Night falls, and the crescent moon hangs.

In the smoke of cooking, the smell of food began to waft through the small mountain village.

To put it simply, there is a large red brick house in Dapeng Village, which is one of the few large houses in the village.

The owner of the house is called Peng Xinyou, he was out at a young age, he started by selling mountain goods, and the business was doing well, and he earned the house.

But not long after the house was built, one day he suddenly had a banquet in the house for a friend of the officials he had met in Fucheng, and then he took his wife and family to live in Fucheng.

When the house was vacated, it was deserted, and then ghosts were attracted.

Xie Toad nodded and said: "This kind of thing is very common, lonely souls and wild ghosts are nostalgic for the world, and if they have nowhere to go, they will find an ownerless empty house to live in." But such ghosts don't hurt people, to put it bluntly, they just want to find a place to stay. ”

The patriarch patted his thigh and said: "Dao Chang Gao Jian! Yes, this ghost is not harmful, but it is scary! Especially at night, whoever walks around the house, it suddenly appears, and when it comes out, it cries at people, it is too scary, and if a child bumps into it once, he will be scared out of his yang qi and get sick." ”

Wang Qilin said: "It's simple, let's not live in it later, but wait for it to come out first, and let's drive it away after it comes out, how about it?"

Shen Yi: "Okay, where is the chicken leg of the spraying monk?"

Eat and drink enough, the big guy is ready to work.

First of all, you have to fish for ghosts, and find someone to catch the ghosts.

You look at me, I look at you, and then we look at you together—

Fish Hood asked in a panic, "What do you all see me doing?"

Wang Qilin said confidently: "Here you are the most suitable for fishing for ghosts, and you can also spell, so you don't have to be afraid of ghosts." ”

Fish Hood widened his eyes and said, "I'm from Miaoyin Pavilion, my spells, my spells are not good." ”

Xie Toad smiled happily: "Immeasurable Tianzun, don't be afraid of the fish girl, there is a lonely ghost in this house, it is afraid of you." ”

The fish cover asked cautiously: "Brothers, uncles, can you change someone?"

Wang Qilin stretched out his hands at her to express regret.

There's really no way to change people, and the ghost doesn't dare to come out if you change someone else.

But the fish cover shook his head firmly at him: "I don't hug you." ”

Wang Qilin looked down at his posture in astonishment, and asked left and right, "Do I mean to ask for a hug?"

Shen nodded.

Ma Ming nodded.

Xie Toad nodded.

Xu Da also opened his arms directly: "Seventh Master, if you want to hug me, hug me." ”

"Get out!"

"Why are you scolding? I'll just go. The fish cover trembled aggrievedly, and walked towards the mansion with a desperate face.

At this time, a drama sounded behind her: "The wind is sluggish, the water is cold, and ......"

Wang Qilin kicked Xu Da: "I told you to go, didn't you hear?"

The fish cover bit his lip and ran into the haunted house with tears in his eyes.

Wang Qilin wanted to explain to her, but she was gone.

So he asked Xie Toad, "Dao Chief, where is Miaoyin Pavilion?"

Xie Toad saw the figure of the fish cover disappear into the old mansion before he spoke: "Miaoyin Pavilion is the favorite place of heroes in the world. ”

Wang Qilin was still analyzing this sentence, and Xu Da's eyes were already bright: "Goolan Courtyard on the rivers and lakes?"

Xie Toad smiled and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, what Lord Xu said is too filthy! Miaoyin Pavilion recruits the world's distinctive disciples, in order to make friends with the world's heroes, they don't do the meat business, they pay attention to feelings, so that the disciples and heroes form a fairy couple, in order to strengthen the sect. ”

"What if some heroes like men?" asked Xu Da with concern.

Xie Toad said: "Miaoyin Pavilion is not only for female disciples. ”

Shen Yi gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Amitabha, top quack!"

Wang Qilin smiled: "You see that they have cultivated this disciple, they are dumbfounded, how can this be a big hero?"

Xie Toad pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Wang, do you think she is stupid?"

Wang Qilin said: "Of course, don't you feel like this?"

Xie Toad said: "Immeasurable Tianzun, it has been two years since she set foot on the rivers and lakes to find her sister, she should have traveled a lot of places in the past two years, and then she is safe and sound so far, do you think she will be a nerd?"

Xu Da said: "That's right, Seventh Master, the last one you thought was a fool was a fake Qin Tao, right?

Wang Qilin asked, "Then she is pretending?"

Xie Toad shook his head slowly: "Look slowly, just like what you said Seventh Master, it can't be fake, it can't be fake." ”

He looked at the courtyard with an intriguing expression on his face.

Jiuliu, who was dozing at his feet, suddenly shook his head, and he got up and tilted his head at the haunted house, and the dog's face showed a confused look.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin understood: "The ghost has appeared, but why didn't she send a signal?

Ma Ming walked from the main entrance, Xu Da climbed the south wall, Wang Qilin walked on the east wall, Xie Toad flew to the west wall, and Shen Yi went directly to the roof from behind.

Five men surrounded the house.

The ghost house is a small house, there are only six houses, it is a house due north, there are wings in the east and west, and a courtyard in the middle.

At this time, a girl was wandering around the courtyard, and behind the girl was a young man with a pale face......

The young man was like a kite, its feet did not touch the ground, but it was just attached to the back of the fish cover, and the fish cover walked forward and floated forward with it, and the fish cover stopped and stopped, and the fish cover turned around and it moved sideways.

The fish hood did not detect its existence......

The girl carefully circled the yard with her head down, muttering as she walked, "Don't come out, don't come out, don't come out." Don't look for me, don't look for me, don't look for me!"

Everyone entered the door, climbed the wall and climbed the wall, the sound was everywhere, and the fish cover subconsciously looked up.

She looked to the door and saw Ma Ming.

Ma Ming saw the ghost behind her, and then habitually undressed.

The fish cover let out a terrible scream on the spot: "Help!"

I don't know if I was rushed by yang energy or frightened by her screams, the ghost rushed into the house, Wang Qilin jumped down from the wall and threw the eight meows to her, and said: "Ma Ye is not a hooligan, he has a carved god map on his back!"

Shen Yi was about to jump down, but Wang Qilin hurriedly said: "Condescending, don't let this ghost run away!"

The door of the house was guarded by General Tie, but there was Xu Da, an expert in unlocking, so he stepped up and opened the door.

Jiuliu jumped in like a hungry wolf, and the momentum was terrifying!

But no one expected that the ground in the house was much lower than the ground in the yard, and Nine-Six-Four stepped on the air, and fell over after running in.

It got up, sniffled, ran to the bedroom, and continued to mum at a big kang after entering the door.

Wang Qilin picked up Jiuliu and blew his face on it, this time the fall was not bad, but it scared it.

Judging from Jiuliu's tracking, the ghost got into the fire kang.

Wang Qilin looked at the fire kang, this fire kang was a little weird, it was sealed with bricks and stones, and it was built high, which could get close to the chest of an adult man.

After the others entered the house, they also wondered: "Hey, why is the kang in this room so tall?"

Wang Qilin said: "Call the clan elder." ”

The patriarch hurried in, but when he reached the door, he did not dare to go inside.

Seeing this, Xu Da directly revealed his identity: "We are listening to the heavenly prison, and the young man inside is the iron captain of our Pingyang Mansion, you can go in with confidence, even if there is a demon hidden in this house, it can't hurt you in the slightest!"

"Tie Wei, what kind of official is this?" the clan elder was stunned.

He has stayed in such a small village all his life, for him, the county is the master, and then the emperor, and the official position of Tie Wei is too empty.

A man who followed behind him had some insight, and he said: "Second uncle, people are officials who listen to the heavenly prison, don't ask, hurry in, the official wants to ask you." ”

When they entered the house and bowed their heads, Wang Qilin pulled them up and asked, "Why is there such a strange big kang in this house?"

The clan elder also wondered, and said, "That's right, how can Xinyou's family have such a big kang?"

Another man smiled and said, "Second uncle, have you forgotten?" Before Xinyou moved away, he once invited the village people and the official master in the city, and he first found the strong laborers in the village to help him pick bricks and stones to seal the bed and build a big kang inside, and then he held a banquet. ”

The patriarch suddenly patted his head and said: "Oh, I'm sorry for the official master, the villain is old, his brain is confused, and he has forgotten this old past." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "He sealed the bed in at that time?"

The man said: "Oh, that's the case, Brother Xinyou said that this bed is their family heirloom, but they want to move, this big bed is too heavy to move, but it can be left in the empty house and is afraid of being stolen, so I built a kang with bricks and stones to hide it!"

Wang Qilin shook his head and waved his hand: "Call someone, smash it open." ”

"Huh?" the man was stunned.

The clan elder pushed him and said, "What do you say, what do you do, ah, what? Hurry up and call someone, anyway, it's a matter of dismantling the kang." ”

Although he has a bad memory, he has rich life experience, and he has already guessed the reason for Wang Qilin's arrangement: "My lord, is that ghost related to the bed below?"

Wang Qilin said: "Just open it and you'll know." ”

Xu Da asked Xie Toad: "Can this bed still have the effect of attracting ghosts? What kind of wood can attract ghosts?"

Xie Toad glanced at Wang Qilin, shook his head and said, "This ghost shouldn't have been attracted by the bed." ”

The peasant men did not lack strength, they wielded hammers, iron picks and hoes and worked very hard, but this fire kang was built very strongly, and there were stone slabs on the outside and clay poured between them, which was really impermeable!

The men didn't break it after working for a while, Xu Da was impatient, brandished a mace and knocked it up, and Bangbang demolished one wall in a few clicks.

The envious eyes of the people in the village were green: "This is an animal!"

"With this body and strength, the cultivated land is worth a cow!"

"If he is not an official but a farmer, heh, it is really God's reward to eat!"

Xu Da dismantled the kang and revealed a carved solid wood bed inside.

Wang Qilin nodded, Xu Da and Shen went up to lift the bed board, and Ma Ming stepped forward with a torch:

Under the bed board is a bed quilt, lift the quilt, and a withered corpse appears!

The ghost was attached to the corpse.

At this time, the ghost is hidden, and ordinary people can't see it, but it is even more terrifying to see a dry corpse in the bed at night, and several men huddle together and shout: "Dead!"

Seeing this corpse, the group understood what was going on, and Ma Ming said with a solemn face: "No wonder I was in a hurry to move, it turned out to be a murder and sealed people in the bed!"

Xie Toad shook his head and said, "This person was not sealed here after being killed, but was sealed inside alive and then suffocated." ”

Ma Ming was shocked and shouted, "What?"

Wang Qilin asked the clan elder: "I'll ask you ......"

"Adults spare their lives, no, adults are aware of it, the villain has nothing to do with this matter, the villain didn't kill anyone. The patriarch was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed.

Wang Qilin hurriedly helped him up and said: "Of course you didn't kill anyone, it was Peng Xinyou who killed people, I want to ask you one thing, after Peng Xinyou moved away, did you lose anyone in your village?"

The clan elder shook his head vigorously, and a man said: "There is no one lost in our village, but there is a merchant who often comes to the village is gone, some people outside say that he fell off the cliff when he walked the mountain road, and his bones are gone, and some people say that he hooked up with a girl in Liang Village and ran away!"

Wang Qilin said: "This merchant is young, about half a head taller than that girl, and he is quite handsome, especially with a very high nose, right?"

The man was shocked: "How do you know, my lord?"

Wang Qilin said: "Because I saw that ghost like this, since you know this merchant, when you saw the ghost, you didn't recognize his appearance?"

The man shook his head vigorously and said, "We haven't seen the ghost, we can only see a miserable white figure swaying around in this house." ”

Wang Qilin was about to speak, when the patriarch clapped his hands and said, "Ouch, I know what's going on!

The patriarch pointed to the corpse and said: "My lord, this is the lost merchant, isn't it? Ouch! This merchant is not a serious person, he can speak well and has goods by his side, he likes to mix with the big girl and the little daughter-in-law the most, Xinyou's daughter-in-law is young and coquettish, alas, Xinyou has been doing business abroad for many years and has not come back, it must be that the two of them have hooked up and become adulterous!"

The others reacted and nodded:

"Yes, he's just. ”

"It must be the last time Xinyou came back and saw him and his daughter-in-law doing something unseemly, and in a fit of rage, he killed someone and hid the body in the bed. ”

I have long seen that Xinyou's daughter-in-law is not a serious person, but Xinyou's mother-in-law has big breasts, alas!"

Hearing this, the fish cover quickly picked up the eight meows nervously.

Eight meow's eyes narrowed into a slit, and her head leaned to the side, comfortable!

Wang Qilin acquiesced to their speculation, he didn't tell these people that Peng Xinyou didn't kill people on the spot, but knocked people unconscious and hid them in the bed, and then sealed the bed with thick masonry and stone, and suffocated the merchant to death, otherwise the merchant would not become an earthbound spirit.

And there is another point that can prove his guess, Peng Xinyou must have known that the merchant was not dead at that time, so he repaired the bricks and stones around the bed to be unusually thick, so that when he locked the door, no matter how the merchant shouted hoarsely, the people in the village could not hear the sound!

It's a werewolf!

He's going to let the merchant die of despair little by little!

Wang Qilin understood this, and said to Xie Toad: "But after this person died, he only turned into a little ghost? With the fear and resentment before his death, he can at least turn into a big ghost, right?"

Xie Toad pointed to the bed and said, "This Peng Xinyou has traveled from south to north, I'm afraid he also knows some doorways, you see, what's inside?"

Wang Qilin said: "Ordinary futon, I've seen it, what's wrong with this?"

Xie Toad smiled: "The quilt is not ordinary, the bedding can ward off evil spirits!"

"There is a folk saying that you naturally know, called the sky is the quilt and the ground is the bed, and the futon is the most common projection of the sky in the world. You see, people live with their feet on the earth and the sky above their heads, and then lie on the bed with the quilt and sleep, there is a large space between the sky and the earth, this is the world, and there is also a small space between the quilt and the bed, isn't this a small world?"

"Also, the quilt is made of cloth and cotton, and the cloth is made of cannibalizing mulberry silk, whether it is mulberry leaves or cotton, they are full of sunlight and grow, they contain a little yang energy, which can restrain the yin energy of ghosts. And the bedding often has to bask in the sun, which can dispel the yin and replenish the yang, in short, the bedding itself is the most yang thing in the home, which can ward off evil and drive away yin. ”

Wang Qilin was shocked and said, "Peng Xinyou wrapped the merchant with a bunch of quilts, and then he didn't become an evil ghost?"

The fish cover said positively: "So that's the case, no wonder sometimes I feel like a ghost appears at night, and then I just need to get into the quilt and roll around and hide myself inside, and it will be fine, it turns out that the quilt protects me!"

Xie Toad smiled: "This shows that the ghosts you have encountered are all lonely souls and wild ghosts, and the evil ghosts and powerful ghosts are all tortured and resentful before death. This merchant is afraid that he is not resentful in his heart, and he seduces other people's wives, although the crime is not death, but he must also be punished. ”

Wang Qilin said: "Okay, this matter is over so far, and the local yamen will solve the rest." The facts are all there and the evidence is conclusive, Peng Xinyou should not be able to escape the sanctions of national law. By the way, there is a woman in Liang Village who is missing, right?"

The men nodded in unison.

Wang Qilin said: "Let the official check on this woman's husband, she was not abducted by the merchant, I am afraid that she also encountered an accident, but it just so happened that this merchant who likes to hook up with his wife disappeared, and someone splashed dirty water on his head, so that the local catcher quickly caught her family and inquired carefully, and he will definitely be able to find out the clues!"

Xie Toad stroked his beard and smiled: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the Seventh Master is really as careful as a hair. ”

The fish cover also laughed, and a small pear vortex appeared on the left cheek of the smile.

Wang Qilin asked her with interest, "What are you laughing at?"

The fish cover said in a low voice: "A lonely soul and wild ghost, it could have been dispersed casually, but you found out two cases from it, Lord Shen is right, you are an official who is very good at solving cases." ”

"And then you think your sister's case will be solved?"

The fish hood nodded.

Wang Qilin smiled: "You feel right, I will continue to investigate your sister's case." ”

The fish cover suddenly smiled brighter.

They were officials who listened to the heavenly prison and solved the haunting matter in the village, and the whole village of Dapeng was respectful, not only did they clean up the biggest house and change them to new beds, but the clan elders also asked them if they wanted a girl to warm the bed.

Wang Qilin flatly refused, the last one who was yellow in the village is now lying in the bed, he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps.

The next morning, when he got up, he touched the robe in his arms, and the Seven Treasures Wish Robe, which he had stuffed into his arms before going to bed, was indeed refined.

The robe disappeared and was replaced by a turquoise one-piece garment.

This garment is made of gold wire, and there are small jade plaques on it, and the jade plaques are engraved with zigzag Tianzhu characters, which are Buddhist scriptures at a glance.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin was stunned, what is this? Golden jade clothes? But isn't the golden jade clothes for the dead?

The gold thread has magical malleability, and this garment does not look big, but he can easily wear it.

It's a pity that the introduction of the clothes is all Tianzhu text, he can't understand it, and he doesn't know where the clothes come from.

At this time, breakfast was ready in the village, and the clan elders came to call them to eat.

Half of the village prepared breakfast for them, it was really varied, and it was even more lively than a dinner party.

Wang Qilin didn't eat their food in vain, and after wiping his mouth, he took out the mirage town filthy talisman, deducted a few talismans and handed them to the clan elder, and said: "You find a family in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the village to paste a talisman, so as to ensure that your village will not be troubled by lonely souls and wild ghosts in the future." ”

There are people in the village who have gone out to see the world, and when they learned that this talisman was given by the Heavenly Supervisor Tie Wei, they hurriedly said to the clan elder: "This talisman is not exchanged, Lord Tie Wei is a big official, even if the county magistrate comes, he has to kneel and salute him!"

The clan elder led the people in the village to kneel down together: "Ah, the adult forgives the sin, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, the villain doesn't know that the adult is such a big official, the villain doesn't know that the adult is a private visit, yesterday only prepared a few glasses of thin wine to welcome you off the horse, a capital crime, this is a capital crime!"

Wang Qilin helped him up and said with a smile: "What are you guilty of?" Old man, get up quickly, this official is listening to the heavenly prison on an errand, all his actions are to protect the people from the invasion of demons and evils, get up quickly, don't kill me!"

"My lord is a good official!"

"No wonder he became a big official at a young age, this mind and this courage!"

"The girl next to him doesn't have an ordinary mind!"

Accepting the mirage charm he bestowed, the whole village was grateful, and when they left, the clan elder still took the whole village to kneel at the entrance of the village to send each other off.

Wang Qilin said: "This trip is worth it, although I couldn't get to Fucheng early, but it did me a favor and gave me an inspiration." ”

"Did you enjoy the addiction of the Earth Emperor?" Shen Yi said with a big grin.

Ma Ming glared at him and said, "Great monk, don't talk nonsense, if this is heard by someone in Fucheng, my lord is afraid that he will get into trouble!"

Shen Yi is not afraid of anyone, he is afraid of Ma Ming, specifically afraid of the king of Ma Ming's back.

Once King Matou Ming appears, he will definitely beat him out of the of this bad disciple who eats meat and drinks alcohol.

Wang Qilin smiled: "Don't make trouble, I thought of a way to gain a firm foothold in Fucheng!"

"The Wu family probably won't have a good impression of me, the new captain, and they should find a way to deal with me, but if I win a reputation among the people, it won't be easy for them to deal with me again. ”

"How are you going to win word of mouth?" Xu Da asked.

Wang Qilin squeezed his eyes at him and said, "Mountain people have their own tricks!"
