Chapter 10 Pulling out the cocoon

Before the evening, the ghost cried and they went to the county office.

As an official, the funeral of the county order is naturally different from that of ordinary people.

The family of the county order specially invited the Taoist priest to do it, so that the corpse would not be transformed, and then invited the goddess to summon the soul of the county order. It is not until the first seven days that a monk is invited to spend his time and a feast is held, so that the neighbors in the banquet can sing the praises of his merits during his lifetime, and after all this is done, the body will be burned, and the ashes and clothes in front of him will be collected in a coffin and buried in the mausoleum.

The whole process is costly and laborious, and only such a large family can afford it.

Therefore, now that the body of the prefectural order has not been burned, Ghost Cry explained their intention, and although the family in the county was very reluctant, Ghost Cry still saw the corpse.

None of the people went out, and in the mourning hall, the incense was smoking, the blush on the white paper man's face seemed to be wriggling with blood, and the strange smile was really terrifying in the candlelight.

Several people stood quietly around the coffin, and one of them was still fiddling with the corpse, and the atmosphere was eerie.

Cao Qingyun stopped fiddling with the corpse, straightened up, and sighed: "Sure enough, there is no scar on the body, no pain, just a simple ...... No soul. ”

Ghost Cry nodded in agreement, and he watched Cao Qingyun fiddling with the corpse from the side, and he really knew what was going on with this corpse of this county order.

"It can't be a spell. "Devil Cry is first sure that under the north wind, once the demonic energy is exposed, it will immediately be frozen and lose all the ability to change, in this case, it is impossible to cast the spell at all.

"But......" Nangong frowned: "Besides spells, what else can cause such a phenomenon?"

"Magical powers. Cai Wei interjected: "The north wind makes most spells unusable, but the supernatural powers are not spells, although many supernatural powers are also weakened, but they can't be completely restricted, at least, I haven't encountered the supernatural powers that are completely restricted by the north wind now." ”

"Definitely. The ghost cried and nodded.

In this regard, Nangong also agrees. Her supernatural powers need to be released, so with the arrival of the north wind, her supernatural powers have been restricted to a large part, but they have been strengthened in other aspects, and they cannot be completely restricted at all.

"There are many supernatural powers in the world, and there is always one that can achieve this effect, but what kind of supernatural power is it?" Cao Qingyun smiled bitterly.

Ghost Cry found that although this guy has an open-minded personality, he especially likes to smile bitterly, but he has a pair of eight-character eyebrows and a pair of eight-character mustaches, and when he laughs bitterly, he directly forms an embarrassing character, and he really can't bear to look at it directly.

Shaking his head and throwing these thoughts out of his mind, the ghost cried, "You're thinking a little wrong. ”

"Huh?" Cao Qingyun was stunned for a moment, he couldn't figure out what he was thinking wrong.

Ghost Cry is very calm, he has seen too many encounters, and now this situation does not make him panic.

"What we have to do now is not to guess what kind of supernatural power this is and how this supernatural power is used, but to find out the person or monster who is using it. ”

"Oops!" Cao Qingyun slapped his head hard and said with a wry smile: "Blame me, I'm always like this, not only do I react slowly, but my brain is also very dull." ”

"You're too dependent on others and don't want to think about things for yourself. Cai Wei rolled her eyes and said angrily. She should have thought of this kind of thing a long time ago, but when she came, she was led astray by Cao Qingyun, causing her to not expect this.

As for Cao Qingyun's stupidity and dull brain, just listen to him, he is not stupid at all, otherwise it would be impossible for him to attain the Tao before middle age.

Cao Qingyun shook his head, it was too tiring to use his brain, he only felt tired in his heart, and he really wanted to get into the bed and sleep.

He couldn't help but miss his uncle and brother, if they were still there, he would just have to do his part. I usually study and study cooking skills, satisfy my appetite, and occasionally go out to Qinglou to be chic and happy.

It's a pity that those days are gone.

It's also ironic, the two people who are devoted to the Tao, and are much stronger than Cao Qingyun in terms of ability and temperament, died. And Cao Qingyun, who has a tired personality, is happy to have fun, and has no ambitions, is living a good life, and he doesn't seem to be affected much.

Cao Qingyun thought wildly, and the ghost cried and spoke again: "Last night, where did this county order die?"

Cao Qingyun replied casually: "Since it was in his concubine's room, he died with his concubine." ”

"Take me to see it. ”

Cao Qingyun took the lantern and led everyone out of the mourning hall, and when he arrived at the door of a side room in the back house, he didn't look at the seal on the door, pushed open the door and walked in, saying, "It's inside." ”

Ghost Cry followed in: "Haven't moved?"

"It must have been moved. Cao Qingyun shook his head and said, "After I came, I told them not to move anymore, but before I came, there were already many people who came in and out here countless times. ”

"That's a bit of a problem. Ghost Cry put his hand into his sleeve and pulled the big mouth out: "Big mouth, you look around." ”

Big Mouth walked around and found nothing. In this regard, Cai Wei had already expected.

She had also gone to check the place where the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant died, and let Xiaobao and Xiaoxiaobao see it, but they didn't see anything special.

"Nothing was found. Getting the news, Cao Qingyun sighed again, this is already how much he sighed. He was now very upset, and if this matter was not over, he would not be able to live for a day.

Ay!

Now he began to miss the days before the north wind came, at that time, when encountering this kind of thing, one hexagram was divined, if one hexagram did not work, then two hexagrams, changing the way of divination, there was always a success.

"Nope. Ghost Cry denied Cao Qingyun's words: "There are still discoveries." ”

"What discovery?" Cao Qingyun looked confused.

Ghost Cry bypassed the screen, went to the window, and said, "The other party may have come in from this window." ”

Cao Qingyun was even more confused: "How do you know?"

"Because Big Mouth didn't find anything abnormal, it means that the other party didn't use the escape technique or the wall piercing technique to enter this room, and now the ghosts are also blown by the north wind and dare not show their heads, so it can't be ghosts and the like, so the rest, this is the way ordinary people enter the room. ”

This is the south, there is no winter artifact like kang, and the winter in the past was not so cold. Therefore, what people keep out the cold is either a warm pot or a charcoal pot.

And with charcoal basins, there is a problem, that is, the doors and windows must not be sealed. For example, in this room, a small window was opened, and a screen was placed between the bed and the small window, and then charcoal was burned in the house to keep out the cold.

This way, in this winter is naturally very difficult, but this can't be, people can only thicken the quilt and wear more clothes to resist the cold, the previous mode of keeping out the cold has not changed, it may be a habit problem, people's brains have not turned a corner, do not think of learning the set of the north.

"yes, I didn't think of that. Cao Qingyun patted his head again, and said excitedly: "The whole room, the door is closed, and the other windows are also closed, just this small window is open, so it is the easiest place to enter." Although the small window is smaller, let alone an adult, even an ordinary half-sized child can't get in, but the other party is not necessarily a person, maybe it is just enough for him to come in. ”

Look, this guy reacts quite quickly and isn't stupid at all, but the problem of being too lazy to use his brain is not saved.

However, just when the ghost cried and praised Cao Qingyun in his heart, Cao Qingyun said with a puzzled face: "But it's ......"
