Chapter Thirty-Four: The Tragic Death Is Strange
It turned out that Lao Zhou's original name was Zhou Zhong, and he was Xuanbao's grandfather, that is, the right-hand man of Lao Ding'anhou.
Twenty-five years ago, the old Ding'an Hou died violently, and Zhou Zhong also disappeared the next day, some people say that he abandoned the Xiao family and ran away, and some people say that he loyally followed the old master and committed suicide.
In short, the things about Lao Zhou back then were also vigorous, because he was not just a subordinate, the old marquis once said that he had explained all his things to Zhou Zhong.
But because Zhou Zhong is gone, whether the throne is inherited by the eldest Xiao Yuan or the second Xiao Liao can be described as twists and turns. After the dust settled, the parties did not say a word, and Hou Fufa bought a large number of subordinates.
In fact, Zhou Zhong didn't run, let alone follow the old marquis.
What happened that night, even if Lao Zhou was already a ghost general at this moment, he couldn't help but tremble when he recalled it, it was a terrifying nightmare, and he was trapped in it for more than 20 years.
He watched as seven long nails about half a foot long were driven into his limbs, chest, and abdomen, and when the last nail was driven into his head, he could even hear the sound of his skull shattering.
Zhou Zhong died, and after his death, his body was still chained, and he sank in the depths of the lake in the Hou Mansion until today.
"Bone Erosion Soul Locking Technique!" Xuan Bao sighed slowly.
Xuan Bao finally understood why Lao Zhou's expression was particularly terrifying and angry, and the torture he suffered before his death would also be reflected in the appearance of the ghost.
"Miss Seven, have you heard of this evil art?" Zhou Zhong's hoarse voice was mixed with a hint of joy, "Finally someone understands." ”
Xuan Bao nodded, in fact, she also knew a little about it, but while Zhou Zhong was elaborating, the old Taoist master had already explained it to her.
"It seems that there is something strange about Grandfather's death, and you are the key person, this kind of evil art is quite vicious, it should be said that the person who committed the poison tried to use such means to make you his puppet ghost."
"Puppeteer? Who has such a great ability to control ghosts, and besides, I don't have any abnormalities after I die? ”
"Hehe, the people in the Xuanmen have this ability, but it belongs to the crooked and evil way, and the righteous people will not use it." Xuan Bao looked at Zhou Zhong and knew in his heart, "You are a kind and good person, you shouldn't have suffered this catastrophe, and your resentment is so deep that your Taoism will improve rapidly, and you will become a ghost general in twenty-five years." ”
"It's not that I don't want to be reincarnated, it's because I can't reincarnate at all, I've been trapped here." Zhou Zhong was very confused.
"People have three souls and six spirits, and one of your souls is still locked at the bottom of the lake on the corpse, and you can't untie it." A flash of inspiration flashed in Xuanbao's mind, "Don't be impatient, the people behind you spend time and effort to raise you into a ghost general, I don't believe that there is no plan." ”
Lao Zhou couldn't help but be scared when he thought about it, he thought he was already very strong, and when Miss Seven said this, he suddenly felt that he was a puppet, with both hands behind his back.
"More than 20 years have passed, and there is no hurry for this time." Xuan Bao remembered the matter of the West Cross Courtyard, "By the way, Lao Zhou, do you know anything about the second room?" ”
Speaking of the second room, Lao Zhou couldn't help but shake his head again and again: "The old marquis was blind at the beginning, so he let the second master marry Fang Rongru, the femme fatale. ”
Xuan Bao's eyes flashed, listening to the tone of Fang Rongru's doing, Lao Zhou knew, these secret things must have happened in the West Cross Courtyard, so this ghost general knew far more than he imagined.
"A group of ghosts surround the West Cross Courtyard, but they can't get in, she still has a magic weapon on her, Xiaojuan and Yun Niang, these two powerful ghosts can't get close, you should be able to be bigger than them, right?"
"Miss Seven doesn't have to take my words." Zhou Zhong looked at Xuanbao's eccentric appearance, and his voice couldn't help but smile, "If you want to know something, just ask." ”
"After I died, I couldn't go there, I could only wander in the mansion, at that time there were not so many unjust souls in the mansion, and there was no enchantment in the West Cross Courtyard."
"Fang Rongru shouldn't have the ability to lay down an enchantment, right?"
"More than ten years ago, because the West Cross Courtyard was haunted, Fang Rongru invited the monks of Tianlong Temple, and the enchantment was laid by him."
Hearing this, Xuan Bao was stunned, did the enchantment laid by the old monk master of the fifth uncle mean that the old monk was Fang Rongru's reliance?
"Impossible, the old monk is not that kind of person, I estimate that he must have been deceived to help Fang Rongru." In his mind, the old Taoist master lazily mentioned.
That's good, Xuan Bao breathed a sigh of relief, although he hadn't seen the old monk, but intuitively the little doll knew that the other party must be difficult to deal with, at least not by himself.
"The ghosts around the West Cross Courtyard, each of them is related to the second room, seeing that they have done so many hurtful things, I have also thought about taking action against that poisonous woman." Lao Zhou said frankly and bluntly.
Xuan Bao reacted immediately: "I didn't succeed because she had a magic weapon to ward off evil spirits?" ”
"Yes." Lao Zhou lowered his head in shame, "I didn't even see what it was, so I couldn't get close to her at all." ”
"I'll take care of that." Xuan Bao patted his chest.
"I'll leave everything to you." Zhou Zhong looked at the little doll and sighed, "That's all it takes, what do you need me to do, just ask." ”
"Well, if you think of something rare, just tell me, and maybe I'll find something out of it."
When the words fell, Xuan Bao pulled out the willow whip, and frightened Lao Zhou swooped back two feet to the door.
"Xiaojuan, Yun Niang, you tell Lao Zhou, what's the benefit of being whipped by me."
I was too lazy to say that Xuan Bao directly released the two powerful ghosts, and there was no need to explain too much, just to see that the anger on the two of them was almost completely gone, and there was a faint golden light, and they actually had merit.
"Lao Zhou, Miss Seven's willow whip can beat away the anger and purify our ghosts, as long as the anger is cleared, as long as you are dedicated to goodness, you can still accumulate merit, and you can also have a good birth in the future and live a good life in the next life." Xiaojuan looked yearning.
"Reincarnation? Can we be reincarnated? Lao Zhou was very puzzled.
Yun Niang said: "Miss Seven said that it is okay, I believe her." ”
Lao Zhou was silent for a moment and then took the initiative to walk towards Xuanbao, after the tea, the little doll rubbed some sore hands, Lao Zhou suddenly reborn and restored to the appearance before death, looking like a loyal and honest uncle of forty or fifty years old.
"Okay, Uncle Zhou, since you can enter and exit the West Cross Courtyard freely, then I will wronged you to keep an eye on the second room for the time being."
Dongxue's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Mama Ying, you are here." ”
"What about Miss Seven? You dead girl is not waiting in front of you, why did you come outside the door? ”
Dongxue glanced at the two doors, thinking that she was speaking so loudly, Miss Seven should be able to hear it.
"Inside. Wait a minute, Mama, and I'll go in and report it. ”
"Why don't you invite Mama Ying in." Xuan Bao said loudly inside.
