Chapter 81: Puppet Show

Zhang Yuguan looked at Chang An in surprise, and secretly said: This Chang An even knows my Taoist magic skills, which should not be underestimated.

Then he nodded

"This puppet was left by Xiao Cui before his death, and with my Taoist Tianmu technique, I may be able to see through a trace of heaven."

Chang An pondered for a moment, looked at Zhang Yuguan and shook his head

"Brother Zhang, this puppet is so precious to you, there is no reason to destroy it easily."

Zhang Yuguan said

"Say this thing is precious to me?"

Chang An patted him on the shoulder

"Brother Zhang's Taoism has already been passed on by the Taoists, but the tragedy in Zhoujiacun has passed for more than a month, and now he uses this puppet to spy on the heavens, if it is not for the preciousness of this puppet to Brother Zhang, why wait until other methods are used, but there are no clues, before making up his mind to use this puppet."

Zhang Yuguan looked down at the puppet and said

"What else can be done now?"

Chang An said with a smile

"Whenever you do something, you must always leave traces, it is better for Brother Zhang and me to join forces to investigate this case."

Zhang Yuguan's eyes lit up, and then he said

"Okay, I just wanted to try it out with you."

Chang An laughed and said again

"Since we want to join forces, Brother Zhang has to tell you what you know without reservation."

Zhang Yuguan's face changed, and then he realized that he had fallen into Chang'an's trap

"Okay, you, it's been going around for so long, and you're here to trick me."

Chang An's face was straight and he said seriously

"Brother Zhang, I have admired the Daomen for a long time, and I definitely really want to join forces with Brother Zhang to investigate the case."

Zhang Yuguan sat on the bed and pondered for a long time

"Well, you're going to ask about it from someone sooner or later."

Chang An found a chair, sat quietly on the side, and said

"Brother Zhang, please speak."

Zhang Yuguan said slowly

"Actually, I know very little, but in one night's work, the whole village of Zhoujia Village was killed, and the next day, the third child of the Liu family went to Zhoujia Village, and found that there were no living people in the village."

Chang An asked

"The third child of the Liu family? Where are the others? ”

Zhang Yuguan shook his head

"I fell to my death last month. ”

Chang An looked at Zhang Yuguan with a smile and said lightly

"What a coincidence."

Zhang Yuguan smiled bitterly

"I know what you want to say, I have also checked this matter, the Liu family is a hunter, Liu Laosan has all the skills, ordinary people can't get close, if he is killed, it must be a person who has to have a little kung fu."

"However, while hunting in the mountains and forests, he jumped down and fell to his death."

Chang An wondered

What do you mean by that? It can't be that he doesn't want to live anymore? ”

Zhang Yuguan said

"After Liu Laosan came back from Zhoujia Village, he talked about touching the wall all day long, and the people in the village thought that he had lost his soul and was haunted by the evil ghosts of Zhoujia Village, but that Liu Laosan was quite normal except for chattering, he should hunt and hunt every day, he should eat and eat, look carefully, and it is no different from before, and everyone didn't care too much about it at that time."

Chang An looked at him and smiled

"Brother Zhang must have paid attention to him."

Zhang Yuguan smiled confidently

"That is, when it comes to ghosts and gods and the like, my Zhang family will naturally always keep an extra eye, not to mention, I calculated the fate of that Liu Laosan a few days ago."

Chang An said

"It seems that it must not be a good hexagram."

Zhang Yuguan nodded

"A bad omen, which makes me worry about him even more."

Zhang Yuguan looked at Chang An, but found that he was looking at him in surprise, so he asked

"Brother Chang An doesn't believe in this divination either?"

Chang An said apologetically

"That's not it, Brother Zhang, please continue."

Zhang Yuguan continued

"After I followed it for a few days, Liu Laosan seemed to be very afraid of Zhoujia Village, and every time he passed by Zhoujia Village, he hid far away, but other than that, I really didn't find anything abnormal."

Chang An asked again

"That brother Zhang has gone to Zhoujia Village to investigate."

Zhang Yuguan said

"I've been there, the whole village was blocked by the government in the first few days, and then the officers and soldiers left, but the village has been cleaned up, and I didn't find any useful clues, just ......"

Chang An asked

"Just what?"

Zhang Yuguan thought about it and said

"I found that there was a large open space in Zhoujia Village, as if it had been turned over completely, and the soil had been turned over."

Chang An frowned

"A clearing?"

Zhang Yuguan nodded

"On top of that, I smell a strange smell in that clearing."

Chang'an Road

"It seems that this Zhoujia Village is hidden in it."

He thought about it for a moment and asked suddenly

"By the way, Brother Zhang, are you sure that no one in Zhoujia Village was spared?"

Zhang Yuguan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why he asked like this, but this incident reminded him, and after thinking about it carefully, he really never considered whether Zhoujiacun still had a living mouth

"I really haven't thought about this, according to the people in the official government, the people in Zhoujia Village are all deadly, I think it must be done by the masters on the rivers and lakes, and there are no people in Zhoujia Village who practice martial arts, how can there be survivors under the masters of the rivers and lakes?"

Chang An recalled the letter Yan Sihai sent him, which mentioned a child named Zhou Xi'er, and asked

"Brother Zhang, have you heard of a child named Zhou Xi'er?"

Zhang Yuguan frowned

"Xi'er? I've heard that the child is from Zhoujia Village, his parents are farmers, how do you know him, Brother Chang? Don't! ”

Chang An nodded slightly

"As far as I know, he is probably a survivor of Zhoujia Village."

Zhang Yuguan was excited, grabbed Chang An's sleeve and said

"Where is he now?"

Chang An bowed his head slightly and sighed

"He died in the capital."

The hope that had just ignited in Zhang Yuguan's heart was shattered in an instant

"Alas......"

Chang An suddenly glanced at him strangely and said

"Brother Zhang, do you remember what unusual happened to you here a year ago?"

Zhang Yuguan said

"You say so, there is also a case of a boy disappearing a year ago, just before the Gu Mansion in that city was destroyed."

"What!"

Chang An stood up suddenly, this is too unusual, in the remote northern land, there was a case similar to that in the capital, a year ago, wasn't that the time when the boy disappeared in the capital?

Two places and different sides of the world, and the same case appeared at the same time?

Zhang Yuguan was taken aback by Chang An, and when he saw his hideous expression, he said timidly

"What's wrong?"

At this moment, where can Chang An hear him speak, his heart has already turned over the river and the sea, if the same case happened in the north at the same time a year ago, could it be that the Queqiao has also appeared here?

No, even if they summoned the Queqiao, what is the point of not having that Li Qingchou?

But while Chang An was pondering, outside the house, the cry of a pigeon alarmed him.

He hurriedly ran out of the house, took the letter from the white pigeon, and opened it to see that it was a letter from Qingzhou's home.

"Liangzhou!"

Chang An patted his head

"yes, how did I forget that family."

He turned around and asked Zhang Yuguan again

"A year ago, did you ever have people here?"

Zhang Yuguan didn't know why Chang An was so excited, thought about it for a moment, and was about to answer, but saw Chang An looking at him with a strange expression, patted his head, and said with a wry smile

"I'm confused, how can I not?"

"Brother Zhang, I'm going to Zhoujia Village to investigate, and I'll leave it to you here."

As he spoke, without waiting for Zhang Yuguan to react, Chang An jumped high and quickly left the village.

Zhang Yuguan said

"Bastard, he also said that he would investigate the case, and he slipped away after talking."

He thought about it, but he was not reconciled

"No, I have to go over and take a look, I can't be preempted by him."

With that, he ran out with him.

Outside Zhoujia Village

A cool breeze blew on his face, and Zhang Yuguan subconsciously felt that the cool breeze was like a cold palm, constantly rubbing his chubby face.

"The death of a villager, this hellish place is so bad."

Zhang Yuguan pinched the Dao recipe in his hand, and when he counted it gently, he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat even if he, a righteous Dao Sect authentic.

He mustered up his courage and walked slowly inside, the village was silent, and since that night, few living people dared to break in.

He had actually been to Zhoujia Village many times, and he was also quite familiar with Zhoujia Village, and after a short time, he found the vacant land that had been turned over.

"Chang'an, Chang'an."

He shouted in a low voice, as if he was afraid that his voice would be louder and that he would be listened to by those unjust spirits.

But he shouted for a long time, and no one answered him, so he frowned and muttered to himself

"Where's this guy?"

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing from the back of his neck, and he turned his head in shock

"What people!"

But when he turned around, it was empty, his face became more and more nervous, and the cool breeze just now was clearly stirred up by someone passing quickly behind him.

"Chang'an, is that you?"

Zhang Yuguan said timidly

"Don't be kidding, Chang An, come out quickly."

But the next moment, his face was pale, and his mood suddenly cooled from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

He saw a puppet standing quietly not far away, smiling at him!

Moreover, he recognized the puppet at a glance, Xiaocui had made many puppets, but this one, he couldn't forget it, because it was herself.

"Xiao Cui!"

Zhang Yuguan exclaimed, of course he already understood at this moment that it was not Chang An joking with him at all, but where did he still have kung fu to manage Chang An now.

And what frightened him even more was that the next moment, the puppet actually moved!

But I saw the puppet suddenly rise into the air, but I saw the puppet rise into the air, but it flew away out of thin air!

Zhang Yuguan only felt that his pants were cold, and he was so frightened that he peed.

He stood still, still in shock after a long time, and he looked around, and a gust of wind blew again, and he was so frightened that he crawled out of the village.

When he ran out of the village, he sat on the ground, sweating profusely and panting frantically.

After a long time, he slowly eased up, but every time he thought of the seeping puppet, he still couldn't help but shudder.

"Could it be true that as Liu Laosan said, there is really any ghost touching the wall?"

At this moment, he recalled what Liu Laosan said about touching the wall, and he couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body, he shook his head vigorously, but he still couldn't wave his head at the scene just now.

On the contrary, memories that seemed to be about to be forgotten once again came back to my mind clearly.

Touching the wall ghost, that is a legendary story in the Xiaocui puppet show, the legend is that there is a literati Liu Guanren, who is timid and afraid of ghosts by nature, but loves to listen to ghost stories.

And this Liu Guanren heard a story about the ghost who touched the wall from a friend, this ghost haunts at night, likes to mix with beautiful women, if he sees a living person blowing on him, he will cover his face with his sleeves, and will also walk around the living person, so that he can't be directional, and when he encounters this ghost, he can use urine to force him back.

Zhang Yuguan looked at his lower body and peed his pants, and said suspiciously

"Could it be that my urine scared off the wall ghost?"

Then he slapped his face

"What am I talking nonsense, I'm an authentic sect, how can I be afraid of these demons and monsters, I want to become a generation of exorcist heavenly masters."

Speaking of this, he wilted again, although he is a descendant of the Taoist sect and has learned the ability to exorcise ghosts, let alone him, even his master, his master's master, his ancestor, how have he ever seen a real ghost?

On weekdays, he just uses what he has learned to calculate fortune for people, Bu Bu Ji is fierce, but now, he is confused, how can he have any ability to exorcise ghosts.

"Let's go back first, let's think about it in the long run."

He had no choice but to comfort himself in this way, and then ran back in disgrace.

The sun gradually set, the sky became darker and darker, after Zhang Yuguan returned to the village, he waited for Chang An at the entrance of the village for a long time, but still did not see Chang An return, and remembered the puppet he saw during the day, and his heart suddenly panicked.

"Chang'an won't meet the ghost who touches the wall, and the ghost can't get out of the wall."

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, he really wanted to go and see, but when he thought of the situation during the day, he stopped again.

"That's it, let's go again tomorrow, that Chang'an is strong in martial arts, I don't think there will be any danger in the future, I'm still worried about myself."

Zhang Yuguan comforted himself like this.

So saying, he walked back.

He is such an optimistic person, he can always think about it, and he will forget all his worries.

late at night

"Knock Knock"

A noise woke up Zhang Yuguan, who was already asleep, and Zhang Yuguan, who was in a daze, was about to get angry, but was suddenly doused by the scene in front of him.

The puppet that looked like Xiao Cui was covered in blood, and it stood in front of him!

saw that the puppet's mouth slowly opened, and the corners of the mouth were still dripping with blood, and what was even more terrifying was that the puppet actually let out a terrible scream.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! ”

Zhang Yuguan suddenly shouted

"Ahh

He woke up suddenly, looked around, only to find that it was dark and there was nothing, and he touched his neck, but it was already a cold sweat.

"It's a dream again......"

Zhang Yuguan frowned and looked out the window, the moon was sparse, and the shabby robe hung quietly at the head of the bed.

He walked slowly to the window, his face a little worried, and the master's words suddenly echoed in his mind

"Yuguan, the ancestor has a saying, our vein, we have six senses in the dark, and we always have synesthesia for some strange things."

He secretly wondered: Could it be that I have been dreaming lately, which is a sign of synaesthesia? If that puppet is Xiao Cuituo Dream and me, then what do you want to tell me, Xiao Cui?
