Jiao Dahong agreed and Shen Ze was not surprised at all. He immediately started doing it. Shen Zezhi folded the rune paper into a triangle, and then asked Jiao Dahong to drip blood on it.

"You can come in." Shen Zezhi said to Yao Xianxian.

Yao Xianxian looked at the big banyan tree hesitantly and asked, "What should I do with it when I leave?" ”

Shen Zezhi glanced at the leafy big banyan tree and said, "It's just a tree, if you're not here, no one will trouble it." ”

Yao Xianxian seemed to be a little hesitant, and then Jiao Dahong spoke: "Don't worry, I'll come and see it often." I'm not going to let the people in the village come and hurt it. ”

Yao Xianxian smiled sweetly at Jiao Dahong, and then turned into a puff of green smoke and burrowed into the paper talisman in Shen Zezhi's hand. Shen Zezhi took out a thin red rope from his clothes pocket and put it on the paper talisman and handed it to Jiao Dahong: "You put it away." ”

Jiao Dahong took it and put it on his neck cautiously, and he asked uneasily, "Do I have to pay attention to something?" ”

Shen Zezhi glanced around and said with a smile: "There is no need to hide anything here. ”

Although Jiao Dahong was surprised by his words, he knew that there was nothing to avoid, so he stopped asking.

Shen Zezhi asked, "Are you an orphan?" ”

Jiao Dahong glanced at Shen Ze, as if he was wondering why Shen Zezhi asked about this. But Shen Zezhi didn't mean to explain, so Jiao Dahong nodded: "Yes, my parents died not long after I was born, and my uncle and aunt have been supporting me since then." ”

Shen Zezhi nodded and didn't continue to ask. The group went down the mountain and went home. After separating from Jiao Dahong in the village, Ji Ziyue asked: "Didn't Yao Xianxian kill a villager, why didn't you ask her who she killed just now?" ”

Shen Zezhi shook his head: "It's useless, Yao Xianxian said that she killed the old stubborn, so what she saw when she killed should also be the old stubborn." ”

Ji Ziyue was confused: "She killed the old stubborn, but the old stubborn was killed by Cui'er, who became a demon." What's going on? ”

Shen Zezhi explained: "I mean, someone made Yao Xianxian think that she killed the old stubborn. ”

Ji Ziyue pondered for a moment and said, "It's strange how things in Jiaojia Village look. You see, about half a month ago, Jiao Yuzhou came to Jiaojia Village with Chunjun. The village chief said that he did not enter the village but went directly to the back mountain, and then he disappeared. Three police officers chased him to the area, where he also disappeared. However, the police could not enter Jiaojia Village. So was the enchantment of Jiaojia Village set before or after? ”

Shen Zezhi said: "I think the enchantment of Jiaojia Village has always existed. ”

Ji Ziyue asked: "I won't talk about the people who stole the Pure Jun Sword, but those three policemen are ordinary people, how did they get in?" ”

Shen Zezhi thought for a while and said, "Speaking of which, the time when they came to Jiaojia Village was too timely. They may have been put in on purpose. ”

Ji Ziyue said: "Who put the three of them in?" Why did he bring three unrelated people here? ”

Shen Zezhi's mind changed and said: "The three of them are indeed ordinary people, the key is who can control the enchantment of Jiaojia Village?" ”

Noriko guessed, "Could it be...... Jiao Yuzhou! ”

"Jiao Yuzhou"

Shen Zezhi and Ji Ziyue said in unison. Jiao Yuzhou's identity is very suspicious, he stole the Chunjun Sword from outside, and then ran to Jiaojia Village. He wouldn't have been able to get in if no one had opened the barrier, but the three of them got in anyway. So Jiao Yuzhou, who disappeared before, is the most suspicious.

Ji Ziyue said: "So, Jiao Yuzhou is probably not dead." He is now around Jiaojia Village. What is his purpose? ”

Shen Zezhi: "I think his purpose in guiding the three policemen to Jiaojia Village may be me." ”

Ji Ziyue looked at him: "You? ”

Shen Zezhi's analysis: "That's right. If Jiaojiacun knew that I was a disciple of Chu Xun, he would know what was special about me. He's probably trying to bring me in. ”

Kiko said worriedly, "Aren't you dangerous if you say this?" ”

Shen Ze shook his head: "On the contrary, I am safe now." No matter what Jiao Yuzhou plans to do, he definitely needs me. So he wouldn't just kill me. ”

Ji Ziyue said: "What is Jiao Yuzhou's purpose in stealing Chunjun? ”

Shen Zezhi: "The Pure Jun Sword is the most yang thing in the world, and it is the best to use it to restrain evil spirits." Both the village chief and Jiao Hongzhou said that there was one thing in the village that many people wanted. But that thing must be very hard to get. Shen Zezhi looked at the surrounding scenery and said, "The village chief said that Jiao Yuzhou went to the back mountain as soon as he entered the village. And the demon spirit of the mountain is wanton, the demon Hengsheng, that place is very evil at a glance, so Jiao Yuzhou took the Chunjun Sword just to restrain the things on the back mountain and then get such a mysterious thing. ”

Noriko continued: "But when he got here, he found that he couldn't get that even if he had Junjun, he brought in the three policemen who were chasing him and used the fact that they were missing to lure you over." Wait a minute. Ji Ziyue frowned and said, "Jiao Yuzhou should have known from the beginning that he might need your help to get something like that, but he knew that you would definitely not help him, so he stole the Chunjun Sword and wanted to replace you." But just in case, he made a second preparation. Jiao Yuzhou investigated you in advance and knew that you and the people from the city bureau were college roommates, so he left a flaw for the police, so that the people from the criminal investigation team of the city bureau found him, and then led them all the way to Jiaojia Village. After arriving in Jiaojia Village, he found that only the Chunjun Sword was not enough, so he started a second plan, letting three policemen in and then letting them disappear in Jiaojia Village. There is an enchantment in Jiaojia Village, and no one can enter except you, and he expects that your college roommate will definitely ask you for help. And you will definitely help when you hear such a thing, and then you will be lured. ”

Ji Ziyue and Shen Zezhi looked at each other, and he said: "Now I can be sure that Jiao Yuzhou is indeed a character, no matter whether his identity is true or false, it can be seen from his arrangements that this person is definitely not an idle person." ”

Shen Zezhi nodded: "That's right, and now we have come to Jiaojia Village according to his calculation step by step." ”

Ji Ziyue said: "But we've been here for so long, why hasn't he done anything at all." ”

Shen Zezhi frowned: "I don't know, but the situation in the back mountain is very bad, I suspect that he may be trapped in the back mountain and can't get out, so he hasn't shown up for so long." ”

Kiko asked, "I don't know what happened to those three policemen." ”

Shen Zezhi said: "It's dead." ”

Noriko's eyes widened: "Dead? ”

Shen Zezhi returned to the room and took out a small transparent glass bottle from his bag and handed it to Ji Ziyue, Ji Ziyue took it and saw that there were only three filters of gray smoke in the transparent glass bottle, and he asked, "What is this?" ”

Shen Zezhi said: "Their souls, I found them at the back of the village. ”

Ji Ziyue handed the glass bottle to Shen Zezhi: "What to do with them." ”

Shen Zezhi said: "When we solve this case, after we leave here, we will scorch them to the ghosts." ”

The two of them were talking, and suddenly the sound of a musical instrument came out of the outside, and Ji Ziyue stood up and pricked up his ears and listened for a while: "It's suona, this tune sounds so familiar." ”

Shen Zezhi said: "It should be that the old stubborn and Yingzi are going to be funeral." We heard this tune the night they got married. ”

Ji Ziyue asked Shen Zezhi: "The old stubborn man was killed by Cui'er, so what about Yingzi?" Cui'er won't let go of her own daughter. ”

Shen Zezhi said: "I don't know, but Cui'er said that Yingzi was not killed by her." Although she doesn't seem to have any feelings for Yingzi, it doesn't look like she killed her when she speaks. ”

Kiko Yue said: "Yingzi was scared to death. What the hell did she see that night? ”

Shen Zezhi shook his head, he stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

Ji Ziyue followed him out of the house and said, "Okay." ”

The mourning halls of the old stubborn and Yingzi are both located on the threshing floor outside the village, and there was originally only one coffin here, but now it has become two. Jiao Hongzhou and his two nephews and nieces carried filial piety. Shen Zezhi and Kiko were raising the coffin when they arrived, and the person carrying the coffin was a young man from the village. They tied the coffin to a wooden pole with very thick hemp rope. Each coffin was carried by six people, who had to walk through the figures drawn on the ground and recite the scriptures before they were carried to the cemetery at the back of the village for burial.

Kikokoshi stood aside and looked carefully at the figure drawn on the ground, and he looked down curiously and read something like the gray powder used for painting. He found out that it was a grain thing. It is a brown-colored skin on the outside of the wheat grain, also called bran. Kiko asked in a low voice, "Why do you use this thing to draw a picture, and what kind of picture they drew this?" ”

Shen Zezhi: "Bran belongs to the five grains, and after people eat the five grains and die, they have to take the road painted by the bran." As for these lines, they drew the underworld. ”

The more surprised Kiko became: "Difu, why are they painting this?" ”

Shen Zezhidao: "This is a sacrificial ceremony, called turning the city and crossing the bridge. Turning the city is to take the ghost to the ghost city to prevent the soul from finding the way and not being reincarnated. As for crossing the bridge, it is to cross the Nai He Bridge. After death, the ghost can only be reincarnated as an adult after crossing the Naihe Bridge. ”

Noriko asked in a low voice, "Does this work?" ”

Shen Zezhi: "The so-called sacrifice is a kind of belief, sometimes it is useful, sometimes it is useless. For example, it is useless now. ”

Kiko was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Shen Zezhi lowered his voice and said, "The souls of the old stubborn and Yingzi are gone, who are they guiding?" Besides, this place can't even get in, so what kind of reincarnation is there to talk about? ”

Noriko-more nodded. At this time, the person carrying the coffin was about to cross the bridge, and the person in front was holding a handful of incense, talking something as he walked, and the person behind him kept scattering paper money. At this time, the wind happened to rise, and for a while the wind blew the paper money fluttering, which really had a sad taste. Looking at Jiao Hongzhou and the two children again, they were already in tears at this time. The more Ji Zi thought that the old stubborn man was still eating and drinking with them a few days ago, but today he had become a dead man, and he felt a little sad for a while.

After crossing the bridge, the coffin was carried directly to the cemetery at the back of the village. Somewhere someone had already dug a pit, two coffins were buried one after the other, and then everyone filled in the earth together, and finally filled the grave pit, and two round grave bags bulged out from it.

Then everyone burned some of the sacrificial things used for the funeral in the past few days in front of the grave, and the funeral was over.
