Chapter 197 Borrowing the Corpse to Revive the Soul
Accompanied by Mr. Qiao, Li Xiuyuan went to the backyard of Qiao's residence.
Generally speaking, outsiders are not allowed to enter or exit the backyard of a home without permission. They can only enter or exit with the owner's accompaniment or with the owner's permission. Otherwise, they will be scolded if they enter or exit rashly.
For scholars, it is even more morally damaging.
Li Xiuyuan saw a small temporary temple built in the backyard of Qiao Mansion. There were three bronze statues enshrined in it. There were incense candles and sacrifices nearby, which were obviously often worshiped.
"There is the small temple of the three evil ghosts. I had to comply with their request to build it, otherwise there would be frequent troubles in the family." Master Qiao said.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "This is wrong. The evil ghost wants Master Qiao to build a temple, and Master Qiao cannot build it."
"Why is this?" Master Qiao asked.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Building a temple, having offerings, and having a Dharma body is equivalent to settling down here. When the time comes, humans and ghosts will live together. Mr. Qiao will be unable to move out first, or what?
Can the three evil ghosts move away?"
"So, in this case, helping those three evil ghosts build a temple will increase their arrogance?" Mr. Qiao was surprised.
"It's natural. The evil ghosts are greedy, and they think twice about it. With the temple here, they are even more unscrupulous. I suggest Mr. Qiao destroy this small temple immediately, so that the three evil ghosts can be eliminated first.
Let’s talk about offering incense.” Li Xiuyuan said.
Master Qiao was just about to agree, but at this moment another gloomy teasing voice suddenly sounded.
"You scholar are really naive. If you destroy other people's temples, be careful of others taking revenge. You must know that it is easier to invite gods than to send them away. Don't you know this truth?"
"Um?"
Li Xiuyuan heard the sound and looked over, only to see an elderly nun walking towards here, accompanied by a rather noble woman.
"master."
The woman bowed to Mr. Qiao.
Mr. Qiao nodded and said: "This is Li Xiuyuan, Master Li. I invited Master Li to rescue my daughter. Treat her well."
"I've met Mr. Li." Mrs. Qiao saluted Li Xiuyuan again.
"You're welcome, madam."
Li Xiuyuan returned the salute, but then looked at the old nun.
Looking at the old nun's dress, it was quite similar to the fake nuns in the Guanyin Temple, but what he just said made him a little wary and disgusted with this old nun.
"Who is this master's wife?"
Master Qiao frowned and asked, seeming to have some resistance and disgust towards the nun.
The old nun said: "The poor nun was invited by my wife to rescue the young lady in Mr. Qiao's family."
Mr. Qiao immediately looked cold: "My daughter will find a way to not disturb you, a monk, from meddling in your own business. Madam, send her away, and don't invite these unscrupulous people to the house in the future."
The old nun smiled solemnly: "Mr. Qiao's words are hurtful. The poor nun came to rescue your daughter out of kindness, but you scolded the poor nun for being unreasonable. The poor nun thinks this man is unreasonable."
Mr. Qiao shouted: "How dare you, Mr. Li is a scholar, and you don't have to kneel before an official. How can you, a mere old nun in a temple, have the right to insult a scholar? If you go to the government and stand in the lobby, like a nun like you,
The guard will give you twenty blows first and then we’ll talk."
He was particularly angry, after all, he was also a scholar.
And scholars are people of status no matter where they are, how can they be compared to others.
"Master Qiao, please be more polite to the poor nun, otherwise you will be punished," the old nun said.
Mr. Qiao snorted coldly: "Only those who lack virtue and do many evil deeds will receive retribution. How can I receive retribution if I act upright?"
"To be honest, I know very well whether Mr. Qiao behaves properly and lacks moral character. Otherwise, why would Mr. Qiao's daughter be unconscious all the time?" the old nanny said with a smile.
"Are you a nun from Guanyin Temple?" Mr. Qiao said with anger on his face.
"The poor nun did become a monk there." The old nun said.
Master Qiao suddenly became furious: "Come here, beat this old nun out. Don't let her in again."
Immediately, two servants from the house rushed over with wooden sticks, trying to drive the old nun away.
"You are so disrespectful to monks and nuns. No wonder your family will suffer retribution."
Lao Ni smiled, and she blew on the two servants. The two servants immediately turned around in the air in a daze, then opened their eyes and fainted on the ground.
"Sir, this master is an expert in magic and cannot be offended."
Seeing this, Ms. Qiao was shocked and said, pulling Master Qiao and begging: "Master, please apologize to Master Qiao quickly, our daughter still needs Master Qiao to rescue her."
"You are not an expert, you are clearly a witch who knows magic. If there are not enough gods and ghosts in the house, you have to attract such a witch." Mr. Qiao still said angrily.
I have to say that Mr. Qiao's attitude is very correct.
This old nun is indeed not a kind person. If nothing else, just because she comes from the Guanyin Temple in Huaxian County, she is very suspicious.
Seeing Master Qiao's attitude, Lao Ni got really angry and wanted to punish him. When he was arguing with Mr. Qiao, he breathed out at Master Qiao, and suddenly there was a blackness invisible to the naked eye.
The anger flew towards Mr. Qiao.
"Huh~!"
However, at this moment, Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed. He walked over and waved away the invisible black energy.
"This master has gone too far. You are not welcome in the master's house. You should leave wisely instead of messing around here."
The old man's face suddenly changed slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face: "No wonder Mr. Qiao is so confident. He hired a knowledgeable person to help, but his ethics are too shallow to save your daughter.
Mr. Qiao and the poor nun advise you not to waste your time. Every moment you waste here will put your daughter in more danger."
After saying that, he looked at Mr. Qiao next to him.
Mrs. Qiao loved her daughter eagerly and said hurriedly: "My little girl is unconscious in the house. Please ask the teacher to help her."
Mr. Qiao was angry and angry: "What kind of ecstasy soup was poured into you by her? Do you believe what this witch says?"
"Sir, Master, Master is really an expert, just trust Master for once." After saying that, Mrs. Qiao quickly took the old nun and went into the house.
When Mr. Qiao saw his wife being so disobedient to him, he immediately became furious.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Don't be angry, Mr. Qiao, just let that old nun give it a try, otherwise Mrs. Qiao won't give up. It's not worth it to hurt the harmony of the family for such a trivial matter."
"Master Li is an enlightened man, but my foolish wife has caused trouble to Master Li."
Master Qiao calmed down the anger in his heart and said: "But what Young Master Li said makes sense. Let the old nun give it a try. After she fails to save my daughter, I will beat her out again. There is nothing I can say to forgive her."
explain."
Li Xiuyuan also wanted to see what tricks the old nun wanted to play.
But when he and Mr. Qiao just walked into the house, they saw Qiao's daughter on the bed. Qiao Panpan had already woken up.
"Wake up, wake up, sir, look, my daughter is awake."
Mrs. Qiao said with surprise, and then she hugged her daughter and couldn't help but burst into tears: "Poor daughter, you have suffered so much, but now you finally wake up, you are so scared to death."
Ms. Qiao looked a little confused at the moment. She looked around, touched her cheek, and finally pursed her lips and smiled, seeming to be secretly happy.
"The poor nun told me, only the poor nun can rescue your daughter. If it were not for the sake of my wife, the poor nun would not work so hard." The old nun said with a smile, looking quite contented.
Mr. Qiao was stunned immediately.
I didn’t expect that my daughter was really saved by this old nun. Is this old nun really an expert, not a temptress or a liar?
"Master Li, look, look at this..." He looked at Li Xiuyuan next to him. He believed in Li Xiuyuan more than this temptress.
After all, Mr. Li is the person who can make Long Ma recognize his master, and he is also a scholar. He is more trustworthy than this suspicious-looking old nun.
"Let me take a look." Li Xiuyuan also frowned at this moment. He walked over and looked at Nv Qiao.
If Qiao Nu wants to be rescued, he must retrieve Qiao Nu's soul, and Qiao Nu's soul is now in his hands, which means that there is no way for others to rescue Qiao Nu, not even gods.
However, Qiao Nu could not be saved, but there was a compromise.
That is the method of peach generation and Li Zong, borrowing corpses to bring back souls.
If the soul of Lady Qiao is gone, you can find another female ghost to take its place and enter the body, so that people can be resurrected.
But the resurrected person is no longer Qiao Nu, but the female ghost.
As soon as he thought about this, Li Xiuyuan immediately asked: "What's your name?"
"My family's name is Ying... my family's name is Qiao Panpan." Qiao's face changed slightly and she looked at Li Xiuyuan with some fear.
Li Xiuyuan smiled coldly: "Stop pretending, I already know your identity."
After that, he said to Mr. Qiao: "This is not your daughter. She is a female ghost in the Guanyin Temple. Now she was brought here by this old nun and took the opportunity to enter your daughter's body. That's why your daughter
It's resurrected, but it's not your daughter who's resurrected, but that evil ghost. If Master Qiao doesn't believe it, you can ask Miss Qiao everything about her past, I guarantee she doesn't know anything about it."
"What? This happened."
Master Qiao was shocked, and then hurriedly asked Qiao some little things about her past.
As expected, Ms. Qiao hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
The old nun next to her immediately said: "Miss Qiao has been in coma for a long time. She is afraid that her body has been damaged, so her previous memories have been lost. This is apathy, a very common disease."
"Asoria? Now you are still here to quibble. I thought you would cast some spell, but I didn't expect that your Guanyin Temple would not only take away Miss Qiao's soul, but also not let go of her exorcism. When
It’s really abominable, let’s see how I can drive away the evil spirit that is possessing Miss Qiao’s body.”
Li Xiuyuan strode over, took some water for a night, then bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood into it.
After it melted, he grabbed Nv Qiao and poured the bowl of water into her mouth.
This evil ghost has entered the human body, which is equivalent to a layer of protection. It cannot be driven away by its own breath. After all, the human body has a place for the soul to hide.
After swallowing a bowl of water, Qiao Nu immediately twitched all over and let out a miserable cry.
Visible to the naked eye, wisps of black smoke came out of Ms. Qiao's body and then dissipated inside the house.
The black smoke exudes a foul smell, which is obviously an evil spirit.
When the old nun saw this scene, he was so frightened that he was about to run away.
The evil ghost he brought was wiped out so easily, so this young man's behavior is definitely not simple. If he stays here, he will be in trouble.
"I want to leave now, but it's too late."
Li Xiuyuan threw the tea bowl in his hand and hit the old nun's thigh.
The teacup exploded into pieces on her thigh, and the old nun fell to the ground with a cry of pain, holding her broken leg and wailing.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Qiao didn't know that what Li Xiuyuan said before was true.
His daughter didn't wake up at all, but was possessed by a ghost.
Thinking of this, his face became particularly gloomy.
"Daughter, my daughter, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Qiao was wailing sadly at this time.
After exorcising the evil ghost, Mrs. Qiao had no soul in her body and turned into a living dead. This made Mrs. Qiao feel happy and sad all of a sudden.
"Madam, don't be sad, I will revive your daughter right now."
Li Xiuyuan took out a book from the Ghost King's cloth bag. After turning to the last page, there was a small paper figure inside.
"Please ask Mr. Qiao for help and stick this paper man on Miss Qiao's forehead."
He didn't touch the paper man for fear of hurting his soul, but asked Master Qiao to help.
Mr. Qiao nodded, took the paper figurine, looked at it, and found that the paper figurine looked exactly like his daughter, just like twins. He pasted the paper figurine on his daughter's forehead.
Immediately, the figure of the woman on the paper figure gradually faded, faded, and finally turned into a piece of white paper, completely disappearing.
The unconscious girl Qiao's eyelashes twitched slightly, then she opened her eyes again and faintly woke up.
