Chapter 21: The Revenant

An altar was placed in the middle of the courtyard, on which were placed various magic weapons, Qingfeng was wearing a Taoist robe, and held a peachwood sword in his hand.

On the ground, there are dozens of red candles, lined up in two rows, all connected by red threads.

In the middle of the candle, there is ash spread on the ground, forming a path of ash ash.

On the tree on the side, there are still bells tied, and there are two boxes of gold ingots next to it, of course, all of which are paper money, a brazier is placed in front of them, and two subordinates are guarding in front of the gold ingots.

A group of people stood on both sides, all watching this scene with some trepidation.

"On the night of the first seven souls, the deceased will come back to see their family again, but in order to prevent the other party from getting lost, I deliberately use red candles to guide the way and point out the direction, as long as the other party comes back and steps on the ashes, you can form footprints, however, you want to see each other, and ask about some things, which violates the rules of the underworld, so you need to bribe Yin with ingots, once you see footprints on the road, immediately light the gold ingots, which is Yincha's favorite ......"

Qingfeng looked at everything arranged, and slowly spoke, his face was very solemn.

The two subordinates guarding the gold ingots turned pale, but they still nodded.

Qi Zixiao and the others were also on the side, staring at this scene curiously, they had never seen the so-called conjuring spirits.

Qingfeng said, looking at the people around him, "Remember, no matter what happens for a while, don't move, if you scare the yin, Ling Lang will be taken away immediately." ”

After speaking, everyone nodded like chickens pecking rice, and some of the subordinates were extremely nervous, if it weren't for the old man and the old lady standing here, it is estimated that they would have run away long ago.

Qingfeng looked at the time, heard the sound of the change outside, and nodded, "The time has come, you can start." ”

As he spoke, he looked ahead, and with a wave of his peachwood sword, all the candles were suddenly lit with a "bang" and began to burn.

"Dong Wen, come back quickly!"

Qingfeng chanted a spell in his mouth, his hands were sealed, and at some point, a yin wind arose around him, and some people couldn't help but shiver.

"Jingle Bell"

Suddenly, the bell hanging on the tree suddenly rang, the breath in the courtyard became more and more cold, the breeze looked ahead, where the ash path was, the candlelight suddenly flickered, and a footprint appeared on the ground, and the footprints began to move forward, rushing towards the mourning hall in front.

Seeing this scene, everyone's breath was stagnant, with a touch of horror in their eyes, and the subordinates guarding the gold ingots hurriedly took out the gold ingots and lit them, and in the brazier, the fire was extremely vigorous.

But when they lit up, their palms trembled a little.

"Okay, Ling Lang has returned, and it's time to ask him what you want to ask."

A yellow talisman suddenly appeared in Qingfeng's hand, the yellow talisman ignited instantly, and was thrown directly forward, and the next moment, above the mourning hall, a vague figure loomed.

"Arwen!"

Seeing that figure, Mrs. Dong couldn't help but speak loudly, wanting to step forward, but was stopped.

Pan Yue looked at this figure, and her body also shook.

"Dong Wen, this is the day you return to your soul today, tell me, the cause of your death!"

At this time, Qingfeng looked at the other party and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the phantom in front of him slowly opened his mouth, "I, I can't breathe, as before, I want to find Ah Yue, but I can't lift my palm......"

Hearing this, Mrs. Dong cried bitterly and couldn't help fainting.

"Looks like no one killed you."

Qingfeng nodded.

"No one!"

Dong Wen's soul slowly spoke.

"Okay, your parents have also seen it, I don't know what else they want?"

Qingfeng asked, the truth of the matter was revealed, and the rest of the matter was handed over to the Dong family.

At this time, this soul looked at Pan Yue, its mouth opened, and it was saying something.

……

Qi Zixiao looked at this scene, his eyes were shocked, he didn't expect Qingfeng to really summon spirits, and let the souls talk to them.

However, his gaze stayed on Pan Yue.

Vaguely, he saw that the other party's eyes seemed to show a touch of relaxation.

The old lady of the Dong family was also in tears, and talked with his son's soul, at this time, the golden ingots were almost burned, and Qingfeng said, "Okay, Ling Lang is about to leave." ”

After speaking, the other party's body suddenly became blurred, and two tall figures appeared behind each other at some point, and on the ash ground, three rows of footprints walked into the distance, and soon disappeared.

The cold breath also disappeared, and all the subordinates were pale and soaked with cold sweat.

"Old lady Dong, now that the truth is revealed, you can rest assured."

Qingfeng looked at the old lady of the Dong family and spoke softly.

"Thank you, Chief! The old man was grateful. ”

The old lady of the Dong family seemed to have aged many years all of a sudden, and said in a hoarse voice.

Qingfeng was about to leave, Qi Zixiao smiled slightly, and took two steps forward, "Good means, Qingfeng Xiaodao is really a person with great ability." ”

Hearing this, Qingfeng stopped, and looked at Qi Zixiao curiously, "This donor, I don't know what else to advise?" ”

"I want to say that conjuring spirits is indeed a way to know the truth directly, but I think that even Dong Wen himself may not know how he died."

Qi Zixiao opened his mouth flatly.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the old lady of the Dong family looked at Qi Zixiao with a gloomy face, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Qing Feng also had a surprised expression on his face, "Could it be that Your Excellency means that there was another reason for the death of the young master of the Dong family?" ”

"If there is one, let's check it out."

Qi Zixiao looked at the people around him, and looked at Pan Yue, the woman who had been crying.

"Mrs. Dong, I heard that you have a childhood sweetheart."

Everyone's eyes were cast towards Pan Yue, with a strange expression.

"This is when the slave family has not yet married into the Dong family, and it has long passed."

Pan Yue's face changed, and she spoke slowly, without denying it.

"It's really over, I found a letter in your room."

Qi Zixiao took out a letter from his body and looked at the other party with a smile, "That Zhang Gongzi wrote it for you, you need me to read it." ”

Seeing the familiar envelope, Pan Yue's face suddenly turned pale.

"What kind of letter is this, I'll take a look!"

Old lady Dong opened her mouth with a cold face.

Qi Zixiao handed the envelope to the other party and said lightly, "Pan Yue, you and Zhang Quan secretly fornicated, plotting the wealth of the Dong family, relying on your own understanding of some pharmacology, putting an extra amount of medicinal materials in your husband's daily medicine jar, it is not the slightest harm to ordinary people, but for a congenitally weak person, it is a chronic poison, which will make him even weaker, until the night seven days ago, the medicinal properties accumulated in your husband's body reached a certain level, resulting in the inability to breathe and die violently......"

Hearing Qi Zixiao's words, everyone present was stunned and looked at Pan Yue in disbelief.

"You, you talk nonsense, I, I didn't!"

Pan Yue's face was extremely pale, and she was still trying to justify.

"The letter is your and Zhang Quan's plan, in addition, I asked people to find the medicine jar of the young master of the Dong family, found some residues, and asked the doctor to identify it, compared with the prescription of the young master of the Dong family, it is indeed one more medicinal material, by the way, it seems to be called Bajiemao, this medicinal material is to clear the lungs and relieve cough, but your husband is weak, he can't use this medicinal material, but you use it, you want to use the principle of medicinal materials to make your husband's body weaker......

Qi Zixiao spoke calmly, and the official on the side took out a bag of residue from behind him.

At this time, Mrs. Dong also finished reading the envelope, her angry body trembled, and she looked at Pan Yue with an incredible expression, "You, you woman, my son likes you so much, I don't hesitate to turn my face with us for you, all kinds of good things have never been given to you for the first time, and I haven't said a word to you, even after you die, the most worried is you, you actually killed your husband with outsiders!" ”

Qi Zixiao looked at the other party's expression, and sighed helplessly in his heart, after inquiring about the news, he suspected Pan Yue, and asked the yamen to investigate Zhang Quan's whereabouts, and learned that Zhang Quan owed a large amount of money outside, disappeared, and did not go to Beijing at all.

Taking advantage of Pan Yue's absence in the room, he went into it to rummage, found the letter under the bedside, and saw their plan.

It turned out that they had been in contact with each other all the time, and Pan Yue also knew about Zhang Quan's money, so she married into the Dong family and wanted to annex the Dong family's property and repay Zhang Quan's debts.

After three years of plotting, she relied on her own mind and successfully killed Dong Wen.

At this time, Pan Yue's pale and frightened face suddenly calmed down, she looked at everyone, and suddenly showed a smile, "Hehe, it seems that I still haven't hidden it, that's right, Dong Wen was killed by me, I have never liked him, the person I really love is Zhang Lang, I was born as Zhang Lang in this life, and death is Zhang Lang's ghost, you know how painful it is for me to sleep next to Dong Wen every day, I wish he would die immediately, so that I can be with Zhang Lang......"

There was a touch of madness in her eyes, "In the past few years, I have lived hypocritically in your Dong family every day, I have long had enough, you two old things have never looked down on me, I originally wanted to kill Dong Wen and then find an accident to kill you, so that the entire Dong family is mine......"

"Crazy, what a madman......"

The old lady of the Dong family looked at him with a shocked expression and muttered to himself.

Qingfeng also looked at this scene with a complicated face, and his heart was not lightly impacted, he couldn't imagine that a person's heart could be so vicious, and he was even more sad for Dong Wen, he even thought it was his own reason after he died.

"Haha, I'm crazy, driven crazy by you, sharing a bed with someone I don't like every day, who can understand my ......"

Pan Yue roared.

"It's just for you to make excuses, the Dong family asked for marriage at the beginning, you don't like it, you can refuse at all, can the Dong family still be strong, in the final analysis, you still covet the wealth of the Dong family."

Qi Zixiao shook his head and said calmly.

People know that ghosts are terrifying, and ghosts know that people are poisonous.

Compared with the so-called ghosts, the human heart is even more terrifying.
