"Ever since my parents were killed by human cultivators, my brother has been living alone with me, and in those years, we were afraid of being approached by cultivators, so we have been hiding in Tibet, and our lives have been very hard."

"Later, we escaped to the mountains and managed to get rid of the human cultivators who were following us, and we have settled there so far."

"My brother's cultivation talent is very good, it didn't take long for him to successfully cultivate into a human body, and then one day, he suddenly said that he wanted to avenge his parents, although I was very reluctant, but I knew that I couldn't stop him, so I could only watch him leave our habitat."

"During this period, he also came back a few times, but every time he came back, he recovered from his injuries and left, and later, after a long time, he never came back again, until I also cultivated into a human body, and then entered the human world to find him."

"But I searched for a long time, but I didn't find any trace of him, I thought he was dead, so I planned to return to the habitat one by one, but I didn't expect that on the way back, I met two human cultivators, and after a battle, I was seriously injured and was beaten back to my original form."

"Fortunately, my husband passed by at that time and saved me, otherwise I might have died a long time ago."

Speaking of this, she looked at Xie Lingwu on the side affectionately, and the latter immediately showed a look of surprise when she heard her say this.

"The little black cat in the ruined temple was Madame?"

Xie Lingwu liked to travel in the early years, often went out to explore, once in the night in the broken temple, he met a seriously injured little black cat, when he saw that the little black cat was pitiful, so he helped it bandage the wound, and later took the little black cat to the city to see Langzhong.

After some treatment, the little black cat was finally cured, and after that, there was a clingy little black cat by his side.

But later, I don't know why, the little black cat that accompanied him for half a year, suddenly said goodbye, he was sad for a long time at that time, and now it seems that the little black cat has never left him, but has changed its appearance and stayed by his side.

"Yes, after half a year of recuperation, my injuries have completely recovered, so I turned into a human body again, at that time I was going to return to the habitat, but when I saw my husband's sad appearance, I was reluctant, so I simply created a coincidence and successfully stayed by my husband's side."

Mrs. has affection in her eyes, and she has to sigh at this love story of one person and one demon.

Although the story is very cliché, it is still very touching.

"And how did Madame's brother find you?" Qin Chuan asked.

"I don't know how he found me." Madame shook her head and said, "Just three days ago, he suddenly appeared in my room and said that he had found a good place for me and wanted to take me out of here. ”

"I have been with my husband for many years, I don't want to, who knows, he suddenly changed his face, and actually planned to forcibly take me away, I couldn't obey him, so he used his husband's life to threaten him, and even killed several people."

"Seeing that he was going to kill more people, I fought with him, but, after all these years, his cultivation is too much higher than mine, I am not an opponent at all, and in the end I was seriously injured by him, but he did not take my life, but he just put down his words, saying that he would come back in three days, if I still refuse to go with him, he will kill all the people in the other courtyard."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help frowning.

According to Madame, her brother only appeared three days ago, but people in the courtyard have been dying since a long time ago, and this time is not right.

Moreover, he remembered that Gongsun Keming had said that the mistress of the other courtyard, who was also the lady in front of him, had said that the dead child came back to ask for his life, what was going on?

Could it be that this dead child is referring to her brother who suddenly appeared?

"Madam, Brother Gongsun once said that you said something about the dead child three days ago, what is going on?"

Hearing this, Mrs. couldn't help but darken her eyes, and was silent for a moment before she said: "Actually, in the third year of my marriage, my husband and I were pregnant, and I was pregnant with a child......

"What! What do you say, ma'am? We have kids! ”

She was just halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Xie Lingwu on the side.

The latter threw himself to the side of the bed and took Madame's hand with an excited expression, his eyes full of surprise.

He has been married for more than ten years, although the husband and wife have been in love for many years, but they have never given birth to an heir, which has always been a piece of his heart, and his wife also persuaded him to take a concubine, but he was not willing to do so, just because he had no such blessing in his life.

But now, he heard that his wife had conceived a child for him, and this could not make him not excited.

Looking at his excited appearance, Madame's eyes couldn't help but be full of guilt.

"Husband, the concubine has indeed been pregnant with a child, but I'm not sure if the combination of humans and demons can successfully give birth to an heir, so I didn't tell you, I just want to wait for the child to be born, and then it depends on the situation."

"But who knows, although the child was successfully born, he did not survive, and the moment he came into this world, he was already dead."

"In order not to make my husband sad, I quietly buried the child, under a big willow tree not far from this courtyard."

Although Xie Lingwu was sad to hear that the child had died, he also had to accept this reality, but he said that he wanted to see his child's grave under the willow tree.

In this regard, the lady shook her head and said, "Husband, our children may no longer be in that grave. ”

"What, what do you mean?"

"Do you remember when I had a nightmare three days ago?"

Xie Lingwu nodded, three days ago, Madame's maid did report to him, saying that Madame had a nightmare and was scared awake, and shouted that some child came to take revenge or something like that.

But no matter how much he asked afterwards, his wife never told him what he had dreamed about.

"Actually, it wasn't a nightmare."

"That day, after I was seriously injured by my brother, I fell into a coma for a while, and in the coma, I vaguely felt that someone had broken into my room, and when I woke up, I saw a child wearing a red belly pocket and full of evil breath standing next to my bed."

"I recognized it at a glance, this child is our child, at that time I thought our child was coming back from the dead, so I wanted to hug him in surprise, who knows, he suddenly knocked me out with a palm."

"And just before I fainted, I saw our child and killed the maid who had arrived."

Speaking of this, she couldn't hold back any longer, and cried when she lay on Xie Lingwu's shoulder.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan didn't bother the two, but took a few steps back and came to Gongsun Keming's side.

"Brother Gongsun, do you know any way to bring a dead child back to life and still have the ability to kill?"

After hearing so many stories, if the lady had not lied, he felt that the matter was already clear.

The murder case in the courtyard should have been committed by this dead child, and the appearance of Madame's brother should be just a coincidence.

It's just that what he can't figure out is why the child, who has been dead for many years, suddenly came back to life, and why he would mutilate the people in this courtyard.

"Alchemy."

Gongsun Keming was silent for just a moment before giving the answer.

"Alchemy? Haven't heard of it. ”

Qin Chuan shook his head and asked, "Can this spell bring people back from the dead?" ”

"I can't."

Gongsun Keming explained: "Alchemy is an evil spell, through which the cultivator can refine and control the soul of the living being, so that the physical body of the living soul can be used for his use. ”

"Puppets that are usually refined in this way are called spirit golems."

"In other words, behind this spirit puppet, there is still an evil cultivator hidden?"

Qin Chuan frowned, feeling that the matter in this courtyard was even more complicated, not only did it involve monsters, but now there was actually an evil cultivator hiding behind it.

"Quite possibly." Gongsun Keming nodded and said, "As far as I know, although the spirit puppet can also act independently, it is actually not very intelligent, like this situation of only killing a few people a day, it is impossible to complete it without someone manipulating it behind the scenes." ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan nodded and didn't say anything more, and over there, Xie Lingwu and his wife were still immersed in grief.

"Brother Gongsun, let me ask you a question."

"Brother Qin, please speak."

"If the matter is resolved smoothly, how will you kill or release your cousin, or ignore it and act as if you don't see anything?"

Hearing him ask, a tangled look appeared on Gongsun Keming's face.

In normal times, he would definitely choose to eliminate demons, but after listening to the story of Xie Lingwu and his wife, his mind was shaken again.

Now he doesn't know how to choose.

From the moral point of view of the sect, he should naturally kill the demons, but from his personal point of view, he is more inclined to let them go.

Seeing that he was entangled, Qin Chuan patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "If Brother Gongsun doesn't know how to choose, then it's better to treat it as if he hasn't seen anything, let's solve the trouble here, and leave immediately, and just treat it as if I've never been here from now on." ”

However, Gongsun Keming shook his head and said, "Brother Qin, even if we don't know anything, her demon identity will still be exposed." ”

Qin Chuan was puzzled and said, "If you don't say it, I won't say it, how can it be exposed?" ”

"Brother Qin doesn't know, the secret reward of the Demon Slaying Division is different from the bright reward, after we submit the task, the Demon Slaying Division will send someone to investigate the whole incident, even if none of us say it, the people of the Demon Slaying Division will also find out the identity of her demon."

"Could it be that we can only watch the Xie family master and his wife separate, and there is no other way?"

Qin Chuan was still a little unwilling, and said that he would rather demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage, although Xie Lingwu and his wife were villains, although it was a combination of humans and demons, there was no doubt that the marriage between the two was absolutely perfect, and he really didn't want to watch this pair of mandarin ducks being broken up.

Gongsun Keming was silent, and just when Qin Chuan thought that he had nothing to do, the former suddenly said: "It's not that it's completely impossible, it's just that this method is difficult to do." ”
