After a meal, Mr. Jiang spoke, "It's getting late, so I'll send the little master to rest!"

Fang Dou looked around and asked curiously, "Last time I met a maid named Xiaoyun, why didn't I see you?"

The wife's face turned paler, but Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "Xiao Yun has something to do at home, and she has already taken leave and went home!"

"That's fine!"

Fang Dou pointed at Fubao beside him, "This child was abducted and sold. After he was rescued, he kept clamoring to go home. According to his recollection, it was related to Jiangjiazhuang."

"Master Jiang can help?"

Mr. Jiang laughed and said, "There is no problem at all. Please stay for a few more days. I'll send someone out to investigate."

"How many days do you have to stay?" Fang Dou asked with concern.

"It will be seven or eight days later, is it fast, it will take five or six days!"

Fang Dou took Fubao to stay in the guest room for rest. Fubao was fussed during the day and fell asleep at night. He put the quilt on the bed and covered it with bedding.

When it was late at night, Fang Dou used the method of saving the 'animal way' and began to scan the traveling souls in all directions.

Regarding the maid Xiaoyun, Fang Dou always felt that this person was no longer alive and must be related to this matter.

Fang Dougang used his transformation, and the manor in front of him was shrouded in sorrow, with resentment in the air, and howlings of ghosts and wolves came one after another.

The missing arms and legs are missing, the eye sockets are black, the intestines are rotten, and all kinds of strange souls are obviously extremely tragic in their lives. They are full of resentment and have nowhere to vent their feelings. They wander around and cry and howl.

This is not the human world, it is simply a ghost cave.

"Sure enough, there is a problem!"

Fang Dou began to summon the surrounding souls, but his cultivation was still shallow, and those souls were too resentful and were only concerned about repeating "revenge", but no one paid attention to him.

"Huh!"

Among the souls floating around, Fang Dou suddenly saw someone. It was the old man who opened the door for him and took him out of the manor.

The old man held half of his body and crawled on the ground, dragging long blood marks out from behind.

"Old man, old man!"

Fang Dou found that the old man had just died shortly after he looked confused and was in a state of good communication. He tapped his fingers on his head.

The golden light disappeared into the soul, and the old man calmed down and his eyes returned to clear light. "Where am I? Haven't I been dead long ago?"

After seeing Fang Dou, he instantly understood and shouted, "Little Master, I'm wronged to die."

The old man began to tell the story. After seeing Fang Dou off, he was caught by Mr. Jiang and threw himself into the secret room pond under the rockery, feeding the ferocious beast under the water.

"The master practiced witchcraft and raised a fierce giant crocodile. He had to eat people every day, and even Xiaoyun was eaten!"

The old man was looking at the door and didn't know much. After saying a few words, he then repeated these words over and over again.

After hearing this, Fang Dou reached out and pressed his hand on the old man's head, intending to transform him into a state of destruction.

The golden light flashed a few times, and the old man's soul was still there, but he refused to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

"Old man, what's your concern?"

The old man clasped his hands together, "My little master, Jiangjiazhuang seems peaceful, but in fact it is a hell on earth. You are very compassionate. Can you save the life of this villager?"

I see!

Fang Dou finally understood that it is necessary to fulfill his unfulfilled wishes when he transformed his soul.

"Don't worry, I will definitely finish it!"

After the old man left, Fang Dou continued to communicate with his soul, and finally found the maid Xiaoyun among countless wronged souls.

Sure enough, Xiaoyun was also bad at it.

"My little master, if you can see me, you must be a master of enlightenment."

Xiaoyun's soul emerged and immediately knelt down to Fang Dou and began to tell the story of the causes and consequences.

"The master privately worships the demon god, feeding disobedient tenants and servants to the ferocious beasts under the water, and secretly buying children for blood sacrifice!"

Fang Dou's heart was thrilled, "Fubao?"

"Mr. Jiang did all his bad things and could not give birth to children. Every year, he bought a child from other places and named him Fubao, claiming to be his own child, the young master of Jiangjiazhuang."

"However, every sixth day of the sixth month, he would take Fubao and disappear for a while, saying that he would go to sacrifice to the family god. When he came back, he was the only one left, and Young Master Fubao was gone."

When Fang Dou heard this, he finally understood that there was not only one Fubao.

"In other words, there is no young master in Jiangjiazhuang, only one Fubao per year!"

Xiaoyun nodded, "The young master you brought is Fubao this year. If he hadn't been abducted by human traffickers, it would have been a disaster."

"At that time, Mr. Jiang was furious and executed several servants. He hurriedly bought a child from another place, saying that the young master was still there and was not lost!"

Fang Dou sighed. Fubao was not a child from Jiangjiazhuang, or in other words, there was never a young master in Jiangjiazhuang, only a boy used to sacrifice.

Some folk blood sacrifices have left behind ancient bad habits and require the best quality of boys and girls.

It should be noted that the land in the south of the Yangtze River was a wilderness in ancient times, with witchcraft legacy prevalent. In many places, there was the custom of living people to worship the mountain gods and water gods.

The county government sent a letter to him, but it must have fallen into the hands of his wife. Then Fang Dou came to the door, and the wife secretly intercepted him and sent Fang Dou and the others to leave, most of the reason for their conscience to save Fubao's life.

However, I couldn't hide it from Mr. Jiang, which implicated Xiaoyun and the old man were killed.

"Which evil god is your master worshiping?"

Fang Dou asked this, but there was no reason. Now the three families are emerging. In order to compete for the people's hearts, they have cracked down on ancient evil gods and wiped out the legacy of witchcraft.

The sacrifices include three animals, "pig, cattle and sheep", and it is also advocated to have cooked sacrifices. Not to mention the blood sacrifice of living people, even fresh chicken, duck, cattle and sheep are gradually missing.

Only in the army's war still retains the custom of killing cattle and sacrificing flags.

Xiaoyun shook her head, "I don't know."

She is not a confidant, and she can only know so much.

After Fang Dou waved away Xiaoyun's soul, he began to think about countermeasures.

...

In a dark underground, Mr. Jiang knelt on the dilapidated altar and prayed devoutly.

"Master Dragon God, the ninth day of the ninth month is coming, and there will be no loss this time. The sacrifices will be delivered regularly."

On the altar, gusts of cold wind bulged and fell to Mr. Jiang's head.

"Ahhh!"

Blood-colored cracks appeared on Mr. Jiang's face, his skin and flesh were cracked, and blood was dripping down, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

"Give me your life, spare me your life. The last time I lost my offering, it was just an accident."

In the dark wind, a magical voice sounded.

"Idiot, it's three months late. This sacrifice must be doubled, otherwise, fill it with your own flesh and blood!"

Mr. Jiang kowtowed repeatedly, "Master, enough sacrifices, enough sacrifices, two, two are sent here this time!"

He remembered Fang Dou and said, "A monk involved in this matter. Master, how should I deal with it?"

The altar was silent for a long time, "Take him and solve it together!"

"Abide by the order!"

Mr. Jiang rolled and crawled, knelt respectfully at the altar, and left the underground cave.
