I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster
Chapter 490: Ghost in the night
Yin soldiers excuse?
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly.
After staying in the Demon Suppressing Division for so long, although he has not encountered any incidents of Yin soldiers making excuses, he has read the relevant records and the notes left by the senior night watchmen.
So he knew that in this world, there are generally two situations where Yin soldiers make excuses.
One is a unique natural phenomenon similar to hallucinations, which cause no harm to those who see it.
Another kind is that ghosts are imprisoned by special feng shui, unable to leave, and unable to go to the underworld, and can only wander in places with special feng shui.
This kind of situation mostly happened in battlefield ruins, and it had to be a battle with heavy casualties.
In this kind of place, whenever the Yin soldiers appear, they will cause harm to the witnesses. In the lightest cases, the yang energy and lifespan will be taken away, and in severe cases, the souls of the witnesses will be taken away, making them a member of the Yin soldiers.
Moreover, in such a place, fierce ghosts such as the ghost king are often bred.
But here in Lingjie Town, haven't you heard of any tragic war breaking out?
So what kind of situation would Zhao Si say about the evil soldiers in the deserted temple?
Qin Shaoyou thought for a while, and asked: "Those who witnessed the evil soldier's excuse, did they get sick or die? And when did the evil soldier's excuse happen?"
Zhao Si recalled it carefully, and said: "I don't seem to have heard of the dead. As for the illness, last year, a few idlers in the town didn't believe in evil, and ran to live in that deserted temple for a few days. It's because Ye Wu came. Then the next day, I was frightened and fell ill, does that count?"
Qin Shaoyou wasn't sure if this situation counted, so he turned to look at Cui Yougui.
Senior Brother Cui was a little depressed, because he couldn't tell for sure, which would undoubtedly deduct points from his image of a master.
But he had to answer Qin Shaoyou's question.
In desperation, Senior Brother Cui could only tell the truth: "I can't tell. These people's illnesses may be due to evil spirits entering their bodies, or they may simply be frightened by illusions."
He also asked Zhao Si: "Are those idlers still alive? Did they say anything after they went back?"
Zhao Si replied: "I'm still alive, and I didn't say anything. I just said that I saw endless evil soldiers and evil spirits. If I wanted to ask more questions, they wouldn't say anything. They just walked in the direction of the deserted temple every day." , offer incense and worship far away."
"If it's not dead, it's probably an illusion."
Cui Youxuan judged: "As for the incense, it should be that they feel that they have run into evil, and they want to rely on the incense to keep them safe. If they really encounter Yin soldiers, how can a few incense sticks save their lives? And that The deserted temple used to be managed by Miaozhu, if it was a true Yin soldier, then Miaozhu would have died long ago. By the way, did such a thing happen when the old Miaozhu was here?"
Zhao Si was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "When Lao Miaozhu was alive, it seemed that he had never heard of the Yin soldiers borrowing his way... Could this have something to do with Lao Miaozhu's death?"
"It's possible." Cui Youxu speculated, "Maybe it's the death of the old Miao Zhu, and there was no one to clean and maintain the temple, which changed the aura, and thus gave birth to the illusion of the Yin soldiers borrowing the way."
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly, feeling that Brother Cui's guess was a bit blunt, and there might be another reason for the underworld soldier's excuse.
But judging by Zhao Si's appearance, it was impossible to ask more clues.
So he turned to ask: "The night watchman in your town, do you know about the dark soldiers in the deserted temple? Have you done any investigation?"
Zhao Si replied: "It should be known. They have been there once, but they don't seem to find any results."
"And then you don't care?"
"right."
"Oh..." Qin Shaoyou sneered, didn't ask any more questions, and just sent Zhao Si away.
Although Cui Youzhen judged that the passage of Yin soldiers in the deserted temple was a natural phenomenon, Qin Shaoyou still asked him to think about whether it would be dangerous to go to the deserted temple to spend the night.
Cui Youxu took out the tortoise shell and copper coins as he said, and performed divination.
This time, his divination was not concealed by interference, and he got the result.
"The hexagram shows that there will be some troubles during this trip, but the problems are not serious, and even auspicious things happen."
Lucky thing?
Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and others were a little surprised after hearing Cui Youxuan's words.
What auspicious things can happen in this place?
Could it be that there are some rare ghosts with excellent meat quality and excellent taste, waiting to be delivered to their door to add to their meals?
Qin Shaoyou swallowed his saliva after thinking about it for a while, and said, "Then let's go to the deserted temple that Zhao Si mentioned tonight. I just don't know if we can encounter the scene of the ghost soldiers borrowing the way."
"can."
As soon as Qin Shaoyou's Qin Shaoyou's voice fell, Su Tingyu took over.
"Looking at the sky, it will definitely be foggy tonight."
Qin Shaoyou still believed in Su Tingyu's ability, nodded and said: "That's great, not only can the case of buying life money be settled tonight, but also see how the evil soldiers in this place are doing thing."
Then he put the paper and silver ingots into his arms, got on his horse, and called everyone to set off.
It didn't take long for everyone to see the deserted temple that Zhao Si mentioned.
Indeed, the courtyard walls and the main structure of the temple are relatively well preserved, but weeds are overgrown and spider webs are everywhere, and it seems that no one takes care of them.
Qin Shaoyou asked the team to stop outside the temple gate, but did not enter in a hurry. Instead, he led people around the deserted temple to check the situation.
Su Tingyu also followed, and after turning around, he said: "I didn't smell the smell of ghosts here, but I smelled a scent of incense, but it was very faint, so faint that it was almost gone."
After Cui Youyu finished casting the spell, he reported: "The feng shui and qi mechanism here are very common, and there is nothing unusual about it."
Qin Shaoyou himself also confirmed that there is nothing wrong with this deserted temple through his eyesight.
So he called everyone to bring the horse in, and moved Cai Guizhong's coffin in as well.
The main hall of the Desolate Temple does not have much space, the horses and coffins occupy most of the area, and the night watchmen can only stay in the small half.
They are used to this kind of situation, but it doesn't matter.
Besides, they came here to solve the case, not to sleep.
As soon as Qin Shaoyou entered the deserted temple, he asked everyone to use hidden energy talismans to hide the blood and aura on their bodies, so as to pretend to be ordinary people, so as not to scare away the ghosts who came to buy their lives.
At the same time, he commanded the night watchmen and set multiple traps inside and outside the deserted temple.
Although they discussed the situation of the life-buying ghost on the way here, they agreed that the strength of this ghost should not be too strong.
But the lion is still trying its best to catch the rabbit, not to mention they are facing cunning ghosts.
What if the opponent hides his strength?
Therefore, they must go all out and make more preparations.
Only by being careful can you sail for thousands of years.
It was also after entering the deserted temple that Qin Shaoyou noticed that it was also a Town God's Temple.
The enshrined City God is still the same as the one in Mianyuan County.
After thinking about it carefully, I was relieved.
This place belongs to Mianyuan County, so shouldn't it be the same one as the City God enshrined in the county?
Zhu Xiucai and the others also recognized the God of Town God enshrined in the deserted temple, shaking their heads and muttering: "The God of City God in Mianyuan County is really pitiful. The temple in the county town was invaded by evil spirits and took away the incense to worship~www. lightnovelpub.net~The temples in the villages and towns were abandoned again, and there was a thing about the evil soldiers borrowing the way..."
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he frowned slightly.
He didn't care whether the Town God of Mianyuan County was pitiful or not, but he was thinking: This time another accident happened in the Town God's Temple... Is it a coincidence? Or is there any special case?
Qin Shaoyou, who was suspicious, immediately used his eyesight and hearing to carefully observe the situation in the hall, but he still found nothing.
Everything is normal.
With the completion of the trap arrangement, the sky also darkened.
Zhu Xiucai asked people to gather some dry firewood back, and built a bonfire in the hall. They boiled some water, took out dry biscuits and dried meat, and roasted them on the fire.
Going out, I can only make do with something to eat.
The night watchmen are used to this situation.
But Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu, and Wenzhu, who ate a lot of ghost food with Qin Shaoyou and the night watchmen in the past few days, now they can only eat dried meat and hard cakes, which made them somewhat uncomfortable.
"Sure enough, it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal..."
Asparagus gnawed on the hard cake, feeling like chewing wax, and missed the ghost delicacy that he ate in the demon town.
Zhu Xiucai approached attentively, and while handing Asparagus bamboo the roasted jerky, he comforted: "It's okay, after the ghosts come, maybe we can have extra meals."
The night watchmen in the main hall nodded and swallowed in unison.
It was at this time that a gust of wind quietly blew outside the hall.
The clouds it blows cover the moon.
At the same time, a ghost was blown.
This ghost is holding an abacus in his left hand and a scale in his right. His whole body is as white as paper, but his cheeks are wearing strange red makeup. His eyes are cold and hard, just like the paper puppet sold in the funeral shop...
