Chapter 629 Who Is ‘He’ [5000 Monthly Vote Requested]

Ancient city lane, blue brick houses.

Seven ghost servants were kneeling on the ground, lying motionless, as if waiting for orders.

Lin Mo's mind was spinning at this moment. He knew that what would happen next, good or bad, might all depend on his choice.

This time when he came to the abandoned mine in the eastern suburbs, Lin Mo thought that he had made a lot of preparations, but no one would have thought that there was a ghost town hidden under the abandoned mine in the eastern suburbs.

Moreover, this ghost town actually has soldiers and ghosts guarding the gate and ghosts responsible for 'security'.

The level of weirdness here far exceeds what he has experienced in the past, so if something goes wrong, the consequences will definitely be very serious.

But for a while, Lin Mo didn't know what to do.

Gotta stabilize first.

"Wait!"

Lin Mo said something to the seven ghosts kneeling outside, took a step back and entered the door.

Then Liu Sheng, who was also kneeling on the ground and joining in the fun, was dragged back.

"Why are you kneeling to me?"

"I don't know, I'm just impressed by your power, sir, and I can't help myself..."

"Don't do this, let me ask you, have you seen me before?" Lin Mo asked.

He was afraid that the room would be dark and the other party would not be able to see clearly, so he brought the little red lantern closer to illuminate his face more clearly.

In this dim room, under the bloody light was Lin Mo's face.

The scene was a bit scary.

Liu Sheng looked at it tremblingly and shook his head.

"I haven't seen it before."

"I've never seen it before? Doesn't it look familiar?"

"I've never seen this before!"

Lin Mo knew that Liu Sheng, who had turned into a ghost, could not lie. If the other party said he had never seen him before, then he must have never seen him before.

But this doesn't explain anything.

Liu Sheng was just an ordinary housekeeper in the city, and it was impossible for him to have seen all the ghosts in the city.

After thinking about it, Lin Mo changed his mind.

"Let me ask you, do you know why those ghosts kneel down to me?"

With this question, Lin Mo could only think that the other party admitted the wrong person, but who the wrong person was needs to be analyzed by Liu Sheng, a "local ghost".

Liu Sheng hurriedly said that those ghost officers had a high status in the ghost town. After all, they were government officers and must be stronger than the common people like them.

And those who can make them kneel must also be ghost officials in the government.

"So, they probably regard you as a certain ghost official!"

Ghost official!

Lin Mo thinks it makes sense.

Obviously this is not a simple admission of mistake. Combined with what happened five years ago, Dad said that he once went down to the mine in the real world and heard a voice from the copper door.

Then I received another call with the same voice on the phone.

It was because of the other party's guidance that Dad took the dead himself and Liu Jia to the abandoned mine in the eastern suburbs.

Lin Mo already knows how he and Liu Jia died five years ago.

That was when Liu Jia took her to the Daxian Temple to have her fortune told, but she was targeted by the Twin Immortals, who cursed her and swallowed her soul.

In the past two hundred years, the Twin Immortals have done this kind of wicked and despicable things, and these two ghosts have made it clear to themselves. However, the Twin Immortals had not caused any trouble before, and those whose souls were swallowed were ordinary people. Even if they died, they would be considered to have died unexpectedly.

No one would have thought that this was the work of evil spirits.

Until the Twin Fairies met themselves and Liu Jia five years ago.

After he died, a certain being borrowed his body to go to the Daxian Temple, saying it was for negotiation, but in fact he forced the Twin Immortals to spit out the souls they had swallowed.

Lin Mo didn't know the specific process, but the person who helped him did help. Maybe after doing this, he called his father.

The father took the body to the abandoned mine in the eastern suburbs. After one night, he walked out of the abandoned mine, but he could not remember what happened before.

In all likelihood, it was that 'him' who had tampered with him.

As for Liu Jia, she didn't come out.

Maybe she is really dead.

Lin Mo understood his father's thoughts.

His biological son, his precious son, was just that. As long as he was sure that his son was alive, he could not pursue any other matters.

It's just a matter of turning a blind eye.

Lin Mo even now doubted whether that 'him' had reached any agreement with his father, so his father repeatedly stopped him from exploring the abandoned mines in the eastern suburbs.

Not to mention, it is very possible.

At present, the ghosts in the ghost town have mistaken themselves for the 'him', which means that the other person looks like him, otherwise it would be impossible to admit the mistake.

Lin Mo faced a choice.

It's a matter of seeking truth from facts, denying it, saying that you admitted your mistake.

Or just make the mistake, pretend to be that 'him', and explore the secrets you want to know.

Relatively speaking, the first method of seeking truth from facts is safer.

But when he thought about the second person making the wrong mistake and pretending to be someone else, Lin Mo immediately felt excited. This should be a very interesting thing.

Don't think about things for too long.

If it takes too long, it will easily arouse the suspicion of those ghosts.

The main problem is that Lin Mo doesn't know who that 'him' is, nor does he know what kind of existence or identity the other person has in this ghost town.

Impersonating the other party will definitely cause big trouble once it is discovered that he is a fake.

But once this thought arises, it is difficult to suppress it.

Lin Mo was eager to know the answer now.

He looked at the uncle who was still unconscious on the ground.

Lin Moxin said that even if he had to take risks, he could not harm his uncle.

And once the incident comes to light, it will be easy to run away alone. Taking the uncle with you will be a burden.

So we have to send the uncle out first.

Then I thought about it, it was easy. If I decided to pretend to be that 'him', I just had to give the order and ask the ghosts outside the door to send the uncle out.

Yes, just do it.

In this way, we can not only send the uncle out, but also send these few ghosts away.

In this way, Lin Mo also had more time to investigate.

There is a more important reason.

Five years ago, that 'him' pretended to be himself, so five years later, why couldn't I pretend to be 'him'?

Risk for risk, very reasonable.

After making up his mind, Lin Mo asked Liu Sheng what the "official" in this ghost town looked like and how he spoke. This was also to pretend to be more realistic and not to expose any flaws.

Liu Sheng told him what he knew.

Lin Mo simply understood it, opened the door with a straight face, and stepped out.

As expected, the ghost officer outside was still kneeling.

It seems that it has never moved, even the fingers are in their original position.

Lin Mo pointed to the old man on the ground and said with a straight face: "You two, send him outside together."

After thinking for a while, he added another sentence.

"Outside the well!"

The seven ghosts stood up and stepped forward without saying a word. They carried the old man and walked out. They were very fast and disappeared after a while.

very good.

These ghosts didn't notice the problem.

Lin Mo is very proud now, although now he is taking risks and walking a tightrope. Once he is found to be a fake, the consequences will be very serious.

But I can't help but feel so good now.

Don’t think about the aftermath, let’s finish it first and then talk about it.

The mourners outside originally didn't dare to say anything at this time. They didn't even dare to look at Lin Mo. They lowered their heads and remained motionless.

Looks timid.

It’s better to be timid.

Lin Mo took back Xiaoyu and Xiaohu, leaving only Liu Sheng to accompany them.

He was going to wander around this ghost town.

Liu Sheng is the most suitable guide.

At this moment, Liu Sheng was more respectful to Lin Mo than before. He walked half a step behind Lin Mo, keeping his body hunched over, expressing his absolute surrender.

This loyalty is mandatory.

This is due to the characteristics of the ghost.

"During the Great Republic of China, my master, uh, the previous master, the one who became a bad man, was the richest man in Fencheng. He was very rich."

Liu Sheng talked about the past.

Lin Mo didn't know where Fencheng was. It was probably the name of the place hundreds of years ago, but it had long been called something else.

"He is rich and powerful. I am also a scholar myself. But because my family was in trouble and I was sued, I became a housekeeper as a last resort. Logically speaking, we scholars would rather be poor than be slaves."

Liu Sheng recalled the past with emotion, and Lin Mo told him to stop talking about these useless things and focus on the important points.

Does it matter whether you are a scholar or not?

Besides, it happened hundreds of years ago. I don’t even know that hundreds of copies of the old almanac have been replaced, so I still don’t mention it.

"Later, the former gentleman met Mr. Chunfeng. This gentleman was a great stranger. It is said that even the emperor at that time was polite to him and honored him as the master of the country!"

Lin Mo didn't know about this.

However, there were indeed many capable people and strangers in ancient times, so this is not unusual.

In Lin Mo's opinion, that 'Mr. Chunfeng' was most likely a master of the Hidden Sect, and he had conducted in-depth research on nightmares hundreds of years ago.

"They have known each other for seventeen years. The total amount of gold and silver that the old man gave to Mr. Chunfeng was no less than ten thousand taels. Later, the old man became seriously ill. Mr. Chunfeng came to visit. They talked all night. The next day, the old man passed away. . But Mr. Chunfeng said that his yang life was over but his yin life was still full. He chose me and some servants to travel for a month to this secret cave in the mountains. He also said that he had a city there and that he could live in the city from now on."

Liu Sheng spoke very well, and Lin Mo listened very carefully.

This story is amazing.

The most exaggerated thing is that such a magical, almost legendary story is actually true.

"When we arrived at the place, Mr. Chunfeng said he could prolong our lives and gave us a pill. After taking it, we ended up in this ghost town inexplicably."

When it comes to the past, Liu Sheng is sometimes confused. Maybe he didn't understand anything at that time, so he just came here with him.

The result was that he was tricked.

That elixir is most likely a pollutant and can poison people to death.

In this way, Liu Sheng and the servants entered the ghost town, became residents here, and continued to serve the master, and this service lasted for hundreds of years.

"Is this place like this from the beginning?"

Lin Mo looked at the gloomy streets and houses on both sides. The roads were filled with dim fog. The name of the ghost town was very appropriate.

"In the beginning, there were still a lot of people. Some came here on their own initiative to give away their wealth, while others were captured passively. Mr. Chunfeng said that compared with the outside world, this place is more like a peach blossom garden."

Lin Mo smiled, this statement was quite appropriate.

"In addition to rich people and poor people, there are also dignitaries here. It is said that the emperor of the current dynasty was also brought in by Mr. Chunfeng, but later he seemed to have a disagreement with Mr. Chunfeng. There was no news about it a hundred years ago. I don’t know if he was killed by Mr. Chunfeng.”

Liu Sheng knew everything he knew.

Anyway, as long as he knows, he will tell it without reservation.

Although these experiences were only those experienced by Liu Sheng himself, or what he knew from the mouths of other ghosts, they were fragmented, incoherent, and one-sided.

But these news slowly weaved into a story in Lin Mo's heart.

It gave him a preliminary understanding of this ghost town hidden underground.

At least it's better than when he first came and didn't know anything.

"It's just that beauty is only temporary. Mr. Chunfeng said that Yin people also have a lifespan. If a Yin person dies, he will turn into a worm. The worm is a very dangerous thing. Once he becomes a worm, it will be difficult to change back. It’s huge. If you want to avoid becoming a worm, you have to devour other Yin people or living people when the Yin person’s lifespan is about to expire. Only in this way can the Yin life be extended.”

After Liu Sheng finished speaking, Lin Mo asked him, are you fine now and have you ever swallowed other ghosts.

The 'yin people' Liu Sheng called before were actually ghosts.

Different eras have different names, and even among scholars and ordinary people, the names are different.

But it's all the same thing.

"Yes, I have swallowed the souls of four Yin people, and I have survived until now." Liu Sheng did not hide anything and told the truth.

Lin Mo asked, if you are a good servant, why did your former master become a drunkard?

"Originally it wouldn't be possible, but in the past hundred years, there have been fewer and fewer ghost people in the city. Even if the ghost mission goes out to arrest people, it will be of little use. Especially since Mr. Chunfeng disappeared a hundred years ago, and the various forces in the ghost town are facing each other, it is already a mess. . Didn’t you see the houses along the road? Some of them have been locked with black iron chains and attached with charms? That means there is a bug in this house and cannot be opened, otherwise it will definitely cause trouble. "

“In the beginning, there were just a few.”

"But now, the entire ghost town, more than 80% of the houses, are full of ghosts. Now, this is called a real ghost town."

"The old man in my family has a special constitution. Something went wrong before and he has become deaf. But he has a method taught by Mr. Chunfeng. He only needs to build a coffin, ask people to play and sing, and then catch a new ghost who died within ten years. Dissolve.”

"It's a pity that in the end, it's the fate of man that's not as good as God's!"

Lin Mo knew the rest even if Liu Sheng didn't talk about it.

The captured new ghost is not his uncle.

It was also because he came to disturb the situation, but Lin Mo didn't feel embarrassed at all about this matter.

No matter who it is, it is wrong to swallow your own uncle.

At this time, Lin Mo asked again what forces were in this ghost city, and what the sixteen ghost soldiers guarding the city gate were and why they were so powerful.

"Actually, this ghost town is not big, and it doesn't have much power. It's just the descendants of the royal family and the ghost town officials. When Mr. Chunfeng was here in the past, he was naturally respected. No matter who he was, he had to listen to Mr. Chunfeng. Order. Later, when Mr. Chunfeng left and did not return, the descendants of the royal family and the officials of the ghost town started to oppose each other, and they fought several times, causing a lot of trouble."

"As for the sixteen soldier ghosts at the door, they were refined by Mr. Chunfeng himself. They did not listen to the orders of others. They were just to protect the ghost city and maintain order. As long as they did not cause trouble at the gate, those soldier ghosts would not care. But if Anyone who seeks death and causes trouble under the noses of soldiers and ghosts will be killed with one sword, no matter who they are."

Lin Mo understood.

That Mr. Chunfeng left enough power to intimidate all parties to maintain the basic order of the ghost town, so there is a limit to the chaos in the ghost town.

What's more, who can guarantee that Mr. Chunfeng only left sixteen soldier ghosts?

Maybe there is something else.

In short, although Lin Mo had never met Mr. Chunfeng, he could tell from Liu Sheng's words that he was a top-notch person.

In the gloomy ghost town, there are not even ghosts to be seen in the small streets and alleys at the moment. There are only '軻's sealed in the houses on both sides by spells.

These monsters, even ghosts are afraid of, look out from the cracks in doors and windows, their eyes glowing with evil.

But no matter how fierce he is, he can't break out of the house with the talisman on it.

"In front is the government office."

At this time, Liu Sheng pointed at a gloomy government office in front and said something.

Lin Mo also looked over. About thirty meters away, the outline of the government office could be seen clearly, but due to the darkness, the details were not clear.

There are two stone lions standing in front of the door.

Looking carefully, I found that they were not stone lions, but two very strange monsters. One had a dragon head, and the other had a tiger head. They had a body like a dog, long scales, and claws like hooks. They should look like eagle claws. Covered with layers of skulls.

Never seen this thing before.

Asked Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng didn't know.

Lin Mo had no intention of going there.

Because he had previously speculated that 'him' should be someone from the government of the ghost town. If he went there by himself, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap?

Let’s go shopping somewhere else first.

As a result, at this moment, Lin Mo suddenly saw a figure hurriedly walking to the door of the government office from the other side.

Taking a closer look, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.

It's Xiang Xin!

Of course, it's not the real Xiang Xin, but Xiang Xin imitated by the Corpse Immortal.

Previously, a camera captured the corpse fairy coming from the eastern suburbs. Lin Mo estimated that his destination was underneath the abandoned mine. Looking at it now, it turned out to be true.

This guy really came down there.

Lin Mo came to the abandoned mine in the eastern suburbs because he wanted to catch this corpse fairy.

Revenge for an old classmate’s family of three.

This matter is not negotiable.

The corpse immortal must die.

At this time, several thoughts flashed through Lin Mo's mind.

Why is the Corpse Immortal here?

Why, it’s the government office.

By the way, Corpse Immortal saw him in the Sanxian Hall he opened on Laomiao Road. After that, the other party escaped, and then fled all the way to the eastern suburbs.

If the Corpse Immortal also came out of the ghost town, or even had something to do with the government office, then it should have seen 'him'.

So when it was in Sanxian Hall, after it saw me, it planned to run away.

A thought came to mind.

The corpse immortal must be caught immediately.

This kid is most likely here to inform.

Lin Mo immediately called Xiaoyu out.

At this time, only light rain can help.

There were two ghost servants standing at the door of the government office. The Corpse Immortal was talking to the two ghost servants at the moment, but the next moment he was entangled from behind by a black iron chain and dragged backwards.

The Corpse Immortal itself is not weak, but when faced directly against Xiao Yu, it is obviously still inferior.

This monster, whose body is a dummy, has survived for three hundred years by constantly imitating and occupying the bodies of living people. It is cunning, but in terms of its strength, it is only average now.

The two ghosts at the door wanted to rush over, but Lin Mo was already walking over with a sullen face, his hands behind his back.

When Gui Cha saw Lin Mo, he immediately froze and knelt down motionless.

Lin Mo smiled.

This is the effect he wants.

The tied corpse immortal became anxious when he saw this scene, and roared: "He is not..."

Before he could shout out the last sentence, Lin Mo came up and covered his mouth.

"Shh!"

Lin Mo, who was smiling, made a silent gesture towards the corpse immortal.

That smile, so happy.
