Xiao Laodao hurriedly handed the short sword to my grandfather, who took the sword in his hand and weighed it a little, don't look at the short sword body, it is actually heavier than his own, sharp blades, cold and pressing, it is a rare good sword.

The master grabbed the short sword and rushed towards the female ghost, and the female ghost suddenly screamed, as if she was very afraid of this sword, and turned around and ran towards the main hall.

In fact, my grandfather didn't want to do anything to her, he just wanted to scare and scare her, and when he saw the female ghost running towards the main hall, the grandfather stopped his steps and followed behind unhurriedly.

The female ghost ran in with her front foot, and the grandfather followed her heels in, and when she looked into the hall, she couldn't help but be stunned, and saw that the hall was empty and empty, and the female ghost actually disappeared.

What's going on, can't you see the female ghost again? The master didn't think much about it, and turned around and shouted at Xiao Shiyi at the gate of the courtyard: "Eleven, can you come and see where the female ghost is?" It was at this time that my grandfather noticed that Xiao Shiyi's face was pale and listless, and he was lying on Xiao Chujiu's back weakly, as if he was sick.

Xiao Shiyi nodded reluctantly, Xiao Chujiu carried him into the courtyard, Xiao Laodao walked to the door of the main hall at this time, looked into the hall, and asked my grandfather: "Brother, can't you also see it?" ”

My grandfather glanced at the hall again, and said helplessly: "I could see it just now, but now I can't see it, I don't have yin and yang eyes." ”

Xiao Laodao asked suspiciously: "Then how did you see it just now?" ”

The master shook his head, he didn't understand what was going on, it was said that he had enough yang energy, and he shouldn't have seen these dirty things.

Xiao Chujiu carried Xiao Shiyi to the door of the main hall, and my grandfather looked at Xiao Shiyi again, and saw that Xiao Shiyi's lips were white, his eyelids drooped, and his eyes were misty, as if he was about to fall asleep.

My grandfather was a little unbearable, and asked Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with Eleven?" ”

Xiao Shiyi glanced at my grandfather weakly, and wanted to gesture to my grandfather, but Xiao Laodao interrupted him and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, Eleven, you can see where the female ghost is hiding." ”

Xiao Shi nodded slightly, looked around the hall with a strong spirit, and finally shook his head.

"Gone?" My grandfather asked.

Xiao Shiyi nodded lightly again, and Xiao Laodao said: "It should have run, Eleven's sword is not only sharp, but also a magic weapon to drive away evil spirits and avoid demons. With that, several people walked into the main hall, and the little ghost monkey in the courtyard saw this and entered the main hall without a sound.

Xiao Laodao paced around the main hall for a while, and finally, his eyes fell on the skeleton in front of the shack, and asked the master, "Brother Liu, how can there be a deputy human bone here?" ”

My grandfather hurriedly walked over and replied: "This should be the bones of the wolf child's mother, I heard Chu Jiu say that Brother Xiao can see how people died from the bones, Brother Xiao might as well show her." ”

Xiao Laodao turned his head and glanced at my grandfather, "What about the skull?" ”

My grandfather was stunned for a moment, and was about to say that he was holding it in the arms of the wolf child, but when the wolf child came out of the hall, he did not hold anything in his arms, and the grandfather asked Xiao Laodao to wait a while, he turned around and walked out of the hall, walked to the wolf child in the courtyard and looked at it, there was indeed no skull.

Picking up the wolf child on the ground and returning to the main hall, my grandfather looked for it in the collapsed shack again, but it still didn't, and finally said to Xiao Laodao: "The skull has been held in the wolf child's arms before, maybe he hid it, or let's look for it in the hall." ”

Xiao Laodao waved his hand, "No need to look for it, according to my experience, the soul of the female ghost is hidden in the skull, she is leaving now, she must have taken the skull with her, we can't find it." ”

My grandfather nodded, he heard my ancestor say, but all the souls left in the yang world have a lodging item, such as the body of the deceased, the deceased's favorite object during his lifetime, and so on. The female ghost's body should be her skull before her death, in other words, as long as you get the skull, destroy or burn the skull, the female ghost has to go if she doesn't want to go, however, the ghost rarely can touch the objects in the yang world, and she can take away her own body, you can't say that there is no, but it's rare, even if it is the bones of the deceased before her death, it can be regarded as an object in the yang world, once a person dies, everything that can be seen and touched in the yang world does not belong to it.

Xiao Laodao looked at the skeleton again and said: "Judging from the skeleton, the deceased is a woman, judging from the degree of decay of the bones, she should have been dead for eleven or twelve years......" My grandfather nodded, this is the same as what Xiao Chujiu said before.

Xiao Laodao squatted down, looked at the skeleton carefully, and then said: "The murderer should be the first time to kill, and the woman was stabbed to death by the murderer in a hurry......"

When my grandfather heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xiao, how do you know that he was stabbed to death with a knife?" ”

Xiao Laodao said: "There are two knife marks on the woman's sternum, the murderer originally wanted to stab her in the heart, and the knife ended her, however, outside the heart is the sternum, the knife should be pierced horizontally from the left side of the sternum, and the blade passes through the middle of the second rib and the third rib, so that it can pierce the heart, and the murderer stabbed her twice, and the blade was upright, blocked by the ribs, and could not be pierced at all, which shows that he has never killed anyone...... According to my estimate, he should have stabbed the woman in the abdomen several times, causing the woman to lose blood and die. ”

My grandfather secretly admired Xiao Laodao in his heart, and he was so proficient in killing people, as if there was nothing he didn't know.

Xiao Laodao stood up from the ground, beckoned Xiao Chujiu, put down Eleven, took the dry bones outside, and found a place to bury them. Xiao Chujiu came, and my grandfather also went over to help, and the two of them barely dug a pit under the wall behind the temple, because it was a rocky land, the pit was not too easy to dig, and the bones of the female ghost were buried shallowly.

When the two of them returned to the temple, as soon as they entered the courtyard gate, the master smelled a pungent smell of wine and meat, and when he walked to the door of the main hall, he saw five or six paper bags on the ground of the main hall, which were full of cooked food, and there were four or five small wine jars next to the paper bags.

Xiao Laodao hurriedly greeted the two of them, they had been hungry all day, so they hurriedly ate something first, and a few people sat on the ground, and they ate and drank like this.

While eating meat and drinking wine, my grandfather looked at Xiao Shiyi, who was sitting opposite him, and asked Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, why have you been there for so long?" Eleven: What's wrong with him? ”

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he poured a sip of wine, "Alas, don't mention it, I hunt geese all day long, but today I was pecked by geese, eleven he, he should have been poisoned......"

"Poisoned?" My grandfather glanced at Xiao Shiyi again, in the past, those masters who taught my grandfather kung fu had told my grandfather that people who are generally poisoned have blue faces and unbearable pain, and when the toxicity penetrates into the bone marrow, their faces will turn dark, judging from Xiao Shiyi's symptoms, it seems that it is just the opposite, and it does not look like poisoning at all.

My grandfather asked, "What kind of poison is in him?" ”

Xiao Laodao pondered for a moment and said: "It should be corpse poison, when the old man in the tomb dries up, didn't I let the two of them watch next to the coffin, it should be at that time, the old man's corpse will become wet and dry, and it will emit a very strange smell, this smell I have smelled in the past, it's fine, eleven this time...... Maybe it's because of his physique, his physique is yin, and this smell has yin in it, plus some poisonous gas, he was poisoned...... Brother, I was careless this time! Listening to Xiao Laodao's tone, he was very self-reproachful, on the other hand, he felt very sorry for his two apprentices.

"Brother Xiao, you don't have to blame yourself." Saying that, my grandfather turned his head and glanced at Xiao Chujiu, Xiao Chujiu was also looking at the corpse at the time, he was fine, it seems that it is really a physical problem, my grandfather comforted Xiao Lao Dao, "It's not so much corpse poison as yin poison, eleven should be caused by the forcible invasion of yin qi into the body." ”

My grandfather paused, and then asked, "Is there an antidote for Brother Xiao?" If not, I can try it with the method of exorcism. ”

Xiao Laodao smiled bitterly, "Actually, I've never been sure if Eleven has been poisoned by corpses, listening to what my brother said, it is really possible that he has been poisoned, but ...... I still treated Eleven according to the method of curing corpse poison. Saying that, Xiao Laodao glanced at Xiao Shiyi, "At the moment, it seems that it will work a little, but the recovery is a little slower, and the elder brother doesn't have to bother anymore." ”

Saying that, Xiao Laodao changed the topic, and Xiao Laodao asked my grandfather, "Originally, I booked a few rooms in their town, but then Chu Jiu found us, and he said to me, you offended a few ruffians in their town, right?" ”

"Yes." My grandfather nodded and said, "Those few people are no big deal, Brother Xiao doesn't have to worry about them." ”

"It's not like I'm worried about them." Xiao Laodao said: "There is a way that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, I am afraid that you will enter the town and find it for them, so the guest room will be retreated, tonight, I can only grieve the old brother, let's spend the night in this broken temple." ”

My grandfather smiled faintly, he didn't say anything, but in his heart he felt that Xiao Laodao was too careful.

At this time, Xiao Laodao seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly stood up from the ground, opened his own baggage, my grandfather looked sideways, there was a straw paper bag in the baggage, Xiao Laodao opened the paper bag again, and there was a large piece of cooked meat inside, which was the size of a child's head.

Xiao Laodao said to my grandfather: "I almost forgot, this is the cooked beef I bought for the wolf child, this child, as long as he starts to eat cooked food from now on, the white hair on his body will slowly fade, and then he will be able to shed his wolf nature soon." As he spoke, Xiao Laodao beckoned Xiao Chujiu, released the rope from the wolf child's hand, and tied his feet to him.
