There was a hint of trembling in the maid's voice. She took off her curtain hat, revealing a frightened and uneasy face. She quickly took out the small box hidden under her sleeve and threw it into the corner of the carriage with trembling hands.
Mrs. Lu frowned tightly.
This is her dowry maid. She is always cautious and considerate in everything she says and does. Why is she calling her by the name she used to call her in the boudoir and acting so rudely now?
Mrs. Lu placed the box in a straight position, fearing that her husband would notice any damage, and asked anxiously: "What did the Taoist priest inside say?"
"Young lady, please stop touching that thing!"
The maid almost burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "At first, the master of the temple refused to tell the truth. It was only after the slave stuffed him with another ten taels of silver that he told the truth! It turns out that this puppet is not an ordinary thing, but has been bewitched.
Technique!"
Lu scolded: "If you are subjected to witchcraft again, you are just a puppet. Where has your usual composure gone!"
Although witchcraft has always been strictly prohibited, she has heard about it. When she was a child, she even saw her mother secretly pricking a villain with a needle while she was still chanting curse words...
But the aunt who was stabbed by her mother is still alive and well.
It can be seen that such sorcery is simply unrealistic and empty talk.
In fact, when she first saw the puppet in the box, and when she saw the name and date of birth written in ink under the puppet, she guessed that it was probably a curse of this kind.
But if the husband really cared about Xu Su, why would he secretly curse him?
Can we conclude from this that Xu Su is still alive?
If a person who has been missing for several years is alive, where will he be hidden?
Is Xu Su’s disappearance related to her husband?
She made an excuse to go back to her parents' house today, and while her husband was at the Hanlin Academy, she secretly took the puppet out of the house, just to find some answers and clues——
"Young mistress... this is not an ordinary curse... but... it is used on dead people..." The maid lowered her voice and looked frightened.
Lu's eyes suddenly changed.
"What did you say?"
A sorcery used on... the dead?!
"Young mistress, you are still pregnant. I am really afraid of scaring you, but I dare not hide this from you..." The maid was about to cry: "You only need to know that this is the case. The rest
Don’t ask any further questions.”
Lu said solemnly: "Explain everything to me clearly!"
Now that things have happened, she can continue to pretend to be ignorant on the surface, but she definitely can't do it secretly.
With the clues and truth in front of her, how could she not ask clearly?
What's more, she's not that timid woman, so she won't be really scared by these mere victory-weary techniques!
Seeing her insistence, the maid could only continue: "...The master of the temple said that this is an extremely difficult evil spell to perform. He didn't know everything about it. He only knew what it was called 'Soul Locking Technique'.
After death, the soul of a person is also locked in this wooden figure and cannot be reincarnated..."
After hearing this, she felt that what she was holding in her arms was not a box but a bloody female ghost... Who could not panic!
Mrs. Lu's face turned a little pale when she heard this.
After death, you have to use such evil spells to trap the opponent's soul...
For a moment, she didn't know whether to be jealous of her husband's deep attachment to Xu Su, or whether to be afraid of such a terrifying obsession.
And Xu Su is dead...
How did he die?
The more the maid thought about it, the more frightened she felt. She knew she shouldn't say any more, but she continued uncontrollably: "Then the temple master also said...the reason why this wooden man has such a dark color is because he is casting a spell."
At that time, you need to take the other party's heartfelt blood while the other party is still...still alive...soak the wooden figure in the blood for twelve hours..."
So, there is no magic here, it is just killing people...
How could normal people do such appalling things?
After hearing this, Lu felt a chill running through her body.
Therefore, Xu Su’s disappearance was indeed caused by her husband...
It was not enough for her husband to kill Xu Su, but he also cast such evil spells...
Looking at the box again, thinking about the wooden figure lying in the box, Lu's hands were trembling in his sleeves.
She could suddenly understand why the usually calm maid could not wait to throw the box into the corner just now.
If she could, she even wanted to throw the things out of the carriage, as far away as possible.
But no.
Because what frightened her the most was not what was in this box...
The carriage, carrying the frightened master and servant, gradually drove away.
…
At this time, the patron in Qingyang Temple was equally frightened when he saw the young man in black clothing standing in front of him.
He was counting the coins just now, and he didn't even see how this person came in!
Are the two apprentices guarding outside blind?
"You...who are you?" The viewer grabbed the whisk on the side and tried to look calm enough.
This person has a very strong evil spirit and is probably not a kind person!
However, in the next moment, he saw the other party take out a silver coin from his pocket and put it on the table.
"That woman just came here to ask what happened. Please tell me the truth for your convenience."
Looking at the ingot of silver, the viewer was stunned.
So easy to talk to?
This knowledge gave him some confidence, and he said with a righteous face: "Those who come to the temple to ask questions are all distinguished guests of poor Taoists. Poor Taoists must not easily leak other people's private affairs..."
Xiao Wu frowned slightly.
It seems that he gave the ingot of money too happily, which caused the other party to have a misunderstanding.
Seeing him reaching into his arms again, the viewer swallowed nervously.
It's not easy to get chestnuts out of the fire. As long as the other party comes out with another pill, he will compromise.
"Can we talk now?" Xiao Wu asked.
"..."
Looking at the sharp dagger suddenly placed across his neck, the viewer nodded tremblingly: "Yes...of course...everything is easy to discuss..."
This man actually has a dagger in his arms!
It seems that rather than whether the disciples are blind, he should be more concerned about whether the disciples are gone?
Trembling, he said everything he needed to say. Seeing the man in black not forgetting to take the silver coin back into his arms before leaving, the viewer was still shocked and gritted his teeth, shedding tears of fear and regret.
"Master...are you okay?"
Two Taoist priests rushed into the room.
They were taking a nap outside, and suddenly someone threw two stones at them, and then they could only open their eyes and be unable to move!
The man just removed their acupuncture points, and they were able to return to normal.
As for why I didn't chase that person, but came in to see the master - well, of course it was because I was afraid that something would happen to the master!
The master of the temple was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger. He stepped forward and grabbed an ear of the two unsatisfied disciples with one hand.
"Ouch! Master, please be gentle!"
There was constant wailing in the room.
Inside the Xuesheng Teahouse, the waiter hurried up to the second floor holding a booklet.
