Chapter Seventy-Four: A Little Song by the Pond
While the two were talking, a voice came from afar: "Is it the eldest brother and the second brother who are talking in front?"
Without waiting for the two to answer, a green shadow swished and rushed over, the cuff of his right hand was confused, wiped the rain from his face and said loudly: "I can't find you everywhere, why are you here?"
Chen Huaji asked, "Xiaolou, panic, what's the matter?"
Qin Xiaolou said anxiously: "Madame sent someone to look for you, saying that it was haunted in the Admiral's Mansion, and asked the eldest brother and second brother to go quickly!"
"Haunted?!" Mu Zuo said stunned, "The dignified Admiral's Mansion, where can there be ghosts!
Chen Huaji was also suspicious, so the three brothers left the Changji Mansion and rode to the Governor's Mansion.
Entering the house, Mu Zuoshi paid a visit to his wife. With the support of the maid, the lady straightened out the slightly messy cloud temples and said, "It's good that you're here." Little Divine Doctor, I know that you have excellent medical skills, and the ghosts in this house should not have bothered you to come, but after looking for the Taoist priest of Sanqingguan to come to practice, it still does not solve the problem. I'm in a hurry, so I thought of you, after all, you are also a Taoist, so you must also have some spells to subdue demons and catch ghosts, right?"
Chen Huahe couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Thanks to the old lady's trust, if the family teacher is here, I think I can still show a few hands...... But ......" halfway through the words, a cold sweat flowed behind his back, and he almost said that he had lost his mouth, and he suddenly turned the conversation away, "But his old man has traveled all over the world, and he doesn't know which immortal mountain he lives in seclusion at this time." ”
Qin Xiaolou said with a smile: "Big brother, Madame trusts you, so you can give it a try." Madame also knows that you are not a Taoist priest who exorcises ghosts, even if you don't catch a ghost, Madam will naturally not blame you. As he spoke, he turned his face to Madame, "Madam, Xiaolou is right?"
Madame really likes Qin Xiaolou's cleverness, although she knows that his words are extremely slippery, and he is deliberately looking for a way back for Chen Huahe, she still can't help but be happy: "It's this reason, is it possible that if the ghost didn't drive it away, I will still cure your crime?"
Mu Zuo said: "Mother, even if you really want to punish him now, you can't. The child has married Jin Lan with Huahe and Xiaolou, and from then on there will be difficulties together, you will punish his crimes, and the child will also be punished together. ”
When Mrs. heard this, her face was overjoyed, and she said to Chen Hua and Qin Xiaolou: "I, a child from Changji, have been lonely since childhood, and when I came to my house, there were many people before and after, but I also knew if I really made friends, Changji didn't say that I also knew - no." These days, you have not only saved my son, but also made my son have two more Han friends, okay, good!"
It can be seen that Madame is really happy. This made Chen Huahe unconsciously feel a little more different in his heart, it seems that in this mansion, Mrs. is the only one with temperature. Rong Lu's high authority, majesty, and determination to kill, and the cunning and unscrupulous means behind Mu Zuo's mask made this gentle woman a little more human flesh and blood.
Chen Huaji said: "Since that's the case, then I'll give it a try." As for the specific circumstances of this matter, I hope that Mrs. will elaborate on it. ”
As soon as the lady waved her hand, the maid in the house stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Seven days ago, Xiaocui and I cleaned up the table and sent dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen. When passing by the pavilion by the pool in the back garden, I suddenly saw a black ghost standing still by the pool. Xiaocui pretended to have the courage to shout, who knows...... Who knows......"
Qin Xiaolou was anxious and said, "You girl is so angry that people are anxious! Who knows what?"
The maid struggled to restrain the fear in her eyes, and continued: "Who knows, the ghost hangs upside down from the edge of the pond on the eaves of the gazebo. Xiao Cui was so frightened that she screamed repeatedly, and the dishes shattered to the ground. Just as I was about to run away, I didn't know what kind of magic the ghost had used, as if I only blew a breath, and the two of us couldn't shout or move, and we couldn't stand in place and have no choice. We thought the ghost would eat us or drag us into the pond to drown, but it flew up a puff of white smoke and disappeared without a trace. ”
Chen Hua said: "Have you ever seen this ghost later?"
The maid's hands trembled uncontrollably, and it could be seen that she was trying to control it, but it had little effect: "The next day, the ghost did not appear. I thought that was the end of it, but on the evening of the third day, I woke up at night and suddenly found Xiaocui standing alone in front of the window and sneering stupidly. I didn't know what was going on, I looked at her in a daze, and the stupid and empty eyes really scared me, and I called her but she shouldn't, just sneered and looked out the window. ”
Qin Xiaolou was fascinated by what he heard: "You girl should be good at storytelling, I don't know how much better than storytelling and selling on the flyover! Let me guess, there should be a ghost outside the window!"
The maid glanced at Qin Xiaolou, and said with a slight salute: "Childe is right, the black ghost on the first night was standing not far from the window, staring at Xiaocui...... It's just that his whole body is black, I can't see what this ghost looks like, I just know that his hands are like human shapes, and he is doing this movement......" The maid said, pinching her right hand with the sword pointing upwards, and holding up her right wrist with her left hand to the top position.
"It's like a Taoist mudra, but it seems to be slightly different......" Chen Hua and Shen said, "and then?"
The maid said: "I was so frightened that I screamed. At this call, the sisters who slept in the same room woke up, and when they looked out the window, there was still a shadow of a ghost, and the trace had long since disappeared. ”
Qin Xiaolou said: "How is Xiaocui?"
The maid sighed: "Alas...... Since then, Xiaocui has become demented and can't even say a word. All day long, I just stood there looking out the window, babbling: 'Come and pick me up, ......pick me up'" The maid's tone was quiet, and everyone present was terrified when they heard it.
Chen Hua said, "Where is Xiaocui now?"
The maid said, "It's still in that subordinate room." It's just that everyone else was so frightened that they changed their residences, and only Xiaocui lived alone. ”
Chen Huaji said: "Didn't you invite the Taoist priest of Sanqingguan?
Hearing Chen Huaji's question, Mrs. took over and said, "Then Daochang Li usually has some skills, but after he came, he took the compass and looked around, saying that there was indeed an evil thing. So he opened the altar, cast a spell, and did a way to exorcise ghosts, not to mention, in those three or four days, there was indeed no more haunting. ”
Qin Xiaolou said: "Since that Taoist priest is useful, why do you invite us to do it?"
Madame said, "Alas, don't mention it. For three or four days, the house was peaceful. I said, please ask Daoist Li to show Xiaocui, is it lost his soul? Daoist did a ritual for Xiaocui, that night was okay, Xiaocui's consciousness gradually became clear, although he still couldn't say anything, but in his eyes it could be seen that he already recognized an acquaintance. I thought that the world would be peaceful from now on, but I didn't expect the news to come early the next morning, Li Daochang's eyes were round that night, and his seven orifices were bleeding, and he died violently in Sanqingguan!"
Chen Hua said: "So Xiaocui's soul loss disease has recurred, and the situation is even worse than before, right?"
Madame said: "The little miracle doctor is really powerful, that's exactly the case." ”
Chen Huaji said, "Madam, can you bring Xiao Cui and let me take a look?"
Madame waved her right hand: "Come on, ask Xiaocui to come over and see the miracle doctor." ”
