I, the ghost hunter, chase my wife thousands of miles away! [Rebirth]

The two walked around the market, even though it was only one morning, Wan Jiang's abnormality was still obvious.

Many young women wear red flowers on their heads, the size of cuckoos, which are said to be dyed red with chicken blood to ward off evil spirits.

The customs in Wanjiang are different from those in many places.When someone in the family dies, if the deceased is an elder, then people will wear sackcloth and filial piety, sackcloth on the head, and a sackcloth on the body.If they are of the same generation, then tear off a piece of linen cloth three fingers wide and tie it on the arm, male left and female right.For the younger generation, such as those children who said that "all newborns in Wanjiang are stillborn" in the mouth of the old woman, the adults only put a needle on the arm, and the mother would wear a small white flower on her head.

However, since young children will die in infancy, and no one is spared, why didn't I see a young woman with white flowers on her head, but red flowers instead?

After inquiring about it, Shao Mobai found out that the imperial court had sent an imperial envoy to investigate and solve the case, so he discarded all factors that would interfere with the investigation.For example, the minister felt that the young woman wearing white flowers on her head would give certain clues to the "murderer" and screen the target.

Therefore, all women are not allowed to wear white flowers.Because of this strange thing, the women were afraid that the evil spirit would contaminate themselves, so they listened to a Taoist priest's suggestion and wore red flowers stained with chicken blood to drive away evil spirits.

It is said that the imperial envoy has been here for three months and has made no progress.Shao Mubai reasonably doubted the imperial envoy's ability to solve the case, but who would have thought that Wan Jiang's people trusted him very much.

"Such an unsolved case, how could the murderer be found within a day or two?"

"The emperor's heart is kind, and the imperial envoy has great powers. These days, the number of babies who died in infancy has been greatly reduced."

"Are you from another place? No wonder you are so disrespectful to the imperial envoy."

"Young man, I think you have a kind face to advise you. You have to be careful when you speak, otherwise you will disobey the court. Even if you have not violated the law, the elders of the tribe will still burn you."

"Who the hell are you guys? Why do you keep asking here and there? Wan Jiang has so many things, can you finish asking?"

He asked people all the way, but everyone's attitudes were almost the same. In the final analysis, they were loyal and loyal. If there was any criticism of the imperial court or imperial envoys, the fire site in the center of the village would be burned down again.

During the meal, Shao Mobai ordered a plate of stir-fried sea fish with a lot of peppers, and Duan Wuji was very satisfied.

He chewed a piece of chili and said, "In other words, they still believe in a mortal person with naked eyes and expect them to help find the murderer?"

Shao Mobai sighed when he thought of this: "Yes. But we have seen the imperial envoy from a distance just now, and there is still some official airs, but there is a Taoist priest with a wooden sword next to him. I don't know, I thought he was here to catch demons. .”

Duan Wuji thought for a while, and said, "I don't know what the Taoist priest is capable of."

Shao Mobai recalled it for a while, then shook his head pessimistically, "The cultivation base is not high, maybe it's fake."

As soon as Duan Wuji heard that he was interested, his chewing movement suddenly slowed down, "How do you say that?"

Shao Mobai looked left and right, saw that the people around him were all eating their own food, and no one was listening, so he lowered his voice and approached: "Wu Zing, do you know about 'Tianshi'?"

Duan Wuji frowned, "Tianshi?"

Shao Mobai continued: "Tianshi has a very high status in Taoism. Taoism has been passed down for thousands of years, and there has only been one celestial master in all dynasties. To put it bluntly, the celestial master is actually the leader of Taoism. As far as I know, this world today He is a celestial master who actually lives in seclusion in the deep mountains in the Hengyu area. This Taoist priest from Wanjiang Laoshizi actually calls himself a 'celestial master', which is definitely tricky."

Duan Wuji rolled his eyes, and promised: "This is reasonable. This person is either poor in knowledge, or he is a charlatan at all." He thought for a while, and then became puzzled, "But why did he pretend to be a celestial master? If the imperial envoy cheats under the nose, aren't you afraid that if you are exposed, your head will fall to the ground?"

Shao Mubai thought for a moment, and said: "Maybe, it's because this Taoist priest is too skillful in deception, and he got the imperial envoy involved. Maybe, they are in collusion to deceive the people of Wanjiang together and make a profit from it."

The two were discussing, when suddenly the sound of crackling firecrackers came from a distance, piercing through the downtown area, interrupting their conversation.

Duan Wuji looked up, trying to pass through the busy city, but was blocked by the houses on both sides of the street, and only saw a piece of mossy tiles in the distance.

"Is anyone married?"

Shao Mengbai also shrugged, "Maybe?"

Xiaoer happened to come to serve wine, and seeing the two strangers in a daze, he said something extra: "You two guests don't know, the sound of firecrackers, someone from someone's family must have died."

Shao Mobai rolled his eyes, and said: "Wan Jiang's custom is really different. In ordinary places, firecrackers are set off for red things, but here are also white things." Then he looked up at Xiao Er, "Do you know why, little brother?"

Xiao Er put the jug on the table, weighed the tray and stood aside, "The guest officer doesn't know, according to Wan Jiang, Yin and Yang are relative. A person dies in the Yang world, but compared to the Yin world, he is He gave birth, so it is necessary to set off firecrackers. It can not only express the family's expectation for him to enter the reincarnation as soon as possible, but also drive away the ghosts who hinder him from going to the underworld."

Shao Mubai replied while thinking: "Oh...so that's the case."

As he spoke, he looked at Duan Wuji who was opposite, and the two nodded in agreement.

So, in an instant, the two people on the long bench jumped up and flew out with lightning-fast lightness. gone.

"Wow..." Xiao Er dropped the tray in his hand in shock, like an inland person seeing the sea for the first time, "A master of the world..."

"San'er! Go to work!"

The shopkeeper in the store yelled loudly, which made him startled, and quickly picked up the tray, "Hey! Here we come!"

Let's say the two of them used lightness kung fu to fly towards the sound of firecrackers, and they saw a family hanging white silk.There is still a stone lion with a plaque in front of the door, and a doorman standing with his head hanging down. It seems that it is a rich family.However, Wanjiang's place is small, the family has two courtyards and six houses, and the decoration can only be regarded as the middle level in the capital, but in Wanjiang, which is a diligent and simple place, it should be ranked among the best.

The doorman thought it was a villager who was going to the funeral, so he didn't stop him.When the two entered, it happened that crying came from the delivery room.

"My son—"

The woman's sharp and mournful cries confirmed their guess - the one who died was indeed a child again.

"Why do I take medicine every day and be careful everywhere, but he is still gone—"

She was weak after giving birth, and felt anxious again. After crying a few times, she passed out and became unconscious.

The husband outside the door was in a state of desperation, so he ordered his servants and midwives to take care of him quickly, don't just lose the child, and the adults will die again.

He was still young, perhaps in his thirties, but the deep vertical gullies between his brows forced him to age a few years.

Men are not allowed in the delivery room.The ancestors were afraid that their husbands would have psychological shadows in the future after seeing the bloody scene in the delivery room, so they ordered the prohibition of men from entering the delivery room.For thousands of years, this custom has been passed down to this day.

Not long after, the imperial envoy also came hearing the wind, and of course, with him was the Taoist priest with the wooden sword on his back.Shao Mobai signaled Duan Wuji to stand still and just watch from the sidelines.

"grown ups!"

The man seemed to see the savior, and rushed to meet him, "My lord! The child of Caomin... is gone again!"

The imperial envoy's eyes were sharp and his mouth was sharp, and his eyes were especially small. Every time he turned around, he seemed to be calculating carefully.As soon as he entered the door, he walked towards the man, patted his shoulder with concern as a comfort, and asked:

"What's going on here? Have you taken all the prescribed medicine?"

The man's eyes were bloodshot, and he sighed, "I took it all, three times a day, and I didn't miss a single meal. The medicine was so bitter, I would eat half of it and vomit the half. Every time I couldn't swallow it, I thought about it." The child survived, so she gritted her teeth and drank it again. But now it seems that it was all in vain!"

When the imperial envoy heard this, his face was displeased, and he pointed to the unpredictable Taoist priest beside him, and reprimanded him: "How can you make my wife take half of the medicine prescribed by the heavenly master and vomit half of it? The medicine won't be effective, can the conditioning be in place?" ?”

The man hesitated to speak, "Yes, but the medicine is too bitter. I am a big man, and I can vomit the contents of my stomach just by tasting it. Besides, she is pregnant, and she is already pregnant." reaction."

The imperial envoy frowned with two caterpillar-like eyebrows, and scolded: "The good medicine tastes bitter... The heavenly master has said that many women in Wanjiang have stubborn diseases and are prone to attract ghosts and evil spirits. If you don't drink this medicine on time, How can we get rid of diseases? If we don’t get rid of diseases, how can we ward off evil spirits?”

At this time, the midwife happened to come out with the dead baby in her arms, and the imperial envoy stopped him first, lifted the white cloth covering his face, and pointed to the baby's pale face, "Look, see how your baby died? I knew So, don’t you just stop throwing up the medicine at the beginning? The taste of stillbirth is unpleasant, and it’s even worse after giving birth to a stillbirth. How many times do I have to tell you before you are willing to put your heart into it?”

The man blamed himself very much when he heard it, "What the adults said is that in the future, the villain will buy some medicines from the Heavenly Master to recuperate the madam."

Only then did the imperial envoy's caterpillar-like eyebrows stretch out, "That's right. Heavenly masters are profound, and there are plenty of panaceas to exorcise evil spirits. As long as you are sincere, you will always overcome difficulties."

The man's eyes lit up, and he said gratifiedly: "Yes. The medicine of the Celestial Master is indeed effective. The cheapest has always said that there are fetal movements in the past few months, which proves that the child has lived for a while, and did not die at the beginning like before. "

The imperial envoy twitched his eyebrows when he heard this, but the man didn't notice it, so he calmly followed his words and said: "This is natural. Take some medicine to cure the stubborn disease in the wife's body, and the fetus will live was born."

After hearing these words, Shao Zhengbai's eyes almost rolled up to the top of his head.This case was clearly caused by ghosts and demons, but it was all attributed to the woman by the imperial envoy, which was enough to impress him, but he still used it to sell medicine?

This Taoist priest is really capable. Not only can he exorcise evil spirits, but he can also see a doctor and prescribe medicine?

And this male master actually believed them deeply?

Obediently, is it okay to go on like this?

So, he decisively stood up when the man bought a prescription at a sky-high price.

"—From my point of view, Mrs. Zun is in good health, and I'm afraid she doesn't need to take medicine."
