There is a starving ghost in Qingyun Temple

Chapter 62 The Cat Demon Appears 02
In just a few months, three brides and three grooms have died in Pingjiang City.If we add the one last night, it will be the fourth cat demon murder case.People in the city are panicked and rumors are spreading, all claiming that the cat demon in the Dongshan Temple on the outskirts of the city is responsible.

Just as a happy event was approaching for the Duke of Qin, after the second cat demon murder occurred, the county magistrate and county lieutenant mobilized soldiers and horses throughout the city to investigate the case, but still could not find any clues.

Qin Guogong Yuan Ji first invited an eminent monk from Hanshan Temple in the western suburbs to perform rituals to ward off evil spirits. However, on the night after the rituals were completed, a third murder by a cat demon occurred. The death of the bride was even more shocking and disfigured. .

Yuan Ji had no choice but to personally send someone to invite the most famous Qingyun Temple in the south.

Shen Huihe and Huikong arrived.

In fact, the main reason was that Yuan Ji gave too much and it was hard for Qingyunguan to refuse, but she didn't want to refuse either!

"Senior sister, do you think there really is a cat demon in Pingjiang City?" Huikong stroked his swollen belly and asked curiously in a low voice.

Shen Huihe stuffed the last piece of glutinous rice cake into his mouth and nodded with a smile: "It's so delicious. The food in Pingjiang City is really extraordinary. Let's pack another sweet cake and go back to the inn later!"

Huikong was stunned: "Senior sister, don't we go to the Duke of Qin's mansion first to pay homage to him?"

"What's the hurry? Take your time -" She took a new bowl of tea, took a few sips from time to time, turned sideways and looked down at the bustling street downstairs, and was suddenly startled.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

She shook her head and smiled to herself: "Nothing, maybe I was dazzled."

At night, the sound of a watch was heard outside the inn, and occasionally there were the footsteps of one or two teams of government soldiers patrolling back and forth.As soon as the murder case broke out in the city last night, the government immediately ordered to strengthen inspections and supervision.

Shen Huihe inquired about the route and direction of the inspection by the government soldiers, and estimated that it was almost time. The two of them changed into black clothes, jumped onto the roof of the inn, and disappeared into the dark night in the blink of an eye.

The two came to the door of the small house of the bride who was killed the night before, but found that there were only two young officers and soldiers guarding the door. The two were drowsy and did not care much.

Shen Huihe and Huikong quietly walked around to the back of the small house, and landed in the yard with a slight jump.

As soon as Shen Huihe raised his eyes, what he saw were four bright spatters of blood on the edge of the window box in the main room, which looked a bit like the remnants of a cat's claws scratching violently and violently.

After entering the main room of the bride and groom, the red quilt on the wedding couch was torn and torn and scattered all over the floor. The red candles and wine bottles on the wooden table were all toppled and broken, all revealing the cruel desolation after the big wedding.

The strange thing is that there is no extra blood stain left on the wedding couch, as if the bride's face was torn off by monsters and ghosts, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Eh?!" She raised her eyebrows, carefully climbed onto the bed, and lifted up a corner of the quilt as intact as possible, allowing her to find one or two invisible strands of short white hair.

She closed her eyes and made two or three Taoist gestures with her hands, but the small wrinkles between her eyes became deeper and deeper.

After a while, she finally walked out of the house.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold of the main house, Shen Huihe's eyes flickered, and he suddenly raised his hand and waved two talismans: "Who is it?!"

A masked man in black appeared like a puppet at the corner of the room. The man in black seemed to have been prepared for it. He suddenly ducked in front of her and waved his palms, trying to snatch what she had been holding in her palms.

Although Shen Huihe was able to use the talisman to light up the fire to block his fierce attack, the person on the opposite side made his moves unexpectedly, and every move he made was almost touching her arm.

At first glance, each of these moves had no murderous intent, but they were completely rushing towards the white cat hair in her hand, forcing her back to the door of the house in the blink of an eye.

She raised her eyebrows and called her helper with a clear voice: "Huikong!" Huikong heard the voice and came, squinting tightly in the flickering flames, took a deep breath, and suddenly raised his arms, Point your fingers forward.

The sleeves on his sides were slightly loose and fluttering in the wind, and there seemed to be an extremely powerful power hidden under the sleeves——

Two small stones stood up from the ground and suddenly transformed into two small whirling darts with cold light and gray faces.But the two small darts hanging in mid-air were a little unstable, swaying left and right, up and down.

"S-Senior Sister!" Huikong smiled awkwardly, "I just learned it, I may still be a little unskilled!"

Although the two darts were not very neat and smooth, they still seemed to be spiritually connected and had a clear target as they flew straight behind the man in black.

The man in black noticed the movement behind him, turned around, raised his eyes, and waved the short knife in his hand to resist the dart attack.

When the two darts were about to fly towards the eyes, they immediately changed directions to the left and right sides, and actually threw them at the back of the head of the man in black——

"The cat demon is here to claim my life."

"Cat demon, ghost, it's a ghost"

Panic shouts came from not far away, and all three of them were startled.

The man in black's eyes darkened, he casually waved the short knife in his hand, jumped up and disappeared.

Shen Huihe and Huikong reacted. They immediately changed their gestures and closed their eyes to meditate. When they opened their eyes again, their eyes were full of doubts and confusion.

"Senior sister, this side of the man in black——"

"Huikong, I have my own plans for the man in black. You go first and see what's going on ahead."

Huikong got the order and hurried towards the other end of the chaotic shouting.

Early the next morning, Huikong returned to the inn room, carrying two large bundles of freshly baked sesame cakes and a large pot of hot sweet porridge.

"Huikong, what did you find out?"

Huikong looked at her with a sad face: "Senior sister, I've made it clear. The groom suddenly drowned in the river last night. I waited in front of the government office for a long time, but the official's assistant still judged that he was too sad and drunk, so he slipped and fell. He drowned in the river."

"Where did you jump into the river?" Shen Huihe consciously opened the sesame cake he had just brought back.

"In Xiaopinghe, less than a mile away from the house, everyone is even more panicked now."

The Xiaoping River runs through Pingjiang City in both the west and east directions. It is inseparable from the Xiaoping River for washing, cooking and boiling water. It is the common people's river in Pingjiang City.

Shen Huihe nodded slightly and motioned for him to sit down first: "Well, we can't rush this right now. Let's have breakfast first."

Huikong sat down obediently, eating sweet cakes and sipping sweet porridge, and did not forget to ask: "Senior sister, do we still care about the cat demon? Why not inform the government office and Qin Guogong directly——"

Shen Huihe drank the hot sweet porridge and said with a smile: "Silly Huikong, of course, I have to take care of it, and I have to check it carefully. I can't make these two thousand dollars in vain?!"
