"I won't forgive you." Ren Qiuling said this to Bai Xinruo hatefully.

Bai Xinruo said arrogantly, "I don't need your forgiveness. I'm so annoyed, I can kill you at any time, watch out for your own words. ”

Ren Qiuling couldn't help but be discouraged, looked back, and immediately pointed to the carpet in shock and said, "That word appeared." On the carpet, a black word "Jiu" is very eye-catching.

Bai Xinruo sighed: "Ren Qiuling, this trick is no longer working." In order to survive, you deliberately imitated the handwriting of the ghost in the storage room yesterday and wrote this word, hoping that I would let you go because I was afraid. I'll tell you, I don't know what kind of ghost it is, but I can feel that he's so weak that he can't hurt me. ”

Ren Qiuling defended: "I didn't write it. ”

Bai Xinruo sneered: "I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and it is impossible for anyone who enters this room to escape my consciousness. It's just me and you in the room, you say, you didn't write it, who wrote it? ”

Ren Qiuling squatted down and checked the word, of course, this was pretentious in Bai Xinruo's opinion. But Ren Qiuling said something that made Bai Xinruo unable to refute: "I believe that no one can really make a ghost under your nose, but you forget that the other party is originally a ghost." ”

Those words were formed by black powder sprinkled on the carpet, Ren Qiuling took a little bit of that powder and smelled it, and it could be preliminarily judged to be charcoal. If Bai Xin used fire to burn a hole in the big wooden box last night, that charcoal should have come from there.

Maybe the ghost wrote this word just to remind Ren Qiuling that the two of them only had nine days to investigate the case. Because the word "Jiu" is originally a complicated writing of "nine".

As long as you bring the wooden box containing the ghost to Zhishouguan, you can immediately find out the identity of the ghost. But under normal circumstances, ghosts don't care about the affairs of the world. Yin and yang are separated, why is this ghost so concerned about the copper serial murder case?

Judging by the fact that this ghost only writes traditional characters, it has been a long time since he died. Of course, people in Hong Kong and Taiwan still use traditional Chinese characters, but this ghost's accent is not like that of Hong Kong and Taiwan, but like a border area, so we can only infer that when he died, China was still using traditional Chinese characters - that was at least 60 years ago! If you look at him dressed in a long gown, maybe he died in the Qing Dynasty? An ancient ghost who stayed in a box for hundreds of years, just to let someone solve a murder case? Who believes this when it comes out?

As soon as Ren Qiuling thought of the case, she forgot about anything else. "I'll take you to breakfast, and by the way, I'm going to check the details of the copper serial murder case."

Bai Xinruo was very annoyed by Ren Qiuling's attitude: "You asked someone to bring breakfast." Just check it out in the office outside. Don't make any fools. She said as if commanding.

Ren Qiuling couldn't help but be big, but if this white heart was not easy to offend, she could only rely on her. looked up the copper serial case on the Internet, and she was really surprised. In Zitong City, Shaanxi Province, there was a man who killed nine women in a row over a period of 14 years, the youngest of whom was only eight years old. The criminal did not have the habit of camouflaging the scene, and left evidence all over the place, but the case has not been solved so far.

Judging from the traces left at the scene, this criminal has a habit of collecting "trophies", he will cut off some of the victims' organs such as scalps, skin, palms, etc. It is believed that these things can be found in his home, because he will face them to relive the process of his sin and experience the joy of the fulfillment of sin.

Now, Ren Qiuling has a guess about the contents of the wooden box: "It is likely that the victim's body parts were cut off." ”

As for how the human scalp, skin and palm can be preserved until now, in Ren Qiuling's opinion, it is not very difficult: the ancient technology of nitrate skin can achieve the long-term preservation of these organs.

While having breakfast in the bedroom, Ren Qiuling told Bai Xinruo about the case, and when she heard that the criminal had only killed nine people, Bai Xinruo smiled disdainfully. "In fact," Ren Qiuling said unconvinced, "I believe that there will only be more people who will die at the hands of this criminal." ”

Bai Xinruo still expressed contempt.

Because half of her face was disfigured, if Bai Xin was unwilling to appear in front of people, she was now strictly controlling Ren Qiuling's actions to ensure her safety.

When Ren Qiuling drove the wooden box to Zhishouguan, she ordered: "We don't go to the Taoist temple, go to the temple where the monk stays." ”

Ren Qiuling tried to reason with Bai Xinruo, "The text on this box is obviously related to Taoism, we don't ask the Taoist, but ask the monk?" ”

Bai Xinruo simply commanded: "Turn around!" She was worried that Ren Qiuling had arranged some powerful person to deal with her in the Taoist temple.

"Okay, let's go to Fangcun Temple." Ren Qiuling said helplessly: "It's just that there is no traffic there, we have to walk up the mountain." ”

The car went to the foot of Huer Mountain, but I didn't expect that the monks of Fangcun Temple were building a road that could be opened to traffic. It was just a dirt road that was difficult for large vehicles to pass through. But this is a message from the temple to the outside world, and the doors of the temple are now open to pilgrims.

Fangcun Temple, which is poor and weak, also sees this road as a hope for survival - this is one of the reform measures after the monk Hui Idiot became the presiding officer.

It was a difficult drive up the mountain, and there were several times on the way that the road was very difficult, and if it wasn't for the enthusiastic help of the monks, the car would not have been able to reach the mountain at all.

In the end, Ren Qiuling and Bai Xinruo still met the abbot of Hui Idiot in the Buddha Hall.

In front of the statue of the Three Holy Buddhas in the West, Hui Idiot told Ren Qiuling, "This wooden box is full of Taoist talismans all around, which shows that the things in the box are very powerful, because the power of the talismans is dozens of times greater than ordinary talismans." ”

If Bai Xinruo had seen that ghost, he only smiled slightly when he heard this, and he already regarded Hui Idiot as a first-class character in his heart.

The idiot asked the two girls to take a few steps back, and he used his powerful Vajra palm to open the iron seal on the wooden box with his own hands.

Although Bai Xinruo didn't know the magic power of the Great King Kong Palm, he was secretly shocked when he saw that the monk's hand was shining with golden light, and the iron sheet was broken inch by inch where his fingers passed.

At this time, a puff of green smoke came out of the hole in the box board, and Hui Idiot just grabbed it lightly, grabbed the green smoke in his hand, took a clean bottle casually, and put the green smoke in.

"It's really blind, it turns out to be a ghost." Hui Idiot said, "Who would draw such a powerful talisman array, but just want to seal a ghost? ”

"What is a ghost?" Bai Xinruo is more concerned about this issue.

Hui idiot said: "The ghost is a common ghost, and the idiom 'for the tiger' talks about this kind of ghost. They are generally weak, and a little mana can deal with them. However, this ghost is more special, it was deliberately made. ”

Ren Qiu Lingqi said: "Can people still make ghosts? ”

Hui Idiot said: "This kind of ghost, the name is Hubao Ling, about its origin, eight words can be clarified: 'Life is vendetta, death is revenge.' 'You don't really need any spells to make this ghost. Usually the process of making it is like this, a gang of robbers kidnaps someone, beats him all the time and persecutes him, making him worse than dead. He was then forced to swear to guard the treasure for the robbers so that he could die. The man, out of fear, agreed to such a condition, and the robber killed him and buried him with the robber's robber's treasure. In this way, the slain person becomes a ghost, and he will be very loyal to protect the treasure for the robbers, and will never change his mind. ”

Ren Qiuling was shocked, because although it sounded incredible, it was very much in line with human psychology. Often, people who are severely persecuted will not hate their persecutors, but will develop a blind worship of them and become very loyal. For example, most of the famous emperors in history were tyrants, including Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, and so on. When people talk about them now, they still worship them.

In other words, although it may not sound credible, it is scientifically sound in psychology.

Bai Xinruo smiled: "It turned out to be a ghost, it's really a long experience." It looks like he'll die if he doesn't solve the case in nine days, it's just a scary trick of ghosts, and it's not terrible at all. We're leaving. "As soon as Ren Qiuling is pulled, he will leave the Buddha hall. It turned out that she saw the idiot exert her magical powers, and although she was not afraid, she was worried that this monk would take action against her.

"Wait!" "The wooden box hasn't been opened yet, don't you want to see if there are any more powerful creatures inside?" The four runes were just to trap a ghost, and I didn't even believe it - there must be something else in the chest. ”

Bai Xinruo's heart moved, and secretly clasped Ren Qiuling's wrist as a hostage, and said, "That's right! I'd love to see what's in there. ”

The idiot once again exerted his magical powers, stretched out his fingers and pulled out the long iron nails nailed around the wooden box one by one, and threw them to the ground.

Bai Xinruo secretly had a contempt for the idiot, thinking that this monk was so stupid, the easiest way to open the wooden box was to smash it, why bother pulling nails so hard?

I don't know that in the eyes of the idiot, the talisman array on the four walls of this wooden box is invaluable, and it is of great significance to Fang Cun Temple - there is a talisman array that has been burned down, which is also the arrangement of heaven's will, it is that people should not be greedy, and things should not be perfect. In the future, the younger generation of monks in Fangcun Temple studied these four rune arrays, and they didn't know how many rune talents they could produce.

At this time, the Buddha hall is extremely quiet, and only the iron nails make a "clanging" sound when they fall to the ground. With a sharp clatter, the wooden box was opened.

Hui Idiot held the wooden board he had taken off, and was so surprised that he didn't move. He was fat, blocking Bai Xinruo and Ren Qiuling's sight. The two girls looked into the wooden box at this time, and they were also speechless in shock.

There is a light in the box.

Under the lampholder, there are nine babies crying out in pain, opening their mouths to let out a silent cry into the sky. They were all scrawny, but they were as big as a drum - only those who had seen the famine would understand how vivid the images of the nine babies were. Because of hunger, children will eat indiscriminately, and their stomachs will be so large that they seem to have their whole stomachs enlarged - this is commonly known as straw belly. The more malnourished, the more they want to eat, but children in poverty often eat things that are not nutritious, and the more they eat, the hungrier they become. In the long run, children will become such a sick body.

On the lamppost, there are four women's palms - the second knuckle of the middle finger of the woman's palm is thinner than that of the boy, and experienced people can distinguish the palms of men and women at a glance. The fingertips of the four palms are upward, as if they are climbing. The marks of the cut at the wrist are like a broken bone, and the bone stubble can be clearly seen. The folds on the hands don't look like they're artificially carved, but like they're natural. Even though it is covered with a thin layer of paint, fingerprints on the fingertips can also be seen.

Above the lamppost was a shirtless, skinny woman with ribs to count and her shriveled breasts hanging like two leaky balloons. There was also a cry of pain on her face, and her expression was sad and angry.

Above the thin woman was an oil lamp made of copper, with a layer of oil left in the lamp, and the lamp sticks out of the copper lamp, twisted like a snake.

On top of the copper bowl is a lampshade made of some kind of delicate leather, and the pores on the skin are arranged in a way very similar to human skin. Under the lampshade, a tassel made of a woman's long hair hangs. The long hair was black and shiny, and it was very well maintained, and it was obvious that the owners of these long hairs must have loved these hairs very much. Now, however, they are hung under the lampshade along with their scalps.

"What is this?" Bai Xinruo thinks he is bold, but he still feels furious when he sees this lamp.

Hui Idiot said solemnly: "This is the Nine Sons Ghost Mother Lamp, and the things sealed in the lamp are the Nine Sons Ghost Mother that all cultivators in the world have no way to deal with. ”
