"Why didn't you report to the demon slayer?"
Qin Feng knows that many evil spirits will become stronger with time. If the strange incident in Goose City really came from this haunted house, if the evil things inside were eradicated ten years ago, so many people would not die now. .
The county magistrate explained embarrassingly: "I'm afraid of troublesome adults who kill the monsters, not to mention that there are not many casualties in the follow-up, as long as this haunted house is isolated."
This is true, no one wants to make trouble, not to mention asking the demon slayer to help, it is also a manifestation of lack of ability as the master of a place.
The county magistrate of Goose City urgently called for help this time because things were out of control. The evil in the haunted house can be ignored, it will not come out to hurt people, but the monster who kills in the dream is different, it is indiscriminate killing.
Ji Ning sneered and said, "If that evil thing really came from this haunted house, you will also have an incurable crime!"
"Yes, the subordinate is guilty." The county magistrate put on a bitter face and did not refute. The most important thing right now is to get rid of the evil.
After some discussion, a group of people have arrived at the door of the haunted house.
The gate of the haunted house was sealed by the government. Qin Feng stepped forward to tear off the seal and said, "Enter the house!"
Qin Feng and Ji Ning entered the house first, and the county magistrate and yamen servants followed in fear, breathing carefully.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
A certain ghostly business man took out a bunch of useless peace talismans and said in a low voice, "This is the peace talisman I just asked for from the temple last week. It's one tael of silver each. Do you want it?"
"You butchered a pig, what kind of broken talisman would cost a tael of silver?"
"Give me one, life is important! Lihua from Zuichunlou is still waiting for me to redeem her."
"Give me one too, so what, can I get a [-]% discount?"
The magistrate of the county saw all the comments of the yamen servants, and scolded: "Quiet! What are you doing? Surprised, let the lord of the demon slayer see a joke, confiscated!"
The county magistrate put all the confiscated safety charms into his pockets, and held one in each of his left and right hands, thinking in his heart: "Bodhisattva bless you, please don't come after me."
Qin Feng couldn't laugh or cry, but found that Ji Ning's expression suddenly became serious, and followed her gaze, looking in the direction of the county magistrate.
What the yamen servants and the county magistrate couldn't see was that on the county magistrate's left shoulder lay a female ghost with disheveled hair. The female ghost smiled strangely at everyone.
"Fire!"
Qin Feng picked up the fire talisman and hit the female ghost. The magistrate shouted in panic: "My lord, are you reading it wrong? I'm not a ghost!"
Until the fire talisman passed by and seemed to hit something in the air, the county magistrate's entire back was wet, and he quickly ran to Qin Feng's side and tugged at his sleeve, not letting go no matter what.
The dirty thing just now was actually on the shoulder. I was afraid to think about it!
Qin Feng was speechless, what was the matter being hugged by such a fat man.
"Let go, I want to work with Deacon Ji to solve this ghost." Qin Feng abruptly pulled the magistrate's hand away, cooperated with Ji Ning, and used a "spirit-capturing talisman" to successfully capture the female ghost.
Qin Feng chanted the "Rebirth Curse" to save the female ghost. The female ghost's fierce face gradually calmed down, and she bowed deeply to him before leaving.
The female ghost didn't want to harm people by nature, but she lost her mind by accident and became a evil ghost who harmed people.
After Qin Feng's enlightenment, she was finally able to reincarnate, but because she had done too many bad things, she would definitely experience some punishment and torture in the underworld.
Of course, this is not something Qin Feng needs to consider. To save the souls of the dead is the duty of a cultivator.
"It seems that the person in this haunted house is not the real murderer." Ji Ning shook her head regretfully, but she also thought that things are not that simple. Evil ghosts are scary and incomprehensible in the eyes of ordinary people. In the eyes of people, it is still easy to deal with.
That murderous evil thing is a thousand times more terrifying than evil spirits!
"My lord, how do I feel? I feel powerless..." The county magistrate's face turned pale. He was frightened just now, but now it is indeed due to weakness.
Qin Feng took a few glances and took out a piece of yellow paper: "It's just bewitched. Take this talisman and mix it with water to make talisman water. Drink it and you'll be fine."
"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"
If the county magistrate found a treasure, he thanked him again and again.
The yamen servants on the side laughed secretly. The county magistrate who usually oppresses them and is domineering is like a loyal dog in front of the demon slaying master. It is really funny.
The evil thing was not in the haunted house, so everyone retreated naturally.
It's not like nothing was gained, at least the evil spirits in the house were saved.
Qin Feng said to the county magistrate: "It is useless for you to follow us, why not go back and wait for our news?"
The county magistrate was just about to smile and agree, but after thinking about it, he put on a straight face: "My lord, what are you talking about? I am a magistrate, and I should think of the people! Even if it is useless to follow, I have to follow. This is a matter of attitude. "
Qin Feng tried not to laugh, if he didn't see that the county magistrate was an idiot, he would have been deceived by his righteous words.
"It's up to you, follow if you want." Qin Feng doesn't care about these details, the most important thing now is to catch evil things.
"Hey! It's also good to be able to learn from adults and gain insights."
The county magistrate was all smiles, but he was terrified in his heart, and wanted to run away with oil on his feet a long time ago.
It's just that people who have never been in contact with demon slaying priests before thought they were just priests pretending to be gods and ghosts. Now that they saw the evil spirits surrendered with their own eyes, they became friends with Qin Feng and Ji Ning.
If similar weird things happen in the future, there is no need to report them, just invite them over in private.
Not to mention, there are indeed quite a few people in Demon Slaying Division who take on "private jobs" outside, but taking on private jobs also requires certain skills.
If this situation is bad, you won't even get a pension.
Closer to home!
Ji Ning activated the compass again, this time the compass pointed to the north of the city, a completely different direction.
"Is there a haunted house in the north of the city?"
Ji Ning asked in advance this time, so as not to encounter any haunted house again. Although exorcising evil spirits is also part of the job, the most important thing is to find the real murderer first, and the haunted house can be discussed later.
The county magistrate and several yamen servants thought about it, and after discussing it for a while, they all shook their heads.
"set off!"
After Ji Ning gave an order, the group headed forward again.
According to the compass, I came to an ordinary family. The house was a thatched cottage with a small yard surrounded by a fence.
Hearing so many people coming, the watchdog in the yard barked.
"Screw you!"
The county magistrate kicked the guard dog away, and ordered the opponent: "Open the door!"
The appearance of giving orders seems to have restored the majesty of the former county magistrate.
He didn't ask the opinions of the people in the house at all, and sent people to break the door directly.
No matter how strong the door of a small family can be, it was kicked open by two yamen servants.
On the bed, a farmer sat up, frightened and panicked, thinking it was robbers.
He fixed his eyes and saw a group of people standing at the door. They were all holding torches, and they could clearly see that they were people from the government.
"Guys, what are you doing?"
Although the farmer was full of resentment, he knew that the people would not fight with the officials, so he held back his anger and asked.
The county magistrate arrogantly ordered: "Stop rambling! Let me ask you, have you noticed any evil?"
"Evil?"
Naturally, the farmer had also heard about the strange things that happened in the city, and he said with a confused face: "What's wrong with my family, it's just me and my wife."
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared straight at the peasant's wife who was sleeping soundly.
The farmer got angry, patted the bed and said, "What are you doing? Why are you staring at my wife?"
"Don't you think it's weird that your daughter-in-law hasn't woken up after we made such a big commotion?" Qin Feng was amused. The farmer's daughter-in-law is dark and fat, how could he have any thoughts about her.
However, it is also understandable that Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder. In the eyes of the farmer, her daughter-in-law is still very beautiful and cannot be desecrated by others.
After what Qin Feng said, the farmer also realized that something was wrong, but he still said angrily: "My daughter-in-law and I go to work in the field during the day. After a tiring day, she naturally sleeps more deeply at night."
A certain yamen servant joked, "It's not just about work, is it?"
The room is full of people who have been there, and there is a smell in the air. The couple probably just finished their work and went to bed.
The county magistrate reprimanded the gag servant: "The dog can't spit out ivory. The adults are handling the case. What dirty words are you talking about?"
"Daughter-in-law, wake up, daughter-in-law! Cuihua, Liu Cuihua!"
The farmer was a little anxious, and in order to prove his innocence, he wanted his daughter-in-law to wake up quickly, but her daughter-in-law let him yell loudly, and she didn't even respond at all.
Seeing this, the man made up his mind and slapped the woman on the face.
This slap really took a lot of strength, it was very crisp, a red slap mark appeared on the woman's face, and she continued to fall asleep.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Faced with this situation, even a fool would know that there is something wrong with this woman.
The farmer burst into tears, slapped his daughter-in-law slapped left and right, and cursed: "You fucking Li Cuihua, wake up quickly! Aren't you very energetic just now? Wake up!"
The woman closed her eyes and remained motionless. If she was not breathing, her reaction would be no different from that of a dead person.
The county magistrate was overjoyed, and ordered his subordinates: "Come on, kill this woman, and wipe out the evil for my goose city!"
"Wait!"
Ji Ning stopped the county magistrate and looked at him mentally: "This cannot be solved by killing her, she is also a victim."
"that is!"
The farmer quickly agreed: "My daughter-in-law can eat and sleep during the day, and she has great strength, so she is not evil."
"Come on, let me check."
Qin Feng wanted to check it carefully, but the farmer said hesitantly: "Can you let me put on clothes for my daughter-in-law first..."
There is no such thing as pajamas these days, and the two of them just finished their work before, so they are not wearing anything under the quilt.
"Okay, hurry up, your wife will be in danger if you slow down."
Qin Feng took the initiative to retreat, and the county magistrate had no choice but to follow. After everyone had retreated, the farmer hurriedly dressed the woman, and wiped his tears while dressing: "Cuihua, why are you so busy?" So hard?"
After a while, the clothes were passed on and the tears were wiped away. He called everyone into the house.
