The old demon of Montenegro wants to practice Taoism

The subordinates went to open the door according to the words, and it was the post officer of the post station who knocked on the door.He saw seven people in the courtyard looking at him in a row. Their eyes were definitely not beautiful. He broke out in cold sweat immediately, bent down and said, "My lords, two officials who escorted prisoners to Chang'an City came to this post today. , Who knew that the prisoner would die when he woke up from sleep."

The post officer coughed, emboldened himself, and said again: "The lower official is just a low-ranking low-rank official. He usually just changes horses for the adults and arranges board and lodging. How can we solve the case now? There are just a few of the biggest officials in this station, and I would like to invite some of you to the front yard to have a look, although the dead are prisoners, but...you will know when you go there."

It is not a good experience for anyone who sleeps until midnight to be woken up. The governor snorted coldly and took the lead to go out.When passing by the post officer, he patted his shoulder and said, "You speak clearly."

Shan Yangze followed behind the governor, and saw that although he did not use much strength, the post officer was obviously frightened and his legs went limp.

There are three small two-story buildings and a yard in the station.The courtyard where Shanyangze and the others live is only for officials above rank seven to rest. The small building on the west side is for official messengers and messengers. The small building in the middle is the largest. The upper floor is a large dining hall, and there is still a small building on the east side for travelers.

Ordinarily, the post station is considered a national property, and ordinary people are usually not allowed to live in it, but it is located on the plank road, the terrain is dangerous, and it is the throat of communication. Not to mention the imperial court does not allow it, even if it is allowed, there will be no one. Open an inn here.

If there is really no inn on this thousand-mile journey, there will be no merchants coming and going, so on the Shu road, every post station has such a small place for common people to live in.

A few people followed the post officer to the hall, and saw that the common people in the small building on the east side were all driven out and gathered in one place, and they saw them whispering.The post officer led the way and whispered: "Because I brought the prisoners, I arranged them in the innermost part of the second floor. The rooms opposite and next door were empty, and the two officers also said that they didn't hear the sound."

During the conversation, several people had already entered the house.

The prisoner's body had already been placed on the only table in the room, and the two guards sitting beside him were dejected and somewhat terrified. When they saw someone coming in, they knew it was Jin Yiwei, who was invited by the post officer, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Several My lord, this... the death of this person is really strange."

The Governor winked at one side of his head, and the two Jinyi guards behind him went forward to check whether there were any wounds on the prisoner's body, while Shan Yangze secretly made a gesture behind him, summoning the soul of this man, wanting to know the cause of death, it's nothing It is more convenient than calling the soul of the victim back to ask.

However, it was a bit strange that there was no response at all to this summoning.So Shan Yangze followed the two Jin Yiwei up to watch.There was no scar on the body of the corpse, except that there was a reddish-brown line on the side of the wrist near the thumb that had gradually deepened, which was normal. This was a place where shackles were worn, and there was nothing strange about the traces.

But what about the soul?In other words, where did the soul go.

Shan Yangze reached out and touched the seven chakras on his body, and the seven souls were separated normally, so the fate soul may also be taken away by ghost messengers.Shanyang Ze Xindao hadn't seen a ghost beckoning his soul for a long time because of the Huai Shu, and he was not used to such a sudden and normal one.

After Jin Yiwei finished looking at the corpse, he looked through the room again, and there was indeed nothing unusual. Although it is not common for people to die in dreams, it is not uncommon.At that moment, I asked for the paperwork of the two guards again, and it was indeed written "Escort one person to Chang'an", so he returned to the Governor and whispered: "It is indeed the same."

The governor nodded and said: "In that case, you should go back to your original place and return to your command."

The two guards nodded in agreement. They were frightened all night and broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that the matter was finally settled temporarily, they breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to wipe their sweat, but just as they raised their hands, Shan Yangze I saw that there were the same indentations on their wrists as on the corpses, except that one was red and the other was reddish brown.

wrong!These two are servants, how can there be indentations on the wrists that can only be caused by shackles!

That's what Jin Yiwei did. They noticed the same thing that Shan Yangze noticed. They immediately drew out their sabers, pointed at the two guards and said, "What the hell do you do! Where did the marks on your hands come from!"

The enemy was outnumbered, and the door was blocked again. The two officers looked at each other, knelt on the ground together and said, "Your Excellency, we are really the officers who escorted the prisoners to Chang'an!"

Shan Yangze took the document to look again, and found that the word was wrong, he pointed it out emphatically, and said: "Look at this word, does it seem that the upper and lower horizontal lines of three have been erased?"

Looking at it this way, it is likely that the guards escorted three prisoners to Chang'an, but they were killed by these prisoners on the road. Afterwards, the prisoners disguised themselves as guards, and they might want to change their identities to start over, but the first condition for them to become guards It was just that someone had to act as a prisoner, so because of this issue, several people had a dispute until one of them was killed.

Those two people were still kneeling on the ground, but the governor didn't have the patience to argue with them, and he didn't have the time to be the master of Qingtian, he rubbed his forehead and said: "Leaving aside how that person died, it's just internal strife. He looked at the postman and said, "Lock them up and send someone to deal with them when we get to Chang'an City. We still have some errands to do, and we have to leave tomorrow morning."

After all, this farce was resolved in less than half an hour.

So the group went back to the small courtyard again, sleeping when they should sleep, practicing what should be practiced, and then...

At daybreak, the gate of the courtyard was slapped again.

"My lord! My lord!" It was still the post officer, his voice even more panicked than last night, "He's dead again! Those two prisoners who pretended to be servants died last night!"

This time the post officer's head was almost lowered to the ground, and the sweat on his head was no longer sweat, but beads of sweat, "Go and have a look. After you left last night, I asked someone to lock the room on the second floor." At the door, there were two more people watching from the stairs. It was a quiet night without any movement. Unexpectedly, when the food was brought in in the morning, those two people also died! Their faces were serene, just like the one who died last night. "

The post officer trotted all the way to follow behind them, and whispered: "Could it be... there are ghosts..."

Speaking of ghosts, the Governor turned his head to look at Shan Yangze.

Shan Yangze frowned, and said: "Three died in one night, it must not be a normal death, and... go and see first."

A few people went to the house where three people had already died. There were two postmen guarding the door, and Shan Yangze stopped the Jin Yiwei guards behind him, saying: "You have a lot of yang energy, I'm afraid you will disturb the ghosts." He only let Guo Qian and Duzhu into the house.

In fact, strictly speaking, the person who entered the house was only a living person, the governor, so there was no serious problem.

Because three people died in a row, the room felt a bit eerie.The two people had no expression on their faces, Shan Yangze stepped forward to look, there was still no scar on his body, the only trace was the indentation of the shackles on his wrist.

Shan Yangze chanted a spell to call back the soul, and as expected, the soul of life disappeared without a trace.He said: "After a person dies, first the seven souls dissipate, then the heavenly soul ascends to the sky, the earthly soul enters the earth, and the fateful soul enters reincarnation. But now that the sun has come out, once the heavenly soul and the earthly soul are exposed to the sun, they will not be able to come back. gone."

The governor frowned, "In that case, let's go on the road."

Shan Yangze didn't agree, "These three people died so strangely, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a commotion downstairs.

"Ghost hitting the wall!"

"Can't get out!"

"We're going to die in this damn place!"

Shan Yangze rushed out the door, seeing the post officer with a pale face, lingering at the door of the room, seeing Shan Yangze coming out, he was overjoyed, and wiped out the even more incredible things that happened in the morning.

Because Shanyangze and the others have horses, they travel much faster, so they all walk on the road during the day, but many ordinary people who are on the road actually rely on their feet, so they basically start on the road at Yinshi, and walk on the road. Most of the hour, the genius will be bright.

So when Shanyangze and the others were called to get up, the first group of people had already started on the road, but there was a problem when they started on the road. At the beginning of the road, because it was still dark, it was actually not obvious, but when the sun started When it was ascending, it was foggy, but it is not uncommon to have fog in the mountains, and the road still needs to be walked.

However, the fog does not dissipate when you walk around, and you go around and around in the same place. In this way, some people will be afraid. Back to the station!

This was too scary. Originally, people died because of the station, and they wished to leave this unlucky place overnight, but they came back in this way, and immediately someone was so frightened that their legs went numb.

The post officer was also so frightened that his legs and feet were so weak, he pulled Shan Yangze and cried: "I have been in this post for three years, and this is the first time... It turns out that death is not so scary~" At the end, The post officer couldn't help hiccupping himself, "It can't really be a ghost hitting the wall!"

After hearing what the post officer said, Shan Yangze thought that since it was dawn, it would definitely not be a ghost hitting the wall, but if it was true as the post officer said, then the abnormality of this post station must be related to the three people who died with strange causes.If the spell is not cracked right now, the few of them will not be able to get away.

Thinking of this, Shan Yangze was a little annoyed that he didn't go out with Huaishu. With him, let alone the soul of fate, the soul of heaven and earth would also come for a stroll.

But... there is another way.Shan Yangze said seriously: "You guys look at the door, absolutely don't allow anyone to come in!"

After speaking, he shook off the postman's hand and went in again.

Shan Yangze glanced at Guo Qian, Guo Qian nodded to him, he already understood what he was going to do, but he didn't have such a tacit understanding with the governor, Shan Yangze said: "I want to summon the soul, you don't want to do it later Make a sound."

The governor felt that something was wrong, why did he stay in the soul-calling. "Since that's the case, it's good to have you, a Taoist boy, accompany you to cast spells. If I startle the ghost, won't it ruin your event."

Shan Yangze stretched out his hand to help him on the face, the Governor only felt weak and wanted to collapse, only to hear Shan Yangze say: "I have to borrow your body. The Heavenly Soul can't be summoned back, only the Fate Soul It is more certain to do it on the night of returning to the soul, so only the earth soul is left. Although the earth soul enters the earth, the most attractive thing to lonely ghosts is still the body without an owner." Besides, the governor is a eunuch , the yang energy on the body is weaker than that of ordinary people, so it is naturally the best upper body.

As Shanyangze's words fell, the governor only felt his world spinning for a while, and he fell down and passed out.

Shan Yangze put the Governor on the table, and saw him lying softly, with a serene face and his chest rising and falling gently.Shan Yangze hit him a few more times, and touched the branches of the locust tree, and saw seven small black dots first appeared on the governor's body, which was grabbed by Shan Yangze in the palm of his hand, and then three human-shaped souls appeared Come.

I saw one of the souls with the clearest outline, staring fiercely at Shan Yangze, Shan Yangze pretended not to see it, grabbed it with his big hand again, and put the governor's three souls and seven souls in a bronze box to stay up.

In other words, the governor was locked in a dark room.

Shan Yangze and Guo Qian looked at each other, and both of them appeared as monsters.

The guards in Jinyi and Yi Ding, who were guarding the gate outside, felt that the wind was blowing, and the temperature dropped several degrees.The doors and windows of the inn were all papered, and there was still a little light in the past, but now the room is completely dark, and nothing can be seen.

Several guards in Jinyi shuddered, thinking that the inside was the Dazheng personally appointed by the emperor, so they turned their heads away from looking inside, and continued to watch the door.

In the house, the burning locust tree branches are used to attract souls. Guo Qian's ghost body is to increase Yin Qi and let those lonely ghosts relax their vigilance. Come on, it can be regarded as a kind of land. Besides, according to the trend of the dragon veins in the Huaxia Dynasty, Kunlun is the ancestor of the dragon veins. His Montenegro is much closer to Kunlun than this Daba Mountain, so the attraction of his land should be stronger. many.

Three-pronged approach, if the person who died last night had not been wiped away by the sun, one would come out anyway.

Sure enough, after a while, a vague human figure appeared in the room. He first moved to the locust tree branch to smell it, then rubbed against Shan Yangze, and stretched out his paws to scare Guo Qian away. Then his stature skyrocketed, and he suddenly rushed towards the innocent body on the table!

Seeing that it was only an inch away from the body, the ghost seemed to be bound by something suddenly, its hands and feet were tied together and could not move, Shan Yangze smiled, and lit half of the ordinary incense to nourish the earth soul. Make up.

The soul of the earth was nourished, and its face gradually became clear. From this point of view, it seemed that it was the first person who died last night.In this way, the souls of the two souls who died in the morning have already been exposed to the sun, but this one, because he died in the middle of the night, has not yet been exposed to the sun.

It's just that the earth soul still relies on the physical body to exist. Without the physical body, the earth soul can only persist until the night of returning to the soul at most.

Shan Yangze didn't delay, and said directly: "How did you die?"

Earth Soul was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Gold."
