"We soul hunters will leave their bodies at night, find the souls of the dead, and take them to where they should go. Last night, I knew that this woman was going to die, so I went there. It was just right.
I saw you, and you were surprised to see her look like that, right? Because early the next morning, there was such a tragic murder in their house."
After listening to what the old man said, I realized that no wonder I saw him dragging the woman out of his home that night. It turned out that the woman had been killed at that time. I just didn’t know who killed her.
.I think this old man must know the truth of this matter!
"Uncle, since you went to his house, you must know how this woman died."
"I really don't know about this. I'm a soul catcher. I definitely won't know about the person before they're dead, and I won't pass by. So by the time I pass by, they must be dead. This woman is dead.
I didn't see the whole process, but I saw an important detail, that is, her husband was holding a bloody knife in his hand."
"I was actually suspicious of his husband. That day we went there and asked him to allow us to stay for one night, but he refused us directly, saying it was inconvenient. But his wife died the next day, and I felt strange."
"As a ghost hunter, even if I know the truth, I will not reveal the secret. I cannot change the direction in which things should develop. Many times, I will receive information before someone dies.
I informed them that many of them are villagers I know, but I can still only watch and wait for their final death before I go to fulfill my duty as a soul catcher."
It’s not easy to be a soul hunter. I have to watch people die every day, and I’m sure my heart will be disturbed. I suddenly remembered the accident that day when we were entangled in soul calling flags. I wonder if this uncle has anything to do with this.
Understand. I still want to understand.
"Uncle, on the way here, we encountered something in a field. I don't know if you know it. We saw sticks stuck in the cemetery and white smoke was floating. We stopped to use a toilet.
Time, I was entangled in this white smoke. My friend knew that this was a soul-calling flag. We had to go through a lot of hard work to get rid of that annoying thing. I think we are quite wealthy here, and we are not backward.
In the mountain village, how come there are still people making soul-calling flags?"
"Soul-calling flags, no one has used this method here for a long time, but recently a Taoist priest came to our place. I heard that he was very powerful, and people have been dying one after another recently. This Taoist priest appeared, and we villagers
I also particularly believed in him. I don’t know where this Taoist priest came up with this crooked way. That is, people are not cremated after death. They are buried directly like this, and then they insert bamboo poles, which are what you call soul-calling flags. I don’t know the details, but this
I don’t think Taoist priests are good people, but they make a lot of money here.”
"Is this Taoist priest still in our village?"
"I don't know when he will leave. Everyone here treats him like a living god. He is a popular food and drink hot food. I don't think he has any real ability, but I haven't seen him in the past few days. I don't know.
Where are you wandering around again?"
Without thinking, I guessed that this Taoist priest must be some kind of charlatan. Now, although people are rich, they still blame it on ghosts and monsters whenever something happens that they cannot understand. This Taoist priest is also a charlatan. You just do it casually.
It's okay to hold a Dharma ceremony. What kind of crooked idea is that? I'm afraid not enough people have died because of the soul-calling flags! The good thing this time is that we were passing by. If others would have died long ago, the few of us would have died too.
Xiaobai could think of a way, and in the end, we had a false alarm and we solved it.
"Uncle, I'm going back first."
"Wait a minute, young man, I see that you are not an ordinary person. You are not too surprised when you see me like this. I know that you are not an ordinary person. I have told you, and I hope you can keep it secret and don't tell others about my identity.
Ah. People in our village only know that I am a strange old man, but they don’t know that this is actually what I do every day. Please!”
"I know, I will definitely keep it a secret, sir."
When I returned to the village chief's house, I found Xiaobai and Ye Qing and told them what I learned from the uncle. But I also learned that after the police investigation, an important clue was drawn.
The fingerprints on the dagger were only that of the deceased's husband, and the injuries on the deceased's body also completely matched those of her husband, so we could almost figure out who the murderer was.
Therefore, the police once again asked us to go to the police station to make a record. When we arrived, we saw that the man looked completely different from the day when his wife had just died. He was expressionless and very cold that day, but today he was very emotional.
He was in pain all the time, and kept arguing that he was not the one who killed the person, and he really didn't know anything. When he came to his senses, he was already at the police station.
This also gave the police a headache. Why were they so indifferent that day, as if they had nothing to do with them, but they are like this today? Is it because they are afraid of being caught, so they are deliberately pretending? They even say that they don’t know anything. Is it difficult?
If not, he would accidentally kill his wife while sleepwalking.
However, the few of us have almost ruled out the suspect's crime, but it is best not to leave first, because more than one person has died recently, so we were asked by the local police to stay and cooperate with the investigation. So for a while, we still
We have to stay here for now and don't leave for now, since we don't have a specific place to go anyway.
When we returned to the village chief's home, I saw the Taoist priest who had always interested me, talking to the village chief. After we went there, the village chief introduced this powerful Taoist priest to us enthusiastically.
"Let me introduce to you, this is our very powerful master, we all respectfully call him Mr. Ma." When we heard the introduction from the village chief, we all smiled, and our hearts were as clear as a mirror. I felt like, this
Are they the brothers of Taoist Master Ma from Xiongtou Mountain? Even the deception methods are the same. They both still have the surname Ma, but this one seems to be a bit more advanced because he can still be called Mr.
However, although we thought it was funny, we didn't show it and still said hello very politely.
"Hello, Mr. Ma. I am very honored to meet the master. I used to have a friend named Ma, and by coincidence, he is also a Taoist priest. Do you think we are particularly destined?"
"Oh, it's quite fate to say that. I hope you can meet your friend that day if you have a chance."
"It's unfortunate that this friend of mine died young. Otherwise, he could have studied with an expert like you. I can't say it anymore. I feel sad just thinking about it." After saying that, I looked at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing has been trying not to laugh, because that Taoist Master Ma was taught a lesson by Ye Qing back then. I still remember the tragic situation at that time.
At that time, Brother Li and I were beaten up by the evil Taoist Master Ma, and tied to a stand by the ignorant villagers. The fire was so fierce that Brother Li and I had fainted, but Ye Qing came out to save us.
Taoist Master Ma was also killed by Ye Qing. It was at that time that I really saw Ye Qing's true power, and realized that Ye Qing was so powerful and could kill people without blinking an eye.
Therefore, when we see this man playing tricks here, taking the opportunity to make money, and pretending to be an outsider, we are reminded of Taoist Master Ma.
"By the way, village chief, I would like to ask you something. On the way here, we saw a lot of white flags in many people's fields. I wonder what that means? Is it our local custom?"
"Oh, this is a unique secret skill given to us by our Mr. Ma. Our village has not been very peaceful recently, so our Mr. Ma told us that if someone dies again, they should bury it like that.
