Chapter 38: Pacifying and Nurturing Adultery
"Hou is a villain in vain, he is really ashamed!"
Hou Changqi shook his head and smiled bitterly, arched his hand at the young man, and said: "I have heard that the strange people on the rivers and lakes act unexpectedly, and they are very different from ordinary people such as us. ”
Qi Jingzhi waved his hand absently and asked bluntly: "Anyway, what do you want me to do?" ”
Hearing this, Hou Changqi couldn't help but look stunned, but he heard Meng Fuzi on the side smile and said: "If you are courteous to others, you must ask for something, let alone a person like Lord Hou, whose eyes are above the top and whose temperament is as fierce as fire?" Jing Zhi is not a stingy person, if you have any difficulties, you may as well make it clear to him. ”
Hou Changqi nodded gratefully to Meng Fuzi, then looked at Qi Jingzhi, and said solemnly: "I can't hide it, Hou Mou's coy attitude is to get an understanding, and then ask Zun Jia for something." ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be curious. Hou Changqi is a county classic, I don't know for what rare things, he is willing to bow down in front of a young man in the mountains.
Qi Jingzhi was noncommittal, but he couldn't help but be interested: "Let's hear it." ”
Hou Changqi immediately said: "Hou is a person from the capital, and a letter was sent from home a month ago, saying that my young son had a heart attack and almost died. He also said that there are experts who point out that the dog's heart disease is not an ordinary disease, but is caused by a trace of evil qi entanglement brought by the womb, and it is necessary to burn the tiger pill and drink it to get rid of it. ”
Hearing this, Xiong Taifeng couldn't help but ask in surprise: "A month ago?" Then why did you stop the official and not report the matter of the tiger spirit to the county? If you can invite the Demon Suppression Captain to get rid of this evil, and you open your mouth to ask for it, at most it will cost some silver taels, wouldn't this Tiger Pill have already been obtained? ”
Using tiger pills to drive away evil qi and cure heart diseases, most of the people here heard about it for the first time, and they all looked novel.
Especially Wandutou, who was sitting at the head of Xiong and Hou, heard the two Shangguan talking about what Tiger Pill in public, and his expression was as strange as it was.
Qi Jingzhi was more concerned about the word evil, and couldn't help but look at Meng Fuzi, wanting to verify the truth from this resident ghost god.
Meng Fuzi was sitting precariously with his eyes not squinting, but his voice sounded in the young man's ears: "Don't be surprised, this is a small spell that transmits sound into the secret, and others can't hear it." This method that Hou Dianshi said does have some effect, and it is not that he came out to deceive you. ”
Qi Jing was stunned, retracted his gaze without a trace, and gently bowed his head imperceptibly.
Hou Changqi and the others subsided in novelty, and then they bowed their hands to Xiong Taifeng apologetically, explaining: "The old mother in the family loves her little grandson the most, and she doesn't think about tea and dinner all day long. In order to ease her heart, I mentioned the tiger spirit in my reply, saying that I must get the tiger pill as soon as possible. Who knew that the master who treated the child heard about it and wanted to pick it up himself. Hou didn't dare to disobey him, so he had to stop the county and not let the demon commander know. ”
Xiong Taifeng was a little annoyed: "I see, I thought Lord Hou was deliberately parting with the official...... How could that master be so domineering, in order to wait for him, he actually taught Nangang to have many more dead souls! ”
This Xiong County Commander is so indignant, he obviously has the intention of acting in front of everyone, if he really loves the people like a son, he will not be stopped by Hou Changqi, he will really do nothing, and let the tiger spirit do trouble.
Qi Jingzhi's eyebrows were really a little colder, if it weren't for Master Meng to attract Dong Mao, just because of Hou Changqi's selfishness and Xiong Taifeng's confusion and delay, I don't know how many lives would be killed!
He immediately sneered: "Bullshit master! If he wants to come, let him come, what else do you ask me to do? ”
Hou Changqi saw that the young man was angry, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Zunjia said that it was funny, the tiger spirit has died in your hands, who else can I ask you if I don't ask you?" Alas, in the end, it was all my thoughts. ”
At that moment, I saw this Hou Dianshi gritting his teeth, as if he had made a great determination: "Since the words have been said to this point, Hou will not hide it from you." The master...... In fact, it's not a person, it says it's coming, how dare I say no? ”
Xiong Taifeng was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth to ask another question.
Hou Changqi didn't mean to sell Guanzi, he took the first step to explain: "My father has been up and down for many years, and he has no other hobbies, so he likes to collect rare books, and he left a big house full of people before he left the West. The descendants of the younger generations are not good, and none of them like to read, so they sealed all those books and locked the house. ”
"Then one day, I happened to pass by in front of the door of the book house at night, and there was an old man who called me by my nickname, saying that I would not see the day for a long time, my body was damp, and there were maggots, so I must open the door in the coming day and take out the books in the house to dry."
The more everyone here listened, the more curious they became, and Jiao Yulang blurted out: "This must be a book spirit, and there are also people called book ghosts." ”
Everyone's eyes immediately looked at him, and even Meng Fuzi was surprised, and took a good look at this little baby who had been silent since entering the door.
"It's not unusual, but it's always a breeding ground for old libraries or places where the manuscripts of the sages are kept."
Jiao Yulang was a little proud, and said with a smile: "Because of the different books they come from, their acting concepts and skills are also different, and the good ones are generally called book spirits, and the evil ones are naturally book ghosts." Although it is called a ghost, it is actually a kind of spirit born in ancient books. ”
As soon as he said this, everyone understood.
Qi Jingzhi also nodded secretly, both the tiger and the soul can become essences, and the books and manuscripts are contaminated with the spiritual spirit of the person who writes, so it may not be impossible.
Meng Fuzi withdrew his gaze from Jiao Yulang, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, there was a scholar who threw a pen from Rong in the previous dynasty, his name is no longer examinable, but there are two lines of poetry that have been handed down. Shiyun, willing to bring an iron halberd to recruit a ghost, and Hugh orders to fill the artemisia with hatred. The spirit of the book ghost only needs to be suppressed with a big iron halberd contaminated with literary atmosphere, and it will not be troubled. ”
Hou Changqi's eyes widened suddenly, and his face showed remorse: "I see! In the library of my deceased father, there was indeed a large iron halberd, and before he died, he specifically told his juniors not to move it. Later, it was my mother who realized that the murder weapon was unknown, so she sent her servant to sell it. ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Since that night, that scholar ghost has gradually become familiar with my family, and he actually entered the house and regarded himself as Hou's uncle. Because it has done a lot for the family, everyone treats it as family. ”
"Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and he searched for the iron halberd in the house and couldn't find it, so he often asked my mother for it, and my mother said that it was sold, but it didn't believe it, but we hid it and didn't give it. At this time, as the days go by, it becomes fierce and fierce, and if it doesn't go well, it will beat and scold, and the whole family is afraid of obscenity, and dares to be angry but dare not speak. ”
"This time the child suddenly became ill, that is, it said that it could be cured by burning the tiger pill and swallowing it, and then heard about the tiger spirit, and even came to kill the tiger and take the pill in person, and said that the iron halberd must be given to it before it can be done."
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi was also concerned, and secretly said: "What happened to this Hou Dianshi's family is similar to what I met Lu Yunzi. The difference is that I have a bull ear sharp knife that has only killed people to hurt it, and a small bronze mirror that I don't know where to cover it, and the Hou family also has an iron halberd, but I sold it myself, so I really have nothing to say. ”
At that moment, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but speak: "I see that the book ghost killing the tiger pill is fake, and taking the opportunity to deceive your family's iron halberd is real, but I don't know that the iron halberd is really gone." But the more this is the case, the more the tiger spirit should be eliminated as soon as possible, so that the book ghost has no reason for the attack, how could Hou Dianshi stop the county from asking for help? ”
"Since it said that it would come in person, if things are not harmonious, no matter what the reason, it will anger my family!"
Hou Changqi smiled bitterly again: "My original mind was to find an old iron halberd with a similar style to perfunctory it, so that it can not only get rid of the tiger spirit, but also cure the child's disease, wouldn't it be two-pity?" I heard Meng Fuzi say just now that I need to be contaminated with a literary atmosphere, and I realized that I take it for granted, and I am afraid that ordinary iron halberds are useless. ”
Xiong Taifeng was a little indignant, and complained: "My brother is so pedantic, he should have handed a codex to the Demon Suppression Courtyard a long time ago to cut off this alien dove occupying the magpie's nest!" Why did he tolerate adultery and make the family uneasy? ”
Before Xiong Taifeng's words fell, Jiao Yulang actually snorted and laughed.
I heard this little baby say sarcastically: "The old man just said that he has done a lot of things for the family, and I think it's not that he can't get rid of it, but he can't help it!" Compared with these shortcomings and the benefits of outsiders, what is the gain of being beaten and scolded? Don't say that the iron halberd at home is gone, it's still there, hehe......"
