"Why is the water swaying? Oops, it's so swaying..."
The painted boat rowing across the water was played with silk and bamboo playing, and among the strings played by the fingertips of the singing girls, young men swaying paper umbrellas, and merchants with bulging bellies walked along the side of the boat with their female companions in their arms, whispering.
Occasionally, when the woman's red lips uttered coquettish words, the slowly sliding boat suddenly swayed, and those who were unsteady on their feet fell into the water with a crash.
The Turtle Man on the boat hurriedly jumped into the water to save others, and the person in charge at the guardrail suddenly looked towards the bridge in the distance and shouted: "What is that!"
"snake……"
"What a big snake!!"
Those with sharp eyes widened their eyes when they saw the long white body in the rising water, and hurriedly shouted: "Turn around!"
Seeing this scene, the female family members dragged their long sleeves, covered their eyes, screamed and screamed, and ran around the boat for a while. The boat quickly turned around, and the turtle man who went into the water to save people almost didn't have time to take him with him.
The rescued guests board the ship.
Fortunately, after escaping for a certain distance, the big snake did not chase after them, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, a strong wind suddenly blew on the river, causing people to stagger around.
On the river, which ordinary people cannot see, there are figures wearing official robes, parading around with them, and several Yinshi riding the evil wind upstream along the river.
Bo, the head of the Department of Rewards and Punishments, followed the direction of the evil spirit from afar. The sound of Dharma came out, and the stone bridge exploded on the river bank.
"Where did the evildoer come from and dare to enter Luodu without permission!"
The white snake coiled in the water suddenly shrank its vertical pupils and was about to dive into the water. With her current behavior, it was really difficult for her to fight with the city god of the capital. Besides, she didn't come here just to find pleasure.
Hiss~
The white snake spat out the message in the direction of the dark wind, and when it twisted its body and got into the water, more than a dozen figures from far away were already standing on the stone bridge. The leader of the reward and punishment department just raised his hand, and a big wave burst out of the river.
, pushed the white snake that had just emerged from the water to the shore. When he saw the corpses that were pushed ashore together, his eyes were stern: "What a courageous snake demon, he went into the city to kill people!"
His eyes also fell on Wang Zhaoyuan, who was holding a phantom in his hand, and he snorted coldly: "There is also a ghost. I just happened to take it together for a night patrol!"
Two night patrols, one on the left and one on the right, heard the sound and floated over there. A ghost and a snake were on both sides. The iron chains in their hands were tightened. One of them wrapped around the tail of the snake that wanted to escape. Three ghosts floated across the river in the dark wind, and several more
An iron chain bound it tightly.
When he was about to grab the ghost over there, Wang Zhaoyuan hurriedly waved his hand towards him.
"Comrades, please wait a minute, I am Wang Zhaoyuan, the former Qingshan County City God, and now he is on duty at Zhenjun Temple!"
The two patrolmen over there hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but look at the leader. The latter was not interested in what he said in front of him, but the Zhenjun Temple behind him was on duty, which made him a little afraid.
The bound snake demon saw the hesitation on his face, and the outline of a beautiful woman appeared above his head. He said timidly: "I...I came to the Lingxian Temple, and I didn't want to cause trouble here.
.”
The owner twitched the corners of his thin mouth, looked at the tall figure in the fog, and then at the white snake on the river bank.
"You both know the same person?"
Seeing Wang Zhaoyuan nodding, the host suddenly smiled.
"I'm going to tell you how you are so similar to Yin Zai. You used to be on duty with Qingshan City God, but now you have another place to live. Then who is the soul in your hands? Why are you being arrested? You were originally Yin Zai from Qingshan County.
You should be aware of the local ghosts, and you should have the city god to handle the affairs."
"Replying to this boss, can you tell me the whole story?"
The head of the Rewards and Punishment Department, Bo Ye, knew that the True Lord was powerful, so he nodded: "You say so."
"This man has done many evil things in his life. He secretly had an affair with a married woman, and the two of them killed him. Tonight, I went to check on the order of the true king, and I happened to bump into him. Unexpectedly, this man knew some tricks to let him escape here.
I happened to meet this white snake and was entangled to death in the river, and then I took away the soul."
Zhu Bo glanced at the confused soul in Wang Zhaoyuan's hand and snorted: "That's right!"
He raised his hands and said to Wang Zhaoyuan: "Since the True Lord wants him to go there, then he can go, but if he's not out of his mind yet, he still has to send him to the City God."
The man who came back to his senses looked at the other side in disbelief. He was just given to the other party? But he wanted to scream, but his soul had no voice.
Wang Zhaoyuan exerted force in his hands, grinning at the host opposite him with his fangs wide open.
"As it should be."
"Then it's over now. Is this snake demon really looking for the true king?"
The master confirmed again and again, and Wang Zhaoyuan also nodded, and simply told the master about his encounter with the white snake.
"This demon has been cultivating in the mountains all year round and has never hurt anyone. She came to Luodu after the True Lord promised to grant her the title of righteousness when she entered the city. I just happened to go back with her."
"Okay, okay, please!"
The owner spread his hands thinly and watched the ghost go away. The night patrol next to him was unwilling and turned his face away: "Tonight is a wasted trip. How can I pay homage to the city god when I get back?!"
"That's a ruthless person who's not easy to deal with. He always has to give him some bad treatment." Bo, the head of the Rewards and Punishment Department, waved his hand to tell him to stop talking, and then kicked the patrolman.
"You are patrolling at night, and you don't even know if a monster comes into the city. Go back and see how you can deal with it!"
After saying that, he set up the Yin Feng and took a bunch of Yin Xians away, leaving the night cruiser pointing at himself speechlessly, and finally he set up the Yin Feng and followed him.
…
The night wind blows the ancient trees.
Chen Yuan stood on the top of the temple with his hands behind his hands, and soon he felt that Wang Zhaoyuan's Yin Qi was coming back. He frowned, as if there was a demonic Qi next to him, as if he had brought it back specially.
"Let him go and investigate. Why did he bring a demon back?"
For a moment, a dark wind blew across the temple, and a tall figure knelt down with a ghost in his arms: "Wang Zhaoyuan returns to the true king."
Along with it, there was a big snake, with its white scales undulating and twisting, and its long snake body spreading across the street. It was very scary. If any nearby people opened their windows and took a look at it at this time, they would probably be scared for days.
Can't sleep.
"Are you that snake in Danxia Mountain?!"
Two months apart, Chen Yuan had experienced a lot, and Chen Yuan almost left the white snake behind. The white snake spit out the letter and nodded. Immediately, the outline of a woman formed on its head and presented a blessing to Chen Yuan on the roof. It could be seen that
While wandering down the mountain, I also learned the etiquette of the world.
squeak!
Seemingly hearing movement outside the door, Mrs. Xu opened the door after getting up at night, and saw a white snake as big as a hill coiled in front of the temple. Her head went blank, and the color on her face faded in an instant. She called her husband tremblingly.
Name, Xu Huaiyu was already alert. When he heard his wife's voice, he got up in a hurry and saw his wife standing at the door with an ugly expression. Looking along his eyes, he saw a huge white snake leaning towards the Zhenjun Temple, as if it was kowtow.
.
"Don't talk. Maybe it's a spirit from the mountains who came here to pay homage to your benefactor."
The moment Xu Huaiyu gently closed the door, his heart was beating wildly. He had been on the battlefield and killed people in his life, but such a huge creature, especially a snake that could infiltrate people, could not avoid feeling fear in his heart.
The couple quickly got into bed, hugging each other and silently covering the quilt with their heads in it.
Outside the house, the night wind whimpered and circled around the Zhenjun Temple.
Chen Yuan would ask about the White Snake thing later. After listening to Wang Zhaoyuan's account of what happened in the court, the thin ghost in his hand raised the other person directly from the air with one hand.
Thoughts together.
The brilliant golden light filled the whole body of the ghost like a flame.
"Ahhhh..." Yinhun's heart-rending scream fell into the air, just like the sound of wind blowing by.
Just like burning fire, thunder and lightning passing by, the Yin energy overflows, making a hissing sound.
"Fornication with a married woman!"
"Taking someone else's life for granted!"
"I still want to eradicate the root cause... I will do all the evil deeds!"
Every sentence was full of anger. Chen Yuan grabbed it from the air, as if holding the head of a ghost, and slammed it to the ground. He turned around with his hands behind his back and faced the direction of Luodu Mansion Office.
His lips didn't move, but the sound spread.
"Officials of the Luodu Prefecture, big and small, please listen to me. There is something fishy about the Cheng family in Chengning. The man named Cheng is not dead yet. Go and rescue him quickly!"
…
At this time, the officials in Luodu Mansion were sleeping soundly. When a faint voice came into their ears, a dream came in. In the dream, a god with a golden light appeared, saying that there was injustice in the city.
Suddenly they woke up from their dreams one by one. The more they thought about it, the more something was wrong. They thought that the gods were entrusting them with dreams, so they didn't dare to neglect them. Instead of waiting for the wives and concubines who were lying in bed to ask, they called the maids, washed them briefly, put on their clothes and robes, and rushed out.
Outside the government office, I saw carriages arriving one after another. When I asked about it, I found out that all my colleagues had had the same dream.
The governor of Luodu now confirmed that the matter was not that simple, so he personally took the officials, government servants, and almost everything he could bring with him, and hurried to Chengningfang.
When we got there, we found the small courtyard where the funeral was held. Inside, we saw a fainting woman and sobbing children.
"A woman and a child, where is the murderer?"
Fu Yin walked around the room and looked at the corpse lying upright in the mourning hall. He remembered that the god in the dream said that he was not dead yet. Could it be that the corpse in front of him was really not dead?
He asked a government servant to go back and find the corpse for examination. In the shoes and socks that he took off, he saw seven short nails driven into the soles of the corpse's feet. He also found three nails in the bun. Fortunately, the nails were shorter.
The nail only broke the skull and did not damage the brain.
"Let me tell you, there are some evil ways in guarding the door. Why don't you let the Taoist Priest of Tianshi Mansion come and take a look?" The man looked at the dozen or so black short nails carefully, and felt a little scared.
Over there, the governor was a little anxious when he saw that the corpse had not yet come to life. He reminded him that the Taoist Priest of the Xuntian Master's Mansion said it would not have any miraculous effects. Not long after, two government servants were discharged from the hospital and rode on horseback to a large house at the foot of the imperial city.
After hearing about this, a Taoist priest came over, inspected the dozen short nails, looked at the body, took out a talisman, crushed it and threw it into a bowl filled with cold water.
I wrote and drew on the water with my fingertips for a while, and asked the government servants to help feed the corpse. In an instant, I saw the dead body, which gradually regained some blood color, which surprised the surrounding government officials and officials.
"This person has evil intentions. He used the soul-sealing nail to seal the heavenly spirit and the earth's orifice to prevent his soul from coming out. He wants to go to the city god to redress his grievances. He really wants to make sure there is no leakage."
The Taoist priest put these short nails in his pocket one by one and was going to take them back to perform rituals and destroy them all. He also asked Fu Yin how he discovered them.
Na Fu Yin told the other party about the god-man in the dream, and the latter stroked his short beard.
"Prefect, you might as well move this matter to the Zhenjun Temple for trial."
Fu Yin frowned: "Why is this?"
"The god in the dream is in the Zhenjun Temple." The Taoist priest stroked his beard and chuckled.
