82: Lazy (II)

Zhou Yuanwai looked up at the sky, saw that the time was about the same, discussed it with the middle-aged Taoist priest, and then walked out and arched his hand: "Folks, everyone knows that someone has disappeared in our Fuxiang Town over the years, and his life and death are unknown, which has caused a lot of panic, and a few days ago, my youngest son of Zhou was also killed, and it was rumored that it was a demon and a monster who harmed people. ”

"Just when we were helpless, this Daoist He came to our town, and soon discovered the murderer and arrested him. ”

Zhou Yuanwai pointed to the wooden barrel in front of the altar: "This is the evil ghost that was captured by He Daochang, that is, it harmed our Fuxiang Town is not peaceful, and often dies, let it be scattered in this place today, and return a peace in Fuxiang Town." ”

There were more and more people around, and after a while, a few more people came to hug each other, including people from the yamen and local gentry.

Half an hour later, Zhou Yuanwai bowed his hand to the middle-aged Taoist priest and said, "Daoist He, please cast a spell to get rid of this powerful ghost and give justice to the people who were killed by him." ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest nodded, asked everyone to retreat, stabbed the sword, poked up a talisman, and sparks appeared with a shake, slashed on the altar, and immediately lit a few sticks of incense.

This hand was exposed, which immediately amazed the surrounding onlookers, and then saw the middle-aged Taoist priest flick the sword flower, and his body churned in the air again, crossed the altar, and landed next to the wooden barrel.

"Demon, you kill living beings, for the sake of disaster, today the poor way for the heavens, let your soul fly away, never beyond life. The middle-aged Taoist priest pinched his fingers, slashed at the sword, and then plunged straight into the barrel.

As if feeling a crisis, the barrel shook suddenly, and then it was pierced by the sword, and a terrible scream came out, and rich black smoke came out of the barrel, and the middle-aged Taoist priest turned over and retreated, avoiding the range of black smoke.

After a while, the black smoke became thicker and thicker, and the terrible screams from the wooden barrel became weaker and weaker, and the middle-aged Taoist priest picked up a few talismans from the altar next to him, and in a flick, he instantly fell on the wooden barrel, only to hear the sound of 'bang', and the fire was blazing.

Watching this He Daochang cast a spell, Yi Fan shook his head, what was sealed in the barrel was a little ghost, there was no need to act like this, it could be easily extinguished, this was fire and black smoke, and even set up an altar, it was just a big fuss, and the show component was more than the actual effect.

But this little ghost is completely gone.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice, turned his head to look, and saw that the old man who had a meal for him not long ago was not far away, pulling and pulling with an old lady Xu, not knowing what he was talking about, his expression was a little excited, and then he saw them sneaking out.

Yi Fan's heart moved, quietly followed, walked out of the crowd, turned a few corners, walked a few streets, and came to a house, where the old man and Old Xu walked in.

He leaned against the wall, and when he saw that there was no one around, he went around in a circle, and came to a window, and heard the voice of the voice in it.

"Wang Laohan, you said that no one else should know about this, right?"

"You know, the gold ingots are in your hands and mine, they are ours, and no one can take them. ”

Then he heard it inside: "Hey, why did you say that you didn't ask for a few more ingots of gold and silver at that time? At that time, the rest of our lives will be settled." ”

The woman was distressed, "Who knew that the Taoist was so powerful that he could find the hiding place of the greedy man so quickly." ”

When Yi Fan heard this, he probably guessed the situation, that little ghost loves gold and silver treasures and often steals, but he was bumped into by this woman, and he happened to be found with his heels, so he bribed the woman and asked him not to say it.

However, there are doubts, even if it is a little ghost, isn't it very simple to deal with such a village woman?

Thinking of this, he turned over and fell to the ground, kicked open the door, and then the old man and Xu Lao Banniang ran out, and when they saw Yi Fan, the old man exclaimed: "Why are you?"

Old Lady Xu was surprised: "Do you know?"

Not to mention the acquaintance, it is too familiar, the old man wanted to speak and stopped, his face was strange, and then he looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water: "If you want money, you will die." ”

Yi Fan was speechless, snorted coldly, and immediately shattered a piece of masonry on the ground with a stomp of his foot, and then said expressionlessly: "As long as you answer Poor Dao's question honestly, Poor Dao will naturally not embarrass you." ”

The old man's face immediately changed, and his body became a little shorter: "You said, what the old man knows, he will never hide it." ”

"Tell me in detail about your encounter with the money-grubber. ”

Yi Fan saw that the old man's eyes rolled, and he knew his flowery intestines, and pointed at the old lady Xu and said, "Come on, if you dare to tell a lie, break one of his legs." ”

"I, I said?" Old Banniang Xu was startled: she looked at the old man meaningfully, and the old man wanted to cry without tears, and he didn't dare to say it if he wanted to speak, so he simply turned his head away and closed his eyes and didn't speak.

Seeing that she couldn't get a hint, Xu Lao Banniang opened her mouth and finally told the truth.

It turned out that a few days ago, she went home from a private meeting with the old man at night, and met a short shadow with a package on his back sneaky, his whereabouts were suspicious, and he secretly followed behind when he was curious, and saw that the short shadow reached the bridge, jumped down, and then disappeared.

Just when she was wondering, there was a sudden noise next to her, and when she looked meaningfully, she saw a short man in green standing not far away, staring at her.

Just when she was afraid, the short man did not make any other move, but with a hoarse voice, told her not to tell what she had seen, and gave her three gold ingots, and promised that as long as she did not say it, he would continue to give her gold and silver in the future.

And if it leaks, then he will retaliate.

Of course, she agreed, took the three gold ingots, and returned to her residence, but before she could tell the old man, the next night, the short man in green came to the door, saying that there was a powerful Taoist in the town, looking for his heels, and wanted to ask her to intercede, and promised that as long as the matter was done, he would give a great reward.

She discussed this matter with the old man, and the old man's meaning was of course not to go, not to say whether he could talk or not, even if he could talk, with the money stolen by the greedy ghosts over the years, the criticism caused was enough to drown them.

When Yi Fan heard this, he frowned: "Did you say anything else?"

Old Banniang Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "I also said that the people who have disappeared in Fuxiang Town over the years were not done by it, but were captured by the little ghost sent by the ghost king." ”

That means that Zhou Yuanwai and the middle-aged Taoist priest are obviously looking for a scapegoat? Since they have caught the money-greedy ghost, it is naturally impossible not to know the details.

Yi Fan sighed secretly, people's hearts are complicated, it is really difficult to figure out, he shook his head, he didn't think about it, anyway, he didn't plan to interfere.

Seeing that Old Man Xu was looking at him with blank eyes, he didn't look like he had anything else to hide, and he didn't deliberately embarrass him, he put a foot on the old man's buttocks, only to hear a miserable scream, flew a dog and ate shit, and then walked out.
