In the Taiji Lake Villa, Song Zheng sent Pangong Xie away and quietly appeared alone on a barren mountain outside the city.
This is one of the several mass graves in Huzhou City. In the night, there are several lonely graves, wild dogs howl, and even some corpses are thrown in the ravine without being buried. They have rotted and exposed the bones. It is indescribably eerie.
fear.
Song Zheng took a quick look and found that there were indeed a few lonely ghosts hidden behind several graves, but their strength was too low to be useful.
These lonely ghosts don't know why they are afraid to hide, but when "that person" approaches, they instinctively tremble with fear and hide subconsciously.
Song Zheng, hoping for the best, searched carefully, shook his head and left.
There is indeed no powerful ghost in a barren mountain.
He originally wanted to go back and ask Chen Baihu, but then he thought it would not be appropriate to let his subordinates know about this kind of thing, so he temporarily turned to Huzhou City.
The city gate was closed, but Song Zheng couldn't help it. He had many ways to sneak in alone.
He found the inn where he stayed before, and sure enough, Xiuzhijie and the others were still living here.
When he opened the door and saw Song Zheng in the middle of the night, Xiuzhijie trembled: "Song...Sir Song."
In the rooms on both sides, the Xiu family monks who lived there also opened the door and said in surprise: "Sir Song, why are you here?" After saying this, he felt offended again and quickly slapped himself: "Look at my bad mouth.
.”
Song Zheng quietly signaled not to disturb the Hou Xiaonian brother and sister who were not far away. He pointed to the room: "Go in and talk."
He was not blind. He knew that Hou Xiaobai had a crush on him, but there was still someone waiting for him in Huangtai Fort. He chose Huangtai Fort firmly and without hesitation.
Xiu Zhijie didn't know what his purpose was and seemed a little uneasy, but the rest of the Xiu family were very excited, and the distinguished guests came to entertain them attentively.
Xiuzhijie couldn't stand the flattery of his subordinates, so he simply asked: "Song Qianhu came to visit late at night, there must be something going on, right?"
Song Zheng nodded: "I don't have many acquaintances in Huzhou City, so I wanted to ask you if there is any place where innocent souls gather in this city?"
Xiuzhijie was suspicious for a while: What are you doing in a place like this when you are Tangtang Longyi Guarding Qianhu? He was about to ask, but was secretly pulled back by Uncle Fang. Your identity is different, and Tangtang Qianhu came to you to help you.
To save face, asking questions about things makes the big shots unhappy.
Uncle Fang answered for him: "I know this. I have a relative in Huzhou City, so the family chose me to accompany the young master."
After a short pause, he continued: "The place your Excellency wants to ask about should be the Zhengchen Ghost Mansion.
That happened during the time of the previous commander-in-chief Zhou Rongmin. Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, Master Tantai Zhirong, the Minister of Household Affairs, submitted a memorial, listing the nine major crimes of the emperor, asking the emperor to correct himself and punish his traitorous ministers. The first of them was Zhou Rongmin.
The emperor was immediately furious and ordered the Long Yi Guards to take Tantai Zhirong into custody and confiscate his home and exterminate his family.
Tantai Zhirong's hometown was in Huzhou City. At that time, Zhou Rongmin made the case a solid case and punished the three clans. The Tantai family was almost wiped out in Huzhou City.
Over the next ten years or so, the Tantai family's old house was often haunted, and no one dared to take over that part of the house, and it gradually became a famous haunted house in Huzhou City."
Uncle Fang was concerned about Long Yiwei's face, so he narrated the whole thing very simply. Even the name "Zhengchen Ghost House" circulated among the people in Huzhou was only blurted out at first, and then never said again.
The actual situation is that when the emperor first came to the throne, he showed his true nature as a coward. He favored treacherous ministers, took in several new concubines and nobles, and engaged in mischief all day long. Tantai Zhirong was the first to stand up and wanted to wake up the emperor.
As a result, the emperor was furious and issued a decree. Zhou Rongmin, a loyal dog, carried out his majesty's order very solidly.
Tantai Zhirong killed three tribes, and hundreds of people were killed. The people were so angry that thousands of people took the initiative to go to the old house to pay homage to Tantai Zhirong every year. The place was full of incense, just like a temple.
With the protection of the people's faith, it has gradually become a habit for these innocent souls to hide in the old house. However, they still adhere to the family motto of the Tantai family, never leave the house and never harm the world.
As for why Lian Zhan didn't go, I'm afraid he was unwilling to do so and wanted to see Hun Jun's fate with his own eyes.
In fact, Uncle Fang didn't have to worry about Song Zheng's face. Zhou Rongmin's final end was tragic and he committed suicide because he was pulled down by Xiao Zhen.
Xiao Zhen took charge of Long Yiwei after Zhou Rongmin and became a powerful official.
Song Zheng nodded: "Please also tell me the location of this haunted house."
Uncle Fang drew a map for him. Song Zheng took the map and left. When he reached the door, he suddenly called Xiuzhijie over: "I remember you are here for Humi's business?"
Xiuzhijie hesitated for a moment, and Uncle Fang became concerned, saying, Master, don't be stubborn. He thought too much, Xiuzhijie was struggling with his sweetheart's favorable impression of Song Zheng, but when Song Zheng obviously wanted to become his business
At that time, all the moral integrity he had thought about before, such as "not giving up for five buckets of rice", were suddenly completely discouraged.
The resistance in his heart was weak and he replied obediently: "Yes."
"How much do you want?" To Song Zheng, this was nothing.
"Fifty kilograms is enough." He answered cautiously.
Song Zheng was surprised: "Fifty kilograms, is that enough? Let's do this. You can go back to Chen Baihu and give you one hundred and sixty kilograms." He warned: "Eighty kilograms each for you and the Hou family."
"Thank you for the gift, sir!" Uncle Fang was overjoyed, but Xiuzhijie thought that he was still thinking about Hou Xiaobai, and felt awkward in his heart. But as he said, he couldn't resist such a huge benefit, so he also bowed: "Thank you, sir."
Song Zheng waved his hand and disappeared into the dark night.
He and Hou Xiaobai will never meet again.
…
Taiji Lake claims that the annual output of lake rice is only one thousand catties, but in fact it is exported to North Korea, and the total output is about three thousand catties. Bao Taowei has about eight hundred catties, and Song Zheng has the largest share as a thousand households.
A total of four hundred kilograms.
Monks eating lake rice are not like ordinary people eating rice. If so, the energy of heaven and earth contained in lake rice will definitely not be completely absorbed. Everyone only eats a few grains per meal. One pound of lake rice is enough for monks to eat for several months.
.
Song Zheng came out of the inn and quickly found a deserted alley according to the map. He rose in the air and looked down from a high place. He saw that the Tantai family's "Zhengchen Ghost House" was clearly different from the surroundings, and the gloomy ghostly atmosphere was...
The fence of the old house serves as the boundary, so nothing escapes and will never have any negative impact on the surrounding neighbors.
Song Zheng nodded, secretly thinking that he was indeed a loyal minister.
He searched for ghosts because he wanted to use the methods of Nirvana Hall and the Way of Gods and Demons to further refine them and get a powerful ghost to go deep into the Yin Eye to check the situation.
There was all kinds of "mess" under the Yang Eye, but he didn't believe there was nothing wrong with the Yin Eye.
He went to ask the Immortal Refining Sect to help him build a spider puppet. In addition to proving his guess, he also had another important purpose to attract the attention of those secret forces to the Yang Eye, while he secretly took action and quietly explored the Yin Eye.
He fell from mid-air to the door of the Tantai family's old house. The two vermilion doors were tightly closed, revealing a darkness caused by the invasion of darkness over the years.
There is a bronze square stove placed in the open space in front of the door, and there is still a lot of incense that has not been burned out.
The floor was very clean and seemed to be cleaned regularly.
On Songzheng Road, he went to an incense and candle shop, took out three incense sticks and two candles, and left the money. At this time, he lit the candles, then lit the incense and bowed from a distance.
crunch
In the quiet night, there was suddenly a harsh door opening. The two dark red doors slowly opened a crack, and a ghost figure floated out from the narrow crack.
His complexion was green and white, and he was about thirty years old before he died. As soon as he stretched out his hand toward Song Zheng, an invisible force enveloped the incense burner, and the incense could no longer be inserted.
"Your Excellency is from Longyi Guards, and our Tantai family can't bear it!" The voice was calm, with a chill that could repel people thousands of miles away.
Song Zheng held up the incense and said, "I'm here to ask for something." A hint of sarcasm appeared on the green and white ghost's face, but was interrupted by Song Zheng's next words: "I'm here to help you rest in peace."
"Rest in peace?" Qingbai Ghost said indignantly: "My father has been loyal and conscientious all his life, and only wanted to serve the imperial court. However, the Holy One was stupid and could not listen to the unfavorable advice. Instead, he killed the whole family of my Tantai clan, and poured out his blood in vain. This world
Where can I rest?"
Song Zheng knew that if these innocent souls could remain in the world, they must be obsessed with them.
"Then what do you want? To stay in Zhengchen's ghost house like this?"
Qingbai Ghost gritted his teeth and said, "We have already seen the fate of that traitor Zhou Rongmin. Now we just want to see the fate of that faint king. If the law of heaven is fair, we can dissipate in peace between heaven and earth."
Song Zheng shook his head: "You are willing, but there are dozens of young children in the house. They could have entered reincarnation, and they still have thoughts of the next life. Do they want to disappear between heaven and earth with you?"
The green and white ghost was speechless and couldn't speak.
After all, he had passed down poems and books to his family, and he had compassion in his heart, so he couldn't do anything truly sinister.
Song Zheng added: "I have a way to the Netherworld, and I have an old relationship with the Netherworld.
Not only can you be sent to the netherworld, but you can also be entrusted to ghost messengers and Yama to take care of you. Under the netherworld, you don’t have to be punished for being bound to the sun world, you can get rid of your sins, and you can be reincarnated."
The Qingbai Ghost was obviously moved, but his obsession could not go away. He shook his head slightly and said, "I understand your kindness, but we cannot see the fate of the faint king, and it is difficult to reincarnate."
Song Zheng said calmly: "This is about me asking you for help. If you help me with this, you may see the fate of Hunjun."
Why was Helianlie forced to commit suicide? Song Zheng can never forgive that foolish king.
He saw the real dragon in the Yang Eye and had vaguely guessed the inside story. He asked Qingbai Gui and the others to help detect the Yin Eye in order to further confirm his guess.
