After Sun Xianzong introduced the situation of the female ghost, he implored: "Sir, you see that this female ghost is quite pitiful and her nature is indeed not bad. Why not let her stay in our Demon Suppression Department? It is worse than letting her go." When you are a wandering ghost, you are either enslaved by someone, or you go astray and become an evil ghost."
Zhu Xiucai and others followed Qin Shaoyou. After listening to the introduction about the female ghost, they also began to persuade Qin Shaoyou to keep the female ghost.
Zhu Xiucai said: "Sir, please let this female ghost stay. There are many people who can help us wash and clean... uh, ghosts are also good. Anyway, the blood and fire of the brothers are strong, no matter how yin she is.
It's heavy and can't hurt us. And Lao Sun also said just now that in our monk's yamen, if there is a woman, whether she is a human, a ghost or a demon, it can greatly increase the enthusiasm of the brothers to practice.
"
That is to say, the female ghost is still beside him, and he needs to cultivate his moral character, otherwise he will have to say a few risqué words at this moment.
Shan Daonian analyzed: "Sir, since this female ghost can move freely in our Demon Suppression Department, it means there is nothing wrong with her nature, otherwise the Patriarch Statue would have destroyed her long ago."
Qin Shaoyou nodded slightly.
Indeed, there is a statue of the Jiutian Demon Patriarch in the Mianyuan County Demon Town.
Since this female ghost can appear here and, as Sun Xianzong said, help the night watchman wash and sweep, it means that she has no problem in the 'political review'.
Otherwise, one of her and the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch will definitely die.
Even Monk Ma said: "Sir, I also think we can keep this female ghost. In this way, we can not only find a way to save her and let her die in bliss, but also prevent her from falling into the trap like what Lao Sun said."
If you follow evil paths or are persecuted and manipulated by evil people, you can still be considered as a precautionary measure."
After that, he clasped his hands towards the female ghost, recited 'Amitabha', and then said: "Donor female, don't be afraid, I will save you sooner or later."
Zhu Xiucai, Shan Daonian and others were all speechless.
They had seen the scene where Monk Ma was waving his war hammer while shouting, "Let me save you," so they all tried to persuade him: "Monk, if you can't speak, just shut your mouth. No matter what you say, it will sound scary."
"
The female ghost seemed to be frightened and took a step back, causing Monk Ma to touch his bald head in embarrassment and even said that he had no other intention but simply wanted to save the souls of the dead.
After listening to everyone's persuasion, Qin Shaoyou also had an idea in his mind.
He looked at the female ghost and asked, "Are you willing to stay in the Demon Suppression Department?"
After thinking carefully for a moment, the female ghost nodded and expressed her willingness.
When Zhu Xiucai and others saw this, they immediately beamed.
Qin Shaoyou glared at these people, and then said: "Okay, you can stay in our Mianyuan County Demon Town Division for the time being, and we will find a way to help you go to the Netherworld. But you stay in our Demon Town Division
If you are here, you must obey the rules of our Demon Suppression Department, especially one of them, you must not do anything harmful to others, do you understand?"
The female ghost nodded again.
"What's your name? Do you still remember it?" Qin Shaoyou asked.
I don’t know the name, so it’s really inconvenient to address her. You can’t just call her a ghost every time, right? How disrespectful.
It's not good to call him a dead ghost, it's somewhat unserious.
But after asking, Qin Shaoyou smiled bitterly again: "I almost forgot that you can't speak."
The female ghost really couldn't speak, but she took a step back and tapped the ground with her toes.
Qin Shaoyou looked around and saw that the water on the ground turned into two words: Qiurong.
"Qiurong? Is this your name?" Qin Shaoyou asked.
The female ghost Qiurong nodded.
Qin Shaoyou didn't expect this female ghost to be able to write. It seemed that when she was alive, she must have gone to school and could read and write.
Zhu Xiucai was also looking at the two characters on the ground, and praised with a smile: "The characters are well written, and the name is also well chosen. As the saying goes, a beautiful woman can change her beauty forever with a pot of wine. Your name is quite poetic...
…”
His words were stuck here.
Because after the female ghost Qiurong heard his praise, not only was she not happy, she even took a few steps back.
What does it mean?
I'm praising you with a smile, why are you still scared?
Is it because you don’t understand compliments? Or is my smile really that scary?
Zhu Xiucai was stunned, and the smile on his face froze.
Qin Shaoyou and others suppressed their laughter.
And when Zhu Xiucai turned to look at them, they had to act like, "We have received professional training and will never laugh." It was really hard.
After exhaling a breath, Qin Shaoyou held back his laughter, patted Zhu Xiucai on the shoulder, and said: "Tomorrow, take a few people to find out which village Qiurong is from and see if there are any relatives in her family. Try
Can we find out from the mouths of these relatives the reason why she is detained in the human world and cannot go to the underworld?"
"Yes." Zhu Xiucai accepted the order, and at the same time, he turned to the female ghost Qiurong and said: "I may be a little ugly, but I am definitely a good person."
This time, the female ghost Qiurong was not frightened by him, but instead bowed to him.
I don't know whether he was apologizing for his reaction just now, or thanking him for helping him investigate the reason for his detention.
After making arrangements for the female ghost Qiurong, Qin Shaoyou walked towards the lobby where the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch was enshrined, preparing to offer incense to the Patriarch to thank him for his help and taking the blame.
On the way, he asked Sun Xianzong: "Did anything happen during the few days we were away?"
Sun Xianzong reported on the official affairs of the past few days, and everything seemed to be going smoothly.
After the report, he said to Monk Ma: "A caravan came to Mianyuan County two days ago and brought a letter to you, saying that it was from the provincial capital and entrusted another caravan to help.
As a result, the people from that caravan went to Luocheng Town Yaosi to inquire and found out that you had arrived in Mianyuan County, so they asked them to bring you over."
"A letter to me? Or from the provincial capital?"
Monk Ma looked stunned.
"I don't have any relatives or friends in the provincial capital."
Everyone was also curious and immediately urged Sun Xianzong to get the letter.
When Monk Ma opened the letter, the surprise on his face quickly turned into a smile.
Zhu Xiucai put his head around to read: "Who sent the letter? What did it say? It makes you so happy."
Monk Ma smiled and said, "It's a letter from the dancing girl in the provincial capital."
"Provincial capital? Dancer?"
Zhu Xiucai was stunned for a moment, then he realized: "That's the dancing girl to whom you gave all your money? Why is she writing to you?"
Although Zhu Xiucai was not able to follow the last trip to the provincial capital, after Monk Ma and others returned, he heard a lot about what happened during the trip to the provincial capital from his colleagues.
There is a story about Monk Ma, who met a dancing girl in a sand dance hall whose parents were seriously ill and needed treatment, and her younger siblings were still young and needed to be raised.
"That's her."
Monk Ma smiled and nodded.
"Her parents' illness has improved, so she specially asked someone to write this letter to tell me and express her gratitude to me."
Qin Shaoyou, Shan Daonian, Sun Xianzong and others couldn't help but look at each other.
Before, they all thought that Monk Ma was deceived, but now it seems that Monk Ma really did a good deed.
Although it failed to persuade people to be good, it gave people hope to live, which can be regarded as a great merit.
No wonder Master Suquan said that he has wisdom and a connection with Buddha. He was indeed right.
Qin Shaoyou sighed in his heart, patted Monk Ma on the shoulder, and strode into the lobby where the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch was enshrined.
The night watchmen filed in behind him.
What Qin Shaoyou didn't expect was that the female ghost Qiurong also followed in holding an umbrella.
It seems that there is really no problem with her 'political review'.
The statue of the Patriarch of Jiutiandang Demon in the lobby stared at Qin Shaoyou as soon as he saw him coming in, with four big words in his eyes: Serve the food quickly!
