Chapter 73
Chen Fan blushed instantly, and struggled for a while trying to get off Gao Xi's back, but the other party just hugged him and did not let go, with his arms clamping him like pliers.
Qiu Changchun waved his hands, showing an expression that I understand, and pulled them over.
Chen Fan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Master, how did you find us?"
"I am your master, of course there are ways to find you."
As he spoke, Qiu Changchun dug out a pair of child's pants from his clothes and shook them. "Look, I still keep your old trousers. If you draw a talisman, even if you hide underground, I can dig you out."
Chen Fan looked at the red crotch pants, which he wore when he was a child. He didn't expect his master to wear them all the time, and he wanted to snatch them embarrassedly. Unfortunately, he was a step too late, and Qiu Changchun hid them in his clothes.
"I can't give this to you. I still count on using it to find you in the future."
Speaking of which, Qiu Changchun had already led the way in, looking around as he walked, and when he entered the living room, as soon as Gao Xi left, he pulled Chen Fan and asked in a low voice, "Teacher, why are you still with this ghost?" ?”
Chen Fan looked at him curiously. "We went to Miaofeng Mountain together and found his body. Didn't you guide us there, Master? The note you gave me said three steps."
Qiu Changchun slapped his thigh, frowned and said, "When did I let you go to Miaofeng Mountain?"
Chen Fan was also stunned.
"On the letter paper you gave me, there are two characters written in three steps, and I will..."
Qiu Changchun shook his head and said, "I wrote the three steps of interview and return."
Chen Fan was completely stunned. He didn't expect that they would find Gao Xi's body by accident, but there were only two words missing, which completely ran counter to what Qiu Changchun wanted to say.
Qiu Changchun shook his head in disappointment. "I thought you wouldn't come back after you left. I didn't expect that it was not good for you to go, but you came back again."
Chen Fan smiled helplessly. "It may have been God's will."
Gao Xi walked in at this time, glanced at Qiu Changchun, then turned his head again: "Chen Xiulan is here."
Chen Fan turned his head, and immediately saw Chen Xiulan walking in from the door, holding a few things in her hands, she hadn't slept all night, and she looked even more haggard.
"Master, I'm ready, how do you find Xiaoyi?"
Chen Fan glanced at the things in her hands, they were all the things that Xi Yi would usually carry on her body, and nodded. "Wait until tonight to start practicing."
Qiu Changchun looked at it and asked curiously, "Are you looking for someone?"
Chen Fan shook his head. "Looking for ghosts."
After telling Qiu Changchun about Shouhe, Qiu Changchun said with a serious face: "If she was taken away by Shouhe, even if you don't have to look for her, she will come back by herself."
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Chen Xiulan: "Are you the relative of the deceased?"
Chen Xiulan nodded, looking curious.
"That's it. Tonight, your daughter will come to you."
Chen Xiulan was overjoyed when she heard that, and seeing Qiu Changchun was also wearing Taoist clothes, she grabbed him. "really?"
Qiu Changchun nodded, but said to her cautiously: "But by then, your daughter will no longer be your daughter."
Chen Fan felt that something was wrong just now, once he heard Qiu Changchun say that, did he know the way to do it.
Qiu Changchun first asked Chen Xiulan to go home to prepare for a trip, then turned his head and asked Chen Fan: "When I saw Shouhe more than 30 years ago, his appearance has not changed."
Chen Fan recalled the picture he saw in the Sansheng Pond. It has been thousands of years ago, but Shouhe is immortal, and even his appearance is exactly the same.There is no magic of immortality in the world at all. Could it be that his ability to live for so long has something to do with taking Xi Yi away?
"As far as I know, he is no less than a thousand years old. The reason why he can never die is because of the thousand ghosts in his hands. It is said that when a person dies, he becomes a ghost, and when a ghost dies, he becomes a ghost. Ghosts suck human energy, but It can also support people, there are hundreds of little ghosts under Shouhe, and they can prolong their lifespan by absorbing people's energy and transferring to him, commonly known as stealing life."
No wonder Shouhe has such a strong ghostly aura. It turned out to be because of this, but Master and Shouhe have known each other for more than 30 years, so they already knew about it, why didn't they expose it?
Chen Fan was puzzled, and saw Qiu Changchun throw a newspaper out of his clothes and put it on the table.Chen Fan picked it up and looked at it. The reports on it were all recent homicide cases in various places, and the murderer has not been found so far.
Qiu Changchun said: "In these homicide cases, the deceased all have one thing in common, that is, their children committed suicide not long ago, and not long after the suicide, they were also found dead tragically, and the murderer could not be found. I follow the above After searching for clues all the way, I finally came here, if the Xi Yi you are talking about was captured by Shouhe, then he is cultivating evil spirits."
Chen Fan has also heard of such things as evil before. Most of the ghosts who committed suicide are not accepted by the hell. If they are extremely resentful, they will gradually become ghosts. Ghosts are fierce, but they still have a trace of humanity.However, some ghosts will kill their relatives, especially parents who are blood relatives. If this blood chain is broken, the ghosts will become evil.
No wonder the master just said that Xi Yi will come back to find Chen Xiulan, only by killing her can the evil spirit be dispelled.
"Shouhe is still Elder Xuan of Wuxin Dharma Hall, don't they care?"
Chen Fan put down the newspaper in his hand. If Shouhe did all of these, then he would have already committed a serious crime. How could such a big matter be hidden from the eyes of Wuxin Fatang?Even if Shouhe covers the sky with one hand, aren't there three other elders?
Qiu Changchun shook his head. "I have checked the classics. Wuxin Dharma Hall was originally founded in the Ming Dynasty. It was originally intended to assist the king to ascend the throne, but later I didn't know that the king died in the palace. The original founder left a last word before his death. As long as anyone can bring the corpse of the king, he can give him one of the most important treasures of Wuxin Dharma Hall. At that time, Shouhe brought the corpse of the king to Wuxin Dharma Hall and asked to exchange the treasure. Give him a stone."
When Chen Fan heard it, he knew that the people the master was talking about were Hu Bugui and Gaoxi, but he didn't know about the matter that Shouhe found the corpse later.
"Stone?"
Qiu Changchun smiled slightly, with a trace of complacency in his eyes. "That's right. At that time, the people of Wuxin Dharma Hall said that the elder who died once said that the spirit of Wuxin Dharma Hall is just like this stone. It is tough and tenacious. The heart that defends yin and yang will not be shaken by external things, so I sent it The most important thing is of course the stone. But how could Shouhe agree, but the body has been taken away and sent to another place, he has no choice but to be the head of the Wuxin Dharma Hall."
"At that time, the people of Wuxin Fatang were loyal to the deceased founder, but worried that Shouhe would not get what he wanted and would make a big fuss. At that time, no one was his opponent, so he had to compromise. But in order not to let him Covering the sky with one hand, he simply elected three more people and became four elders, weighing and suppressing each other."
Qiu Changchun sighed, sat down on the chair slowly, and continued: "Originally, their idea was that as long as Shouhe died, the Wuxin Dharma Hall would be restored again. Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, a group of elders left Another batch, only he has survived. After a long time, the other three elders can't play the role of balance at all, but let him cover the sky with one hand, and the whole Wuxin Dharma Hall is his world."
After listening to Chen Fan, he felt that it was exactly the same as his guess, but he still had a doubt. "Master, how can you know so clearly?"
Qiu Changchun smiled slightly, and his voice suddenly became low, as if he had changed into a different person: "Once you enter the Tianzitang, you will be doomed. Do you remember this sentence?"
Chen Fan's eyes widened in an instant. How could he not remember that when he was trapped in the Herringbone Hall, someone rescued him, and it turned out to be Master!
"Master, why are you in the Wuxin Dharma Hall? Could it be that you..." Chen Fan thought about it for a while, and the only person mentioned at that time was the elder who had a grudge against Shouhe and always wanted to frame him.
"Master, are you an elder?"
Qiu Changchun finally nodded, and said with a bit of resentment, "I wanted you to go, but I didn't expect that instead of leaving, you would go inside yourself. I'm really mad at you."
Chen Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Where did I know that there was a difference of two words, and the final result was so much worse."
Not only did they mean the opposite, but they even led them to find Gaoxi's body by mistake.
In the evening, Chen Xiulan came back again. She anxiously stood by the door and looked around for a while, and asked several times when her daughter would arrive, but was called by Chen Fan.
"Chen Xiulan, before your daughter arrives, I still have a few questions I want to ask you."
Chen Xiulan looked at him curiously. "what is the problem?"
Chen Fan thought for a while and asked, "How is your relationship with your daughter?"
Chen Xiulan's expression darkened when she heard this question. "What do you mean? I'm busy every day just for Xiaoyi, don't you know? Xiaoyi is my sweetheart, of course I treat her well!"
Chen Fan was silent, before Qiu Changchun only said that Shouhe needs to raise evil spirits, and raising evil spirits requires killing his own blood relatives, but there is one more point.Even though the dead people have become ghosts, they will not easily attack those who are related to them unless they have resentment in their hearts.
Thinking of how Xi Yi saw Chen Xiulan yesterday, Chen Fan felt a little strange at the time, but after thinking about it now, he connected it.
What Xi Yi was most afraid of was Chen Xiulan. Since she appeared, she immediately became obedient, but under this obedience, the resentment behind her grew exponentially.
Chen Xiulan is still complaining constantly: "Is it easy for me to do so much? After hard work, I finally sent her to the school. Originally, she couldn't get in with her grades. If I didn't run to school every day, how could the principal agree to it?" ? And finally sent her in, but she said she jumped off the building, have you ever thought about my feeling as a mother?"
She rambled on for a while, wiped away her tears, stood up and said to Chen Fan: "When I saw her tonight, I must ask her, what is she thinking? Am I sorry for her?"
