The street in the morning is at its most lively.

Xichen is not a person who is too good at messing around with people, so for the old man's indecent words, Xichen often just has a helpless wry smile, which can be regarded as his response.

Xiao Daozi on the side, his eyes suddenly became complicated, he glanced at his apprentice intentionally or unintentionally, and sighed in a low voice that only he could hear: "Third child, you are not afraid, but I am really afraid of the old man, but what can I do if I am afraid......"

The old soup man's house was not too close, and when Xiao Daozi and Xichen walked all the way, it was already the first half of the day.

The small Zhuangzi surrounded by mountains and rivers is not wide, but it is very deep.

Xiao Daozi insisted on pulling Xichen to the river to have a look.

Brushing aside the knee-high weeds that grew on the riverbank, until the soil under his feet began to become soft, Xichen frowned and asked Xiao Daozi: "Master, in this river, it doesn't look like a dead person?" I can't feel a little cold air, and where there is resentment, people can detect it somewhat! ”

Xiao Daozi was already sitting on the riverbank, and his mouth was full of words: "Hey, the riverside is cool, as cool as yesterday!" Come on, come on, take a break! ”

The breeze on the shore, with water vapor, is refreshing.

Xichen looked at the mud on the grass, and just squatted down: "Master, what did you and the second child do all day yesterday?" Didn't you two come and see it here? Why are you still here? ”

Xiao Daozi pulled a dog's tail grass and played with the insects on the ground: "It's cool, the second child said that this place is a good place to drink and play cards......"

Xichen suddenly became uncalm, and asked tentatively: "So...... You two ...... yesterday."

Xiao Daozi glanced at Xichen obliquely: "Oh, you kid, it's really boring, I won't take you out in the future!" ”

As he spoke, Xiao Daozi put away the laziness in his eyes and said meaningfully, "You also feel it?" There is not a trace of corpse gas in this river, and the wind is also refreshing! Yesterday, the second child also said that there was no problem, the third child, don't you feel strange? ”

"Master, didn't you say that the empty corpse in this river disappeared in this water? If that's the case, then how can you not feel a little corpse gas? ”

Xichen took a few steps forward, rolled up his sleeves, reached out and dug into the mud for a while, threw away the live loaches, stood by the gravel, washed his hands, and thought thoughtfully.

Xiao Daozi smiled: "If there is really a corpse, how can it be so vibrant?" ”

Xichen became more and more puzzled: "However, obviously many people have seen floating corpses floating in this river, so many people can't be wrong at the same time?" ”

"How is it impossible to be wrong at the same time? No problem is the biggest problem, third, that thing can affect a person's mind, can't it affect the mind of other people? ”

Xiao Daozi's words that seemed to be smiling made Xichen stunned: "Are you saying that there are no floating corpses in this river at all, and the so-called soaked floating corpses are all hallucinations born from the evil control of people's minds?" How much resentment does that have to be, old man? ”

The smile on Xiao Daozi's face gradually disappeared: "I asked yesterday, this piece, except for the old soup head who made a living by fishing corpses when he was young, so ah, that evil thing made such a play, it's very simple, just to let the old soup head take the bait!" This is no longer the mind that ordinary ghosts can have! As a teacher, I just can't understand how an old man who has no grudges with others can be worthy of such a big resentment from this ghost! ”

Xichen seemed to remember something: "Master, yesterday you said that the granddaughter of the old soup boss has been having nightmares for the past few days? ”

Xiao Daozi stood up and leaned back slightly: "Let's go, third child, I asked you to come here today just for this matter, I have been tinkering with some landscape paintings in the mountains all day long, and this row will be useful!" ”

……

。。。。。。。。。。。。

The granddaughter of the old soup head is about five or six years old, and she looks like a very well-behaved little girl.

It's just that the complexion is not good, some are not energetic, and the complexion is sick and white.

In the small courtyard of the blue brick house, the little girl hid in the corner and looked at Xichen timidly, and there was a woman in her thirties standing beside her, with eyebrows and eyes like the little girl.

Xiao Daozi took a pen and wrote a few words on the yellow paper, and asked the woman: "Look, is it the eight characters of this girl?" ”

The woman snorted and nodded, a little apprehensive.

"Third child, don't use too much force, the little girl's three souls have been shocked!"

Xiao Daozi handed the yellow talisman to Xichen and said softly.

Xichen just nodded and touched the little girl's head: "Don't be afraid, listen to my brother's words, close your eyes, and think about the person in yesterday's dream again!" ”

As he spoke, Xichen suddenly pinched a strange handprint, and pinched the triangular yellow talisman with his little finger in a strange posture, and the yellow talisman spontaneously combusted without fire until it turned into ashes, and Xichen was still unmoved, and the little girl. But he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Enter the soul seal, borrow the eight-character life of the person, and enter the soul.

Xichen closed his eyes for a moment, then withdrew his hand, twisted the talisman ash in his hand, and wiped it on the little girl's three soul portal, doing so can calm people's minds.

After that, Xi Chen's eyes dropped and took the pen in Xiao Daozi's hand, and on a piece of rice paper that had already been prepared, he sketched one by one, but with a stick of incense, there was a shadow of one more person on the paper, a lifelike person, a little girl who was about to touch her teens, and her eyes were gloomy.

Xiao Daozi looked at the painting, and his mouth was amazed: "Third child, do the master a favor, catch up with Ming'er, you will paint me the big girls and little daughters-in-law on the street, and I will hang the head of the bed at night when I ...... sleep."

The corners of Xichen's mouth twitched, and he automatically ignored Xiao Daozi's words, snatched it and handed it to the woman, and said warmly: "Eldest sister, take a closer look, do you recognize this little girl in the painting?" ”

The woman took the painting tremblingly, and at first glance, her face suddenly turned pale, and she covered her mouth and whined, as if she remembered something unusually frightened.

After the fright, the woman suddenly collapsed to the ground along the corner of the wall, and began to cry out, "O iniquity...... Iniquity......"

No matter how Xichen and Xiao Daozi asked, the woman just cried.

In the end, he cried silently and said, "Put the ...... Call us back! And me...... Mother-in-law ......"

The woman's mother-in-law, that is, the son and wife of the old soup man, at this time, was busy sorting out the coffin, paper people, paper horses and other things for the old soup head.

When the man and the old lady came home, they looked blankly at the miserable woman in the corner.

The woman just handed the painted picture with trembling hands.

Strangely, the old lady took one look at it and fainted clutching her chest.

The man's face was sallow, sweat was like rain, and he helped the old lady well, only then he choked up and held the painting, and smiled bitterly: "It's all retribution......"

Xichen and Xiao Daozi just stood aside silently and didn't ask much.

It took a long time for the man to bring the painting to the little girl who was sleeping on the bed, and said with a miserable smile: "Two masters, look, is it a little similar to my little girl?" If she were still alive, she would be this year old......"

Xichen hesitated a little: "She is ......"

The man glanced at Xichen for a long time, and then closed his eyes with a painful expression and said: "She is the first girl of our husband and wife, when she was born, the gentleman who criticized the eight characters said that this child is not good...... Many years ago, I had a strange illness, and I lost my ......."

In the end, the man hid his face and cried bitterly: "Xiaoxiao, we can't stand you......"
