However, this year did not go smoothly, on the third day of the first month, Uncle Qingcang suddenly said something to me, and asked me if I wanted to do him a favor.

It turns out that Uncle Qingcang has now quit the exorcist business, so it is not very convenient for him to go out to do some things, and his apprentice, who is my senior brother Dashan, has returned to his hometown for the New Year and has not returned, so he found me.

Originally, I didn't have any confidence in myself, but I didn't expect Su Che to agree, and said that this was a test for me, so I also wanted me to take this task.

Lin Yue's attitude towards this matter was very happy, because as a trainee exorcist, she rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with demons and monsters, and the female ghost she met in the temple last time was the first, and this time there was another mission that made her excited.

I didn't feel any uneasiness, since Uncle and Su Che both wanted me to accept the task, let's give it a try, and by the way, I would like to test the results of my cultivation for a while.

When I nodded and agreed, Uncle Qingcang told me what happened to me, it turned out that this incident happened yesterday, an old man died in the village next door, and the death of the family naturally made the family's mood very sad, and caught up with the New Year, who can still have a good mood?

But just last night, something happened, the old man's son was supposed to keep a watch in front of the body, because he was in a bad mood, he drank a lot of wine, and in a daze, he seemed to hear something, so he looked up from the table, but saw a scene that made him creepy.

Originally, according to folk customs, you can't sleep during the wake, and the biggest taboo is to pay attention to prevent cats from breaking into the mourning hall with their own homes or other people's homes.

Because according to legend, if a cat, especially a black cat, crosses over the corpse of the deceased, it will cause the corpse to be defrauded.

The so-called corpse fraud means that the corpse will suddenly sit up, and even move, as if it has come back to life, and whoever encounters this kind of thing will be scared half to death, right?

But when the old man's son opened his eyes, he happened to see a black cat, and when he saw that someone had noticed him, he even grinned, as if he were smiling.

The old man's son was frightened, and when it was too late to drive away the black cat, he jumped lightly and crossed over the old man's corpse.

The old man's son almost sat on the ground, because he found that the legend was true, and the old man's body actually sat up from the coffin, because the body was already stiff, and when he sat up, the joints of his body made a goosebump crunch.

The old man's son let out a terrible scream, and ran out of the mourning hall with a crawl, and came to the courtyard with a loud shout, and woke up all the family members who had fallen asleep.

When everyone came to the courtyard and listened to the old man's son gasping intermittently and finishing the story, they all thought that he had drunk too much and was hallucinating, but after coming to the mourning hall to take a look, everyone was dumbfounded.

The body of the old man who was supposed to sit in the coffin was gone, and even the black cat was gone, but the mourning hall was remodeled from a wing room, and the windows were stamped with plastic sheeting because of winter, and there were always people at the door, and no one knew how the old man's body disappeared.

All the people were frightened, and finally stabilized their mood, and after they discussed it, no one had the courage to sleep again, so they quickly sent a few people to find Uncle Qingcang.

This is what happened at three or four o'clock in the morning last night, when I was already sleeping very soundly, so I didn't hear anyone knocking on the door to look for him, Uncle Qingcang asked them to understand the situation and told them not to be nervous, since the body is gone, he will naturally not come back, and he will help find a way after dawn.

Lin Yue and I were stunned after listening to Uncle Qingcang's narration, we thought it was a ghost hunting mission, but we didn't expect it to be looking for a corpse.

I looked at Su Che and then at Uncle Qingcang, and asked them how I should start, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled at me, and actually said that you can do it yourself.

I was speechless for a moment, seeing that they seemed to be pranks, I couldn't help but pout: "Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?" ”

Uncle Qingcang hurriedly explained to me that of course they were not embarrassed by me, but this kind of almost difficult task was just suitable for me to practice, and they all wanted to see if I was able to complete it independently.

Lin Yue was stunned when he heard this: "What? I don't have my share in this task, huh? ”

Uncle Qingcang smiled: "If you don't let you go with you, you girl won't have to fry the pot?" But this time, you can only help Jiang Cha as an assistant, and you have to leave the ideas and solutions to Jiang Cha, can you do it? ”

Lin Yue nodded hurriedly, it would be fine if she could participate, she also understood that Uncle Qingcang and Su Che wanted to exercise my hard work, so she didn't mess around anymore.

So after breakfast, Lin Yue and I went out together and walked to the next village.

The two villages are not very far away, we arrived at the place in more than ten minutes, the family of the accident is also easy to find, there are some wreaths sent by relatives and friends at the door, and there are many people standing in the yard, we can easily find it.

After entering the courtyard, Lin Yue looked at me and didn't speak, so I had to ask, "Excuse me, who is the owner of this house?" ”

There were men, women and children in the courtyard, and a middle-aged man with a white cloth on his head and a black mole on the corner of his mouth looked at us and thought it was a little strange, nodded and said that he was.

I told him that I was sent by Uncle Qingcang to help, everyone looked surprised, and the middle-aged man looked helpless and said in front of me, "Master Qingcang, what's wrong?" If you don't want to help, you don't care, you actually sent two little girls over, isn't this fooling me. ”

I have already guessed that the other party may have such a reaction, don't you know what the image of myself and Lin Yue looks like? A childish little girl, who is changing it, will feel that something is wrong, right?

So I didn't think it at all, just smiled and told them that if they didn't have confidence in me, they could do it themselves, if they had other options.

Those people have long been gone, can they ask the police to help with this kind of thing? The police still have to believe what they say, and besides, these people have a lot of respect and fear for ghosts and gods in their bones, and they don't dare to mess around.

So when I said this, the middle-aged man had no choice but to nod and ask me how I wanted to help.

I smiled slightly, glanced at Lin Yue and said, "Don't gather here, go home early if you're fine, because I want to cast spells in the mourning hall, and I don't want to be disturbed." ”

Everyone looked at each other after seeing my serious appearance, but they couldn't help but listen, so they had to go home, and suddenly there were only three people left in the courtyard.

The middle-aged man's name is Li Er, and the other two people are his wife and his son Li Qiang.

I shook my head and told them that as long as they were not allowed to enter the mourning hall in the courtyard, I didn't tell them not to disturb me, and then took Lin Yue's hand and went into the house.

Lin Yue followed me in, watched me close the door, and then asked me in a low voice, "Do you already have a way?"

I smiled wryly and shook my head: "I've thought about it all the way, but there's no way to do it." ”

Lin Yue opened his mouth wide, and said that I am getting bolder and bolder, and I don't even have any way to look confident.

I ignored her and walked around the mourning hall, carefully observing the surroundings for some useful clues.

But I didn't find anything unusual, I frowned and thought about it, the cause of the incident was the black cat, according to what Li Er had told Uncle Qingcang before, this black cat was raised at home, and it was originally locked up in another room that night in order to prevent it from coming to the mourning hall to cause trouble, so how did it get in?

I squatted down and looked along the wall into a few corners, and then my eyes lit up and said to Lin Yue: "Yue Yue, come and see here." ”

Lin Yue came over and took a look: "A hole, what's so nice about this?" ”

"This might be the key point, you go out and see what's behind this wall." I said to Lin Yue.

She scratched her head, and although she understood what I was thinking, she went out with some confusion, and after a while she came back to me and said, "Behind is the wall of the neighbor's house, and a small alley is formed between this house, but it is very clean inside, and there is nothing." ”

I frowned and thought for a moment, then looked carefully inside the coffin, and found a few paw prints that were not very clear in what should have been the head of the corpse, as well as a few hairs that were obviously not human hair, and my eyes lit up.

"It's not the corpse that's at fault, it's the black cat." I spoke.

Lin Yue looked at me curiously: "Why do you say that?" ”

I smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, this black cat should have some spirituality, and it has a very good relationship with the old man who passed away, maybe the old man raised it from childhood to adulthood." ”

Lin Yue still didn't understand, and I didn't explain too much, and after stepping out of the door, he said to Li Er: "Uncle Li, if you want to find the old man's body, can you answer me a few questions?" ”

Li Er's mood is very complicated now, the old man died at this time, he was already very uncomfortable, and now that the corpse is gone, it is inevitable that people will talk about it behind his back, and now he can only pin his hope on me, so he nodded and agreed.

I asked him, "To tell you the truth, was the old man's relationship with your family not very good when he was alive?" ”

Li Er's face suddenly changed color, and he snorted, "This, how do you know?" ”
