Huai'an Temple

At three quarters of the next day, Li Tan called out the Qi people, carried the corpse, and rushed to Su's house with the file.

He walked in front, and Xue Zhu tugged at Shen Tuan's sleeves behind him: "Master, Li Wailang hates evil!"

Last night, Shen Tuan almost rummaged through the Qiankun bag, found two clothes of the same color when he was young, and tidied them up for Xue Zhu.Now Xiao Xuezhu has tied up her hair and has two pearls for her feet.Wearing a blue Taoist robe, but tied up the big sleeves.The cyan bow shoes under his feet have several poles of ink bamboo embroidery on the upper.The Taoist robe is a bit long, and it flickers when it blocks the shoes.Only then did I see Xue Zhu's beautiful appearance, even though it hasn't bloomed yet, it is quite large.If you don't look at the bruises on your face, you'd look like a little boy who went out for an outing.

Shen Tuan lowered his head slightly to look at him, and said in a low voice, "Well, I don't think he comes to ask questions, but rather enters the house and destroys the house."

Xue Zhu caught up with two steps, still holding Shen Tuan's sword, said: "Since you are in the Gongmen, you must be easy to practice."

Shen Tuan rolled his eyes and replied: "The foot of the chariot and boat shop should be killed if he is innocent."

"..."

Su Bancheng looked at the group of yamen servants carrying the corpse to the entrance, his face was dark and his cheeks were bulging like a stroke.

Li Tan stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying: "Mr. Su, from the students' point of view, the cause of Miss Huilian's death, you should not believe in gods and ghosts."But when there is a murder case, his Mu Xiu, money for cleaning hands, and money for shoe soles are basically gone.Going to copywriting to write a secretary, turning the torture room upside down, you must go.So I'm in a bad mood.

Su Bancheng has been domineering for half his life, and he couldn't hold back his anger any more, he said: "Li Wailang, the people you brought said yesterday that no thieves from outside came in, no iron tools were used to kill you, you were so aggressive in the early morning, and you carried the corpse into my house. Someone pushed her down a well and drowned her?"

Li Tan raised his chin and gestured to the female corpse: "Miss Huilian was killed first, and her body entered the water, not by drowning."

Li Tan inspected the corpse last night, his face was cyanotic, the whites of his eyes were congested, there was not much water from his mouth and nose, his throat was not swollen, and his blood was not congealed.After further investigation, purple blood spots settled on the back of the corpse, which did not fade when moved and squeezed.This shows that she was suffocated to death on her back for a long time, and then she was thrown into the water again.

Finally, a round white mark was found on the chest of the corpse...

Mrs. Su led two nuns and four Xiaohuan out from the back hall.After the two parties exchanged salutes, the nun on the right asked: "Li Wailang, someone from my family made an inquiry. You said that someone killed him. Who saw it? There is no evidence, so how dare the Han family do it."

Shen Tuan stepped forward, made a bow, and said: "Last night, An Ren said that he saw a ghost, I don't know, but this one?" As he spoke, he took out a small jade bottle from his bosom. Three drops of clear liquid, the movements are chic and elegant.Under the shade of a tree behind everyone, the air twisted for a while, as if something had swallowed the liquid.

Suddenly, a misty gray air mass appeared, and after a few more breaths, I gradually saw the figure, eyebrows, and facial features, which was vaguely a young woman.

Shen Tuan patted Xue Zhu's shoulder and said, "Disciple, go and ask her what she was watching last night."

Xue Zhu seemed to be like what Li Tan said, "Be afraid of the shell but not the core", and walked a few steps forward according to the words, the knuckles holding the sword turned pale, and his face was solemn.More nervous than frightened.As if he had really spoken to the shadow, Xue Zhu gave a half salute to the ghost, and strode back.

Shen Tuan lowered his head and asked, looking at Mrs. Su non-stop, and said: "This smoke soul said, her name is Rui Niang, and Miss Huilian died after dinner, she didn't throw herself into a well in the middle of the night. She was stuck in bed by a woman. Here, ride on the body, press your knees on your chest, and then suffocate with the quilt..." Every time he said a movement, he took Xue Zhu to take a step forward, and when he finished speaking, he stood side by side with Li Tan.

Mrs. Su also had a sudden stroke.

Li Tan asked suddenly: "Men Su'an, the injury on your hand...?" Before finishing speaking, Mrs. Su froze on the ground.

Li Tan interrogated in front, and Shen Tuan took Xue Zhu behind to listen to the news.Oh, it's actually not new, it's a very old story.Rui Niang and Hui Lian were the two concubines of Su Bancheng, but they were killed by the wife of the main house one after another.Su Bancheng kept recruiting slaves and buying concubines because of his disrespect for the old, and finally the main house was ignited with jealousy and killed him.

It is still difficult for the young female ghost to transform into form, and it is even more impossible to talk to the Yang people in the daytime. The process of killing people is all judged by Li Tan from the corpse.So it's not bad, if Shen Tuan threatens, Mrs. Su will be frightened.

Seeing Li Tan's reverence and awe, Xiao Xuezhu couldn't help thinking about the proposal of "becoming him his son"...

Xue Zhu tugged at Shen Tuan's sleeve, "Master, why did she kill someone?"

Shen Tuan took a deep breath: "I'm afraid, it's because I like it too much?"

Xue Zhu was puzzled, and asked: "Like? You have to die if you like it? Then...why do people like each other?"

Shen Tuan twitched the corner of his mouth, rolled his eyes in disdain, and said, "Bitch!"

"..."

At that time, Xue Zhu was still too young, he had only been with Shen Tuan for three to five days, and he couldn't bicker with him at all, and would often choke on a sentence, and then he would faint.

Therefore, I can't understand why we like each other.

Li Tan worked every step of the way, won a big victory, and went back to run the copywriting.Shen Tuan took Xue Zhu for a walk to Huai'an Temple, passing through the East Market, there was a dazzling array of everything, rice sellers, noodle sellers, needle sellers, thread sellers, butcher sellers, rice sellers, big and small, high and low, One long cry and one short cry.With yellow hair hanging down, the sons and daughters are delicate.

Shen Tuan lowered his head to look at Xue Zhu, and said, "Are you literate?" Xue Zhu looked away from the cover, and said in a low voice, "Yeah, I don't even know a few."

Shen Tuan smiled and said: "It is enough to recognize the disguise, I will teach you more slowly. Who sold you?"

Xue Zhu heaved a sigh of relief, and teased calmly: "Sell yourself to bury your mother, this is even more old-fashioned than that jealous woman who killed her just now!"

Hearing his relaxed tone, Shen Tuan's expression remained unchanged, and his heart shrank.Pursing her thin lips, she couldn't help reaching out and touching the top of his head.Xue Zhu froze at first, then his throat rolled, and he didn't hide.

The two masters and apprentices walked all the way to Huai'an Temple, and when they saw something, Shen Tuan bought it for Xue Zhu, and taught him to open the mantra embroidered on the bosom of the Taoist robe and stuff it into the Qiankun bag.Shen Tuan loves to make money, but loves to spend it even more.It is never stingy to make money with friends.Xue Zhu is a child at heart, and several delicious and fun things coax him around.Little face flushed with excitement.Before and after running, he almost stepped on the skirt of his clothes, but he was still holding the long sword tightly.

On the other side of the East Market, facing Shen and Xue, came a scholar in a water-colored shirt, wearing a Confucian scarf on his head, holding an inkstone in his hand, grinding ink as he walked, occasionally letting go, watching the ink stick fall, and repeating. He looked up again, and was in a hurry.

As soon as Xue Zhu looked up and saw his inkstone as a compass, and the ink block as Sinan, he was amazed.Just when she was about to ask, she was pulled away by Shen Tuan, and she stepped out of Dongshi and walked away on a small path.Xue Zhu said: "Master, that man is so strange." Shen Tuan put his hands on his hands and replied with a mean face, "Maybe he has a bad brain and is stupid in studying."

But a person came out from behind the tree, and bowed his hands in salute: "The two Taoists have good eyesight, why are you in such a hurry?" He was dressed in a refined manner, with long eyebrows and apricot eyes, elegant and bright, revealing a touch of arrogance.It was the scholar who studied ink on the street.

Xue Zhu hurriedly returned the gift, but Shen Tuan squinted his eyes, stepped forward calmly, stood in front of Xue Zhu, and smiled lightly: "The true king invites me, but I don't know how to avoid it, so I rushed into it."

The scholar looked at Xue Zhu for a few more times, he understood, and snorted: "A body of pure yang? No wonder." Before he finished speaking, he shook his sleeves, and it was as if a broken bell had been cast between heaven and earth, covering it head of man.Cold and oppressive, tinnitus, dazzling eyes, joint stagnation, and shortness of breath.

Shen Tuan blocked Xue Zhu behind his back, turned over the fingerprints repeatedly, staggered unsteadily, and almost fell on Xue Zhu's body.The two were in a hurry, and when they looked up again, there was no sign of a scholar.

Shen Tuan's complexion was extremely bad, Xue Zhu stroked his chest and beat his back, feeling a little anxious.After a long while, Shen Tuan let out a foul breath and shook his head violently: "Damn it, Old Ghost Tang is so unpredictable, it's outrageous!"

Xue Zhu didn't know why.Shen Tuan explained.

It turns out that this world has never been stingy with the birth of miracles. It is just a thousand strange coincidences, which have existed since ancient times.People die as ghosts, with no body and no spirit, and then enter the six realms, and the cycle goes on and on.There are also fierce ghosts causing disasters, and haunting ghosts linger.Those who practice will be reborn in bliss.Those who know the law will be called ghost messengers.But there is such a kind of true soul, the two realms of yin and yang can be connected at will, and the heaven and the earth return together and are immortal.Between killing people and killing ghosts.To become a true soul, one must have a balance of yin and yang and three lungs.The male is the male and the female is the outstanding, the literary champion and the Wu Tanhua.Died at the age of 24, the day of his birth.Girls give birth to chaste boys, and Wen Sheng remonstrates with Wu to fight to the death.Carrying ancient jade body protection, stepping on the land of Longxing.

"All in all! It's really awesome." Shen Tuan clasped his sleeves, looked a little haggard, and introduced Xue Zhu eloquently as he walked: "The stupid student just now is called Tang Bing, whose name is Huanran, and his name in the underworld is Yuanhun Zhenjun .I don’t know if it was the second place in the previous dynasties. It is said that at the Qionglin Banquet, because he was not the number one scholar, his blood was splashed on the spot! Do you think you are studying stupidly?"

Xue Zhu instinctively felt that the reason was so absurd, probably because the legend was distorted.But he didn't want to ask too many questions, his head was full of Shen Tuan protecting himself behind him.

Seems like I forgot something to ask...

Returning to Huai'an Temple again, Xue Zhu looked at his future shelter several times.Without him, it is big!

I don't know how many houses there are, and they are surrounded by half a hill.Usually only lived in a small courtyard with three entrances in front of the mountain, Xue Zhu was too shocked when he came back from the back mountain yesterday evening, so when choosing a house, he squeezed into Shen Tuan's backyard without hesitation and lived in the east chamber.

After dinner, the two of them sat in the front yard in casual clothes. Shen Tuan was watching Xue Zhu order tea with a half-smile, and thought to himself: "Could it be that I found a treasure? Can I cook, pack clothes, and order tea?!" Fu also thought that since it was going to be sold to Goulan, there must be something good, needless to say.

Xue Zhu crossed his legs, his hands were busy on the small case, when the water boiled, the tea powder was half shaken, and the six gentlemen were flying, but the bowl and chopsticks were silent.It didn't take a while to cook two cups of green soup.

He offered the tea whisk with both hands, and asked him to blow it.

Shen Tuan fought with him while lighting a cup of tea, humming a little tune, and lost.Xiao Xuezhu couldn't help but beam with joy, and raised her hand as if showing off.

Shen Tuan then burst out laughing, it is a pity not to be a Taoist priest with the body of pure yang in the ninth month of leap for three generations.

"Zhuzi, let me give you a Daoist name! What do you think of Youhuang?" Shen Tuan was free.

"What is Master's Taoist name? I think Li Wailang calls Master..." Xue Zhu asked back.

"I'm Tunan, what's the Taoist name... Huai'an Temple has been my own for many years, and when I go out, I'm called Taoist Shen, Shen Huai'an." Shen Tuan looked at the green words on the wall with a guilty conscience...

"Ruo...Xu...?" Xue Zhu also looked at the wall, hesitating.

Shen Tuan jumped up and slapped Xue Zhu on the head, "At this moment, we know each other again! You are talented, your whole family is worthless!!"
