After thinking about it for a while, Rong Fei finally gave up the idea of digging graves and kept his bottom line.

It would be disrespectful to the deceased to exhume the grave bag when there is no evidence that the person buried in the grave is relevant to the case.

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.

After years of contact with dark characters such as bandits, corpses, and murders, most of the quick arresters will become fierce, and the moral bottom line in their hearts will become lower and lower.

In the end, the result is unscrupulous means to solve the case.

Because of his identity as a suspense writer in his previous life, Rong Fei has rich theoretical experience, so on the first day he became a fast catcher, he set some rules for himself to avoid repeating the mistakes of his predecessors.

One of them is respect for the dead.

This is not an example... Extraordinary things in extraordinary times... The excuses of the eldest husband being informal, etc., are all nonsense in Rong Fei's opinion. In this way, people's bottom line is broken little by little in forced and expedient measures, and finally become accustomed to it.

When people die, whether they are good, evil or not, Rong Fei will try his best to respect the corpse.

The act of digging up graves and cutting off households is an extremely bad behavior in the moral outlook of the Chinese people, and it is to be poked in the backbone.

And the insight of the wall is not omnipotent, and there are certain limitations.

Spiritual hearing cannot filter out the noise, and does not reject all voices that come from them.

Psionic vision can see through the air, and it can also debunk illusions. However, they are unable to observe things in a relatively small and enclosed space.

Observing a small, confined space with spiritual sense is like holding something directly in front of your eyes and being blinded.

Giving up the idea of digging the grave, Rong Fei dug a pit and buried the body of the mysterious monk so that it would not be eaten by wild beasts.

Then follow the original road back to Tanxi Town.

The crux of all the problems ultimately falls on the fourth uncle.

……

At the same time, Li Ji, Hou Chunhua and other five arresters quietly entered the town, looking for the traces of Rong Fei and six colleagues. Gu Fengxiao, who vomited and lost his strength, and another catcher stayed outside the town.

"Ahh Ahh

"Ancestor, be quiet... Yes... Ahh ”

Hou Chunhua was startled by the sneeze around him, and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth and nose, but he inhaled too much for a while, and he couldn't help sneezing.

In order to avoid being confused by the smell of the dream mushroom, several people smeared his secret potion on the cloth strip to cover their mouths and noses according to Li Xiang's method.

This method really worked, allowing the five of them to enter the town without being affected by the scent of the dream mushroom. But the smell of Li Jimi's medicine is too spicy, and while keeping his mind clear, it is also constantly stimulating his nasal cavity, making people want to sneeze uncontrollably.

Sneezes echoed through the silent town, and something was stirred in the surrounding courtyards, and the sound of shuffling footsteps could be heard.

The crowd hurriedly found a hidden place to hide.

Piercing creaks rang out one after another, and courtyard doors opened.

The crowd secretly looked out, and under the moonlight, they saw a strange posture... People, came out of the courtyard.

The bodies of these people were crooked, covered in gray-white filaments, and they staggered as they walked, feeling like a gust of wind could blow them down.

The face that is not covered by filaments is even more terrifying, with deep-set eye sockets, skin and bones, and scattered teeth, exactly like the ghosts described in the Zhiyi Tales.

Such a strange and terrifying scene made all the people look different and feel chills in their hearts.

Isn't this the Nine Secluded Mansion?

"Dada-da..."

Because of the fear of the unknown, there were two catchers who were so frightened that their teeth chattered. Although the voice is soft, it still reveals the hiding place in the silence.

The ghostly figures all turned their heads to look this way, and their sunken eye sockets lit up with a strange red light.

At this point, Li Ji gritted his teeth and rushed out of the hiding place first, pulled out his waist knife and shouted.

"I'm afraid of a bird's egg, cut down this group of evil creatures."

The rest of the people also knew that since they couldn't dodge, it was better to give it a go, and muster up the courage to rush out and draw their knives to cut down.

"Be merciful under the knife!"

The crowd was about to slash at the nearest ghost with a knife, but an old voice came from the side.

An old man came tremblingly with a cane.

Seeing that the old man's face was normal, and there was no silk covering his body, and at the same time, those ghost things also stopped moving after the old man appeared, so he raised his hand and signaled the crowd not to act rashly, and then shouted at the old man and asked.

"Who are you? Where do these ghosts come from, and what do they have to do with you? Hurry up and tell the truth, otherwise Hugh blames the ruthlessness of the knife. ”

"The poor master is angry, the little old man is the mayor of this town. These are not ghosts, they are all good people of this town. ”

The old man was the fourth uncle, and he waved his hand at Li Jiong and explained.

"The people? Hmph, you're bluffing me! ”

"It's really the people, if you don't believe it, you can touch their chests and heartbeats, and their mouths and noses are breathing."

Li Ji and Hou Chunhua glanced at each other, unable to judge whether what the old man said was true or false for a while, and did not dare to really go to check.

"If you are a living man, why is it like this?"

Hou Chunhua asked.

"I don't know, these people are suffering from a strange disease to become this picture of people who are not ghosts and ghosts, but they are indeed living people."

The fourth uncle sighed with a sad face.

"Strange disease? What is the strange disease? ”

"Little Lao'er doesn't know, just a person who is infected with this strange disease will... They will become like wild beasts, biting and eating flesh when they see people. In desperation, Xiao Lao'er could only use ancestral prescriptions to turn them into this. ”

Is there such a strange disease in the world?

The crowd couldn't tell whether what the old man said was true or false, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

After a moment of silence, Li Ji asked again.

"Is anyone else in town before I wait?"

The affairs of these weirdos are put aside for now, and the top priority is to find the whereabouts of Rong Fei and the other six colleagues as soon as possible.

"There are two groups of poor masters who have entered the town, the first two poor masters are missing, and the second batch of six poor masters are resting in a courtyard."

"Take me there."

When the fourth uncle came to the courtyard, he saw six colleagues lying on the ground sleeping in the dilapidated house.

Li Jiong, Hou Chunhua and others tried to wake them up, but no matter how they slapped their faces and called their names, the six of them just didn't react.

"Old thief, is it a good thing you did?"

One quickly pulled out his waist knife, put the blade on the neck of the fourth uncle, and asked sharply.

The fourth uncle was so frightened that he fell to his knees and stammered to explain.

"Don't misunderstand, the little old man can't resist on his shoulders and can't lift his hands, how can he have such a ability. The town is full of maddening miasma, and in order to prevent these poor masters from becoming monsters who are not human or ghosts, they let them eat some moonlight grass that can relieve the miasma. As long as a few errand masters are taken out of town, the medicinal properties of the moonlight grass will be eliminated in a few days, and you will be able to regain consciousness. ”

Although the six colleagues were unconscious, they were not worried about their lives for the time being, and the old man's demeanor did not seem to be fake, so the crowd believed a little.

Hou Chunhua stabbed Li Jiong's waist and whispered in his ear.

"Except for Xiao Gu in us, you have a brilliant brain, how do you get an idea now?"

The six catchers who went to the town first had been found, but Rong Fei still had no trace, and Hou Chunhua was also a little confused for a while, and he didn't know what to do next, so he could only ask Li Jiong's opinion.

Li Jiong pondered for a moment, and decided to send the six unconscious colleagues outside the town first, and then turn back to continue looking for Rong Fei.

Hou Chunhua nodded when he heard this, glared at the fourth uncle viciously, warned him not to play tricks, and called on the crowd to carry the six sleeping colleagues out of the town.

Walking out of the small courtyard, Li Jiong felt a gentle wind blowing in his face.

A leaf was blown by the wind and stuck to Li Jiong's face.

Li Jiong raised his hand to take off the leaves and was about to throw them away, but he vaguely saw that there seemed to be something on the leaves, so he quietly held the leaves in his hands and hurriedly left with the crowd.

Waiting for the people of the Immortal Division to go away, the fourth uncle, who had been kneeling on the ground, stood up tremblingly, rubbed his sore knees and let out a sigh.

"What is the matter with my uncle?"

Rong Fei smiled, put his hands behind his back, stepped over the threshold and entered the small courtyard, and stood six feet in front of the fourth uncle and asked.

"It turned out to be the fairy cha master, a few immortals just came to look for you, I think I haven't gone far yet, and the little second brother is going to call them."

As he spoke, the fourth uncle was about to call someone on crutches.

"There is no need to trouble my husband in this matter, Rong will handle it."

Rong Fei stretched out his hand to stop the fourth uncle.

"The old man hasn't answered the question just now, lamenting what's the matter?"

"Alas!"

The fourth uncle sighed again when he heard this, and pointed to the stone table and stone bench in the courtyard.

"This matter is a long story, please sit down, and let the little old man speak slowly."

The two sat opposite each other on the stone bench, and the fourth uncle held the head of the cane with both hands, and looked at the night sky obliquely, his eyes full of regret and misery.

"It all started 40 years ago. The town made a living by picking herbs and cutting and selling fragrant wood, and although it was not easy to live, it was also free of food and clothing.

But with the extinction of the herbs and fragrant trees in the front mountain, the food and clothing of the townspeople gradually disappeared, and they had no choice but to enter the back mountain in violation of the ancestral teachings.

Since the old man can remember, the elders in the town have often reminded him that the dense forest under the cliff of the back mountain is the territory of the mountain god's grandfather, and he must not trespass and disturb it, otherwise the mountain god's grandfather will be punished.

But at that time, the townspeople were about to run out of food, but they couldn't take care of a lot, and broke into the back mountain in groups. The back mountain, which has not been set foot in for hundreds of years, has grown countless precious herbs and towering fragrant trees, and the townspeople are ecstatic, and they have forgotten the ancestral teachings to the back of their minds.

One day, several descendants met a seriously injured and unconscious woman while collecting medicine in the forest, and took the woman back to the town for treatment.

As everyone knows, that woman is the punishment of the mountain god's grandfather for desecrating the territory of the townspeople. ”
