Chapter 37: Mud Work (Ask for Collections and Recommendations)
After a while, the man brought a few side dishes, scalded half a pot of wine, and placed them on the table.
Chen Fusheng raised his chopsticks and tasted a few bites, and felt that Cai Genji's business could be so good, and a few special dishes really deserved their reputation.
The hot wine is also the old Huaijing wine of the famous Baoqi Town, Chen Fusheng drank half a glass, and felt that it was pure and continuous, and it was indeed a good wine. It's just a little stamina, and you can't be greedy.
While he was drinking, he listened intently to the conversation around him, and then raised his eyes to look at the wolfing dog, and couldn't help but smile:
"Did you eat well?"
The Howling Dog shook his head and said vaguely with a mouthful of oil:
"Master, I loved to eat raw meat when I was alive, and I was not used to eating these cooked foods. Now that he is a corpse, he naturally eats and vomits, and can only be pretentious, so as not to arouse suspicion. ”
Chen Fusheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling that this dog demon had died once, and he had actually grown.
The Howling Dog was smeared with a thick layer of powder to hide the pale, colorless face. I put on a little makeup, although I still have a fierce look, but I am indeed no different from ordinary people.
Among the ten major factions in the cultivation world, the three factions of Changmen, Hunters, and Thieves are the best at camouflage and disguise, and even have their own unique ways.
Chen Fusheng didn't say much, and continued to listen to the conversations of the customers of the wine shop.
Teahouses, liquor stores and other places in the world are also the easiest places to inquire about news.
After a while, Chen Fusheng's ears suddenly pricked up, and he finally heard what he wanted to hear the most.
A few tables away, on the seats, sat two well-dressed outsiders. At first glance, he is a squire with a lot of wealth, and the wine and food on the table in front of him are also rich.
A middle-aged man with a round face and big ears looks kind. Another middle-aged man had a bitter face, frowned, and whispered about what happened to him.
“...... Qiu didn't want to bother Brother Zhang to listen to my nagging many times, but he was really depressed in his heart and couldn't tell him...... Alas, I haven't been home to sleep for more than ten days, and every time I think about it, I'm terrified. ”
Brother Zhang, who had a round face and big ears, asked in a low voice:
"What did you find after you reported to the police that night?"
Qiu Yuanwai, who had a sad face, shook his head:
"I didn't find anything, but I was reprimanded by those officials, saying that I lied about the murder and was careful of my own lawsuit...... Alas, this is strange and bloody, and it is indeed only I have seen it, and there is really nowhere to reason......"
Brother Zhang cautiously whispered again:
"Again, I have a friend who knows how to exorcise evil spirits. When I returned, I told him about you and begged him to do a service for your house. ”
Qiu Yuanwai also lowered his voice:
"Then thank you Brother Zhang for your righteousness! I couldn't tell me clearly before this matter, so I should have been more detailed, so that Brother Zhang could take the talk for me......"
The two talked and whispered the cause of the incident.
Chen Fusheng listened intently while sipping a little wine.
After a while, Chen Fusheng also roughly understood what happened.
"It's kind of interesting. Nine times out of ten, it has something to do with ghosts......"
Chen Fusheng nodded secretly.
It turned out that this Qiu Yuanwai was a big businessman in Xuwuzhou City. Just because of the early death of his wife, he left most of his family wealth to his descendants, and returned to his hometown in Baoqi Town alone to spend his old age alone.
Wine, wealth, etc., Qiu Yuan does not love it, but he has a hobby of pinching clay people when he is young. Since returning to his hometown to live alone, he has been enjoying himself every day, pinching clay people and chatting as a pastime.
For more than a year, there were many hand-made clay figurines in the storeroom of the family. Qiu Yuanwai sometimes couldn't sleep, so he picked up the lamp to appreciate the decoration, which became a habit.
Suddenly, one day, Qiu Yuanwai got up again at night as usual, lit the lamp and went into the warehouse to ponder the newly pinched clay figurines.
Unexpectedly, I encountered a terrible and terrible thing!
The dolls that were originally fabricated in mud turned into bloody corpse remains. In the entire warehouse, the blood was filled and miserable!
At that time, Qiu Yuanwai was so frightened that he hurriedly fled back to the bedroom and slept with his head covered.
“...... Alas, Brother Zhang didn't know. I drank some alcohol that day, thinking it was a hallucination from being drunk, so I just wanted to take a good nap......"
"Who knows...... What I saw was not an illusion, but a reality!"
Qiu Yuanwai's tone trembled, swallowed his saliva hard, and whispered in a trembling voice:
"Even with my head covered and my eyes closed, I could still see...... At the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, it was crowded with clay figures with severed hands and severed heads. They wailed and cried, saying that the clay figurines I had broken by mistake had been abandoned, so they had come to vent their hatred and ask for their lives!"
Brother Zhang also shuddered when he heard this, and asked in a low voice with fear:
"How can there be a reason in the world for clay figurines to become living people, let alone ...... severed hands and heads."
"yes, I thought so......"
Qiu Yuanwai swallowed his saliva and said:
"I was already scared and woke up early in the morning...... Wake up...... What do you see when I see it? Blood all over the ground, real blood, severed hands and fingers, hair, eyeballs......"
"Oops!!" Brother Zhang trembled with fright.
"It's all true...... It's all true......" Qiu Yuanwai's face turned pale, and he lowered his voice even more, "I...... How dare I report to the official, how can I say this innocently? I had to grit my teeth and dig a pit and bury it all ......cleanly."
"From that day on, I locked the storeroom and never dared to pinch the clay figurines again. ”
"After this incident, it was indeed calm, and there was nothing terrible. Then I thought, am I mistaken?"
Qiu Yuanwai said this, his expression was decadent, "It's also me who should be damned, my hands are cheap!" I still couldn't help it, and secretly opened the warehouse to check ......."
"Look, what do you see......" Brother Zhang couldn't help but ask.
"It was a fine day, everything was fine. The clay figurines in the storehouse are all mud, not living people. I thought, "Isn't it really wrong?"
"Seeing that things have passed, there is no danger. I was itchy for a moment, so I started to pinch the clay figurines again to entertain myself...... More than 10 days ago, I went into the storehouse with the lamp again, and I saw a house full of severed hands and stumps, and blood everywhere......"
Qiu Yuanwai said, his head was almost buried in the table, and he trembled and said:
"I was so scared that I peed my pants on the spot and ran out in a hurry...... If you dare to go back to your room to sleep, you muster up the courage and go to report to the official......"
"But after the official arrived, the treasury was normal again, the mud man was still a mud man, and there was no bloody ......"
"After some reprimand, I went back to my room and went to sleep...... When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw a large group of living people with severed hands and heads, covered in blood, wailing and crying in front of the bed, asking me to pay for my life......
"You say, Brother Zhang, this, how can you stand this!"
Qiu Yuanwai said, he was about to cry, and said in a hoarse voice:
"That night I fainted again, and when I got up early in the morning, there was blood all over the place...... But luckily, there are no fingers, eyeballs or anything like that......"
"Blood is real blood! It's not false! I washed my bedroom with water, and from then on I didn't dare to go home, and stayed overnight in the inn every day......
Brother Zhang listened, kept inhaling cool air, and then whispered:
"Are you never going home? That's not the way to go......"
Qiu Yuanwai cried and said dumbly:
"I can't go back to my home! Brother Zhang, if you were me, would you dare to go back?"
"Don't dare!" Brother Zhang shook his head with concern.
"Alas...... How can this be good!" Qiu Yuanwai wrinkled his face bitterly and sighed.
Brother Zhang was relieved, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the hexagram behind Chen Fusheng, and couldn't help reminding:
"Brother Qiu, why don't you go and calculate a hexagram first?"
Qiu Yuanwai raised his eyes and looked at the hexagram flag, sighed dejectedly, shook his head and said:
"I've counted it many times...... Besides, this little Taoist priest has no hair on his mouth, how many catties and taels can he have? At first glance, he is a swaggering and deceitful person!"
"Now there are a lot of inexplicable Taoist monks and monks in Baoqi Town, I don't think there is a good person......"
Chen Fusheng was sitting opposite the roaring dog eating vegetables, his ears and eyes were still sharp, and when he heard this, he suddenly looked fierce, raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice:
"The plagued thing, dare to scold my master......"
The voice did not fall.
Chen Fusheng stared at it and signaled to be restless.
The Howling Dog immediately bowed his head and swallowed the breath back.
Brother Zhang over there, after listening to Qiu Yuanwai's complaints, was silent, so he had to nod and say:
"Then when I go back, ask my friend and ask him to go to your house to do a ritual and see if he can solve the matter. ”
"Thank you, Brother Zhang! If this matter can be resolved, I will be very grateful!" Qiu Yuanwai hurriedly persuaded him to drink, his words full of anticipation.
Chen Fusheng quietly listened to Qiu and Zhang's narration, and he didn't move, just ate and drank food by himself, ignoring it.
After a while, Qiu and Zhang had no intention of staying for a long time and checked out and left the store.
"Dude, check out!"
Chen Fusheng patted the table, leaving half a silver tael.
Then he carried the hexagram banner iron sword, took the roaring dog, and followed Qiu Yuanwai.
Walk around a corner in the middle of nowhere.
Chen Fusheng quickened his pace, and he had already come to Qiu Yuanwai, and Shi Li said:
"Outside Qiu Yuan, the little Taoist priest is polite. I'll send you a hexagram, would you like to hear it?"
"Huh?"
Qiu Yuanwai only felt a flower in front of him, and suddenly there was a green-shirted Taoist priest, and he couldn't help but be frightened. After seeing it clearly, he immediately said angrily:
"Who are you, and why do you know my last name?"
Chen Fusheng smiled and said:
"Not only do I know your last name, but I also know that you have clay figurines in your house. ”
Qiu Yuanwai was immediately surprised, his face turned pale, he took a step back, and said in a trembling voice:
"What do you want to do?"
Chen Fusheng still smiled:
"I'll do a fortune for you, and I won't take any money. If it works, you will listen to me. If it doesn't work, I'll turn around and leave, and I won't say more. How?"
