignified and began to thoroughly investigate all the murder cases.
This is undoubtedly a huge project, and the elderly governor will be busy for a while.
During the day.
Behind a certain illusory vagina.
Gu Jian sat in the gloomy City God's Mansion, dressed in black, with a strong gloomy aura, and a face that seemed to have a cold and eerie look.
He sent out all his two hundred ghost soldiers.
"Guard Anyue Capital strictly at night. If you find any trace of the Netherworld Guide, report it immediately."
"If you discover that he is taking actions that affect mortals, stop him immediately!"
The ghost soldiers had dull expressions on their faces, without much emotion, and they immediately responded with loud shouts.
The sun is scorching during the day, and even ghost soldiers cannot stay in the sun for a long time.
So, I had to stand guard at night.
When the officials in the underworld and the living began to take action.
Li Yuan returned to Anshan and made his own voice.
"I am named after the ancient mountain god of Anshan."
"Call the local guide, come to see me quickly!"
Li Yuan pinched a seal with one hand and used the art of exorcising spirits from the 72 Earthly Fiends to forcibly summon the guide of this area.
Of course, one can only command immortals and gods of lower rank than oneself, and there needs to be a certain causal relationship between their position and one's own divine post or past.
An invisible wave spread out.
Li Yuan sat cross-legged under an old tree on the hilltop, waiting for the other party to arrive.
Although exorcising a spirit is a forced call, if the other party resists, you can refuse to obey.
However, this guide had obviously done something evil; and it seemed as if he had deliberately let Li Yuan know about the matter of the wronged soul.
If I avoid you now, you will be confused and reluctant to come and see me.
At that time... don't blame him for picking up his sword and looking for someone.
