On the twenty-fifth day of April, it rained in the valley, and the sky was clear and windless.

Ouyang Qing sat in the middle of the courtyard of Dali Temple, with a desk in the middle, on which a large piece of rice paper was spread, Ouyang Qing was holding a brush, writing something, looking chic and very proud.

Dali Temple has been very lively recently, there are few such lively scenes, the last time was last year, the Dragon Boat Festival Emperor personally came to Dali Temple to condole.

The position of Dali Siqing is still hanging, Lu Changfeng does not know whether he is alive or dead, the emperor is very angry and asks for a strict investigation.

Originally, Ouyang Qing was asked to arrest all the people involved, but Ouyang Qing didn't do it, and the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes immediately praised it again.

Luo Bing's whereabouts are also unknown recently, and Dali Temple is temporarily presided over by Ouyang Qing in the absence of Lu and Luo.

Ouyang Qing slowly approached the Internal Affairs Office when Luo Bing and Lu Changfeng were both missing, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the officials of Dali Temple had prospered since then, and there was an endless stream of people who came to the door.

Bao Ziyun, the chief manager of Da Nei, and Zhang Qing, the master of Da Nei, gave 100,000 taels of silver to compensate for the Dali Temple officials who died before the Spring Festival, and the Dali Temple was prosperous for a while.

No one dared to provoke anyone in Luoyang City, and the wind of arrogance and arrogance naturally spread.

It is no longer the style of serving the people when Lu Changfeng was in charge of Niu Er, and ordinary people have changed to the county government and the cruising division when they see such pomp and circumstance.

Under Meng Chun's warm sunlight, Ouyang Qingzheng was a little drowsy.

A person from the post at the door said loudly: "There are guests who have come to visit Dali Temple!"

I saw that the man at the door was about forty years old, with a few sparse beards on his face, walked in quickly, saw Ouyang Qing, arched his hands in the rivers and lakes, and said in a dumb voice: "Cabinet Secretary Jin Wuwei Qianniu Hu Shiqi greets." ”

In terms of official positions, the cabinet secretary Jin Wuwei Qianniu is only a security guard around the emperor, and he has no real position.

The deputy secretary of Ouyang Qing Dali Temple is Zheng Erpin, but he doesn't know where it is, but Hu Shiqi is a neighbor of his hometown, and he is also an official in the same dynasty as his father.

But the guards around the emperor are the ones who speak when the emperor needs to chatter, and everyone knows that his future is limitless, that is, he is a member of the court, and he is also polite to Hu Shiqi.

Hu Shiqi chose to visit today, he must have something important to visit, otherwise how could he come here alone.

Ouyang Qing bowed down and smiled slightly: "No need to be polite, Hu Qianniu is here today, there must be something?"

Hu Shiqi got up and bowed again: "I came here today, but I asked Dali Temple to help." ”

Ouyang Qing was surprised: "I don't know what the matter is? Qianniuwei has more good hands than Dali Temple." ”

Hu Shiqi sweated like rain, sweating down his head, as if he had encountered something extremely terrible, his lips were open and trembling, and he said with difficulty: "There are a lot of strange things near the ancestral homes of our two families, I can't ask!"

Ouyang Qing's eyebrows tied a knot, and he said strangely: "Why can't you ask?

Hu Shiqi's legs were like sifting chaff, and his voice was hoarse: "I don't know if you have offended too many people recently, or if I have offended too many people in the past, and I have been made many games."

Our two old houses are not far from East Lake, East Lake did have too many dead people last month, and Dali Temple has also buried a lot, but recently there are many inexplicable people in black near the ancestral house.

There is always a vicious fight at night, and it is really cruel during the day", said here Hu Shiqi's legs were already trembling and could not stand, Ouyang Qing quickly took a stool for him to sit down, Hu Shiqi raised the water in the teapot and drank it up before he calmed down.

"People in the neighborhood said that the Yin soldiers borrowed the way, and the corpses were trampled to pieces, and as a result, the unjust souls could not be exceeded, so they became evil ghosts, and they haunted them night and night.

At first, I didn't believe it, but the willow forest of the ancestral house happened every night when the Yin soldiers borrowed the road, and no one dared to go from there, and the local county government explored several times, and finally even the explorers were crushed, and no one rushed to explore.

There were no dead farmers in the nearby Zhuangzi, but there were always Yin soldiers borrowing the road, and there were many people reporting the case.

I picked a few first-class ones from Jin Wuwei last night, and then I took a few brothers into the willow forest. At night, the fog in the forest was bright, and several people couldn't see their fingers, and they scattered if they weren't careful, but the white miserable fog couldn't see their fingers.

Last night after the rain in the valley, the sky was clear, and finally the moonlight was surrounding, and with a little moonlight that I could see, I saw with my own eyes a headless black shadow, dancing a giant sword there, tall and tall, not much better than the wall of Dali Temple.

The tall headless black shadow danced with a huge sword, and that sword danced like lightning, maybe the lightning was not as fast as him, and it was definitely not something that people could pretend.

I don't know what happened, but the man in black seemed to have noticed me, walked up to me, and struck me on the head with a giant sword, and I passed out at that time.

The next morning when the sun was shining, I woke up to the fact that the brothers who had gone in with me were all dead, hanging from the branches of the willows, and oops。。。。。。。。。。。 ！”

When he said the last sentence, he was angry and afraid, and he couldn't help himself, and he collapsed to the ground.

Ouyang Qing and Hu Shiqi were originally world friends, so they hurriedly helped him up and said in a deep voice: "There are such strange things, don't worry, I must go to meet the person who pretends to be a ghost." ”

After saying that, he shouted Leng Qi and took the whole class, and everyone in Dali Temple who could breathe and move followed, and went straight to the willow forest in the direction of Donghu's hometown.

After all, his ancestral house protects himself, and Ouyang Qing is not sloppy at all.

There were a few officials standing far away, and when Hu Shiqi was leaving, he instructed the local county officials to take care of this place so that no one would touch it, and the bodies of those Jin Wuwei were still hanging in the willow forest, and Ouyang Qing came here to verify it.

When he arrived at Deliulin, Rao was Ouyang Qing who heard Hu Shiqi's desolation, and knew in his heart that everyone had died miserably, but he was still shocked.

Among the five trees, the willow tree is shaded, and the willow tree becomes a forest, which is gloomy.

At the top of the tall willow tree, three feet high from the ground, there is a corpse hanging on the branch, and it can be hung to such a high place, which shows that the murderer is definitely not human.

Ouyang Qing raised his head and ordered the official to slowly put down the corpse with a rope, this corpse seemed to have been cut off with a direct palm, the neck was like a noodle, and a head was also hanging down softly, and the neck bones should have been shattered, but the eyes were round and open, the pupils were prominent, and the protruding eyeballs were almost the size of eggs, and there was an extremely hideous and weird smile on his face.

Ouyang Qing and the corpse looked at each other, and wanted to step forward to dissect the corpse in person, but his lower body was cold, so he couldn't help but shudder, shouted over, and quickly got up and turned his gaze away, and walked towards the depths of the willow forest.

As soon as he stepped into the willow forest, his left foot seemed to be stepping on a softer place, Ouyang Qing knew that something was wrong, and he saw the second corpse under his feet.

The corpse's face seems to be corrected with a palm, and this palm power is also just right, and the entire face and facial features seem to have collapsed with a palm, and they are about to shrink into a cavity.

The facial features have been extremely distorted, and the expression has been scattered by a palm, and the horror, ecstasy, and anger seem to be fused together. The eyeballs of the two eyes have been punched into the skull, and the eyes have become bloodshot holes, and there are still traces of flesh hanging from the corners of the eyes.

Ouyang Qingqiang couldn't bear the nausea in his heart, his brows furrowed tightly, and he almost couldn't help but vomit.

Xin said: "This person is really so perverted, and it is really hateful to kill people and create such horrors." It is unrealistic to hang the corpse on such a high place and intimidate everyone, but let the deceased have such a strange expression before he dies.

Could it really be that evil ghosts are haunting, and these dead people have also turned into ghosts?" As soon as he thought of this, Ouyang Qing's back was cold, his hairs stood on end, and he shuddered.

After a few more steps, the sun shone through the canopy, and it was already quite shady, when I saw a third corpse.

There was a large hole in the neck of the corpse, only a cavity remained, and there were large blood scars all around, although they were far apart, it could still be seen that the neck wound was flat and smooth, and it was cut with a knife.

The man stretched his arms forward, as if trying to grasp something.

Ouyang Qing walked under the tree, the ground was covered with dirty blood, the smell was fishy, and a thin line of blood dripping towards the depths of the willow forest.

Ouyang Qingzheng hesitated to walk in and take a look, but he seemed to see a gray-clothed man squatting at the end of the blood line, but it turned out to be Luo Bing who was investigating.

The two have a deep friendship, laughing at each other, Luo Bing is still the orthodox leader of Dali Temple, and the two are reconciled.

Ouyang Qing had more helpers in his heart, and he praised boldly, raising his eyebrows: "Lu Changfeng, you have solved it?"

Luo Bing looked frustrated, shook his head and said, "He is missing, this time it seems to be related to the Heavenly Demon." ”

Ouyang Qing was stunned in his heart, and said: "I have also known this Heavenly Demon, and his martial arts seem to be mediocre, he sneaked up on me and Xiaoyue that day, but I left the Flying Fish Sword instead." ”

Luo Bing was taken aback at this moment, froze for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Your heavenly demon must be fake, I only met the real heavenly demon a few days ago, and my martial arts are unfathomable. ”

Ouyang Qing said: "It is said that this Flying Fish Sword was obtained by the Heavenly Demon. The reason why the Heavenly Demon Martial Arts are ordinary is that the Demon Sect Martial Arts have to be re-cultivated every once in a while and are reborn.

Luo Bing didn't believe it in his heart, but suddenly said in his mouth: "No wonder he didn't kill me after he knocked me unconscious that day, it turned out that his meridians were damaged after performing martial arts, and he was afraid that I would cheat, so he only took Lu Changfeng away." ”

Ouyang Qing has been thoughtful recently, and he can't keep his mind at work, and one person covers the sky with one hand and covers the entire Dali Temple, which is very cool.

Why Luo Bing came back here is a question that Ouyang Qing urgently needs to figure out, whether the temple is not worried about himself, or whether he has revealed clues.

I didn't think about Lu Changfeng at all, the most tricky thing at the moment was the ancestral house murder case, so I intercepted and said: "Are you returning to the capital today for this case?"

Luo Bing nodded, a few days ago, the Criminal Department still notified me to go back to Dali Temple, this case has attracted the attention of the emperor, and I have heard all the details on the report, and today I also happened to come to the Criminal Department to investigate.

The emperor of Dali Temple is still determined to be the road to the long wind, asking me to see the corpse to die, the fire to see the person, the dignified first-class member was forced by the green forest to fall into the emperor was extremely angry, the original intention was to bulldoze it, and then the capital said that it was not necessary.

After the merger of this case, it is still up to Lu Changfeng to decide.

Luo Bing handed a yellow oracle to Ouyang Qing.

Ouyang Qing prides himself on being extremely smart, learning from his family background, thinking and thinking, but he forgets that the public race is not under his control, and the emperor does not leave the house, but his eyes are bright?

Luo Bing didn't look at Ouyang Qing's other expressions, and then pointed to the scene and said, "There are a total of six Jin Wuwei's corpses in this willow forest, and it is not easy to kill six men with military backgrounds, strong martial arts, and strong martial arts in one fell swoop. ”

Luo Bing pointed at the body in front of Ouyang Qing with the ring finger of his right hand and said: "Look at this person, his face and facial features have been shattered by a palm, in addition to the martial arts such as the strong internal strength of the "Mighty King Kong Palm" and "Monument Wrestler", such scars can only be caused by heavy weapons like a big hammer.

There are only a handful of heavy weapons on the rivers and lakes, you can't just carry a big hammer out on your back, this thing is not like a sword wrapped in wine and you can set off, and the person who uses these heavy weapons must have infinite arm strength, such a person is calm, it is impossible to practice a very high light skill, and hang the corpse on the willow branch. ”

Ouyang Qing already knew in his heart, but his brain had really made chickens, ducks and fish confused recently, and there were some people around him.

I didn't want to analyze the case above, and at this time, I completely understood that I was not as good as Lu Changfeng in terms of consideration, so I hesitated for a while and said: "If this person's martial arts are already like Tiemoller, he can do whatever he wants......

Luo Bing shook his head and said, "If Tie Mole and Dugu Linglong are reborn, it will not be difficult to do this. It's a pity that people who have practiced such high martial arts have such a vision?

Even if you and I want to be a general in this kind of martial arts, and we don't want to be in the rivers and lakes, how many people in the world can do it? And what master has worked hard all his life to practice peerless martial arts and is willing to be driven by others?"

Ouyang Qing had cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "Based on your analysis, if it is not a master of martial arts and you and me, it must be a gang of many people. ”

Hu Shiqi trembled and walked in at this time, and when he heard Ouyang Qing's words, he said: "If this is a master's crime, what I saw with my own eyes last night was a ghost!"

Ouyang Qing saw that there was a person behind him, it was Nan Yunfei who had met in Dali Temple that day, and his heart sank.

You must know that the beggar gang has always been ordered to do things, and they leave when they are done, and they are not greedy for power, which is also the reason why the emperors of previous dynasties trusted the beggar gang.

More than ten people have died before and after Jin Wuwei this time, and Qianniu Shaoqi is also furious, Jin Wuwei is a forbidden army, how can he believe in the theory of ghosts and gods?

At that moment, he personally went to the Luoyang Beggars Gang to invite Nan Yunfei to participate in the investigation, and the identity given was the Jinwuwei Qianniu Investigation Envoy, and more than ten people under his jurisdiction could be transferred.

Nan Yunfei didn't seem to care about his identity, and arched his hand: "The two of you are polite! ”

Luo Bing only had a relationship with Nan Yunfei that day, Nan Yunfei was only a five-bag disciple in the early stage, although Luo Bing came from the beggar gang, he didn't stay much. He had a good impression of Nan Yunfei, and he also hugged his fists as a salute at the moment, but Ouyang Qing only nodded slightly.

Hu Shiqi gave a deep look at the three of them, and then said: "Last night, I saw with my own eyes that the headless king was dancing with his own eyes, dancing so fast, and his strength was so great......

Luo Bing frowned and said, "Headless Heavenly King, do you really see that thing has no head?"

Hu Shiqi showed an extremely frightened expression on his face, and said miserably: "That thing is very tall, but I can see clearly that his whole person is square, covered in a black veil, and has no head......"

Of course, Hu Shiqi's expression is forgivable, he was already frightened in his heart, and he picked up a life after nine deaths, which is naturally very cherished.

Luo Bing said: "Do you see clearly? Tall, could it be that someone wears a robe and puts his head in it to trick you?"

Hu Shiqi shook his head again and again, and said: "I have thought about what you said, that thing is fluttering, it passes a few feet in the blink of an eye, and the willow tree with the thickness of the bowl mouth, that thing was split with a sword, how can it be a person?"

"I really don't believe that it's not a person, how can I, as a public person, say nonsense, alas?" Hu Shiqi sighed and shook his head.

Nanyun Fei said: "The willow tree with the thickness of the bowl mouth? The willow tree is a five-yin wood, and the wood is hard, even if the hero Nan Jiyun wants to cut a willow tree with a thick bowl mouth with a knife, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it." ”

Hu Shiqi saw that there were many people, and his heart was down-to-earth, and he didn't say much, so he led the three of them into the depths of the willow forest.
