Qinling Town, East Junction.

A large willow tree fell to the ground, from top to bottom, split in half by lightning.

This willow tree has been hugged together for some years. According to the old man in the town, this willow tree was planted when the Qing soldiers entered the customs.

A willow tree, which had lived for more than 200 years, was suddenly split in half by lightning, causing quite a stir. Some old people in the town were gossiping about it.

Someone said: "When the willow tree is fine, it will be killed by lightning." ”

Someone even said: "There is a fairy living in the willow tree, who caused the wrath of the heavens, and was killed by thunder and lightning." ”

Another person said: "The big willow tree was suddenly struck by lightning, it must be an omen, a bad omen, it is possible that something evil will happen in our Qinling Town." ”

Lu Hao followed the police, walked on the street, heard the old man talking, and felt that this matter was unusual.

Lu Hao was silent for a while and said, "Brother, how long have you been in Qinling Town?" ”

"It's been more than a year!" The policeman surnamed Chen sighed, "I was originally on an errand in Xi'an City, but later I offended Miss Wang and was calculated by her." ”

Lu Hao was surprised: "You are talking about the daughter of the richest man in Xi'an City, Wang Jingshan." ”

"Who else but her?" Police Officer Chen said frustratedly, "His uncle is the bureau chief, and rectifying my little policeman is the same as playing." ”

Lu Hao asked, "How did you offend her?" ”

Police Officer Chen sighed: "It's not that I'm nosy, and I said a few things that shouldn't be said. ”

Next, he told the story of what happened.

It turned out that a year ago, just a few days after Police Officer Chen was on duty, he encountered a tricky matter. On the day of the incident, Wang Jingshan rode a horse and went on a rampage on the street, frightening an old man.

Out of kindness, Police Officer Chen helped the old man up and said a few more words.

Wang Jingshan held a grudge and told her uncle about it. The uncle, who is the chief of police, gave an order to drive this unlucky policeman to Qinling Town.

All the policemen who worked on errands in Qinling Town couldn't get along in Xi'an City, so they came here.

When Lu Hao learned of this, he was shocked and said, "Wang Jingshan, why are you so arrogant and domineering? ”

Police Officer Chen said: "She is the daughter of the richest man, the eldest lady, who dares to offend." It's just that I'm stunned that I will hit the muzzle of the gun. The young ladies of rich families are all virtuous and rich and capricious. ”

Lu Hao nodded silently and thought deeply, it seems that this Wang Jingshan is pampered and has a bad body. Twenty years ago, Wang Jingshan, although she was big-minded and brainless, was kind-hearted.

Now this Wang Jingshan is not only flexible, but also quite unreasonable, and she is a domineering queen.

In a few days, when Lu Hao leaves Qinling Town, he will definitely go to find Wang Jingshan, and when the time comes, it will be a blessing or a curse, it is difficult to predict.

Lu Hao sighed and followed the police to the place where the incident occurred. A large willow tree fell to the ground, split in half by lightning, with traces of burning in the middle.

Lu Hao looked at it for a while and said, "Your captain was injured by the willow tree here?" ”

Police Officer Chen nodded and said, "I was next to me at the time, which scared me." A thunderbolt fell from the sky and directly split the big willow tree in half. Our captain was stupefied! ”

Lu Hao squatted down, looked carefully for a while, and found that there was an evil aura left in the split willow tree. Where the willow tree cracked, there was a hole with some bones in it.

Lu Hao frowned and asked, "When the thunder and lightning split the willow tree, there was nothing that escaped from it?" ”

"It seems to be." Police Officer Chen recalled for a while and said, "I seemed to see a black shadow coming out of the willow tree, and then it disappeared. ”

Lu Hao knew in his heart that there was a small monster hidden in the willow tree. This little monster didn't know what to do, and it caused heavenly punishment.

Thunder and lightning split the willow tree to kill the little monster inside.

The little monster will not die and will escape.

It was at this time that Captain Liu stood under the willow tree to pee and suffered from the pond fish. This Captain Liu is really unlucky! This kind of thing can happen.

Lu Hao looked at the willow tree, his brows furrowed, and found a hair inside. The hair was a centimeter long, pitch-black, and very hard.

Lu Hao looked at it for a while, and felt that this hair was left behind when the little monster fled.

What is this little monster, and why was it struck by lightning?

Lu Hao was silent for a while and said, "It's okay here, you can go back." Tell you captain, hurry up and act, and make sure that all the people know what will happen tomorrow night, and be sure to prepare black dog blood and peach wood swords, etc. ”

"Captain Lu is assured that he will complete the task." Officer Chen left.

Lu Hao thought for a while, this person doesn't know how to do carpentry, how to make a peach sword. The peachwood sword made by the common people was not blessed by the Dao Law, and it could not deal with the vicious ghosts at all.

It seems that the matter of the peach wood sword needs to be figured out by itself.

Lu Hao walked on the street of Qinling Town and saw a coffin shop.

There's a way!

Lu Hao smiled in his heart and walked in.

The owner of the coffin shop smiled and said, "Young man, who is buying the coffin for!" ”

Lu Hao smiled and said, "I don't buy coffins. ”

The boss glared and said in amazement: "You don't buy a coffin, what are you doing here?" ”

Lu Hao said: "That's the case, I need to make a lot of peach wood swords, how about your carpentry work?" ”

"I'm not blowing with you, I'm the best carpenter in Qinling Town. These coffins are all made by my own hands, and the quality is guaranteed. "The owner was smug.

"I just want to know if you can make a peachwood sword." Lu Hao said.

"Of course I can, there's no carpentry job I can't do!" The boss began to brag again, "Young man, what do you want the peachwood sword for?" ”

"Ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons!" Lu Hao asked, "How many families are there in this Qinling Town?" ”

The carpenter boss pondered for a moment and said, "It should be ten thousand and three hundred households." ”

Lu Hao said solemnly: "I want 11,000 peachwood swords." ”

The carpenter boss was shocked: "What do you want so many peachwood swords for?" ”

"You'll find out tomorrow." Lu Hao continued, "How much does it cost to make these peachwood swords?" ”

The carpenter boss pondered for a while and said, "The wood plus the labor fee will cost at least ninety oceans." ”

"I'll give you a hundred oceans, and tomorrow before sunset, it must be delivered." Lu Hao took out a hundred oceans and threw them on the table.

"You can rest assured that the delivery will be on time." The carpenter boss looked at the silver dollar in white flowers, and was elated, this is a huge amount of money.

In the past, selling coffins could not earn 50 oceans all year round, but now there are 100 oceans all of a sudden, which is simply gold falling from the sky.

The carpenter boss hurried to action, contacted relatives and friends, and made a mahogany sword together.

The carpenter's boss bought a peach orchard and contacted the lumberjacks to work overtime to cut down all the peach trees.

A large number of peach trees were transported to Qinling Town, causing quite a stir.

The people of the town didn't know what was going on and asked one after another.

The carpenter boss said with a smile, there is a young man who asked me to make more than 10,000 peachwood swords, saying that they are used to ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts. These peach trees are the raw materials for making peach swords.

The carpenter boss recruited some temporary workers to make a peachwood sword overnight. The entire coffin shop is closed.

Before sunset, a total of 14 policemen from Qinling Town were all dispatched, banging gongs in their hands, walking down the street to publicize the events of tomorrow night.

The captain of the police went out in person, walked in front, held a bullhorn in his hand, and shouted: "Fellow villagers, there is something that must be notified to you. ”

"Tomorrow night, black clouds will cover the moon, and a hundred ghosts will walk at night, and your lives will be in danger. Daoist Lu said, let each of you prepare rooster blood, black dog blood, glutinous rice flour, cow tears, willow branches, etc. ”

"Hey, Captain Liu, what kind of play are you doing?" A fat man with a fat head and big ears appeared, richly dressed, and was supposed to be a rich landowner.

Captain Liu smiled and said, "Boss Feng, you better hurry up and go home and prepare something to exorcise evil spirits, be careful of your own life." ”

"Captain Liu, what you said is true?" Boss Feng was skeptical.

Captain Liu nodded and said, "I didn't believe it before, but then I did, do you know why?" ”

Boss Feng shook his head, saying that he didn't know.

Captain Liu smiled and said, "Because I'm afraid of death." I don't want to die, so I go home and prepare something to ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts. Of course, if you've lived enough, you don't have to prepare anything, just die. ”

Boss Feng was so frightened that he hurried home to go.

A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said with a smile: "Captain Liu, I don't have a rooster at home, I don't have a black dog, and I don't have glutinous rice, what should I do?" ”

Captain Liu said angrily: "You are stupid! Won't spend money to buy. ”

"The point is that I don't have any money!"

"What are you doing alive if you don't have money, wait for death!"

A middle-aged man asked, "Captain Liu, will there really be a hundred ghosts walking at night tomorrow night?" ”

Captain Liu grimaced and snorted coldly: "Whether it will appear or not, I don't know." If you have any questions, you can go to the Dog Temple and ask Daoist Lu, he knows better than me. ”

"Folks, let's go to the Dog God Temple and ask Chief Lu for clarification." The middle-aged people responded, and many people followed.

"Hehe, these Diao people!" Captain Liu sneered and continued to shout with a loudspeaker.
