Xiaoshui Township and Fulong Township are a little far away, one is in the east of the county and the other is in the west of the county.

You don't need to ride a horse to go to Xiaoshui Township from Fulong Township, you can take a boat, and you can reach Xiaoshui Township by going upriver from Fulong River.

As the name suggests, the township is dotted with small rivers that converge to form a tributary of the Fulong River.

However, the Fulong River is only a tributary, which eventually joins the Qinjiang River.

The Qinjiang River is still only a tributary, and it eventually joins the Yellow River.

The group got on the boat, and the boatman swayed the oar and sang the fishing song: "Fishing in Xiaxi Bay, grasshoppers are home to the west and the east......"

Wang Qilin happily stood at the stern of the boat and sang along: "The snow on the river, the wind on the Pubian, smiling and not sighing for poverty......"

The reason why he stood at the stern of the boat was so that he could face due east and enjoy the grandeur of the rising sun.

In the hot weather, farmers and fishermen alike take advantage of the morning when the sun rises to work, so that they can go home to rest in the first half of the day.

There are patches of soybean fields on the shore, and the pods are ripe, and Xu Da saw that there was a guy making a fire on the boat, so he asked him to go to the shore by boat and go up to carry a bag to pick up other people's mung pods.

The host came in a hurry, and when he saw them in official uniforms, he dared not speak angrily.

Shen Yi stretched out his hand and said, "Don't panic, everyone, watch me perform." ”

He showed the ring scar on his head, flicked the steel gun in his hand into a wand, and then stepped forward to salute the old farmer and chanted: "Amitabha, this donor is invited, the little monk Shen Yi, passing through the treasure land, is a little hungry, and wants to make a ......fate for you."

The old farmer swallowed his anger and said, "This is broad daylight, you are adults, not very good?"

He didn't dare to use the word 'steal'.

Xu Da laughed, he handed out a few copper baht and said, "Don't worry, fellow, we are not thieves." ”

The old farmer who received the money grinned, and enthusiastically pulled him to the side: "My lord, my family also grows watermelons, but they are sweet, how about two?"

After a while, Shen Yi came back with a bag of mung pods, and said to Wang Qilin: "Seventh Master, I have turned it in." ”

Xu Da hugged two big watermelons and shouted, "You make a fart, I bought it!"

Shen Yi ignored him, he went to cook beans, and when he was looking for salt, he found a carp, and his eyes lit up: "Amitabha, there are still fish? ”

The boat family smiled bitterly: "The master is really a meat vegetarian, turn it to you, turn it into you." ”

Xu Da asked the boatman to cut the watermelon, and he came to rock the oar himself.

He was very fond of holding boats, and as he rocked the boat, he said, "You can't guess what I wanted when I was a child." ”

Wang Qilin said: "Do you want to be a fisherman?"

"Look, I'll just say you can't guess, my dream when I was a child was to open a green house!"

Ma Ming squirted out a mouthful of watermelon: "This ideal is very Xu Ye." ”

The mung beans were quickly cooked, and they sat around eating the mung beans and blowing the morning breeze, but they were also happy.

The villages in Xiaoshui Township all live by the water, and the families who had the accident lived not far from the river, and when they arrived at the land, Ma Ming took them straight to their destination.

This one is easy to find, with white lanterns hanging at the door, and the neighbors on the left and right are pointing at their house when they are in the shade.

Ma Ming said: "The old man who died in this family is named Zheng Paoji, his wife died early, there are only two sons and two daughters in the family, these four children are raised by him, so it is still filial, this family has a good life in the township, and the funeral was supposed to be a big event, but now it has encountered strange things and has become a laughing stock in the township." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Zheng Paoji?" is a bit strange. ”

Ma Ming said: "Oh, this is because the old man of the Zheng family lived by raising chickens before his death, and he raised chickens free-range, just like raising sheep to drive them around, so he got the nickname of 'Running Chicken Old Man', and after a long time, everyone called him Zheng Running Chicken." ”

Xu Da frowned, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Ma Ming thought he had discovered something, so he asked, "Master Xu, what are you thinking?"

"Don't ask. Wang Qilin and Xie Toad said in unison.

But it was too late.

Xu Da heard him ask and said solemnly: "I'm thinking, fortunately this old man is a chicken herder, if he kills chickens, what do you say he will be called?"

"Zheng kills chickens?" Shen Yi asked.

Xu Da shook his head: "No, I think it's Zheng Chicken!"

Wang Qilin asked him to go to the village to inquire about the family, and he said: "I once heard that if the old man was wronged in his life, his soul would not leave his body after death, so it would be difficult for the coffin to be moved. ”

Xie Toad nodded and said, "There is such a thing, this is going to turn into an earth-bound spirit." There is also a kind of thing that he promised others before his death, something very important, and then did not do it, so that his coffin could not be lifted, and he had to fulfill this promise. Also, if the old man has a very strong obsession and his soul refuses to leave, he can't lift the coffin......"

This kind of thing is too common, and Xie Toad said more than a dozen guesses in one breath.

Wang Qilin nodded and walked into the door, and two cats sat up in the shadows in the corner and stared at them.

There were also some paper figures and paper horses placed in the corner, so that when the two cats suddenly opened their eyes, Shen Yi was frightened, and shouted horizontally with his wand: "Amitabha!

When the people in the house heard the voice and came out, Wang Qilin pulled Shen one by one and said, "Okay, don't be ashamed, the sun is so big and the sun is so hot, what are you afraid of?"

Shen Yi had a good face, raised his head and said: "Who is scared? Amitabha, I see that these two cats are very similar to evil demons, you see, ordinary cats are very timid, they see that we should run away, why do they sit there and stare at us?"

"Because it's a domestic cat. Ma Ming said.

Two middle-aged men came out of the house, and when they saw the group, they quickly knelt down and saluted: "Zheng Dapeng, Zheng Dahu, and Zheng Dahu, the grass people, meet the adults." ”

Ma Ming became familiar with them, and went up and beckoned: "You guys get up, this is Lord Dayin of this county, I don't know about your family's affairs, so I ask Lord Wang to come and see, he is a master, and he will definitely be able to help you." ”

Zheng Dapeng was about to burst into tears when he heard this, he kowtowed and said, "Please Lord Wang is the master of the grass people." ”

"What's wrong?"

"It's just that my father's coffin can't be lifted, and now this matter is spread all over the township, saying that we are not filial to our children, and we wronged my father before I was born, so my father died and refused to leave. ”

"Yes, the grass people are wronged, my lord, although the grass people are not worthy of praise from the world, but they are quite courteous to their father. I never lacked food and clothing for my dad before I was alive, you can ask the neighbors left and right, we haven't scolded my dad or given him a face, why don't you have peace after he dies?"

Listening to the words of the two brothers, Wang Qilin's face sank like water and he was silent.

When he entered the house, there was a mourning hall, a well-made coffin was parked on the ground, and there was an offering table behind it, on which the melons, fruits, and three animals were complete, a row of incense smoke curled, and two white candles were glowing slowly, and everything seemed to be as usual.

It has been five days since the coffin was mortuary, and it stands to reason that the corpse should have stinked on this hot day, but Wang Qilin sniffed, there was no smell.

He motioned for Ma Ming to open the coffin, and there was a fat old man in a shroud lying inside, and it could be seen from his size that he had a very good life before his death.

There were a lot of ice cubes placed next to the old man, which the Zheng family brothers bought for a lot of money, otherwise the corpse would decompose quickly that day, and there would be no way to guard the spirit.

The corpse was unusual.

Wang Qilin and Ma Ming worked together to carry the coffin, and the coffin was abnormal, unusually heavy.

can be lifted, but this is the result of Wang Qilin's best efforts, you must know that he is a master of the Trick Realm, and he has the power of two bulls!

Shen Yi came up to help, he stuck his wand on the ground, and came up to Zama to exert the qi of the dantian: "Give it to me!"

The coffin was finally lifted.

Seeing this, the Zheng family brothers' faces turned red with excitement: "Ah, my lord's divine power!" "Finally raised up, Lord Wang is too powerful, you have solved the matter here, and it is really worthy of the big seal of the town!"

"Boom".

There was a muffled sound, and the coffin fell to the ground again.

Wang Qilin said in a deep voice: "The matter has not been resolved, there is a problem in this coffin." ”

Zheng Dapeng was stunned and said, "Isn't it already lifted?"

Wang Qilin said: "We can lift it up, but this master and I have the strength of ten people beyond the ordinary, we can only barely lift it, it is naturally problematic." ”

Zheng Dahu was unwilling, he went to call the Eight Immortals to try again.

In the past few days, the gossip in the countryside has crushed him, and the pressure of a coffin docked at home every day is very high, and he just wants to bury his father as soon as possible.

When the eight immortals came, they were all men with big shoulders and round waists, but when they got started, the coffin was motionless.

Wang Qilin looked at Xie Toad, Xie Toad shook his head: "I didn't find any evil, but why hasn't this person been rotting?" ”

The standing incense in the incense burner is not burning neatly, Wang Qilin knows what this should portend, but unfortunately the pilgrim Sun Miao is far away in the archway township, and the water is far away from quenching the thirst.

Li Zheng, the younger sister of the Zheng family, greeted: "It's already noon, let's eat first." There is no delicious food in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, but my family has raised chickens for many years, and my brother and sister will stew chicken with one hand, please taste whether it is suitable for your taste. ”

Zheng Dahu looked at Shen Yi, and Shen Yi preemptively said: "Amitabha, the monk loves to eat chicken." ”

The Zheng family not only prepared a pot of stewed chicken, but also scrambled eggs with green onions, scrambled eggs with toon, and other dry side dishes.

Xu Dafeng hurried back: "I smelled the fragrance of stewed chicken, so I guessed that you were cooking meat behind my back, Seventh Master, you are too unparticular, let me go out and inquire about the news on the big day, you secretly eat chicken yourself?"

"Isn't this reserved for you?"

"What was left?"

"A chicken leg, huh, what about a chicken leg?"

Eight Meow dragged a chicken leg up to the coffin with great difficulty, and after sitting down, it bowed to the chicken leg, opened its mouth and tore it happily.

Wang Qilin hurriedly dragged it down, and it is taboo for cats to be in the coffin in the township.

Xu Da drank chicken soup sullenly, and when the big guy was full of food and drink, he coughed and took out a wooden box from his arms.

The wooden box was tight, and when it was opened, it was full of braised mutton.

The omelet was served with braised mutton, and he was happy to eat it with his mouth open.

Wang Qilin knew that he was deliberately greedy for his group, so he said funny: "Okay, have you heard any news?"

Xu Dadao: "The old man usually likes to worship gods, and he worships any god, I guess he worshiped the evil god, and now the evil god is doing something?"

Ma Ming went to ask the Zheng brothers, and the Zheng brothers nodded, saying that the old man of his family really likes to worship gods, and from the first day of the new year to the thirtieth year, every day is different.

This is well documented, Xie Toad went to see the gods that the old man worshipped and came back and shook his head: "They are all righteous gods, he just wants to have peace of mind, no problem." Even if he worships these gods all year round, then nothing strange should happen. ”

Wang Qilin asked, "There are too many gods to worship, no problem?"

Xie Toad said: "There is a problem with the words of indiscriminate worship, but according to the Zheng family, the old man of his family has been worshipping God since he was young, and he has persisted for so many years, even if he worships God indiscriminately, his sincerity is enough to impress the gods and Buddhas, and this kind of person will be blessed." So you see that the old man is dying, and he has no worries about food and clothing all his life, and his children are filial, this is a blessing. ”

"That's weird, he's okay with everything. Wang Qilin couldn't help but scratch his head.

Eight meows also scratched his head, scratched his head with Jio, his little brows wrinkled, and he took the initiative to sigh: It's hard to live a good life.

"Wait until the evening?" Xu Da proposed.

Wang Qilin thought for a while and said, "Let's take a look around first, if you really don't find it, then you have to wait for the night." ”

Upon hearing this, the Zheng brothers turned their heads to look at their chickens.

This chicken is in trouble.

Because of the many chicken nests, Zheng Paoji's house is quite large, and some big chickens and chickens rest listlessly in the shade.

Wang Qilin asked, "Brother Zheng, why do you still put the chicken pen at home on a hot day?" ”

Zheng Dapeng said helplessly: "No, Lord Wang, these chickens are too wild, usually my father drives them to the mountains and waters, they dare to go anywhere, let them go, they will run around." ”

"Isn't there a chicken head?" Wang Qilin asked casually.

At this time, a Xu Da passed by and pricked up his ears.

"This chicken head is even wilder, once it goes out, it runs around, and it has been lost many times, ordinary people can't find it, only my father can find it. Now that my father is gone, alas, how dare you let them out?" Zheng Dapeng talked about his father's past, with relatives in his heart and tears in his eyes.

Wang Qilin can see that he is not acting, and he is indeed full of feelings for his father.

He looked at the head of the chicken, which was a mighty rooster with a red comb towering above his head, his eyes blazing, his mouth golden and sharp, and his neck with colorful feathers.

When the head of the chicken noticed his gaze, he turned his head to stare at him, his wings exploded, and his neck feathers exploded, like a bird of prey.

Eight Meow was not happy, it jumped out and blew up the hair on the back of its neck, blocking Wang Qilin and bravely facing the chicken head: protect our father.

Zheng Dapeng said: "Oh, adults, put away your cat, cats are the nemesis of chickens, my chicken head hates cats the most, every time I see a cat, I have to chase and peck, because cats will steal chickens to eat, even if you don't eat them, they will kill the chickens for fun." ”

Hearing this, Wang Qilin was surprised: "Then why do you still have cats in your family?"

"No, where do I have cats?"

"Look around the corner, where you put the paper men and horses, and there are at least two cats there. ”

Zheng Dapeng saw him pointing and hurriedly walked to drive away, and said: "Ah, it's my neighbor's cat, they don't usually come to our house, why did they come today? It's not cool here, how can they take advantage of the cool here?"

Unintentional words.

Listen to it.

Wang Qilin subconsciously followed, according to his experience, there is an important message hidden behind anything abnormal.

Eight Meow still had to go to the chicken head for trouble, and Wang Qilin saw it and quickly chased it back into his arms.

He walked around the corner and looked, but these were two normal house cats, nothing unusual.

And both cats recognized Zheng Dapeng, Zheng Dapeng picked up one with his hands, and the other lay down and exposed his belly and shook him vigorously with his front paws, which was begging for mercy.

Zheng Dapeng took it away, and it could be seen that he was a person who liked small animals, so he didn't throw the cat out, but took them to the kitchen to find the chicken butts and chicken skin left over from noon and gave them to the two cats to eat.

Xu laughed and said, "Boss Zheng is a kind-hearted person." ”

Zheng Dapeng said with a smile: "Don't dare, I just like small animals." ”

Shen Yi clasped his hands together and sang: "Amitabha, good and good, the monk also likes small animals, of course, he prefers big animals, and he will panic if he doesn't see them for a day." ”

"You like to eat, right?" Xu Da reacted quickly.

"If you like to eat, you also like to eat, don't you like to eat too?" Shen Yi said.

Xu Dadao: "I'm different from your bald donkey, my favorite animal is not for food." ”

"Don't like it for the sake of eating? What do you like?"

Wang Qilin sneered at the door: "Chicken." ”

Xu Da shook his head and said, "No!"

Wang Qilin was stunned, could he still guess?

He asked, "What's that?"

Xu Dadao: "Bustard, warbler Yanyan." ”

Wang Qilin admires that this stupid bird can always play some new tricks for him.

Eight Meow quietly came out and touched the chicken coop while he wasn't paying attention.

Wang Qilin was helpless, he stuffed the eight meows to Xu Da and said, "Eight meows, be honest, that chicken didn't offend your father, you don't have to clean it up." Dad has something to do now, I can't play with you, don't toss. ”

Hachime struggles and meows by pointing at the chicken coop with his ex-jio.

Xu Da picked up a rope and said, "Don't force me to tie you, I'm very good at tying pigs." ”

Eight Meow had no choice but to swallow his anger.

After eating the chicken butt, a tanuki cat ran to the corner of the wall, and it jumped up the bridge and lay down on it.

Wang Qilin's heart moved: the two cats were lying on the ascending bridge just now, why is this paper bridge so attractive to them?

He chased away the tanuki and reached out to touch it.

The tentacles are cold!

So he hurriedly touched the nearby paper horse paper man, warm.

Only the Ascension Bridge is different, it is cold.

Wang Qilin's heart trembled, he turned around and walked quickly to the room: "Open the coffin!"

When Xu Da saw his expression and walking posture, he understood that he had made a discovery, and immediately went up to remove the coffin lid.

Wang Qilin reached out and touched the old man's body.

It's colder than the Ascension Bridge, and it's cold to the tentacles!

Xie Toad and the others gathered around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Qilin asked the Zheng brothers: "Why is the corpse of your old man so cold?

Zheng Dapeng said: "How can this be abnormal? The corpse should be cold, not to mention that we put so many ice cubes." ”

Wang Qilin shook his head and said: "The Ascension Bridge is also cold, and the cold of the corpse is different, you can try it." ”

Several people reached out to touch the corpse together, Xu Da stretched out his hand and pulled it back, so frightened that Shen Yi also hurriedly pumped back: "Amitabha, what's wrong?"

Xu Da smiled evilly: "It's nothing, I'm just fast, I've already tried it, and the corpse is very cold." ”

"Your mother!, tease the monk!" Shen Yi scolded angrily.

Xie Toad tried it and said, "It's cold to the bone, it's a bad time!"

"It's not that Yin Cha has come, but Yin Cha will stay here at night, so the cold of the Ascension Bridge and the cold of the corpse will last for a long time!" Wang Qilin said flatly.

Xie Toad nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." ”

Ma Ming suddenly realized, no wonder his own Ma Tou Ming Wang couldn't stop the field, they were all considered a system, even if they were not a system, they were brother units.

When it comes to errands, King Ma Tou Ming can't smash the field.

"The question is, why does Yin Cha stay all the time?" Wang Qilin's face was gloomy, and he recalled the Zhong case in Xiamaling.

Xu Da asked cooperatively, "Seventh Master, why?"

Xie Toad was about to answer, but Xu Da glared at him.

Wang Qilin said: "Something is wrong with the corpse, the soul is gone, right? Yin cha came to pull people, but he couldn't find his soul, so he didn't let the coffin move, it was Yin Cha who used some spell to make you unable to lift the coffin, and didn't let you be buried." ”

Xie Toad gave a salute: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, that's exactly the case. ”

Xu Da wondered: "This can't be said, right? In the past, there were also people who lost their souls after death, but they didn't care about the difference, and they were still buried as usual." ”

"What Lord Xu said is right, ordinary people are indeed like this, they are very busy, they will not always stare at a dead soul, if they can't find them, they won't look for them, at most there is one more ghost in the world. But the old man of the Zheng family is not ordinary, he has been worshiping the gods and Buddhas for many years, and now his yin soul is lost, and the gods and Buddhas will not stand idly by, so they urge the yin to be responsible, and his yin soul must be retrieved, and the yin cha cannot be recovered, so he does not let the old man be buried, which is forcing us to come to find it. ”

"Then where is my father's ghost?" Wang Dahu asked stupidly.

Wang Qilin said: "Yes, where did it go? It will not be lost for no reason, think about it carefully, there must be clues." ”
