Marry a eunuch to catch demons
Chapter 69 The Phantom of the Ballroom
Now Ye Ge understands why he met the old Taoist Wang'an in the mountain village.
Wang'an found out that Xie Chongzu's luck had been sucked, and he wanted to find out who and what had sucked his luck, and wanted to take it for his own use.
It's a pity that Shancun and his party, instead of finding a spell to absorb luck and prolong life, he put himself into it.
"Later, I realized that...my lifespan was near the end of my life, so I wanted to find Master Chang Ya, but I couldn't find it. Instead, I got news about Beast Soul."
There is no need to say anything about the rest, old Taoist Wang An lowered his head dejectedly, Chang Ya had already died here, his dream of prolonging his life and longevity was completely shattered.
Xie Zhen looked at the three corpses on the ground again. Why were they here, and who killed them?
"Old Niu, since you rented out this yard, who did you rent it to?"
After hearing this, Niu Lao Er scratched his head in embarrassment: "Actually... I don't know too well. The rules in this Yin market have always been to do their own business, and don't ask as much as you can."
"However, I have also heard people say that someone used my yard to sell beast souls, so when I cleaned up the house later, I paid special attention to whether I could pick up some leaks, who knew that such a large area would appear. "
After hearing this, Ye Ge tried to guess: "Maybe, when the Changya Taoist priest was doing business with the villagers, there was a conflict for a while, and the two sides fought and died?"
Xie Zhen picked up the cigarette stick, thought for a moment and said, "If it is said that these three people are fighting, who is the victim of the people in the village outside?"
Ye Ge was taken aback for a moment, then thought of another thing, not only the village outside, but she approached and said, who set the fire in the upper yard after the three died?
"Sir, you mean... At that time, there should be one person here, or there should be more people?"
Xie Zhen didn't answer, but patted Ye Ge's head, and continued to look at the corpse on the ground, among other things, if they were doing business here, then what caused their conversation to break down and fight to the death Always need a reason.
Thinking of this, Xie Zhen took the half stick in his hand, drove the smoke to cover the bodies of the three, and searched for possible remaining clues with magic.
It's a pity that the bodies of these three people were surprisingly clean, as if nothing was left, or as if they had already been cleaned up.
Time passed moment by moment, and many questions lingered in the hearts of Ye Ge and Xie Zhen. They always felt that the things they had experienced in the past few months seemed to be linked together into an invisible chain with beast spirit and luck as the dark thread, bound in They are all around.
But this time, the seemingly unexpected discovery in front of them made them clearly feel that it must also belong to this chain, and they were even only one step away from touching it.
But soon there was nothing left. These remnants were already the result of the layout people cleaning up, and they couldn't find anything.
Xie Zhen didn't say a word, but kept driving the white smoke, expanding the scope of the search to the entire cellar, but it was always... nothing.
The atmosphere in the cellar gradually became heavy.Niu Er Er was still squatting in the corner shiveringly, old Taoist Wang An lowered his head dejectedly, and Yasha Hongji was just a complete bystander.
"Sir." At this time, Ye Ge suddenly made a sound, and gently held Xie Zhen's persistent hand with slightly cool fingers.He raised his head and looked at Xie Zhen with his clean eyes as if to comfort him: "Sir, it's too stuffy here, shall we go up first?"
Xie Zhen didn't speak, but looked back at Ye Ge in silence.
"Let's go up first, shall we?"
Ye Ge repeated it again, his voice was still a little hoarse, and the rustle was not so pleasant, but it calmed down Xie Zhen's restless heart just now.
Xie Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly retracted the half-cock with his backhand, and then hugged his little pigeon in his arms.
"Mr. always advises me not to worry. Why did I get anxious this time?" Ye Ge rubbed his forehead against Xie Zhen's chin. The longer he was with Xie Zhen, the better he could understand Xie Zhen's thoughts.
Regardless of luck or beast spirit, Xie Zhen was the first to step into this muddy water for him.But after all these repeated fights and investigations, he was still afraid that he would be implicated and hurt.
"Yes, I was wrong this time," Xie Zhen smiled lightly, his gaze returned to his usual gentleness and indifference, and he kissed Ye Ge's forehead: "There is nothing urgent, this time I would like to thank Ge Er Bring it up."
Listening to the familiar voice and leaning on the familiar embrace, Ye Ge finally heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he was not only persuading Xie Zhen just now, but also persuading himself...
"Okay, it's really not suitable to stay here, let's go up first." Xie Zhen let go of Ye Ge slightly, but still held his shoulders, planning to leave the cellar.
Just when they were about to turn around and leave, Xie Zhen couldn't help but look back at the three corpses on the ground, still obsessed.
So he moved the half stick in his hand slightly, and the white smoke wrapped around Yasha's body shrank a little bit, Hong Ji immediately bared her teeth and shouted: "What are you doing!"
Xie Zhen glanced at her lightly, and then instructed indifferently: "Bring those three corpses up."
Hong Ji couldn't help glaring, but she couldn't resist, she could only hold the face deformed with anger, and under the guidance of the white smoke, she piled up the three corpses on the ground and hugged them up.
Xie Zhen and Ye Ge quickly returned to the ground, Niu Laoer and Wang An Laodao followed closely behind, Hong Ji, who was holding her body, was the last to come up, and as soon as she walked to the courtyard, she slammed the three corpses Throw it to the ground.
"Don't!" Ye Ge just wanted to stop it, but it was too late. The corpse that had been put in the cellar for two or three years, although it was not completely decomposed, could not withstand her beating like this, and it turned into a puddle in the blink of an eye. shit.
Xie Zhen frowned slightly, and he was even more merciless towards Hong Ji with his hands, and threw it directly at her, hitting the remaining courtyard wall heavily.
Ye Ge looked angrily at the piles of corpses on the ground, wanted to separate them but was at a loss what to do, but Niu Erer who was on the side came over and said with some embarrassment: "Let me do it... Did this happen in my yard?" thing."
As he spoke, he ignored the dirty smell and squatted down to pick up the pile of corpses.
After all, Xie Zhen didn't mean to bully the honest man. He was about to bend down to deal with him, but when he didn't want to, he heard Niu Erer's strange voice: "Hey, my lord, look at what this is."
This sound attracted Xie Zhen and Ye Ge to look down, only to see Niu Erer take out a thick booklet from the stomach of the villager.
Xie Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and he suppressed his emotions and hurriedly took the booklet, only to see that there was a complicated curse mark left on the dark cover soaked in corpse water.
"No wonder," Xie Zhen shook his head, with a sudden smile on his face: "No wonder I can't find it, and neither can he."
When Ye Ge found the booklet, Ye Ge's curiosity reached its peak. Now that Xie Zhen sighed, he couldn't wait any longer. He tugged at Xie Zhen's sleeve and asked, "What's the reason? Does this spell have any meaning?"
Xie Zhen nodded, and with a flick of his hand, the spell on the cover became clearer. He explained to Ye Ge: "This is an extremely concealed magic-avoiding talisman, and any object attached to this talisman can be used for finding objects." Even if you look for the spell hundreds or thousands of times, you still can’t find it.”
Come to think of it, it must have been because of this spell that the people who cleaned it up failed to find this booklet.
Being able to use such a spell, and hide it in his body with cruel hands, Xie Zhen's eyes gradually became serious. Together with Ye Ge, he opened the booklet.
"This is... an account book?" In the booklet, the number of listed categories is written very clearly, and Ye Ge recognized it at a glance. This is an account book, and it is also an account book that records the trading of beast souls.
The person keeping the account should be a villager. The first few accounts on it are very old, and the number of beast souls traded is very small, and they are all marked as the souls of small beasts such as weasels and wild dogs. It seems that they should be the villagers. Forged by chance.
Such accounts are not fixed by the seller, and sometimes they are simply not kept.
Until four or five years ago, a seller named "Shou" was suddenly recorded in red ink in the accounts. Since his appearance, the number of villagers buying and selling beast souls has suddenly increased, and the animals used to obtain souls have also become beasts like wolves and tigers.
But the price they sold the animal soul to Mr. "Shou" was extremely low, less than half of what it used to be.
Obviously, this person has changed the way the villagers refine the beast souls, and this new method... probably was told to them by this "shou", so the villagers sold the beast souls at such a low price. he.
Since then, there have been more and more records about the sale of beast souls in the accounts. Ye Ge was a little frightened by the number of them, and another special buyer also appeared.
The grass-colored ink marks a buyer codenamed "Tao", whose accounts are often next to "Shou", presumably the two people should be related, and often even come together.
The word "Tao" made Ye Ge look down at Chang Ya's body. It probably represented Chang Ya Daoist.In addition...Ye Ge suddenly remembered that the wandering Taoist priest who gave Xie Chong and the bronze mirror back then, although there is no evidence yet, but in the dark, Ye Ge felt that he was very likely to be the Taoist priest of Changya .
Xie Zhen continued to flip through the books, and there was nothing unusual about the accounts in the middle two years, but in the third year, a familiar name fell into their eyes.
"Iron Arhat!"
Ye Ge couldn't help screaming softly. Although he had expected it, he was still surprised when he saw these three words.
What made him even more concerned was that... the pen and ink used to record Tie Luohan's accounts were the same red as Mr. "Shou"'s before.And since the appearance of Tie Luohan, there has been no account about "Shou".
That is, very likely, they are the same person.
Xie Zhen recalled the description of Tie Luohan by the bandit Jiaoshi in the previous school. The so-called iron bumps were probably a disguise. It should be in this year that "Shou" got the disguise of Tie Luohan, and the villagers They also changed his code name accordingly.
The records about Iron Arhat and Long Ya Taoist coming to buy beast souls continued to the end of the book, that is, two years ago.
After reading the account book, Ye Ge's doubts did not diminish: "Why did they hide this account book? Do you want to use this to threaten the people above?"
Xie Zhen continued to flip through the blank pages at the back of the ledger. Ye Ge guessed right. Buying and selling beast souls is a dishonorable thing. It makes sense for the villagers to use it to threaten the people above.
But this account alone is not enough, there must be something else.
At this time, a thin piece of paper sandwiched in the ledger fell lightly to the ground as Xie Zhen flipped it over.
The author has something to say: Knowing the "Tao"-Wandering Taoist priest-Master Wang'an-Long-Year Taoist priest, then "Shou"-Tie Luohan-?
