174.Chapter 174: The Ghost Feast of Maoling (28)
The fairy warlock still looks like a peach daughter, but under his left armpit is a maid who does not know whether she is dead or alive. I don't know if I passed out due to thick smoke, or if I was unfortunate because of pulmonary edema due to inhaling too hot air.
Seeing that this young official from Luoyang finally came out of the fire, whether it was the old lady Wang or the old villager, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Although the Luoyang son in front of him said that he acted Meng Lang, his demeanor and bearing were not comparable to ordinary people, although he didn't know which family came out of a big family, but he was definitely not a character who should be provoked by a small family in Huaili.
However, the young owner of the Wang family is the heart of a young man after all, and when he saw Wei Ye walking out of the fire, he hurriedly greeted him, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Wei, my wife's room is ......."
Wei Ye was covered in black ash, and he didn't look burned, but this immortal warlock who didn't look damaged had a completely unhappy look between his eyebrows. Behind him, although the fire was not big, a wave of heat was surging around the young official's body, scorching people to their feet.
The young owner of the Wang family has been following his father to take care of the guest house for some years, and his mind is always more awake than others. Seeing that the immortal warlock's complexion was wrong, the young owner of the Wang family insisted on suppressing his worries about his wife at this time, and changed his words: "...... But what is his identity, how dare Mr. Lao take risks. ”
Wei Ye pushed the handmaid who was holding under her armpit and didn't move to the half-cut head, and didn't pick up the words of the young owner of the Wang family, so he arched his hand to the old lady Wang: "Old lady, your daughter-in-law is no longer in the cave room, and a big hole has been broken in the roof of the cave house, and the maid who serves the daughter-in-law is also ......."
He turned to one side and made way for a void, and the half-headed head had already picked up the maid in his arms horizontally and showed it to the people who came around.
This handmaid looks not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her talent is not outstanding, but she also looks a little gratifying in her cardamom years. Just lying in the arms of the half-headed tuo, but he was motionless, his face was quiet, as if he had fallen into a dark and sweet dream.
The local villager once ran through the yamen and knew some of the methods of autopsy, so he boldly touched the top of the maid's head, and then said with a calm face: "This girl has just lost her breath, and the entire parietal bone has collapsed, and the gangster has a heavy hand." ”
Hearing the villager say this, the people around him were in an uproar, although the Wang family is only a family of businessmen, but the Wang family's reputation for being kind and charitable in Huaili County is not fake. No one would have thought that on the day of the wedding of the young owner of the Wang family, such a murder case occurred.
Since the maids who served the bride were all killed, the bride of the royal family was also in a bad situation, and it is impossible to say whether she was taken captive like this, or whether she also died in the cave room. At this time, there were many people who rushed to the back house, and most of the greeting guests who had not yet had time to say goodbye also gathered here to watch the excitement in the name of firefighting.
"The widow was not very proper, and on the day of the wedding, there was trouble. ”
"This kind of calamity, which one is the hanging? Robbery is definitely not counted, if you want to talk about robbing relatives, how can there be a reason to rob relatives and kill people and set fires? That is, the thieves want to find and suppress Mrs. Zhai, and there is no such thing as being so unsophisticated!"
"This little lady is said to be from Chang'an, doesn't she have some rights and wrongs? Otherwise, how can she marry into the Wang family so neatly?"
"Pity the Wang family for being so kind, but how can they provoke so much right and wrong!"
"How can there be so much gossip to talk about, it is right to save your strength and help the Wang family pick up more water to extinguish the fire!"
In the chaos of people's words, Wei Ye hugged his fist at the old lady Wang and said apologetically: "It seems that this matter is strange today, but fortunately, it was discovered when the fire started, so it will not cause a big disaster." Now, I have to wait until after dawn to enter the city gate to report to the official. ”
Naturally, what Wei Ye really wants to say is not this, but the inner key is not enough for the Wang family to do.
Mrs. Wang only barely cheered up, and said politely: "Where did the officials come from, everything today is thanks to the officials, and the little old man is really grateful......
Without saying much to the old man, Wei Ye nodded in greeting, and then nodded towards the half-headed Tuo: "Bring this corpse to the front first." ”
......
.........
Wei Ye put on the Qingxi Taoist robe, and on the other hand, he took the girdle silk from Sima Ling's hand and tied it up. The immortal warlock swept his eyes, and just saw the half-headed Tuo walking on the side with the dead maid in his arms, singing the Buddha's horn softly, and his face was full of regret:
"Nam no Patience Perseverance Jizo King Bodhisattva, Nam Mu Bright Vajra Jizo King Bodhisattva, Nan Mu Ten Rounds of Suffering Jizo King Bodhisattva ......"
The immortal warlock knows that if a person who cultivates Buddha cannot cultivate the initial realm of liberation from all the confusions in the realm of broken desires, even if he is known as a high monk, he is not much different from a layman. The half-headed Buddha looks like a penance, but it is only a layer of pure and filthy cultivation, and he has just crossed the edge of wanting to define and touch the realm of the four meditation heavens, and it is estimated that he can't withstand the temptation at all in this way of male and female love.
The immortal warlock didn't expose him, and tightened the silk around his waist before pointing towards a firewood room at the base of the wall: "Place this girl there first, this girl is still useful to us." If you don't want to see the bell, just guard the door and let it out. ”
As soon as these words came out, not only the half-headed Tuo, but even Sima Ling's eyes were a little strange when he looked at him.
Wei Ye didn't care about them, kicked open the door of the firewood room, went straight past the maid who had been dead for a long time, put it down on the ground, and closed the firewood door again, only then did he glance at Sima Ling, and found that his oil bottle had no intention of leaving, so he said with some pity: "Then girl, don't be afraid." ”
Before he could finish his words, the fairy warlock shook his shoulder, and the peach gold came out of the sheath, turned into a red light, and slashed straight in front of the forehead of the maid's corpse. Even with the hardness and density of a human skull, it will break open abruptly when it encounters the edge of a peach gold.
The sword was slashed, and Sima Ling gagged his mouth with his hand, but he didn't call out. However, what she saw in her eyes was not the blood and brains that she had imagined.
Opposite her, the half-headed Tuo held the tin staff in his hand, and he also looked like a great enemy.
Wei Ye didn't care about their reactions, leaned down and used the peach gold to open the severed skull, so that they could see what was under the skull fragment.
Where the pale skull was cut by the blade of the sword, under the skin and under the adhesion of the bones, there was not a drop of blood in sight, and there was no brain marrow in sight. A spider the size of a fist crouched in its cranial cavity. And the body of this spider is like the face of this dead maid.
