The happy coffin is opened, all ghosts disperse, the princess comes from hell

Ever since Bai Xue's incident, Qing Wu and Xie Shu hadn't seen each other for a long time.

It was said that Mrs. Dingguo had gone crazy. Although Xie Yun did not reconcile with her, he sent her to the south of the Yangtze River. Xie Ling was said to have gone with her.

When we met in such a place today, Qing Wu was not prepared to go up and say hello. She thought that Xie Shu would just nod to her at most, but she never thought that the other party would come over on his own initiative.

"Miss Yun." Due to local sensitivity, Xie Shu did not reveal the identity of Princess Qingnu.

"Xie Shaoqing came to investigate the case?" Seeing that he was wearing official uniform, Qing Wu knew that he was not here to have fun.

With Xie Shu's cold temperament, the possibility of being alone for the rest of his life is far better than that of the stinky inkstone at her home. I am afraid that none of his seven exquisite orifices are love orifices. The judge's pen said that he was unclean, which is simply nonsense.

Xie Shu nodded and treated her with the same attitude as before: "Can I take a step to speak?"

Qing Wu pondered for a moment: "It's done."

Perhaps in order to avoid suspicion, Xie Shu chose a street tea shop not far from the alley. After sitting down, he went straight to the topic:

"Dali Temple recently took over a case. I think there is something fishy in it. I would like to ask you to give me some advice."

Qing Wu raised her eyebrows and asked tentatively: "Is it related to Zihe Che?"

Xie Shu was slightly surprised, "Has someone asked you for help?"

"That's right. Which family of yours suffered the consequences?"

Xie Shu was already familiar with Qingnu's 'venomous tongue', but he still couldn't help but laugh. He mused: "Several official women from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites have had troubles, but the biggest problem is Prince Hui's Palace."

"King Hui?" Qingwu blinked, "He returned to Beijing?"

The old emperor had many sons, and King Hui was the fourth. Unlike the seven kings who were not favored, the fiefdom was called Nanling King in Nanling. The old emperor did not even give Xiao Yao a title.

But Xiao Si, the fourth king of Hui, was the first to be crowned king, and his fiefdom was close to the capital and was the richest in the Central Plains.

"It's been a while since I returned to Beijing."

"So, doesn't it mean that he came just after something happened in Nanling?" Qingwu smiled: "Your Majesty's move is quite meaningful."

Xie Shu coughed lightly: "Be careful what you say."

Qing Wu shrugged. She was too lazy to care about the fighting between Xiao Chenyan and his princes and uncles. "What's wrong with King Hui? He's a gentleman, but he can't use Zihe chariot to nourish him?"

Xie Shu laughed, but did not deny it: "Prince Hui's Mansion initially thought it was poisoned and reported it to Dali Temple for investigation. It was only after I took over that I realized something was wrong, and something happened to other officials' family members as well."

"You came to me because you wanted me to save King Hui and his family members?" Qingwu tilted her head: "How many months have King Hui been watching you now?"

"How many months?" Xie Shu was slightly surprised, not understanding what Qing Wu meant.

He was a foreigner, and it was not convenient for him to see the official family members. As for Prince Hui's mansion, he went there, but Prince Hui had been lying in bed, unwilling to see guests, and would only talk to people through the door. He didn't know what Prince Hui looked like now. .

I only heard King Hui keep yelling that there was a kid pestering him, and the officials and their families also vaguely mentioned that they had heard the crying and laughter of babies.

Only then did Xie Shu suspect that the case was contaminated with ghosts again.

With Xie Shu's intelligence, he had already found Zihe Che, and he had experienced many ghost things, and his 'eyesight' had broadened a lot. It was not difficult to guess what the 'months' in Qing Wu's words meant.

For a moment, his expression was a little subtle, and he understood why King Hui refused to see anyone.

He coughed lightly, his face slightly unnatural, and said softly: "I had doubts about whether this case was a ghost incident, and I also had someone catch the person selling Zihe carts, and followed the clues to Hualiu Lane, but the result was... Very strange."

He looked at Qingnu and asked seriously: "Those children born in Hualiu Lane are not dead, the dealer just bought their afterbirths. If they are not dead, why will eating those afterbirths lead to revenge from the devil?"

"You're really alive..." Qing Wu's eyes moved slightly.

The judge's pen made a sharp blast: "Alive? How is it possible to be alive? Are those little ghosts parasitic on their own afterbirth? No, is it possible..."

"Is it possible that these little ghosts were taken away from their bodies as soon as they were born? Their souls were forced to be bound to their afterbirths, and some people survived despite their identities. No wonder, no wonder Ah Wu said that the causal thread of those little ghosts was broken! "

"Once the thread of cause and effect is severed, this person will not be found in the book of life and death. This is a sudden change in fate!"

"Now that you've checked here, have you found the children born in Hualiu Lane?"

Xie Shu shook his head: "This is the strangest thing. Those children were all bought, and the identity of the buyer is unknown."

"Since you haven't found those children, how can you be sure they are alive?"

Xie Shu looked at her intently: "Because I found that the names of some of the children who were bought appeared in another case."

Qing Wu's eyes were sharp: "The case where Wang Sheng and Yun Hou were involved in kidnapping and trafficking children?"

Xie Shu nodded.

Qing Wu almost laughed out loud.

Okay, there are really many links, and there are mysteries everywhere in this capital.

Now that I think about it carefully, the locust creating a hell with the soil in Izumo Temple seems like a cover, deliberately exposed. What is really covered up is the group of children in Hualiuxiang who were taken away from their bodies at birth.

Someone has taken over their identities and hidden them in the world.

Two words "Witch Clan" came to Qingwu's mind.

Is it the work of the Wu clan again?

The witch clan is different from the three clans of humans, gods, and ghosts. After death, the body will be disintegrated in the heaven and earth. The soul will not enter reincarnation and is independent of the five elements.

If they want to return to cause trouble, they do need a physical body.

"I will investigate this matter in detail." Qing Wu looked at Xie Shu: "It is best to end the investigation in Dali Temple to the end. This matter involves ghosts and cannot be resisted by humans."

Xie Shu frowned and pondered for a long time, but did not respond directly.

Qing Wu also knew Xie Shu's temperament, so she didn't try to persuade him much: "That's it, I'll draw a few more talismans and send them to you when I get back."

"Thank you." Xie Shu couldn't help but smile, the gratitude in his eyes was sincere.

Qing Wu touched her nose and raised her eyebrows: "Don't blame me?"

Xie Shu understood what she was talking about and shook his head: "My mother made a mistake in what happened to my little sister. As you said, the cycle of cause and effect leads to unfavorable retribution."

Now he is trying his best to find out the unjust cases one after another, and he also wants to do his best. Firstly, he wants to atone for his mother's sins, and secondly, he really wants to make this world more noble. He not only wants justice for the living, but also wants to avenge the dead. .

Some things have to be done by people.

Even if there is an underworld, there are places beyond the reach of divine power.

Qing Wu could feel the awe-inspiring aura in Xie Shu. Perhaps it was because he had an exquisite heart with seven orifices, and he could feel the suffering in the world the most.

Those who have this heart have the qualifications to become saints.

But at the same time, it is also very easy to be entangled in hardships. We encounter ups and downs, one step at a time, one step at a time, and everything is fate.

"By the way," Xie Lu suddenly thought of something, "If my little sister hasn't been reincarnated yet, can you help me pass something to her?"

"Ok?"

Xie Shu took out a brocade bag from his arms. In the brocade bag lay a piece of cold jade, carved into the shape of a snowflake.

"As the eldest brother, I have never done anything for her. I heard that Hanyu is Yin and may be of some help to her."

Qing Wu looked at the Snowflake Han Jade in his hand with some surprise. This jade was indeed very yin-y, and it was a treasure that ghosts would like.

"Did you carve it yourself?"

Xie Shu smiled, acquiescing.

Qingwu took it and said, "I will hand it over for you. It's up to her whether she accepts it or not."

Xie Shu nodded and thanked her without making any further demands or questions. He knew that for the younger sister, it might be best to have nothing to do with the Xie family.

After saying this, Xie Shu was about to return to Dali Temple, but Qingnu remembered another thing and asked:

"What's going on between you and Xiao Chenyan?"

"Ok?"

"I heard that you and he were close when you were young, but then we got into an inexplicable fight and drifted apart?"

Although Xie Shu and Xiao Chenyan are still on the same boat, the gap between them is obvious.

Qing Wu had been curious in the past, but was not prepared to ask, but with Xiao Chenyan's "identity becoming a mystery" and Xie Shu's special ability of Qiqiao Exquisite Heart, she always felt that there were clues to the "dangerous tension" between the two.

Xie Shu's expression was dazed for a moment, he frowned, and finally just shook his head and said lightly: "It was just a matter of youth, I have forgotten it."

Have you really forgotten?

Qing Wu didn't believe it.

But Xie Shu obviously wasn't ready to reveal it. After he got on the carriage, he let out a long breath and his eyes darkened.

He and Xiao Chenyan were close friends when they were young, but due to an old incident, they almost turned against each other.

That matter was always hidden in Xie Shu's heart and could not be revealed to anyone.

Even Xie Shu doubted whether his memory was wrong.

Was the scene I saw back then real?

Is that person really Xiao Chenyan?

Twelve years ago, the Zhenguo Hou family was ordered to go to the northern border to supervise the army. On the eve of their departure, he, Xiao Chenyan and Yun Zheng sneaked out of the house and went to the outskirts of the city to barbecue and eat wine.

He was so drunk that he got drunk first, and then Yun Zheng. When he opened his eyes while half asleep at night, he saw an unbelievable scene.

Xiao Chenyan turned his back to him and pulled out his sword facing Yun Zheng who was drunk.

He wants to kill Yun Zheng!
