The three senior brothers were very worried and insisted on going down the mountain together, but Qing Huan refused to agree. Of course, she did not doubt the abilities of these two, but she was still worried. Eldest brother always dotes on her, she will do whatever she says, and this time she still can't stand her, let alone third senior brother, as long as he falls into a state of unconsciousness, Qing Huan doesn't even need to persuade him.
After coming back, after cleaning up the two senior brothers and preparing meals, Qing Huan hurried down the mountain again.
Old man Lang and the second senior brother have already found out the news.
It is said that the son of the county grandfather's family has not shown up for a long time. You must know that this dude is the most feminine, and he has no intention of studying and runs to Fireworks and Willow Alley all day long. This time I didn't show up for more than a month, and everyone felt strange.
Old man Lang went to the brothel to investigate. At first the madam wouldn't let him in—who wants a bad old man to come in, he looks so poor that he has no money. Later, old man Lang got angry and posted a sign, and the madam obeyed him.
The son of the county grandfather's family is named Fangzheng. He has a good name, but he is not Fangzheng at all. He eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles. He once robbed women from the people. Someone filed a complaint at the county government, but unfortunately it was useless. Here, the magistrate is the local emperor, so in the end, the person who complained was not only not satisfied, but was kicked out with a board.
In this case, there is a reason to explain why the county magistrate stopped looking for people after a couple of improvised searches. It's just that I don't know what the relationship between the monster and the county magistrate is, and what was that lump in the small sedan chair that was carried out of the county government that night? is a person? Is it a ghost? Is it a demon? or something else
That's all there is to inquire about. Anyway, it's confirmed that the thing has something to do with the county magistrate. As for what kind of relationship it is, and where it came from, I don't know.
It's not easy to check. Qing Huan frowned, watching old man Lang put on a special Taoist robe, and then shaved off the beard that he had grown for many years, and combed his hair neatly. He was also very energetic, a bit fairy Daogu has the appearance of a master of Taoism.
What is this for? At the urging of Old Man Lang, Qing Huan also changed into a Taoist robe, as did the second senior brother, and the two of them followed Old Man Lang like two little Taoist boys.
Then old man Lang swaggered to beat the door of the county government office.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is hammering. The yamen servant who opened the door saw that he was an old Taoist priest who looked quite stylish, and his heart skipped a beat. Thinking of the fact that the county yamen was haunted by ghosts these days but was ordered not to speak out by the county magistrate, his voice became softer now, and asked Old Man Lang : "I don't know if it's important to knock on the door long?"
Old man Lang pretended to bow, and said: "Old Dao looks at the dark atmosphere in the town from afar, and he thinks there are evildoers who are bewildering the world. I would like to ask this little brother to help you to inform him, saying that the old Dao came here to subjugate demons and exorcise evil spirits."
The yamen servant hesitated for a moment, then turned around to exchange a few words with another yamen servant, and said, "The Taoist chief, please wait a little while, I'll ask my master." Then he closed the door again.
After about a quarter of an hour, the yamen servant came back and respectfully invited old man Lang in.
The county magistrate is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a goatee and a pair of sharp triangular eyes. He first looked up and down the old man Lang, and felt that the old man looked a bit like an expert, and he had some hopes in his heart, but he didn't dare to hold too much. After all, he has invited all the well-known monks, mages, Taoists, nuns, dance gods, and none of them are useful.
Old man Lang hurriedly said before the magistrate said: "My lord, the old man saw the black air rising from the mountain, what strange thing happened in your mansion?"
How could the magistrate of the county speak out about his own affairs, he just said perfunctorily, "No."
"Heh." Old man Lang laughed lowly, he really looked like an expert, he stared at Qing Huan and the second senior brother in a daze, until now they both thought that old man Lang was joking. "In that case, the old man is just meddling in his own business, let's go!" He got up and left.
Qing Huan and the second senior brother also moved, but before they could even take a step, the magistrate stopped him: "Wait a minute!"
Old man Lang laughed wickedly, but when he turned his head, he looked serious and calm again: "Is there anything else you want, my lord?"
"To tell you the truth, something strange happened in my official's house." The magistrate waved his hand, and all the people present retreated, leaving only a few of his confidantes. "The town has been haunted by ghosts in the past few days, and it has already come to my county government office. It's just that I'm afraid that people's hearts will fluctuate, so I keep suppressing it and dare not make it public."
"What's the matter?" Old man Lang asked. "But it's related to Young Master Ling?"
The magistrate sighed.
In fact, it's not a big deal, Fangzheng got used to being careless, he didn't dare to do bad things, but he caught a lot of bad things. That day when he went to the brothel, the madam said that there was a new girl who looked so handsome and watery. The beauty's nest was happy for more than ten days.
Half a month later in the morning, Fangzheng woke up with a stench. He opened his eyes and saw that the beauty who had been hugged in his arms for more than ten days had turned into a lump of skin and flesh! He was so frightened that he ran back to the county office without saying anything, always fearing that people from the brothel would find him and regard him as a murderer.
But the strangeness is strange here. Afterwards, the magistrate of the county sent someone to investigate, but the madam said that she had never had a new girl, let alone serve Mr. Fangzheng. The most important thing is that Mr. Fangzheng has not stepped into the gate of their brothel for more than half a month!
Isn't this a hell of a day!
After Fangzheng came back, he was haunted by strange things, and he couldn't come out of the room all day and all night. At first the county magistrate didn't notice it, but later he felt that the men who were in their prime were missing one by one, and died one by one. After the death of the family, he didn't dare to live at home, so he moved his family to the county government office. Staying here for a while, but weird things continue to happen, the whole town has people missing and others dying! They are all young men of seventeen or eighteen! The healthy kind!
The county magistrate faintly felt that something serious had happened, but he didn't understand, so he had to invite some monks and nuns, but these people were also half-knowledgeable, and instead of saving people, they even risked their own lives. In the end, the county magistrate had no choice but to waste his time like this.
But those dead people suddenly appeared in their home, and they were all lifelike. Except for stiff limbs, dull eyes, and cold body, they were no different from normal people, and their strength was infinite. The walking dead guarding the door grabbed his hand and almost broke his wrist!
After that, no one knew what Fang Zheng was like in the room. The county magistrate moved to the county government office, and now Fangzheng is left alone at home.
Qing Huan remembers that old man Lang said that when a person dies, the soul will naturally go to reincarnation. If so, no ghost would want to lose the chance to reincarnate.
There is a grievance and a debtor, and the ghost's revenge is naturally to revenge those who hurt him, but old man Lang asked all over, and the county magistrate couldn't figure out who was trying to harm Fangzheng.
After recognizing those people as the missing Erlang, the county magistrate ordered them not to pursue them any further. He knew that what he did was wrong, and that something would happen sooner or later, but now he just thinks that he can survive for a day, and it is better than dying now. good.
Old man Lang despised the magistrate, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and left his son alone for his own survival. This made him have a very bad impression of the magistrate. "My lord, can you give me the key to your mansion so that the channel can take a look in person?" At this point, old man Lang is going to despise the magistrate again. What kind of person is this? Well, if Fangzheng can escape, he won't be able to. Isn't he seeking death for his son
In fact, the county magistrate didn't know whether Fangzheng was dead or not. It stands to reason that at the speed of that monster, ordinary people would have been killed by it. But the morning the magistrate fled, he heard his son's cry for help with certainty. It's just that he cowardly turned around and ran away instead of saving her.
Old man Lang asked for the key, so he ordered someone to give it to old man Lang. Anyway, there was nothing good at home, and he had asked someone to pack up the valuables and take them away. The current home is just an empty city.
Qing Huan also despises this county magistrate very much. In this world, the inferiority of human beings is really terrible and pathetic. Relatives who are connected by blood can be abandoned. What else can't be abandoned
Old man Lang said that it was useless to go there during the day, so the three masters and apprentices went around the county grandpa's house twice to check Fengshui, then found a noodle shop and sat down to have a meal to fill their stomachs.
Old man Lang poured three bowls of noodles in one go, then wiped his mouth and said contentedly: "Saving people is the most important thing. Our first task tonight is to rescue Fangzheng, and not to get entangled with that monster, remember?"
Qing Huan nodded to the second senior brother, Old Man Lang was satisfied, he ordered another bowl of noodles, and drank the noodle soup loudly. Qing Huan didn't have much appetite, firstly she wasn't hungry, and secondly, the thought of those big white meat maggots made her sick, the noodles looked quite similar to them, she had better not eat them.
As a result, the remaining noodles belonged to the second senior brother after the duel between old man Lang and the second senior brother.
After dinner, the three master and apprentice began to wander around the town. Qing Huan rarely went down the mountain before, let alone go shopping. She walked slowly. Unfortunately, because of the haunting, it was dark now, no matter what happened Son, everyone finished their meal early and went to bed, the door was locked tightly, and those with strong men at home were the most nervous.
