09 Ghost Lantern in Sleepy Town

You must know that in yesterday's dream, Xie Yixiang had seen more than a dozen faceless monsters huddled together, scrambling to get close to this oil lamp, according to this, there must be some mystery hidden in this bronze oil lamp in the house, or there is some mechanism. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info So seeing that Lao Ye was going to touch the bronze oil lamp, Xie Yixiang suddenly shouted. However, the strange thing is that at the same time, Lao Chen beside him actually shouted and asked Lao Ye not to touch the oil lamp, which is a little puzzling.

For a while, Xie Yixiang and Lao Ye both looked at Lao Chen suspiciously, to see what he would explain. I saw that Lao Chen's face seemed to be a little hesitant, and he glanced at Xie Yixiang a few times worriedly, and then said in a hesitant voice: "This...... Please don't blame Miss Xie San for this, we countrymen are shallow, no better than the adults from your capital, so there are many taboos, especially this ghost and god...... The current bronze oil lamp, if I am not mistaken, is probably the 'Ghost Lantern of Trapped Demon Town' commonly used by the ghost masters in our Jiangxi area, and its function is to illuminate a path for the dead and guide their souls to a way back. And the soul of the deceased can find its own perch through the direction of this 'ghost lamp of Trapped Demon Town', and there is no need to worry about not being able to find a way back because of the mess outside......"

Speaking of this, Lao Chen looked at Xie Yixiang cautiously, and asked tentatively: "I waited for these village wild men, although I haven't read any books, but I also know that Master Kong once said, 'Respect ghosts and gods and stay away', so the men, women, and children in Chilong Town are very taboo about ghosts and gods. Therefore, the villain just saw that Lao Ye was going to touch the 'Ghost Lantern of Trapped Demon Town', so he stopped shouting, said a few more words, and hoped that Miss Xie San would not be surprised. ”

Listening to Lao Chen's words, Xie Yixiang suddenly came to his senses, it turned out that Lao Chen had the same scruples as himself, worried about the imperial court's decree of "death for those involved in witchcraft", so he would swallow in front of him. At that moment, Xie Yixiang was noncommittal, and said, "It's okay, you can continue." ”

Seeing that Xie Yixiang didn't blame himself for superstitious ghosts and gods, Lao Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then continued: "In addition to guiding the way back for the soul, this 'Ghost Lantern of Trapped Demon Town', as the name suggests, has the effect of trapping evil demons and suppressing powerful ghosts. Once the ghost master recites a spell and casts a spell, establishing a causal connection between the soul of the deceased and the oil lamp, then the existence and extinction of the soul in this world will no longer be inseparable from the oil lamp on which the spell was cast. If you are far away from this 'Ghost Lantern of Trapped Demon Town', or if you have been away for a long time, your soul will be in danger of being scattered and your body and spirit will be destroyed. ”

As he spoke, Lao Chen couldn't help but glared at Lao Ye beside him, and said meaningfully: "If you accidentally break this oil lamp, you will destroy the fate of those souls attached to the oil lamp, then your trouble...... Hehe, I'm afraid it's a little big. Although the old Ye has a big personality, he is also very taboo about this ghost and god in his heart, and when he heard this, he had to be speechless, and he didn't dare to touch the bronze oil lamp on the ground.

I didn't expect these two people to eat the public dinner, and they would actually believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, which made the current matter a little tricky. At that moment, Xie Yixiang pondered Lao Chen's words, and after a change of heart, he asked rhetorically: "Lao Chen, as you just said, since this so-called 'Ghost Lamp of Trapped Demon Town' has been placed here, then the souls suppressed on the lamp have only taken this room as their home? If so, can I guess that the corpses left by these suppressed souls before their deaths will also be buried in this room?"

As soon as Xie Yixiang's words came out, Ye Chen couldn't help but shudder. The old Ye blurted out: "Third Miss, don't frighten me, you ...... You're saying there's dead bodies around here?"

Lao Chen next to him also said with some fear: "The third lady's inference is not unreasonable, but I am afraid that it will ...... 'M afraid...... I'm afraid of ......" He said a few "I'm afraid", but there was no conclusion. The old Ye hurriedly said: "There is a saying that 'more things are better than less', this ...... If the body is really found, I'm afraid we won't be able to afford it. ”

It turned out that according to the decree of this dynasty, if an unknown corpse is found in the wilderness, even if the local yamen of the township comes forward, it has no right to deal with it, and it must be reported to the county government for decision. If the situation is serious, it will even have to be reported to the state government yamen before it is qualified to file a case for investigation. And the consequences of this are not big, but they are not small, and if you are not careful, you will get into trouble, and it is by no means that Ye Chen can afford these two places. Regardless of whether Xie Yixiang's inference is correct or not, if on a whim, if the laborers are mobilized to find some corpses, maybe they can really turn out a few corpses of unknown age from this house, then the entire Chilong Town Yamen will be in great trouble. That's why Lao Ye opened his mouth to interrupt Lao Chen's words, wanting to make a big thing a small thing and a small thing, so as to confuse the matter of finding the corpse.

Xie Yixiang observed the words, and immediately understood Lao Ye's worries, and couldn't help but say coldly: "You two can rest assured, I came to Chilong Town this time to investigate the case in the name of the capital's criminal arrest room. I will take all the responsibilities arising from it and will not implicate your town. So for now, the two of you just need to cooperate with me and act in the name of my torture room. ”

Her words not only brought out the name of "the Beijing Criminal Arrest Room is ordered to investigate the case", but also took all the responsibility on the criminal arrest room, which made Lao Ye stunned for a moment, so he had to nod again and again, not daring to say anything more. Xie Yixiang saw that her goal had been achieved, so she looked at Lao Chen with a smile and asked, "Regardless of whether this so-called 'Ghost Lantern of Trapped Demon Town' is really effective, but the rules are the rules, and since you want to do it, you have to make it a complete set." Lao Chen, in the customs of your place, where should this oil lamp that suppresses the soul of the deceased be placed? Or may I change another question, that is, since this oil lamp is used to 'trap demons and suppress ghosts', then the place where it is placed will not be too far away from the corpse of the deceased, yes or no?"

Lao Chen was asked by Xie Yixiang to sweat on his forehead, nodded yes, and replied: "The third lady is really right...... You must know that the 'ghost lanterns of Trapped Demon Town' in Jiangxi are usually placed in front of the coffin containing the deceased, so as not to lose the soul of the deceased for some reason. The distance between them should not exceed three zhang, otherwise it will fail. But now the lamp is placed in the house, but there is no body in the house, only ......"

Speaking of this, Lao Chen seemed to think of something, and immediately reacted. I saw that he couldn't help but shiver all over his body, and hurriedly stomped his feet, stepping on the floor under him "suddenly". Hearing the sound of the floor under his feet was not abnormal, Lao Chen raised his head at that moment, staring directly at the roof above his head with his eyes, the sweat that was originally dense on his forehead had turned into a direct flow down at this moment, ticking and falling to the ground.
