Chapter 10: Visiting the Ghost Market
[The book continues from the above, the last book said that the immortal path was dormant and did not make a move, this time Gong Xiaoyun was possessed by an old monster, and Mu Qingming also relied on some clues on the corpse to deduce that this monster seemed to be leaning over the woman. When the police saw that no one knew him, they had to retrieve the body. Mu Qing was suspicious, and decided to go up to Happy Horse Mountain again and enter the ghost market to visit the city owner. 】
"I don't think it's like the Tao of Immortality; If you think about it, Changshengdao left the body on the street after the murder? After thinking for a long time, Mu Qingming shook his head gently; Although he couldn't be sure what the monster was, he was sure that this time it was definitely not the Immortal Dao.
"From the tower keepers of the East and West Temple Towers to the floating corpses in the lotus pond, the techniques are very strange but clean, and you haven't found any signs of resistance from the deceased." Mu Qing paused, glancing at the finger marks on the deceased's shoulders, it was obvious that the murderer did not let the deceased escape.
"Have you ever seen Changshengdao personally handle the victim, has there been such a messy scene?" After moving his gaze from the miserable internal organs of the deceased, he asked Liu Yang softly to the confused and frowning Liu Yang.
After the last time he suppressed the main altar of the Immortal Dao, he knew that Liu Yang and Zhao Liang were the policemen in the police department who secretly investigated the Immortal Dao, so in front of Liu Yang, Mu Qingming did not squeak and hide it.
After Liu Yang heard the words and thought about it for a while, he found that there was really none. Changshengdao is very organized and disciplined, and there are many masters under him, whether it is the tower keeper of the East and West Temple Tower, or the twenty-eight female corpses of Shentang, even Xiao Xu, who died in Li Jin's house, died cleanly. Even if the corpse had wounds, it was neat so that it would not be as messy as the dead body they saw today.
After thinking for a while, Liu Yang also thought that what Mu Qingming said was reasonable, so he nodded and said thoughtfully: "But who will this be?" ”。
"If I can see the body and name the murderer, you can all go home and take the children." Mu Qingming spread his hands and smiled: "No matter what, you go and ask, what is the name of the deceased, and you have to ask for clarity first, right?" ”。
After he reminded him, Zhao Liang remembered this matter, but the crowd around had already been driven away; Fortunately, the police officers of Chengnan District, who first received the report, had already asked these questions.
At that moment, Zhao Liang beckoned, summoned a small policeman over, and asked some basic questions.
"The deceased's name is Shan Lao Er, and he is a well-known drunkard in the neighborhood. In the past, on the wharf in Qingfeng Pu (now Qingfeng Street in Kunming), I did some coolies to carry them. After thinking about it for a while, the policeman said to Zhao Liang: "This person is famous for his alcoholism, and his salary in the past was not much, but he still used it to buy wine and eat, so he was so poor that he couldn't get a wife." ”。
Qingfengpu mentioned by the police, although it is a residential gathering area outside the city, is connected to Jinhuapu, and the place close to Zhangtang Wharf is naturally indispensable to wharves, warehouses and warehouses. These are the places where coolies are most needed.
Hearing this, Mu Qingming glanced at the dead corpse again and muttered, "No wonder this person is so powerful. ”。 But in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly say: "You can subdue this person with one catch, which shows that the monster is not a vegetarian." ”。
"What is this man's character?" Mu Qingming then turned his head and asked the policeman.
"This ......," the policeman stopped talking, he really hadn't interrogated this question; Then, he who was already planning to talk nonsense in a blink of an eye opened his mouth and said: "An old bachelor, who has no children under his knees and no old age, what character can he talk about." ”。
Mu Qing was silent; At a glance, he could see from the flashing eyes of the little policeman that the other party's sentence was made up, so he didn't bother to ask.
"You can take a look around and see what else you have." After a while, Mu Qingming patted Zhao Liang on the shoulder: "I'll go back to work first." When we have new clues, we will follow them down. ”。
Since it was determined that it was not the Immortal Dao, there was no need for Zhao Liang to keep him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will go to you if I have a clue." ”。
Mu Qingming also nodded his head and walked away.
"Old Zhao, Young Master Mu doesn't seem to be helping us much." After watching Mu Qingming leave, Liu Yang whispered to Zhao Liang.
"Yes, he asked the character to ask us to check, did the deceased have any women of a good family before his death? Could it be because the woman was insulted by the deceased and killed her? "Zhao Liang has been with Mu Qingming for a long time, and he knows that this person is good at leaving room for talking, and he won't be straightforward about anything.
After thinking about it for a while, he guessed that Mu Qingming meant this. Mu Qingming also does mean this; Even if you are a demon, you have to have a cause and an effect, otherwise who would willingly dedicate their body to a monster for no reason?
Even if the world is not proportional to the payoff, there must be a return to pay. The monster just appeared and killed the drunkard, and the purpose was straightforward, either the drunkard offended the monster, or the drunkard offended the woman possessed by the monster.
Zhao Liang's words made Liu Yang ponder for a moment, and his admiration for Mu Qingming added another point. This person is thoughtful, and the speed of thinking transformation is very comparable. At this time, Liu Yang even understood why Zhao Liang was in awe of this Young Master Mu.
After a while, Zhao Liang said to Liu Yang again: "Since the deceased has no relatives and no reason, then no one must recognize the body, you can take it back to the police station." I'll take people to visit the neighborhood again."
Liu Yang responded, stopped thinking after calming down, and began to work......
Mu Qingming, who returned to work in Rongbao Zhai, successfully sold a Southern Song Dynasty Ru kiln that was missing a little bit of mouth to a wealthy merchant in the city.
When the sun was in the west, he said goodbye to the shopkeeper on time and went home. But for some reason, once he starts thinking about today's case on this day, he will think of Gong Xiaoyun.
Gong Xiaoyun's mysterious disappearance last night, and the fact that she came back in the second half of the night, are all reasonable because Gong Xiaoyun said that she had sleepwalking.
But in the middle of the night in the city, a woman in a wedding dress appeared on the street alone, and she was able to come back safe and sound, which itself makes no sense.
And after Gong Xiaoyun came back, the paper man returned, and Mu Qingming immediately cast a concealment spell to sneak into the Jiang family's courtyard, and the words of sleepwalking were overheard by him outside the new house. But the yin and evil aura in the Jiang family's small courtyard disappeared with Gong Xiaoyun's homecoming, and there was no breath at all.
This situation made Mu Qingming even more puzzled. Based on his experience, there are only two speculations about such a situation. One is that the source of the evil spirit left the Jiang family's courtyard; If this is the case, it is a good thing, and it is a blessing for the Jiang family.
But the second one is a bit dangerous; If it is a monster following Gong Xiaoyun, the evil aura will be gone after she comes back, which means that the monster is integrated with her, commonly known as possession.
After returning home for dinner, the more he thought about it, the more confused Mu Qingming became, and decided to go to Happy Horse Mountain again. When Miao Jue was alive, the three sects and nine streams in this Spring City were all Miao Jue to contact, and Mu Qingming had contacts with so many of them; Such as Zhu San of Faqiu (that is, tomb robbery).
But after Miao Jue died, the three sects and nine streams in this city cut off contact with Mu Qingming. If Gong Xiaoyun was really possessed by a monster, this monster was obviously the same as the one who bit the drunkard to death last night.
In this way, in order to track down the traces of the demonic qi of the monsters, it is better to ask the people who know the demons and demons of Spring City well.
Mu Qingming, such a person, really knows one, that is, the city owner of the ghost market. Although this old monk is Amitabha Buddha all day long, he is actually a living corpse. And I'm afraid that the age must be not small, if this monster is some years old, the city lord master will definitely be able to have some intelligence news.
"Miaotian, get me some money." Mu Qingming, who was full of food and drink, wiped his mouth and said to Miaotian, who was also in charge of his money and was in charge of the procurement of the Mu family's courtyard: "Take some more and give me two hundred oceans." ”。
"Young Master, do you want money?" Miaotian didn't go directly to get the money, but asked first; The Mu family can exist in this world for thousands of years, not only because of the secret skills of the Mu family, but also because of the strict family rules. Otherwise, there will be a few losers, and no matter how big the business is, they will not be able to withstand their defeat.
So Miaotian was not afraid of offending Mu Qingming and asked; Don't say that you are ugly, except for the monthly pocket money, Miaotian will never give one more child.
"I'm going to take Mo Han to the ghost market for a walk, and buy information by the way." Mu Qingming replied indifferently. Mo Han was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked urgently, "Really?" ”。
Mu Qingming nodded his head.
"Young master, with all due respect." After thinking about it for a while, Miao Tian agreed to give him the money with a slight bow, but said: "When the girl goes out, it should be to go to Yunjin Night Market or Jiulongchi (Green Lake) to see the scenery." ”。
"Take the money, you are a person who didn't talk much in the past, and when it comes to taking the girl out, you still have a set." Mu Qingming glanced at Miaotian and said with a little impatience.
As soon as the words fell, Miao Tian took out four bundles of ocean wrapped in red paper from his sleeve and put them on the table in front of Mu Qingming.
Mu Qingming's cuffs brushed across the ocean, and after a roll, he put the money in his sleeve and took Mo Han's hand. Then the cuff of the hand that rolled up the ocean drew a earth retreat talisman.
With a "bang", the rune paper that was caught by his two fingers naturally rose, and after the figures of him and Mo Han flashed, the two of them disappeared out of thin air from the hall in the small courtyard of the Mu family.
The next second later, the two stood at the foot of Happy Horse Mountain.
Under the spring breeze, the mountain is still cloudy, and the slightest coolness rises slowly from the soil and spreads in the forest. The slightest gloomy and cold shuttle between the grass and trees, making people feel inexplicably depressed if they are not careful.
However, Mu Qingming and Mo Han's concentration are good, and this little bit of negative emotions from yin qi can't affect them.
Seeing that Mu Qingming didn't say a word, Mo Han knew that he was worried about Miaotian's words, so he said with a little joy: "I think this ghost market is very fun, it's much better than going to Jiulong Pool to see lotus flowers and go to Yunjin Night Market to eat snacks." ”。
"That's it, Miaotian knows something." Her deep-spoken Mu Qingming agreed, nodded again and again, and led her towards the mountain.
When the sky was dark, the two of them came to the entrance of the ghost market, and saw where the smiling city lord was already waiting.
"The master didn't chant the scriptures and changed to Dianjin (Jianghu lip dictionary, Dianjin is the general name of divination)?" Mu Qingming greeted him, looked at his smiling face and said slowly: "Look at this look, it's calculated, I'm going to come to the door today." ”。
"Last time, Young Master Mu's final payment, the old monk hasn't settled it for you yet. Just before dark today, the magpies in this forest were crying non-stop, and the old monk thought that it was the nobles who had arrived. The lord replied, as always, unhurriedly in a gentle tone.
"Okay, great." Mu Qingming laughed, and the ghost city lord also turned sideways and said, "Young Master Mu and Mrs. Mu are invited." ”。
Mu Qingming, can you ask anything from the ghost city lord? What is that monster? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
