Embrace the blade

Seeing that he was at a loss for words, the crowd rushed forward again.

Qin Zheng gritted his teeth and waved his Dragon Spear to scare them away again, but the Confucian scholar saw through his sternness, and he was sure he would not dare to make a real move, so he walked up to the spear point with his chest out.

The tip of the spear made of black iron was trembling slightly, Qin Zheng struggled with pain on his face, and was forced to retreat a little bit.

The morale of the crowd rose sharply, and those unarmed people crowded up with the Confucian scholar, all put on an appearance of not being afraid of death, and yelled loudly against the sharp edge of the spear, forcing Qin Zheng to the end of the road, and was about to destroy the house The last line of defense before.

At this moment, a thunderbolt suddenly exploded at the gate of the mansion.

The crowd was startled.

Qi Zhaoxi let go of Jiang Li's hand covering his mouth, but still held him in his arms, and looked at the woman standing proudly in front of the mansion together with the others.

Mrs. Qin Ruan Ning came out at some point, followed by a few maidservants holding long-necked porcelain vases.She looked around, reached out and grabbed a porcelain vase, threw it in front of the door and smashed it. There was a piercing 'bang', which was the sound of thunder just now, and the ground was already full of sharp broken porcelain pieces.

The crowd fell silent, watching what she was doing in a daze.

"Ma'am, what are you doing out here?" Qin Zheng propped his gun on the ground, urging her exhaustedly, "Go back to the room quickly, there is so much chaos here, be careful not to hurt you!"

Ruan Ning ignored his words, showed a cold smile to everyone, and said: "Why are you arguing so lively, why don't you let me listen to it?"

"Mrs. Qin!" The woman holding the girl squeezed in front of her and complained, "Mrs. Qin must be considerate of us! Hero Qin refuses to hand over that evil spirit no matter what, and he has done us harm! You see, My child has had a high fever for two days since he encountered a ghost that night and was frightened!"

Ruan Ning looked into her arms, reached out her hand to touch the girl's forehead, and sure enough, it was hot, and she couldn't help sighing: "Poor."

"Isn't it, you give us a review..."

"It's a pity to have a mother like you." Ruan Ning withdrew her hand.

The woman's expression changed immediately: "What are you talking about?!"

"This child has had a high fever for two days, and has already lost her mind. Instead of sending her to the hospital, you brought her to this noisy place, making her jolt and restless, and using her pain as a bargaining chip. What is your intention? "Ruan Ning asked back, "If you are really heartbroken and can't bear the child's suffering, why don't you go to treat her, instead let her torment here without rest?"

"Why do you say that I don't really feel pain, this is my own daughter, of course I feel the most pain!" The woman retorted loudly.

"Have you ever sent your child to a medical clinic, and asked the doctor whether it is a cold or an evil?"

"Do you need to ask? I heard ghosts digging graves on the street with my own ears. Can I still lie to you about this kind of thing?"

Ruan Ning stared into her eyes: "Just answer me, have you ever been to a medical clinic?"

The woman avoided her eyes, her arrogance weakened involuntarily, her face was still full of reluctance, she hugged the girl into her arms, muttering something and retreated into the crowd.

Ruan Ning turned her head, her eyes fell on the Confucian scholar, and she chuckled softly: "I remember your surname is Liu?"

"Exactly." The Confucian scholar hurriedly bowed his hands to her, "Xiaosheng is honored to be remembered by Mrs. Qin."

"The year before last was flooded, and the harvest was not good. My master set up a shed outside the academy to give out porridge. When I went to help, I happened to see you. Others praised you for your high knowledge." Ruan Ning glanced at Qin Zheng, who had a delicate expression, and continued. Said, "Everyone had a hard time that year, but the master admired the scholars and insisted on donating money to the academy so that you can survive the disaster year. At that time, I persuaded him, why bother to hurt him because of that little selfishness? I have to live a hard life at home."

The Confucian scholar could naturally hear that she learned what he said just now, and deliberately accentuated the sarcasm in his voice, so he was speechless and could only smile awkwardly.

"I regret that you are talented, so I kindly remind you of this." Ruan Ning said again.

"Madam Qin, please tell me."

"That ill-gotten wealth is not easy to get. Be careful before turning around and being sealed."

The Confucian scholar's expression froze, and he faced the suspicious gazes from everyone around him, as if he had been roasted by a fire, and the sweat on his forehead was almost breaking out: "Madam Qin's words... I do not understand."

Ruan Ning said: "You understand in your heart."

Seeing this situation, the man who yelled and scolded before couldn't bear it anymore: "What do you mean by talking inside and outside, you bitch, saying that we are collecting money to make trouble? I seem to be short of money, why don't you mention this?" cheap……"

A sharp edge flashed across the eyes, and the man's words were choked back in his throat.

Qin Zheng slowly withdrew the Dragon Spear from his face, and warned in a deep voice, "Keep your mouth clean!"

Angry and frightened, the man spat on the ground before he said reluctantly: "Mrs. Qin wanted to say that we took money to make trouble, but what about the dead man? Could it be possible that he also took money to commit suicide? Especially It was the man who knew martial arts earlier, do you want to say that he skinned himself and spread it on the road in the middle of the night?"

"I was just about to mention this." Ruan Ning turned to everyone, "Everyone said that a man who knew martial arts in the city was killed by an evil spirit, and was found skinned and spread on the road in the morning, but who actually saw it with his own eyes? see?"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked around and waited for someone to stand up and testify.

Ruan Ning asked unhurriedly: "Also, how old is the martial arts man, what does he look like, what is his height, what is his clothes like, what kind of weapon he used, what day and night did he die on which street, Are you sure?"

"Of course this matter was suppressed by the government. How could you let us know the details you mentioned!" Some people argued against it.

Ruan Ning said: "In the early morning, on the street again, is it possible that none of you saw it with your own eyes?"

"The person who saw it with his own eyes may be at home, but just not among us!" The man objected loudly.

Ruan Ning laughed again: "Why is it such a coincidence?"

The man was still stubborn: "It's such a coincidence, so what, can we prove that nothing happened if we didn't see it?"

"Yes, this is clearly a frightening rumor, which has been spread all over the city by people with a heart." Ruan Ning said coldly, "If there is such a person and the way of death is so terrible, you can't sit still for a long time, and you can wait until Did Tan Niang from Jinque Tower come to make trouble after she died?"

The goatee Taoist who had been keeping calm all this time heard the words, walked out from the crowd, and met Ruan Ning's gaze: "Madam Qin admits what happened last night by saying this?"

"Facts."

"Since Mrs. Qin knows about last night's disaster, she should know that the evil spirit is ferocious. If he continues to let it go, and like Qin Daxia insists on favoring the living corpses and obstructing the poor way to suppress them, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"The Daoist's words are really strange." Ruan Ning said, "You have never seen it before, so why do you think that the corpse in my house is a living corpse? Chen Changfeng was only seriously injured and unconscious, with his heart still beating alive in his chest. His wife even He took good care of him and made him a living person, so why did he become a corpse in your mouth?"

Qin Zheng couldn't help looking at her in surprise.

The Taoist responded like a stream: "The poor Taoist came to Qiancheng under the guidance of the magic weapon. All kinds of visions in the city are the proof of the living corpses. The black air above your mansion is the omen of the resentful spirit cultivating evil spirits. As for Qin Madam said, it is the tricky part of the living corpse, the appearance is normal, ordinary people are naturally easy to be confused, but they cannot escape the eyes of those who cultivate the Tao."

"The Daoist really can recognize it at a glance?"

"Naturally. If Hero Qin doesn't stop us anymore, Pindao will definitely point it out for Mrs. Qin."

Ruan Ning said: "Okay."

Jiang Li on the other side couldn't help but look at each other with Qi Zhaoxi, seeing the same doubt in each other's eyes.

But Qin Zheng was in a hurry and wanted to stop him, but was suppressed by Ruan Ning's eyes, and she continued: "But I'm an ordinary person, I can't see the black spirit, if the Taoist priest deceives me casually, I can't tell the difference, what should I do?"

"Pindao exorcises ghosts and harms all his life, just for the peace of the world, why would he lie to you?"

"How about this," Ruan Ning turned sideways, pointing to the broken pieces of porcelain in front of the mansion gate, "If the Taoist priest can walk through the gate barefoot, I will believe in the determination and sincerity of the Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts and harm for the people. Even if you want to anger my master today, I will accompany you to verify Chen Changfeng's condition, how about it?"

The broken tiles almost covered the road in front of the mansion, with sharp edges and corners glowing coldly, stepping on them with bare feet was like being tortured.

The Taoist priest's expression finally changed: "Does Mrs. Qin really want to humiliate the poor?"

Ruan Ning was puzzled: "Why did the Taoist priest say that?"

"Using such means to persecute the poor Taoist, isn't it a humiliation!" The Taoist turned his gaze to the people behind him, "The poor Taoist came here only to catch ghosts and calm the people, are you going to treat me like this?"

"The Taoist priest has profound practice and has his own body protection. Since it can suppress ferocious ghosts, how can such a small fragment hurt the slightest?" Ruan Ning said before the others, "You misunderstood, I This move is also to see the ability of the Taoist priest, so that the master can believe that the Taoist priest is not a charlatan, and everyone present must also want to see it."

The Taoist was at a loss for words for a moment, and the man next to him shouted first: "Go over there, I'm afraid you won't make it! Taoist priest, open your eyes to this bitch!"

His voice aroused the emotions of others, not to mention that he was only one step away from entering the mansion to catch the evil spirits, and everyone shouted again, asking the Taoist priest to quickly lead them into the mansion together.

The more urgent the crowd urged, the uglier the Taoist's face became, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and angrily reprimanded: "Nonsense!" He turned around and walked away quickly.

Everyone left looking at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.

"It seems that the Taoist priest's determination to eliminate harm for the people is nothing more than that." After watching his back disappear, Ruan Ning looked at the others, "You are still not leaving, are you planning to wait for him to change his mind in front of my house? "

Without a backbone, everyone felt embarrassed, looked at each other, and gradually dispersed.

At the end of the farce, Ruan Ning instructed a maid who was following behind to spread the cushion she was holding on the tiles, completely ignoring what Qin Zheng said to her, stepped on the thick cushion and left the house.

Qin Zheng hurried to catch up, but suddenly remembered something, turned back a few steps, and grabbed the woman who was holding the girl.Under the panicked eyes of the woman, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and stuffed it: "Hurry up and take the child to the hospital, don't delay any longer."

After all, he didn't care about how the woman would react, and strode after Ruan Ning.

On the contrary, Qi Zhaoxi, who was on the sidelines, shook his head and sighed: "It's useless to stuff money. His reputation has already been lost the moment he picked up the Dragon Spear for Chen Changfeng. This small favor will not win people's hearts back. Look at Xia If it’s so big, it’s true that no personal affair is allowed.”

Jiang Li in his arms struggled a bit, and only then did he think of letting go.

Jiang Li stood beside him, watched the maid clean up the mess in front of the door, and suddenly asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"

Qi Zhaoxi thought for a while, and said: "With Yi Buzhi's method of refining human gu, Chen Changfeng will never survive. Although the Taoist priest has ulterior motives, the method he proposed is good. If he doesn't burn it clean, he will definitely die later." There is a mutation."

Jiang Li looked at him with complicated eyes, hesitated again and again, and asked: "...do you know Prajna Sect very well?"

Qi Zhaoxi paused slightly, then walked back with his arms around Jiang Li's shoulders, and quickly covered up the past in a calm tone: "It's not that I understand, it's that you don't understand too much. Everyone who has traveled the rivers and lakes has heard of these things."

Jiang Li nodded and said nothing more.

Qi Zhaoxi couldn't see his expression clearly, and the hand on his shoulder couldn't help tightening.
