……

As the saying goes: the first watch guards against fire, the second watch guards against thieves, and the third watch guards against ghosts.

The ghost didn't come across it, but Bai Shibao and Yan Zifei encountered a fraudulent corpse!

The corpse carried two palms blackened by candles, and slowly walked towards Yanzifei.

Yanzifei usually flies over the eaves and walls, and walks on the beams is a common occurrence, but this time he encountered a dead body and was so frightened that he hung on the beam at a loss. When Bai Shibao yelled and extended his hand to him, Yanzifei came back to his senses Come over, put your hands together, straighten your body up, and climb up the beam.

The corpse stopped, turned its eyes and looked up, sniffed hard...

Yan Zifei trembled, hugged the beam tightly, and said, "How did you cheat the corpse so well?"

Bai Shibao looked down at the corpse, then turned his head to look at the black coffin, and said in surprise, "Ah! This man died violently!"

"Brother, why did you die so violently?"

Bai Shibao pointed with his finger, and said, "Look at his lips turning purple, his eyelids turning white, his chest heaving up and down while holding his breath, and then look at that coffin..."

Yan Zifei turned his head to look at the coffin. The inside of the black wooden coffin was turned over in a mess. There were deep scratch marks inside the coffin, and there were still bloody fingerprints left behind. The coffin lid was not unusual for five nails. Instead of sealing the coffin, it was densely nailed with big nails, leaving no "live mouth" at all!
Yan Zifei was surprised: "Could it be that this person was suffocated to death?"

Bai Shibao replied: "It's no wonder that the dead in their family don't announce the obituary, and there is no lamp hanging at the door, so it turns out that the coffin is sealed here to harm people!"

Yan Zifei asked puzzledly: "Since it's harming people, why do you have to keep the spirit in mourning?"

Bai Shibao shook his head.

It turned out that this man was sealed in a coffin by iron nails, and his three souls were trapped inside the coffin, and he couldn't get out of it. In addition, there was a resentment in his throat, which he couldn't get out or swallow; at this moment, Bai Shibao and Yan Zifei made a hole in the roof, and the moonlight just shone on the black wooden coffin. The man was exposed to the moonlight, so he cheated on the corpse, opened the coffin and walked.

While speaking, the corpse turned around and moved a step, raised its two black hands and walked towards the county magistrate who was snoring on the ground.Bai Shibao whispered, "Look! He's going to kill the county magistrate!"

Yan Zifei held the beams of the house, chuckled, and said, "You deserve what you deserve, let him live or die!"

The corpse walked up to the county magistrate, bent down, looked at it for a while, and stretched out his black hand to wipe the county magistrate's face. At this time, the county magistrate suddenly turned over, kicked the corpse, and woke up from his dream. .

As soon as he opened his eyes and had a face-to-face meeting with the corpse, when they came face-to-face, his eyes stared like copper bells, his hair stood on end in fright, and he screamed in a pitiful voice, "Ah...you're a fraudulent corpse!"

Two people beside him also woke up from the dream, rubbed their eyes, saw that the coffin was opened at some time, and saw a dead body standing in the room looking at them, they were frightened, and hurriedly crawled out, The door of the room couldn't be opened for some reason, and he hurriedly knelt down on the ground and screamed: "The lord has manifested, the lord has mercy..."

The county magistrate was so frightened that he was shaking all over, knelt on the ground shaking his legs, and cried: "Father! I didn't mean to hurt you, it was the idea of ​​that blind Taoist Zhang..." After shouting, he kowtowed repeatedly .

"Daoist Zhang?"

"Blind Zhang?"

Bai Shibao and Yan Zifei looked at each other on the beam.

Looking down again, the corpse was standing in front of the county magistrate, bobbing violently up and down with its chest puffed up, and said, "Why...why...you want...to...death...me?"

The county magistrate was so frightened that his crotch became hot, he urinated, and said stammeringly: "Seeing that you blocked our business, the Taoist priest said that your Yangshou had already reached the end of your life. Our Yangshou wanted to build a black coffin for your 'living burial', I believed it was true, and that's why I did this absurd thing!"

"Who... nailed... the... coffin?"

As soon as the words came out, the boy beside him thought he was about to run out when he stood up, but the corpse grabbed his collar, pulled him back, and pulled the boy to him.

The little fellow was so frightened that he trembled all over, and shouted: "Master, it's none of my business, it's the master..."

Before he finished speaking, the corpse wiped the young man's face with his black hand, the young man rolled his eyes upwards, and died.Seeing this, the county magistrate was so frightened that he lost his mind. He was dizzy, foaming at the mouth, and passed out. Another family member beside him was also kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, begging for mercy...

The corpse turned and went to warm the fire with its hands again.

Bai Shibao shouted to the family member on the beam: "Why don't you run now?"

The family member was frightened to death, but when they heard such a shout, they looked up and saw that there were two more people on the beam at some time, they were even more startled, and they were scared to death.

Yan Zifei looked at Bai Shibao, and said with a smile: "Brother, this voice is so frightening, I saved a hand for that corpse..."

"..." Bai Shibao sighed.

Yan Zifei said: "Look, he went to warm up the fire again, everyone in this room is probably going to die!"

Bai Shibao said: "It doesn't matter if they die, I'm afraid he will go out and harm others!"

Yan Zifei glanced at Bai Shibao, as if he had guessed something, and asked, "What do you mean brother?"

"Burn it for him on the spot, otherwise, if you walk out of this room, how many people will die under his hands!"

"But? Do you know how to catch corpses?"

Bai Shibao shook his head, regretting that when he met Mao Xiaofang, the Daoist of the Southern School, he didn't ask for advice on how to lower corpses. Mao Xiaofang is an expert in lowering corpses.Bai Shibao lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "It's a bet, brother, can you do two things for me?"

Yan Zifei said: "It's okay to speak up!"

"Help me seal the door of this house from the outside, don't let him go out, we'll catch a turtle in our urn!"

"That's not difficult, what about the second thing?"

Bai Shibao said, "Get me some grains and beans, and a bowl of black dog blood..."

Yanzi Feilu said in embarrassment: "Five grains are easy to deal with. I can easily get a sack out of a house. It's just that this black dog's blood is not easy to deal with. Dogs bark fiercely at night!"

"Then trouble my brother to catch an old hen, don't let the brooding..."

Yan Zifei was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Stealing chickens and dogs is a thief, and I, Yan Zifei, am a big thief!" At this moment, seeing Bai Shibao's expression, he nodded helplessly, stood up on the beam and lifted the roof tiles, He jumped up and got out.

In fact, there is no need for so many things, Bai Shibao just wanted to send Yan Zifei away, deliberately let him find some weird things, using this time, Bai Shibao used some methods that he didn't want Yan Zifei to know about!

"Please God?"

Bai Shibao shook his head. This method is too harmful to the body. After using it once, his whole body becomes weak and weak. Besides, it is not sure which god to invite. went in.

"Please ghost?"

It's not going to work either, Bai Shibao doesn't have the money to invite ghosts now, he only has an empty account that ghosts send Xu Fu...

"By the way, Brother Xu!"

Bai Shibao was overjoyed at the thought of this, took out the copper coin from his waist, blew three breaths into the money hole, then took out two mulberry leaves, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed, the indescribable bitter taste was spat out with Wiping his eyelids with his hand, he opened his eyes and looked around the room.

Bai Shibao looked around but didn't see a ghost, so he asked softly, "Brother Xu, where are you?"

……

"Strange, where did Brother Xu go?"

When Bai Shibao was surprised, a gust of wind blew out from nowhere, and the hands of the roasted corpse were as black as charcoal, and he turned around to wipe the face of the county magistrate when he was suddenly shaken by the gust of wind, and immediately knelt down on his knees. On the ground, trembling and motionless.

Bai Shibao took a closer look, Xu Fu tied the two ghosts with iron chains, stood in front of the corpse, looked up at Bai Shibao, folded his hands and asked, "Brother, are you looking for me?"

Bai Shibao was overjoyed, and said on the beam: "Brother Xu, please make another trip!"

Xu Fu looked around and understood somewhat in his heart, and said to Bai Shibao: "Brother, why don't you come down and talk?"

"Brother Xu, the one in front of you cheated, I'm afraid he will catch me!"

Xu Fu glanced back, the corpse was trembling, not daring to move.

Xu Fu said: "Brother, it's okay to come down. This man's three souls flew to death, and he died of injustice. With me, he dared not do anything wrong, otherwise I would use the soul arresting curse to capture his three souls!"

Bai Shibao was overjoyed, he jumped from the beam to the ground, and with a bang, he actually left a deep footprint on the ground. Bai Shibao was startled, and thought to himself: When did I have such strength?Could it be that strange technique?
Bai Shibao didn't have time to think about it in the future, so he walked up to Xu Fu and said, "Brother Xu, I'm afraid that this corpse will come out of this room and harm others, so I want you to come and help me bring it down!"

"Brother found the right person. If this is a walking corpse, a walking corpse, or a zombie, I can't help it, but this corpse has a soul, so I can take care of it!" After Xu Fu said, he turned to look at the corpse. , with cold eyes and eyebrows, asked sharply: "Why don't you go to Sancao to report when you die, and stay in the world with a corpse to harm people?"

The corpse trembled and said: "I have a good heart, and I can't bear to disobey my son and do evil, but I don't want to be sealed in a coffin by him and suffocate to death. I saw the moonlight deceitful corpse today. I only want to avenge my revenge and not harm others!"

Bai Shibao thought to himself: This corpse is also sensible, and it's not slow to speak slowly when it sees a ghost messenger.

Xu Fu asked the corpse, "What's wrong with you?"

The corpse knelt on the ground and told how the county magistrate and the fake Taoist defrauded him of money and killed himself.

Xu Fu said: "If you do evil in the mortal world, you will be punished by the laws of the mortal world. After death, the underworld will also be cut to pieces. It is your fault that you took your life by attaching a corpse..."

The corpse knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

At this moment, only listening to the light movement of the roof tiles, a hole was opened in an instant, and Yan Zifei slipped in through the hole with a sack on his back, and swept his eyes into the room, seeing The corpse was kowtowing to Bai Shibao.

Yan Zifei thought that Bai Shibao had subdued the corpse, opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "This, so fast..."

Bai Shibao also exclaimed in surprise: "You, why are you so fast?"
