The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 183
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the scorching sun hung high in the sky.

With great difficulty, Pei Wende got rid of the conversation between the two elders, and came to the Daxiong Palace to help his senior brother.

Then he saw his senior brother sitting helplessly on the lottery unraveling table, and kneeling in front of him was an old servant with tears streaming down his face and a haggard expression.

"Brother?"

Cautiously sneaking into the group of onlookers, Pei Wende greeted Huiji.

"Hey? You came just in time!"

Seeing Pei Wende's sudden appearance, Huiji immediately spoke as if seeing a savior.

"Old man, don't cry anymore, get up quickly."

"My junior brother is here, if you have anything specific to say to him."

So, Pei Wende was pulled over by Hui Ji with such a confused face, and then left the crowded crowd with the haggard old man.

......................................................................................................

After half a stick of incense, in a wing room in the backyard of Tongqing Temple.

After taking over the hot potato from Hui Ji, Pei Wende finally calmed down the old servant who was still wiping tears.

"Old man, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."

While comforting the old man's emotions in a soft voice, he handed over all kinds of tea and snacks...

Pei Wende had long been used to this situation, and only after the old man calmed down a little, did he begin to ask in detail what happened.

After all, those who can come to the temple for help are basically desperate.

Whether it's a real dead horse being used as a living horse doctor, or some evil spirits encountered in the family, Wen Wende feels that he has the obligation to find out in detail.

In fact, this was also the reason why Huiji decisively handed the old man over to him after seeing Pei Wende.

Huiji, who is upright and hot-tempered, is really not suitable for this kind of "listener" role, let alone comforting the sobbing old man.

Compared with listening and comforting, Huiji is better at directly solving manufacturing problems.

On the contrary, it was Pei Wende, despite his usual unscrupulous character, he was actually one of the few people who could seriously play the role of "listener".

"Little master, you must save my little man's life!"

After a long time, the old man who finally stopped crying wiped away his tears embarrassingly, and began to talk about the difficulties he encountered.

"The old man is the housekeeper of He Yuan's family at the foot of the mountain."

"This time I went up the mountain to seek help from a few masters, and I really had nowhere to go."

Maybe it's because I've cried enough before, or maybe it's because of Pei Wende's reputation now...

When the old man was talking to him at this moment, he was no longer sobbing when he was facing Hui Ji, and he spoke with a little more logic.

The old man is the housekeeper of He Yuanwai's family at the foot of the mountain. Because he saved He Yuanwai's life when he was young, he was also given a foreign surname, and he was surnamed He along with his master's family.

In He Steward's description, except for his status as a servant, he is actually the same as a relative of the He family.

From the old man of the He family to the children of the He family, no one regards Steward He as an outsider.

Especially the young master of the He family who has the closest relationship with him calls him "Uncle He" directly.

Some things that are inconvenient to talk to Yuanwai He, the young master of the He family will tell Steward He without any concealment, completely treating him as one of his elders.

In addition, Housekeeper He had no children at all, so he took the young master of the He family as his half son over time.

So after the young master of the He family ran into evil, besides Yuan He and Mrs. He, the most urgent one should belong to Butler He.

"So, your little man is bewitched?"

"Bewitched by evil spirits" is not a rare thing in this era, and Pei Wende has also come into contact with a lot during this time.

It's just that most of the time, "evil spirits" in the eyes of ordinary people are just some common diseases such as brain pain and fever, rather than real evil spirits.

Due to the limitations of this era, ordinary people do not know that it is a disease, so they will be collectively classified as "evil".

In the case that doctors can't cure it, they will put their hopes on Taoist monks, hoping that they can save their family members.

Among the many "evil bewitching" incidents that Pei Wende has come into contact with, there are only a few cases that are truly bewitched.

And among those non-bewitched incidents, the closest thing to being bewitched is a lunatic who pretends to be a ghost.

It was only at the end that Pei Wende realized that the guy was simply mentally ill, not a bewitched person as the villagers said.

"Yes, Mr. Xiao Lang must be bewitched."

Nodding his head resolutely, Steward He was very sure that it was a manifestation of evil spirits.

In He Guanjia's description, the young master of the He family is called He Qinfeng. He was originally a good boy who was honest and dedicated to studying hard, completely different from those spoiled playboys.

But since a certain day a month ago, He Qinfeng's personality suddenly changed drastically.

Not only did he no longer study hard and gain fame, he even lost the filial piety to his parents, and repeatedly contradicted them in words.

But not long after, He Qinfeng would forget all the things he had done before, and become a good boy in the eyes of his parents again.

This huge difference in personality changes was naturally seen and remembered by the other members of the He family.

So those who invited doctors invited doctors, and those who invited mages invited mages. The He family tried almost all the methods they could think of, trying to cure He Qinfeng's "madness".

"It doesn't seem to be cured? On the contrary, it may be more serious?"

Pei Wende was not surprised by Butler He's description.

Because He Qinfeng's illness was really cured, Steward He would not come to Tongqing Temple for help today.

Regardless of whether He Qinfeng was really possessed by an evil spirit, or just a simple mental illness, after such a toss, the situation will definitely become more serious than before.

This also confirmed from the side that Butler He was sobbing before.

After all, if He Qinfeng just maintained his original appearance, although He Qinfeng's condition was serious, it was far from the point where he needed to be "saved".

"Yes, if it is said that Mr. Xiao Lang can still stay awake for a few hours a day."

"Then since he was treated, he only has the time to wake up at dusk for a stick of incense."

Although Steward He's words did not reveal any obvious negative emotions, it was not difficult for Pei Wende to feel his anger towards those quack doctors and mages from the other party's few words.

"I see."

Nodding thoughtfully, Pei Wende instinctively felt that He Qinfeng's condition was not as simple as described by the housekeeper.

This can be seen from the way the other party dare not look directly into his eyes when speaking, as well as the seemingly absent pause and thinking during the speech.

"Then what happened when you said he needed 'help'?"

After confirming that Steward He had concealed something, this became the biggest question in Pei Wende's mind.

He Qinfeng's current situation is obviously not as simple as a simple split personality or mental disorder. It seems that there are other situations that are endangering his life.

"Xiao Langjun, he...he..."

Hearing Pei Wende's question, Steward He, who was speaking freely at first, suddenly showed hesitation.

But considering He Qinfeng's safety, he had already made up his mind and told a fact that shocked Pei Wende.

"Xiao Langjun, his body is rotting, and slowly turning into a monster!"
