Song You waited at home all night, from waiting on the bed to waiting in the yard, and from sitting at the stone table in the courtyard to sitting on the stone steps at the door. It was not until dawn the next morning that his Sanhua Empress came.
I walked back from the alley with an old turban on my arm, slowly, as if I had just finished school.
When Taoist saw her, she also saw Taoist.
The Taoist pursed his lips, and she was very surprised.
"Taoist priest, why are you sitting here?"
"It's cooler outside."
"Isn't it cool in the yard?"
"The wind that crosses the alley can't blow."
“Street style!”
The little girl stopped at the door, her small figure staring straight at him.
The Taoist stood up, patted his buttocks, which were already cold. As he opened the door, he asked her, "Why did Sanhua Empress come back so late?"
"It's morning now."
"Why did you come back so early?"
"Making money..."
The little girl said in a casual tone as she walked past him, raised her legs high and crossed the threshold, entering the house.
It looks pretty decent.
Naturally, Song You could only follow behind, and asked at the same time: "Miss Sanhua, did you have success in catching the monster last night?"
"It went well. Sanhua Empress didn't help much. Those people are more powerful than Sanhua Empress thought." The little girl walked to the stone table in the courtyard and stopped. She bent down and put her hand into her robe, and took out one after another.
He bought three pieces of honeycomb silver and put them on the table, "This is the money Sanhua Empress made last night."
"So many!"
"Sanhua Empress followed your example and only paid for half of it. Because Sanhua Empress didn't help much." The little girl said seriously, "But it will be enough for us to use for a long time. Don't buy the expensive ones."
"Puff puff..."
A swallow flew back and landed on the roof.
"I don't often buy those expensive ones. Besides, even if we spend the money, we are just returning the money to the people. When we need to use the money, we will take it from the people like the Sanhua Empress did last night. In this way,
It can’t be called a waste of money, but on the contrary, I have lost a lot of weight when traveling around the world.” Song You replied casually, “But this money is enough for us to go back to Changjing.”
"Nonsense..."
"Then let's not talk about this. Let's ask Empress Sanhua to talk about what happened last night." Song You sat down on the stone bench, "I wonder how powerful those people are?"
"There was an old man who was very smart. The Jinke mother was originally hiding so that no one else could find or see it. He lied to them and said he was going to burn down the house, so he scared the Jinke mother out."
Empress Sanhua still held her robe and stood in front of Song You, very close to her. She rubbed her eyes and said, "There are many martial arts practitioners who are very courageous and ferocious. There is one who is the most courageous and the most ferocious."
Yes, that Jinke mother was covered in black smoke. Sanhua Empress wanted to go down and help, but she covered it with an iron basin and stepped on it with her feet, so that Jinke mother couldn't get out.
Already."
"Golden Toad."
"Jinke's mother!"
"What's the end?"
"Finally they asked Empress Sanhua what to do."
"What did Sanhua Empress say?"
"Sanhua Empress jumped down from the wall, caught the Jinke mother, beat it a few times, and asked it to remove all the evil spells placed on others. When it finished, it was almost dawn. Three
Empress Hua asked it a few more questions. After asking it, she wanted to spit out fire and burn it directly, but after thinking about what the Taoist said, Empress Sanhua didn't." The little girl paused and said, "Sanhua.
The empress asked them to borrow a silver pot and burned it to death, and then they gave the empress Sanhua the money."
"Miss Sanhua is really smart."
"Yes!"
"What did Sanhua Empress ask it?"
"Ask it what its name is, where it comes from, when it became a spirit, and why it wants to harm people." The girl paused and rubbed her eyes again, her expression still serious. "It said it's called the Golden God of Wealth, and it's from ancient times.
It was offered to a family at home. The family was very big. Later, during the war, everyone died, and it became a spirit. Later, many people offered it to others, and finally someone sealed it, put it in a box and buried it.
After it went underground, it didn't know anything anymore. Recently, it heard someone walking above, and it woke up again."
"Huh?"
Song You smiled, tilted his head and asked, "How did Empress Sanhua think of asking these questions?"
"Learned from Taoist priests."
"I see……"
"The Taoist priest must want to ask these questions!"
"Exactly."
"Miss Sanhua is very smart!"
"This is natural." Song You nodded, "Then why does it harm people?"
"I don't understand. I forgot." The little girl said, "Sanhua Empress thinks it is bad and wants to harm others."
"Most likely."
"Yes!"
"Empress Sanhua is really good at thinking and extremely intelligent." Song You spoke very sincerely this time, and then he rubbed her head and said, "Empress Sanhua is already sleepy, so go to sleep."
"how about you?"
"I slept for a while last night." Song You said, "Empress Sanhua is a hero and she should have a good rest."
"Are you going to find your stick?"
"Not urgent."
"Then you wait for a while. When the sun climbs so high, call Sanhua Empress so that Sanhua Empress can go fishing." The girl was indeed a little sleepy, so she took off the robe and held it in her hand, not forgetting to say something to her family.
The Taoist priest warned, "If you want to go out to make money, remember to call her Sanhua Empress."
"Go to bed quickly."
"OK."
The little girl picked up all three pieces of silver again, walked back to the house, put the silver away first, and then hung up the robe. Then she suddenly turned into a cat, jumped on the bed, walked to the window, and fell asleep in the sun.
Song You certainly didn't call her.
No wonder Song You.
It’s all because it’s cloudy today, and the clouds cover the sun. Who knows when the sun will set?
…
Over the past few days, several evil incidents occurred in the city.
The incident that caused the most violence and affected the most people was the Li family incident. Many neighbors suffered. The legend that "the beggars wandering around at dusk are monsters and can cast spells to harm people" quickly spread in Dongcheng. I am afraid that this will happen for a long time in the future.
No one dares to go out at night. As for how long local children will be afraid of this, no one can say. Maybe dozens or hundreds of years later, some parents will use this story to educate their children not to go out at night, but earlier.
Return home.
The most talked-about thing is the matter of the Liao family. Since the beginning of this year, the business of the Liao family bookstore has been booming. In a city like Yangdu, no one cares about money.
Who would have thought that it was all done by evil spirits?
However, the most interesting thing is the process of searching for monsters and exorcising evil spirits between these two families. It makes a lot of noise. Many people have witnessed it with their own eyes and are talking about it with their own eyes.
It seems that the evil spirits are really not that powerful.
In addition, when the children of the Li family and the Liao family went out to socialize, visit relatives and friends, chat and brag in restaurants and teahouses, they all talked about these things. After that, some people encountered evil spirits and began to question them.
Song You was sitting at home, thinking about his bamboo stick.
After a moment of sensing, I found that the bamboo stick was not even a hundred miles away.
In fact, all the trends cannot be hidden from him.
That Huo Erniu is really stubborn.
Song You was able to piece together a bit of Huo Erniu's character from the words of the man named Li and from several other Jianghu people who knew Huo Erniu.
He is bold and reckless, and is not afraid of monsters.
He is just a stubborn person, easily impulsive.
If someone gives him a hundred cents, he dares to sleep in a graveyard outside the city for a night. If someone treats him to a drink, he dares to go to a ghost house at night to get copper coins. On weekdays, if anyone asks for help, he will give more money to the one with more money.
Those with little money ran up to him to flatter him or say a few soft words, and his heart wandered or softened, so he agreed. No one asked him to do anything, so he just moved some goods by the river.
Sell some effort to make money.
He likes to spend his money drinking and bragging in taverns and listening to books in teahouses, but he has never done anything bad.
In the past few days, Huo Erniu has been severely damaged.
Huo Erniu is famous for being very courageous and not afraid of ghosts, just like Ye Xinrong many years ago, otherwise the man surnamed Li would not give him the bamboo stick. There are often people who have evil spirits in their homes and invite him to sleep for a night.
The blood energy in his body drives away evil spirits, which is often useful.
Therefore, Huo Erniu knew it long before anyone else——
Weird things happen every year, especially this year.
Things are better in Yangdu City. After leaving the city wall and the city gate, although the strange things outside the city are not to the level of piles, there is one thing outside the huge Yangdu City almost every three to five days. Morning
Before the man named Li asked him to go to his house to help catch monsters, someone had already invited him there.
It's just that these weird things are different now. In the past, they were just some evil spirits. You didn't need to do anything. I used to sleep for one night and they would disappear naturally. The most amazing thing I have ever encountered is that I dreamed about some ghosts.
Find him, talk to him for a few words, or scold him a few times, rush up and give him a beating, and it will be fine.
Nowadays, these strange things are difficult to deal with.
There are also many wealthy families outside the city. When the dignitaries get older, they like to retire and return to their hometowns. But even if the prices offered by these adults are getting higher and higher, making people more and more coveted, there is nothing he can do.
When I was powerless, I got a treasure.
After getting this treasure, he almost didn't think much. He immediately went to the house of an old man outside the city who had looked for him before. With his martial arts and courage, he almost touched it with this treasure.
The bamboo stick that can kill a demon can easily eliminate the evil spirits.
The old man was so respectful to him that he served wine that night, toasted to him personally, stayed in the best room for him, and gave him twenty taels of silver early the next morning, and sent him all the way to the entrance of the village.
How could a naive martial artist ever be treated like this?
But when he went to bed that night, he had to put the bamboo stick under his pillow for fear of being stolen.
In the next few days, I walked around outside the city.
I exorcise people from evil spirits every day and earn a lot of money.
In addition to the courtesy from the local people and the host, I was not willing to buy meat or wine when walking in the market town. My life was very uncomfortable.
