In the early morning of the second day, facing the morning mist, several people came to the lake.

The dampness at the water's edge was particularly heavy, and the once flat scenery was buried in the mist. The sun had not yet fully risen, everything was quiet, and even the sound of insects and birds seemed empty.

"Is Liangyue-kun really around here? After so many months, I'm afraid I have changed places early. ”

Mu Wan was a little skeptical, but Shanhai was very confident in the results of divination. Shi Wuqi said with a smile, Daoist Rin dared to pack the ticket, and if he was not allowed, he would knock his head with the judge's pen. Ah Luan wanted to laugh heartlessly, but he was afraid that the mountains and seas would be white on him.

It stands to reason that the fog should have cleared, but they felt that the scenery in front of them was getting more and more blurry. Ah Luan wanted to grab the mountains and seas, but when he walked too far ahead, she dragged the corners of Mu Wan and Miss Qi's clothes left and right respectively. Shi Wuqi followed at the back, whistling melodiously.

I don't know how long I walked around the lake, Mu Wan was a little annoyed.

"Stop blowing."

“…… I didn't blow it? Didn't any of you pick it up? ”

Shanhai glanced back and said lightly. Ah Luan waved his hand again and again, saying that he couldn't whistle.

Miss Qi can't breathe, let alone whistle.

Who could that be?

Several people stopped and turned their heads to look in the direction of the lake. There is a faint silhouette on the shore, as if a person is sitting. They walked over and saw that there were indeed people fishing by the lake. The fishing rod was resting on the ground, and he was holding a leaf in his hand and whistling softly. Although there was still mist, the appearance of the angler was clear. His hair was half-tied, his silver-blue crown was carved with crape myrtle, and his clothes were embroidered with hibiscus, and the fabric seemed to be good. He was well-dressed and well-behaved, not like he had come to fish.

The whistle stopped abruptly. He threw the leaves to the water, raised the rod, and threw them down again. The shiny hook flashed by, and there was nothing on it.

"What are you fishing? Why is there nothing on the hook? Dai Luan asked him.

"Those who wish take the bait."

With that, he suddenly put away the rod again, stood up, turned around, and bowed to them in an upright manner. Shanhai hurriedly returned the salute.

"Hmm, aren't you fishing?" She asked again.

He didn't speak, just smiled lightly and shook again. His face looked clean and plain, and his every move was elegant and elegant, like a white-faced scholar.

Shi Wuqi obviously noticed that there was a striking round of three days and moons in his eyes.

"Looking at the mountains and seas in the lower sky, dare to ask Your Excellency's name?"

"Xishu Wenxiang, Liangyue-kun."

"Xue Yan Sect, Liangqiu Muwan."

"There is no renunciation in the underworld."

"You can call me Ah Luan - this is Ah Qi."

Dai Luan tugged at the hem of Miss Qi's clothes. Shanhai took a step forward, took out the judge's pen from his cuff, and handed it to him.

"This is your thing?"

"It seems that you are the people recommended by the Polar Moon Monarch."

"Exactly."

Liang Yuejun took them and walked around the lake. Shanhai wanted to ask him more, but he didn't say anything, walked unhurriedly, and followed a circle of people around him. The morning fog has cleared somewhere, and all the scenery has become vivid.

Coming to a moored awning boat, Liang Yuejun invited them to board the boat and took them around the lake. They didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this man's gourd, and Mu Wan asked him bluntly, why didn't he talk about the Ten Thousand Ghosts in detail?

"Didn't you say you lost it, I don't think you're in a hurry." Shi Wuqi said.

Liang Yuejun bowed again, and said lightly:

"No problem. I will take you to see all the sights of this place, and I will tell you all about it on the ship. ”

What a scholar, how sour his speech is. Mu Wan thought to himself.

Who lost something, the emperor is not in a hurry, so what's the hurry. Shi Wuqi complained in his heart.

The two men looked at each other, and it seemed that for the first time they had a common language.

Ah Luan doesn't care, as long as there are fun things, she never cares what she should do or what happens. She jumped onto the boat without paying attention, and the boat shook violently. Shanhai looked at him, not knowing what he was calculating, but he understood that these impermanence thoughts could not be understood in the same way as ordinary people. So he also went out into the boat. When the other people saw this, they didn't say much.

The small boat was full of six people, and it headed towards the middle of the lake in the rising sun.

"I've been here for more than four months. When the snow melted in this lake, I came here. ”

Liang Yuejun propped up the boat and said slowly. They didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

"I'm working on a case that has troubled me to this day."

"Could it be related to the Ten Thousand Ghosts?" Shanhai finally asked the point.

"Not really. Ten Thousand Ghost Chronicles, the whereabouts of which were unknown half a year ago. However, if this case is not dealt with, I will not be able to let go of my heart and concentrate on finding it. ”

"What?"

"Come with me."

The boat gradually approached the shore. When the five men poked their heads out of the tent, the sun pierced mercilessly. On the shore, through a sparse grove, they came to another village. I never thought that the lake was so wide that you couldn't see a little bit of the village from a distance.

"Four months ago, there was a murder here, and only a girl of seven or eight years old survived."

"Destroying the door?" Shi Wuqi asked him, "It sounds like a big deal, but what does it have to do with your six impermanences?" ”

"It's true that the case in the human world doesn't belong to me, but this matter, people say it's related to youkai."

"What youkai?"

The village is well developed and well-equipped, but it is smaller. When he came, many busy villagers greeted Liang Yuejun and were polite to these visitors. It seems that he is also quite famous in the local area, and he has indeed stayed for a long time. However, two people carrying burdens passed by them, one pretended not to see it, and the other rolled his eyes at Yu Yuejun. When they passed by Ah Luan, they bumped into her.

"Oops, that's annoying!"

She shouted loudly, and the two men didn't look back.

They came to an empty place. It's a lot more deserted here, and the houses of the residents next to it are full of people's lives, but not here. There was a thick layer of ash on the fence, and no one took care of it.

"It's the family that's dead."

Liang Yuejun pushed open the dilapidated courtyard door and led them in.

"Does the girl live here alone?" Mu Wan asked.

"No, it's an open space. Before his death, the master's family signed the title deed, and this place will soon belong to a rich man. The one who offended Miss Luan just now was the rich man's family, and I dragged it on for too long, and they already had an opinion. The rich man of this village in the provincial capital is the nephew of the local magistrate, and he has been doing evil for a long time......"

Mu Wan frowned and scolded unabashedly: "Hey, it's that group of dogs and beasts again." ”

Shanhai asked, "Where did the girl go?" ”

"Kidnapped by youkai - that's what the villagers say."

"Is there such a thing? Do they want you to deal with that monster and get the baby back? ”

"According to the rules, this kind of thing happens a lot, and it is not the turn of the six realms of impermanence to intervene. It's just that they said that the whole family of five was wiped out by that monster. ”

"The monster ate the whole family, but only the daughter was left alive...... It doesn't have to be a living mouth. Afraid of taking it away, it is also more auspicious. ”

"No" Liang Yuejun retorted to Shi Wuqi, "In the nearby mountains, there are often villagers chopping wood, saying that they saw the monster with that child. ”

“…… With that child? ”

"Exactly. The girl was alive and well, but she was a little scared. The villagers tried to snatch her back many times, but the monster was fierce. ”

It sounds like there is something hidden, but it can't be said two or three. A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally set my eyes on Liang Yuejun.

"What's even more bizarre is this property. The rich man had fallen in love with the land, but they didn't sell it, and in the end, I don't know who they were talking to, so they agreed and signed the deed of ownership. It's just that no one knows where they are going to move, and before things can settle down, they are attacked by youkai. ”

I always feel that this rich man and the monster are in the same group.

"Has this family been eaten by monsters?"

"Not really. The five bodies of their family are still hidden in the ice cellar shared by the village. I have injected spiritual power to keep them incorruptible. It's just that the villagers have some opinions in their hearts, and if they don't deal with it, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

"Do youkai kill people and don't even eat them? So how do you know that they were killed by that monster? ”

"A witness said he saw it. The wounds on their bodies do look like they are biting. Will you help me? ”

Shanhai looked at the other two, one rolled his eyes, the other shrugged, and neither spoke.

"You're here to show the way."

As soon as Shanhai finished speaking, he couldn't find Dai Luan's shadow left and right. She was running around in the yard again.

"Look! This cottage is so cute. ”

Luan pointed to the small house on the side of the house. The eaves and timber are new, and it looks like an area has been specially designed. It's just that the house is small, half a person high, and there is no doorway.

"Oh, it's a kennel. A long time ago, the child's mother was returning home from farm work when she picked up a dirt dog. The dog had a loose belly, blood and bite marks, but there were no puppies around...... It's like having suffered a catastrophe after giving birth. It lay alone on the side of the road, dying, and the hostess took it home, and the men repaired the nest. I'm afraid that the time is still too short, and it is not mature, and it will run away after the monster attacks. ”

“……”

"Oh, no more, I'll take you to the ice cellar at any time."

"Don't worry, I'll take a look." Shanhai said.

When walking around the front and back yards twice, Liang Yuejun talked about some details. The family's surname is Tan, and the only daughter who was taken captive is called Tan Ge. The five people who died were her parents, her father's parents, and her aunt. Her aunt is a bit stupid and hasn't married yet. All five of them had two deep, fang-like holes in their bodies, and they all died of blood loss, and blood flowed from their homes.

Shanhai pushed open the door of the house.
