The gentleman is to blame

Song Huaizhen fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, he seemed to see a green lake. He was rowing a small boat alone, floating on the lake. There were mountains on all sides, and there were a few birds flying in the sky.There seemed to be the sound of a lyre in my ears.A man's voice was vaguely heard again, mixed with the sound of a lyre.

"Young people don't know what it means to be sad, so they force their sorrows in order to write new words."

The sound of the lyre ceased.A woman's voice came, "Husband, do you still think about resigning from office?"

"No, there are things I can do in this world, and there are things I can't do. I just remembered that when the three of us were boating on the lake when we were young, we said some poems that hurt the spring and the autumn."

"Husband is swimming with me in the lake today, but he still thinks about the other two, but it's unfair to me."

"Ma'am, I know I'm wrong. Life is short and the sea has changed. Although I can't be destined for three lives with you, I will definitely live up to Madam's kindness in this life."

Song Huaizhen felt that the scene in the dream was inexplicably sad, and looked around for the man and woman who spoke, but there was no one except his own lonely boat.

Gradually, the voice could not be heard clearly, and was replaced by a calm and quiet boy's voice, "You have to feed me when you are so old? How afraid of ghosts are you?" Looking back, it turned out to be good Xie Nangui, who is not dead, stands tall and straight at the stern with his hands behind his back.Song Huai was so angry that he exploded, he picked up the paddle in his hand and wanted to hit it, but after carrying it for a long time, he found that the paddle seemed to weigh a thousand catties.I can't lift myself no matter what.

Xie Nangui still had that indifferent expression, but in Song Huaizhen's view, the irony was even stronger.I was anxious and angry, and was about to speak to teach this dead boy a lesson, when I suddenly woke up from the dream.

Xie Nangui was sitting in front of the bed, still in the same blue clothes from yesterday, with a folding fan in his hand pressing on his wrist.Song Huaizhen felt dizzy and couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or in reality for a moment.The two stared at each other for a long time.

Xie Nangui probably couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "But you're awake?Wake up and listen to what I know so far. "

Song Huaizhen became dizzy, but his mind was still on the blue lake boat, the sound of the lyre, and the talking couple.He blamed Xie Nangui for interrupting his dream, but when he thought about the couple in the tea shop, he felt very guilty.Why did I sleep so long? After a quick wash and tidy up, I left the inn with Xie Nangui.

The two found a small shop on the street, and casually ordered some steamed buns and wontons.Before serving the meal, Xie Nangui said something to the store owner, but Song Huai really didn't understand.

"What information have you collected, how is the master now?"

"In the second year after Chen Xianghan's death, the imperial court sent people to suppress the bandits, and wiped out all the bandits. The master and the county magistrate took advantage of this, and the county magistrate was promoted to Muye County. The master could have been promoted, but he was so excited, every night Lingering in the brothel Chu Pavilion, died suddenly."

"Except for the county magistrate who doesn't know whether they have any relationship, the rest of the thieves and masters have been dead for many years. Whether it is Xie Nangui's enemy or Chen Xianghan's enemy, they are all gone."

Xie Nangui thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Then what are we going to do now?"

"Master's tomb is in the south of the city, the farthest place from Dianshan. Chen Xianghan was trapped in the Dianshan tea shop. I am not very proficient in this area of ​​magic. Can you use a talisman to bring her to the south of the city so that she can see it with her own eyes?" An enemy who is already dead, but what I have been asking for for many years."

"My talisman can give her half an hour to move around since she was a child, but the techniques needed to bring the ghost away from the place of resentment are a bit complicated, and the two of us must go early."

"I see, it's what you said."

The steamed stuffed buns and wontons came out, Song Huaizhen tasted them, and found that the taste was much better than yesterday's vegetarian dishes, at least a little salty, so he ate a few more mouthfuls unconsciously.

"Xie Nangui, can I ask you a question?"

"what's up?"

"Why did you choose this time to go down the mountain? You must know that the Zongmen Grand Ceremony is about to begin."

"In the past, I tried my best to avoid this matter, or faced it in the wrong way." Xie Nangui smiled self-deprecatingly after speaking, "Probably the time has come and the state of mind has come."

Song Huaizhen said helplessly, he didn't expect not only Master to speak in such a very mysterious way without knowing what he was talking about.But seeing Xie Nangui feeling a bit lonely, he knew that he couldn't continue asking.

Song Huaizhen nodded, feeling a little sad in his heart, thinking that Xie Nangui learned a lot of medical skills on the mountain, and after going down the mountain, he can always be with his parents and share the happiness of the family.

"Do you hate Chen Xianghan?"

"There is resentment, but no hatred." Xie Nangui shook his head, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

"We can go to Dianshan earlier in a while, and I will go buy some paper money and ingots later to worship my uncle and aunt. Then I will leave enough time to study Chen Xianghan's teleportation array."

"You have a heart, thank you." Xie Nangui smiled.

Song Huaizhen was surprised that Xie Nangui's smile was very kind.It seems that this person is not so difficult to get along with, and there is a slight warmth in his heart, only to hear Xie Nangui say leisurely, "I thought you would only be fed by people and frightened by ghosts."

Song Huai said sincerely, it seems that people just can't expect anything from anyone.

The day and night of Temple Mountain are different. The night is eerie green, but the day is sunny and the grass is green. It is an unusual mountain.I want to come here to open a small tea shop, to provide a rest place for those who are on the road, and the family is harmonious and peaceful, which is also a good day.Song Huai really thought about it and sighed.

The two walked to the old house of the teahouse couple with ease, weeded the weeds from the tombstone, fetched water nearby, and wiped the tombstone.After burning the paper money, he kowtowed a few more times.

Song Huaizhen said, "Elder, don't worry, your enemies have been wiped out. Xie Nangui is now the best disciple of the Taixuan Mountain Medicine Sect. A fool like me has to look up to him most of the time. His master, Ruobai The suzerain also loves him very much. You can leave with confidence."

Song Huaizhen drew a magic circle not far from the teahouse couple's hut.To ensure safety, he checked back and forth many times.Then he took out his own talisman, took out a knife and gently cut his hand, dripping blood on it.

Xie Nangui said, "I see that you didn't drop blood when you used the talisman at the entrance of the temple last time."

Song Huaizhen patiently explained, "The talismans are different. Generally speaking, no blood is needed. It's just that this time I broke through the restrictions for Mrs. Shen and added mana just in case."

Xie Nangui said, "None of the Yizong and Wuzong did this. It seems that only Daozong can do this. But there are now many people who study Yixue and debate and write. I have never seen anyone do it like you. Your talisman painting That’s not bad, can you give me one? It’s just for blessing.”

Song Huaizhen had a headache, he was not a Bodhisattva, how could he keep people safe, so he took out a blood-stained talisman and handed it to Xie Nangui, unwilling to explain too much.

As night fell, Chen Xianghan appeared.She looked at the Xie couple's clean and tidy cemetery with some surprise.

"Thank you both!" Chen Xianghan bowed to Song Huaizhen and Xie Nangui.

Xie Nangui said, "The gang of bandits back then were encircled and suppressed by the imperial court in the second year after you left. The Xie couple have already avenged themselves."

Chen Xianghan nodded with tears streaming down his face.

"Mrs. Shen, as for the master, he has already made soil now. After the bandits were wiped out, he lost his composure and died in Goulan. Would you like to go to the cemetery in the south of the city to see it for yourself? I specially drew this magic circle here. Let you not be restricted by geography. You only need Madam to stand in the formation and cooperate with my talisman."

Chen Xianghan nodded and said, "Thank you two benefactors, my family is willing to give it a try."

"Madam Shen needs to keep in mind that you must come back within half an hour, otherwise your soul will be damaged."

"The servant understands."

After half an hour.

Chen Xianghan came back, and this time she was not the arrogant and wanton she was when she first saw her, nor was she the later pear blossom with rain, all emotions dissipated, leaving only desolation.

"It turns out that this villain died in Goulan the second year after he killed me, hahahaha." Chen Xianghan laughed loudly, "I have turned into a ghost all these years, scaring people everywhere, but I never thought that my enemy would have died long ago, only me, I'm the only one who stays where I am, an idiot."

Song Huaizhen: "Madam should also let go of everything and go to reincarnation."

"There is nothing I can't let go of. Whether it's my greed for glory and wealth, or my hatred for my master, I have nothing to say. Today I can see the two benefactors and send me reincarnation. I am grateful. Although I am not a good person, but God still treats me kindly after being transformed into a ghost. In the next life, in the next life, I will definitely cherish my blessings and will not behave like this again.”

Chen Xianghan's body gradually became transparent, and before disappearing, he said, "By the way, my benefactors, I have something to tell you. After I turned into a ghost, I saw a young man dressed as a scholar. This person once promised to my slaves , if the slave is willing to entrust his soul to him. In exchange, the slave can be given the right to move around in the daytime as a ghost, and I can leave the tea shop to seek revenge for that bastard master. But, for some reason, the slave has something in his heart He hesitated and did not agree to him. I have never seen this person again since then."

Song Huaizhen frowned, handed over his soul to others, and gave him a free body. Isn't this a forbidden technique that has been lost for a long time - controlling evil spirits?I like to read messy books on weekdays. I once read a wonderful book called "Hui Tian" in the library of Yanxia Temple. The book records all kinds of evil methods. " is one of them.
