Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 156 Fighting Zombies

"The tomb of Xu Fengnian, governor of the cloud."

It seems that this is the tomb of a high-ranking official. According to the governor, there were many dynasties before, but it is impossible to determine where this cloud is.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and he looked around, only to see that the place was deserted and inhabited, and he didn't know where it was.

He didn't wait any longer, the Longyuan sword swept out, cutting the entire seal, the dust fell, and water slowly overflowed.

When the soil was completely dispersed, a thick coffin immediately appeared in front of him.

The red cloth covering the coffin had only fragments left, but the coffin below was not much damaged, much better than Dou Ziping's.

Before the coffin was opened, Hu Qian saw the thick bloody aura inside.

After cutting off the lid of the coffin with the Long Yuan Sword, a stench immediately came to the nostrils.

Hu Qian frowned, and when he looked carefully, he suddenly felt that Long Yuanjian was trembling.

At the same time, a shadow suddenly stabbed in the face.

With his horizontal sword in front of him, he swung the thing away with a sudden sweep.

I saw that it turned out to be a piece of brown dead wood, it just fell on the ground, and immediately got into it, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Hu Qian snorted, flew up in an instant, aimed at one direction, rushed forward in two or three steps, and cut the ground open with a sweep of the sword.

However, the speed of that thing was so fast that it struggled half of its body before the sword light fell.

"Shh!"

The remaining half of the branch was cut off, and a ball of gray juice immediately burst out. Within three feet, except for Hu Qian, everything that was contaminated with this juice withered in an instant.

Hu Qian wanted to chase again, but the half branch had already disappeared.

Could this be the Dryad?
Or is it a double or something?

He smelled the gray juice on his body, and immediately felt a rancid and damp smell, which made him frown.

When I went to look at the coffin again, I saw a green-haired thing lying in it, which looked like an adult gorilla.

Sand and rocks were flying outside, and it was beaten so hard that it was still sleeping soundly.

And under its body, white bones were scattered here and there, apart from the bones of beasts, there were actually many human skulls among them.

It seems that this thing not only captured cattle and sheep to eat, but also ate many passers-by.

Hu Qian was about to finish him with a sword, but Dou Ziping suddenly said: "Master, wait a moment!"

"how?"

"If you kill it like this, it won't rain."

"what do you mean?"

"The villain also heard the legend from his ancestors.

Drought bait is also called dry bone stake. It must be tied to a wooden stake with a rope stained with the blood of a black dog, and then the blood is let out with a knife, and then it is whipped with a whip dipped in the blood of a virgin. It cannot stop for a moment, straight Only the bones are left before it can rain. "

Hu Qian nodded. After all, it is the world of Liao Zhai, and this kind of thing would rather be believed than not.

So he first sealed the coffin around with a golden talisman to prevent the thing from running away, and then called out the land with a paper talisman, asked the nearest village, and then rushed to it with all his strength.

After climbing over the high and low mountain ridges and walking four miles, I arrived at Laozhang Village.

He thought that after he revealed his identity as the county magistrate, the villagers would quickly find the things, but everyone said he was crazy.

How could the magistrate come here.

Hu Qian shouted: "I have found the Hanba. If you hit the Hanba, it will rain. Do you want to go?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was immediately moved, and hurried to find the black dog blood stained the rope, and four women went door to door to find the menstrual blood.

When the things were ready, everyone said again: "Where are we! Let's go too!"

Hu Qian said: "You are walking too slowly! If you can keep up, come on!"

As he said, he grabbed his things and rushed back, only two of them flew forward, and they were already ten feet away.

When everyone saw it, they were all shocked.

Someone said: "I heard that the newly appointed county magistrate has great powers, and others call him a great immortal. It seems that this person must be right!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up!"

"Oh! It will rain hopefully!"

Everyone was so excited that they ran wildly. Although Hu Qian could no longer be seen, they generally knew the direction.

Fortunately, it was not very far away. After half an hour, I saw Hu Qian standing in front of a big pit.

"My lord... my lord..."

Everyone was so tired that they were out of breath, and many of them just sat on the ground.

"Just now... I offended my lord..."

Hu Qian didn't speak, but just stared at the sleeping green-haired monster. When he was ready, he suddenly jumped into the coffin, and as soon as the rope in his hand was threaded, it directly tied its hands.

"Ow!"

The thing was awakened suddenly, and it punched Hu Qian hard on the head.

However, before it reached the body, it was blocked by the golden light, and it was immediately shocked to fly backwards. The rope was tightened suddenly, making a creaking sound.

Hu Qian hurriedly pressed it to the ground, tied up all four horses, and wanted to throw it out with a wave of his hand.

However, just as the monster flew to a position parallel to the ground, it flew back backwards with a bang, and hit the ground heavily, a lot of dark gray liquid flowed out from under the green hair.

Hu Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then removed the previously sealed golden talisman.

Throw it again and throw it on the ground outside.

When the onlookers saw it, they immediately ran away in fright, and then saw that the thing was tied by a rope, so they looked curiously again.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Hu Qian hurriedly drove the stake into the ground, and then tied the monster to the stake.

Just as he was about to bleed it, Dou Ziping suddenly said weakly: "Master, the sun is so strong, I can't hide anymore, I'm afraid I have to go back to my coffin first.

Please take the little one with you when the master leaves. "

Hu Qian responded, and Dou Ziping immediately went underground and headed towards Shenjiagou.

The onlookers felt a gust of wind, thought it was caused by the monster, and quickly took two steps back.

With a swipe of Hu Qian's Longyuan sword, a dark gray liquid immediately flowed out from the monster's chest.

Immediately he whipped him hard.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

After being beaten from noon to sunset, only a pile of bones remained of the monster.

At this time, a group of villagers still did not leave. One was curious, and the other wanted to see if it would rain.

As the last trace of debris on the bone was whipped off, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and thunder and lightning flashed in a moment. The strong wind seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, and it made people unable to stand up straight.

"It's raining! It's really raining!"

The villagers shouted happily, and some even took off their clothes and jumped up.

Hu Qian immediately threw the pile of bones into the coffin, and was about to take a fire bag to ignite the coffin, when suddenly there was a flash in the sky, and a ray of lightning slanted down and hit the coffin directly.

"boom!"

After the loud noise, the coffin suddenly burst into flames.

At this moment, a downpour suddenly poured in, and everyone was immediately blinded by the drenching.

"God has eyes!"

"If there is no magistrate, God has eyes!"

A group of villagers immediately knelt on the ground, "Thank you magistrate for saving your life."

Seeing that the heavy rain could not extinguish the fire in the coffin, Hu Qian felt relieved, and was about to let everyone get up when he suddenly heard the sound of sobbing from the fire.

It seems that many people are crying and laughing at the same time.

When the flames danced, a human face was faintly shaking.

Hu Qian snorted, and a golden talisman smashed in.

Immediately there was another scream from the fire, and then there was no more movement.

※※※

When returning to Shen old man's house, only his daughter-in-law was cooking at home, and the rest of Shen old man's family went to the field to watch the crops.

Hu Qian ordered all the yamen servants to come back the next day, but he himself took Dou Ziping's bones and went back to the county yamen overnight.

When I got to the door, I saw an old woman kneeling at the gate of the county government office.

He stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

When the old woman saw Hu Qian, she immediately beamed with joy, "I beseech you to make the decision."

Hu Qian invited her to the second hall, asked Hu Jiu to boil hot water for her to drink, and asked Yingcai to bring dry clothes for her to change into.

He himself returned to Houya first, changed his clothes under Rong Ninger's service, and then returned to the second hall.

"What kind of grievance does the old man have?"

The old woman was about to kneel down again immediately, Hu Qian hurriedly pulled her back, "This is not the lobby, if you have something to say, it doesn't matter."

The old woman said humanely: "I am Qi Xing, and I live with my son Qi Dacai." Then she began to cry.

Hu Qian nodded, and asked Yingcai to wipe away the old man's tears.

"Old man, speak slowly."

"Thank you, my lord.

My son Dacai was originally a sedan chair bearer. Last night, a guest went to the Cangchun Building to hand over a note, and picked up Miss Xiaoyu. It was my son's sedan chair.

My son and a few others sent her to the designated inn and left.

Today someone said that Xiaoyu died at the door of the inn, but the guests of the inn did not see Xiaoyu, and the old bustard of Cangchunlou said that Xiaoyu had obviously been taken away.

Both sides said they were wronged, so they pushed the blame on my son and other four people, saying that they must have killed Xiaoyu.

It's a pity that my husband died early, so he stayed with such a son. He was honest and honest on weekdays, how could he kill someone. "

Hu Qian nodded, "Your sons are in prison now?"

"Yeah? I was arrested in the morning, if I want to kill..."

Hu Qian called Hu Jiu and asked in a low voice, "Who asked to take it?"

"It's Squad Leader Wang. He saw that the young master hadn't sat in court for the past two days, so he came to ask me, and then said that the person was arrested first, and the criminal law would not be imposed. He will talk about it when the young master comes back."

Hu Qian nodded.

"Old man, don't worry, if your son is really wronged, I will definitely give him justice.

It's getting late now, I'll let someone take you back first. "

So Hu Jiu took an umbrella and took Qi Xingshi home in a carriage.

"Welcome."

"Master."

"Do you know about this?"

"I've heard some, saying that Xiaoyu is extremely beautiful, and customers often pass notes and say that her kung fu is first-class..."

Hu Qian looked at her suspiciously, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you to say this."

Yingcai blushed, "This is what I heard, I didn't hear anything else."

Seeing that the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, Hu Qian didn't plan to go to the scene of the crime immediately.

"Okay, hurry up and boil some water, I want to wash."

Yingcai responded, and then asked again: "Is the young master washing it alone? If you wash it alone, it will burn faster."

Hu Qian said angrily: "You are getting smarter and smarter."

Then he said: "Just enough water for one person."

When the water comes in, Rong Ning'er and Yingcai serve him to wash.

While helping him wash his chest, Rong Ning'er said: "Go and add some charcoal to the charcoal basin, lest my husband catch a cold."

Yingcai hurried to go.

Hu Qian said: "Is there nothing going on these two days?"

"It's nothing else, but I often feel depressed. I think it's the induction from my sister, so I'm thinking about when to go see her again."

Hu Qian said: "I can only go after I have dealt with this murder case and Wang Shengdong's case first.

I didn't expect to be so busy after becoming a county magistrate. If possible, I would like to invite a teacher. "

Rong Ning'er said: "If Sister Yuzhen is here, she will definitely be able to help my husband. I don't have the ability to do this. If I talk about going out to play, I can do it as a concubine."

"You can keep an eye out for me when you're free, and see if there are any young talents in this city."

"I heard from Mrs. Zhou about this, saying that there is a man named Kong Xueli who is quite talented."

Hu Qian said: "I knew him from the first day we entered the city. He is Xiaoqian's cousin. It's a pity that he doesn't want to come."

"Then why?"

"He said he cherishes his friendship with me, and if he joins my sect, he will inevitably cause unhappiness."

"That makes sense."

After saying a few more words, Hu Qian shouted, "Welcome the lottery."

Yingcai immediately came in from the outside, "Master."

"When Hu Jiu comes back, go talk to him and ask him to put away the jar I brought back."

"Yes."

When she went out, the two talked again.

Rong Ning'er said while stroking Hu Qian's chest.

Seeing her expression, Hu Qian understood, and said softly: "What's the matter? Just tell your husband if you have any difficulties, and he will definitely make the decision for you."

"That's it..."

"Which is that?"

Seeing his expression, Rong Ning'er already knew that he was playing tricks, so she turned over and kissed him regardless.

※※※

The next day, before Hu Qian got up from the bed, the sound of welcoming the color came from outside.

"Master, Hu Jiu said that Team Leader Wang has something urgent to see."

Hu Qian said: "Let him talk outside the door."

After a while, Wang Shisan's voice came from outside the door, "Master, the author said that Xiaoyu's body is missing."

Hu Qian was taken aback for a moment, then sat up.

Yingcai and Rong Ning'er hurriedly waited on him to get dressed.

After leaving the door, he stared at Wang Shisan and said, "The body is gone?"

"right.

Wu Zuo discovered this when he woke up to urinate early this morning. "

"What about the other bodies?"

"Everything else is there."

Hu Qian said: "You are waiting for me in the second hall."

Wang Shisan bowed in response and hurried away.

Hu Qian looked around, saw no one around, and shouted: "Where is the white head!"

Bai Tou immediately ran over along the wall, "Master."

Hu Qian didn't talk nonsense, and said in a low voice: "Go ask the rats at the mortuary to see who came in and out last night."

The white head bowed and bowed, "Yes!"

Hu Qian explained a few more words to Rong Ning'er, and then led by Wang Shisan to the mortuary.

That Wu Zuo was an old man in his fifties, when he saw Hu Qian, he immediately bowed and said, "Master, this..."

Hu Qian waved his hand, "Tell me the cause of Xiaoyu's death first."
