Lao Liao, who was on a Japanese parade, was very efficient in his work. Before Qin Shaoyou and others arrived at the post station in the east of the city, he turned back.

"My lord, I inspected the county town just now, and found that every family's children are locked at home and are not allowed to go out, and are not allowed to visit by the windows or doors. Even some big families in the county town have made wooden and iron buildings. Cages, and locked their own children in it."

Before Qin Shaoyou opened his mouth, Monk Ma, who also heard Lao Liao's report, frowned and asked in surprise: "Is there such a thing? Why do they lock up their own children? Is this place here for sex, or is there someone else?" Darkness is causing trouble?"

With more refugees, all kinds of illegal and criminal incidents will also increase, among which the cases of abduction and trafficking of women and children are the most.

On the one hand, the kidnapped women and children can be used to blackmail their families in exchange for food and property.

On the other hand, for some people who are extremely hungry, women and children are "not envious of sheep" and "rotten bones".

In the luggage, Lao Liao's voice came out: "Whether it is human beings or ghosts who are causing trouble, it is not clear for the time being. People in the county are very taboo about this matter, even if it is mentioned, it is vague, and it is a bit of a riddle. It seems to be afraid that once this matter is discussed, they will be the next to suffer."

Zhu Xiucai raised his eyebrows: "There is such a thing? Is there something in this county that is watching the people?"

Lao Liao said: "I also had the same suspicion at first, but after careful inspection, no suspicious person or thing was found."

"It's not Pat Hanako, it's a ghost."

Cui Yougui, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke with affirmative tone.

"How do you know?" Qin Shaoyou asked curiously.

He has not found too many clues in this county, and Su Tingyu has not smelled the smell of ghosts. Why did senior brother Cui discover it before they did?

This discovery... is it plausible?

Cui Youxu didn't hear the suspicion in Qin Shaoyou's words, and said rather proudly: "I did a fortune-telling just now, and I got two sentences, one is 'the clouds are dense', and the other is 'the wormwood will not make a tree'."

"Overcast?"

Monk Ma raised his head and looked at the sky. Although night was approaching, the sky was still clear, at least it was not covered by overcast clouds.

Cui Youxuan said angrily: "What do you think the sky is doing? Is this sentence from my divination referring directly to the weather? Superficial! Too superficial! You have to know how to discover its deep meaning. The dark clouds in these words , obviously refers to the aura of ghosts, indicating that there are not only ghosts haunting this place, but also some powerful ghosts, otherwise the cloudy air cannot cover the sky."

"However, there is no cloudy air covering the sky this day." Monk Ma muttered.

Cui Youxu was choked for a moment, and then he said bitterly, "Metaphor, do you understand the metaphor? I didn't mention the demons here, they are so arrogant that they dare to let out their breath to cover the sky... the government here , The town of demons, to the common people, isn’t it heaven? But they failed to catch the evil spirits, which means they were covered.”

Monk Ma nodded: "Although this explanation is blunt, it still makes sense, but what does the following sentence mean?"

Sun Xianzong was also at a loss.

Seeing that they didn't understand, Cui Yougui smiled and waited for an explanation.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiucai spoke before him:

"This sentence comes from "Chan Tong Qi", and there is another sentence before it: How can the eyes of fish be pearls? The combination of the two sentences means: How can the eyes of fish become pearls? The weeds in the wilderness are not It may become a tea tree... Hey, this sentence seems to say that there are things in this place that are misleading and pretending to be real."

Monk Ma, Sun Xianzong and the others nodded their heads repeatedly, but Cui Yougui kept frowning. He couldn't understand that Zhu Xiucai, a scholar of Confucianism, didn't treat Confucian classics well, and didn't read more erotic pornographic books. Why did you still read "San Tong Qi", this is a Taoist classic!

It’s not that senior brother Cui has a sect opinion and forbids people from other schools to read the Taoist classics. He was angry because Zhu Xiucai made him so aggressive and failed to pretend. He held back all the words that made him hungry. not come out.

Sun Xianzong murmured: "Could it be that the one at the back is misrepresenting the real one as the real thing? The old man guessed wrongly. It's not the ghosts who are doing things in this place, but people pretending to be ghosts?"

"Don't say it, it's really possible." Zhu Xiucai nodded.

Monk Ma proclaimed Amitabha, and felt that Sun Xianzong's guess was very likely.

Even Cui You ashamed himself, after being stunned for a moment, couldn't help scratching his head.

Although he didn't say anything, he was muttering in his heart: "Could it be that I really misinterpreted the hexagram?"

Only Qin Shaoyou did not rush to draw conclusions.

Regardless of whether it is a human or a ghost, at least one thing is certain—in this county, there are really evil spirits at work!

"What are you going to do?"

Su Jianqing, who was riding on horseback, asked in a low voice.

Qin Shaoyou thought for a while, and said: "Go to the post station to settle down first, and then call on the town monster here to see if there is any need for help."

"Aren't you going to expose your identity by doing this? Will it cause trouble?"

Qin Shaoyou was a little hesitant at first, but when he thought of the divination words given by Cui Youzhou before the trip, the hesitation in his heart disappeared instantly.

He said in a deep voice: "If we don't bump into this kind of thing, it's all right. If we bump into it, we can't ignore it, otherwise we don't want to be night watchmen... As for the trouble, Senior Brother Cui's previous hexagram said that this trip should be indomitable. So don’t be afraid just because you might get into trouble. If there is trouble, then go up to it, bump into it, and crush it to pieces!”

Everyone nodded in unison.

Just like what Qin Shaoyou said, if this kind of evil people who are specially targeting children just run into them and ignore them, they might as well take off their night watchman robes and go back to their hometown to sell sweet potatoes.

Soon, a group of people arrived at the station.

After showing the road citation documents and giving money, they asked for several guest rooms in the station.

They are all Datong shops.

But Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu, Wenzhu and Cen Biqing must live separately from the rough old men.

It's just that Qin Shaoyou might have to temporarily stop [Miaobi] tonight.

While everyone was unpacking their bags and feeding the horses, Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai were asking the postmen in the post station about the situation.

Before Zhu Xiucai went to inquire about the news, he first found out the "Shangshu" and boasted to himself: "I am approachable to the people."

Then I went to chat with the postmen, and quickly became friends with them.

It's a pity that even though Zhu Xiucai has already hooked up with the postmen, called them brothers and sisters, and even made an appointment to go to the sand dance theater together some other day, when these people heard him ask about the situation of the children in the county, they waved their hands repeatedly and refused Talk too much, but don't dare to talk too much, for fear that your own children will suffer because of it.

In the end, it was Qin Shaoyou who, relying on his three inches of immortality [smart tongue], pried open his mouth by talking about Tong Yi Cheng.
