Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Clues

It was almost noon to break free from the lingering dreams of the trek. Lately, I seem to have mastered some kind of balancing secret, and every time I wake up, I am suspended in mid-air, instead of stuck in the bed, which makes me feel a lot better psychologically.

Last night was very chaotic, after being sent home by Li Lu, the fatigue comparable to drunkenness almost crushed me, and I didn't care about any talisman or cultivation, I changed into pajamas and fell asleep. Now that he has woken up, the whole ghost is finally refreshed and has regained the vitality that a heavenly master should have in the past.

There was a message from Li Lu in WeChat, asking me "how do you feel" at seven o'clock in the morning, when I was visiting Zhou Gong, sleepwalking was too empty, and asked the ancestor of the master for questions, and he did not continue to bother.

"I just woke up and I was much better. There should be a new development in your investigation, so let's share it. "I sent him a WeChat message. He just said last night that they would work together and communicate with each other, and he should show his sincerity in time.

It took a long time for him to give me three dry words. "In a meeting. ”

After a long while, he sent me several pictures with dense text, which looked like pictures of some examination report. I opened them one by one and enlarged them, and I struggled to read the contents on my phone, most of which involved "shell nail salons".

"Located in Room 101, Building 1, Happy City Community, the nail salon named 'Shell' does not have a formal business license, and after verification, the property belongs to Luo Yu's name. Luo Yu, male, born in 90, from this city, unemployed, current place of residence unknown...... According to the identification of witnesses, this person is very likely to be a suspect who appeared in Fengbo Village to sell female corpses......" This part is also followed by Luo Yu's ID photo, it is difficult to imagine that the thin and white young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes in the photo is the "master" behind the female ghost, the unscrupulous heavenly master who killed Cao Ke and Guan Linlin.

The female corpse at the scene was confirmed to be Guan Xue by DNA comparison. Preliminary autopsies showed that the deceased had died for about three days, had been refrigerated after death, and the body spots appeared slowly. The cause of death was determined to be cardiac arrest due to an overdose of Midasilam with traces of intravenous injection in the right upper arm. ”

"A large number of scented candles were found in the bedroom cabinet of the shell nail salon, and chemical experiments showed that they contained a large amount of corpse oil, animal blood components, and a small amount of lysergic acid diethylamide components...... At present, the source of aromatherapy and corpse oil is still being investigated......"

I'll just say, the fragrance of the candle lit by the female ghost last night is so weird, and the sandalwood incense has the sweetness of oil, but I didn't expect it to be made of corpse oil. I don't know much about corpse oil, but according to my dad's magical story, corpse oil is very common in the circle of celestial masters, and everyone buys and trades privately, as simple as going to the vegetable market downstairs to buy a bag of apples. As for the type, the corpse oil that came out of the crematorium or the hands of tomb robbers often had no special effect, but was only used by many celestial masters to summon spirits and guide the way, although gray but harmless.

But the one lit by the female ghost doesn't seem to be so simple. I hurriedly opened my Celestial Master textbook and followed the prompts to log on to a hidden Celestial Master exchange forum to find out about the Corpse Oil Candle. After searching, most of the posts are technical exchange posts, such as how to make corpse oil candles, how to use corpse oil candles to detect whether others have lowered the yin, or simply discuss which seller's goods are cheap.

I only had to search for "Corpse Oil Candle" and "Soul Well" together, pop up a popular science post opened by a senior Heavenly Master named Uncle Yang, and turned several pages before I saw the words "Soul Well".

"The deep well of the soul, an undignified secret technique of seizing the capture, Uncle Yang has only heard of it, he has never seen it, and he can't tell the truth from the fake. It is rumored that it is necessary to burn the living people to make candles, add seven snake blood, use the power of the ghosts and ghosts, ignite it, and absorb its fragrance to see the deep well of the soul, take the soul, and be imprisoned at the bottom of the well. ”

I carefully recalled the hallucinations I had last night, no, they weren't hallucinations, the heart-rending pain I felt when I stared into the deep well was real, and I still remember that I still sweat all over my body. It's really unthinkable that the female ghost in Guan Linlin's body and the Heavenly Master behind her are cultivating some crooked and evil ways, and they are in the company of evil ghosts, and in the name of the Heavenly Master's righteous path, they actually do a lot of evil.

Fortunately, my soul is incomplete, especially the three souls of the main yang, I don't know where to fly away, otherwise I should be trapped at the bottom of the well now, looking at the sky pitifully. But if you think about it carefully, after the old factory was dealt with, the female ghost should know that I don't have the same soul spirit as hers, and I don't know why I still use this method.

Thinking of this, I felt the talisman from the clothes I had worn yesterday, and there was still a golden light on the pale yellow papyrus, and a strange green color continued to surge with the cinnabar handwriting. What should I do next, I flipped through the textbook, and prepared the silver incense burner and truncated peach branches, like a rookie chef who learned to cook strictly according to the recipe.

The process doesn't matter, thank goodness the result. I spread out the talisman into the incense burner, and recited words to it, and in an instant, a pungent smell escaped, and the smoke filled the air, forming the image of a woman in her twenties, with a pale complexion, and a pair of eyes without pupils, and they were frightening. Although I can't really see it, I can still roughly recognize the clothes on her body, which are all in the style of the end of the last century.

"You're going to let me out," the familiar shrill female voice rang out again, the edge of the fog undulating and undulating, as if eager to stretch, but imprisoned by some invisible force.

"I called you out because I had something to ask you, you are in this incense burner, it is delusional to escape, don't waste your efforts", I stared triumphantly at the female ghost's constantly writhing waist, laughing at my clumsy skills before, and wanted to eat me, today is not in my hands and can't move, "Look at your dress, you should have died for many years." ”

Although he can't talk to people during the day, he can easily communicate with ghosts.

The female ghost no longer struggled, nor did she answer my questions, but looked at me with the whites of her eyes, not to mention, it really made the ghost's back chill in broad daylight. I saw that it was useless, so I had to pinch a piece of peach branch and float it next to her, chanting a spell in my heart, and in a blink of an eye, a cyan flame ignited at one end, and quickly devoured the peach branch.

"If you don't answer my question, I'll have to burn you", I pointed to the more peach wood branches placed by the incense burner, which were all necessary props to make her disappear, "Seeing that you are young, why do you want to follow Luo Yu to do such hurtful things." ”

"I am a terrible ghost who died tragically thirty-four years ago, I was killed by my relatives, and my grievances are too heavy to enter reincarnation, and I have been wandering in that old-fashioned residential building - a year ago, the owner found me, bought the house I lived in that year, and promised me that as long as I signed a contract with him to help him cultivate, he could help me borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul-"

"So you think he is the master, killing innocents indiscriminately, sucking the essence of living people to help him cultivate those harmful kung fu that is on the side of the door?" Luo Yu looked so young, if he cultivated with the righteous path, he shouldn't have such an evil ability, unless he was assisted by evil ghosts by his side, and took this shortcut of deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors. "What about Cao Ke's death? Why do you use midasilam injection?"

"In order to send a marriage, this is the main source of income for the master, and the corpse that has been sucked in essence cannot be married, you should know these better than me", although she answered my question cooperatively, her face was still full of disdain, as if it was a shameful thing to be controlled by me, and her tone was full of tolerant care when she mentioned her unscrupulous Heavenly Master master. "And the bodies I chose, and the owner will inject them with that kind of medicine himself, so that it will be easier to maintain their rare beauty—as for the last one, I'm not very happy with her nose that has been operated on, but there really isn't a more suitable one-"

At the mention of the beautiful women's corpses that she used, the female ghost let out a shrill and smug laugh, like Guan Linlin showing off her jewels in front of me.

"Enough is enough", I was annoyed by her laughter, scolded her, and then asked her the last important question, which was also the original intention of calling her out, "What about the soul well, the method you wanted to plot against me yesterday, Luo Yu told you?"

"The master knows that you will go to the shell to find me, to find Guan Linlin's body, and specially asked me to light a candle for you. ”

"Your master knows I'm going, then he should also know that I'm a ghost, I don't have a soul in my body, how can I be sucked into the well?"

"The master is clever, how can you not know that you, the heavenly master, are actually a dead man", the female ghost let out another squeaky laugh, like an old table and chair in disrepair, rusty. However, she quickly stopped laughing and resumed her disdain for me, "He is interested in what is special about you, and wants to imprison you, feed you, and conquer you with a deep well - who knew that when you were about to succeed, you actually woke up on your own." ”

I also raise and conquer, to put it bluntly, I also want to be my master. Phew. It turns out that the soul well is not only useful for the living, but also a way to raise ghost slaves, so thinking about it, it is indeed dangerous for me to wake up in time at that time.

The question has been asked almost completely, and now it's up to us to deal with this female ghost. I stared at her thoughtfully, but I couldn't see a trace of remorse on her face, I really don't know if it was because I had lost my conscience after being a ghost for too long, or if I wasn't a good person in the first place. From the answer she just had, it was inferred that the victims who died in Luo Yu and her hands were not only Cao Ke and Guan Linlin, but also more innocent people who lost their lives in their hands, with nowhere to look for them, their bones were incomplete, and they could not even be reincarnated.

In that case, I don't have to waste my energy to send her into reincarnation.

"From last night to now, more than ten hours have passed, and your master has not come for a long time, it seems that he is going to abandon you", seeing her mention Luo Yu's pampered and arrogant appearance, I couldn't help but stick a knife and said lightly. Then he picked up a handful of peachwood sprigs on the table and pinched the mantra, and clusters of blue flames quickly gathered, scrambling to spit out the fire letters. The female ghost instantly understood my intentions and began to struggle violently again, and let out a howl of real fear.

Unfortunately, it didn't help.

"So I'd better burn you for him. A handful of peach wood was put into the incense burner, and the talisman was quickly swallowed by the flames and burned freely. After a while, the smoke in the room cleared, and all the decorations remained as usual, leaving only my single figure floating in the meantime.
