Chapter 17: Three Visits to Hujiagou

These villagers have a very good attitude towards Gu Changqing, and they have always believed that Gu Changqing is a real Taoist priest.

Gu Changqing was just a layman's business, only Hu Changshun knew about it, and he didn't say anything about it.

You must know that Hu Changshun not only went to Mount Emei, but also went to the Taoist Division, and no Taoist priest was willing to come to get rid of demons.

Gu Changqing's self-recommendation made the villagers grateful to Dade, even if he received 120 yuan.

Gu Changqing nodded and said, "Then have you ever thought about it, why are there water ghosts in the Xiaohu River?"

Hearing this, several villagers looked at each other and shook their heads.

"It's really unclear. ”

Gu Changqing said: "I came today to tell you the origin of this water ghost. ”

"Where did it come from?"

"This water ghost was killed by the people of Hujiagou. ”

The three villagers immediately exploded.

"How is it possible? Our Hujiagou people are very simple, impossible! Absolutely impossible. ”

Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said, "You didn't kill the water ghost, of course you don't believe it." ”

The three of them looked at each other and asked, "So, do you know who killed the water ghost?"

"That's nature, I've used a spell to make the water ghost tell his grievances. ”

"Then tell me who that man is. ”

Gu Changqing raised his eyebrows, and said mysteriously: "That person's identity is not ordinary, I am afraid that I will scare you when I say it." ”

"You're going to say it quickly!"

Gu Changqing opened his mouth, and suddenly paused again, as if he was very embarrassed.

This can make the three villagers anxious like ants on a hot pot.

"Tell me quickly, what's the sale?"

"This person's identity tells you, but I'm afraid that I'll get into trouble, so it's better not to say it. ”

"Look at you!" one of the villagers was angry, threw his hoe on the ground, and shouted, "If you don't say anything today, you won't want to leave Hujiagou." ”

Gu Changqing laughed and said, "I won't say the name of this person, but I can reveal a thing or two about his identity." ”

The three villagers widened their eyes and pricked up their ears.

"The reason why he is not ordinary is because he is like me. ”

"Like you?"

"Think for yourselves!" Gu Changqing sighed and turned to leave.

Leaving three villagers staring wide-eyed.

"What do you mean by being like him?"

"What else does that mean?

"The Taoist priest of Hujiagou?"

After Gu Changqing met the three villagers, he came to Hu San's house.

Hu San's wife threw herself into the river and died, and the people of Hujiagou thought that it was the fox demon, and they did nothing but be compassionate and sympathetic, and they did nothing else to persuade them.

Hu San tried to go down to the river many times to salvage his wife's body, but the villagers all objected, and even stepped in to stop Hu San as soon as they saw him approaching the Xiaohu River.

This is not because of the indifference of Hujiagou's people, but what Hu Shuntang, the son of the village chief Hu Changshun who learned Taoism in Emei that night, was requested.

Hu Shuntang said that the fox demon that appeared in the Xiaohu River was the earliest owner of Hujiagou, and there was no Hujiagou at that time, and this place was called Fox Hill.

In order to transform into human form, the foxes of Foxhill specially grabbed young women and snatched their bodies.

Later, it was suppressed and sealed by the Taoist priests of Emei.

In recent years, the seal has been loosened, and several little fox demons have escaped.

After they escaped, they tried their best to transform into human form, and Hu San's wife was the first to suffer from this.

Hu San's wife at the bottom of the Xiaohu River has been taken away by the fox demon, and Hu Shuntang and his fellow senior sister Nalan Mufei can only seal it.

Therefore, Hu San's wife can only sleep at the bottom of the river and cannot be salvaged.

This is Hu Shuntang's rhetoric, and Gu Changqing was also present that night.

The reason why Gu Changqing came to find Hu San today was that many of them took pity on him.

His wife sleeps at the bottom of the river, but he can only watch, which is the same feeling as his father being bullied, and he can only watch.

Gu Changqing felt that he could understand Hu San's feelings, and the two had different degrees of sympathy.

Of course, more importantly, Hu San is Hu Shuntang's hair, and he is the one who knows Hu Shuntang best.

The gate of Hu San's house was open, and not far away there was a villager sitting under a tree, his eyes glancing this way from time to time.

Gu Changqing knew that this was one thing that all the villagers in Hujiagou collectively decided, that is, to send people to keep an eye on Hu San at all times to prevent him from salvaging his wife's body.

Looking at the white cloth on the door curtain, Gu Changqing shook his head and walked in.

Hu San sat in front of his wife's mourning hall with his back to the door, he didn't even close the door of the mourning hall, and he could directly see the scene in the mourning hall from the open door.

Gu Changqing looked at Hu San in a daze for a moment, looking at Hu San from the back, he had lost a lot of weight, and he seemed to be a little shorter.

Gu Changqing walked in and closed the door with his hand.

At this time, the watchman looked in alertly, and soon sat down again.

There is only one door in the mourning hall, and Hu San can see it at a glance when he comes out of it, so he doesn't have to worry.

He comforted himself in his heart.

Gu Changqing walked straight to Hu San's side, and at a glance, he described it as withered, and his eyes were bloodshot.

In the end, the loss of a wife is a painful pain, and not many people in this world can bear it.

Gu Changqing sat down and said, "Do you think your wife was taken away by the fox demon?"

Hu San turned his head for a long time and said expressionlessly: "That's what Shun Tang said." ”

"But you don't believe it at all, do you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have to send someone to keep an eye on you. ”

"I'm just a mortal, I can't control my feelings, I can't let my wife sleep alone at the bottom of the cold lake, I want her to be in peace. ”

"If what Hu Shuntang said is wrong, then your wife will be able to live in peace. ”

"He is a nine-grade Taoist priest who learned Taoism in Emei, how can he lie to us?"

"There may be his own reasons. ”

Hu San raised his head slightly and looked at Gu Changqing with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

Gu Changqing sighed: "Do you think I'm provoking friendship between you and Hu Shuntang?"

"Isn't it?"

"I've only met you and Hu Shuntang once, and there is no conflict of interest or hatred, so why provoke?"

"You have to ask yourself. ”

Gu Changqing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I just don't want you to be kept in the dark, you have already borne it heavy enough." ”

Just when Gu Changqing was talking to Hu San, the entire Hujiagou was already shrouded in suspicion.

This suspicion stemmed from the three villagers who were chatting with Gu Changqing at the entrance of the village.

From Gu Changqing's ominous words, they guessed the person who killed the water ghost, the so-called three people became tigers, word of mouth, and it didn't take long for the entire Hujiagou to know about it.

When many upright people saw Hu Changshun and his wife, their eyes were cold.

Hu Changshun naturally learned about this from everyone's conversation, and he began to be a little afraid, afraid that what everyone said was the truth of the matter.

It didn't take long to do the farm work in the field, and he went up Mount Emei alone.

Gu Changqing didn't know all this, but it was all in his calculations.
