Kang Xu pondered, and he walked to the shore and observed the reeds.

He found that the reeds along the shore had some damage, and judging from the shape of the damage, it was obvious that it was caused by the rolling of heavy objects.

Kang Xu knew in his heart that the damage of the reed was caused by the time the corpse was thrown.

However, Kang Xu did not make a judgment.

He walked along the riverbank, and only made his judgment when he was sure that there was no more suitable place to dump the corpse.

"The place where the body was dumped is upstream of the village, and it is very likely that the place where the crime occurred is near here." Kang Xu pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked Bao Jia: "Bao Jia, yesterday I asked you to look for a suspicious person in this village, how did you look for it?" ”

"Back to my lord, after you left yesterday, the little one asked from door to door, but still no suspicious person was found!" Bao Jia bowed and said.

Kang Xu stood on the embankment, looking at the vast waters, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

Although the place where the body was dumped was found, the scene of the crime could not be found, and it was still to no avail.

"Wang~."

Suddenly, a dog barking came into Kang Xu's ears.

He followed the sound and saw that it was the Chow Chow climbing on the embankment, calling at his own reflection in the water, as if communicating with the reflection, and playing there happily.

Kang Xu looked at the Chow Chow, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly had an idea.

Kang Xu bent down and squatted down, he stroked the soft hair of the Chow Chow, and said half-jokingly: "Little guy, this official needs your help with something, you can't refuse!" ”

The Chow Chow was very comfortable being scratched by him, and after a few purrs, he licked Kang Xu's wrist affectionately.

Kang Xu smiled slightly. Then he took out the silk silk found in the bamboo forest outside the city from the cloth bag and placed it in front of the Chow Chow's nose. Said seriously: "Little guy, remember this smell." Help me find the scene of the crime, and I'll make a big credit to you. ”

The Chow Chow is very human, it seems to understand Kang Xu's words, stretches out its nose and sniffs on the silk, wagged its tail at Kang Xu, makes a howl, and immediately runs away.

Seeing this, Kang Xu stood up and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and keep up with it!" ”

Everyone was stunned. Hurriedly followed behind Kang Xu and trotted all the way to catch up.

The Chow Chow ran wildly, and everyone followed closely behind, and the people who ran straight were out of breath.

Kang Xu followed the Chow Chow, but found that the Chow Chow was running towards Hetou Village.

Everyone followed, and suddenly there was a turn in front of them, and the Chow Chow suddenly disappeared.

Kang Xu hurriedly walked over, he walked straight around the corner, and after a moment he found the Chow Chow squatting in front of the old mansion.

I saw Kang Xu coming. The Chow Chow barked at him twice, then wagged its tail and stuck out its tongue.

In front of me is a mansion, judging by the size of the house. It seems to be a rich family.

However, the gate of the house was closed, and weeds grew on the high walls, which was full of gloom. It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time.

At this time, the armor and the officials also followed.

"Armor protection. Where is this? Kang Xu pointed to the house in front of him and asked.

Bao Jia saw him stop in front of the house. Busy said: "Back to my lord, this is a deserted house, which has been abandoned for a long time. ”

Kang Xu stepped forward and looked at the faded vermilion lacquer gate, which was locked with a chain full of rust, judging from the heavy rust on the chain, it was indeed some years.

"You guys open the chains." Kang Xu looked at the chains, and then ordered.

The two officials nodded, drew their knives and were about to cut at the chains.

"My lord, no!" Bao Jia hurriedly stopped the two, and his face suddenly changed.

"Why not?" Kang Xu frowned.

Bao Jia's face was a little ugly, he shrank his neck, and said in horror: "My lord, you don't know, this house is ...... Not clean! ”

Kang Xu glanced at him and said, "This house has not been cleaned for a long time, so it is naturally not clean, and the official is not blind, can't he see it?" ”

The corners of Bao Jia's mouth twitched violently a few times, he scratched his head, and said, "My lord, you misunderstood. When I say it's not clean, I don't mean that the courtyard is uncleaned, but that there are dirty things ...... it. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say? Isn't there something hidden in this, are you afraid that the official will not know about it? Kang Xu raised his eyebrows and shouted.

This shout suddenly startled Bao Jia, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "The adults are angry, how dare the villain hide things in this deserted house, it is really because this house is haunted, and it is a ghost house in this village." ”

"Alright, you get up and talk." Kang Xu's face softened a lot, and he frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"My lord, don't you know, this house was originally owned by a large family in this village, this house was originally very good in feng shui, but I don't know when it became a murderous house, and the people who lived in it would always die tragically for inexplicable reasons. Later, the family moved out of the village. Since then, the villagers have often heard the ghosts crying from the house. Bao Jia bent over, his face like ash.

"Nonsense, are there ghosts and gods in this world? Don't you hear of the 'strange power and chaos', and you, as a party protector, believe such nonsense? Kang Xu flicked his sleeves and said coldly.

"Adult, the villain didn't believe it at first, but ...... But one day, the villain also heard the cry of resentment coming from this house, which can't be allowed for the villain not to believe it! Bao Jia writhed unnaturally, as if he had thought of something strange and terrifying, and his face was very frightened.

At this time, not only Baojia, but even the village chief followed: "My lord, Baojia is right, there are indeed ghosts in this deserted house. Anyone who entered without permission died violently for no apparent reason. Even the mage we invited to slay demons was captured by the evil spirits. My lord, this haunted house is a great place to play! ”

"This official has never believed in ghosts and gods, so don't talk nonsense again." Kang Xu didn't believe in the ghosts and gods in this world, and he made up his mind to enter the deserted mansion, so he asked the officials to prepare to open the chains.

But at this moment, a clear drink came from a distance.

"Stop! Whoever dares to disturb the door of the house will be haunted by evil spirits, and you will not leave quickly! ”

With the voice, a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe walked over.

This Taoist priest has a long white beard, high cheekbones, and radiant eyes, looking like a fairy wind Dao bones.

Seeing the Taoist priest coming, Bao Jia and the village chief saluted him at the same time, and they were even more respectful than Kang Xu.

"Immortal Chief, you are finally here, the adult wants to enter the ghost house, please persuade the adult." Bao Jia lowered his head and said respectfully.

The Taoist priest brushed his beard, he didn't look at Bao Jia, but looked at Kang Xu.

"Presumably this is Lord Li of Zhengyang County, right?" The Taoist priest smiled.

Kang Xu stared at the Taoist priest and said indifferently: "Yes, it is this official." ”

"It has been less than a month since Lord Li took office, and he has done several major things in a row, which can be described as very happy and admirable. The poor road has long been famous for a long time, and it is really a blessing for three lives to have the fate to see it today. The Taoist priest held the dust whisk in his hand and smiled.

Kang Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, although the Taoist priest's words were polite, but there was no trace of respect on his face, but there was an air of arrogance all over his body.

"Who are you?" Kang Xu asked with displeasure.

Although Kang Xu wore a veil, everyone still heard it, and Kang Xu was very unhappy.

The Taoist priest had an indifferent expression, he shook the dust, and said arrogantly: "The poor Taoist surname is Yu, and the people in the rivers and lakes call it 'Yu Banxian'." ”

"My lord, this 'Yu Ban Immortal' is the descendant disciple of the current Lu Immortal. The evil ghosts in this haunted house are ferocious, and thanks to the Yu Xian Chang guarding here, the village is safe. Bao Jia bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Yes, sir. Don't you know, since Immortal Yu came, this haunted mansion has been much calmer. Yu Xianchang is not only good at subduing demons and eliminating demons, but also knows the prophet, he is really an immortal in the world! The village chief also praised.

Yu Banxian was praised by the two of them a little fluttering, he said humble words in his mouth, but his expression was arrogant, he raised his head high, eager to stick his head to the sky.

Kang Xu narrowed his eyes, he put his hands behind his back, looked at the pair of nostrils thrown at him by Yu Banxian lightly, and said with a normal expression: "It turned out that the immortal chief was coming, and being able to see the immortal chief was the luck of the official's three lives." ”

Yu Banxian stroked his beard proudly, very satisfied with Kang Xu's respect, he coughed a few times, and said solemnly: "I heard that the adults are going to enter the ghost house, I don't know what's going on?" ”

"Without him, the official is just a little curious. There is such a mansion hidden in this small village, and the official thinks that it is a pity that it is so deserted, so it is better to renovate it and build a temple, because he wants to go in and investigate it. Kang Xu said lightly.

The corners of Yu Banxian's eyes twitched slightly, but they returned to normal in an instant, he waved the dust, and said, "My lord, this house is occupied by evil ghosts, and it is the most dangerous. If it weren't for the poor road guarding here, the unjust souls in this ghost house don't know how many villagers would have been killed. According to the observation of Poor Dao, this ghost house must lead directly to the Yellow Spring, and if it is rebuilt without authorization, the seal will definitely be lifted, and the evil ghosts will definitely come out of the nest. In this way, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

"It's that serious?" Kang Xu's eyes widened and he said in surprise.

Yu Banxian nodded solemnly and said, "How dare Poor Dao deceive adults? Poor Dao traveled the world with the Lu Immortals, slaying demons and eliminating demons, how chic and happy, but Poor Dao stayed in this Hetou Village, the purpose was to guard the Huangquan Passage. ”

"Yellow Springs Passage?" Kang Xu's expression was a little frightened, and he said in surprise: "Legend has it that the Huangquan Passage will appear in the world every hundred years, and countless evil ghosts will spring up every time it appears, is a natural disaster coming?" ”

"Yes, it is indeed as the Lord said, the heavenly opportunity has appeared, if this Yellow Spring Passage is opened, it will definitely cause irreparable disasters!" Yu Banxian nodded heavily, and said: "I didn't expect the adults to know about this, since the adults know the danger of the Huangquan Passage, you must not get close to this ghost house, otherwise you can't do anything even if you are poor!" ”

When everyone heard what the two of them said so seriously, it seemed as if the end was about to come, and their faces were frightened. (To be continued.) )
