Chapter 279: Chu Yuan's Scruples (I)
The sky was a little gloomy in the afternoon, and I don't know if it was because of the impending heavy rain, or because of the rumors about the thousand souls asking for their lives in Qiandu Town, it always felt that the entire Qiandu Town seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy gray atmosphere.
Gray sky, gray ground, gray house, gray pedestrian......
Grey World......
The murders for two consecutive days made Qiandu Town a little lifeless. Not many people are willing to go out during the day. Even if you have to go out to work to make money, you still have to walk by with your head down, or look behind you from time to time to see if something will follow. There are even some residents who have moved their families to relatives' houses early in the morning, and there is a rumor that a thousand souls are asking for their lives. The whole town was panicked. Even at night, the whole town is so quiet that you can feel a chill from your bones.
Qiandu Town, after five hundred years of peace. Nightmare, again.
Outside the crime scene. A conspicuous yellow cordon surrounded the house, but there were very few police officers standing guard outside, less than ten in all. The house where the murder was committed was even more empty, and the bodies had been taken away by the forensic doctor early in the morning. This is a rare phenomenon, there is no police to take care of a murder, but people in and out are wearing civilian clothes. There are men, women, and children, and they don't look like police officers. Some people even speculate whether they are a newly formed reasoning team, a new department dedicated to helping the police reason and solve cases? Or are they specially hired by the police to solve the case because they feel that they are not capable of solving this case? No matter how powerful the police are, can they deal with those unjust ghosts? Could these people be Taoist priests? As a result, rumors spread all over the place, and the rumors became more and more mysterious. There are all kinds of versions. Some people are still pestering those who can enter the murder house to keep Zhang Fu safe.
Like at this moment......
"Master, you can do it, okay, give Zhang Fu......" At this moment, the ghost fire was entangled by more than a dozen neighbors who lived next door and couldn't get out. Just to be able to ask him for something like a talisman that can drive away ghosts.
Ghost Fire was so anxious that he scratched his head and said with a bitter face: "Eldest sister." I'm really not a Taoist. ”
An older middle-aged woman pulled the corner of his clothes and didn't let go, and said anxiously: "Master, don't lie to me." Isn't it a Taoist priest, isn't it a Taoist priest, can the police let you in?"
Ghost Fire said with a smile: "I'm here to investigate the case." ”
"Even the police don't check, what else can you check? This is a thousand ghosts asking for their lives, except for the Taoist priest with high mana, who dares to touch that house?"
Another middle-aged woman next to her, a slightly younger one, answered, "Yes, master." I know you have scruples. Don't worry, our mouths are very strict and we won't talk nonsense. You see, this incident has caused our whole family to panic, and we dare not live any longer. You'd better be okay and give Zhang a few more charms, okay?"
Ghost Fire sighed helplessly, at this moment he really admired King Kong for his foresight. As soon as the car stopped, it rushed into the house. When he got out of the car by the ghost fire lock door, he was stopped by these neighbors who lived next door to the murder scene. These people all decided that he was a Taoist priest with high mana. I can't listen to any explanation. This really annoyed him.
Just when the ghost fire was in distress, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black off-road vehicle in the distance approaching this way. His eyes rolled and he immediately pointed to the car with a happy face and said, "Look." That's the car. There was a man and a woman in the car, both of whom were very powerful celestial masters. I'm just running errands for them, and if I want a charm, I have to go with them. ”
The residents didn't believe the Ghost Fire, but the black SUV quickly stopped nearby. Through the front windshield, you can clearly see that there is a man and a woman sitting in the seats in front of you. I don't know who took the lead first, so before the door could be opened, several residents swarmed up and surrounded the off-road vehicle with a hula, and the ghost fire secretly wiped a handful of sweat, and then quickly wiped the oil on the soles of his feet and disappeared at the door.
Sitting in the car, Variety and Shui Rou looked at each other. From a long distance, they saw more than a dozen people arguing around the ghost fire. Later, Onihuo seemed to be happy to point to their car and say something. After that, the people swarmed around the car without waiting for it to stop.
As soon as Shui Rou opened the car door, she was immediately surrounded by several people, talking nonsense. Shui Rou was also stunned when she heard it, and after listening to it for a long time, she didn't hear what they were talking about, she only knew that she seemed to want something.
The hundred changes next to him were a little worse, and he was directly pulled open by this group of people, but fortunately, these people asked him. didn't pull him out of the car too much, but blocked the car door to prevent him from getting out of the car, shouting in confusion: "Heavenly Master, give Zhang Fu ......"
"Heavenly Master, my little ghost...... Phew. Good luck. Our children don't dare to sleep at night. Please, do me a favor......"
"Celestial Master ......"
Bai Yan and Shui Rou didn't know what was going on, they looked at the water around these people in a daze, and when they understood that these people were the heavenly masters who regarded the three of them as exorcists, they also couldn't cry or laugh when they came to keep them safe.
Bai Yan shouted loudly: "I am not a heavenly master, we are police ......"
But the ever-changing voice was immediately overshadowed by this group of people: "Oh, Heavenly Master, don't lie to us anymore. The Celestial Master in front of us has already sued us, you are a very powerful Celestial Master......"
"Heavenly Master, ......"
"Celestial Master ......"
Baiyan yelled and had a headache, and it turned out to be a ghost fire for a long time, no wonder he was "looking back" at them before entering the house just now. And it's still so weird to laugh.
When Bai Yan and Shui Rou were powerless to be entangled by this group of people, Chu Yuan opened the car door without saying a word, got out of the car, and walked straight towards the house. An aunt who was squeezed outside saw the opportunity quickly, and when she saw Chu Yuan coming out, she hurriedly shouted: "There is still a heavenly master here!" As she spoke, she quickly reached out and grabbed Chu Yuan's sleeve to prevent him from escaping. But before the aunt could open her mouth to ask for a talisman, Chu Yuan just turned his head and looked at her with a pair of indifferent eyes. When she met Chu Yuan's eyes, the whole person was stunned for a moment, and then slowly let go of her hand and let Chu Yuan leave.
I saw Chu Yuan walking towards the house. A middle-aged woman next to her tugged at her aunt and blamed, "Why did you let him go?"
"His eyes are ......" the aunt said with a confused look, "his eyes ......"
The middle-aged woman said angrily: "What's wrong with the nomadic god's eyes? Could it be that he is blind?"
The aunt shook her head and said, "I don't know." But his eyes ...... It was as if when I looked at me, I suddenly felt like it was getting cold. ”
"Oops!" the middle-aged woman clapped her big palms and exclaimed, "That must be a master, I heard people say that when those real masters are staring at you." It's going to make you feel scared. What's that called...... It seems to be the momentum of a superior person. ”
"Oops. The aunt also stomped her feet and shouted regretfully: "Why am I so confused and let go of such a master." ”
"It's okay, there's two more people here. They're all in the same group, and they're certainly not going to be far behind. Besides, he must have come out of the house when he enters the house, so we'll wait here. ”
He nodded to his mother. On the other hand, he joined the team of entanglement and water softness.
The policeman standing guard not far away just stood and watched, not knowing for what reason. No one came up to stop them. Perhaps their job is to prevent unrelated people from entering the site, and ignore the rest. Or maybe they don't want to provoke these residents, but the people who live in the village are different from the people in the city, and if they offend someone in the city, at most their relatives and friends come to seek revenge. But if you offend someone in the village, it's likely that the whole village will start and the whole village will chase you. It may also be a symbol of unity, after all, in the city. Many people don't even know the names of their neighbors who have lived with each other for many years, and they haven't even greeted each other for so many years, so how can anyone help you. No wonder some old people often say. Today's high-rise buildings not only separate the distance between people, but also separate people's hearts.
Here, Bai Chang and Shui Rou were trapped inside by the crowd and couldn't get out, and when someone passed by occasionally, they saw such a large number of people huddled together, so they came over curiously to take a look. When I learned that it was two Taoist priests with high mana. Immediately ran back and called his family and neighbors to come over to ask for the charm, but the crowd became more and more crowded.
This can't be blamed for their selfishness, human nature is inherently selfish. It's like a little kid. You give him a loaf of bread. He'll be happy to take it. But you turn around and tell him again. When he gives you a little bread. He's definitely not going to do it. It can be seen from this. Man, from birth, comes into this world with selfishness.
There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom, which is that it is none of your business. Hang high. Things didn't happen to them, and people kept a wait-and-see attitude. It seems that when someone robs someone on the road, how many people are really desperate and brave to do what is right? But if they are robbed. It must be that you don't even want to die. Just like these residents, if this matter was born in another town, I believe that none of them would be so enthusiastic to entangle the two of them. But now it threatens their lives, and the appearance of the dragon soul is like a lifesaver. Who would want to let go lightly?
"Stop!" Bai Chang encountered the same troubles as the ghost fire, how to explain that these people just didn't listen, and they had already decided that they were Taoist priests with high mana. Everybody was annoyed and shouted, "Do you really want to exorcise ghosts?"
The residents said, "It's not an exorcism, no, it's an exorcism...... Alas, Master, we just want to keep our family safe......"
"yes. These unjust ghosts are also quite pitiful, they can't be reincarnated after so many years. But they are pitiful. You can't get old and hurt people, you say yes. ”
……
Bai Yan sighed and said, "Okay, I'll teach you a way, but because of the rules of the master, don't talk nonsense about the method I taught you." ”
The residents immediately nodded in unison and said, "Master, don't worry, our mouth is very strict." ”
"Master, I swear by God. If I dare to talk nonsense about the methods taught by the master, I will ......."
"Master ......"
"Alright. All right. Bai Chang pressed his hands and whispered: "Actually, the method is very simple, that is, you put a brazier at the door before you go to bed at night." Put as much charcoal in it as possible, and it's best to keep the fire burning until dawn. ”
The residents chattered, "Master." This brazier is no problem. But it is impossible to keep the fire burning until dawn if people are not watching. ”
"Yes, Master. Why don't you reveal a little bit more? Sue us. How do you make the fire burn until dawn......"
Bai Yan raised his hands and said: "Everyone knows that our Dragon Kingdom has 'stepped on the red' since ancient times. and the 'cross brazier' rule. But do you know what the real meaning of these stepping on the red and crossing the brazier is?"
The residents looked at each other and said, "Isn't it to drive away the fog?"
Bai Chang shook his head and smiled: "It's not that simple." These include many aspects of the doctrine, such as the five elements of yin and yang, heaven and earth, I will not say much about these, just talk about the easiest for everyone to understand. Actually...... Uh......" Bai Yan scratched his cheeks, thought for a while and continued: "Actually, fire, in the five elements, belongs to the position of Zhengyang. Yin and yang are born and restrained each other, there must be yin and yang, and there must be yin and yang...... And then, you know, yang, right? Why don't ghosts dare to come out in the daytime? Just because there is a sun, they are yin in the positive yin position, and the sun is in the positive yang position, and naturally they don't dare to come out and do bad things and harm people. Belch...... What's more, that stepping on the red and crossing the brazier is actually attacking the yin with yang and blocking the yin qi on the body. You get the idea? So, it's the same thing. Put a brazier at the door, as long as the fire is not extinguished at night, naturally nothing dares to come in. Ah, that's it. ”
