I have an eternal eye
Chapter 499 The troublemaker
"Moment?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Zhang Biao's eyes.
The so-called "moment" means that the rules of the world are distorted.
Simply understood, it is equivalent to some lesions or tumors at the origin of the world. Within its scope, incredible things will happen, and sometimes evil spirits will take over.
This kind of thing is not uncommon.
Even the construction of Youqian City absorbed a lot of "moments" to achieve its current scale.
The "moment" in front of us is not large in scale. It can at most cause frequent strange things in an area. In the past life, it would have formed the so-called rules and strange stories.
But it happened in the Surabaya world, but it was very strange.
There are many ancient gods ruling here. They have long abandoned the ancient bloody sacrifices and have their own incense god sects under their command. How could such a thing appear?
Zhang Biao was thoughtful and continued to move forward.
Bang! ——Bang bang!
"Close the doors, close the windows, be careful of candles..."
In the distance, the sound of the watchman came.
There is also a special meaning to the names of the clocks. The so-called "people at the first watch, fire at the second watch, ghosts at the third watch, thieves at the fourth watch, and chickens at the fifth watch". There will be different reminders at each time.
It was already the second watch, and every household had to turn off the lights and go to sleep. However, Zhang Biao didn't go far when he saw bright lights ahead and faint sounds of crying.
But it is a large house with three entrances. There is also a mourning hall and paper figures and horses in the courtyard. The people wearing hemp and mourning inside did not keep vigil. Instead, they stumbled and rushed out from inside.
"It's a fake corpse!"
"It's haunted!"
Outside the door, several family members were sitting on the ground with pale faces, trembling and at a loss.
Just then, footsteps sounded in the distance.
They looked up and saw a Taoist coming out of the thick night fog. He had a white face, a long beard, and a pair of triangular eyes. He was carrying a long flag and his Taoist robes were in tatters. He didn't look like a good person.
However, one of the middle-aged men's eyes lit up, and he crawled over and said urgently: "Master Lu, you came just in time, there is another death in the family."
"It doesn't matter."
Zhang Biao looked calm and glanced.
This family, whose surname is Guo, runs a mulberry and linen cloth business and is considered one of the richest families in the city.
The speaker is Guo Huaining, the second eldest child in the family. He is usually responsible for traveling around to transport goods. Once he led a caravan to a barren mountain at night and encountered an evil spirit. He was rescued by Lu Sheng and they became friends.
Zhang Biao originally thought that the attack on his predecessor was related to the Guo family, but judging from his appearance, he probably didn't know.
The people of the Guo family were all ordinary people. When they saw him coming, they immediately had a backbone. They all ran like rabbits and hid behind him.
Boom!
In the house, there was suddenly the sound of heavy footsteps.
Immediately afterwards, a figure rose into the air and jumped out of the courtyard. It was an old woman wearing a shroud, with an ashen complexion and black smoke coming out of her body.
Guo Huaining said sadly: "Master Lu, things happened one after another at home, and my mother also died of anger. It has only been two days since she died. How...why did she fake her body again?"
"It's not a fake corpse, it's a fetus."
Zhang Biao's eyes twitched and his face looked a little strange.
"Ah, miscarriage?"
"How can a dead person have an abortion?"
"Master, have you read it wrong?"
When everyone heard this, their faces were full of disbelief.
There is the Incense God Sect in the Sishui world. Although the cultivation techniques are not widely spread, the common people are very clear about some common terms for evil spirits.
The so-called "abortion of the fetus" often occurs in children, when the soul leaves the mortal body and is reincarnated in another mother's body. It is called "abortion of the fetus". It manifests as frequent illness, sallow complexion and thin skin, restless sleep at night, and likes to stay in other homes at night.
And sometimes, it's more troublesome.
The separated soul will be occupied by other scattered ghosts. After all, the spiritual world is cold and dark. This kind of body without soul is like a warm home, which will attract many things.
As for this old lady, the situation is even more special.
After hearing the people's inquiries, Zhang Biao didn't explain much and took out a soul-suppressing bell from his host Lu Sheng's cloth pocket.
With his ability, these things can be easily solved.
But his current avatar only has 70% of the Dao of the original body, which is similar to the ordinary Nascent Soul. He cannot reveal the Yang God at will to avoid attracting the attention of the gods in this world, so he can only use ordinary magic.
Ring ring ring!
The soul-calming bell rang, resounding throughout the alley.
This can be regarded as a magic weapon. Although it is of low quality, it is not something ordinary people can bear. People around them can only feel the echo of the ringing and their heads are buzzing.
The old woman in the shroud even fell to the ground with a thud, landing on all fours like a wild animal, scurrying back and forth on the wall, trying to escape.
If it were the previous host, it would definitely not be able to subdue the opponent.
But it was easy for Zhang Biao.
The soul-suppressing bell rang again, and the old woman fell to the ground motionless with a plop, and the black smoke gradually dissipated.
"Okay, let's carry the person in."
Zhang Biao put away the soul-calming bell and gave an order.
Everyone looked at each other and saw that the corpse was indeed motionless. Then they dared to step forward and carried it back to the mourning hall and put it into the coffin.
At this moment, Zhang Biao felt something and glanced at the alley behind him calmly, and then, surrounded by people, he entered the Guo family mansion.
After instructing the servants not to talk nonsense, the three Guo brothers invited Zhang Biao into the back house, prepared a banquet and served him carefully.
"Master, how could it be that it was a miscarriage?"
The second child, Guo Huaining, couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Biao didn't hide anything. He casually took a bite of food and wine and said in a low voice: "The people just now have too many eyesight, so it's hard to ask too many questions."
"Old madam, why are you pregnant?"
This is the reason why he looks weird.
Look at this old woman, she is at least over sixty years old, her essence and blood are exhausted, but she is pregnant with a fetus in her belly, and it is a stillborn fetus, so she is possessed by the ghost of an animal.
"impossible!"
Guo Huai'en, the boss of the Guo family, suddenly changed his face and stood up with his face flushed. He was about to roar, but he looked out the window and gritted his teeth and whispered: "Master, you must be wrong. If you continue to talk nonsense, I will fight you to the death." !”
The other two brothers also had angry faces.
The so-called Canglin is practical and knows etiquette.
Surabaya is rich in products, commerce and trade are developed, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Although there is no existence similar to Confucianism, the various incense religious sects have strict doctrines, which are similar to those of etiquette, benevolence, wisdom, and faith.
Although the Guo family is a businessman, they attach great importance to family tradition. If this kind of thing is spread, generations of people will be unable to hold their heads high.
"sit down!"
Zhang Biao scolded him without even raising his head.
The three brothers couldn't help but sat down with a plop, their eyes full of fear.
Only then did they remember that the other party was a warlock.
Zhang Biao didn't bother to play riddles with them, and said calmly: "The old woman had a fetus in her belly, so she attracted a stupid little demon with some moral skills. She wanted to seize the body, but she didn't expect that the fetus died before it was formed. Only when the resentment persists will they come out to cause trouble."
"If you don't believe it, just kill a chicken and tease it, and it will still jump up and down."
"ah?!"
The three brothers suddenly looked uncertain.
The second child, Guo Huaining, gritted his teeth and whispered: "To be honest, master, it was just in the kitchen that the chicken was killed, and the decapitated chicken was running around and ran to the mourning hall, which is why this happened."
"It must be Guo Zhong!"
Unlike the other two brothers, the third eldest son of the Guo family was a bearded and somewhat brave man. He didn't know what he thought of, and he was so angry that he slapped the table.
"Huaici, sit down."
The eldest son of the Guo family reprimanded, his eyes uncertain, and he whispered to Zhang Biao: "Guo Zhong is an old servant of my family. He has always served the old lady, but he is already quite old..."
"It has nothing to do with him."
Zhang Biao shook his head slightly and looked at a huge peach blossom tree outside the courtyard, his eyes slightly cold, "How many people died in the past few days, are they all women?"
"Um."
The second eldest brother, Guo Huaining, nodded, "First it was a distant female family member who came to visit relatives and was killed before leaving. Then came the groom's wife, and...my brother's daughter..."
As he said this, he glanced at the boss, Wynn, whose lips were trembling and tears streaming down his face.
Zhang Biao said in a deep voice: "Why don't you report it to the Divine Religion?"
From the memory of his predecessor, he learned that the Chu State where he was currently enshrined the ancient god Hei Gong, and the Incense God Sect was also considered to be extremely powerful.
Things like this that cost a lot of lives are usually handled by the local Incense God Cult.
The former sorcerer who traveled around the world had limited abilities and could only take on some small jobs that the gods were too lazy to take care of.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to survive.
"Reported."
The eldest son of the Guo family said sadly: "The priest of the divine sect came to see us and said that we were infected with the epidemic and asked us to move out as soon as possible."
"I thought it was because the money sent was not enough, but they didn't accept it at all..."
At this point, there are no more words.
They are not fools and have noticed something is wrong.
Even Lu Sheng, a charlatan, could see things, but the divine cult insisted that he was sick. There was also the earthly deity in the town who should have appeared when he had just faked the corpse, but there was no movement.
This matter is probably related to the divine religion.
This was a little hard for them to accept.
In other words, I dare not think about it.
Considering the status of the Black God Sect in the Chu State, it can be said that it is more powerful than the government. It is easy to punish their crimes.
Guo Huaici, the third child, lost his anger just now and said with a pale face: "We...when did we offend the divine religion..."
The boss, Guo Huai'en, gritted his teeth and said, "Get ready. We will leave tomorrow. We will tell the public that we will send the old lady's coffin back to her hometown. The third brother will stay and sell several shops at low prices!"
The second child, Guo Huaining, said in a deep voice: "No, don't ask for anything. I'll go prepare it right now."
Obviously, they have chosen to back down.
Guo Huaien recalled the words of the priest, which clearly reminded them to get out of here if they were infected with the disease.
Although I don’t know why, the divine religion wants to make things difficult for them, but it is obvious that leaving is the only way to save their lives.
Zhang Biao covered his head and ate the food and wine.
He had vaguely guessed the reason.
The peach tree in the courtyard, for unknown reasons, has a "moment", which can make the house inseparable from yin and yang at the third watch of the night.
Some obscene and evil spirits took the opportunity to disturb the female family members, causing these women to secretly harbor evil intentions and be sucked dry of their essence and blood to death.
There may be someone in the divine sect here who is eyeing this "Jiu" and wants to drive the Guo family away first and then take it for themselves.
He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
First, it is easy to expose your identity.
The owner of both the victims will not be held accountable. If he takes action, he can pat his butt and leave afterwards, but these ordinary people will be retaliated and their families will be destroyed.
Sure enough, after the three Guo brothers went out, there was a lot of noise outside, followed by the sound of rummaging through boxes and the neighing of mules and horses.
Before I knew it, it was past the third watch.
At some point, the light in the house became dim. Zhang Biao put down the wine glass in his hand and slowly raised his head, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Moment" once again exerts its power, and the entire house has become a ghost with no distinction between yin and yang, but it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it.
Phew~
The dark wind blew by, and the lanterns in the courtyard turned a pale green, reflecting the faces of the Guo family, all green and extremely eerie.
White mist surged up, everyone stopped, their eyes became dull.
In the courtyard, a figure appeared at some point, wearing a military uniform, with a blue face and red beard, sharp mouth and fangs, and eyes full of red light.
There is a golden light shining with the divine power of incense on his body, he is the landowner of this town...
