Volume 1 Sigils Chapter 20 Chance Encounters
As night falls, there are still a lot of people coming and going on the streets of the county seat of Qun'an County, but the flow of people has gradually decreased.
Xiao Xiaoqi was scurrying around the alley with a pre-danger lamp at this time.
In fact, he didn't think that he could find the ghost bride, not to mention whether this thing was true or not, even if it was true, the probability of being encountered by Xiao Xiaoqi was extremely low.
So what Xiao Xiaoqi wants to find is yesterday's murder scene, this is very simple, as long as someone has just died nearby, the pre-danger lamp can take Xiao Xiaoqi to find it.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the precautionary lamp led Xiao Xiaoqi to a very remote corner, where no one was seen and no one lived here, only a dilapidated ancient temple in front of him.
No, Lan Lan said that last night's murder happened in an alley, why did the pre-danger lamp lead Xiao Xiaoqi here?
However, Xiao Xiaoqi still walked towards the ancient temple, and the pre-danger lamp led him here, there should be some reason.
Sniff~ Xiao Xiaoqi's nose moved at this time, he smelled a smell of blood, the closer he got to the ancient temple, the bigger the smell!
Xiao Xiaoqi still didn't flinch, and carefully stepped into the gate of the ancient temple......
The surroundings were very quiet, Xiao Xiaoqi stepped on the straw, and the sound of rustling was very loud.
Xiao Xiaoqi observed the overall situation of the ancient temple, the ancient temple is very dilapidated, the roof is broken with many holes, the first thing that catches the eye is an unknown stone statue in the middle, the moonlight shines on the face of the stone statue, but it looks particularly terrifying.
Xiao Xiaoqi looked at the rest of the temple again, and suddenly, in a corner, Xiao Xiaoqi saw a corpse!
The leaky hole in the roof led the moonlight down, which just shone on the face of the corpse, allowing Xiao Xiaoqi to see the pale face full of fear very clearly!
Xiao Xiaoqi hurriedly approached to take a look, and it seemed that this was not the scene of last night's murder, but a new murder scene.
Xiao Xiaoqi stood next to the corpse and saw that it was a man who died, dressed as a servant, and a hole was dug out of his chest and heart, and the cause of death should be that he died by being heartbroken!
The man's eyes widened, his pupils dilated, his mouth open, and his expression was full of fear, as if he had seen a ghost.
Xiao Xiaoqi found out at this time that the blood on the chest of the corpse was still flowing, and it was obvious that he had just died, but Xiao Xiaoqi didn't see any movement outside just now, so he said...... The killer may still be here!
Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly felt something, he turned around sharply, but saw a pale woman in a red wedding dress floating at the door, staring at Xiao Xiaoqi!
Ghost bride! Xiao Xiaoqi was taken aback, and then turned into a surprise, great, finally saw a real ghost, Xiao Xiaoqi rushed to the ghost bride.
The ghost bride thought that Xiao Xiaoqi would be scared to death, but she never thought that it was this kind of reaction, but the ghost bride was scared and quickly turned around and left.
Don't run! Xiao Xiaoqi was naturally unwilling to give up, so he followed closely.
The ghost bride's body seemed to have no weight, and she easily floated over a high wall, and Xiao Xiaoqi was not bad, her body was light, and she easily climbed over the high wall.
The ghost bride ran away like crazy, and Xiao Xiaoqi chased after her like crazy.
People are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points, this sentence makes sense, such as the current situation.
The ghost bride wondered in her heart, what is the origin of this little brat? Aren't you afraid that the old lady will eat you?
Although she thought so in her heart, the ghost bride couldn't help but speed up.
After a while, a forest appeared in front of her, and the ghost bride plunged directly into it.
It was difficult to find it in the woods, and in a hurry, Xiao Xiaoqi took something out of his pocket and threw it out.
Bang! Oops! hit the ghost bride, but the ghost bride just threw herself into the jungle.
Xiao Xiaoqi quickly caught up, but he didn't see the ghost bride again.
Xiao Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, could it be that he stoned a ghost to death!
Meow, meow! Xiao Xiaoqi found that an eyeball under his feet was calling him, it was Meow Eye! It turned out that it was this meow eye that was thrown out and smashed into the ghost bride in a hurry just now.
Meow Eye showed grievances in his eyes, as if telling Xiao Xiaoqi not to litter pets.
Xiao Xiaoqi looked indifferent, why did he dislike this eyeball so much, but he still put it away.
There's no way, Xiao Xiaoqi has done everything that should be done now, and he has no other clues, I believe that the body in the ancient temple should be found soon.
Xiao Xiaoqi was about to go back to the Blue Mansion, but he had been out for too long, and he didn't know if the ghost species pretending to be him had caused any trouble.
In fact, the ghost species is causing trouble for Xiao Xiaoqi.
And just after Xiao Xiaoqi left, a white blue-crowned parrot flew out of the woods, then stared closely at the direction of Xiao Xiaoqi's departure, and after a while, it flapped its wings and flew out.
In the Blue Mansion, the fake Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly fought with the big yellow dog Huangshan, a ghost and a dog were hostile to each other, but they didn't dare to act rashly, so they could only chase after each other.
Lan Ying didn't have time to care about Xiao Xiaoqi after seeing it, so she could only let them play.
Lan Lan also began to set the table and prepare the utensils for eating, when she saw Tang Mu lying in the hall.
Lan Lan hurriedly walked over and picked up Tang Mu, "Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu, why are you sleeping here?" She thought Tang Mu was asleep.
After a while, Tang Mu woke up slowly, and his first reaction after waking up was, "Ghosts, there are ghosts!"
Lan Lan felt inexplicable, shook Tang Mu, and said, "What the hell, what the hell, see clearly, I'm your mother!"
Tang Mu calmed down at this time, looked around, and asked, "Mother, where is Xiaoqi?"
Lan Lan raised her head and pointed outside, "Playing with Huangshan outside." ”
Tang Mu looked at it, if this was the case, Xiao Xiaoqi and Huangshan were chasing each other, and everything seemed normal.
"Let me ask you again, why did you sleep on the ground when you were sleepy, and you were still suspicious and had nightmares, right?" Lan Lan asked.
Tang Mu scratched his head, he couldn't figure out the situation now, could it be all a dream just now?
At this time, the blue sky group is back!
When Lan Lan saw it, she shouted happily, "Dad, you're back!"
Next to Lan Tianqun, there was also a young man, this young man's name was Tang Chen, who was Lan Lan's husband, that is, Xiao Xiaoqi's uncle.
Lan Tianqun and Tang Chen were still chatting about something while walking.
Hearing Lan Lan's shout, Lan Ying also hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and said in surprise, "Dad!"
The blue sky group, which was still discussing, was stunned when they saw Lan Ying.
Tang Chen next to him was the first to react, "Yo, little sister is back." ”
Lan Ying nodded politely and called out to her brother-in-law.
Lan Tianqun said happily at this time, "Dead girl, I know I'm back!"
"My daughter is not filial and can't come back to visit her father often, so this time I came to celebrate your birthday. ”
Lan Tianqun sighed and said, "It's good for people to come back." ”
At this time, Tang Mu came over, "Grandpa, my grandson is here to pay you a birthday greeting, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea, and your longevity is better than ......."
Lan Lan hurriedly covered Tang Mu's mouth and didn't let him continue, and then said, "These words will be said tomorrow, today is not a birthday." ”
Tang Muhan laughed, feeling a little embarrassed.
However, it also caused Lan Tianqun to laugh and said, "Xiao Mu is also smart and clever, and he will definitely have a future in the future." ”
Hearing this, Tang Mu looked proud, children are so easy to be satisfied.
Lan Tianqun asked Lan Ying again, "By the way, where is Xiaoqi?
"Xiao Qi ......" Lan Ying glanced into the courtyard, but saw that Xiao Xiaoqi was actually scuffling with the big yellow dog Huangshan.
Lan Tianqun looked at Lan Ying's line of sight, and naturally found Xiao Xiaoqi, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Children love to play, it's good." ”
However, Lan Tianqun frowned slightly, always feeling that Xiao Xiaoqi was a little strange, but he didn't know what was strange.
Lan Ying was already complaining about Xiao Xiaoqi in her heart at this time, the eldest sister's children would say congratulations, but you kid was messing around with a dog, what a shame for the old lady!
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Lan Lan immediately said again, "Don't stand here, let's get ready to eat!"
Everyone walked inside, preparing to eat, while Lan Ying walked to the courtyard, intending to arrest Xiao Xiaoqi back.
But this Xiao Xiaoqi is fake, Lan Ying will know as soon as he catches it, and once he is discovered, he doesn't know how to explain it.
"Xiaoqi, eat, stop playing. Lan Ying said and hugged Xiao Xiaoqi.
really hugged it, which also shows that this Xiao Xiaoqi is real.
Xiao Xiaoqi glanced at his palm at this time, the ghost seed had been taken back by him, fortunately, he rushed back just now and didn't let Lan Ying find out.
At the dinner table, Xiao Xiaoqi finally saw his grandfather, Lan Tianqun's facial features were neat, sharp and angular, although he was sixty years old, he was still upright.
Xiao Xiaoqi also found that his grandfather had a faint fluctuation of the essence of heaven and earth, this fluctuation Xiao Xiaoqi had only felt in the sheepbeard old dao, could it be that the blue sky group was also a cultivator?
After a meal, Lan Ying and Lan Tianqun chatted a lot, all of which were homely, and Xiao Xiaoqi was not interested.
Originally, Lan Tianqun still wanted to talk to Xiao Xiaoqi, but because Xiao Xiaoqi couldn't speak, he didn't have to talk.
The strange thing is that Lan Tianqun never mentioned Xiao Xiaoqi's father Chopin from beginning to end, as if he didn't want to see him.
Soon, the meal passed, and everyone went back to their rooms to wash up and rest.
The next morning, sure enough, the dead body of the ancient temple was found.
The government immediately cordoned off the scene and did not allow anyone to approach, but according to insiders, the modus operandi of the two consecutive homicides was the same, and the deceased were all servants of the Lin family.
And some people recognized that the two dead servants were the doglegs of the third young master of the Lin family, and the rumored ghost bride was originally the third young master who was going to marry the concubine who entered the door, but she hanged herself on the wedding night.
The surrounding people couldn't sit still, and they all said that the dead bride had turned into a ghost and came back to seek revenge.
For this matter, the government is about to scratch its head, there is the king of Zhennan behind the Lin family, forcing the government to solve the case quickly, and the people are panicking, if it is not good, all the officials in Qun'an County will be removed.
For this matter, the county magistrate came many times to invite Xiao Xiaoqi's grandfather Lan Tianqun to help.
Lan Ying was puzzled, his father had long ignored the government and was not a good judge of the case, why did the government come to him many times to discuss?
In the end, Lan Ying couldn't help but ask, "Dad, why is the county magistrate of Qun'an County looking for you so often? It's your birthday today, so it's rude to disturb you so much!"
Lan Tianqun smiled and explained, "Have you forgotten what your father and I used to do? Dad used to be the imperial eunuch of the dynasty, and he knew a little bit about feng shui metaphysics, but this time it involved the ghost bride, and the county magistrate thought that I would give an opinion for reference, so as to appease the emotions of the people." ”
Lan Ying suddenly realized, and said, "But today is your birthday, so don't run around." ”
"It's okay, I'll go and come back. "The blue sky group still went out in the end, people are old, but their hearts can't be idle.
It's a pity that Xiao Xiaoqi is not here, otherwise if he knew that Lan Tianqun had been a Qin Tianjian before, he would definitely discuss it with his grandfather.
So what is Xiao Xiaoqi doing, he is hiding in the room, tinkering with a sigil.
Let the ghost bride run away last night, Xiao Xiaoqi was very depressed, so he planned to get a ghost arrest talisman to print, and the next time he saw the ghost bride, he could catch it directly.
However, after trying all morning, Xiao Xiaoqi has not succeeded.
At this time, Xiao Xiaoqi ran to the backyard and pasted the ghost catching rune paper on the ground, and then, the rune paper generated a super strong gravitational force, trying to absorb the surrounding things.
According to Xiao Xiaoqi's assumption, ghosts should belong to some kind of energy body, so he created a ghost catching sigil based on this characteristic.
However, when I came down in the morning, the ghost catching sigil couldn't absorb anything except the leaves and dust around it, so it was not bad to use it to clean the yard.
Xiao Xiaoqi also deliberately used ghost seeds for experiments, but the effect was very small, I don't know if it can be successful this time?
At this time, the surrounding leaves began to be sucked by the ghost capture rune, but the ghost seed in Xiao Xiaoqi's hand did not react at all, and it seemed that it had failed again.
At this moment, poof, a white blue-crowned parrot suddenly fell from the sky, no, it seemed to have been sucked down by the ghost catching sigil.
Well, the ghost catching sigil has one more function after the sweeping function, catching birds.
At this moment, the parrot on the ground suddenly spoke, "Let go of this seat, or I will kill your whole family!"
