Under one person: My cat turned out to be a traveling beast

Chapter 47

2008, April 3.

Waking up in the morning feels good.

Li Xiao dragged his exhausted body out of the room, and what he saw was the empty courtyard.

According to the original time, Dad should be practicing martial arts in the yard, but why is it so quiet today.

"Dad!"

Li Xiao yelled.

But no one responded.

Walking into Dad's residence, there was no one in the room, only a stack of red banknotes and an old newspaper.

There are only a few simple lines on the paper, and the handwriting is a bit scribbled, but it can't hide the rough and unrestrained spirit.

After seeing the information on the paper, Li Xiao frowned unconsciously.

"Xiao'er, when you read this letter, I have already left. Don't look for me. With your strength, you still can't find me. Your grandpa hasn't come back for a long time. As a son, I naturally have to look for him. some.

I am very happy to see you growing up as a father. I hope you become strong, but I don’t want you to become strong. You choose your own path.

If you meet your Aunt Wang next door in the future, tell her to marry her after I save enough money. I saved the money left, so you can keep it.

Do not read.

Li Pingfan. "

Li Xiao kept silent, packed the letters carefully, turned and went back to her room to pack her bags.

After taking a last look at the other courtyard, Li Xiao resolutely embarked on his way back to the company. Since his father had made up his mind, he couldn't hold him back.

...............

Back to the company.

Everyone was dispatching mail, and only Gao Lian was stationed in the company. When he saw Li Xiao, he squeezed out a smile on his face.

"Xiao'er, you're back."

"Uncle Gao." Li Xiao greeted, "How is the matter going?"

What he asked was exactly what happened to temporary workers not long ago.

Gao Lian took a sip of hot tea and replied: "Everything is going well. After the board of directors voted and elected, you will be revoked. But in order to prevent their old stuff from finding opportunities, you should stay in the company for a while."

"it is good."

Li Xiao nodded, "Don't you have any tasks recently?"

Gao Lian said, "There are no tasks. Our company is originally designed to mediate the relationship between aliens and ordinary people. If there are tasks every day, it won't make people exhausted."

"One more thing, Grandma Xiuju, do you still remember?"

"I remember." Li Xiao nodded. This Granny Xiuju is the Tang Sect strongman who survived the Anti-Japanese War, Yu Gu!

Gao Lian took off his hat and said, "Grandma Xiuju disappeared unexpectedly three days ago. We don't know exactly what happened, but from the traces, it should not be killed in a fight, but left by herself."

"Going by yourself?"

Li Xiao thought about it, could it be said that the group of old people in Tangmen already knew about Granny Xiuju?
Logically speaking, it should be impossible. Granny Xiuju has lived in the Northeast for so many years and has never been discovered. Unless she reveals her identity, no one knows her exact location.

"Where is her grandson Wang Yingling?"

"It's said that they disappeared too. All in all, this is another case without a head. I don't know what happened to those guys. I can't even find out about such a trivial matter."

Gao Lian cursed, because it was so sudden that their employees couldn't find useful clues from it. Grandma Xiuju has been able to stand in Jiangcheng for many years, and he also has an inescapable responsibility.

But it disappeared suddenly, even Gao Lian didn't expect it.

"Xiao'er, if it really doesn't work, go and investigate. If you have any clues, please tell me right away."

Li Xiao said, "No problem."

After putting away his luggage, Li Xiao left the branch office and came to Grandma Xiuju's house. Ever since her mother-in-law disappeared, their family has completely exploded. Of course, it's not because of the old woman, but because of the family property.

The Wang family is rich in assets, and it is understandable for the children to worry about the money, but Grandma Xiuju started discussing the distribution of the family property before she was confirmed dead, which really made people feel angry.

Li Xiao didn't bother to care about their family's internal affairs, but came to the courtyard where the opera was performed last time. There was indeed no trace of fighting here, and the building was still the same.

No wonder Wang Hao and the others didn't get any useful clues.

Walking into the room, the furniture in the room is neatly arranged, and a layer of dust has fallen on it because it has not been disturbed for a long time.

Watching the gossip array in the courtyard through the glass, although there was no movement on the surface, the careful Li Xiao noticed the clue.

When I came to the big tree in the courtyard, I squatted down, and with a touch of my right hand, the originally solid lawn was pushed away easily.

The inside is actually all lime powder. As the saying goes, toner is moisture-proof and lime is anti-corrosion. This is the ancient method of raising corpses.

And the lime powder is mixed with a lot of broken glass. It stands to reason that the Tang Sect would never practice this kind of magic. Could it be that someone set up a trap here a long time ago?

Li Xiao wiped off the lime powder in his hands,
After a long silence, he said: "Xiangxi corpse hunter..."

Except for the Xiangxi Exorcist Family, Li Xiao couldn't think of anyone who could make this kind of thing here.

However, Liu Yanyan is the only person who has this kind of ability in memory. According to the original plot, she should be only about 12 years old this year. Why did she suddenly come to the north to find Granny Xiuju.

Could it be that he...

Li Xiao's pupils shrank, and only Liu Yanyan's grandfather could achieve such an achievement. It seemed that he had to go to Liu's house in Xiangxi again.

After telling Gao Lian about this matter, Gao Lian was also shocked by the Xiangxi exorcists, who did not expect them to be involved in this matter.

Because of his own reasons, Gao Lian couldn't tell the company's board of directors about this matter, so he could only secretly arrange for someone else to buy Li Xiao a plane ticket, and kept reminding him to come back quickly if there was any danger.

Chasing corpses is a part of witch culture, also known as Yiling, which originated in the four counties of Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Xupu in ancient Chenzhou.

In the Qing Dynasty, rumors of "corpse chasers" in western Hunan were widely circulated, that is, corpse chasers used "secret techniques" to bring back the corpses of people who died in foreign lands to their hometowns, and let them bury them in peace.

Xiangxi is located in the west of Hunan Province, mainly in the Yuanjiang River Basin. Most of them are steep mountains with rugged roads. The Wuling Mountains meander from west to east. It is located in the northeast of the Wuling Mountains on the eastern edge of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, west of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and north of the western Hubei mountains , with Xuefeng Mountain as the screen in the southeast.

According to relevant literature records, there is a saying of "three rushing, three not rushing" for cadavers in Xiangxi.

Three catches:

Those who were beheaded (whose heads must be sewn together), those who were hanged, and those who died standing in cages could be expelled.Legend has it that because they were all forced to die, they were so unconvinced that they missed their hometown and their relatives.

Their souls can be hooked by spells, and spells can be used to suppress their respective corpses, and then spells can be used to drive them to climb mountains and mountains, and even board boats to return to their hometowns.
