When An Rugu heard about the ghost welcoming the bride, she became curious and asked, "How do you know it's a ghost welcoming the bride?"
The middle-aged man recalled what had just happened with lingering fear, his face as pale as paper: "I don't live in Tangchi Village, I live in Jiangshui Village in the northern suburbs of Nancheng. Today is not the Zhongyuan Festival, I went home early to worship my ancestors. There are not many people in our Jiangshui Village, only a few old people are left.
At that time, I passed by an empty old house in the village and suddenly heard a noise inside.
An old woman's voice said, Alas, he is coming to marry you, and you can't escape.
Then a young woman's crying voice came, "I don't recognize him. I can't marry him again!"
An Rugu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her expression gradually became cautious: "Are you sure that's an old house with no one in it?"
"I am sure, absolutely certain! That is the old house of Lao Bai at the entrance of our village. After Lao Bai's son died, he didn't want to stay at home, so the whole family went abroad. No one has lived in the old house for more than ten years.
The elders in my village used to tell me that I must be careful when walking during the Ghost Festival and never disturb the ghosts passing by.
I was a little scared, but then I thought, it's impossible for a ghost to come out in broad daylight, isn't that courting death?"
Shang Yue's face darkened: "..."
An Rugu glanced at Shang Yue, a faint smile appeared in her eyes.
If ghosts can only appear at night, then who is the person next to the middle-aged man?
The middle-aged man had no idea what was going on in the ghost's mind. When he thought about what he had just experienced, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, swallowed, and became very nervous.
"I thought it might be the villagers talking inside, so I approached the gate, and it was not locked. This confirmed my idea that it might be Lao Bai and his family who had returned.
I have a very good relationship with Lao Bai. He has been abroad for so many years and I miss him a lot.
I pushed open the door while shouting Lao Bai's name, but no one answered me.
I looked around but couldn't find anyone!
Out of the corner of my eye I suddenly caught a glimpse of the table in the living room, on which were two urns. Oh my God, I almost fainted from fright.
Those two voices were probably the two urns talking.
I turned around on the spot and ran away without looking back."
Shang Yue, who was standing by, heard what the middle-aged man said and guessed that the middle-aged man might have been possessed by evil spirits.
She covered her mouth and laughed, "You are so brave. If they hadn't wanted to hurt you, you would have probably lost your life there."
The middle-aged man wanted to cry but had no tears: "I don't know why I encountered a ghost in broad daylight."
An Rugu thought for a moment and explained, "Ordinary ghosts can only appear at night, but ghosts with some skills can walk during the day."
The middle-aged man became more frightened after hearing this, not knowing what to do, and quickly asked An Rugu: "Master, please help me, I don't want to be haunted by those two ghosts."
An Rugu's eyes fell on the faint ghost aura on him and she shook her head slowly: "Don't worry, they are not bothering you and will not come after you in the future. But you were frightened this time, so it is inevitable that you have bad luck on you. You can go buy some mugwort and pat it on your body, and the bad luck will disappear."
The mugwort plant has a strong aroma that can drive away evil spirits.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, many people will place mugwort at the doorstep of their homes, and some adults will use mugwort soaked in water to bathe their children, which can drive away evil spirits and prevent plague. The mugwort will not be thrown away until it turns from green to yellow and dries up.
After visiting the grave, pat your body with mugwort before entering the house, so as not to bring bad luck home.
The middle-aged man was very grateful after hearing this. He seemed to remember something and said, "Master, I have watched your live broadcast. I heard that you have that amulet. Can you sell me some? I don't want to run into ghosts again next time."
An Rugu hummed: "Okay."
The middle-aged man bought a few amulets, stuffed them into his shirt pocket, and held them tightly against his body. Only then did he relax and walk away happily.
.................
An Rugu looked at the middle-aged man's back, lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes.
The theft of Nancheng town's property affected the feng shui of the entire Nancheng. As a native of Nancheng, she could not stand idly by.
The talisman of South City is a treasure of great luck. Just think about it, and you will know the fate of the talisman if it falls into the hands of an evil cultivator. It will definitely be destroyed by the other party!
Time is of the essence and we cannot afford to lose.
She closed her eyes, raised her right hand, and counted on her fingers to calculate the chances of finding the talisman.
After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes.
The clue that Tianji gave her was that the only chance of getting the treasure back was in Jiangshui Village in the northern suburbs of Nancheng!
This was exactly the place where the middle-aged man encountered a ghost just now.
Could it be that Fang Ruoshui hid the talisman in Jiangshui Village?
She thought about it and quickly made a decision. No matter whether it was true or not, she had to make this trip.
It happened that at this time, it was already dark and it was almost closing time for the Taoist temple.
"Shang Yue, please accompany me for a walk."
Shang Yue thought of the Yin Qi, wiped his mouth, and nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
An Rugu then closed the gate of the Taoist temple and took Shang Yue with him to Jiangshui Village in the northern suburbs of Nancheng.
After several hours of bumpy ride, the sky darkened and it was already dusk. The taxi gradually approached Jiangshui Village.
Jiangshui Village has developed more slowly than Tangchi Village. The road is not made of cement but dirt. The roadside is planted with small trees with lush branches and leaves. There are endless rice fields near the village.
The village was shrouded in a thin mist, everything became blurry and it was impossible to see the houses in the distance.
At this moment, the taxi driver turned the steering wheel sharply and shouted in surprise: "Damn, when did a big rock appear in front of us!"
For some reason, he kept turning the steering wheel, as if he had lost his sense of direction.
An Rugu raised her eyes, her deep black eyes were like obsidian, looking through the mist into the distance.
There is no big rock in front of us. It is just the entrance of Jiangshui Village.
The driver saw the wrong scene and steered the wheel frantically. The reason was obvious - he was stuck in a maze!
"Master, please stop, don't drive anymore."
The driver asked curiously, "It's still a while from here to the village entrance. Are they really not going to open?"
"No, we're done here. When you go back, remember to be careful and drive in a straight line. Don't steer."
driver:"……"
He is obviously an experienced driver, but he is being taught how to drive by passengers?
After An Rugu paid the money, she and Shang Yue got off the car one after another.
Then he took out a talisman to exorcise evil spirits. The talisman ignited without wind and the shadows of complex symbols appeared on it.
When the shadow took shape, a gust of wind blew, making people close their eyes involuntarily. When they opened their eyes again, the scene in front of them was completely new.
"Ah, why did my car go back to the original road?" the driver shouted in horror.
The car was not heading towards Jiangshui Village, but instead towards the road it came from.
He was clearly just turning the car, so why did it turn 180 degrees?
He seemed to have thought of something and immediately opened the car window, looking at An Rugu's gradually receding figure. Thinking of what she had said before, he gradually realized that something was unusual.
Damn, this passenger is something!
...............
An Rugu walked to the entrance of Jiangshui Village, paused, looked up, and his eyes fell on the sign at the entrance of the village.
The three words "Jiangshui Village" are golden in surface, but at this moment, they seem to be covered by a shadow, with a trace of yin energy entwined around the plaque, revealing a faint ominous meaning.
During the day, ordinary ghosts are afraid of sunlight and cannot walk freely. But at dusk, the gates of hell will open wide and thousands of ghosts will parade. When it is completely dark, it will be even more dangerous.
At this moment, a distant and cheerful nursery rhyme suddenly came from the side, as if a child was singing.
"Ghosts come out of the ghost gate
Ghost Bitterness
Selling tofu
Rotten tofu
Scrambled eggs
Eggs, eggs, crack
There's a brother sitting inside
My brother came out to visit the grave
There's a grandma sitting inside
Grandma comes out to burn incense
There's a girl sitting inside
Girl, come out and light the lamp
Falling into the river and unable to come back
..."
The singing sound was getting closer and closer, and gradually came to my side. An old woman with completely white hair and a hunched body came from behind, followed by two children of six or seven years old.
They were holding baskets in their hands, their faces were pale, their eyes were dull, and their limbs were stiff.
The two children clapped their hands and sang: "On the 15th day of the seventh month, send off the ghosts~"
At this time, the old woman mechanically raised her head and looked at An Rugu and Shang Yue who were standing under the plaque.
She pursed her dry lips, opened her mouth, and uttered a hoarse voice: "On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Ghost King will be welcoming his bride. Don't disturb him. Leave immediately."
An Rugu: “?”
The old woman thought that the beautiful woman would be frightened, but she didn't expect her eyes to widen slightly. She didn't show any fear at all, but a little... excited?
There was a cold light flashing in her dark pupils, as if she had thought of something. She pulled up the corners of her mouth, a smile as bright as the sun on her face, and took out a red apple from the bag.
"I love attending banquets the most. I also want to see the Ghost King getting married, drink a glass of wedding wine, and share in the joy. I wonder if I can have this honor?"
Old woman: “…”
The two children beside the old woman stopped singing: "..."
If the scene wasn't so strange, the old woman would have even felt that she was an extremely young and polite young man, who came to her door enthusiastically and wanted to attend the banquet.
But why would ordinary people want to attend a ghost's banquet?
The old woman opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. After a long time, she turned around and walked into the gate of Jiangshui Village, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
The two children looked at An Rugu curiously, then followed the old woman into the gate.
An Rugu watched their backs gradually disappear, and put away her smile. As if she had thought of something, she opened her phone and found the middle-aged man's WeChat. They had used WeChat to transfer money before.
She dialed the WeChat number, and soon after, the call was connected, and the middle-aged man's surprised voice came from the other end: "Master, what do you want to see me for? What's the matter?"
"Are you in Jiangshui Village now?"
The middle-aged man said with lingering fear: "How dare I stay there? I'm already in the city now."
"I just saw an old woman in her sixties, with two children beside her. The old woman had a black mole the size of a fingernail on her forehead, and one of the children had a limp in his left foot. Do you recognize these people?"
There was a sudden scream from the other end of the phone. After a long while, the trembling voice of the middle-aged man came: "That... I think I have seen someone who looks like what you said."
"Who is it?"
"It was Lao Bai's mother at the entrance of the village... His mother went up the mountain to chop wood, and she slipped and fell down the mountain. She couldn't be saved. She had a big mole on her forehead. The fortune teller in the village said that she would die a violent death, but the fact turned out to be true... Alas."
An Rugu seemed to be thinking: "There is a child with a limp in his left foot, and another child is very thin. They seem to have a very good relationship. They sing and play together. Do you recognize them?"
The middle-aged man thought for a long time, as if he had thought of something, and took a breath: "... About five or six years ago, two children in our village went into the water to catch lobsters and drowned. Later, our village secretary hung a sign near the pond, asking people not to get close to the pond. One of the children had a limp, and the other was a little thin. Could it be them?"
“This possibility cannot be ruled out.”
Middle-aged man: “!!!”
The middle-aged man quickly grasped the amulet in his pocket, feeling extremely frightened.
An Rugu already had a guess in her mind, so she didn't ask any more questions. She thanked the other party and hung up the phone.
Shang Yue thought of the three ghosts she had just seen, and her eyes curved with a smile: "Oh, this small place actually has enough Yin energy to support three ghosts. It's really a Feng Shui treasure land!"
An Rugu frowned slightly: "And the Ghost King is here to welcome the bride."
Such a small village like Jiangshui can hide so many ghosts that it is not an exaggeration to call it a ghost den.
Moreover, the title of Ghost King made her expression even more solemn.
The Ten Kings of Hell are the ten great ghost kings in the underworld. There are also four great ghost kings in folk culture, the most famous of which is Zhong Kui. There are also some ghost kings in Buddhism, such as the Heavenly Thunder Ghost King, the Wolf Fang Ghost King, and the Thousand Eyes Ghost King.
Apart from these more famous ghost kings, there are countless other lesser ghost kings.
Just like the rebellions of the common people in ancient times, you can occupy a mountain, recruit some men and become a local emperor.
I don’t know whether the ghost king of Jiangshui Village is a big ghost king or a small ghost king with average strength.
If it is the Big Ghost King, then it will be difficult to deal with.
An Rugu pondered for a moment, packed up his things, and walked into the gate of Jiangshui Village.
She just came here to look for a talisman and should not come into conflict with the Ghost King.
Moreover, even if he is the Great Ghost King, he cannot be unreasonable, otherwise he will ask the ghost messenger to reason with the ghost king.
.............
Recalling the direction the old woman had just gone, An Rugu and Shang Yue followed her. After entering Jiangshui Village, they turned right and saw a long road with many houses on both sides of the road.
The backs of the old woman and two children came into view. They walked and walked until they reached the door of a house, then opened the door and walked in.
An Rugu followed them and came to the door of the house.
This is an old Hui-style house, with the same style as her haunted house, but not as luxurious as her haunted house. The white walls and green tiles have become black due to wind and sun, and it looks a bit eerie.
She stood in front of the door, knocked gently, and said politely: "Hello, grandma, I want to ask you something."
However, there was no sound from inside the door for a long time, and no one paid any attention to her.
Until she knocked on the door repeatedly, she finally heard the old woman's familiar hoarse voice from inside the door: "What do you want to ask? I know nothing."
"Did you see a strange woman come here and hide something in your village?"
At this time, the voice of a strange young woman came, and her voice was gentle and soft: "Yes."
An Rugu was somewhat happy: "Then please tell me where she is, I have something urgent to tell her."
Sure enough, Fang Ruoshui hid the thing in Jiangshui Village. As long as she found Fang Ruoshui, she would be confident that she could take the talisman back before she destroyed it.
"——It's you."
An Rugu: “…”
As soon as the woman finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from inside, including the laughter of children, adults, and even an old woman.
Shang Yue next to him couldn't help laughing. The joke wasn't funny, but the person who joked with An Rugu was really brave.
These ghosts are really like newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers.
As expected, An Rugu felt fooled and frowned. She had no intention of continuing to stalemate with them. She simply pushed open the door shrouded in ghostly aura and walked into the house.
She was wearing a black shirt, the collar of which revealed her jade-smooth collarbone. The cuffs were embroidered with patterns and had bright yellow forged edges. She looked unrestrained, high-spirited and imposing.
There was clearly a ghostly aura lingering on the door, and ordinary people couldn't get in at all, so how did she suddenly break in? !
The seven or eight ghosts in the room were startled, but when they saw An Rugu looking so charming, they were stunned and stood there in a daze.
An Rugu glanced at these ghosts. These men and women, young and old, had no blood debt on them and were wearing very modern clothes. They must be new ghosts.
She glanced at everyone and said in a cold voice: "Who spoke to me just now?"
Oops, this mysterious man is angry!
All the ghosts looked evasive, wondering whether they should say it or not.
The sharp eyes swept over them and they trembled all over.
Then they all raised their hands at the same time and pointed quietly at the urn on the table in the living room.
Urn: “…”
......................
There are two urns on the table, one of which is made of golden nanmu sunken wood, and is brown-black in color.
Golden nanmu is one of the most precious woods in China, with the fragrance of nanmu. In the past, the tables, chairs and cabinets of the royal family were basically ordered from golden nanmu. It is not exclusive to the nobility now, but it is also very expensive.
When An Rugu saw this scene, she suddenly remembered what the middle-aged man had said to her. She thought that this must be the place where the middle-aged man encountered the ghost.
As for the old woman's voice, it should be the old woman she saw. The young woman's voice...
An Rugu walked to the golden nanmu urn, his eyes solemn: "I really have something urgent to do, please tell me any clues you know."
After a while, a gentle voice of a woman came from the urn: "I'm sorry, but I didn't lie to you. There hasn't been a strange woman in the village for a long time. You are the only one."
An Rugu listened carefully and thought about it silently. She felt that her tone did not sound like she was lying, so she asked, "Has anything strange happened recently?"
The originally cheerful woman suddenly fell silent and didn't speak for a long time. No one knew what she was thinking.
There was a quiet atmosphere in the air. No one responded for a long time. It was as quiet as death.
The old woman who had been watching saw this, her eyes fell on An Rugu, and a faint hope suddenly appeared in her eyes. She pursed her lips and said, "Child, you can walk here safely. You are not an ordinary person. Can you help her and get her out of the urn?"
"What's going on?"
This woman couldn't even get out of the urn?
An Rugu's eyes fell on the golden nanmu urn, which was surrounded by a thick evil aura and a strange seal.
The old woman gritted her teeth and said, "In fact, she is my grandson's wife. She was locked in an urn by my grandson for many years. She can't get out at all. I want her to come out."
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman's crying voice came from the urn: "Grandma Bai, forget it. If he finds out, we will all die."
"He is my grandson and he won't hurt me."
The old woman put down the basket in her hand and knelt down in front of An Rugu, as if she regarded An Rugu as her only hope: "Please save her!"
An Rugu couldn't bear to see the old lady kneeling, so she raised her hand to help the old lady up and asked curiously: "Your grandson wants to marry her, he must love her very much, why did you lock her up?"
The old woman stood up straight and sighed: "Because..."
"Let me tell you." The woman in the urn gnashed her teeth and said, "The reason I died so young is because he killed me!"
An Rugu: “!”
"What's going on?"
The woman's trembling voice reached my ears: "Bai Wei, his name is Bai Wei. My legs are crippled, and my body is so weak that I won't live past the age of thirty.
My family sent me to see a doctor, and he was the attending doctor for my legs. He was tall and handsome, and had a good temper, and was a popular doctor in the hospital.
I also have some feelings for him, but I know that I am physically disabled and not worthy of him, so I have never fantasized about anything else.
But not long after, he expressed his affection for me. I felt like I was dreaming, and it was not until I confirmed it again and again that I dared to believe that he really liked me.
I told him everything about my disability and my short life, and he accepted it all.
My family helped me check his background. He has a clean background, a well-off family, is young and promising, and has a bright future.
I don't really care about these external conditions, I just like him as a person. Almost all of my family members agree that we should be together, except for my sister who I have a very good relationship with.
But I liked him so much that I married him despite my sister's objection.
Our relationship was very good after marriage. He didn't mind that I was disabled or that I had a short life. He would personally massage my gradually shrinking legs every day, looking at me with eyes full of love. I was physically disabled, so he and the housekeeper took care of all the housework and never let me do any work.
He also smiled and told me that he married me just to make me a princess.
I thought I was living a very happy life until that day when I accidentally discovered his secret.
—He’s a murderer.”
The woman's voice trembled as she spoke and she began to cry: "I hate myself for not listening to my sister. If I die, she will be so sad!"
When An Rugu heard this, she had some guesses in her mind and asked curiously, "Then why is he dead? And why did he become a ghost king and want to marry you?"
The woman sobbed twice and said, "I discovered his secret, and when I called the police, he discovered it, so he killed me.
He hid it extremely well and his skills in destroying the body were amazing, leaving no evidence behind. He then told my family that I was missing.
After my family found out, they immediately called the police, but the police could not find any clues and could only declare me a missing person.
Everyone thought that I had suddenly run away from home, but my sister was the only one who felt something was wrong. She didn't believe his lies and knew that I was in great danger, so she confronted Bai Wei repeatedly and asked him to hand me over.
Bai Wei is very perverted. He gave my sister a fake urn and said that I was in the box.
The contents of the box were not my ashes, so they were not considered evidence. I guess he handed over the box in order to trick my sister into calling the police, so that she would go from hope to disappointment and thus collapse.
The real me is sealed in the urn behind him.
I wanted to kill this man so that he would not bully my sister."
The woman cried and laughed like crazy when she said this: "But my sister didn't call the police, nor did she use the urn as evidence to prove that I was not missing, but was killed by Bai Wei.
She turned to Bai Wei's house and put an ancient painting of a female ghost with disheveled hair.
That night, Bai Wei was tortured repeatedly by a female ghost in his dream. He could neither live nor die. In the morning, he had stopped breathing.
Now Bai Wei and I are both dead. If I don't want to marry him, I will never be able to leave, not even to reincarnate."
What she didn't say was that Bai Wei also placed his grandmother's urn next to her, probably hoping that his grandmother would persuade her to give in.
..................
After hearing her words, An Rugu paused and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
What the woman said sounded all too familiar.
Isn’t this the criminal record of Fang Ruoshui that Lin Weiyu once told her about?
It is said that Fang Ruoshui put the ghost painting into her brother-in-law's room, causing him to die suddenly that night. Since then, she has been on the wanted list. In order to escape the pursuit, she even joined Youdu. Now she is a Class A wanted criminal of the Special Management Bureau.
She was just about to ask if this woman was Fang Ruoshui's sister.
At this moment, there was a burst of suona music outside the door. The suona music was so passionate that it penetrated the eardrum and went straight into the brain.
When the ghosts in the house heard the sound of the suona, they nervously picked up their baskets and stood up quickly, as if they were waiting for some distinguished guests.
When the suona sounds, hundreds of ghosts come to welcome the bride.
An Rugu walked out of the gate and looked into the distance. Unbeknownst to her, a procession of weddings and funerals appeared on the avenue at the gate. Some people were beating gongs and drums, and some were playing suona. In the center was a big red sedan chair.
These people had pale faces but extremely red lips, as if they had been painted with lipstick, and their cheeks looked like they had been rouge-covered. They did not walk on the ground, but rather floated in the air.
They are neither humans nor ghosts, but paper figures, so they are very slow.
The ghosts in the house were very scared when they heard the sound.
"We were originally coming out of the underworld during the 15th day of the seventh lunar month to visit our hometown and eat some offerings, but we were captured and brought here by the Ghost King, who wanted us to welcome his bride."
"He also said that the bride likes excitement. If it's not lively, he will scare us to death."
"But the bride doesn't want to get married, what should I do?"
"If we don't marry him, the ghost king will definitely kill us. Otherwise, you should marry him first, live a little longer, and then escape when the chaos comes."
The woman in the urn gnashed her teeth, but the balance in her heart gradually shifted: "Bai Wei!"
These people serve as both the atmosphere creation group for the wedding reception and hostages.
She couldn't stand by and watch these people die because of her.
The woman burst into tears and murmured, "Ruoshui, when will you come to save me? I don't want to stay here anymore. I miss you."
She cried quietly, but she knew that her sister would not come. It was not because she felt that her sister was unwilling to come, but because she definitely could not come.
Her soul was sealed in the urn, isolating it from any aura, even the twins' senses were completely blocked, not to mention the magic. Bai Wei knew this, so he dared to be so bold and presumptuous.
The hope in her heart was like a candle in the wind, gradually extinguished.
The old woman sat there, supporting her head, looking painful, not knowing what to do.
There was a suffocating despair in the air.
However, at this moment, An Rugu suddenly walked in from outside, holding a living creature in her hand. The creature was covered with feathers, making a clacking sound and fluttering all the time.
The woman asked curiously, "What is this?"
"The hen was bought from the neighboring family." An Rugu's cold voice came.
The elderly couple next door did not dare to go out during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even if they heard some noise, they did not dare to go out. An Rugu heard the sound of a chicken crowing in their house, so she knocked on the door and bought a hen.
woman:"???"
Other ghosts: “???”
The wedding procession was about to arrive. An Rugu knew that the matter was urgent and did not intend to explain too much.
Simply tie the hen's feet and then tie its mouth, so the hen can't make any sound.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the hen was placed on the golden nanmu urn, with the hen and the urn tightly pressed together.
The woman in the urn: “…”
Others: “…”
Before anyone could ask why, a gust of cold wind blew and the door was suddenly opened by an invisible hand.
The wedding procession appeared at the door, the sedan chair in the middle was shaking, and the musicians and sedan bearers had empty eyes.
An Rugu picked up the hen that was full of the scent of a woman, walked into the middle of the paper figures, approached the red sedan chair, lifted the curtain, and put the hen inside.
The paper people sensed that they had brought the bride and immediately took action.
The musicians played music on their own initiative, the sedan bearers lifted the sedan, and the group of people floated away in the air without touching the ground, accompanied by the cold wind.
The bright red team gradually went away, leaving only their dim silhouettes.
The woman in the urn: “???”
Others: “???”
Is it so easy to get rid of the wedding procession?
The woman was very curious: "How did you deceive them?"
An Rugu said calmly, "In ancient times, when the groom was seriously ill, the bride would come to get good luck. During the wedding ceremony, a rooster would be used to replace the groom. Later, some wealthy families killed their concubines and were afraid that the concubines would come back for revenge, so they used roosters to replace themselves and the ghost bride to complete the ghost marriage.
Paper figures have no intelligence at all and can only do mechanical things. The musicians can only play music and the sedan bearers can only carry the sedan but cannot speak. When they sense your breath, they think they have received the bride.
I just wanted to try it out with hens, but I didn’t expect it to work.”
The woman in the urn: “!!!”
Others: “!!!”
“Awesome!”
“You can actually do this.”
"That's amazing! You must be a master!"
Everyone was overjoyed. They had deceived the wedding procession. The woman did not have to marry the man who killed her, and they did not have to die.
It's a double blessing! No need to worry anymore.
..................
Everyone was very happy, but An Rugu shook her head slightly: "This is just a way to delay the wedding procession. When the time comes for the real wedding ceremony, the truth will still be revealed."
The source of power for the paper man's actions is the driver.
Bai Wei's power should not be underestimated as he was able to drive such a huge wedding procession of hundreds of people at once. It was impossible for him to be fooled by a small hen during the wedding ceremony.
When everyone heard this, they became scared again and didn't know what to do. Some cowardly ghosts just threw away the basket and turned around to run away.
They were timid people when they were alive, and they were not very brave after their death. They just wanted to come up and have some fun during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they didn't expect to be threatened by evil spirits.
It’s so scary, they are going back to the underworld!
An Rugu turned her head and looked at the old woman: "Do you know where your grandson got married?"
The old woman immediately replied: "In our village ancestral hall, it was built at a great cost and is the most luxurious place in our village. Master, run away before my grandson finds you!"
The woman in the urn: "What about you?"
"He's my grandson, he won't hurt me. I'll hold him back."
Although the old woman said this, she was not sure at all. She died early, and had no fate with this grandson. Moreover, he had become a cruel murderer who even killed his beloved wife. How much did she, the grandmother, mean to him?
The woman in the urn knew that it would be dangerous for the old woman to stay here alone, and she was unwilling to abandon her: "We will go together, and we will never leave you alone!"
"Oh, silly child."
Everyone began to plan what to do next, as if they were about to part with their loved ones.
An Rugu raised her hand and grabbed the urn. She delayed time because she wanted to work on the seal on the urn.
The woman thought that she was going to take her away, so she quickly thanked An Rugu: "Master, thank you for saving my life. Please tell my sister about this. My sister will definitely come to save me, and then our whole family will give her a generous gift."
An Rugu had a clue in her mind, but she deliberately asked, "Is your sister very powerful?"
The woman said excitedly: "Do you know Lu Ban's magic? She is proficient in Lu Ban's magic, very powerful. I don't think Bai Wei is her opponent, so he locked me up and didn't let my sister find me."
His words were full of trust and longing for his sister, and he couldn't wait to see her right now.
"What are your and your sister's names?"
"My name is Fang Shangshan, and her name is Fang Ruoshui."
"The highest good is like water?"
"That's right."
An Rugu's eyes fell on the golden nanmu urn. After repeatedly examining the seal, she had some clues, but she didn't show any expression on her face. "You mean... if you come out, your sister will be able to find you and come to rescue you immediately?"
Fang Shangshan's voice was full of attachment: "Yes, I almost got lost once when I was a child, and she found me through the twin sense. As long as you can let me out, my sister will definitely come to save us."
An Rugu raised her lips and suddenly understood something.
No wonder the glimmer of hope revealed by heaven lies in this village.
If she could release Fang Ruoshui's sister, the close sister she mentioned would come to her immediately. In this case, Fang Ruoshui would have no time and opportunity to destroy the talisman.
However, Fang Shangshan thought about it and felt that his idea was too naive. He was a little listless: "Alas, I almost forgot that this seal is very strong. I am pressed so hard that I can't turn over. It is difficult to open it. Why don't we take advantage of this time to escape quickly."
However, An Rugu refused: "I recognize this seal, it's the Soul Locking Curse."
When the woman heard the name, she said, "This is an evil curse."
"The Soul Locking Curse can also be used to lock souls and suppress evil." An Rugu shook his head: "There is no distinction between good and evil in magic, but people are divided into good and evil, just like a knife. Some people use it to save people, and some people use it to harm people. Isn't your Lu Ban magic the same?"
The woman fell into deep thought after hearing this. It seemed to be true. Her sister had saved people and also harmed her husband. Her former husband, who was a doctor, had saved many people, but he killed her with a knife.
There is no good or bad tool. It depends on whether people use it in the right way.
An Rugu raised his hands, made hand gestures, and for the first time recited the soul-releasing spell that was the opposite of the soul-locking spell: "Heavenly lock, earthly lock, please take the golden lock. Golden lock, silver lock, spiritual sacrifice. The golden lock locks the soul, locks up the mind, makes it unstable, and makes it insane and unable to move. The name is unknown, the surname is unknown, the soul-locking ghost, lock up the soul quickly, lock up the sick and unable to live, and is confused all the time. I am following the imperial order, and the ancestor is in a hurry!"
She also didn't know whether she could succeed because she didn't know the ability of the opposing spellcaster.
During the process, An Rugu suddenly felt her lips opening and closing stiffly, and it was a little difficult to pronounce words, as if something was stopping her. This was the exact game involved in breaking the seal.
Fortunately, this kind of resistance was relatively small for her, and she finished reciting the soul-releasing spell with a serious expression.
Something in the air seemed to break with a crack. The crack in the urn moved, and a young woman floated out of it.
Fang Shangshan has a beautiful and gentle appearance, with soft eyebrows and eyes, and looks exactly like Fang Ruoshui on the wanted poster.
She stared at An Rugu blankly, then looked down at herself, and couldn't believe that she had actually come out of the urn.
It took him a long time to react. He thanked An Rugu repeatedly and admired him very much: "Thank you very much, Master, for saving my life. I will definitely repay you handsomely someday!"
This is not just a nice word. For the people in the underworld, promises are binding. Once they say something, they will definitely do it, otherwise it will damage their virtue.
The others were overjoyed to see Fang Shangshan escape. The old woman was so excited that she burst into tears, raised her hands and hugged Fang Shangshan, and started crying.
The person their family feels most sorry for is Fang Shangshan.
An Rugu suddenly looked up at the gate, a complex look flashed in his eyes. A dangerous aura was approaching and was about to arrive here.
Is it Fang Ruoshui or Bai Wei?
................
Just when everyone was in ecstasy, a strong and cold wind suddenly blew over.
The negative energy completely enveloped the house. Black fog filled the room and gradually turned into substance. The temperature became colder and colder. It was clearly summer, but the temperature dropped below zero.
At the same time, the door that had been closed was opened again, and a tall and thin man walked in. He was wearing a bright red double-breasted wide-sleeved shirt, dressed like an ancient bridegroom.
He has fair skin, a clear jawline, a thin figure, and is very handsome, full of gentleness.
His sharp eyes fell on Fang Shangshan first.
Fang Shangshan took two steps back in fear and said angrily, "Bai Wei!"
Bai Wei threw the hen in his right hand to the ground and politely extended his hand to Fang Shangshan: "Stop making trouble. Today is our big day. Didn't you always say that a Western wedding is not good enough and you want a Chinese wedding? Isn't this Chinese wedding good enough?"
Fang Shangshan closed his eyes. Hundreds of people came to welcome the bride, and the wedding was ten miles long. It was simply the best wedding.
But the prerequisite is that the person she marries is not her murderer!
"Get lost! I will never be with you again, you perverted murderer!"
Bai Wei heard this, and the faint smile froze on his face, with a hint of danger in his eyes: "I don't want to kill you either, it's your fault for not listening."
Fang Shangshan's eyes were filled with tears: "You said you didn't want to kill me, do you think I believe you?"
Bai Wei sighed softly, his movements were elegant and graceful, which was very consistent with his image as a famous doctor: "If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do."
In fact, he wanted to keep Fang Shangshan as a collection at first, but as they spent more time together, he saw that the person was very pure and kind, just like his name.
It seems that it is also good to make him feel that the collection is fresh.
But that day, Fang Shangshan, who was in a wheelchair, accidentally found the key, opened his collection room, saw his "collection", and tremblingly prepared to call the police.
Then... there is no other way.
Fang Shangshan gnashed his teeth. If he didn't know that he was inferior to Bai Wei, he would have wanted to die with Bai Wei right now: "Is there a single word of truth in your mouth? A pervert like you should be cut into pieces. Wait for my sister to come, you will die a miserable death!"
When Bai Wei heard Fang Shangshan's words, the hypocritical smile on his face immediately disappeared.
He also didn't expect that the Fang Shangshan he provoked was not an ordinary rich girl, but was from the secretive Lu Ban Sect.
He was not afraid of Fang Shangshan, nor was he afraid of the man next to him who released Fang Shangshan, but he was somewhat afraid of Fang Ruoshui who tortured him to death.
That person's obsession with my sister was simply insane. He killed people without finding any evidence or verifying anything. It's no exaggeration to compare him to me.
But on second thought, he felt happy again.
On the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, the gates of hell open, and when he brings Fang Shangshan to the underworld, even if Fang Ruoshui can attack the ghost, she won't be able to catch him down.
Bai Wei put a smile on his face again, stepped forward, and said softly, as if he would not accept rejection, "Let's go, we should go underground."
"Go to hell, you pervert!" Fang Shangshan said in despair.
She is very well-mannered, and even when she hates someone to the extreme she will only call them a pervert, which does not hurt others at all.
The old woman, Bai Wei's grandmother, took the initiative to stand in front of Bai Wei and begged in a low voice: "Xiao Wei, love is a matter of mutual consent. You can't force others. What's more, you treated her like that before, how could she marry you?"
Everyone thought that since Bai Wei's grandmother had spoken up, Bai Wei would definitely be moved.
However, Bai Wei frowned, raised his hand, condensed the cold wind into a sword, and swung it at grandma. If she was stabbed, her soul would be injured even if she didn't die.
"I asked you to persuade her, not to persuade me."
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, An Rugu protected Bai Wei's grandmother behind him and raised his hands to form a seal in the blink of an eye to block the cold wind.
Only then did Bai Wei turn his attention to people other than his wife.
He glanced at An Rugu and became interested: "I have the cutest and most beautiful collection, and I also have the kindest wife. I think you are great, and I want the most beautiful collection."
Everyone: “!!!”
Seeing that he dared to be so presumptuous, Fang Shangshan endured his fear and stood in front of An Rugu: "If you have anything to do, come to me, don't hurt others!"
She didn't know how powerful the master was, but she knew Bai Wei was very strong and the master might not be Bai Wei's opponent.
Seeing his wife angry, Bai Wei raised the corner of his mouth and said, "You are jealous, but don't worry, I will only have you as my wife."
Fang Shangshan: “…Get lost!”
Is the murderer's brain circuit so abnormal?
Amid the worried gazes of the crowd, An Rugu smiled softly: "By the way, I forgot to ask you, how does it feel to marry a hen?"
Bai Wei: “!”
Bai Wei never mentioned this matter from beginning to end, just to forget this humiliating experience. Suddenly, the fig leaf was lifted, and the elegant mask was torn apart: "So it was you, a bitch, who plotted against me!"
After the wedding procession arrived at the ancestral hall, he said sweet words and then lifted the curtain, fully expecting to receive his wife's urn.
When I looked closely, I found that the thing lying on the chair was actually a hen!
He is such a noble man... and he actually said sweet words to a hen!
He himself was deeply sinful, and had a lot of resentment and evil spirits in his body. He had to spend a lot of effort every day to stabilize his emotions, so as not to lose his mind and become an evil ghost. But at that time, he was almost so angry that his mind was unstable and he directly turned into an irrational evil ghost.
An Rugu's eyes were cold and his eyebrows were as cold as snow: "You have so much blood debt on you, I don't know how you escaped the pursuit. If you are caught, you will probably stay in the eighteen levels of hell for a thousand years. I don't know where you got the courage to come and get married."
Bai Wei frowned, his eyes were bloodshot, he raised his hand and condensed his Yin energy to stab An Rugu. He didn't want this collection anymore, he wanted to grind her to ashes.
Before An Rugu could make a move, Shang Yue next to him rushed over and cast a spell to freeze Bai Wei in place, making him unable to move.
Shang Yue bit her red lips. Thinking of Bai Wei's show, she always felt that she had lost in some way.
In the past, she put on a phoenix coronet and bridal gown and came to the Wang family to marry Wang Ke. She was dressed very festively, but she was just a lonely ghost, so how could there be such a grand ceremony?
This ghost king is so lucky, the ceremony is so grand and lively, she is really envious.
If she had known earlier, she should have done the same.
But the thought only flashed through her mind, because she had no one she wanted to marry now.
Shang Yue covered her mouth and said sarcastically, "Is this all you can do as a ghost king? Then I'll call you a ghost king too, so I might as well call you the Ghost King of Nancheng."
Bai Wei: “???”
Others: “???”
Bai Wei was a fierce ghost with considerable strength. He mobilized the Yin energy and broke free from the immobilization spell after three seconds.
Because of Shang Yue's ridicule, Bai Wei's hatred shifted to Shang Yue.
The two men fought each other, using all kinds of magic, and the objects in the house fell to the ground with a crackling sound. Some objects were hit by the Yin Qi and turned directly into powder. There were gusts of cold wind around, and the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling could be heard faintly.
The ghost next to him was so scared that he ran out of the door like a bird or an animal.
Apart from the two fighting ghosts, only An Rugu and Fang Shangshan were left in the room.
Bai Wei's fingers were suddenly cut off by the blade transformed from Yin Qi, and deep resentment flashed in his eyes. The strength of Shang Yue in front of him should not be underestimated, it seems that he has to be serious.
He took out two small jars from his pocket while Shang Yue was not paying attention, and scattered the ashes in the jars on the ground. Two evil ghosts in red suddenly floated out of the jars.
Two evil ghosts, a man and a woman, with white faces and fangs, had no rationality at all. They raised their sharp claws and rushed towards Shang Yue.
The ghostly aura on both of them was only deeper than Bai Wei's.
Shang Yue: “!”
"You are using your numbers to bully the minority!"
No moral ethics!
But they were unreasonable. With the help of Bai Wei and two red-clothed ghosts who were stronger than him, his strength suddenly increased three times. Shang Yue was beaten back step by step and had no idea what was happening.
Upon seeing this, An Rugu quickly took out an exorcism talisman from his pocket and threw it at the two evil spirits.
The yellow talisman used specifically to exorcise evil spirits, when touched by the soul of an evil ghost, is like volcanic lava burning the skin, with wisps of green smoke rising up.
The two evil ghosts screamed in pain and were fixed in place. The color of their souls became increasingly transparent, and it was obvious that they were seriously injured.
Bai Wei: “???”
Seeing this, Bai Wei secretly thought that this person was not good. He could freeze two evil spirits at the same time...
His strength is actually stronger than Shang Yue!
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
He was flexible and gave Fang Shangshan a lingering look. He then hid himself and prepared to leave quietly while they were not paying attention.
...............
However, at this moment, a strange woman suddenly ran in from the door, as fast as an arrow. Her eyes were red, and she suddenly stretched out her hands, screaming and strangling Bai Wei's neck.
"I didn't expect you to be hiding here!"
She was clearly a human, but the evil spirit and evil aura on her body were even more serious than that of a ghost. For a moment, Bai Wei felt that he had seen an evil ghost that was even more terrifying than him.
When he saw the woman's face clearly, Bai Wei took a deep breath and showed a rare look of fear. He collapsed to the ground: "Fang, Fang Ruoshui..."
When Fang Shangshan saw his sister coming, he quickly walked out from the side, approached his sister, and broke down crying: "Ruoshui, you are finally here! I have been waiting for you for many years."
Fang Ruoshui paused, loosened her grip on Bai Wei, and looked up at Fang Shangshan in a daze. After sensing Fang Shangshan's location, she had clearly prepared to meet him.
But she was so timid that she could only open her mouth and say stiffly, "Sister."
Two identical twin sisters stared at each other, one was cheerful and generous, the other was silent and reserved.
Fang Shangshan didn't want to care about Bai Wei on the ground at all. He immediately hugged his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time and cried bitterly: "The process of being sealed is really like being unable to live or die. I only thought of you, so I didn't dissipate."
Fang Ruoshui raised her right hand, clenched it and then released it, finally hugging Fang Shangshan. Her calm tone concealed a deep longing: "I, I miss you, too."
Her twin sister is like the other half of her body. Ever since her sister disappeared, she has been thinking about her sister every moment, from the moment she opens her eyes to the moment she closes them.
Bai Wei became uneasy when he saw Fang Ruoshui loosen up on him.
His fear of Fang Ruoshui was so deep that he was controlled by her without her using any witchcraft and he almost forgot that he was a ghost.
The nails of his right claw suddenly grew longer, and while Fang Ruoshui was distracted by her sister, he suddenly grabbed Fang Ruoshui.
If it was normal, Fang Ruoshui would have fought back immediately. But the appearance of her sister whom she had been looking for for many years made her lose her mind and her guard was greatly reduced.
Just as Bai Wei's claws were about to pierce Fang Ruoshui's body, An Rugu suddenly drew a talisman in the air, pushed with his right hand, and a phantom appeared, suddenly hitting Bai Wei's hand.
This is a talisman drawn in the air without cinnabar or yellow paper. It is something that can only be achieved after one's talisman skills have been practiced to the highest level - having the talisman in one's mind.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Bai Wei screamed in pain.
Fang Ruoshui looked around and realized that it was the person next to her who saved her, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.
Then he let go of his sister and looked down at the evil ghost on the ground. He understood in his heart, but asked calmly: "He was the one who killed you and sealed you, right?"
Fang Shangshan burst into hot tears, and cried as if he had found his backer: "I saw human body parts in his collection room, with code names on them. It turned out that he made a man and a woman into his own collection. I wanted to call the police at the time, but he came back right away. I cried and asked him to surrender, but he didn't want to, and he killed me, and then he cremated my body.
The ashes were in a box, and the box he handed you was a fake one.”
A hint of realization flashed across Fang Ruoshui's eyes. No wonder she couldn't find her sister's soul through the urn. So that's how it was.
She looked quietly at Bai Wei lying on the ground: "Why did you do this?"
Why would she do this to her precious sister?
.................
An Rugu, Shang Yue, and Fang Ruoshui were all around, each one more difficult to deal with than the other.
Bai Wei covered his hand which was half burned by An Rugu. He knew that today was going to be a dangerous day. He simply threw away his elegant mask and laughed so hard that his laughter was heart-wrenching and tears of rationality flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"I didn't mean to kill her, but she just didn't accept my other side."
Fang Ruoshui said quietly: "Why do you think she would accept that you have killed someone?"
The smile on Bai Wei's face froze. Yes, he was moved by Fang Shangshan's kindness. The cat pretending to be a mouse fell in love with the mouse, but the mouse could not accept the cat. If Fang Shangshan's kindness would be tainted, he would not like it. From the moment he fell in love with her, they were destined to become enemies one day.
It's ridiculous.
He retracted his thoughts, and glanced at Fang Ruoshui with a cold gaze, and said something that pierced Fang Ruoshui's heart: "Haven't you ever killed anyone?"
Fang Ruoshui was poked in a painful spot, and suddenly a few red bloodshot appeared in his eyes. He took out a talisman from the Lu Ban Sutra from his pocket - the Five Thunder Oil Pool Fire Talisman.
"This oil is not ordinary oil. Lu Ban gave me the oil to burn evil teachers and evil dharma. I wear a fire hat on my head, a fire suit on my body, and fire shoes on my feet. I can burn the evil teachers in the east, the evil teachers in the west, the ghosts and monsters in the north, and the evil dharma in the center. Pregnant women, all the monsters will turn into dust. I respectfully invite the six stars of the Southern Dipper and the seven stars of the Northern Dipper. I obey the order of the Supreme Lord Laozi."
Bai Wei was burned by the invisible flames and screamed hysterically. After a few seconds, he was burned beyond recognition, with only a ghost left. He tried to escape but was caught by Fang Ruoshui.
"Don't think that this is enough. I will grind you to dust and make your life worse than death. I am waiting to see your good show."
The ghost wanted to escape, but was held tightly in Fang Ruoshui's hand and could not escape.
"Give it to me, and I will send him to the underworld. Such a person will go to the eighteen levels of hell and be burned in flames for a thousand years.
Fighting violence with violence is no better than allowing the criminal to be punished by law. Although the former can avenge the grievance, it also soils oneself. "
An Rugu took out his white soul-binding bottle and shook it gently.
The Soul Binding Bottle is one of the five magic weapons of Chuyun Temple. As its name suggests, it can detain souls in the bottle. After knowing that there was a ghost welcoming the bride here, she specially brought the Soul Binding Bottle.
Now two of Bai Wei's men are inside.
Fang Ruoshui paused, thought for a moment, and gradually loosened his hand. The ghost was immediately sucked into the soul-binding bottle.
An Rugu capped the bottle and put it in her bag.
..............
The only two people left at the scene were An Rugu and Shang Yue, and Fang Shangshan and Fang Ruoshui.
The biggest enemy has been eliminated, and the air is filled with tension.
Shang Yue knew that this was a wanted criminal, so she stood in front of An Rugu and would fight back immediately if Fang Ruoshui made a move.
However, An Rugu and Fang Ruoshui looked at each other from a distance, and seemed to have no intention of taking action.
After a long time, An Rugu finally broke the silence: "Where is the talisman?"
When Fang Shangshan heard about the talisman, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes. Did her sister steal the master's talisman?
She then raised her hand and grabbed the corner of Fang Ruoshui's clothes, with a hint of disapproval in her eyes.
Fang Ruoshui glanced at her, lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then gave an address after a long time.
"Do you want to turn yourself in, or do you want me to arrest you?"
“… Three days later, I turned myself in.”
Before leaving, An Rugu seemed to have thought of something and looked back at Fang Shangshan who was in a daze: "If you and your friends don't want to go back to the underworld, you can come to my haunted house to find a job."
The haunted house is short of people right now, no, it’s short of ghosts.
Fang Shangshan: "???"
Fang Ruoshui: "..."
Poaching her right in front of her?
After An Rugu finished speaking, she left without caring about what other people thought.
There were no conflicts and everything went incredibly smoothly.
Shang Yue didn't react until An Rugu brought her back to Izumo Temple.
She heard that Fang Ruoshui was extremely vicious and cruel, so she thought there would be a fierce battle.
She couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "I was having a great time fighting, but I didn't expect that Fang Ruoshui didn't fight with you. It was really strange."
An Rugu called the Special Management Bureau, informed Lin Weiyu of the news about the town object, and then hung up the phone.
She heard Shang Yue's question and said in a clear tone: "Fang Shangshan's sister not only killed her husband, but also stole the town's treasure. Fang Shangshan couldn't bear to see her husband kill people, and she couldn't bear to see her sister break the law."
Shang Yue thought for a long time and finally understood. She was amazed and said, "How could this pair of sisters have such a good relationship?"
An Rugu thought of the close intimacy between the two and hummed, "Yes."
Because they are both practitioners, the secrets of heaven are obscured. She cannot see through Fang Ruoshui's fate, but she can see the fate of Fang Shangshan, who is not a practitioner.
The fates of twins are often different, but we can also speculate some of Fang Shangshan's fate.
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty. He is not a wicked person by nature, but he has gone astray.
Shang Yue seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "Will she surrender herself in three days?"
"Yes."
Sure enough, three days later, she received a strange phone call. Fang Ruoshui's voice came from the microphone: "Fang Shangshan doesn't want to go to the underworld, he wants to go to your place. Please take good care of him, thank you.
I'm at the gate of the Special Management Bureau now.
You saved my sister, and to repay you, I'll give you a message. When you feel curious, look up at the sky. If I tell you anything else, I'll die. "
An Rugu wrote down this sentence, but she didn't feel satisfied: "Can't you say a little more? Is your sisterhood worth just this one sentence?"
Fang Ruoshui: “…”
"Okay, let me give you one more thing. You don't have much time left."
An Rugu: “…”
"Why did you join Youdu?"
"Someone said they could help me find her."
She was a little confused. It was self-evident who this "she" was. It was no other than Fang Shangshan. No wonder she turned herself in. She seemed to be disloyal to Youdu.
Fang Ruoshui didn't continue talking and seemed ready to hang up the phone.
An Rugu seemed to have thought of something, and said thoughtfully: "By the way, you are not Fang Ruoshui."
There was no sound from the microphone for a long time, but the call was not hung up, as if the person on the other end was still listening.
After a long time, a gentle voice came: "...Why do you say that?"
"You learned the Lu Ban book, and you are obviously a cripple, but your legs are fine, and your sister is a cripple. Did you...swap your lives?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a strange laugh came from the other side.
The woman laughed, which was in stark contrast to her gloomy appearance.
"After all these years... you're the only one who noticed it!"
She laughed for a long time until her voice became hoarse, then she stopped and said in a gloomy tone, "You are so smart, do you know why?"
She had no feelings for anyone other than her sister, but she found An Rugu very interesting and she rarely felt like communicating with him.
An Rugu raised the corners of his mouth, a faint smile appeared on his face: "Let me guess... Could it be that you two have a very good relationship, and your sister is willing to bear the cost of disability for you?"
After a long time, a hoarse voice came from the microphone, like rubbing sandpaper: "...My parents have three children, one is my brother Fang Yuan, and the other two are me and her.
We are twins. Maybe because I absorbed more nutrients, she is weak and the doctor said she will not live past the age of 30.
When I was a child, I felt that we were the same as my brother, equally happy and equally loved.
But later, I found out that we are different. My brother is free. The Lu Ban Classics are passed down from generation to generation, not from generation to generation. He can choose to learn the Lu Ban Classics, or not, and even go into the entertainment industry.
And when I asked to learn Lu Ban Jing, they broke my legs.
My brother treated it like trash, but I couldn't even think about it.
So while I was in bed recovering from my injuries, I stole the Lu Ban Sutra.
She knew about this but didn't report it to me because I had both legs broken and had to endure one of the five disadvantages of studying Lu Ban's Classics.
She couldn't bear it, so she told me that she heard there was a way to exchange lives, so she asked me to give her the disadvantages that she was about to endure. Anyway, I couldn't live past 30, so I might as well take this for you.
I didn't want to, but she asked someone for a way to change the backlash of Luban Sutra. For twins, the method was too simple. She changed into my clothes and asked others to call her by my name. No one could recognize her, including our parents.
By the time I realized it, it was already done. Her legs were broken and she would be disabled for life, and there was no way they could be cured.
Later, my broken leg healed, but her leg was permanently disabled due to the backlash. I became Fang Ruoshui, and she became Fang Shangshan.
…She said she would reward you handsomely, and I will transfer the money to you later.”
After saying that, Fang Ruoshui hung up the phone.
Immediately afterwards, 6154271.63 was deposited into An Rugu’s bank card.
An Rugu: “…”
To the exact cent, this couldn't be all the money Fang Ruoshui had, right?
She turned and fell into deep thought.
The current Fang Ruoshui was formerly Fang Shangshan.
The current Fang Shangshan was formerly Fang Ruoshui.
The sisters turned their lives upside down and changed their fates. However, the method of changing fates was special, so it only changed the backlash of Lu Ban Jing, and did not change things like lifespan and luck.
Although Fang Ruoshui didn't say it, she could guess it. She was not disabled but sat in a wheelchair, which was obviously punishing herself.
This reminded her of Zhu Tingting and Liang Jing, a pair who used luck to harm others with malicious intent, and a pair who used life-saving to help others with kindness.
All sentient beings are in different states of being, nothing more than this.
In the afternoon, she held a ritual to save the souls of the dead. Despite Bai Wei's pleas for mercy, she sent Bai Wei and the two evil spirits he had killed to the underworld.
These two evil spirits died a violent death, and were controlled by Bai Wei to harm people. They can regain consciousness in the underground, and may be reborn into a good family in the future. However, Bai Wei committed many murderous crimes, and will be unable to live or die in hell.
.....................
In the afternoon, An Rugu received a commendation.
Lin Weiyu and her companion Su Lai came to the door in person with certificates, medals and bonuses.
Although Fang Ruoshui surrendered herself, investigation revealed that it was An Rugu who persuaded her to do so, so her five million bounty was also counted towards An Rugu.
Plus one million for the cost of retrieving the treasure, and the money for providing clues previously.
All in all, the total is more than six million.
Lin Weiyu scratched her head and felt that the money was not much: "In fact, when I take orders outside, those rich people will easily pay tens of millions."
She was born into a Feng Shui family, and her family often took orders from wealthy people, so she knew the market very well.
An Rugu could understand it very well. After all, it was money given by the government. The amount of money was not important. The honor was the most important.
This was Lin Weiyu and Su Lai’s second visit to Izumo Temple. Compared to the first time when they were confused, this time they were already very skilled.
And the way he looked at An Rugu was completely different.
Wow, the great god is actually beside them!
Lin Weiyu looked at An Rugu like a little fangirl, holding her face up and saying, "Ms. An, I always thought you were a fortune teller, but I didn't expect you were also good at fighting. How did you catch Fang Ruoshui?"
"Didn't she tell you?"
"She is so arrogant and doesn't say much. As for the reason why she stole the talisman, she didn't say a word. Because Youdu cast a silencing spell on them. If they say anything, they will either die or be injured."
Lin Weiyu was not surprised at all. They had arrested people from Youdu before, and no matter how they did it, they could only find out a limited number of secrets. It made sense when you think about it. After all, Youdu was such a large organization, so there must be some means to prevent the leakage of secrets.
An Rugu then told him what happened that day.
Lin Weiyu frowned: "I didn't expect that Bai Wei was actually a murderer. No, I have to inform others and investigate his affairs thoroughly... Speaking of which, why didn't Fang Ruoshui ask the police for help?"
An Rugu sighed slightly: "Her family called the police, but Bai Wei had too many tricks and escaped."
Lin Weiyu and Su Lai both felt a little uncomfortable. It turned out that there was such a hidden story behind Fang Ruoshui's affairs. The person who looked gentle and elegant, saving the dying and the wounded, was actually an executioner, and she had to fight violence with violence at the beginning.
Lin Weiyu shook her head and threw away the distracting thoughts: "No matter what, it is wrong for her to steal the talisman and endanger social security."
An Rugu nodded: "That's right."
An Rugu chatted with her for a while, then took out a ticket from his pocket: "By the way, this is a ticket to the Tangchi Village Haunted House. Do you want to go and have fun?"
Lin Weiyu opened it and saw that the ticket said: "Real haunted house, no charge if it's not real!"
For some reason, she shuddered all over, looked up at An Rugu's expression, and said in surprise: "It can't be what I imagined?"
"It's just as you imagined."
Lin Weiyu and Su Lai: “???”
"Using real ghosts to open a haunted house?"
"Awesome! There are more roads than ever imagined."
An Rugu explained: "They are not bad people and will not hurt anyone, so I let them run the haunted house. Someone will help me watch over it, so nothing will happen. If you are worried, you can go and take a look."
In fact, her intention was not only an invitation, but also a desire to give the haunted house a clear path.
What if some mysterious people passed by one day and took away all the ghosts in her haunted house?
Lin Weiyu: “…”
Miss An looks like she is out of touch with the world...but she is surprisingly high-profile!
First there was a live broadcast, then there was a haunted house.
When I was broadcasting live, I often had to deal with the police.
Many people are curious about her, but she is now a friendly partner of the Special Management Bureau, and many things are blocked by the Special Management Bureau, so An Rugu can be so free and easy.
Lin Weiyu and Su Lai sighed, the master is really unique!
..............
Fang Shangshan was relieved when he saw his sister surrender, so he left the Special Management Bureau and came to Izumo Mountain: "Master, I want to work in your haunted house."
Her sister was worried that she would be easily killed as a wandering ghost in the human world, so she wanted to send her to the underworld. But she was born with a short life, and she had been locked up for many years, so she had not seen enough of the world.
After some discussion, the younger sister compromised. She accepted An Rugu's olive branch and came to Izumo Mountain.
An Rugu then sent her and several other wandering ghosts from Jiangshui Village who were willing to come to the haunted house, and asked them to communicate with the manager inside the haunted house and find a suitable job.
A few days later, the haunted house opened grandly, but the location was too remote and most of the people in Tangchi Village were the elderly, the weak, women and children, and few people took the initiative to ask to be scared.
In this regard, Su Weizhi, the manager of the haunted house, was very frustrated and kept thinking of ways to lure people out.
An Rugu thought about it and felt that she could recommend it online. Today happened to be the time for live broadcast, so she started the live broadcast.
In just three minutes, tens of thousands of people flocked into the live broadcast room, and people both interested and uninterested in the show kept giving rewards, and the popularity instantly soared to five million.
The live broadcast room was immediately pushed to the homepage, and its popularity was higher than some game events and live broadcasts by big anchors.
【Warmly celebrate the return of the missing persons! 】
[I waited ten days for you. Even the donkeys in the production team didn't dare to rest like this! ]
[Let's be frank. I'm going to go ghost hunting with the anchor. 】
[Plus one, the one I caught is the ghost of a certain celebrity named Zhu. Fans should not take it personally, there are many people with the surname Zhu in the entertainment industry. ]
[Alas, saving the world is so tiring. 】
An Rugu: “…”
She took a sip of tea and ignored the comments that teased her. "As usual, today we'll only calculate three hexagrams. When we're done, we'll start the lucky draw."
.................
Upper Town
Zheng Yirui, a member of the popular boy band, returned home and wiped the sweat off his head. He had just finished training and was hot and out of breath.
Suddenly, I received a strange text message on my phone.
【I'm home now. Take some rest. Good night.】
Zheng Yiru clicked it and his eyes widened. He felt a chill crawling up from the soles of his feet and felt creepy.
How did the stranger know that he had just arrived home?
Could it be a stalker fan near his home?
Zheng Yirui quickly dialed the property management number. There were many celebrities living in this community, so the property management had a lot of people and the service was relatively good. The call was answered very quickly.
Zheng Yirui was both scared and angry: "Have you seen any strange people around my house?"
The property staff quickly apologized: "Sorry, we didn't know about this. We will investigate it immediately."
"Hurry up, I pay so much property fees every year."
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Zheng Yirui put away his phone and sat on the gaming chair. Thinking of this strange text message, he felt speechless, so he took a screenshot and sent it to his boy band group.
[Zheng Yirui: Are illegitimate fans so rampant now? Are they squatting near my house?]
[Zhang Kaiqi: So exaggerated? Don't you live in a luxury residential area?]
[Zheng Yirui: It's a luxurious residential complex with good security. I don't know who broke into it. I'm speechless. I really want to catch who it is. It scares me.]
Everyone started chatting, and at this time, a member of the boy band seemed to have thought of something and replied: [By the way, I'm watching a live broadcast, it's a fortune-telling live broadcast, it's very magical, I don't know if this kind of fortune-telling can be done, why don't you find this anchor to see. ]
【--Link.】
【Zhang Kaiqi: Oh, I know this anchor. She predicted Fang Yuan would go to jail ten days in advance. It is said that it was related to Zhu Tingting's retirement from the entertainment circle. I heard that she is a very powerful master, and her reputation has spread throughout the circle. Why don't you ask her to calculate it! 】
Zheng Yiru thought about it, opened the link casually, and was immediately stunned by An Rugu's face.
Her black hair was fluffy and smooth, her skin was as white as porcelain, and there was light in her eyes.
Damn, she's even prettier than all the stars he's ever seen. Is fortune telling really that difficult these days?
There is a lottery box next to the live broadcast room.
Who can resist a prize draw button?
His hands reacted faster than his brain. He immediately followed the host and clicked to participate in the lottery.
But when he caught a glimpse of the live broadcast room, he found that it had more than 6 million viewers, and he suddenly felt uneasy.
His luck has always been average, so he will definitely not win!
