There are ghosts in the palace of Guanglu Temple, which is naturally quite weird.

"How did Sister Hui discover Liancui's ghost?" Qin Xiao frowned and said, "Can that Guanglu Temple be seen?" ”

Qiu Niang said: "Her husband's name is Wei Bi, Guanglu Temple is in charge of sacrifices, court banquets, and the delicacies and wines used are the best in the world." Wei Bi is a good wine, and often goes out of Beijing to find fine wine. There are many wineries in the world, many little-known small wineries can produce good wine, Guanglu Temple knows the preferences of Wei Sicheng, so the errand of inspecting the world's winery should be the messenger of Guanglu Temple, but let Wei Si Cheng take care of this stall, so Wei Si Cheng has half a year in the field. ”

"Sister Qiu Niang, are you saying that when there is a ghost in the Sicheng Mansion, the Wei Sicheng is not in the Mansion?"

Qiu Niang nodded and said: "Sister Hui reprimanded Liancui, Liancui committed suicide by throwing herself into the well, and Wei Sicheng was still outside and didn't know about it." After this happened, Sister Hui was also worried that this matter would bring trouble to Wei Sicheng, so she appeased Liancui's family as soon as possible, gave a large sum of silver, and then buried Liancui. Half a month after Liancui was buried, it was raining one night, and Sister Hui woke up in the middle of the night and found ..... found a person standing outside the window, her hair was scattered, and the rain wet her hair, but the clothes were the clothes of Liancui before her death, standing by the window, staring at Sister Hui with a pair of eyes. It seemed that thinking of that terrifying scene, although it was in the blue sky and white day, Qiu Niangqiao's face also showed a look of horror.

"Sister Hui, see clearly, that's Liancui?" Qin Xiaoqi said: "Is it possible to see the wrong person?" ”

Qiu Niang said: "When Sister Hui talked to me, she was very sure that it was Liancui. Liancui is the girl in her house, and she has been in the house for several years, and she can see her every day, so it is impossible for Sister Hui to admit her mistake. Besides, Sister Hui lives in the East Courtyard, and when Wei Sicheng is not in the mansion, there is only one personal maid by her side, and it is impossible for other domestic servants to run to her courtyard in the middle of the night, let alone pretend to be a ghost outside her window. ”

"In other words, when Sister Hui saw the ghost, there was still a maid in her house?" Qin Xiao immediately asked, "Was that maid by your side at that time?" ”

"Yes, that maid's name is Hanxiang, she just turned sixteen years old this year, she is smart and clever, very well-behaved and obedient." Qiu Niang often came into contact with Sister Hui, and she was obviously very clear about the situation in the Sicheng Mansion: "At that time, Hanxiang was laying a bunk in the room, sleeping on the side and serving at any time. Sister Hui saw Liancui's ghost and immediately screamed, Hanxiang was awakened at that time, and hurriedly asked Sister Hui what happened, Sister Hui pointed to the ghost outside the window, and only said that Liancui was outside, but it was .....! Xiu's eyebrows furrowed, and he didn't say anything at once.

"But what?" Qin Xiao asked.

Qiu Niang smiled bitterly: "But Hanxiang looked out the window, but she didn't see anything, and Sister Hui clearly saw Hanxiang standing by the window, staring at her all the time. ”

Qin Xiao couldn't help but think of the picture at that time in his mind.

This restaurant is full of people, and it will be tomorrow and daylight, but thinking of that strange situation, even Qin Xiao also felt very infiltrated, touched his nose and asked: "You mean, Liancui's ghost is standing outside the window, and Sister Hui can see it clearly, but the personal maid Hanxiang doesn't see anything?" ”

Qiu Niang said: "When the incident happened, it was like this. This is not only Sister Hui told me personally, but also called Hanxiang and said to me, Hanxiang

I was sure that she really didn't see anything that night, the window was empty, and Liancui's soul didn't exist at all. ”

Qin Xiao sighed: "It seems that Sister Hui has never been able to let go of Liancui in her heart, and she feels that Liancui's suicide by throwing herself into the well is completely caused by her, she feels guilty and in a trance, so she thinks that Liancui's ghost has appeared." ”

"At first, Sister Hui thought the same way." Qiu Niang sighed: "After seeing Liancui for the first time on that rainy night, it was fine for more than ten days, but on another rainy night, Sister Hui fell asleep in the middle of the night, and heard the sound of water droplets behind the screen, she felt strange, so she woke up Hanxiang and asked her to see what was going on. ”

Qin Xiao knew that strange things would become more and more weird, and Qiu Niang and Sister Hui were like sisters, so they must be very concerned about this matter, so they didn't interrupt and listened carefully.

Sister Hui felt strange, so she got up and went behind the screen, and then ...... Then I saw Liancui, who was drenched in water, standing behind the screen. Qiu Niang's face was slightly pale, and her hands were clenched: "Liancui is still wearing a cloak, her eyes are looking at Sister Hui, her body is full of rain, it seems that she has just come in from the outside, and the rain on her body falls on the ground, so Sister Hui heard the sound of dripping." At that time, the doors and windows were closed, except for ghosts, no one could enter the room, Sister Hui was so frightened that she fainted, and when she woke up, she was already lying on the bed, and a doctor gave her a doctor. ”

Qin Xiao also felt very weird, thinking that it was possible that the ghost of Liancui was really ghostly.

"After the doctor saw it, he said that Sister Hui was frightened and only needed to recuperate for a while." Qiu Niang said: "It just happened that she was cultivating for a few days, so I went to see her, and then I knew about the strange things that happened in the temple mansion." I also asked Hanxiang alone, and Hanxiang said that she didn't see anything, and I don't know why Sister Hui could see the ghost alone. ”

"Sister Qiu Niang, when Liancui appeared, it was a rainy night." Qin Xiao said softly: "You don't usually show up? ”

Qiu Niang shook her head and said, "No, every time it appears, it's raining." Sister Hui said that Liancui threw herself into the well and died in the water and became a water ghost, so as long as it rained, she would borrow water to manifest. The third time it appeared, it was still on a rainy night, and each time it became more and more ferocious. The first time was outside the window, the second time was behind the screen, and the third time was directly standing next to Sister Hui's bed. Sister Hui is so reluctant to give up day and night, even if she changes rooms, it is useless. She didn't eat tea and dinner, she was getting thinner and thinner, and she was suspicious all day long, and said that Liancui couldn't spare her. ”

Qin Xiao thought of something and asked, "Sister Qiu Niang, when I was at your house that day, you changed your clothes to see your friends, did you ..... Is it just to see Sister Hui? ”

"yes?" Qiu Niang nodded and said, "I'll go talk to Sister Hui and comfort her a few words, which can make her feel more relieved." ”

For some reason, Qin Xiao was in a good mood when he heard this.

That day, he saw Qiu Niang dressed up very delicately and went out, and thought that he was going to see a man, and he had never asked about it, but now he knew that Qiu Niang was just going to see Sister Hui, and he only felt that his heart was much looser.

But I can't say why I'm relieved for a while.

"Sister Hui is afraid that his brother will worry,

I didn't tell him about it, but everyone in his house knew about it, so it spread the word, and many people in Kyoto knew that the temple was haunted. Qiu Niang sighed: "But this kind of thing is just secretly discussed, after Wei Si Cheng came back, Sister Hui has lost more than ten pounds, her complexion is extremely poor, her body is weak, Wei Si Cheng invited a doctor, but the doctor can't cure Sister Hui's heart disease, so Wei Si Cheng thought of a way." ”

"Is it asking a Taoist priest to do it?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but say.

Qiu Niang immediately nodded and said: "You're right, Wei Sicheng is not sure if there are really ghosts in the house, but the best way to make Sister Hui feel at ease is to ask a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts in the house, so that Sister Hui can feel at ease." ”

"What did the Taoist priest do?"

Qiu Niang hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Just half a month ago, the Sicheng Mansion invited the Taoist priest to set up an altar to practice, everything was fine, but halfway through the ceremony, the Taoist priest suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and the people in the house were shocked when they saw this scene, and they all said that the resentful spirit of Liancui was too fierce to even the Taoist priest who practiced the law could not surrender." Originally, the Taoist priest of the Wei Temple asked the Taoist priest to do the Fa to make Sister Hui feel at ease, so that Sister Hui believed that Liancui's resentful spirit must be haunting in the house and could not afford to be sick. ”

"The day before yesterday was the eighth day of the third month, and the execution site was executed, and it also rained heavily." Qin Xiao said in a low voice: "I remember that there was still some light rain that night, could it be .....?" ”

"I know." Qiu Niang said: "The night before yesterday was a rainy night, I was worried that Sister Hui would see something unclean again, so I went to Sicheng Mansion early yesterday morning, and when I saw Sister Hui, Sister Hui couldn't get up from the bed, and the night before yesterday, Sister Hui really saw Liancui again, Liancui was still standing next to her bed, Sister Hui was so frightened that she fainted, and after waking up yesterday, her expression was sluggish, and she kept muttering that Liancui wanted her to pay for her life, and she couldn't live long." Speaking of this, her eyes were red, obviously very worried about Sister Hui.

Qin Xiao was silent for a long time before he said, "Where is Liancui buried?" ”

"It's less than a hundred miles south of the city." Qiu Niang said: "There is a village there, and Liancui's family lives there. Wei Si Cheng was transferred to Kyoto Guanglu Temple as an errand boy, Sister Hui went to Beijing together, and moved into the Temple Cheng Mansion two years later, and a few maids were added to the house, and someone introduced a few maids into the house, and Liancui was also among them. Liancui sold herself to the Wei family, so it stands to reason that Liancui has little contact with her family. However, after committing suicide by throwing herself into the well, Sister Hui gave his family a large sum of silver and funeral expenses, and his family also agreed to let Liancui be buried in her own cemetery. ”

Qin Xiao bowed slightly, thoughtful.

"Sister Hui's body is not as good as day by day, she doesn't eat, and she can't sleep at night." Tears appeared in the corners of Qiu Niang's eyes, and she said sadly: "If it continues like this, she will ..... She's really going to die. ”

Qin Xiao thought for a while, and finally said, "Sister Qiu Niang, when are you free in the past two days, take me to see Sister Hui, and I'll see if there is a way to help her." ”

"You?" Qiu Niang was stunned and wondered: "Are you going to see Sister Hui?" You..... How can you help her? ”

Qin Xiao smiled slightly and said, "If I tell you that I have learned the art of exorcism from people before, do you believe it or not?" ”
