"Dao Chief, my daughter has fallen into the hands of a powerful ghost, you must save her! As long as you can save my daughter, the old man is willing to give 10,000 taels of gold and ask Dao Chang to save her life......

Mr. Chen is over 60 years old this year, his gray eyebrows and beards are occasionally mixed with a few tufts of black silk, and he is wearing a slightly wide purple cloud robe woven of nan silk, and his face is haggard and tired.

Who would have thought that in just three months, the richest man in Liucheng, who was originally upright and rich and charitable, the eldest master of the Chen Mansion, would become the miserable appearance of his sunken cheeks, sallow face, thin as firewood, and his body as clumsy!

The Chen family has a big business, but people are not prosperous.

In Mr. Chen's generation, the entire huge mansion was supported by the old man alone. In order to get an heir, more than 20 years ago, the old man Chen, who was just over forty, once accepted more than 20 concubines in a year, and these concubines all had a common characteristic, one race with full breasts and fat buttocks, that is, as the saying goes, good birth.

It's a pity that although Old Man Chen works hard every night like an old cow and works hard, none of the mothers-in-law who are so good at giving birth can conceive. Gradually, rumors spread from top to bottom of the Chen Mansion that Old Man Chen had broken his roots, and the Chen Mansion was afraid that he was going to die.

These rumors naturally can't hide from Old Man Chen's ears, but the disheartened Old Man Chen can't manage it, or he doesn't want to care anymore, thinking that the huge Chen family will eventually be wiped out in a hundred years, Old Man Chen can't help but burst into tears.

In fact, Old Man Chen had long suspected that it was his own problem, and he had invited a famous doctor in private, and even entrusted him with a favor, spending countless gold and silver, and invited a medical Taoist from the Qin capital to see him.

It's just that no matter whether this national player or a famous doctor in Fucheng, or those Jianghu Yelang, they all get the same result, Old Man Chen's body is very healthy, and it is impossible not to conceive an heir.

This result rekindled a glimmer of hope for the already desperate old man Chen, and he frantically took concubines in the entire Liucheng. It's just that Old Man Chen seems to have fallen under the curse of cutting off his children and grandchildren, no matter how he tosses, none of these mothers-in-law and concubines can keep seeds, and his stomach is flat from beginning to end.

This situation made the old man Chen suffer a big blow, and in discouragement, he moved directly to the Buddha hall, eating fasting and reciting the Buddha every day, and kneeling and begging to send the Bodhisattva.

I don't know if it was really a Bodhisattva apparition or other reasons, in the third year when Old Man Chen lived in the Buddha Hall, one of the concubines who served the old man daily and had a thin body suddenly became pregnant. This news is tantamount to the gift of the Bodhisattva for the old man Chen, ecstatic, the old man waved his hand, immediately repaired the Buddha hall in the Chen Mansion, and even invited the Bodhisattva to the bedroom, and offered incense every day.

Old man Chen attaches great importance to this child, and almost regards it as his own life, perhaps because he is afraid that his child will bump into it, but Old Man Chen is so frustrated that he ordered this pregnant concubine not to leave the bedroom one step, and four or five maids are constantly guarding the bed day and night.

As the belly got bigger and bigger, despite the supply of good food and drink every day, the concubine's body was still worse day by day, and she was locked in the house every day, and her mood became more and more depressed.

In this matter, Old Man Chen is very hard-hearted, as long as his children are safe and sound, the life and death of a concubine are not taken to heart at all, even if he ends up leaving his mother and son, he does not hesitate to keep his son, and his obsession with children has outlived everything.

Under the paranoid care of Old Man Chen, the concubine successfully survived until October to conceive, but at this time, the concubine's body was extremely weak and she couldn't give birth to the child at all.

Seeing that he was about to die two corpses under the difficult birth, Old Man Chen immediately made a decision, picked up the knife at hand and cut the woman's belly alive, and the child's cry accompanied the woman to swallow her last breath, alternating sadness and joy.

It's just that for Mr. Chen, who is carefully holding the baby, this moment is undoubtedly the happiest moment in his life.

Although she was just a girl, she was a little disappointed, but under the great joy, Old Man Chen couldn't take care of these anymore, and he was thinking about waiting until the girl grew up and recruiting a son-in-law, so that he could pass on the lineage.

Fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After the ceremony, the threshold of the Chen family was almost broken by the matchmaker, and the young lady of the Chen family was both talented and beautiful, and almost everyone knew about Liucheng.

However, when he learned that Old Man Chen was going to recruit him, the whole Liucheng was in an uproar, and for some big families, it was undoubtedly impossible to let their heirs join him, and the Chen family's mansion, which was originally in full swing, was suddenly deserted.

Old Man Chen didn't care about this situation, with the power of the Chen Mansion, couldn't he still recruit a talented person?!

However, on the night when Mr. Chen posted a notice in the city that he wanted to choose a good son-in-law for his daughter, Miss Chen disappeared mysteriously.

Old Man Chen was almost crazy, not only sent all the people in the mansion out, but also personally asked the doors of those good families to help find them, and even spent a lot of gold and silver to find the way of the official family, and invited a large number of patrol soldiers to help.

Old Man Chen almost turned the entire Liucheng over, but he didn't find anything.

Three months have passed, and Miss Chen seems to have completely evaporated from the world, without the slightest clue.

Old Man Chen had no choice but to turn to the power of the gods and Buddhas, as he did at the beginning, kneeling down to the Bodhisattva every day, hoping to bless his daughter with safety.

Maybe it's a day and night, more than ten days ago, the old man Chen in his sleep suddenly dreamed of his daughter, but the daughter in the dream was held hostage by a black ghost, saying that he was detained in a dry well in the backyard, died unjustly, and his father saved me......

Originally, I thought it was just a nightmare, but after dreaming about the same scene for a week, Old Man Chen began to notice that something was wrong.

Although Chen Fu has a big family and a big business, they are all ordinary people with flesh and mortal bodies, how can they fight against powerful ghosts?

In desperation, Old Man Chen could only ask those Buddhist Taoist temples for help, promising that as long as he could save his daughter from the hands of the ghosts and send her to reincarnation, he would give him ten thousand taels of gold.

However, it is okay for these worldly fat monks and thin Taoists to fool ordinary people, and in the face of this real evil, their performance will not be much better than that of ordinary people......

After tossing down, not only did he not get rid of the ghosts, but he was scared crazy.

===========================

The Taoist in front of him looked like he was in his forties, his eyebrows and beards were carefully trimmed, a hairpin made of high-quality mutton fat and white jade was inserted on his head, and he was wearing a black and gold Taoist robe woven with gold and silver edges. However, this extremely valuable outfit is matched with five short and three thick heads and a naturally vicious face, like a stubborn stone wrapped in gold and jade, which looks extremely incompatible.

From beginning to end, there was no expression on the face of the fierce Taoist, only when he heard the words "ten thousand taels of gold", he unconsciously raised his eyebrows, the skin and flesh on his face were a little relaxed, and he tried hard to make a kind appearance, but in this way, it looked more and more hideous.

Next to the Taoist, an eight or nine-year-old boy with a scorched yellow face and a shabby Taoist robe was struggling with the food in his hand, holding a piece of cold melon bigger than his head in his left hand, and holding a fat chicken leg in his right hand, sucking the snot that came out of him, and swallowing it like a starving ghost.

With just a cup of tea, the vicious Taoist finished discussing with Old Man Chen. Turning his head to see his child's appearance like this, he couldn't help frowning.

"Han'er, Han'er!"

seemed to be immersed in the delicacy of eating, and screamed without responding, the face of the vicious Taoist sank, and his face was disgusted and impatient, and he couldn't help but raise his voice and scream again.

"Huh...... Hehe...... Master, cold melon, you eat!"

As if frightened by this voice, half of the fat chicken leg left in the boy's right hand fell to the ground with a "bang", rolled down twice, and happened to land at the feet of the Taoist.

The Taoist who was greasy and stained with the edge of his shoes seemed to be extremely annoyed, kicked the chicken leg away, and glared at himself fiercely at the stupid apprentice, with a faint trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

The boy didn't seem to be aware of it, and when he saw the chicken leg flying away, he smirked and raised half of the cold melon in his hand and handed it to the vicious Taoist.

The green tendons on the Taoist's forehead jumped, and he forcibly resisted the urge to slap the stupid apprentice in front of him, suppressed the anger that rushed to his head, and said fiercely, "Put down the food first, take the things, and follow the teacher to catch ghosts." ”

As he spoke, he waved his golden robe and walked out of the hall without looking back. Behind him, the fool carried a half-human-sized purple wood gourd in his left hand, a black lacquer banner covered with rune paper in his right hand, and a tightly wrapped gray package on his back, staggering all the way to follow the steps of the Taoist, looking a little embarrassed.
