Should the soul

On September 12rd, 23th year of Shun Kaiping, the Kalka Tavern in the Eastern Capital, the secret contact base of the Baishen Cult was uprooted, and three pieces of 190 books of the Baishen Cult were seized, and 42 core personnel were captured. Changsi was searched and suppressed, and relevant persons were detained pending trial.

The onlookers said that before and after the fire broke out in the liquor shop, the city defense yamen took the lead in surrounding him and did not let him go. Take it down, "Korka conspired with traitors, and concealed the cult priest of the White God, Hota Gugor...!"

Only later did people know that the bald-headed frequenter of Korka, who was embroidered with tattoos, was one of the four priests of the White God Sect. His followers also called him Hotasabao, and his full name was Hota Gugel. Taichang Temple has been paying attention to it for a long time, but it has not been time to pull it out. If it were not for the sudden fire accident today, they would not immediately squeeze out the boil.

But some people said that the reason why the Duke of the Kingdom came to lead the team today is because of another reason. Just after he entered the wine shop and had a cup of tea, all the people in the wine shop were under control. The man looked very young, but his head, face and body were covered, and he couldn't see anything clearly. The guards beside him originally intended to take over when they saw this, but the father-in-law dodged it perfunctorily, and quickly pointed at Chen Ying and Han. Mu and the others gave a few orders. Although they didn't see anything on their faces, several veins popped out on their hands, and then they led them into the carriage without delay.

The onlookers from a distance guessed about the man, some said he was the Duke's new favorite, some said he was an informant of the Baishen Cult, but no one could tell why, they just watched the carriage drive away blankly.

In this way, the heavy responsibility of mopping up and inspecting fell on the shoulders of Taichang Temple and the city defense yamen.

Han Mu came here in a hurry today to bring not many people. He was not responsible for the pursuit of Huota, but was searching for important evidence.

When he went deep into the ground, he was the first to see the magic circle. Based on his experience, he immediately saw that it could only be regarded as a hasty ambush. It is estimated that Kong Jie came too fast, and Huota was also in a hurry, but there were dozens of lines on the edge of the magic circle. The black traces with obvious scratches are like chiseled by knives, adzes and axes. It can be seen that although the magic circle is not fatal, how fierce the two people are in mutual suppression. It's not bad.

Several dark rooms on the third floor of the cellar were searched. Inside the rooms were statues of worshiped gods, assembly utensils, and several large mahogany boxes with silver lace trimmed around the edges, twisted into a typical garland shape, and the French inside. The utensils are colorful and confusing, but all the real things on paper have been burned, and there is no usable evidence left.

Han Mu looked around the dark room, his eyelids twitched, and suddenly saw a snow-white cloth that had been hastily left on the ground. There were still familiar spring grass runes on it. It was a longevity post. He glanced behind him and saw no one was paying attention. Into the sleeve.

In contrast, Han Mu's side is calm and steady, while Chen Ying's pursuit is much more dangerous.

The lines in this cellar are looped and the winding paths lead to secluded places. Chen Ying was good at catching thieves and it was smooth at first, but after the terrain rose all the way, he heard a faint sound of festive noise. In Shunfang, Chen Ying wondered which one was the one to welcome the relatives, and continued to search following the speckled bloodstains. After opening a door, it turned out that there was a big wedding scene inside: seven long tables and seats, dazzling colors, full of guests, The guests of the Qing Dynasty gathered around the table to drink and make guesses, but the performers only poured lightly and sang in a low voice, without the sound of gongs and drums.

Chen Ying's subordinates stepped forward to ask if they saw a bald-headed black-clothed Hu monk intruding, but all the guests suddenly surrounded him enthusiastically, hugged Deputy Commander Chen Ying and the guards, and said they wanted to play chess and chat with them, and waited. At the auspicious time, the guards were stunned by the incident, and they were forcibly pushed to the table while sternly refusing. At this moment, a female voice came over, and everyone looked back, only to see the woman in a green dress, Fengguanxiapei is the bride.

Chen Ying was stunned on the spot, her entire body stiffened in disbelief.

All he saw was the girl's delicate color, full and smooth forehead, a pair of big cat-like eyes, the corners of the eyes were slightly downward, and her smile was like a crescent moon.She raised her glass, walked up to Chen Ying, and asked with a smile, "What are you doing? Are you so happy? My brother and sister-in-law agreed to our marriage!"

The people in the city defense yamen only thought that the woman looked familiar, but they couldn't figure out who it was. Although the scene in front of them was weird, but they couldn't bear to disturb them, so they let the officer take the wine glass, touched the girl with the glass, and exchanged words. Cup to drink.

But at this moment, another shout came from outside the crowd, it was also a woman!

She ran here covered in blood and her hair was disheveled. She was well dressed, but her stomach was sticking out clumsily. The people in the yamen shouted: "You guys are so stupid! Don't eat things from the underworld!"

As he spoke, he slammed the big gong in his hand, "Dang!", everyone's hearts were shocked, and when they turned their heads, where are there any guests around?Where is there a banquet?And the clanking sound just now was the copper roar standing in the tunnel.

These people from Gongmen can be considered to be experienced in many battles, but they just chatted and chatted, and they all have memories. They are not just a person's hysteria. Hearing this, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately invited all the guards out together with the deputy commander, saying that he would arrest them after the people from Taichang Temple exorcised the ghosts and reassured them, Huota couldn't be in a hurry to kill him.

But before he finished tidying up the cellar, another urgent message came from Duke Cheng's mansion, saying that the Duke was calling urgently.

It was the first time that Han Mu encountered such a sweet pastry as Taichang Temple, so he hurriedly explained that he was here and hurried to Beicheng.

Cheng Guogong's South Courtyard.

Kong Jie was lying on Zhou Yin's couch, his face was flushed with fever, his forehead was hot, and he was about to scatter flowers.

The Duke’s Mansion originally had a master doctor on standby at all times. As soon as Zhou Yin came back, the doctor prescribed medicine to reduce fever and poured a bowl of medicine for Kong Jie, but the fever did not go away for an entire hour, and Kong Jie started to burn Talking nonsense, what kind of clothes and shoes should I wear if I am dead or alive, I have changed several accents and voices in just a cup of tea, there are men, women and children, and my body seems to be overwhelmed. Eight people, Zhou Yin knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it, so he immediately asked the imperial physician to go out and call someone to call Han Mu over.

For the first time, the serving servants filled the whole room, and some of them standing in the corners changed their faces when they heard that: that person is not the Sage of Xinglin, so it is self-evident to ask him to heal something when he comes here at this time.

Fortunately, Han Mu didn't usually practice well, but at the critical moment, he suppressed the situation. He asked everyone to disperse so as not to disturb him. , Kong Jie struggled violently in a coma, as if he was in great pain, Zhou Yin immediately pressed his shoulders when he saw this, and whispered in his ear: "It's okay, I'll guard you, what are you doing?" I can't make it through either."

The soul in the body seemed to have recognized his voice, and the consciousness relaxed instantly, no longer struggling, and let the calming smell soothe itself, after a long time, the breathing of the person on the couch finally became deeper and deeper, The terrifying high fever on his face also slowly faded away, and he fell into a deep sleep with a small snoring sound.

At this moment, Zhou Yin finally recovered his breath, and sat on the stool dazedly, his back wet with sweat.

Han Mu couldn't stay for a long time, there was something outside for him to go back to take care of, he put away his utensils, and called out in a low voice, "Duke Guo", a little embarrassed, Zhou Yin came to his senses, pressed his hands and signaled to go out and say , leaned over and quietly helped Kong Jie pull up the quilt, after thinking for a while, he held his right hand very naturally, and brought the ginger bead string on his wrist to his hand - that's His Majesty and Empress Afraid that the Duke would kill too many eyes of the Buddha who had been invited for him, Han Mu could clearly see the invisible movements, and his throat suddenly felt dry.

Outside the house, Han Mu personally handed over some other items such as calming the mind and calming the soul, plus a silk note, and the Duke asked in a suppressed voice, "What's going on with him?"

Han Mu: "The magic circle has been trapped for too long, and the mind has been severely injured. Now that the situation has stabilized, this calamity is over. Don't worry, my lord."

The Duke's eyes were red, he cleared his throat, and then squeezed his own throat before continuing: "I just heard a lot of people in his body talking... Is it all right?"

Han Mu smiled wryly, knowing that the father-in-law seemed to have stumbled into a world completely different from what he had known in the past 29 years. In this huge and unfamiliar field, no matter how calm a person was, no matter how much preparation he had, Once they meet, they still can't escape the fear and panic of mortals.

Han Mu pursed his lips, and patiently explained: "Grandpa, this kind of situation doesn't happen often. He got involved in these things today because he was weak and bumped into an open yin and yang gate, so he was taken advantage of by others." enter."

Immediately afterwards, Han Mu explained what the "Yin-Yang Gate" was and what happened where people couldn't see it in words that could be understood as much as possible.

"The human world and the underworld are not completely distinct, and some places will also stick together. Once a powerful force appears in an inaccessible place or a small and closed dark space, it will fall into distortion and open another door. This door is huge. It can be small, the small one can be a yin and yang pen used by a bad judge, the specification is controllable, and it can be opened anywhere, and the big one is like the Nanshan Lake where Kong Jie put 45 innocent souls into the bottle. When a powerful force appears, the gate of Yin and Yang will be forced to open. Today, the gate of Yin and Yang will be opened in the cellar. It is purely because of the fighting between Huota and Kong Jie that the original magic circle was torn apart. The nearby ghosts ran out along the door, watching Kong Jie. Jay's weakness is attached to him, which is why it looks so scary."

Han Mu pretended to be relaxed and comforted the Duke, and after finishing speaking, he looked serious again and talked about what Chen Ying and his party had seen and heard when they arrested people today.

After the Duke heard about it, his eyes gradually turned serious, and he asked, "Are these ghosts controlled by the White God Sect?"

Han Mu quickly shook his head: "No, no, my lord, you are too worried. These ghosts just ran out of the door when they were idle. They may not have malicious intentions, but they just see through people's wishes and like to play tricks on people."

The Duke grasped another important point: "What will happen if you eat the food from the underworld?"

Han Mu was stunned, thought for a while, and said truthfully: "Of course, ghosts will not suffer if they eat food from the underworld, but living people who eat food from the underworld will never come back."

Ghosts are dead, and they are not afraid of death, but their harmless actions are nothing less than disasters to mortals.

Zhou Yin fell into silence since then, his eyes were deep and deep, and he didn't know where they fell.

It was rare for Han Mu to see the Duke let go of his guard, so he couldn't help turning his head to glance at the closed door, lowered his voice, and asked the last sentence in a low voice: "Grand Duke, is the one in the room... really not King Anping?"

Zhou Yin just waved his hands a little tiredly when he heard the words, and because of his hoarse voice, he answered seriously and thoughtfully: "Don't talk nonsense, he is not."
