Cheng Yu nodded, today is Chen Qing's first seven.According to folklore, the dead will return to their souls after seven days to visit their relatives.At that time, people's souls are the most complete, and they can remember clearly what happened in Yangjian.If he delays for a long time, he will be as insane as Wei Li.

Cheng Yu hung a mahogany sword on his waist, and stuffed a few newly drawn talisman seals in his arms.Everything is ready, just waiting for dark.

Just when Cheng Yu was about to drink up the talisman water in the bowl, he pressed one hand on the bowl.Zhao Jinshu said: "Why don't I go with my brother this time?"

In the past few days, because of Chen Qing's accident, more officers and soldiers came and went to inspect, and from time to time someone would step forward to question him.Cheng Yu shook his head, "You are guarding here, there is someone to take care of you. If Axiu and I are both departed souls, we will be treated as dead and thrown into the bureaucracy, then everything will be over."

Zhao Jinshu let go of his hand and said with a smile: "In that case, elder brother Daoist should go and come back early!"

Because of the last time he left his soul, Cheng Yu secretly had a heart.After lighting the Lihun incense, he deliberately placed a small stool in front of the bed, and when he tilted his body, the empty bowl in his hand was placed on the stool.

After experiencing the familiar pain of leaving the soul, Cheng Yu stepped into the Chen residence.

Because Chen Qing was not married and had no children, Mr. Chen and his mother were the ones standing guard in front of his coffin.Mother Chen's eyes were swollen, and she lay on the coffin and wept.Father Chen kept silent, burning paper money.

In the middle of the night, both Chen's father and Chen's mother were supported by servants to rest, and Cheng Yu sat where Chen's mother was just now.When I raised my eyes, I was facing Chen Qing's portrait. In front of the portrait were some offering fruits, all of which were things I loved to eat during my lifetime.

Just as Cheng Yu was about to take a fruit by accident, a gust of wind blew past.The wick of the white candle trembled a few times in the wind and extinguished.

"Here we come!" Cheng Yu yelled in his heart, quickly withdrew his hand, turned over and hid behind the coffin.

After a while, there seemed to be a group of people beating gongs and drums outside the Chen residence.There was a mess, as if they had entered the Chen residence.Cheng Yu covered his breath and peeked out from the coffin.Sure enough, I saw three figures, one black and one white separated on both sides, the one in the middle was Chen Qing.Cheng Yu subconsciously covered his mouth and nose.

Chen Qing's hands and feet were bound with chains, and they jingled as they walked.After a while, the three of them walked to Chen Qing's coffin, and the black figure unfastened the chains on Chen Qing's feet.

"You stay here for a while, and when the rooster crows at dawn, you should go back. Don't disturb the people of the mortal world!"

Because of Chen Qing's drowning, he was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.Therefore, if the ghost messenger hadn't said that the person standing in the coffin was Chen Qing, Cheng Yu couldn't believe that the terrifying face in front of him was actually Chen Qing.

His two eyes may have become huge because of the blisters.Hanging out of the eye sockets, the eyeballs seem to have absorbed enough water, as if a light pinch can squeeze out half a bucket of water.These huge and terrifying eyes, on the face that has been swollen several times from the blisters, are really harmonious and terrifying.

"Bian! How about we go out and have some drinks?" It was the man in black who spoke.

On the first seven days, someone will set up a banquet in the yard. It is said that it is specially prepared for the ghost messengers who escort the souls, in order to let the ghost messengers have a sympathy, so that the souls of relatives can stay in the world for a while. .

Cheng Yu listened attentively, and sure enough there was a sound of wine bowls colliding outside.Because there were two ghosts, Cheng Yu didn't dare to act rashly.

Chen Qing walked around the mourning hall a few times, looking at his mourning hall furnishings, Cheng Yu couldn't tell from his swollen face that he was satisfied with the arrangement.Guessing that there was not much time left, Cheng Yu emerged from behind the coffin, and before Chen Qing was about to startle, he quickly made a gesture to Chen Qing to silence him.

Chen Qing was obviously startled by Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu quickly explained, "I'm Xia Yu, and we had a drink at Yuelai Restaurant some time ago!" Fortunately, Chen Qing's voice didn't change much, and Cheng Yu could hear What Qing Chen Qing was talking about, "I remember, you are Feng Er's boy, and Feng Er held a banquet in Yuelai Restaurant for you that day! Huh? Why did you come here? Could it be that you also died?"

"That's right!" Cheng Yu hurriedly asked, seeing that Chen Qing's logic was still clear.

"Mr. Chen, do you still remember what the person who took you from Boss Shang looked like on the night of the fourth day?"

"Fourth day?" Chen Qing tried to think back, and after a while, the muscles on his face twitched, "Fucking Wen Chuan is simply a scourge, he hit so hard, almost killed me! I will go to hell and have to sue him, let him He will have no sons or grandchildren!"

Cheng Yu keenly grasped the details, "You mean, the cause of your death was not because of Wen Chuan? Then do you still remember how you died?"

Chen Qing glanced at him, but this glance lacked the demeanor of the world, and was a little more strange and terrifying.

"Looking at my character, I can tell that I was drowned! By the way, what's going on with you? Keep asking?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yu took out a portrait from his arms and unfolded it.

"Mr. Chen, do you still recognize this person?" What Cheng Yu held in his hand was naturally based on the portrait dictated by Boss Shang, which he tore off from the street and carried with him before he left his soul.

Chen Qing stared at the portrait with two eyes hanging from the eye sockets, and shook his head for a while.

"do not know!"

Cheng Yu was anxious, "Master Chen, please take a good look at this portrait. Is this the person Boss Shang said would pick you up when he was approaching the Chen residence?"

Chen Qing stared at the portrait carefully, looked up at Cheng Yu, and looked down at the portrait again.After making comparisons like this several times, he said: "Master Xia, are you kidding me? Isn't it you in this portrait?"

Chen Qing pointed to the portrait and said, "Look at this man's eyes and eyebrows, which are drawn just like yours, but with more wrinkles and a beard!" After Chen Qing's reminder, Cheng Yu became alert.If the beard and wrinkles were removed, the person in the portrait would be seven or eight percent similar to him.

Cheng Yu's scalp was numb.If Apu disappears or the confession is retracted, coupled with the portrait Boss Shang mentioned, I am afraid that Cheng Yu will not be able to speak clearly when the time comes.And since Chen Qing could see it, there must have been someone in the Ministry of Punishment who could have seen it too.

"To tell the truth, Mr. Chen, the person in this portrait is the servant of the Chen family who took you away according to Boss Shang's dictation. I wonder if Mr. Chen has any impression of this person?"

"I was beaten so groggy that day that I couldn't even open my eyes. I really couldn't see the man's appearance. However, I smelled sweet-scented osmanthus in my nose." Chen Qing closed the pair of notebooks. I couldn't close my eyelids, as if I was reminiscing about the fragrance at this time.

This is difficult, because sweet-scented osmanthus is a common thing, not only some women in boudoirs like to use it to comb their hair, even some rich children also wear it as a sachet.

"Master Xia, you are not dead!" Chen Qing became suspicious.

"Everyone who dies will be bound by ghosts and chains after death. Today, because I am the first seven souls, the ghosts removed the chains on my wrists. Even so, the chains on my feet are still there. Mr. Xia, your hands and feet are all broken. Unbound, why did you appear in my mourning hall?"

"This one……"

Just as Cheng Yu was about to make up a lie, the door was suddenly swept by a gust of wind. "Chen Qing, I forgot to change you back to your pre-life appearance just now, you bid farewell to your parents..."

Just as the man in black was about to step into the threshold, his feet froze. Looking at the two figures squatting in front of the mourning hall, he yelled and took a step back to the door, "Bi'an, come and have a look, there is a New Ghost!"

The man in white who was drinking outside immediately threw a wine jug and rushed to the door.Following the direction Wujiu was pointing at, he saw Cheng Yu sitting with Chen Qing and standing up vigilantly with a mahogany sword in his hand.

The man in white twitched his nose and stared at Cheng Yu, "This smell is so familiar, it was you in Anqing County!"

When Cheng Yu saw that the ghost messenger was coming, he couldn't tell any more lies. He was afraid that the ghost messenger would be troubled by the time, so he held the wooden sword in his hand and bowed. "I'm not a dead person, but I just have some questions and I want to ask Mr. Chen! I hope the two adults can help me!"

The man in white snorted coldly and raised the whip in his hand, "I don't care if you are dead or alive, as long as the soul is under my control. I don't care about the affairs of the world, whether you are dead or alive. I will take you to the underworld first. ! There is no salvation! Use the soul chain to tie him up first!"

Seeing that the two ghost messengers were about to attack, Cheng Yu dragged Chen Qing back again and again.Although people in the living world are not afraid of ghosts, but now Cheng Yu is a soul, and the magic weapon on the black and white couple is designed to lock souls and fight ghosts, so they don't have to be afraid.

After Zhao Jinshu left Cheng Yu's soul, he looked at Zhao Jinshu lying on the bed, which was quite indecent.Just took off the shoes on Cheng Yu's feet, stuffed them back into the quilt, and saw the bell on Cheng Yu's feet from the corner of his eyes.Immediately, curiosity arose, and she lay down next to Cheng Yu.Aligning his shoulders with Cheng Yu's shoulders, seeing that the bell on Cheng Yu's feet only touched his calf, he was inexplicably relieved.

When he turned around, his face was facing Cheng Yu and his eyelashes were closed slightly, his calf was slightly curled up and his knee was just touching Cheng Yu's lower abdomen.Frightened, he quickly straightened his legs, and accidentally touched Cheng Yu's cool toes with the sole of his foot.Zhao Jinshu was slightly startled, rubbed it for a while, but was not willing to let go.

The bed in this inn seems to be too small, the bed in Prince Heping's Mansion is not comparable at all.Next time, if you do business with him again, you must find a bigger place.As soon as he put his hand on Cheng Yu's shoulder, he heard the faint light of fire coming from outside.

After getting out of bed and cautiously opening the window, I saw that the inn had been surrounded by a group of people.The shop owner and a few waiters hurried out of the shop with their pants in their hands.Bowing and trembling, he said: "You guys are doing small business, I don't know what's wrong?"

Zhao Jinshu frowned, it was people from Dali Temple.He also saw clearly the person on the horse.During the day, I just heard that Cheng Yu said that because of Chen Qing's case, the Pei Zi Mansion was "invited" by people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and he brought a team of people here at night. It seems that Wen Ming's action is to attract people. soon.

Pei Zifu raised his head and glanced somewhere on the second floor, then looked away.With a wave of his hand, several petty officials bound the shop owner and Xiao Er one after another.

The shop owner burst into tears like he didn't want money, "My lord! The little one has always done things according to his duty, and has never done anything harmful to the nature. The master always gives the little one a reason to arrest people!" Xiaoer also followed suit and shouted for grievances.A howl of ghosts and wolves was very obvious in the silent night.Before Pei Zifu could speak again, someone immediately stuffed some balls into the mouths of several people.
