After a long time, I gradually got used to my surroundings, and when I opened my eyes, I could see everything around me clearly.

The rising sun, and the green grass and trees around me, these things I haven't seen in a long, long time. A birdsong came into my ears, and this familiar feeling made me feel that I was still a living person.

During my days in the cave, I almost forgot that I was still a living person, and I was busy with my own business every day, and I had long forgotten about the outside world.

"Alright, my mission is complete, and now I can go back to my life. As for you, you should do what you are supposed to do, and maybe we can meet again, maybe we'll meet again. The man said, standing beside me and looking into the distance.

I turned my head to look at the man and said, "Well, thank you for this time." ”

"Say thank you, if you want to thank you, go and thank Shangguan Gongzi, I'm just acting as ordered. Okay, I'm leaving, we'll see you later. With that, the man walked in the direction of the bottom of the mountain.

Looking at the man's back, I wanted to stop him and ask his name. We've known each other for so long, I don't even know his last name. But in the end, I still didn't shout out, maybe he didn't tell me his last name, and he had his own thoughts.

Then, I also thought about the direction down the mountain. I went straight back to the village, and the village was still the same as it was three years ago, but the Qiansuan Pavilion was clean and tidy. It's not surprising that the man has been helping me deliver things for the past three years, and the place where he lives must be the best choice.

Afterwards, I walked into the Thousand Suan Pavilion to freshen up. After all, in the past three years, I haven't taken care of my hair and beard, let alone taken a shower. At this time, I am no different from a wild man.

After some freshening, I noticed that the water in my bath was gray-black. This shows how dirty my body really is.

I decided to leave tomorrow after a few simple meals, because I had a general idea of the situation outside in the past few years, after all, there are so well-informed men. Now the ghost king's movements are getting bigger and bigger, and I can stop some of them.

With this idea in mind, I packed some simple things in the Sensuan Pavilion. While packing up, I found a brand new set of clothes. I guess the man had prepared it for me, and then I looked at my clothes again. At this time, my clothes were in tatters, and there were holes in many places.

I shook my head with a wry smile and put on my new clothes. The size of the clothes also fits, and I don't know how the man knows how big the clothes I am wearing.

In the evening, I simply got something to eat and went to bed early.

The next morning, I simply packed my bags and left the village again. And the first place I want to go is Qingfeng Temple, after all, I haven't visited my master for three years, and now it's time to visit him.

And so I started on my way day and night.

On this day, when I was passing by a county seat, I found that several people from the county government were putting up notices. Out of curiosity, I leaned in to take a look.

When I read the contents clearly, I realized that there were dead people in this county. And it's not one or two who died, so the county government is posting notices looking for the real culprit.

I took a look at the date of birth of the deceased, and I found that the years and months of death of these people were all people born in the yang year. Then, I remembered that in the past few years, the man told me that the ghost king was catching the people of the yang year and the moon, and absorbing their yang energy, and I thought that this matter was probably related to the ghost king.

I think this is a good opportunity to help the yamen find out something by the way, and I can also find out where the ghost king is by the way. Well, there are unexpected gains.

With that in mind, I was about to reach for the notice.

Just as I was taking a step out, a man suddenly appeared next to me, and he stepped forward and tore the sign off.

I looked this person up and down suspiciously, this person was much older than me, the whole person looked sharp-beaked monkey gills, and there were two mustaches under the nose, and he was not a good person at first glance. In addition, this person's body is also skinny, as if a gust of wind can blow him down.

"What are you doing? Do you know the news of the dead? A catcher asked, looking at the man who had torn off the sign.

The man smiled and said, "Hehe, I can only help you with this matter, I said that this matter is not man-made, it is probably related to ghosts." ”

His smile is as obscene as he wants. That smile was as if I had seen a yellow flower girl on the street. If it weren't for the crowd, I would have wanted to go up and punch him twice.

The catcher glanced at her, and then said, "Then you come with us, I want to see what kind of ghost you are, if you dry clean us, the prison is waiting for you." ”

After saying that, he pulled the man and walked into the distance. I looked at the few people who were far away and shook my head helplessly, that person didn't look like a person in the Daomen, could it be that it was to announce the bounty above? Or is it that I really lost my eyes, and he was originally a master.

After thinking about it, I decided to stay in this county for a few days, and by the way, take a look at what is going on here.

After that, I found an inn and stayed there. After living in the inn, the most talked about topic in the inn is the recent death of people in the county. There are many people who say that ghosts and gods do it, and some people say that it is man-made, and there are no ghosts and gods in this world at all. I inquired about the shopkeeper by the way, where the body was parked.

After that, I ignored the people and went straight back to my room. When I got back to my room, I lay on the bed and closed my eyes.

I decided to go to the place where the corpses were parked tonight and take a look, if those people were really sucked dry of yang energy by ghosts, I could see at a glance, if not, then there was nothing I could do.

As time passed, night fell quietly. I prepared a night suit to put on, then opened the window and jumped out.

It was close to midnight and there was not a single pedestrian on the street. I glanced around, and then ran in the direction that the shopkeeper had said earlier.

Just as I was halfway through the run, I suddenly noticed a few people not far in front of me. The direction in which they went was where the bodies were parked. I think they should also go to see the corpses, so I'd better not act rashly and quietly follow them to see the situation first.

Then, I hid in the shadows and quietly followed a few people. The place where the body was parked was in the county jail, and the body had been parked there because it had not been claimed.

The prison is guarded by the people of the county government, and ordinary people cannot easily enter it. When a few people got there, they didn't know what to say and then went in.

As the others turned their heads, I saw the appearance of one of them clearly through the torch at the door of the prison. The man was none other than the sharp-beaked monkey gills he had seen during the day.

After a few people entered, there was no movement. I couldn't act rashly, so I just waited in place.

Finally, when I was bored, several people finally came out of the prison. I saw that the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man was sighing non-stop at this time, he left without saying anything along the way, and those who came with him followed him quietly.

I saw that the two men had left, and hurried over. But I forgot that I was still wearing a night coat, and when I walked out, I realized that I hadn't changed my clothes.

"Who?" One of the jailers guarding the door of the cell looked at me and shouted.

When I heard this, I hurriedly said, "I'm here to see the corpse, don't get me wrong." ”

"Hmph, looking at the corpse is no longer seen during the day, why do you come in the middle of the night. And the clothes you're wearing are sneaky, and you don't look like a good person. Someone, arrest me. As soon as he finished speaking, several jailers suddenly rushed out of it.

Seeing this, I really have a hundred mouths that I can't justify, but I can't hit the jailer either.

Moments later, the jailers surrounded me.

"It's really not what you think, it's really just a misunderstanding." I explained to the jailer again.

But at this time, the jailer didn't stop me to explain, and came up and locked me up. Subsequently, I was directly taken into prison by the jailers.

I wanted to escape, but when I saw this situation, I didn't resist, because I could see the body. As for going out, let's figure it out later.

Then the jailer escorted me into the prison. As soon as I walked in, there were a few steps down. At the bottom of the stairs is a flat ground with a table and benches.

On one side, there were several wooden beds, and on top of each wooden bed was a white cloth, and under the white cloth should be the corpse of the deceased.

Further on, there is an aisle, and on either side of the aisle are cells one after the other. There is a wall between each cell, and near the aisle is a wall made of wood the thickness of an adult's arm. There is a gap between each wood, and then an arm can stretch out from the gap.

I was locked in the first cell by the jailers, which was empty and the floor was full of weeds.

"Let me go in and stay honestly, and wait for the adults to judge you well tomorrow." As he spoke, the jailer shoved me in.

I hurriedly turned my head to look at the jailer and said, "I was really wronged, you can't arrest people indiscriminately." ”

"Hmph, that's what everyone who came in said, but in the end they were all recruited, I advise you to think clearly, and the province will suffer tomorrow." With that, the jailer left.

"Hey, why are you so unreasonable." I shouted as I looked at the jailer's back.

But the jailer paid no attention to what I said, and walked out quickly. After a while, a few more jailers came in and sat down at the table to drink tea.

I didn't say anything at this point, after all, I had already come in, and I would be able to see the bodies of those people next. And even if I wanted to say something, the jailer wouldn't listen.

I shook my head helplessly, then looked at the places where the bodies were parked. But because the body was covered with a white cloth, I couldn't see what was going on underneath.

In desperation, I decided to use my soul body to go out and have a look, so that I wouldn't have to alarm the jailers. With that in mind, I walked over to the side of the wall and sat down. Immediately, I slowly closed my eyes.

"Hey, hey, crush Lao Tzu." Suddenly, a voice came from beneath me.
