20. Ghosts send gods

Shang Jiawen's murder case has been solved. Shang Jiawen, Zhang Hongliang, and three bribe-taking police officers and a forensic doctor who covered up Wang Dongmei's death 16 years ago were all in prison.

Tang Hui was the hero of this case, and was praised for his merits, and Qiao Wei and I also received a symbolic bonus as enthusiastic people. But compared to the government bonus of a few hundred yuan, the thank you gift from Zheng Lili and her brother Zheng Cheng is much richer.

Originally, we didn't have anything to do with Zheng Cheng, but Zheng Cheng still found me and Qiao Wei through Tang Hui, and shoehorned 200,000 yuan into the two of us, saying that it was as a reward for us to find out the real murderer of Zheng Lili. Money is a good thing, 200,000 is equivalent to a year's income of my hotel! I am a layman, and I was tempted when I saw the money, and the most important thing is that I felt that I deserved it.

Qiao Wei said that there are rules in the Bazhai Hall, and it is not allowed to take the initiative to ask for money for people to exorcise ghosts, remove evil, and eliminate disasters, but the beneficiary does not have to shirk if he takes the initiative to give it. So Qiao Wei and I took the money, and then added it to five, and each of us took 100,000 yuan and put it in our pockets.

From the initial investigation of the school haunting incident to the revelation of the truth about Zuihou, I never thought that I would gain anything from it, and now 100,000 yuan has been credited in this way, and it has been less than ten days before and after, which has given me a new understanding of the business of Mr. Feng Shui. I was even wondering if I should simply let Qiao Wei accept me as a Xiangtong, it felt like I was making more money than opening a restaurant and writing novels!

According to Qiao Wei, the people who usually invite Mr. Feng Shui are rich people, and it is normal to receive 18,000 when they go out of the hall once. If there is a seniority in the hall, the income will be higher, and the income of the hall master will often be hundreds of thousands, although the hall rules are not the main price to ask for money, but no one who invites Mr. will not be stingy, which is basically an unwritten rule. It is precisely because of the economic interests that many people covet the position of the hall master.

It's all fake, and I really haven't seen a saint who doesn't like money on shijie.

But listening to Qiao Wei, in order to be a feng shui ghost man, in addition to knowing how to deal with ghosts, he must also be proficient in reciting Buddhist scriptures such as the Sutra of Passing Away and the Sutra of Saving People. Although Mr. Ghost Things generally does not give people feng shui bureaus, nor does he go to find dragon points, but evil ghosts often gather in fierce places, so you must also be familiar with all feng shui bureaus, especially all kinds of dead and murderous situations, and know how to solve them.

In short, if a person like me wants to become a monk halfway, it is estimated that he will not be able to really go out to deal with ghost things until he is forty years old, so I still gave up the idea of becoming a feng shui gentleman and honestly opened my own restaurant and wrote my novels. But in the future, I can decide what my child's career will be in now!

Two days later, Qiao Wei and I finally had the opportunity to meet Shang Jiawen in the prison visitation room.

Just like when she first saw her at her doorstep, Shang Jiawen's face still didn't have too rich expressions, and she always maintained that sense of calm that only she could understand.

After sitting down face-to-face, Qiao Wei went straight to the point and asked Shang Jiawen where he learned the ghost control and murder method.

Shang Jiawen recognized the two of us, and before answering Qiao Wei's question, she apologized to the two of us, saying that she didn't want to hurt us in the previous two times, but just wanted us to retreat.

Regarding Wang Dongmei's ghost, Shang Jiawen said that she saw it on the night of the incident. Since then, Wang Dongmei's ghost has been haunting Shang Jiawen for a whole year, that is, this year completely destroyed Shang Jiawen's spirit. In ninety-eight years, Shang Jiawen began to privately look for various ways to cure ghosts, and later spent tens of thousands of yuan to hire a man who claimed to be a white python fairy, and finally tied Wang Dongmei's ghost to the place of her death - the old teaching building.

On the third day of the first lunar month last year, the white python fairy came back again, and he said that he calculated that Shang Jiawen was entangled by one person and one ghost, and the limit was approaching, so he provided Shang Jiawen with a way to kill a hundred, that is, to control ghosts and kill people. At that time, it happened that Zhang Hongliang and Zheng Lili had a falling out, and Shang Jiawen had been tortured physically and mentally over the years, so she accepted this method.

But after Shang Jiawen finally killed Zheng Lili, she did not feel relieved, but felt a heavier sense of guilt, and it was not until the moment the police appeared that she finally experienced a sense of relief, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her. So she confessed, and despite the fact that it hurt her father, she chose a path that allowed her to be at peace.

The white python fairy told Shang Jiawen that there are two ghost control methods, one is a spell and the other is a charm. I brought pen and paper with me when I visited the prison, so I asked Shang Jiawen to write down both of them, so that Qiao Wei could judge which school this white python fairy belonged to.

Shang Jiawen had just written more than a dozen Sanskrit-like characters, Qiao Wei grabbed the notebook, and recited a long list of incantations in one breath to ask Shang Jiawen if he was right.

Shang Jiawen was stunned for a moment, then nodded yes, and added that the spell that the white python fairy told her was longer than Qiao Wei said, and it took a few weeks just to memorize the spell.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Wei drew more than a dozen symbols on the paper for Shang Jiawen to see, and Shang Jiawen nodded again and said that it was the charm that the white python fairy told her.

As soon as I looked at Qiao Wei's frowning expression, I knew that this white python immortal was most likely a person inside the Bazhai Hall, even if it was not internal, it was related to the Bazhai Hall.

And so it turned out to be exactly what I expected.

Qiao Wei said that the ghost control technique used by Shang Jiawen was the magic used by the Bazhai Hall to capture the talisman immortals. However, Shang Jiawen has not undergone professional training, and in the jargon of the Eight Lent Hall, the Tao is too shallow, so there is a deviation in the use of the magic technique.

Shang Jiawen admitted to us that she knew the location of the button from Zhang Hongliang, and broke the button twice to kill Zheng Lili, but both times she mistakenly killed two innocent students. However, when she was planning to use ghosts to scare away Qiao Wei and me, she found a trick to control ghosts.

The method of controlling the ghost knew the way to come, and Qiao Wei asked Shang Jiawen for the contact information of the white python fairy, but Shang Jiawen said that she did not have the number of the white python fairy, and she had never seen this person since the white python took the initiative to visit last year.

Although there was no contact information, Shang Jiawen clearly remembered the appearance of the white python fairy, because he was too distinctive. Shang Jiawen said that Bai Python Immortal should be about forty-five years old this year, the hair on the back of his head is very thin, and the right eye is almost half the size of his left eye, as if he can't open it all the time.

It can be regarded as a talent to grow like this, but Qiao Wei doesn't remember that there is such a strange person in the Bazhai Hall.

The time for the visit was also coming soon, and just as Qiao Wei and I got up to leave, Shang Jiawen told us another piece of absolutely valuable information! She said that after her mistake caused a student to commit suicide last year, a woman in her 50s came to her house, asked her about the white python fairy, and warned her not to set herself on fire.

Qiao Wei frowned when he heard this, propped his hands on the table and leaned forward exaggeratedly and asked Jiawen: "Is that woman very tall, about 1.75 meters, with several studs on her ears, dressed in a special fashion?" ”

Shang Jiawen nodded again and again and said yes.

"Did she tell you anything else?" Qiao Wei asked again.

Shang Jiawen shook her head and said, "She only asked about the White Python Immortal and then left." ”

Shang Jiawen's answer obviously would not satisfy Qiao Wei, but the information itself was of great significance to Qiao Wei. Even if Qiao Wei doesn't say it, I can guess that the fifty-year-old hipster woman who went to find Shang Jiawen is Qiao Wei's mother, and her disappearance seems to be inseparable from the big-eyed white python fairy.

I don't know exactly how I can help in finding Qiao Wei's mother, but since I'm already involved and friends with Qiao Wei, there's no reason to let go. But at this moment, I didn't expect that my insistence would make the entire first half of 2013 full of all kinds of weird colors, and even almost gave away my life a few times!
