Chapter 2 Harvesting the Soul

Su Yang was sitting on the boat, and his adopted son was next to Su Yang, and there was a bamboo tube on the boat. The ones contained in the bamboo tube were tens of thousands of coffins.

There is a story in the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio called "Little Coffin". This story tells a boatman in Tianjin who received the inspiration from the gods in his dream. The person who was waiting here to cross the river to transport the bamboo tubes was asked for a thousand taels of silver. However, in that story, the three words written by the boatman were a factory, two shells below, three shells below, one shell, and four shells below.

This story is related to Wu Sangui. After this man from Tianjin received these small coffins, the Three Feudal Rebellion broke out shortly afterwards. After the Three Feudals were pacified, Kangxi killed the surrendered people. At that time, the number of corpses matched the number of small coffins here.

As for these two beans, three beans and four beans, it should refer to Belebezi. In order to quell the Three Feudal Rebellion, the Qing court at that time sent Dorobele Shangshan, Dorobelechanni, Dorobele Dong'e, and Belezi Zhangtai.

If in the original work, these small coffins appeared to serve the funeral of the Three Feudalists, then who is the funeral of the "Crown Prince" now?

Just now, that person's ability that disappeared suddenly even Su Yang's eyes were shaken.

Su Yang looked around and called the hexagram as he wanted. He reached out and pinched the hexagram of "Shui Leitun".

Nothing in a mess, disturbing everything.

The boatman got one thousand taels of silver, and was full of joy at this time, and he became more and more energetic when rowing. The adopted son was right beside him and saw Su Yang pondering. He stood aside without saying a word. Only the boatman's rowing sound was endless.

After a while, the boat was on the shore and the boatman helped the adopted son take off all the bamboo tubes on the boat.

"Celebrity, it's already dusk now, and there's only one inn in the town ahead. You should rush over earlier and take at least one place. It's not peaceful on our mountain..."

The boatman said to Su Yang and his adopted son.

There are not so many single rooms in the inn on the road. At this time, the inn is just a large shop. It is common for more than a dozen or twenty people to sleep in a room. Even so, there are still many people who have to sleep on the ground. It’s just snowing and it’s cold in the middle of the night. It’s naturally the best to be able to sleep on the bed.

"I see."

Su Yang nodded to the boatman.

After crossing a river, it was obviously much more lively here. The adopted son called a ox cart nearby, pulled all the bamboo tubes, and went to the inn in front with Su Yang.

The last time I stayed in the inn with Xiao’s adopted son was when Xiao Anzi died...

Su Yang unexpectedly thought of this. That night, Su Yang encountered a ghost in the inn for the first time.

The town in front is called Yikesong. It is said that a long time ago, there was a big pine tree in the original place of this town. Passersby often cool down under the pine trees. Sometimes people agreed to meet, and they also said "Yikesong". Over time, many people gathered here, and the name of Yikesong was decided, and later it became a town.

The place where Su Yang and Xiao adopted son came was the only inn in this pine tree. It also houses food and drink, which is a good place for travelers to settle down.

"Boss, can you go to the house?"

The adopted son unloaded the ox cart and came here to ask the boss.

"But it's really a coincidence."

The boss is also a fifty-year-old and is thin. When he saw Su Yang and his adopted son, he apologized and said, "The only room in our inn has been settled by the noble son, and he has not been room now."

"Then come to a room."

Su Yang said from the side, then sat down on the table next to him and said to the boss: "Make a few dishes at will."

When the shop owner heard the words, he saw Su Yang so generous and full of joy. He hurriedly took Su Yang and Xiao adopted son to let them enter the inner room. He saw that there was a large shop inside the house. There were about a dozen people inside, and the house was covered with sweat and feet. Su Yang and Xiao adopted son walked into it, and the adopted son immediately covered his nose.

"Customer, how about you dealing with it here?"

The boss also saw that Su Yang was very kind and asked Su Yang.

"Can."

Su Yang is in no way possible, so he can just stay here for a while. As for the accommodation conditions here, it is naturally not as good as Su Yang in Hangzhou. He has a beauty with him when he is giving the orphanage, but when he is out, Su Yang is not pretentious.

When the adopted son heard that he wanted to fall asleep here, his face was ugly, but he could tolerate it. After all, in the orphan garden, the adopted son had been dealing with the corpse for a long time.

After seeing the place where they were sleeping, Su Yang and Xiao’s adopted son asked the boss to cook some food and drinks casually, and the two walked to the main hall of the inn outside.

The night came very quickly. When crossing the river, it was only a little dark, and it was already pitch black all over the place.

A little oil lamp was lit in the inn. Su Yang and his adopted son were sitting there. It was already too late. The young master who was staying in the room also walked downstairs. Su Yang looked at the man and saw that the man was only thirty years old and was in a rich state. The fabrics he wore were all exquisitely made.

There were also several servants around the young master. At this time, the young master came from the upper floor and saw Su Yang and Xiao adopted son sitting in the main hall. The young master couldn't help but look at him, but he didn't say hello to Su Yang. The two of them just pointed at each other.

"Callant, here we come..."

The waiter in the inn brought the dishes and soybean wine to Su Yang and placed the dishes and soybean wine they brought over on the table one by one.

Su Yang looked at the table, there were pork head meat, roasted tofu, cabbage, and braised meat. Overall, it was quite rich. Su Yang signaled his adopted son. The two of them moved their chopsticks and picked up some dishes casually. Su Yang reached out, poured a bowl of soju and brought it over to drink.

After dark, the wind was howling outside. Although Su Yang and Xiao adopted son were sitting in the room, the inn was not a single piece of iron. There were many places where wind was running around, so there were also sharp cold winds attacking from time to time.

"Bang..."

The door of the inn suddenly opened, and the howling cold wind blew into the inn. Accompanied by the cold wind, a person who walked into the door was seven feet tall, covered with animal fur, and a knife hung around his waist. He walked into the inn with his head held high.

The whistling cold wind kept blowing, and the candles on the noble young master's table were extinguished. The candle in front of Su Yang was under the cold wind. Although the flames turned to Su Yang, they were always bright.

The shopkeeper and waiter met this person and hurriedly avoided him.

"You have to close the door when you come in."

The servants from the rich young master shouted to the people coming in.

"No need to close, I'll leave soon!"

The strong man with animal fur all over the body said coldly, walked straight to Su Yang, snatched the soju in Su Yang's hand, and drank it up. The bowl of wine that Su Yang had just poured was completely drunk by this person.

"Good wine!"

The strong man put down the wine bowl and shouted with great enthusiasm. He had not drunk so happily for a long time.

Su Yang did not comment and looked at the person in front of him here, without saying a word. However, when the adopted son saw this, he reached out and slapped the table, stood up in anger, and shouted: "Who are you? Come to our table to play a scoundrel!"

The strong man who walked in heard this, looked at the adopted son and looked at Su Yang again, then looked at the noble man beside him, and sat directly at Su Yang's table, reached out to grab a handful of meat in the plate, stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, and looked at the adopted son and smiled fiercely: "Do you want to know who I am?"

Su Yang looked behind the strong man, and said with a smile: "Tell me."

This strong man looked at Su Yang like this, and he felt like I had a story and you had a wine.

The strong man looked at Su Yang, looked at Su Yang calm and looked very cultivated, and simply said, "Since you want to know, then I will tell you with mercy. My name is Zhou Pingyu, and I was originally the teacher in Yikesong Town..."

During the Jiashen period, King Qi captured the capital, and the soldiers became bandits and committed evil everywhere. The family where Zhou Pingyu taught was rushed in by bandits. For a moment, blood was everywhere and he cried until dawn. Zhou Pingyu hid in the dark, watching the scene like purgatory. After all the bandits left, he staggered back to his home dozens of miles away.

"I want to send my parents and women away, but they don't want to leave. They say that there is food at home and can be hidden in the mountains. I kept calling them there, and they don't want to be sent away by me."

Zhou Pingyu told the story of the original story and said calmly: "Until the end, I finally sent them away..."

Su Yang and his adopted son looked at Zhou Pingyu.

Zhou Pingyu also looked at Su Yang and Xiao’s adopted son and said calmly: “Use a knife.”

Since then, Zhou Pingyu, the original teacher, has become a famous local evil god. Without his parents, wife and children, he has become a local evil man and kills people at any time. The ordinary people in the village are cruel to him and give in step by step. He usually lives in the mountains and occasionally appears in the market, and takes whatever he encounters. Now it is because it is cold outside that he has come to this inn.

Su Yang and his adopted son nodded again and looked at Zhou Pingyu calmly.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

Zhou Pingyu pulled out the knife from his waist and said angrily to Su Yang and his adopted son.

"I saw it."

Su Yang said calmly.

Did you see it?

Zhou Pingyu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he didn't understand.

Su Yang picked up the oil lamp on the table and went up to the license. Zhou Pingyu turned around along Su Yang's gaze and saw that his parents, wife and children were covered in blood and in a tragic state. They were all standing behind him, staring at him with wide eyes and staring straight at him.

Not only him, but even the young master sitting there saw this. Seeing this tragic situation, he let out a strange cry and quickly gave in. After Zhou Pingyu saw these ghosts, he suddenly became weak and sat on the ground. Many evil ghosts rushed forward. In a moment, Zhou Pingyu's soul emerged from then on, and turned around and entered the coffin brought by Su Yang outside.
