Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 66 The Sad Thrush

In fact, not to mention the neighbors, even Ning Caichen and other students were extremely surprised.

Qiao Sheng lay quietly in the coffin, with no sign of life at all.

So, why does the sir say that he is not dead?

"Come on, come over and take a closer look..."

Zhou Yu called a group of students to gather around the coffin and start explaining.

"From last night to now, after such a long time, although Qiao Sheng's body has no body temperature, his skin is still elastic..."

Some students had the courage to reach out and press it, and it was true.

"Usually, a few hours after a person dies, rigor and body spots will appear, but obviously, Qiao Sheng did not show these characteristics.

The important thing is that you look into his eyes..."

Zhou Yu opened Qiao Sheng's eyelids for the students to observe.

"Huh? Strange..."

Some students exclaimed.

Once a person dies, the pupils will expand until they become white and cloudy, like the eyes of a dead fish.

However, after Qiao Sheng opened his eyelids, he was no different from ordinary people, with black and white distinct, not cloudy, but slightly bloodshot.

Some students were surprised and said: "This is strange... Sir, if Mr. Qiao is not dead, why is his body so cold, and he can't feel a pulse at all."

Yu Hou murmured, "Could it be the legendary suspended animation?"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "There is only one explanation for such a situation. This is just a body, and his soul is gone."

All the neighbors looked at each other in blank dismay.

Because they don't understand, what is the difference between a person without a soul and a dead person?
When a person dies, the body becomes a corpse, and the soul becomes a ghost, doesn't it?
"What happened to Qiao Sheng?"

Zhou Yu turned to the neighbors and asked.

"Oh, it's a long story..."

A neighbor sighed and began to tell the story between Qiao Sheng and Liancheng.

After a few neighbors added, the group finally understood the cause and effect.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but glanced at Qiao Sheng who was lying in the coffin, feeling a lot.

After all, he also crawled out of the coffin in the first place, so it can be said that he has the same disease...

"Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death.

There are two flying passengers from the north to the south, and the old wings return to the cold and heat a few times.

Joy is fun, parting is bitter, and there are even more idiotic children..."

If it weren't for being in the mourning hall, the students couldn't help shouting loudly again.

Especially Ning Caichen, shed a line of tears unknowingly because of the sentence "Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death to promise each other".

Because, he thought of Xiaolan.

"Sir, what should we do now? Is there any way to help Teacher Qiao recall the soul?"

"The person who tied the bell is needed to untie the bell. You should watch here and go to the Shifu for the teacher."

Not long after, Zhou Yu came to Shifu and handed over a famous post saying: "Please tell your master that Zhou came here for the matter of Qiao Sheng and your young lady."

Master Shi looked at the name post and heard what the servants said, he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried out to greet him immediately.

"I don't know that Mr. is here, but I am far away to welcome you..."

"Master Shi is polite..."

After entering Shi's mansion, Zhou Yu was too lazy to be polite, and said straight to the point: "Master Shi, Zhou is here for Qiao Sheng..."

Before Zhou Yu could finish speaking, Master Shi couldn't help sighing: "I'm ashamed, I'm also very responsible for Qiao Sheng's death."

"No, Qiao Sheng is not dead yet."

"Ah? What do you mean, sir?"

"For some reason, his soul is no longer in his body, so if Zhou wants to ask Miss Liancheng, maybe he will gain something."

Master Shi looked shocked: "The soul is not in the body? What do you mean, sir, Qiao Sheng didn't die, but just lost his soul?"

"Yes, that's the symptom right now. But it's not too late. If the soul leaves for too long, it will really die."

Upon hearing this, Master Shi didn't think much about it, and hurriedly led Zhou Yu to the backyard.

While walking, he said with a wry smile: "The little girl is currently in a very bad state, sometimes unconscious and sometimes awake, and she doesn't say a word."

"It's okay, Mr. Zhou knows a little bit about medicine, so he can help with the diagnosis."

"Excellent, thank you sir."

The two entered the boudoir together, Liancheng fell asleep while Xiaolian sat on the edge of the bed sobbing with her eyes red and swollen.

Seeing the master coming in, he quickly got up and gave a blessing.

"Oh...Xiao Lian, Miss, hasn't woken up all this time?"

"No……"

"It's okay, I'll take the pulse first."

Zhou Yu stepped forward and grabbed Liancheng's wrist to feel his pulse...

"Ok?"

"What's the matter, sir?"

"It's strange, Ling Qianjin has a kind of... evil aura in her body."

"Evil spirit?" Master Shi's face changed in shock: "Could it be... that Liancheng is bewitched by an evil spirit?"

"I see... Did the monk from the Western Regions practice Dharma in this room before?"

"That's right! Sir, the old man remembered it when you said that. The old man always felt that the monk from the Western Regions was a little...

It's hard to describe that feeling anyway.

Therefore, the last time my daughter's condition relapsed, my wife asked to find the monk, but the old man refused to agree, and instead found a doctor named Fan. "

"Hehe, since Master Shi thinks so, it probably means that there is something wrong with this monk from the Western Regions."

At this time, Xiao Lian couldn't help but said: "He just has a problem..."

Master Shi lowered his face and scolded: "Xiao Lian!"

"Master, it's not that Xiao Lian doesn't understand the rules, it's just...it's just a matter of great importance, Xiao Lian has to say it."

"Oh? What are you hiding?"

Xiao Lian knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and said in a sobbing voice: "Master, Xiao Lian didn't hide it, Xiao Lian actually told Miss.

On the day when the monk from the Western Regions treated the young lady, Xiao Lian overheard his secret conversation with the prince.

What did you say to make the lady forget about Qiao Sheng, and what did you say to add the prince's hair to the medicine, so that the lady fell in love with the prince..."

"Hateful! Really hateful!"

After hearing what Xiaolian said, Master Shi trembled with anger.

"If you say that, that monk from the Western Regions must be a demon monk...Leave him alone, I'll prescribe a prescription first, and hurry up and give it to Miss Liancheng."

"Choo Choo Choo……"

At this time, the thrush outside the window kept calling.

Master Shi frowned: "Xiao Lian, go and see what's going on with that thrush? What are you barking about?"

"Yes."

"Wait..." Zhou Yu waved his hands and listened for a moment: "There is something wrong with this bird, I'll go and have a look."

Xiao Lian was taken aback: "No way? This is Miss's favorite thrush, and it has been raised for two or three years."

When Zhou Yu came outside, the thrush fluttered even more violently, as if it wanted to commit suicide in the cage.

"Xiaomei, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Lian ran forward to pick up the cage, trying to appease the thrush.

Master Shi said impatiently: "What's the fuss at this time, cover it up."

"Don't worry, let me see..." Zhou Yu leaned forward, and the thrush suddenly fell silent.

What's even more amazing is that tears flowed from his eyes.

"This……"

Xiao Lian was shocked.

But what shocked her even more was that
Zhou Yu suddenly asked, "Qiao Sheng, is that you?"
