The world of Taoism

Chapter 32 Murder and Bury

Just as everyone was thinking, there was no wind on the water surface, and ripples appeared.

Whoa!

Everyone jumped up in fright like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and a group of people took a few steps back.

If it wasn't for Zhou Xuan being here, they might have already fled in all directions.

"Don't worry, everything is normal." Zhou Xuan glanced at everyone lightly.

"Look at your prospects, just blowing the wind can scare you into such a bird." Du Yuerong gave his subordinates a hard look.

"Do these three people work till the end every time?" Zhou Xuan asked.

The person on the pier pondered for a moment and said, "It seems so. These three people are very hardworking, and they work very late almost every day before returning."

It seems that this ghost should only come out in the afternoon or night.

A group of people stood here, and there were more and more people watching around.

Zhou Xuan ordered these idlers to be driven away, and then the pier was empty and deserted.

The sun went down, and the night slowly opened.

In the past, the bustling pier was deserted, only Zhou Xuan and his party stood beside the pier.

At this time, Zhou Xuan once again came to the water where Wang Laoliu drowned.

After waiting for a long time, nothing was found.

It's a bit embarrassing now, shouldn't this be the place where the female ghost appeared?
Except for Wang Laoliu, the other two did not die here, but in the vicinity.

Just as Zhou Xuan walked out, there was a burst of ripples on the surface of the water.

Zhou Xuan lowered his head subconsciously, and his figure was clearly reflected on the clear water.

On the right side of Zhou Xuan's shoulder, there appeared a head with black hair covering his face, and his facial features could not be seen clearly.

As soon as Zhou Xuan raised his hand, a black light flashed.

The soul chasing needle flew out.

The target was not behind him, but on the surface of the water.

Boo!
The chasing needle sank into the water.

Whoa!

The river was churning, and a black object jumped out several meters away like a fish.

This ghost killing method is very clever, using the reflection of the person in the water to make it mistakenly think that there is something behind it, and when the person turns his head, he will kill him with one blow.

A few meters away, a pair of pale hands protruded from it.

Nails are black and long, with a metallic sheen.

The pale hand stretched two meters, and grabbed towards Zhou Xuan's heart.

Zhou Xuan reacted faster, sideways to avoid the attack with both hands, and then took out a dagger.

Click!

Two pale hands fell in response, and the surface of the river was stained red with pitch-black blood.

The dagger is made of peach wood, engraved with cinnabar runes, soaked in the blood of black dogs and roosters, and has the effect of hurting the soul.

Whoa!

The surface of the water churned for a while, and a figure in Tsing Yi stood up.

This person's hair covered his face, so he couldn't see clearly. His lower body was in the water, and his upper body was wearing a Tsing Yi.

When Du Yuerong and the others saw the scene in front of them, they were almost scared to pee.

Du Yuerong's face was pale, and he forced himself to calm down, and then he shouted: "Master Zhou is here, what are you afraid of? Who dares to run back and I'll chop you up!"

As the leader of a gang, showing cowardice in front of his subordinates is detrimental to his dignity.

"Du Yuerong! Pour black dog blood and rooster blood into the water."

Zhou Xuan released the mouse, and while fighting the water ghost, he turned his head and said to Du Yuerong.

The water ghost was not strong, so Zhou Xuan easily dealt with it by relying on his speed and mice, leaving a deep wound every time.

However, this water ghost has a great advantage in the water.

Every time it is injured, it recovers instantly.

Du Yuerong immediately ordered his subordinates to move out two wine jars.

When the lid of the wine jar was opened, a bloody smell rushed to the face.

Everyone worked together and threw the wine jar into the water.

thump!
The wine jar fell into the water, and the surrounding water was dyed black and red.

I saw black smoke coming out of the water ghost, as if it was burned by something.

Before it was too late, the mouse's blood-red claws pierced the water ghost's chest.

Two chasing needles were nailed to the water ghost's forehead.

With a crash, the female ghost turned into a cloud of black mist.

Then it reappeared.

The hair was scattered, revealing a hideous face.

Kaka!

The water ghost turned its neck 360 degrees and looked at everyone.

The facial features are pale, a bit like the facial features of a woman, without eyes, only two dark holes.

The water ghost's mouth is wide open, the lips are cracked to the base of the ears, and the gums are surrounded by a circle of jagged sharp teeth.

If bitten, I'm afraid even the bones will be directly chewed to pieces.

A low voice chanted softly from his mouth, like weeping and complaining, like resentment and admiration, very desolate.

Those who heard it felt tight in their chests, as if they were suffocating.

Du Yuerong and the others couldn't bear it, and fell to the ground with a plop.

The surrounding environment changed drastically, and Zhou Xuan came to the wilderness.

The night was thick, and the sky was like ink-stained.

A thin layer of black mist shrouded the forest.

A woman in Tsing Yi was lying on her back.

The silver-white moonlight illuminated the face of the woman in Tsing Yi, her seven orifices were bleeding, her death was terrifying, her eyes were unwillingly looking at the sky.

There is a poignant and melodious little song lingering in the whole world.

"When the man is in the heart, the concubine is heartbroken. The grievances are known every month, and it is not easy to meet and separate..."

Suddenly, the lying woman turned her head, her eyes widened to the limit, the corners of her eyes were cracked, and blood continued to flow out.

Zhou Xuan didn't speak, his face was calm, and he looked at the woman peacefully.

After a while, the scene changed again, and Zhou Xuan returned to the riverside. The river water wet his clothes and stuck them tightly to his body, Zhou Xuan didn't care at all.

Du Yuerong and the others slowly came to their senses. When they saw someone standing in front of them, they almost fainted from fright.

"Are you ready?" Zhou Xuan said, before turning around and walking away without waiting for everyone's answer.

"Master Zhou! Where are you going?"

Zhou Xuan didn't have the way to go back, Du Yuerong was puzzled and chose to follow, he didn't dare to stay here.

Zhou Xuan came to a wasteland, where weeds were overgrown and there were few people.

Except that the vegetation is a little stronger, everything else is exactly the same as in the illusion just now.

Soon, Zhou Xuan commanded everyone to dig out a half-decomposed corpse.

The face of the corpse was rotten, and milky white maggots were eating big pieces of it. He was wearing black clothes and a silver bracelet on his right hand. It was the corpse of the water ghost before his death.

The female ghost has long since disappeared, leaving only a corpse.

Seeing this scene, everyone was terrified, but compared to the water ghost, the corpse was easier to accept.

Zhou Xuan had the corpse wrapped up, put it on the carriage, and rushed to the Yamen.

There was a bruise on the neck of the water ghost's corpse, and it was obvious that it was not suicide.

The reason why he became a water ghost was probably because he was drowned in the water, and then his body was dragged to the wilderness and buried.

Zhou Xuan went to the yamen now, handed over the corpse to the yamen, and at the same time posted a notice for the relatives to come and claim the corpse.

If the subsequent matters do not involve ghosts and ghosts, then they will be handled by the Yamen.

When Zhou Xuan came to the Yamen, they went to report.

A middle-aged man with an elegant face and a dignified expression, wearing a blue official uniform and an official hat, walked slowly.

"Master Zhou! I have been admiring you for a long time!"

This person is Lu Feng, the magistrate of Wannian County, and Lu Long and others are standing behind him. At this time, this guy lowered his head, not daring to look up at Zhou Xuan.
