The road map in Ah Niu's hand is nothing at a cursory glance, but if you look closely, you can see the cat hidden in this route. Together, there is a picture called the Soul Suppression Diagram.

"What exactly does this Taoist priest want to do?" Mu Xi muttered softly: "He first sent these charms, and then asked this little brother to carry a lantern to attract souls, and now he has this soul suppression map...... Could it be that he is also here for the female ghost in the coffin? ’

"What does that Taoist priest look like?" Xing Ruyi asked Ah Niu.

There was only one Taoist priest she knew, and this one was the person who liked to do this kind of thing the most, so naturally, Xing Ruyi associated all things with him.

"A very ordinary Taoist priest looks like those people in the Taoist temple, nothing unusual." Ah Niu said, roughly describing the facial features of the Taoist priest.

Xing Ruyi and Chang Tai glanced at each other, and each had an answer in their hearts. The Taoist priest that Ah Niu saw should not be unwarranted. But this Yun Jiaji is inextricably linked to nothing, although this Taoist priest is not him, but this whole thing may not have nothing to do with him.

The two exchanged glances, and Chang Tai excused himself to have something to do, and took Ah Niu back to the rouge shop first. As for the soul-attracting lamp, it was left in the post house.

Seeing Chang Tai and Ah Niu leave, Xing Ruyi turned around and faced Mu Xi: "Madame, please make a long story short, how was the female ghost in the bronze mirror released?" Eighty percent of these strange things tonight are related to this female ghost, if we don't know the ins and outs of this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to guess the real thoughts of the Taoist priest. ”

Mu Xi looked at Xing Ruyi, but he didn't speak.

"I wonder if Madame knows something?"

"Girl, please."

"Madame knows the general's temperament, and if there is nothing urgent, he will never leave the barracks. Even if you want to leave, you will bring some relatives with you. Madame and the general have been together for so long, haven't you thought about why the general appeared in the mountain temple that night? How did he get poisonous?

Also, Madame also mentioned it just now, saying that the female ghost had come to the door that night, but Madame did not know the entanglement between the female ghost and the general, so after some fighting, forced her back to the grave. Ruyi wants to ask again, what did Mrs. find out at that time? ”

Mu Xi shook his head suspiciously: "That night, I didn't find anything strange next to the grave. As for why the general appeared in the mountain temple and why he was infected with corpse poison, although I had some doubts in my heart, I didn't take it to heart. When I was a human being, I wasn't the kind of person who would pay attention to everything, and after I became a demon, I didn't love it more and more. Besides, in that situation, I didn't have the heart to think about anything else. ”

"Madame really didn't find out?"

Mu Xi lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "If you say that you didn't find it at all, it's not true." I smelled a faint smell of blood, but it was normal to smell like that in the middle of nowhere, near a cemetery. ”

"Madame, your heart is so big! The reason why the general appeared in the mountain temple was because he was calculated, and this calculation was not someone else, but his personal followers at that time. The general was lucky, and only half of his nails were cut off by the female ghost in the coffin, but those who plotted to kill the general died on the spot. The murderer is the female ghost in the coffin.

Supposedly, Madame should have been able to see their bodies when she arrived, but Madame said just now, there is nothing strange about the grave. This shows that there are still people there who dealt with the scene in a timely manner after the incident happened. Even the female ghost in the coffin didn't necessarily crawl out on her own and find the mountain temple.

And one last point, Ruyi estimated that the general had never mentioned it to you, Madame. The reason why the general took his relatives to the tomb was not to look at the people in the tomb. To put it bluntly, even the general himself didn't know that it was his ex-fiancée when he was attacked by a female ghost. ”

"I thought the general was ......" Mu Xi was slightly stunned: "Afterwards, when I knew that the female ghost I sealed in the bronze mirror was the general's fiancée who had been assigned to marry since he was a child, I also had doubts. I thought it was the general's affection and went to visit. The reason why I didn't ask him was because of this face of mine. But now, listening to what you said, girl, Mu Xi didn't understand, since when the general went, he didn't know who was in the coffin, why did he take his relatives to that kind of place thousands of miles away? ”

"That's because someone pretended to be a military doctor and lied that there was a ghost mulberry in the grave, which could give birth to a ghost silkworm, and this ghost silkworm was a miracle medicine for tetanus."

"Mu Xi doesn't understand medical science."

"Madame doesn't understand, but she should be." Xing Ruyi said, and took out a piece of brocade from his sleeve: "What is recorded on this brocade is a prescription, and this prescription was passed to the general by someone at that time under the pretense of a military doctor, and it was also said to Ruyi by the general himself today. Madame, would you like to see for yourself? ”

"No need, Mu Xi doesn't understand medical science, even if he reads this recipe, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the strangeness in it. If the Ruyi girl has something to say, she might as well say it directly, and Mu Xi listens to it. ”

The name of this recipe is Silkworm Zombie, taken from the "Mystery of the Cave Heaven", and its main ingredients are ginseng, astragalus, angelica, magnolia, bellflower, angelica and zombie silkworm. It is mainly used to treat scrofula and the disease of not closing the mouth for a long time. As for this scrofula, it is also called 'scrofula neck' or 'rat sore' in folklore, and Chinese medicine calls it "scrofula", but in my case it also has a more special, but easy-to-remember name, called cervical lymph node tuberculosis. This disease, first seen in the "Yellow Emperor Neijing" Lingshu cold and heat chapter, its symptoms are characterized by: the beginning of such a bean, do not feel pain, gradually increase, accumulate like beads, when the skin color turns dark red, after the ulceration of the pus is thin, often one side is broken, forming a sinus tract, like a mouse hole. Because the treatment of this disease is quite difficult, there is also a saying among the folk that 'nine deaths out of ten'. Ruyi said this, did Mrs. also hear something? ”

"This disease is terrible, but in the army, Mu Xi has not found anyone with a similar disease."

Xing Ruyi nodded: "This is the crux of the matter. The prescription that the man showed the general, although the zombie silkworm in it was replaced by a ghost silkworm, its medicinal effect and pharmacology should not have changed much. To put it bluntly, this medicine is not for tetanus, but for scrofula. The answer to why did the man present this prescription to the general and make up a lie about the so-called ghost mulberry and ghost silkworm, because the general, like your wife, is not proficient in medical science, and even if the prescription is handed to the general, the general will not be able to see why. As for the purpose, it is nothing more than to use the wind in the army to wreak havoc, put pressure on the general openly and covertly, and lead him to the grave. As for the people behind the scenes, there are those in the army who hate the general, and the family members of the entourage who took the name of the general and seduced the general's fiancée but were killed may also participate.

Madame said that she had witnessed how the family of the attendant had tortured and killed the fiancée. Such a thing will not be publicized by the family members of the retinue, and the place where the coffin is buried is best known only to the family members of the entourage. If there was no certain involvement between the two, how could the general have accurately strayed into the trap of these people. ”

"The antecedents, although Mu Xi is not clear, but the result, Mu Xi can see clearly. Ruyi girl, what you just said, Mu Xi had also vaguely heard some of them when he listened to those people's secret conversations. It's just that those people are already dead, and what the truth is, I'm afraid it's hard for us to know. Mu Xi doesn't understand, girl, what's the point of you choosing to talk to Mu Xi about this at this time? ”

"Madame, don't you still understand? It is not surprising that the military doctor in the army knows the method of silkworm stiffness, and it is not difficult for us to understand that some people in the army are jealous of the general's desire to murder him, but there is one point, who proposed the method of abusing and killing the general's ex-fiancée? Ordinary people are afraid that they will not know this kind of vicious method. Also, whether it is a prince or a general, or an ordinary person, if his relatives are forced to enter the ground, they will not easily break the ground and open the coffin. Not to mention repeatedly asking people to open the grave of their own son. Why would the family of this entourage agree to the other party's action? How did they know that they could use this tortured person to poison the general's body and die? If you just want the general to die, there are many ways, isn't it? ”

"How can we guess what this evil man thinks. Perhaps, they just don't want the general to die comfortably, and they want to watch him suffer all the suffering and torture in the world. Mu Xi sighed lightly, turned his face away, and said faintly: "The meaning of Miss Ruyi's words, Mu Xi heard it later." The girl means that the person who is planning behind the scenes is very likely to be this Taoist priest. But what is his purpose? ”

Ruyi couldn't understand that if he was the one who killed the general in the first place, then today, why did he send this exorcism charm? If it weren't for him, why did he tempt Ah Niu to bring this soul-attracting lamp to the post house. If he did both of these things, wouldn't it be a contradiction. It was precisely because Ruyi couldn't figure it out that he wanted to know the cause and effect of this whole incident, especially the female ghost in the bronze mirror, why it was released. Since Miss Muxi is the one who sealed the female ghost, her skills are naturally not shallow, and she will never release it to cause trouble for herself, right? ”

"It was an accident!" Mu Xi turned around and bit his lip hard: "If Mu Xi told the girl that when the bronze mirror was thrown, Mu Xi didn't know that the seal had been broken, and the girl could be trusted?" ”

"Lost?" Xing Ruyi pondered this word: "If Mrs. is honest, Ruyi will believe every word Mrs. says." ”
