The rebellious daughter is spoiled by the disabled boss
Chapter 85 Soul for Soul
"Dad..." Chu Qiming used both hands to pry the man's hands apart, but he was too strong and he couldn't even move a single finger.
The village chief who heard the noise rushed over here and tied a red rope around the man. The red rope made a sizzling sound when it touched the man's skin. The man let go of his hand in pain and stepped back.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Chu Qiming coughed several times before he recovered. He sat on the ground and saw his father skillfully tied the man to a pillar. The strange thing was that he didn't know what method his father used, but the man fainted as soon as his head tilted.
"Xu Xiuxiu has been dead for at least half a month, and her inner body has been emptied out." My father said as he packed up the red rope in his hand, "It's likely that she provoked the dirty creatures in the mountains, and they are resentful and have come back to seek revenge."
Dead for half a month?
Half a month ago, Chu Qiming saw Xu Xiuxiu and a man going into the mountains. They were fine at that time. Could they have died after coming down the mountain?
What a coincidence! Chu Qiming told him the whole story from beginning to end.
The village chief's face suddenly changed, and Jiang Yuechu's heart trembled at his horrified expression.
I guess the excuse is that he provoked the immortals and was retaliated against, but there are actually other reasons.
A Yan then let Jiang Yuechu see another scene.
The dead Xu Xiuxiu has come back to life, and Chu Qiming has died instead.
The village chief held Chu Qiming's body in agony, looking at Xu Xiuxiu with hatred in his eyes. He forcibly extracted Xu Xiuxiu's soul. The village chief also discovered that once a person's soul is extracted, it will never disappear.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuechu asked doubtfully: "What does this have to do with Chu Qiming now?"
"Soul for soul."
Ah Yan said in a deep voice: "It has been several decades since our time. The village chief has been putting his soul into fresh bodies to make himself immortal. It is also in this way that his son has survived."
Jiang Yuchu had never heard of this kind of evil magic.
"Does Chu Qiming, whose soul was replaced, have no memories?"
Ah Yan shook his head, "No, he is different from the old Taoist. His soul was stored for many years before he found a suitable body, which is now Chu Qiming. But a soul like this is not pure enough. The resentment that has been trapped for many years has accumulated in his chest, causing his character to become worse and worse."
"So that's how it is, but how do you know these things?"
Before this, A Yan had clearly been living in the attic of a haunted house. Even if he wanted to help her, he shouldn't know so much.
"Jiang Yuechu, go find an organization called 0744. They will tell you the truth."
Jiang Yuechu frowned, "0744? Since you know the truth, why don't you tell it?"
"When a person dies, his soul leaves. Even if some people are not dead, their souls can be extracted. Such souls are highly controllable. You are not the first one."
I'm not the first?
Jiang Yuechu's heart was full of doubts. She had never died and had never felt her soul being sucked out, so A Yan's statement did not make sense.
"Jiang Yuechu?" Someone reached out and pushed her arm. "Jiang Yuechu, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yuechu suddenly came back to her senses and found that she was still in the inn. The person who pushed her was Tao Runyan who came to look for her. He looked at her with confusion.
"You've been sitting here alone for more than twenty minutes. What are you thinking about so intently?"
In fact, it was not that she was absorbed in her thoughts, but that A Yan used a sleight of hand to make her feel something else.
"Nothing, did you find Xu Huihui?"
Tao Runyan responded with a grunt, his face not looking good, "The body was found at the foot of the mountain half an hour ago. It was initially determined that he fell off the mountain and died."
"It seems that this time the dungeon is trying to find the murderer hiding in the dark."
If Xu Tong was not the culprit who caused the fall from the mountain, then could he be an accomplice?
Jiang Yuechu wouldn't say anything without evidence.
A Yan's behavior made Jiang Yuchu see everything clearly. Chu Tianlang's unjust death, the ancient village they experienced last time, and the accident of falling from the mountain involving Xu Tong were all related to Chu Qiming.
In that case, could the female ghost bride she met in the ancient village be the dead Xu Xiuxiu?
Extracting a person's soul and using his body as a puppet, how could a mere Taoist master have such great ability?
Jiang Yue didn't believe it at first.
Seeing that Jiang Yuechu was silent again, Tao Runyan thought she was thinking too much, and patted her shoulder, "It's okay, maybe it's not what we imagined."
"Did you see the village chief when you came to see me?" Jiang Yuechu asked.
"Yes, he's downstairs. Are you looking for him?"
"I do have something to do with him."
Jiang Yuechu stood up and walked to the bedside, putting the Heavenly Thunder Talisman from his backpack in his palm. If he wanted to confirm what he was thinking, he had to use this method.
She pretended nothing had happened and went downstairs. Xu Huihui's body had already been moved. Everyone sitting downstairs looked unhappy, especially the village chief.
"village head."
Jiang Yuechu walked slowly to the village chief, reached out to pat his back, and put the Heavenly Thunder Talisman on his back.
After waiting for a few seconds, the Heavenly Thunder Talisman did not react, which meant that the village chief was still a human being at this time, not a puppet, and his soul had not been extracted.
The village chief had a bitter face and sighed, "I told them not to climb the mountain because the weather is bad these days, but they are so disobedient. What should I do now?"
"Them? Who else?"
"Qin Hong."
Song Ci'an said in a deep voice: "Qin Hong guessed that Xu Huihui might have gone up the mountain alone, so he went to look for her, but he also fell down. When we found Xu Huihui's body, Qin Hong's body was not far away."
Jiang Yuechu glanced at the village chief and said, "Village chief, Qin Hong said before that Xu Huihui once helped a child. Has the child been found?"
"There are no children. There are only two half-grown children in our village, and their parents have taken them back to the city." The village chief shook his head helplessly and sighed, "It's my fault for not taking good care of them."
At this time, Song Ci'an spoke in confusion, "No, when a villager went up the mountain to look for someone, he said he saw a small footprint that didn't look like it was left by an adult. Qin Hong didn't lie."
The village chief flatly denied it, "There really is no child as old as you say."
"No, or you don't want to say it?" Jiang Yuechu stepped forward and asked.
The village chief's face changed, and he stared at Jiang Yuechu strangely, "I am the village chief of this village, how could I not know whether there is a child or not? Do you think I am lying to you?"
"No, just asking."
Jiang Yuchu doesn't want to make the relationship awkward yet, but Song Yitan is afraid that the matter is not big enough.
"Ask? How can you ask questions like that? Isn't it obvious that you are interrogating the village chief as if he were a criminal?"
