Crown Princess, she can catch ghosts

Chapter 140 Profound Yin Cauldron

When the group arrived at Hongfeng Station, they saw that the entire station had been surrounded by the people brought by Shizi and the postmen of Hongfeng Station.

It is said that the government is doing business, and irrelevant people are prohibited from entering it, and even pedestrians who want to rest at the post station are all stopped outside.

However, the post station also set up a simple tea shed under a tree not far outside for pedestrians to rest and quench their thirst.

Looking at this scene, Zhou Juncheng asked inexplicably: "Your Highness, what is this for?"

Hongfeng Station is an official station. According to the law, the official station must provide drinking water for pedestrians, and it is not allowed to refuse officials to stay overnight.

Now that it is surrounded like this, all business travelers and passers-by are kept out, I am afraid that it will become a reality, and even the achievements of officials in this area will be damaged.

The prince then explained: "I was really afraid of frightening them, so I had to make a bad plan. Moreover, the current situation is special, and we haven't found out yet. If the news leaks out, it will be a great disadvantage to the reputation of the government."

When he learned that the bones were all parked in the Red Maple Station, Shi Zi sent someone to send an order back immediately, and blocked the news, and the post station was also sealed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

After all, such a weird thing, and it has something to do with ghosts and gods, once spread, the influence must be huge.

Not only will the government be charged with negligence and inaction, but it will also make the people panic and unruly.

At that time, even if the real culprit is found and the mastermind behind the scenes is caught, it will not help the matter.

If there are similar things, the first thing people think of is ghosts, and another batch of evil spirits and villains will be born to play with people's hearts, so that the cycle repeats and it is difficult to stop.

Zhou Juncheng originally thought that the son was exaggerating, but when he entered the Red Maple Station, he realized that what the son said was not an exaggeration, and the handling was very appropriate.

What kind of official reputation and political achievements, if it provokes chaos among the people, it will be a big deal!
After Zhou Juncheng figured it out, he quickly praised the prince for his thoughtfulness and flattery, and the guards around the prince rolled their eyes several times.

I saw a dozen skeletons placed on the open space behind the station.

The area around Hongfeng Station has long been designated as a place to enjoy the scenery, and no one is allowed to bury the coffin.In this way, it can be ruled out that someone was buried in the maple forest, and it was not washed out by the rain.

Moreover, those skeletons are very complete, fresh and clean, and there are no traces of wear and tear on the bones, and they look different from the skeletons left by the corpse after years of decay.

On the contrary, it seems... as if someone used special means to destroy the flesh and blood, leaving only the bones on purpose.

"Are you sure you found them all in Fenglin?" Zhou Juncheng checked carefully and asked uncertainly.

He also often comes to Hongfeng County to enjoy the scenery. Sometimes he invites one or two friends, or travels with his wife and children, which is quite enjoyable.

Now that I know that there are so many bones hidden in this maple forest, I can't help but feel a little apprehensive.

General Fan stepped forward and replied, "Exactly."

In fact, these were all found by Yun Si and his team last night, and there was nothing else, even if it was an accident, they didn't find any useful clues.

However, in order to deceive others, General Fan said that he led people to search the mountain to find it.He also marked the places he found on Fenglin's drawings one by one, and handed them over to Zhou Juncheng and others.

In this way, it saved them a lot of trouble, but the case became more complicated and confusing.

Although many bones were found, there were only white bones left, and nothing beside them.

There are so many missing people recorded in the file, how can one match them all with just a single bone?
Even a very experienced operator can only roughly determine the age and gender of the deceased, and the specific time of death still needs to be investigated carefully.

Zhou Juncheng's head was as big as a bucket, and he suddenly felt that it might not be a good thing for him to take over this matter...

But now that riding a tiger is difficult, he had no choice but to have these situations recorded one by one, and all the bones were taken back for investigation, and an additional team was sent to stay at Hongfeng Station to protect the safety of his son.

However, these matters do not need to be handed over by the prince and Zhou Juncheng, and General Fan and the people in the post station will handle them.

As soon as the son returned to Hongfeng Station, he went to see Diansu, to be precise, it was Diansu's body.

Seeing that Su was still wearing yesterday's plain dress, with a fair and rosy face, but his breath was very weak, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Seven days...

Thinking back to the time during the Ghost Festival, what Old Master Sang said when summoning Su's soul, after seven days, it will be difficult to return the soul.

Shizi pursed his lips, and called the servant girl to wipe and change Diansu's clothes, and he went to take a bath and change clothes himself, and took off all the dusty robes.

After tidying up, he returned to Diansu's house.

He can't do anything now, he can only look at Diansu, even if it's just her body, he will feel better.

At this moment, Dian Su is discussing with Yun Si and Yuan Jiu how to deal with this matter.


The sunshine on Taozhi Mountain is just right.

The rich aroma of peach blossoms pervades Tingtao Xiaozhu, making this picturesque place even more intoxicating.

The floor was covered with thick cushions and delicate silks and satins, Yuanjiu was leaning lazily by the window, his light purple robes were spread out wantonly, his white hair was not tied up, only loosely scattered behind him, and he held a golden book in his hand. Brochures, flipping through one after another.

The booklet records the origin and usage of all the instruments and artifacts of the Underworld, and was obtained by Yuanjiu from the Second Ghost Emperor Dongfang last night.

Because the booklet is only a rubbing copy of the general book of the Underworld, and only Yuanjiu is allowed to read it, the two of them can only wait for him to find it slowly.

Dian Su glanced at him, and said impatiently, "Did you find it?"

If it weren't for her being a living soul now, she would be contaminated with death energy after entering the underworld, making it difficult to return her soul, so there is no need to be so troublesome.

Yuan Jiu turned another page slowly, and said in an unhurried tone: "Don't urge, don't urge, this booklet looks thin, but it has thousands of pages, how can it be so fast?"

Yunsi on the side also had no patience, and said irritably: "If I lead someone to search the whole Yinzhou directly, it really won't work, just report it to the Underworld and let the ghost domains assist in the investigation."

Yuan Jiu elongated his voice, gave a soft "tsk", and raised his hand to signal him to sit down.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't this just looking for...found it!"

"It's the Xuanyin Cauldron!"

Yuan Jiu sat up straight, and handed the booklet in his hand to Dian Su. Seeing Dian Su staring at him coldly, he realized that Dian Su couldn't see the words on it.

He had no choice but to withdraw his hand resentfully, and read the contents of the booklet to the two of them.

Xuanyin Ding, also called Yinyang Ding, was used by Emperor Fengdu to refine souls.

According to legend, a long time ago, because there were not enough priests in the underworld, countless innocent souls were suppressed in the underworld, which was difficult to discipline.

Some of these powerful ghosts gradually became disgusted, and devoured those weaker ghosts to increase their cultivation, trying to use this method to leave the Styx and get rid of their fate.

Sometimes they even drag the souls on the Naihe Bridge, causing chaos in the underworld.

After Emperor Fengdu found out, he threw all these souls into the Xuanyin Cauldron to refine them, so as to wear away their resentment and hostility.

If you can repent, you will propose to be a judge of hell to atone for your sins;
If you can't repent, your soul will melt into a ball of black water and become one of the waters of the Styx.

"It's just that, with the increasing number of officials in the Underworld, and the ferrymen watching over the Styx River, this Xuanyin Cauldron is no longer useful, and its whereabouts are long gone."

Dian Su frowned, and asked in a cold voice: "No more?"

Yuan Jiu looked confused, "...It's gone."

Yun Si was silent for a moment, then stood up suddenly, "I'd better take someone to patrol the mountains!"
