Chapter 22: Hell in broad daylight
"It's you." Jiang Xianya turned her head to look at the man in front of her, slightly surprised.
She heard him call Qi Jiu "Ninth Uncle", and the people who followed him yesterday called him Shiziye, which shows that he is also a member of the royal family.
I didn't expect such a person to help her drag the body up from the river.
Isn't it supposed to be disgusting?
In addition to disgust, I must also feel very taboo, this is a dead corpse after all.
"My name is Qi Chengshuo, I am Qi Jiu's cousin, since Miss Jiang is already the daughter of my ninth uncle, then call me cousin, we are a family." Qi Chengshuo said with a smile.
Early in the morning, he came to help the little girl drag the dead body, and he was cheeky to pull the relationship, of course, he had something to ask for.
After going back yesterday, Qi Chengshuo stayed up all night.
The bronze mask was begged for by his grandfather when he went to Huangjue Temple, and he handed it to him with his own hands, telling him that he must wear this mask to hide his identity.
Grandfather also said that this mask was opened by a high monk, not only can bless him with a safe journey, but also turn evil into good fortune, as long as there is a mask, he is not afraid of those ghosts and evil, I didn't expect ...... There is a powerful ghost hidden in this mask, and he wants to take the life of Uncle Jiu.
He wondered if his grandfather had anything to do with it, if he knew the real purpose of the mask, and had him bring it on purpose.
If even his dearest and most respected grandfather did such a thing, Qi Chengshuo really didn't know what this world would become.
Do people in the royal family care so much about that position?
The emperor killed many people in order to seize the throne, and after ascending the throne, in order to stabilize the government, he killed more people.
The emperor had eight brothers, killed six, and the only remaining one was Qi Chengshuo's grandfather.
Because they are brothers of the same mother, and they are different from others in the end.
"For your sake, I will get this corpse up for me, and say, what is the matter? Jiang Xianya turned her head and asked lightly.
"Can it ...... Let me wash my hands and talk about it in detail? Qi Chengshuo spread out his hand and said with some disgust.
If you have touched the hands of a dead body, you have to wash them first, which is not only dirty, but also very unlucky.
"Go upstream, don't wash around here, because it's all stained with the blood of the corpses, and I can't see it, but I can smell it." After Jiang Xianya finished speaking, she took the lead and walked forward.
She's also quite disgusted.
The two of them walked about ten zhang away, and Jiang Xianya stopped: "That's it, the river water here is not polluted by corpses." ”
Qi Chengshuo hurriedly bowed his head.
After the two washed their hands, Qi Chengshuo took out the bronze mask from his arms.
"Miss Jiang, I want to know, is this bronze mask deliberately given to me by my grandfather, I want to know, is he trying to harm Uncle Jiu, can you deduce?" Qi Chengshuo asked in a low voice.
He can also send someone back to the capital to ask, the key is ...... His grandfather might not have told him the truth.
Moreover, Qi Chengshuo was anxious to know the answer.
He was afraid that the people closest to him would also become hateful.
"Yes." Jiang Xianya nodded: "Because it is to deduce your closest relatives, if there is an introduction, then the answer must be more accurate." ”
"What introduction do you need?" Qi Chengshuo hurriedly asked.
"You don't have to have too much blood, just one or two drops, I need to draw a simple rune array." Jiang Xianya said as she walked.
"Okay." Qi Chengshuo didn't say a word, and hurriedly took out the dagger from his arms, wanting to cut his finger to get blood.
"Don't worry, I have other things to deal with, and I'll help you calculate it later." Jiang Xianya said and suddenly stopped: "One hundred taels." ”
Don't give the money to your door in vain.
The Ye family is not rich now, and she doesn't want to eat and live for nothing.
"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, you know this truth!" Seeing that Qi Chengshuo was silent, Jiang Xianya couldn't help frowning.
One hundred taels of silver, she didn't want much.
The occultists of the Taiyi Sect, every time they go down the mountain to help the court and those dignitaries deal with some tricky things, they collect a lot of silver, otherwise...... How can you afford to raise disciples in the sect?
Without enough money to meet their daily needs, how could they practice with peace of mind?
Of course, when there is a great chaos or plague in the world, the people of Taiyi will not collect silver when they come to the rescue of the common people.
One in and one out, but also forget the cause and effect.
"I understand." Qi Chengshuo nodded hurriedly: "I came out in a bit of a hurry today, I didn't bring it, I will personally send it to the girl later." ”
Jiang Xianya nodded and didn't say much.
She looked at the female corpse on the ground, and after examining it carefully, she pinched the seal with both hands, and used special power to verify it again, and her brows furrowed even tighter.
"This is a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, the time of death was about an hour or two ago, that is, in the middle of the night yesterday, her head was beaten with a stone more than a dozen times, the flesh and blood had been smashed, and a face was ruined, and it was difficult to determine her original appearance."
"The girl will perform an autopsy." Qi Chengshuo was a little surprised.
This girl was born in the countryside, but she has the skills of a Taoist priest, which is really unbelievable.
However, Qi Shuo has already learned her skills in the past two days.
He even suspected that this girl was not an ordinary Taoist priest, but a metascopyist of the Taiyi Sect.
It's just that...... Some of them can't be explained, because the occultists of the Taiyi Sect have all practiced in the sect since childhood.
And Jiang Xianya, but he grew up in Qingya Village, he asked people to check, the previous Jiang Xianya was an ordinary little girl, weak and bulliable, compared with the one standing in front of him now, it was a world of difference.
Of course, everyone has their own secrets, and Qi Chengshuo will not delve into them.
"Just scratching the surface." After Jiang Xianya finished speaking, she felt a trace of strangeness, she turned her head to look at Qi Chengshuo's back, and the corners of her mouth stiffened slightly.
A woman in a goose yellow dress stood behind Qi Chengshuo, only half a foot away from him.
Jiang Xianya looked at the woman, and then at the female corpse lying on the ground, what else did she not understand?
This is because people are too angry after being killed, and their souls can't enter the underworld, so they can only wander in the world.
Of course, when people find it, they must want to take revenge.
Seeing ghosts in broad daylight is really not easy, Jiang Xianya guessed that this female ghost should have something special on her, otherwise it would be difficult for ghosts to appear during the day.
At this moment, Ye Miaoyun came over with someone who helped.
"The female corpse has been fished up, so I'm tired of my uncle going to the government and reporting to the official." Jiang Xianya turned her head and said.
"Okay." Ye Xianwen nodded hurriedly.
Their Ye family is less than a mile away from here, but they didn't expect that someone would die in this river, and the head of this female corpse was still smashed with flesh and blood, which was really terrifying.
Everyone was a little scared, this is a normal reaction after seeing a dead person, but ...... Jiang Xianya went to find that his eldest cousin Ye Qingze's face was extremely pale, and his whole body was still trembling, which was a bit abnormal.
"Big cousin knows this girl?" Jiang Xianya asked.
"I don't know, I don't know her." Ye Qingze suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished roaring, the female ghost, who had been a few feet away from everyone, suddenly pounced towards Ye Qingze.
