Regarding Wengen's inappropriate teasing, both Zhongkui and Zhiqing were speechless.

Zhiqing is not very interested in the theory of ghosts and gods, but there are some things that cannot be explained clearly from a scientific point of view. Take the two explorers for example! Such good people, they came to Menling

Accidents occurred one after another in the village, especially the deep black color of the photo held in the hand of the deceased, which gave people an extremely horrifying feeling.

Zhong Kui combined what he saw in the dream with what he saw in reality and speculated that when Old Man Xia had the accident, they were all sleeping soundly. His ghost floated out of the well and subconsciously returned to the place where he was alive.

Zhong Kui, on the other hand, recklessly used the short-handled scabbard for no apparent reason and wiped out Old Man Xia's soul.

Thinking of this, Zhong Kui felt very regretful. He couldn't say such a thing. Even if he did, would Zhi Qing and Wen Gen believe it?

Just when Zhong Kui was feeling regretful, the scoundrel suddenly returned from the outside, making a sound of paws running on the ground, wagging his tail, and came in front of Zhong Kui and the others. He held a shoe in his mouth, which was a tight-fitting liberated shoe.

shoe.

Zhong Kui and Zhong Kui were stunned for a moment, looking at Lai Pi and feeling very strange. Lai Pi kept wagging his head at them, refusing to lose his Liberation Shoe.

Wen Gen beside him had already burst out laughing. What a funny dog. He actually knew that Zhong Kui had no shoes to wear, so he brought him a half-new Jiefang shoe.

Zhong Kui and Zhi Qing didn't think there was anything funny. Based on what Lai Pi did in the cemetery that day, it was reasonable for the dog to behave no less than human beings. Dogs are originally human beings' most loyal friends. For a nurturing person,

Its owners for decades can express interesting behaviors in a humane way, and maybe it will do something else.

The shoe that Lai Pi brought was definitely a targeted question. It was also about the cause of old man Xia's death. Zhiqing and Zhong Kui reached a consensus and looked at each other. They took the right foot from Lai Pi.

Jiefang shoes, looking at them over and over.

The upper of this strange Jiefang shoe is wet, and there is a small amount of mud on the bottom of the shoe. The top of the shoelace is slightly damaged and threaded. The size of the shoe is 44 and a half. Judging from the shoe size, the person who wears this pair of shoes should say less.

It's also 1.78 meters tall.

Judging from the moisture content of the shoes, they must have been brought back from outside. Could it be that they were brought from the moso bamboo forest in Laoshuijing? But when they found Old Man Xia, he had nothing but a pair of water carriers and a wooden bucket.

Something!

From this point of view, this shoe may be in a place where no one can see it, or it may be in the bamboo forest next to the well. It can be seen that although the texture of the shoe is not old, it can still be worn.

Keep it for a while! It won't be thrown away casually.

Besides, Jiefang shoes are more fashionable than semi-rubber shoes, which means they are not ordinary. Generally speaking, there are almost no people wearing these Jiefang shoes in rural areas, but those with special backgrounds in the county may own one or two pairs.

If you picked up this one shamelessly, could there be another one somewhere? This thought came to mind, and Zhiqing immediately called Zhong Kui and Wen Gen to search every corner of the Xia family's house.

And decided to go to the well behind the house and take a closer look.

It was getting dark now, and a layer of gray mist had risen in the mountains outside. Wengen was timid and had to search for Zhiqing and the others together, so the three of them were safe together and wouldn't worry about anything happening.

As a result, they did find some clues during this search. They just found some dull books from under Old Man Xia's bed, and these books are exactly the contraband being investigated today.

Zhiqing took out these books and took a closer look at the titles of the Sixty-Four Hexagrams of the Book of Changes, Feng Shui Taboos, Feng Shui Decoration, Feng Shui Layout, Ten Moves to See Ghosts, etc. There was also a book with a profound saying on it;

Fate, luck and feng shui'

From this, it seems that Old Man Xia is not just a farmer. The reason why he hides himself is actually to protect himself from being suppressed and persecuted by various activities.

When Zhong Kui learned from Zhi Qing that Old Man Xia was a very good Feng Shui master, he seemed to understand something all of a sudden. He still remembered that his father once told him that he had a friend who was very knowledgeable about Feng Shui gossip.

. Could it be Old Man Xia, but why did he say he didn’t know his father?

Yes, Old Man Xia was indeed the gambling expert Zhong Kui said. Only because he lost his old friend in the bet, he hid these ancestral contraband items under the bed and vowed not to look at them in the future.

In fortune telling, Old Man Xia counted the fortunes of his whole life, including his wife, his daughter, and his old friend Zhong Mingfa. From then on, he no longer talked much, and spent all day dealing with Huang Niba, giving

My own black dog chatters.

Old Man Xia thought that he would be able to live a peaceful life for a few days, but what he didn't expect was that during his lifetime, he would actually see his old friend's adopted son Zhong Kui. He also met Chen Zhiqing, a cultural man from the big city. When he was satisfied, he would settle in his stomach.

I have spoken to them all my life.

What Old Man Xia never expected was that his quick talk would lead to an unexpected fatal disaster. Whoever killed him will be revealed later.

In other words, everything has a certain fate, and it is also something that is destined. Old man Xia felt guilty, knowing that sooner or later, he would have to face the person who took the first step, but this time came too soon.

After learning Old Man Xia's true identity, Zhiqing told Wen Gen not to leak the matter, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble for the three of them.

While Zhiqing was reading these contraband books, Zhong Kui and Wen Gen checked the room one by one, including the doghouse twice, but they found no trace of the other Jiefang shoe.

It seems that Snatcher did indeed pick up one Jiefang shoe, so the other one was on the owner's foot and was taken home. If the owner of this shoe is found, can the murderer of Old Man Xia be directly found?

There are many things going on at the moment, Zhiqing and Zhong Kui are going to investigate the Menling Village incident and the female corpse in the ancient tomb.

Wen Gen is responsible for the task of finding the owner of this liberated shoe.

Before the three of them took action, Liu Wengen seemed to have something to say to his master.

Zhiqing hinted to Zhong Kui to wait a moment and walked straight over.

Zhong Kui stroked Lai Pi with his hand and caught a glimpse of Liu Wengen glancing towards him intentionally or unintentionally when he was talking to Zhi Qing. As for what they were talking about, Zhong Kui had no time to ask, but he never thought that they

The discussion between the master and the apprentice was to give him topics that were closely related to him.

The former reservoir is now overgrown with weeds and full of large and small potholes. Many strange-shaped willow trees have grown out of the potholes. It is very desolate, and the potholes are still bubbling. Those blisters are due to the perennial

Not flowing, dark green in color and with an unpleasant smell.

Zhiqing and Zhong Kuiju stood at the edge of the reservoir, looking at everything in front of them with solemn expressions.

"Uncle Chen, what do you think is under the willow tree?" Zhong Kui stared blankly at the roots of the bubbling willow tree and said to Zhi Qing beside him.

Zhiqing's eyes were fixed on those strange willow trees, and he was also thinking about this problem in his mind. According to Zhong Kui's description of the reservoir, this place should not become the habitat of strange willows.

Think carefully about a reservoir that supports a hundred people. How could the reservoir be filled into a swamp-like pothole without abnormal crustal movements or earthquakes? If there is no such possibility, then there is only one possibility.
