Huang Quan's companion

Chapter 42

Seventh Madam shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Yes...it's Master!"

"What?!"

Seventh Madam burst into tears and told what happened after they left.

He Tang and the others failed to save Mrs. Seven and were arrested instead. The Taoist priests of Qinglian Temple took He Tang away, and Mrs. Seven who stayed in the Zhu Mansion was locked up again by the Da Furen.

At first, Mrs. Seven wanted to wait for an opportunity to escape, but failed repeatedly.She faintly heard the servants talking about the quarrel between the wives and Mr. Zhu, and the sixth lady seemed to be grounded, but the servants said little and their voices were low, so she could only hear bits and pieces of news.

Later, the Zhu family invited several masters, released her, and specially changed her into gorgeous new clothes, for some reason.The servants were silent, changed her clothes and took her to the ancestral hall.As soon as she entered the ancestral hall, the seventh lady felt uncomfortable all over, as if she was bound by some invisible rope, making it difficult to move an inch.

Those masters walked out of the ancestral hall, covered in dark robes, chanting some formulas around her.

The Seventh Madam had never seen such a strange person, she hurriedly yelled for help, but the people outside did not come in to save her, the door of the ancestral hall was tightly locked, and the masters cast spells, and the Seventh Madam noticed the ancestral hall The inside was actually lined up!She felt uncomfortable all over, with a headache, chest tightness, and no strength. She called out to Master Zhu and asked her husband for help.

After about half an hour, Master Zhu finally showed up. He opened the door of the ancestral hall, stood at the door and said to Seventh Madam, "Hongshao, the Zhu family treats you well, why do you join forces with evil spirits to fight against the Zhu family?"

How familiar are these words, isn't it what Madam Six accused her at the beginning?Seventh Madam was stunned on the spot: "Master, what are you talking about?"

Master Zhu was furious, pointed at her and said: "Hongshao, I speak for you, but you let that little devil take Zishan away, what is your intention?"

The Seventh Madam didn't expect him to bite back, and smiled immediately: "If I keep Zishan, wouldn't I be harming him? The eldest lady wants Zishan's life, and I, as a mother, can only take a chance. Although He Tang is A ghost, but also the son of the Sixth Madam, how can it be compared with those fierce ghosts?"

"Hetang is not my Zhu family! He has hated my Zhu family for a long time, how could he let Zishan go so easily?" Master Zhu paused at this point, and said sadly, "You don't know...you don't know Zishan and others ..."

Seventh Madam's eyes widened and she panicked, "Master, what's wrong with Zishan?"

"We entrusted these masters to find Zishan back, but...but they said that Zishan's body was in the mass grave, and had been...by wild dogs..." Master Zhu couldn't bear it, trembling Leaning against the wall, he persuaded in a deep voice, "Hongshao, you...you listen to these masters and get rid of the evil spirits on your body, huh?"

Mrs. Seven hadn't recovered from the news of her son's death. When she heard this again, she was shocked: "Evil spirit? What kind of evil spirit is in me? Master, what are you talking about?"

Master Zhu glanced at her, a little guilty, and said: "Liu Niang and Madam both said that you are not clean, I...you let these masters see..."

"They said I was unclean?" Madam Seven laughed loudly, "They actually said I was unclean? Are they clean? I don't have any evil spirits on me! They are the ones who have evil spirits! Are they not afraid of retribution for being so vicious to our mother and child? !"

Seeing that she looked crazy, Mr. Zhu shook his head, shook his sleeves and said, "You can do it for yourself" and opened the door, leaving her in the ancestral hall to face those mysterious masters.

"Master!" The Seventh Madam chased after her and wanted to go out, but a master raised her hand and grabbed her back.

The seventh lady was thrown into the center of the ancestral hall. The surrounding ancestral tablets exuded a gloomy atmosphere under the candlelight. She shrank in the center in fear and asked sharply, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

The masters surrounded her and stretched out her sleeves. She felt that there was darkness above her head, and she couldn't see anything.The surroundings were getting colder and colder, and she felt the coldness in her limbs and bones. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't move at all.She didn't know when she passed out, and when she woke up, she was already lying on her bed.

The maid who served her helped her wash and wash, and talked about the Zhu family's funeral arrangements for Zishan.The Zhu family felt that Zishan died young and was not suitable to enter the ancestral grave, and since there was no body left, they should find a place to set up a tomb for Zishan.The eldest lady thought it was bad luck, so she handed over this matter to the sixth lady. The sixth lady has always been at odds with the seventh lady, so she didn't take this matter very seriously.

The Seventh Madam was exhausted, and wanted to argue with the Sixth Madam, but instead, the Sixth Madam grounded her feet, saying that she had just got rid of the evil spirits on her body and needed to recuperate, so it was better not to wander around.

The pain of the loss of the seventh lady's son was too great, but she couldn't even leave the house, and her grief became more and more unbearable.Seeing her getting haggard, the servant girl couldn't help persuading her to let go of the past and stop worrying her.

She finds it funny: "Worried? Who will worry about me?"

She has been in the mansion for many years, with a gentle temperament and no quarrel with the world. The only son she loves is also dead now, but the Zhu family is slandering each other and slandering their mother and son... Hongtiao only feels that the hostility is getting stronger, and she stays in the house every day, wishing to see her. Those people strangled for revenge.She had never thought of this before, but those few days were strange, she often had nightmares, and occasionally she was allowed to go out for a walk, and when she saw the people of the Zhu family, she couldn't help but imagine the scene of cutting their hands under the knife .

Seventh Madam said this, covered her face and sobbed in a low voice: "I seemed to be possessed by a demon at that time, and I couldn't control my thoughts..."

He Tang and Yang Jinshu looked at each other, and asked quietly: "Is...is it true...that you have messed with something unclean?"

Yang Jinshu nodded, with a worried face on his face: "Madam Seven is fine, I'm afraid that those unknown masters have done something to her, and she has been confirmed to be accused of evil."

"What happened later?" He Tang asked.

"Then...then I don't know what happened...I ran into Mrs. Six, and I used my anger in my chest to rush towards her, scratching her face with my hands, and...almost biting her neck off... "The seventh lady's eyes were blank, "I don't know what happened at all... When I came back to my senses, I was kneeling on the ground under the pressure of the servants, and the sixth lady... she kept screaming while covering her neck and face, attracting Master and several other ladies..."

"My God... the stinky bitch is actually disfigured... how could she let you go?" He Tang knew very well that the Sixth Madam had a personality of vengeance, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the seventh lady said: "I was imprisoned in the ancestral hall again. They said that I have been possessed by evil spirits, and they want...to clean me up..."

He Tang's scalp tightened: "Clean up? That's not a good word."

"The Zhu family handed me over to the Sixth Madam..." The Seventh Madam smiled deeply, "I don't know, but she hated me so much, she whipped and insulted me in the name of getting rid of evil spirits, and even wore finger gloves to kill me." My face was scratched... I begged her, but she was laughing, and threw me a three-foot white silk in front of the ancestors of the Zhu family, and asked me to hang myself... Hahaha, but she was afraid that I would become the second wolf... Tang, if I want to go back to seek revenge on her, I ordered someone to hang me up again, to hang me alive..."

He Tang felt chills all over his body, and his teeth began to chatter: "This stinky bitch...she is... so vicious!"

Yang Jinshu put his arms around his shoulders and calmed him down: "He Tang, don't think too much."

But He Tang's eyes lit up, and he said sharply: "She didn't dare before! She used to only dare to beat and scold and speak harshly, never to kill anyone. She was scared like that by me last time, how dare she torture people to death casually? She must have something to rely on, she is not afraid of ghosts taking her life!"

Yang Jinshu was taken aback, he didn't expect He Tang to react so quickly and think so deeply.

"Amitabha...the female benefactor has a long life, pitiful..." The monks clasped their hands together and chanted sutras for the seventh lady in a low voice.

Yang Jinshu hurriedly asked: "Then... what happened later? Why did you come to Futu Town to ask the masters to save your son?"

"After I died, I wanted to take revenge, but for some reason, I couldn't get close to Mrs. Liu's body. Even Zhu's house was like a cage, so I couldn't breathe. I could only leave temporarily. I found the mass grave all the way, I wanted to find Zishan's soul, but there was nothing there, only some wandering ghosts. They wanted to eat me, but for some reason, they were frightened by me and ran away. A wild ghost told me that he once saw I have been to Zishan... and left with an old couple..."

"It's Ruyi and the others..." Yang Jinshu said, "Zishan is still being taken care of by that couple, because we... are inconvenient."

Seventh Madam nodded and continued: "I have been looking for it all the way, and I have seen that there are few ghosts in Futu Town, and I heard that the eminent monks here are highly skilled and can save people...so I want to ask them to save Zishan..."

"Do you think Xiao Wu was brought here?" He Tang asked.

"I thought they accepted Zishan and wanted to send Zishan..." Madam Seven hurriedly apologized to the monks, "Eminent monks, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you all..."

A monk was quite angry: "You female ghost, you come to the temple to make trouble all day long, I thought you had a grudge with our temple..."

Seventh Madam was very guilty and kowtowed to apologize.

Fortunately, the eminent monks are kind-hearted, although they are tired of seeing her, they never accept her.

He Tang felt something was wrong, and frowned, "Then why did you scare the watchman to death?"

"Watchman?" Seventh Madam looked at him blankly, "He Tang, what are you talking about?"

She looked innocent and nervous, stared at He Tang closely, and asked, "I... did I do something again?"

He Tang faintly felt strange: "A few hours ago...you scared the watchman in Futu Town to death, don't you remember?"

"I didn't!" Madame Seven said loudly, "How could I harm someone?!"

Yang Jinshu tugged Hetang's sleeve lightly, motioning him to stop talking, and said with a smile, "Maybe we got it wrong."

Afraid of Mrs. Seven's questioning, he quickly looked across and asked, "Dare to ask, masters, why did you ring the bell in the middle of the night? Who did you catch?"

The first monk heaved a long sigh and didn't intend to hide it any longer. He simply said: "To be honest, my lord, this Futu town is really not peaceful. Several families have died in the town, and they were all murdered by ghosts. The people from the Buddhist temple have been guarding the residents of the town for many years, and this is the first time we have encountered this, and it is really tricky."

"There is a monk in my monastery. He came to our monastery to become a monk because his whole family was killed by evil spirits in his early years. He hated evil spirits very much. Recently, he has been arguing to go out to catch ghosts every day. We are afraid that something will happen to him. Once we find him, he will sneak out. , so he rang the bell to remind his disciples to bring him back. However, this female benefactor always came to disturb her... The disciples were so annoyed that they were naturally a little angry."

"So that's how it is..." Yang Jinshu nodded and said, "But I have traveled all the way and found that every household in the town worships the Buddha. Ghosts are rarely seen in Futu Town. How can there be evil ghosts?"

"This is exactly what we don't understand..."

Before the eminent monk finished speaking, He Tang yelled, "Madam Seven! What's wrong with you?!"

Yang Jinshu turned his head and saw that the Seventh Madam had lost all of her beauty, with the wound on her face reappearing, her whole body exuding a sinister aura, her eyes were dark, staring at them closely, with a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

In this way, it is quite similar to the female ghost seen in the watchman's eyes.
