Chapter 40

"Look, found it!"

Just as Song Shiyun was thinking, a shout suddenly came from the river.

Everyone's attention was suddenly attracted by the shout.

Song Shiyun breathed a sigh of relief and looked over.

A government official stuck his head out of the river and wiped the water from his face. I don't know whether it was because the water was too cold or because he was afraid. His face turned purple and he was trembling all over.

"Come on, there is really a female corpse down there. She is not very old, I think she is less than ten years old!"

Upon hearing this, Capt. Zhao immediately trotted forward a few steps, "Just down here?"

The yamen servant said while sipping the water: "Yes, it's down here...but, her appearance is a little strange..."

Capt. Zhao frowned suddenly, "What a strange method?"

The officer's face was trembling and his voice was trembling, "...Subordinate, I don't know what to say. Let's send someone to catch the body first and then let's talk about it!"

When Capt. Zhao heard this, he felt a thump in his heart, secretly thinking that something was wrong, and immediately sent a few people into the water to help.

Song Shiyun stood not far away, hearing the conversation of the government officials, looking at the yin energy surging again on the water, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

No one saw it, but the water surface seemed to be covered with a thick layer of ink, or black mist, lingering above the river, flowing slowly and turbulently.

The whole scene is extremely weird and terrifying.

Whenever someone comes even slightly closer, the Yin Qi will invade forward, as if it wants to penetrate into everyone's body.

This sudden surge of Yin Qi...

Not normal!
Logically speaking, the little girl's soul was not in the river in the hands of Song Shiyun. At most, there would only be some residual Yin Qi left in the river.

If there is nothing else, the Yin Qi will only decrease with the sunshine and never rise again.

It is even more impossible that when the number of strangers increases, the number will increase accordingly.

unless……

Under this river, there is only one body!
Realizing this, Song Shiyun's eyelids twitched and he saw that a government servant had already taken off his shirt and was about to jump into the lake.

Song Shiyun said loudly: "Wait a minute."

Xie Rugu immediately looked over at Song Shiyun.

At this time, Song Shiyun didn't care that Xie Ru was still there, and walked towards Zhao Captou and others.

When Capt. Zhao and others heard someone suddenly shouting to stop, they all looked back.

Seeing a little girl Song Shiyun coming over, several government servants who took off their shirts immediately grabbed the clothes on the ground and put them on themselves.

"What do you want the second lady to do?" Zhao Captou looked at Song Shiyun who was approaching, and took a step forward. He didn't quite understand why the little girl was trying to move forward.

When Song Shiyun saw this, he stopped where he was and did not move forward. Instead, he took out a few talismans and handed them to Zhao Captou.

When Capt. Zhao saw the talisman, he was a little dumbfounded, "This is it?"

Song Shiyun said: "This is an exorcism talisman. It can avoid some yin energy and prevent the yin energy from getting on my body. I asked for it from the temple. There are corpses under the river. It is inevitable that there will be some yin energy. It is not a good thing if it is contaminated." Let them be careful."

If it were normal, Capt. Zhao would definitely ignore this kind of thing.

However, as government officials, they have indeed seen many strange things.

Moreover, Daqing Shangdao asked ordinary people to do some research on this matter.

Capt. Zhao also knows that the dead are full of evil spirits, especially children like this. Those who died in accidents rarely get over it.

Thinking of this, Capt. Zhao took the talisman and said, "Thank you, Miss Second, for your thoughtfulness."

Song Shiyun retracted his hand, glanced at the river surface, and lowered his voice and said: "In addition, please send someone to look around underwater."

Zhao Captou was stunned, "Look again? Haven't we already found it?"

Song Shiyun said hesitantly: "In fact, I saw more than one corpse underwater that day, but I only glanced at it. I'm not sure whether there is one or not. I'm really worried. Please arrest the head. Let’s look for someone else.”

Seeing her frowning, she was speaking very seriously.

Capt. Zhao couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

He subconsciously looked towards the relatively stable river surface.

More than one body...

not true?
"It's time to trouble you, sir." Song Shiyun's voice at this moment brought Capt. Zhao back from his thoughts.

Capt. Zhao was a little hesitant, but someone under his command had already entered the water, and he didn't care to look underwater for a while longer.

What's more, the people here now are all rich or noble, and he can't afford to offend them.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhao nodded, "I understand. Second Miss, please go aside and wait."

Song Shiyun thanked him and turned around to leave the river.Capt. Zhao took the exorcism talisman and immediately walked to his people and divided the talisman papers among them. "This is the exorcism talisman that the second lady gave us out of consideration for us. It can avoid some evil spirits. Please handle it carefully."

The government officials took the talismans and looked at each other in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, a yamen servant whispered: "But this is a talisman paper. Wouldn't it be ruined if it was soaked in water?"

Capt. Zhao choked when he heard this.

Song Shiyun, who had just walked out a few steps away, seemed to have heard their words and said loudly: "You can take them into the water with you, it won't be a problem."

Everyone choked again.

After a few seconds of silence, Capt. Zhao said, "Okay, the second lady also has good intentions. Just take it if you want. It's useless to offend them for these things, isn't it?"

Everyone understood the meaning of Capt. Zhao's words and nodded in unison.

Capt. Zhao then added: "Wait a minute, after you get into the water, follow the river and look elsewhere. There may be more than just one body under the water."

The government officials were shocked.

"More than one?"

Capt. Zhao said with a stern face, "Well, the second lady said that she saw other corpses in a trance that day, but she is not sure. Anyway, we are all here, so let's check more."

When the government officials heard this, they subconsciously thought that Song Shiyun was just blinded and making nonsense.

However, they also knew that Song Shiyun was the young lady of the Hou Mansion, and they could not afford to offend her.

Capt. Zhao had already agreed. What else could they say? They could only agree.

Not long after, several government officials entered the water again.

Soon, they discovered that after soaking the talisman in the river, there was no sign of damage at all.

Not only that, the cinnabar on the talisman paper was faintly glowing and hot, as if it was really driving away evil spirits for them.

Everyone couldn't help being surprised.

This talisman... is so clever?
There are many talismans on the market, and even ordinary people have seen many of them, but they have never seen such talisman paper.

If you want such efficacious talismans, you can only get them by going to the Tiansi Bureau or meditating, right?
The government officials couldn't help but think wildly.

But right now, it's obviously not the time for them to think wildly.

As soon as I hit the water, the cold lake water swept over me.

Wrap them up.

However, the moment the lake water soaked into the talisman, it seemed that the cold was driven away.

Everyone felt less uncomfortable, but they didn't think too much and immediately rushed to the government servant who had gone into the water to investigate earlier.

Following the yamen's instructions, they saw the body under the river.

When they saw the corpse, everyone's expressions were quite ugly. Some people even choked on a mouthful of river water and couldn't help but come up to the surface and spit out the river water.

Capt. Zhao was on the shore. Watching this scene, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

really……

After a while, several government officials joined forces to bring the body up.

The moment they saw the corpse, the faces of everyone present suddenly became ugly.

Timid people, like Mrs. Guo and the maids around her, couldn't help turning their heads and vomiting.

When Song Shiyun saw the corpse, his face suddenly sank.

That...can't be said to be a corpse.

Although it was still intact, it might as well have been dismembered.

The whole body was imprisoned in a circle by iron rings, connected end to end, forming the shape of an incense burner. The eyes and ears were gouged out and cut off, the internal organs were also taken out, and all parts of the body were filled with incense ash. Seal it with iron sheets.

...purgatory on earth.

"How, how could..."

Song Shirou's face turned pale and her eyes almost fell out.

Before she could finish her sentence, she turned around, threw herself next to a tree, and started vomiting.

Capt. Zhao looked at the corpse and took a deep breath. His scalp was numb and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Only then did everyone realize why the first Yamen officer who went down to investigate was so hesitant in his words.

Who can speak calmly after seeing this corpse?
