I'm dead again [quick time travel]

The conversation ended here, and Li Chenzhou could feel that Qiao Jiu was in a bad mood, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

He walked slowly behind Qiao Jiu, walking through the alley.

The sun was blocked by dark clouds, and there was some shade on the ground. People who had been shutting their doors opened one after another, and the quiet alley suddenly became lively. Seeing Qiao Jiu, they greeted him enthusiastically, and occasionally A child playing would bump into the two of them, and the chill on Qiao Jiu's body seemed to have failed. Not only were they not afraid, they hugged Qiao Jiu's legs and climbed onto Qiao Jiu's body.

Qiao Jiu still had no expression on his face, but his movements were much lighter.

He was very close to him, his eyes were still calm, but it seemed that the sun had shot in, reflecting sparkling light.

Qiao Jiu put the children on the ground and gave them a handful of candy. Li Chenzhou was used to Qiao Jiu taking out some things from time to time. He looked at Qiao Jiu and felt his heart beating even harder.

Qiao Jiu seemed to have noticed his gaze, and suddenly looked at him, Li Chenzhou was caught straight, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that he looked up at the sky, as if there was no silver 300 taels in this place: "It's about to rain Alright."

Qiao Jiu raised his head, the dark clouds were pressed down very low, and the cool wind was blowing again and again, which was indeed a sign of rain.

The people in the alley for two weeks still had smiles on their faces, as if they hadn't noticed the situation.

Qiao Jiu murmured: "No."

Li Chenzhou turned his head to look at him, behind him was an alley, and behind him was a large swath of dark clouds, as if ink had been accidentally spilled on it, very dense.

The boy in black clothes and black pants seemed to be blending into it in the next second.

Li Chenzhou suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.

Qiao Jiu: "Huh?"

Li Chenzhou was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses: "I'm sorry."

But he didn't intend to let go.

Qiao Jiu shook his head, indicating that it was okay, and then pulled his hand out.

Li Chenzhou was speechless for a moment.

"The person you want to arrest is in Huaizhou?" Qiao Jiu asked suddenly.

Li Chenzhou nodded without looking at Qiao Jiu.

Qiao Jiu: "Huh?"

Li Chenzhou nodded: "Yes."

"A scar on your leg?"

"Yes, the traces are very deep."

"Okay." Qiao Jiu glanced at him, turned and left.

Li Chenzhou looked at his back, remembering Qiao Jiu's expression just now, a little unsure if he saw something.

Suddenly there was rumbling thunder, dark clouds billowed in the sky, those women were still sitting at the door talking, children were still chasing and playing, they were right in front of his eyes, but for a moment, Li Chenzhou felt that everything around him was so unreal .

Qiao Jiu hurriedly walked towards the ancestral hall.

The members of the Jiang clan have always been in Huaizhou, playing the role of suppression and salvation.

Qiao Jiu heard from his master before that although Huaizhou is full of ghosts, most of the Jiang clan live long. The premise is that they must stay in Huaizhou. It was very detailed, Qiao Jiu can recall now, but not much can be deduced.

For them, the outside world is dangerous. Only in Huaizhou can they live in safety, but this is not an easy thing. As long as a person reaches a certain age, he will want to go out and have a look , break through, let alone Huaizhou has not completely cut off contact with the outside world.

I don't know how many teenagers and girls want to see the outside world every year. Even the old man has gone out, hasn't he?

Qiao Jiu thought carefully about what the old man said just now, and then thought of the extra coffin, his heart sank.

The coffins in Huaizhou are specially made, and there are as many coffins as there are corpses. This kind of thing shouldn't happen, but in fact, it happened.

Qiao Jiu remembered the old man's expression when he said these words, and felt that what the old man said didn't mean that young people wanted to go out and have a look.

Something happened in Huaizhou, Qiao Jiu came to this conclusion almost instantly.

He originally wanted to tell Li Chenzhou about this, but now it seems that Li Chenzhou is not very credible.

Tang Qing may not be credible either.

But the old man obviously didn't intend to say more just now, so it's useless to ask again.

Only on your own.

There was a sudden slight vibration on the ground, which was not obvious, but Qiao Jiu felt it immediately. He looked along the source, in the ancestral hall!

The ancestral hall was still far away. When Qiao Jiu arrived, there were already many people standing inside, all of them bowed their heads and couldn't lift their spirits, with unconcealable sadness on their faces.

A young man with red eyes glanced at Qiao Jiu outside the door, then turned around and knelt down with a plop.

What he kneeled was a group of old men.

"I was wrong," he said, "I'm never going out again..."

After saying this, the people behind him knelt down one after another, and in a blink of an eye, they knelt down half of the ancestral hall.

"Oh," the old man at the front sighed, "Get up..."

He looked at Qiao Jiu: "You are here."

Qiao Jiu nodded to him: "Patriarch."

The patriarch didn't look at him anymore, but looked back at the people kneeling in front of him. These people were all grown up by him, and they were the kindling of their Jiang family, and they were the hope of their Jiang family in the future.

He said: "This has nothing to do with you..."

For a while, there was a lot of sobbing in the ancestral hall.

Qiao Jiu glanced across the crowd, inch by inch, and he always felt that something was wrong.

"Hello!" Suddenly there was a voice behind him, Qiao Jiu turned around, and saw Tang Qing leaning on a pillar not far away and looking at him, Tang Qing still had a smile on his face, and looked into the ancestral hall: "What are they doing? "

Qiao Jiu hadn't seen Tang Qing for three days, he frowned: "When did you come here?"

"Just now," Tang Qing said, "I was about to come over to find you, and this happened. Was it an earthquake just now?"

Qiao Jiu stared at his face and let out an oh.

Tang Qing: "What happened?"

Seeing that Qiao Jiu hadn't spoken for a long time, he said again: "I've heard the master talk about Huaizhou before. He always makes as many coffins as there are dead people. He has never made any mistakes. What's wrong this time?"

There was a nasty smile on his face: "Isn't it, the family is about to be exterminated..."

"Shut up." Qiao Jiu interrupted his words, his tone was light but uncompromising.

The smile on Tang Qing's face faded.

He looked at Qiao Jiu and said seriously, "Maybe it's true?"

He said: "Huaizhou has been passed down for so many years, and countless souls have been buried by them, but none of their clansmen have been buried in this land. Why? Because they are afraid of retaliation—"

"It's not a wronged soul," Qiao Jiu said, "Even if it is a wronged soul, it has nothing to do with them."

"How do you know?" Tang Qing approached Qiao Jiu: "Do you know they are not wronged souls? Do you know how they died? Do you know what kind of people they were when they were alive?"

"I don't need to know."

"Yes, you don't need to know, you will always be like this, selfish, you deserve to be alone forever!" Tang Qing stared at Qiao Jiu, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water without fluctuations, Tang Qingyu said angrily: "You kind People, don’t you have a heart?!”

Gu Fang who just walked in: "..." What happened? ? ?

Qiao Jiu took a step back: "You are too excited."

Tang Qing lowered his head: "...Yes, I'm so excited."

Gu Fang: "..."

The atmosphere was very awkward for a while, until Li Chenzhou walked in: "What's wrong?"

Gu Fang: ":)" Even more embarrassing.

Qiao Jiu shook his head and glanced at several people: "Go back."

Tang Qing: "What about you?"

"I'll just stay here."

"Go back first," Tang Qing said, "Go back and have a good rest, otherwise what will you do tomorrow?"

"No need." Qiao Jiu's attitude was very tough.

Tang Qing glanced at Qiao Jiu inexplicably: "Okay."

Gu Fang also glanced at Li Chenzhou.

Li Chenzhou looked confused: "..."

The people in the ancestral hall came out one after another, seeing Tang Qing's expression became even uglier, obviously they had heard what they said just now.

Tang Qing didn't care, and looked at them with a smile.

Qiao Jiu thought of Tang Qing in the past, whether it was the master of the temple, or the elders and disciples of Qingfeng Temple, including his own master, they all spoke highly of him, but he always looked like a lack of IQ in front of him. As for myself, I overlooked many things.

I feel that he has changed a lot, but maybe he is just such a person.

It's just that I haven't discovered it yet.

This night, Qiao Jiu even rushed back to Li Chenzhou. It was an ordinary night, but Qiao Jiu's eyelids twitched violently.

A few nights ago, the moon was white and the wind was clear. Today is different, with dark clouds and thunder. Qiao Jiu sat in the ancestral hall, staring at the sky outside. The cold wind came in from the open door, blowing the The scrolls and the coffin were also blown uncontrollably.

Suddenly there was a flash of lightning, and the whole sky suddenly became bright.

If Qiao Jiu felt something, he turned his head quickly. There was a window there. The window was made of paper, and the wind was blowing on it. Qiao Jiu got up and walked over there.

The night was still very quiet, except for the sound of wind and thunder, Qiao Jiu could only hear his own footsteps.

The night was dark, and he couldn't see everything clearly. Qiao Jiu walked towards the window step by step.

The thunder roared louder, and Qiao Jiu quietly looked at the window in front of him.

There was the sound of rain, and the paper pasted on the window in front of him was suddenly pierced, and then, an eye appeared outside!

The eyes were wide open, the pupils were red, and the eyes were full of violence and strangeness. Qiao Jiu stared at those eyes. I don't know how long it took, but it seemed that only a few seconds passed, and the eyes still didn't blink. Looking at Qiao Jiu, his eyeballs protruded, and he could even see bloodshot eyes clearly intertwined in his eye sockets.

Qiao Jiu's back went numb.

He froze for a few seconds, before the person in front of him could react, he raised his hand and threw a spell over.

With a sound of "啪——", the man took a few steps back, Qiao Jiu turned a corner, and ran out from the door. When he went out, he saw that the man had climbed up the wall and threw a few spells in succession Going out, the man didn't wear shoes, Qiao Jiu's spell blew up his pants, and there was another flash of lightning, Qiao Jiu saw the scar on his leg in the white light.

Qiao Jiu stood in the rain, his whole body was drenched.

He looked at the direction in which the man was going, then at the coffins in the ancestral hall, and stopped.

Footsteps sounded at the door, Qiao Jiu turned around and saw Li Chenzhou outside the door.

He was still dripping with water, and his breath was a little short: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay," Qiao Jiu said, "I just saw someone."

"Who?"

"The murderer you are looking for."

A blast of thunder sounded, and at the same time, another flash of lightning struck. Qiao Jiu stared at Li Chenzhou, and heard the surprised voice of Gu Fang who had just arrived: "Did you read it wrong? He is already dead!"
