Chapter 843 Guess Is Wrong?

Su Tingyu approached the corpse, and after carefully sniffing and arguing, he testified for his sister: "Indeed, there is no smell of Qipo in the corpse of this Qingtang wizard."

Daoist Tu Huang was amazed, and guessed: "I heard that the wizard over the Qingtang has a lot of weird and weird spells. Could it be that this person felt that he couldn't escape, so he simply committed suicide and turned into a ghost, abandoning his body, and This is to get rid of his pursuit?"

Qin Shaoyou walked around the corpse of the wizard in Qingtang, looked at the situation inside the room, and said in thought:

"I can't rule out such a possibility. Look at this Qingtang wizard, who obviously stabbed himself in the heart with a knife, but not only did he not have a painful expression on his face, but a strange smile appeared on his face, as if he was relieved .

And the couple of butchers who died in this room were also very strange. They seemed to be embracing each other to death, but after careful observation, one could find that their embracing posture was not natural, more like a man-made pose.

In addition, there are witch spells and magic circles drawn with blood and secret medicine in this room. Before, I thought that these witch spells and magic circles were used by the Qingtang wizard to launch the life-killing curse, triggering the corpse to attack Dongchuan Hou Shizi's. Thinking about it now, could it also be used to help him retain his soul and memory and turn him into a ghost? "

Qin Qiaoer followed Qin Shaoyou's words and analyzed: "If this Qingtang wizard really wants to turn into a ghost and get out of trouble, then he is probably still hiding in Qingtang Weicheng. In the past few days, I have carefully observed Qingtang In Tangwei City, there are magic circles arranged on the city walls, gates, etc. Once there are ghosts who want to pass through, they will not only warn, but also stop them. But from the sudden death of Zhang Hu, Zhao Long, and Wang Han to the present , I haven’t heard any news from the city walls, city gates, etc. that there are ghosts trying to break out of the city.”

"Anyway, it's a direction to investigate."

Qin Shaoyou immediately made an arrangement for Cui Yougui, Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu, Tu Huang, and Qiu Shi, the Taoist priests of the Jade Emperor Temple, to search for ghosts in Qingtang Weicheng.

And he himself is going to use [Bright Eyes] and [Wonderful Nose] to search carefully in the city.

As for the others, they continued to go to the yamen at all levels, acted according to the previously discussed plan, hid the talismans, Gu insects and paper figurines, and paralyzed the Marquis of Dongchuan.

After all, no one knows where the ghost of the Qingtang wizard is hiding, maybe it is in the yamen and officials at all levels of Qingtangwei.

Just when Qin Shaoyou and the others discussed the action plan, Ma Chao also rushed over and conveyed Dongchuanhou's reprimand and order to them.

After it was over, Ma Chao also helped Dongchuan Hou explain a few words: "Please forgive me, my lords are in the pain of bereavement, and my temper is inevitably a little irritable, but this case, please forgive me. Use some snacks, otherwise, in the end, it will hurt the friendship between the Zhenyaosi and our Qingtang Guard, and it will be bad."

Hey, Dongchuan Hou Shizi is definitely 'dead' now, and started to spread the news everywhere?

It seems that Dongchuanhou's back move should be revealed soon.

Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer glanced at each other, and the latter cupped his hands and said, "General Ma, please tell Lord Hou that we currently suspect that the reason why this Qingtang wizard committed suicide is probably because he wanted to die to get rid of our search and escape as a ghost." We are going to search for his ghost in the city to avenge the young master. It's just that we don't have many people. The demon town guard here in Qingtangwei has suffered heavy casualties recently and cannot provide us with support. Please also ask the Marquis of Dongchuan Can assign some soldiers to us to assist in the investigation."

Ma Chao was taken aback when he heard this.

Suicide into a ghost to get rid of the investigation? Is it because your brains are too big, or is this Qingtang wizard too ruthless?

That is to say, Zhu Xiucai didn't hear what he was thinking, otherwise he would have sneered and said in his heart: What is this? You don't know, there are still people who hope that we will commit suicide quickly so that we can jump ship to work for him.

Although Ma Chao was surprised, he still helped them convey these words to Marquis Dongchuan.

After hearing this, Marquis Dongchuan frowned slightly, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Although Ma Chao was curious in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more questions, but just stood quietly, waiting for him to speak.

A moment later, Marquis Dongchuan opened his mouth and asked Ma Chao to take his warrant and dispatch a 100-man team to assist the red-clothed emissary in finding the Qingtang wizard who had turned into a ghost and was hiding.

After Ma Chao left, Dongchuanhou narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself:

"Suicide by turning into a ghost to avoid being pursued? With the weirdness of the Qingtang wizard, this kind of thing is not impossible.

By the way, could the soul that broke into the mansion before be the Qingtang Wizard who committed suicide and turned into a ghost?

He intentionally left the aura of the Black Lotus Sect, in order to lead me to misjudge, thinking that the monsters of the Black Lotus Sect wanted to make trouble, so as to muddy the water, so that I could escape in the chaos?

No wonder my people, although they caught a few monsters from the Black Lotus Sect, they couldn't find anyone with an injured soul. It turned out that something went wrong fundamentally, because what we were looking for was not a person at all, but a ghost?

That's right, he took my blood energy to cover up his ghost energy with my blood energy, so as to hide from detection and pursuit..."

The more Dongchuan Hou thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

"What a cunning wizard, he almost deceived me. It's a pity that Qingtang sent you to be a dead soldier. It's just that the devil is one foot tall and one foot high. I will eventually see through your tricks gone."

Dongchuan Hou originally wanted to send more people to find this Qingtang wizard who had turned into a ghost, but after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.

"Let the red-clothed emissaries find it first. If they can't find it, I'll go out and teach them a lesson. But these days, people have to keep a close eye on the city walls and gates, and don't let any ghosts come in and out. ..."

After Dongchuan Hou made up his mind, he immediately summoned a soldier and asked him to take his warrant to convey it to the troops on duty at the city gate and the city wall, ordering them to be very energetic, and at the same time several of his subordinates A strong military general was sent to assist in guarding.

When the Marquis of Dongchuan dispatched troops, Qin Shaoyou and the others were not idle either. They led the 100 soldiers assigned to them by the Marquis of Dongchuan, divided them into several teams, and searched around the city with the help of supernatural items and soul-searching spells. .

However, the results were disappointing.

Qin Shaoyou and the others were busy until late at night. Except for the lonely and wild ghosts who died because of the military disaster and lingered in the world, they did not find any ghosts and evil spirits, and they did not track down the soul of the Qingtang wizard.

All these lonely ghosts were successfully rescued by the Taoist priest of the Jade Emperor Temple, and nothing abnormal happened.

Qin Shaoyou originally wanted to stay up all night to search and find the dead soul of the Qingtang wizard, so that it would not harm ordinary people.

As a result, while searching, Qin Qiaoer sent a messenger in red to look for him and brought him a message:

"Xue Xiaobao's senior brother found the post station, and brought a new guess and direction to this case. Perhaps our guess that the Qingtang wizard escaped by turning into a dead ghost was wrong..."
