Chapter 167: Moving
Yang Mingde subconsciously got up, looked at the hazy room in horror, and didn't find anything unusual. At the moment, the moonlight outside is not very bright, but through the window lattice, you can basically take a rough picture of the situation in the house. I could only hear my wife's terrified voice shouting intermittently: "Spare your life, spare your life......!"
Yang Mingde was so frightened that he took out the kitchen knife in his arms, looked carefully, there was nothing unusual in the room, he quickly got out of bed, came to the end of the bed, and saw his wife Zhang who was curled up in the corner of the wall at the end of the bed, and quickly stepped forward to help her up, and said, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"
Zhang's eyes were so frightened that he just said in horror: "Spare your life, spare your life, spare your life......!"
Suddenly, Zhang's eyes widened, staring at Yang Mingde's back.
Although Yang Mingde couldn't see his wife's expression clearly because of the darkness in the room, from her tense body and stiff neck, he could feel that she saw something behind her in horror.
Immediately, the cold hair behind Yang Mingde stood up, and he subconsciously turned his head sharply, and saw that the hanged ghost was slowly descending from the air, floating a foot above the ground, floating in the air, staring at him with a long tongue and eyes like copper bells.
Yang Mingde screamed in fright, shook the kitchen knife in his hand and flew over. Listening to Ah A's short scream, the white shadow floating in the air quickly floated towards the beams of the house and disappeared into the dark roof.
Yang Mingde hurriedly pulled up his wife, rushed to the back window, untied the window, opened the window, turned around and hugged his wife, threw it directly out of the window, and fell heavily on the ground in the back alley, and then climbed out of the window with his own rolling, and also planted his head on the ground, his head hit the mud in the back window, and it hurt so much that he couldn't care about rubbing, got up, supported his wife, and staggered towards the back door of the jewelry store while screaming for help.
When he arrived at the back door, Yang Mingde was terrified, and while looking back to see if there were any ghosts chasing out of the alley, he slapped the door with his hand.
After a while, the door creaked open, and two men stood in the doorway in horror, one with a lantern in his hand and the other with an iron rod, and when he saw that it was them, he quickly let them in.
Zhang kept screaming for mercy, and Yang Mingde was already so frightened that he was trembling. Shopkeeper Zhu and his wife, Mrs. Zhu, had already gotten up, and they came out in a panic to ask what was going on? After hearing Yang Mingde tell what had happened in a terrified manner, the corners of the couple's mouths showed a smug smile again, but this smile flashed and no one could notice it.
Of course, the Zhu couple was kind enough to be relieved, and then called all the guys in the store, seven or eight people with knives and sticks of various colors in their hands, and several lanterns, and then entered the Rejuvenation Hall and came to the bedroom to check.
The two more daring men who walked to the front, after entering the house, held the lantern and looked at it, but found nothing, so they asked a few of them to follow in.
After coming in, because the room was full of people, Yang Mingde was more bold and pointed at the situation just now. Suddenly, he was surprised to find that the kitchen knife that he threw directly at the hanged ghost in horror fell into the corner of the house, and hurriedly went over to pick up the kitchen knife and said, "Look, my kitchen knife is still here, hey, what is this?"
Yang Mingde was surprised to find that there was actually a trace of blood on the kitchen knife. He remembered that there was no blood on it. This is a knife for cooking, and his wife and maid Hongsheng'er are very clean, how can they let the knife have blood stains on them without wiping them off.
Shopkeeper Zhu and the others also came over to take a look, looking at each other in surprise, not knowing what was going on.
Zhang has been holding her husband's arm tightly and refusing to let go. She was so frightened that she couldn't figure it out. The shopkeeper and his wife said: "Why don't you sleep in our house tonight, we have a guest room in our house, and I will ask the maid to accompany you." ”
This time, Yang Mingde will never be polite again, nodding busily and expressing his gratitude repeatedly.
Shopkeeper Zhu didn't find a reason to regret it this time, because he found that Yang Mingde and his wife were scared enough, and they should be able to persuade them to move out logically. At this time, it is the time to express that he is a good person, so he leaves them to live in his own home.
When he locked the door and returned to the jewelry store, the shopkeeper Zhu asked the maid to warm up the tea and bring it to Yang Xianmao and the two to drink. Shopkeeper Zhu sighed and said, "Last night I thought it was a ghost passing by, or maybe you two were dazzled, but today there are ghosts again, this is indeed not to be ignored." Ghosts must be wronged, and I don't know why they have been pestering you in the Rejuvenation Hall. ”
Zhang drank hot tea, accompanied by a large number of people, and gradually regained some consciousness, hearing this, he said to Yang Mingde: "Official, let's go and ask a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts tomorrow!"
Shopkeeper Zhu hurriedly interjected: "This is a good idea! I know a Heavenly Master who is very good at catching ghosts, otherwise, I will immediately send someone to ask him to catch ghosts, while the ghosts have not left, it is now dark, and others do not know, it will not affect the reputation of your pharmacy." What do you think?"
Yang Mingde hurriedly nodded and said, "Oh, that's great, Shopkeeper Zhu, thank you so much, I don't know what to say." ”
According to Sun Dalang's explanation, the shopkeeper Zhu patted him on the shoulder and said: "You also coincided, my friend traveled here a few days ago, and we were still eating and drinking together, saying that he caught ghosts, this person is really powerful, he lives in an inn not far away, I will immediately call someone to invite him, he must have a way to catch your track." ”
Yang Mingde was another thank-you, and the shopkeeper Zhu hurriedly asked the guy to invite the Taoist chief.
Soon, the carriage of the jewelry store invited the Taoist of the fairy wind bone in the middle of the night.
The Taoist chief carried a peachwood sword on his back, his eyes were bright, and after coming in, after listening to a brief experience, he didn't say much, holding a peachwood sword, shaking a bell, and in front of everyone's eyes, he went straight to the lobby of the Rejuvenation Hall.
Yang Mingde and Shopkeeper Zhu followed in with a few bold male servants with lanterns, standing by the door and watching him do things in the lobby. Zhang and Mrs. Zhu stayed in the jewelry store to wait for news. A group of maids and mothers-in-law accompanied.
Suddenly, there was a sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling in the dark night in the lobby, which frightened everyone's faces to change color. The man had a gloomy face, and the peachwood sword in his hand kept slashing into the air, crackling and making a crisp sound, and then the peachwood sword clicked and broke into two. The Taoist Tengteng took a few steps back and sat on the ground, blood pouring from the corners of his mouth.
He said in a deep voice: "Hurry up, get out of here quickly, and your life will be at night!"
Shopkeeper Zhu was so frightened that he pulled Yang Mingde and ran out, and everyone followed behind and rushed out of the Rejuvenation Hall, came outside, and ran into the brightly lit jewelry store.
Immediately afterwards, the long man staggered in, with bloodshot on the corners of his mouth, and after entering the door, he slammed the door shut, leaned his back against the door, panting heavily, staring at Yang Mingde in horror, and said in a deep voice for a while: "You, where did you provoke such a fierce demon? My hundred-year-old Taoism was almost ruined by him! Hey, fortunately I ran fast, otherwise, my life would not be guaranteed." ”
As soon as they heard this, Yang Mingde and the others turned pale as earth, and there was nothing they could do with this ghost, so how could it be good.
Shopkeeper Zhu was very enthusiastic and asked, "What, what should I do?"
The Taoist chief took a few breaths and said, "There are several evil ghosts in this house, hanged ghosts, drowning ghosts, starving ghosts, and all fierce ghosts, gathered in this house. I began to talk to them with good words, but they said that this place was their territory, and they had been looking for a long time to find it, and they would live here for a long time in the future. Poor Dao had no choice but to forcibly expel them, but these ghosts were really violent, and the poor Dao Dao method was not enough, so he was very ashamed. - You must not go in after dark, it doesn't matter if you go in during the day, the ghost will not come out, but I am afraid that at night, I will not be able to help him......"
Shopkeeper Zhu glanced at Yang Mingde, and said to the Dao Chief: "Is there any other Daoist friend with a higher Dao method who will catch ghosts together?"
The Dao Chang sneered and said: "The Dao of the Poor Dao is quite profound, I haven't seen anyone stronger than me at present, even I can't help them, who can be stronger than me?" - I advise you not to provoke this ghost again, if you don't provoke him, he won't come to offend you." If you provoke him again and again, and he pesters you, you will be seriously ill at the slightest time, and your life will be difficult to protect at worst, remember. Poor Dao took his leave. ”
With that, the chief sighed a few more times, turned around and opened the door and went out.
A room full of people was stunned, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
After a while, Shopkeeper Zhu said to Yang Mingde: "Yang Langzhong, since the Taoist chief said so, I'm afraid this haunted house is unlivable." Why don't you find another place to open a medical center? ”
Yang Mingde nodded frequently, and Zhang's face was also pale and said: "Yes, yes, let's find a place to move quickly at dawn, otherwise, it doesn't matter if we two people are half-buried in the loess, it's just that if the child Xianmao comes back and is ghosted, then our Yang family will be doomed." ”
Yang Mingde hurriedly nodded and said, "Move! You must move! But where can you find a suitable house! We have been open here for more than ten years, and if we move the place, I am afraid that most of this popularity will be lost." ”
Zhu said on the side: "If you don't move away, you're still going to fight with the ghosts?"
Yang Mingde and his wife shuddered and shook their heads together. Yang Mingde sighed and said, "I just don't know where to find a house." ”
Shopkeeper Zhu immediately followed the plan that Sun Dalang had told him before, and said: "I heard that on the street in front of the Yamen of the Xicheng Prefect, there is a merchant renting it, and the size of the store is suitable for yours, but I don't know how much the price is?"
Yang Mingde was surprised and delighted, but that street can be regarded as the most prosperous street in the entire Quanzhou City, because it is close to the prefect's yamen, and there are many rich people living in that area, so Yang Mingde said: "I'm afraid that the rent is very expensive, right?"
Zhu said on the side: "I've heard people say that it's not expensive, or you should go and see it." If it's really ridiculously expensive, find another place!"
Mr. and Mrs. Yang Mingde nodded gratefully, and discussed what to do tonight?
