From Jiu Shu's world

After Huai Bailiu finished everything, he turned to Henry Zhang and said, "Put on a Taoist robe and go to the Liu family's rituals with me."

Huai Bailiu's thinking is not bad. The best way to protect Liu Jingya is to be a Taoist priest who performs rituals. This ritual takes a few days, enough for two people to pull out the people behind, no matter how bad it is. Find enough clues.

At dawn, the Liu family came to transport the coffin. Huai Bailiu and Henry Zhang followed the team to Liu's house in Taoist robes.At this time, Liu Jingxuan, the Second Miss of the Liu Family, has been cleaned up by a few courageous girls. She has put on her favorite clothes and has a delicate mask on her face. Still take that bright and moving pearl, no one knows that there will be a horrible skinless corpse under this mask.

Henry Zhang stood aside, watching everyone put her in the coffin, suddenly there was a burst of strange fragrance, the smell was a bit strange, it didn’t seem to be the fragrance of sandalwood or other plants, Henry Zhang stopped one of the maids and asked: "The little girl asked My question is, what kind of fragrance is this?"

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl turned her head and saw that it was Henry Zhang, the Taoist priest who was going to do things for the lady, and said with some respect: "Return to the Taoist priest, this is the lady's favorite incense during her lifetime. I don't know what kind of fragrance it is?"

Henry Zhang couldn’t ask the name of the incense, he was a little disappointed, but he didn’t take it to heart, he was just curious for a while.

At this time, Zhang Jingxuan had already been buried, and Huai Bailiu began to recite the scriptures on saving the dead. Relatives offered incense and burned paper money, and the mourning hall was full of cries.

But at this time, Liu Zhengyang quietly came to Henry Zhang, and whispered: "Mr. Zhang, please follow me."

Chapter 1 Eighteen

Liu Zhengyang called Henry Zhang to a place where there was no one else, and he suddenly knelt down and said, "Mr. Zhang, save the little girl."

Henry Zhang quickly helped him up, and asked, "Master Liu, what do you mean?"

Liu Zhengyang was helped up, his eyes were red, he said: "I have lost Jingxuan, I can't lose Jingya anymore. If it wasn't because Jingya was proposed yesterday, and she and her mother went to her room to sleep and talk at night, Jingya would have lost her." I can't escape this encounter, but the murderer behind the scenes will never let her go."

Henry Zhang heard the key point and asked: "Did their sisters all sleep together?"

Liu Zhengyang sighed and said, "The two of them have had a good relationship since they were young, and they like to stay together. Although they each have their own rooms, they still like to sleep together."

Henry Zhang and Huai Bailiu originally thought that the behind-the-scenes evil cultivator would not let Liu Jingya go. Now that they heard it, the five points may have become nine points. It seems that waiting for the rabbit will definitely pay off.

Henry Zhangdao: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, with me and senior Huai Bailiu here, I can keep the eldest lady safe."

Zhang Xuan was afraid that Liu Zhengyang would not believe it, so he moved out Huai Bailiu and put it together, but he didn't know that Liu Zhengyang, as a local rich man, was somewhat familiar with Huai Bailiu, so he was wrong about Huai Bailiu's failure to arrest people. Know a thing or two.

Therefore, under the hint of Huai Bailiu, he will be regarded as Henry Zhang's savior. What he believes is Huai Bailiu's vision and Henry Zhang's strength.

The two returned to the mourning hall and continued the ritual of the ritual. There were many visitors, people came and went, and they offered incense and worship, whether real or fake, and then the family members returned the ceremony. This ceremony lasted until night.

Henry Zhang didn’t care much about this ceremony, not only he, but also Huai Bailiu had a similar attitude. The so-called ceremony was just for the living to see.how you said that?Because there is no soul of Liu Jingxuan above this mourning hall.

Henry Zhang knew in his heart that the absence of Liu Jingxuan's soul was either because he died elsewhere and could not find his way back.Or the soul flies away and is no longer in this world.Other than that, there was only one reason left, the soul was detained.

Henry Zhang didn't know what was going on, so he simply carried a white spirit-calling flag, and then asked Liu Jingya to hold the clothes Liu Jingxuan had worn before his death, and started calling out souls in front of the mourning hall.

The method of summoning souls is widely circulated among the people here, and most of them are for relatives who died abroad to return home safely, and to guide ghosts who have forgotten their way back home.

If there is a corpse, call back the soul to go to the corpse, so that it can be buried alive.Those who die without a body will use straw to fold into a human form, put on a piece of clothing worn in the past, act as a corpse, and then summon the soul.

This Liu Jingxuan didn't know where her dead soul was, so Henry Zhang planned to use the method of summoning the soul to find out.I saw Henry Zhang wearing a Taoist robe, holding a soul-calling banner in one hand, and ringing the Sanqing bell in his hand with the other. When the bell rang, he first faced the north and chanted a mantra: "The soul is back, the dead soul is at peace."

Every time Henry Zhang read, Liu Jingya cried and shouted: "Sister, you go home quickly, my sister is waiting for you, and my parents are waiting for you."

Liu Jingya cried very sadly, and the people around were mourning for it, but Henry Zhang looked at the soul-calling flag and it didn't move, and no dead souls were attracted.

He changed the direction, continued to ring the Sanqing bell, and continued to chant the incantation for summoning souls. Liu Jingya also cried out her sister's name to let her come back.After changing three directions in a row, there was no response, and at the fourth direction, an evil wind blew the soul-calling flag, blowing the candlelight of the mourning hall into darkness.

Not only were Liu Jingya and Liu Zhengyang not afraid, they asked with joy on their faces, "Is my sister back?"

Henry Zhang and Huai Bailiu looked serious, and this thing that came was not Liu Jingxuan.Henry Zhangdao: "Senior Huai, watch them, something is coming."

After Henry Zhang finished speaking, this unknown black shadow flew straight to Liu Jingya.Henry Zhang stood in front of her, with a black bone dagger in his hand, swiped upwards, and with a swipe, the black shadow was divided into two by Henry Zhangyi's dagger, and green blood splashed on the mourning hall.

Henry Zhang looked down and saw that this thing was as black as ink and looked like a praying mantis, but it was even uglier. Its triangular head was full of bulges, and its compound eyes were triangular. The forelimbs are extremely sharp.And at the root of this forelimb, this ghost-headed mantis actually had dozens of half-meter-long tentacles, which were still dancing on the ground, not dead but stiff.

Henry Zhang still wanted to take a closer look, but Huai Bailiu shouted anxiously: "Be careful, the thing that hurt me is not this size."

As soon as the voice fell, the wind came from behind, and something was about to kill Henry Zhang from behind when he saw the right time.This attack came quickly, but Henry Zhang broke through the perception of the Yang God, which is much more powerful than the Yin God.Knowing that there was something coming from behind, he summoned the Golden Bone Flying Centipede alone and collided with the flying thing without looking back.

What came was a half-human tall ghost-headed mantis. It was not small in size, but it was about the same size as Henry Zhang's golden bone flying centipede.

The sensitivity of the ghost-headed mantis killer is still terrifying. After a pause, his forelimbs are like knives, and two black lights are brushing, directly slashing at the golden bone flying centipede. Dozens of pitch-black tentacles are like needles and threads come over.

The ghost-headed mantis shot swiftly, but Henry Zhang's golden-bone flying centipede was much faster than it. He flew back to avoid the slash, hovered in the air, and the bone spurs in his mouth and even his back swished out, with a heavy rainstorm The appearance of pear blossom needles.

The sound of ding ding ding rang continuously, and the sharp claws on the forelimbs of the ghost-headed mantis were like a door leaf to block the bone spurs, but cracks had already appeared in the carapace, and dozens of tentacles were broken due to waving to block the bone spurs.

This is not over yet, just when the ghost-headed mantis was relaxing, the golden-bone flying centipede swooped down and aimed at the wings with a pincer. The pincers were really powerful, like indestructible scissors, and the wings of the ghost-headed mantis were crushed. It cut off the tentacles that came to block it, and dropped the ghost-headed mantis pliers to the ground.

Henry Zhang had quick eyes and quick hands, and the ice net made of flying wing ice silk was drawn out, and the ghost-headed praying mantis, which was half a man tall and the size of a calf, was caught at once, and no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't escape.

Henry Zhang took back the Golden Bone Flying Centipede, then tightened the ice net to stimulate its power of ice, and the frost spread on the ghost-headed mantis, freezing the ghost-headed mantis, and the momentum of the struggle suddenly weakened.

Henry Zhang asked: "Senior Huai, did this thing hurt you?"

Huai Bailiu said: "I don't know either, but judging by the speed and size, it should be fine."

Huai Bailiu was injured when he was chasing the person behind the scenes when something rushed out of the dark alley, and he couldn't dodge in time, so he really didn't see what it was.

At this time, the panic-stricken Liu family approached cautiously, and boldly asked, "Daozhang Zhang, this...what is this?"

Henry Zhangdao: "It should be the Gu worms raised by the people behind the scenes. Those women who were victimized were probably taken away by these things."

Henry Zhang looked at the messy mourning hall. In fact, it was not just these two who came just now. It should be a large group of small ones attacking together, but this big one thought he seized the opportunity to attack and came, and was captured in an instant. The other small ones secretly retreated.Now that Henry Zhang wants to chase, he may not be able to catch up. You must know that the feeding of Gu worms may not necessarily be kept by your side, and it is possible to hide in the green forests and mountains.

Henry Zhangdao: "Master Liu, you ask someone to clean up the mourning hall, and then go to rest first. The people behind this scene suffered a loss, and dare not come again for a short time. Let me look for him for a few days, and then take good care of him."

Although Liu Zhengyang was afraid, seeing Henry Zhang easily take down the praying mantis monster, his trust in him was already extremely high, so he agreed, and retreated to the Houfu with his wife and daughter.

Henry Zhang and Huai Bailiu looked at each other. Although the guy behind the scene came to arrest Miss Liu the next day, he was extremely cautious. He even sent only raised animals over. How should he find clues now? ?

Does it depend on that ghost-headed praying mantis?

Chapter 1 Nineteen Two Cobblers

On the second day after packing up, the ceremony was still going on. For practitioners, this ceremony has no dead souls and no rebirth, so naturally it has little meaning.But for the living, even if this ritual is just a simple ceremony, it is also a kind of remembrance of the dead and comfort to themselves.

There was still an endless stream of visiting guests, with a bit of solemnity, they burned incense, bowed, and expressed condolences to the family members.Huai Bailiu, who presides over the ritual, doesn't have to stay in the mourning hall all the time, and occasionally has a rest.

At the moment, I am resting with Henry Zhang in a house in the Houfu. This room was specially arranged by Liu Zhengyang for Huai Bailiu. Henry Zhang came here to see if he could get any clues from Huai Bailiu’s mouth. You must know that Huai Bailiu is very famous A local snake in Shangqinglin Town.

Huai Bailiu ate the pastry, took a sip of tea, and then sighed: "You Maoshan really has a lot of talents. You have cultivated to the point of refining gods at a young age, which is much smoother than those of us in the world."

The two fought side by side last night, so they got acquainted with each other. Huai Bailiu was not able to worship under the famous family because of his aptitude. for.

However, this person could see it openly. After sighing, he swallowed a peanut and laughed again: "However, with your cultivation speed, I'm afraid that the four-eyed guy will be inferior to you. Hahaha , it seems that there will be something to say next time."

Henry Zhang smiled slightly when he saw this, and said modestly: "It's just a coincidence. But Senior Huai, what do you think about the matter of skinning and tearing apart?"

Huai Bailiu paused and asked, "What do you think?"
