Chapter Twenty-Six: The Lost Body

My sense of direction is messed up again, and I can't find Widow Zhang's ghost after searching all night, is it because I am hiding?

She died of murder, and the unjust soul would have gone to the murderer for revenge. But there was no movement in the village, unless she couldn't kill the enemy, and her own existential crisis would be hidden.

The resentment on her corpse is so heavy, the resentment of her soul must be as good as that, and the person she can't kill is either a master of exorcism, or there is a master of exorcism behind her.

There is also the possibility that someone has been arrested.

Who would catch a ghost? Only an organization like the Sorrow Society will catch some valuable ghosts to use.

Or maybe the murderer did it to destroy the evidence.

The above reasoning can lead to a conclusion, that is, the murderer is related to the cultivators.

In the case of murder, the murderer may be a psychopath, may have had a conflict with the deceased, have a conflict of interest, or may have a grudge against the deceased.

Thinking of this, I had a direction again, I didn't care about sleeping, I dressed up in disguise, and asked all the way to Widow Zhang's house.

Some of the women around were still discussing her business.

I hid and eavesdropped for a long time, and learned that Zhang Gua was an honest woman who liked to concede three points in everything.

After her husband died, she did not work, but kept his spiritual throne every day, and lived on the money left by him.

With whom can such a person have an enmity and with whom can he have a conflict of interest?

I checked with people in the neighborhood again, and there was no mental illness in the village at all.

Having ruled out a few starting points, now we can only start with the cultivators. Turning back to Xiaoyun's house, I asked Xiaoyun to help find out what kind of cultivators in the village were.

This is to help Xue'er, and Xiaoyun is of course obliged.

I didn't sleep all night, I was sleepy, and I went to bed after washing.

It was just getting dark, and I was sleeping soundly, when Xiaoyun hurriedly ran in and said to me, "Widow Zhang's body is missing!"

I sat up abruptly, and suddenly I didn't feel sleepy. Put on your clothes and run to Yizhuang.

There were a few people guarding the gate of Yizhuang, and the village chief paced around the house.

The gatekeeper didn't let me in, but when the village chief saw that it was me, he ordered them to let me go.

Widow Zhang's body is really gone, there are only a few hairs left in the coffin, and the corpse was suppressed by me with a yellow charm, and it is impossible for a corpse to change.

Unless someone takes the talisman off, if that's the case, the consequences are unimaginable.

There is also a possibility that someone stole it. Whose taste is so heavy, it's not good to steal a corpse.

The caretaker of Yizhuang is an old man, one day hanging, the last time I came in from the gate openly, he didn't notice me, even if someone came to steal the body, it is estimated that he didn't know. So I didn't even bother to ask him if he had seen anything suspicious.

To be careful, I asked the village chief to inform everyone not to go out at night and to buy some glutinous rice to sprinkle at the door.

The village chief's son is in my hands, and he has to do whatever I say.

I took out the hair from the coffin, wrapped it in paper and put it in my pocket, and folded it back to Xiaoyun's house.

Xiaoyun told me that the only person in the village who cultivates the Tao is the goddess.

It's this goddess again.

After asking for the address, I went to the god's house. First of all, I have to figure it out, if she is really a cultivator, then I can investigate deeply, if it is just a magic stick, then I don't need to investigate.

The goddess's house lives on the edge of the village, and there is a gossip mirror hanging above the gate of the house, and when I look closely, the mirror is a real thing.

The door of the house of the goddess is hidden. Pushing the door in, her yard was much smaller than the village chief's house, and there was nothing in it.

There are two small gossip mirrors above the door of the house, and on both sides of the door, yellow charms are pasted.

I knocked on the door, and an old, hoarse voice came, "Come in."

The house is dedicated to various gods, and there is a bed by the wall, and an elderly grandmother sits in the center of the bed.

She slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Young man, what are you looking for me?"

I said, "Lately, I seem to have messed with something unclean......," and I made up a story, pretending to show her the ghost marks on my arm as I told it.

But the ghost mark didn't catch her attention, she said that I was haunted by a hanged ghost, and said the same thing.

I tried it a few more times, and found that she was not a goddess at all, but a complete god.

I left disappointed.

Halfway through, I suddenly realized that something was wrong. The village chief said that the goddess often helps others solve some troubles on the Yin and Yang Dao.

There are many ghosts in the village, so it is normal for people in the village to encounter some supernatural events.

If she didn't have any real skills, how could she be asked for help often?

Could it be that the village chief is lying? No, I was holding an axe to his neck!

There is one more strange thing - the household items in her house are all real materials, and the yellow talisman posted at the door is even more masterful.

If she's really a god, how do you explain these things? If she was really a god, how would she know that Widow Zhang was victimized by evil spirits?

There's something wrong with this goddess!

Thinking of this, I hurried back to the goddess's house. When I entered the house, it was empty, and the goddess was gone.

Did you escape? I sighed, a step late.

She didn't take anything from home, and there were many useful things, such as "guide incense" or something, I thought it was useful, so I took it away.

Leaving the house of the goddess, I found the village chief. Tell him my reasoning today and the Goddess incident from beginning to end.

The village chief nodded in agreement, and assured me that the whole village would be wanted the next day, and that someone would be sent to look for her.

I don't know if he really agrees with me, or if it's because my son is in my hands.

My legs are thin, but there's still something important to do. That is to determine whether the body of Zhang Gua was transformed or stolen.

I robbed the village chief of a big adult rooster, and then went to the paper shop to buy some straw and bamboo sticks, which were very cheap and didn't cost a lot of money.

I tied a scarecrow and tied the hair of the lady to the incense sticks from the goddess's house, so that the hair could burn at the same time as the incense.

Next, I smeared the scarecrow with pig's blood and lit it with a guide incense.

In this way, if her corpse really ran away on its own because of the corpse, then she would definitely be lured over by Lu Lu Xiang tonight.

Zombies are afraid of roosters, and with the cooperation of roosters, plus I still have the remaining corpse charms, I will definitely be able to catch her.

I waited all night and found nothing. Suffice it to say that her body was stolen!

This matter will have to wait until the goddess is found.

I found a place for the scarecrow to throw it away, and as for the rooster, I don't plan to return it to the village chief, I plan to go back to stew.

On the way back, the village chief's man bumped into me, and he said to me in a panic: "The goddess has been found!"

I was overjoyed: "Where is it?"

He said, "In Yizhuang...... It's just that she's dead......"
