Although there was a little conflict with Qingqing, at noon, the two reconciled as before.

Their meal was eaten at the Falling Moon Qintai.

It was still cooked by Steward Su, who had reached the age of the sixtieth year, and it was a family banquet, specially designed to entertain Shen Qiu and Qingqing who came back from Luoyang, and there was also someone to accompany them during the banquet.

made Shen Qiu miss it a lot.

"Little Four, now you're the big shopkeeper? It seems to be really out of the picture. ”

Outside the Luoyue Qin platform, Shen Qiu was standing next to his horse, and an acquaintance and friend behind him were sending him off with a smile on his face.

It's the fourth.

The guy at the Changshu firm, uh, is now a steward at the headquarters of the Falling Moon Merchant Square in Suzhou.

"Where do you dare to be called a big shopkeeper, Shen Daxia, don't make fun of me."

Xiao Si shirked it, but he was happy.

He said to Shen Qiu:

"It's just that the son of the steward Su took my father-in-law's shopkeeper, and he felt guilty, so he promoted me to the general number, and now I have to start from scratch.

If it weren't for Shen Daxia's support that day, how could my little four be today? ”

This little four is a kind person.

He bowed to Shen Qiu and said seriously:

"Now I have brought my mother to Suzhou, she is pregnant, and she will give birth to an heir in a few months, this beautiful thing, I couldn't think of it back then, this is all Shen Daxia's favor.

I have set up a longevity tablet at home, and my husband and wife pray for their benefactors every day, and hope that when my child is born, Shen Daxia can enjoy the light and gather at my house. ”

"Don't be so polite."

Shen Qiu waved his hand, and he said to Xiao Si:

"What you said is not right, although I also helped, but if you don't do anything good, Su Guan will not reuse you, I know very well what kind of person he is.

Now this status and status, eight points are all earned by your own efforts, we are all old friends, so don't be so outside.

You have a good life with your wife in Suzhou, and if you have time to give birth to your child, I will definitely come to congratulate you. ”

Hearing Shen Qiuying, Xiao Si was also happy.

In this life, it is really not easy to meet a nobleman.

Shen Qiu's bento is really Xiao Si's fate, and after meeting Shen Qiu, Xiao Si's life is almost a thousand degrees reversed.

really won to marry Bai Fumei, served as the big treasurer, and reached the peak of his life.

If it weren't for the fact that this era is not prosperous, I am afraid that the guys of all the businesses in Changshu City will worship Xiaosi as the "inspirational god" of the guys.

The two talked a few more words, and Shen Qiu took his leave.

He also wants to go to the city of Suzhou to visit the neighbors of Luoyue Street and a few old people in the city.

It's just that Shen Qiu had just ridden the horse, and Xiao Si suddenly remembered something, he took a few steps forward and said to Shen Qiu:

"Shen Daxia, isn't this going to Suzhou City?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

Shen Qiu saw that Xiao Si's face was different, so he asked.

Xiao Si hesitated for a moment and whispered:

"Then Shen Daxia must be careful, don't go to the Fang Market over there in the City God Temple, let alone spend the night there, these days, it's not very clean over there."

"Not very clean?"

Shen Qiu frowned, and he said:

"Haunted?"

"It's not."

Xiao Si pursed his lips and said with some fear:

"It's a mess, and it's not a family, many families have suffered, I don't know much about the specific situation, my wife is pregnant, I don't dare to provoke those things.

Although Shen Daxia is strong in martial arts, this evil thing is very strange, and everyone is so miraculous that it is better to avoid it. ”

Shen Qiu nodded, signaling that he understood.

But unfortunately, Xiao Si gave a reminder, but he didn't plan to bypass it, and he couldn't bypass it.

The City God Temple is a must-go.

The rudder of the Suzhou Beggar Gang is there, and the Song beggar is also there, which is the master's old friend, and he has a lot of assistance to Shen Qiu, so naturally he can't turn a blind eye.

After leaving the Qintai, Shen Qiu and Qingqing went to Sumeru Monastery and visited the Yuanfa monk who stayed in Suzhou to preach the scriptures.

The kind-looking old monk was the uncle of the mustard monk.

The mustard monk also asked Qingqing and brought him a few rubbing-printed scriptures, but when he asked, Shen Qiu was stunned to find that the monk Yuanfa also knew about the evil things in Suzhou.

"The beggar gang is in charge, and he also begged the old monk to come and beg me to do a requiem ritual for his market."

The Yuanfa monk smiled helplessly, and he pronounced the Buddha's name and said:

"But I've never done anything in the Nirvana Temple. The old monk had the heart to help, but he couldn't do anything. ”

"In the master's opinion, the evil one... Is it really something unclean? ”

Shen Qiu asked again.

Before in Suzhou, when Xiao Tie was restless, he asked the mustard monk for treatment, and the mustard monk said to him that there are indeed unclean things on the rivers and lakes.

But this era is already very, very rare.

"Old monk, I only practice Buddhism, not martial arts, so I can't see through such means."

The Yuanfa monk closed his eyes, turned the Buddha beads, and said to Shen Qiu:

"But the old monk lived a long time and saw more, this thing is not a natural disaster, it should be a man-made disaster. Shen Shizhu also came by coincidence, it is better to go to the City God Temple and make a mess to calm people's hearts.

It's just that the evil people didn't hurt anyone's lives, and the bad ones were all donors who didn't cultivate good results on weekdays. ”

The old monk chuckled and said:

"If Master Shen catches the person who pretends to be a ghost, don't hurt your life, judging from such means now, the person behind this is afraid that he also has a background.

Master Shen Shizhu is riddled with cause and effect, and his fate is already bumpy, so don't kill more, and show mercy to his subordinates in case of trouble, so as to avoid disasters and eliminate disasters. ”

Shen Qiu nodded.

Pharaoh Yuan is a real Buddhist family, he will naturally persuade people to be kind, Shen Qiu doesn't care, he has his own way, the road of life, he can't be persuaded.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many human tragedies.

He and Qingqing left the scriptures, then left the Monastery and went to Suzhou City in the afternoon.

On the way, he told Qingqing about this, the little junior sister was not afraid, but was full of interest, she and Shen Qiu stayed together for two years, and under the influence of Shen Qiu, she felt that there was no strange power in this world at all, demons and monsters.

I also heard the monk Yuanfa say that this was a man-made disaster rather than a natural disaster, so I was a little eager to try.

"Hehe, senior brother, I'll help you catch the thief."

Qingqing rode on a horse and said to Shen Qiu:

"I'm also very good at kung fu, and I can help too."

"Okay."

Shen Qiu did not refuse this time, but still advised:

"In case of trouble, take security first, don't be strong, I don't need to teach you any of these, the things I got from Ai Dacha, and the Tianji bracelet, do you have them?"

"Take it."

Qingqing raised her hand, the two heavenly bracelets on her wrists were like the decoration of her daughter's home, and there was a slender black wooden box around her waist, which was given by Ai Dacha in the land of Qilu.

This thing is incredible.

Once the trap is triggered, it is a small crossbow machine, which can only be held with one hand, but Ai Dacha's aggressive concept of trapping is undoubtedly displayed in this small crossbow machine.

This thing can shoot twelve times in a row, shooting black needles at a fast speed that is extremely difficult to defend against.

And its strength is so great that it can penetrate the wooden door within six zhang, it is completely an automatic pistol of this era, if it is paired with Ai Dacha on the life-chasing arrow, the kind of special fine needle that can break the true qi...

This thing can completely kill an unsuspecting master of the ground list.

After a short time, the two entered Suzhou City and went straight to the City God Temple, but when they got there, they found that a grand ceremony was being done there.

Song beggars didn't know where they had invited a few Taoist priests.

They wore bells and whistles, which seemed solemn, but in fact they were fancy, holding the dust, putting out a few incense cases covered with yellow cloth, setting up tablets, incense, suona instruments blowing and beating, and the momentum was lively.

But not many people were watching.

Even the passers-by who passed by the City God Temple around them sped up their pace, and several women also protected the children's eyes and prevented them from looking this way.

It's as if this City God Temple is really a ghost.

Shen Qiu rode on a horse, looked at the scene of the ceremony, his brows furrowed, he had been to the Jade Emperor Palace, he had seen the real Taoist masters, and before the Jade Palace sect Xiaobi began, there were also rituals to worship the heavens.

He and Xiao Tie also watched the ceremony as guests.

I have seen the real thing, and when facing the fake, I can naturally distinguish it at a glance, these Taoist priests seem to be solemn and decent, but even the Seven Star Yu steps are a mess, and the step gang can't be completed.

Putting up the dust is even more crooked, with bells and whistles.

This Uncle Song, could it be that he has lost his soul, he has also walked through the rivers and lakes, and he also has a hand in Suzhou City, why did he find these crooked melons and cracked dates to fill the scene?

Qingqing raised her head on the horse and watched the joy of the excitement.

Around the ritual, there were members of the Suzhou Beggar Gang standing, most of them with solemn faces, but a few of them looked frightened, as if they were really frightened.

Shen Qiu soon found the Song beggar.

He did not attend the "Dharma service" outside, but cultivated in the City God Temple.

It's just that he hasn't seen him for a few months, and this Song beggar is like he has aged several years out of thin air, his face is haggard, and his eyes have become a little cloudy.

He was lying on the bed in the room, his face was weak, and when he saw Shen Qiu and Qingqing walking in, he wanted to get up to greet him, but he was weak, and as soon as he got up, he fell on the bed.

"Uncle Song, are you sick?"

Shen Qiu hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Song Beggar and reached out on his wrist.

Although he is not a master of the apricot forest, he has also learned some things in his hometown, and now he is really warm and nourishing his body, so that his ears and eyes are smart and his five senses are keen.

At this touch, Shen Qiu's eyes narrowed.

The pulse is sometimes weak and sometimes strong, irregular, and the heartbeat is also disordered, no wonder Song beggar is so weak.

Although he is not good at martial arts, he is also a martial arts practitioner.

"It's not sick."

Song beggar leaned against the head of the bed and sighed, he smiled at Qingqing, who was worried, and said:

"It's an evil spirit."

Shen Qiu raised his head and asked with his eyes, and Song Beggar was a little embarrassed, and he said what happened.

"About three months ago, a tragic incident happened outside the city of Suzhou, and the lower nine streams who were driven out of the city gathered in the mountain temple under the cold mountain, and no one paid attention to them.

But one day, they were suddenly destroyed. ”

Song beggar took a sip of water and whispered:

"That guy doesn't do good things, it's a person who hates dogs, and if he dies, he dies, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but after a few days, there was something strange in the city.

Just two streets away from the City God's Temple, Jiang Yuanwai suddenly fell into evil.

It's normal to have a daytime every day, just like I always call Hanako. But at midnight, they will do strange things, like sleepwalking, and no one else will wake them up. ”

The beggar boss lamented, and said:

"Xiao Qiu'er, and Qingqing, you also know that my beggar gang has to deal with such things on weekdays, if that Jiang Yuanwai provokes some masters, I will come forward to say yes.

I thought it was just an occasional thing, so I sent someone to look at it, but I found no doubts.

But then, within a month, these evil things happened one after another, disturbing the whole of Suzhou, and I realized that things were a little out of control. ”

Song beggar took a breath and said:

"I personally went to ask those owners, and found that the evil ones were all some goods that don't do good things on weekdays, and most of them were rich households, so I followed the clues and found some bitter owners.

As a result, they told me that it was they who begged 'Aunt Phoenix', and it was the aunt who helped them punish the wicked.

He also said that my aunt and grandmother were born into the world as gods, and if there was a grievance, go to meet them and offer delicious food, and you could get revenge.

In the middle of March, there is a small temple on the side of Qingyifang, and the incense is very prosperous, and it is the mysterious 'aunt' that is worshipped inside. ”

"Uncle Song, I don't believe you don't know that this is a man-made disaster."

Shen Qiu listened to the sound of suona outside the window, and he said suspiciously:

"Didn't you ask anyone to check it out? Why do you want to set up this ritual and ask a few fake Taoist priests to blow and beat, what's the use of that? ”

"Naturally, please."

Song beggar coughed twice and said weakly:

"Yijia Dart Bureau, Jiaxing Taihe Gate, Wuxi Boxing Village, this sect near Suzhou has been invited, but it is useless, no matter how many you come, you went to the small temple of Qingyifang, and there is no news.

After a few days, they will either be stripped naked and hung on the street, or they will be struck by evil and will not be able to live in fear.

came and went, and no one dared to take care of it.

The old Hanako really couldn't look at it, so she came to the door and begged the aunt, since she didn't want to kill, then a little punishment would be enough, why did she torture those people for so long?

Although they did the wrong thing, they did not kill anyone.

In just the past two months, seven or eight large families have been separated and bankrupt, making my Suzhou beggar gang more prosperous. ”

The Song beggar sighed and said:

"The old beggar I can't do it, I didn't even see anyone, so I was sent out of the small temple, and when I came back, I was also evil. It's just that she showed mercy to my men.

He said that he was sympathetic to the elderly, but he did not let me suffer from the madness of that night. ”

"She?"

Shen Qiu asked:

"A girl?"

"Yes."

Song beggar looked at Qingqing and said:

"It's about the same size as Qingqing, and I only see a shadow.

As for the few fake Taoist priests outside the door, I am also helpless, this Dharma thing must be done, and we must calm people's hearts, otherwise it is ordinary people who will suffer.

However, when this matter spread, even the people who did the work couldn't be found, so they could only find a few city fox society rats to pretend to be, and they were all through the motions anyway. ”

Shen Qiu nodded.

He stretched out his hand, put it on Song Beggar's chest, and said:

"Uncle Song, bear with me."

After speaking, the cold air overflowed from the palm of his hand, and quickly penetrated into the meridians of Song beggar's body, wandering all over his body, making the old beggar sit cross-legged on the bed as if he was swinging.

In just a few moments, his body was covered with frost, the white cold air was flying, Song Beggar was so frozen that his lips were blue, after tossing like this for more than ten breaths, Song Beggar suddenly turned red, opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The blood was scooped up by Shen Qiu's hand in the air, and the cold qi was filled, turning it into a bead of blood, which was held in Shen Qiu's hand.

Shuo Xue's cold qi suddenly retracted, and then changed to warm Xue Ji True Qi, and walked around Song Begger's body a few times to help him dispel the cold, and Song Beggar still had frost on his face.

But the spirit recovered at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

He looked at Shen Qiu's palm in surprise, Qingqing also came over, and after just one glance, the girl screamed.

"Bugs!"

Shen Qiu put the blood bead in front of his eyes, and in the frozen blood bead, it was full of white worms, the size of millet grains, and after being frozen, it was no longer active.

"No, it's a Gu worm. That 'Phoenix Auntie', I'm afraid it's from Miao Jiang.

This thing, trouble. ”
