Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 76
In order to isolate from the outside world, not be affected by external factors, and study with peace of mind, the courtyard walls of Cuihu Bieyuan are generally built higher.

Only the backyard area has to be symmetrical with the front yard wall due to terrain reasons, so the height has been adjusted and is relatively low.

The coachman fell heavily from the wall of the front yard, and he was terrified and passed out on the spot. He didn't wake up until it was dark. When he saw the scene in the yard, he was so scared that his liver and gallbladder split.

He scrambled and ran out of the courtyard, terrified, and drove the carriage away quickly, intending to go back to report the news, but when he got to the city gate, because it was already dark and the city gate was closed, he couldn't enter the city at all.

I had no choice but to wait until dawn before making plans.

It was quiet all around, only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, the coachman huddled in the carriage, thinking of the tragic death of the master, he only felt lingering fear.

He had never seen such a scene in most of his life!
……

It's late at night after sending off black and white impermanence.

Xie Duan remembered Wang Ruizhi's words, the monster who killed him was named Liu Meiniang, she was a very beautiful woman on the outside, but in fact she was an evil ghost.

Including her painting of human skin in the room, Wang Rui also told Xie Duan. At this moment, Xie Duan suddenly recalled a story. Isn't this situation the same as "Painted Skin" in Liaozhai? ?

Painted skin!Painted skin!
It relies on human skin to maintain its human form.

From this point of view, the cultivation base should not be too strong.

After all, a monster with real Taoism can directly transform into a human form. Even so, he still dare not be careless.

Picking up the wine gourd on the table and shaking it, it has bottomed out.

Xie Duan was thoughtful, looked at the sky, and decided not to go back to Zhengming Residence, but to return to the busy market, and re-sold a gourd of wine.

In the way of making talismans, wine is an indispensable thing.

Of course, water can also be used, the specific situation depends on personal habits.

Wang Rui's body is still in the other courtyard of Cuihu Lake, and the monster is so ferocious, and its whereabouts are unknown, if it tries to harm others again, it will be a big disaster.

With the mentality of being just in case, Xie Duan decided to make a trip. Even if he couldn't find the trace of the monster, he could still collect the bones for him, but he didn't know if Mrs. Wang knew about it.

Today is the Hungry Ghost Festival. Although there is no curfew in the city, the city gates will still be closed. If it is not an emergency, the gates will not be opened.

So even if she knew the bad news, she couldn't go out right now, and she couldn't do anything except be sad and anxious.

But Xie Duan was different, the mere city wall could not stop him at all, now he climbed over the wall and left the city, and came to Cuihu Bieyuan not long after.

At first glance, the courtyard door is wide open, and everything is quiet.

Entering the courtyard, Wang Rui saw the corpse on the ground at a glance. Wang Rui's eyes were wide open, and his face was terrified, as if he had been greatly frightened before he died. There was a big hole in his chest, dripping with blood, and his heart disappeared.

Xie Duan frowned and stepped forward.

Suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw a yellow talisman folded into a triangle lying quietly under an apricot tree not far away, covered by a few fallen leaves, covering most of it.

Xie Duan reached out to pick up the yellow talisman, and looked at Wang Rui next to him.

"Good words are hard to persuade those who seek death."

He shook his head helplessly, knowing already in his heart.

Putting the yellow talisman back into the Qiankun bag, Xie Duan walked around in the courtyard.

Concentrate your thoughts, and move towards perception in all directions. There is a demonic aura left in the study, and also in the yard, but it disappears outside.

Moreover, the evil spirit in the courtyard was already very weak, he thought to himself, thinking that the evil spirits would come here often, so the remaining evil spirit would last longer.

People have popularity, and monsters have evil spirit.

Things grow old and become refined, no matter how they change, they cannot be separated from the essence.

As long as you turn into a ghost, you will have the evil spirit on your body, unless you are extremely skilled and can completely hide the evil spirit.

In this regard, ordinary people can't see anything at all.

Only those who practice Taoism can interact with the same type of breath after they have cultivated the spirit energy, and the deeper the Taoism, the stronger the power of induction.

To explain it in a simple way, it is like the signal frequency of a mobile phone. If the frequency is the same, you can answer the phone, and if the breath is the same, you can feel it.

This is also one of the reasons why mages of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism can accurately judge monsters without relying on magic weapons.

Now that the monster has disappeared, Xie Duan can't just chase after it aimlessly. After thinking about it, he has no choice but to deal with the matter in front of him first.

He searched around in the other courtyard, collected materials locally, pulled out a roll of straw mat from the couch in the study, wrapped Wang Rui's body, and finished coffining.

Think about it, since I went south to seek relatives, I have been dealing with dead bodies almost all the time, helping people collect corpses on the road, stealing money to survive, and now, I still can't escape, I really became a corpse collector!

Fortunately, he didn't care, and then went to check around.

……

Before you know it, the sky is getting brighter.

The coachman entered the city and hurried back to the old house of the Wang family.

As soon as Madam Wang told the news of Master's death, Madam Wang suddenly felt that the sky was dark and she couldn't catch her breath, and she fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, the attendant servant girl had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and helped her into the house, patted her back and rubbed her chest, poured a bowl of hot soup, and then woke up faintly.

"Old... lord..."

Mrs. Wang was so sad and excited that she couldn't even cry out loud. After a while, she burst into tears.

Yesterday, the husband and wife were in love, but today they are separated from each other. If this kind of thing happened, no one would be able to accept it.

Seeing her so distressed, the servant girl couldn't help but feel heavy. She stood aside and wiped away her tears, and at the same time kept comforting her, telling her to take care of her body.

"Ma'am, you have to make up your mind that the master has encountered such a catastrophe!"

Steward Zhai was also shocked when he heard the news.

Fortunately, he was conscious after all, and his mind was not disturbed by it. He came to Mrs. Wang's side and said while comforting her.

Mrs. Wang couldn't make a sound, she was confused, but after hearing what he said, she also knew that it was useless to just cry here, so she tried her best to control her emotions and gave him an order.

"Go... go and ask the second master to come over and ask him to help report to the officials. Let's go to the other courtyard first to see the master..."

The second master he was talking about was Wang Rui's brother.

After the family separation, several brothers and sisters of the Wang family have established their own families, only this younger brother is closer to them and gets along well.

When Butler Zhai heard the words, he nodded in response, and immediately went out to do it.

The coachman prepared the carriage, Mrs. Wang and the accompanying maids, and a few domestic servants, hurried out of the city, heading straight for the Green Lake Courtyard.

Along the way, Mrs. Wang's eyes were red, and she sobbed softly, feeling distraught in her heart.

After half an hour, the carriage stopped at the gate of the other courtyard.

Several servants stepped forward first, and were about to enter the door, but at this moment, a figure stepped out of the room and bumped into them.

Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to get down from the carriage, her heart was sad and frightened, she hadn't taken a step yet, she looked around and saw Xie Duan walking out of the house, her heart was shocked and she couldn't help feeling very puzzled.

Why is he here?
　Make up for yesterday's
