Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Naturally, it was still early when Zhong Patou returned home. His wife and children were peeling broad beans together in the courtyard. His son, with his bright ears, heard footsteps and raised his head, just in time to see his father coming to the courtyard gate.

"Mom, dad is back, dad is back, dad, why are you back so early today?"

The son put down the broad beans in his hand, rushed towards Mr. Zhong, hugged his father, and touched his saber.

"Oh, I can't let you play with this!"

Zhong Captou skillfully stood in front of the knife, and then scratched his son's creaking nest. The latter chuckled and was defeated by his father's "high-strength martial arts".

Seeing the father and son playing around, the wife over there laughed. But when Mr. Zhong came over, she also asked a question in confusion.

"Ms. sir, why did you come back so early today? The sun is still high?"

At this moment, Zhong Captou had taken off the saber from his waist, walked to the living room and put it on the knife holder. He easily avoided his son's "sneak attack" from behind, picked it up and raised it above his head, and at the same time answered his wife's words.

"Oh, the county government has something to do. I have to be on duty in the middle of the night, so I go home early to rest."

The wife suddenly frowned and asked with concern.

"It's midnight again? What's going on?"

"Hey, you are a woman, why are you asking so many questions? Many brothers from the yamen live and eat in the county yamen. I am much more comfortable than them."

His wife was peeling broad beans a little absent-mindedly, and Captain Zhong was playing with his son in the living room. Although his son was young, he clamored to practice martial arts, but his body was still immature, so he mainly played around.

"Hey, let me cook early. Why is there so much going on in our county recently? Maybe I have to go to the temple to pray for you!"

After hearing this, Mr. Zhong remembered that because he was quite busy on weekdays, his wife took care of all the trivial matters at home, including worshiping ancestors and praying for blessings. Perhaps she would have a better understanding of some ghosts and gods.

The main reason is that some thoughts in Zhong's mind are lingering and he urgently needs to communicate with others.

"Madam, let me ask you something. You said that people turn into ghosts after death. Do you remember clearly what happened during your lifetime?"

Hearing such a child's question, the woman who picked up the bamboo braid also laughed.

"Of course we remember it, otherwise how can our deceased relatives and elders protect us? How do we know who is offering sacrifices and who is burning paper?"

"Too."

Zhong Captou nodded and added another sentence.

"Then tell me, those ghosts who died unjustly, do they remember the incident? Can they understand who killed them?"

The woman rolled her eyes at the man.

"Are you crazy about investigating the case? Your scary kid is still here!"

"Mom, I'm not afraid of ghosts!"

"What do you know!"

The woman carried the broad beans into the kitchen, and then went to the vat to scoop out water to wash the rice. After cleaning it up, she was going to put the rice and broad beans into the pot together, and the rice washing water was filled up.

Because of the special job of catching a head, I often keep some rice water at home, but I don’t need too much. I just keep a little of the rice water for cooking every day, and just change it the next day, which can wash away some of the special smell.

Over there, Mr. Zhong also walked into the kitchen and lit a fire in front of the stove, still talking about what happened just now.

"I was just asking."

The woman put on the steaming rack and a bowl of bacon, and replied angrily.

"Haven't you heard people call stupid ghosts and hang them? There are so many kinds of ghosts. Of course there are some who understand and some who are confused, but you must remember things. Don't say this, it sounds scary!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say it any more."

"Daddy, I'll light the fire, I'll light the fire!"

The child started to make trouble again, so Captain Zhong had no choice but to light the fire with him.

They rested peacefully at home until midnight. At about the same time, Zhong Captou woke up immediately. In fact, he didn't sleep much in the middle of the night.

He got up gently without waking his wife and children, then finished dressing and went out.

It's still very dark tonight, and it's hard to see the stars and moon in the sky. You can still see some sunshine in the afternoon, but it will be gloomy again, and it might rain in the middle of the night.

Recalling what Taoist Xue said during the day, Zhong Baotou couldn't help but feel a little tight in his heart. Doesn't the devil prefer to come out in rainy days?

When Zhong Patou arrived at the county government office, the watchman had just passed by knocking the bang outside. The time had just reached midnight, and the person on duty in the county government office had just changed his shift.

"Hey, you're finally here, Captain." "I'm so sleepy."

"I'm not sleepy, just a little scared."

"Hahaha, coward!"

The yamen servants on and off duty talked and joked with each other, which not only refreshed but also emboldened them. Then Mr. Zhong began to patrol the yamen with his people as usual.

Everything was arranged during the day, but the county government office seemed to be particularly cold tonight, so much so that the government officials following him shivered from time to time.

There was no one outside in Mrs. Liu's yard tonight. Even Taoist Xue didn't seem to be there. Mrs. Liu and Qiao'er were both in the house, even lying on the same bed, but obviously no one dared to sleep.

"Qiao'er, thank you for accompanying me. Do you think that ghost will come?" "Madam, please don't mention that word, I'm afraid."

Qiaoer couldn't help but hugged the woman next to him.

Zhong Captou walked to the outside of the courtyard of Liu's house and walked into a room over there. As soon as he entered, he felt much warmer. In addition to Taoist Xue and some colleagues, he felt inside.

When the catcher came in with his patrolling brothers, the people inside shouted a few words in a low voice, but the catcher went straight to Xue Daoren, who was sitting there with his eyes closed and concentrating.

"Director, everything is normal in the county government. You should be fine tonight?"

Daoren Xue opened his eyes and looked at the catcher.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say. As the saying goes, things can only come in threes. Although this is not always the case, the evil ghost will definitely be more powerful when he appears for the third time. This thing is very evil."

In Xue Taoist's heart, he knew that this evil ghost was not simple, but he still did not make preparations based on directly getting rid of the ghost.

"Taoist Master, Zhong, I dare to ask, do you want to get rid of the evil ghost directly? Can you catch him and ask questions?"

Xue Daoren looked at the catcher with a little surprise. He had thought that some righteous people in the yamen would help, but he hadn't given any more guidance. He didn't expect the catcher to say such a thing himself, so he said the opposite. .

"Asking about something? Hey, Mr. Zhong, there are many official principles for mortals, but ghosts who have been wronged will not care about these. Some things are buried with the earth after people die, and once and for all, that's why there is a saying of killing and silencing. I really want to ask. I'm afraid it won't be good for everyone if you come up with something."

Kill and silence, these four words are also the four words that Mr. Zhong cares about the most. It is not that he has not handled some important cases in recent years, but they have often been left unanswered.

Although it is just a small county town, the special environment of Haiyu County has led to its development and many dirty things.

There are some things that make Patou Zhong always angry. In the ordinary sense, people who are cold-faced and warm-hearted are actually people like Patou Zhong.

Just as the white-haired old man said during the day, it is difficult to relax the righteousness in the chest, but in the face of Daoren Xue's words at this moment, Zhong Patou still chose to remain silent and did not interfere.

Time passed little by little, maybe half an hour, maybe an hour later, some people had already dozed off, and many people also relaxed.

"Rumble"

There was faint thunder in the sky again, and the entire Beihai County was shrouded in rain clouds, and Haiyu County was no exception.

"It is going to rain."

A yamen servant in the house said this, as if to confirm his words, and soon the sound of rain could be heard outside, and everyone became nervous at this moment.

Amidst the sound of rain, Mrs. Liu seemed to be able to hear a special dripping sound in the house. The sound became more and more obvious, so much so that it overwhelmed the sound of rain.

"It's all you, it's all you."

Liu was horrified to find that she couldn't move.

"Qiaoer, Qiaoer——"

Mrs. Liu shouted, but the people sleeping on the bed showed no reaction. Ms. Liu even felt that the bed was wet.

"It's all you"

The voice seemed to be beside him, and Mrs. Liu felt that the person in front of her seemed very cold. At this time, the person who was sharing the quilt slowly turned around, revealing a terrifying face with bleeding from all its orifices.

"ah--"

Ms. Liu screamed, but her screams suddenly stopped as her neck was strangled by a ghost.

At this time, the real Qiaoer suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Madam, madam? Why are you shaking?"

Qiaoer reached out to touch Ms. Liu, only to find that the other person was not only shaking, but also becoming cold. Although her eyes were closed, her eyelids were shaking rapidly. What's more important, her hands were pinching her neck.

Qiaoer felt a strong fear in her heart and subconsciously looked at the door and window. There was a charm floating there but there was no reaction at all.

"Madam, madam, let go now, let go now, don't scare me."

Qiao'er grabbed Liu's hand but couldn't break it open. In panic, she went to touch the amulet on Liu's chest, but when she took it, she found that the bag containing the amulet was already wet.

"Ah - someone is here - the madam is in trouble -"

Qiao'er's screams were heard, and everyone in the courtyard was startled. Taoist Xue opened his eyes with his eyes closed.

"What?" "Go quickly——"

A group of people, including Taoist Xue and Patou Zhong, rushed out of the house and went straight to the yard next to them. As soon as they arrived in front of the house, Qiao'er had already opened the door.

"What's going on?" "Where's the madam?" "There!"

Taoist Xue and Zhong Patou rushed indoors immediately. Mrs. Liu, who was sleeping undressed on the bed, was twitching continuously, and her face was already turning purple.

"What a powerful ghost! Is this in a dream?"

While Taoist Xue was speaking, he had already taken out the talisman and pasted it towards Mrs. Liu's forehead.

Huh~

A white light flashed, and a cloud of black energy exploded from Liu's body. At the same time, a shrill scream came from the door.

"Uh-huh——"

Some of the government officials in front of the door couldn't help but cover their ears. Many people looked outside the door in horror. The ghost visible to everyone's eyes had appeared outside. It was the ghost that Qiao'er had described.

"You killed me, give me back my husband, give me my life -"

The evil ghost wanted to rush over, but at this moment the talisman on the door and window had taken effect. The resentment collided with the talisman light, and the wind and rain outside became even crazier and weirder for a while.

Ghosts kept crashing into the house, the wind and rain became more violent, and there was a sense of chaos in the horror.

Taoist Xue's robes were blown away, and the charms on the doors and windows flew away one by one. Some government officials were frightened and kept retreating. Only Zhong Baotou drew his sword and kept moving forward, but he had to use one hand to block the wind. .

"Damn it, how could this thing have such a strong moral character!"

Taoist Xue couldn't help but swear. He thought of dragon scales but had no time to think about it. He had originally wanted to trap the ghost, but now he was afraid that he could only settle for the next best thing.

"Open it for me!"

Using his hands to cast spells, Taoist Xue pointed to both sides, and several special spells rose from all corners of the yard.

Swish Swish Swish~

The talismans from all directions appeared together, forming a special network.

"ah--"

The fierce ghost was covered by the light, but it seemed to have a kind of brute force, and the surrounding rain seemed to become sticky, constantly stained by the Dharma light.

"not good!"

Taoist Xue shouted, and the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. This is not a ghost, or it is not a pure ghost, but more like a demon!

And its power is much stronger than imagined, or it becomes stronger much faster!

But it's too late to understand this now!

The trump card was activated in advance. Xue Daoren bit off his left and right index fingers, drew imaginary spells on his two palms, and then raised his hands upwards from left to right, shouting at the same time.

"The golden rooster croaks——"

A charm that was originally placed on the top of the pillar outside the house appeared, with a big rooster painted on it.

But before the talisman could shine, the thick water had already wrapped itself around the talisman. The big rooster on the talisman seemed to be stuck in the mud, flapping its wings and trying to escape.

It's over, it's over. I have to explain it here!

Suddenly, a cockcrow sounded.

"Oh oh oh——"

This sound sounded outside the county government office, but it had extremely strong penetrating power, spreading directly throughout the entire county government office, and even spread to several streets and surrounding residential areas.

At the same time, people in the county government office saw the sky light up as if they were under an illusion, followed by the screams of ghosts.

"ah--"

Just like the scorching sun burning away all evil spirits, the talisman net originally arranged by Taoist Xue also lit up again.
