Just now, the leader taught them to ignite these white flowers, and after burning the white flowers, he told them that jumping into the sea of ​​fire would lead to the paradise world.

As a result, they followed many people nearby and jumped into the sea of ​​​​fire. When others were about to jump in, hearing the bell was like a blow to the head. They woke up a lot, but they were not completely awake yet.

Later, when they smelled those white flowers again, their thoughts of death disappeared. However, out of caution, they still held on to those white flowers.

These words stunned Chief Ke and the others, and they escorted Zhang Xiaoshi back to the county town. After returning to the county town, the first thing Qiu Wuhen did was to ask all the believers if they had found them.

After learning that they had been found, he immediately asked the congregants where all the flowers were. When he learned that they had all been gathered together to take them back, Qiu Wuhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, each member of the congregation was asked to hold a bouquet of flowers in their hands and smell it. Gradually, they began to wake up from a dream, and they were all at a loss as to where they were.

Chief Ke reported the matter to Feizhi County. Feizhi County was shocked and angry and wanted to interrogate Xiaoshi Zhang personally.

For the sake of caution, Qiu Wuhen and Master Yin Ling were nearby, just in case. They also used iron chains to lock Xiaoshi Zhang's pipa bone directly, so that even if Zhang Xiaoshi had magic power, he couldn't use it.

However, this little master Zhang was completely out of luck, as if his magic power had been broken by the deaf-mute monk, and soon Yiwuyi explained everything.

But it turned out that he was really not a disciple of Zhang Tianshi, but had only met Zhang Tianshi's disciple before, so he was ready to imitate him and use his fame to teach.

In fact, he is just a wandering Taoist who accidentally learned a hypnotic technique. The purpose of this sleep technique is to drive people to commit suicide and use other people's souls for cultivation. No one knows whether there is such a thing. But

That's what he did.

At first he was near the capital, but later he was quickly discovered and recognized that he was not a disciple of Zhang Tianshi. They beat him so violently that he almost died.

He ran away secretly, not daring to cheat near the capital, so he ran to the remote Yunduan County. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly met the Su family who knew Zhang Tianshi here.

A major event in the capital at that time was that the Su family recruited a poor scholar. Because the Su family was considered a famous family in the capital. Although they did not have much power, they were extremely wealthy and were a rich man. This attracted attention.

know this.

When he found out that it was Qiu Wuhen who was following him, he subconsciously felt that he had been discovered and that Qiu Wuhen was going to cause trouble for him.

He was also worried that the people of the Su family would recognize that he was not a real disciple of Zhang Tianshi, so he used his hypnosis skills to call a dozen of his buddies who followed him to assassinate the Su family. Unexpectedly, Qiu Wuhen found out.

When the truth came out, Fei Zhixian was extremely grateful and praised Qiu Wuhen repeatedly for his great achievements.

However, Qiu Wuhen found that the medicine gourd still did not appear in his mind, nor did he announce the completion of the task and give a reward. Is there anything missing that has not been completed, or maybe the previous part was fake and the real culprit was someone else.

No, the mission this time is to find the reason why the person who committed suicide committed suicide. Wasn't he hypnotized? Isn't it this reason or something else?

Qiu Wuhen pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered, and said to Qian Jinzhi with a smile: "I know."

Qian Jinzhi felt strange and asked him: "What do you know?"

"I know how the four of them died."

Qian Jinzhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I know it too. They were hypnotized and committed suicide."

"You are wrong. At that time, this magical white flower appeared that could prevent others from committing suicide. Many people were hypnotized. And they have all confessed that they were all bewitched by Zhang Xiaoshi and originally planned to die together that day."

"But only the four of them died, and no one else died. That's because the scent of white flowers was everywhere in and outside the city. These believers were driven away from the idea of ​​committing suicide by the scent of white flowers, so none of them died.

.”

"Only the four of them, because they had problems with their noses, so they couldn't be treated by this floral fragrance, and they couldn't restrain their urge to commit suicide, so that they eventually died, so what killed them was Zhang Xiaoshi's hypnosis again

Plus their noses.”

Qian Jinzhi was shocked and said, "What are you talking about? Do you mean they can't smell these smells at all?"

"Yes, so they couldn't get the aroma of this suicidal impulse in their bodies that could restrain their suicidal wishes, and that's why they were finally deceived by Zhang Xiaoshi and died. This can be seen from the fact that after the flowers were burned on Yeji Mountain tonight, ten people

Multiple people jumped into the sea of ​​fire and burned themselves to death to prove it."

"Others would have died, but this all happened after those flowers disappeared. This means that those flowers have the effect of restraining the urge to commit suicide. The reason why they cannot restrain themselves is because there is something wrong with their noses."

Qian Jinzhi said: "In this case, how do you know that there is something wrong with their noses and they can't smell this smell?"

"You forgot one thing. The smell of rouge used to make people's hair stuffy, but Wang Xiaosi said that he couldn't smell it at all. Yinchai once asked him if he liked it, and Wang Xiaosi said that he had never known anything since he was a child.

When the flowers are fragrant, because he can't smell the fragrance, Yinchai still laughs at him."

"The reason why Wang Xiaosi was not protected by those flowers and was eventually hypnotized by Zhang Xiaoshi to commit suicide was because he couldn't smell. I think it should be the same for other people, who have nose problems and can't smell."

After Qiu Wuhen translated this sentence, the Chinese medicine gourd in his mind jingled, and a string of words appeared: "The mission is completed, and I have obtained the ninth rank official."

Qiu Wuhen was stunned for a moment, thinking what did this mean? Could it be that he was telling himself that he could become an official? The ninth-grade official is the lowest rank among officials. After that, he will not be in the mainstream. If he is not in the mainstream, he will not be an official.

Not really, but the ninth grade official is still a tasteful official.

But what kind of official it was? Yao Hulu did not say.

Qiu Wuhen asked very curiously: "It means that the reward I will get after completing this task is to be a ninth-grade official. Can this organ tell me what it is?"

The medicine gourd shook twice, and a line of words appeared: "You will know later."

Then it shook twice more and disappeared.

Qiu Wuhen felt really itchy in her heart. In the past, the rewards for completing tasks were cashed immediately, but this time there was nothing. She had to wait a while. How long would it take?

Qiu Wuhen waited for a long time, but there was no movement from the medicine gourd, so he said to Qian Jinzhi: "Okay, let's go about our own business."

The Su family was still in the yamen. Qiu Wuhen went to call the family and told them that they were safe now. All the thieves who killed them had been caught and captured, and they could all go home. Everyone looked at Grandma Su.

It depends on her idea whether to go home or rent another place.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Su, who was worried that her whole family would be killed, immediately said happily: "Now that all the thieves have been caught, what are we waiting for? Let's all go home as soon as possible."

So a large number of people gathered around the old lady and returned to Xie's house.

After entering the garden, it was already dim and bright, and everyone was even more at ease. Although their sleep was not stable at dawn, it was at least solid.

Master Yinling also said goodbye and went back, saying that she would come back the next night to catch ghosts.

After she left, the Su family members went back to their rooms to rest. Qiu Wuhen followed his wife Su Jinsong to the small attic. Just as he reached the door of the stairs, Qiu Wuhen suddenly grabbed his wife and whispered: "Wait a moment, the attic

There's someone inside."

Su Jinsong was so frightened that he hid behind her husband and looked nervously at the attic.

Qiu Wuhen shouted loudly into the attic: "Who are you, come out."

As soon as the door opened, a monk appeared, but it was a deaf-mute monk.

He put his hands together and said, "Sir, the young monk has been waiting here for a long time."

Qiu Wuhen was surprised and happy, and said, "Why is it you?"

"It was inconvenient to talk on the mountain before, so I'm waiting here."

"You are so capable that you actually came to my home."

He immediately turned to his wife and said, "You go to my sisters' place to rest first, and I'll have a conversation with the master."

"At most, a cup of tea and a few words will be enough."

Su Jinsong agreed, turned around and left.

Qiu Wuhen then stepped into the attic and said, "Master, please sit down."

"There's no need to sit down. I'm just here to clear up your doubts. What do you want to know?"

Qiu Wuhen thought about it and said, "There are a few things that I really don't understand. One is why there is Yinchai's fingerprint under your Zen bed. Was it left before or after her death?"

"Don't you, sir, never believe in ghosts and gods? How could you think that she stayed after she died?"

"I only believe in facts."

"Okay, then I can tell you, sir, that it was left behind by her before she died. On the day of the accident, they came here several times and had a quarrel. This silver hairpin wanted to hide under my bed."

"Because she estimated that the girl named Meifeng who was with her would have an affair with Cheetah on the bed in my room. Because Cheetah is the prettiest among them all, Yinchai was very jealous. She wanted to catch him and rape her.

Bed, and then ask Zhang Dalang to take good care of Meifeng."

"Unexpectedly, Meifeng and Cheetah didn't come into the house at all. They just looked at the door and left, so she followed them out."

"Could it be that you were hiding upstairs and saw it?"

The deaf-mute monk did not continue to explain, but said: "Do you have any other doubts?"

"Of course, there are also, for example, why Master Zhang sent Qi San and Wang Xiaosi to deliver two letters to you each. One was delivered and the other was not. Do you know the reason?"

"Of course I know that he wants to fight with me and force me to leave. He did some tricks on the envelope and wrote invisible talismans on it, but in fact I am not afraid of these."

"Then Qi San said that he saw someone writing a note on the table in the Zen room, saying that Qi San died on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, followed by something like a ghost drawing a talisman, and he didn't know what it was written, and whether it was written by you.

"

"That's right. Actually, I just wanted to help him. I also drew a talisman to solve the disaster on him. Because I found that he seemed to have been deeply poisoned. Unfortunately, he didn't finish reading at all and just rubbed it.

Throw it away in a ball, otherwise his life could have been saved."

"And Wang Xiaosi didn't come to my meditation room, so there was no way to save him. Both of them were destined to suffer this fate. Even if I wanted to resolve it, it would be useless."

"Of course, the other sister who burned fried cakes and the one who committed suicide in the Yamen never came to Yeji Temple, so I couldn't save them. As the saying goes, Buddha saves people who are destined to be saved, but I have no destiny, so I will not take the initiative
