[Sword Three + Seven Five] Medicine does not heal itself

The reason why Yuzhenzi killed Yuxuzi was because he was jealous that Yuxuzi had won Taishi Pang's favor. Fifteen years ago, Taishi Pang suddenly invited Yuxuzi into the mansion, not for the sake of alchemy and longevity, but he trusted Yuxuzi very much.

Every month when Yuxuzi went to the grand master, he would be picked up by the steward next to the grand master himself, and this time he was rewarded generously.Yu Zhenzi insinuated, wanting to know what Yu Xuzi did every month when he went to the Grand Master, but Yu Xuzi avoided saying anything.

Until Yuzhenzi poisoned his brother and buried his body in the backyard.Taking Yuxuzi's place and being invited into the Grand Master's Mansion, he knew why Yu Xuzi went in and out of the Grand Master every month.The reason why Taishi Pang respected Yuxuzi was because Yuxuzi relieved the family's misfortune, and because the grandmaster didn't want the truth to be revealed, so he only invited Yuxuzi and told him to keep the secret.

In order to restore the cause of the case back then, Bao Gong specially invited Grand Master Pang to come to the house.At the invitation of the old enemy, Pang Taishi was originally unwilling to attend the appointment.It's just that Gongsun Ce had expected something, and specially indicated on the invitation that the matter involved Yuxuzi, the former master of Yuxu Temple.

Before Yuxuzi disappeared, Taishi Pang trusted him a lot. It happened that the Taishi's mansion was haunted by ghosts. When he heard the news of the death of an old man who disappeared 12 years ago, Taishi Pang was upset. After thinking about it, he decided to go to Kaifeng's mansion.

It's just that Grand Master Pang went to Kaifeng Mansion, but his complexion was not very good.As for Bao Gong, if Taishi Pang is kind and pleasant, he would feel strange!

"Master Bao, why did you come here to find this old man?" Grand Master Pang sat down opposite Bao Gong without going into the government office.

Bao Gong didn't take it seriously, and straight to the point said: "A few days ago, someone came to Kaifeng Mansion to sue Yuxu Guan Yuzhenzi. The mansion sent people to Yuxu Temple, and got the advice of a Taoist priest in Yuxu Temple, and found three corpses in the backyard of Yuxu Temple. , one of which is suspected to be Yuxuzi, the former master of Yuxu Temple who has been missing for 12 years."

Grand Master Pang sighed: "Yu Xuzi is already dead!"

"The government heard that Yu Xuzi had close contacts with the Grand Master during his lifetime, and he would visit the Grand Master's residence every month. Therefore, the Grand Master is invited to verify some things."

"That's right! Taoist Master Yuxu has profound Taoism, and this old man has always appreciated him very much. He would come to my house every month during his lifetime. Until 12 years ago, this old man was ordered to go to Liao Kingdom."

"Grand Master?" Bao Gong couldn't help being a little surprised to see Pang Grand Master's expression was a little strange.

Although Bao Gong disapproved of Grand Master Pang's actions, he had never seen Grand Master Pang look like this except when he knew he had killed Pang Yu that day.

Even if Grand Master Pang believed in Taoism, he had known Yuxuzi for many years.Bao Gong would not naively think that Grand Master Pang was sad for Yu Xuzi who had died for 12 years.

"According to Master Bao, Yu Xuzi has been dead for more than ten years, and I'm afraid it's just a dead bone. How can Master Bao determine that it's Yu Xuzi?" Grand Master Pang returned to God.

"Teacher, let me know!" Gongsun Ce brought a tray over, "We found on the bones the poison of heartbroken grass that poisoned Yuxuzi to death, as well as the cinnabar commonly used by Taoists to make alchemy. According to Yuxuzi's age and height when he disappeared, the interrogation Yu Mako, so I confirm."

"what is this?"

"A relic excavated along with Yuxuzi's bones!" Gongsun Ce said, "Since Yuxuzi often saw the grand master during his lifetime, maybe the grand master knew this thing."

"How can I identify something that has been buried for more than ten years? I may not remember what I wore on my body more than ten years ago."

However, when Gongsun Ce lifted the veil covering the tray, Grand Master Pang was suddenly stunned.

"It seems that Grand Master still remembers!" Gongsun Ce said with a smile.

"...I remember, why don't I remember!" Grand Master Pang burst into tears, and took out a sachet from his bosom.

"I wonder if Grand Master would mind showing the students?" Mr. Gongsun said respectfully seeing that Grand Master Pang cherished the sachet very much.

Grand Master Pang was a little bit reluctant, but he still handed the sachet to Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce has studied the sachet on the bone for a long time, but the color of the sachet on the bone can no longer be seen clearly.But the fabric is very similar to the one brought by Grand Master Pang.

The sachet was a bit old, but it was well preserved because Grand Master Pang took good care of it.The material and silk thread used for the sachet are all excellent, but the embroidery is extremely rough, and the hanging webbing is also crooked, as if done by a novice female celebrity.The traditional Chinese medicine in it has long lost its efficacy, but it has not been replaced.

"This sachet—"

"The sachet was made by the imperial concubine when she first learned embroidery." Grand Master Pang said with nostalgia.

Bao Gong and Gongsun Ce were slightly surprised. Although Concubine Pang is in the deep palace, she has a gentle temperament and is extremely filial.It stands to reason that even now Pang Guifei often rewards things to leave the palace.Even if Grand Master Pang missed his daughter, he wouldn't want to carry such a sachet with him.

"The medicinal materials inside were filled in by the young girl herself, and the hanging nets were made by herself."

When Grand Master Pang returned to the mansion and heard that his young daughter had died, he found that all the things used by his young daughter had disappeared.Pang Taijun only said that keeping the things of the child who died young would hinder the family and be detrimental to the young Pang Yu.There is only one traditional Chinese medicine sachet which was carried by Grand Master Pang before he went to Liao, so it has been preserved.

Bao Gong and Gongsun Ce were not surprised when they heard the words.Because from Yuzhenzi's confession, it has long been known that Grand Master Pang once had a young daughter, but she died more than ten years ago.

"Master Bao, just ask what you want to know! After all, the old man and Yu Xuzi have met once. If what the old man knows can help Master Bao catch the murderer, then just ask Master Bao!" Grand Master Pang said suddenly.

Thinking of hearing the news of Yu Xuzi's death just after the ghost incident happened in the Grand Master's Mansion, Grand Master Pang only thought that it was God's will.

"Grand Master, is the sachet on Yuxuzi also made by the imperial concubine and the young girl who died young?"

Grand Master Pang nodded: "I heard that Mr. Bao can judge Yang by day and Yin by night, and he has a pair of yin and yang eyes to see ghosts and gods?"

"Master, why suddenly—" Bao Zheng paused, "Could it be——"

"That's right! The old man's young daughter is nicknamed Xue'er. She can see some unclean things since she was a child. That's why the old man invited Yuxuzi into the mansion." Grand Master Pang said, "Yuxuzi has profound Taoism, and his spells can stop those ghosts Get close to Xueer. Therefore, the old man invites Yuxuzi into the mansion every month. 12 years ago, the old man returned from a mission to Liao, but, only to learn that Xueer was on the way back with her mother to offer incense at the Chanlin Temple. The road was slippery in the snow and the carriage overturned Going down the cliff. The old man was sad about the little girl at the time, and he heard that Taoist priest Yuxuzi didn't care when he was out wandering, so he invited Taoist priest Yuzhenzi to come into the mansion to rescue the little girl."

"It's just that Yu Zhenzi started to go out after performing rituals for his little girl. And after Xue'er passed away, the family no longer needed Taoist priests to come to the door every month. Later, they gradually stopped seeing each other." Grand Master Pang snorted coldly, " It's also fortunate that there is no further contact, Yu Zhenzi, that monster, is a liar at all."

A flash of inspiration flashed in Gongsun Ce's mind: "Could it be that there was something wrong with the ceremony that Yu Zhenzi did?"

Grand Master Pang remained silent.

"Students have recently heard that the grand master's mansion seems to be haunted by ghosts!" Gongsun Ce said, "Could it be that ghost is the daughter of the grand master who died young?"

Grand Master Pang clenched his fist, but did not speak.

"The students are allowed to offend, has such a thing happened in the Grand Master's Mansion before?"

Grand Master Pang said dejectedly: "The haunting happened only recently. The old man invited many Taoist priests into the mansion to practice the method, but it didn't work."

The reason why Taishi Pang was willing to tell the secrets of the mansion in front of his old enemy was because he remembered Bao Gong's ability to understand ghosts and gods.

Many monks and Taoists were invited to the mansion, and the Pine Park is still haunted by ghosts.Grand Master Pang thought that perhaps there might be something hidden about the young girl's death at the beginning, and Bao Gong was able to help her, but it was hard to say what he wanted.

"My lord, it seems that the grand master really doesn't know." Gongsun Ce said to Bao Gong.

Bao Gong nodded.

"What is something that this old man should know but doesn't?" Grand Master Pang snorted coldly.

"According to Yu Zhenzi's account, he killed Yu Xuzi and entered and left the Grand Master's Mansion on his behalf. He once said to the old Madam Pang and Mrs. Pang: The second girl in the Grand Master's Mansion is the lone star of the evil spirit, and she suppressed all six relatives. "

"Bang" Taishi Pang slapped the table with his palm, and said angrily, "Nonsense, how could the old man's daughter be such a lone star! Daoist Yuxu clearly said back then that the reason Xue'er could see those things was because It’s because of the pure mind at a young age. Not only Xue’er, but many children in the world can see it before the age of five. It’s just that there are few who can distinguish between ghosts and ghosts like Xue’er, and express it clearly.”

"What the grand master said is true! Yu Zhenzi also confessed that this matter is a fiction. Back then, Yu Zhenzi replaced Yu Xuzi in and out of the Grand Master's mansion, but he was not rewarded as much as Yu Xuzi's Taoist priest. In order to show his ability, Yu Zhenzi, So he deliberately said that the second girl's fate is so unbearable. Only in this way can he show his ability and get some rewards. It's just—"

"Just what—" Grand Master Pang said anxiously.

"Yu Zhenzi originally thought that he said that the second girl was the lone star of Tiansha, and the Grand Master's Mansion must be holding gold, silver and jewels to ask him to resolve it. Unexpectedly, the Grand Master's Mansion never invited Yu Zhenzi to the mansion again. Until the Grand Master returned Beijing, and invited him to do something for the second girl who died young." Gongsun Ceyan looked at Grand Master Pang with some sympathy at this moment, "Yu Zhenzi suspects that the death of the second girl in the Taishi's mansion is related to what he said is the orphan of Tiansha. It is related to the fate of the star, and he was afraid that the grand master would find him to settle accounts, so he used Yunyou as an excuse to escape from the capital."

Bao Gong and Gongsun Ce didn't understand, how could Pang Taishi himself not understand the reason.

Because young girls can see some dirty things since they were young, and they are very quiet.Mrs. Pang has always disliked her little granddaughter, and only provoked ghosts when she felt that she was unlucky.Mrs. Pang obeyed Mrs. Pang's words, and the young girl had an older sister and a younger brother. Except for Grand Master Pang, there was no elder who favored her.

The reason why Yuxuzi was rewarded a lot before was because Grand Master Pang met him in person.When Yu Zhenzi entered the mansion, Grand Master Pang was not in the mansion, so naturally he could not get a big reward.

Thinking of Pang Taijun's reaction after the haunting, Pang Taijun felt a chill in his heart.I'm afraid that Pang Taijun listened to Yu Zhenzi's words back then, and never thought of spending some money to invite someone to relieve the disaster.Instead, he remembered the so-called "restraining all relatives" and moved other thoughts.

"Grand Master?" Bao Gong and Gongsun Ce were a little surprised to see Pang Grand Master so sad.

I really didn't expect Grand Master Pang to cry so sadly in front of them.After all, since Pang Yu's incident, Grand Master Pang has been working hard to fight against the Kaifeng Mansion. Who has ever seen Grand Master Pang look so miserable.

However, it is not difficult to understand after thinking about it.Taishi Pang had two daughters and one son, the second daughter died young, and the youngest son was jailed for breaking the law, leaving only the eldest daughter.Concubine Pang Gui lives in the deep palace, no matter how much she is favored, she will not be able to entertain her.That is to say, the Son of Heaven is benevolent, and Concubine Pang Gui is favored, so Grand Master Pang can visit the palace every month.

Taishi Pang's pain at the loss of his son and daughter is real, but the saddest thing in his heart at this time is the fear that the death of his young daughter may be caused by the old mother at home, so that little innocent soul only haunts the pine and cypress garden.

Seeing Grand Master Pang so sad, Bao Gong and Gongsun Ce couldn't continue to ask, and sent Grand Master Pang out of the second hall in person.

"My lord, it seems that the haunting of the Grand Master's Mansion should be investigated!"

"Oh? Why does Mr. Gongsun think so?"

"After 12 years, the Grand Master's Mansion started to be haunted. Yu Xuzi's body was found. The timing was too coincidental. Besides, if there is really a wronged soul in the Grand Master's Mansion, wouldn't your lord want to avenge it?"

Bao Gong nodded and said: "It's still Mr. Gongsun, who knows the meaning of the house."
