I stopped not far from the county seat, and I couldn't find any trace at all. In other words, I simply couldn't catch up.

In desperation, I had no choice but to return to the county seat. Now the rat doesn't know what to do, so let's learn something from him first.

When he went back, the mouse was still lying on the ground. When I helped the mouse into the house, I found that the mouse actually had a knife wound on his back. And that's not all, there are still some blood stains on Zhang Yuan's knife, which means that the knife wound on the mouse's body was done by Zhang Yuan.

After that, I asked the mouse, but the mouse's answer was always hesitant, saying that Zhang Yuan was possessed by a ghost before attacking him. I also checked Zhang Yuan's body, and there was indeed a residue of yin qi in his body, and the yang fire in his body was also very weak.

Now all the clues point to one, and that is the ghost. But what I don't understand is who led me to the sinkhole.

After I got Zhang Yuan and the others back, I sat alone in the courtyard thinking about what had happened recently. However, I found that I still had some clear minds, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to get back the souls of Zhang Yuan and the others first. But I have to go to the old man first, after all, the mouse is injured and can't help me at all, and the only one who can help me is the old man.

With this in mind, I walked slowly out of the yard.

The old man came and went without a trace, and now I don't know where to look for him. I just thought that I would try my luck on the street and maybe meet him.

I walked around the county, and I didn't find the old man at all. Helplessly, I walked aimlessly on the street, and a noisy sound came to my ears, and I looked up to see that I had actually walked near the prison at some point.

Not far away, a man in rags quarreled with the jailer.

"I made a mistake, why didn't you arrest me? Is that what you do? The man looked at the jailer and shouted.

The jailer looked at the man and shouted, "Don't think I don't know, you just want to come in and eat and live for nothing, and I won't arrest you today." You have arms and legs, can't you just do some work on your own? ”

I squinted my eyes and saw that the ragged man was the old man. I was overjoyed, thinking that I couldn't find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here.

Then, I walked quickly to the old man's side, looked at the jailer, and said, "The jailer brother is really embarrassed, so I'll take him away." ”

The jailer looked at me and said, "Your father?" ”

After hearing this, my face was full of black lines, why did I become my father, I haven't even seen my father, and I returned my father.

"No, no, it's an old-timer of mine. I'm sorry to cause you trouble, so I'll take him away. With that, I took the old man and walked into the distance.

The jailer looked at me and said nothing, for if I didn't take the old man away, he would give them a great headache. It can also be said that I have indirectly helped them a lot.

The old man looked at me and shouted, "What are you stinky boy doing, do you know that I almost made it, you know how good it is for you to spoil me." ”

"Senior, this is not the place to talk, let's talk in another place." As I spoke, I stopped paying attention to the old man.

The old man was pulled by me, and he scolded me with all kinds of ugly words.

The old man and I walked to a tea stall and stopped, the old man was very reluctant, but he finally sat down under my tugging.

"Seniors, juniors are really looking for you." I looked at the old man and said.

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly said, "Don't say anything about that business, and I won't help if you say it." And I told you a long time ago, I have already retired in this business, and the affairs of your business have nothing to do with me, I just care about my own food. ”

When I heard this, I was immediately unhappy, but I still said in a more respectful tone: "Senior, no matter how you say it, you were once a member of the Dao Sect. Now that something is going on here, you can't just watch it. I think with your strength, it will be easy to solve this matter. ”

"Shit, what I regret most is doing this. It's so poor that I'm dying of poverty now, and I'm not as comfortable as ordinary people, don't say anything, I won't help you. With that, the old man prepared to turn and leave.

I was really helpless to see the old man like this, so I hurriedly got up and grabbed the old man and said, "Senior, even if I beg you, you can always get it." Didn't you help me before, and this matter is definitely not so simple, my strength alone is limited. ”

The old man shook my hand away, and then walked away quickly, without any answer.

I know it's a no-brainer. This old man is not in the oil and salt at all, and it is impossible to ask him to help, it seems that the next step is to rely on myself.

With this in mind, I walked slowly into the distance. After that, I returned to Zhang Yuan's home, and Zhang Yuan was like falling asleep at this time.

I was going to take a look at the mouse, but when I got to the room where the mouse was staying, I noticed that the mouse was missing. But the mouse's injuries can't heal so quickly, how can it disappear? Could it be that the rat was taken away by someone? Then I dismissed this idea, this mouse has no effect, even if someone wants to arrest him, it is unlikely.

Could it be that the mouse deliberately concealed something, he was not so seriously injured at all, he was just lying to me. When the thought came to me, I struggled to recall what had happened during this time.

At this time, I felt more and more suspicious about this mouse. Why did he suddenly come back here last night, he should have followed me. And it didn't take that long to help me prepare things before, what did he do during that time? A series of questions suddenly appeared in my mind.

It was then that I had a feeling that the rat might have something to do with the man I had met at the graveyard that night. And, before I did it last night, I thought something was wrong with this mouse. Now that I think about it, it was he who made me feel a little weird, always like something was on my mind. There are also knife wounds on his body and the yin qi on Zhang Yuan's body, it is very easy for a Taoist priest to do something on ordinary people, so I think it should be Zhang Yuan who found something before he will attack the mouse.

I didn't find out about it before, because I trusted him too much.

When I thought of this, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, I didn't expect such a scum to appear in this sect. But I can't say it that absolutely, it's just some of my suspicions. But as long as Zhang Yuan's soul is found and Zhang Yuan wakes up, all this can be solved.

Now that the mouse has left, if this matter really has something to do with him, then Zhang Yuan's soul must have been taken away by him. Last night he asked me to go out to chase him, but he was just stalling for time. If that's the case, he's sure to come back again, and his purpose is to leave the rest of the people who are young. In other words, I'm just going to have to wait and see.

Then, I walked out quickly. I found Zhang Yuan's subordinates, and we have known each other for the past few days. I told them what I thought, and they were skeptical, but in the end they chose to do what I said.

I asked Zhang Yuan's subordinates to gather all the people in Zhang Yuan's house, but fortunately, there were only five or six people, not many people. After arranging these people, I prepared a spell to deal with monsters and ghosts for Zhang Yuan's subordinates and those people.

When everything is ready, all we need to do is wait quietly. If I'm not mistaken, the current rat will certainly not guess that I have discovered some problems, and he will definitely come back.

After that, we simply got some food to eat, and then we each found a place to rest. Time passed little by little, and I was thinking about rats all the time.

Towards evening, the rat walked into the courtyard.

I knew that after the mouse came back, he walked out of the house and looked at the mouse and smiled: "Haha, Daoyou, you were so seriously injured last night, I didn't expect to be able to walk around so quickly." ”

"No, the injury is not much better, but the matter of this case can't be put down, so I went out to find clues." The mouse walked up to me and said.

"Oh? Did that Daoist friend find anything, or did he have any clues? I asked hurriedly.

The mouse said helplessly: "No, no, I'm not back now, this matter is not as simple as we imagined." ”

I nodded, "yes, it's not as simple as we thought. ”

Then we were quiet for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist, I just saw that those people who are in the sun and the moon have all been brought here, what are you going to do?" The mouse turned to look at me and asked.

I narrowed my eyes and told him what I thought. Of course, I just said something, bringing people together, and then bringing the ghost here.

The mouse was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled: "Haha, this method is really a good way, so it seems that we should have gathered them together a long time ago, and the previous thing was purely superfluous." ”

I nodded: "Yes, your injuries are not healed yet, go and rest quickly." ”

"Ah, there's no rush for this. Since we're already about to deal with that ghost, I'll go out and prepare some things, and I'll be able to help later. With that, the rat prepared to walk out of the courtyard.

The corners of my mouth showed a slight arc, thinking that I had guessed that eight or nine would not be far from ten, and there was really something wrong with this mouse.

I hurriedly grabbed the mouse and said, "No need, I've already prepared everything, you just have a good rest." ”

After hearing this, the mouse's face flashed with a hint of anxiety for a moment.

He turned to look at me and said, "Since the Taoist friends are ready, then I will just wait to watch the play, and I will go back first if there are still injuries on my body." ”

Without waiting for me to speak, the mouse turned and walked towards a room. I looked at the mouse's back and sneered, and then I turned around and went back to my room.

When I got back, my soul was separated from my body, and when I walked out of the room, I stood quietly outside the room where the mouse was.

A moment later, I saw a half-bright rat walking out through the wall. At this time, he had not yet seen me, who was also a soul, and was standing not far behind him.

The mouse came out and glanced ahead, and whispered, "Do you still want to keep Lao Tzu?" Don't think you see something and try to stop me. ”
