Chapter 301 The lingering ghost
The person who was shouting that something was wrong was a middle-aged man in the early stage of foundation building. Tian Lin recognized him as the younger brother of the Shang clan leader.
At this time, when Tian Lin opened the door and went out, he saw Mei Xiangu and Ju Yunhai leaving the house before him.
The three of them all walked towards the middle-aged man. Mei Xiangu said in a bad tone: "Who is missing this time?"
The middle-aged man had an ugly face. He heard him say: "The entire merchant family has disappeared."
This sentence stunned everyone present. Mei Xiangu asked him first: "Where is the head of your family? Where are the elders of your family? And where are the five fools from the corpse family?"
The middle-aged man said: "Only my eldest brother, the eldest elder, and a few fellow Taoists from the Corpse Family are here. Those who were below the level of foundation building disappeared overnight."
Tian Lin heard the same sentence and Yun Hai looked at each other. Tian Lin asked him: "Where is the Shang clan leader now?"
"My elder brother asked me to invite three fellow Taoists to discuss matters together in the lobby."
Tian Lin and others knew where the merchant's lobby was, so they followed the middle-aged man to the lobby.
At this time, businesses were hung up everywhere, and the lobby was decorated as a mourning hall.
I saw a red coffin parked at the mourning hall, with five brothers from the corpse family sitting on the left and right of the red coffin.
In addition, next to the corpse boss sat the Shang clan leader and the elder Shang.
When Tian Lin and others appeared, only Clan Chief Shang and Elder Shang stood up quickly.
Elder Shang's face turned pale and he said with a depressed expression: "Thousands of members of my clan were plotted by evil spirits overnight."
The corpse boss over there was sitting on a chair and said harshly: "It's not like this evil spirit has no wisdom at all. He also knows how to pick out weak persimmons."
After the corpse boss finished speaking, the corpse boss sneered: "Whether it is an evil spirit or an evil person, I can't say for sure."
Elder Shang, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He looked at the second and eldest brother of the corpse family:
"If you two have something to say, you can just say it directly, why bother beating around the bush? Don't you just suspect that the evil spirit is pretending to be the young patriarch of my business?"
"Are you finally willing to admit it?"
The corpse boss stood up and said: "Your young merchant clan leader was seriously injured, so he had the evil idea of devouring people's souls to strengthen his own body. In fact, this is nothing, after all, this world is no longer so repulsive to soul cultivation.
What's more, your young patriarch is eating from his own family and has nothing to do with us, so why be so sneaky? ”
Elder Shang's face darkened, and he asked Brother Zhi: "When did I admit that it was my young patriarch who pretended to be the evil spirit? You said it was my young patriarch who was responsible, but what evidence do you have?"
The second corpse over there chuckled and took out a piece of paper from the storage bag: "It's just a shame. When your young patriarch was 'ghost-possessed' by your ancestor, I left the footprints of your young patriarch. .
But last night, my brothers were determined to find out who was causing the evil, so they placed powdered ashes at the door. Now, the evil footprints have finally been left behind - look, aren't these footprints the footprints of your young master? ”
One of the two pieces of paper left a pair of bloody footprints, and the other left a pair of black footprints.
But although the colors are different, the footprints are exactly the same.
The expressions of Elder Shang and Patriarch Shang changed. The corpse boss said happily: "What, can you still deny it now?"
Patriarch Shang said quickly: "I don't know about this, and my son has never told me."
On the other hand, Mei Xiangu gave Patriarch Shang a strange look and asked him: "Could your son be a monk from our Goddess Sect?" Patriarch Shang did not understand Mei Xiangu's words, but Tian Lin Tongyu Yunhai understood Mei Xiangu's words.
The Goddess Sect never recruits male disciples, and the female disciples of the Goddess Sect are almost all barefoot.
Especially barefoot, it has almost become a standard feature of the Goddess Sect. Because few other monks, male or female, walk barefoot.
The red footprints left by the brothers of the Shi family were made by taking off Young Master Shang's shoes.
But that was not the case with the black footprints. They were clearly stepped by Mr. Shang himself.
In addition to the disciples of the Goddess Sect, there may also be monks who like to walk barefoot, but this definitely does not include the businessman Shang Gongzi.
Because after Mr. Shang disappeared, Mei Xiangu and Ju Yunhai kept asking about Mr. Shang, and they had never heard of him having such a habit.
"What Miss Mei means is that Mr. Shang is fake?"
"The flesh cannot lie."
As soon as Tian Lin asked, Ju Yunhai spoke first: "Even if you disguise yourself, you can't completely disguise the footprints. So it can be predicted that the person who left these black footprints last night was indeed Mr. Shang."
"In other words, Mr. Shang may have turned into an evil spirit, or perhaps Mr. Shang has not turned into an evil spirit, but he is pretending to be an evil spirit and doing bad things."

When Fairy Mei said this, she looked at Patriarch Shang and said, "Did your precious son lose his mind after being possessed by a ghost? What on earth does he want to do?"
Patriarch Shang was speechless for a moment.
Just when the Shang clan leader was speechless, Tian Lin suddenly said: "Master Shang may be dead, and the evil spirits caused by the merchants now are probably the ancestors of the merchants."
The boss of the corpse over there immediately denied it and said: "Impossible. The ancestor of the corpse family is still in my jar. How can it break open my jar and cause trouble outside? Tian, when you say this, are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
< br>
Tian Lin shook his head and said: "It should be said that what you have in your jar is only a little bit of the remnant soul of the merchant ancestor. Most of the rest is probably still in the body of the merchant master."
When Tian Lin said this, he asked Yunhai and Elder Shang: "You two entered the sea of knowledge with me. You should still remember the situation when the ancestor Shang and Mr. Shang merged."
Ju Yunhai nodded and said: "At that time, half of the combined soul was the ancestor of the merchant, and the other half was the young master of the merchant."
"Although we forcibly separated the two souls, the two have been integrated for too long. Can they really be completely separated? Besides, both of them are half-remaining souls, but part of them has turned into mist. Is there really nothing hidden in the sea of consciousness? Lost their remaining souls?”
After Tian Lin finished speaking, he said: "I suspect that Mr. Shang at this time has also become evil and has become a part of the ancestors of Shang."
The corpse boss over there rarely agreed with Tian Lin’s conclusion. He said:
"In this way, things can be easily explained. The ancestor of the merchant took over the body of Mr. Shang, so he left his footprints. And he stole people every day just to eat the souls of these people to repair himself."< br>
"He is the evil spirit who is in the late stage of foundation building and wants the golden elixir. Now that he has eaten so many people, how terrifying is his strength?"
Tian Lin asked the head of the Shang family: "Chief Shang, can the funeral of your ancestor be held now?"
Because of the funeral for his ancestor, the head of the Shang clan had lost all his wife and children. At this time, he hated his ancestor unspeakably, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"Why should I have a funeral? I just want to spend all my family wealth and refine this old man into a soul lamp. If I had known that he would bring trouble to my descendants, I should have sold him to the Xiangxi Sect directly, and I could still earn some spiritual stones."
"What's the use of talking about this? What you should consider now is how to deal with your ancestor. According to my guess, it has set its sights on us. If we don't get rid of it, I'm afraid it will linger."
