After dressing as a high-risk master, I reverse the routine

After death, the three souls have their own destinations.

But the human soul that was supposed to stay here was not there, and the earth soul that was supposed to go to the underworld still remained in the human world, so the Taoist told Qi Yi that the soul was still there, and in a sense it was still there.

But why did Master lie?

Mo Xuanli didn't react for a while, but he cooperated with whatever the master said.

"Young Master Qi, we are here to help. After asking you some questions, we will go to Star City to investigate. I hope you will cooperate as much as possible."

But Qi Yi still didn't slow down, and the servant couldn't stand it anymore, so he said to the two of them: "Two priests, if you have any questions, the villain can help answer, if the villain can't answer, ask again." Young master, the young master may not be able to speak clearly now that he is like this."

The three avoided questioning from the collapsed Ziy.

Mo Xuanli asked a few important questions.First, do the two brides know each other and have something in common?Second, whether the bride's blood was sucked dry or drained, third, did the mad maid say anything, and fourth, what did the bride's family say.

The first two are easy to answer. Apart from being from the same city, the two brides have nothing in common, and they didn't even know each other before.Second, the blood was drained dry. When the maids inside screamed, everyone realized that the red wedding dress worn by the bride was darker by a degree, and it was obviously stained with blood. Wu Zuo said it was indeed a person's blood.

As for the third and fourth, the servants are not sure.

At this time, Qi Yi had been quiet for a long time and suddenly said: "The maid said she was joking with Xiaoyan, but suddenly fell into a coma. After waking up, she found Xiaoyan lying sideways and couldn't wake up. It was already bright red, as if someone had stabbed her with a sword... But the sedan chair never stopped, and it was impossible for someone to break in. It must have been evil spirits that killed Xiaoyan."

Qi Yi walked over with strength, and said: "I can tell you everything you want to know, and I can also take you to Xiaoyan's house to investigate, but I have one condition, please take me with you, if you find the murderer, even Even Xie Chong, please let me personally avenge Xiaoyan."

Presumably, Zi Yi had mentioned this request to all the Taoists who came, but no one would agree to him.

But when Gu Baiqing saw Qi Yi's ashes-like eyes, he said, "Okay. But you have to obey our orders."

Mo Xuanli was stunned, he thought Master would not involve mortals.

But Qi Yi's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had found the courage to live.

In the end, Qi Yi tidied up hastily and was about to go to Star City with Mo Xuanli and Gu Baiqing. The servants were worried and insisted on watching the young master together.On the way, he sent someone back to report the letter to Master Qi and his wife.

So at this moment, Qi's servants helped drive the car, and Qi Yi got into the carriage and explained the situation to them in detail.

"At that time, the girl was already half-crazy from fright, and she always said that she had a dream, and heard someone in the sedan chair say: Since you want to commit suicide, I will help you." Ziyi couldn't hide her pain when she said this. , "How could Xiaoyan want to commit suicide, how could she be willing... There must be evil spirits harming her."

Mo Xuanli frowned slightly, apparently having figured out some key point, the maid was able to recall normally from the beginning to being half-crazy, and finally completely insane, this kind of process was not normal in the first place.

Either he was frightened crazy at the beginning, or he gradually recovered, and in this situation, it was more like being affected by some evil force and gradually going crazy.

In addition, the blood was not collected and used, it was just left to drain, so it was not a curse or a spell, it was a real evil spirit that entered the sedan chair, killed Xiaoyan, and took away Xiaoyan's soul.

Qi Yi continued, "Actually, Xiaoyan's parents did not agree with our marriage before, and it can even be said that they strongly opposed it. They insisted on waiting for a few more years."

"They don't like you?" Gu Baiqing asked curiously.

Qi Yi shook his head and said: "No, they said it was because the fortune teller said that it is not suitable to get married in these few years, and there will be bloody disasters, but I made a mistake."

Speaking of this, Qi Yi beat her head angrily, "I was drunk and didn't control myself. I bullied Xiaoyan and made Xiaoyan pregnant. Her family wanted her to get rid of me without telling me, but Xiaoyan Yan was reluctant to bear the child, so she told me that when something like this happened, she would naturally get married, so Xiaoyan got into the sedan chair, but she didn't expect that there would be a bloody disaster. If only I waited to get married, it would be fine if I didn't make a mistake. Well, this is God's punishment for me."

Ziy cried for a while holding his headache after speaking, because he was still drunk, and finally fell asleep directly.

"It seems that this knot is really not easy to unravel." Gu Baiqing said.

It wasn't until this moment that Mo Xuanli asked the question in his heart, "Master, why did you say that just now...you should know Miss Xiaoyan's soul..."

"Tell him, let him have hope, and then?" Gu Baiqing asked melancholy, "We all know that Xiaoyan's soul can't leave the world normally, it must not be a good thing, maybe she is suffering, maybe she can't help herself, maybe she just died. The soul flies away, there is no good possibility, even if the best result finally finds the soul, he can't see her, he can't even touch her, it's just another despair. Why bother, it's better to let him free early. Tell him that Miss Xiaoyan has reincarnated well, isn't it? The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, his parents are like that, he should cheer up as soon as possible."

In fact, Gu Baiqing strongly disapproved of the previous Taoist's approach, not to mention that Qi Yi is a mortal, even a cultivator can't keep the undead, unless they are restrained by evil spells, those who have to go still have to go.Tell him, what else can I do besides make him crazy?

Mo Xuanli stared blankly at Gu Baiqing, no matter how cruel and decisive the master said, he seemed to be able to see the tenderness in the end of the master's eyes.

"Then take him with you..."

"Seeing that he has a kind of undying determination later on, I want him to take revenge in person, so it should be more liberating."

Although the original text did not elaborate on the reasons why they brought Ziy together, it was indeed Ziy who went on the road with them in the end.

Gu Baiqing thinks that a person who is as strict as the original body and self-disciplined will not easily involve mortals in evil incidents, unless he has the same thoughts as himself, and it is also considered a merit to ask Qi Yi to help him through this matter and see through it as soon as possible.

And now Gu Baiqing is even more able to do this, because he knows the ins and outs of it, in fact, it is an undead with persistent resentment that absorbs the magic energy and becomes a monster that keeps causing trouble.In the original text, Mo Xuanli has already fallen into a demon, and it is very easy to catch low-level monsters, so he quickly solved the problem, and then went to the wild spirit veins to find spirit crystals.

Although Mo Xuanli is not so easy to use now, the basic method is still the same, lure the monster out and catch it.

The abilities of the monsters themselves are mediocre, and when they control them, getting Qi Yi to take revenge can be regarded as fulfilling his wish.

The carriage swayed and finally drove into Star Stepping City.

And at the moment of entering the city gate, a strong pressure came down.

Mo Xuanli's face suddenly became ugly, and he forced himself to adapt.It seems that this is the defensive formation of Stepping Star City.

Stepping Star City is not under the guardianship of any sect, and only the lineage of the city lord in the city may be exposed to Taoism. In this case, it can remain stable because of the giant formation left by the ancestors. They will all be restrained by a certain amount of mana, the stronger the person, the greater the restraint.

This kind of feeling is like giving ordinary people a twenty-pound sandbag to carry with them after entering the city, and this restraint does not restrict the lineage of the city lord, so even if the city lord's cultivation is average, as long as he is in the city, he can deal with people who are better than himself. Several grades are not a problem.

It's not that there have been accidents in Star City before, but they can basically solve it on their own. People with magic power are uncomfortable staying here, so no matter whether it is good or bad, everyone tries not to come here.

"How do you feel?" Gu Baiqing watched from the side.

Mo Xuanli barely opened his eyes, took a breath, looked at Gu Baiqing in a daze, and then realized that the master who has no spiritual power is not affected by this at all, and Sandou's spiritual power is linked to the master, so Unaffected, she was rubbing against him worriedly.

"I'm fine, I just need to get used to it." Mo Xuanli said with a light smile, "I just thought that if there is this magic circle, the murderer who commits the crime is more likely to be a local than an outsider.

Gu Baiqing nodded, it seems that Mo Xuanli will soon find out the truth.

The crowd soon came to Xiaoyan's house, and Qi Yi was also awake, but he didn't dare to enter with them, but climbed up a nearby big tree and stared blankly inside. According to the servants, that direction was Xiaoyan's. The boudoir, in the past, every time Qi Yi came here with his father into the city, he would climb up the tree and call Xiaoyan, every time Xiaoyan was frightened, and he did not change after saying it several times. He said it was because he could see Xiaoyan the fastest, otherwise he would have to go around the gate.

Every time he called out Xiaoyan like this first, and then the two ran to the gate together, so that they could meet as soon as possible.He would bring Xiaoyan the fruit wine from Quanshu Township, and Xiaoyan would give him the snacks he prepared for Star City. No matter what the adults said, they would just stay at the stone table in the courtyard and immerse themselves in their own small world.

Gu Baiqing and Mo Xuanli went to knock on the door, and it was directly opened by the boy at home.According to Qi Yi's explanation, this should be Xiaoyan's younger brother.

"Who are you looking for?"

Mo Xuanli stepped forward to explain why he came, and the younger brother immediately frowned and said, "Why are you here again? Brother-in-law really doesn't give up, it's not like that at all, let's wait for the city lord to deal with it."

Judging by the way the young man blocked the door, he probably didn't want the two of them to go in.

"That's not the case? Does this little brother know the truth?" Mo Xuan left his mouth and said.

"Curse the bride, there is no murderer at all." The boy was talking when he was stopped by the voice inside.Then an old woman came out.

"Oh? That child Qi Yi sent you here again? We don't blame him for getting Xiaoyan involved, so can't he let the child go away quietly?" The old woman also seemed to be calm in the grief of her daughter's death.

"Master Qi also wants to let his wife rest in peace." Mo Xuanli said seriously.

"Close eyes... Heh, then why didn't you listen to our persuasion at the beginning and wait for a few more years, and you have said that you can't get married in these few years." The woman became excited when she spoke, but finally stopped sadly, "Also Blame us, blame us for thinking that if she is pregnant, her life can be changed, but I didn't expect... we are also sorry for her."

Seeing the woman crying, the boy hurriedly comforted her.

"Why do you have to wait a few years? Who told you?" Mo Xuanli asked suspiciously, "Is this related to the bride's curse you just mentioned?"

As a result, Mo Xuanli's question had just been raised, and the woman looked as if she was about to faint from the shock.

Mo Xuanli still wanted to ask again, but the woman only said, "You outsiders won't understand, so please go back, let's settle the matter of stepping into the Star City by ourselves."

After finishing speaking, he forcibly closed the door, obviously unwilling to mention more.

Mo Xuanli and Gu Baiqing returned to the carriage, and Qi Yi came down to inquire about the situation.

"Bride's curse?" Ziy was taken aback by the question.

"Haven't you heard of it?" Mo Xuanli asked curiously: "I think the so-called fortune-telling saying that you can't get married in recent years is probably what this family said to people outside the city. It should be that something happened to Xiaoyan and the previous girl who married. It's what's called the Bride's Curse."

Of course, the bride's curse is different from the curses mentioned by their ascetics. The folk curse is more inclined to an act of revenge, and the evil may be directly killed by evil spirits.

"I... I haven't heard of it. I always thought that Xiaoyan's worry before getting married was due to fortune-telling, but she said that it should be different when she is pregnant, so she wants to get married." Qi Yi panicked As he spoke, he was stunned for a moment, "I don't know... Is it related? In fact, not only did the two girls who married us in Quanshu Township have an accident, I also heard about the death of the bride when I entered Star City a few years ago. Incidents, but they are not frequent, and there is not much news."

It's not a big deal for one person to die every year, and in ancient times, most of them were ordered by their parents, and there were many women who didn't want to marry. Naturally, it's not rare news that they can't think about it.What's more, dead people are bad things, so outsiders will never know how they died.

Ziy didn't think of any curse at all.

"It seems that we have to investigate in another place."

Ziy didn't know clearly, so he had to ask the locals, so they moved to the busiest tavern in Star City.

After taking a seat in the tavern, Qi Yi was very anxious, so he directly grabbed Xiao Er and asked if he knew what the bride's curse was. Neither Mo Xuanli nor Gu Baiqing thought that this kid would be so impatient, so they could only let him ask, and sure enough Xiao Er's expression changed slightly, then he shook his head and smiled and said: "The guest officer came from another place, did he hear the nonsense of the children, and it was rumored because of the unfortunate death of several brides. There is no such thing at all. In fact, the dissatisfied guest officials said that we have visited several Taoist priests here, and we have not found out any curses, and they are all fake."

After Xiao Er finished speaking, he smiled and left.

Qi Yi said impatiently: "How about we go directly to the city lord to ask for clarification, the city lord is very close to the people, he must know what the bride curse is."

Mo Xuanli and Gu Baiqing looked at each other, then shook their heads at Qi Yi.

Mo Xuanli said: "Brother Xiaoyan said, leave it to the city lord to solve it, which means that the city lord may also be investigating this matter. If we don't take the initiative to ask the Taoist for help, our involvement will only cause resentment. If we don't drive us out, it will be fine." Alright."

"It makes sense." Ziy nodded in a daze. "Then I'll go and sit downstairs, so that there are more opportunities to snoop on the two floors."

Watching Qi Yi go downstairs, Mo Xuanli turned around and saw Gu Baiqing looking at him.

Mo Xuanli looked embarrassed, "Master, I..."

"You didn't tell the truth just now, did you?" Gu Baiqing said.

Mo Xuanli nodded and explained that the reasons for not looking for the city lord were due to the following points. First, he was afraid of conflicts. Second, the city lord was a cultivator. If they entered the city, the city lord would definitely feel that they were making excuses. , in fact, the purpose is in the spiritual veins. Thirdly, Mo Xuanli feels that even if he goes, it is more likely that the city lord will not tell the truth.

If there is really a bride's curse, why doesn't the city lord stop the marriage, and this city lord, as a cultivator, spends years even finding an evil spirit?It feels like there are many unreasonable things, so Mo Xuanli thinks it's better not to look for it for the time being.

In fact, Mo Xuanli wronged the city lord on this point, but Gu Baiqing couldn't spoil it, he couldn't possibly know more than Mo Xuanli, so he could only keep silent, since the city lord was really useless anyway.

Seeing the master's silence, Mo Xuanli thought it was troublesome for the master to dislike things.

"In fact, there is a simpler solution, but there is too little information at present, and I am afraid that I will find the wrong law, and my work will be wasted, and I will startle the snake."

Mo Xuanli said seriously, but Gu Baiqing suddenly remembered something, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "Then take your time."

At this moment, Sandou couldn't help asking curiously in a low voice: "Xuanli, tell me what you can do."

Mo Xuanli lowered his head and smiled, and said directly: "Actually, if we hold another wedding ceremony, if the evil spirits come, we can catch them directly, so we don't need to investigate so many complicated information. We have nothing to do with any secrets in this city."

Sandou immediately said excitedly: "Xuanli is so smart, it is indeed a once-and-for-all solution, then let's do this, solve it quickly, so we can get down to business."

Since entering Star City, Sandou has been very restless, because the spiritual veins full of aura are nearby, and Sandou wants to feel the happiness surrounded by aura as soon as possible.

Gu Baiqing's brows had already jumped up, and just about to change the subject, Sandou said: "Who are you looking for to pretend to be the bride and groom? Could it be you two?"

Mo Xuanli was taken aback for a moment, as if he hadn't thought of this question for a while.Yes, who will play it?You can't let mortals take risks.

But the master has no spiritual power... The most dangerous bride role should be played by oneself?Then Master... Pretending to be a groom?

Mo Xuanli instinctively looked at Gu Baiqing.

Gu Baiqing's face froze, her mind was full of the original plot.

Hehe, here it comes, it really came, the original text is like this, Mo Xuanli pretends to be the groom, the master pretends to be the bride, and killing monsters is all by the way, but it's just a scene to satisfy Mo Xuanli and marry the master. Before he could kill him in time, he rolled into the bridal chamber with his master in his arms, threatening that the poisonous poison would break out, so that his master would not even have time to take off his wedding dress.

It's all a routine, a routine!

Although it is impossible to be like the original text now, but I want him to play the bride and walk into the same ambiguous routine, and it feels like a pair with the apprentice abruptly.

Gu Baiqing can only say one thing: don't think about it.

Just trying to find a reason to investigate slowly, and directly abandon the fake wedding plan.

As a result, exclamations were heard from people around.

"Oh my god, do you want to die? Is there really someone who dares to get married?"

"Of course, just three days later, the shops where the wedding was held went crazy. It was said that the visitor was generous, and they had to rush to prepare for the wedding. Moreover, the two newcomers seemed to be foreigners, so they probably didn't know the situation."

"Maybe the young couple eloped here and planned to get married on the spot. I don't know if the city lord will come out to stop it."

"Even the city lord can't interfere with other people's marriage. I guess they just need to send someone to remind them, but they have already chosen a date, so I don't think they will agree in such a hurry."

Mo Xuanli listened, and murmured: "This is an opportunity..."

But Gu Baiqing was a little puzzled, that's not right, in the original text, no one got married before Mo Xuanli solved the matter, why is this plot wrong?
