I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster
Chapter 488: life silver
"Well, you really don't pay attention to it, even stealing money from dead people? Are you impatient and treat paper money as real money?"
Zhu Xiucai looked at the paper and silver ingots that Zhao Si took out, and couldn't help but shook his head again and again.
The night watchmen in the team frowned slightly, and some even looked at Zhao Si with an extra sharpness.
Zhao Si was startled, and he suddenly remembered that he had heard people say before that the night watchmen in the Demon Suppressing Division were not only responsible for catching and killing ghosts, but also arrested grave robbers who dug graves.
And once caught, it is basically a death penalty!
Zhao Si was frightened, fearing that he would be mistaken for a tomb robber, he hurriedly explained: "My lords, don't misunderstand, this paper and silver ingot was really not stolen from the grave by grass people. How could grass people do such unlucky things? How dare they do it?" Do?"
After swallowing, Zhao Si talked about the origin of this paper silver ingot.
"The day before yesterday I made an appointment with a few people from the same village to go to the next village to listen to an opera. There was a big family there for a funeral, and a troupe was invited to set up a stage to sing a big opera.
In the evening, seeing that it was getting late, we hurried home, but on the way, we suddenly saw a silver light shining in the grass beside the road, so we stepped forward to look it up, and found several silver ingots.
We were so excited at that time, because the silver ingots we saw at that time felt like real silver whether we looked at or touched them. A fellow villager of mine even bit his teeth and said that it really tastes like real silver. "
"That's life-buying silver transformed by the evil spirit of a ghost!"
Hearing this, Cui Yougui couldn't help but shook his head and said, "You just picked up the silver ingots? Didn't you ever think about how some ingots of silver appeared inexplicably on the way? Don't you think it's weird?"
Zhao Si said embarrassingly: "We guessed at the time, thinking that those few silver ingots must have been accidentally left behind by a group of thieves passing by that road after the robbery. We all felt that such ill-gotten gains Since we bumped into it, we won’t pick it up for nothing.”
Qin Shaoyou shook his head slightly.
The reason why Zhao Si and the others speculate is just to make themselves feel more at ease when picking up money.
They are also blinded by money, so they forget the danger after seeing the silver.
No, not necessarily forgetting the danger.
Zhao Si and the others may have guessed that the origin of these silver ingots was wrong, but in the face of interests, they decided to take a chance and decide to gamble.
Won the sand dance, lost Yangshou.
Because of the evil spirit of the ghost, the life-buying silver is thrown on the side of the road to attract people who are greedy for money to pick it up.
Even when buying life silver, because of the entanglement of ghosts, it will arouse greed in people's hearts, and even if people have doubts, they will not be able to control their hands to pick it up.
And anyone who picks up the life silver will be entangled by ghosts.
At the least, they will be deprived of their vitality and lifespan by the ghosts, and at the worst, they will die directly.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou asked: "Is the villager who picked up these silver ingots with you dead?"
"Yep."
Zhao Si nodded repeatedly.
"Early yesterday morning, two people from the same village who shared the silver ingots were found dead at home. They had weird expressions and no scars on their bodies. And those two people were both strong and strong guys. It may be due to a disease attack and death, but it can only be due to a collision with an evil spirit!"
When Zhao Si said this, he couldn't help swallowing to suppress his shock.
Then he went on to say: "At that time, I and another fellow in the same village who shared the money saw the strange death of these two people, so we hurried to find the goddess in the village and told about it.
The witch also said that we picked up the life-buying money dropped by the ghost, and within seven days, we will be taken away by the ghost who threw the money one after another!
She told us to go to the town to report to the night watchman. It was also at that time that we saw that the silver ingot we picked up had turned into paper and had blood on it.
This scene scared us out of our wits, we didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried to the town to report to the night watchman, and the result was "
When Zhao Si said this, he hesitated and hesitated.
Qin Shaoyou raised his eyebrows involuntarily, and had a rough guess in his heart, but he still wanted to listen to Zhao Si's own account.
So he used his skillful tongue and said, "Whatever the result, you just talk about it, don't worry."
Under the consolation of the clever tongue, Zhao Si no longer hesitated, and told what happened next:
"We went to the town and found the night watchmen in charge to talk about this matter, but they asked us to give money, saying that if there is no money, they will not accept the case, let alone protect us. The key point is that they want a lot of money , we can't get it out at all"
Qin Shaoyou's face turned livid when he heard this, and after he snorted, he sneered and said, "Even ghost cases involving human life are dared to ask for cards. It seems that the night watchmen in Lingjie Town should rectify their crimes." Just do it!"
During this period of time, he has been trying to improve the prestige of the night watchman among the people, but no matter how much he does, he can't stand the pig teammates dragging his feet behind.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiucai, who was good at figuring out what he wanted, immediately leaned into Qin Shaoyou's ear and said in a low voice, "My lord, why don't I send a few brothers to Lingjie Town in casual clothes to check the night watchmen here and see what they are doing?" Is there actual malfeasance. If so, collect the evidence so that you can dispose of it when you arrive?"
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Shaoyou nodded and said, "Yes, send some smart and trustworthy people."
If they traveled normally, they could reach Lingjie Town before dark. But now, when Zhao Si blocked the way to report the case, he must solve the case before going to Lingjie Town again.
After all, they were going to send Cai Guizhong home, so they couldn't lure the ghosts and ghosts over there.
Therefore, it is indeed the best choice to let a few trustworthy subordinates go to Lingjie Town to inquire about the situation in advance.
Zhu Xiucai took the order, and immediately arranged for several night watchmen to take off their uniforms and put on casual clothes, and went to Lingjie Town one step ahead of schedule.
During this process, he half-seriously and half-jokingly said to Zhao Si: "You are also stupid, you only want to go to the night watchman to report the crime, and you never think about donating the paper and silver ingots to the Buddhist temple so that the ghosts can go to the Buddha and Bodhisattva Buy your life?"
That is to say, Monk Ma is not here, otherwise he would definitely have a good theory with him.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhu Xiucai's words, Zhao Si said with a bitter face:
"Responding to Master Zhu~lightnovelpub.net~ After we reported the case to the night watchman in Lingjie Town to no avail, we really donated the paper and silver ingots to the merit box of the Buddhist temple in the county.
Moreover, my fellow villager insisted on staying overnight in the Buddhist temple, saying that he wanted to ask the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless him.
I originally wanted to stay in a Buddhist temple, but because I couldn't afford the incense money for staying overnight, I had no choice but to go home.
Last night I couldn't sleep all night, but after dawn, I found that I was safe and sound. I thought it was the Buddha and Bodhisattva in the temple who appeared and subdued the ghost who bought his life, so I rushed to the town at noon and wanted to donate some Qian also made a wish, and thanked the Buddha and Bodhisattva for his life-saving grace.
But when I got to the town, I just found out that there was a murder case in that temple last night. All the monks in my village and the temple died, and all of them were unscarred and had strange expressions.
Obviously, they were also killed by Li Gui!
The Buddha and Bodhisattvas in that temple did not bless them at all!
At the same time, I suddenly felt something extra in my arms, and I reached out to touch it, but it was the paper and silver ingots donated to the Buddhist temple, which inexplicably returned to me.
I know that the ghost who paid for his life is still staring at me, and he still wants my life.
I was terrified, and I ran out of the town, but for a while, I didn't know where to go.
Then I remembered the story I heard from Mr. Shu before, saying that a group of powerful night watchmen came from the county town. Under the leadership of Qin Zongqi, they were very brave to protect the environment and the people. Go to the county seat and ask the adults for help.
But when I left, it was already late, I thought I would not be able to reach the county seat alive, but God blessed me and let me meet all the adults here, please save my life! "
Having said that, Zhao Si knelt down on the ground again with a plop.
