Chapter 21 [Spiritual Transformation into Demon]

"who I am?"

The girl's body seemed to tremble.

There seemed to be some panic in her eyes, and her tone became hesitant. It took a long time before she timidly answered: "I, I, I am Yun Niang."

Zhang Jingxu smiled slightly and said unexpectedly: "I didn't ask for your name, I asked about your origin. If you didn't hear clearly, girl, then Zhang can ask again."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone noticed that the girl's body was shaking again.

Li San was smart and smart. He immediately cooperated with Zhang Jingxu's test and pretended to shout: "Could it be you who harmed people? You are the evil ghost!"

"No, it's not..."

Yun Niang exclaimed, her face turned pale with fright.

Relying on the support of Zhang Jingxu, Li San pretended to be a tiger and continued to drink, and said fiercely: "Do you really think we didn't see it? In fact, you are not a normal person! The little scholar is certainly a ghost, and you appeared in his home... so

, you are also a ghost!"

"However, it is a pity that things in life will probably not go as planned. Just when the little scholar was full of confidence, he was beaten to death in this well..."

Zhang Jingxu's long speech was endless and continuous. Finally, he stopped looking and looked at the girl in front of him again.

"For five consecutive days, one person died every day. However, after the Yamen sent people to conduct inspections, they determined that these people all died from normal deaths..."

But this time it was strange. Zhang Jingxu didn't seem to intend to do this. He even specifically waved his hand to Li San, indicating that Li San should step aside and not interfere.

Suddenly he sighed slightly, spoke with deep meaning, and said leisurely: "Scholars study at night, and spirit monsters come to accompany them. According to legend, if the mortal things in the world are immersed in people's hearts, they will gradually be tainted with spirituality and can turn into monsters.

Called a spirit demon, he is naturally kind..."

The government officials present were dumbfounded and felt it was unbelievable.

"So Zhang has inferred that the tofu eaten by the villagers did not come from you. And even if you really harmed the villagers, it was by no means your alone... You are just a kind spirit monster. You are not born with this kind of tofu."

ability."

People who are good at it do what they are good at.

When Zhang Jingxu said this, his eyes showed a touch of softness. He looked at Yun Niang who was embarrassed and panicked, and said with a warm smile: "Miss Yun Niang, why don't you let me tell you your story."

"He is still determined to make progress and longs for a better future. After he successfully participates in the imperial examination, he wants to change the lives of poor villagers."

"The little scholar studies hard and studies hard, and is both smart and charming. When he studies every night, the tofu statue that accompanies him will be contaminated with spiritual energy. Over time, the statue gradually becomes spiritual..."

However, what everyone expected was that Zhang Jingxu's face did not seem happy, but instead she frowned slightly, as if she was thinking deeply about something.

"But because he was too kind and unwilling to take revenge on the people in the village, he chose to forget it when he turned into a ghost."

"He became more confident and prepared to take part in the imperial examination."

"At that time, you told us that although he studied hard, he actually didn't like reading. What he really liked to do was a carving craft..."

"No matter how coincidental it is, it's impossible for people to die five days in a row, right? Moreover, these five dead people are all strong men. It is said that they are the strongest men in the whole village..."

Zhang Jingxu said, sighing slightly, and continued: "Actually, regardless of whether you answer or not, I have already guessed your identity."

"From this, I thought that when Miss Yun Niang appeared next to the desk when we were at the little scholar's home, there happened to be a bowl of steaming tofu placed on the desk..."

"We had already entered the house for a while by then. The government officials had already searched the house. With the shrewdness of people like them, it was impossible for them to ignore a bowl of steaming tofu..."

At this time, Yun Niang seemed to have a sad smile on her face, and she did not make any excuse. Instead, she sighed softly and said sadly: "It's me, everything is me. Those five people in the village were all harmed by me."

Dead."

"This kind of aura is not the aura of heaven and earth, but the spiritual aura of the scholar himself. We often say that knowledge makes people have a spirit. This spirit does not refer to gods, but the scholar's own charm."

"Then, can you tell me what methods you used to harm people, and how you made the villagers obey."

"Although his family is poor, he is determined to make progress, and a person who is determined to make progress will gain spiritual energy while studying."

"The material of this girl's statue is an ordinary piece of tofu."

This is a method used by people in public affairs. Regardless of whether it is true or false, they first try to shake things up, and even deliberately put a big hat on them to observe and test the suspect.

A long time passed before Zhang Jingxu spoke again, slowly saying: "I am still a little confused now, which makes Zhang feel that there is still a secret in this matter. Miss Yunniang, you are just a spirit monster. It is said that it is impossible to harm anyone.

The ability..."

"For example, why did the tofu eaten by the villagers kill them? If you had made the tofu, it would only contain the aura of the spirit demon. Not only would it not harm people, it would actually benefit them."

"That year, a little scholar carved a girl!"

However, Zhang Jingxu's face darkened and she said with piercing eyes: "No, you are lying. Spirit monsters like you are transformed by kindness. Even if you want to harm others, you are not capable of harming others at all.

…”

"Because of all the beautiful yearnings of the scholar, she was contaminated by the aura and charm of the scholar and turned into a demon. Therefore, she was born good and is a rare kind demon."

"Finally one day, she turned into a demon."

For example, when dealing with the little scholar before, Zhang Jingxu asked Li San to test him, while he watched from the sidelines and cooperated with each other tacitly.

"The obsession turns into a ghost!"

"Miss Yun Niang, you are the one who is harming others, right?"

"You're angry and you're taking revenge!"

"She was created because of the scholar's beautiful yearning, and the scholar poured his heart and soul into it. In the following days, she was placed on the desk to accompany the scholar every night."

"They all ate tofu before they died!"

"But why didn't they pay attention to this bowl of tofu in the first place?"

Immediately, everyone looked at Zhang Jingxu with admiration on their faces, and looked at Zhang Jingxu with burning eyes. With such a smart and capable leader, why should everyone worry about not being able to succeed in the future?

After asking this question, Yun Niang didn't seem to hesitate. Although her face was still miserable, she seemed to sneer deliberately:

"Do you need any means to harm people? Those villagers are so stupid!"

"In addition, the government officials told me that they discovered something unusual. There were traces of tofu remaining in the mouths of these dead people. Apparently, they all experienced the same thing before they died..."

"But unfortunately, something happened in the village!"

"Miss Yunniang, you are such a spirit demon, aren't you?"

"But how could this be a normal death?"

"He doesn't remember being beaten to death and thinks he is still a human being."

"Every night, scholars study hard."

"I just need to weakly call big brother, and they will obediently eat the tofu..."

"From then on, the poor scholars had someone to rely on. When they were working, they had someone to help them, and when they were studying, they were accompanied by red sleeves."

"Sir, please kill me. This concludes the case and lets Brother Sun Yun go, okay?"

"Although you are a naturally kind spirit demon, and although you were transformed by the little scholar's dexterity, when you see the little scholar die because of injustice, especially when he was beaten to death by the people he wanted to save..."

This has always been Zhang Jingxu's code of conduct, which is why he brought the government officials to investigate the case.

"When you were telling the story of the little scholar's past, you inadvertently revealed your own origins."

"And the time when this bowl of tofu appeared out of thin air was exactly the moment when Yun Niang missed you..."

When Zhang Jingxu said this, he suddenly sighed meaningfully and said: "It's not surprising that one person died, and it's not surprising that two people died. But five people died in a row, and everyone ate tofu. This is no longer normal."

, this is a technique that harms people."

"Maybe it's because he comes from a poor family and thinks that he is destined to be poor and cannot afford a wife, or maybe it's because he developed a longing for the girl when he was studying, so he wants to show all his beautiful thoughts about the slim girl... In short, no matter what the reason,

He poured his heart and soul into carving the girl."

"So, it's doubtful."

"The reason is simple, because this bowl of tofu appeared out of thin air!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jingxu looked at Yun Niang again, as if he was hesitant to speak, but also seemed to be filled with emotion.

Zhang Jingxu slowly stated his conclusion almost word by word.

"So, Miss Yun Niang, can you tell me honestly who is hiding in the dark to help you harm others?"

All the officials present were dumbfounded.

Just now, they thought that this matter could finally be closed, but after listening to Zhang Jingxu's speculation, they suddenly felt that the matter was still confusing.

If Yun Niang doesn’t have the power to harm others, then who can help her kill the villagers?

Could it be that there is another evil ghost in Sunjiazhuang...
