Soon, there was movement outside.
Yun Chang walked out of the study quickly, and saw that in the yard, Xu Er's body had been doused with medicated oil, and the fire had already started, spreading quickly all over his body.
Xu Er seemed to feel no pain at all, and kept rushing towards the ghost doctor.
Yun Chang's eyes fixed on Xu Er's face, jumped up, and lifted the skin on Xu Er's neck that was a little bit curled up by the fire. That layer of skin was pasted on. It was a completely unfamiliar face.
As the flames grew stronger, Xu Er's whole body was scorched black, and he fell to the ground, but was still moving.
After a while, the corpse stopped struggling...
Yun Shang's face turned cold: "The living dead."
Just now the ghost doctor put the medicine in the lamp oil, and Niu Qing took the medicine as soon as he entered the house, but Xu Er was not affected at all like an ordinary person.
As soon as she was reminded by the ghost doctor, she realized something was wrong.
The first thought that flashed through my mind was the living dead.
The drug was mixed in the lamp oil and diffused in the air, as long as one breathed it would be attacked, only the living dead did not need to breathe...
"Summon the hidden guards and surround Miaoshoutang, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. If anyone wants to leave, they will be killed."
"yes."
The ghost doctor raised his eyes to look at Yunshang, his eyes were a little puzzled, Yunshang pursed his lips, was silent for a moment, and then took a deep breath: "The living dead of the Wu clan, although if the person who refines the living dead has profound skills, The refined living dead can be like ordinary people, and there are almost no clues in their words and deeds."
"However, because it is a living dead person, it is just a marionette. Since it is a marionette, there must be a stringer. The stringer should not be too far away from the living dead. I can't control it anymore."
The ghost doctor responded: "When was this Xu Er replaced? What happened to the real Xu Er...?"
This is also the question that Yunshang has been thinking about. Yunshang was silent for a while, and thought about the details of getting along with Xu Er recently: "It shouldn't be long before I was replaced."
"It should be today."
"And it should be after I return to Miaoshoutang."
Yun Shang carefully sorted out the chaotic thoughts in her mind: "Before I was afraid that I would be controlled by Gu insects and didn't know, so every morning, noon and night, Xu Er would try to use some code questions that only he and I knew Try it out."
"He tried it both this morning and at noon."
"These probing questions, other than me and him, no one else knows. It is testing me, and it is also testing him."
Yun Shang paced back and forth in the room: "After I woke up, he kept calling me madam. At the beginning, I still felt that he was probably because I just woke up, and he wasn't sure if I was me. Afraid of causing unnecessary trouble and being discovered by the Wu tribe, so I yelled like this on purpose."
"But I just thought about it carefully. After I revealed my identity, when he talked to me later, his title still didn't change."
Yunshang narrowed her eyes: "It's just that the person behind him should be amazing. I asked Xu Er so many questions before, and he answered them all fluently. The only thing that seemed wrong was nothing more than..."
Yun Shang's voice became colder: "It was only when I mentioned He Chuling and Gu worms that I looked at me a few more times."
"At that time, he probably didn't expect that I would know about the Gu worms, and that He Chuling is the great wizard of the witch clan."
Yun Shang recalled what she had said before, and felt a little irritable in her heart: "The person who pulled the thread must be found for him. If not, we have already scared the snake this time. Once the news spreads, everything , it’s all messed up.”
Yun Chang stood up and walked back and forth a few times around the corpse of the living dead: "The person hiding in the dark probably hasn't guessed my real identity, and doesn't know that there are hidden guards here. , He knows such a big secret, the first thing he should do is to report it to the Wu people."
"We just have to wait, wait for someone to sit on the sidelines."
Yun Shang took a deep breath, and remembered that there were still people waiting in her study, so she said again: "Go back and interrogate the carriage driver in the study."
"Since the Wu people have placed such powerful people in my Miaoshou Hall, it means that He Chuling either doubts me, or attaches great importance to me."
"Besides, since there are sorcerers who can manipulate the living dead in the Miaoshou Hall, the person who reports the news from the carriage driver should be the one who pulls the thread. Maybe, a breakthrough can be made from the carriage driver."
Yun Chang hurried back to the study, and the carriage driver named Niu Qing was still standing there, motionless.
"You said that you have newly improved this medicine, but it has been improved so that it can be used on people infected with Gu insects?"
The ghost doctor nodded: "Regardless of whether the Gu was awakened or not, as long as the things he has experienced, he actually still exists in his memory, it's just that the Gu has been infected. Because of being controlled by the Gu insects, their minds are not controlled by themselves, so it seems that they have forgotten all the things they have experienced before."
"But in fact, he didn't forget. Therefore, after I improved the medicine, even if the Gu worm was awakened, as long as he had experienced things before, he would unconsciously say it."
Yun Chang responded, if it was normal, she would have praised the ghost doctor.
It's just that today, but there is really no such effort.
Yun Shang just stood in front of Niu Qing and looked at him fixedly: "Where did you drive the carriage earlier and took me?"
Niu Qing raised his eyes slightly and landed on Yunshang's face, as if he was trying to recognize her appearance: "I went to Miss He's."
"Where is Miss He?"
"In Yongnian Lane."
Yunshang's eyes fell on the map of Wu'an City on the side. The place where the living dead pretended to be Xu Erdian was in Yongnian Lane.
Yun Chang hooked the corner of her mouth, it was interesting, the person behind that was really interesting.
He actually told her the real place.
"Whose orders did you follow? The person who connected with you is in this Miaoshoutang?"
"In Miaoshoutang."
"who is it?"
"he is… "
Before Niu Qing's voice fell, Yunshang heard the faint sound of fighting.
Yun Chang raised her eyes, looked outside the door, and saw several people fighting together in the sky above Miaoshoutang in the night.
Yun Chang squinted her eyes, carefully identifying the appearance of the man surrounded by the dark guards by the moonlight.
"It's in charge."
"Staff?"
The voices of Yunshang and Niu Qing were intertwined, Yunshang's eyes were slightly fixed, and the light in his eyes was dark.
