At noon the next day, some passers-by discovered the murder in the Zhangjia Inn. They were so frightened that they hurriedly reported it to the county government. When the police arrived, the couple came to conduct an autopsy. After examining the scene, they all turned pale and looked at each other.
The results of the autopsy revealed that Zhang Yuan and Zhang died suddenly of fear and without any external injuries. Apart from the traces of Zhang Yuan swinging an ax, there were no other signs of a fight in the inn. This made them feel strange and unbelievable, and reminded them of what they had heard.
All kinds of ghost legends in the past have just shown themselves like this.
Later, a child's corpse was found from the kitchen of the Zhang's Inn, and numerous bones were dug out from the soil in the backyard, proving that the Zhangs and his wife were guilty of running a black shop to make money and kill people, and they also used the pedestrians they killed as secret weapons.
Selling fresh meat is a heinous crime.
When the news spread, within a day, the county was filled with a foul stench and vomit was everywhere.
Everyone gradually calmed down and thought about the cause and effect. They all speculated that the death of Zhang Yuan and his wife was the revenge of ghosts. This case became the first of the ten most terrifying legends within a hundred miles.
…………
All the way through the city and the mansion, Shi Xuan's consciousness was slightly expanded, and he could absorb people's murderous intentions. Except for a few things that needed to be pushed by himself to make the murderous intentions stronger, he didn't waste much time, and almost finished it in half a month.
The collection of human murderous intent is complete, only a few types are missing.
On this day, Shi Xuan walked into a bustling and bustling city. While observing quietly and having a leisurely attitude, he enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the world that was different from the world of cultivation. People came and went, bumping into each other, and sometimes they jumped out of the ordinary.
The environment you are in can better reflect your own body, grasp your own state of mind, and not be blinded by simple things and constrain your soul. This is why there are often old monsters and powerful people playing games in the world of mortals.
"This Taoist priest, can you give me a fortune?" A middle-aged man with a lot of servants, servants, guards, brocade robes and jade belts, a distinguished and wealthy middle-aged man came with a spring breeze on his face. He has been having a lot of happy events recently, and he is about to celebrate.
Shou Guan burned incense to fulfill his wish, but when he was heading out of the city, he suddenly saw Shi Xuan walking leisurely. He felt that this young Taoist priest in a blue robe had an indescribable sense of being free from vulgarity. His heart moved, so he took his entourage up.
Ask the hexagram before.
Shi Xuan put his hands behind his back and walked slowly. He had not thought about what little things he would encounter, so he did not expect that such a good friend would suddenly come in to ask questions. He was quite surprised. He did not hold a hand with a sign that said "Iron mouth cuts straight".
Or the banner of "Fortune Telling and Character Testing".
"I wonder how this official came to know that Pindao knows how to tell fortunes?" Since he was so destined, Shi Xuan looked at the middle-aged man, thought for a few times in his mind, made some calculations, and then asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man bowed his head and said with a sincere smile: "Hao Changshou, I saw that the Taoist priest was very handsome, so I took the liberty to come up and ask for advice."
The servants, handymen, guards, etc. who followed him expressed disdain. The master was really overjoyed. He even randomly invited a wild Taoist priest to tell fortunes on the road. What could he figure out? Generally speaking, such fortune tellers,
They all used false threats first, frightening people to death, and then easily extorted money. Moreover, this person didn't even have flags and flags. He obviously saw the opportunity coming and followed the stick to kill snakes. How could he have real skills?!
"Exceptor Hao, I see your hall is darkened and you have evil eyebrows. You will be in danger of death within three days." Shi Xuan had a bad taste and casually said a few fortune tellers' terms, setting aside what he had just calculated.
After that, and this incident can just capture the missing element in people's murderous intention.
Those guards and servants almost laughed out loud. They were really threatening, and they used the most common and vulgar comments. Is it time for the master to wake up?
Hao Changshou naturally had an undercurrent of anger in his heart: "I saw that you are extraordinary, and I came up to ask for help with good intentions. If you don't know how to calculate, just tell me directly, why are you entertaining me?" But on the surface, he suppressed his dissatisfaction. After all, it was him.
He took the initiative to come to the door and said calmly: "Oh, I wonder if there is a way to resolve the disaster?" He didn't take Shi Xuan's criticism to heart just now, and just wanted to send the Taoist priest away quickly.
Shi Xuan grabbed it casually and pinched out a light yellow talisman out of thin air: "Within three days, if you have a drink after a meal, just hold it in your hand."
"Well, thank you very much, Taoist priest. I wonder how many taels of silver are needed for this talisman?" Seeing that things developed as he expected, Hao Changshou's tone became a little cold, with anger hidden inside.
Shi Xuan threw the talisman over and chuckled twice: "You and I are destined." Then he continued to walk forward leisurely, and within a few breaths, he disappeared into the crowd of people on the street.
Hao Changshou caught the light yellow talisman in a daze, and his mind was filled with thoughts. He did not expect that the young Taoist priest would not take any money. Could it be that what he said was true? His life would be in danger within three days?!
One of the attendants saw the master's changing expression and said boldly: "Maybe the Taoist priest wants to take a long-term approach to catch big fish?"
"But if no disaster comes, then the Taoist priest can no longer come to the door shamelessly? From my perspective, three days will pass quickly anyway. I would rather believe that it is something than something that is not true." Another guard followed and said.
Hao Changshou nodded. It is really better to believe that this kind of thing happened than to believe that it did not happen: "Don't spread this matter to others. If there is no disaster, it will make people laugh."
…………
On the first day, there is peace and quiet; on the second day, there is no disaster or disaster; on the third day, there is peace and tranquility.
Just when Hao Changshou was about to put the matter behind him and was about to wash up and go to bed, his wife, Hao Xiao, who had been missing for a while, personally brought several plates of side dishes and a pot of rice wine. Pingping Tingting entered the room, and her three
She was in her teens but looked like a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. She was so beautiful and graceful that Hao Changshou cherished her heart.
"Madam, what do you mean? Do you want to drink wine again?" Hao Changshou joked with a smile. The two of them have a deep relationship. Their hair has been married for many years and it is still as good as glue. They are like a newlywed couple, so Hao Changshou
Changshou, a powerful and wealthy man, has had no other sexual affairs in the past twenty years except that he took a concubine because his wife had difficulty giving birth.
Hao Xiao smiled and said: "Master, have you forgotten that tonight is the night of the full moon? How can you not drink some wine and enjoy the moon?"
"Hey, I really forgot, madam, don't be surprised." Hao Changshou stood up and walked to the table beside the bed, but suddenly, he remembered the Taoist priest's comment, "Drink after dinner? Within three days? Could the disaster be here?
!But how could Madam harm me? Is she also a victim?"
With the attitude of preferring to believe that it exists rather than believe that it does not exist, Hao Changshou took out the talisman and held it in his palm.
After a while of drinking while admiring the moon, Hao Xiao became overwhelmed with alcohol, his face was filled with peach blossoms, he was dripping with sweat, and his beauty was on full display. Hao Changshou was so drunk that he felt dizzy and wanted to lean in, but he passed out drunk.
Hao Changshou felt dizzy and his eyes were completely dark. Suddenly, a pale yellow light lit up, and he suddenly woke up. He broke free from the darkness and found himself lying on the table.
He laughed at himself first and thought to himself: "I'm old, I can get drunk so quickly! Er, where is Madam?"
Seeing that there was no trace of his wife Hao Xiao at the table, on the bed, or behind the screen, Hao Changshou panicked, "Is this the calamity that the Taoist priest was talking about?" Before he could finish his thoughts, he suddenly saw the bright moonlight shining brightly outside the window.
Gathering together, a figure appears within it.
"Madam?" Hao Changshou was confused and ran out happily. When he reached the yard, he was stunned, horrified, frightened and unbelievable.
In the light ball formed by countless cold rays of light, there was a monster with the head of a human and the body of a wolf. It was one foot long and two people tall, with white hair standing on end. Its face was familiar to Hao Changshou, who shared the same bed with him.
Hao Xiao, his wife of twenty years, had a beautiful face that was twisted and ferocious, as if she was enduring great pain.
She turned around and saw Hao Changshou, with a complex expression in his eyes. Hao Changshou somehow understood the extreme pain, desolation, sorrow, despair, and prayer, which touched people's hearts.
But being too surprised, Hao Changshou took a few steps back and muttered: "Weird, monster..."
It seemed that Hao Xiao could no longer control herself. She howled at the moon, and even her head turned into a huge wolf head with red eyes. She stepped towards Hao Changshou. Although she tried her best to control it, she still moved forward with difficulty.
After retreating continuously, Hao Changshou was frightened and did not pay attention to the steps. He fell to the ground and was unable to move in the face of the approaching wolf demon. He was left with endless despair and fear.
But at this moment, a light yellow light flew out from his hand and covered the body of the wolf demon transformed by Hao Xiao. As the light flickered, it turned back into a human body and curled up on the ground. It was in extreme pain but could not move even a single hair.
finger.
Everything before was like a nightmare. Hao Changshou slapped himself in disbelief, but in the end he believed everything he saw with his own eyes.
"You monster, Ju, you actually want to harm me. Look, let's see if I don't kill you!" Hao Changshou held up the light yellow talisman with murderous intent and gritted his teeth as he tried to stick it to it.
But halfway through, he saw the loving, sad, desolate and desperate look in Hao Xiao's eyes. His heart immediately softened and his murderous intent subsided. Thinking of the couple's loving relationship for twenty years, his steps were like thousands of stones tied to them, making it difficult to move.
.
But in a second thought, Hao Changshou thought of the wolf monster he had just seen, and felt sick in his heart. He regained his murderous intent and took a few steps forward.
Hao Xiao's eyes were full of tears and complaints, which reminded Hao Changshou to recall scenes of the past: when we first got married, when we raised eyebrows together, and how deeply we were in love... "If she wanted to kill me, she would have been able to do it in the past twenty years.
Why wait until today? Every move I make on weekdays can be felt as coming from my heart, without any falsehood." He stopped again, his murderous intention subsided.
Hao Changshou's expression changed erratically, sometimes ferocious and ferocious, sometimes gentle and smiling, sometimes murderous, sometimes forgiving and understanding. Finally, with a long sigh, he threw away the light yellow talisman.
Wisps of scarlet murderous intent flowed from his body into the talisman, which was the lingering love and hate, and repeated murderous intent.
As the murderous intention was completely gone, Hao Changshou's legs softened and he sat down on the ground. He felt as relaxed as if the tangled love and hatred were cut off with a sword.
Mrs. Hao Xiao stood up, with a happy, gentle and loving smile on her face, helped Hao Changshou into the room, and whispered from time to time the suppressed pain that had been concealed for many years.
…………
The next day, Hao Changshou and his wife took their guards and servants all over the city to look for Shi Xuan, wanting to thank the living god in person. If it hadn't been for the talisman and seal, Hao Xiao's unexpected loss of control would have resulted in a disaster.
A tragedy occurs.
ps: The outline was decided a long time ago. I wanted to write a few short stories like a fairy tale about the murderous intention of people, but in the current status of the status quo, it seems a bit abrupt. If it were at the beginning of the book, the style would be more appropriate.
So I adjusted it, cut out a few short stories, and ended the plot in the next chapter.
