"Okay, Dong Ming's soul has just entered the new body, and it still needs one night to recover."

"You guys can go back first. I'll let you know when Dong Ming wakes up tomorrow."

Regarding Chen Huang's suggestion, Zhu Yun shook his head.

"Thank you, Master, for your kindness."

"But... I'm still here watching Dong Ming wake up, so I feel relieved."

Sang sat aside and closed his eyes to relax.

Liu Ye, a little tired, leaned aside and took a nap.

While Pei Liang gently twisted the beads, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Yun and Liu Ye.

"Have you had any recent cases in the Soul-Suppressing Department?"

"You two seem very tired."

Zhu Yun nodded somewhat distressedly.

There were no outsiders present, so Zhu Yun told all the recent problems in Chang'an City.

It turned out that just about a month ago, some people who were bitten to death for no apparent reason suddenly appeared in Chang'an City.

Judging from the marks on the teeth, it seems that they were caused by some larger dogs.

Originally, this was not a supernatural case, so naturally it was not the Soul Suppression Department's turn to investigate.

After the relevant personnel took the victim's body into custody, they defined it as a vicious dog injury and closed the case hastily.

After all, Chang'an City is so big, it is impossible to find that vicious dog that hurts people.

But soon, things started to go wrong.

Because, more and more people are starting to be attacked after the curfew at night.

The way most people died was almost exactly the same, they died with a piece of their throat bitten off.

But there are still a few people who are lucky enough to survive.

These people said they saw a pair of blood-red eyes in the dark night.

And what attacked them out of the darkness was a vicious dog!

"A vicious dog hurts someone?" Pei Liang showed a strange look: "But even so, maybe it was caused by a crazy vicious dog, but it's hard to talk about letting the soul-suppressing department take action."

Zhu Yun shook his head:

"Because according to the confessions of the survivors, they have serious differences about the size of the vicious dogs."

"The first survivor said that the dog's fur was brown and looked just like an ordinary domestic puppy."

"But according to the survivors' accounts from the second night, the dog's fur was black and its size was similar to that of a large hunting dog."

"On the third and fourth days, it became even more exaggerated."

"They said the dog was at least the size of an adult crawling on the ground."

"He even said that the dog had many ferocious human faces."

Pei Liang frowned.

If we look at the initial confession, it can be said that there is more than one crazy dog...

Then the following statement is a bit mysterious.

How could a dog be the size of a human and have a human face?

This is too strange.

"Of course, if that's the case, it could also be an hallucination caused by fear."

Zhu Yun added:

"But soon, problems began to arise with the bodies that had been bitten to death by vicious dogs but had not yet been buried."

"Because some of them are descendants of aristocratic families and have more rules."

"When the body was stored at home, it decomposed rapidly in the cold weather."

"Then...in the chest cavity surrounded by ribs, a palm-sized jade Buddha was found."

"After investigation, it can be ruled out that someone is playing tricks."

"And it is impossible for a body to rot overnight until only the skeleton is left."

At this time, Chen Huang also became interested.

"Emerald Buddha..."

"Well, jade is a psychic thing."

"Then, what about burning those corpses immediately?"

Zhu Yun waved his feather fan lightly:

"At that time, the relevant person in charge also suggested the same thing."

"But something weird happened. After the body was burned, the Jade Buddha still appeared."

"It's like the Jade Buddha cannot be burned."

"Moreover, the person who discovered the Jade Buddha suddenly went crazy a few days later, claiming that he was guilty."

"In the end...the body was petrified and turned directly into a stone statue!"

After Zhu Yun finished describing what happened.

Both Pei Liang and Chen Huang showed a dignified expression.

Qingran, who was standing in front of the crystal coffin, couldn't help but said: "Is this... a curse?"

Zhu Yun nodded:

"For now, that's all I can think about."

"My soul-suppressing department also has experts who master the art of curses. The head of the department is also a master who is good at curses."

"However, even they don't know what the principle of such a weird and complicated curse is."

Chen Huang nodded.

I have to say, this curse is really weird.

If a vicious dog bites a person, he or she will almost die. The body of a person who dies will quickly decompose. The jade Buddha appearing in the body will cause anyone who sees it to become insane and turn into a stone sculpture.

"So... what about those who were bitten by vicious dogs and survived in the end?" Chen Huang asked again.

Zhu Yun smiled bitterly and said:

"Although they are all still alive."

"The boss also came out to check and said there was no curse smell on them."

"But there is no way to prove this kind of thing."

"Anyway, those who survived said there were no abnormalities in their bodies."

Having said this, Zhu Yun couldn't help but pause and looked at Pei Liang with some confusion.

"Although these matters are being investigated by the Soul-Suppressing Department."

"But a few days ago, because of issues such as curfew, the Soul-Suppressing Division also handed over to the Jinwu Guards."

"Your general Wu Yonghao knows."

"Don't you know, General Zhonglang?"

Pei Liang smiled and shook his head.

"During this period, I have been feeling a little unwell, so I have been cultivating my mind and body at home. I really don't know what is going on outside."

Zhu Yun nodded and didn't care.

…

At the same time, Dong Ming, who was sleeping, faintly fell into a strange dream.

In the dream, it was an ordinary Buddhist temple.

A handsome monk in white clothes with a touch of cinnabar on his brow stood there.

He had a smile on his face and an extraordinary demeanor, and he was lightly twisting an emerald Buddha bead in his hand.

If you look closely, you will see that the beads are somewhat different.

Because each bead is carved into the shape of the Buddha's head.

He put his hands together, respectfully burned incense, recited sutras respectfully, and sat in front of the futon day and night.

He looked at the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha in front of him and seemed to be saying something.

Behind him, there was a faint sound of insults.
