I looked in that direction, and saw a jailer carrying a large wooden bucket containing some white porridge and vegetables, which seemed to be in good time. At this time, I seemed to understand why this old man came in, he couldn't eat these things outside, and he would be hungry if he didn't know it, and this white porridge and vegetables were also a good meal.

The jailer placed the two bowls along the gap in the wooden wall, and then poured the white porridge and vegetables into the bowl with a spoon. Take a spoon the size of just enough to fit through the gap.

Then the jailer placed two more cakes on top of the bowl before turning and leaving.

"Oh, the food is finally here, I'm starving to death this old man." As he spoke, the old man got up and walked towards the bowl with the white porridge and greens.

I took one of the bowls and started eating. To be honest, I'm a little hungry right now.

After eating and drinking, the old man and I gave the bowl of chopsticks out.

It was at this moment that I suddenly heard the sound of the cell door slowly opening. After a while, I saw yesterday's very obscene person and the catcher walking in.

"How can this be, their deaths are related to ghosts, why haven't they found anything?" The lewd man walked over to the corpse, looked at the corpse, and muttered to himself.

I knew that maybe this was an opportunity, so I looked in the direction of the corpse and sneered: "Hehe, it's true that it's a ghost, but you don't want to look at their birthdays?" It's such a simple question, but I can't understand it, it's really a waste. ”

As I spoke, I leaned against the wall and made a leisurely gesture.

When the lewd man heard the voice, he was at first surprised, but soon he slowly came to the cell where I was.

"Who are you? How do you know? He asked, looking at me and frowning.

At this time, the catcher also came over, and he turned his head to look at the jailer on the side and asked, "Who is this person?" I hadn't seen him when I came last night. ”

"Head, this kid caught it last night. He was dressed in a night suit, and he didn't look like a good man, so we took him in and prepared to be tried by the above. The jailer said hurriedly.

I looked up at the catcher and said, "Actually, this is a misunderstanding, I came for this corpse last night." I just wanted to see the cause of their deaths, so I wore a night suit so as not to attract attention, and it turned out to be the current situation. But I might be able to help you with this, if you get me out first. ”

"Hmph, I've seen a lot of people like you, and I'm telling you that this case is not to be underestimated, don't you want to take advantage of this opportunity to go out." The jailer shouted from the side.

The lewd man shook his head and said, "Catch quickly, maybe he can really help you, he may be able to give this case a try." ”

After hearing this, he looked at me and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

I spread my hands and said, "Believe it or not, I've said everything I'm going to say anyway, and it's up to you to decide whether or not to let me help." Also, if it's too late, maybe someone will die, you have to think about it. ”

After listening to this, he didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.

"Open the cell door and let him out." After a long time, he turned his head to look at the jailer and said.

The jailer hesitated, then slowly opened the door.

Seeing this, I turned my head to look at the old man and said, "Senior, do you want to go out together?" ”

"Go, go, you take care of Lao Tzu's food, Lao Tzu still wants to eat here, you go yours, don't care about me." The old man said impatiently.

I didn't say anything after hearing this, after all, I had already thought of the old man's situation. There was food and drink in it, so he was reluctant to leave.

"Come out, but I'm going to say it, if you can't fix this, then you'll still come back here." Catcher looked at me and said.

Looking at the arrest of Kuai, he really attaches great importance to this case, after all, it is several lives.

"Now tell me, how to deal with this matter?" The lewd man looked at me and asked.

I glanced at him and said, "It's simple, I'm curious how you checked it." These people are all from the Yang Year and the Moon, so it's obvious that the target of that ghost is naturally a pure Yang person. Next, as long as you count the people in the county, it's okay, it's necessary to be so troublesome. ”

"yes, I didn't think of that. Dare to ask, are you a member of the Daomen? The lewd man looked at me and asked again.

I gave him a blank look and said, "How do you know these things if you don't do this, and you seem to be a very shrewd person, why are you so stupid?" ”

After hearing this, the obscene person smiled awkwardly and said: "I don't think about this matter, dare to ask who is the surname of Daoyou." ”

I replied, "My name is Wang Chuyan, just call me Chu Yan." By the way, how to ......"

But before I finished speaking, the lewd man interrupted me and said, "Oh, you are Wang Chuyan." I really didn't expect to meet you here today, but your affairs are spread a lot in the Daomen. ”

"My business?" I wondered.

"Ah, it's just some of the past, so don't mention it. I am also a member of the Taoist sect, and Taoist friends can call me a mouse, and my fellow disciples and brothers all call me so. The lewd man looked at me and said.

After listening to him, I think this rat is quite suitable for him. He is like this, and he really has a bit of a mouse.

"Okay, let's not talk about it here yet, let's go out first." Catcher interjected on the side.

From our conversation, he also roughly understood that I was not a charlatan, but he was still a little skeptical about my ability.

The mouse and I nodded, and walked slowly out of the cell.

When I got out of the cell, I looked at the catcher and said, "My clothes are still in an inn, I'll go get them out first, and then I'll look for you." ”

After hearing this, he hesitated, he didn't know if I would take the opportunity to escape.

"That's it, I'll go and get it with this fellow Daoist, so you can rest assured." The mouse looked at the catcher and said.

He hesitated, but finally nodded and warned me not to play tricks.

After that, we parted ways with the catcher.

Because I was still wearing a night suit, I was very eye-catching when I walked on the road, and people on both sides of the road looked at me and the mouse.

In the end, the mouse finally couldn't bear it anymore, he looked at me and said, "That fellow Daoist, you go ahead first, and I'll follow you behind." ”

I can probably understand the meaning of the mouse, so I didn't object. After all, I'm dressed like this, and no one can stay around me.

I nodded, and walked briskly forward. When I walked, my head was so low that I didn't dare to look up at either side.

After a long time, I finally arrived at the inn where I was staying. I went straight back to my room after entering, during which the shopkeeper shouted a few words to me, and I didn't pay attention to him at all.

After changing my clothes, I walked out of the room. The moment I opened the door, the people downstairs looked into my room and saw that I was dressed normally, and they went about their business.

I went to the counter and settled the money for the previous night's stay before leaving.

As soon as I walked out of the inn, I saw the rat just walking over.

"Let's go, let's go find the catcher." With that, I walked off into the distance.

This time, the rat was following me closely, not like it was just now.

"Fellow Daoist, what level of ghosts do you think these dead corpses did?" The rat asked, following my side.

I shook my head and said, "I really don't know about this, but judging from those corpses, this is definitely not the work of ordinary lonely ghosts. Because if it was an ordinary lonely soul and wild ghost, it would be impossible to absorb Yang Qi so cleanly, and they would not be able to do it. Therefore, the ghost thing that absorbs yang energy is definitely not an ordinary ghost thing. ”

After hearing this, the mouse was silent for a moment, then looked at me and said, "I think so too, but I have a thought, that is, could this dead person be done by a monster?" You must know that monsters can be transformed, and they can also absorb the yang energy of the human body, and it is not impossible to suck a living person into a dried corpse like that. ”

After listening to it, I think what the mouse said still makes sense, and monsters can hide their demonic energy. Although ghosts can do the same, they will not completely hide the yin energy. But this doesn't make sense, because there is some yin qi in the mouth of the dead corpse, and this clue obviously refers to the ghost thing.

But it doesn't matter, knowing that the people who guard the yang year and the moon in this county will be able to know whether it is a monster or a ghost who really absorbs yang energy.

"When you say that, it's really not impossible for a monster to do it. But as long as we guard the pure yang people in this county, I think that thing will surface sooner or later. Next, we just need to make the trap in advance and catch it, and this will be the case. I thought about it and said.

After hearing this, the mouse nodded: "Well, that's the only way to do it at the moment." I was worried about what to do next, but now it seems very simple. But all of this requires the help of Taoist friends. ”

"Where to say, as a person in the Daomen, it is what you should do to punish the evil in the world. And you and I are both Taoists, and there is nothing to help each other. I smiled.

The mouse didn't say anything more, and he led me towards a dense house in the county.

Soon after, we came to a compound.

"Knock...... Knock knock......" The mouse reached out and patted the knocker on the door.

"It's coming, it's coming." There was a voice in the courtyard, and the voice was not unfamiliar, it was the sound of catching fast.

After a while, the courtyard door was slowly opened, and after seeing that it was me and the mouse, he hurriedly let us into the house.

"Let's hurry up and get down to business, if there is anything you two can do next, how to check it down. The above is already urging me, this case is confusing, and I can only find hope in you now. Catch said as he walked.

I saw that the mouse didn't speak, so I opened my mouth and said, "Next, I will trouble you to count the people who were born in the yang year and the moon in the county." That thing, the target is likely to be these people in the sun, as long as we guard them, maybe we can catch it. However, I am not sure about this. ”

After hearing this, he nodded: "Well, I'll do what you say, and now there is no other way, but to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor." ”

After saying that, he quickly walked towards the house.

I walked into the yard and looked around, it wasn't very big, but it was clean and tidy. Directly opposite the courtyard gate is a relatively large house, flanked by two smaller houses, and in the middle of the courtyard is a stone table and four stone benches. Next to the stone table and bench, there is a peach tree.
