Wang Qilin returned to the post house, and Eight Meow and Nine Six gnawed stones together.

Gnawing naturally is hardened chalcedony.

Looks pretty pitiful.

In the middle of the snow and ice.

A cat and a dog head together, you bite a bite and I gnaw on a rock.

Eight Meow's love for Ninety-Six is sincere and deep, it doesn't gnaw on the stone, it only gnaws lightly.

Ninety-six is still too small, and the dog's mouth is open and the click is clicking.

Wang Qilin walked over and stroked their little brains, and said to Xu Da: "After solving the turbulent problem in Shangyuan Mansion, we have to go to the peach forest in the mountains again, and ask the mountain ghost Gui'er to get some chalcedony." ”

Xu Da said: "But Seventh Master, what should I do if the mountain ghost doesn't give it?"

"Buy, or barter. ”

"She doesn't want to?"

Wang Qilin was silent for a while, and said kindly: "Last time she scolded me, this is called insulting the imperial court officials, if she refuses to hand over the chalcedony, then I will hold her responsible!"

When the time comes, as long as you catch the mountain ghost, it is up to her whether she hands over the chalcedony or not.

When night fell, the post house was closed, and Wang Qilin arranged for a group of people to eat.

After eating, he began to count troops on the battlefield.

"I, Lord Xu, Daochang Xie, the three of us are the strikers and the main attackers, Lord Ma, you are with us, and when the time comes, we will be the first to enter Shanzao Township. ”

"The rest of the people split into four teams. ”

"The first team of Lord Ma Ming is in command, Shen Yi, Shu Jie, and Lord Hua Qingyi, you each bring two wrestlers to follow Master Ma. ”

"The second team of Shen Sanren will be in command, Chen Weiyue and Xu Xiaoda will accompany you, and you must listen to Lord Shen's arrangement,"

"You will be the commander of the third team of witches, Wu Dasan, Li Ta, Chen Dalu, Yu Mengzhong, and Lu Bocai, you follow. ”

"You will be in command of the fourth team of Old Stick Zhou, and the remaining big and small seals of the post will be dispatched by you. ”

The group got up one after another: "Wow!"

"Do you have any questions?" Wang Qilin finally asked.

Eight Meow dragged Nine-Six out and stood up, raising his little chubby paw.

Wang Qilin said: "You two must go with me, I didn't take you with me last time I went to the granary, it was a special situation!"

Eight Meow nodded, and dragged Nine-Six back again.

Ninety-sixty-one confused out of the ranks, confused into the list.

Wang Qilin waved his hand and said, "Let's go, just take advantage of the night to enter Shanzao Township." ”

Shen Yi wondered and said: "If we want to take advantage of the night to enter Shanzao Township, why don't we set off in the afternoon? If we want to get to Shanzao Township before sunrise, how fast do we have to run?"

Wang Qilin glanced at him and said, "As far as you're smart, can't I think about this?"

"Have you thought about it?"

To be honest, Wang Qilin really thought about it, and it was also a temporary idea to go to Shanzao Township today, and he went to Taiba to report and went to buy Jiucao Da Bu Dan, which delayed a lot of time.

But for the sake of the Majesty, he had to maintain his majesty.

Fortunately, his mind was spinning quickly, and he quickly found a reason: "What do you mean I think about it? I can't think about it?"

"The reason why you want to go out of the city at night is to confuse the people who are watching in the city! Do you think that there is only one person in the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

Speaking of this, he sneered and persuaded himself: "They must have arranged for someone to monitor our post house, if they go out of the city during the day, wouldn't they clearly tell them that we are going to make trouble?"

Xu Da actively praised: "The seventh master is really thoughtful. ”

Shen Yi smiled and stepped back, he said: "The monk is a fool, and his wisdom is not enough, Seventh Master, you should take care of it." ”

Wang Qilin patted him on the shoulder.

Encouragement.

There are elite cavalry in Uehara Prefecture, equipped with good horses, and the group set off on horses and set off at night.

The gates closed slowly.

It's lockdown.

Maqiao County is seventy miles south of Uehara Prefecture, and the official roads extend in all directions, and the impact of the snowstorm has dissipated a few days ago, so the horses can run easily.

It was not easy to travel seventy miles at night, they had just set off at night, and they did not enter the range of Shanzao Township until the crescent moon slanted westward.

It's already fast.

In the middle of the night, Shanzao Township has fallen into a deep sleep, and on both sides of the streets, the houses are orderly and closely snuggled.

It's dark.

Wang Qilin stared at this sleepy village, and ordered in a deep voice: "One, two, three, four, south, east, west, one team, one direction, fence this village for me!"

"As soon as the sound of the chirping sound sounds, I will immediately enter the Lu family's old mansion from all sides, and I will not be allowed to let even a mouse go!"

"Master Ma, you take us to the post house to find the small seal here, and start with him. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Ma Qingfeng: "The little seal here won't be rebelled by the Xingtian Sacrifice or the remnants of the previous dynasty, right?"

Ma Qingfeng said firmly: "Impossible, Xiao Yin Wenkui here is my junior brother, can my junior brother betray me?"

Seeing what he said loudly, Wang Qilin suddenly became worried.

Murphy's law of slapping the face came to mind.

They dismounted and walked cautiously to the village, where every household had a dog, but they did not hear the dog barking all the way.

This is the credit of the leprosy wind, he is a corpse chaser, he has the practice of dumb dog skills, he walked in front and shook a lantern, something spread around, and the guard dogs in the nearby yard shivered on the ground.

The mountain jujube township post is suitable for the scene, it has a circle of fence walls, and mountain jujube trees are planted inside and outside.

Wang Qilin couldn't help but nod after seeing it, the mountain jujube tree has thorns to prevent thieves, and in the spring, the grass and trees are revived and eye-catching, the mountain jujube flowers bloom comfortably in summer, and there are mountain dates to eat in autumn to satisfy hunger.

This Wen Kui is a wonderful person.

A fence wall couldn't stop them, and Wang Qilin turned over and jumped in as soon as he raised his foot.

Crisp and neat.

Xu Da stretched out his hand and wanted to press the fence to turn over with his strength, but he pressed one hand on the mountain date thorn, and his eyes suddenly widened.

it, it hurts!

Xie Toad smiled and picked him up and flew over the fence.

Then Ma Qingfeng pushed the door in, and cast a puzzled look at them: If there is a door that does not leave, why do you want to go in?

Wang Qilin served: "Isn't this door closed at night?"

Ma Qingfeng said: "My junior brother has good skills, and the people of Shanzao Township are simple, and in recent years, he has not closed his door at night. ”

"Besides, what's the use of closing the door? Ordinary petty thieves dare not enter the post house, and those who dare to break into the post house cannot stop them with a door. ”

That's really true.

Wang Qilin said to Xu Da: "Write down this, I am going to reform the architectural layout of our Tianjian Station, our post has a strong defensive power, and we can't just rely on dogs to watch the door." ”

There are a few dogs in the Shanzao Township Post House as usual, but these dogs are very familiar with leprosy, and they will all wag their tails at them.

The master bedroom lit up with a green lamp, and a thin man walked out quickly and said, "Senior brother, are you here? ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Qilin knew that something had happened in Shanzao Township.

Sure enough, Ma Qingfeng asked, "Why am I here?" I didn't receive a notice from the big barbarian, and I have been in Shangyuan Mansion for the past two days. Oh, junior brother, come here, I'll introduce you, and our Lord Tiewei Wang is also here. ”

Wen Kui hurriedly came up to salute, and he said: "It's really good that I have seen Lord Wang, and Lord Tiewei is also here, so that the trickery of our Shanzao Township can be ......."

Jiuliu turned his head violently to look out, Xie Toad waved his sleeves and shot out, and it wasn't until he disappeared into the night that a voice came back: "What is it?"

Eight Meow was about to run out with his claws, but Wang Qilin stopped it and quickly asked Wen Kui, "What happened in your township?"

Wen Kui said: "Two days ago, a strange thing began to happen, there was a private house that decayed overnight, and all the people inside turned into dying old men and old women and died, as if they were dying of old age!"

"The lowly official knew that he wanted to do evil, so yesterday he ordered the villagers to spontaneously form a militia team and patrol the streets and alleys. ”

"But it didn't work, we didn't find anything last night, but two more houses were rotten, and the people inside also became old people and died!"

"So he knew that things were not good, and when he found out about it, he wanted to send people to my brother for help. Something strange happened, and it suddenly became foggy during the day today!"

"This fog is not weird, I was worried that it would be strange, so I didn't dare to send someone out, until the fog dissipated in the evening, and then I quickly sent a wrestler and a traveling star to report the case!"

Wang Qilin's brows furrowed.

It's all a bit too coincidental.

The trickery in this township didn't appear sooner or later, just when he decided to gather his subordinates Da Yin to deal with Du Gongzi and his party?

He doesn't believe in coincidences, there must be a black hand behind this matter!

Ma Qingfeng has a rough way of solving cases, and he likes to take corpses to exorcise demons and kill ghosts, he asked directly: "What did this thing do, do you have any clues?"

Wen Kui smiled bitterly: "There are no clues, this year's township is quite smooth, and no traces of demons and monsters have been found." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "The old mansion of the Lu family, is this place weird?"

Wen Kui said: "The Lu family's old mansion has been abandoned for several years, and he knows the truth that the deserted house is a ghost, so he often arranges people to go in and make trouble on weekdays. ”

Originally, according to Wang Qilin's plan, after finding Wen Kui, he asked him to lead the way to the Lu family's old mansion, and then found the well and prepared to start.

He had killed worms in the well, and he had a lot of experience in this, and he brought a lot of quicklime and fire oil with him on this trip.

So no matter who is hiding in the well, Tai Zhu Ling or who, he has to die!

As a result, this entry into the township actually encountered a strange thing!

His plans were disrupted!

Wang Qilin didn't dare to attack the Lu family's old mansion at will, because he didn't know who did the trick of the rotten old mansion.

It stands to reason that it should have nothing to do with the people hiding in the well, according to Tianyanhou, Taizhu Ling hid in the well to escape the pursuit of the Heavenly Prison.

How could he do it to the local people?

Even rabbits understand the truth of not eating grass by the nest, can the cunning Taizhu Ling not understand?

In this way, he thought of the news that Huang Junzi had found, could it be that Du Gongzi had arranged for someone to hide in this township? Is this person practicing with the people in the township?

The Lu family's old house is in the southernmost part of Shanzao Township, Wang Qilin pondered for a moment, and said: "First take this official to the house where the trick occurred, what about the corpse?

Wen Kui said embarrassedly: "Lord Hui, it's already buried." ”

Wang Qilin couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart: This thing is too amateurish!

Wen Kui knew the elegance of the song when he heard the strings, and he knew his mind by looking at his expression, he hurriedly explained: "My lord, those corpses are too weird, and continuing to keep them will have too much impact on the hearts of the people in the township. ”

Wang Qilin sighed and said, "Let's go to the house where the accident happened first." ”

In order to avoid startling the snake, they went to the northernmost of the three houses in the township.

Standing in the alley and looking at the house where the accident occurred, if Wen Kui hadn't explained it in advance, Wang Qilin really didn't believe that this house had been inhabited a few days ago!

The dilapidated house he lived in when he was a beggar was brighter than this one.

This house was originally a thatched house with earth and stone courtyard walls, but now the courtyard wall has collapsed, the miscellaneous trees have withered, and the roof has collapsed.

Xu Da glanced at it and said: "Seventh Master, this house monster, it's as if its spirit and spirit have been sucked away by something, do you look at its dilapidated appearance, does it look like a person who was killed by the demon girl in the legend?"

This analogy is in Wang Qilin's heart.

The door was barely closed, and he grabbed the iron knocker and pulled it - no need to make any effort, the iron knocker fell with a 'creak'!

Xu Da grabbed the door panel and pulled it, and the wood that was still intact suddenly turned into a handful of wood slag.

Ninety-six came up and sniffled, tilting his head to show a puzzled expression.

Wen Kui said in a low voice: "Not only the outside, but also the inside, it is rotten, my lord, you can go in and take a look, the iron pot is rusty, the knife and axe are rusty, and the bedding and clothes seem to be weathered, and they will shatter if you touch them casually." ”

Wang Qilin entered the house.

There were only a few edge fragments left of the window edge paper, and there was a whining sound when the wind blew.

It's like something crying.

The moonlight shone in through the doors and windows and the collapsed roof, but it was not dark inside.

But Wang Qilin would rather not have this moonlight.

It's almost half a month, the moon is big, the moon is bright, and the moonlight is very strong.

When it shone into the house and on the ground, the color was cold and white.

It just so happens that there is a thick layer of dust on the ground, so every foot on it is like stepping on ashes.

Wang Qilin asked, "The situation of the other two houses is the same as here?"

Wen Kui nodded and said, "Yes, the same." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Is there any relationship between the three families?"

Wen Kui scratched his head in confusion and said, "Yes, they all live in the same township, how can it matter?"

Wang Qilin frowned: "Go and quietly call the well-informed people in the township, call them to the post office, and the official will ask them about the store." ”

From the time he entered the Heavenly Prison, the tricks he solved were all fateful, and none of the ghosts were inexplicably killed.

Since there are three houses withered and three families died in Shanzao Township, there must be a relationship between them!

Wen Kui's execution was very good, and in less than a stick of incense, two old men and two women were brought into the post house.

The two sides briefly understood each other's identities, and Wang Qilin got straight to the point: "After the death of these three families, have you ever been in contact with strange things or things before?"

The four of them looked at each other tremblingly and shook their heads.

Wang Qilin glanced at Ambassador Xu, Xu Da took out a handful of copper baht and put one in the hands of one of them: "Calm down, provide some useful news to my family, the more useful you will get the more rewards, my family is the most generous, your fortune is here tonight, it depends on which of you can catch him." ”

The power of money is endless.

A woman with a meaty face hurriedly said: "Wang Mazi, Wang Lao Wu, and Lao Pig's Trotters have encountered strange things, a corpse!"

"I remember this clearly, sir, reward me, I know this, I have seen the corpse, it is weird, with a big wooden nail on its forehead!"

Another woman also hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you are talking nonsense, not only have they touched that corpse, but many people in our township have seen it." ”

"Yes, it's not just the three of them when it buries its body, and I've dug up the earth, old man. An old man said.

The woman with a meaty face said disdainfully: "Old crooked, you are going to dig the soil and lay a pigsty for the family!"

Seeing that they were about to tear up, Wang Qilin shouted: "Don't make any noise, the corpse with a big wooden nail on its forehead?"

Wen Kui said: "This was all a few days ago, I want to think, I want to think, what day is this coming......"

"It was the first time it snowed. The cross-meat girl reminded him, "There was a sudden thunder that night, and the old pig's trotters went to herd the pigs, and then he saw that a big locust tree outside the countryside was split by thunder, and he went to be curious to see that there was a skeleton in the trunk of the charcoal-like tree!"

"Then Lord Wen instructed us to bury the corpse that day, and it snowed in the afternoon. ”

Wang Qilin looked at Wen Kui and said, "After the thunder, a skeleton appeared in a locust tree, didn't you feel abnormal?

This nerve is thicker than a chicken, right?

Wen Kui explained: "Lord Wang, I have also guessed that there may be something wrong with it, but if I look at it carefully, it is just a dry bone, and there is no problem. ”

"And I'm afraid that I don't have enough skills and don't see what trouble will happen, so I specially reported this matter to my senior brother, ah no, report it to Master Ma. ”

Ma Qingfeng said: "Lord Wang, the humble position has also been reported, and it has been reported to Lord Qian!"

"What did Lord Qian say?"

"Let me observe, if there is something he will do, but it has been fine, so the humble duty did not take it to heart. ”

Wang Qilin touched his nose, and he decided to name Qian Xiao the shame of listening to the iron captain of the heavenly prison.

He guessed that there was something wrong with the skeleton, so he asked Wen Kui to lead the way to see it.

Naturally, the corpse of unknown origin will not be buried in the township, and the corpse is buried by the river outside the township.

According to Wen Kui's meaning, this corpse may be a ghost and have evil energy, and water is a spiritual purification thing between heaven and earth, and the corpse will be washed away with flowing water, so whether it is evil or wronged, it can be scrubbed clean sooner or later.

The river was in the east of the village, Wang Qilin was anxious, and Wen Kui took the lead in speeding out.

As a result, after leaving the village, there was a thunderous roar: "Amitabha, where are the demons!"

Shen Yi waved his wand and pounced on his throat.

Ma Ming waved his hand calmly, and his official robe was untied at once, and he was about to turn around shirtless.

Wen Kui was stunned.

It's so big and sturdy, just by looking at the scale, you know that it feels good.

Wang Qilin said helplessly: "Are you all blind?

Shen Yi stopped in time and asked in amazement: "Seventh Master, Amitabha, the demon eats my staff!"

He waved his wand at Wen Kui again.

Wang Qilin punched out and slapped the wand away, and he said angrily: "Do you have any brains? This person must be our own person when he is with me, what are you doing to him?"

Shen Yi said frankly: "The spray monk has no brains, the seventh master knows, this is the scar in the heart of the spray monk, why do you still want to uncover it?"

Ma Ming walked up quickly and said, "Seventh Master, this adult is running in front of you, and it is understandable that the monk mistakenly thinks that you are chasing him. ”

Wang Qilin hugged his fists and said, "Senior monk, I'm sorry." ”

Shen Yi suddenly smiled: "My own brother, the spray monk only remembers your good, can you still remember your bad?"

Wang Qilin didn't have time to toss with them, so he hurriedly followed Wen Kui to the river to excavate.

The corpses are no better than others, and they are still buried quite deep, but fortunately, Shen Yi has the strength of two arms, and he quickly dug up the corpses that were swept up with grass.

It's just a white bone.

Ordinary white bones.

When Wen Kui saw it, he exclaimed in surprise: "Huh, no, what about the wooden nail on its forehead?"

There were no nails in the skull, only a small hole!
