Talk about the world of mortals in detail

The people around him were all amazed at the changes just now, and their eyes when looking at Daoren Xue completely changed.

Some people who were close to Old Zhengtou were also pleasantly surprised by his recovery at this moment. While Old Zhengtou was still coughing, some people could not help but speak out.

"Old Mr. Zheng, are you okay?" "Uncle Zheng, are you okay?"

Taoist Xue didn't think too much for the time being and looked at the old man aside.

"Cough, cough. Vomit. Bah. Water, give me water."

"Come on, come on, the water is coming!"

The person next to him who was originally responsible for taking care of the unconscious government servant immediately brought a bowl of tea. Old Zheng took the bowl with his head, took a big mouthful, rinsed his mouth and spit it out with a "pop".

Then "GuluGulu" drank up a bowl of water in one breath, and then felt like the world was spinning.

With a "pop~" sound, the bowl in Old Zhengtou's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Lao Zhengtou himself managed to avoid falling off the bed. Fortunately, the yamen servant on the side had quick eyesight and quick hands to hold Lao Zhengtou.

"Old Mr. Zheng!" "Uncle Zheng?"

"Lie down, lie down!" "Taoist Master, what's going on?"

Taoist Xue waved his hand.

"It's okay, it's just a physical weakness. The doctor prescribes tranquilizers and you still have to take them, so as to strengthen the foundation."

"Hey, I'm going to the pharmacy right now!"

Someone left with the prescription, while Taoist Xue sat by the bed, looked at Old Zheng who was breathing less, and asked about the situation again.

"This old man, please tell me what you saw or felt last night?"

Everyone else knew that this was a major event, and even the doctor who had just gone out was reluctant to leave even though he had already collected the consultation fee, so he came over.

"Yes, Mr. Zheng, what did you see last night?"

Old Zheng calmed down and looked at Liu Huifang and Qiao'er, who were just outside the bed. His thoughts that were a little confused just now became clearer, and he recalled some things from last night.

"Last night, I heard Miss Qiaoer calling for someone, so I went over."

Based on Lao Zhengtou's narration, everyone also imagined the scene last night. Lao Zhengtou was panicked when he heard the shouting over there, and hurriedly came to Liu's house.

Judging from Qiaoer's words inside, Old Zhengtou at that time thought that the people inside thought there was a thief, and after the explanation, the people inside felt at ease.

But when Qiaoer's door opened, panic appeared on her face, and then she screamed, and Ms. Liu inside also screamed in surprise.

"I don't know what happened, but there must have been something behind me. As soon as I turned around, I felt a biting chill coming over me and saw a ghost with disheveled hair and blood all over it."

Speaking of this matter, Lao Zheng's head and hands were shaking at the moment, and the people listening next to him also felt their scalps numb.

Both Qiaoer and Mrs. Liu had cold hands and feet, and they were full of fear as they cuddled up against each other.

And Old Zhengtou's narrative continues.

"I was so frightened at the time that I instinctively backed away and ran away."

"Run away, but Miss Qiao'er said you fainted at that time, didn't you?"

The yamen servant who was talking stopped talking and subconsciously looked at Xue Daoren beside the bed. There were many people doing the same thing, including the old yamen servant himself.

The doctor on one side looked amazed, stroking his beard and looking at the person on the bed, and then at the Taoist beside the bed.

This is also the first time that the doctor has actually heard of "separation of body and soul". The so-called shocking people often cannot imagine the specific details.

Daoren Xue is the only one who is relatively calm. When everyone is panicking, his calmness can also make others feel at ease.

"Go on, what happened after that?"

The old yamen officer nodded and continued.

"At that time, all I knew was that I was afraid. I couldn't think of anything else. When I ran away, I glanced at the door over there. The evil ghost rushed towards the house. I even heard it shouting, 'It's all you, it's all you'."

Others had goosebumps, and the two women even crossed their arms.

"Then there was the shrill cry of the fierce ghost, but it seemed that it could not enter the house. I saw a burst of white light shining from the house, and it was knocked out."

"and after?"

"Later, I had already escaped, so I didn't know clearly anymore. I just ran away and ran away, so confused that I couldn't even clearly see what happened next. Just now, I heard someone talking to me?"

Taoist Xue frowned, just now? Could it be that the evil ghost has appeared now?

However, Old Zhengtou's next words dispelled the doubts of Taoist Xue and others.

"I seemed to hear someone saying that my time has not come yet, let me go back, and then I was patted on the back. Then I seemed to fall from a height, and fell back all of a sudden, and then I woke up. Already."

After saying this, Old Zheng seemed to be in a daze, and the expressions on the faces of others were also very exciting.

Taoist Xue also showed a hint of surprise and said.

"It seems that some ghosts and gods passed by and helped you, allowing you to come back so quickly."

Old Zheng looked at the Taoist and couldn't help but ask.

"What the Taoist meant, that voice is"

Taoist Xue looked up and down at Old Zheng, with a playful smile on his face.

"Master Lao Cha is very old. The next time you hear that sound, you will be at the end of your life. Who do you think that sound belongs to? Gong Mi Zhi, Jiao Liang Yi, one of the two! "

None of the young people in the county government knew these two names, not even the old government officials who often went to worship gods.

Master Xue is not surprised either. Ordinary people pray to God and worship Buddha, that is, a young monk chants sutras without thinking, offers incense and prays for things, and then leaves after asking for things. How can he pay attention to "superfluous" things?

But now Mrs. Liu spoke.

"Gong Mizhi and Jiao Liangyi were people from the previous dynasty. According to the records of Haiyu County, their ancestral home is Haiyu County, Beihai County. The former hated evil and became a knight in the rivers and lakes. The latter was an old arrester in the county and died in old age. It is rumored that both After his death, he became the county’s envoy for daily patrols.”

Liu's voice paused before continuing.

"They are the two Sun Traveling Gods under the jurisdiction of Lord City God!"

Mr. Xue couldn't help but take another look at Mrs. Liu. It seemed that the county magistrate's wife was a rare and knowledgeable woman.

"Well said!"

Taoist Xue looked at Qiao'er to the side again.

"Miss Qiao'er, you said before that the ghost disappeared in the rain after it was knocked away, right?"

Qiao'er also relaxed a little now and nodded after hearing this.

"Exactly!"

"Um!"

Taoist Xue gently stroked his beard and thought carefully, combined with the many information during this period, then his expression flashed, he looked at Mrs. Liu, and then looked around at the Yamen servants.

"The previous nightmare was also about heavy rain. Blood dripped from the ghost's body, and his face looked hideous."

Based on many years of experience, coupled with his own inferences and guesses, especially after listening to Tu Tu Gong's narrative, Xue Daoren made a bold assumption.

"This evil ghost should have been hit by a sword and thrown into the water before she was alive. When she died, it was not because of the sword, but because of suffocation from drowning."

"Been thrown into the water after being stabbed?"

The head catcher on the side couldn't help but repeat this sentence. It seemed to be the case, and he thought about it out of instinct.

Taoist Xue also glanced at the catcher and nodded.

"Yes, it was thrown into the water and no one found it. Maybe it was a well."

This calm narration makes people shudder, perhaps even more than when Old Zheng talked about evil ghosts just now.

"This ghost is so powerful, Taoist Priest, is there anything you can do about it?"

Qiaoer couldn't help but speak. She was not only concerned about the young lady she had grown up with, but she was also concerned about her own safety.

"Oh, don't worry, I have my own countermeasures!"

Even if Daoren Xue is not completely confident, he must be confident in his words.

Then Taoist Xue told Old Zheng to have a good rest and asked everyone to disperse. The government officials kept talking in groups, some looked flustered, and some were slightly excited.

The catcher subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Liu who left with Qiaoer, and frowned.

When he saw Taoist Xue was also about to leave, the head catcher walked a few steps quickly, got close to the Taoist and spoke in a low voice.

"Taoist Master, please stay!"

Xue Daoren looked back at the catcher. He had expected it from the moment he saw the catcher's face.

Sure enough, the first sentence of the arrester confirmed some of the Taoist's guesses.

"Taoist Priest, you just said that you were hacked to death with a knife and pushed into a well. Zhong Mou heard the old saying that there is an old saying that every injustice has its owner. Even evil spirits have their causes. Madam is usually gentle and virtuous. How could she do this?"

Taoist Xue nodded slightly, the expression on his face was worth pondering.

"Mrs. Guan is naturally impossible, but it is by no means completely irrelevant. The life-seeking ghost is said to be a fierce ghost, but also a pitiful ghost. It was not a clear ghost until death. The paranoia in the last moment of life was the most crazy."

The Taoist left with a sigh. The catcher's footsteps slowed down a beat, and he frowned and looked at the other person's back for a long time before following him.

In the absence of the county magistrate, all affairs of the county government were decided by several other officials. However, they all stayed away when they heard that it was haunted. In the end, the county captain showed up and arranged the duties of the county government officials.

Although the county captain may not believe what the Taoist said, many people in the yamen were telling the truth, and after all, the wife of a county official was involved, and she was the daughter of the Liu family, so she had to be treated with caution.

Even if you are just pretending, you have to do it.

Normally, it is somewhat ridiculous for many government officials in the county government to follow a Taoist to arrange this and that.

But today is different. Many government officials are even very active, especially those who have seen Taoist skills from Old Zhengtou. Under their guidance, other government officials who have never seen him will not be so careless.

In the backyard garden, the county lieutenant shook his head and whispered as he watched several government servants and Taoist priests place a altar there to enshrine a small statue of the god.

"I'm afraid it's just a farce."

The catcher next to the county captain had been thinking about something. When he heard this, he looked at the county captain and couldn't help but ask.

"Master Lu, are you coming tonight too?"

The county captain smiled. He thought highly of Mr. Zhong, so he said a few words.

"You still have to come, not to catch ghosts, but to serve as an official! Well, you are allowed to go home early today and have a rest, so as not to be unable to get up in the middle of the night."

"Thank you, sir!"

"Well, go back quickly!"

The head catcher bowed, looked at some busy government officials, and then left.

There are two shifts tonight, one in the first half of the night, and one in the second half of the night. This group of people will go home early to rest.

But listening to what the man said, it is likely not just tonight, but will be like this for many days in the future.

The sun had just started to set when the arrester left the county office. In the past, he would have been patrolling the county at this time, but today he was going home.

However, the head catcher did not go directly to his home. Instead, he habitually followed the patrol route and walked around the county. Anyway, it didn't take long.

Some streets in the city are crowded with people, and some places are more deserted. With one hand holding his saber and the other swinging at his side, the catcher's eyes quickly saw the flow of people as usual, but he was also thinking about what happened in the Yamen before. .

Unknowingly, I passed by the inn where the case was investigated in the middle of the night. Because of the recent death, I don’t know how outsiders got the news. Maybe it was the cyclist and rickshaw driver who mentioned it. Anyway, the business was not as good as before. , I have been wanting to recover for a while.

But passing this inn, the catcher couldn't help but recall the situation that day and the murder case.

It's just that now the county government doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic about the murder case, mainly because the county magistrate doesn't seem to have any intention of investigating it anymore.

"Ouch."

A painful breath attracted the attention of the head catcher. He looked for the sound and saw an old white-haired man fell down in the alley in the distance. People around him walked past him and turned a blind eye.

The catcher frowned slightly. Although he was dressed in official attire and carried weapons that would awe ordinary people, he still stepped forward quickly and reached out to help the old man.

"Old man, are you okay?"

"Thank you, thank you, I'm fine."

After being helped up, the old man thanked him profusely, and then stared at the arrester for a closer look.

"You can be comfortable by clinging to power and being noble, but your righteousness cannot be released. If you do, you may die young."

"Um?"

The catcher frowned, somewhat suspecting that he had heard wrongly, but he saw the old man stretched out his hands, silently patted the catcher in front of him, then patted the dust on his body and prepared to leave.

"Old man, what did you just say?"

The catcher asked subconsciously, but the old man showed a little fear at this moment.

"Master Chai heard it wrong, I don't dare to do it anymore"

Seeing the old man's expression that he thought the public servant was looking for trouble, the catcher shook his head and said nothing. He watched the man leave, then looked at the inn over there, and then looked back in the direction of the county government office, which he could no longer see.

Why are there so many nagging people lately?
