"Brother Su, why do you have the time to go up the mountain in this weather today?" Mu Yi stood on the big rock and waited for Su Jinlun to approach, panting, before he asked.
"I'm really ashamed. Jinlun invited the Taoist priest and his party on the order of my grandfather." Su Jinlun looked a little embarrassed. After all, the road was really difficult to walk on such a day when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow. Even though he had been exercising all year round, this trip was still not easy.
, Fortunately, he is already familiar with this mountain road, so there is no danger.
"Mr. Su, are you inviting me? Could it be that something happened at home?" Mu Yi raised his eyebrows and asked directly.
If something really happened to the Su family, then he wouldn't mind going through it. After all, if you accept the su family's offerings, you will naturally have to pay for it, and it's not his character to just take it and not give it up. If you accept the cause and effect, you have to pay back
.
"That's not true. It's just that something happened in the town, causing people to panic. Many people even asked my grandfather to see him. My grandfather felt really embarrassed, and the matter was too difficult, so he had no choice but to come and ask for the Taoist priest. Of course, my grandfather also asked before coming.
"If the Taoist priest has no time, you don't have to pay attention to it," Su Jinlun said.
"Oh, what happened in the town?" Mu Yi couldn't help but ask. He was not an unreasonable person. Even though this matter had nothing to do with the Su family, the Su family lived in the town after all.
, it’s hard to say that it has nothing to do with it at all, and Mu Yi has to give face to Su Zhongshan no matter what.
It happened that he had been staying on the mountain for more than two months, and now he could go down the mountain for some exercise.
"He was the son-in-law of a family in the town. He was found dead in the house early yesterday morning. What's scary is that his flesh and blood were mangled, and his whole skin was peeled off." Su Jinlun took a deep breath and said.
"What did you say? The skin was peeled off?" Mu Yi was also shocked. Killing people is not terrible, but the method is so cruel, it is a little different. No wonder there is panic in the town.
But, why did Su Chongshan come to him? Could it be that he felt that those who did such things were not human beings?
"Yes, I also went to see the scene. It was really scary. When the daughter of that family woke up in the morning, she found that her husband lying next to her had been skinned. She almost went crazy with fear." Su Jinlun let out a long sigh, and then followed.
He added: "And some people discovered that the dead man's muscles were so twisted that he must have been skinned alive. Even after being skinned, the man was still alive and was finally killed."
"Are you saying that the man was skinned alive and died at night, while his wife was sleeping beside him without noticing anything, and she didn't find out until she woke up at dawn?" Mu Yi frowned tightly. If that was the case, he would
Some people understand why Su Chongshan asked people to come to him.
Because this was beyond the means of ordinary people, Mu Yi couldn't help but think of Xu Gui. Of course, it didn't mean that Xu Gui did this, but he saw from the Taoist book that someone wanted to cultivate fierce ghosts.
, will use some very extreme methods to make them die in pain and fear. Is it because of the other party?
But no matter what, Mu Yi decided to go and have a look.
For more than two months, he has been studying the book of Taoism. He is familiar with the ghost control skills in it, but he has never practiced it, just because there is no suitable partner. As for Nian Nuer, that is his relative.
.
However, Mu Yi is not without gains. At least the Ghost King Flag has been slowly being refined by him with the power of his mind, and has a slight connection with his mind. Maybe it won't be long before he can repair the Ghost King Flag and regain its power.
.
In this way, when Mu Yi travels around the world in the future, he will have another way to defend himself.
"Yes, that's what the daughter of that family said." Su Jinlun nodded. If it weren't for the bad influence, he wouldn't have come to invite Mu Yi. Although Mu Yi is now nominally a worshiper of the Su family, there are still people like this.
Use a little less stuff.
"Okay, I'll go down the mountain with you." Mu Yi said directly. Now that he had decided, Mu Yi no longer hesitated and asked Su Jinlun to wait in the mountain temple first. He came to the bamboo forest behind and said to Nian Nuer,
After all, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to make it back in the evening after going down the mountain this time.
Although Nian Nuer also wanted to follow, it would be detrimental to her if the accompanying bamboo moved too frequently. As for the Ghost King Banner, it was a good place to stay temporarily, but Mu Yi always held it in his arms before it was completely refined.
There is a trace of caution, so Nian Nuer will not be allowed to enter there easily.
Therefore, Nian Nuer could only stay here, but Mu Yi also promised to come back as soon as possible.
After packing their bags, Mu Yi and Su Jinlun went down the mountain together.
Although the road was blocked by heavy snow, Su Jinlun walked by and it didn't take much effort to go down the mountain. After getting on the carriage at the bottom of the mountain, Mu Yi was welcomed into the house where the tragedy occurred.
At the door, Mu Yi looked at both sides of the door and suddenly asked: "The daughter of this family must have been married not long ago, right?"
"Yes, the son-in-law of this family is a door-to-door, and the wedding took place... Well, it seems that the Taoist priest happened to come to my house that day?" Su Jinlun explained, and he couldn't help but be surprised at the end.
"If so, it is indeed that day." Mu Yi nodded, thoughtfully. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the scene. At that time, he met the other party's welcoming team and clearly felt a special feeling in the groom's sedan.
The fluctuation was just because he was in a hurry to go to Su's house and it was a happy day for others, so he didn't care about it. But he didn't expect that just over two months later, something happened to the other party, and he was still skinned. Could this be the cause of all this?
Is it all related to the fluctuation he sensed back then?
Mu Yi couldn't be sure, at least not until he saw someone.
When Mu Yi entered the door, someone came to greet him at the same time. The first person was Su Chongshan. After all, he was the one who arranged for people to invite Mu Yi down. If he didn't come, it would undoubtedly be rude and would make Mu Yi feel sad.
Although he was dissatisfied, Su Chongshan obviously would not make such a mistake.
Next to him, there was an old man, dressed as a member of staff, with a handsome body, but a sad look on his face.
"Taoist Master, I'm sorry for the intrusion due to the weather, and please forgive me." Su Chongshan's posture was very low as soon as he came up.
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Su is being polite." Mu Yi replied. Faces were all mutual. It was not easy for Su Chongshan to treat him like this.
"Taoist Priest, this is Yuan Peng." Su Chongshan then introduced Mu Yi.
In fact, Su Jinlun had already told Mu Yi the details of this family on the way. The wealthy member in front of him was named Peng Songlai. He didn't have much in himself, but he had some property. The key was that he had two beautiful people.
Ruhua's daughter, the eldest daughter's husband is now the county magistrate of the county, the younger daughter was left at home and got a son-in-law, which was originally considered a good thing, with the eldest son-in-law supporting her outside, and the younger son-in-law continuing the family tradition.
But no one expected that just a few months after the happy event, there would be another funeral. Once this crucial incident came out, it would have a devastating blow to the reputation of their youngest daughter. Fortunately, the youngest daughter is now pregnant, otherwise he would
The Peng family is really going to die out.
Therefore, while Peng Yuanwai was angry at the murderer, he was also deeply afraid.
In fact, yesterday he sent someone to send a message to his eldest son-in-law, and the eldest son-in-law also immediately sent someone here. Not only did they have the police officers who solved the case, but they also had a coroner who did the autopsy. The son-in-law was skinned alive and then killed. It was the coroner who gave the
conclusion.
As for the police officers who investigated the case, they searched inside and out, but couldn't find any clues.
For this reason, Yuan Peng went to invite Su Chongshan. After all, the troubles caused by the Su family a while ago had spread throughout the town, and almost no one knew about it.
Su Chongshan obviously helped Peng Yuanwai not only because we were fellow villagers, but also because of Yuan Yuan Peng's eldest son-in-law who was the county magistrate.
"I'm here, Peng Song. I've met the Taoist priest!"
