Chapter 87 Haunted Court

The next morning, Deming was awakened by the rumbling of wheels on the road. He blinked and saw many people walking. He stuck his head out to see if anyone was his party, only to find that the larger group were merchants.

He knew that he didn't know the way back, and when he left Peach Town, he didn't know where to go. Wherever Guozhao Zhiqiang took him, he followed Guozhao Zhiqiang without asking anything. He lay down on the ground with his head down.

A man asked, "Where are you going?"

An older man said, "We are going to Cloud City."

Another man said, "We are going to Capital City."

The older man smiled and said, "It seems that our direction is the same."

When Deming heard the word 'Cloud City', he hurriedly followed behind the old man. He knew that no matter how far Guozhao Zhiqiang went, he would always return to Cloud City.

The younger man looked at the roadside and quickly stepped back, "A little fox." He waved his hands at Deming. "Shoot...fox shoot..."

The older man looked at Deming and said, "How beautiful?"

The little girl walked over and said, "Grandfather, I want that white puppy."

Through the gleaming, diamond-like tips of the fur, the older man knew that the fox standing behind them was no ordinary fox. He grabbed the little girl and said, "Not this one."

The little girl asked, "Why not, grandfather?"

The older man said, "This little fox already has a master."

A servant said, "Little master, that's not a puppy, that's a fox. Do you know what foxes like to eat?"

The little girl asked, "What do foxes like to eat?"

The servant said, "Foxes like to eat meat. In their eyes, we are all meat."

The little girl looked at Deming and said, "But the puppy is so cute."

The older man, "If you take him away, his mother will be sad. Just like if someone takes you away, I will be sad too."

The little girl smiled and said, "Grandfather is right." She took the old man's hand and turned to leave.

Following a group of merchants to Capital City and Cloud City, Deming limped slowly behind them.

Early in the morning, Tam Liang and Tam Kun bid farewell to the rest of the hunters. They slowly pulled the carriage out of the inn.

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at his five brothers and Gen, sighed and said, "I'm going to Peach Blossom Valley, when you arrive at Lotus Gate summon me."

Lee Nianzu smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'll call you when we arrive at Lotus Gate."

When the six hunters approached Lotus Gate Town, the main road was by a small river with water lilies and lotus flowers. There were several people walking on the main road, most of them were merchants and wandering hunters.

Gen frowned depressingly, "I wonder what happened to the boss in Cloud City?"

Zheng Tingfeng said, "Don't worry, as soon as Brother Deming's soul returns safely, he will come back."

Gen asked, "How do you know that Deming's soul will travel safely to Cloud City without any problems?"

Zheng Tingfeng said, "Only those who know how to lift the spell can hurt Brother Deming's soul. And it takes a lot of spiritual power to lift the spell, so in general, if the soul is locked by our spell, most hunters will ignore it."

Zheng Yaozu said, "Moreover, no hunter dares to touch it."

Lee Nianzu smiled and said, "Gen, I know you are worried about senior brother, but don't think too much. We have to think positively. Brother Deming and senior brother have experienced a lot, and this little thing will not be an obstacle for them."

Yu Lei said, "Yes, he is right, let's concentrate on the task first."

Zheng Yaozu wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained, "I'm so hot, is this normal to be this hot during the summer months."

Yu Lei complained, "We should ride horses instead of walking."

Zheng Tingfeng, "And let Ah Kun and Ah Liang walk back to Cloud City with Chuntao and student Dong's body on their backs? Are you crazy?"

Yu Lei, "You know that's not what I meant."

Tian Xiang, "Summer is hotter than this."

Lee Nianzu, "We will have to adapt to the weather. Northerners tend to sweat more."

Zheng Yaozu, "General speaking... I'm already sweating."

Yu Lei, "I'm hungry."

Shan suddenly appeared in front of the six hunters. Shan said, "Nianzu, summon Zhiqiang." He disappeared quickly.

Lee Nianzu took out a talisman paper and threw it on the ground. White mist appeared, and Guozhao Zhiqiang came out of the mist.

Gen asked, "Boss, did Deming's soul arrive in Cloud City safely?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang shook his head.

Zheng Tingfeng, "How is it possible?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang was very worried about Deming's soul, but he knew that with Yang Chuntao's spell, Deming's soul would be safe. It was only a matter of time before Deming's soul reappeared. Guozhao Zhiqiang knew that as a hunter, no matter how big his personal problems were, sometimes he had to put his feelings aside and look at the bigger picture. He looked at the juniors and said, "It's only a matter of time before Deming's soul appears, so we should focus on the tasks given to us. Let's find a place to eat."

Zheng Yaozu said with a smile, "I really want to try Southern food."

Yu Lei pointed ahead, "Look, Lotus Gate Town."

Tian Xiang asked, "Senior brother, did Yongrui's letter mention who we will meet?" He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "He said the person will be waiting for us at Golden Lotus Inn."

Yu Lei grabbed Tian Xiang's left arm and pleaded, "Big brother, carry me, my legs can't move anymore."

Tian Xiang refused, "I will if you are seriously injured, but you seem to be in good shape and can walk by yourself." He pushed Yu Lei away.

Yu Lei put his arms around Tian Xiang's neck and joked, "Hey, big brother, we are so close, are you afraid we will become like senior brother and brother Deming?"

Tian Xiang pushed Yu Lei away, "Are you crazy? Impossible."

Yu Lei, "Why not?"

Tian Xiang, "We are both men."

Yu Lei, "They are also..."

Tian Xiang, "Why did you suddenly become interested in the relationship between man and man?"

Yu Lei shuddered, "I would rather live with you after I witnessed those four women fighting for senior brother's affection."

Zheng Tingfeng shouted, "You two love birds, hurry up."

Yu Lei smiled at Tian Xiang, "So, what do you say?"

Tian Xiang approached Yu Lei and said, "In... your...dream..." He walked quickly towards the other brothers.

Yu Lei, "Hey, what is this answer?" He chased the six hunters in the direction of Golden Lotus Inn.

The Golden Lotus Inn is very large, and there are endless people coming in and out of the Golden Lotus Inn. As soon as the seven hunters stood in front of the Inn, the greeter immediately walked up to them.

The greeter, "Excuse me, are you Guozhao Hunters?"

Lee Nianzu said politely, "Yes."

The greeter, "Come in. There is a private suite waiting for you."

The door greeter brought the seven hunters to their private suites, and five waiters brought them food and wine and put them on the table.

Lee Nianzu said politely, "Sir, please replace the wine with tea."

The greeter, "No problem, honorable guests. I'll ask the waiter to bring tea and water. Please enjoy your meal."

After the five waiters served the tea, the seven hunters started to eat. After waiting for an hour, a man in his forties arrived with two guards. The man walked in, and the two guards closed the door.

The man greeted the seven hunters, "Hello Guozhao Hunters, I'm Judge Hang Long. Master Fu must have mentioned me in the letter."

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "He said to meet the client here."

Hang Long, "That's me. I'm your client."

Lee Nianzu said, "Judge Hang, is there anything we can help you with?"

Hang Long sighed and said, "My court is haunted, and I need help. The spirits wandering there are too strong. I tried many methods to exorcise the spirits, but all were unsuccessful. Two weeks ago, I met the young master Fu. And I have expressed my concerns to him. He suggested you could help me. I probably don't have much money. He put two large silver ingots on the table. "I hope that's enough. "

Tian Xiang, "Do we know who haunted your courtroom?"

Hang Long said, "To be honest, I don't know it myself. This incident happened many years ago, according to local people. After the first encounter with the spirits, I asked around, and many local people told me that I was the only judge who stayed the longest."

Yu Lei asked, "How long?"

Hang Long, "Three weeks."

Zheng Yaozu said, "Three weeks is not long."

Hang Long, "The previous judges did not stay for more than five days."

Lee Zheng Tingfeng asked, "Did the local people tell you who is the one who is making trouble inside your court?"

Hang Long nodded and explained, "People say that the former judge was still wandering in the courtroom, and he was killed on his first day in office. The drums could be heard every night. Then there were screams. "

Zheng Yaozu, "What's his name?"

Hang Long, "Everyone calls him Judge Chen."

Zheng Tingfeng, "It turns out that this place is actually haunted."

Tian Xiang, "When is the time when most people hear the drumming?"

Hang Lung, "One hour after sunset."

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "Where is this street?"

Hang Lung, "Justice Street."

Lee Nianzu, "Judge Hang, we will tell you after we visit the court tonight."

Hang Long, "Thank you, hunters." He stood up and cupped his hands and bowed at the seven hunters.
