Chapter 4: Catching ghosts, getting rich
"The Master is here."
Mu Jianguo brought Jiang Chu to a courtyard, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a lady with heavy makeup:
"Have you invited Master Hu? Xiaoyu has gone crazy now, smashing things everywhere and even injuring a nanny."
This is Mu Jianguo’s wife, Li Xuemei.
Mu Jianguo patted her back soothingly: "Master Hu's whereabouts are uncertain and I can't invite him, but I met another Master Jiang."
Li Xuemei was very worried when she heard that Master Hu was not invited, but she felt relieved when she found out that another one had been invited.
"Thank you, Master Jiang, for coming to help my Xiaoyu..." Li Xuemei looked up and saw an extremely beautiful girl. She was a little skeptical, "Master Jiang?"
Jiang Chu nodded coldly: "Yeah."
Li Xuemei frowned: "Aren't you the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fu family? Why haven't I heard that you are a Taoist priest?"
"The eldest daughter-in-law of the Fu family?" Although Mu Jianguo didn't like to listen to gossip, he was also present on the day of the Fu family's wedding.
Jiang Chu hadn't expected Li Xuemei to recognize her, but it wasn't a big deal. She could take this opportunity to develop some clients. "Just because I haven't heard of it doesn't mean I can't do it. Hasn't Comrade Mu already witnessed my strength?"
Mu Jianguo thought about how Jiang Chu had figured out his predicament at first sight, and began to persuade Li Xuemei: "Anyway, there's no other way now. Let her try. Things won't get any worse."
Although Li Xuemei didn't believe Jiang Chu could catch ghosts, she agreed to give it a try. "Then go and try. If you can really solve it, our Mu family will not treat you unfairly."
Now they have no other choice, it can't get any worse than it is now.
Jiang Chu took out two black stones from thin air and gave them to the Mu family couple: "Take these two stones and follow me. Remember, no matter what happens, don't throw the stones away."
The couple was stunned by this trick of creating something out of nothing, and they quickly took the black stone.
The moment I started using it, the restlessness and depression that had been lingering in my heart for days was swept away, and my body felt lighter.
Mu Jianguo and Li Xuemei looked at each other.
I didn't expect she was so capable.
Compared with Jiang Chu, the ones they hired before could only perform shaman dances.
Having personally experienced the effect of this stone, Li Xuemei also somewhat believed that Jiang Chu was a Taoist priest.
There was another sound of shattering porcelain upstairs, and a nanny came running in: "Young lady has hurt Aunt Wang again!"
Jiang Chu ran upstairs, followed by the Mu couple.
This was the scene Jiang Chu saw when he arrived.
Mu Yuqing, the youngest daughter of the Mu family, was now in a frenzied state, her eyes red as she desperately smashed the decorations in the living room. A hoarse, gloomy male voice began to utter, "You all deserve to die!"
Mu Yuqing was possessed by an evil spirit.
Jiang Chu took a step forward and ran in front of "her". With a palm of spiritual power, he knocked a black figure out of Mu Yuqing's body.
Mu Yuqing fell forward and Jiang Chu caught her steadily.
The couple who arrived late saw Mu Yuqing fainted in Jiang Chu's arms, and there was a green-faced and fanged ghost behind them.
From their perspective, it seemed that the evil spirit had captured the two of them.
Li Xuemei fainted due to the shock.
Mu Jianguo yelled, "Master Jiang, be careful behind you!"
The evil ghost heard the voice, looked up and met Mu Jianguo's gaze.
Mu Jianguo felt a chill down his spine. A grimace of death suddenly appeared before him. He trembled with fear and begged Jiang Chu for help: "Master Jiang, he's coming towards me!"
Jiang Chu was very calm: "You have a peace amulet, he can't get close to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Jianguo felt a burning sensation on his chest - that was where the stone was placed.
The evil ghost seemed to be burned by something before it even touched him, and quickly shrank back.
Jiang Chu had already settled Mu Yuqing by this time. He drew a talisman in the air with his spiritual power, and a beam of white light shot into the body of the evil ghost, which was instantly reduced to ashes.
Mu Jianguo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the evil ghost had been eliminated. He carried the unconscious Li Xuemei to lie on the sofa with Mu Yuqing.
He bowed solemnly to Jiang Chu and took out four fifty-yuan bills and gave them to her: "Thanks to Master Jiang for eliminating the evil spirits today, this small token of respect is not enough."
Jiang Chu didn't refuse and took it and put it in his bag.
Taking money from others to help them eliminate disasters is also the completion of this cause and effect.
Jiang Chu thought about the purchasing power of two hundred yuan in the 1980s. It was definitely enough to buy cinnabar and yellow paper, and there would still be money left for other things.
Jiang Chu: "Did your daughter go to any special place two days ago?"
Fortune telling can only give a rough estimate. What she told Mu Jianguo in such detail was based on the behavior of the person possessed by the evil spirit.
Mu Jianguo thought about it for a moment: "Xiaoyu and her fiancé went to the countryside, and she became like this after she came back. Is there something wrong?"
Jiang Chu said seriously: "This evil ghost is not the real one, but just a clone."
Mu Jianguo's face turned pale in an instant: "Master Jiang, you must help us get rid of this evil spirit."
"Of course." Jiang Chu nodded. "Tell me the address your daughter went to. The evil spirit's real body should be there."
Mu Jianguo hurriedly wrote down the address for her.
Jiang Chu frowned when he saw the words "Xinghua Village" on it.
Mu Jianguo, who had been paying attention to her reaction, spoke cautiously: "Is there something wrong with this place?"
"It's just a guess." Jiang Chu said, "What kind of person is your future son-in-law?"
Mu Jianguo: "You mean he is related to this matter?"
Jiang Chu: "It's just a guess, because those days are not holidays. Instead, they are the time when the Yin energy is the heaviest and most suitable for possessing a body."
"It's even more problematic for him to bring your daughter home at this time."
"And I think your daughter is born with a deficiency. Not only will she be in poor health from a young age, but she will also be more likely to attract dirty things."
"I knew that boy wouldn't be content." Mu Jianguo snorted coldly. "Her mother and I were strongly opposed to this marriage, but Xiaoyu insisted on getting married and even threatened us with a hunger strike. We thought that with me and her two brothers around, that boy wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. I didn't expect him to resort to such a sinister method."
Jiang Chu: "Do you have his birth date?"
"Yes, they even compared their horoscopes at that time." Mu Jianguo went into the bedroom and came out after a while with a sheet of horoscopes written on it.
Jiang Chu took a quick glance and frowned: "This horoscope is fake. This person is definitely related to your daughter being possessed by a ghost."
Mu Jianguo was so angry that he slammed the table: "How dare he!"
This slap woke up the two unconscious people.
Mu Yuqing's mind was still groggy, and she hadn't reacted to the familiar decorations yet: "Aren't I at his house with He Yaozu? When did you come back?"
Jiang Chu touched her forehead with his fingertips, and Mu Yuqing's mind instantly became clear.
Mu Jianguo told her in a few words what had happened in the past few days.
Mu Yuqing's face darkened, her stomach churning. "You mean I'm chewing raw meat in the middle of the night?"
After Mu Yuqing vomited everything in her stomach, Jiang Chu spoke: "Do you remember anything particularly strange that happened that day?"
"It's a rather strange thing..." Mu Yuqing thought carefully, "That night, Mother He treated me to a piece of beef. At that time, I was thinking that this future mother-in-law only looked fierce, but she was actually quite nice to me."
After all, beef is really precious in this era.
As she spoke, her voice became softer and softer. She really didn't expect that she almost lost her life.
