Nearby, there was a woman crying quietly, and most of her hair on her head was already white. This is the Zhang family, the biological mother of the second son of the Zhang family, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, who can compare the pain to the mother. The sadness on his face is even richer than that of Zhang Shiping. If it weren't for the presence of the county honor, I was afraid, I wouldn't have cried quietly, but cried loudly.

"No, you're here. ”

Li Xian's eyes lit up when he saw Zhuang Buzhou's arrival, and he nodded and greeted.

"Lord Prefectural. ”

Zhuang Buzhou also bowed his hand and said.

"Well, no, you can go in and have a look. ”

Li Xian opened his mouth and gestured.

Zhuang Buzhou did not hesitate, now that the murder case is in front, it is natural to focus on the murder case. After nodding to the head of the Zhang family, he walked directly into the room.

In the room, a capable middle-aged man was probing the corpse on the side, it was Wu Yanzuo.

"Zhuang Zhutou, you are here, take a look, this second son Zhang, he is only afraid of death. ”

After Wu Yanzuo saw Zhuang Buzhou, he also sighed and spoke, with a thick look of jealousy on his face.

"How so. ”

Zhuang Buzhou looked at the bed, this look, with his heart, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, not that he died too miserably, but too weird, according to the news, when the second son of the Zhang family died, it was just early in the morning, and it was only a few hours away from now. Under normal circumstances, it is still a good corpse, but what appears in front of you is a dry corpse, which is more dry than a dry corpse, and the whole body is completely dry, without any moisture, as if it has been dead for countless years and dried in the desert.

This situation, no matter who it is, can be seen that it is definitely not an ordinary death.

"Zhang Ergongzi does not have any wounds on his body, and the time of death cannot be determined, in my experience, he was completely drained of the essence in his body in an instant, and he was separated from his body, and he would become the appearance of a dried corpse now. This way of dying is only afraid of ........ It's not an ordinary person's doing. ”

Wu Qizuo took a deep breath and said with a solemn face.

"Old Wu, what do you mean .........?"

Zhuang Buzhou frowned slightly and said slowly.

"It's evil. ”

Wu Qizuo said categorically.

Wu Qizuo is well-informed, I don't know how many strange events he has seen in his life, ordinary murder will not become like this, this corpse is more terrible than a thousand-year-old dry corpse, there is no essence left at all, under normal circumstances, even if it is a cultivation of magic skills, it will become like this. Only evil can instantly absorb yang essence. It became like this.

"In our Qingyun City, I haven't heard of evil spirits before, but now they suddenly appear, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, and I don't know how to commit such a murderous crime, I don't know what it is, whether it's a ghost, a demon or a weird, a strange orange, or a monster. I'm afraid this situation is beyond my ability. ”

Zhuang Buzhou heard it, shook his head and said.

I am also eighty percent sure in my heart, and this is the work of evil.

He is not unaware of the evil spirits, this world itself has all kinds of strange and evil things, and the existence of the extraordinary is not a legend.

In the case file room of the government office, not only the case files are stored, but also some basic martial arts exercises issued by the imperial court are placed, such as Zhuang Buzhou's "Zhou Tiangong" is obtained from it, but anyone who catches it quickly can choose exercises to practice from it, in addition to the exercises, there are also some special books, one of which is called "Strange Stories".

In this anecdote, all kinds of anecdotes, weird, and evil are recorded.

There are hundreds of weird things. It is said that there are many more that are not recorded.

It was from this anecdotal book that Zhuang Buzhou knew a trace of the truth about this world.

The truth is terrible. Once the weirdness appears, it will inevitably set off a bloody storm, and I don't know how many people died. Even a city will be annihilated.

He wants to become a monk, not only because of the abnormality of his lifespan, but also because he wants to live, to live better, only by becoming a monk and becoming a strong man can he have such qualifications.

"Inform the county honor, this kind of thing is no longer something we can interfere with, we must report to the Demon Suppression Division and send the Demon Suppression Guard. ”

Wu Qizuo shook his head and said.

This situation is beyond the ability of ordinary people.

Moreover, strange things can't be delayed, once there is a weird appearance, they must be reported as soon as possible, and special strong people will be sent to suppress it.

"Well, let's get out. ”

Zhuang Buzhou also nodded in agreement.

Leaving the room, coming outside, and seeing Li Xian, he said, "Xianzun, I'm afraid that this matter is beyond my ability." Not surprisingly, it was done by an evil spirit, and it was also necessary to go to the Demon Division. However, his subordinates suggested that a notice be posted in the city to recruit strange people and find down evil people. In this way, you can be prepared. ”

Now there are very few people in the city who are afraid that they don't know about the affairs of the Zhang family, and it is useless to conceal and strange things, in this world, it is not secret. Confidentiality is no longer necessary, and the most important thing is how to find out how to deal with it as quickly as possible.

Of course, Zhuang Buzhou also has alternative thoughts in it.

He is pursuing the path of cultivation, this time looking for strange people, if he can find real talents and real learning, then he may not have the opportunity to enter that extraordinary world.

The market in three days is an opportunity, and it is not a chance.

"The Demon Suppression Division may not send someone over. The notice must be posted, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and once the strange and evil things appear, they will be poisoned countless times. ”

Li Xian shook his head and sighed.

Demons are easy to kill, ghosts are easy to get rid of, monsters can be destroyed, but weird and strange oranges are the most difficult to eradicate. Now I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm afraid of weird oranges and the like. That's trouble, really big trouble.

Moreover, according to his understanding, the Demon Suppression Division is understaffed, and strange incidents have occurred in many places recently. Even if you report it and send people over, you don't know when it will be, the world has not been peaceful recently, and the court is said to be unstable.

"Lord Xianzun, the corpse must be burned and cremated immediately, otherwise, this corpse may be transformed. ”

Wu Qizuo also opened his mouth to suggest.

"Well, I'll discuss these with the head of the Zhang family. ”

Li Xian nodded and said: "According to the little guy who followed Zhang Ergongzi's side, that night, he went to the Qinglou to paint the boat, looking for flowers and asking willows, after entering the South Street, he saw a newly opened Qinglou, called the Red Mansion, Zhang Yuhai was curious, so he entered the Red Mansion, what happened in it, no one knows, the little guy didn't go in because he wanted to come back to Zhang Yuhai to take the money bag left at home, and watched Zhang Yuhai walk into the Red Mansion. When he came back with his money bag, he found that he could no longer find the red mansion. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that I saw Zhang Yuhai return home, and then he became what he is now. ”

Before this, the inquiry of the Zhang family had already had a result.

That little guy is called Li Ergou, and he is on the side now.

"Li Ergou, you are sure that you are entering a place called the Red Mansion. What are the characteristics of that place, have you noticed anything wrong before? ”

Zhuang Buzhou found Li Ergou and asked.

"Lord Zhuang, the little one has never told a lie, I only remember that there is a pair of red lanterns hanging at the gate of the Red Mansion, the lantern is really called a red, the Red Mansion is very big, very gorgeous, no one greets in front of the door, but when I saw the Red Mansion, I subconsciously wanted to go in. If it weren't for the son's order, if he went home and got the money bag, the little one would have gone in with him, and when he looked for it later, he couldn't find it again. It's weird, it must be evil. ”

Li Ergou's face was pale, and he was trembling all over, and until now, he has not recovered.

"Did you see anyone else entering the Red Mansion? ”

Zhuang Buzhou frowned slightly and asked.

"Yes, I saw several people enter the Red Mansion, but I didn't see anyone coming out. ”

Li Ergou continued.

"County Zun, subordinates apply, immediately explore the whole city, to find out if there is still a situation like Zhang Yuhai who has become a dry corpse and died, according to the strange theory, this time, Zhang Yuhai is definitely not the only one who died. ”

Zhuang Buzhou said in a deep voice.

In this era at night, there is not much entertainment at all, young men, visiting the Qinglou painting boat itself is the norm, and some rich sons, especially so. Zhang Yuhai is definitely not the only one who enters and exits the Red Mansion.

"Report to the county lord. Some people in the yamen came to report the case one after another, and someone in the family died, and the death was very strange, and the whole body did not have a trace of water, and it completely turned into a dried corpse. There were now no less than twenty corpses. ”

And at this moment, a catcher quickly rushed over and opened his mouth to report.

"It's a big problem. ”

Zhuang Buzhou and Li Xian glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of solemnity in their eyes.

It's too much of an impact.

It's out of control.

"According to the brothers' investigation, in South Street, and even in the entire Qingyun City, there is no Red Mansion they call at all. It's a weird demon, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. ”

Some brothers who had gone to the city to investigate returned and reported the investigation.

More than 20 people died at once, and they died so strangely that the city would inevitably panic and panic.

"Post a notice, the whole city is closed for the night, no one is allowed to go out at night, on the south street, the Qinglou painting boat, all closed, but anyone who encounters the red mansion is absolutely not allowed to enter. After Li Xian returned to the Yamen, he immediately gave an order.

Notices were soon posted all over the city.

Huge crowds of people flocked to it.

After seeing the notice, there was a lot of discussion.

"Oh my God, something really happened, something really happened. ”

"I also heard that the second son of the Zhang family also died, and the death was very terrifying, and his whole body turned into a dry corpse, absorbing the essence of his whole body. It's scary to think about. ”

"Not only the second son of the Zhang family, the third son of the Liu family, and the eldest young master of the Hu family, are also dead, and the way of death is the same as him, this is definitely not done by ordinary people, it is evil, demonic. According to legend, these people became like this when they came out after entering the Red Mansion. ”

"The Red Mansion must be evil, I see everyone, during this time, don't come out at night, even if it's evil, if you don't go in, you can't kill people. ”
