Chapter 199: Midnight
Du Wenhao immediately sent a servant to Pu's house to invite Puling over.
At this moment, Wu Cong of the pharmacy ran in, glanced at Pan's judgment bureau, and said, "Sir, there is an old Taoist ...... at the door, saying that he wants to see you, sir." ”
At this time, the Pan Judgment Bureau heard that Du Wenhao had something to do, so he gave up his hand and left.
After sending away Pan's judgment, Wu Cong continued: "That old man is talking nonsense at the door, saying that our pharmacy has an evil spirit, and the house must be uneasy." Still have to see you. ”
Du Wenhao frowned and asked Wu Cong to invite the old man to the living room.
After a while, Lao Dao came with a whisk of dust, followed by Pang Yuqin and Xue Fei'er, and Yingzi at the door. It turned out that the three of them were in the lobby of the pharmacy before, and they all heard what the old Taoist said, and they were all nervous, so they followed to listen.
Du Wenhao saw this old Taoist white eyebrows and white beard, and the appearance of a fairy wind and bones, it seemed to be a bit of Taoism, but his body was a little fat, and when he came into the door, he didn't see courtesy, and he didn't look at Du Wenhao, he just looked around with his head up.
Du Wenhao didn't take the initiative to speak with his hands behind his back, and the old Taoist looked at it almost before he saluted: "Mr. Du, your house is very yin!" I'm afraid that something unclean will come in and haunt your family. Right? ”
"That's right. My sister went missing last night and hasn't been back. ”
Lao Dao swept the dust and said with a smile: "That's right, but if you meet me, don't worry, Lao Dao can do a magic thing for you, get rid of ghosts, and make your house safe!" ”
Du Wenhao said: "Can you do something to let my sister come back?" ”
Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and shook his head: "This ......, Lao Dao can only say that he will do his best." However, there are really ghosts in your mansion, and besides, you're already absorbing your yang energy, so you've been encountering something weird these days, right? ”
Xue Fei'er interjected: "Yes, there is a man who is nervous and comes to see a doctor, and he always says that he dreamed of a female ghost named Xian Xian, who was scratched by this female ghost. My brother checked that there was indeed an injury. Last night he came to say that the female ghost had moved to our house, yes! He said that it was an old Taoist who told him, wasn't it? ”
The old man nodded and said, "You're talking about Qiao Yusheng Qiao Gongzi, right?" ”
"Yes!"
"That's right, it was the poor road who pointed him out."
"We only learned today that this Qiao Gongzi has been dead for many years, what is going on? Can you talk to the dead? ”
"Will there be such a thing?" Lao Dao was very surprised, asked Qiao Yusheng about his height and appearance, shook his head and said, "It's not the same person!" ”
"That's not right, the place he said is the Qiao family's compound, we just came to the capital not long ago, I didn't know it was a ghost house. We went to Qiao's compound and there was no one to live in except for an old woman who was a janitor! ”
Lao Dao's white eyebrows trembled a few times, and he gasped: "Could it be that this demon has some adventures, and he can actually borrow a corpse to return his soul?" It's troublesome, the old way is very strange, why are there two ghosts in your house, but it turns out that the female ghost and the male ghost have come to you. ”
Du Wenhao smiled and said: "Dao Chief, there is a sentence that is a bit presumptuous, you don't even see that the male ghost is actually not a human but a ghost, what I want to know is, how can you make me believe that you have this Tao to exorcise ghosts?" ”
Lao Dao didn't expect Du Wenhao to catch his sore foot, he didn't prepare for a while, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "Lao Dao was just confused by his tricks for a while, if you really want to do it, of course Lao Dao has a way to recover them!" You can rest assured of this, in order to prove my spell, I can take you to the Qiao family's compound tonight, which is often haunted, and I will recover a ghost for you to see if I have real skills. I can tell you clearly, your sister was lost, and she was also confused by those two ghosts, and only by destroying those two ghosts can your sister come back! ”
When Pang Yuqin heard this, she gently tugged at Du Wenhao's sleeve: "Xianggong, let him try, maybe he can find it." Yingzi also looked at Du Wenhao expectantly.
Du Wenhao nodded and said, "Okay, how much do you want?" ”
"Two ghosts, catch one ghost for 50,000 taels of silver, and two ghosts for a total of 100,000 taels!"
Xue Fei'er glared at her apricot eyes: "Won't it?" 100,000 taels? You can buy several houses like ours! Just catch two ghosts? ”
Lao Dao sneered: "If you let these two ghosts toss around in your mansion, I'm afraid that your money will be earned and you won't be able to spend it!" ”
At this moment, Wu Cong led Pu Ling and hurriedly came in from outside. When Pu Ling saw the old Dao, he was very surprised: "Dao Chief, is it you?" ”
This old way is the one who gave Pu Ling to exorcise ghosts last time, saw Pu Ling smiled, nodded, and said to Du Wenhao: "If Mr. is too expensive and unwilling, the old way will not force it, but don't regret it in the future, just like this Pu Gongzi, who was reluctant to pay at the beginning, causing the child to be possessed by evil spirits, making people not ghosts and ghosts, now come to ask for the old way, the old way is gone, the old way will catch ghosts, but he has no ability to cure the disease." Hehe. ”
Du Wenhao thought for a while and said, "Dao Chief, can you let us discuss, after all, 100,000 taels of silver is not a small amount." ”
"Well, Lao Dao will come to listen to Mr. news before tonight, and exorcise the evil spirits, sooner rather than later, otherwise you will regret it again after a catastrophe, but it will be too late to regret it!" Dust off and walk away.
Du Wenhao took Pu Ling, as well as Pang Yuqin, Xue Fei'er, Yingzi, Wu Cong and Silly Fat, accompanied by a few bold people such as Kaifeng Yamen Dong Zhukuai, and came to the newly bought ghost house of Qiao's compound again.
By this time, it was already dark, and the people were not very afraid, carrying lanterns and torches.
According to his memory, Pu Ling quickly found the path he had come in last time and walked slowly inside until he reached the so-called pond where his wife vomited and the two saw ghosts. At that time, there was only one lantern in the dark, the field of vision was not wide, at this moment there were many lanterns and torches, and it was really visible, and sure enough, it was the bend of the lake, there was a small courtyard by the lake, and there was a locust tree behind the house. In the distance from this arrow is a small hill with a gazebo on it.
They searched here during the day, but found nothing out of the ordinary. At this moment, I heard that this is the place where I had seen ghosts in the first place, and everyone was very nervous, especially those few who were fast, looking around in horror with single knives and lanterns back to back.
Du Wenhao carefully observed the surrounding terrain and nodded slightly. Command to withdraw.
Back at the pharmacy, Du Wenhao had been sitting on a chair in the living room and pondering, not knowing what he was thinking. Pang Yuqin and the others didn't dare to disturb.
When it was almost time, Wu Cong came to tell him, saying that the old way before was here again, and if he asked to see it or not, Du Wenhao ordered him to wait. Then he called Dong Zhukuai and a few other catchers and muttered for a while. The catchers have been instructed by the official Pang Jinghui to obey Du Wenhao's command in everything. After several people discussed, Dong Zhukuai and the others left in a hurry. Then, Du Wenhao called Silly Fat again and muttered a few words to him and Wu Cong. The two nodded and left. Du Wenhao then ordered to call Lao Dao in.
After Lao Dao came in, he held the dust in his hand and saluted with one hand: "Sir, have you ever thought about it?" ”
Du Wenhao arched his hand and said, "Dao Chang really has a spell to recover ghosts?" ”
"Of course!" Lao Dao said proudly, "I said Poor Dao, if you don't believe it, Poor Dao can take Mr. and catch a ghost for Mr. to see." ”
"Well, this matter is very important, Du must be sure that the Taoist is good at catching ghosts, so there is Lao Daochang to show some stunts, let me be convinced."
A group of people followed the old road to the ghost house of the Qiao family.
At this moment, it was almost half of the night.
Lao Dao is very familiar with this ghost house, and seems to come often, holding the dust in his hand and boasting all the way about his past ghost catching examples, and came to the ghost house by the small lake under the locust tree.
Lao Dao looked at the sky, listened to the sound of beating in the distance, pinched his fingers and calculated, kept waving the dust in his hand, chanted words in his mouth, walked around Du Wenhao and them, and said: "Okay, I have recited the ghost avoidance spell, you are very safe here, the ghost can't get close and hurt you, I will go to the pavilion on the top of the hill over there to do the method, and the ghost will be caught for you to see." ”
Lao Dao said that he was about to leave, but he was grabbed by Du Wenhao and smiled: "You don't have to go to the hill, since the Taoist master has a strong spell, you can catch ghosts anywhere." That's it. We're all here to watch you catch ghosts, we're bolder, we're not afraid of ghosts. ”
Lao Dao's face changed slightly: "This can't work!" You can't catch ghosts here, you have to find them on the hill, you listen to me. ”
The old way was about to leave again, Du Wenhao made a look, grabbed him stupidly, and said sharply: "Be honest!" Stay here and don't move! Our young master has already bought this mansion, so you can do whatever you want! ”
Lao Dao shouted, "What do you mean by this? ”
Du Wenhao said coldly: "It's not interesting, there is something you may not know, I will also catch ghosts, it may be better than you catch it." I'm going to show my hand and learn from you today. Let me give you some pointers. ”
Immediately, he took out a few gas masks from the small bag he was carrying and distributed them for everyone to wear.
Lao Dao struggled desperately, but in front of the tall and stupid fat, he was like a child. opened his mouth to scream, but was choked by the stupid fat hand: "Shut up!" If you dare to scream, I'll break your neck!" ”
Lao Dao couldn't make a sound, and he couldn't break free, his eyes were full of horror.
Du Wenhao put on a gas mask, held a lantern and looked around, listening intently. Suddenly, he heard a slight gurgling sound on the surface of the lake, and he held the lantern and looked at it carefully for a while, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. At this time, the sound of bangzi came out in the distance, and it was already the middle of the night.
Du Wenhao motioned for Silly Fat to let go of the hand holding Lao Dao's neck, and said: "Dao Chief, it's already midnight, the ghost should come out immediately, if you are afraid, you can call it, it's okay, we won't laugh at you." ”
Lao Dao's face changed greatly, and he said urgently: "Quick! Let go of me and go to the hill immediately, the ghost will soon come out! Fast, slow will die! ”
