Chapter 27: Ghost Hunting

Let's say that the snake girl went back to the snake cave and met the snake woman, saying: "There is a demon soul attached to Zhou Hai's body. Zhou Hai originally did a lot of evil, and coupled with the possession of evil spirits, he was even more arrogant and domineering, mutilating human lives. That day, I met Zhou Hai who was eating people, and I fought with him in the middle of the block, but I didn't have to win or lose with him, except him. What should I do? ”

The snake woman said, "This demon is like a piece of dog skin plaster, and it can be resurrected from the dead. It's hard for us to get rid of it. ”

The snake girl hurriedly asked, "What should I do, do you just see him do whatever he wants?" ”

The snake woman said, "Don't worry, let me think." This demon belongs to the jurisdiction of the Demon Realm, and the host of the Demon Realm is the Heavenly Master, and the Heavenly Master can cure it. The Heavenly Master is more familiar with me, and I wrote a letter to him, and you took it with you, and said that it was about eliminating demons. Otherwise he won't see you. ”

Snake Sister asked, "Where is the headquarters of the Demon Realm?" ”

The snake woman said: "It is located on Xincheng Mountain." ”

The snake girl also asked, "Do you want to bring silver?" ”

The snake woman said, "I almost forgot to tell you about such an important matter. You must bring silver, fifty taels. Without silver, the Heavenly Master would not have taken the job. ”

The snake sister nodded in agreement from her words, and said, "Okay, I'll go." So the snake woman took up a pen and wrote a letter. The snake sister took this letter and sixty taels of silver, of which ten were entangled and dotted on the road. After carrying it, go to Xincheng Mountain.

The headquarters of the Demon Realm, which is mainly an important department for the management of devils, is established on the top of Xincheng Mountain. The snake girl climbed the stone stairs of nine hundred and ninety-nine steps before reaching the entrance of the headquarters of the Demon Realm. I saw that the clouds were shrouded in mist, surprisingly quiet, and there was not a single bird call; The courtyard is magnificent, the palace is strict, and there are hanging cards everywhere. Look down as if you're in the clouds. There are two priests at the door and other Shinto guards.

When the snake sister saw the pavilion, she introduced herself, said that she wanted to see the heavenly master, and gave one or two pieces of silver. The pavilion took it, checked it in his hand, and saw that the snake sister was a female streamer, and it was not easy to climb up, and there was a tip, so there was no embarrassment for the snake sister. One of the cabinet ministers entered the chamber and opened the door. After waiting for about an hour, the snake sister was impatient, but the snake girl still insisted on waiting patiently.

The cabinet master came out and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Because the Heavenly Master is busy, it's hard to disturb. It's only now that I'm done, and I'm able to report it. The Heavenly Master promised to summon you, please come with me. ”

The snake girl thanked her and said, "It's really hard for you!" "Then follow the pavilion and enter the great hall.

The gods came out with the Heavenly Master, and after that, they lined up on both sides. The Heavenly Master sat on a tiger skin chair in the lotus tent, looking serene, face down, looking down at the snake girl. Next to the seat of the Celestial Master, there is also a golden seal, a sword, displayed on the armrest.

The snake girl crouched under the eaves and presented a letter to a young Taoist priest next to her. The Taoist priest took it and handed it to the seat. The Heavenly Master read it carefully, shook his eyebrows, muttered for a long time, and whispered to another elderly Taoist priest standing next to him. Due to the distance and the fact that the Heavenly Master spoke very lightly, the snake girl didn't know what to say, and it seemed that she was discussing with the elderly Taoist.

After discussing for a while, the Heavenly Master asked, "Have you brought any silver?" The snake girl replied, "Bring it." Then he presented fifty taels of silver, which was still handed over by the young Taoist priest. The Heavenly Master received it and transferred it to the old Taoist priest next to him. That is, he paid a piece of paper to the snake sister, and instructed the Taoist who went to Taiyuan Ziguang Temple to ask the Taoist there to do it. The snake girl bowed her head and thanked her. At the door, ask the Ming Pavilion where the purple view is and where to go. The cabinet clerk enthusiastically and patiently explained them one by one, without any ambiguity. The snake sister bowed down to the Si Ge again. Then I looked at the purple light all the way.

The snake girl didn't rest, hurried slowly, and came to the Purple Light Temple. This view is much inferior to the headquarters of the Demon Realm. The gate was opened, and there was no gatekeeper. The snake girl went straight in, and in the atrium, under a poplar tree, she met a Taoist chief, with a long white beard, dragging to the chest, a cloth towel and short clothes, and a lofty spirit. The snake girl said what she wanted, and then showed the letter of the Heavenly Master.

The Taoist chief opened his eyes, smiled unconsciously, and complained: "The Heavenly Master sells favors, and he has to make tens of thousands of dollars, but he has never given me half a tattoo." But it is ridiculous to hand over the matter of killing and killing to annoying us. When he said this, he seemed to be half-joking. The snake girl understood, and took out three taels of silver to the Taoist chief, and the Taoist chief also took it and put it in his pocket.

Call the little Taoist priest, take out a small wooden basin, and pour half a basin of cold water into it. Take a copper mirror slightly smaller than the mouth of the basin, with the mirror side facing up and the back side down, and cover it on the small wooden basin. He took out the pen and ink, dipped the pen in the ink, and painted the mirror several times. After a while, the water in the basin boiled, and the water boiled like soup, and there was a stream of hot air, wisps and wisps, floating into the air. Suddenly, the heat began to slowly decrease, and the water in the basin dispersed very quickly, and then the basin was close to drying up, without a trickle.

The Taoist chief was about to say, "The devil has been removed!" Before he could finish speaking, the basin suddenly flew and flew to the Dao Chief, as if someone had deliberately thrown it violently. It hit the head of the Dao Chief, and immediately blood flowed. In an instant, the Taoist chief fell to the ground and died.

Seeing this, the snake girl was taken aback. Retreat away from the purple light view and return to see the snake woman. When the snake woman heard this, she was also surprised.

The snake woman said, "I really met a master. It seems that this demon has escalated and has escaped from the supervision of the devil. ”

The snake girl asked what to do. The snake woman hesitated for a moment, looked at the snake girl, and said something amazing. As for what to say, I won't show it for the time being, and I'll look at the text one by one.

It is said that the wealth of the Zhou family has aroused the concern of the thieves, and the thieves will never forget, just like a blind man beating his wife - holding on, and as the saying goes: "If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves." ”

Li Jue failed to rob Zhou Hai on the road last time, and he couldn't take revenge, so he was unwilling and angry, so he sent the little boss Dou Fu to secretly collect gold silk and befriend Ge Yi, the head of the Zhou Mansion, as an internal response.

Ge Yi came to report and said: "Zhou Hai has become a demon, and he is magical, so he can't act rashly." However, Zhou Hai has arrived in Rongzhou today, and only Meng Chao and others are in the house. ”

When Li Jue heard this, he consulted with his two younger brothers and said: "Zhou Hai is the richest man in Hezhou Prefecture, and his food, clothing, use, and housing are really luxurious, with countless gold and silver. Now Ge Yi told him that Zhou Hai has arrived in Rongzhou, and the defense in the mansion is not strict, so why not take advantage of the situation to take the Zhou mansion? ”

Li Zhang and Li Wen both applauded.

Li Jue wrote a letter and made an appointment. He also sent Dou Fu to write to Ge Yi. Who knew that in the middle of the road, he was captured by Meng Chao and handed it over to Zhang Cui.

took out the letter, read it, and knew that Ge Yi was a traitor. Zhang Cui was furious and handed over Ge Yi and Dou Fu to the government for questioning.

Hearing that the matter was exposed, Li Jue led people to sneak into the Zhou Mansion in the middle of the night, wanting to steal. was discovered in time by the night patrol of the Zhou Mansion, and sounded the gong and drum, shouting: "There are bandits, come out quickly and catch the bandits." ”

Meng Chao led everyone to resist left and right, so that they could not succeed. Li Jue and the others hurriedly fled back to the mountain.

At this time, Zhou Hai happened to come back with Zhang Xiong and summoned Meng Chao and others to discuss.

Meng Chao said: "This time is lucky, fortunately, the number of bandits is small. If there are more bandits, we may suffer a big loss. It shows that the force is weak, and it is necessary to recruit some family members and form a security team to compete with bandits. ”

Zhou Hai said: "Of course. The people we recruit can be both homemakers and partners, and they are dual-purpose talents. Not only to be physically strong, but also to be able to run business.

Meng Chao asked, "Why?" ”

Zhou Hai said: "In this way, I can help the business when I have nothing to do on weekdays; Once it is discovered, it can be armed to defend against external enemies, such as bandit infestation, to maintain the safety of the Zhou Mansion. ”

Meng Chao said: "This is a very good idea. ”

Zhou Hai said: "Take it seriously, don't be sloppy." There should be requirements for recruiters, such as age, height, appearance, family background, culture, morality, etc., and no one can be recruited. In addition, it is necessary to arrange a special person to handle this matter."

Meng Chaoran said.

Since Zhou Hai returned to Hezhou, his mind was full of She Nuan's shadow.

Only then did he realize that he was fascinated by She Nuan. There are no more than two kinds of women in the world, and men have completely different views of them.

The first is just a beautiful face, white and beautiful, but simple-minded, in the eyes of men, it is a vase, an embroidered pillow, but a plaything.

The second type is that they are both talented and beautiful, have wisdom in their minds, have a smooth and delicate appearance, are both beautiful, shrewd and capable, and can assist men in their careers.

She Nuan certainly falls into the latter category.

Originally, I only thought that she just knew etiquette, and Zhou Hai didn't have to worry about receiving guests. Now after a period of contact, it seems that not only that, but she has good facial features, no fault in appearance, not to mention the appearance of a prosperous husband, and knows how to do business, and knows how to save money. Even if She Nuan is allowed to preside over housekeeping and assist in business, there is not much of a problem. If you can marry home, you can not only avoid worries, but also be able to hold a baby at any time, often sit with her and eat food, and feel its beauty and wisdom every day, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Thinking of this, Zhou Hai became more and more determined, and he had to marry She Nuan. The family encircled and suppressed the bandits, and it was necessary to recruit personnel, and after making proper arrangements for Meng Chao, he and Zhang Xiong went to Rongzhou again.

Zhou Hai arranged for Zhang Xiong: "You go to ask the matchmaker to go to She Nuan's house, and ask this teahouse owner Huo Yin to come forward, I want to marry She Nuan home." ”

Zhang Xiong's face was embarrassed: "Mrs., how can you explain?" ”

"This ......" mentioned his wife Zhang Cui, and Zhou Hai hesitated.

Yes, in the past, Zhou Hai had long wanted to marry a third wife and four concubines, but Zhang Cui did not agree, and even threatened to hang himself. Zhang Cui was mainly worried about the family wealth being taken away, and said: "You can play as much as you want outside, but you can't marry the goblins home." Zhang Cui said this, Zhou Hai hesitated, but after thinking about it, a woman like She Nuan is really rare. If he misses it, there will be no second woman who makes Zhou Hai so tempted.

After thinking about it, Zhou Hai made up his mind, no matter what, he had to marry She Nuan home.

Zhou Hai pondered for a while, and said slowly: "You go and do it, don't worry so much about it first." ”

Zhang Xiong understands Zhou Hai's temper, and for the things he has determined in his heart, the nine cows can't pull it back. immediately went to Huo Yin to negotiate, and asked him to come forward to talk to the matchmaker and propose to the She family.

Huo Yin couldn't ask for it, and he was overjoyed. Because he knew that Zhou Hai was a rich businessman, with a lot of money and generous hands, if he said that this family business was done, he would definitely get no less money from Xie Media.

Thinking of this, Huo Yin came to She's house in a hurry. When he saw She Nuan's mother, Cai Xin, he said that Zhou Hai proposed marriage.

Cai Xin said: "I am such a baby daughter, her marriage, let her be the master, she can't let her be wronged, you must ask her daughter's opinion, see if you are willing?"

So, Cai Xin called She Nuan out of the room and asked him face-to-face.

She Nuan said: "If you want me to marry Boss Zhou, you can, but there is one condition, you must marry Mingmei." I want to have the reputation of righteousness and brightness, and if I want to marry, I will be the main house, otherwise I will not marry him. ”

She stubbornly put down these words, first made this request, and without mentioning anything else, she went back to the boudoir.

Huo Yin came back and told him.

This surprised Zhou Hai, and his heart was half cold. In fact, Zhou Hai thought about it, and the request made by She Nuan, who was staying in the boudoir, was really not too much.

However, this request seems to be easy, but for Zhou Hai, it seems to be difficult. If you agree, the premise is that Zhang Cui must be put on leave.

Thinking of Hugh's original wife Zhang Cui, I am afraid that there are also many resistances. As far as Zhang Cui is concerned, people are very kind, very good to Zhou Hai, and abide by women's morals.

Over the years, I have lived with Zhou Hai, both poor and rich. Although he is not good at socializing, there is nothing wrong with it. Even if there is no merit, there is hard work, which can be regarded as a friend of a poor couple in distress.

If you have money now, you will abandon your original wife, like the new and hate the old, you will be regarded as Chen Shimei, and leave a bad reputation, what will others talk about in officialdom and shopping malls in the future?

Because of this, do you give up She Nuan? No, never, that is reluctant, really reluctant, Zhou Hai 10,000 reluctant.

Zhou Hai even decided that in the future, she Nuan will definitely be an excellent helper for his career development in the second half of his body. In addition to husband and wife, how many are trustworthy in the world?

Therefore, marrying She Nuan is not only related to finding a bosom friend, but also maintaining the rapid development of his career.

Thinking of this, her determination to marry She Nuanbai became firmer.

According to Zhou Hai's arrangement, Meng Chao sent Zhou Yun, Hou Jing, and Jiao Yun to form a recruitment team, which was mainly responsible for recruiting Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun asked Jiao Yun to write a recruitment notice. Jiao Yi was written quickly.

It reads: "There is a Zhou merchant group, recruiting a hundred men." It is required to be physically strong and free of any diseases. Those who know martial arts, know how to do business, are under the age of 50, and are above the talent level are preferred. Sign up at the gate of Zhoufu on the same day, participate in the assessment, and only after passing can you be hired. ”

Notices were posted on the walls of the streets and alleys in the city. This post led to an important person.
