"Why are you shouting? You're already dead!" Ghost Officer Liu hit Sun Ju with his ghost staff. Sun Ju shuddered in pain, and after hearing Ghost Officer Liu's words, he froze in place.
At this time, Fang Jian had already arrived at the mourning hall and took a look at Sun Qing's body lying on the bed in the middle of the hall.
Upon seeing this, Fang Jian's eyes fixed instantly. He saw two deep bloody tooth marks on Sun Ju's neck. At the same time, Sun Ju's body was dry and the skin was tightly wrapped around the bones, just like a person who had starved to death.
Moreover, Sun Qi's skin turned black, exactly the same as the symptoms of the magic poison on Zhou Qinghan's body.
"Sun Qi must have been possessed by a demon." Muramasa, who was standing nearby, took a look at Sun Qi's body, then turned around and said to the elders in the village around him with a worried look on his face.
Fang Jian left the mourning hall and came to the outer room, where he saw the ghost of Sun Jin kneeling and crying in front of the ghost officers Hou and Liu.
"It's no use crying to us. We're only responsible for arresting souls." The ghost messenger said to Sun Jin impatiently. Just then, he saw Fang Jian coming out, so he pointed at Fang Jian and said, "This is the land god of Yangxia County. If you have any grievances, please tell him."
Sun Jin turned around and saw Fang Jian, a man radiant with divine light, walking towards him. He immediately bowed and said, "Lord of the Land, please help me! I died in vain!"
Fang Jian came up to Sun Qi and asked, "Tell me the truth about what happened to you today, otherwise I can't make a decision for you."
Sun Qi was startled when he heard this, then he trembled with fear and said, "I... I don't know what happened to me. I was walking down the mountain when I heard a noise behind me. I thought it was an animal, so I turned around and saw a dead tree flash by. I couldn't see it clearly. Then something grabbed me from behind. It was as hard as a tree root, and then it pierced my neck, and then I... then I was like this."
"A dead tree?" Fang Jian frowned upon hearing this. "Could it be a tree spirit? Impossible! If it were a tree spirit, I'd definitely be able to find it in my land register."
Thinking of this, Fang Jian felt that he had no clue about this matter. He thought Sun Qin knew something, but he didn't expect that he couldn't see clearly what it was.
"Sun Qi, although you died in vain, this matter needs further investigation before it can be resolved. So you should stay in the underworld for a few days first. I will give you an explanation after I find the person who killed you." Fang Jian said to Sun Qi.
Sun Qi hurriedly asked, "God of Land, may I be resurrected?"
Fang Jian looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "It all depends on how the King of Hell arranges it. I can't make the decision."
Upon hearing this, Sun Jin was stunned. At this moment, the ghost officer pulled the soul-binding rope and said, "Let's go. Follow us to the underworld to stay for a while."
