Seeing that the heart was about to run away, Qingyu grabbed her and said, "Wait a minute."
She looked at the place in the distance that was obviously surrounded by a mass of black energy, "The upper Gen is the sun and the lower is the sun, the mountain wind Gu, this is the sign of corruption, if you can't make progress, you will retreat, small evil."
Hong Tao patted the back of her hand comfortingly: "The evil spirit is so strong, how can it not be evil? Don't worry, it's just the evil spirit that's gone. It won't bother me."
Qingyu said: "Removing evil spirits can only solve superficial problems. Corruption comes from the inside out, and its roots are from the inside. Therefore, removing evil spirits is only the second step."
Hong Tao thought for a while and asked: "Where is that root?"
"If you don't advance, you should retreat. Use retreat as advance. Use retreat as advance. It means not getting rid of it. You can only retreat if you don't get rid of it. If you forcefully get rid of it, there will be future troubles."
Hongtao nodded, murmured "Retreat in order to advance", and called out: "Disciple, let's go."
Sanchan was still in shock. He looked at Qingyu and then at Hongtao who had walked out. He was deeply shocked. What was going on with this family? One was good at fortune-telling, the other was good at divination, and his age
Even at such a young age, he suddenly felt that he had lived the first half of his life in vain.
Qingyu seemed to know what he was thinking, and smiled softly: "Don't be fooled by the illusion in front of you. What you see may not be true."
Sanchan was a little stiff and laughed, calling out "Lie Chen", and the master and the disciple chased after the red peach.
...
The three of them followed the direction of the evil spirit and found the home of Yuan Liu, a famous landowner and tycoon in the area.
However, before Hongtao could launch the movable signboard of Sanzen, she was stopped by a row of government officials on the street. The people who were stopped by the government officials were also surrounded by a bunch of ordinary people.
Hong Tao looked around and saw a man with a long tongue and a face, so he stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, what happened here?"
When the man heard the sound, he turned around and saw that he was a child. However, this did not hinder his desire to speak. He started to chirp and said, "The concubine of Yuan Liu's wife's family died. This concubine's mother's family also had some wealth, so she reported the death."
Officer, the squad leader is leading people inside to arrest people now."
"Catch the murderer? Who is the murderer?" Hong Tao was a little curious.
"Of course it's the mistress of the house. These days, there are so many concubines killed by the mistress. Most people drag them away with a roll of straw mat and bury them. They won't make such a big fuss. After all, the concubines come from many backgrounds.
If it's not good, then you'll die. These rich people are even more afraid of making people gossip.
But Yuan Liu’s concubine, whose natal family is rich and powerful, will not obey her after her daughter dies. If she reports to the official, she will have to make the murderer pay with her life."
Hongtao chuckled, "That's all? Then it's not that difficult to be an official. I would be able to do it if it were me."
Someone nearby couldn't help but interjected: "No. It was the concubine who died in vain who pointed out the murderer herself."
"Oh? A dead person can point to the murderer? Isn't this person dead? How did she point? Which finger pointed at it?" Hong Tao became even more surprised.
This stopped the two people on the left and right. They also looked curious. They stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks forward as much as possible. "I just don't know how to point it out. I'm blocked on the side of the street. I can't see what's going on inside."
.”
Hong Tao watched the evil aura rising to the sky getting stronger and stronger. After thinking for a while, she assumed the cold attitude of a master and asked Sanchan: "Disciple, what do you think when you see this evil aura?"
Before Sanchan could react, he was stunned for a moment before bending down and whispering: "The evil spirit is getting stronger and stronger. If it is not stopped in time, it may hurt people's lives."
Hong Tao nodded, "That's right, so quickly show off your housekeeping skills and ask them to let your master and me in."
I...I am a housekeeper, so I am not here to serve as a doorkeeper for you. Sanchan felt resentful in his heart, but on his face, he winked at his little apprentice Liaochen. Liaochen understood, took the greeting card and squeezed past the edge. After a while,
, and came with the housekeeper.
Hong Tao and the other three were successfully brought into the Liu family's gate by the housekeeper. As soon as they crossed the threshold, a gloomy cold wind hit them. Hong Tao was thin and small. If he didn't pay attention, he was even blown back two steps. Fortunately, he was
Chen Chen held it up and kept it from falling.
Her face turned red with anger, and she muttered fiercely, "I'm so angry, but I dare to mess with your aunt. I'll break it for you."
The Dantian's true energy was condensed. Although it was less than 10%, the momentum was already considerable. With a bang, it was like an air cannon exploding on the spot, forming a circle of air waves that shook away the dust on the ground.
The air wave was formed by the collision between the true energy and the evil spirit. The evil energy was pushed back, and the whole body of true energy also turned invisible. It was neither big nor small, just enough to protect the three people and the housekeeper together.
The robe that was originally billowing and flying in the dark wind stopped instantly.
The housekeeper was a little confused at first, "Has the wind stopped?" But then he looked at Sanchan in shock, "As expected of Master Sanchan, please come with me to the inner courtyard quickly. The evil spirit is working in the inner courtyard."
Sanchan is a little embarrassed, neither agreeing nor answering.
Hongtao was so angry that he didn't care.
The three of them followed the housekeeper to the inner courtyard. The cold air around them became much heavier the moment they stepped through the second door. The sky was gloomy, and the evil spirit in the courtyard was causing sand and rocks to fly.
However, these evil spirits automatically receded after approaching the area within one foot of the red peach. In the entire courtyard, only the place where the red peach passed was extremely quiet.
There were about ten people in the courtyard, some dressed as government officials and some dressed as common people. Among them, the most obvious one was a couple holding each other's arms and crying.
Hongtao pointed to the most gorgeously dressed person standing in the middle of the crowd and asked, "This is your master."
The housekeeper was panicked, "Exactly." He wanted to shout, but when he saw the scene outside the protective circle, he was trembling with fear, so he could only stand on the edge and shout: "Sir, Master Sanzen is here."
When other people in the courtyard heard the sound, they all looked back. The entire courtyard was in chaos, and the quiet little one stood out.
Liu Yuanwai paused for a moment before rushing into the protective circle. As soon as he walked in, the demon wind that cut his face disappeared in an instant. He had never seen such a weird thing with his own eyes, and he was a little scared and stared blankly at the moment.
In the direction of the main house, no words were spoken.
The other government officials also looked scared and followed into the protective circle.
In the end, only the crying couple was left outside the circle. Hong Tao guessed that those two people should be the parents of the dead concubine.
Liu Yuanwai seemed to have come to his senses, and then he offered his hands to Sanchan, with an urgent look on his face, "Master, please drive away the evil spirit quickly."
Hongtao looked at Sanchan, "Disciple, what did your uncle say before going out?"
Sanchan's face turned red for a while, and he returned the salute to Liu Yuanwai, and then said: "This evil... This evil is caused by resentment, and the resentment needs to be resolved. I wonder if Yuanwai can tell me what happened."
Liu Yuanwai looked painful, "I don't know either. The family has always been harmonious in the back house. The servants all know that Xiang Ming and Wan'er have always had a harmonious relationship. There has never been any quarrel. Wan'er accepted it for me from Xiang Ming."
Maybe, maybe it has something to do with Wan'er being pregnant, I don't know, I really don't know. Xiang Ming has always been gentle and kind, there is no way she could have killed Wan'er."
Hong Tao stared at Liu Yuanwai for a long time before turning her head and looking towards the main room.
The main house is the house where the host and the hostess live. At this time, all the gravel in the courtyard is swept away by the evil spirit and surrounds the main house, forming a circle of barriers. If you get closer, you will be cut by the gravel and bleed.
Hong Tao saw a pool of blood and chicken feathers in front of the house and asked, "What's going on?"
The head of the Yamen team quickly explained: "Originally I wanted to go in and arrest people, but this situation... I wanted to test whether people could go in, so I threw a chicken. Unexpectedly, the chicken fell in and was smashed to pieces. We
I don’t dare to go in.”
Hong Tao nodded in understanding. At this moment, the couple started crying again:
"Wan'er, if you have a spirit in heaven, let your mother go in and arrest that poisonous woman and send it to the officials for investigation. Don't worry, even if mother tries her best, she will seek justice for you and make that poisonous woman pay for your life.
