The traces of human worship in the temple are relatively clean.

There was no dry firewood in the four corners, so the three of them split the case, set up a bonfire, took off their wet clothes, shoes and socks and boiled them beside them, and cut off a few pieces of tiger meat to bake and eat.

Light and fire dispel the cold and the fear.

Jiang Yun parked the six corpses in the temple and wiped their eyes that could not be blinded, knowing that he would dig a pit to put the corpses in the ground.

"The lonely shadow of the cold river, the old people of the rivers and lakes, why should we have known each other when we meet?" Song Che looked at the upright corpse and couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Yun looked at him in surprise: "You are a businessman, and you also know the rivers and lakes?" ”

Song Che said: "Jianghu, Jianghu, what are Jianghu?" Where there is Rao, there are rivers and lakes, and you and I are all people in the red dust rivers and lakes. ”

"Why am I not?" Liao Heng pouted and interjected.

Song Che said with a smile: "You are going to Yangzhou to serve, you are a person in the officialdom, and you eat imperial grain, but I am a pawn of a peddler, and he is a sword." ”

Liao Heng added firewood to the fire, his eyes were deep, and he didn't say anything, I don't know if he acquiesced, or if he had some thoughts.

"To be honest, I used to look down on people who were doing business from the bottom of my heart, thinking that they were all treacherous people who couldn't afford to make profits, and tonight I heard what Brother Chen said, and they were all old people in the rivers and lakes, so why should we know each other when we meet!"

Jiang Yun took off the wine bag and wanted to drink with Song Che. Song Che said: "Wine, drink it later, lest you eat out of the state, and the person who pretends to be a ghost comes, and it is not easy for us to deal with it." ”

Jiang Yun was proud: "I put the two tigers at the gate of the temple to tell those who pretend to be gods and ghosts that I can kill the big insects, and it's best not to know what to do." ”

"I said a big thing, but now my hands are still shaking." Song Che smiled and glanced at Liao Heng.

Liao Heng rolled his eyes back: "I'm frozen!" ”

Song Che came to the corpses, squatted down and groped while asking, "Brother Jiang, in your opinion, how are these Rao martial arts?" ”

Jiang Yun flipped through the palms of several corpses, "I haven't fought with them, so I'm not too sure, but I'm definitely not as good as me." However, from their calloused palms, it can be concluded that they are all experts in using knives. ”

Song Che said softly: "Then this is strange, isn't it?" A group of swordsmen with martial arts, if someone wants to kill them, they will resist no matter what, but there is no trace of a fight in the courtyard, and they are not injured, and they seem to have been weakly killed in such an unknown way. ”

Jiang Yun frowned, "You are...... Is there really a ghost killing? ”

Song Che shook his head, "Where in this world are there ghosts, it must be someone who kills them, but that person must have used some method that they don't even know about ghosts, so that they can't even pull out the knife and die." ”

He withdrew his groping hand and asked, "I touched them all over again, and there wasn't even a single child, do you think it's strange?" ”

Jiang Yun said: "A person who walks the rivers and lakes, even if he is poor, should leave some money to buy wine and feed horses." ”

"But their horses are gone."

"Is it a robbery?"

"It should be a robbery," Song Che shook his head again: "What I can't figure out is that they have created a situation to kill people, so that the business travelers will stay away, is this different from cutting off their own financial routes?" ”

Liao Heng added quietly: "What's more, they chose to kill people late at night, I don't think there should be anyone else, refuse the beautiful proprietress and come here to spend the night with us." ”

"Could it be, using a powerful ghost to ask for his life and escape the government's accountability?" Jiang Yun guessed.

Liao Heng immediately denied: "I've never seen a bandit who is afraid of the government." ”

"Let me ask, if you want to kill people silently, what is the best way to use?" Song Che asked.

Jiang Yun and Liao Heng said in unison: "Poison!" ”

"That's right," Song Che said, "It's like when you go into the house to pick flowers, first use a smoke to charm the girl, so that she loses consciousness, and then you can be at your mercy." ”

Jiang Yun and Liao Heng squinted their eyes at the same time, suspicious of Song Chelai.

Song Che coughed dryly, "I'm just giving an example...... Let's get down to business,"

He casually folded off a piece of wood and scraped it through the noses of several corpses, and got a single powder.

"What do you see here?"

"Boogers."

"It's a powdery boogie."

Song Che analyzed: "There are three obstacles to poisoning, the first is through physical contact, the second is eating in the mouth, and the third is inhaling through the nose. The first and second methods of poisoning will certainly not work for them, so that only the third method remains, which is poisoned smoke. ”

He turned his head and looked at the "ghost fires" lingering on the mass graves outside the temple, and said slowly:

"The so-called ghost fire is just a kind of 'phosphorus' emitted from the bones after death, which has a very low ignition point and will re-burn when the gas is dry...... It's raining, absolutely, absolutely, there will be absolutely no ghost fire. ”

"Are you ......" Liao Heng hurriedly covered his mouth and nose.

Song Che said with a smile: "Don't worry about it first, the fans outside the temple should have been used to deal with these six Rao before, the rain was so heavy, they had already been diluted, otherwise, we would have fainted in the mass grave." ”

"If the man-made ghost fire suddenly becomes thick......

"It's clear that the 'ghost' is going to attack us-"

"Whew!"

As soon as the words fell, a strong wind struck.

The "ghost fire" that was still sparse suddenly burned so vigorously!

"Here they are, here they are...... How can we hide from such a large area of poisonous smoke? Liao Heng was so shocked that he stood up from the ground.

Song Che hurriedly stepped back, "You may have a try to wet the cuffs, but I'm afraid the powder can't be filtered completely." ”

"There's no need to worry."

Jiang Yun put his hand into his chest, rubbed it back and forth a few times, took out two pills and handed them to Song Che and Liao Heng: "Put it in your mouth, no matter how poisonous the obstacle is, it won't stun you." ”

Song Che looked at the black pill in his hand, and raised his eyebrows: "This shouldn't be the 'Leg Stretching Staring Pill' rubbed out of you, right?" ”

Looking at his unkempt and sloppy appearance, he can indeed rub these things out.

"What kind of leg stretching and staring pill, this is the 'Baicao Detoxification Pill' refined by the family teacher, and the emperor has no luck when he comes." Jiang Yun stuffed the pill to Song Che and Liao Heng.

The two of them were suspicious and took the antidote pill.

"What about you? Why not eat it? Liao Heng asked.

"I have a unique mastery, turtle breath and breath skills, but I can sink into the dantian and not be disturbed by the poisonous miasma...... Besides, I haven't taken a shower in ten years. ”

"You guy! ...... vomit"

"Okay, let's pretend to be dizzy quickly, and see what the 'terrible ghost' has to wink"

The three of them fell to the side of the campfire.
