14. Soul dementors

Chen Qingtang sneered, and let the banshee open her teeth and claws there, shouting heartbreakingly.

Lin Yiming's illusion with the ten officials was not solved, and he surrounded the banshee, laughing like a fascination.

Chen Qingtang sighed and said, "Only drama can arouse the great excitement of all living beings. He groped on the back of the donkey for a while, and found a small and delicate pagoda from the blanket, and held it in his hand, only to see that the pagoda was more than a foot high, divided into seven layers, and each layer was carved beams and painted columns, which was very realistic. At the top of the pagoda, there is a milky white Buddha bone relic, which glows faintly by the moonlight.

Chen Qingtang threw the pagoda casually, fell in front of the coffin, he sealed his hands, recited the mantra of the Three Treasures, only to see that the pagoda gradually became larger, and finally grew to more than a zhang high, the door of the first layer of the tower opened, and a strange wind blew from inside, surrounding the banshee in the coffin, and after a while, the soul of the banshee was sucked out and rolled into the pagoda. The gate of the pagoda closes, and the pagoda gradually becomes smaller and returns to its previous appearance.

Chen Qingtang picked up the pagoda, looked through the small window, and saw that the banshee was transformed into an old woman, her hair was gone, her teeth were loose, her skin was down, and the flesh of her limbs was gone, revealing Bai Sensen's bones. The banshee became like this, and in the midst of the group of maidens, silently left tears and let out a miserable wail.

"When you have boiled all the girls around you into old women, I will let you out. Chen Qingtang said and put the pagoda back into the blanket.

After receiving the soul of the banshee, everyone's illusion was unraveled, and the officials looked at each other as if they were in another world.

Lin Yiming looked at the banshee in the coffin again, his eyes were dull, and his saliva was flowing, like a walking corpse.

"This ...... Dao Chief?" Lin Yiming looked at Chen Qingtang, hoping that Lao Dao would be able to explain a thing or two.

Chen Qingtang said with a smile: "Just catch her back and hand her over." ”

The officials were overjoyed, rushed over, dragged the banshee out of the coffin, tied up the five flowers, and packed the human skin and internal organs in the coffin, ready to return to the yamen for business.

Chen Qingtang walked in front of Erlang and arched his hand, and said, "This matter has Lao Erlang." ”

Erlang also saluted: "The Taoist is polite, if it is useful to Erlang in the future, even if the Taoist chief speaks, he will definitely go to the soup." ”

"Thank you. ”

Erlang let out a long howl and left the cemetery with a group of men.

Chen Qingtang was sent back to the county government with the official. Lin Yiming said that life counts, and after reporting to his father, Zhang Qingyin was released from the cell.

Lin Yiming said solemnly: "This murder case, thanks to the Taoist chief, changed others, it is ironclad that the case will not be solved, I don't know what to do in the future? If there is another strange case in the Yamen in the future, I don't know where to find you?"

Chen Qingtang twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Five miles east of the city, there is a dilapidated Taoist temple, if the son has something, you can go there to find me." ”

"That's great!" Lin Yiming nodded yes.

"Farewell. Chen Qingtang left the yamen with Zhang Qingyin.

Zhang Qingyin asked, "Uncle, where are we going?"

Chen Qingtang asked, "Do you want to go home to see your father?"

"I want to ......think about it," Zhang Qingyin pondered for a moment and said: "I'm afraid that my stepmother will be resentful when she sees me, and she can't help me, but she spills her resentment on my father." I'll travel around with my uncle. ”

"It's fine. While talking, the two came to a river, and Chen Qingtang said: "You go down to the river to take a bath, the smell on your body can't be described in words." ”

"Good. Zhang Qingyin stripped naked, jumped into the river to take a bath, Chen Qingtang was fishing by the river, and when Zhang Qingyin finished taking a bath, Chen Qingtang had already caught more than a dozen big fish. Lao Dao took a straw rope and threaded the gills of the fish, carried the fish, took Zhang Qingyin to the market, exchanged the fish for five catties of white noodles, and then, left the county seat, went straight to the east of the city, the two walked for five miles, stopped, but saw a dilapidated Taoist temple on the side of the road, the plaque was covered with moss, the two doors had long been gone, overgrown with weeds, a dilapidated scene.

Zhang Qingyin raised his head and saw that there were three rare golden characters on the plaque - Rong Ruotang.

"Could it be that this is the ......" Zhang Qingyin was halfway through his words, but saw Chen Qingtang take a step forward, knelt on the ground, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Master, unfilial apprentice...... Qingtang ...... It's back. ”
