After staying in the Demon Suppression Department for so long, although he has never encountered any Yin soldiers taking advantage of the passage, he has read relevant records and notes left by the seniors of the Night Watch.
So he knew that in this world, there are generally two situations when Yin soldiers borrow passages.
One is a unique natural phenomenon similar to an illusion, which will not cause harm to those who see it.
There is another kind, where the ghost is imprisoned by special Feng Shui and cannot leave or go to the underworld, but can only linger in the special Feng Shui place.
This situation often occurs at battlefield sites, and it must be the kind of battle with heavy casualties.
In a place like this, whenever the Yin soldiers appear, they will cause harm to the witnesses. At the most, they will take away the Yang Qi and life span, and at the worst, they will take away the souls of the witnesses and make them become one of the Yin soldiers.
Moreover, in such places, powerful ghosts such as ghost kings are often born.
But I haven’t heard of any tragic wars breaking out here in Lingjie Town?
So what kind of situation will the Yin soldiers in the deserted temple that Zhao Si mentioned take advantage of?
Qin Shaoyou thought for a while and asked: "Have those who witnessed the Yin soldiers borrowing the passage sick or died? And when did the Yin soldiers borrow the passage?"
Zhao Si recalled it carefully and said: "It seems that people who died have not heard of it. As for getting sick, last year, a few idle men in the town did not believe in evil and went to live in that deserted temple for a few days. Finally, they
Waiting for the night fog to come. Then the next day, I was so frightened that I fell seriously ill. Does this count?"
Qin Shaoyou was not sure whether this situation counted, so he turned to look at Cui Youying.
Senior Brother Cui was a little depressed because he couldn't tell for sure, which would undoubtedly detract points from his 'elite' image.
But he had to answer Qin Shaoyou's question.
In desperation, Brother Cui could only tell the truth: "I can't say for sure. These people may be sick because of evil spirits entering their bodies, or they may simply be frightened by illusions."
He also asked Zhao Si: "Are those idle men still alive now? Did they say anything after they returned?"
Zhao Si replied: "I'm still alive. I didn't say anything. I just said that I saw endless Yin soldiers and evil spirits. I wanted to ask more and more details, but they refused to tell me. They just walked in the direction of the deserted temple every day."
, burn incense and worship from afar."
"If he's not dead, it's probably an illusion."
Cui Youyou judged: "As for the incense, they probably feel that they have hit the evil one, and they want to rely on the incense to keep themselves safe. If they really encounter Yin soldiers, how can a few incense save their lives? And that one
The deserted temple was taken care of by Miao Zhu in the past. If it were a real Yin soldier, Miao Zhu would have died long ago. Oh, by the way, did anything like this happen when old Miao Zhu was here?"
Zhao Si was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "When Lao Miao Zhu was alive, it seems that he had never heard of the Yin soldiers borrowing the passage... Could this have something to do with Lao Miao Zhu's death?"
"It's possible." Cui Youyou speculated: "Maybe it was because the old temple Zhu died and there was no one to clean and maintain the temple, which caused the aura to change, so the illusion of Yin soldiers taking advantage of the way was born."
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly, feeling that Senior Brother Cui's guess was a bit blunt. There might be another reason for the Yin soldiers to take advantage of him.
But looking at Zhao Si's appearance, it was impossible to get any more clues.
So he turned to ask: "Do the night watchmen in your town know about the sinister soldiers in the deserted temple? Have they done any investigation?"
Zhao Si replied: "They should know. They have been there once, but they didn't seem to find any results."
"Then you didn't care anymore?"
"right."
"Ha..." Qin Shaoyou sneered and sent Zhao Si away without asking any more questions.
Although Cui Youyou judged that the corridor of Yin soldiers in the deserted temple was a natural phenomenon, Qin Shaoyou still asked him to calculate whether it would be dangerous to spend the night in the deserted temple.
Cui Youshen took out the turtle board and copper coins as he was told and performed divination.
This time, his divination was not obscured by interference and the result was obtained.
"The hexagrams show that there will be some troubles during this trip, but the problems will not be major, and even good things will happen."
Good luck?
Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and others were a little surprised after hearing Cui Yougui's words.
What good things can happen in this place?
Could it be that there are some rare monsters with excellent meat and excellent taste, waiting to be delivered to their doorsteps to give them extra meals?
After thinking about it briefly, Qin Shaoyou swallowed his saliva and said, "Then let's go to the deserted temple that Zhao Si mentioned tonight to stay overnight. I just don't know if we will encounter the sight of Yin soldiers taking advantage of the passage."
"can."
As soon as Qin Shaoyou finished speaking, Su Tingyu took over.
"Looking at the sky, it will definitely be foggy tonight."
Qin Shaoyou still believed in Su Tingyu's ability and nodded: "That's great. Not only can we solve the life-buying case tonight, but we can also see what the underworld soldiers in this place are like."
thing."
Then he put the paper silver ingot into his arms, got on his horse, and greeted everyone to set off.
It didn't take long for everyone to see the deserted temple that Zhao Si mentioned.
Indeed, the temple walls and main structure are relatively well preserved, but they are overgrown with weeds and spider webs. At first glance, it seems that no one has taken care of them.
Qin Shaoyou asked the team to stop outside the temple gate, but did not rush in. Instead, he led the people around the deserted temple to check the situation.
Su Tingyu also followed, and after finishing the tour, she said, "I didn't smell the scent of ghosts here. Instead, I smelled a scent of incense, but it was very light, so light that it was almost gone."
After Cui Yougui finished casting the spell, he reported: "The feng shui and qi here are very ordinary, there is nothing unusual about it."
Qin Shaoyou himself also used [Bright Eyes] to confirm that there was no problem with this deserted temple.
So he called on everyone to bring the horses in, and also moved Cai Guizhong's coffin inside.
There is not much space in the main hall of the deserted temple. Horses and coffins occupy most of the area, and the night watchers can only stay in the smaller half.
They were used to this kind of situation, so it didn't matter.
Besides, they came here to solve the case, not to sleep.
As soon as Qin Shaoyou entered the deserted temple, he asked everyone to use the Hidden Qi Talisman to hide the blood and spiritual energy on their bodies, so as to pretend to be ordinary people, so as not to scare away the ghosts who came to buy their lives.
At the same time, he commanded the night watchmen and laid multiple traps inside and outside the deserted temple.
Although they discussed the situation of the life-buying ghost on the way here, they all agreed that the ghost's strength should not be too strong.
But the lion used all his strength to hunt the rabbit, not to mention that they were facing cunning monsters.
What if the other party hides their strength?
Therefore, they must go all out and make more preparations.
Only by being careful can you sail the ship of ten thousand years.
It was only after entering this deserted temple that Qin Shaoyou noticed that this was also a City God's Temple.
The city god who is worshiped is the same as the one in Mianyuan County.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt relieved.
This place belongs to Mianyuan County, so shouldn’t it be the same as the City God enshrined in the county?
Zhu Xiucai and others also recognized the City God enshrined in the deserted temple, shook their heads and muttered: "The City God of Mianyuan County is really pitiful. The temples in the county were occupied by evil spirits and took away the incense for worship.
The temple was abandoned again and there was a case of Yin soldiers taking advantage of it..."
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
He didn't care whether the City God of Mianyuan County was pitiful, but he was wondering: This time something happened to the City God's Temple again... Is it a coincidence? Or is there some special situation?
Qin Shaoyou, who was suspicious, immediately used [Bright Eyes] and [Listening] to carefully observe the situation in the hall, but still found nothing.
Everything is normal.
As the trap placement was completed, the sky also darkened.
Zhu Xiucai asked people to collect some dry firewood and built a bonfire in the hall. They boiled some water, took out dry pancakes and dried meat, and put them on the fire to roast.
When I go out, I can only make do with something to eat to satisfy my hunger.
The night watchers are used to this situation.
However, Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu and Wenzhu had eaten a lot of demonic and ghost delicacies with Qin Shaoyou and the night watchers in the past few days, but now they could only eat dried meat and hard biscuits, which made them somewhat unaccustomed.
"Sure enough, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality..."
Wen Zhu gnawed on the hard biscuit, feeling that it tasted like wax. She missed the ghost delicacies she had eaten in the Demon Subduing Division.
Zhu Xiucai came over diligently, and while handing Wenzhu the roasted dried meat, he said with relief: "It's okay, after the life-buyer comes, maybe we can have extra meals."
The night watchmen in the main hall nodded and swallowed.
It was at this time that a dark wind blew quietly outside the hall.
The clouds it blew covered the moon.
At the same time, a ghost shadow blew up.
This ghost figure holds an abacus in his left hand and a scale in his right hand. He is as white as paper, but his cheeks have strange red makeup. His eyes are cold and hard, just like the paper dolls sold in the funeral shop...
