Chapter 117 For the arrangement, encircle it on all sides
Walking out of the firewood gate of the yard, Zhang Wenfeng wiped his finger with a little mucus in the cave under the bed, put it close to the donkey's nose, and said through the voice: "Smell it again, is it the eel smell? Is it left by the same monster?"
"It's the same monster. The smell is very obvious, it's the sticky smell of eels."
The donkey replied definitely.
Zhang Wenfeng didn't say much. He was worried that a second monster would appear.
Everyone then went to another house, where the deceased were all men in their forties.
After entering the house, I burned incense and chanted sutras, then checked on the deceased. Then I went to the bedroom. As expected, there was a smooth hole the size of two fingers under the bed. The remaining mucus had dried. I asked the family members some similar questions.
Donkey discovered that the deceased's wife also had a demonic aura that was difficult for ordinary people to smell.
It still transmits a sound transmission to inform the patron of the discovery.
The same was true for the third family. After examining the bodies of the two dead Taoist priests and going to the dock for exploration, it was already almost noon. The village leader led everyone to the house and shouted to his daughter-in-law and old woman to quickly gather lunch and prepare for Fengsheng.
.
People in the village were in panic, not knowing whose family would suffer tonight.
Therefore, we had to take care of the adults from the Daolu branch who were specially assigned to deal with ghosts.
Yun Qiuhe took Zhang and Chen into the west wing of the house specially arranged by Cunzheng.
The three of them sat down and the door was closed.
"Guanzhu Zhang, after looking around, you can tell me now. We don't have much time. We must catch the culprit as soon as possible. Every day of delay is a life."
As the person in charge of this case, Yun Qiuhe looked at Zhang Wenfeng.
If she still couldn't find the monster's whereabouts, she would immediately ask another expert to track it down.
She led people to check several times inside and outside the village, but found nothing suspicious.
Zhang Wenfeng did not shirk anymore and said: "According to my observation and analysis, the person who committed the murder this time is most likely a male 'moon eel demon'. His intelligence is not too high. This demon is good at drilling into the ground, is extremely slippery, and has a huge body."
Quite small.
I asked Muramasa whether the two Taoist priests who performed the ritual the night before jumped into the water by themselves.
The village chief and the village elder were close and could see clearly that it was definitely not what the villagers said there was in the water that caught the two of them. The water under the pier was less than one person high and they jumped in without even struggling. Xiao Quan
The head has already admitted that when they went to retrieve the body, the body was actually lying on the muddy ground by the river and was not soaked in water. Therefore, this demon is good at some kind of illusion.
It is recorded in the classics that the male 'Moon-watching Eel Demon' is sexually evil and likes to cling to human women for intercourse, and sucks the essence of mature men to nourish itself. Women who have been attached to it will leave demonic aura within a few days, and there will be mucus residue on the dead body.
The evidence all fits together.”
Yun Qiuhe listened to Zhang Guanzhu's analysis one by one, and also remembered this kind of obscene monster that he had heard of before.
She saw the hole under the bed and guessed it was caused by some kind of demonic snake or some kind of demonic insect that was good at burrowing into the ground.
I didn't expect it to be a water demon, or a moon-watching eel demon that could crawl on the shore so unexpectedly.
He slapped the table and shouted: "This beast must be killed!"
This monster ruins women's integrity, harms women's husbands, and does many evil things. She hates it very much.
Thinking of something else, the voice message warned: "Don't let the villagers know about the evil nature of the moon-watching eel demon, otherwise the village will gossip and gossip, and it will be difficult for the three women to survive."
She is very careful and thoughtful about some things.
Zhang Wenfeng and Chen Guanzhu nodded and said, "I understand, I won't spread the word."
Yun Qiuhe said bitterly again: "This monster must be killed..."
Zhang Wenfeng "booed" and used the group sound transmission technique he had newly learned in the late stage of Huaqi Realm. The two people said: "Fellow Daoist Yun, please don't mention its name. If you have anything to say, we will use the sound transmission technique.
Don't disturb that monster."
Some monsters are naturally sensitive and cannot call their names.
Of course, Guanzhu Zhang didn't know whether the moon-watching eel demon had this miraculous sense, so he gave the instructions to the two of them just in case.
The moon eel was too slippery to catch, so he couldn't be too cautious.
"Understood, I won't talk nonsense. I remember that using salt grains can restrain the moon-watching eel demon so that it cannot change size. There are many people in the village. It will be difficult to persuade them to move away for a while, and there is a lot of noise.
If the monster hiding in its lair is alerted, even if we set a trap in the village, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attract the monster to take the bait..."
Yun Qiuhe knew how to restrain himself, but he was a little embarrassed to convey the message.
It took half a day to move and resettle the entire village, as well as the animals. Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.
Chen Qingqiao took a new look at Zhang Guanzhu, who had always been gentle and polite. Although he was young, he was experienced and experienced. He came to Xiahe Village after him and analyzed the case clearly after just looking around.
He felt that he had learned a lot.
"To deal with the monster, I have a magic weapon that can do my best. I just don't know where the monster will come ashore tonight? It must be exterminated at once and cannot let it escape. Otherwise, it will be troublesome for it to escape back into the water."
Chen Qingqiao's cultivation was not in the late stage of Huaqi, so he transmitted the message to two people separately.
He has the magic weapon at his side and he really wants to do his part. He can't just be a yes man. This case is basically clear and he has to show his own value.
Because Master's affairs have affected the reputation of Qingshui Temple and his future, he must make more contributions.
He had long seen that Zhang Guanzhu had some hostile prejudices against him since they first met him in Xihezhou Town.
Zhang Wenfeng sent a message and said: "There is no need for the villagers to move away. Fellow Taoist Yun, could you please arrange the manpower to go to the town to buy thirty or forty kilograms of fine salt, enough for each household to share a bowl, and also prepare some yellow charms, which can be arranged like this
.”
He already has a way to deal with the monsters, and there is no need to move the villagers away and go to war.
Monsters can be stupid, but their intelligence should not be underestimated.
After discussing for a while, Yun Qiuhe stood up and said, "I will arrange for people to go to the two nearby towns to purchase items."
She worked vigorously and resolutely, and went out to wake up her subordinates who were resting in other rooms. Last night, the subordinates she brought with her worked hard all night without a wink, and took advantage of their free time in the morning to adjust their breath.
After returning from shopping, we had lunch at Muramasa's house.
Yun Qiuhe led his men, accompanied by Inspector Xiao, to distribute a small bowl of fine salt from house to house, and posted a new yellow talisman drawn on the door of each house, telling the hostess of each household how to use the powdered salt.
Sprinkle it on the bed mats and floor of the room at home, sprinkle it on the livestock shed, and teach women how to pay attention to it when sleeping at night, etc.
She took the opportunity to look under the bed where the hostess of each house slept.
After a lot of hard work, only when the sun was about to set, all the fine salt was distributed to more than 60 households in the village.
She specifically emphasized that this was made from salt, specially used to deal with dirty things.
Otherwise, there is no chance that some woman will swallow half of the life-saving salt.
Most of the people in the village eat light food and cannot eat less than half a bowl of salt all year round.
After Yun Qiuhe came to the house to put up yellow charms and give away fine salt for cooking, the village finally regained some vitality.
In the evening, a simple altar was set up in the courtyard of Muramasa's house. Two Taoist priests from the Daolu branch in formal robes held mahogany swords and shook the Sanqing Dharma bell. They jumped up and down on the stage and chanted sutras as if they were opera singers. The text is about performing rituals to ward off evil spirits.
Even if it is for the moon-watching eel demon who may be hiding by the river in the dark, the two Taoist priests who do it have no real skills.
In order to stabilize the people's hearts in the village, the government is sending people to perform rituals so that evil spirits do not dare to invade.
After the shock the night before, not many people came to watch the ceremony tonight.
After watching it for a while, I quickly went home.
Zhang Wenfeng, Yun Qiuhe, and Chen Qingqiao lurked at the farmer's house where Yun Qiuhe found clues, waiting for the moon-watching eel demon to come to their door.
As the night got darker, the watchmen didn't dare to go out, so they just banged their clappers and shouted a few times in their own homes.
The grass terrace making team in Muramasa's yard also ended early.
It was just when there was silence that suddenly a shout came from far away in the night sky: "Where are you going, you bastard?"
Zhang Wenfeng and Yun Qiuhe jumped out from the courtyards at the east and west ends of the village.
A donkey appeared in the woods by the river with its ears cocked.
Surrounded from all sides, go and kill the monsters.
