Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Devil Asks for His Life
Liu Yue didn't elaborate, but first took Wu Wei to the Heavenly Master's room, and he said to Wu Wei that after meeting the Heavenly Master, the Heavenly Master would tell him the specific things.
Coming to the door of the Heavenly Master's room, Liu Yue knocked on the door and greeted the door: "Senior brother, Wu Wei is here." ”
A deep voice inside the door responded, "Come in!" ”
After obtaining the consent of the Heavenly Master, Liu Yue pushed open the door and walked into the Heavenly Master's room with Wu Wei. After entering the room, Wu Wei saw an old man with crane hair and a childish face in the room waiting for them on the Taishi chair.
Wu Wei knew that this old man was Heavenly Master Zhang Yuanqing, so he hurriedly walked up to Heavenly Master and knelt on his knees and kowtowed, and then shouted: "Master, I am Wu Wu!" ”
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Wu You, a kind smile appeared on his face, he stretched out his hand and said to Wu Wei: "Get up, I finally see the grandson of the fourth junior brother, come over a little more, let me take a good look at you!" ”
After Wu Wei saw Zhang Yuanqing, he inexplicably felt a sense of intimacy, and couldn't help but think of his grandfather, and his eyes were a little moist.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Wu Wei carefully for a while, and then said: "What a handsome young man, exactly the same as when the fourth junior brother was young!" I don't believe you if you're not his own grandson, haha, isn't it the cause and effect that the fourth child left behind us when he was young? ”
Zhang Yuanqing's few jokes brought Wu Wei closer to him. Seeing that the Heavenly Master praised himself, Wu Wei showed a shy smile.
After laughing, Wu Wei looked at Zhang Yuanqing and Liu Yue, and couldn't help but think of his grandfather Wu Mian. Until now, I have not found my grandfather's whereabouts, and I don't know what kind of danger he experienced alone.
Wu Wei's tears finally couldn't help flowing, he knelt on the ground again, and said to Zhang Yuanqing: "Master Heaven, please help me find my grandfather!" He's so old, and now he has to face those dangers alone, and he doesn't even know if he's alive or dead? I'm really scared that if something happens to him, I might not even see him for the last time! ”
After Wu Wei said these words, he couldn't control his sobs. Zhang Yuanqing and Liu Yue were also very unbearable when they saw him like this.
Zhang Yuanqing sighed and said to Wu Wei: "I know you are worried about your grandfather, why don't we worry about him?" Since he said goodbye fifty years ago, we have been worried for fifty years. We all want to find him, he is deliberately avoiding us! The fourth guy has been this weird temper since he was young, no matter how big the matter is, he hides it in his heart, and always wants to solve it himself. I know that sometimes he doesn't say that he doesn't want to cause trouble to others, but he never thinks that it is because of his appearance that we who care about him bring the most trouble! ”
Liu Yue also walked up to Wu Wu, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Get up Wu Wu, your Heavenly Master and I care no less about your grandfather than you, and we have never stopped looking for his whereabouts." He disappeared because of the seal of the official seal mountain, and he will definitely not leave this range. Now we haven't found him, he must be trying to hide from us and don't want to be found! This also shows that he has not encountered an accident, don't worry, I promise you that the Heavenly Master will definitely let you see him! ”
After listening to the words of the two masters, Wu Wei stood up from the ground, he wiped his tears and said, "I'm sorry for the two masters, I was too excited just now. ”
Liu Yue said to him very understandingly: "It's okay, you can care so much about your grandfather, which means that the fourth senior brother didn't hurt you in vain, and we are also very pleased." ”
Zhang Yuanqing also said: "The fourth junior brother is looking for a way to repair the seal, so he didn't say goodbye, and if we want to help him, we have to grasp more clues as soon as possible!" Now we have also found some things about the seal of the official seal mountain, and I came to you today to tell you everything we know. These things not only involve the seal of the official seal mountain, but also have a close relationship with yourself! ”
Wu Wei knew that the thing related to him should be the woman in red, and he has now become a human man, and if you want to remove the curse of the human man, you must first understand the origin of the woman in red.
Zhang Yuanqing took out a yellowed and old county chronicle and handed it to Wu Wei, he said: "Wangxiang County is the predecessor of today's Lucheng, and later the ancestor Lu came here to integrate the surrounding small towns and Wangxiang City to establish the current Lucheng. This is the county chronicle of Wangxiang County, and there is a person named Qin Xiaozhong among the historical celebrities recorded in the county, who was born in Shangxian Village 221 years ago. When he was more than ten years old, Qin Xiaozhong moved out of the village with his father and came to Wangxiang County, and later became a very successful businessman after hard work, and also founded the Qin family silver number. ”
After listening to Zhang Yuanqing's narration, Wu Wei realized that the Wangxiang City he dreamed of was actually the predecessor of Lucheng, and this Qin Xiaozhong should be Qing Shao's father.
Sure enough, Zhang Yuanqing paused and continued: "The Qin family has become one of the most famous families in Wangxiang City with Qin Xiaozhong's efforts, but when Qin Xiaozhong was fifty-three years old, something big happened to the Qin family, and it was precisely because of this incident that the Qin family began to decline. Qin Xiaozhong was busy with his career when he was young, and he did not marry a wife and have children until he was thirty years old, and when he was thirty-four years old, Qin Xiaozhong's wife gave birth to Qin Shaoqing, the eldest son of the Qin family. Because in that era, the thirty-four-year-old could be regarded as a middle-aged child, so the Qin family was very fond of this Qin Shaoqing. ”
Wu Wei listened very carefully to Zhang Yuanqing's eloquent words, he didn't know these things about the Qin family before. However, Zhang Yuanqing later told the story of Qin Shaoqing's encounter with a woman in the Qinglou Dream, which was almost indifferent from what Wu Wei saw in the dream.
It wasn't until Zhang Yuanqing talked about the elopement of Qin Shaoqing and Yuanmeng recorded in the county annals, and what happened after Qin Xiaozhong found the two people who were worshipping in Shangxian Village, that there was a big discrepancy with what Wu Wei saw in the dream.
In the records of the county annals, Qin Xiaozhong is described as a righteous image who maintains the family's face and saves the fallen rebels, while Yuanmeng is a dusty girl who is greedy for the Qin family's money. The county chronicle said that after Qin Xiaozhong found the two, after the teaching of righteous words, Qin Shaoqing finally lost his way and took the initiative to separate from Yuanmeng. As for Yuanmeng, Qin Xiaozhong gave her a large sum of money and then let her go, and that night Yuanmeng left Shangxian Village with the money and disappeared.
When Zhang Yuanqing said this, Wu Wei interrupted him and told Zhang Yuanqing and Liu Yue how Qin Xiaozhong broke up the two and buried Yuanmeng alive. After listening to Wu Wei's narration, Zhang Yuanqing and Liu Yue were very surprised.
Liu Yue asked him, "How did you know these things?" ”
Wu Wei didn't hide anything from the two masters, he told them what Qing Shao said in his ear after biting him, as well as the memories that didn't belong to him and the recent dreams that appeared in his mind later. Liu Yuecai nodded suddenly in realization, and he said, "I saw that Qing Shao turning into a real person and biting you at the time, so I felt that things were not so simple!" ”
Wu Wei said to Liu Yue very apologetically: "At that time, I didn't hide it from my master, but there were always others around me, so I didn't find a chance to tell you. ”
Liu Yue said understandingly: "It doesn't matter, now that we have just eliminated the Lu Dao forces led by Qing Shao, these things are really not suitable for too many people to know." ”
Zhang Yuanqing also nodded in understanding, and he said to Wu Wei: "What you saw in the dream should be the truth, so that you can explain why the Qin family was later retaliated against by the fierce ghosts of Yuanmeng." ”
"Yuanmeng has become a ghost?" Wu Wei woke up after dreaming that Yuanmeng was buried alive, so he didn't know what happened later.
Zhang Yuanqing nodded and said, "Yes, after Qin Shaoqing followed Qin Xiaozhong home, he married the young lady of the Liu family soon after, and the Liu family, like the Qin family, is also a famous family in Wangxiang City, so the Qin family can be regarded as regaining face." But the good times didn't last long, and then the young lady of the Liu family became pregnant, which was originally a great joy, Qin Xiaozhong held a feast at home to celebrate, and the accident happened that night. ”
The day of the Qin family's feast was the eighth day of the sixth month, and a full year had passed since the night of Yuanmeng's disappearance. The banquet didn't end until late at night, and the Qin family's subordinates all saw a red-clothed figure floating in the Qin family's courtyard when they were cleaning up the mess of the banquet. The people were very scared, so they all went back to their rooms to rest after hastily cleaning up.
Early the next morning, the Qin family found that the nine men who were guarding the gate had all died violently, and all of them had died of suffocation, and their eyes were staring at each other as if they had seen something terrible before they died. Combined with the red-clothed phantom that people saw last night, everyone said that a powerful ghost came to ask for their lives, and suddenly the entire Qin family was immersed in panic.
On the same day, Qin Shaoqing went crazy after learning about this, and he kept muttering: "I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you......"
Qin Xiaozhong did not report to the official, but ordered everyone not to spread the matter, and then sent people to the Taoist temple on the mountain to invite a few Taoist priests with strong spells. That night, the Taoist priests did a ritual to exorcise ghosts in the Qin family's compound, and the night was spent peacefully. But just when the Qin family thought that the ghost had been driven away, on the night of the third day, several more family members of the Qin family died, and even Qin Xiaozhong dreamed that the red-clothed ghost came to him to ask for his life. Qin Xiaozhong was both frightened and angry, because in the dream, the female ghost in red told him that he was next!
Wu thought that these dead family members should be those who followed Qin Xiaozhong to Shangxian Village at that time.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Qin Xiaozhong invited those Taoist priests to his home again, and asked them to completely eradicate the ghosts and make her soul scatter! So on the night of the fourth day, several Taoist priests did another ritual at Qin's house, but this time the ritual changed from exorcising ghosts to exterminating ghosts.
But no one thought that this powerful ghost had too deep resentment, and although Qin Xiaozhong's life was saved that night, several Taoist priests almost lost their lives when they were fighting with the powerful ghosts. Early the next morning, no matter how Qin Xiaozhong retained, several Taoist priests hurriedly left because they were not good enough. What's more serious is that Qin Shaoqing suddenly went crazy that night and almost strangled Miss Liu, but fortunately, he woke up his subordinates to save Miss Liu in his hands. However, due to excessive fright, coupled with Qin Shaoqing's toss, the fetus in Miss Liu's womb was also miscarried.
It may be that Qin Xiao's loyalty should not be broken, but when the Qin family was helpless, a Jianghu warlock took the initiative to come to the door. The warlock said that he passed by the Qin Mansion and saw that the Qin Mansion was shrouded in a layer of evil energy, and knew that there must be evil demons and ghosts in the mansion, so he took the initiative to come to the door.
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Qin Xiaozhong invited the Jianghu Warlock to the room and told him the ins and outs of the whole thing. Then under the leadership of the warlock, Qin Xiaozhong took some subordinates to Shangxian Village. When he arrived at Shangxian Village, Qin Xiaozhong learned that there was also a ghost in Shangxian Village a few days ago, probably because of the protection of the String Moon Array, so it was only once and it was not too fierce.
The warlock concluded that this powerful ghost must have become after Yuanmeng's death, and he led everyone to Guanyin Mountain to find Yuanmeng's body. According to the county records, when they found Yuanmeng's body at the foot of Guanyin Mountain, they said that Yuanmeng had fallen into the mountain and died. And Wu Wei knew that these records in the county records must be false, and the Jianghu Warlock and Qin Xiaozhong and the villagers of Shangxian Village at that time had concealed the facts.
After finding Yuanmeng's corpse, the Jianghu Warlock used a spell to bind Yuanmeng's soul inside the corpse, temporarily trapping her and preventing her from turning into a powerful ghost to come out and ask for her life. Then ask Qin Xiaozhong to find someone to build an iron coffin within three days, and use black dog blood, chicken blood, and cinnabar mixed in red paint to paint the iron coffin red.
Qin Xiaozhong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly found a craftsman to build the iron coffin, and the iron coffin was completed three days later. The warlock ordered the corpse trapped in Yuanmeng's soul to be packed in a big red iron coffin, and then transported the iron coffin to Guanyin Mountain and sealed it in a cave.
The ghost was finally eliminated, but Qin Shaoqing disappeared, and Qin Xiaozhong sent countless people to look for it but couldn't find it. Later, Miss Liu was taken back to her parents' home, and the Liu family also broke off relations with the Qin family, and since then, the Qin family's business has suffered setbacks everywhere and slowly began to go downhill. Qin Xiaozhong was old, and after a series of blows, he died of illness within a few years. Since then, the Qin family has gone and scattered, and the industry has long been lost.
