"It's out."

Everyone was overjoyed, patted the mud splashed on their bodies, and praised Song Changqing:

"The senior disciples of the Taoist are really brave, and the young people are very strong."

After this episode, everyone climbed back into the ox cart one after another, and Aunt Wu also climbed into the cart with difficulty.

Song Qingxiao stood behind her, her gaze falling on her shadow.

Under the sun, there was a trace of black qi hidden in her shadow, overlapping with Aunt Wu's shadow, which should be the reason why the ox cart had stumbled before, so that everyone could not push it out.

Why are you only looking for Aunt Wu?

Is it because she was once harmed by yin energy, so her yang energy was greatly reduced, and she was possessed by a ghost, so it was extremely easy to harm her?

Or is it because she was born in Shenzhuang, and this trace of yin qi attached to her shadow wants to borrow her body and 'return' to Shenzhuang?

The former is possible, and the latter Song Qingxiao still needs to be verified.

"Little junior sister, what are you in a daze, hurry up and get in the car, don't miss the hour."

Song Changqing noticed that everyone was in the car, and she was still standing in place without moving, so she couldn't help urging her.

Song Qing nodded, and without waiting for him to reach out to help him, he took a long step and easily stepped into the ox cart.

After seeing that she also got into the car, Song Changqing also got into the car.

Song Daochang came up last and sat at the door of the car in the posture of a gatekeeper.

He is old, and he has both cultivation and experience in exorcising evil spirits and suppressing demons.

Although he hadn't noticed the existence of Yin Qi before, since his instinct had already warned him, he naturally didn't dare to be careless anymore and personally scanned the surroundings, so as not to have Yin Spirits and evil spirits blocking the way halfway.

"Aunt Wu, what about after the reopening of Shen Zhuang?"

"Huh? Afterwards? ”

Aunt Wu's mind was still immersed in the strange scene of the old cow suddenly kneeling and crying before, Leng might as well listen to Song Qingxiao mention Shen Zhuang again, for some reason, she was a little resistant at this moment, instinctively closed her mouth, and was a little reluctant to continue:

"Why are you asking all this?"

"The more you know, the more you may be able to understand what happened in Shen Zhuang back then, and it will also help you find out the origin of the haunting."

Song Qingxiao's eyes were faint, and she looked at Aunt Wu.

The skin around her eyes was congested and swollen, and had turned blue-black.

It may have something to do with the trace of black qi hidden on her body at this time, her eyes are full of bloodshot at this moment, and she looks a little crazy.

But Song Qingxiao's eyes did not dodge, but after Aunt Wu looked at her for a long time, she took the lead in showing timidity, dodging and moving her gaze away, after a long while, she seemed to react to the meaning of Song Qingxiao's words, forced herself to calm down, and finally said:

"After removing those bones and reopening Shen Zhuang, there was no loss of money in it."

She wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth, her mind went blank, and she instantly seemed to lose consciousness, and then she couldn't make a sound.

Aunt Wu didn't notice that there was a black qi at her feet that was so thin that ordinary people couldn't see it with the naked eye that it was climbing up around her calves.

Under the black air, she opened her mouth and let out an unconscious 'ahh' sound, and the people around her didn't even seem to realize her gaffe at all.

Daoist Song stared cautiously outside, not noticing the strange scene in the carriage at all.

And his eldest apprentice seemed to have lost his mind, and the rest of the people in the entire carriage were also like the picture of being pressed the stop button.

Only Song Qingxiao, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, swept the black qi that bound Aunt Wu's calf with a warning look.

The arrogant black qi was warned by her divine sense, and she immediately sensed a strong deterrent force, and instinctively retracted back to Aunt Wu's heel.

As soon as it flinched, the magnetic field disappeared in an instant.

The people whose eyes were still empty before came back to their senses in an instant, and they didn't even notice the previous gaffe, and a few people were still enthusiastically discussing the scene of the old cow kneeling and crying before, as if they had completely forgotten what Aunt Wu was talking about before.

Aunt Wu's gaze refocused and met Song Qingxiao's gaze.

She always felt that something was wrong, Song Qingxiao's gaze made her a little frightened, but it was weird and made her feel at ease.

As if as long as she was around, nothing would happen.

Thinking of this, Aunt Wu hadn't figured out the origin of her thoughts, and her body had already consciously moved closer to Song Qingxiao's body.

"Where did you just go?"

As a 'victim', she even had a faint trace of her previous memory, remembering that she seemed to be discussing something with Song Qingxiao before she was in a trance.

After sitting closer to her at this time, it may be the reason for feeling uneasy, Aunt Wu thought about it a little and actually remembered:

"Oh, Shen Zhuang's wealth."

Without the interference of black gas, she quickly sorted out her thoughts:

"Before Xu Shouyi went crazy, he made people sweep away the gold, silver and copper coins in the entire Shen Zhuang, packed hundreds of boxes of money, placed them in a large family, and covered them with oilcloth, probably because he wanted to wait for the matter to pass, and then think of transporting it away."

It's a pity that they died in Shenzhuang, so the money naturally stayed there.

More than ten years later, the first batch of people who entered Shen Zhuang found these properties and were very surprised.

The coins of the late Jin period are no longer in circulation in the world today, but the yellow and white things can be spent at any time.

"So this batch of funds was protected by the people who originally entered Shenzhuang that year, and it was eventually used for the rebuilding of Shenzhuang, and at the same time, this batch of money was distributed to all the people who entered Shenzhuang first."

And this amount of money is also an important reason why the town that was slaughtered back then can be revitalized in just a few decades after the initial Shen Zhuang reopened.

It is precisely because of the existence of this money that Shen Zhuang can be rebuilt quickly in a short period of time.

Back then, those who entered Shenzhuang in desperation and received this batch of money and then settled down, or the orphans who escaped from Shenzhuang that year, all received a lot of property.

Everyone took this money as the foundation for making a fortune, because with this batch of money, everyone slowly bought a family business, and then relied on picking mulberry to raise silkworms and weave silk, and many people slowly developed.

The people who initially received the money have now become people with heads and faces in Shen Zhuang.

The ones who shared the most were even the mayor of Shenzhuang and a cadre of squires.

"Not to mention being able to rebuild a town that is comparable to a city, and to be able to feed and enrich so many people in a short period of time, this must be a lot of money."

Song Qingxiao was thoughtful and said softly.

"Isn't that?"

Aunt Wu responded with some pride: "Shenzhuang has been a famous and wealthy place since ancient times, and silkworm breeding is famous. ”

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Zhuang was famous all over the world for its wealth, it would not have attracted the greed of the rebels, and the dead would have been piled up as high as a mountain, but neither side would have given up.

It is because the amount of this sum of money is so large that even the court officials are extremely greedy.

Aunt Wu says:

"It is said that Xu Shouyi scavenged for silver back then, maybe he also wanted to support the army and stand on his own."

"If that's the case, why didn't the rebels take the money in the end?"

Everyone came for the money, and after the fight, Xu Shouyi was obviously crazy, self-destructing the foundation, the army of the imperial court was vulnerable, and victory was just around the corner, why didn't the rebels take this opportunity to take the money away?

At that time, Li Guochao wanted to revolt, and he raised a large number of rebel soldiers, and even occupied a city, which was just when he needed a lot of money to recruit troops and horses.

But when the fat was about to bite into his mouth, he suddenly gave up, which is not like what an uprising hero would do.

As for Aunt Wu's statement that the rebel army was frightened by the scene of hell on earth in the city, Song Qingxiao didn't believe it very much.

A man who dared to pin his head to his waist and set himself up as the emperor to fight against the imperial court, led the rebel army to fight several battles, and saw many dead people, it is impossible to be so cowardly.

What's more, at that time, the bones had already piled up, whether it was inside or outside the city, I am afraid that it was already a hell on earth, if I was afraid, I should have retreated a long time ago, and I should not have fled when victory was imminent.

"Then I don't know......"

Aunt Wu's statement was refuted by her one by one, and in the end, she had to touch her hair bun:

"Maybe Li Guochao is also crazy, and he doesn't want money when he sees it." Other than that, she couldn't think of any other reason.

Song Qingxiao didn't ask any more questions, and Aunt Wu also showed a little tiredness.

She has recently been possessed by a ghost, and her spirit has been greatly lost, and she is not young, so she is not as good as a young person in terms of physical strength and spirit.

Coupled with the previous memories, she was shocked and consumed a lot, and after talking so much at this time, once she quieted down, she felt a little sleepy.

"Ahh......h

"It's still early, if the journey is smooth, it should be evening when you arrive in Shenzhuang, you might as well squint your eyes and recuperate."

Her head poked out of the car, and the early morning sun shone on her head, reflecting her shadow on the ground.

A black gas in the shadow was like unsatisfactory hair, swaying slightly with the forward movement of the ox cart, but unfortunately no one except Song Qingxiao noticed it.

Even Aunt Wu herself didn't realize it, and after the probe glanced out, she retracted her head back into the car as if she felt a little sunburned, and the flying black shadow disappeared in an instant with her shrinking head.

"Are you all going to Shenzhuang?" Song Qingxiao quietly retracted his gaze and asked.

"yes."

A man behind Aunt Wu answered.

He was about fifty years old, and compared to Aunt Wu, who sat on his left front, he looked extremely thin.

"I'm visiting a relative......"

As he said this, he rubbed his hands, and his rough palms were mixed with countless cracks after drying and hard, like the bark of a tree that had been beaten by wind and rain, and there was a harsh sound between the palms rubbing.

Judging from the way he dressed, he was not in a good situation, and his clothes were patched a lot.

Shen Zhuang has already had an accident, and this is not a good time to visit relatives.

Facing the somewhat surprised gazes of Song Changqing and others, he smiled a little bitterly:

"My son is about to say goodbye, he is short of some money, and I want to see if my relatives have any work to do for me, and I can do it."

He was also calm, and as soon as his voice fell, he attracted sympathy or sighing voices from others.

Some other people also went to do business, went to visit friends, and one person turned out to be in Shenzhuang.

It's just that compared with Aunt Wu, this person is a little worse in terms of clothing.

Dressed in a gray and blue short coat, it has been washed white, and a sweat towel is wrapped around his waist.

With navy blue pants on the lower half and a pair of straw sandals under his feet, he sighed:

"I only moved into Shenzhuang a few years ago, my lady is good at embroidery, originally I heard that Shenzhuang silk is developed, and you can earn money everywhere before moving in with your family."

It's a pity that the family just settled down, and within two days of their birthday, something like this happened.

"Now my mother-in-law and children are in Shenzhuang, I just hope that the Bodhisattva will bless me and be fine......"

When he said this, he lowered his head in some pain, and put his ten fingers into his hair wrapped in a sweat towel, and said something in his mouth:

"Great mercy and compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva bless, Taishang Laojun ......"

When Song Changqing and Song Dao heard this, they glanced at each other and sighed silently.

At such a point, the bodhisattva may not be able to manifest the spirit, but can only seek more blessings for himself.

After Song Qingxiao heard everyone's words, he was thoughtful.

Although the people here are all people who want to go to Shenzhuang for various purposes, except for the man who said that he wants to go home at the end, everyone else is not a resident of Shenzhuang.

And the person who is going home is also a foreigner who moved into Shenzhuang a few years ago because he wanted to make money.

Among all the people, only Aunt Wu is said to have married outside, but in terms of its roots, she is a native of Shenzhuang.

In other words, the strange black qi that was attached to her, and the reason why she was chosen was most likely because of her identity.

After determining this, Song Qingxiao only needed to stare at this black qi and see what else it wanted to do.

The ox cart moved forward slowly, and for some reason, she faintly felt that the road back to Shenzhuang might not be peaceful.

After everyone said a few words, they all fell silent again.

Aunt Wu was extremely mentally exhausted, and after the sound of the wheels rolling, she only felt that her eyelids were extremely sour, and she fell asleep unconsciously.

After she fell asleep, her body leaned in the direction of Song Qingxiao.

But at the moment when she was about to touch Song Qingxiao's body, it seemed that a mysterious force pulled her body again, forcing her to sit up straight.

When she was pulled up, her body was stiff, and she looked like a walking corpse, but she didn't notice it.

Aunt Wu's snoring seemed to be extremely infectious, and everyone felt a little sleepy when they heard her rhythmic breathing, so they all leaned on the carriage and slept one by one.

Anyway, it was still early to arrive in Shenzhuang, and Song Qingxiao simply closed his eyes like everyone else and used his spiritual power to cultivate.

I don't know how long later, suddenly there was a loud 'clang', the ox cart bounced high, and the 'bang' fell to the ground, and this shock instantly woke up everyone who was asleep in the car.
