Be pampered after being reborn with an old enemy

Chapter 9

The water bridge was under Di Jiao's feet, wherever he stepped on, they scattered into beads behind him, but they didn't fall, but flew towards the people on both sides of the strait.

The people cheered immediately, raising their hands to catch the beads, the water drops crackled and fell, bringing out countless small rainbows in the morning sun, and the colorful rainbows bloomed behind Di Jiao, as if coating him with a layer of holy light .

Then Di Jiao jumped onto the round platform, and the disciples on the eight dragon boats finally opened their mouths to sing, the melody of bells and drums spread faintly, and Di Jiao finally danced.

At the end of the first fold, Di Jiao flipped her wrist, a jet of water shot up into the sky, the white waves receded, and after the water splashes fell, a huge water-condensing faucet came out of the river——

The people on both sides of the strait were excited, and they took out sacrifices and threw them at Jiangxin. Some even aimed at the mouth of the water dragon, as if as long as he threw it in, he would really be favored by the dragon clan.

After Luo Yu passed, the song of chanting the dragon started again, and when it stopped, the dragon's head had been raised, and one third of the dragon's body was exposed.At the end of the Dragon Song, a huge transparent water dragon leaped onto the river. The scene was as spectacular as anyone can imagine.

Cang Chennai was so excited that she clapped her hands and laughed, all the elders applauded, and the people on both sides of the strait cheered collectively, but Cang Linxue stared at the red figure on the round platform and couldn't bear to move her eyeballs. Those eyes were just a spark away, which could start a prairie fire in no time. It's really... hard to describe!

Di Jiao smiled and flipped her fingers, and the water dragon swam in mid-air, high or low, sometimes passing over the heads of the people, causing the crowd to scream.

At this point, hitting the heart of the river reached its peak, crackling water splashed everywhere, and the river surface was very lively for a while.

With the sound of gold beeping, the drum beat again, the water dragon soared into the sky, and finally exploded in the sky, and the water droplets fell, like the three clean water hitting the people on both sides of the strait, washing away the dust and blessing, which attracted the crowd to laugh again.

I don't know who took the lead, the people shouted Di Jiao's name, the voice brought out a feeling of admiration from the heart, as if Di Jiao was the god they had been enshrining for a long time, and today he came to bless them and eliminate their karma .

Amidst the cheers, someone suddenly screamed, and then the screams continued.Someone pointed to a spot on the surface of the river and yelled wildly, attracting more people to look there, and saw several black spots floating on the surface of the river at some point, and those with good eyesight recognized that those spots were not driftwood. but people.

Under what circumstances will people float on the water and be as quiet as a tree without moving?

dead.

It is taboo and unlucky to see floating corpses in river sacrifices.

Cang Linxue immediately ordered people to take a small boat to salvage it.The elders of the Foreign Affairs Hall hurriedly led all the disciples ashore to appease the frightened people.

Di Jiao flicked his fingers, and a water lotus rose from the river. He stepped on it, and the center of the lotus automatically extended to support Di Jiao and sent him back to the deck of the main dragon boat.

Only when Di Jiao stood firm, Cang Chennai rushed over, hugged his thigh, and looked at him adoringly.Di Jiao immediately picked up the little girl, Chen Nai hugged his neck and smeared his chin, and said with a smile: "Daddy, Chen Nai wants to learn how to draw dragons, learn to draw dragons!!"

"Well, okay, I'll go back and teach you."

Cang Linxue also came over at this time, took Cang Chennai from Di Jiao's arms, and at the same time pulled Di Jiao's wrist, feeling his pulse without leaving a trace.

At this moment, Di Jiao's attention was on the river, he frowned and looked at the three salvaged corpses, and said in a deep voice: "There is something wrong with the corpses, I'll go down and have a look."

He jumped after he finished talking, but Cang Linxue still pulled him and had to jump down with him.

There were three more members of the family on the small boat, which was unstable and swayed badly.Fortunately, the elder reacted quickly and let a few young disciples jump into other small boats in time to avoid the risk of capsizing.

Without exception, the three corpses were all skinny and bony, like water sacs that had been drained dry, shriveled but not rotten, like dried vegetables that had been sun-dried, and they could still see their original appearance.

Di Jiao knelt down, took a closer look, and said solemnly, "It's human."

The elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall said: "I also look like it, but today we happened to have this thing appear in our Lingxiao Pavilion River Festival, no matter how you look at it, it is not a coincidence."

Di Jiao stood up, looked in the direction where the corpse was floating, and said, "It's still coming against the current, it must be because of human beings."

The elder was so angry that he scolded the street in a low voice, "Which son of a bitch can't see how good our Ling Xiao Pavilion is, and deliberately used this kind of trick..."

"Take it back for a quick check." Cang Linxue said.

Everyone didn't delay anymore, they all understood that there are people on both sides of the strait now, and this matter can be suppressed as much as possible.

It was a good river festival, but people panicked because of this inexplicable person.

Although the common people all have the heart of gossip, but under the persuasion of the disciples of Ling Xiao Pavilion, they all understand that no matter how curious they are, they still have to put their own safety first, and they all left the venue following the guidance.

The dragon boat sailed slowly, making it back to the wharf in the pavilion.

The boat had just landed, and some disciples came to report in a hurry, saying that Cang Xuancan had been crying since he woke up in the morning.This time Di Jiao directed Cang Linxue without waiting for him to speak, "Go and coax the child! I'll go and watch the business."

After Di Jiao finished speaking, she rushed to the criminal prison.

When he arrived, Elder Wu Changlong and Elder Helian were surrounding the three corpses for autopsy.The two always believed that these three corpses were all killed by people draining the water in their bodies with the water spirit blessing technique, and such corpses just happened to appear on the river when Di Gongzi danced to sing the dragon song, which shows the design of all these People have sinister intentions, this is not only a challenge to Ling Xiao Pavilion, but more like trying to frame Mr. Di.

After listening to the analysis of the two, Di Jiao carefully inspected the meridians of the three corpses. The meridians were exhausted and interfered, but deliberately left a trace of water spirit. It is easy to think of water control technique.

"Have the identities of these three people been verified?" Di Jiao asked.

Wu Changlong said: "Elder Chen of the Foreign Affairs Hall has sent someone to investigate."

Just as he was talking, the young disciples from Elder Chen sent someone to invite them over.It turned out that the young disciples sent by Elder Chen to evacuate the crowd said that some young masters who came to participate in the Jiang Festival refused to leave. In fact, one of them even went crazy and became a gangster on the spot.

When Di Jiao heard this, she hurriedly went to look for Elder Chen with several elders, and Elder Chen couldn't sit still at this moment, and was walking this way, the two sides met, and didn't care about what to say, Qi Qi stepped on the sword and flew again To the river.

At this moment, the riverside is already in chaos.Those who were timid naturally scattered away, but those who were bold and good-hearted all gathered around to comment on that person and watch the fun.

From the crowd on the third floor and the third floor, there were howls and howls from time to time, and the tone was miserable and not human.Several young disciples of the High Heaven Pavilion tried to persuade and persuaded, but it didn't work. They were sweating profusely and didn't know what to do. When they looked up and saw a sword in the air, they recognized their elders, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The people watching the excitement also found out the elders of the High Heaven Pavilion, and consciously gave them a piece of land.And the few men in the crowd who were originally howling ghosts, saw the elders of the High Heaven Pavilion and immediately rushed over and shouted 'help'!

Elder Chen frowned and helped one person up, and said, "Don't cry, talk well, what's going on?"

The man sobbed and said, "We were originally recruiters from Qinlou in Fuyu Town. A few years ago, Fuyu Town caught fire and Qinlou was burned. The boss sold us all to the holy world, and was seen by Mr. Xiao again." Go ahead and buy it back to the mansion. Master Xiao died suddenly five days ago, Mrs. Xiao drove us back to the Qin Tower. The Qin Tower was also on fire the day before yesterday. We have nowhere to go now, all the elders, please Poor, poor, save us!"

The man babbled a lot, but Di Jiao heard something unusual. The two Qin buildings were burned one after another. Could it be that the fire is still chasing them?And the sudden sudden death of Mr. Xiao is also very intriguing. Of course, these doubts are not as good as the man on the ground in front of him.

"Are you the only ones who were kicked out of the Xiao residence?" Elder Chen asked.

The man hesitated, and turned to look at another tall and thin man behind him.The thin and tall man had kept his head down before, but now he raised his face suddenly, everyone in Ling Xiao Pavilion was stunned when they saw his appearance, and subconsciously glanced at Di Jiao.

Di Jiao glanced at the tall and thin man but ignored him, and only chased the man before him and asked, "Why didn't you say anything?"

The thin and tall man took the conversation and said, "There are three more."

Di Jiao looked at him right now, sized him up twice, felt that this person looked somewhat like Cang Linxue, but still didn't pay much attention, and continued to ask: "But those three people on the river today?"

The thin and tall man: "I haven't confirmed it with my own eyes, so I dare not make a conclusion."

"Well," Di Jiao nodded, turned to the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall and said, "Elder Chen, take them back to identify the corpses first, and take this person back first too."

Elder Chen immediately took him away, while the tall and thin man turned his head and stared at Di Jiao as he walked, as if he wanted to see a hole in Di Jiao before he was reconciled.

At this time, Di Jiao was pulling Elder Helian and said in a low voice: "Let's go to Xiao's residence to have a look."

Elder Helian was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly nodded his head in agreement. Along the way, he was still wondering why Mr. Di had chosen to pick him up. He didn't realize until he arrived at Xiao's mansion that Mr. Di pulled him because he was suspicious of the cause of Mr. Xiao's death. Came here to seek medical evidence.

Mrs. Xiao was pleasantly surprised when she heard that Young Master Di and Elder Helian of Lingxiao Pavilion were visiting, she hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to entertain them well in the front hall, and she even dressed herself up before bringing her son Xiao Changyu out to meet the guests.

According to the custom in the holy world, people need to stop their spirits for seven days after death.During these seven days, filial sons and virtuous grandchildren need to cry non-stop for [-] hours. If the deceased has not returned to the sun, the burial can only be arranged.

To put it bluntly, it is to prevent suspended animation and give a chance to cheat the corpse.

In the past few days, the Xiao family has naturally been full of plain clothes, everyone is dressed in hemp, and the descendants wear mourning.

The Xiao family can be considered a big family in the city of High Heaven, but they are not big enough to be able to climb to the top of the High Heaven Pavilion.Therefore, when everyone heard that someone from the High Heaven Pavilion came to 'resent' Mr. Xiao, and that the person who came was still Mr. Di, they were no less surprised than Mrs. Xiao.

There is a saying that the dead are the most important, Di Jiao and Elder Helian didn't come to make trouble, so naturally they also went to the mourning hall to offer incense.Mrs. Xiao and her aunt accompanied her all the way. Although the incident happened suddenly, it didn't prevent her from feeling radiant on her face, and she kept smiling along with her until she heard Di Jiao said that Master Xiao would be re-examined, and her smile froze. At the corner of the mouth, I can't lift it up.

"This..." Mrs. Xiao was momentarily stunned, not knowing how to answer.But her son-in-law immediately turned cold, and said: "Why didn't you see all the immortals caring about my father's sudden death? Now he is waiting to be buried, but some of you came to say that there is a new autopsy. You are sincerely trying not to let his old man feel at peace. !!I disagree!"

Mrs. Xiao also calmed down and sang red and white face to her son.She first reprimanded her son for being rude, then put on her usual smirk, and said to Di Jiao and the others: "Fairies, don't make fun of me, a woman like me. You came here today to do an autopsy. If you don't know, you may think that you are a master." He died for no apparent reason, and now there are only us orphans and widowed mothers in the family, if this word gets out, our family's reputation will be ruined, and our life will not be able to go on?"

Di Jiao: "It's not as serious as you said, but if you don't cooperate today, I feel that there must be something wrong with this matter. Let me ask you, after Master Xiao left, how did you deal with the recruiters in the family?"

Mrs. Xiao's complexion changed suddenly, and the son's eyes also froze.

Seeing this, Di Jiao was even more sure that there must be an inside story here, and her tone became even tougher, saying: "During the river festival today, there was a surprise on the surface of the river, and you must have heard about it. In less than an hour, people on the shore Someone appeared again, and that person is the recruiter sent out by your Xiao family, what is the purpose of the recruiter, and who is it used for in this Xiao residence, Madam Xiao must know better than me."

"You!" The Di Zi felt that Di Jiao's words were offensive, and wanted to rush up but was held back by Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao's eyes flickered a few times, she finally nodded and said: "My master did buy a batch of people for obscenity, but after his death, it's really inappropriate for these people to stay at home, so I will let them go." It's done. Butler, where did you sell those people?"

The housekeeper said: "Go back to Madam, and sold it to the Qin Pavilion in Xianan District."

Madam Xiao: "Have you heard, now these people are no longer in my house, if something happens to them, please go to a new place to find them."

Di Jiao said with a smile: "Madam doesn't need to worry about that. I'm just here for an autopsy. Madam just needs to make it convenient."

At this point, if Mrs. Xiao refuses to follow suit, she will be really guilty. She has no choice but to lead Di Jiao and the others to the back door of the mourning hall, and ask the butler to invite the mourners out before the mourning hall. people go in.

The coffin was not sealed, and Mr. Xiao was lying in it, surrounded by a circle of orange sea lobelia. This lotus has antiseptic effect, and it is not uncommon for every family to use it when there is a funeral in summer.

Di Jiao gave Elder Helian a look, and Elder Helian led his disciples to surround him.After some inspection, Elder Helian frowned slightly and asked Mrs. Xiao, "Why did Master Xiao die?"

Mrs. Xiao's expression was extremely embarrassing for a moment, but she also understood that it was no longer a question of whether she wanted to talk about it, so she gritted her teeth and said, "It's going to happen right now."

Elder Helian didn't comment on this, turned around and said to his disciples, "Look for the acupoint with a long needle."

There was a sound of swishing, and the little disciples each had a pack of long needles, and according to the direction of the eight extraordinary meridians, a needle was inserted into each acupoint.Soon Master Xiao was tied into a hedgehog.

Mrs. Xiao and her son-in-law Xiao Changyu's faces were very ugly. Seeing that Xiao Changyu couldn't help but want to speak again, those long needles changed——

One long needle corresponds to one acupuncture point, and several of them have turned into several different colors such as purple, black, and green.

Now, the mother and son of the Xiao family exclaimed in surprise.

Di Jiao took two steps forward, carefully checked the acupuncture points and the color of the silver needle, and heard Elder Helian whispering from the side: "It's the fragrant corpse kiwi fruit."

Di Jiao nodded, "I remember that this fruit is extremely difficult to cultivate. It needs to use carrion as soil and night dew as irrigate. If you eat it, you will be like a puppet in the hands of others, and you will have no freedom in body and mind."

Elder Helian coughed, and whispered: "Master, you may not know that if those pickers are really from Fucheng Town, they are probably just marionettes in someone else's hands."

"What do you mean?" Di Jiao had never heard of this term.

Elder Helian leaned closer to his ear, and Di Jiao's face became more and more serious after he finished speaking like this.

It turned out that Nafuyu Town was originally a well-known hometown of tonic harvesting in the human world, and it was the property of the Kuang family.The Kuang family was ambitious back then, trying to open up spiritual apertures for ordinary people through the method of double cultivation, to raise money and to build troops.

They have raised a group of recruiters who are full of spiritual power. When these people are practicing with their benefactors, they forcibly open the spiritual orifices of the benefactors and send the spiritual power to them. The benefactors don't know how to do it. But he didn't know that not only did he give away money for nothing, but he also gave it away for nothing to use as bread for nourishing souls.

As the name suggests, nourishing naan is to use one's own body to nourish the spiritual power of others.It's useless to ask for something that isn't my own, or sell it for money, and it will cause death.

When the naval battle broke out, the Kuang family ordered the miners to use the nourishing pancakes accumulated over the years to become puppets in their hands.Fortunately, in that battle, the gods came to the world, and no disaster was caused.

This pollen-like method of controlling people is really troublesome, so the emperor was furious and ordered the town of Fucheng to be set on fire.

It's just that I didn't expect that Cairen would be sold to the holy world.And there are still such idiots in the holy world, who dare to buy people back to their homes without asking them clearly. It can be seen that even a knife on the head of the color word can't stop some people from selectively ignoring them.

After hearing this, Di Jiao said, "One thing doesn't seem to make sense."

Elder Helian hastily checked the silver needle again, then frowned, and said: "What does the young master mean, I would like to hear the details!"
