On the way, the old housekeeper had already told the Liang family in detail what happened after Old Master Liang was cremated.
After Qin He left, the Liang family buried Old Master Liang according to etiquette.
Everything was fine, and the Liang family gradually let down their guard and planned to return to normal life.
At this time, bad news came.
Liang Shijie's third son, his family of three and servants, a total of seven people, died suddenly overnight.
The death was horrific, with teeth and claw marks all over the body.
The entire Liang family suddenly fell into great panic. Liang Shijie suppressed the grief of losing his son and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to spend a lot of money to hire someone to take care of the matter.
Time was tight at the time, just like the previous time when someone was hired to suppress the corpse, whoever was hired would be the one to grab at as a life-saving straw, except for Feiyuwei.
The first one was a wizard from the Bagua Sect. When he arrived, he boasted that he could settle the matter and set up an altar to kill the demon. He did that for almost half the night.
I thought he could really handle it, but he ended up jumping into a well and drowning in the middle of the night.
The second one was a temple attendant from Chaoyun Temple. When he came, he also started to talk about the Longmen Formation. However, he got diarrhea before he could set up the Longmen Formation, so he went to the toilet. The Liang family waited for a long time but he didn't come out. They forced the door open and saw that he had fallen into the pit and drowned.
The third one was a witch from the Qushang River. It was said that she was in communication with a carp spirit there and could summon spirits to possess her. She was quite skilled in this art. She arrived and was about to settle the matter when the carp spirit suddenly possessed her. The carp spirit opened its eyes and looked around without saying anything. Anyway, after the witch came to her senses, she ran away without saying a word, saying that her skills were limited and asked the Liang family to find someone else.
After that, the Liang family could no longer hire anyone.
The two who died and the one who escaped were all famous figures in the neighborhood. Their abilities might not be as good, but it depends on who you compare them with. They each had some unique skills.
Anyone who heard about this kind of outcome would be daunted.
It is not impossible to ask for someone with higher Taoism skills, and the Liang family has also sent someone, but the problem is that it is not easy to bring the expert back in a short time.
A disaster is imminent in the home.
At this point, Liang Shijie remembered the one-star cremator brought by Yang Baitou.
It is said that he only has the title but no real work, and is just a cremator, affiliated with the East City Military Department, and has nothing to do with the Feiyu Guard.
In addition, the cremator's skills were extraordinary, and he immediately froze the old man who was trying to get up from the dead.
This is why the old butler knelt in the East City Crematorium.
The Liang family is actually at their wit's end.
They couldn't leave even if they wanted to, because the evil spirit had completely sealed off the Liang family. No one in the Liang family could leave the house at all. At the beginning, some servants with strong fate could enter and leave, but later they couldn't leave either.
This includes the old butler.
Before the old butler set off, more than a dozen members of the Liang family died one after another, and their deaths became more and more horrific. At first, they lost body parts, such as fingers, ears, noses, eyes, etc.
What follows is the ripping out of one's heart and lungs, and the disembowelment.
The entire Liang family hid in the ancestral hall and dared not go out. More than a day had passed, and it was still unknown if anyone was alive. Even if there was, they would have run out of food and drink.
"Please, great immortal, save the dozens of people in my Liang family." The old housekeeper knelt on the ground and kowtowed, tears streaming down his face. Before leaving the Liang family, Liang Shijie entrusted his life to him.
"Okay, okay, get up."
Qin He helped him up from the ground and confirmed, "Well, I've been traveling all over the world, and I just need a place to stay in the capital. Ahem... you know."
"You can live in the Liang family. The Liang family will definitely treat you as a distinguished guest. You can come to the Liang family anytime." The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly.
Qin He was speechless. Is this the point?
The point is the temple, it’s a temple.
After changing your identity, you have to repeat what you said at the door of the crematorium. Otherwise, if the job is done but there is no "temple built", you will be in big trouble.
"Ahem, I'm not used to living in someone else's house." Qin He shook his head.
"It doesn't matter. There is an inn owned by my Liang family at Lianghe Wharf, only three miles away from here. You can live there. The environment is quiet and no one will disturb you." The old butler said again.
"I am an immortal, and immortals cannot live in the mortal world." Qin He continued to shake his head.
"Ah...this, this, this."
The old housekeeper didn't know what to do. They were already at the door, and the Green Ox Immortal suddenly put forward a condition. What should he do?
As for what he said before about building a shrine, it was just something he said casually.
The custom of building ancestral temples was started by Wei Zhongliang, the emperor's right-hand man. Gradually, many local officials also began to secretly recommend that their subordinates build ancestral temples for them, which was said to have the magical effect of accumulating merit and being blessed with good fortune.
The old butler didn't take it seriously at all, because compared to half of the family wealth, a ancestral temple was nothing.
Qin He was a little anxious and hinted frantically: "The immortals live in the temple, do you understand?"
The old housekeeper didn't understand what he was saying anymore, so he said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, the immortal lives in the temple. When the Liang family affairs are settled, I will build a temple for the immortal to thank him for his kindness."
Qin He was immediately relieved and looked at the old butler with praise, "You said this, but I didn't ask for it."
"Everything is voluntary on the part of the Liang family. It's voluntary on the part of the Liang family." The old housekeeper nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Well, I observed the celestial phenomena at night and found that the eastern part of Kyoto is suitable for building a temple."
"no problem."
"That's right. Since you and I have such a good relationship, I will help you get rid of this evil spirit. You just wait outside for me to pick you up." Qin He smiled widely.
After saying this, Qin He stepped into the Liang family's house.
The moment he entered, he was covered by evil fog. When he turned around, the old butler was gone and he found himself in a bamboo forest.
There was fog all around, and the Liang family residence was vaguely visible.
A faint light flashed in Qin He's eyes.
The art of looking at qi!
In an instant, the bamboo forest disappeared.
The old butler was waiting outside the door, pacing back and forth eagerly.
"How dare you show off your mere magic in front of an expert~" Qin He put two fingers together and walked towards the Liang family ancestral hall, where a faint white light was resisting the fog.
When they arrived at the place, Qin He pushed the door open and walked in.
"Squeak~"
The door was propped up by various heavy objects.
However, Qin He was very strong and pushed them all away.
The Liang family was immediately terrified and cried for their parents. The leader, holding a copper seal, roared with bloodshot eyes, "You bold monster! I am a high-ranking official, blessed with the dynasty's fortune and authority. Come on, if you are not afraid of death!"
As he roared, the white light on his body became brighter, and even the bronze seal in his hand began to emit a hazy color.
This is the power of an official.
Dali has been founded for hundreds of years and has accumulated countless people's thoughts and power. This is a great fortune.
This good fortune was bestowed not only on the royal family and the emperor, but also on all the officials in the court.
All officials with official rank have the power of official authority, which has little effect on people, but is very effective in resisting demons, ghosts and monsters.
Otherwise, demons and monsters will steal the power of the temple and cause great harm.
Moreover, official authority is a symbol of the purity of all officials. If an official's official authority suddenly disappears, it is either because he has been demoted or has been invaded by demons.
Liang Shijie is a third-rank official. He has the authority of a third-rank official to protect him, and with the blessing of the official seal in his hand, nothing can get close to him unless it is extremely powerful.
This is also the reason why Liang Shijie can survive with the rest of his family until now.
"I am the Great Immortal Qingniu. I have been invited by the steward of the Liang Mansion to come and eliminate the demon." Qin He said in a deep voice.
The Liang family members looked at each other in confusion. Liang Shijie was the first to react: "You, you are the rescuer?"
"That's right." Qin He nodded.
Liang Shijie was overjoyed and quickly stood up and bowed, "May I ask your name, sir?"
"I am the Great Immortal Qingniu. You all should go out. I am in a hurry." Qin He didn't want to waste any more time.
The conditions have been put forward and the old housekeeper has agreed, so let's do it.
It would be best to get back to the crematorium before dark so as not to miss the distribution of corpses. If I am not there, Ling Zhonghai will definitely give me a vacancy.
A group of bandits, robbers, habitual thieves and others died today. Maybe we can burn one of their bodies.
When Liang Shijie heard this, how could he not agree?
He has been trapped in this ancestral temple for four or five days, living in fear and without food or water. Even if he is not killed by the evil spirits, he will die of thirst or starvation.
Then Qin He led the Liang family out of the ancestral hall, circled it several times, and sent them out the gate.
The reason for going around is because of the influence of illusion. The illusion set up by evil spirits can cover people's eyes, and many of the things they see are hallucinations.
It looks like there is a stone in front of you, but in fact it is the road. It looks like there is a door leading out, but in fact it is a trick to lure you to turn around. You will find yourself going around in circles and getting stuck in a maze without realizing it.
Qin He couldn't explain too much to them, so he just went around in circles to avoid wasting time. The result would be the same anyway.
But in the eyes of the Liang family, these were magical. The gate that they could not walk out of before was now led out by the Green Ox Immortal after a few rounds.
The whole family was so excited that they burst into tears, and they knelt down and kowtowed to Qin He.
Qin He ignored them and turned back, leaving them with an even more mysterious figure.
Back at Liang's house, Qin He looked around.
It was discovered that the Liang family was filled with not only evil spirits, but also ghostly spirits, resentment, and hostility.
It is simply a combination of the "five poisons".
This made Qin He wonder how a demon that was obviously not very powerful could cause such a big commotion.
More importantly, Qin He could not locate the source of the evil spirit, even after activating the Qi-Seeing Technique.
It's as if these things exist by themselves.
Qin He couldn't figure it out and was too lazy to think about it.
Everything will become clear in due time.
It’s a pity that I can’t proactively discover the source of the evil spirit. I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it in time for the corpse cremation tonight.
But things finally looked bright, and Qin He was pleasantly surprised to discover that some of Liang Shijie's dead family members had not even had time to be buried, and their bodies were placed in coffins and buried in the same mourning hall where Old Master Liang was suppressed.
There are five coffins in total.
He must have died after the evil spirit sealed the door.
It was very sloppy. Only one coffin was a proper coffin, and the other four were made of door panels.
It is a pity that the mansion of a third-rank official was disturbed, causing his family to be broken up and his relatives to die, unable to live in peace.
But it's all my own fault. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
Qin He observed carefully and found that these corpses all showed signs of mutation. The corpses had been eroded by evil spirits, resentment, and hostility for a long time, and it was easy for them to rise from the dead.
It depends on the situation. It will only take one or two days.
By that time, when the bodies were all gathered, Liang Shijie, not to mention his authority as a third-rank official, even a first-rank official in the cabinet would not be able to withstand it.
There is no doubt that this must be the work of evil spirits.
Qin He immediately started to feel itchy. A body was left at the crematorium tonight, so he had to get it back.
There are five bodies in front of me, and I cannot let them go no matter what.
In a word, whatever the evil spirits want to do, I will do the opposite.
It would be perfect if we could provoke it and make it show up. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome if it doesn't take action.
Qin He immediately went to get firewood.
The Liang family is wealthy and powerful, so they naturally have no shortage of firewood, fuel oil, coal, etc.
After finishing, Qin He opened the coffin directly.
The body wasn't badly mutilated, just some small parts at most, but the bite and claw marks on it were frighteningly numerous.
The thing that pounced on people and bit them was very manic and crazy. I really didn't know what it was.
There were many scars on the body, so it took a lot of time to cover them up. Qin He searched the women's room and found rouge and powder. After a lot of work, he finally made it presentable.
At this time, Wan Qinhe discovered that the rouge and powder used by this woman to cover her face was much more effective than flour, so he put it into the space under her armpit.
After applying the powder, he began to fill in the gaps. He took a piece of wood and used the wood carving technique to quickly carve out the shapes of ears, nose, eyes, and mouth, and then carefully glued them on.
The corpse purification is completed.
There was plenty of firewood, so the five bodies were burned together with the coffins.
Please bring out the flint and start a blazing fire.
At the moment when the corpse was set on fire, Qin He keenly felt something cold and sinister staring at his back.
Behind it, one can clearly feel the cautiousness of scrutiny and observation.
Use the wind-hearing technique and the wind-hearing hearing technique at the same time.
"Whoo~"
A slight breeze blew through the Liang family's house, and in an instant, the positions of all objects that could be blown by the wind appeared in Qin He's mind like models.
Qin He seemed to have an additional bird's-eye view, able to clearly see everything behind him.
However... nothing was found.
He could feel that the thing was not far away from him, but he couldn't lock onto it.
Qin He did not act blindly. This thing was obviously very good at hiding. It was either a racial issue or there was something special about it.
If I fail to defeat the enemy with one move and instead scare it, I don’t know when I can resolve this matter.
This is also the most troublesome part about supernatural events.
It's not like a corpse just standing there. At most it's a little more ferocious and a little more resistant to attacks.
The supernatural is something you can’t see or touch, and no matter how great your abilities are, you don’t know where to use them.
It is not only physical but also mentally demanding, and requires a battle of wits and courage.
But Qin He was not in a hurry. He had a trump card. Once it was triggered, he would take advantage of the situation and use the thirty-six styles of soul-suppressing skills to the fullest. Even the ghost king would be defeated.
Cremating the body takes a lot of time, so there is no need to rush.
Besides, his act of burning the corpse had obviously angered that thing, so perhaps there was no need to wait until night.
Thinking of this, Qin He simply moved a recliner, added enough fuel to burn the corpse, then lay down on it comfortably and fell asleep under the gaze of that thing.
Soon he started snoring loudly, drooling in his sleep.
The whole sentence is just one sentence: Come and hit me!
