Chapter 77: Demon Boy
The reason why Dao Law School can survive is because Dao Law School has its own profit model while undertaking the responsibility of 'catching ghosts and exorcism'.
You must know that back then, Zhang Daoling, the patriarch of the Heavenly Master, also accepted five buckets of rice from believers before they could be allowed to join the church. After all, this cultivator is also a human being, and he always needs to eat, drink, and live before he ascends to feather.
Especially for those cultivators who specialize in the art of mercury, their cost is even more. Therefore, it is understandable that the Dao Law School should make a profit.
Of course, the main source of profit for Dao Law School is still those who have money. As soon as these rich people get tangled in dirt, they turn to the Taoist Law School for help. Once the Dao Law Academy helped him solve the problem, these rich people would not hesitate to reward us with a large amount of money.
On the other hand, it is not that the school of law does not do things without money. As long as we get money from the rich people to meet our daily expenses, as long as we can, we will never shirk some tasks that the poor cannot pay.
For example, this time, we accepted a mission without oil and water. The helper was an old woman from a mountain village, and this old woman traveled nearly thousands of miles to a Taoist temple under the Taoist Law School and the incense was flourishing to ask for help.
This time, Zhang Yang and Tian Gang were in charge of driving, and we 'drove' to the place where the accident occurred. While the car was driving, Zhang Yang told us about the case. ’
It turned out that the old lady's grandson, who is seven years old this year, is a child with autism. The child's parents work outside the home, and they can only come back once in a long time, and seeing that the child is of school age, God wants the child to go to school.
But the primary school in the town refused to accept the child, but fortunately, there was a kind teacher in the primary school who promised to vouch for the child, so that the child could enter the campus and follow the other students in class. Usually in life, this teacher also takes good care of this child.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, about half a year ago, there was a homicide in the village. A nine-year-old boy was found hanging from the beam of his house. After seeing this, some old people in the village who were rough and watery and yin and yang asserted that the boy had been killed by demons.
Legend has it that when the boy died, he was wearing a dress worn by a girl, and his body was seated on a low bamboo bench. He had a wire around his neck, and the wire was tied to the beams. Under the bamboo stool, there was a puddle of urine.
There are too many doubts about this way of dying. The boy had no external injuries all over his body, and even if he was hanged, he should have been hanged from a high place. But now, the boy is sitting on a low bamboo table, leaning forward, such a height, if he is really strangled by the neck and causes suffocation, he will definitely sit up subconsciously, so he will definitely not die.
Unless someone was pulling him at the scene, but from the traces of the police at the scene, there was no trace of dragging or struggling at all.
At first, some people thought that it was the urine left by the boy's urinary incontinence in a near-death state, but after the police tested, a virus was detected in the urine, and this virus did not exist in the boy's body.
That is, this urine is someone else's urine.
At that time, the old man who was rough about yin and yang feng shui directly asserted that someone must be raising a little ghost. The murderer killed the child in this way in order to facilitate the extraction of the child's soul, and only in this way can the soul of a ghost be completely extracted.
I looked at Zhang Yang: "In that case, then let's go directly and find that bastard who uses evil magic to harm people." What does this have to do with that autistic child? ”
Zhang Yang had a black face: "Relationship? Hmph, that's interesting. Just after this incident, a student in the village said that he once saw the autistic child using a doll to look like the deceased when he died.
And when he put it up, the murder had not yet happened, that is, they suspected that this incident had something to do with this autistic child! ”
Everyone next to me froze for a moment, and I felt that Zhang Yang might have more 'exciting' things to say next, so I waved my hand at a few people next to me: "Don't worry, listen to what Zhang Yang has to say." ”
Zhang Yang smiled coldly, and then said: "If it is just a student's words, of course there will be no problem. The problem is that within half a year, several different children have witnessed the autistic child using clay figures, puppets, straw figures and other things to pose as the scene of the murder.
Often, after that, a murder occurs in as little as a day or two, or as often as a week or so. And the appearance of the murder scene is no different from the appearance of this child.
So some people claimed that this child was a demon boy, and he would kill the whole village. So they had to drive their family out of the village. ”
"What are you kidding, just because of this, you have to drive the family away?" Ma Guo frowned and said disapprerovingly.
"It is already polite to take them away, and the families of several deceased even demanded that the so-called 'demon boy' be arrested and executed in Shentan. Fortunately, some school teachers took pity on their family and, together with the village cadres, persuaded the villagers to stop.
However, just about a month ago, another murder occurred. This time, the villagers couldn't take it anymore, and they have now arrested the child and locked him up in the ancestral hall in the village.
In order to save the child and prove the child's innocence, the child's grandmother slept all the way, rubbed the train, rubbed the car, and it took nearly two weeks to get to our Taoist temple in Nanyang City, and found the host to ask the host for help. Zhang Yang said.
I looked at Zhang Yang, frowned and asked, "Teacher Zhang, I want to ask you something, can you answer me honestly?" ”
Zhang Yang smiled slightly: "But you're still afraid that I'm not honest?" Tell me what you want to know. ”
I took a deep breath and asked, "What I want to know is, do you believe there is such a thing as a demon child?" Do you think it's possible that this kid did it, and he wasn't wronged? ”
Zhang Yang nodded: "Cultivators should know that in the world, anything can happen. So this time, our mission is to find out the truth, not to rescue the child. If he is truly guilty, then there is a price to pay. ”
