Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Foal and the Tiger
The next morning, the bad news that Zhao Banxian "hanged himself" came. Because of the "old friendship", Zhang Laocai still asked his two sons to hang their condolences there.
Zhang Zhenxing and Zhang Zhencun, who came back from mourning, told people another strange thing: three dead bodies were found in the miscellaneous woods north of Zhaojiazhuang Village. There was no skin trauma on his body, but pus was ulcerated all over his body.
One arm was dislocated, and one had both arms broken, and the cause of death could not be found out at all. And there was no trace of the scene.
Qi Xiaoting also told the news to the old man Mei who was recuperating. Old man Mei smiled: "I told you, the police are not that level. This is good, there are two homicides, there is no murderer, and a lot of trouble is saved! ”
Three days later, Old Man Mei was really able to walk on the ground. Qi Xiaoting hired a little donkey cart and personally sent him back to Xinjia Village.
Since then, Zhang Laocai's old mansion is no longer haunted, Zhang Laocai's wife has also improved, and the family has lived a happy and peaceful life again.
"Master Qi, tell me the truth: What has happened in my family in the past six months or so is it all caused by this Yin and Yang house?" One day, Zhang Laocai came to Qi Xiaoting's residence and asked with a serious face.
Qi Xiaoting nodded: "Like you, a lot has happened in ancient and modern times. This is called 'holding treasure', the tomb robber can see that your house has feng shui, it is a yin and yang house, guess how big the tomb is buried under the yang house, how many treasures are buried. Just try to buy it, and then dig the grave below.
"Who wants to sell a good house? So, they used 'haunting' to frighten them. Until the frightened family didn't dare to live, they obediently sold the house to them. ”
"It's really immoral! A good house to live in, and a feng shui treasure house, who wants to sell it! Zhang Laocai said indignantly.
Qi Xiaoting: "If you don't sell them, you will think of other ways." Buy a courtyard near this house, dig a tunnel under your house, and steal the treasure from the tomb. In order to avenge your hatred of not selling, some will blow up the tomb and destroy the yang house on the ground. Xuejiazhuang is a good example. ”
So, Qi Xiaoting carefully explained what happened to the old rich man Xue in Xuejiazhuang.
"Your situation here is exactly the same as that of Old Rich Master Xue, and it is also the work of the remnants of the gang who robbed the tomb. The dead Boss Zhu was Old Man Jing's subordinate, and he was ranked third in Old Man Jing, and people called him Zhu Lao San at that time.
After Old Man Jing was gone, his subordinates used his property to build a factory, and the old man Jing was rescued from his grandson and themselves.
"Zhu Laosan couldn't bear the hardships of work, so he ran out and did his old job again. has also developed into Nagisa Boss.
"Thirty years ago, it was also Zhao Banxian who saw the Yin and Yang Mansion in the mansion of the old rich man Xue. At that time, Zhao Banxian was not surnamed Zhao, but surnamed Zhao, Ruixue Zhao.
"They did a great job that time! In order not to expose himself, he changed his surname to Zhao and bought a house in Zhaojiazhuang to live in. In this way, people from other villages naturally regard him as a person from Zhaojiazhuang. In this way, his history is also ignored. ”
Zhang Laocai: "That's really what you said. Zhao Banxian has only come to Lujia Town in the past one or two years, and in teahouses and restaurants, he brags about his ability everywhere, tells fortunes for free, and looks at the Yin and Yang Mansion.
"That's how I met him. I also treat him as a good friend and ask him for advice on everything. It's horrible! If you hadn't seen through their deception, I would have been the fate of Old Rich Master Xue. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Actually, after I took over the story of Old Man Jing's granddaughter-in-law, I learned the inside story of the murder of Old Man Xue from the mouth of a subordinate under Old Man Jing who reformed his evil and returned to righteousness, and I thought of you." As a result, I really guessed correctly, it turned out to be Old Man Jing's subordinates who did it. ”
"Ahem!" Zhang Laocai sighed: "The ancients said 'Huaibi is guilty', and I and the old rich man Xue lived in the treasure house and caused disasters!" Peace is a blessing, and it is better to live in an ordinary house. ”
After experiencing this incident, Zhang Laocai was frightened, and he also saw through the world, and never mentioned moving back to the old mansion again.
Don't look at the fact that there was no Internet, no newspapers and magazines during this period, and the news was still spreading rapidly. Not long after, Qi Xiaoting Lu encountered a funeral coffin and saw blood to save the mother and son, made the ghost manifest on the haunted house, helped the man who had been separated for 30 years to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and collected ghosts in broad daylight...... Wait, on the way to Xuejiazhuang and some strange things she did in Xuejiazhuang, she was rumored in various villages.
At the same time, it was also spread that the magic "potion" in the hand-twisted gourd: no matter how serious the trauma, just wipe a little; How sick you are, just take a sip and it will work.
Qi Xiaoting's reputation has once again been greatly boosted, and there is an endless stream of people who come to see things and tell fortunes. Some even ran twenty or thirty miles just to see themselves, or to buy a twisted gourd potion.
Qi Xiaoting was very busy, although she still collected twenty yuan at a time, because she didn't consume, she also earned dozens of taels of silver!
The relationship between Qi Xiaoting and Long Yi is also growing rapidly: as long as Qi Xiaoting goes in and out of the space, Long Yi will definitely welcome and send out with a hug. Although it is still limited to the kissing stage, it makes two people feel very happy. Qi Xiaoting flashes into the space when she is free, and every night, she doesn't stay until she is sleepy and can't leave the space.
Long Yi loves Qi Xiaoting like he loves his own eyeballs, a person who is both a cook and a housekeeper, and never lets Qi Xiaoting do housework. As soon as Qi Xiaoting came out of the space, her eyes hooked on Qi Xiaoting's body, and she refused to leave for a moment.
Happy life, peaceful days, time flies very fast, and the Spring Festival has passed in a blink of an eye. The snow and ice have melted, the land has recovered, and it is time for farmers to prepare their crops and plan their planting for the year.
After nearly three months of practice, Qi Xiaoting has also learned a lot of folk magic. Seeing that the climate is getting warmer, I also plan to end my permanent life in Yujia Town, pack up and go on the road, and embark on a real journey of 108,000 miles to the east.
"You send paper cranes to Jiaona, after she comes, let's go!" Qi Xiaoting said to Long Yi.
Long Yi shook his head: "Don't worry, wait and see!" ”
Qi Xiaoting was puzzled and glared at him: "What?" Is the stable life here addicting you? Forgot about sending the Eight Dragons Altar to the tomb? ”
Ryuichi: "How can it! However, I always feel like there's still work to be done here. You think, every time you finish something meaningful, the black earth that dissolves expands outward by half a foot. Since it was expanded in Xuejiazhuang, there has been no movement at all. But you didn't do a lot of things in this paragraph! ”
Qi Xiaoting: "It's not qualified!" It's all a scattered matter of seeing a doctor and telling fortunes, there is no bloody human life and terrifying fierce gods, God Grandpa will not reward it! ”
Ryuichi: "How come there is no blood and horror?" Just because of Zhang Laocai's old mansion, four people died, and more than a hundred ghosts came out, isn't it terrifying? ”
Qi Xiaoting thought about it: through the help of Old Man Mei, she eliminated four villains, saved Zhang Laocai's old mansion, and saved the lives of Zhang Laocai's family.
In fact, with the cultivation of resting soil, there is already something to be wanted in the space. Resolving the slate is not very important to Qi Xiaoting.
The key is that it is important to Long Yi, and the stone slabs have been dissolved a lot, and the space environment has been improved, which is conducive to Long Yi's recovery of divine power.
Another is also a symbol that indicates the size of her credit: according to the return plan, Qi Xiaoting, as Long Yi's wife-to-be, must fight monsters and monsters along the way, accumulate yin virtue, and do good deeds.
The stone slabs in the space are dissolved by the corpses of monsters; The second is to resolve it by doing good deeds along the way and accumulating yin virtues. If the stone slab can't be resolved, she will send the Eight Dragons Altar to the Eight Dragons Tomb, and it will not be considered as completing the task.
Only by sending the Eight Dragons Altar to the Eight Dragons Tomb and dissolving the stone slabs in the space can it be considered a happy ending.
"Do you feel the need to wait?"
Qi Xiaoting will be skeptical. She felt that everything she had to do was in place, and God didn't reward her, which meant that this was what she should do, and there was no point in waiting.
It's better to look for opportunities to kill monsters on the road, do more good deeds, and strive to dissolve the slate ground! The return route is one-way, so take one step further!
"It's just thawed now, and it's still cold in the morning and evening. Wait, first, you will suffer a little less sin on the way! And then let's see what remains to be done! Long Yi said with concern.
Qi Xiaoting saw that what Long Yi said was reasonable, so she had to wait patiently.
After two days of peace, Qi Xiaoting still counts and watches things every day.
In the middle of the morning of the third day, Zhang Laocai hurriedly came to find him.
"Master Qi, I know you're busy, I'm sorry to disturb you. We really can't solve this matter, so we have to ask you. As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Laocai said anxiously.
"Uncle Zhang, sit down, talk slowly if you have something." Qi Xiaoting said and handed Zhang Laocai a stool.
Zhang Laocai: "Ahem, here's the thing......"
It turned out that Zhang Laocai's family was feeding a jujube red horse. The jujube red horse gave birth to a foal. After the ice and snow melted, Zhang Laocai's two grandsons had nothing to do, so they took the foal to the outside of the village to release it.
When the foal came into the field, he didn't take a bite of the grass, but ran straight to a broken kiln in the northeast corner of the village.
The dilapidated kiln was built in Zhang Laocai's land, which was used by his father to build a house and burn bricks and tiles when he was alive. It has been idle for a long time, and there is a dense reed grass growing around. Now they are all dry, but the reeds and grass are still standing upright. The foal stood in the leg-deep reeds and screamed "uh-huh" and "uh-huh" at the broken kiln, as if he was fighting with someone.
After a while, a tiger with an eye-catching eye emerged from the broken cave and fought with the foal in a menacing manner.
The foal did not show any weakness at all, jumping up and down and fighting fiercely with the Hanging Tiger.
When the little brothers saw the tiger and were worried about the foal, they were afraid to leave. He hid behind a large locust tree and watched the foal and the tiger fight.
They fought for a full hour, and there was no difference between victory and defeat. The foal was in a hurry, raised his neck and shouted, "Uh-huh", and the horse's mane exploded like a cluster of glittering swords.
Seeing this, the tiger was so frightened that he quickly retreated into the broken cave.
The brothers thought it was funny, so they brought the foal here every day to release it. The tiger also came out every day to fight with the foal. Every day the foal screamed with its neck raised, and as soon as the horse's mane exploded, the tiger fled back to the cave in fright.
Every time the horse's hair is fried, it grows a little longer. When it grew over its neck, the brothers cut it off for fear that the long mane would affect the foal's fighting.
Who knows, this came to the bottom of the foal.
