The old lady, surnamed Tian, lived by the market in Fenghua County, and her husband died young, leaving only a small residence and a son.

His son, Tian Sangen, served as a soldier in Anshen City and could only return home once every two months. In addition to her, there is also a daughter-in-law Ruqiu living in the house. Ruqiu has been pregnant for seven months, and because her health is not very good, she spends most of her time in bed to recuperate, and her source of income is supported by Tian Sangen's monthly money. Although the family is mediocre, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along harmoniously, and they have a good life.

Seeing that she would be able to hug her grandson soon, Mrs. Tian naturally cared more about her daughter-in-law, and would do some manual work to sell in the market in her free time, hoping to make Ruqiu eat better. But what she didn't expect was that there was a sudden change in her family half a month ago.

First of all, it was just a sound - in the dead of night, there would be a strange sound of da, da, da, sometimes like on the roof beam, sometimes like in front of the windowsill, and even occasionally from the two of them, startling the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into a cold sweat.

After that, the situation gradually became serious, the crockpots and rice bowls would be broken inexplicably, the window paper would be drilled holes, and the sound would begin to affect reality little by little.

Even if the two lit candles all over the house, they couldn't stop the vision.

Tian's wife already needs to be recuperated, and the whole person is haggard after being tossed like this, not only has she lost a lot of weight, but her mental state has become more and more unstable.

It's not that Mrs. Tian hasn't thought of a way, such as moving out to live for a while. However, the family is not well-off, and neither renting nor inn can last too long.

She also went to a nearby temple to buy sacred water and exorcism talismans, but the strange sound was still there, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to people.

In desperation, she begged Zhao Dahai.

When he first arrived in Fenghua County, Zhao Dahai dealt with the "supernatural problem" several times under the banner of subduing demons, and he could be regarded as a little famous-of course, in Xia Fan's eyes, most of those supernatural phenomena were just the conjectures or heart diseases of the villagers, and the so-called fame was at most the degree to which the neighbors in the street would mention it when chatting. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tian not only heard it, but also memorized it, so that she found Zhao Dahai when she was helpless.

At that time, the master had already gotten rid of the predicament of arrears, so he naturally responded with it. It's a pity that this time he couldn't succeed, and after a few "demon subduions", he couldn't make the strange sound disappear, so he could only close the door. But Mrs. Tian obviously didn't give up, she just thought that Zhao Daochang didn't use all her strength, and came to the door every day or two to beg for a while, until Xia Fan returned to Fenghua County, there was an opening scene.

Zhao Daochang said that if even his apprentice couldn't solve it, it was impossible for a second person in the entire Fenghua County to solve it. The old lady looked at Xia Fan with blank eyes, "Xiaodao Chang...... Little Immortal Master, please save my family!"

I really found a good master. Xia Fan rolled his eyes silently, he was not looking for something to do for himself, but purely shirking responsibility. I don't want to think about it, all the things that my apprentice has learned come from the master, and the master can't handle the evil, can his apprentice still become it?

Wait a minute...... It seems to be really possible. If there is a thunderclap directly in the house, no matter what evil things are hidden, it is estimated that it will be wiped out. The problem is that if such a thunderbolt strikes, it is estimated that half of the old man's house will be destroyed.

It doesn't work.

But refuse...... To be honest, Xia Fan couldn't give up his heart.

The old lady Zhao in front of her is almost in her fifties, her hair is gray, and judging from her face full of wrinkles and sun marks, she knows that she has suffered a lot in her life. For her, being able to see her children and grandchildren fall to the ground is probably the greatest comfort in this life, so she did everything to fall down in front of a young man who was less than a third of her age.

If it is miscarried, the frail and sickly Tian wife is estimated to be more than lucky, and even if this family is still there, it will definitely be broken and no longer the original.

Xia Fan has been taught to help others since he was a child, but his ability to help others was limited in the past, and helping others stayed at most at the level of collecting money and giving directions to strangers, but now that he has the ability to save people's lives, it is difficult for him to pretend to turn a blind eye.

While thinking, Xia Fan's gaze suddenly stayed in the shadow of the inner room.

By the way, isn't there a personal disciple of the Privy Council Qingjian here?

If you let her go to the scene to take a look, maybe she can find some clues!

The fox demon is injured and can't do it, but that's not the key, the key is to find a way to deal with it, and things like doing it can be done by him.

Xia Fan thought about it for a while and found that this idea was unexpectedly feasible.

First of all, from the news I heard from Mrs. Tian, it can be seen that the "weirdness" in her family is not some fierce demon, otherwise the master would not have failed to go to the second or third time at all - if the opponent was a little more dangerous, he would have run away long ago.

Secondly, the control of the county town is not as strict as that of the big city, there is neither a curfew nor a night patrol, and the risk of exposure to the fox demon is very low.

The only question is whether Le is willing to get involved in the matter.

But when it comes to the ability to persuade, Xia Fan thinks he is completely sure.

"I can give it a try, but there are a few conditions that have to be made clear in advance. ”

"The trail leader said, as long as I can do it-"

"You will be able to do what I mentioned. He interrupted, "First, I can't leave anyone in the house when I do this, you can only wait outside; second, don't publicize this matter, I don't want others to know that it has something to do with me; third, there is no guarantee of the outcome, there are so many things that I can only say I can do my best." ”

"I know, I know......" the old lady nodded repeatedly.

And the fourth point ...... I need a set of your daughter-in-law's clothes, loose. Xia Fan said slowly, "The hat and the coat are also matched, and I will pay for it." ”

"You don't have to pay for it! But ...... What does the little Taoist want to do with this?"

"Just in case the night gets worse. ”

......

After Mrs. Tian left, Li poked her head out of the back room, "Who told you that I agreed to help her? I'm a demon, she's a human." I don't have any reason to help an unrelated human, any more than a human can't help a demon. ”

is worthy of being a fox demon, he didn't say anything, and the other party already knew his intentions.

Li's tone was quite unhappy, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Xia Fan's self-asserted behavior, "Let's say okay first, I promise to cooperate with you, it doesn't mean that I will listen to you in everything." We are not subordinate, and cooperation should be fully negotiated before making a decision-"

"You're right, but after all, it's a matter of life, and I didn't have a chance to discuss it with you just now. Xia Fan soothed in a gentle tone, "As for the first point you said, I think it's biased. ”

"Biased? It's okay if people don't shout at demons, shout and kill. ”

"Have I helped you?" Xia Fan asked rhetorically.

"Yes. ”

"Am I human?"

Li was stuck, "This, you're different......"

"Then if you don't help her, it's okay to help me, right?" he took advantage of the situation, "The other party is not a member of the Privy Council, and he has no direct stake in the demon, so there will be no bad consequences if you help me." Didn't you just talk about the classification of evil spirits? You should think of it as a live teaching. ”
