When the master was talking to Qiao Sanye, I quietly looked at Qiao Sanye's face, and Qiao Sanye looked very normal at this time, and his eyes were not empty at all.

Why the appearance of Master and Qiao Sanye changed after entering the alley was indeed an unsolvable mystery to me at that time. Later, Master also told me that the reason why I thought the two of them had strange faces was because the resentment on the ghosts affected my mind.

Once you are disturbed by such resentment, you will look at the people around you, and everyone will look like ghosts.

It was thanks to Master that he brought a mental power into my spiritual platform at that time, severing the connection between me and my resentment, and freed me from my fear.

At this time, I heard Qiao Sanye sigh with emotion: "What is the origin of the surname Zhou, he can't see any cultivation in his body, how can there be such a talisman in his hand?" ”

The master pointed to the courtyard door: "Do you see the talisman on the door, it should be an exorcism talisman made by Jingyi Valley, a talisman like this can only be found in some slightly larger sects." There is also the gossip plate in his hand and the cloud silk robe on his body, these things should not appear in the hands of a Jianghu god stick. ”

Qiao Sanye nodded and said, "You say, who gave these things to him?" ”

"No matter who gave it to him, he will keep a close eye on his whereabouts, and if he sees the wealth and runs away with these things without saying a word, the person who gave him the things will lose a lot."

"I see, the person who picked him up outside the town tonight, the one who has been watching him."

Just at the stall where Qiao Sanye had just finished speaking, my master seemed to suddenly sense something, and was stunned suddenly, and then quickly turned his head and glanced towards the gate of the courtyard, and Qiao Sanye's eyes also glanced over at the same time.

Seeing that both of them were looking there, I also looked over, only to find that the Celestial Master Talisman on the door was gone.

I heard Qiao Sanye ask my master: "Lao Du, have you seen it?" ”

The master shook his head: "I didn't see it clearly, I only saw a shadow." ”

It's a pity that my eyes turned slowly, and I didn't even see the "shadow" that Master said, and when I looked at the courtyard door just now, I could only see the bare door panel.

Third Master Qiao had a suspicious look on his face: "If that thing is an evil thing, why can it remove the Heavenly Master Talisman?" ”

The master frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long time, he didn't respond to Qiao Sanye's question, but just said sullenly: "I'll go home and get something." Then he dragged me out of the yard.

I could feel that Master's mood seemed to be a little heavy, but I didn't know why.

For me as a child, Master himself was a huge mystery, and I thought I would never be able to see through him.

When I got home, Master took out six or seven spiritual runes, a white candle, and two incense sticks from the wooden box, and took out the iron ruler and soft sword I had seen before, wrapped them in a clean yellow cloth and tied them into a baggage, and then took me back to the deep alley.

It wasn't until noon that the hour was approaching that the master beckoned Qiao Sanye and carried the ghost-covered woman into the house along with the iron chair.

When dismantling the chair, Qiao Sanye found that the steel plate had been buried under the bricks used to pave the floor in advance, otherwise the chair legs would not have been welded directly on the brick floor.

But whether it was in the yard or on Zhou Daochang's body, there were no welding tools to be seen.

Listening to what Qiao Sanye meant, the steel plate must have been buried before Zhou Daochang came, and the chair was also welded in advance, and the direction of the chair armrests was also a little strange.

Master seemed to have noticed these details early on, and when Third Master Qiao said it, he didn't show any surprise at all.

Compared with the anomalies in the courtyard, Master was more concerned about the old alley itself.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Sanye had asked people to investigate this alley earlier, because Tufu Ziye, surnamed Lu, lived here, and his home was at the deepest end of the entire alley.

Listening to Qiao Sanye, this alley was originally full of people, until the surnamed Lu brought the hand stove home, and strange things continued to happen in the originally peaceful alley, and most of the residents were frightened, so they had no choice but to move out.

The situation of this woman who was ghosted is more special, two years ago her man died tragically, she couldn't stand the blow, something was wrong with her spirit, and therefore lost a stable source of income, plus there were no relatives willing to help her, one is that there is no money to move out, and the other is that even if you move out, there is no place to take refuge, so you can only continue to stay here.

The strangest thing is that the people in the alley have more or less encountered some strange things, but the one surnamed Lu has a stove hidden at home, but nothing has happened.

Listening to Qiao Sanye's words, the master kept frowning.

Later, the master asked why he didn't see the man surnamed Lu in the alley today.

Qiao Sanye's explanation is that the Lu family and his wife opened a hardware store in the town, which was open until more than six o'clock in the evening, and the one surnamed Lu did not come back until he closed the store, and his son just went to preschool this year, and his wife picked up the child home to cook at half past four.

In the end, Qiao Sanye showed a look of disdain: "His shop, on the surface, is a hardware store, but in fact, it specializes in selling stolen goods." ”

The master casually asked, "His wife was also involved in the tomb robbery?" ”

"Not really, but I figured out that she should know what her husband was doing."

Master nodded and said nothing.

I have a feeling that the master who is talking to the third master of Qiao, the master has been thinking about something constantly, but he has never been a person who will take out all the thoughts in his heart and discuss them with others, as for what he is thinking about, I can't guess what he is thinking.

At noon, when the master closed the courtyard door, and the sun began to set in the west, he opened the door again, and when the sky began to darken faintly, he closed the door again, and this time he deliberately locked the door outside, and went back to the courtyard over the wall.

Looking at Master's actions, I didn't want to be more curious, but before noon, Master told me that no matter what he did next, I couldn't ask more, and said that this was a taboo, what to say, if I asked too much, the more Yang Qi would be dispersed, and if the Yang Qi was dispersed by more than 20%, it would be difficult to do things at night.

So much so that I didn't even dare to open my mouth except for eating at noon and occasionally drinking a few sips of water in the afternoon.

Soon after Master locked the door, the first sound of footsteps came from the alley, and at sunset, when the sky was almost completely dark, there was a second sound of footsteps in the alley.

The footsteps behind it stopped at the gate of the courtyard for a while, but it didn't stay long, and after a while, it faded away.

It wasn't until the second wave of footsteps completely disappeared into the depths of the alley that Master quickly returned to the house.

He first took out a candle from the yellow cloth bag and placed it in the northwest corner of the room, and another person carried the woman sitting on the iron chair to the center of the room, and finally took out the iron ruler and plunged the end of the ruler into the crack in the window.

After cleaning up, Master quickly dragged me back to the courtyard and put a talisman on my forehead.

I really wanted to ask Master why he put this kind of thing on my head to block half of my vision, but when I remembered what Master said earlier, I could only swallow the words that had just come to my mouth back into my stomach.
