Returning from the abyss

Chapter 682
Early the next morning, everyone began to investigate around Zaoyuanzhuang.However, as Qian Yipeng said, the Zaoyuanzhuang marked on the map includes the old garden and a small area at the foot of the mountain. The actual Zaoyuanzhuang is much larger than this.

Lu Ning got up in the morning and took a walk around Xiaheshao. This settlement is not densely populated, but there are hundreds of households, and following the local customs, the doorways have also begun to be decorated with red for the New Year. Walking on the road You can also smell some burning incense. It is very difficult to find a family that specializes in different ancestor worship activities in such an environment. Let alone ten coffins, how can you check the doors of these deep houses?
All Lu Ning can do is to release the drone to see if there are any suspicious things in the yards of various houses, but I also know that the people who do this will never put things like coffins in the open, let alone coffins , There is not even a family with ten water tanks.

When she came back for breakfast, Lu Ning told everyone about the situation.

The priests also have no good solution. Although they have the ability to subdue monsters and catch monsters, they can't break into houses casually, and they can't search carefully from house to house no matter what the reason is.Jin Yuntai's ghost-controlling skills are not easy to use, especially the habits of door gods, firecrackers, peach charms, and incense ash in the countryside are all kept. For the ghosts in the afterlife, it is the strongest barrier, and all the little ghosts who have these placed at the door cannot enter.

"Ah...it's really difficult." Chen Hang said something complaining while drinking the polenta porridge.The Qian family also knew some families in the local area, but knowing such a few households did not meet the search requirements.

"How about this? Today we are divided into three groups. The three priests each lead a group of people. The two groups drive to Jiuyuan and Dadong Road to have a look. The last group is at Xiaheshao. Since Bai Li is such an evil Li, then besides witnessing it directly, there should be other ways to observe it, such as the flow of Yin Qi." Lu Ning looked at Lu Ping.

"Although there is, it is too difficult to observe." Lu Ping sighed, "I can only try it, it is better than nothing."

"Tang Haiyao, take your younger siblings and don't run away, here with Laoqian, follow..." Chen Hang looked at the three backbones.Jin Yuntai stroked his beard: "Song Xiaoyou, then please entrust our girl to you first, and the old man will check it out here personally."

"No problem." Song Caiwei said straightforwardly.

And Lu Ning's group of four didn't need to be divided any more. They agreed to come back around 04:30 in the afternoon, kept in touch with each other on the way, and then set off separately.The place Lu Ning chose was Dadong Road, which was the most town-like place I passed by last night.During the day, I sped up the speed appropriately, and when I arrived, it happened to be the time when Dadong Road was gradually bustling.

This place is a bit like Huilongbao. There are buildings with different functions such as residential areas, commercial areas, restaurants, and culture. There are also some decent office buildings closest to the main road.But if you look carefully, you can easily find that the pace of life here is different from that of the bustling city. People don't feel too much anxiety. Even office workers in suits and leather shoes are standing in the commissary chatting—now But it's already past the clock-in time for work.

"Lu Daochang, can you see anything?"

"The yin qi is a little heavy, which is really unusual during the New Year's Eve. It's just... I can't see the origin of the yin qi." Lu Ping shook his head, "Maybe it's my lack of knowledge..."

"Brother, this thing is not easy to do. If you want me to say, it's easier to go to those places that have already found someone to hold the white ceremony. This place... Hey!" Qi Mei suddenly raised his head and patted Lu Ning's seat Chair, "Girl stop here!"

"It's better to call me by my name than a girl." Lu Ning immediately parked the car on the side of the road, a little surprised that Qi Mei could see something that even Lu Ping couldn't see.

Qi Mei didn't care so much, she pulled the door and ran out as soon as the car stopped. Lu Ning was still unfastening her seat belt, following Qi Mei's movements to see what he wanted to do.As a result, after getting out of the car, Qi Mei crossed the road and rushed directly to the opposite side. He reached out and patted the shoulder of a lady in a mink coat, and said something with a smile on his face.

"...He went to strike up a conversation?" Lu Ning's hand stopped.

"Master's door is unfortunate..." Lu Ping slapped his forehead, opened the car door and walked over.Lu Ning was a little helpless, but at this moment, she saw Qi Mei talking to the lady with a surprised expression, and then waved her hands in a panic, as if to defend herself, and then she was slapped by the lady.

"Good fight!" Teng Xuan waved his fist, "You're a stinky rogue, and you actually stopped for this kind of thing."

Lu Ning frowned slightly, and watched as Lu Ping pulled Qi Mei back by the back of his neck. In front of the tall Lu Ping, Qi Mei had no room to resist like a cat.

"I made you two laugh." Lu Ping threw him back into the car and apologized to Lu Ning and Teng Xuan.

"No, it's not... Oops, senior brother, Li Wenyue, listen to my explanation." Lu Ping said with a bitter face, "I really know her... Don't, don't, listen to my explanation."

"Say." Lu Ning started the car again.

"I'm humble, but I've met many people in my travels for so many years. That lady was a client I helped before. After she divorced her husband, she lived with a daughter. Her daughter was haunted. I met When I arrived, she gave me a handy favor. At that time, she thanked me very much and left my business card. Sigh, you said that I am not as handsome as I was when I was old. You should remember such unique eyebrows, right? I also It's not because she's interested in her, but when I met an old friend in a foreign land and wanted to catch up with her, she turned her face and refused to recognize anyone..."

"So you didn't say anything provocative?" Lu Ning asked.

"Of course! Although my old Qi said that he likes to pretend to be something... Anyway, I can do it by putting money on my face, but molesting women is taboo in Taoism! What's more, my senior brother is still here!"

"Then you should have recognized the wrong person." Lu Ning said, "I saw your surprise and explanation. If your words are not particularly excessive, no matter what, the other party will not be able to slap you directly. At most, they will scold you. Just a few words. Her clothes are good. She doesn't just pursue gorgeousness but has reasonable collocations. She didn't quarrel with you when you explained, but waited for you to finish speaking. Her demeanor can show her good upbringing. Lu Ping said Chief, could you please check if there is anything wrong with Qi Mei?"

Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, nodded and gave Qi Mei a closer inspection, and soon used the branch-like mahogany sword to pick out a shadow from inside his collar, flicked it and dispersed.

"There is something."

"Qi Mei, according to what you said before, this lady doesn't live here, she should be someone who moved here later?"

"Yes."

"Understood, Lu Daochang, what is the origin of that thing?"

"The most common yin line, ghosts are used to mark the traces, because the visual organs are only possessed by the body, ghosts and other non-body existences use other methods to see things. These methods will always leave some traces .”

"Hey! Did she actually repay me with revenge?" Qi Mei narrowed his eyes.

"You are also a Taoist priest! Even a baby can't hurt this yin energy, why are you panicking?" Lu Ping reprimanded, "How could ordinary people leave yin energy lines on your body? Think about it carefully! "

"Oh, oh, why think about it carefully?" Qi Mei was a little confused by the scolding.

"That lady is in some trouble." Lu Ning said in the front row, "It should be related to ghosts again, and this time it made her afraid to ask for help, probably some kind of evil spirit with communication skills. She doesn't dare to tell you directly, but this approach is just a momentary thought in desperation, if you ignore her because you are angry, there is nothing you can do."

"In that case, we need to help this lady," Lu Ping said.

"Yes, Daoist Lu Ping, how serious is life-threatening in such a situation?"

"A conscious ghost is actually more terrifying than an unconscious ghost. You have all seen the nine-faced baby. It is actually just an unconscious aggregation of resentment. It follows a certain instinct to kill, but it is completely irrational, otherwise you will meet me. When you go, you should hold back or simply leave. This ghost can prevent the lady from seeking help and telling the truth, and it will definitely be more troublesome."

"But from another point of view, this ghost will cast a long line to catch big fish... Well, I get it. Now I can go to her."

Lu Ning turned the steering wheel, and the car turned into another road. The lady was waiting at the traffic light at the intersection.Lu Ning waited for the lady to cross the road on time, then drove past her and stopped in a parking space. After the four got out of the car, they walked into the nearby shopping mall under the guidance of Lu Ning.

"The lady will probably pass by here, not sure if she will come to the mall... here she is."

When the lady passed by the mall, she asked the guard at the door something, and then she didn't come in, and walked straight forward.Lu Ning waited for a few seconds, then walked towards the guard.

"Uncle, what did the auntie ask you just now?" Lu Ning asked the guard with a smile.

"What do you ask this for?"

"Her daughter and I are good friends and want to give a New Year's gift. I just saw my aunt, so I want to find out some news... Hehe."

The guard smiled: "I didn't ask anything, I just asked if there was a pharmacy in the shopping mall. I said there was no pharmacy here, and there was one on the side of the street."

"Oh... I haven't heard that anyone in her family is sick..."

"It's hard to keep a headache in winter. I don't think that lady's complexion is particularly good. Maybe it's something wrong with her body." The guard sighed.

"Understood, anyway, thank you uncle." Lu Ning bowed and thanked, then walked out the door.Teng Xuan, Lu Ping and Qi Mei also slipped out from the side and caught up with Lu Ning.

"Wen Yue, what's the matter?"

"Buy medicine. Daoist Lu, medicine doesn't work on ghosts, does it?"

"Hehe, you don't understand." Before Lu Ping could speak, Qi Mei laughed, "People can't drug ghosts, but ghosts can drug people."

"I heard that people who take too much sleeping pills will die..." Teng Xuan slapped her hands.Lu Ning shook her head: "Sleeping pills are so easy to prescribe. Besides, there are many easier and invisible methods of killing than drugs. Ghosts themselves are one kind. Why do ghosts use human methods to kill people?"

Qi Mei was still excited: "Then why do people blame others?"

"... Ghosts are also afraid?"

"The more conscious ghosts are, the more afraid they are." Lu Ping said, "You have also heard that the little ghosts under Mr. Jin have to follow certain rules. In fact, all ghosts and ghosts have rules to follow. The power to hurt people is powerful but fearful. Taoism, so if you don’t want to be discovered by those who are interested, you must use a certain amount of camouflage.”

"Well... To put it simply, this ghost was afraid that someone like you would find out, so he resorted to killing people with a knife. If that's the case, wouldn't this lady who knew about it escape?"

"How can a ghost let anyone go?" Qi Mei curled his lips, "Oh, the one in front is the pharmacy, brother, should we just block and kill this ghost?"

"Expelling evil spirits has never been so easy." Lu Ping frowned.

"Why don't you two wait outside at a place out of sight, Teng Xuan and I haven't seen that lady before, so you can go in and see what's going on," Lu Ning said.

"Be careful." Lu Ping nodded.

When I walked into the pharmacy, it was still very warm inside.Lu Ning looked around and found the lady who was buying medicine.What she is buying are some commonly used over-the-counter drugs, and there are not even any offensive types of drugs. The medical knowledge in Lu Ning's mind is basically comprehensible, and it is not too difficult to identify the drugs here.

"Excuse me, do you have cold medicine and medicine for diarrhea?" Lu Ning went directly to the lady and asked the clerk.

"Wait a minute, lady, is that all you want?"

"Bring me a box of that eye drops." The lady nodded with her hand a little uneasily, "And where are your lozenges? I want to see."

"There are four brands on the shelf behind you." The clerk pointed politely, and the lady turned and walked over in a hurry.

At this time, the clerk found out the two medicines she wanted for Lu Ning. Lu Ning glanced around at the medicine boxes on the counter, and there was indeed nothing wrong.

Isn't it because of the medicine?What other special meaning does that have?
She paid the money, turned around, and walked towards the lady. While putting the medicine in her pocket, she quietly spread her fingers, stroking her back very lightly as she passed by.

click.

After the cracking sound, there was a sound like mosquitoes. Lu Ning took two quick steps and came to the door of the pharmacy. She pulled out her hand in her pocket and opened it slightly to scoop the air.

The white ring between the fingers became clear in an instant. This time, it took a full second, and then a gust of wind blew from the inside of the store to the outside of the store. In this biting cold, Lu Ning showed a smile instead.
