Chapter 22: Human Heart Like a Ghost

The Yin wind roared and echoed in the palace.

Han Wang and a guard stood not far away, feeling the Yin wind blowing on their faces, and a hint of regret couldn't help but feel in their hearts.

Since that day, he really wanted to see Su Xuan, this expert, demonstrate his abilities again.

So, upon learning that Su Xuan was preparing to use the technique of teleportation to summon ghosts and gods, even though he knew that the ghosts and gods were terrifying, he still chose to stay here.

He never expected that before the ghosts and gods appeared, a Yin wind would blow over first.

Is it still possible for him to leave now?

"Wuwuwuwu..." The Yin wind continued to blow, sobbing like a confession. Even though I knew it was the sound of the wind, when it reached my ears, it still made me subconsciously feel a sense of fear.

Su Xuan held the simple seal in his hand, and his whole body became even more ethereal. A faint mist filled his surroundings, and his face and figure gradually became blurred.

At this moment, King Han suddenly heard Su Xuan speak, "Why hijack military pay?"

"Mr. Su, who are you talking to?"

King Han looked around with a puzzled expression.

The guards guarding him also shook their heads and said, "No, no one!"

"Is it... ghosts and gods appearing?" A guard speculated.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes and continued to look ahead of Su Xuan, but he didn't see any so-called ghosts or gods.

It was the pile of soil that was blown away by the gloomy wind.

The words "ghosts and gods" were introduced to the ears of King Han.

His body couldn't shake.

Did ghosts and gods appear?

He had some fear in his heart, but it seemed that Su Xuan had given him the courage. He still persisted in looking towards Su Xuan, but in the end, he saw nothing.

Su Xuan ignored the curiosity of King Han and the attendant.

In front of him, it seemed like someone had appeared.

He is still conversing with the figure that others cannot see.

Inquire about the other party's military pay.

"Well, I understand now. You should step back first!"

After chatting, Su Xuan said another sentence, pinching a sword finger and moving towards him. In an instant, the pile of soil suddenly scattered and scattered all over the ground, following the soil.

The Yin wind that had originally lingered in the palace also suddenly stopped, dissipating along with the mist beside Su Xuan.

"Your Majesty, I am fortunate to not betray my fate!"

Suxuan turned his head and looked at the frightened King Han, calmly speaking.

Han Wang's body shook up for a moment, then came to his senses and asked Su Xuan, "Mr. Su, have you found the whereabouts of those lost military pay?"

Su Xuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Although it's a bit unbelievable, I used the technique of teleportation to summon the ghosts and gods that are entrenched in the Soul Saber Valley. I learned from him that those military salaries were not robbed by them!"

"How could it be?"

King Han was shocked. A hundred thousand taels of gold in military pay disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and ghosts and gods appeared. It wasn't the ghost soldiers who robbed it, so who did it?

"That's why I said it's unbelievable," Su Xuan said calmly. "Based on what those ghost soldiers said, they were only discovering the appearance of Han's army, so they took the initiative to scare them. Those military salaries are valuable things for people in this world, but they have no meaning for them wandering souls wandering in the wilderness."

"According to him, those military salaries disappeared after encountering rain."

"When gold meets water, it disappears on its own?" Han Wang looked incredulous. "How could such a thing happen?"

"No, it's still possible!" Su Xuan said.

Facing King Han's puzzled expression, he continued, "The premise is that those gold are not real gold!"

Su Xuan said, "I am proficient in the art of alchemy and medicine. In addition to medicinal herbs, alchemy occasionally uses some rare minerals. As far as I know, there is a type of ore in this world that looks very similar to gold in appearance. It melts when it encounters water and burns when it encounters water. Therefore, it also has a nickname called 'Water Dissolves Gold'!"

"Water consumes gold?" King Han reacted, "Sir, are you saying that my military pay is not actually gold, but water consumes gold?"

"I do have this speculation!" Su Xuan did not conceal it.

"Impossible!" King Han was very certain that his military pay was real gold, not a mineral similar to gold like water consumption gold.

"Perhaps the initial military rations allocated by the king were real gold, but there is a possibility that they were replaced by someone during transportation!"

"Who is it? Who is so bold? Even daring to act recklessly with military pay?!" Han Wang suddenly became furious.

"In this world, there are always some people who have more courage than ordinary people imagine. They not only dare to take action against military pay, but also dare to take action against the presiding judge responsible for investigating this case in order to hide the truth."

"Originally, I only speculated that the deaths of several chief judges might have been human made, but with the help of the technique of clearing the underworld, I summoned ghosts and gods, and learned about what happened in the Ghost Valley that day from their mouths. Now, I can confirm it!"

"The incident of ghost soldiers demanding their lives is human made!"

Just as King Han was very certain that his gold was real, Su Xuan also appeared exceptionally confident at this moment, firmly believing that the information he obtained through his secret technique was true.

If it were the former King of Han, even if he guessed from the bottom of his heart that the disappearance of military pay was artificial, there would still be some doubts.

What if it's done by ghosts and gods?

But perhaps it was because of Su Xuan's various mysterious methods in front of him that he firmly believed in Su Xuan's words.

"Is it really impossible to retrieve my military pay?" The King of Han was somewhat disappointed.

Although it is known that the disappearance of military pay was man-made.

From the behavior of the people in the dark, willing to kill all the chief judges, it can be seen that the other party has shown a certain momentum in terms of military pay

If it is done by ghosts and gods, it is still possible to use Mr. Su's supreme divine power to retrieve it from the ghosts and gods.

If it's human made, how should we find the lost military pay?

"That's not necessarily true!"

Su Xuan gave his own opinion on how to find the lost military pay, but he did not continue.
