Dark clouds rolled and the sky was gloomy. Zhou Qi hurried along the dirt road, his feet were flying, and his ears were full of whirring wind. The sky before the rainstorm looked unusually depressing, but his heart was indescribably happy!

Before stabbing the master of the Zhang family, through some questioning, he finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter. That Ye Wanqiu was really not arrested by the Zhang family because of her appearance. The reason for this is that it is a small jade seal in the hand of the general judge.

It turned out that Ye Wanqiu had no extra money at home due to his father's sudden illness. took the jade seal he got by accident into the cave to Taiping Town to pawn. In exchange for money, he grabbed medicine for his father. And this pawnshop is opened by the Zhang family, seeing this simple and exquisite jade seal, the Zhang family master saw at a glance that it was a treasure, and his greed rose. asked his son to take someone to snatch Ye Wanqiu into the house in the starry night. I want to force her to tell her where the jade seal came from.

Unexpectedly, Ye Wanqiu's father dragged his seriously ill body and then came to the door, and the family fell to the ground and died after a few pushes. Ye Wanqiu saw that his father was beaten to death by the Zhang family, and would rather die than tell the origin of this jade seal. The father and son of the Zhang family saw that they couldn't get a result, and they peeked at her beauty, so they took turns to violence and torture her. Until Ye Wanqiu couldn't bear it anymore and hanged herself.

However, the jade seal collected before was inexplicably lost shortly after Ye Wanqiu's death, and the whole family rummaged through it and couldn't see it. For this reason, the old man of the Zhang family was furious and killed a suspected domestic slave with his own hands. Over the next few days, the house began to be haunted frequently. Several sons and family members died one after another.

After understanding what happened, Zhou Qi finally confirmed his conjecture. According to King Qin Guang, the five lives of the Zhang family were indeed the work of Ye Wanqiu, who turned into a powerful ghost. I just don't know what role the judge played in it. Since the jade seal is in his hand, no matter what, he has nothing to do with this matter. Maybe Ye Wanqiu turned into a powerful ghost and asked for his life, and he pushed it single-handedly.

It seems that from ancient times to the present, wealth is moving, money can serve ghosts and gods, and even the judges of this underworld are not exempt.

To his surprise, after killing Zhang Dahu, he actually dropped a box. From it came a jade pendant carved with Pixiu. He couldn't help but secretly guess that Zhang Dahu, who was the first evildoer, was not the first to be killed by Ye Wanqiu, and nine times out of ten, it was related to this jade pendant.

Once the mystery surrounding his heart was eliminated, Zhou Qi was relieved. It seems to be a little lighter under the feet.

The rumbling thunder shocked the four fields. Bean-sized raindrops fell suddenly with the thunder. Seeing the vastness of the four fields, Zhou Qi smiled bitterly in his heart, it seemed that he was destined to become a chicken in the soup. When I left Taiping Town in the afternoon, it was still sunny, but I didn't expect that it was just a hundred miles away, as if a world had changed.

A moment later, the rain poured down like a pour. The rough dirt road turned muddy in an instant. He couldn't help but slow down.

Through the rain curtain, he saw from a distance that there seemed to be a lonely temple standing alone on the side of the road. Zhou Qi perked up and hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed over. This summer rainstorm usually doesn't last long. After avoiding this for a while, it should not take much time to hit the road.

Raising his feet and stepping into the dilapidated threshold, Zhou Qi took off his hat and was busy patting the water stains on his body. While glancing intently, he glanced around. This shelter from the rain was originally a land temple, but it has long been in disrepair. Two broken mountain gates fell to the ground crookedly. Even the statue enshrined in the center of the shrine is mottled and mutilated. The offering table is nowhere to be found. Judging from the traces of a fire on the still dry ground, it may have been used as firewood for heating.

"Ding" There was a crisp bell ringing faintly in the rain curtain.

Hearing the movement, Zhou Qi casually threw the wet clothes he had changed into the room. Follow the direction from which the bell came from, and squint through the heavy rain. I saw a carriage faintly driving not far from the road where he came.

As the carriage struggled to stop at the entrance of the Land Temple in the heavy rain, a bell hanging outside the curtain also stopped shaking. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the wrists as white as jade slipped off the cuffs of the green shirt, and a figure came out of the carriage, holding up an umbrella made of oiled paper, and jumped off the carriage with the hem of the long shirt. It seems that it is the young son of someone's family.

"No Adam's apple, failure; Holes in the ears, failure; Well, there's also the action of getting off the car is too enchanting, a failure in failure. Zhou Qi secretly slandered himself in his heart, and after a little look, with his eyesight, how could he not see that this son was a Xibei goods disguised as a man (Xibei is the word Jia, homophonic fake). But looking at the handsome appearance with red lips and white teeth, it is indeed a rare beauty embryo.

There are generally scholars when there are children, just like if there is a young lady, there must be a maid. Sure enough, there was another "scholar" in the carriage, and there was a huge burden on his shoulders. It seems that pretending to be more unreliable than this tomboy.

The corners of Zhou Qi's mouth twitched, but he saw this young "son" walking towards him step by step. Loosened his voice and clenched his fist at him.

"In Xia Su Zimei, I have seen Brother Tai. It is raining heavily in the sky, and it is inconvenient to travel, so I hope that your Excellency will make it convenient to take refuge for a while, and then leave when the weather is clear. ”

"I think your name is Su Xiaomei, is this place the land grandpa, okay? What a treasure to borrow from me! Zhou Qi had another wave of slander in his heart.

"Well, this son, please take care of yourself, I am also here to shelter from the rain." Zhou Qi returned the salute with a fist. Then he turned around and walked to the corner of the wall, found a clean place to sit down. No more speech. More than half of the seven-day mission time has passed. Ning Caichen hasn't landed yet. He doesn't have the time to flirt with girls.

Seeing Zhou Qi's indifferent attitude, the tomboy was stunned, and turned around angrily in the corner opposite the aisle, and his own "scholar" sorted out a place to sit. Sit down. If you have a small mouth, you can hang an oil bottle.

"Childe, when you go out, don't pay attention to these rough people easily. Some people seem to be loyal, but maybe they are villains. ”

Zhou Qi listened to the "scholar" muttering in the ear of the tomboy. I was amused in my heart, just your outfit, even I, a modern person after a thousand years, can't hide it, and it's hard not to meet bad people. I can't help but feel strange in my heart, this girl doesn't study at home, embroidery, and go out dressed as a woman, what kind of trouble is this? Could it be that as Xin Ling'er's girl said, this is too much of the script?

"Cui'er, what you said is reasonable, but after walking for most of the day, it is easy to meet someone, isn't this trying to find out the news from his mouth......"

Zhou Qi had no intention of listening to the muttering of the master and servant, and looked up at the outside of the Land Temple, only to see that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it didn't seem to be getting smaller at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little bored in his heart.

That's it! Outside the temple gate, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves. It didn't take long for a group of knights to stop their horses at the gate of the Land Temple. They jumped off their mounts, tied the reins to the flagpole at the entrance of the temple, and hurried in. Zhou Qi raised his head slightly, squinted his eyes, and saw 6 big men, all wearing hats and carrying long knives. A warrior outfit.

The leader of the person, after taking off the hat, glanced at Zhou Qi and the master and servant opposite him with cold eyes. waved at the five people behind him, walked to another corner adjacent to Zhou Qi, and sat on the ground despite the dirtiness on the ground. Silently took out the dry food and water bladders in the package, and ate and drank on the spot for a while.

"Okay, this little temple is getting more and more lively." Zhou Qi lowered his head, as long as he didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, he had no intention of taking care of them. I had already asked in Taiping Town that as long as you walk about 200 miles along the road, you can reach the river. It's a big town. After walking east for about half a day, crossing the Yellow River and passing through the Tiger Prison Pass, it is the border of the Kanto region.

peeked at it, but the master and servant on the other side were not lightly frightened. Cowering in the corner, their heads hanging like ostriches, for fear that others would recognize them. I secretly guessed in my heart that after this group of heroes, there would be another person.

Before Zhou Qi's thoughts subsided, the incense wind at the entrance of the temple hit. I saw a pair of small embroidered shoes crossing the threshold. A woman dressed in a cloak walked into the temple gate.

The woman's eyebrows are delicate, she looks like she is in her twenties, and her eyes are like water, and she slightly swept the people in the temple. Put away the paper umbrella in your hand. With a flick of his hand, he shook off the robe on his back, revealing the lake-green skirt below. After being wet by the rainstorm, the gauze skirt clings to the body, and when you look at it, the figure is uneven and convex, and the body is indescribably romantic.

Zhou Qi frowned slightly. I was secretly on guard. At the same time as the woman entered the Land Temple, the mark on his right arm was faintly hot. Judging from previous experience, this woman in a cloak is not human nine times out of ten. Of course, he is not Fahai, and he is impulsive when he sees a monster. Whether this woman is a demon or a ghost, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to provoke herself and doesn't cause trouble to the world, he doesn't bother to pay attention to it when she is idle.

As soon as the woman entered the door, the six big men sitting in the corner, except for the one who led the way, just glanced at it hurriedly, and the other five people were eating dry food, and their eyes were all focused on her. Even the two ostriches on the opposite side couldn't help but look up at her for a long time. What especially amused Zhou Qi was that the tomboy even pouted when he lowered his head.

At this moment, a thunderous roar resounded through the heavens and the earth. A trace of panic flashed on the woman's face, and after hesitating for a moment, she actually walked towards Zhou Qi. He sat down next to him.

"It's raining heavily outside, the road is muddy and unbearable to walk on, so it's convenient for the strong man to go, and the slave family can take shelter for a while." If the woman doesn't speak, after this warbler whispered, Zhou Qi squinted and saw that half of the 6 big men on the side were soft and soft, and the soul was confusing.

"I think this young lady is not as simple as sheltering from the rain, not only is it raining heavily outside! This thunder is also big! Miss is fine, it's better to leave quickly! The corners of Zhou Qi's mouth smiled slightly. He looked at her deeply and said in a deep voice.

The woman's eyes were flustered, and she bowed her head silently, as if she didn't intend to move a bit.

"Humph! This little lady went to the temple to avoid the rain, what hinders you, you are all a person on the road, why bother with rumors. On this rainy day, where did you let her go to her cowardly woman's house? One of the 6 people, hearing Zhou Qi say this, stood up and reprimanded him.

The corners of Zhou Qi's mouth twitched, and he just wanted to talk carefully to this big man. Suddenly, my heart tightened, and a feeling of danger came over my head!

He hurriedly bounced off the ground and stepped out of the temple. He glared back at the woman, and shouted, "Don't come out with me quickly!" ”
