The old man continued to whistle in black, and with a strange sound, seven or eight fire unicorns twisted their bodies and leaned towards us rhythmically.

Maybe it's because I'm afraid of bugs by nature, and when I see these guys flashing red eyes and spitting out letters from time to time, my heart is furious. Lao Huang gently pulled me and whispered in my ear, "Don't be afraid."

Don't be afraid? I'll go! What is this old man doing!!

The old man flashed to the side with a sinister smile, as if waiting to see how his "pet" would tear and eat us.

The salamanders were getting closer, and we were less than five meters away, and I could even smell the fishy stench on them.

At this time, I saw Lao Huang reach out and take it out of his bag for a while, then stretched out his hand suddenly, and raised it in the air, and suddenly the white powder overflowed in the air, and at the same time, there was a pungent and spicy smell.

Seven or eight salamanders seemed to be frightened, and they fled in all directions, and their mouths made bursts of sounds similar to those of children's cries.

"What a surprise! Run—"

After that, the old yellow arrow rushed to the gate of the courtyard, not like an old man in his old age at all.

I relented and followed.

After the two of them rushed out of the yard, there was a burst of wolves, and they only ran out of breath.

We were not familiar with the village, so we could say that we were in a hurry, and finally stopped by a few tall willow trees.

"Division...... Uncle Shi, how could there be seven or eight of them just now...... A salamander that big? Is it really raised by that old man? ”

Lao Huang gasped and nodded: "We don't have this kind of cold-blooded animal in our area, if it wasn't raised, it could have fallen from the sky?" ”

"My mother-in-law, fourth uncle! Why is he raising this thing......"

Lao Huang snorted coldly: "Salamanders are cold-blooded animals, for Gu raisers, it is too normal to raise a few salamanders, I don't worry about this......"

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly asked, "Then what are you worried about?" ”

After two breaths, he added, "I'm worried about what's in the cage in that room!" ”

Cage? When I thought of the scene I had just experienced when I climbed into the hut, the back of my neck was cold, those insects should be Gu worms, but why do you raise so many Gu worms?

"Uncle Shi, that foot ......"

"I'm worried that it's a Gu person—a Gu person who hasn't been cultivated."

The two of them gasped and rested under the big willow tree for a while, then judged the location at this time, and walked in the direction of Xiaobei's house.

From a distance, I saw that the spiritual shed outside the gate of Xiaobei's house was still there, and there were two children in their early teens sitting inside, and Secretary Wang Jiliang was also squatting aside, saying something to the two young men.

Light bulbs were also hung inside the gate, and Director Zheng, Captain Han, and Captain Lu were sitting around a small wooden table and smoking.

Wang Jiliang saw us first, and hurriedly got up to greet us: "Director Zheng! The road in the village is not easy to walk...... Where have you been......"

"Just walk around – yes! Secretary Wang, just now my nephew and I met an old man, and his family ...... The family lives in the southwesternmost part of the village...... Very shabby house......"

Without waiting for Lao Huang to finish speaking, Director Wang said "Ao": "Is it him?" He...... He is one of the three monsters in our village, and his temper is stinky, and the neighbors rarely have contact with him. ”

"Is he raising Gu?"

Lao Huang's voice raised and asked directly.

"Raising Gu? What is Gu raising? ”

Secretary Wang asked with a blank face.

"Gu cultivation is ...... Well...... Does his house have a lot of strange-shaped insects and strange little animals......"

"Oh-yes! Right! The blind man likes to raise messy bugs the most, so the neighbors never go to his house......"

Lao Huang asked again: "Do you know when he started raising these insects?" ”

Wang Jiliang scratched the back of his head and thought for more than ten seconds: "As far as I know, it's probably been more than two years!" ”

"That'...... Do you know why he suddenly raised worms? ”

"Like...... It seems to have something to do with an old beggar who came to the village two years ago......"

Old beggar? I can't imagine that picture, what kind of beggar will teach a blind man to raise Gu?

Lao Huang also seemed to hear that something was wrong, frowned, and asked, "Old beggar?" What kind of old beggar is he now? ”

Wang Jiliang shook his head: "Two years ago, he wandered to our village, lived in Hu Blind's house for a period of time and then left, and stayed for only a month in total. ”

"Oh—can you describe what this beggar looks like?"

"Very sloppy, wearing a dirty and unsightly long gown, with a pitted face...... I can't even tell if it's a man or a woman......"

"And does he have any distinguishing features?"

"Distinguishing features? That's right! Speaking of a strange language, it seems to ...... It seems to be a minority ...... Like a bird...... They didn't understand it at all—but the blind man seemed to understand......"

Lao Huang frowned again and replied, "Except for the blind man, you don't understand?" It seems that this blind man is not ordinary, intellectual! ”

Wang Jiliang smiled: "What an intellectual, after studying private cooking for two years, how can he have the money to go to school for three generations of poor peasants in his family!" It was only when he was young that he was a soldier that he learned the 'bird language' of this ethnic minority. ”

"Oh? So where did he become a soldier? ”

"I remember it was in the mountains of Guizhou, but I don't know exactly where it was - how did he ...... Could the blind man have something to do with this case? ”

Lao Huang shook his head slightly: "Whether it's closed or not, I don't know - let's talk about this later!" ”

Hearing our conversation, Director Zheng and Captain Han hurriedly walked out of the courtyard.

"Master Huang, have you found anything?"

Director Zheng asked.

"I have found some discoveries, I think the death of the two children has something to do with witchcraft! In other words, it is likely that the person who killed them was someone who knew Gu magic! ”

Director Zheng asked again: "Is there a specific object of suspicion?" ”

"Not yet!"

I originally thought that Lao Huang would nod and say yes, but I didn't expect him to shake his head and deny it.

I didn't want to listen to their conversation, but when I turned my head, I saw two half-grown teenagers sitting in the mourning shed, and they were also looking at me with terrified eyes.

I know that this is a local custom, which is similar to our Kofun village, where in the first three days after the death of a man, the village steward would find two or three of the deceased's peers to keep a vigil for him, and if the deceased was a minor, he only had to keep a vigil for one night.

I looked at the black coffin.

At this glance, my scalp exploded instantly......

I saw that the lid of the coffin was open, and a gap of more than ten centimeters was pulled.

"Coffin—look at the coffin!"

In a panic, I pointed to Xiaobei's coffin and shouted tremblingly.

The reason why I was so flustered was because I knew that according to local customs, after the dead entered the museum, the gaps around the coffin had to be pasted with yellow paper, and they could not be reopened until they were sent to the funeral home crematorium.

In other words, in any case, the coffin containing the dead must not be opened until the deceased has been sent to the crematorium.

Several people quickly stopped the conversation, turned around and walked into the spirit shed.

"Oh my God! How to open the lid of the coffin! Who...... Who did this to you? I didn't pay attention to ...... just now."

Wang Jiliang pointed to the huge gap in the coffin and rebuked angrily.

The two children suddenly showed a panicked expression on their faces, and their eyes blinked at Wang Jiliang's face, obviously very nervous and scared.

He asked several times before one of the children with dark spots replied, "We...... We don't know, just ...... I went out once and came back...... That's it for the coffin when I come back......"

Wang Jiliang called the old man in charge of the burial in the village, and several people helped him lift the coffin board, which made everyone tremble, and as expected, there was no Xiaobei's body in the coffin.

"Where's Xiaobei?"

The child's parents heard the shouting and rushed out.

In the middle of the night on the third watch of the same day, the whole village exploded, many villagers were so frightened that they closed the door, but they did not dare to sleep, and a terrible rumor quickly spread, that is, Xiaobei's body was missing, and he cheated the corpse......

That night, all the police, including Director Zheng, searched all night, but still did not find Xiaobei's body.

When it was slightly bright, Director Zheng called several policemen to the side.

"Xiao Han, have you carefully asked Xiaobei's parents, relatives, friends and neighbors?"

"Well, I asked, but I didn't pay attention to how Xiaobei's body disappeared - during that time, there were only two children who kept the spirit for more than an hour, and they were not there, and the two children also admitted that they had been away for more than ten minutes during this time......"

Director Zheng nodded.

"Huh? Master Huang, can you find Xiaobei with a spell? ”

Old Uncle Huang glanced at Director Zheng and replied slowly: "We are people in the Dao Sect, we can only use Taoism, not spells—but we can give it a try......

Captain Lu on the side was anxious, and when he heard Lao Huang say, 'You can try', he was a little annoyed:

"Why don't you say it sooner, we have to jump all night......"

Lao Huang was not angry, and smiled: "The so-called Dao technique is not what you imagined, you can't use it casually!" As he spoke, I took out the compass.

"Little evil, I'll give you the opportunity to show your face this time!"

"Let me? But ......"

"What's the ...... If the child is a corpse fraud, no matter what the reason is, you will definitely be able to find it with the method I taught you before. ”

I nodded, and busily recited the mantra, reciting it several times in a row, and before I could open my eyes, I heard Director Zheng "Huh".

"It's moving! It's moving! ”

Then came Captain Lu's voice.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the silver needles on the compass trembling violently, slowly pointing southwest.

Southwest? Could it be that Xiaobei went there!

I just wondered, but Old Uncle Huang's face changed.

"What's the matter, uncle?" I hurriedly asked.

"Have you forgotten what we went through?" As he spoke, he pointed to the southwest.

It dawned on me, yes! We came out of the blind man's house over there before, could it be that Xiaobei also went to the blind man's house?

Lao Huang frowned, as if he was very preoccupied.

Director Zheng couldn't bear it anymore: "Master Huang, since you know where the body is, why don't you look for it?" ”

Lao Huang snorted coldly: "Looking for? What if you find it? You can't get him back at the moment!"

"Huh? Why! ”

Captain Lu hurriedly asked.

"Because of the master who called Xiaobei's corpse, you and I can't afford to mess with it!"

"What then? We can't just stand here, can we? He turned to Director Zheng and said, "Zheng Suo, if it doesn't work, let's mobilize more brothers, and then bring the guys, I don't believe in evil!" ”

Director Zheng smiled awkwardly, patted Captain Lu's shoulder and said, "Xiao Lu! You've only been a captain for a short time, and you've just been transferred, so there's something you don't know yet...... The so-called one thing descends one thing, sometimes we wear uniforms and hold pistols, but we can't do it - let's listen to Master Huang about this! ”

When the leader speaks, the subordinates have to listen.

I could tell that Captain Lu was not convinced.

"Master Huang, what do you say we should do about this?" Director Zheng turned around and asked Lao Huang again.

Lao Huang coughed lightly twice, and said slowly: "I won't tell you, just now our grandfather went to that place, which was the Hu blind man's house that Secretary Wang said - this Hu blind man is not simple!" He actually raised Gu people, and he was still cultivating Gu people! We have to think about this in the long run! ”

"Hmmm! We can do whatever you want, and it's up to you! ”

From Director Zheng's tone, I seemed to guess that the police station must have experienced similar terrible things before, maybe it was the same thing as the old Uncle Huang who saved Director Feng.

Lao Huang frowned, and was silent for half a minute before he slowly spoke: "Now that the sky is bright, no Gu or ghost will come out to make trouble, I will prepare some things first, and wait until it gets dark to ......."

According to the local funeral customs, Xiaobei's body will be cremated at dawn today, and the whole village will be blown up.

Soon, the director of the Xinhu Township Police Station rushed over with several policemen.

"Oops! Is...... Is...... Why did Director Zheng and the two captains come to our hometown, I ...... I'm remiss in my duty! ”

"You're welcome, we're also on business, and I didn't want to inform you, but now things have changed, and you're just in time!" Director Zheng replied tepidly.

"Oh! Profound! If there is anything, Zheng Suo can just do what he asks. ”

At that time, I was still very strange, I was also the director, why did the short and fat director of this township bow his head and bow his waist when he saw Director Zheng!

Later, I figured out that although they are all called "director", the official position of this "director" is different.

Director Zheng belongs to the director of the city-level police station, and he is at the same level, even Captain Lu and Captain Han are both at the department level, and the director of a township police station is only at the deputy section level, and the two captains are half a level higher than him.

Director Zheng asked the short and fat director to transfer more than a dozen policemen and scattered them in the village to ensure the safety of the people, and I don't know the specific deployment.

That morning, Captain Han accompanied me and Lao Huang to the town's farmers' market, and several people were not sleepy all night, and their eyes were black like pandas.

"Master Huang, what are you doing at the farmer's market?" Captain Han asked suspiciously.

"Didn't your director say it! Everything in the world is one thing and one thing, and the Gu worm is powerful, but there is always something to restrain it, but the time is limited, so I can only temporarily find some defective products to top it...... It shouldn't be a big problem! ”

"What's that? Aren't Gu worms very powerful! What can you have at a farmer's market! ”

"You don't understand this, do you? The general Gu worms are afraid of salt, and they are even more afraid of sheep blood, especially the blood of lactating ewes! ”

Yes!

As soon as these words came out, I, Captain Han, and Xiaohu all exclaimed in surprise.

"Uncle Shi, Gu worms are afraid of salt, you said before - why are you still afraid of sheep blood, especially ewe blood?"

Uncle Shi snorted coldly: "Because of the hernia!" ”
