Chapter 25: Origins
He Lingjiang slightly tilted his head to signal, and He Zheng showed the token on his waist.
It turned out to be really He Qi Niangzi!
The two men were startled, and their hearts were both surprised and happy.
Regarding the seven ladies of the He family, they only heard of his name, but they had never had the opportunity to meet a real person. Unexpectedly, today He Qi Niangzi actually took the initiative to come to them and asked them about the haunting of Hu Si's house.
I don't know what luck Hu Si went, with He Qiniang going, what else is there to worry about in his family?
The two led He Lingjiang and the others through the streets and alleys to an alley in the west of the city.
This alley is called Osmanthus Lane, named after a plant of osmanthus planted at the mouth of the alley, and most of the people who live in it are ordinary people like peddlers and pawns.
He Lingjiang followed the two men all the way, and soon stopped in front of a house.
Looking at the onlookers crowded in front of the door, she didn't need the two to speak, she knew that this should be the Hu family.
"I heard that Hu Sijia has been haunted for the past two days, is this to find a master to exorcise ghosts?" He Lingjiang asked the people beside him.
The man glanced back at her, and his eyes couldn't help but show a little surprise: "The little lady is not from our Osmanthus Lane, right?" β
He Lingjiang nodded: "No." β
Catching a glimpse of the escort following behind her, the man didn't ask much, and replied to her previous question: "Hu Si did find a Taoist leader, but it doesn't seem that there is any major movement in this courtyard, and there is no abnormal noise, and I don't know if the Taoist chief has caught the evil spirit......
He Ling Jiang was clear.
He Zheng stepped forward to line up the people who were surrounded by water, and then revealed the people standing in the courtyard.
A man of about thirty was talking to a robed warlock with a peachwood sword on his back and a burned-out talisman on the ground around him.
It looks like a spell has been cast.
Although Hu Si was anxious in his heart, he still forced himself to suppress it, and respectfully bowed his hand to the warlock: "Dao Chief, I don't know if the evil in the family has been expelled yet?" β
When the warlock heard this, he frowned: "Is there really an evil ghost in your house?" β
He had just carefully inspected the haunted house and all over the courtyard, and had cast a spell to make the evil manifest, but he had come down this circle and found nothing.
Regardless of whether this evil can be driven away or not, if that evil is really in this Hu Si family, it is not difficult for him to use magic to make it manifest.
But just now he has used a variety of methods, and this so-called evil has no movement, and everything is as usual.
He couldn't help but suspect that what Hu Si said was true.
You must know that there are also many people who are so afraid of evil and ghostly things that they are suspicious in their lives, and they have nothing to do, but they want to say that they have hit a ghost.
The suspicion in his eyes was not concealed, and Hu Si naturally saw it clearly.
"Does the Taoist not believe what I said earlier? I have seen these voices and strange things not only to myself, but also to my wife at home. If the Taoist still doesn't believe it, just ask her to verify it. β
The warlock shook his head, the husband and wife did tell him about the strange appearance in this courtyard from the beginning, and he also thought that there was an evil spirit, so he followed.
But now, he really didn't notice anything wrong.
He looked at Hu Si's expression, the anxiety and fear did not seem to be fake, the warlock thought for a while, and said, "Wait until the evening to try again." β
"Didn't you say that you could hear the bell all these days and nights? I stayed here to see if the evil spirit would appear in the night. β
Hu Si breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for the chief." β
Because of this, the wives and children at home have also been frightened a lot in the past two days, and they have no place to go in Yingdu, and they have been trembling when they sleep these two days.
If there is a Taoist chief tonight, Xu Neng will expel the evil spirit, and the family will be able to sleep peacefully in the future.
I have to wait until night to see it, and the neighbors who are watching see that there is nothing to see now, so they disperse and go home, and He Lingjiang and the others, who are still standing still, are particularly conspicuous.
Hu Si couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a few people, and then saw two acquaintances standing next to He Lingjiang, so he asked, "Why did you come here?" β
"Didn't you say that there was evil in your house? Let's take a look, no, did you bring a master here? The man who had told the story before turned his head and motioned for him to look at He Lingjiang.
That's it?
Did these two come to see their own fun, or did they come to make fun of him?
Hu Si frowned slightly: "Thank you for your kindness." But you should have seen it too, and I have already asked the Taoist chief. By the end of the day, it will be done. I won't invite you in and sit down today, but I'll invite you to drink another day. β
As he spoke, he prepared to close the wooden door.
"Heyβ" The storyteller hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him, "I'm afraid you don't know who this little lady is, do you?" β
"Who?" Hu Si thought to himself, he was just a little lady from a rich and noble family, and he didn't know how to hear about this evil thing from him and come to join in the fun.
The man leaned into his ear and said softly: "It's He Lingjiang, the seventh lady of the He family, the ...... we heard about in the teahouse."
Seeing that he seemed to be unconvinced, the man hurriedly said, "It's true, I won't lie to you about this." What's more, there is a token of the real He Mansion on the person. In their family, who dares to pretend to be He Qi Niangzi? β
"She said she was going to come to your house to exorcise ghosts."
He Lingjiang took a few steps forward and said with a light smile: "I wonder if I can go in and have a look?" β
Hu Si was stunned, really?
The man next to him tugged at his sleeve, he immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly turned sideways and said, "He Qi Niangzi, please." β
The warlock in the courtyard also followed: "He Qi Niangzi? β
He Ling Jiang bowed: "Yes." β
The warlock was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and made a Taoist salute to her.
He Lingjiang also returned the salute, and then asked, "The Daoist didn't get anything?" β
The warlock nodded: "He Qi Niangzi is here, but that evil is very difficult?" β
Otherwise, he would not have been able to cast a spell but still couldn't make the evil manifest, you must know that although he is a folk warlock, he is not as good as those who are from the orthodox Xuanmen, but his ability is not to fool people.
The evil is not obvious, either that Hu Si thinks too much and talks nonsense, or that evil is not something he can easily deal with.
He looked at He Lingjiang in front of him, and his guess in his heart became more and more biased towards the latter.
As soon as his words fell, Hu Si couldn't help but change color.
He Lingjiang was a little helpless in her heart, she shook her head and said, "You misunderstood." It's just an ordinary little ghost, but you don't need to be like a big enemy. β
"Then you ......" The warlock wanted to speak and stopped, if it was really an ordinary evil, was it necessary for He Qi Niangzi to come to the door on purpose?
He Lingjiang sighed helplessly: "I have some relationship with that little ghost......
The little ghost had been lost, forgetting that she was alive and dead, and her golden bell was just right to slowly evoke the ghost's memories and suppress its ghostly nature and prevent it from hurting anyone.
He Lingjiang thought that after the little ghost regained his memory, he should go anywhere, but now that she looks, she has a deep obsession in her heart.
