"Brother Chen, if you say this, will it be an evil calamity?"

In the car, Song Tianfu couldn't help but ask.

Chen Youniao was noncommittal: "According to your description, it's a bit similar, but you have to go to the scene to see it before you can judge." ”

Song Tianfu sighed: "How did a strange incident happen in my manor? Although the location is remote, it is under the jurisdiction of the county town, and there has not been such a thing for many years. ”

Chen Youniao looked at him: "You go out to do business, you are well-informed, you should know something about evil spirits, and you may have encountered them." ”

Song Tianfu smiled wryly: "Having said that, it's actually not like that. After a pause, he continued: "The world has been peaceful for a long time, and under the rule of the dynasty, the thirty-six counties, a considerable part of the area are safe, and at most there are some thieves, or drought and flood disasters. And the world is huge, and there are monsters and evil haunts, which have long been marked and circled, and belong to the danger zone. Whether it is a trader or a dart trader, as long as you have experience, you will avoid it from afar, where do you dare to hit it headlong?"

Chen Youniao listened and immediately understood. In this ancient world, maps are of course a rarity, but for large families, it is not difficult to get a walking route, after all, it is a valuable experience accumulated over several generations. Moreover, they mainly take the official road, and they will not go to such a reckless place as the barren mountains and mountains.

Song Tianfu said: "I have heard many things, but I have not seen them personally...... By the way, Brother Chen, what's going on in that mansion where you live?"

Inviting Chen Youniao to come out today, Song Tianfu actually has another thought, let's take it as a test to see how much Chen Youniao has ability, the so-called "seeing is believing".

Chen Youniao replied: "There are resentful spirits in the murderous house, and before the climate is completed, a talisman will be extinguished." ”

Song Tianfu listened, a little disappointed.

Chen Youniao said again: "But the incident of your manor, but the blood, if you really have to make a trouble, it will not be so simple." ”

Song Tianfu suddenly asked nervously, "Can you handle it?"

"It's hard to say. ”

Chen Youniao haha: "Brother Tianfu, you don't have to be too anxious, even if I can't handle it, you can also ask Gao Ming to report to the official." ”

Song Tianfu had a sad face: "It's difficult, it costs a lot of money to ask a real Taoist priest to make a move." There will be a commotion, and the government will ask, and my manor may not be able to be saved. ”

Chen Youniao was stunned: "Why is this?"

Song Tianfu sighed: "When it comes to evil things, the stakes are very high, and the procedures of the government are completely different, first of all, you have to seal the garden, fiefdom, before and after, investigate, ask for the source, and exterminate it, at least for a few months." After a delay, all the land has to be abandoned, and there is no output, and there are heavy losses. ”

Chen Youniao listened quietly and found that he had thought things too simply.

Song Tianfu shook his head: "So if you are contaminated with these, the best solution is to settle it in private, and if you don't put it evenly, your vitality will be greatly damaged, and even your family will be ruined." ”

Chen Youniao touched his chin: "No wonder cultivators are so popular." ”

Song Tianfu couldn't help but roll his eyes: I have repeatedly forgiven the time of debt and invited me to eat and drink every day, isn't it all based on this foundation? Speaking of which, it is indeed dominated by utilitarianism, but there is no friendship between each other, how could they hit it off at first sight, immediately cut off the head of the chicken and burn the yellow paper, and worship as brothers? Please, that is all the nonsense of the storyteller.

His eyes rolled: "Brother Chen, I'll leave this matter to you." ”

Chen Youniao said: "Brother Tianfu, please rest assured, I will do my best." ”

As he spoke, after a while, the carriage stopped, and had arrived.

Chen Youniao got out of the car, looked up, and saw that he was outside the gate of a manor.

The manor is not very tall, with earthen walls and green tiles, and some trees are planted around it to provide shade. In the vicinity, there are all fields, large areas of land are connected together, and crops such as rice and vegetables are planted in the fields, and some farmers are working in the fields.

followed Song Tianfu into the manor and saw a row of farmhouses, and there were sheepfolds, pig pens, cattle pens and other facilities. In the center is a large threshing field where the crops harvested each season are transported for further processing.

Chen Youniao asked: "There should be a lot of manors like this, on the outskirts of the county." ”

Song Tianfu introduced: "The most is that my family is small. Like your Chen family, it is much larger, and can live in nearly a thousand people, just like a township. However, the fields with good soil are either in the county town or on the edge of the castle...... Hey, I don't have anyone in my family who is an official, and I can't occupy a good land. ”

Chen Youniao raised his eyes and looked into the distance, he could see the scale of the reckless mountains, and looked at the past from a distance, like an undulating snake python.

There, there are mountains and deep valleys, and it is difficult for people to reach them.

In fact, these mountain ranges are nothing, compared to the Laoshan Dojo, they are simply insignificant, and they are not as good as the places that Chen Youniao passed along the way back. The place where the county seat is located, densely populated, tens of thousands, will continue to expand outward over the years, radiating development, mining, cutting wood, logging, hunting......

The Terrans are prodigiously fertile and destructive, and year after year of development, many mountainous areas have been dug into fields and villages.

Of course, there are also many huge mountain ranges that have not been destroyed and have become a paradise for birds and animals, and most of them are far away from the county town. It is a dense forest and a breeding ground for all kinds of weirdness.

Song Tianfu said: "Brother Chen, I rushed all the way, and I went to the hall to drink tea first." ”

Chen Youniao shook his head: "The tea will be put aside for the time being, and I will go to the scene to see it, so as not to delay the hour, if it gets dark in the evening, it will be tricky." ”

Song Tianfu couldn't ask for it, so he asked a steward of the manor to lead him to the sheepfold.

The people living in the manor also raise a lot of livestock, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, dogs and geese. The first to suffer were the eight sheep in the sheep pen, after the accident, the steward in charge of the manor did not go to the city to report it immediately, and the next night when the cattle were killed, then he realized that something was wrong and hurriedly sent someone to deliver the letter. The Song family got the letter, and they felt bad, and after discussion, they mentioned the existence of Chen Youniao, so they asked Song Tianfu to come forward to invite someone.

The scene was not properly protected, and the messy, small remnants of sheepskins and skeletons were there, and because there was no blood, it did not look scary.

After looking at the sheepfold, I went to see the cattle pen again, and the situation was similar in the two places, and there was a pair of cowhide and cow skeleton left here.

Chen Youniao carefully investigated, and asked people to cut the sheepskin and cowhide and spread them out, and saw that the inner skin was still stained with some flesh and blood, blurry, dark red and dark red, very penetrating.

Because of the need to calm people's hearts, Song Tianfu only asked the steward to bring two capable subordinates to follow, and the others were not allowed to approach: "Brother Chen, look?"

Chen Youniao's face was solemn, his nose sniffed, and asked, "Two nights after the incident, did anyone hear the movement?"

The steward shook his head: "No, I didn't hear any movement, I woke up and found that the sheep and cattle had been killed." ”

Sheep and cattle are valuable animals, especially cattle, which are fed and guarded by special people, and live on the edge of the cattle pen, just a few meters away.

Chen Youniao exhaled: "There is something abnormal, and there is no doubt that it is evil." ”
