Chapter 45: Intimidation
Early the next morning
Under the leadership of Li Fugui, the five masters and apprentices found Liu Mincheng's family in the west of the village. The Liu family is not very rich in the whole village, but since Liu Fang's death, Liu Mincheng has found a job as a chef in a county restaurant, and his income this year is quite considerable.
Today's Liu family only has Liu Mincheng's wife Zhang Yulan and her two children. is different from Liu Fang, Zhang Yulan is very concerned about her two children. Especially the youngest son Liu Yu, who is almost like a treasure in the palm of their hands every day in their eyes.
"Master, are we really going to do this?" asked Zhu Bajie with some concern.
At this time, everyone was standing outside the gate of Liu's courtyard, looking at the wooden house in the fence, and they didn't know whether to walk in for a while.
Without waiting for Tang Seng to answer, Sun Wukong walked up to Zhu Bajie and asked, "Then do you have any other better way?"
"I, what can I do!" Zhu Bajie flicked his sleeves vigorously and muttered in a low voice.
Sun Wukong smiled, turned to Tang Seng and said, "Master, I think Xiao Jiu's method is very good. If we allow that female ghost to continue to haunt her, we are afraid that in the near future, the whole village will be killed by her. ”
Tang Seng nodded: "What Wukong said is reasonable, the teacher is just worried that we will annoy her by doing this? ”
Sun Wukong said with a smile: "Master, the so-called heart disease still needs heart medicine." Now that things have come to this, we might as well give it a try. Even if there is really something, isn't there still my grandson!"
"Yes, Master, what Senior Brother said is right!" the sand monk on the side agreed.
Ruan Jiu, who had been standing beside Sha Seng, was a little withdrawn at the moment. In fact, the method she proposed was very simple, although Liu Fang's death was because of those middle-aged men. But the root cause is still her parents. If the Liu family hadn't forced their daughter to marry Zhang Laohan, who sold coffins in a neighboring village, this might not have happened.
So Ruan Jiu thought of this method, using her parents' love for her children to make her completely sober up from hatred. It's just that this process must make Liu Fang feel the love of her parents. made her feel that she was actually very important in the eyes of her parents.
In this way, the hatred that has accumulated in her heart for a long time will disappear completely.
This method may seem simple, but it is actually the most difficult to implement. That's why Ruan Jiu has been worried, for fear that if he is not careful, he will be self-defeating.
Seeing that Ruan Jiu's face was not very good, Tang Seng asked with some concern, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Jiu shook his head and said for a long time, "Master, I ......"
Before Ruan Jiu could finish his words, he heard an angry roar from behind everyone. When I looked back, I saw a middle-aged woman in gray clothes running towards everyone with a menacing face.
"Who are you, and why are you blocking my door?" the middle-aged woman reprimanded loudly.
"Sister Magnolia, it's me!"
Li Fugui walked out from behind everyone at this time. I saw him greet Zhang Yulan with a smile on his face.
When Zhang Yulan saw that it was Li Fugui, her originally nervous mood relaxed a little.
"It turned out to be Village Chief Li, I don't know what kind of wind blew you in.
Li Fugui smiled a little embarrassedly: "That...... Let me introduce you to you. This is the Tang elder who came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and went to the Western Heaven to learn scriptures. ”
"Learning scriptures from the west?" Zhang Yulan frowned suspiciously, but when she saw the appearance of Zhu Bajie and the others, she was suddenly frightened and took a few steps back.
"Demon ...... Youkai!"
"Amitabha...... The female benefactor Mo Demon was afraid. Several of them were apprentices of poor monks, and although they were a little ugly, they were not bad people. Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said softly.
"Your apprentice......? It's clearly a youkai!"
Zhang Yulan still didn't believe it, and always kept a long distance from everyone.
"Auntie, what my master said is right. We're all good people!" Zhu Bajie stood aside and said with a smile.
"Sister Magnolia, they are really good people. You don't believe that they should always believe me, right?" Li Fugui also stood up and explained at this time.
Zhang Yulan looked Tang Seng up and down, and saw that their behavior was indeed no different from ordinary people, so she was a little relieved.
"Tell me, what is the matter with you coming to my house?" asked Zhang Yulan straight to the point.
Li Fugui wanted to take everyone into Zhang's house and sit down, but Zhang Yulan didn't agree. In desperation, Li Fugui had no choice but to give up.
"Sister Yulan, I don't know if Brother Mincheng is at home now?"
Zhang Yulan squinted at Li Fugui and snorted coldly: "At home?
Li Fugui laughed and said: "I don't think Brother Mincheng is such a person, and not everyone can go to work in the county." Everyone is envious!"
Zhang Yulan was noncommittal, but she was secretly proud in her heart. After all, her own man earns money, and she herself feels very face-saving in the village.
"That...... Sister Yulan, don't be busy, you said that this Elder Tang is a master with great mana. Hasn't our village been haunted lately? The elder said he could help us catch the ghost. Li Fugui saw that Zhang Yulan was in a good mood, so he began to say the lines he had prepared.
Zhang Yulan was also a little surprised when she heard that this monk of the Tang Dynasty could also catch ghosts.
"Really, that's great! If Elder Tang can catch that evil ghost, our village will really be peaceful!"
At this time, I only heard Sun Wukong stand up and say: "Where can a little ghost still need my master's shot? I can do it alone!"
"You?"
Zhang Yulan looked at Sun Wukong, obviously very skeptical of his words.
Sun Wukong smiled: "My old grandson never speaks. I had already looked around the village last night and found the demon on the roof of your house. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yulan's face suddenly turned pale.
"You...... What are you talking about?" Zhang Yulan's voice trembled, and at the same time, the corner of her eyes unconsciously looked towards the roof of her house.
"What are you doing so scared?" said Sun Wukong.
Zhang Yulan knew that she was out of shape, so she hurriedly controlled her emotions and looked at Sun Wukong with an angry face.
"You hairy little monk, you dare to talk nonsense! Our family is fine, how can there be ghosts!"
Sun Wukong was not angry either, and continued: "Don't be angry first. Let me ask you, do you know why that evil spirit is on the roof of your house?"
Zhang Yulan said angrily: "I don't know it, how can I know!"
"Oh, I don't know, but why did she tell me that this is her home?" Sun Wukong said with a smile.
