Chapter 101 The Laiyang Case
Master Jin Hao opened his eyes and shook his head slightly: "Young Master Xu, there is no need to mention the past. The tiger demon killed countless people. Since we and the two of us were righteous monks, we would not be able to ignore it. It's a pity that although I surrendered the cruel tiger demon, it was difficult to save the creatures that died because of it..."
"Fortunately, Master Guangchang recited the Buddhist scriptures to help those resentful souls pass away. He will never make accomplices for the tiger, turn into wandering souls and float in the world and cannot be reincarnated..."
Everyone couldn't help but look admiring and sighing. Only Du Bai noticed that although the Taoist priest was speaking with a compassionate tone, the slightly raised eyebrows and eyes were a bit of arrogance that seemed to be showing off.
He shook his head in slight disappointment. If this so-called master had such a heart, he would probably not have much gain tonight.
At this time, Xu Zhiyan had already introduced the last middle-aged woman.
"The last one is..."
"You can just call me Thirteenth Aunt." The woman's hoarse voice suddenly interrupted Xu Zhiyan's words, making him stand aside with a little embarrassed.
Her eyes glanced over everyone present, and finally looked at the second floor and then chuckled slightly in that ugly voice: "I am not as compassionate as those two Taoist monks. I only have a few tricks of side-by-side tricks, so I am afraid I won't be able to see you."
"snort."
The two Taoist monks on the side did not seem to like this Thirteenth Aunt, and snorted coldly without saying much.
These people are not from the same group.
Compared to others, Du Bai is more interested in this Thirteenth Aunt.
Because he could feel a strange fluctuation in the other party, which was related to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, there was a bit of ominous color hidden in this breath. When he noticed a trace of black air, Du Bai frowned slightly.
This woman seemed to be related to ghosts. It was not clear how deep the other party's connection was, nor did it know whether it would hurt ordinary people present. Du Bai did not make any changes rashly, but just watched the changes and waited to see the development of things.
Since Xu Zhiyan organized this party, I guess he had some understanding of these people. He was not as reckless as Sheng Yunting.
Sure enough, Xu Zhiyan did not care about the embarrassment of being snatched by the Thirteenth Aunt just now, but instead bowed and smiled in admiration: "Thirteenth Aunt is joking. Do you know if you have heard of a strange case in Laiyang City some time ago?"
"Laiyang City?"
Everyone here subconsciously repeated the place name, showing some doubts on their faces.
This county town is not far from Yuanyang City, and is considered a close neighbor. However, the place is mediocre in terms of humanities and trade, and does not attract much attention, so no one remembered the so-called strange case for a while.
A young man frowned, as if he had remembered something, and shouted tentatively: "Can it be... the several murders of the Song family?"
"That's right." Xu Zhiyan nodded slightly, and seeing that the rest of the people were still curious and puzzled, he slowly spoke up and explained.
"You may not know something, and there are some points in it that have been interspersed with it. Please let me tell you one by one."
"A family named Song moved to the outskirts of Laiyang City a few years ago and bought a long-devoted house. It was rich and the family background may not be as good as the few here, but it still has no worries about food and clothing."
"A few days ago, Mr. Song heard that a servant reported that in the middle of the night, he would sometimes see a short white-haired old woman walking in the yard, and the place where she walked was wet and exuded a disgusting rotten smell. She was just always carrying someone on her back so she couldn't see clearly what she looked like. When people came over to check, the old woman quickly hid behind the bushes as if she had noticed, and she disappeared. She couldn't find it, and was strange and inexplicable..."
Just like telling a ghost story, Xu Zhiyan successfully controlled the atmosphere, and his tone was a little low, which made everyone present feel a little nervous and scared, and stared at him with wide eyes.
Although Du Bai was not afraid, he continued to listen with interest, who liked to listen to strange stories.
"Mr. Song was busy with business, so he naturally didn't take it seriously. He just asked his servants to take more care of him. Unexpectedly, two days later, the two maids were just serving Song's mother and lying down when they suddenly heard wet footsteps coming from the door outside, as if they were wandering!"
"Mrs. Song was awakened by the footsteps and hurriedly asked a maid to check who was walking. Through the window paper, the maid vaguely saw a short old woman in the dark shadow bent and wandering in front of the door. She felt scared and hurriedly told her. Song mother was also surprised and asked the two maids to help her up. She came to the window and carefully poked a small hole in the window paper to take a look."
"Who knew that the old woman wandering in front of the door seemed to have some sense. She suddenly turned her head and snatched her mouth and sprayed her towards the window!"
"The sewage broke through the window paper and sprinkled on several people. In an instant, the few people disappeared and fainted on the ground..."
"When a servant noticed something was wrong the next day, he pushed the door and looked at it, and he was frightened to find that the few people were dead! Only one little maid survived because she had less sewage. After a long time, she woke up and told what happened..."
"Mr. Song's pain of losing his mother is indescribable, but he was also frightened by the terror of the strange old woman. He hurriedly reported the case and asked the detective to check it out. Although the detective was powerful, he was powerless to do anything about this strange thing. Mr. Song posted a notice to ask the strange person for help."
"And the strange man who appeared is Thirteenth Aunt." Xu Zhiyan seemed to sigh and continued, "Thirteenth Aunt saw something wrong after she arrived. She said that the ghost energy was everywhere here, and there must be evil ghosts. Then she used the magic and asked the gods to tell the whole story, and concluded that the evil ghost was hiding under a deserted ancient well in the yard."
"Mr. Song hurriedly sent someone to see it. Sure enough, in the weeds in the yard, a foul-smelled well covered by a huge rock. After moving the huge rock, a foul-smelling smell suddenly came from it. When he looked closely, there was an old woman's body that had rotted for a long time at the bottom of the ancient well that was almost dry. Her bulging eyes were still wide open, as if she was staring at the people outside..."
"As instructed, Mr. Song sent someone to take out the body and expose it to a stick of incense at noon, and then burned it to ashes. From then on, no old woman wandered around in the middle of the night..."
