Hearing Chu Minghui's suggestion, Liu Fan suddenly came to his senses. He wanted to inquire carefully about some information about that master, but Chu Minghui also didn't know anything about it, he only knew that there was a peerless master living in Hanshan Temple, but he didn't know the information and origin of that master, and in desperation, Liu Fan had to go to Hanshan Temple in person.

Called Doctor Yang over, Liu Fan said that he needed to leave for a while, please take care of Chu Minghui, and after Doctor Yang nodded and agreed, Liu Fan set off and walked out of the city, because he had already recognized the road last night, so Liu Fan was no stranger to Hanshan Temple Hanshan Temple, and two hours later, he entered Hanshan Temple.

In Hanshan Temple, Liu Fan was in the majestic and simple temple hall, looking at the solemn Buddha statue sculpture, listening to the bursts of chanting in his ears, he slowly closed his eyes, and a trace of empty and clear spirit rose in his heart.

"Knock knock!"

Several bells rang slowly, waking Liu Fan up gently.

"Amitabha, Liu Gongzi is here, and the old man is far away."

A Buddha horn came to Liu Fan's ears, Liu Fan followed the sound and looked at it, only to see the host Qihong standing beside him with a light smile, followed by a young monk with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, seeing Liu Fan, Qihong presided over the loud laugh and said: "Liu Gongzi first came to our temple and heard the sound, which shows that Gongzi has a wisdom root, which is rare, it is really rare." ”

"The master smiled, where is there any wisdom root?" With a humble voice, Liu Fan went straight to the point and explained the intention: "The host abbot forgive me, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I heard that there is a peerless master living in your temple, and I want to ask the master to make it convenient and send that master to escort me back to Yangzhou, I don't know if the master can agree?" ”

"This ......"

After hearing this, the host of Qihong showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said to Liu Fan: "It's not a secret, the person Liu Gongzi said is indeed practicing in this temple, but this person has made a great vow before entering the temple, unless he is obsessed with demons, he will never leave the temple for life, so Lao Wei is not easy to make it difficult for others." ”

Speaking of this, the host of Qihong paused, thought for a moment, and then continued: "Lao Gong deeply admires Liu Gongzi's intelligence, if Liu Gongzi can use his intelligence to solve that person's demonic obsession, then Lao Ke can be a lobbyist and let that person go down the mountain to protect Liu Gongzi for a while, I wonder if Liu Gongzi is willing to give it a try?" ”

"I don't know the Dharma, and I don't know how to help people resolve their demonic obsessions." Liu Fan scratched his head and asked the host Qihong with an embarrassed face: "I don't know what that person's demonic obsession is?" Can you make a generation of masters willing to accompany the ancient Buddha? ”

"The so-called demons in the heart are demonic obstacles, and the so-called obsession is that you can't let go." said something that Liu Fan seemed to understand, Qihong put his hands together and said with a look of pity: "If Liu Gongzi wants to resolve the demonic obsession for that person, you can go to the Hongyun Inn in the suburbs to find out, solve the ghost bride's mystery case, and then solve the demonic obsession." ”

"The suburban Hongyun Inn? Ghost bride mystery? No, Master, can you make that clearer? I don't understand this at all. Liu Fan wanted more useful information, but after presiding over Qihong said this, he didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he confessed and led the entourage monk out of here.

"Alas...... These monks love to play dumb riddles. Seeing that the host of Qihong had left, Liu Fan pondered for a while, and then he turned around and walked towards the outside of the temple, and after inquiring about the direction on the way, he walked towards the suburbs by himself.

When Liu Fan's figure disappeared from the gate of Hanshan Temple, the host Qihong slowly came to the gate of the temple, under the shade of pines and cypresses, the host Qihong stood silent outside the door, at this time, the young monk who followed behind him slowly asked: "Host, do you say that this son can solve the mystery?" ”

After hearing the words, the host of Qihong showed a light smile on his face calmly, and sighed slightly, he seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was answering the monk's question: "Everything has cause and effect, everything has heaven's will, the Buddha said, you can't say it." After saying these clueless words, Qihong presided over and returned to Hanshan Temple.

……

Ten miles of alleys on the outskirts of Suzhou, although it is the edge of Suzhou Prefecture, but it is also prosperous, as far as the eye can see, the streets are full of endless traffic, the place is full of bustling pedestrians, both sides of the road are full of thriving shops, the prosperity of this place is no less than the downtown main street of the general prefecture and county.

Liu Fan walked around the street, and then stopped in front of a tea house, it was not yet lunch time, so Liu Fan came here to drink tea, ordered a plate of melons and fruits and a pot of tea, and after Xiao Er brought melons and fruits and tea, Liu Fan began to listen to the situation without a match: "Xiao Er, do you know about the ghost bride of the Hongyun Inn?" ”

"This guest officer, the Hongyun Inn is opposite the small shop, you look outside, the abandoned shop opposite is the old site of the Hongyun Inn, since that incident, the Hongyun Inn has been closed, this matter has been more than a year, how did you think of inquiring about this?" Xiao Er looked at Liu Fan with some suspicion.

Hearing Xiao Er's words, Liu Fan immediately knew that the other party must know the inside story, so he took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed the silver to Xiao Second, he said with a smile: "When I came here to play today, I overheard someone mention the ghost bride of Hongyun Inn, and I thought it was very interesting, so I inquired." ”

"I see." The shopkeeper looked at the silver handed over by Liu Fan, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and after he accepted the silver, he said to Liu Fan with a smile: "In fact, this matter was in an uproar back then, and everyone around him knew about it, so this is not a secret. ”

Liu Fan and the shopkeeper did not deliberately hide their voices, so the people around them heard the conversation between the two, and when they heard the words ghost bride, those guests who were using tea from the side suddenly came to their senses, and they were all ready to listen to the inside story at this time, although Liu Fan did not show a too concerned expression on the surface, he also quietly pricked up his ears.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the shopkeeper coughed angrily, he recalled a little, and then told the story about the ghost bride's soul, and with the shopkeeper's story, everyone gradually had a clear understanding of what happened in the inn.

Originally, the opposite inn is called Hongyun Inn, it is a three-storey inn, the first floor is the dining hall, the second and third floors are guest rooms, there are more than 30 rooms in total, and there are four chic elegant courtyards in the backyard, because the geographical location is superior, coupled with the beautiful environment, so the guests who come to stay in the tip are endless.

The four courtyards are four independent courtyards, each courtyard is four main houses and two partial rooms, in order to vassal elegance, the innkeeper specially invited a person to inscribe, respectively named four courtyards with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, on weekdays, Zhu Zishan and his family live in the courtyard, and the remaining three courtyards are operated externally.

The owner of the Hongyun Inn is surnamed Zhu, called Zhu Zishan, Zhu Zishan used to be a dart, and later saved some savings, bought an old house from the suburbs of Suzhou, carefully renovated most of the houses, and hired some guys, after getting it, he opened the inn from here, that is, the Hongyun Inn.

In the year of the accident, Zhu Zishan happened to be sixty years old, and he was able to run such an industry in Suzhou City, Zhu Zishan's assets were naturally a lot, and he began to think about // lewd // lust when he was full of warmth, so Zhu Zishan ignored the opposition of his wife and son, and accepted a concubine, and the other party was the Chunling girl of Baiyan Building.

As I said before, Zhu Zishan's family was very dissatisfied with his move to take Chunling as a concubine, so after the Chunling girl passed the door, Zhu Zishan's wife and his two sons took turns to make things difficult for the Chunling girl, and humiliated her all day long.

It is said that soon after the marriage, the Chunling girl became pregnant, and after hearing the news, Zhu Zishan's two sons were worried that someone would compete with them for the family property, so they took advantage of Zhu Zishan's time to go out to collect the accounts, and forcibly poured abortion pills on Chunling, and knocked out the child in Chunling's belly.

Miss Chunling could not bear this blow, and that night, she deliberately dressed up and dressed up very delicately, and then wore the red wedding dress she wore when she got married, wore red embroidered shoes on her feet, and wore a red hijab, and hanged herself from her room, until the next day when she was discovered by the subordinates.

There was a murder case, and suddenly alarmed the officials of the government, and all the arresters and servants in the yamen came to the scene, and it is said that when the people came to examine the autopsy, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, and they saw Chun Ling with a strange smile on her face, but her eyes were open, and she said that she was resentful and unwilling to die, so she died without blinking her eyes.

After the autopsy, the murder was ruled out, and Zhu Zishan's family was instructed to dispose of the body as soon as possible. Seeing that Chun Ling and the child in her womb were killed by her wife and son, although Zhu Zishan was angry and angry, he had no choice but to hire someone to help deal with Chun Ling's funeral.

Because there is a folk saying that the body of a person who died unexpectedly cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb, otherwise the feng shui on the ancestral tomb will be broken, so Zhu Zishan asked people to send Chunling's body to Yizhuang, intending to be cremated the next day.

However, no one expected that something strange happened, the next day, when Zhu Zishan and his son bought funeral supplies to cremate the body in Yizhuang, they found that Chunling's body was gone, and the coffin containing the body was still parked in Yizhuang, but the body inside disappeared inexplicably.

asked about the care of Yizhuang, and the other party was also startled, saying that he did not find anything abnormal at night, let alone heard any abnormal noise, just when everyone was wondering, suddenly, Zhu Zishan's eldest son found eight beautiful small characters written in blood from the top of the coffin: blood debt and blood payment, asking for life and seducing souls.
