Chapter Eighty-Three: Haunted

"This is the family master Luo Daoren, the elder of the Spring and Autumn Temple, and he is sinking. Shen Luo didn't have the same knowledge as a porter, so he reported to his home.

"It turned out to be Luo Xianchang, Shen Xianchang. The middle-aged man saluted again.

"You are Ma Simo who wrote to the Spring and Autumn Temple, what is the relationship between you and Ma Xingming?" Luo Daoren turned his head and asked.

"Ma Xingming is his great-grandfather. Ma Simo was swept away by Luo Daoren's gaze, and his whole body was excited, and he replied honestly.

"Is there a genealogy?" asked the Rodoman again.

"Yes, Daoist, please see. Ma Simo seemed to be ready for a long time, took out a book with a black silk cover from his arms, and handed it over.

Shen Luo hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, holding it in both hands and sending it to Luo Daoren.

Luo Daoren grabbed the book with one hand, just flipped through it casually, and then threw the family tree back to Shen Luo.

"Ma Xingming had studied art in the Spring and Autumn Concept, although he did not have any achievements, but he made a contribution to this view, so he was given a token in the view, and now it is confirmed that you are Ma Xingming's descendant, according to the rules of my Spring and Autumn View, you have a chance to ask for help from the Spring and Autumn View. Luo Daoren turned around and said.

"Thank you, Chief. Ma Simo was overjoyed, and then respectfully invited the two to enter the house.

Walking into the gate, the scenery in front suddenly opens up, it is a square courtyard of acres and size, and in the middle is a two-zhang wide bluestone road, leading to the magnificent main hall inside.

On the left side of the bluestone road is a flower garden full of flowers and trees, and on the right is a pond with several water lofts connected to each other by a trestle bridge, in which a layer of turquoise lotus leaves floats and a few pink lotus flowers dot it.

There is also a side courtyard on the left and right sides of the courtyard, where there are also many houses, pavilions and pavilions, but through the courtyard wall, it is not clear to see.

A few people walked through the courtyard to the main hall and sat down, where two young and beautiful maids brought tea.

"Ma Jushi, in your letter to Benguan, you only vaguely mentioned that there was a ghost in the house, what kind of ghost is it? Has anyone ever seen it with his own eyes?" Luo Daoren took a sip of tea, and asked straight to the point.

The old man who was keeping watch at night saw it, and it was said that it was a female ghost in red, but he didn't see it really, and fainted on the spot, and fell ill the next day, and he hasn't been able to get out of bed yet. After that, several black dogs raised by the family died one after another, and when they died, they all bled from seven holes...... There are also some places in my house that inexplicably have a puddle of fishy and smelly water every morning, sometimes in the front hall, sometimes in the backyard, and once directly in my bedroom. Ma Simo said as he wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead with his sleeve robe, and his face was a little pale.

Shen Luo stood aside, listening to Ma Simo say strange things, while looking around, he felt more and more that this luxuriously decorated mansion had an indescribable gloom.

"At the moment, although only a few dogs have died, and no one has been killed, who knows what will happen in a few days. Luo Xianchang, I am willing to give a hundred taels of gold to the Spring and Autumn Temple, and I implore the Taoist to subdue demons and eliminate ghosts and save my Ma family. The more Ma Simo spoke, the more frightened he became, and in the end, his voice trembled a little, and he got up and arched his hand.

"Ma Jushi is polite, if there are really ghosts to harm, Poor Dao will naturally not stand idly by. A hint of satisfaction flashed in Luo Daoren's eyes, but he said lightly.

Ma Simo thanked him again and again, and his emotions calmed down a little.

"Based on what Ma Jushi said, it is not possible to tell what kind of ghost it is, the bedridden nurse can be in the mansion? Luo Daoren pondered for a moment and said again.

"This ...... It's really unfortunate that Lao Wang was recuperating in the house, but yesterday his family was not at ease and came to take him back to the countryside. Ma Simo wiped the sweat on his face and said with some hesitation.

"Oh, it's okay, Ma Jushi said that there will be an extra puddle of fishy water stains in the house every night, and something can be seen from this object, I wonder if there was such a water stain in the house last night?" Luo Daoren asked again.

"Yes, yes, it appeared in the backyard, but it smelled so bad that I had asked someone to clean it and wash it off. Ma Simo lowered his head and said awkwardly.

"Are those dead black dogs still there, didn't you dispose of them?" Luo Daoren was speechless, paused for a moment and then continued to ask.

"The black dog is here!" Ma Simo immediately raised his head and said happily.

Luo Daoren also breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and asked Ma Simo to take him over.

A moment later.

In a room in the backyard where sundries were stored, Luo Daoren was half-squatting on the ground, looking at the three dead black dogs, and Shen Luo was standing behind Luo Daoren.

Ma Simo was scared, stayed outside and didn't dare to come in.

The dog had been dead for a long time, its body was deflated, the blood flowing from the seven orifices had been dried up, and its distorted face could be seen to be full of extreme horror, as if it had seen something very terrible.

Shen Luo's eyelids twitched when he saw the death of the three black dogs, and the long-haired ghost thing he encountered in the dream mountain village involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Luo Daoren's hand touched a black dog, then pointed to the center of his eyebrows, and after a moment withdrew his finger.

"Master Luo, these black dogs are dying in a weird way, how did they die?" Shen Luo saw him stop and stepped forward and asked softly.

"Seven-hole bleeding is a manifestation of being sucked out of essence and dying, ordinary ghosts have this ability, don't make a fuss. Luo Daoren said disapprehantly.

When Shen Luo heard this, he secretly felt relieved in his heart, and Master Luo was sure that it was good.

Luo Daoren seemed to have understood what he wanted to know, and he didn't pay any attention to these dead dogs, turned around and walked out of the backyard, and Shen Luo hurriedly followed.

"Luo Xianchang, what have you found?" Outside the courtyard, Ma Simo greeted him and asked.

"Everything is under control, but we still need to confirm it again, and I am tired of Ma Jushi taking us around the mansion. Luo Daoren said.

Ma Simo naturally would not refuse, and personally took the two of them around the Ma Mansion at the moment.

Shen Luo knew that Luo Daoren was looking for the hiding place of the ghost, and followed behind to pay attention to it.

But the two of them found the main gate compound from the backyard, and then to the left and right side courtyards, and searched the entire mansion, but found nothing.

"It shouldn't be...... "Luo Daoren frowned and muttered to himself.

"Master Luo, could that ghost thing come from outside, it's daytime now, and it's already gone. Shen Luo guessed.

"No, the entire Mafu is surrounded by yin qi, and the ghost thing is definitely hidden here, it seems that it is very hidden and not easy to find. Luo Daoren shook his head and said.

"Immortal Luo Chief, but you can't find that ghost thing? The mages invited a few times ago are also like this, what can I do. Ma Simo was frustrated.

"Don't worry about Ma Jushi, it's just a ghost trick, I have my own way to make it appear. Luo Daoren was slightly swept away and snorted coldly.

He immediately instructed Ma Simo to prepare incense and candles, confess to the case, and asked for some yellow paper and cinnabar.

Ma Simo had invited a few mages before, and these things had already been prepared, and when he heard this, he immediately asked people to carry them over, and according to the arrangement of the Luo Dao people, he placed the confession in the center of the main courtyard, and put incense, candles, melons, fruits and other things on it, and built a magic altar.
