From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 208

Henry Zhang has not been in Renjia Town for the past few days, which has delayed the work of healing ghosts, so he just came back today, and he needs to start healing ghosts. After all, there is a slight shortage of Yin materials for breeding Yin locusts and preparing medicines.

Henry Zhang set up the black wooden table of the ordinary ghost doctor in the yard, put on the incense burner and lit three sticks of good sandalwood. This is Henry Zhang’s habit. If he opened a ghost shop every day, he would not need this It smells so good.

But if I wasted a little time because of my own business, I would offer some good things to these wandering ghosts and express my apologies.

There is a saying that people respect ghosts three points, and ghosts return five points to humans. Although Henry Zhang is in a shady position, he is much higher than this ghost class.

But such an easy-going and respectful approach moved the group of wandering ghosts and restrained themselves one after another. As a result, ghosts made fewer and fewer troubles around Renjia Town, and even took the initiative to help Henry Zhang maintain law and order. .

Of course, with the reputation of the ghost shop, more and more people come to seek medical treatment, not only those whose souls are unstable or those whose souls are polluted, some have obsessions and even ask Henry Zhang for help to end their obsessions, probably It was because the news about Shen Youcai got out.

Most of the obsessions of ordinary wild ghosts are things that are short-sighted by the parents, and they are worried about their living family members. Although Henry Zhang intends to help, there is only one person who has no skills and can only politely refuse.

But after Ren Tingting entered the door of cultivation, the situation was different. She said: "Brother Xuan, this is inconvenient for you, but the Ren family can."

The Ren family is a big family, and in these ten miles and eight townships, it is not only a famous name, but also a clear family in every situation, and it immediately takes care of this part of the matter.

Some old ghosts said that her son was living in poverty, so the next day the Ren family recruited workers and expanded production, and recruited her son;
In short, Ren Tingting did everything in an orderly manner, that is to say, she fulfilled her own goodwill and fulfilled the obsessions of these ghosts, and it was not just a help, but they had to work hard on their own.

Ren Tingting has accumulated more and more merits, and her practice speed is not slow. Henry Zhang sometimes sighs that his ability is really not bad.

But in the end, Henry Zhang just sighed and made a joke. After all, if he has no good intentions, doing good deeds and accumulating merits is just a joke, and it can only get twice the result with half the effort.

Henry Zhang and Ren Tingting burned incense in this yard, and also picked up the Sanqing bell and shook it, with a melodious voice, and went away in the night.

I thought that since the door had not been opened for a few days, there should be quite a few wandering ghosts who came to look for it tonight, but as the bell rang until the moon was in the middle of the sky, the chill gradually rose, but strangely, there were not a single ghost.

Although Henry Zhang felt that something was wrong, he didn’t take it to heart. After all, it was almost like this just now.

But suddenly, a loud shout came out of the door: "Ah!"

The expressions of Henry Zhang and Ren Tingting changed slightly, this was the voice of the old madman, the voice contained anger, could it be that something happened.

"Brother Xuan"

Ren Tingting looked at Henry Zhang and asked.

Henry Zhangdao: "Let's go out and have a look, it's a bit weird tonight."

The two stood up, opened the gate of the yard, and when they went out to look, their faces changed.

It turned out that it wasn't that the wandering ghosts hadn't arrived, but that there was already a dense crowd in front of his door, with a cloudy atmosphere, and I don't know how many wandering ghosts had come.

But these wandering ghosts only dared to patrol in front of this door, and they didn't dare to get close, just because there was a person blocking Henry Zhang's door, it was the old man who was crazy and silly during the day.

At this time, the old man turned his back to Zhang Xuan and Ren Tingting, and faced the group of ghosts. He stood up straight with his old back, holding a broken bamboo stick he picked up from nowhere in his left hand, and a handful of stones in his right hand. With a vague majesty.

When he heard the sound of the door opening, he turned his head, but he still had the same foolish and naive look, only slightly serious.He saw Ren Tingting and Henry Zhang, and showed a smirk: "Hey... hey. Go. Go, go."

He spoke upside down, and it didn’t seem normal, but it seemed that he wanted to drive Henry Zhang and Ren Tingting away.Henry Zhang and Ren Tingting looked surprised and did not move. He threw a handful of stones at them like a child who was angry.

Henry Zhang stopped the stone, with a thoughtful look on his face.And the group of ghosts who were blocked outside the door also saw Henry Zhang at this time, and wanted to rush up to find him.

But as soon as he stepped forward, the old lunatic seemed to feel something, turned his head suddenly, and shouted like losing his temper: "Ah!"

Ordinary shouted loudly, and received it with a brilliant power, scaring the group of ghosts away again.

Ren Tingting was confused, looked at Henry Zhang and asked, "Brother Xuan, what's wrong with him?"

Henry Zhang said softly: "This old man is a village guard."

"The village guard?"

Henry Zhang nodded, and then said: "Idiot, wandering the world, begging for food from hundreds of families every day, suppressing all kinds of evil spirits at night, experiencing all kinds of hardships, and keeping a village blessed."

Henry Zhang read a common saying that he didn't know where he heard, and then told Ren Tingting the details of the village guard.

There is a saying that no idiot can make a village. Although this is a bit exaggerated, if you often go to those rural villages, you will know that there are more or less such idiots in these villages.

These idiots, they are crazy, they don't know how to do things, but sometimes they act like normal people, that is, they often go to the weddings and ancestral halls to help.

Some old people said that these idiots are very spiritual, and before they are mourned, they are already at the door of their house, waiting to help.

These idiots are the guardians of the village. Some people say that they were born to help the village avoid disasters, and they suffered the hardships of the village alone to make the village feel better.

Some said that they were villains in their previous lives, and when they woke up, when they were reincarnated, they were willing to cut off one soul and two souls, and they were born with a foolish appearance. They were lunatics during the day and the most solid guardians of the village at night.

With a stupid body and a sword in his hand, he frightens the evil spirits from all directions, so these idiots yelling for no reason at night are probably chasing dirty things.

It was also the first time Henry Zhang really met this village guard. No wonder Zhang Xuan found out that he was crazy because he lost his soul and suffered from soul-loss disease. It turned out to be like this.

Ren Tingting also did not expect that there are such poor kind-hearted people in this world, she said: "Brother Xuan, what should we do now?"

Since this stupid old man is a village guard, I am afraid that it is also because Henry Zhang’s place is full of yin, and ghosts often come to look for it at night. He thought it was ghosts and ghosts, so he stayed here to protect this family.

Presumably, the nonsense he said to Uncle Wang did not refer to the "hands and feet" of the hands, but to the guards. He was telling Uncle Wang not to live here for a long time and to leave quickly.

Henry Zhang sighed, although this person is stupid, but his heart has never been broken, it really makes people feel pity.

He said, "I'll go and talk to him."

Henry Zhang walked to the old lunatic, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Old man, don’t stop them, I can deal with it.”

The crazy old man was unmoved, and directly pushed Henry Zhang behind him, and continued to stare at the group of ghosts.

Henry Zhang smiled wryly, so he had to take out a bamboo tube, then took a photo of one of the ghosts, put it in, and then let it out in front of the crazy old man, and said, "Old man, I'm not afraid of these things."

The crazy old man's stupid face froze for a moment, then he turned around and went to the corner of the wall, hugged the broken bamboo stick and closed his eyes, without saying a word, he started to sleep.

Ren Tingting said: "Brother Xuan, is he alright?"

Henry Zhang took a look, and then said: “It’s okay, let’s open the shop.”

The two led the ghosts into the house and began to heal the ghosts.

But the crazy old man outside the door suddenly opened his eyes, got up, stared blankly at Henry Zhang’s house, and then ran out of the village, not knowing what this half-crazy, half-stupid old lunatic wanted to do.
