I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

Chapter 92: Poppy's death

"This... I don't know either." Zhao Da muttered.

Seeing Qin Shaoyou's face sinking, he was immediately frightened and said with a sad face:

"I really don't know why. In the past, water ghosts only dragged people into the water after the people on the boat ate the fish. But since the day before yesterday, they have changed. No matter whether the people on the boat ate the fish or not, they would take people into the water. I was dragged into the water, but it made me have to cook fish every day. I also wondered why, but I didn't dare to ask..."

"Don't dare to ask? I think I'm too lazy to ask."

Zhu Xiucai snorted coldly.

"Don't think I don't know, you all wish the water ghosts could drag more people into the water, so that you can get more money."

Zhao Da, whose mind was revealed, was both embarrassed and afraid.

At this time, Monk Ma, carrying the fisherman from another boat, strode over.

After reaching Qin Shaoyou's side, Monk Ma let go of his hand, and the fisherman didn't run away, he took the initiative to walk to Zhao Da's side and squat down, his hands raised high.

The attitude is very good.

His face was swollen like a pig's head.

This is the result of Monk Ma's reasoning to convince people.

As soon as Monk Ma arrived, he expressed his speculation: "Sir, according to your subordinate's guess, it should be that the water ghosts in the Jinyan River are running out of time, so no matter whether the people on the boat eat or not, they must Drag him into the water as a scapegoat."

Qin Shaoyou asked, "I don't have much time? What does this mean?"

Monk Ma explained: "Everyone dies, there is a stage of the bardo body, which lasts for forty-nine days, also known as the seven-seven or the full-seven.

People who died in vain, because they died unexpectedly, their yang life is not yet exhausted, so their souls cannot go to the Yellow Springs.

In order to get rid of this situation, they are looking for a surrogate ghost.

But this must be completed within the seven-year period. After this time, it is useless to find more ghosts. "

Speaking of which, Monk Ma turned his head and asked the two people, Zhao Da, who were listening very seriously, "How many days have passed since the flood was sent today?"

Zhao Da and the two said in unison, "Forty-six days."

"It's been forty-six days, and there are still three days left until the seventh day. No wonder the water ghosts in the river are anxious and disregard the rules. Even if they don't eat their life-buying fish, they will drag people into the water..."

Zhu Xiucai glanced at Zhao Da and the two men and said sarcastically, "When the seventh day is over, if there are still water ghosts who haven't found a surrogate ghost, it will be your turn to be dragged into the water."

The two of them thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not impossible. They were shocked and turned green.

They wanted to say something, but their tongues were like a knot, Aba Aba, they couldn't make it clear at all.

Monk Ma sighed and said to Qin Shaoyu again: "Sir, you must get rid of the water ghosts in the Jinyan River before the seventh day of the year, otherwise they will not be able to bear their grievances and will hide in the river and continue to harm people, even turning into evil ghosts. , the calamity will be great."

Qin Shaoyou nodded, and before he could speak, Zhu Xiucai frowned and said, "Monk, these water ghosts are not easy to deal with. They hide at the bottom of the river, and if they don't emerge, we have no good way to force them out. To find them is to use one's weaknesses to attack the other's strengths, which is extremely dangerous."

Monk Ma had a solution for a long time: "Therefore, killing this matter alone is not enough. The best solution is to invite an eminent monk with real skills to perform a ritual on the riverside, to save the unjust souls who died in the river, and let them They can be relieved."

"Is it really useful to transcend legal affairs?" Qin Shaoyou asked.

"Really useful."

After all, Monk Ma has been a monk before, so he still has the right to speak in this regard.

Qin Shaoyou immediately called two strong men and asked them to go to the nearby villages, and called all the local squires to discuss the matter of overcoming the water ghosts.

Afterwards, a group of people rested and waited by the river.

At this time, Qin Shaoyou also checked the harvest of beheading the water ghost.

It's a pity that I couldn't make a new recipe this time. I just collected some goblin ingredients, which can be used to make fried ghosts and oil ghost cakes.

After waiting on the bank for more than an hour, the water ghosts in the river never appeared again.

However, the arresters and night watchmen from Longtai County rushed over on horseback under the leadership of the two warriors dispatched by Qin Shaoyou.

After dismounting, the night watchman Xiaoqi Xu Hong in Longtai County, and Zhang Long, the catcher, came over to bow hands with Qin Shaoyou, thanking him for helping to find out a major case.

After Qin Shaoyou returned the gift, he handed over the two of Zhao Da to Xu Hong and Zhang Long.

The two masters of Zhao knew that if they conspired with ghosts to kill others, most of them would be capital punishment.

At the same time of regret and despair, they also felt that they could not die alone.

So, without waiting for the night watchman and the catcher to question them, they took the initiative to confess the situation of the other people who helped the water ghost.

Xu Hong and Zhang Long were overjoyed and immediately arranged for someone to arrest them.

They didn't find out that there were water ghosts in the Jinyan River harming people right away. They were somewhat negligent, and they were trying to make amends.

The active confession of Zhao Da and the two people can be said to have helped a lot.

And when they heard that Qin Shaoyou sent someone to invite the local squires to discuss the issue of overcoming water ghosts, they were also very active.

Not only did they send the arresters and night watchmen to help find someone, but they also sent people back to the county seat to report the matter to the magistrate.

The flooding of the Jinyan River was caused by the magistrate digging up the stone ox. Therefore, the magistrate had to participate in the matter of overrunning the water ghost, otherwise it may cause public resentment and anger.

Xu Hong and Zhao Long's subordinates were all local snakes. They knew all the squires in the surrounding villages, and they quickly helped them find them.

Hearing that there are water ghosts looking for dead ghosts in the Jinyan River, the squires have different reactions.

Some were surprised, some were afraid, but some looked flustered and looked away.

Qin Shaoyou immediately got people to take down the flustered squire and interrogated him on the spot.

Sure enough, these squires knew about this for a long time. Either they condoned or shielded them, or they secretly participated in helping the water ghost find a surrogate ghost.

These squires were naturally detained by Xu Hong and Zhang Long, and they were to be brought back to the county town demon yamen for trial and inquiries.

When the remaining squires saw this, they quickly expressed their stance and agreed to invite monks and Taoist priests to perform supernatural rituals.

First of all, they were afraid that they would express their position too late, and they would also be detained as accomplices with ghosts.

Second, he also wanted to quickly escape the water ghost in the river.

After all, they lived by the river, what if one day they or their relatives were targeted by water ghosts?

It's just that they also have difficulties: "To save the water ghosts in the river, you must be an eminent monk with real skills... We people in the countryside don't know such an eminent person."

Qin Shaoyou gave them an idea: "You can go to the Jade Emperor Temple or Luohan Temple. The Taoist priests and monks in these two places are all capable and should be able to save the water ghosts in the river."

The squire was still very worried: "We know the Jade Emperor Temple and the Luohan Temple, but we don't know the Taoist priests and monks there. After we go, will they agree to come and practice things?"

When Zhu Xiucai heard the words, he laughed: "It doesn't matter if you don't know the Jade Emperor Temple and the people at Luohan Temple. After you go, report our Lord Qin's name, they have to show some respect."

Qin Shaoyou made fun of himself, Zhu Xiucai, and said sternly: "The Taoist priest of the Jade Emperor Temple and the monk of the Luohan Temple are both compassionate and compassionate. You go and explain the situation, they will not ignore it."

Hearing Qin Shaoyou say this, the squires were relieved, and immediately got together to discuss the specific matters of inviting people to do things.

Qin Shaoyou and the others did not participate too much in the latter matters.

After handing over with Xu Hong and Zhang Long, they will leave.

Xu Hong and Zhang Long originally wanted to keep them, and even wanted to invite them to the county town for a drink and a meal, but after hearing that Qin Shaoyou and the others were escorting the coffins of their colleagues home, they no longer insisted on staying, but agreed that they must be the next time. Thank you for being the host~www.readwn.com~.

Leaving Jinyan River, the team did not encounter any problems along the way, and arrived at Nanquan Township very smoothly.

Unlike Wei Lishi, a bachelor, Yao Lishi has a wife and children in addition to his parents.

When they saw Yao Lishi's coffin and body, they cried very sadly, like tears.

Qin Shaoyou and the others quickly comforted them, and then they asked the township chief to tell him to take good care of Yao Lishi's family and not let them be bullied.

"Otherwise, my Demon Suppression Division will definitely pursue it to the end and punish it severely."

Qin Shaoyou said with a stern face, with a very serious expression.

The village chief patted his chest and was about to assure himself when Yao Lishi's six-year-old eldest son suddenly raised his head and said, "My uncles and uncles, just a few days ago, someone was going to bully my mother."

"what?"

Hearing this, Qin Shaoyou and the others were all angry.

"Tell uncle and uncle, who is bullying your mother? Don't be afraid, say boldly, we will support you and decide!"

"It's Xu Er." Yao Lishi's eldest son said.

"Who is Xu Er?"

Qin Shaoyou turned his head to ask the mayor.

The township chief wiped his sweat and said, "It's a ruffian from the township who is idle all day. I didn't expect him to dare to bully Yao Lishi's wife."

"Go and bring people." Qin Shaoyou ordered with a sullen face, to help Yao Lishi's wife to seek justice, but also to kill chickens and monkeys, so that people would not dare to bully the Yao family's orphans and widows.

Liao Lishi took two people and immediately followed the township head to Xu Er's house.

Not long after they came back, they didn't bring Xu Er, but said with a weird expression, "Sir, Xu Er is dead."
