Qin Shaoyou did not see anyone else appear in the memory of Diao Ke turning into evil spirits, so this was probably an accident.
A man-made accident.
The reason why I say this is because the day when Diao Ke inhaled the ghost energy of the Fuso ghost tree and turned into evil spirits was the time when the drought first started in Mianyuan County.
In the past few days, Qin Shaoyou looked through many relevant records in the county government offices and the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Department, and found that since the drought, demon incidents have been occurring continuously in Mianyuan County.
He also discussed this matter with several of his subordinate flag officers, and everyone agreed that these demonic affairs were probably related to the transformation of the Corpse King into a demon.
This was done by the Corpse King and Xu Fangjun to disturb the view.
The purpose is to attract the attention of the Demon Suppression Department and interested people so that they will not set their sights on the Dragon King Temple in Shuanggui Village.
It must be admitted that these methods devised by the Corpse King and Xu Fangjun are still of some use.
If they hadn't met Ye Zhiqiu, Qin Shaoyou and others, they might have relied on these deception methods to get through and turn the Corpse King into a monster.
Back to the matter of Diao Ke turning into evil spirits.
Qin Shaoyou deduced that there should be a vein connected to the underground cave near the road where the funeral procession was attacked.
That earth vein contains the ghost energy deliberately released by the Corpse King and Xu Fangjun.
When a funeral procession is attacked and people die, it is a very vicious thing. Not to mention that the people who died are full of resentment and hatred.
These evil spirits aroused the ghost energy in the earth's veins and resonated with them.
It happened that the ghost of Diao Ke turned into an evil ghost and stayed in the world, so the ghost energy of the Fuso ghost tree entered its soul, turning it into an evil ghost.
So this thing is both a coincidence and man-made.
Diaoke, who turned into a ghost, followed the scent of his mother's coffin and found the group of bandits who attacked them.
These bandits had no idea that a catastrophe was approaching. They were lighting bonfires, drinking wine and having fun in their cottage lair.
The sudden appearance of Diao Ke startled the bandits.
But the bandits were all vicious people, so after recognizing Diao Ke, they didn't panic anymore.
Some bandits even laughed loudly: "When you were alive, we could kill you, but now that you have become a ghost, how can we be afraid of you? It's just a long night to have some fun with you!"
These bandits had a lot of lives on their hands, and naturally they had seen some ghosts who were unwilling to die and came to seek their lives.
But as they say, if you can kill a living person, how can you be afraid of ghosts?
Almost all the ghosts who came to seek revenge on them were killed by them.
This time, the bandits thought they would be no exception.
However, just when the bandits were about to take out feces, urine, black dog blood and other materials and splash them on Diao Ke, Diao Ke took action before them.
Diao Ke, who has the power of evil spirits, is far beyond the imps and demons that these bandits have seen before.
In an instant, the bandits' necks were tied with ropes made of ghosts and evil spirits, and they were all dragged to death.
There were even bandits whose necks were broken and their heads were dragged off.
Including the bandit leader.
It's a pity that he can't enjoy the coffin he snatched back.
Overnight, Diao Ke killed all the bandits, and also used hanging ropes made of evil spirits to restrain the souls of the bandits, so that they could not go to the underworld and could only be enslaved and controlled by them.
The hanging guest took the group of bandits and ghosts back to the place where the funeral procession was attacked. He asked the bandits and ghosts to carry the body here, and then helped the old woman back into the coffin. Then he ordered the bandits and ghosts to hold white banners. , beating gongs and trumpets, acting as a funeral procession.
It first took the bandit ghost to the cemetery of my choice for burial, and then buried the relatives and friends who died due to the bandit attack in the left and right sides of my mother's cemetery.
If the matter ends here, Diao Ke's soul will return to the underworld. Even if it destroys the souls of these bandits before leaving, Qin Shaoyou will still have to praise it as a man who avenged his relatives and himself.
It's a pity that Diao Ke was lost after he tortured and killed the bandits, imprisoned their souls, tasted the taste of living life and blood, and enjoyed the power to control the life and death of others.
Especially after avenging his mother and burying his relatives and friends who died tragically, the last wish in his heart was granted, and he was completely lost in desire.
Not only did its soul return to Hades, but it also stayed in the human world forcibly.
In order to gain more power and acquire more evil ghost slaves, he began to harm innocent people.
It was not enough to harm people in the suburbs. Diao Ke also came to the county town and staged a story of claiming his life.
The former dragon slayer has become an evil dragon.
The story of Diao Ke made Qin Shaoyou very sad.
At the same time, in the memories of Diao Ke turning into a ghost after his death, Qin Shaoyou also saw the old temple Zhu and several beggars.
Diaoke was able to enter Mianyuan County because he was brought in by Lao Miaozhu.
At that time, the Chenghuang Temple was very deserted, and there were no pilgrims offering money or food.
In order to have food to eat, Lao Miaozhu often helped people with funerals and performed rituals that broke hell and sent blood rivers.
Lao Miaozhu himself didn't know whether these rituals were useful, but as long as the family of the deceased found them useful, he could also use them to make a few meals and get some hard-earned money.
Not long ago, Lao Miaozhu took over a funeral job in the countryside outside the city. On his way back to the city after finishing the job, he met the mourner.
Diao Ke did not harm Lao Miao Zhu's life, but only coerced and induced Lao Miao Zhu to bring the rope on which he lived into the city and enshrine it on the head of the City God.
Although Lao Miao Zhu was old, he still didn't want to die. In addition, Diao Ke not only threatened and threatened him, but also offered inducements, saying that he would help him build up the incense in the Chenghuang Temple, so that he no longer had to go out to do funerals for people to make a living.
So Lao Miao Zhu compromised and brought the rope where the hanging visitor lived back to the City God's Temple.
At first, Lao Miaozhu was a little afraid, fearing that the City God would accuse him of conspiring with demons and ghosts.
However, after Diao Kejiu occupied the magpie nest and killed several people in succession, the City God showed no reaction at all, and Lao Miao Zhu felt relieved.
Although the people killed by Hang Ke were all neighbors, Lao Miao Zhu not only had no sympathy and sympathy, but felt that they deserved what they deserved.
Who told them not to come to the City God's Temple to burn incense and offer money, food, melons and fruits while they were still alive?
They deserve to be killed by evil spirits!
This is all retribution!
After Diaoke began to harm people, many neighbors came to the Chenghuang Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and the incense here gradually became better.
Lao Miao Zhu was very happy. In order to keep the good reputation of Chenghuang Temple, he helped the evildoers even more. He even deliberately helped Diao Ke cover up when the night watchman came to investigate.
That is to say, Zhu Xiucai knew that there was something weird in the City God's Temple through his developed spy, so he asked the night watchman to calm down and put on casual clothes to investigate, otherwise the old temple Zhu would definitely hide it again.
As for those beggars, just as Qin Shaoyou guessed, they were not good people.
After they heard about the incidents of people demanding their lives in these streets, they first took advantage of the chaos and went to the deceased's house to steal property.
Later, the desire became stronger and the courage became bigger. During the day, I would identify the target, wait until night, touch it, kill people, steal money, strangle the deceased, pretend to hang himself, and blame the victim for hanging. superior.
The beggars thought they were doing these things without anyone noticing, but they didn't know that Diao Ke had already seen all this.
But Diao Ke did not expose them, but indulged them.
It wants to raise these beggars as gu, and when they have harmed many people and become infected with more resentment, hostility, hatred, and karma, it will kill them and turn them into ghosts to grow stronger. own strength.
It's just that Diaoke didn't expect that the Gu was not cultivated, but was betrayed by the cultivated Gu...
This is also considered karma.
After reading these remaining memories of Diao Ke, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but sigh.
This individual, this scene of events, are all manifestations of the dark side of human nature.
fine……
Qin Shaoyou raised his head and looked at the night watchman who was fighting a bloody battle with the evil ghost in the yard.
Fortunately, in this dark world, there is still such a group of night watchmen.
Although they have all kinds of flaws and problems, they use their lives to protect their peace.
These night watchmen are not watching the night, but a little bit of hope and light in the darkness.
