Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 24 A rogue drowned in the toilet

"Now that your great revenge has been avenged, your wish has been fulfilled. I cannot allow you to stay in the mortal world. I would like to advise you to go to the underworld as soon as possible."

Xu Yuanchang looked at the short mountain covered with red willows and said loudly,

Ordinary ghosts have their own territory and will not go out to harm people. Those who wander around are evil spirits and evil spirits.

If the place where the ghosts are entrenched is burned down and the geographical advantage is lost, it will be much easier to solve the problem.

A woman's ghostly scream was heard in the forest again: "One more thing, Hongliu Village must send someone to carry a gift. Go to my parents' house to confess and clear my name. Then I will disappear from the world and go to the netherworld... A few days ago, I begged for help. Gate, enter the blessed place of ancestral graves in Hongliu Village, and have a few good conversations with the incense family god. I am not afraid of losing my soul, even if we die together, please don't blame me if my words offend you."

The white-haired old man was so angry that his beard stood up. He pointed his crutch at the forest and shouted: "Liu Erniu's family affairs, how dare you upset our ancestors, you..."

You can imagine how dangerous the scene was when the innocent female ghost said, "Have you ever had such a good time"?

Damn it for almost destroying the incense family god that the Liu family had finally cultivated!

The clan leader of the Liu family was worried that he would kill the evil female ghost and die together with the family god. He hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Liu Hu clan, you can go in peace. I will send people to Hujia Village right now to apologize and restore your innocence. Take your bones out of the pool and find another place to bury them with splendor."

If an external evil invades, the family god can hide and cannot be found. After warning, the clan members will seek experts to deal with the external evil.

After all, that woman is still half a domestic ghost. The so-called domestic ghost is difficult to guard against and there is no way to hide.

This disaster must be resolved without leaving any trace behind.

Compared to the tranquility of the ancestral graves, what does mere face mean?
"Since you are being reasonable, Patriarch, I will go to the Netherworld with all the sisters at three o'clock tonight. There is no need to go to great lengths to fish out the bones. I will burn the forest clean with a fire, and then fill up the pool to avoid future troubles."

The female ghost's voice became calmer, and she was considerate of the village.

"Thank you Taoist Priest for upholding justice. I have nothing to repay. Hu Sanniang kowtows to you."

Sure enough, there was a "bang bang bang" sound of kowtows coming from the forest.

Xu Yuanchang looked pitiful, sighed, and said: "Go in peace, I will do this for you tonight. Dust will return to dust, earth will return to earth, and the past will be forgotten into the underworld."

There are sad songs and songs floating in the woods.

It gradually became thinner and became silent.

After rearranging the altar table and its items, Xu Yuanchang lit four more incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner after praying.

Looking at the straight line of incense mist, the sacrifice lost its luster very quickly.

Xu Yuanchang bowed his hands, turned around and said to the waiting people: "Go back, come back in the evening."

After walking some distance, the Liu clan leader asked in a low voice: "Taoist Master Xu, I want to ask you a question, how strong is the gangster in Qingshi Town? How should I deal with it?"

Liu Erniu was dragged into the pool by a female ghost and died without evidence.

Qingshi Town is not a three-quarter acre of land like Hongliu Village. If things get too big, it would be inappropriate to spread the family scandal.

Xu Yuanchang glanced at the nearby old men and said, "Since Hu Sanniang has no additional requirements, she will solve the matter on her own. Just wait and see what happens."

That mysterious being is willing to help Hu Sanniang and other wronged souls come forward to deal with the incense family god and cause such a big thing.

He guessed that before the third watch tonight, we would find out that the rogue was doomed.

The cruelest move was to ask for the red willow forest on the top of the mountain to be set on fire afterwards.

There may be residual aura in it, and it will be completely destroyed, leaving no clues.

"That's fine, that's fine."

The leader of the Liu clan was completely relieved and called a few smart and steady tribesmen to give some instructions and ordered them to quickly prepare generous gifts and compensation, and to rush to Hujia Village later.

Back in the village, Xu Yuanchang continued to live in that courtyard.

Looking back at the red willow tree outside the courtyard wall, there were branches and leaves swaying, and there was no trace of his presence.

There are countless ghosts, monsters and goblins in the world, each with its own way, and he has no interest in getting entangled and befriending each other.

With thoughts of good and evil, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

But one thing is for sure, the other person is not a human being.

He drinks tea leisurely and reads a book, and calmly exercises his mind. He has the ability to be self-possessed, does not cause trouble, and is not afraid of trouble. As a Taoist priest, he needs to be courageous and cautious in his actions.

As night falls, the tired bird returns to its nest.

Passersby on the streets of Qingshi Town are hurriedly walking, and the lights are gradually turning on.

Many shops began to close their doors, but two gambling shops on the east and west streets were brightly lit, and shouts and shouts could be heard in the distance.

A brawny man wearing a short coat with a big black mole on his left cheek lost ten games of Pai Gow in a row. His face was shiny. He threw the dominoes in his hand angrily, slapped the table and stood up, cursing: "I'm feeling really bad today. Go out and play." You're not even allowed to leave even if you're soaked in water. I'm waiting for you to turn my luck and kill everyone." "Go quickly, go quickly, don't be verbose."

"Wait a minute and wash those dirty paws of yours, so they don't get dirty."

Others were betting on prosperity and laughed and cursed.

Some people got up and went to other tables to watch the gambling game, while others drank some tea and bragged about their achievements to each other.

After waiting for a long time, it was already dark outside.

The impatient gambler cursed: "That kid He Er, could he have fallen into a pit and couldn't get out? It took him too damn long to get there."

"Haha, every time that kid loses some money, he gets angry by hitting the table and chairs. He makes a lot of nonsense. Hey, waiter, go to the toilet and urge that kid. Don't let him sneak away and make the men wait."

Soon, screams came from the backyard.

"It's not good, He...He Dazhuang fell into the pit and drowned...drowned!"

The whole gambling shop was suddenly in an uproar, and everyone ran out to watch.

People drowned in the latrine, which was a rare thing for a mother-in-law.

The gambling shop owner wanted to cry but had no tears.

The two Hongliu villagers who stayed in the town waiting for news heard such shocking news and ran to take a look. It was so miserable. The scoundrel smelled like a stinker, his face was filthy, his belly was bulging, and he was dead.

Evil nature, really evil nature.

With their scalp numb, the two of them hurriedly ran to the Liu family's shop in the town, took two donkeys, and hurried to the village.

It was not too late for Xu Yuanchang to get the news. He looked the same and continued to read books by the light.

He had expected the existence and actions of the people entrenched in the red willow forest.

The Liu clan leader and several clan elders, including the slightly haggard Liu Erye, were drinking tea and chatting in a pavilion in another luxurious courtyard when they heard the housekeeper running away with two sweaty men. When he came in to report the news, several people carefully asked for details.

At the end of the day, Chief Liu asked, "Has Taoist Xu left the courtyard today?"

The butler whispered: "I never left, I was always here."

"Go down."

The clan leader of the Liu clan waved his hand, waited for a few people to go out, and said: "Tonight, at midnight, we will all go and see the Liu Hu clan off. Alas, Liu Erniu has done something wrong. He still has a child left, alone and helpless."

He didn't mention it at all. Liu Erniu, half-covered with blood and slovenly, had accused his mother-in-law of stealing and immorality in the middle of the night with blood and tears. There were witnesses from the neighbors. He didn't interrogate Liu Hu and stopped the lynching in Shentan.

Several others said that they would burn more paper money, and so on.

At midnight, two rows of white lanterns were lit up near the red willow forest in the southwest of Hongliu Village, shining brightly.

Xu Yuanchang was lighting incense by the forest and reciting the "Purana Sutra" for salvation. One child, about 11 or 12 years old, was wearing sackcloth and wearing mourning. He knelt down and kept burning paper money into the brazier. He cried profusely and kept wiping his eyes with his sleeves.

More than ten people came from Hu Sanniang’s natal family. Their eyes were red and they were staring at the sky above the forest.

Suddenly the wind picked up.

The lanterns were blown wildly, the light and shadows were fluttering, and the trees in the whole forest were shaking their branches and making a whimpering sound.

The wind blew on people, and it was cold and cold, which immediately gave goosebumps to the villagers, men, women, and children who were watching the excitement. All the noise stopped, and the sound of the Taoist priests chanting sutras for salvation was still clear and clear.

"Look...it's coming on top of the short mountain."

"It's really coming."

There was a commotion among men, women, old and young.

A faint green light appeared on the top of the short mountain, and several shadows slowly emerged, floating translucently.

One of the figures was slightly clearer, kneeling down in the direction of the Taoist priest who was chanting sutras.

The female ghost can no longer speak.

The Taoist priest solemnly returned the gift with clasped fists and chanted sutras non-stop.

The shadow slowly dissipated, and the lights disappeared into the sky like fireflies.

Between heaven and earth, there is only one child left crying heartbrokenly:
"Mother...mother...don't leave Naer, don't leave me..."
