Chapter 9: Three Lives
"It can't be someone sent by King Huai, right? Deliberately pretending to be a village girl? One of the guards spoke.
"Lord Shizi, why don't you take off your mask, I think that girl is right, your mask looks a little evil." Pei Junqi said with a smile.
Qi Chengshuo ignored him, he turned his head to look at Zhang Cuiyun and Xu Lanxiang not far away.
"Who are you? Do you know that little girl? How far is it from Danhua Mountain? ”
Zhang Cuiyun and Xu Lanxiang didn't say anything when they heard this.
"Pei Junqi, give the silver." Qi Chengshuo opened his mouth in a low voice.
Zhang Cuiyun, who got ten taels of silver, smiled and narrowed his eyes, and hurriedly spoke: "We are all from Weiyang County, I am a matchmaker, and I specialize in matchmaking for the dead, this is my old sister Xu Xiangu, who is very good at catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits. ”
Qi Chengshuo and the others almost scolded their mother when they heard this.
What a bad luck!
Why are the people I met today so evil?
Only then did a little girl tell them fortunes, and there was a ghost matchmaker and a goddess.
Could it be that ghosts and monsters are rampant in this area of Weiyang County?
Shouldn't the imperial court invite the occultists of Taiyi to take a trip?
"As for the girl just now, she is from Qingya Village at the foot of Danhua Mountain, which is ten miles away from Danhua Mountain, Qingya Village is backed by Danhua Mountain, it is not early, and several masters just went to settle down there." Zhang Cuiyun said with a smile when he said this: "I don't know if there are any other masters to ask?" ”
"Let's go." Qi Chengshuo didn't say much, and left with Pei Junqi and others.
As for Jiang Xianya's statement that his face had a problem, he didn't take it to heart at all.
This mask has an extraordinary origin, it was given by his grandfather before leaving, his grandfather was worried that he would be in danger on this trip, so he hid his identity, and specially went to Huangjue Temple to ask for it, this is a bronze mask forged in the temple and opened by a monk, how can it be unknown?
"Old sister, we should really get rich today." Zhang Cuiyun touched the silver ingot in his hand and smiled from ear to ear: "What about ten taels of silver per person, before in Qingya Village, we didn't make much effort, and we got all the silver we deserved...... We're all gone. ”
Hearing this, Xu Lanxiang put the ten taels of silver in her hand into her arms, and said to the coachman: "Catch up with the ox cart in front." ”
Jiang Xianya really has a problem, a little girl, how can she suddenly pinch it?
Either you have adventures, or you have excellent luck, and you are born to be a person who is through the mysteries.
Such a girl should be her apprentice and use her luck to support her master, so that she can truly embark on the path of practicing occult arts.
Of course, Jiang Xianya knew that Xu Lanxiang's heart was not right.
Before she left, she saw the bloody aura on Xu Lanxiang's face, what does this mean?
Xu Lanxiang has killed people!
That bloody aura still wanted to get close to Jiang Xianya, which meant that Xu Lanxiang's next target was her.
Of course, Jiang Xianya has to strike first.
Sitting on the ox cart, she piled the pile of pebbles that He Guangcai picked up together, put her hands on the pebbles, and slowly sealed.
If it were night, you would have noticed a faint glow blooming on her.
It wasn't long before the pebbles were stained with some silver glow.
Jiang Xianya threw pebbles backwards at a very fast speed, and in just a few moments, the pebbles were thrown by her to the position where they were needed.
A smile appeared on Jiang Xianya's face.
Let that half-hung Xu Xiangu who wants to beat her mind eat the consequences!
It didn't take long for Xu Lanxiang and Zhang Cuiyun to find that the carriage they were riding in had been circling in the small mountain pass.
"Old sister, have we encountered a ghost hitting the wall?" Zhang Cuiyun grabbed Xu Lanxiang's sleeve tightly: "I don't have the ability to deal with it, so it's up to you." ”
As everyone knows, in Xu Lanxiang's eyes, the small mountain col at this time is full of ghosts, more than she has encountered over the years.
Most of the time, she was pretending to be a ghost, she didn't have much real ability at all, she was so frightened that her legs trembled, and under Zhang Cuiyun's urging, she raised the peachwood sword and the five emperor money in her hand, and jumped out of the carriage and rushed over.
In the eyes of Zhang Cuiyun and the coachman, Xu Lanxiang slashed at the air, and her mouth was still vibrant, and it didn't take long for her to collapse to the ground, crying and howling, which frightened Zhang Cuiyun and them.
Zhang Cuiyun gritted her teeth and took out the talisman paper that Xu Lanxiang had sold her before, got out of the carriage, and ran towards Xu Lanxiang.
"It's useless, these runes are fake." Xu Lanxiang suddenly said: "Take me to catch up with that little girl of the Jiang family, I want to take her as an apprentice, use magic to take away her luck, and assist me in cultivating mystical arts, these ghosts, I can't help it." ”
Xu Lanxiang suddenly covered her mouth after speaking, she didn't want to say these words at all, but she couldn't help it, as if she was being controlled.
At this moment, she noticed that the ghosts had dissipated.
Xu Lanxiang was shocked.
This...... What the hell is going on?
Zhang Cuiyun was shocked by her words, and only said after a while: "You...... You want to steal people's luck, this is evil magic, you ...... The two disciples before you died unexpectedly, did you do it? My Xiuyue...... Did you kill you? ”
Xu Lanxiang wanted to deny it, but her body was uncontrollable, and she nodded and said, "Yes." ”
When Zhang Cuiyun heard this, he pulled off the hairpin on his head and stabbed it into Xu Lanxiang's heart.
She is a ghost matchmaker, this is a livelihood handed down from her ancestors, because of her perennial dealings with the dead, the women of their family are not easy to marry, even if she marries, the heirs are very difficult, she married for ten years before giving birth to the eldest daughter, and was later taken by Xu Lanxiang and accepted as a disciple.
Her daughter Xiuyue was only six years old that year, and she became Xu Lanxiang's third apprentice, Zhang Cuiyun was very happy, she often went to Xu Lanxiang to visit her daughter, and they became old sisters, but her daughter died of illness two years ago, and her daughter was only eight years old that year.
Although she still has a young son, she has been sad for a long time because of the death of her daughter.
She never doubted Xu Lanxiang, but she didn't expect this woman who was called a fairy aunt to be so vicious.
That's three lives.
When the hairpin was about to stab Xu Lanxiang, Zhang Cuiyun stopped.
She's going to report to the police.
Murder pays for life, she can't pay for her life because of this vicious woman.
Zhang Cuiyun stuffed all the money he got today to the coachman.
Although this carriage was hired by Xu Lanxiang, the coachman and Xu Lanxiang are not familiar with each other, so of course they depend on the money.
"Master Li, you also heard it, what bullshit Xu Xiangu, she is a murderer, I will take her to the county government to report to the official." After Zhang Cuiyun finished speaking, he went to the carriage to find a rope and tied Xu Lanxiang up.
Strange to say, they didn't continue to spin around the col this time, and it didn't take long for them to leave the area.
……
At the same time, Qi Chengshuo and others riding fast horses also arrived at Qingya Village.
