devil's son

Soon, Dongsheng took the prepared things to Professor Lu's house, talisman paper, cinnabar, talisman pen, red thread... Dongsheng calmly took these things out of his backpack and put them on the desk. Guessing Dongsheng's so-called method, he was still calm, and Professor Tang's reaction was a bit extreme.

Professor Tang was born and grew up abroad. It wasn't until her father passed away that she wanted to return to her roots, so she took her father's ashes across the ocean and returned to China.

The year her father passed away coincided with the time when the country rehabilitated the older generation of intellectuals. The college entrance examination system had been restored in the country, and the general environment was much more relaxed than before.Professor Tang was very curious about this country that his father had studied for a lifetime, and decided to stay and live here for a while, to take a good look at the motherland that his father missed so much.Unexpectedly, this stay will last for decades, and now the grandson is eleven or twelve years old.

Because he grew up abroad and fully received Western education, even though he has lived in China for decades, Professor Tang still cannot understand some traditional things in China.

Among them, metaphysics is the thing she can't understand and resent the most.

In her opinion, Duodu is a liar.In the early years, she often broke up with Professor Lu because of those nagging things.Seeing Dongsheng take out these strange things now, Professor Tang's expression is as exciting as if he knocked over the palette.

She wanted to say something, but was stopped by Professor Lu, who shook his head at her.

Professor Tang pursed his lips with a livid face, watching Dongsheng put a bunch of messy things on the desk, and then he said coldly: "Live chicken, knife."

"I'll get it right away!" After Professor Lu finished speaking, he brought over the big rooster he had just bought from a nearby vegetable market, and took a kitchen knife from the kitchen.

The big rooster in Professor Lu's hand was thumping non-stop. After seeing Dongsheng, it seemed that someone had suddenly choked his throat. I couldn't control it, and there was a big pile of stinky chicken cakes on the polished floor that my aunt had cleaned.

Professor Lu: ...

Professor Tang: ...

Dongsheng took the big rooster from Professor Lu very calmly, plucked the hair off the cock's neck neatly, and cut it lightly with a knife. The chicken blood was poured into a small bowl.After pouring about half a bowl of blood, Dongsheng threw the big rooster aside, poured part of the chicken blood into the cinnabar and mixed it well, then dipped the red thread into the rest of the chicken blood.

Dongsheng dipped some cinnabar mixed with chicken blood, and wrote a pen. After a while, there were nine more almost identical spells on the table.Dongsheng put down his pen, slammed the table, and the spell and the red thread soaked in chicken blood flew up at the same time. Dongsheng chanted the spell in a low voice, and the red thread seemed to come alive. When he got up, Dong Sheng yelled, "Go!"

The red thread flew up tremblingly with the spells on it, and immediately, the red thread accelerated suddenly, and flew into Lu Tao's room with a whoosh, the red thread strung with charms spun nine times around Lu Tao's body, then fell softly , the bright red runes turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.In a place invisible to the naked eye, the dark evil spirit lingering around Lu Tao is continuously pouring into the spell through the red line.

When the bright red runes and red lines completely turned into ink, Lu Tao's eyelids trembled a few times before they slowly opened.

"Tao Tao!" Tears welled up in Professor Tang's eyes, and he was about to step forward to hug his grandson, but Dong Sheng stopped him.

"You can't touch these spells. I'll take them away first." After Dongsheng finished speaking, he chanted a few more awkward spells. The spells on the bed flew up tremblingly, one after another, and landed steadily on the ground. In the hands of Dongsheng.Dongsheng pulled out the blackened red thread, folded these spells into a triangle, and packed them in an old wooden box.

Immediately, Dongsheng took out a peach wood amulet and handed it to Professor Lu, "Put this amulet on Lu Tao, this amulet can protect Lu Tao for a period of time."

Professor Lu didn't recover from the shock just now, subconsciously took the amulet from Dongsheng, and hung the amulet around Lu Tao's neck with great care.

Lu Tao was in a coma for three days. During these three days, he relied on infusions to maintain his life. His body was extremely weak. However, after his grandfather put the amulet on him, he suddenly remembered the cake his grandmother made for him on his birthday last year. He still clearly remembered the sweet cream on top of the cake, but unfortunately he was not in good health, and grandma refused to let him eat after only two mouthfuls.

Lu Tao couldn't help but licked his chapped lips, "Grandma, I'm hungry."

"Grandma is going to serve you porridge now!" Professor Tang gently stroked Lu Tao's soft hair, and suppressed the sourness in his nose.

Lu Tao looked at grandma eagerly, and it was rare for him to be childish and self-willed: "I want to eat the cake made by grandma."

"Tao Tao, drink some porridge first, and grandma will make it for you in a while, okay?"

Lu Tao nodded vigorously, and his eyes, which were extraordinarily large due to his thinness, narrowed with joy.

Seeing the childish joy of his grandson, Professor Tang finally couldn't help but have red eyes.

Lu Tao's appetite was unexpectedly good, and he drank a full bowl of shredded chicken porridge.Although the porridge bowl was not big, compared with Lu Tao's usual appetite, it was much better. He was still a little unsatisfied after drinking it, but Professor Tang was worried that he just woke up and drank too much. Taking care not to look at the longing eyes of his precious grandson, he gently coaxed: "Tao Tao, let's have a drink at night, shall we?"

Although Lu Tao felt that it would not be a problem for him to drink three more bowls, he still nodded obediently.He just woke up, his body was still very weak, and he fell asleep not long after eating the porridge.If it weren't for the small grain of rice hanging from the corner of the grandson's mouth, Professor Tang would almost think that everything just now was her hallucination.

"Dongsheng, thank you, the teacher shouldn't have doubted you just now, I'm sorry." Coming out of Lu Tao's room, Professor Tang sincerely apologized to Dongsheng, and bowed deeply.

Dong Sheng quickly helped Professor Tang up, and said dryly: "Now that Taoism is in decline, there are many low-level liars who cheat under the guise of Taoism. It's normal for the teacher to have doubts, so don't feel sorry."

"You say that, the teacher feels even more embarrassed."

So what should he say?Dong Sheng looked at Professor Tang expressionlessly, but his dark eyes showed obvious distress and bewilderment.

Seeing Dongsheng's stern but at a loss look, Professor Tang couldn't help laughing, "My good boy, today is really thanks to you, I will have dinner at the teacher's house in a while, just ask the teacher what you want to eat, don't eat it." Excuse me."

Dongsheng hesitated, "Cake?"

"Okay, okay, the teacher will make you a big cake later, I guarantee you like it." Sure enough, he was still a child.

Professor Lu was at the side unceremoniously dismantling the stage: "You, Mr. Tang, can only make cakes." After finishing speaking, he successfully received a pair of steaming eyes from his wife.

Dong Sheng couldn't help showing a pair of small pear dimples while watching.

Professor Tang called his aunt and asked her to prepare the ingredients for dinner.The couple looked at their sleeping grandson, and then took Dongsheng to the study room. At this moment, Professor Lu had completely calmed down, and he realized that something Dongsheng said just now seemed to be a bit wrong, "Dongsheng, you said that the amulet can What does it mean to protect Tao Tao for a while?"

Professor Tang was all about her precious grandson just now, so he didn't notice Dongsheng's words at all.

Dongsheng said: "When I was in the hospital before, I felt that Lu Tao's illness was a bit strange. It didn't look like a sickness, but like being backlashed by evil spirits."

Professor Tang was at a loss: "What is evil spirit? What does evil spirit backlash mean?"

"There are many kinds of evil spirits, and the evil spirit on Lu Tao's body is caused by murder." Dong Sheng said succinctly.

"Murder? How could Tao Tao kill?" Professor Tang's eyes widened. It was even more inconceivable than witnessing Dongsheng's operation just now.

"It's true that Lu Tao didn't kill anyone. The real murderer should be the one who changed his life with Lu Tao." Dong Sheng had already guessed something when he was in the hospital, but just now, he had completely confirmed his guess.

"Change life?" Professor Lu and Professor Tang said in unison, looking at Dongsheng in disbelief.They could understand every word Dongsheng said, but when combined together, they had no idea what it meant.

"Someone used a secret method to replace Lu Tao's fate with another person. Lu Tao not only has to bear all the suffering caused by the other's fate, but if that person does evil things, the retribution will also fall on Lu Tao's head superior."

Dong Sheng lightly said a few words, but it was like a bolt from the blue, which shocked Professor Lu and Professor Tang dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

"That's it, that's how it is..." Professor Lu suddenly thought of something, tears welled up in his eyes, his skinny left hand was clutching the armrest of the sofa, his knuckles were white, his veins were tense, his lips were trembling, and he was circling around in doubt. On the edge of his mouth, but he didn't dare to ask.

But in the end, he still trembled and said dumbly: "Dongsheng, my son and my daughter-in-law, don't they, don't they..."

Under Professor Lu's falcon-like gaze, Dongsheng nodded slowly.

Professor Tang took a moment to react, and looked at Dongsheng in a daze, unable to stop his tears.

Those who have never experienced it will never know what kind of pain it is for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.

In the past few years, as long as the old couple thinks of their son and daughter-in-law who died suddenly, they can't help crying secretly. Sometimes they can't help their eyes red when they see other people's family of three taking a leisurely walk.Others only saw that they took care of Tao Tao in every possible way, but they didn't know that if there was not a sick grandson who needed their care, they would not be able to withstand the blow of losing their son in their old age.

Although all kinds of evidence at the scene showed that their son was the main party responsible for the car accident, the couple still stubbornly hated the other driver. It was not until today that they finally knew the real reason.

Who in the end took Tao Tao's life?
