Chapter 190 The Fourth Mystery

The townspeople who came with Chen Mengsheng were startled by Zuda's daughter-in-law, a well-behaved person said in a blink of an eye that he was gone.The screams from the female relatives pierced the silence at dawn in Hulu Town. Chen Mengsheng didn't care to wipe the blood splattered on his face, and kicked open the door of Kuraku's house. The thick smoke made Chen Mengsheng's eyes sting, and there was a red fire coming from the single room in the back hall of Kuraku.It was said that Chen Mengsheng stretched out both hands at that time, and suppressed the flames that were protruding from the top with the wind and thunder.

Xiang Xiaotian shouted loudly: "Don't be dazed anymore, everyone put out the fire..." Following Xiang Xiaotian's shout, the people in the town rushed to help put out the fire .Kurojiu's house was originally small and the fire was suppressed by Chen Mengsheng's wind and thunder. In less than a moment, the fire was put out by everyone.

The townspeople who had been busy for most of the night carried the body of Kou Da's wife to bid farewell to Chen Mengsheng and left. Xiang Xiaotian looked at the burnt bookshelves in the house and said, "Brother, it seems that old boy Kuo Jiu is really here." There are secrets hidden in the book! Now it’s a good fire to burn it clean, we should have kept it here long ago.”

Looking at the rising red sun, Chen Mengsheng said: "Brother, if you do your calculations with your heart, you will be lured out even if we stay here, but we are not without gains. When I went to grab the big knife in the hand of Zuda's wife just now, Inadvertently, her hand was shaken away. This is definitely not a demonic spirit, but a serious Buddhist technique. I guess it should be the evildoer who used the body of Zuda's daughter-in-law to compete with me. "

Chuni stepped into Kuraku's house, pointed to the burned bookshelf and said: "The books on this bookshelf were the favorite things of my grandfather during his lifetime. We never allowed us to enter his house without permission. But I once heard that I Dad said a very strange sentence, but even now I still don’t understand the meaning of that sentence.”

"What kind of sentence is that?" Chen Mengsheng asked.

Chunni lowered her head and pondered for a moment, "It seems to be what is called a day. At that time, when I was young, I remembered that my father said that grandpa's treasures were hidden in the day."

Chen Mengsheng repeated it several times in his mouth and said: "One day at a time, this should be an anagram again. Kuroku is a scheming person. Since he can let Chunni's father know this, I think it must not be groundless. I found it. Maybe Kuraku's baby is what the people behind the scenes want."

Xiang Xiaotian kicked away the smoking bookshelf, and cursed angrily: "You, old boy, left a nonsense nonsense, where can we find it?"

Shangguan Yanran meditated on drawing strokes on her palm with her jade finger, raised her head and said, "Senior brother, day and day should not be a word for spring, right?"

"Spring...? What spring? Spring Festival or spring?..." Xiang Xiaotian asked Shangguan Yanran strangely, but Shangguan Yanran gave Xiang Xiaotian a blank look and did not speak.

Xiang Xiaotian looked at Chen Mengsheng blankly again, and Chen Mengsheng shook his head and said: "I really don't know about this. You, junior sister, have been busy with everyone since last night and have never slept well. Go to sleep for a while while the day is quiet. " Chen Mengsheng saw that everyone in the room had bloodshot eyes and said with concern.

Kuraku's house is uninhabitable, but luckily the houses on the east and west sides are all vacant.Xiwu Chunni and Zhuzhu Xiaotong lived in the inner room, while Shangguan Yanran, Qi Ying and Lihua lived in the outer room.On the east side, Yao Rengui lived in the inner room, while Chen Mengsheng and Xiang Xiaotian lived in the outer room. After everyone fell asleep, Chen Mengsheng still remembered the incident of being shaken away by Zuda's wife.One person counts the short and the other counts the long. As the saying goes, three cobblers can stand up to Zhuge Liang.It seems that I'm going to the Underworld to ask Judge Cui, and ask him for some experience...

The ghost soldiers in the nether world are already used to Chen Mengsheng's visits, and after asking about the reason for their visit, some little ghosts will report to Cui Yu, the judge of the Yin Law Division.When Cui Yu heard that it was Chen Mengsheng who had arrived, he greeted him out of the door with a smile on his face. Before Chen Mengsheng could open his mouth, he said, "Hehe, it's a coincidence that the Shangxian came today. A few days ago, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Hades of the Nether Ten Halls came to visit us. The meritorious deeds of the Shangxian have demonstrated the merits and virtues of the Shangxian in the heaven. The little god expected that it would not be too long before the Shangxian returned to the heaven and ranked among the immortals, huh? Why did the Shangxian hear such great news? Do you look embarrassed?"

"Returning to the immortal class in the heavenly court is also a floating cloud for Chen Mengsheng. I just hope that God will take pity on me and let my master go as soon as possible. I am satisfied. Today I came to bother Judge Cui because I encountered a difficult matter. I hope that Judge Cui can raise more points." Chen Mengsheng bowed.

Cui Yu saluted and said: "Shangxian's words are too disturbing to the little god, I don't know what happened to Shangxian? Please go to the Department of Yin Law, sit down and say slowly, it's not too late, Shangxian please."

As soon as Chen Mengsheng entered the Department of Yin Law, before he even had time to sit down, he asked anxiously, "Judge Cui, do you know that soul-stirring is used to do evil?"

"Both Buddhists and Taoists have this method, but it is used to do evil... I guess the little god should be a trick commonly used by those heretics. But I don't know why the Shangxian asked this question?" Cui Yu's face turned pale. asked solemnly.Chen Mengsheng told Cui Yu in detail about his passing through Hulu Town, and even lifted up his messy hair to show Cui Yu the dark spots on his face.

"This... this... this is too lawless. Dare to use the soul-storing method on you, and it almost caused a catastrophe. The little god has only heard a little about the soul-storing method, most of the soul-storing Yu Zhu Youshu. As Shangxian said, doing evil in dreams is probably a way to control dreams. This technique originated from Miaojiang and is also called Gu Jiangshu, which can kill people invisible. It was later used by Taoist monks on the rivers and lakes. The extensive and profound spells of Buddhism and Taoism concocted the techniques of raising ghosts, lowering the head, and soul-hunting, etc., and finally led its dream-controlling methods into evil ways." Cui Yu said seriously.

"Is there a way to break this method? I also looked through the book of life and death in Calabash Town. Except for the souls of those who died in the past, they have already entered the six samsaras. I really can't find a wronged soul to ask!"

"Hehe, Shangxian, you don't know something. The soul captured by the dream control method is devoured by the caster, which is more cruel than those warlocks who write a birth date and tie a villain. And The caster devours the living soul to strengthen his own spells, and the Shangxian wants to break this spell only if he captures the caster alive before he commits evil."

After hearing Cui Yu's words, Chen Mengsheng said depressedly: "If I could know who is doing evil, I wouldn't come here to ask you for advice!"

Cui Yu smiled and said: "It's not difficult to know who is doing the evil. As long as Shangxian can trace the source and find the perpetrator, it will be like finding something out of a bag..." Chen Mengsheng chewed on Judge Cui's words repeatedly, An idea came to his mind, and he hurriedly bid farewell to Cui Yu and returned to Hulu Town.

Chen Mengsheng entered the hall with his front feet, and heard Shangguan Yanran shouting with everyone: "Brother is back, if you have anything to do, just go to him." Chen Mengsheng saw a large group of townspeople from Gourd Town in the hall for no reason. One is the person who searched for Zuda's wife with him last night.

Among the visitors was an old man who saw Chen Mengsheng and posted a post and said politely: "You don't have to worry too much, you are the savior of our gourd town. The old man's surname is Zuo and his name is Demu, everyone calls me Uncle Mu. The town was hit by a catastrophe. The old patriarch Kuroku also died unexpectedly, and the people in the town elected the unfit old man as the patriarch, and we are here to invite distinguished guests and everyone to watch the ceremony tomorrow."

When Chen Mengsheng saw his kind eyebrows and kind eyes, he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Mu, you are welcome. Chen Mengsheng is just a reckless man, so what kind of distinguished guest is he? Tomorrow we will be there to watch the ceremony, so congratulations to Mu Shurong for being the patriarch. "The old man exchanged a few words with Chen Mengsheng and left in a hurry with others. When Chen Mengsheng turned his head and saw Chunni's face sinking like water, he couldn't help being secretly surprised...

"Miss Chunni, who is Kudemu? Why is the girl so displeased? A country cannot be without a king, and a family cannot be without a owner. It is understandable for the townspeople to elect a new patriarch. Is there any hidden secret here?" Chen Mengsheng asked puzzled.

Xiang Xiaotian walked up to Chen Mengsheng and said, "Brother, you are so stupid. I am in a hurry to choose a new patriarch here before Kurojiu's bones are cold. It's not that the lice on the bald head obviously blamed Kojiu for moving their ancestors' things. Do you think Will Miss Chunni have a good life in the future?" Chunni felt even more sad when she heard what Xiang Xiaotian said, and ran back to her room as soon as she stomped her feet and never came out again...

The next day, Uncle Mu came to pick up Chen Mengsheng and the others in person.Chunni excuses that she is unwell and does not want to attend the ceremony, and Lihua girl never likes to join in the fun.He took Zhuzhu and Xiaotong to stay to take care of Chunni, and Yao Rengui didn't go and said he would guard the girls' homes.Chen Mengsheng wanted to take the opportunity to visit the people in Hulu Town, so he brought Xiang Xiaotian, Shangguan Yanran and Qi Ying out with Zang Demu.

There is a large stone archway built on the southwest corner of Hulu Town. Today, both sides of the archway are full of people.Uncle Mu was draped in red silk with hundreds of family names written on by the townspeople of Calabash Town, supported by everyone and pushed under the archway.Zang Demu first pointed to the apocalypse table and then lifted a cinnabar pen from an altar table and traced the writing on the archway under the archway.

The original handwriting on the archway became blurred after being exposed to wind and rain, but Chen Mengsheng was surprised when he saw it with cinnabar.Dodging out of the crowd, he walked to the archway and asked, "Uncle Mu, what do you mean by drawing so many dots?" Seeing Chen Mengsheng's rudeness, the townspeople began to whisper to each other, and some even cursed. Get out of here, the strangers, the crowd suddenly became chaotic...

Kuo Demu turned his head and saw Chen Mengsheng's serious face did not seem to be causing trouble, he raised his hand and shouted: "Everyone, calm down, don't be rude to the honored guest. If it wasn't for the honored guest, we would still be kept in the dark by that old Kuraku , We haven’t thanked the honored guest yet, how can you abuse me like this!” The townspeople fell silent after hearing what Zaodemu said.

Kuo Demu pointed to the handwriting on the archway and said to Chen Mengsheng: "To be honest, we are all descendants of the great general of the Yan Kingdom, Kuo Pei. The dots on the handwriting here are the words inherited from the Kuo clan. It turned out to be used when marching and fighting. The characters were engraved on the archway by the ancestors later. Only the newly appointed patriarch can use cinnabar to describe them. You, distinguished guest, look at the more or less dots on it, which are actually two lines of characters. Regardless of whether they are of the same clan, regardless of relatives Everyone treats everyone equally." Chen Mengsheng was stunned, it turned out that there were other profound meanings in the circled handwriting that he found on the Kuku bookshelf, and he regretted that he didn't call Chunni to ask about it...

Chen Mengsheng retreated into the crowd, Shangguan Yanran gently poked him.Chen Mengsheng turned sideways and asked, "Junior Sister, what's wrong?" Shangguan Yanran pouted and pointed to the archway.

"Ah..." Chen Mengsheng looked up and saw a Chinese character of spring engraved on the plaque in the archway. Could it be that this character of spring is the day and day that Kurojiu said?
