After a while, Xing Boxiao stood at the door of my house.

I introduced Xing Boxiao's identity to Yunzhi, and when he saw it, he showed a look of understanding.

After fooling around that this was a disciple of Qingxuguan, my parents relieved Jiao Yazhu to hand over the matter to him.

Ignoring the dish on Xing Boxiao's face because he was regarded as a disciple of Qingxuguan, I told Yun Zhi what happened.

Xing Boxiao was embarrassed and said: "Madam...... I'm not a Taoist...... I've never done anything like that......"

Yun Zhi smiled: "It's okay, I did it!" Just do what I tell you to do! ”

Yunzhi understands all the theoretical knowledge, in fact, we are indeed short of a suitable coolie.

In desperation, Xing Boxiao followed us downstairs to hunt ghosts.

Yunzhi put an invisibility charm on the two of us, and gave Jiao Yazhu and her child a protective yellow charm on the inside of their clothes, and entered the house together.

The room had a heavy dampness, and even a fishy smell.

It seems that Jiao Yazhu's husband has been a ghost for a long time, and he still regards this place as his yin house.

"Sister, can you hold on?" Yunzhi asked me worriedly, glancing at my lower abdomen.

I nodded, "It's fine." "I felt a little nauseous in my stomach, but it wasn't close enough to vomit.

Xing Boxiao followed us quietly, and after we found a place to sit down, we repeatedly encouraged Jiao Yazhu not to be afraid, and acted according to our eyes for a while.

She resisted fear and nodded.

According to Jiao Yazhu, the knocking on the door in the past two days began at 12 a.m. and lasted until 2 or 3 a.m.

Now it was only a few minutes before twelve o'clock, and the three of us who had pasted the invisibility talisman found a corner to stay, and motioned to Jiao Yazhu to pretend to go back to bed and sleep.

Soon, it was twelve o'clock.

Sure enough, there was a lot of yin qi outside the door, and then there were three regular knocks on the door.

Jiao Yazhu poked her head out of the quilt in fear and looked at us, and I motioned for her to be silent.

After three rounds of knocking, it was a man's voice: "Yazhu, open the door, I'm back to see you and the child." ”

When Jiao Yazhu got married, I was in college in Zeyun City, so I didn't participate. Yun Zhi went and saw her husband.

As soon as he heard this voice, he nodded, confirming that this ghost was indeed Jiao Yazhu's husband Gao Jinghui.

After shouting three times, the ghost outside the door did not speak again, but knocked on the door again.

Three more knocks, then three more shouts, three more knocks.

I thought it was strange, so I asked Yunzhi what was going on.

Yun Zhi replied with two words: broken talisman.

Seeing that I was still puzzled, he pointed to the peace charm on the door. It was a jade plaque that had been opened, and at this moment, most of it had been blackened.

It seems that knocking and shouting three times a time is a ritual that can gradually corrode the jade plaque.

Only the top part of the jade plaque has not turned black, and we were going to let the ghost in, so I gave Xing Boxiao a look.

Xing Boxiao understood, and threw a ghostly aura towards the jade card, accelerating the corrosion of the jade card, and soon, we saw a male ghost entering through the door.

He was drenched all over, and water was dripping all over his body.

How could such a water ghost go ashore?

Yun Zhi and I glanced at each other in confusion, and then looked at Xing Boxiao, who was also a ghost. Xing Boxiao looked dazed, spread his hands and shook his head.

The invisibility talisman hid our aura and figure in the eyes of the Yin Spirit, and Gao Jinghui didn't notice us, but went directly to the bedroom.

But before entering the bedroom, I saw him use a magic spell to recreate his wet self. The appearance of the water ghost disappeared, leaving only the appearance of a clean and neat living person.

He walked into the bedroom, and because we had taken care of him, Jiao Yazhu pretended to be asleep on the bed.

From where I was standing, I could see the bedroom.

I saw Gao Jinghui first walked to the side of the bed and looked at Jiao Yazhu for a while, and then walked to the end where the child was asleep.

Jiao Yazhu can be obedient and pretend to sleep, and a two-year-old child can't understand what we say. He woke up in a daze, Gao Jinghui smiled at him, and the child babbled and called out to his father.

Gao Jinghui smiled, smiling very happily.

He stretched out his hand to hug the child, but Jiao Yazhu was afraid that he would hurt the child and couldn't pretend anymore, so he picked up the child first and stepped aside in horror.

Seeing this, Gao Jinghui frowned unhappily: "Yazhu, let me hug the child." ”

Jiao Yazhu shook his head: "No...... He's just a kid...... Our children...... Jinghui, please don't take him away! Please! ”

Gao Jinghui was dissatisfied: "I just want to hug him!" And, isn't it good to follow me? ”

"I don't want to die, and neither do the children...... The child is still young, you let him live! He's also your child, how can you bear ......"

Gao Jinghui's originally normal face gradually turned pale, revealing a slight ghost: "I wanted you to go with me without any fear, but ...... Now that you found out I'm dead...... I can't help it......"

"Yazhu, believe me, I'm also for your good!" As he spoke, he was about to stretch out his hand to attack Jiao Yazhu, but when he touched it, his fingertips ignited a yang fire, and he immediately dodged it.

"Something!" He roared in horror.

I gave Xing Boxiao a look, and Xing Boxiao rushed out, grabbed Gao Jinghui's neck at once, and locked him with his ghostly energy.

As soon as he moved, the invisibility charm on his body became invalid. Yun Zhi and I also took off the invisibility charm on our bodies and walked into the bedroom.

Seeing the two of us suddenly appearing, Gao Jinghui was extremely surprised: "Who are you......?"

Jiao Yazhu hurriedly hid behind me and Yunzhi, and when Gao Jinghui saw this, he gritted his teeth with hatred: "Jiao Yazhu!" You have joined forces with outsiders to harm me! ”

"Aren't you trying to harm their mother and son?" I interrupted her angrily.

"You know what! I ......" Gao Jinghui was about to yell at me, but after a sentence, Xing Boxiao's movements increased, so that he couldn't say half a word.

"When talking to Madame, use honorifics." Xing Boxiao educated Gao Jinghui word by word.

He's really handsome than a ghost like the Red Ghost who only works against me!

Gao Jinghui is not low Xing Boxiao, under his obscenity, he can only agree: "Yes...... It's ......"

"Tell me the truth, why do you want to harm their mother and son." I asked.

Looking at his appearance, he is very sensible, not like the kind of ghost who only has a trace of obsession left after becoming a ghost, and is finally controlled by obsession and wants to pull someone to accompany the funeral.

Moreover, I also take one bite and I am also for your good, what do you mean?

Gao Jinghui glanced at Xing Boxiao with jealousy, and said, "I think...... I'm dead now, and I'm a ghost...... It's pretty good......"

"Good what?" I don't understand.

He looked longing: "No one is chasing me back like before, there is no pressure to work to make money, except that I can't bask in the sun, I think it's no different from the life of a living person." Wrong! More chic than the days of the living! ”

You are a fruit that drips and falls into the water when you walk, what qualifications do you have to say the word chic......

Yun Zhi looked at Gao Jinghui, and his brows gradually wrinkled: "You haven't been a ghost for long, right?" ”

"The age of the ghost is one year, three months and seven days." Xing Bo Xiao said.

"How did a ghost who has only become a ghost for such a few days directly become a powerful ghost?" Yun Zhi's eyes kept looking at Gao Jinghui.

I began to understand what he was saying.

Gao Jinghui, as an ordinary person, became a ghost after death, even if he escaped from Yin Cha and came to the world, it is impossible for him to be as sane as he is now.

Especially since he was still a water ghost, and it stands to reason that the water ghost could not leave the area where he drowned.

Gao Jinghui can go home to see his wife and children!

And illusions!

Xing Boxiao stared at Gao Jinghui for a long time and said, "Say! What an adventure! ”

Gao Jinghui looked dazed: "What adventures can there be?" ”

I looked at him as if he was lying, and stared at him, when suddenly, I felt a small bright spot on his left abdomen.

Xing Boxiao didn't look there, probably because he hadn't found it yet. I think back to all the ghosts I know, and none of them have been like Gao Jinghui.

Perhaps, his adventure had something to do with it, and he immediately said to Xing Boxiao: "There is something glowing in his left abdomen!" ”

Gao Jinghui's face changed greatly, and he was about to reach out to block it, but Xing Boxiao had already taken the first step. He directly reached out to penetrate Gao Jinghui's lower abdomen, and as soon as he took it out, he took out a small bead from it.

Gao Jinghui is a ghost and does not bleed, but the injured place has become transparent. Losing the orb, his illusion quickly vanished, and he reverted back to his dripping water ghost.

His mana was greatly reduced, and Xing Boxiao didn't bother to care about him, so he directly looked at the beads in his hand, and suddenly his face changed greatly.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"This is the corpse pill!" Xing Boxiao said in a deep voice.

"What is the Corpse Pill?" I've never heard of anything like that.

"It's the zombie's Neidan." Yun Zhi explained.

I feel like I've opened the door to a new world: "Can the ghost use the zombie's Neidan?" ”

Yun Zhi looked at Xing Boxiao, who was also a ghost, and his words were more convincing.

"Ghosts can indeed use the Zombie Inner Pill to cultivate, but the zombie is bloodthirsty and ferocious, which will have an impact on the Yin Spirit who uses its Inner Pill to cultivate."

I was about to dislike it, but Xing Boxiao said again: "However, the ghosts who need to use the Zombie Neidan to cultivate have never cared about this. ”

I looked at Gao Jinghui silently, and Yun Yi hung the peachwood sword around his neck, and asked, "Say!" How many people have been harmed! ”

"I didn't hurt anyone!" Gao Jinghui shouted loudly.

Yun Zhi didn't believe it, Gao Jinghui crackled and said: "I've been cultivating for the past year!" It's hard to get out of the moat, how to hurt people! ”

"What about Yazhu and the child? You're not trying to harm them. I reminded.

"I'm doing it for their good! It's true! When they become ghosts, they can be as easy as I am! And we're still together as a family! Gao Jinghui argued loudly.

I sighed: "If Yazhu and the child die at your hands, there are only two possibilities, one is to be taken away by the Yin Spirit and extradited to the Judicial Division to wait for the trial to be reincarnated. Second, to become a lowly ghost without consciousness. ”

Gao Jinghui thought I was lying to him: "Impossible! Wouldn't I be fine! I ......"

"You're because you have this corpse pill!" Yun Zhi roared back, "Without this corpse pill, you probably are still lying on the bank of the moat waiting to find a replacement for the dead ghost!" ”

Gao Jinghui looked at the corpse pill in Xing Boxiao's hand again, and I asked, "Where did you get this corpse pill?" ”

He thought for a moment and said, "It seems that when I died, I floated into my mouth." I was careless, and I swallowed ......"

This shit luck......

Xing Boxiao closed his eyes and sensed this corpse pill carefully, and said to me: "Madam, this corpse pill has been refined. The evil aura of the zombies on it has been purified. ”

Then this should be a good thing, how could Gao Jinghui just let Gao Jinghui pick it up in the river?

He looked innocent: "I'm telling the truth...... Really picked up ......."

"How did you die? When you die, is there anyone else nearby? I asked again.

He said that, as judged by the police, he accidentally fell into the river and drowned. It was dark and he couldn't see the way, but he didn't sense anyone nearby.

Yun Zhi was speechless and said, "Sister, if the corpse pill was lost at that time by the refiner, do you think this ghost could still stand in front of us intact?" The person who can refine the corpse pill will definitely be able to disembowelment this ghost who swallowed his corpse pill and take the corpse pill back! ”

It's also true......

"Is there anything under the moat? You've been a water ghost for more than a year, so you should know something. I asked Gao Jinghui.

"It's so cold down there that I didn't dare to go down. However, I feel like there's something terrible out there. That's why I'm in a hurry to get ashore. Gao Jinghui shuddered involuntarily as he spoke.

The two of us glanced at each other, Greentown was a military stronghold in ancient times, so the moat was dug extremely deep.

It is said that one year there was a great drought, and the waterline of the Greentown moat dropped by more than ten meters, and it was still not finished.

According to scientific research, the temperature at the bottom of the river is maintained at around 4 degrees Celsius, no matter how thick the ice is on the surface of the river, in order to maintain the reproduction of life.

Gao Jinghui has become a ghost, there is no temperature on his body, it can make him feel cold, there must be something big under the river!

Yunzhi and I glanced at each other, and finally looked at Xing Boxiao.

Xing Boxiao naturally understood our eyes, but how could he be a landlord-level yin spirit, how could he risk his own life, and looked at Gao Jinghui, a little ghost who was still hovering in the poor peasant class, with a serious face: "Give you a chance to make meritorious contributions!" ”

Gao Jinghui looked at me puzzled, and I said, "If you can help us find out what is under the moat, then we will return the corpse pill to you." ”

Anyway, the corpse pill has been refined, there is no danger, and we don't need it here, so we can return it to him.

"It was mine!" Gao Jinghui was not convinced.

Xing Boxiao threw a ghost aura over and slapped him in the face: "In the ghost world, the strong are respected." ”

The strength was crushed, Gao Jinghui had no choice, for the sake of the corpse pill, he could only agree: "However, the thing below is powerful, I don't have this corpse pill, and I won't stay in the river for long." ”

"You're the only water ghost in the moat?" Yun Zhi asked suddenly.

Gao Jinghui nodded: "Yes......"

Yun Zhi suddenly realized and muttered: "No wonder I walked along the moat before, but I didn't find a water ghost as eyeliner, it turned out that there was something ...... below."

Xing Boxiao looked at me, and I said, "The corpse pill can be returned to you, but you have to swear a demon oath, first, help us check things, and second, you can't harm anyone again, whether it's Yazhu's mother and son, or other innocent people." ”

Gao Jinghui naturally agreed to my conditions, since he knew that Yazhu's mother and son could not be ghosts as he wanted after their deaths, he gave up the idea of letting them be ghosts together.

After pacifying Yazhu's mother and son, we called Xiaobai, and the group went to the moat.

Gao Jinghui pointed to a river beach and said, "This is where I fell into the water and died." ”

Yun Shang stepped forward and burned a yellow talisman, and the bright yellow flame of the rune paper quickly turned a miserable green.

He threw the talisman paper into the river and walked back to us: "If it weren't for that corpse pill, he would have instinctively pulled people into the water here to find a replacement for the dead ghosts." ”

"I didn't want to hurt anyone......" Gao Jinghui weakly defended.

Xing Boxiao stood by the river for a long time, unable to sense any strange breath, and returned the corpse pill to Gao Jinghui.

I instructed, "When you go down, tell us what you can see." Don't be reluctant, but don't be lazy either. ”

Gao Jinghui nodded, reluctantly walked to the river, and jumped in.

He was a water ghost, and he sank into the river without splashing at all, not even a ripple.

I asked Xing Boxiao: "Is it difficult to refine the evil qi on the corpse pill?" ”

Xing Boxiao nodded: "It's very difficult." First of all, only zombies of the purple zombie and above will cultivate the corpse pill, and the zombies will do their best to protect their corpse pill. Normally, it is easier to kill zombies directly than to take pills. ”

"Isn't it easier to take it after killing it?" I don't understand.

"When zombies die, they will self-destruct." Xing Bo Xiao said.

"How do you take it out?" I asked.

"Take it alive, and it must be fast, because if the zombie realizes this, even if he is unable to resist, he will destroy Nedan first."

How difficult it sounds like a lot......

I suddenly regretted the rush to come out and didn't go to find an underwater camera for Gao Jinghui to take down, otherwise, we would still be able to watch the live broadcast on the shore.

Yun Zhi has been playing with his mobile phone since Gao Jinghui entered the water, as if he suddenly found something, put away his mobile phone, took out a set of compasses from his backpack, and put a paper crane folded with yellow charms on the compass.

"Did you find anything?" I asked him.

Yun Zhi's face was not good: "It's not decided yet, I'm going to the middle of the river to confirm." ”

As he spoke, he took out another paper crane, blew on the aura to make the paper crane bigger, and just sat on it, the paper crane became smaller again, fluttering and falling from the air.

"Spiritual power is not enough......" Yun Yi's face was frustrated.

"You'd better tell me what you found first." I said.

Yun Zhi handed me the mobile phone in his pocket: "Look at it for yourself." ”

This is a documentary about Greentown that he just checked on the Internet, which mentions the Greentown moat.

Because the moat is bottomless, so many expeditions have come to check, but there are no special finds, and the general results are because it was a military center in ancient times, and the moat was dug deep for city defense.

Next to it, there are also a few pictures. Because of the age, it is very blurred, and it can only be seen from the annotation below that this is a photo of the riverbank taken when the waterline of the moat was lowered during the great drought that year.

The photo is blurry, however, it gives me a very weird feeling. Because, if I hadn't looked at the annotation of the photo below first, I had a preconceived concept, and then looked at the photo, I would have thought that this was a group photo.

"Am I dazzled? How do you feel like it's a group of people taking graduation photos? I was surprised.

Yun Zhi nodded: "That's what I saw too." However, I am afraid that it is not standing like the graduation photo, but with his face facing outward, but his body is lying across the riverbank. ”

Xing Boxiao turned his head when he heard this, and I showed him the photo, and he also saw the same thing as us, and his face was slightly gloomy.

"In ancient times, when living people built embankments and bridges, they would pray that the banks would not break and the bridges would not collapse, and a special ritual would be used." Xing Bo Xiao said.

"What ritual?" I asked.

"A living sacrifice." The Way of Yun.

I was surprised, and he motioned for me to look at the photo on my phone: "A certain number of living people are used as materials to drive into the embankment or bridge pier, and sacrifice the lives and souls of these living people to keep the peace of the party." ”

He paused, "I've seen it in books. There was a master in Qingxuguan who once discovered such a living sacrifice, and he spent a lot of effort to barely surpass the souls there. At the same time, he also left a note. In the notebook, there is a picture that looks like this. ”

I was speechless: "But won't the pain of the death of those who were sacrificed turn into evil spirits?" How to bless them? ”

"If it's a bridge pier, the foundation stone on it will suppress the souls of these people, and the souls can't move, and the bridge will naturally be stable. As for the embankment, the same is true. People come and go on the embankment, and every living person stepping on it is equivalent to an extra layer of suppression. ”

Xing Boxiao said with a spit, "The living are ruthless, they really can't compare to anything!" ”

"But I don't feel resentment or other yin energy." I hope we all misjudged and that not so many people died in vain.

"This living sacrifice seals all the breath of the sacrifice inside, and it is difficult to sense it." Xing Bo Xiao said.

Yun Zhi raised the compass and the yellow paper crane in his hand: "So I want to go to the middle of the river to have a look, who knows that the spiritual power is not enough, and the paper crane can't move......"

It would be cruel if so many people were crushed under this embankment.

If I can help them, I still want to help them.

As for the embankment collapse or something, Greentown is located in the plain, and the terrain is high, so there has been no news of floods.

Moreover, now that the technology is so advanced, it is not difficult to build a better embankment, where is it necessary to use such a cruel and inhumane method.

"Xiaobai, take Yunzhi to the middle of the river to have a look."

Since Yunzhi said that the child in my belly can't be kept, Xiaobai's attitude towards Yunzhi has always been cold, and he has even been guarding against Yunzhi.

When I said this, it rubbed against me, indicating that it didn't want to go.

"Good, obedient." I touched its dog's head, and Xiaobai walked slowly to Yunzhi's side.
