Legend of Monsters: The Prince Saw a Ghost Alive

Chapter 2

Qingchi followed to the ancestral hall.In the ancestral hall, there is indeed a sense of cleanliness and righteousness on the roof in the middle.It's just that the surrounding yin is too heavy, and the only righteous energy will be submerged in a short time.

Hearing that the Taoist priest was coming, the villagers happily rushed out of the ancestral hall to welcome him.But when they saw Qingchi, they sighed again in disappointment.

Who told Qing Chi to look young.

Qing Chi was not discouraged either, after all, perhaps the more disappointed ones were yet to come.

But when he heard that she was a disciple of Taoist Priest Qishan, he pulled himself together and asked Qingchi to eat first, and then he started to do business when he was full.

Qingchi was having dinner at the village chief's house, and there was a little fat man curiously poking at the door, who was said to be the grandson of the village chief's family.This grandson, no, this little fat man has a lot of pocket money at first glance!
Sui Qingchi beckoned to him, "Little fat man, come here." The little fat man moved in as promised, and she took out another fire talisman, and saw a ball of flames ignited in the palm of her hand with a swipe of the ground. It seemed to burn a triangular talisman, "This is a safety talisman, it can keep you safe, what do you want?"

The little fat man was obviously very moved, and was about to reach out to pick it up, when Qing Chi took it back and said, "Five cents a piece."

"Is it working?" Asking for money, the little fat man hesitated and rubbed the corner of his clothes.

Qing Chi said without changing his face: "On weekdays, this talisman costs five taels of silver each. Recently, it happens that the poor Taoist is accumulating merit, so the discount is so great. If you buy it, you won't suffer a loss. If you buy it, you won't be fooled. If you can buy it safely, there will be no such shop after passing this village.”

The little fat man was taken aback for a while, obediently handed over his pocket money, and bought a peace talisman.Qingchi has a lot of such peace talismans tucked in his sleeves, which are necessary for comforting women and children when walking in the rivers and lakes.

After eating his fill, the little fat man volunteered to take Qing Chi to the place where sick patients were isolated.Others are afraid of being infected and avoid the quarantine area, but he still likes to go up. If the old village chief is busy with the villagers and has no time to take care of him, I'm afraid his ass will bloom.

There are several large wooden cages in the isolation area. The wooden branches are as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and they look quite strong.Each wooden cage held more than a dozen people.

According to the severity of the disease, the patients were detained separately.In mild cases, the skin turns blue and slowly festers, but the mind is still there. The veins are raised all over the body due to the torment of the disease, and they groan in pain when they get sick.

Those who are seriously ill are even more miserable. They can't stand the pain, and they scratch their bodies with their hands, and their veins twitch violently. They pinch the veins like catching insects. .Qingchi looked at them violent and manic, and felt an indescribable feeling.It was as if... no longer a man, but a beast.

What kind of disease is this?

Transitional patients between mild and severe patients lose their minds, forget who they are, and return to pain, but they are very blind and don't know what to do. They can only walk back and forth in the cage like headless flies Same.

When Qing Chi came back to his senses, he found the little fat man quietly standing in front of the wooden cage.He looked at the delirious person in the wooden cage, pointed to a man and a woman inside, and asked Qingchi with innocent pleading eyes: "This is my father, this is my mother, Daoist, can you save me?" Are they?"

It seems to be the doctor's duty to cure the sick and save the sick.

Qing Chi pondered and said: "Where is the doctor in the village?"

The little fat man pointed at another messy person in the cage: "He also went in."

Qing Chi: "..."

It's a little tricky.Seeing her hesitation, the little fat man asked again: "I will give you as many copper coins as you want."

She felt that the fat man was a bit pitiful, and she couldn't bear to lie about his pocket money, and she didn't like to tell unrealistic lies to comfort others, so she said, "If the doctor can't cure them, it doesn't matter how many copper coins you give." , I can only do my best to let them rest in peace."

"What does it mean to be safe in the ground?"

"Dead and buried."

The little fat man ran away crying.Qing Chi looked at his wobbly figure, shook his Taoist robe nonchalantly, and looked back at the men and women in the cage.

Even though they were insane, Qing Chi could actually sense that the little fat man was their concern.It would be good for the little fat man to stop thinking about it. Running here secretly would be of no benefit to him.After the little fat man ran away, his parents seemed to be relieved, and turned around to fumble around elsewhere.

Then the village head brought the villagers over, and two more villagers fell ill. After the village head isolated the patients, he planned to lead Qingchi to Yizhuang to have a look.Before leaving, he went to the cage to take a look, with vicissitudes and sadness in his eyes, he must be looking at the little fat man's parents, his son and daughter-in-law.But he was helpless, the corpses that could not be burned were still parked in Yi Zhuang, this was the main purpose of inviting Qing Chi to come, those corpses were too evil, staying there for one more day would cause nights and dreams, they had to be dealt with as soon as possible.

When we arrived at Yizhuang, the sky was getting late, and the gloomy atmosphere became more and more intense.The village head was too old to be frightened, so he could only wait outside.Two brave villagers led Qingchi into Yizhuang.

There are twenty or thirty corpses parked in Yizhuang.As soon as I stepped in, there was an indescribable stench hitting my face, which was disgusting.Some of the faces covered by the white cloth were completely unrecognizable, while others were well preserved, but the bodies were also blue and purple.There are traces of fire on their bodies, and they really haven't been burned.

Qing Chi saw that something was wrong, the gathering of Yin Qi and resentment was difficult to disperse, it is strange if it is not evil, if the dead body is put down again, it should be transformed into a dead body, no wonder it can't be destroyed by burning!Probably because of inexplicable illness and death, he died uneasy, uneasy, and unwilling.

Qing Chi said: "Have the pits for burning the corpses been prepared?"

The villager said: "A hole has been dug three miles outside the village."

Qingchi put down the peach wood box, picked up the sleeve of Laodao robe and said: "Then let's do it tonight, Pindao will drive them over and burn them again." To burn this kind of corpse, you can't use ordinary fire.

The villagers heard what they wanted, so they hurried to prepare.The inside and outside of this Yizhuang is very cold, except for Qingchi, who would like to stay in this kind of place for a long time.Although this is a bit unkind, whoever called Qing Chi is the Taoist priest, aren't they?

Being a Taoist priest is really hard, not only the oil and water are low, but also the safety is low.In the past, it was the master who dealt with the dead, but now she had to do it herself.

Qing Chi suddenly felt that it would be better to be a Taoist priest, tell fortunes to others, sell blessing charms, and eat a living.This kind of high-risk work should be done by the old master!

Qingchi also doesn't like to stay here for too long, so he hastened to get things done tonight so he can leave.

So she opened the mahogany box, began to count the talisman papers, and arranged a few utensils.
