"What's wrong, what did you find?"

Baizhu saw that the little broken child seemed to be entangled in something, and asked.

"That person did have strangulation marks on his ankle, and he didn't die for a long time." The little broken boy replied.

"Are there really water monkeys?" Baizhu was shocked.

The little broken boy shook his head, not to deny anything, but to sort out his thoughts: "This is what I can't figure out, the strangulation marks on the deceased's ankles are indeed fingerprints, but they are human fingerprints, not those left by the water monkey, the marks left by the water monkey are slender blood marks and not bruises." Judging from the strangulation marks, the murderer was very powerful. Shortly after the person died, the marks on the body were not obvious, but I could tell that the muscles in the ankle were a little deformed, which was caused by the force. ”

"You mean to say that it wasn't the water monkey, but someone killed him?" Baizhu asked again.

"No, first of all, the person was drowned, and the crime scene should have been in the water. But the time of his death is definitely not more than an hour, but you see, in this cold day, such a turbulent river, who can hide under the water and pull people? Even if there were, he had a panoramic view of the land for several miles before and after, wouldn't he plan to go ashore, if he did, he would definitely be discovered. If it's an example, but you haven't heard it, this is already the third one. The point is, the man died in a terrible state, and he must have seen something terrible. The little broken child analyzed.

"It's not a human, it's not a water monkey, what else could it be?" Baizhu also said puzzled.

At this time, Long Chuan, who had not spoken, smiled and interjected: "Both, everyone says that it is a water ghost, a water ghost is a ghost, and it is not a water monkey, such a simple question, is it worth the brain?" ”

After listening to this, Baizhu and Xiao Po Boy slapped their heads and immediately realized that they had entered a misunderstanding. Because over the years, there have always been people who have come out to refute rumors, saying that water ghosts are actually animals, not real ghosts. And the water ghosts they have seen over the years are indeed animals, not real ghosts, so when they heard that they were water ghosts, they defaulted to water monkeys.

"Are there really water ghosts?" Little Po said with a little surprise.

"Why, I thought you'd seen it before. Listen to your tone, haven't you seen it yet? "Baizhu returned.

"I really haven't seen it, but I've heard it from the stories that people have passed down from mouth to mouth, and the immortal family usually only tells me about magic scriptures, and rarely mentions demons and spirits. Sister, you've been traveling north and south for so many years, haven't you never seen a water ghost? ”

Baizhu shook his head honestly and said, "Powerful ghosts are rare, let alone water ghosts." I even wonder if there is such a thing, because ghosts can't cross rivers and fires, and since they are all spirits, why water ghosts can, it doesn't make sense. ”

"Whatever, otherwise, let's not go back today, it's getting dark anyway, just stay and see if there are any water ghosts, if there is, help get rid of it, it's not in vain." Xiao Po said with a suppressed look of excitement that he has a heart to punish evil and promote good, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he must want to take care of it.

"Yes, I support it!" Long Chuan said.

"Whatever you want! However, why don't we go eat something first, and stay here all the time, others still think we are murderers. Seeing that they were in high spirits, Baizhu obeyed.

Xiao Po Boy and Long Chuan are right to think about it, there are just dead people here, ordinary people can't hide, if they don't leave, it will inevitably attract gossip, and besides, killing ghosts is the best thing in the middle of the night. So, like other tourists, the three of them returned to Xuhua Village. The village is very large, with a population of 2,000 households, and all kinds of supporting facilities, just like a prosperous town. They wandered around, found a tavern, and ate until late at night.

When I came out of the tavern and came to the accident site again, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning. The river is some distance from the village, and between the two places, there is a forest, which, although there are no luxuriant foliage in this season, can block the view. From the forest to the river, there is a rocky wasteland, and on the wasteland there is a yard enclosed by a wall, which is what people call a breeding farm in the afternoon. The farm is still under construction and has not been put into operation, and when they walked by, the lights inside were all off, and there should be no people. The river was also empty, and there was not a single ghost.

The little broken child looked at the environment and was overjoyed. According to his thoughts, it is actually very easy to find out if there are water ghosts in the river, just summon the souls of the drowning people today and ask, but it is not good to use some spells to let outsiders see them. At this point in time, coupled with the secluded environment here, and the fact that there are still people who have died today, people should not dare to come, and it is suitable for them to act.

However, as they were about to cross the woods, the little broken child suddenly stopped as he walked.

"Little Master, what's wrong?" Long Chuan hurriedly asked.

The little broken child did not answer, but stared at the ground, walked around, and then pulled out a few small white flags from under the imperceptible tree.

"The soul-attracting flag must have been planted by the family of the deceased." Baizhu said immediately when he saw the flag.

Xiao Po Zi looked a little nervous, shook his head and said, "It's not the Soul Attracting Flag, it's the Array Flag used to set up the formation, you take a closer look." ”

After saying that, he handed it to the two people. Long Chuan naturally couldn't see anything, but Baizhu saw the clues. The making of the soul flag is very simple, and the pennant made of white paper is pasted on the straw. But the flag found by the little broken child is very similar to the soul-attracting flag at first glance, but if you look closely, it is actually very different. First of all, the flagpole is made of cypress, which is not yet new wood because of the pulp. Not only that, but there are also some patterns engraved on the flagpole, and the lines are very clear and seem to be regular. Speaking of flags, they are not made of white paper, but of white satin, and each flag is painted with a pattern connected by dots and lines.

"What the hell is this?" Baizhu asked in surprise.

"Judging from the position where they are placed, this formation is called the Nine Star Flying God, and it is one of the flying methods in the Qimen formation." The little broken child said seriously.

"Qimen formation? Qimen Dunjia? "I don't know how to fight in Baizhu, but I still learned a little bit when I was struggling with the cow. He once said that there are two factions in the world. One is the natural will, the formation is completely arbitrary, no matter where it is, no matter what the star bureau is, you can start the formation, however, the person who needs to set up the array has a high level of cultivation and must be extremely proficient in the Yili astrological phenomenon, and there are very few people with this ability. Of course, Niu Struggle didn't say that he and his master were phoenixes and horns. Then there is the use of Qimen Dunjia's technique to set up the array, this way of arranging the array, relatively speaking, is very formatted, as long as you find a suitable star bureau, you can use some magic weapons to set up the array, as long as you work hard, you can learn it, but there are many restrictions.

"Yes, it's Qimen Dunjia. Qimen formation, first to finalize, and then arrange, the plate is divided into three ways, the palace method, the flying palace method, and the flying combination method. The general flying combination method is most used for the arrangement of the Ecstasy Array, and the Nine-Star Flying God is a relatively powerful Ecstasy Array. Unexpectedly, I can see it here, Qimen formation, and now there are not many people who inherit it. The little broken child sighed.

"What's so powerful about this Ecstasy Array? We went into this forest, and we didn't find anything wrong, didn't it be good? Long Chuan asked curiously.

"The nine stars in the Nine Stars Flying God refer to the Seven Spirits plus the Heavenly Soul and the Earth Soul. Walking into this array, only the human soul can still function, and the human soul is also called the living soul. It means that this formation will not harm your life, but in this formation, there is only life. What you see and hear is what the people who set it up want you to know, and what they don't want you to know, you can never know. The little broken child said solemnly.

"I don't understand!" Long Chuan scratched his head and said.

"Look there!"

After speaking, Xiao Po Boy pointed with his hand, Long Chuan and Baizhu looked at it at the same time, and then he was taken aback.
