Lao Sun was curious, "Then where are we going to catch ghosts now?" Do you want to go to Yizhuang? If you can't get in, the door is locked. If you want to go in, you either have to go to the fifteenth day of the first month to make offerings, or you have a body sent over by the government office. ”

"Pan Da is menacing, where did he go?" Yu Qingfeng was curious.

"The boss must have gone to find the Diao gang leader." Da Linzi answered first.

"What gang?" Yu Qingfeng asked.

Lao Sun replied: "Beggar gang." ”

Yu Qingfeng laughed dryly, is this Linfu County actually a martial arts drama routine? There's also a gang of beggars.

Out of curiosity and the need to solve the case, Yu Qingfeng proposed: "Let's go and have a look." ”

Da Linzi and Lao Sun looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.

"What did Pan Dangjia say? You're just watching over me, I'm going to be in charge of catching ghosts. You don't cooperate with the directions, I can't understand the origin of this hungry ghost, how to prescribe the right medicine, oh no, catch the ghost with the right symptoms? ”

Yu Qingfeng must first determine a premise, that is, if you want to catch a ghost, you must figure out what the origin and identity of this ghost is.

Hearing Yu Qingfeng's words, the two of them suddenly opened their mouths and led the way obediently.

Yu Qingfeng secretly rejoiced that these two people were really easy to fool.

Pan Dacai was in a terrible mood, originally Yu Qingfeng wanted to follow directly, but Da Linzi and Lao Sun stopped him, saying that Pan Dacai was going to hit a wall again, according to past experience, don't watch at this time, otherwise Pan Dacai's anger in the beggar gang will be transferred to the bystanders.

On the way, Yu Qingfeng asked Da Linzi and Lao Sun about the origin of the hungry ghosts in Yizhuang. But these two people tacitly understood it, and you introduced Yu Qingfeng to the origin of the beggar gang in Linfu County.

After hearing this, Yu Qingfeng realized that it turned out that people were not answering the question.

Two years ago, before the haunting of Yizhuang, there were many beggars in Linfu County, but although they were large-scale but not organized, they were all scattered small groups, and they were still fighting with each other for territory.

Two years ago, Yizhuang was shocked to find a mangled corpse, which attracted Yao Zhixian of Linfu County to the scene.

The government officials personally inspected and found out that this mutilated corpse had traces of being eaten by animals, and it belonged to Wang Qianqian, who had just been transported from the government to Yizhuang two days ago, and it was the freshest corpse in this Yizhuang.

This Wang Wan is a medicine shop guy, who fell to his death when he followed Lang Zhong up the mountain to collect medicine, and died in an accident, and the case is clear.

Yao Zhixian concluded that it must have been the beasts in the mountains that ran to Yizhuang and stole the freshest corpses. Because it is impossible for a man to eat a man, it must be an animal.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, but a servant named Jiang Yunhe of the county government suddenly lost his voice and shouted, saying that it is not necessarily animals that eat people, but also ghosts, ghosts that starve to death.

This Jiang Yunhe is the official who is responsible for supervising Yizhuang and counting the entry and exit of corpses.

He said that a year ago, that is, three years ago, a beggar named Bai Yisheng starved to death on the streets, and his body was sent to Yizhuang, which he personally registered.

But after three days, when Jiang Yunhe planned to send the corpses that he had saved enough to bury collectively, he couldn't find Bai Yisheng's body. He looked through the records, and there was indeed no record of other colleagues handling Bai Yisheng's body.

Bai Yisheng's body was in and out, and disappeared in Yizhuang.

Bai Yisheng was a starving ghost, and when he was sent in, he was very impressed, so thin that he had only a handful of bones left, and his death was terrifying, which made him very afraid.

That night, out of fear and compassion, he offered a steamed bun next to Bai Yisheng's corpse.

But when he went to Yizhuang to transfer the body three days later, not only Bai Yisheng's body was gone, but also the steamed buns!

The surrounding onlookers began to whisper, saying that Bai Yisheng, who had starved to death, had become a hungry ghost, and now he was still in control of his body and urgently needed to eat, so he ate corpses.

There are also people who mentioned that this Jiang Yunhe's son has just been admitted to the Jinshi this year, maybe it is because of the steamed bun that he worshipped, the hungry ghost repaid his kindness, and blessed the son of the benefactor in the dark.

Yaozhi County did not allow the people to spread rumors, but they did not dare to deal with Jiang Yunhe, the initiator of the rumors. After all, the people's conjectures are based on Jiang Yunhe's narrative.

A month later, Jiang Yunhe's son became a petty official in the capital, and the couple followed their son to move to the capital.

Two months later, the whole of Linfu County was shrouded in the legend of hungry ghosts.

There is a layman monk who said that there is a doorway and a process here:

At the beginning, Bai Yisheng was unwilling to starve to death, and became a ghost with grudges, and after the soul and body were separated, he was unwilling to accept the fact that he was starved to death, and only thought about eating enough, and the soul returned to the body and came back to life.

So in order to avoid the body being buried, and never to be found again, and the dust to the dust to the dust, he stole his own body to protect it.

Where did you flee to? Nature is the place of the most shaded. As far as the lay monks know, the nearby Mae Shan Valley is the nearest place to the Yin.

Then, Bai Yisheng's soul has been guarding the yin place of Meishan, his resentment is nourished by the yin qi, getting heavier and heavier, and becoming an evil spirit, which can be temporarily possessed on his body on the fifteenth day of the first month of the month.

Next, in order to completely return to the body and cultivate into evil, Bai Yisheng's ghost needs to absorb human nutrition, in short, it is not okay to eat animals in the mountains, he has to eat people.

Bai Yisheng should still retain a trace of humanity and don't want to eat living people, so he aimed at the unclaimed and buried corpses in Yizhuang.

There is also resentment on the corpse, and Bai Yisheng's cannibalism is also a process of resentment accumulation. As long as he has eaten enough of seventy-seven and forty-nine corpses and accumulated forty-nine points of resentment, he will change from a hungry ghost to a evil spirit.

What happens when you become evil? That is naturally the revenge of injustice, and the revenge of revenge.

Bai Yisheng was a beggar who starved to death in Linfu County in a peaceful and prosperous era.

The so-called Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, and his hatred and jealousy are directed at Zhumen, which is the rich and noble family of those who eat delicacies from the mountains and seas all day long, and would rather waste food than help hungry beggars who can't eat.

As soon as this rumor came out, the rich and noble families in Linfu County were anxious, didn't this clearly say that they were rich and unkind?

The first to be angry was Pan Dacai, who directly called a few guys in the restaurant and beat up this vulgar monk who spread rumors. He also threatened that even if he threw the leftovers from the restaurant to feed the cattle or threw them into the river, he would not give the beggars a grain of rice.

On the third day of wounding the monk, Pan Dacai's baby sister Pan Xiaoying's appetite deteriorated, and she vomited and diarrhea.

Less than ten days later, the young owner of Hu's rice shop, the largest rice shop in Linfu County, the nineteen-year-old Hu Xiyan, the eldest landlord in Linfu County, and the sixteen-year-old Shan Yuyuan, who was the largest landlord in Linfu County, fell ill one after another, with the same symptoms as Pan Xiaoying, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea.

The Langzhong people in Linfu County got busy, taking turns to see the three families, and it seemed that there was only one conclusion, that is, they all ate unclean things, ate some detoxifying herbs, and after a while of cultivation, they would be relieved and healed.

At this time, the rumors in Linfu County became even more rampant. Bai Yisheng, a hungry ghost, had not eaten enough of forty-nine corpses, and before he became evil, he had already begun to take revenge. It is estimated that he was angered by the beating of the single family and the vulgar monks, so he planned to turn the precious offspring of these three families into corpses and eat them.

Do you listen to Lang Zhong and let your own heart and liver baby recuperate at home, or do you want to find another way? Three wealthy families questioned Langzhong, are you sure? If a loved one has three strengths and two weaknesses, can they be held responsible?

Frightened, the Lang Zhong people collectively changed their caliber again, saying that they were not sure and that their medical skills were not good, so they asked them to ask for another master.

There is indeed a miracle doctor in Linfu County, who can be called brilliant. This person's name is Xue Yintian, who was nicknamed Xue Shenyi, who once saved two pregnant women with postpartum hemorrhage, and was invited by Yao Zhixian to treat his sick son.

Now this Doctor Xue has become the personal doctor of Yao Zhi County's family, living in Yao Zhi County's house, and has long been closed to the public.

The three families came to the mansion of Yao Zhixian one after another and asked Doctor Xue to go and treat the three young ladies of the son.

After all, Yao Zhixian is a parent official, so he can't stop it, and besides, Doctor Xue himself is willing.

So Xue Yintian went to three households, and finally came to the conclusion that there was only one sentence: He Xue Shen couldn't cure this disease, and all Langzhong couldn't cure it. Otherwise, it's inconvenient to say more.

When leaving, Xue Yintian also deliberately said to Pan Dacai: You have to be especially careful.

Sure enough, Pan Xiaoying fell into a coma that night. Is this worth it? He hurriedly contacted the other two heads of the family and said that this matter must be solved quickly, otherwise the children of your two families will also have this consequence sooner or later.

The injured monk was still recuperating in the burrow, and people from the Pan, Hu, and Shan families came to the door.

It was another gift and an apology, and the heads of the three families wept bitterly in front of the lay monks, and finally attracted the compassion of the former monks.

The monk also said that in the long run, in order to prevent the hungry ghosts from becoming evil, they will kill all directions; From the immediate point of view, in order to let the illness of the three young ladies recover quickly, especially the most dangerous Pan Xiaoying, there is only one solution - to worship hungry ghosts.

Pan Dacai was almost scared to pee, according to the monk who returned to the world, hungry ghosts only eat people, do you want them to kill people and use corpses as offerings?

The vulgar monk directly laughed at Pan Dacai's stupidity, saying that offering corpses, isn't that helping hungry ghosts become evil? The sacrifice they had to make was to suppress the hungry ghost's grudges, not to help him take revenge.

The Hu Dan family was busy asking how to suppress the offerings.

The monk said: Bai Yisheng is a beggar, he didn't have food to live when he was alive, and he will definitely not be willing to continue to be a humble beggar when he dies, relying on the charity of you rich and noble families.

If you want Bai Yisheng, a hungry ghost, not to eat corpses, you have to let him taste food that he has never enjoyed in his life.

But this food cannot come directly from your hands, it has to go through a process of transformation.

The best way is for you to give food to Bai Yisheng's companions, that is, beggars, and then they will come forward and take the begging food to Yizhuang to worship Bai Yisheng on the fifteenth day of the new year, so that it is possible to dispel Bai Yisheng's resentment.

The monk said that this was just a solution he could come up with, and he was not sure that it would work.

And there is another difficulty, that is, the beggars in Linfu County have a long-standing grudge with them, who are rich and unkind, and they will not easily cooperate with help.

What's more, if you go to Yizhuang to worship, it is very likely that Bai Yisheng will be regarded as a traitor, angry, hurt, and directly turned into a corpse and eaten, the risk is too great, and these beggars may not be willing.
