Chapter Twenty-Five: Resentment

His voice trembled a little: "I... Honestly, you say ......"

I nodded: "Let me ask you, you said that the goddess told you that the death of Zhang Gua was done by evil spirits, who is this goddess?"

He said: "He is a half-fairy in the village, proficient in fortune-telling...... often help others solve the troubles of the Yin and Yang Dao. ”

After asking the question, I went straight to the point and said, "If I can prove that Li Xue is not the murderer of Zhang Gua's wife, can you make everyone stop troublesome with her in the future?"

"It's natural, if she wasn't the murderer, of course we wouldn't be in trouble with her," he said.

I said, "Can you guarantee that she won't be harassed in the process of my proof?"

Of course, he also agreed to this request, and now that the axe is on his neck, he is naturally negotiable about everything, and once the axe is taken down, I dare not say anything.

"I'm thirsty, ask your son to pour me a cup of tea!" The weak boy had a face similar to that of the village chief, so I deduced that he was his son.

He shouted into the room, "Benqiang, pour a cup of tea and come out."

After a while, the young man who looked weak came out with a cup of tea, and he was indeed his son.

When he saw me, he was startled, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the teacup fell to the ground.

Afraid of him shouting, I let go of the village chief and put the axe around his neck.

The village chief's nose was crooked: "You...... Don't hurt him......"

I said, "You agreed to the agreement we just made, but I can't trust you, so I need a guarantee." When I proved that Li Xue was not the murderer, I let him go. If you behave well, I will naturally treat him well, and if you go back on your word, then you can do it yourself. ”

So saying, he took his son out. He wasn't talking either, after all, the axe was on his son's neck, and he didn't dare to be angry.

I handed Ben Qiang to the fat man and told him that if those people came to harass him again, he would use Ben Qiang as a shield.

To prove that Xue'er was wronged, you have to come up with enough evidence, and this evidence has to start with Widow Zhang.

Zhang Gua's husband died early, and after her husband died, she did not remarry, and the two did not leave a man and a woman.

Her body was not placed, but the villagers happened to buy her a coffin, which is currently being placed in Yizhuang.

I want to see the body of Zhang Gua's wife, maybe I can find some clues or something.

But the lid of Zhang Gua's coffin is like a lock, and it can't be opened, which is a manifestation of excessive resentment, indicating that her death is not as simple as it seems.

There was incense in the village, I took three sticks, put them on the ground and lit them, and bowed to the coffin: "I know you have hatred in your heart, your hatred, I will help you eliminate it."

After the incense burned out, the coffin lid was easily opened.

Zhang Gua was wearing a new dress and her face was covered with makeup. There was a bruise on the neck - a bruise that the average person could not see.

It shows that she was strangled to death by evil spirits.

I can't help but wonder if evil murder usually ends a person's life without realizing it. Therefore, only the soul of the deceased will carry resentment, and there will be no resentment on the corpse.

If there is resentment on the corpse, it means that the deceased died with hatred in his heart - hatred for the person who killed her.

Therefore, I suspect that her death was a murder.

It is likely that the murderer knew how to indulge in ghosts, or had the ability to connect with evil spirits.

The method of agitating ghosts belongs to evil arts, and it is an evil art that only evil organizations like the Sorrow Elimination Society can practice.

Isn't it a member of the Sorrow Society? It's also possible that we were brought here by the green stone from Zhang's beard shop. Kang Zhan was also present at the time, and it is very likely that he also came here, and Kang Zhan is the person from the Sorrow Society.

Even if that's the case, he's alone, I'm still afraid that he won't make it?

If not, it is difficult to guarantee that there are some cultivators in this village who know how to deal with ghosts.

Or if you have yin and yang eyes, you can also buy ghosts to harm people, after all, there is a saying that "money can make ghosts grind." ”

Now there are only two ways to prove that Cher is not a murderer.

First, catch the real murderer.

Second, find the unjust soul of Zhang Gua's wife, if she can cooperate, I have a way to let people who don't have yin and yang eyes see her.

The first option is obviously not preferable, after all, the scope of the murderer is too large.

Now there is only a second way.

Zhang Gua died unjustly, and her resentment gathered in her body, and she was likely to become a zombie, but now her body cannot be destroyed.

Before I came, Xiaoyun and the fat man gave me some silver. I found someone to draw a portrait of a gua woman, and I went to buy some cinnabar.

Cinnabar is a traditional Chinese medicine that can be purchased in general pharmacies.

Brushes and rune paper can also be bought in the village.

In the evening, I drew some talismans and asked Cher to borrow a few ghosts.

First go to Yizhuang to use the corpse charm to suppress the corpse of Zhang Gua's woman and prevent the corpse from changing.

Tell the ghosts to remember the appearance of Zhang Gua's wife, and agree on a meeting place, and then we will search the whole village.

Although the village is relatively large, there is enough time to explore it in one night.

On the way, you can often meet some wandering ghosts, and with the help of Rose, you can ask them for some news.

Rose and I walked around the village and found nothing.

It's almost dawn, and the ghosts won't come out after dawn. Rose and I arrived at the rendezvous point we had agreed with a few imps.

Those little imps haven't come back yet, and I secretly sigh that those little ghosts are really capable.

The sun was rising, and the roses hid in the ghost seal. The imps were still nowhere to be found.

Did you go back first? These little ghosts are too much of a thing, and they won't say a word when they go back.

I had to go back to Cher's house on my own.

Cher hadn't fallen asleep yet, and I told her about last night, including a few imps and other things.

When Xue'er heard this, she was surprised and said, "They didn't come back."

I was a little incredulous: "What? Could it be that they ran out to play? ”

"No way," said Cher, "since I met them, they have never gone a day without coming home." Besides, it's dawn, where can they go? ”

My heart tightened, could it be that they were killed?

Xue'er was so anxious that she went out to shout the names of those ghosts for a long time, and finally came back disappointed.

She was tearful and depressed, as if she had lost a loved one.

I felt guilty, and I was all to blame: "I'm sorry ......"

She said, "I don't blame you......" and cried after saying that.

I didn't know what to say, so I had to let Xiaoyun comfort her.

I crouched in the corner, pondering. Were these imps really killed? Or was someone arrested?

They disappeared while inquiring about the whereabouts of Zhang Gua's wife, could their disappearance be related to the person who murdered Zhang Gua's wife?

I must find out about this matter!
