Chapter 274 Blocking
Seeing that Cao Yang was a little absent-minded, He Liansheng became a little furious. When it came to He Yiner, he would never allow others to make jokes.

"Old He, calm down. Mingyu is already dead. We can't afford to lose any more people. Dealing with Ghost Lake is the most important thing. I know this young man Cao Yang. I'll go talk to him and he'll definitely give you the answer to your granddaughter's question."

Seeing that He Liansheng had already taken out an old item and was ready to start summoning spirits, Boss Liu stepped forward and quickly stopped him, while patting his chest and assuring him.

"You're going to stop me too?"

He Liansheng's face was blue and purple, and he was obviously very angry. He had always thought that this old friend was just a little dissatisfied with his temper, but he could still distinguish right from wrong in the face of major issues. He didn't expect that today Boss Liu's elbow had turned outward.

However, before he could finish his words, the tall faceless man came over, and his figure completely blocked the thin He Liansheng. At the same time, he gestured with his two hands in the air:
"Cao Yang is here to deal with the Ghost Lake incident. We are not enemies."

Obviously, the Faceless Man also did not agree with He Liansheng's action.

However, Cao Yang did not care about the situation of the three of them. The body of the laundry woman was still warm, and if He Liansheng got into trouble again, the Taiping Ancient Town could end early.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. When Boss Liu was young, he went out to make a living and was not in the ancient town. He was smooth and good at dealing with people. The Faceless Man always remained absolutely calm and rational and would never act rashly.

Among the four of them, the washerwoman had the worst temper and was also sarcastic; the second was He Liansheng, who had a stern face most of the time, spoke harshly, and his temper was not much better either.

"Alas - I don't know whether it is right or wrong."

He Liansheng reluctantly took back the relic and sighed. Both of his old friends were trying to stop him, and Wang Mingyu was dead, so he couldn't have the final say, so he had to give up.

Boss Liu then put on a smooth and flattering smile and said:

"Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth, I'll go talk to Cao Yang."

However, as soon as he turned around, he heard a "plop" sound, as if someone had fallen into the water, and the two black-sailed boats that had just been floating on the surface of the Blood Lake had disappeared. Apparently, Cao Yang, who had just been talking to them, had suddenly sunk into the Ghost Lake.

"You still summoned the spirit?"

Boss Liu looked a little stunned. He subconsciously thought that it was He Liansheng who secretly summoned the soul and pulled away Cao Yang's boat, causing him to sink into the lake.

Now it was He Liansheng's turn to be confused. He did nothing, and the Faceless Man could testify to that.

Three of you, look at me and I look at you.

The result is already very clear. It was Cao Yang who jumped into the Ghost Lake himself and retrieved the black-sailed boat.

"He's a good young man, why did he want to jump into the lake?"

Boss Liu stood on their small black boat, collecting the body of the laundry woman Wang Mingyu while expressing his regret for Cao Yang.

"That guy is not that simple. Didn't you notice that the entire lake has been dyed blood red since we arrived? This must be his trick."

"Besides, he was able to beat Wang Mingyu in front of the three of us, so maybe he wouldn't die if he fell into the lake."

He Liansheng snorted coldly. He was quite dissatisfied with Cao Yang, but it happened that the other party seemed to have some information about He Yiner.

"If it weren't for this ghost blood, even if I put on a few ghost clothes, I would have run to the lake to look for Yin'er."

The faceless man gestured in the air, he seemed to have a different opinion: "He is not dead, this blood is not simple, it should be related to a predecessor in the past."

"Blood, sir? You mean... red?"

Boss Liu's mind worked very quickly and he thought of many things in an instant, but when he was halfway through his words, the faceless man stopped him. In the supernatural circle, there are some things that cannot be spoken casually, and no one knows whether it will bring disaster to oneself.

"Yes. I was lucky enough to see one of the pieces in the series. It was a cupboard. I heard it was very strange. There were often voices coming out of it."

Boss Liu didn't dare to touch those red furniture too much. It was already great for him to have the chance to take a look at the things of the big guys.

"We shouldn't come into contact with ghost blood easily. If we want to deal with the ghost lake, we have to find a lake that is not stained by ghost blood."

The faceless man gestured quickly in the air to express his opinion.

"Forget it, let's go back. Wang Mingyu's body needs to be dealt with. It's a pity that the tailor shops in Taiping Ancient Town and Ghost Street will be completely extinct from today."

He Liansheng's cloudy eyes moved slightly, and his face looked a little sad. He had guarded the ancient town for his entire life, and didn't want to care about or pay attention to anything that happened in the outside world.

But now it's different. Ghost Lake is out of control, Wang Mingyu was killed, and he has no ability to defend his own piece of land. Maybe it's just like Cao Yang said, the times have really changed.

The faceless man stood at the bow. Although his flat face had no facial features, it did not cause him any adverse effects or inconvenience.

"The loss of control of Ghost Lake is inevitable. We cannot and do not have the ability to deal with it, either in the past or now."

Boss Liu read out the words the faceless man had pointed out, then he sighed and said slowly:

"That's right. If you really had the ability, you wouldn't have let this lake exist for so long."

"We've reached the ferry. Burn Wang Mingyu's body and take off the ghost clothes. Even if the inheritance of the tailor shop is cut off, it should at least leave some traces in the world."

He Liansheng gave the order and at the same time took out a strange match from his arms, casually struck it across his hand and lit it.

The faceless man was carrying Wang Mingyu's body, while Boss Liu carefully tore off five or six pieces of clothing. These clothes were printed with ghost faces, mutilated limbs, and strange hands. They were all real ghosts, but they were sewn into the clothes.

He Liansheng threw the match on the corpse, and Wang Mingyu's cold and damp body was instantly ignited, with a raging fire.

The eerie fire emitted a stinging burning sensation. The laundry woman's body gradually turned black in the fire, and her clothes quickly turned to ashes. At the same time, shrill screams were heard from the flames.

"This is the last piece of clothing made by the Taiping Ancient Town tailor shop. It is also the best one, better than the shroud."

The firelight reflected on He Liansheng's face. He took the ghost clothes handed to him by Boss Liu with a serious expression and put it away solemnly.

"Let's go. It's time to stretch our old bones. We haven't made any contributions in all these years. Let's start from today, from Ghost Lake. While I still have strength left, I will try to clear some obstacles for future generations."

Stepping onto the black boat, He Liansheng's eyes suddenly became stern, and he spoke word by word, as if he had made a great decision.
