Chapter 14 The Strange Past

The black shadow jumped towards me while calling my father's nickname.

I wanted to dodge, but at this time I realized that the opening of the soul-inducing altar just now had exhausted my physical strength. Before the black shadow could come over, I crouched and lay down to the side, Mai Xiao Rou leaped up to me, and slapped the black shadow with her left palm!

"Oh!"

With a muffled sound, the black shadow was slapped by Mai Xiaorou and flew backwards for three or four meters.

Mai Xiaorou asked me what was wrong, I said, I had no strength, and then asked her to clean up the dirty thing, leave me alone, I will be fine after a short rest.

Mai Xiaorou nodded at me, then told me to lie down, then turned around and rushed towards the shadow ghost.

The ghost's body was light and fluffy, and it swayed left and right to avoid several attacks from Mai Xiaorou, and then it suddenly turned its head and rushed towards my mother.

I yelled "No", but Mai Xiaorou remained calm.

"Oh!"

The ghost hit my mother's body, instead of rushing into her body, it was bounced back.

It was only then that I noticed that there was a yellow talisman on my mother's chest, probably it was pasted by Mai Xiaorou when I was learning how to open the altar just now.

After the ghost was bounced back, Mai Xiaorou squeezed a finger and rushed over quickly, directly choking the shadow's neck, and at the same time, Mai Xiaorou also muttered: "Since it came out, don't even think about it." Go back then!"

After being strangled by the neck, Soi Ying immediately went limp, and the aura of waving teeth and claws also disappeared in an instant.

I looked at Mai Xiaorou in surprise and said, "Is this solved?"

Mai Xiaojudao: "It hasn't been solved yet, but I have subdued it, there is no fuss, it is just a shadow ghost, when it is in Auntie's body, I can't do anything with it, but once it comes out, then It's easy for me to clean it up, after all, it's thanks to your success in attracting soul altar, otherwise I don't have any other good way to force it out of Auntie's body."

Sombra ghost?
Seeing that I didn't know much about the types of ghosts, Mai Xiaorou explained to me: "Ghosts are divided into five types according to their colors, white shirt, yellow leaf, black shadow, red and fierce, and green. The most powerful, even if I see the Sheqing ghost, I have to be a little bit afraid."

I nodded, and Mai Xiaorou added: "Above Sheqing Ghost, there are powerful ghosts, but those ghosts are rare, and generally don't appear in the world, so basically don't worry."

When Mai Xiaorou said these words, she carried the ghost and walked to the side of the clear water. She raised her hand, and then directly pressed the shadow ghost into the clear water, and then quickly grabbed a handful of water. The ashes were sprinkled on the surface of the clear water.

"Woooo..."

Immediately, there was a scream in the clear water basin, and then the floating ashes formed a blurred face shape. Although it was blurred, the mouth, nose and eyes were recognizable.

After doing this, Mai Xiaorou explained to me: "Although this water is yin, but the clear water is clear. It is for the comparison of a gentleman. Putting ghosts in it will not hurt his soul. Second, he can show his sincerity to the ghost. The meaning of treating each other. The ashes of the furnace are yang, and when fused with the yin of the clear water, a temporarily balanced yin and yang point will be formed, and this point has an environment to accommodate ghosts, and can also restrict ghosts from escaping at will."

I quickly understood what Mai Xiaorou meant. She didn't mean to hit the ghost, but to trap it temporarily.

That ghost got on my mother's body, and even wanted to kill me and Mai Xiaorou. If I had Mai Xiaorou's ability, I would have broken it up long ago, and trapped it again! ?

Seeing that I couldn't understand her intentions, Mai Xiaorou smiled at me and said: "Chen Yu, beating ghosts, beating ghosts is not just blindly beating, breaking up their souls and hurting their bodies, but also destroying themselves." Therefore, the real purpose of beating ghosts is not to disperse them, but to "eliminate grievances", to eliminate the resentment on their bodies, let them dissipate by themselves, or go to hell to be punished, or reincarnate in the way of reincarnation, Of course, for some vicious ghosts, they can be killed directly."

I pointed to the blurred grimace in the water basin and said, "It got on my mother's body and was thinking of using my mother's body to kill me and you. Isn't that a heinous thing?"

Mai Xiaorou said to me in an extremely calm tone: "I know, you have a lot of personal emotions now, but there is one fact before us, we are all fine, we are all fine, even if it happened, but The crime does not lead to death. Moreover, it is not without reason that it came to Auntie and you. I am afraid that it has some grudges with your family. It breaks up, if we really do that, then what is the difference between us and this ghost who is blinded by hatred and loses his mind?"

To be honest, I didn't expect Mai Xiaorou to say such a big truth, and I couldn't refute it for a while, I was already convinced by what Mai Xiaorou said.

Seeing that I seemed to understand the reason, Mai Xiaorou said: "I will try to communicate with that ghost now, try to understand what kind of festival it has with your family, and see if we can settle this matter peacefully."

I nodded and said good.

At this time, the Snake King Pendant on my chest suddenly sent a warm breath to my chest again, which made me regain some strength, and I stood up slowly.

Mai Xiaorou glanced at me and said in surprise, "You recovered really quickly, you don't look like a person who has not practiced Tao at all."

I said it was due to Snake King Pendant, Mai Xiaorou smiled and said, "That's your blessing."

After finishing speaking, Mai Xiaorou asked the ghost in the pot: "Tell me your name, origin, and what kind of quarrel you have with the Chen family, so that the descendants of the Chen family must be put to death."

At this time, I walked slowly to my mother, she was still unconscious, I carefully supported her, for fear that she would fall off the chair.

More than ten seconds after Mai Xiaorou's words fell, the grimace in the clear water basin finally spoke slowly: "My name is Liu Shengfu, and I came from the provincial capital. The main purpose of coming this time is to settle accounts with Chen Laizi!"

Mai Xiaorou asked curiously, "Are you a shadowy ghost, floating here from the provincial capital?"

Liu Shengfu said: "I just died a few days ago. When I came from the provincial capital, I was still fine and alive. It was Chen Laizi who killed me!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help wondering: "Don't swear, my father has been dead for many years, how could he kill you? Also, what is the relationship between you and my father? What does he owe you?"

My father has been dead for many years, and I will absolutely not allow others to tarnish his reputation arbitrarily.

I asked a few questions, and Liu Shengfu didn't know how to speak. The fire in Qingshui began to shake, and the grimace made of ashes became a little unstable.

Mai Xiaorou grabbed a handful of ashes and sprinkled some into the clear water, saying, "You'd better control your temper, you don't have to answer his questions one by one, just start over the matter between you and Chen Laizi." Just say it once."

Liu Shengfu said, "Good!"

Then Liu Shengfu talked about some things about him and my father.

When my father was young, he did not collect herbs in the village, but went to work in the provincial capital. However, he was not a very serious person. He sneaked around all day long, and often secretly sold some unimportant materials on the construction site to collectors. Bad ones in exchange for some money.

Liu Shengfu is from the provincial capital, but he is also a gangster. Because he can't find a job, he also goes to the construction site to make a living.

He and my father were like-minded, so they became good friends. The two of them cooperated and made a lot of money with the materials on the construction site.

If you don’t know it, you have to do it yourself. Many workers on the construction site know what my father and Liu Shengfu did. Some even learn how the two of them "earn" pocket money. Since then, my father has had a nickname. "Laizi" means rascal.

There were more people stealing things, and the reduced amount of materials on the construction site was also large, which quickly attracted the attention of the leaders on the construction site. From then on, my father and Liu Shengfu did not dare to take any more actions, while the others held Fortunately, those who continued to steal in their hearts were caught and sent to the police.

My father and Liu Shengfu saw that the way to make money was cut off, and the two were lazy by nature, so they quit their jobs on the construction site and fooled around.

The money they earned was wiped out within a few days. Liu Shengfu’s family was in the provincial capital, so my father and Liu Shengfu went to his house to eat and drink, but the living conditions of the Liu family were not good, and there were two older brothers , the family was already heavily in debt in order to marry their two older brothers and buy a house. In addition, Liu Shengfu himself was not up to date, and he was such a virtuous person, so Liu Shengfu's father kicked Liu Shengfu and my father out in a rage. house door.

The two lazy people had nowhere to go, so they wanted to do some illegal business. They chose to go to a place called "Tang Fu Tea House" because there were few customers and the place was remote.

When Liu Shengfu said this, I couldn't help but feel that the name was familiar. After thinking about it carefully, I immediately remembered, isn't this the teahouse that the Taoist priest named Zhang Rui was talking about?

The two of them stole to the tea house opened by the ascetic, and probably nothing good would happen.

The story continues, Liu Shengfu and my father went to steal Tang Fu Teahouse, and as expected, they were caught, but the owner of the teahouse did not send the two of them to officials, but asked them to help him with one thing, and it was done. After that, there is an extremely generous reward. If two people are restrained enough, it will be enough to spend a lifetime in peace and stability.

Speaking of this, Liu Shengfu's grimace in the clear water basin began to become a little unstable again.

Mai Xiaorou grabbed another handful of ashes and put them in, and the grimace stabilized.

I hurriedly asked Liu Shengfu what the owner of Tangfu Restaurant asked them to do.

Liu Shengfu was silent for a while and then said slowly: "The boss asked us to dig a grave, and dig out something from that grave for him!"

Mai Xiaorou couldn't help asking curiously: "Then Tangfu Tea House has a great background, why do they need two ordinary people to help them dig things, this is weird!"
