Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

3642 The Murderer

The two guards looked at their Master, who gave them a slight nod. They then led the two people toward the weedy area behind the house. Upon arriving, one of them said, “This is the spot where he relieved himself last night and then probably fell into the ravine below by accident.”

Gu Mo took a step forward, crossing the weeds to the edge of the ravine. He took a careful look and saw traces of flattened and depressed weeds, enough to prove that someone had indeed been here last night.

Looking farther into the ravine, there was a dried blood stain amidst the jumble of stones and sand, and inside that stain, something sharp was exposed.

“Go dig up that thing below. Be careful not to break it,” Wei Feng told the two guards beside him.

As soon as they heard the command, the guards jumped down and began to carefully dig through the dirt and rocks. It didn’t take long for them to feel tingling in their scalps and they involuntarily stepped back, letting out a low cry.

“Aah!”

“What’s the matter?” The middle-aged man asked with a frown.

“Corpse…skeleton…” The two men said, their voices trembling slightly. Although they had killed before, digging up human remains was a first for them and it made them feel scared.

“What do you think it is if not a skeleton?”

Wei Feng looked at them with a half-smile, then turned to the middle-aged man and said “My Master mentioned that your daughter has a Yin energy in her body, likely because her essence, vital energy, and blood have been absorbed by a Yin spirit. If nothing goes wrong, this skeleton should belong to that Yin spirit.”

The middle-aged man turned pale and asked, “If that’s the case, what can we do with this skeleton?” The Yin spirit had most likely already fled.

“It’s useless for you to dig it up, but it’s different for us,” Wei Feng chuckled. “Take the skeleton to us after you dig it up. We know how to make the Yin spirit appear on its own.”

The middle-aged man immediately ordered the two guards, “Hurry up and dig! Dig out the entire skeleton!”

Meanwhile, Feng Jiu was sitting in the house, eating spirit fruits and reading a book. Bai Qingcheng and Qin Xin were preparing lunch, while Luo Yu said he was going to look for some game in the nearby forest to add to the meal.

Not long after, Wei Feng and Gu Mo returned to the house and bowed to Feng Jiu, “Master, as you have said, it is the work of a yin spirit. The skeleton has been found.”

“You handle it, no need to tell me,” Feng Jiu replied, her eyes still focused on her book. “Come back for lunch at noon; Luo Yu is adding more dishes.”

After hearing this, the two men looked at each other, smiled, and replied, “Yes.”

Because of the delay caused by this incident, Feng Jiu and her party decided to stay another night. After all, it’s easier to deal with humans than Yin spirits, which would mean waiting until nightfall.

Feng Jiu didn’t intervene, leaving the matter to her subordinates. With their current skills, it was easy for them to handle such a small problem.

When nighttime came, all the villagers followed the instructions and went inside their homes. With the exception of Madam Xue, the entire Xue family had gathered in the open area.
