Competing

Chapter 3 Mental Damage Fee

For five consecutive days, the door of Wu Zhong's house, the head of the pavilion, would be knocked late at night, and no one was there when the door was opened.Once or twice is enough. After many times in a row, everyone will inevitably feel suspicious. This is a typical ghost knocking on the door of the Wu family in the middle of the night, obviously doing something bad.Some people even secretly accused the Wu family of bringing disaster to Xiangxi Town. If it wasn't for the fact that they still have the identity of the pavilion chief, they might have been driven away.

Wu Youcai's family not only couldn't sleep peacefully at night, but they were also suspicious and frightened by the ghost knocking on the door, coupled with the rumors and accusations in the town.The mental pressure was huge for a while, and it happened that the county captain had confessed the matter, and the Wu family father and son only had to hold on with their tired bodies.Mrs. Ma was frightened, and her already ruined face was even more unsightly.Even for a long time, the Wu family father and son really didn't want to get close to him, this boudoir hunger and thirst was really unbearable!
Yin Xu threw down the last eel bone, shook his head with a smile, and said to himself: "Superstition is really harmful!" Then he shook his head and said: "No, it should be said that the power of science is infinite. Ha ha!"

At this moment, the listless and yawning Wu Youcai came to the door. Yin Xu was very surprised and thought: Could it be that he was discovered?Shouldn't you be free to find fault with me at this time?
Sure enough, Wu Youcai didn't pay attention to Yin Xu when he came in, or more precisely, he couldn't pay attention to him even if he wanted to.He went straight to the statue of the Goddess, ordered someone to clean it, and servants brought meat and fruit.

Oh!Yin Xu understood now that Wu Youcai was asking God to worship Buddha!

The Wu family has been exhausted and panicked by the "ghost calling at the door in the middle of the night" recently, but there is nothing they can do.The rumors about ghosts spread wildly, and the Wu family had no choice but to believe the so-called three people becoming tigers.I don't know who came up with the idea to invite the gods to frighten the ghosts, so everyone naturally thought of the dilapidated Goddess Temple, the only god in Xiangxi Town.

Yin Xu shook his head secretly, thinking: This will do a lot of harm to the Wu family!But this is what they deserve.As the saying goes, don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. If your Wu family behaves rightly and walks well, are you afraid of something?Now he is so frightened and frightened, it is obvious that he has done something wrong, and Dong Lai really sees it in his eyes, the law of heaven is clear, and the retribution is not good!

Seeing Wu Youcai shrugging his head again, kneeling down and prostrating, Yin Xu shook his head again, and sighed inwardly, "Praying for gods and offering sacrifices are so impious, at least they're just pretending!"In this way, can the goddess agree?What's more, I don't see people coming to worship on weekdays. Now, when I come here to hug God's feet, is it useful?

Immediately, he had a thought, and thought of a trick, looking at Wu Youcai with an evil smile, you deserve it, who made you offend me?

Yin Xu walked out from the side hall and said with a smile: Isn't this a talented brother?Is there anything to ask for in worshiping the goddess?
Wu Youcai raised his head, glanced at Yin Xu with listless eyes, and cursed in a low voice: "You're looking for a fight, right? Get out of here, don't hinder me!"

"Oh, don't worry, Brother Youcai!" Yin Xu laughed and said, "I also know what you are doing, Brother Youcai, but it's just futile like you!"

Ok?Seeing Yin Xu's calm and disapproving expression, Wu Youcai wanted to explode, but he staggered due to the exhaustion of the past few days and almost fell down.

"Brother talented, don't get excited, just talk if you have something to say!"

Wu Youcai breathed a sigh of relief, and asked angrily, "What do you want to say?
Yin Xu said leisurely: "What do I want to say? I want to say that it's too late for you to beg the Goddess now. What did you do before? You only remember to worship when you have something to ask for. If you have nothing to do, you don't care about a row of asses. Piety! Piety Do you understand?"

Wu Youcai was stunned, and Yin Xu smiled and said, "It's the first time you come back to worship, and it's definitely not enough to ask for the protection of the goddess. There is a compromise method that you can try."

"What way?" Wu Youcai went to the doctor in a hurry.

Yin Xu pretended to be mysterious and said: "Actually, there is someone in our town who has always believed in the Goddess. He was lucky enough to get advice and know some spells. You can ask for this person, and he will respond to your requests."

"Oh? Who?"

"Far in the sky, right in front of you!"

"Uh..." Wu Youcai said in astonishment for a while, "You don't know how to talk about yourself, do you?"

Yin Xu bowed his head and smiled softly: "It's just me, and I'm the only one who lives here and worships the goddess every day. I have this ability. Although you injured me a few days ago, you all live in the town, and you can't look up. See, I'd still like to help."

"Do you really have a solution?" Wu Youcai asked hastily after being tortured enough.

Yin Xu smiled and said: "Yes, but you also know that it is indispensable to worship the goddess and reward the gods every day."

Wu Youcai recalled that Donglai had witnessed his ugly appearance, and the incident of hurting someone a few days ago, and he felt a little perturbed and puzzled.But he couldn't bear the annoyance of ghosts knocking on the door.Qiang cheered up and said: "If you can handle this matter well, rewards will naturally be indispensable, but if you play tricks or you can't solve it, you will look good."

"Don't worry, I, Yin... Donglai will come out, and it will be a success, just wait!"

In the afternoon of that day, when Yin Xu appeared at the gate of Wu's house, no one knew who let the wind go. There were three layers of villagers watching at the gate of Wu's house.

Wu Zhong was very embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do. Hearing what his son had said, he asked Yin Xu to try it.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yin Xu asked the servants of the Wu family to bring a basin of clean water, and saw Donglai doing various movements on top of the wooden basin.Yin Xu thought to himself: If I knew it earlier, I would have learned to dance, but now I can only learn the spellcasting moves in film and television dramas, just like the gourd.

It didn't take long before Yin Xu ordered: "This is divine water, just mix it with a few buckets of clean water and wash the door well!"

"Is that all right?" Mrs. Ma asked in surprise.

"Well, we will see the outcome tonight. If it comes true, I will also ask Wu Tingchang to pay the fee of two gold rewards to the gods."

"Two gold?" That's a lot of money!
Yin Xu said: "It's only two gold. If this matter can be resolved and the whole family can be kept safe and healthy, I don't think Pavilion Chief Wu will mind."

Wu Zhong had had enough these few days, put on the posture of a strong man breaking his wrist, and said in a deep voice: "If it is true, the reward is natural."

That night, Yin Xu stayed behind with a few bold young men in the town, guarding the living room with Wu's father and son.Sure enough, I never heard the sound of a ghost knocking on the door all night, and various rumors spread all over Xiangxi Town, such as the magic of the divine water, and the fairy art Yin Xu understands.Everyone remembered the incident of Yin Xu's resurrection from the dead a few days ago, and they all believed that Donglai was enlightened by the goddess' blessing.The most direct result is that the incense in the Goddess Temple has flourished again.

Hearing the rumors, Yin Xuzhi smiled. In his previous life, he saw on a certain forum that eel blood and blood smelled so strong that people couldn't detect it, but it could attract bats at night.The eel blood was smeared on the door, and the bats would keep hitting the door. When the door was opened, the bats were frightened and flew away, and there was nothing.In the ignorant ancient times, when encountering this scene at night, it would naturally be regarded as a ghost knocking on the door, and the fear it aroused can be imagined.As for the pot of divine water, there was nothing there, but to wash away the eel blood on the door with clean water. If the bats stopped coming, naturally there would be no "ghost knocking on the door".

It's scary not knowing science!Yin Xu shook the two pieces of gold in his hand, and thought: The jade pendant last time was considered as medical expenses, but this time I have worked so hard for so long, it should be considered as mental damage expenses!
