Inside a relatively small tent, although simply furnished, there are still folding camp beds, tables and chairs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Xiaobai, don't mind! Stay first, I'll persuade Secretary Ling to let you make a move," Li Tiancheng said while helping Xiao Xiaobai make the bed: "This tent is mine, you can live in a tent with me tonight." ”

"It's okay," Xiao Xiaobai shook his head and smiled: "If you don't let me make a move, it will save trouble." ”

Saying that, Xiao Xiaobai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked curiously, "By the way, Uncle Li, the Master Qin they are talking about is..."

"It's a feng shui master in Ningcheng, and it's said that he's quite famous," Li Tiancheng explained, "In the past few days since he came, no one has really died." Now, he should still be doing it at the cemetery!"

Xiao Xiaobai smiled dumbly, and couldn't help but have a look of curiosity flashing in his eyes: "Uncle Li, can you take me over to have a look?" Let me see how this master does to exorcise evil spirits. ”

"Okay," Li Tiancheng, who was slightly stunned, nodded hurriedly and left the tent with Xiao Xiaobai, along the narrow valley, turned a corner, and crossed an obviously newly built, ancient bridge-style, arch bridge across a mountain and river.

In the center of the valley was a high platform, on which there was an altar-like thing, and an emaciated middle-aged man with loose hair and black and yellow Taoist robes was holding a peachwood sword, chanting words in his mouth, and sometimes throwing some rune paper out of the air. Beside him, there were four young men wearing ordinary Taoist robes, putting some rune paper in the four braziers at the four corners of the high platform and burning them.

In the valley, almost all the cemeteries are sprinkled with a lot of rune paper. Xiao Xiaobai stepped forward and reached out to pick up a piece of talisman paper on the ground, looked at it, and couldn't help but smile: "This ghost draws a talisman, it's a bit interesting." ”

"Oh, what's interesting, what does Mr. Xiao see?" chuckled, but it was the captain Lin who came.

Xiao Xiaobai, who turned his head to look at her, smiled casually: "This talisman is not drawn casually, and it may be able to start a role if you fool the ghost." ”

"Captain Lin, can you take me to the grave where the bodies of those dead people were found?" Xiao Xiaobai said and asked.

Captain Lin, who nodded lightly, led the way and took Xiao Xiaobai and Li Tiancheng straight towards the cemetery on one side.

However, as soon as they approached a tomb covered with paper talismans, a young Taoist priest with a long face who was sitting cross-legged on the side and chanting sutras got up and hurriedly met them and stopped them: "Captain Lin, the ritual has not been completed yet, so you can't get close here." ”

"Can't you just look at it?" Captain Lin's heroic sword eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The long-faced young Taoist priest didn't speak, but the meaning of that serious expression was self-evident.

"Forget it, Captain Lin, since people are doing things, let's not bother," Xiao Xiaobai, who said with a light smile, turned around and returned the same way first.

Seeing this, Captain Lin, Li Tiancheng, and the long-faced young Taoist priest were all slightly stunned. And seeing that Captain Lin and Li Tiancheng looked at each other and turned around to follow Xiao Xiaobai, the long-faced young Taoist priest couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Mr. Xiao, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Captain Lin quickly chased after Xiao Xiaobai and frowned and asked.

Xiao Xiaobai smiled indifferently and said, "Now that you've seen it, what are you doing there?" Captain Lin, the bodies of those dead people haven't been taken away yet, can you? Take me to see their corpses!"

"Have you seen it?" Captain Lin, who frowned and looked at Xiao Xiaobai, his beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and then he nodded slightly.

Captain Lin, who quickly returned to the camp, took Xiao Xiaobai and Li Tiancheng directly to a tent at the edge of the camp.

"Captain Lin!" The two policemen guarding the door of the tent couldn't help but rush forward and shout politely when they saw Captain Lin.

Captain Lin, who nodded lightly, took Xiao Xiaobai and Li Tiancheng straight into the tent.

In the empty tent, a corpse lay on five simple marching beds side by side. It was five men, one in a suit and the other four dressed in a slightly modest way. He is not very old, he looks like he is twenty or thirty years old, and the oldest should be only forty years old. They all lay quietly with ruddy faces, as if they were asleep, and it was hard to believe that they were five corpses.

The moment he saw them, Xiao Xiaobai couldn't help but change his face with his eyes shrinking. Although he had heard what Li Tiancheng had said for a long time, seeing this scene in person still made Xiao Xiaobai feel trembling. Weird and incomprehensible things are always easy to make people feel inexplicably afraid and afraid.

Even Li Tiancheng, although it was not the first time he had seen these five corpses, his face changed slightly in an instant, and he was a little afraid to look at them directly. Only Captain Lin seemed relatively calm, and looked curiously at Xiao Xiaobai who was walking towards a corpse.

Looking at the corpse lying on the marching bed nearby, Xiao Xiaobai, who took a breath with a little bated breath, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and briefly examined the corpse, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Mr. Xiao, how is it? Do you see anything?" Captain Lin stepped forward and asked.

Xiao Xiaobai, who waved his hand lightly, looked at the corpse with flickering eyes, and then moved his fingertips to condense an energy needle, and then pierced the energy needle into an acupuncture point on the corpse's chest, and his fingers twisted slightly.

Soon, under the surprised gaze of Captain Lin and Li Tiancheng, who did not dare to approach the door, a faint mist like red mist on the chest of the corpse at the fingertips escaped, and then Xiao Xiaobai's head leaned over and suddenly inhaled it all into its nostrils.

After closing his eyes and feeling the red mist, Xiao Xiaobai suddenly staggered back with a slight tremble, if it weren't for Captain Lin's quick hand to step forward to support him, I was afraid that he would fall to the ground.

"I see!" Xiao Xiaobai, who slowly opened his eyes, couldn't help but murmur with the corners of his mouth slightly bright.

Captain Lin couldn't help but hurriedly ask, "Mr. Xiao, what have you discovered? Do you know the cause of their death?"

"The cause of death?" Xiao Xiaobai smiled when he heard this, and then said a little mysteriously: "I have figured out the reason a little, but it is difficult to say now." Captain Lin doesn't need to ask, when the time comes, you will understand. ”

"Oh, after a day of driving, I'm tired, and my whole body is about to fall apart. Uncle Li, let's go, let's go back! I want to sleep and recuperate well, I'm afraid that I won't be able to live in peace at night," Xiao Xiaobai, who greeted Li Tiancheng with a smile, walked straight out of the tent.

Captain Lin, who watched Xiao Xiaobai leave, couldn't help but frown: "This kid, is he playing tricks, or does he really see something?"

Back in the tent, Li Tiancheng saw that Xiao Xiaobai was really about to fall asleep on the bed, so he couldn't help frowning and stepped forward to pull Xiao Xiaobai and said, "Xiaobai, what have you found here? Are you really going to sleep?"

"Why don't you sleep?" Xiao Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Uncle Li, aren't you tired after a day of driving? ”

"Hey, you.." Seeing that Xiao Xiaobai turned around and lay on the marching bed and fell asleep with his eyes closed, Li Tiancheng, who was a little depressed and speechless, could only turn around and go out helplessly.

After Li Tiancheng went out, Xiao Xiaobai, who opened his eyes lightly, couldn't help but smile lightly at the corners of his mouth, then sat up, crossed his knees and closed his eyes, and slowly entered the state of cultivation.

Outside the tent, Captain Lin, who came over later, saw Li Tiancheng come out with a frowning brow, and couldn't help asking, "Are you really asleep?"

"Didn't you really sleep!" Li Tiancheng sighed helplessly: "You said that we were in a hurry, but he was... Hey!"

Captain Lin, who took a deep look at the tent, shook his head lightly and said, "Since that's the case, let's not be in a hurry." Anyway, several days have passed, and it won't be a while. Listen to him, it seems that something will happen at night. Secretary-General Li, you go and talk to Secretary Ling first, and I will also arrange it, just in case, let the brothers be careful at night. ”

Li Tiancheng, who nodded in response, acted separately with Captain Lin.

Unconsciously twilight, the sky was getting late, and the night was slowly falling, Li Tiancheng, who came back with dinner, saw Xiao Xiaobai sitting quietly with his eyes closed on the bed, and was hesitating to ask him to get up to eat, Xiao Xiaobai, whose nose moved slightly, opened his eyes and looked at Li Tiancheng with a smile: "Uncle Li, have you eaten? What is there to eat for dinner?"

"Xiaobai, can you really eat?" Seeing Xiao Xiaobai take a dinner from his hand, open the lunch box and eat it like a wolf, Li Tiancheng was really a little helpless.

Xiao Xiaobai nodded and said vaguely: "If you don't eat enough, how can you work at night?"
