Chapter 164: Visit the temple fair again
This evil doesn't even dare to provoke the underworld, and it is definitely not an easy small character to deal with. But this incident happened to me and happened near my house, so I can't ignore it.
When I went back to the temple, the incense ash had already dispersed, and everyone present was covering their mouths and noses, looking uncomfortable. Xiaoya was still waiting for me in the same place, and Zhou Jin and the police who came later took Uncle Li and several people who were very close to Uncle Li at the time of the crime to go back to the police station to record a confession. I said in my heart that Fourth Uncle Li was killed by a ghost, and no matter how much the police investigated, they couldn't find out why.
Fourth Uncle Li had just died strangely, and the incense ash in front of the City God Temple was blowing all over the sky, which made everyone feel a little crazy. Today, everyone at the temple fair didn't have the heart to go any further, and they all went home as if they were running for their lives. Xiao Ya's beautiful eyes were full of fear, and when they were almost finished, she asked softly, "Brother Feng, you said that Fourth Uncle Li was really killed by ghosts?" ”
Looking at her frightened appearance, I will now confirm to her that Fourth Uncle Li was really a ghost killer, and she is afraid that she will really be frightened. I smiled lightly and said, "How can there be a ghost killing someone at the gate of the City God Temple, don't think too much, someone must pretend to be a ghost after killing someone, so that we all think that people are ghosts to get rid of suspicion." ”
Xiaoya said: "But you were so sure that Fourth Uncle Li was killed by ghosts before." ”
I shook my head, "I said it casually, and the method that the old Chinese medicine doctor said may not be true." Besides, how can there be ghosts in this world? Xiaoya stopped talking, and I continued: "Don't think too much, be careful of nightmares at night." Hurry up and go back and wait for Brother Zhou's news. ”
"Oh." Xiao Ya agreed suspiciously, and when she left, she still glanced at the City God Temple strangely. She didn't particularly believe what I said, and walked away with a puzzled expression.
It's time for me to go back as well. This incident happened suddenly today, and I can't guarantee that the evil will not harm my parents, so I have to go back to the house and arrange some magic weapons to resist the evil spirit.
When I went back to the alley, I happened to bump into my mother and Cheng Xiaorui who came back from the temple fair, and I said in my heart why is it so weak, I can still meet Cheng Xiaorui when I walk around. I turned around and hurriedly tried to avoid it, but my mother stopped me. I had to bite the bullet and turn back.
"I asked you to ask Xiao Rui to go to the temple fair, where did you go with someone?" My mother reprimanded me angrily.
"I met Zhou Jin today, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I forgot about it when I chatted with him." I hurriedly explained, but Cheng Xiaorui's gaze made my face redden. It feels like lying has been thoroughly seen through.
"Hmph, Xiao Rui is also your fiancée. How can you snub her so much? My mother reprimanded, I thought to myself that this was not my own will, you forced it into me. I can only think about this in my heart, and I can't say it in front of my mother.
I repeatedly said that I was wrong, and said to Cheng Xiaorui: "Then let's go to the temple fair together tomorrow." ”
Cheng Xiaorui shook his head, a look of fear on his face. "There was an accident in the City God Temple today, Uncle Li died at the gate of the City God Temple, and the incense ashes in the City God Temple were inexplicably blown out by the strong wind. People are saying that the temple is haunted, and I don't dare to go there. She squeezed at me as if she was scared, and I quickly dodged away.
Mom smiled: "It's okay, Xiao Feng is not afraid of ghosts, if it is really haunted, then you can see Xiao Feng's ability." "My mother knows best.
"What a capability?" Cheng Xiaorui asked curiously.
My mother wanted to say something, but I interrupted directly: "It's nothing, I've also heard about the City God Temple, what the hell is there." Someone must have played a prank. As he spoke, he took her hand, "Thank you for sending my mother back, you can go back now, be careful on the way, I'll ask you out to play tomorrow." ”
"Okay, don't forget." Cheng Xiaorui smiled, sent me an autumn wave, and turned to leave.
I was relieved that this guy was finally gone. My mother originally wanted to keep her at home for lunch, but when I took the initiative to ask her out to play, my mother didn't say anything to keep her, nodded with satisfaction, and went home with me.
After lunch at home, I went out to the lumber shop in town to buy some pieces of mahogany. Ask the carpenter to make this piece of peach wood into eight small coffins of equal size. The coffin doesn't have to be too big, just a quarter the size of an ordinary coffin.
After I finished making the coffin, I asked someone to help me carry it home and place it in the yard. Many neighbors pointed at my coffin, and I just went out of the City God Temple today for such a strange incident, and I inexplicably ordered a few coffins to put at home. Everyone thinks I'm being taken by a ghost. In fact, these small coffins are of great use in front of the house, and the eight peach coffins are placed together, forming the ghost bureau of the eight coffins. In addition, Momoki itself suppresses ghosts, which makes the defense capability of the Eight Coffins Town Ghost Bureau go up a notch. With these eight coffins at the door, it was like a row of forts erected on top of the city tower, so that the evil could not break through so easily.
After finishing the Eight Coffins Town Ghost Bureau, I was still a little unrelieved, and hung up the gossip mirror and copper coin sword in the house, and also pasted a golden light charm on the five ghost seats. At this time, the family has already arranged for me to be solid, no matter how strong the evil ability is, don't want to break into my house easily.
My parents both knew my abilities, and they didn't say anything when they saw that I had so many things on my head at home. After a hasty dinner, I drew a few talismans and went to bed.
No family set off firecrackers tonight, and the original atmosphere of New Year's joy dissipated without a trace, and the whole alley fell into a suffocating silence.
Early the next morning, I asked Cheng Xiaorui to go out to play, and this guy couldn't be happier when he saw me take the initiative to ask her. I wondered in my heart, I had only known her for a few days, why did she care so much about me? Could it really be that the buddy was too charming and made her fall in love at first sight?
According to our custom, the temple fair will be held until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and it will continue to be held no matter what happened yesterday. However, there are many fewer people going to the temple fair today than yesterday, and even some small vendors have withdrawn. Today's temple fair is really the loneliest temple fair in my memory.
Cheng Xiaorui wanted to climb the most famous mountain in our county, but I insisted on going to the temple fair, and she could only obey. When she approached the temple, she had a look of horror in her eyes, and she hid behind me and didn't dare to show her face.
We bumped into Zhou Jin and Xiaoya by chance at the temple fair, and I didn't expect them to come to the temple fair to join in the fun. They said hello to me, I stepped forward, greeted me, and asked Zhou Jin how the investigation of yesterday's case was.
Zhou Jin shook his head in distress and said, "We checked several of the most suspected people last night, but we didn't find anything suspicious. The forensic examination report came out last night, and there were no fatal wounds on Uncle Li's body, and Uncle Li, like Uncle Chen, was scared to death. ”
Sure enough, the evil that killed Fourth Uncle Li and Uncle Chen was the same. At this time, I remembered that Uncle Li talked about the woman who looked like a cat, which should be a characteristic of this evil spirit.
"I said that people are killed by ghosts, of course you police can't find anything." Xiaoya said.
"We all know that people are killed by ghosts, and you still dare to come." I laughed.
Xiaoya stuck out her tongue and said that she didn't want to come, but Zhou Jin pulled her here. I smiled, didn't I also come with Cheng Xiaorui? I asked Zhou Jin about other clues about this case. Xiaoya and Cheng Xiaorui chatted about the day, two women in one play, the two of them already knew each other, and as soon as the conversation box opened, they unceremoniously threw the two of us aside.
"Xiaofeng, didn't you say that Cheng Xiaorui is your fiancée that your parents forced on you, why do you still come to the temple fair with her."
I smiled bitterly and said, "No way, this is my mother's force." ”
Zhou Jin patted me on the shoulder, "Brother, you're really miserable." Let me give you a piece of advice, this Cheng Xiaorui is very scheming, you should be careful in the future, don't calculate for her. ”
I nodded. Suddenly, I saw a group of people gathered in front of the temple temple, and almost all the people who came to visit the temple fair came here, so I greeted everyone and went over to see what was going on. We squeezed into the crowd, and a middle-aged woman was talking to the big guy at the gate of the Chenghuang Temple.
This middle-aged woman is a very famous goddess in our area, and people call her Shen Banxian. The big guys are all gathered here today, it turns out that they listened to Shen Banxian talk about what happened yesterday.
