Wang Yi whispered: "My lord, should we rush in now, and directly arrest them all, just catch them all." He had a fierce look on his face.

As soon as I saw his face, I knew that he was telling the truth, maybe as long as Chen Renhe nodded, he would be able to rush in and kill the Quartet immediately.

Chen Renhe shook his head: "Wait, that woman from the Western Regions may just be a substitute for the dead." The real characters haven't come out yet. He shifted his body, and he had been lying on his stomach all the time, and his body was stiff.

Shen Yigui also agreed, and he said lightly: "If you look carefully at it, they seem to be building an altar." I have seen this kind of altar in ancient books, and it appeared during a kind of marriage ceremony. ”

Xie Changan also saw it, but he didn't say it, and then he also said: "It's a gift, and I've also read that ancient book." He glanced at Shen Yigui with a proud look.

Shen Yigui pursed his thin lips slightly, and did not speak.

It's naïve.

The gift is an ancient system, and in the era in which Xie Chang'an lived, this custom was no longer there, but some remote places still practiced this ancient ritual to pray for good health.

The steps of the dedication are not complicated. The most important things in it are all kinds of bronze objects, which are arranged in a specific shape and cannot be separated by a single cent. Then the vessel was filled with pork, mutton, and beef, and they were all raw, and it was most appropriate for the flesh to be bloodied, so they usually chose to kill it when making such offerings. Instead of choosing to buy it elsewhere.

After it is placed, they will choose a respectable person to preside, and then the bride and groom of both parties will come forward to bow down, and after bowing, they must eat raw meat, so that the ceremony is completed.

Xie Chang'an and the others were discussing these things, and suddenly there was a sound of someone walking behind them, because there were many dry branches falling to the ground, and there would be a creaking sound when walking on it, which was very obvious.

They all looked back vigilantly and found that it was Xu Nian, who was sick and resting at home.

Now that the early spring has passed, the weather is gradually warming, and today is a rare sunny day, and everyone is wearing two clothes.

But Xu Nian wore something different, thicker than the one he wore that day to handle the case. The plush cloak is wrapped around the shoulders, with a narrow waist and wide sleeves, and when he walks, he carries the wind with him.

There was no blood on his face, and he smiled at them and coughed twice from time to time.

Followed by Zhuji, who held the soup woman and followed her own girl step by step.

Xie Changan was pleasantly surprised, but worried about her body. He got up slowly, came to Xu Nian's side, looked at Xu Nian carefully over and over again, and then asked in a low voice: "Why are you here, didn't you say that you are sick, are you still feverish?" He threw out a lot of questions one after another, and he didn't know how to get people to answer them.

Zhuji looked slightly lost beside her, did you forget me? Then he smiled again, and he couldn't have a lost expression, he didn't like it.

Xu Nian's eyebrows were crooked, she knew that he cared about her, so she comforted him and said, "I'm much better, it's Xiao and Zhuji who are making a big fuss, cough cough...... It's just that I got a little bit of heat and woke up a little later than usual, and now I'm much better after drinking the medicine. ”

"How can I be so simple here, is it possible that you are not welcome here?" This last sentence was uttered with a joking meaning.

Xu Nian raised half of his eyebrows, with a slight ruffian, and seemed to be alive and vivid, instead of being "lifeless" like before.

Xie Changan had never seen her have such an expression, so he was stunned for a while, stupid.

Shen Yigui patted Xie Chang'an on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Okay, it's time to do business." He said to Xu Nian again, "It's good that you're here, if you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest, understand?" ”

Xu Nian smiled and nodded: "This is natural." ”

Xie Changan was not angry with him for slapping himself, because he thought in his heart that Xu Nian didn't seem to be as wary of himself as before.

So he was very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but he kept twitching his brows, and his mouth was about to laugh and endure not smiling, which directly exposed his true emotions, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the prince was happy.

"Easy, you didn't alarm anyone when you first came, did you?" Chen Renhe asked uneasily. If someone finds out, it will be a surprise.

Xu Nian shook his head: "No, Zhuji and I got off the carriage three miles away from Huoyang Village and came on foot." I didn't meet anyone, so I shouldn't have alarmed them. ”

Chen Renhe nodded and told her the basic situation.

Xu Nian was surprised: "The woman in the Western Regions is not a forbidden woman, how can she seem to have a lot of rights." ”

"For the dead ghost, she is working for the mastermind behind the scenes." Shen Yigui raised his eyes and said lightly.

At this time, there was a sudden crackling sound of firecrackers inside Huoyang Village, which attracted them to turn around and look. It turned out that they were ready, already preparing for worship.

And then there is the sound of someone blowing suona, whining, it doesn't look like it's doing a happy event, it's like it's doing it...... The funeral is average, which is really weird.

The bride was dressed in red, painted with fiery red lipstick, she did not wear a hijab, and the appearance of the phoenix crown was very gorgeous, and it was said that women were the most beautiful at the moment of marriage, and this was indeed the case.

But Xu Nian didn't feel the joy of the bride at all, but felt that she was very indifferent, as if she was so scared that she couldn't speak, walk, or think. The body walked stiffly, like a marionette, without a mind and soul of its own.

The woman from the Western Regions stood next to her and smiled arbitrarily, her pale face was a little bloody, as if she was the bride.

The bride slowly walked up to the altar, moved, and when she was about to walk to the nearest bronze vessel, her emotions suddenly exploded, she grabbed the wind crown on her head, and wanted to throw it down, but she never pulled it off. turned to pull the fiery red wedding dress on his body, first the belt was taken off, and then the outer robe. But before she could continue to undress frantically, someone came to stop her, an old woman.

The old woman's hair was all white, wrapped in a blue patterned turban, and her body was rickety, skinny.

When the bride saw her, her body trembled even more, she screamed, her face was hideous, she was not as delicate as her eyebrows and eyes just now, and she was a ghost.

The old woman was on her shoulder, and her mouth with deep lips moved to and fro, because it was so far away that they couldn't hear anything clearly.

I saw that the woman slowly calmed down, but her body was still twitching, this was the instinct of the body, and she was forced to calm down.

The woman nodded as if satisfied, and left the altar one foot deep and one foot shallow, not knowing where she had gone.

The bride shrugged her shoulders and walked to the bronze with trembling feet, and she slowly put her hand inside, and her face gradually showed a look of despair but relief.

"Ahh She screamed, and this cry startled all the birds in the forest, and they all fluttered their wings.

The woman whimpered in pain, bit her lip and closed her eyes, and then fell to the ground "safely", as if dead. The hand that had been put in was as if it had lost its bones, and all that was left was a soft piece of skin.

The woman appeared unconsciously, and she looked at the bronze with satisfaction, not knowing whether she was satisfied with the bronze or the contents of the bronze vessel.

The woman from the Western Regions ordered the bride to be dragged down, and when she passed by her, she covered her nose in disgust.

When the woman came down with a small sheepskin bag, the woman from the Western Regions seemed to be very respectful and said something to her. The woman looked faint, nodded slowly, and after a while she left again. At this time the second bride came, and the previous ...... Same.

Xu Nian clenched his hands tightly, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Heh, I see, they are really bold, they are just doing these pickled things outside, and they are really not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." "Her clothes are flying, and there is a compelling momentum, this is the real Xu Nian.

Xie Changan's eyes were also filled with coldness: "I'm afraid this old woman is that sister-in-law, and the bone incense is also refined by her." Today's offering is not an ordinary offering, where is the prayer for well-being? It's obviously asking for people's lives! This method of killing is really ...... The sin is terrible! ”

Shen Yigui didn't say a word at this time, but the wrinkles on the hem of his clothes showed the fluctuations in his inner emotions.

Chen Renhe has been handling the case for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen such a cruel and terrifying scene, and he can't come back to his senses for a long time.

Wang Yi and Jinyou are the same, they don't speak, they will laugh for a while on weekdays, but now they don't say a word, which shows how much this incident touched them.

Women wear the clothes of brides, and they do not take the phoenix crown on their bodies when they are buried, which is to give them a decent place before they die. But what is incomprehensible is why they buried the body in the wall, are they really not afraid of being discovered?

"I'm doing a good job, I'm going to investigate." Cangwu saluted Shen Yigui.

He is a stuffy gourd on weekdays, even if he mentions him, he doesn't say a word, and now he says that he wants to take the initiative to investigate, which surprises everyone.

Shen Yigui nodded: "You be careful, everything is based on safety, I don't want anything to happen to my people." "He believes in Cangwu's abilities.

There are two most powerful people around him, one is Cangwu and the other is Mingjiu, Mingjiu was recently sent to Jinghua, so he didn't follow.

And his apprentice Xu Xin hasn't come to him to report these days, and he doesn't care.

Cang Wu nodded, and flew away from the rear without saying a word, he planned to enter from the south of Huoyang Village, so as not to attract attention.

Xu Nian sighed: "If only I could do light work." ”
