Chapter 1320 Are you afraid that you will come again?
These words made Jimo Qiao almost laugh out loud, and she thought to herself: Thank you for being able to figure it out!
Chai Yan stood up unhurriedly and said to Zhang Xuechao's wife: "Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, please take Pindao to the backyard."
"Backyard?" Zhang Xuechao's wife asked.
Chai Yan said: "Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, since the accident happened to your husband in the backyard, then the poor man will naturally have to do the thing in the backyard, don't you think so?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang immediately said: "Yes, yes, the Immortal Chief said yes, my daughter-in-law, hurry up and lead the way for the Immortal Chief Immortal."
Zhang Xuechao's wife nodded hurriedly and responded: "Ah, Immortal Chief, Immortal Aunt, please come here..."
As soon as he followed Zhang Xuechao's wife and took a step inside, Chai Yan turned around and said to the shopkeeper behind him: "Shopkeeper, just stay here and wait for Pindao to come out."
The shopkeeper was stunned and said hurriedly: "But Immortal, I also want to see you doing things, how about..."
Chai Yan did not stop him, but said: "If you want to go in, Pindao will not stop you. But if you get into trouble later, don't blame Pindao for not warning you."
"Evil... evil spirit?" The shopkeeper was startled.
Chai Yan nodded seriously and said seriously: "Yes, the male owner of this family was poisoned to death by an unknown poison for no reason. The resentment must be very deep. The resentment will turn into evil spirit after a long time.
It’s really not a blessing to have evil spirits lingering around you!”
"Really...really?" The innkeeper immediately gave up the idea of following up.
Zhang Xuechao's wife originally thought her husband's death was very suspicious and strange, and she had been feeling uneasy in the past two days. Now she was even more frightened after hearing Chai Yan's words.
"Immortal, does that... that evil spirit also... also..." Zhang Xuechao's wife's voice trembled slightly.
Chai Yan raised his hand and comforted him: "Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, don't worry too much. Although the shopkeeper is familiar with you, he is a neighbor and an outsider after all, and you are his wife and a family member. As long as you are honest and clear in your heart, the evil spirit will not
It will haunt you."
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "Yes, daughter-in-law, you and Xue Chao are the most affectionate on weekdays. How can those evil spirits harm you... No, no, absolutely not!"
Zhang Xuechao's wife felt relieved and said with relief: "That's good, that's good."
After saying that, Zhang Xuechao's wife invited Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao to the backyard again.
After the three of them disappeared, Madam Zhang said to the shopkeeper: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper. As for the Immortal and the Immortal Aunt, please feel free to leave them to us to take care of them. Your inn is also busy, so you should go back first."
"
The shopkeeper was naturally embarrassed to say that he had to wait for the immortal to grow up and then go to his home to have a look, so he had no choice but to agree: "That's all right, Mrs. Zhang, then I'll excuse you."
Then, the shopkeeper bowed to Zhang Xuechao's coffin and left the Zhang family's yard.
On the other side, Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao were led by Zhang Xuechao's wife into the Zhang family's backyard.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and it was estimated that it would be completely dark in the blink of an eye.
Under such light, and because there had been so many deaths in this place, the backyard seemed very dark and secluded. Even if there was no wind, it still gave people a shuddering feeling of howling cold wind.
In Chaiyan's opinion, the backyard is quite spacious. There is a small tree planted in the corner on the left, a large fish tank placed on the right wall, and a small square table and a bamboo lounge chair that feel quite leisurely placed in the middle of the yard.
.
Just as Chai Yan was carefully observing everything in the backyard, he suddenly felt someone behind him leaning slightly closer to him.
Turning around, he saw that it was Jimo Qiao who was afraid and had shrunk his neck to get closer to him.
"What are you doing?" Chai Yan asked in a low voice, lifting his waist and touching her.
Jimo Qiao frowned and whispered: "I...I'm a little scared..."
"Afraid you'll come again?" Chai Yan frowned and shouted.
Jimo Qiao said unhappily: "I didn't know this place was so gloomy..."
While the two were talking, Zhang Xuechao's wife was lighting lamps in the backyard. Chai Yan didn't want the other party to see Jimo Qiao's fear and cowardice, so he quickly reminded him: "Stand up straight and be serious!"
Jimo Qiao had no choice but to muster up the courage to straighten his back and at the same time tighten his expression, appearing fearless and serious.
Because Jimo Qiao also knows in his heart that any Taoist priest who can catch monsters and do things will not be so timid. Otherwise, there will be problems with the appointment!
In just a few words, Zhang Xuechao's wife had already lit an oil lamp in the backyard.
"Chief Immortal, Immortal Aunt, what should we do now?" Zhang Xuechao's wife asked.
Chai Yan did not speak, but took Jimo Qiao around the square table in the yard, and finally stopped next to the bamboo couch and asked: "Sister-in-law Zhang, does your husband usually sit here and drink tea?"
?”
"Yes, Immortal, he died on this recliner two nights ago." Zhang Xuechao's wife said sadly.
Chai Yan paused and asked: "Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, since your husband was poisoned to death, why are you so anxious to deal with the funeral arrangements? Hasn't the Yamen not solved the case yet?"
Zhang Xuechao's wife sighed: "To be honest, the people in the government office have said that they probably won't be able to solve this case, because there seems to have been similar cases in the town before. Like my husband, they were all so poisoned."
Dead, it is said that the murderer has not been caught in the past few years. Later, I heard that there might be unclean things in the house, so my mother and I decided to ask the immortal to catch the demon and exorcise it."
Chai Yan was surprised after hearing this, and an idea came to his mind unknowingly: Could it be that there is a murderer hidden in this town who likes to use poison to kill people?
"ah!"
At this moment, Jimo Qiao suddenly let out a scream.
Chai Yan was startled and quickly turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Xuechao's wife was also frightened so much that her expression suddenly changed and she trembled violently.
Jimo Qiao shrank his neck, pointed to an eaves in the backyard and said: "There are... there are bats..."
Chai Yan followed what he was pointing and saw that there were indeed two bats, one large and one small, hovering near the eaves, sometimes flying high and sometimes lowering.
Chai Yan shook his head and said, "It's just two bats that scared you like this..."
Jimo Qiao moved his steps and got away from the bat before saying: "They all say that bats can suck the blood of people and livestock, which is very scary!"
Chai Yan said: "Who said that? Vampire bats are not found everywhere, and these two are obviously not the ones."
"How do you know it's not?" Jimo Qiao asked.
Chai Yan said: "If so, wouldn't they have flown down to attack us long ago?"
Jimo Qiao said sternly: "Maybe... maybe they are still full and don't want to suck blood now?"
"I'm too lazy to tell you." Chai Yan turned his head after saying this.
At this time, Zhang Xuechao's wife looked at the bats and said, "Don't be afraid, fairy. These are not vampire bats. They like to come out and fly around at this time. We can often see them."
"Oh, that's it, then I...then I'm not afraid anymore."
Jimo Qiao nodded, actually feeling a little timid.
"Okay, let's get down to business!"
Next, Chai Yan placed the yellow paper and red ink on the small square table and began to prepare for the ceremony and draw the talisman.
