Standing on the outskirts of Mocheng, Luo Minghe looked incredulous.

"I'm coming out now?"

"If you don't want to leave, I'll send you back." Off the beaten track.

Luo Minghe hurriedly said: "Thank you for your kindness." But, no. He glanced at Xuan Nian, who was looking around curiously, gave Liyan a look, and called her aside.

"Are you going to take him on your way?" Luo Minghe asked worriedly.

Li Yan turned his head to look at Xuan Nian, he was looking at the two of them with wide eyes, ready to go with them at any time. Moreover, drugging is useless for him; Do it, the two of them don't know if it's his opponent, so what can they do if they don't let him follow? Moreover, listening to Dongfang Yu's words, he seems to know him. Now, she had to gamble that they weren't someone sent by Azuki. If she loses the bet, she will be able to see Chaoyue, which is convenient.

Thinking about this, Liyan nodded slightly.

"Are you sure?" Luo Minghe asked in a low voice.

Liyan said helplessly: "Can I get rid of him?" ”

“……”

Luo Minghe thought for a while and whispered: "I have prepared a rope, why don't we ...... him"

Li Yan didn't care why he had to bring a rope when he ran away, but she felt that the rope might not be able to tie Xuan Nian, unless he had a rope in his hand. However, it was clear that he didn't have this high-level artifact in his hands.

"He doesn't seem to have a good brain, so take him first." Off the beaten track.

Luo Minghe squinted and looked at Liyan for a while, "Do you think he is with you...... Something you want to do, right? ”

"It has nothing to do with you. You'd better go find your girl. ”

Luo Minghe smiled and said, "It's okay, anyway, I don't have any news of her now." Moreover, you brought me out, and I have to repay the favor. You are with him, I don't feel at ease, I'll go with you. ”

Liyan sighed in his heart, saying so much, he just wanted to go with them. Liyan thought about it and didn't immediately reject him.

"You brought the money, didn't you?" Liyan asked.

"Of course, I'm prepared."

*

Five days later, at three o'clock in the afternoon, in Yizhuang, Qingshui Town. Luo Minghe frowned and looked at the corpse in front of him with a blue face and a frightened expression.

"What did he see, to be scared to death?" Luo Minghe asked.

The person who manages Yizhuang is a lean white-haired old man surnamed Zhang. He said: "It's not surprising, the second kid of the Zhou family is already small. Once upon a time, when he saw people killing pigs, he was so frightened that he peed his pants. He sighed twice, and then said, "However, if you can let him go out at night, it can be seen that the person's identity is extraordinary. ”

Luo Minghe looked back at Old Man Zhang and praised: "Uncle, not only do you know how to perform an autopsy, but you also have a hand in this case." ”

Old man Zhang glanced at him and said, "Where am I solving the case, I just guessed based on my understanding of him." Just listen to it, don't go out and talk nonsense. Don't let those officials hear it. ”

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't talk nonsense." He took a few steps forward, leaned over to the old man, and whispered, "The county master put people here, and he didn't care?" ”

Old man Zhang sighed and said, "There is a big official coming to the county soon, and the people in the county government are preparing to welcome that big official, how can they have time to investigate the case in our small place." ”

"Isn't there anyone in his family to look for him?"

Old man Zhang rolled his eyes, "If his family took care of him, they wouldn't let him die for three days and still lie here with me." ”

The old man sighed again, and then said: "His name is Zhou Ming, his father and mother have passed away a long time ago, and there is a big brother named Zhou Qiang." After his eldest brother married his daughter-in-law, the two of them separated. His sister-in-law searched very much, and last year when Zhou Ming was sick, his eldest brother gave him money to help him catch a few pairs of medicines, and he was hated by the sister-in-law who looked at him unpleasantly. No, he didn't let Zhou Qiang come to collect his body at home. ”

Luo Minghe was speechless for a long time, he really didn't know what to say. If it weren't for Zhou Ming's sister-in-law asking Zhou Qiang to collect his body, maybe they wouldn't have encountered this incident.

He was thinking about it for a while, and Li Yan and Xuan Nian came back from outside.

"The trailmaster is back." Old man Zhang rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Have you already done it?" ”

"It's all done, as long as there is no human destruction, there will be no problem within ten years."

Old man Zhang said with a happy face, and said that he would go out for a drink.

Liyan earnestly told him that she wouldn't drink.

"Drinking alcohol hurts your body, it's better not to drink."

Luo Minghe was very puzzled when he watched from the sidelines, did he see that Liyan was a girl? Although he is quite old, he has also observed, and his eyes are quite good. Could it be that the words are really so unrecognizable?

When Luo Minghe was thinking nonsense, Liyan had already paced beside him, "What do you see?" ”

"There were no internal or external injuries, and he was indeed scared to death. As for what scared me to death, I don't know. ”

Li Yan looked at Zhou Ming's corpse thoughtfully.

"Why don't you summon his soul out and ask, it will be convenient." Loming River Channel.

Old man Zhang also looked at Liyan expectantly.

Li Yan carefully looked at Zhou Ming, and it was indeed as Luo Minghe said. Given that the cause of his death was indeed somewhat unusual, Liyan thought it would be good to investigate, so he decided to summon his spirit.

She looked around, and there was only one body here, Zhou Ming. However, the yin qi in this place is too heavy, and if you perform the soul conjuring technique here, I am afraid that it will attract the souls of others.

After thinking about it, he asked Luo Minghe to get a handful of Zhou Ming's hair.

Luo Minghe looked back at the old man Zhang, and the old man pointed to the position of the scissors, and he didn't mean to help at all.

"Offended, we also want to find out the truth about your death, and please forgive me." After speaking, he carefully took off a small handful of hair from Zhou Ming's head.

A few people took their hair to the open space a mile away from Yizhuang, set up the formation from the words, and recited words in their mouths, but there was no trace of Zhou Ming's soul.

Xuan Nian looked at the empty circle curiously, and Luo Minghe asked directly: "Is he afraid and dare not come out?" ”

Liyan stopped the incantation in his mouth, and his expression became serious.

Luo Minghe and Old Man Zhang also became nervous, and Luo Minghe asked nervously, "What's wrong?" ”

"His soul is gone." Off the beaten track.

After all, Luo Minghe didn't know much about their affairs, but Old Man Zhang was well-informed, "What does the little Taoist mean, is there something that eats his soul?" ”

"It's possible." globe

Old man Zhang rubbed his hands nervously, "The three of you don't know, there was a Taoist chief in our town before. ”

Liyan nodded at him and motioned for him to continue.

"That was more than 10 years ago......"

Twelve years ago, Qingshui Town was the richest town under the jurisdiction of Fuyang County.

That fall, a husband and wife moved into town. The man was mute, tall and strong, with a handsome face. He would do carpentry and hunt, and soon found a job in the town and settled down.

His wife, when she came to town, wore a veil, and no one saw her face.

There was no shortage of good people in the town, wondering what kind of face the woman had. The women thought that she must be disfigured, so they would stay at home all day and dare not go out.

At first, the people were just curious, but after a few temptations, seeing that she really didn't want to take off the veil, no one bothered them anymore.

However, there was a man named Zhao Qing in the town who was very curious about the veiled face, and he was sure that the veil must be a face that captivated the country and the city. The more he couldn't see it, the more curious he became, and every time he passed in front of their house, his heart itched terribly.

However, he knew that he was no match for the man, and he had never dared to think about it, but he had never dared to do anything.

Until winter came, the first snow fell. Qingshui Town is covered in snow, which is a rare beauty in the world. Xu Hui, the second young master of the Xu family in the city, came to Qingshui Town to enjoy the snow.

The snow appreciation is fake, he was actually sent by his father to Qingshui Town to reflect because he was molesting a woman from a good family in the city.

Zhao Qing has some relatives with the Xu family, and the two often drink together. After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Qing told Xu Hui that there was a face under the veil that had a face that captivated the country and the city.

Xu Hui is the most lustful, and when he heard this, he was immediately moved.

Moreover, he is more active and more powerful than Zhao Qing.

Xu Hui invited the man to work for him, and half an hour after the man left home, he sent someone to tell the woman that the man had been seriously injured while working and was being treated in the hospital, and asked her to go to see him with them as soon as possible.

When the woman saw that he was the one who had come to work for her husband, she did not suspect him and hurriedly followed the man.

The man led her into an inaccessible alley, where her fists were no match for her four hands. What's more, she is just a powerless woman.

The moment the veil was torn off, everyone saw the face under the veil. Indeed, as Zhao Qing said, it is really a face that captivates the country and the city.

There were tears in the corners of the woman's eyes, and I saw pity.

Zhao Qing's eyes glowed green, and he was thinking about how good it would be if he were that man. has such a beautiful daughter-in-law, he is dumb and admitted.

The woman cried and cried to find her husband, and Xu Hui kindly told him that he would take her to her husband.

In this way, he took the woman back to the Xu family's courtyard. But the woman did not see her husband in the courtyard.

She waited all day and didn't see her husband. She wanted to leave, but the courtyard was guarded by tall guards, and there was no way to escape.

When the last rays of sunlight disappeared into the sky, a man came in the courtyard. The woman rushed to the door with confidence, only to find that the person was Zhao Qing who was with Xu Hui in the morning.

Zhao Qing was very curious about a woman's appearance, and when he really saw a woman's appearance, he also thought about taking it for himself. But after all, it was just a thought, and he never thought of putting it into action.

So, when he learned of the man's death, his first thought was to come to her rescue. He had brought disaster upon her, and he didn't want to see her sink deeper.

A woman who knows the news of her husband's death is like ashes. Her heart was as dark as a lightless sky.

She refused Zhao Qing's request to take her away, and slowly walked back to the room where she would be imprisoned for the rest of her life.

Soon, Xu Hui returned.

He pretended to tell the woman that her husband had died of his injuries. Before he died, he entrusted him to take good care of him. He also told her that he would marry her and take her to live in the city.

The woman didn't speak, and Xu Hui agreed with her.

That night, a fire broke out in Xu's house, and Xu Hui and the servants of the Xu family were burned to death. Zhao Qing, his eyes were blinded, and people were crazy.

The next day, it was also discovered that the body of the mute was missing, and they did not find the woman's body.

After that, there were a lot of dead people in the town. Because the dead were all old people, everyone didn't care too much.

Until, one day, a Taoist chief came up to the town. He told them that the reason why the town was dead was because of ghosts.

The man waited in the town for fourteen days before he finally found the female ghost who had been haunting the town. It was the ghost of the woman who took her husband's body away and tried to resurrect him with the spirits of the people in the town.

The Taoist told her that people cannot be resurrected after death, and her husband cannot live, so where can she listen.

When the Taoist heard what happened to her, the new life took pity on her and could not bear to let her go there with her sins. And he sealed her away, purified her soul, and after fourteen years, he came and sent her there.

After listening to Old Man Zhang's story, Luo Minghe swallowed nervously and asked, "How likely is it that she did this?" ”

"Half and half. I didn't feel the ghost aura on Zhou Ming's body, there are two possibilities, one is that she is strong enough to hide her aura; The second is that she didn't do it. ”

Old man Zhang said seriously: "I also think that this thing can't be done by her, the original Dao chief was very powerful." ”

Luo Minghe looked at him speechlessly, and said in his heart You don't think it's her, why are you telling us this story.

Old man Zhang sighed and said, "Little Daoist, I won't tell you anything." When the Taoist Master left, he said that he might not be able to return to this place in fourteen years. I asked the old man to let the Taoist who was passing by here go and see the man. ”

Liyan thought for a while and said, "Well, I should go and see her, she has been here for so many years, she should know something." ”

"Can you do it?" He was worried about the first thing she said.

Li Yan looked at Xuan Nian behind him and said, "I can't, there is still him." ”

Luo Minghe looked at Xuan Nian, and his heart was half cold, this stupid boy only thought about protecting Liyan, how could he care about his life or death.

"Dao Chief, if it weren't for ...... That person, what else could it be for? Old man Zhang asked in a low voice.

Liyan was entangled for a moment and said, "I think it may be a demon." ”

"Why are you so unsure?" Luo Minghe said strangely.

"After the war between gods and demons ended, the passage to the human world was closed, and neither gods, demons, or demons could come to the human world." Off the beaten track.

Luo Minghe and Old Man Zhang looked at Liyan with wide eyes, as if they had heard some shocking secret.

"This is what my master told me when I was a child. I believe what the master said. Believe it or not, whatever you want. Li Yan looked up at the sky and said to himself: "Now that ghosts appear frequently, maybe something really happened." ”

The two looked at Liyan with a strange expression, only Xuan Nian behind her, looked at her seriously, and expressed silent support for her words.
