Chapter 35: The Evil of Embroidery

Daoist Qiu smiled and said, "Did you see that black old man?" ”

I didn't react for a while, and Daoist Qiu continued: "His temper is really stinky, and it is estimated that it has become more and more stinky over the years!" It's not comparable to Cui Fujun. ”

I thought about it for a while, and the appearance of Lord Zhong Kui suddenly appeared in my mind, but I was not sure, so I asked.

Daoist Qiu said angrily: "Who else can there be besides him." ”

I glanced at Daoist Qiu in surprise, and listened to his tone, as if I had expected to meet Zhong Kui. I stared at him for a few seconds, and Daoist Qiu patted it and said, "Zhang Yan, what kind of eyes are you?" Hurry up and tell me what happened to you in the underworld, you have been gone for several hours, and your daughter-in-law blames me for letting you go, worried that you will die. ”

Xiao Wanwan didn't say anything, just moved her eyes outside.

Daoist Qiu succeeded in distracting me. I told Daoist Qiu everything that happened in the underworld.

Daoist Qiu touched his beard and said, "Someone is trying to squeeze you out and make you unable to be the lord of this land." ”

I hummed, Daoist Qiu said, but five days should be enough.

I went on to say, "It's just that there's one more king's land, and he's sure to be bad in the middle." ”

Daoist Qiu waved his hand, it didn't matter. It seems that he didn't take the king's land into account at all. After I finished talking to Daoist Qiu, there was a knock on the door not long after, and the butler's voice sounded and said, "A few masters, my master is invited." ”

Xiao Wanwan answered the call and opened the door. When the key saw me, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and he said to me, "Master, have you just returned from the underworld?" ”

I hummed and didn't say much.

He then asked me what I had met in the underworld and what it looked like. I ignored him.

When I arrived at the main hall of the Li Mansion, Master Li was already waiting there, and after seeing me, he couldn't wait to ask me how his wife was.

Because I promised to help Master Li bring Mrs. Li's soul back, but I didn't bring it back at all, I had to say sorry to Mr. Li, saying that Mrs. Li's soul couldn't come back for the time being, but Mrs. Li asked me to bring the words back.

Master Li hurriedly asked me what I brought? I'll tell you the truth.

Master Li sighed, his expression was very sad. Also asked me what to do next?

I looked at Daoist Qiu, and Daoist Qiu said, "Master Li, you don't have to worry, within five days, your wife will definitely return to her soul." ”

Is Master Li serious? Daoist Qiu hummed, but before that, anywhere in the Li Mansion, we have to walk around casually, do you think it's okay?

Master Li didn't think about it, so he said yes.

Daoist Qiu pulled me and said, "Let's go to Mrs. Li's room first." ”

Master Li said that he also followed, but when he arrived at Mrs. Li's room, he found that it had been cleaned a long time ago, leaving no traces. It's just that after a while, Daoist Qiu suddenly said, "Master Li, are you and your wife sleeping in separate rooms?" ”

Master Li hummed and said, yes, I've slept in separate rooms for several years, what's wrong?

Daoist Qiu smiled and said that it was nothing. My eyes swept around the room, and suddenly on the beam, I found a shoe. Black embroidered shoes.

I reminded Daoist Qiu, who glanced at him and said lightly: "Shoes are equal to evil, and someone has done something in the house." Who can enter this house in general? ”

Master Li said: "The girl who usually cleans and the old mother who serves by her side, Mother Wu." ”

Daoist Qiu asked Master Li to find someone over, and Master Li quickly ordered his subordinates to do it, and when the people came, Master Li asked coldly, "What about Mother Wu?" ”

The girl who was cleaning the room was suddenly frightened and trembled, and said, "Mother Wu, I went home to visit my relatives two days ago." ”

Master Li continued: "Why didn't anyone tell me? ”

The girl said, such a trivial matter generally only needs to be told to the woman, it is the master who said it himself. What else does Master Li want to say. I interrupted Mr. Li's words and asked Mr. Li to find someone to take down the shoes first. The housekeeper quickly found a bamboo pole and got the shoe off.

After the shoe fell off, I held it in my hand and asked the people present if they had seen whose shoe it was.

As soon as my words fell, the girl just now said, "These shoes belong to Wu's mother." ”

I said are you sure?

The girl said, I'm sure, I accompanied Wu's mother to choose the upper, and Wu's mother said that she liked the pattern of the shoes and bought it.

When Master Li heard this, he was angry and said, "Okay! I spent money to support this old lady, and I actually had a crooked mind and killed my wife, butler, you take someone to this old lady to catch me back. ”

The butler answered the call and went with the people. I didn't stop either. Daoist Qiu didn't say anything.

Old Man Li was so angry that he coughed. I advised Master Li to go back and rest first, and I would tell him what the result was. After Master Li left, I let the rest of the people disperse, and there were only three people left in the house, including me and Daoist Qiu Xiao Wanwan.

I asked Daoist Qiu, "Could it really be Mama Wu?" ”

Daoist Qiu put his hands behind his back: "These shoes are equal to evil, Mrs. Li's death is unusual, she is not without suspicion, but have you seen anything else on the beam?" ”

I listened to Daoist Qiu's words, and immediately looked at the beam again, but I didn't see anything.

I asked Daoist Qiu, "Daoist, where is that thing?" ”

Daoist Qiu said lightly: "The beams and pillows are black wood, and if you don't die, you won't live long." His words made me suddenly realize, and when I looked again, I found that the beams of this room were all black, and at this time, I felt a little crazy.

Daoist Qiu said: "Do you feel that we are standing in a coffin now? ”

I twitched coldly, so I did feel this way.

I asked Daoist Qiu, "Is this considered someone preparing a coffin for Mrs. Li in advance?" ”

Daoist Qiu said: "Count, but it may have been prepared by someone else." Daoist Qiu pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, come back in the evening, maybe there will be other gains.

I hummed and walked out with Daoist Qiu. Xiao Wanwan would ask me, "Are you hungry?" I'll go to the kitchen and order you a bowl of noodles. ”

Daoist Qiu said, by the way, also give me a bowl.

After Xiao left in the evening. Daoist Qiu took me to the door of the Li Mansion, and when the door opened, I saw a beggar squatting next to me, as if crying. The beggar was dressed in tatters, and his hair had not been cut for many days, so he looked miserable.

But he cried as if he was very sad. I thought to myself, this beggar must be hungry, right? Generally, large families hold red and white ceremonies, and beggars will come over and beg for food.

I went up and gave the beggar a little change, and said to him, "Go and buy something to eat." Don't cry anymore. ”

After I gave him the money, he didn't leave. No, it's not enough. I then gave a large denomination, and he didn't leave, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. But the whole time, he was squatting and crying, and he didn't look up at me.

I was about to say something, but Daoist Qiu pulled me down and shook his head. I stepped back. Daoist Qiu said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I don't know why the little brother is crying here?" If you have any difficulties, you might as well listen to it and see if Poor Dao can help you. ”

The beggar looked up at us. I also took the opportunity to see his appearance clearly.

When I saw it clearly, I couldn't help but be stunned, this beggar was really crying, not pretending.

After Daoist Qiu asked, the beggar did not squeak.

Daoist Qiu was patient, and then asked, "Isn't it the person who died in the Li Mansion, who is your relative?" That's why you're so sad. ”

After saying this, the beggar immediately spoke: "What nonsense are you talking about, can't Lao Tzu just cry casually?" The beggar scolded as he stood up and patted his knee. was scolded by the beggar, Daoist Qiu was not annoyed, and said: "If you have any difficulties, you can still find us, this little brother next to Poor Dao, but he has been to the underworld and can talk to the judge." ”

The beggar looked at me in surprise and said, "Really? ”

Although he wondered why Daoist Qiu talked so much to a beggar, he still hummed.

The beggar looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said, if you really have the ability, don't let people die in vain, and the beggar turned around and disappeared into the alley after speaking.

Daoist Qiu retracted his gaze and asked me, "Zhang Yan, this beggar is crying at the door of the Li Mansion, not for food, not for money, why do you say this?" ”

I thought about it, but I didn't come up with a clue. asked Daoist Qiu, and Daoist Qiu said lightly: "You will know when the time comes." ”

Daoist Qiu sold it to me again, and I didn't ask about it. With his urine, he will tell me when it's time to tell me. Back at the Li Mansion, Xiao Wanwan's noodles were also ready, and Daoist Qiu praised Xiao Wanwan's good craftsmanship while eating, saying that I was really blessed.

I couldn't help but praise it, Xiao Wanwan said implicitly, if you like it, I will often make it for you in the future.

I said yes! I can't ask for it.

When it was close to the evening, the housekeeper came back with someone, saying that he had not found Wu's mother in his hometown, and the people in her hometown said that Wu's mother had not come back at all. Wu's mother seemed to disappear out of thin air, which made Master Li even more convinced that Wu's mother was the murderer, and he was angry and asked people to find Wu's mother's traces.

Later, after dinner, Daoist Xiao and I walked towards Mrs. Li's room in the evening. Pushing open the door creaked, I turned on the light, and Daoist Qiu asked me to close the door, and then took out a ** from his sleeve, and then spilled the liquid in the ** to the beam.

After sprinkling, Daoist Qiu asked me to turn off the lights.

As soon as the lights were turned off, Xiao Wanwan called out to me: "Zhang Yan, look at it." ”

I immediately looked in the direction of Xiao Wanwan's finger, and saw several footprints on the beams, emitting a green light.

Daoist Qiu said: "This is not the footprints of a living person, if you guess correctly, it should be left by a ghost." ”

I answered, "Could it be that the embroidered shoes from before summoned these ghosts to kill Mrs. Li?" ”

Daoist Qiu did not deny it, nor did he speak. It was only at this time that there was a noise outside, and I heard someone shouting that I had found Wu's mother. I told Daoist Qiu to go out and have a look, and Daoist Qiu said yes. When we went to the door, when we saw Wu's mother, we found that she was dead, wet, as if she had been drowned.

The housekeeper quickly revealed that Master Li had fished it from a well, and that the body had been dead for several days. The body is soaked and rotten.

I got closer and wanted to check, but as soon as I got closer, the corpse that was lying down suddenly sat up straight, and suddenly all the frightened people dispersed, I just reacted, but Wu's mother then made a more unexpected action for me, and when Daoist Qiu saw this, he quickly grabbed his shoulder and pulled me back......
