On the way back, the fat man couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, came to Feng Yun's side, and asked in a low voice:

"Director, that old man is very strange.

Could it be that he could really see something, and he was really talking to Zhang Dong's ghost in the house before?

What is the origin of this old man, didn't you say that in the era of the end of the law, there are no more masters in the world? ”

Feng Yun nodded lightly, and then said unhurriedly:

"There's no need to be too curious about him. It won't take long for you to understand his situation, but before that, it's better to deal with the matter in front of you. ”

From Feng Yun's tone, it was not difficult for the fat man to hear that he didn't seem to be a stranger to the old man.

Although they were still curious, they didn't ask Feng Yun anything more.

In a slightly more mysterious way, Feng Yun has never been silent when the time comes, and this is very familiar to the fat people who are members of the team.

Came to the door of Zhang Dong's room again, the fat man and Yan Qilin pasted the portraits of the two door gods, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, one left and one right, on the door, and then walked into the house again.

As soon as he entered the door, the fat man saw Zhang Dong's ghost, and he wanted to repeat the suicide process again, and his neck was about to be put into the rope at this time.

"Alright, the ghost is blocked out, no one should be staring at you now, hurry down and answer the question."

Zhang Dong's eyes flashed a little strange light at this moment, he looked around curiously, and then happily took his neck back from the rope.

"But you don't have to fucking hang yourself, you're in old sin."

However, the happy expression on Zhang Dong's face quickly dissipated, replaced by gloom between his eyebrows and eyes.

"It's useless, my family is dead, and I don't want to live.

But I didn't expect that people really have souls after death, and I should be what people often call ghosts now, right? ”

Zhang Dong's tongue was sticking out, so his speech was not clear when he spoke, and the fat man pointed to his tongue with some disgust:

"Stuff this thing back first, I don't have time to listen to your feelings, hurry up and tell me what you've been through."

Zhang Dong was really obedient, and after the fat man finished speaking, he immediately took his tongue back one by one, which made Ma Ling'er retch.

Under the constant questioning of the fat man, Zhang Dong half-chaotic and half-sober said about the ghost ship again.

Although Zhang Dong in the current state did not match the preamble and afterword, the fat man quickly sorted out a clear idea in his mind.

The most important of these is that Zhang Dong said something that was absolutely impossible to know from Ti Xingsi.

After Zhang Dong reported the case and returned home, he was groggy as if he had a dream.

In the dream, he fell into the Yong'an River again, and at the moment when he was submerged in the water, Zhang Dong seemed to see a pair of eyes hidden under the water.

His eyes were full of coldness, and Zhang Dong couldn't move in an instant.

Then he shook his whole body and saw his parents and wife who were gradually sinking to the bottom of the water and constantly struggling.

It was this dream that shattered Zhang Dong's last belief.

He suddenly realized that perhaps what he saw in this dream was what really happened at that time.

It's just that at that time, for some reason, he couldn't see anything, and was even pushed ashore by a force.

Speaking of this, Zhang Dong cried sadly, but he no longer had the ability to shed tears.

Zhang Dong couldn't tell what was going on in his body, and the reason why he chose to commit suicide was because he couldn't stand the pain in his heart.

If everything in the dream is true, it means that his family has hope to be rescued at that moment.

But the result ......

Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, the fat man said three words almost in unison:

"Ghost Blinding?"

Seeing that the two of them thought the same as himself, the fat man continued:

"It seems that there is still a problem on the river, is it really the water ghost?

But if this is the case, it is impossible for Zhang Dong to come back alive.

The hateful river god took the tribute and didn't work, otherwise we wouldn't be so confused as we are now.

As a river god, such a big thing happened in the river, and this attitude seemed a little too strange. ”

But it is worth noting that Zhang Dong survived because a force pushed him out.

What's going on with this power?

Another thing is that the case of the disappearance of the body in the morgue doesn't seem to have anything to do with this case at present, right? ”

Ma Ling'er's words were to point out the key point, which made several people confused.

But at this moment, Zhang Dong suddenly lost his mind and kept muttering:

"By the river, a lot of corpses, jumping into the water ......"

The fat man frowned, and after asking repeatedly, he learned that this picture was also seen by Zhang Dong in the so-called dream.

But the fat people didn't think it was a dream, but the power of the ghost to cover their eyes disappeared, and Zhang Dong's mind reproduced the real picture at that time.

What he said when he went to report the crime was just an explanation of the false picture that the ghost had seen under his eyes, so it was full of suspicions.

"Are these bodies that jumped into the river the ones that went missing from the hospital?

It seems that this case is more complicated than we thought.

If what Zhang Dong said is true, then how should we check next......"

The fat man frowned and pondered, but in this kung fu, Zhang Dong's figure was a little more transparent.

Sure enough, in addition to being stared at by ghosts, Zhang Dong can only stabilize his body by constantly repeating the things at this time, so as not to lose his soul.

Therefore, the fat man and the others could only ask Zhang Dong to repeat the process of his suicide again, and the two portraits of the door gods on the door also allowed Ma Ling'er to send them back to the strange old man.

During this time, the fat man and Yan Qilin have been discussing in the courtyard what to do next.

From Zhang Dong's mouth, they learned more about the process of the case at that time, which was indeed a little strange, and the fat man judged that there were probably monsters hidden in this river.

"Stuffy gourd, you said that this river god should not be in the same stream as the monsters, right?

Otherwise, how can you collect tribute and not work, it stands to reason that as the river god here, he hopes that we can deal with the evil spirits that are causing trouble, right? ”

It is not impossible for the fat man to say this, but no one dares to assert this kind of thing until it is confirmed.

The fat man paced back and forth in the courtyard, looking anxious, and Yan Qilin also frowned, but he didn't have a direction to investigate.

This scene lasted for nearly half an hour, and Kong Jie, who was standing at the door, really couldn't stand it.

"Director Feng, these members of your team seem to need help, are you sure you don't need to help them sort out their thoughts?"

The reason why he said this was not because Kong Jie understood the strange practices of the fat people.

Until now, he was still curious, so he wanted to see what these people would do next. How will the whole situation develop?

For these, Kong Jie is ready to report to the general army in 1510 after he returns.

However, Feng Yun didn't say anything about this, just quietly looked at the fat people.

Feng Yun was naturally able to mention a few things in some things, but in this way, it also went against his original intention of hoping to train the three of them.

After all, not every case can be followed by itself, and the polling bureau cannot complete the final huge layout on its own.

Why is Feng Yun not in a hurry to let the poll bureau face the whole country? Naturally, it is because of the lack of manpower, there are no players who can take the lead, and they are too busy.

So he needs to cultivate the team first, step by step.

The folk knowledge Feng Yun needed by the three of them has basically been mentioned, but the reason why the three of them are facing such a predicament is that they can't integrate these folk knowledge to form a clear and clear idea for a while.

They need time, and Feng Yun is confident that they will not fall into a bottleneck and stagnate.

But fortunately, several people are also very smart, and they quickly smoothed out their own ideas.

Sure enough, after a while, Yan Qilin took the lead in raising his head, looked at the fat man and Ma Ling'er and said:

"Is there any way to lure the river god out?"

As soon as he heard this, the fat man suddenly stopped, and then suddenly said:

"That's right, if you can't write it, you can only come to martial arts.

The evil spirit is in the dark, and we are in the light, and if we want to investigate him directly, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky.

But in the previous ritual, it was almost certain that there was indeed a river god in the river, but for some reason it did not appear.

If we can lure this river god out, maybe we will be able to find out what that haunting monster is and where it is hidden. ”

While talking, the fat man took out the small notebook again, which were all notes left by the fat man when he was in class.

Even for this reason, the fat man gave this little book a name, called "Folk Notes".

After turning a few pages in a row, the fat man quickly stopped, and after reading carefully for a few seconds, the fat man pointed to the notebook excitedly and said:

"There it is! The director had mentioned in class before that in ancient times, some folk people had the custom of marrying river gods.

In order to get the wind and rain to be smooth, ignorant people will choose young girls, arrange marriages, and marry them to river gods.

Maybe we can use this method to try to lure the river god out.

As long as I can elicit it out, I have a hundred ways to pry open this old guy's mouth! ”

"The river god marries? Didn't I remember that the director said that this belongs to the ideological dross of the old society? ”

Ma Ling'er asked rhetorically with some puzzlement, but the fat man then said:

"Yes, this is a dross to man, but not necessarily to the river god.

The river god itself is an earth immortal, and his roots are not lost, and most of them are spiritual creatures in the mountains.

In ancient times, there were still boys and girls who paid tribute to boys and girls, and the earth immortals were not the same, and those who came did not refuse.

So dross is dross!

This also has the saying 'worship ghosts and gods and stay away'. Respectable, but not approachable. Because once you get close, you will produce a series of dross behaviors.

And isn't the purpose of our polling bureau also to lock up all these dogs, so that the dross can no longer prevail in the world, and people will have a human life, and there is no need to be close to ghosts and gods.

Ahem, don't look at me so adoringly, it's all taught by the director.

But then again, we don't harm young girls, the main thing is to design and deceive the river god. ”

The fat man's words are very reasonable, and this is also the purpose of the polling bureau.

The folk worship ghosts and gods and stay away.

And the poll bureau is: worship ghosts and gods, and close them!

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Ma Ling'er and Yan Qilin looked back at Feng Yun one after another, obviously wanting Feng Yun to come up with an idea.

However, in this regard, Feng Yun quickly said with a smile:

"You don't have to listen to my opinion, you can do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't go against the purpose of the polling bureau's actions and doesn't harm the people.

If you need help, you should tell Director Kong that you want people and things.

Isn't it? ”

Kong Jie didn't react at all, and after a while, Fang nodded helplessly.

"Yes."

Feng Yun's words have all come to this, he can't say no.

"Alright, let's get ready.

First clean up the new house, and finally burn the marriage book, please the river god! ”

After saying this, the three of them began to prepare intensively.

First of all, the red candles and red satin used to decorate the new house, the fat man wrote these on paper and handed them to Kong Jie.

Kong Jie, who was confused, could only immediately arrange for the soldiers to prepare.

On this list, you can even see a set of phoenix crown xia veils that need to be prepared.

However, before the soldier left, Ma Ling'er, who had muttered a few words to Yan Qilin, quickly leaned into the soldier's ear and whispered a few words, and the soldier was obviously a little stunned, but then nodded and left quickly.

After an hour-long wait, several military vehicles finally drove into the village again.

The villagers were curious to see the soldiers carrying boxes of things from their cars.

Everyone in the village already knew that Zhang Dong's family had been wiped out overnight.

This was already a great tragedy in the world, but I never thought that it didn't take long to see a few people start to put up lights in this room, and the door was pasted with red happy words.

"What's going on? That kind of thing just happened to the old Zhang family, why is it going to start doing happy events now? ”

"I don't know, aren't these people here to investigate the case? What should I do when I get married? ”

"But isn't there something wrong with his family, who is he marrying?"

The villagers curiously gathered at the door and looked inside, but Kong Jie had already left an order, and the soldiers stopped the villagers outside the door one after another, preventing them from entering.

At this moment, the house was decorated with joy, but the fat man's eyes were still smeared with the bottom ash of the pot, so they could still see Zhang Dong constantly coming out of the house, hanging on the beams, and repeating the cycle.

Ma Ling'er whispered to the fat man with some uneasiness:

"Are we sure we don't need to ask him what he means, why do I think it's a little cruel to him like this."

"Oh, everyone is dead, and this family has nothing to do with him anymore.

Isn't this also to help their family redress their grievances, he must be understandable. ”

The fat man comforted himself and Ma Ling'er by himself, and in desperation, Ma Ling'er could only acquiesce to the matter.

Soon, under the joint arrangement of the three people and the soldiers, the house in front of them was transformed into a wedding room.

The red word for happiness became more festive and enthusiastic under the candlelight, and the only thing that was a little special was that there was a mirror standing in front of the red candle, but this mirror was covered with a red cloth.

On the left side of the bed in the back room, there is a dresser with the word "Xi", and the quilt and pillow are embroidered with the mandarin duck bed, and the peanuts and cinnamon and red dates are also placed on it.

There are 5 tables in the courtyard that is not too big, and four or five chairs are placed around each table.

However, to the surprise of the villagers outside the door, they have not received the wedding card so far, let alone received any notice that they are going to attend the wedding banquet.

So who are these wedding feasts for?

However, after the fat man and the others finished arranging the room, they ordered the soldiers to send the villagers home one after another, and no one was allowed to approach the place.

Then the fat man and Yan Qilin carried a basin of water and sprinkled it from the door to the river.

Loess mat road, still water splash street. This is the highest ritual in ancient times.

Later, by the river, the fat man burned a piece of yellow paper full of words.

The content on the yellow paper is a marriage letter:

[I made a thousand wishes in front of the pillow, and I wanted to rest and wait for the green mountains to rot, and the scales on the water surface were floating. Wait until the Yellow River is completely dry, and wait until the third watch sees the sun......]

At the same time, at the bottom, the fat man also wrote the words 'Worship the River God'.

At present, the wedding room has been successfully arranged, although there is a hanged ghost, but it is not unsightly.

And the marriage book has already been burned, so you just need to wait for the good night.

However, when the fat man returned to the house and opened the phoenix crown curtain that the soldier had found, he immediately noticed that something was wrong.

The fat man hurriedly found the soldiers who went to prepare, and asked with the phoenix crown in his hand:

"Why is this dress so big, where did you get the 6XL?"

The soldier pointed to Ma Ling'er next to him with some confusion:

"She said, let me find the biggest wedding dress."

When Ma Ling'er heard this, she immediately said confidently:

"Please, you don't want me to be a bride, do you?"

The fat man suddenly replied with some disdain:

"You're a woman, isn't it you, am I coming?"

Just as the fat man's words fell, he immediately noticed Yan Qilin and Ma Ling'er looking at him.

"No, you really want me to come?

How can I do such a thing? ”

While talking, the fat man threw the phoenix crown curtain to the side, and then waved his hand and walked towards the door.

But half an hour later, the fat man stood in the room with a reluctant face, and Ma Ling'er and Yan Qilin watched the excitement and helped him dress on the side.

Obviously, in the end, the fat man still compromised, but he warned the two more than once that if this matter was spread, he would have to die with the two of them.

At this point now, even if you have responded to the three books, six ceremonies, ten miles of red, the makeup of the phoenix crown and the xiaxia veil, and the formal ceremony of marrying a famous family.

A few tables outside the door were already stocked with a variety of dishes, but they were all made of paper.

Only the white rice is real, and in the white rice, there are three sticks of incense inserted in each.

This is not a wedding feast, in other words, it is not a wedding feast for people to eat.

Among the folk customs, this is a spiritual feast, which is common in the area around the mountain city.

The most famous spiritual banquet is the one that has been handed down to this day, but is always regarded as a legend: the yin and yang cauldron.
