At this moment, I suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, Zhuxuan. Before you left, you said you wanted to settle Ye's soul well... What happened afterwards?"
When Zhu Xuan heard what I said, he showed a smile, stretched out his hand and rubbed the head of the golden retriever, "He is right in front of you now."
I was taken aback, looked at Zhuxuan, then at the golden retriever beside him, and asked in disbelief, "Could it be that..."
"That's right, it's exactly what you think." Zhu Xuan smiled, "After I separated from you, I met a starving stray dog on the side of the road. Originally, I didn't want to put Ye into the dog's body, but Unexpectedly, the jade escaped from my hand and flew towards the stray dog. Ye's soul just entered the body of the hunting dog. Later, when I thought about it, I'm afraid Ye saw my eagerness, so it became what it is now .”
I nodded knowingly, and looked at the golden retriever. The hound raised its head and barked at me twice happily. Between that expression, he really resembled the young man that Zhu Xuan was thinking of.
"So I brought the dog back and took good care of it. If I can find a better body for him in the future, I will definitely replace it. But for now, I think this is pretty good." Zhu Xuan said, looking at He turned to Ye and showed a happy smile.
Wen Jiubai interrupted our chat at this moment, "Stop chatting. Don't you two care about business?"
I was taken aback and looked in Wen Jiubai's direction. The latter frowned, dissatisfaction clearly written on his face. I couldn't help but feel a little funny, since I knew it now, it seems that this is the first time I've seen Wen Jiubai's tantrum-like expression.
Zhu Xuan was also startled, but quickly nodded calmly.
"Well, I was about to talk about it too. I have discussed with Gu Yu and the others before that the matter of angering the beast is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface. This evildoer was sealed well before, but it suddenly happened after thirty years. Appearing, causing chaos in the world." Zhu Xuan said, "There must be a behind-the-scenes behind this—"
"Taoist Ling Xiao." Wen Jiubai interrupted Zhu Xuan, and glanced at him.
Zhu Xuan frowned, "You think it's him?"
"Besides that Taoist priest, who else could it be?" Wen Jiubai said calmly.
"You're so sure, what happened?" Zhu Xuan responded quickly and asked immediately.
So I looked at Wen Jiubai, and Wen Jiubai looked at me again, and told Zhuxuan everything about my dreams after returning from Diecui Mountain.
"This... why is there such a thing?" Zhu Xuan was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
"I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's the truth." Wen Jiubai said in a low voice, "And, judging from Gu Yu's description, the reason why Taoist Ling Xiao was able to find me proved that he really used some kind of method to find me. He controlled Nian Beast by tricks. My death is a small matter, but if Yan Cheng is disturbed by him, it will be a big trouble."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhu Xuan snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and said, "Lie. Since when did you, Wen Jiubai, care about the loss of life? You just want to find a way to save your own life, I don't know yet ?but-"
At this point, Zhu Xuan changed the subject and sighed, "Weird things happen every year, especially this year."
Wen Jiubai shifted his gaze to Zhu Xuan, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, didn't someone say just now that what I brought was definitely not a commission but a trouble?" Zhu Xuan joked, "Why are you asking again now?"
Wen Jiubai was blocked for a moment, frowned and said, "Just say what you want, why are there so many nonsense?"
Zhu Xuan laughed, and stopped joking, and said seriously, "That's right. After Ye accidentally entered the golden retriever's body, I discovered that this dog was starved because of a leg injury and difficulty walking. He died. So I hurriedly found a nearby veterinary shop and asked the veterinarian to do a careful physical examination. At first, the door of the veterinary shop was closed, but I saw someone in the room and was really anxious, so I closed the door I knocked on it. A veterinarian in a white coat came out of it. Although he was a little reluctant, he agreed to check me up. The front door of this store is connected to the house behind. So at this time, I I noticed that in the courtyard behind the store there were white satins hanging and some white wreaths."
"It's because the family is having a funeral, so I don't want to open it." I interrupted and asked.
"Well, that's right. So I was curious, so I asked one more question. After asking, I found out that the deceased was the son of the old veterinarian." Zhu Xuan nodded.
"Then how did his son die?" Wen Jiubai asked.
"The strange thing is this." Zhu Xuan said, "When the old veterinarian saw me asking, he immediately sighed with a sad face. According to the old man, his son just turned 20 years old and went out to school. Yi went home last month and made the two elderly people very happy. But not long after, disaster struck and his son died in his bathroom."
"Did in the bathroom?" I asked curiously, "Is it because of lack of oxygen, or because of dehydration?"
Although I'm not a medical student, I've heard of cases of people taking a bath in a closed bathroom where the steam is too thick and people can suffocate.
But Zhu Xuan shook his head, "No, neither. That's why I said it was a strange thing. Guess how his son died? The answer is, he died of freezing."
"What?" I was taken aback, and Wen Jiubai also showed an expression of interest.
"Really? How is this possible?"
"That's right." Zhu Xuan said leisurely, "The old veterinarian's expression didn't look like he was lying, but he told me the truth. He told me that after his son went into the bathroom that night, he didn't come out for several hours. The old couple were really surprised, so they kicked open the door and rushed in. Unexpectedly, the bathroom was as cold as an ice cellar, and their son fell naked on the ground, his skin was stiff and purple, and he had been frozen to death."
"Interesting." Wen Jiubai curled the corners of his lips.
"But how is this possible?" I was dumbfounded, "Even in the coldest winter in Yancheng, the temperature is only five or six degrees, and it can't even get below zero. How could someone freeze to death in their own bathroom?"
"That's what you said." Zhu Xuan sighed, "When the old veterinarian told me, his nose was full of tears. But the bad luck didn't end here. Not long after his son died, the veterinarian's home Then the haunting started."
"Haunted?" I was completely attracted by Zhu Xuan's narration, and immediately asked.
