Bone

After leaving the Chen Mansion, Qin Nianjiu intentionally lowered the black umbrella, covering most of his face, his eyes were hidden under the eaves of the umbrella, Tan Fengyue walked out a few steps, and stopped a girl who was shopping for vegetables nearby, asking The location of the government office.

It has to be said that Fengyue Patriarch's appearance is really top-notch.The girl who was stopped by him was so young that she couldn't turn her eyes away. She blushed and pointed him in the direction, and explained in detail how to go.

Although Tan Fengyue still had that unsmiling expression on her face, her voice was rare and kind, and she asked again, "I don't know if the girl has seen any unfamiliar Taoists enter the city recently?"

The way the Taoist in yellow was acting was intended to be a bluff and a deceit, and he was confident, so he must have had a lot of battles in Hongling City.

"No, no..." The girl answered like this first, and then seemed to be unable to bear the disappointment of the person who asked the question. She thought hard for a while, and suddenly said, "It seems that a Taoist priest came here more than half a month ago. I went to a small stall to tell my fortune, and then... hey, Xiaosi!"

She turned her head and asked the vegetable vendor beside her, "Where did the Taoist king in the south of the city go?"

The hawker listens to the customers who come to buy vegetables chatting about what is there every day. He is well-informed, and he answers while ordering vegetables and fruits, "Didn't he be invited by the Chen family!"

The Chen family?

Qin Nianjiu, who listened carefully to their conversation, changed his expression slightly, Tan Fengyue immediately asked: "How do you say?"

"Hi," the peddler snorted disdainfully and waved his hands, "that Daoist Laoshizi Wang is a scaremonger, he just opened his mouth and said that our Hongling is going to be in trouble-fucking shit! The Chen family That's right, he went to the doctor in a hurry, and unexpectedly invited him into the mansion, where he was offered food and drink all day long..."

Tan Fengyue frowned, "Go to the doctor in a hurry?"

"That's right!" the peddler said, "Didn't the ancestral grave on the mountain behind the Chen family be struck by lightning? Hey, it was only two months ago."

"Hey, if I knew that the masters are so easy to deceive, I would stop selling vegetables and learn some Laoshan Taoism! Don't you think so?" With a slap on the shoulder, he turned the conversation away with a joke, and then winked at Tan Fengyue, "Look at this pear, my lord, it's made locally, it's so sweet!"

Tan Fengyue saw that the peddler didn't want to talk anymore, so she thanked him and the girl, paid for two pears as she said, and walked back to Qin Nianjiu.

Just after noon, the sun was red, Qin Nianjiu tilted the black umbrella and divided half of the shade to Tan Fengyue beside him, "This is the right match."

It's not difficult to guess, it must be that the Taoist priest just came out of Xibei Village, and as soon as he arrived in Hongling, he saw the shadow in the eyes of the city people, so he told about it.Others don't believe in evil, but the Chen family who have contacts with Xibei Village are aware of the situation, so they believed his statement and his ability, so they invited him into the mansion, and Chen Wenyu was able to learn from him. Asked about the yellow talisman that "can cure cloudy eyes".

And the reason why the Chen family suffered such misfortune was probably because the ancestral grave was chopped up by Tianlei, which messed up their fate - there was really no reason to do so.

"En." Tan Fengyue held two pears in her hand, and stuffed them all to Qin Nianjiu, "The Chen family was destroyed, and he probably couldn't escape, it's really..."

"It's cheaper for him?" Qin Nianjiu wiped the pear with his sleeve, took a bite, and said vaguely, "I don't think he's dead yet."

Tan Fengyue slightly raised her eyebrows, "How do you say, the scourge lasted for a thousand years?"

The soil in Xibei and Hongling seems to be particularly fertile. The rice in the village grows well, and the local fruits are also very delicious and juicy.Qin Nianjiu answered his words with a mouth full of sweetness, "Did you forget? We came here after the divination results. If he was slaughtered together with the Chen family, the divination results should point to the Yin Division. I see, he It should still be hiding in Hongling City..."

He raised the pear he hadn't bitten in his hand, "This pear is really sweet, don't you want to try one?"

"No." Tan Fengyue slowly shook the silver fan, "Didn't you say that no one has offered you something before, and I will give you two pears to express my heart."

"..."

The words are good words, but why do they always feel different when they come out of his mouth.Qin Nianjiu pretended to complain, "Why don't you offer some loquat and apples, too many pears are unlucky..."

Having said that, he still ate up the pears in his hand, picked up another "Sleeve Cosmos" that could store things, and put the other one away.

After all, with Zhang Chen Wenyu's face on their faces, the two of them stepped into the official office. Before they could ask any more questions, someone greeted them and quickly led them to Yizhuang.

The location of Yizhuang is slightly off, and the area is not large. There is still a little dew on the straw-paved roof, which is shiny by the sun.

The yamen servant who led the way said hello to the old man dozing in front of the door, and pushed open the thick, moldy wooden door.

The door was pushed open, and an unpleasant and heavy smell rushed in. Stepping into the manor, the room was filled with a little simple coffins, and inside were corpses covered with white cloths.

This kind of house used to store corpses, in order to prevent corpses from changing, first, the threshold is set extremely high, and second, there are no windows around.There was no lamp in the house, and the light leaked in from the four-foot-square ventilation skylight on the top, making the room semi-dark and semi-dark. ash.

It's just that the Yizhuang Yizhuang was originally set up for the temporary mortuary of those who died in foreign lands, but now it is full of local Chen family members in Hongling.

Qin Nianjiu put away the black umbrella, and turned his head to ask the yamen servant who was leading the way, but before he could utter the word "ah", the yamen servant standing outside the door hurriedly said goodbye, and slipped away as if fleeing .

"..."

He looked at the back of the yamen servant leaving in a hurry, with a puzzled expression on his face, "...Why is he rushing like he is hiding from the plague?"

One must know that he is the only surviving "Chen Wenyu" in the Chen family. If such a big incident happened, it would be fine if the people in the government office didn't interrogate him a few more times. How could there be a feeling of avoiding him.

Tan Fengyue has already lifted the white cloth and is examining the corpse.

The person who restrained the corpse must have been very careless. He said it was "contained", but he just put the corpses of the Chen family in the coffin and covered them hastily with a white cloth. His eyes did not close for them.

Tan Fengyue covered her nose and mouth with a silver fan, and after a brief glance at the corpses in front of her, she understood why the yamen servant left in such a hurry, "The Chen family's death method is too strange, he is afraid of offending something unclean. "

"What?" Qin Nianjiu hurried over, "Let me see."

Different from the dead faces of people from Xibei Village, the faces and postures of the Chen family members are even more ferocious. Their eye sockets are almost cracked, exposing pairs of dilated pupils—like Chen Wenyu, there is no white in their eyes. The clothes on his body are not so much clothes, but rather torn cloth strips, revealing countless wounds visible to the naked eye, scratches, cuts, wounds... and even wounds that were bitten out with teeth , dripping with blood.

How come there are so many different types of wounds on the same person?

The bitten wound was located on the low side, and almost the whole piece of flesh was torn off.Qin Nianjiu stretched out his hand, compared the size of Bi's tooth marks, then wiped away the scab accumulated on it, and pressed the tooth marks on the edge of the wound, "It's so narrow... a child bit it out?"

Almost instantly, he thought of the bloody handprint on the corridor of the Chen Mansion, and he was a little startled for a while, "Could it be—"

Tan Fengyue inspected the corpse much faster than him, and concluded without raising her head, "They killed each other."

He held a silk handkerchief across the palm of his hand and turned the face of one of the corpses so that Qin Nianjiu could clearly see several scratch marks on the corpse's surface, and then picked up the other corpse's hand and shook it, "Look, Is it right?"

The corpse's fingers were long and slender, with long and pointed nails, and the cracks in the nails were covered with fine brown-red flesh.

Looking at other corpses, you can find some corresponding traces, and those wounds caused by sharp or blunt weapons, from the angle and force, are all from different hands—recalling Chen At that time, it was only believed that the mess in the mansion was caused by the Chen family fleeing in all directions. Now that I think about it, it must be that they picked up everything and used it as a weapon to greet other people.

No wonder just now when the yamen servant in the official mansion saw that he was "Chen Wenyu", his expression was as if he saw a plague god. It was because of this antecedent reason - Qin Nianjiu had a headache, his temples were throbbing, "How could this be..."

Tan Fengyue put down the corpse's hand, pondered: "Perhaps it was haunted."

Leaning on the coffin, Qin Nianjiu confirmed the facial features of each corpse one by one, and seeing that all of them were auspicious and long-lived, he couldn't help sighing, "... can only be haunted."

"The aura in Chen's mansion is in disorder, and I'm afraid it's related to this matter—are there any spells that can scare people?" He tapped on the edge of the coffin lightly, searching in his mind, "Nightmare Curse, Nightmare Curse." No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No matter what kind of nightmare monster it is, folks often say "nine demons and one nightmare", which means that it is rare to become a "demon" among resentful ghosts, and even fewer can become "nightmare". Although it is a misunderstanding, But it also proves that nightmare monsters are really rare, and it is rare for one to appear in ten years. How did the Chen family provoke them?

The case of human lamp, Rakshasa, and door-killing, and now even the nightmare monster appeared, Qin Nianjiu covered his forehead with the back of his hand speechlessly, wondering if he could be a disaster star to save his life?

Accidents happened everywhere, and there were all kinds of strange things. Tan Fengyue obviously thought of going with him, and praised him sincerely, "The disaster star has given birth to life, and it really lives up to its reputation."

"..." Qin Nianjiu glared at him weakly. He wanted to swallow the ridicule, but suddenly caught a blind spot, "Wait..."

"No," he looked at Tan Fengyue with vacant eyes, "We are on the same road, and you met my resurrection, which means that you have encountered one more strange thing than me—if you really want to talk about disasters, then Should it be you too?"

Tan Fengyue was rarely choked by him, "..."

The two walked together all the way, and no one could tell who was worse, so they could only look at each other wordlessly for a long while, then silently looked away, thinking that the elder brother would not talk about the second brother, and each would hit [-] big boards.

The foul smell beside the coffin was heavy, Tan Fengyue walked to the door, took a silver fan to disperse the unpleasant smell from her body, and revealed the topic just now, "I can't find any more clues right now, why don't you leave here first Think again."

It can only be the.Qin Nianjiu relaxed his shoulders and neck helplessly, "Yeah. I still have to find a place to stay... let's find something to eat first, don't you eat much?"

It's not just that he didn't eat much, after careful calculation, since we met last night until now, he has only drank two cups of hot tea in total.

He turned his head and looked at Tan Fengyue's dead face with a little disgust, he felt a little teased about him, and said in a long voice, "Could it be that Xianjun is afraid of seeing these terrible things?" scene, so you don’t have an appetite, do you?”

Tan Fengyue suppressed the disgust on her face, "Not really."

Qin Nianjiu turned a deaf ear to him, and cared for him hypocritically, "People who practice Taoism have many scenes to see, so they can't be so coddled, what if they get hurt from starvation?—"

He spread his hands, conjured up the pear stored in the "Sleeve Universe", and persuaded with a smile, "Come, eat a pad?"

Tan Fengyue cast a disturbing glance at him, turned around and walked outside, "Don't make trouble."

——"Don't make trouble."

Suddenly, as if the nerves were being pinched, a vague male voice sounded in Tan Fengyue's mind, as flat and calm as his usual tone, but colder and colder than his usual tone, as if there was no trace of popularity .

Tan Fengyue swayed and almost tripped over the high threshold, but Qin Nianjiu helped him up in time with quick eyesight and quick hands.

Not knowing how he could even be tripped across a threshold, Qin Nianjiu held his arm with a puzzled expression on his face, "Why are you... so hungry? Has the corpse changed?"

The voice in my head is fleeting, and I can't catch it even if I want to, leaving only the boredom full of doubts.Tan Fengyue withdrew from the absent-minded state, turned her head to look at Qin Nianjiu, but finally said nothing, only said: "It's nothing, let's go."
