The Dream Master

"Are there no heavy objects to drag under the water?" Shen Luo groaned a little and asked.

"There are no heavy objects to drag, no water and grass, nothing. It is also because it is a bit unusual, and the city is not peaceful recently, so there are all kinds of rumors, and now the plumbing pavilion is fast. Being treated as a haunted house, business has plummeted." Bai Xiaotian shook his head.

Since the beginning, the Bai family did not pay much attention to this. After all, the Qinhuai River is a place of right and wrong. Every year, those who fall into the water, those who fall into the river drunk, those who throw water in frustration, those who complain about their spouse and die in love, must be there. One to twenty people.

Even if the matter is at home, I often spend some money on the government, and then send a guest priest to do the ritual. Regardless of whether there is evil or not, as long as you act like a guest and the people, this matter is not difficult to suppress. Come down.

But like dumplings like this, one by one drowned, and it was really overwhelming. Now it is said that ghosts and charms are hidden in the plumbing pavilion. The three people died wrongly and their bodies were killed by resentment. Solid, will float and not go.

"I'm planning to go out too, so I'll take a look with you." Shen Luo said.

"That's right." Bai Xiaotian's eyes were slightly bright, and there was finally a smile on his face.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the room, they heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then they saw the girl in Greensleeve, running in violently, shouting repeatedly.

"No... it's not good, young master, it's not good..."

When Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian heard the words, they looked at each other, and a trace of haze flashed across their faces.

"What's going on, speak slowly." Bai Xiaotian asked in a deep voice.

"The tall shopkeeper in the satin shop in the west of the city went to the plumbing pavilion to find a good girl, Shui Kite, but she was found floating in the river in the morning, just like the three previous places." Lvxiu's face was slight. Bai, panting.

Bai Xiaotian sighed secretly, walked towards the front yard gate without saying a word, Shen Luo touched his nose, and followed.

"Young Master, the car is ready, waiting outside the door..." Lu Xiu hurriedly chased out a few steps and shouted on tiptoe.

...

The carriage speed is limited in the city, and it took a quarter of an hour to arrive in front of the plumbing pavilion.

Shen Luo got down from the carriage and looked up, standing in front of him was a three-to-four-foot-high vermilion gate tower with carved beams and painted towers, depicting the rich and honorable scenes such as the birds and the phoenix and the flowers competing for spring.

Going in from the doorway, but a few steps away, is a magnificent three-story pavilion. Between each loft is glazed tile to make a ridged cornice, and underneath are vermilion lanterns with bright colors.

Inside the attic, there is a golden hall, with a huge 12-folded screen in the center. A stage is built with white jade fences. There is a wooden ladder on the left and right to the second floor.

The bustling plumbing pavilion is like a cloud of visitors on weekdays, but today is deserted, and there are not even a few people in sight. Only one middle-aged woman in purple brocade is whispering a few handymen, making them Don't talk too much, talk to outsiders about the plumbing pavilion.

Seeing the two of Bai Xiaotian coming in, the woman immediately reduced her sorrow, greeted them, and owed them.

Shen Luo looked at it for a moment, and saw that his appearance was good, his figure was exquisite, but the fine lines at the corners of his eyes could not be hidden by fat-reducing powder, and when he looked at Qi's manners and manners, he knew that he should be the mother here.

"Lord, you can be regarded as coming." The middle-aged woman found the backbone, and while speaking, she pulled off the handkerchief around her waist and wiped her eyes.

"Feng Ma, where is the body?" Bai Xiaotian asked directly.

"On the waterfront in the backyard, I didn't let it be carried into the house. The government officials have checked and left. At the moment, the Baishui Road Chief is over there." Feng Ma didn't dare to say much, and said briefly.

Bai Xiaotian didn't say a word, and walked behind the screen.

Shen Luobian followed the screen and walked out through a ticket gate behind.

The plumbing pavilion was built next to the Qinhuai River, and the backyard was a small pillow-water pier. In the past, there were also flower boats moored on the river for the benefactor to bring Qingguan female family members.

And right now, by the river, there is only the body of a fat man in outer clothing, lying quietly in the shadow of the attic, and standing next to him is a man with raised cheekbones, slightly sunken cheeks, and a shaved white robe. Thin old man.

On the river not far from here, across a three-hole stone arch bridge, under the guardrail in the middle of the bridge, the three characters "Zhenhuai Bridge" are engraved.

Standing on the side of the bridge head is a river town water beast resembling a unihorn rhinoceros, with a stone seat embedded under it. The whole is only one person tall. After years of baptism, it is covered with moss and mottled marks everywhere.

Surrounding the water beasts, and even on the entire bridge, many people in the city stood, each with curious and fearful, disgusting and inexplicable excitement expressions on their faces, pointing and whispering to this side.

Shen Luo looked at the man's body, and saw that his whole body had already been soaked and swollen abnormally, and the exposed skin showed a blue-white color. Although his death looks quite calm, he always felt that his body was full of evil.

"I have seen a real person." Bai Xiaotian stepped closer and bowed respectfully to the thin old man.

Shen Luo also clasped his fists.

"Grandpa, you are here." The old Dao's brows were wrinkled, and he paid a bow to the two.

"How is the situation now?" Bai Xiaotian asked.

"Like the previous few people, Hao Zuo said they were all drowned after seeing it, and Pan Dao couldn't find out what was wrong." Bai Shuidao sighed and said.

"A real person knows when he died?" Bai Xiaotian asked.

"It was probably the ugly time last night... I'm ashamed to say that Pang Dao has been stationed in the pavilion, but he didn't notice it at all. It was the handyman who found his body first in the morning." Dao Chang Bai Shui said.

"Does Shui Yuan know when he left?" Bai Xiaotian turned to Feng Ma again and asked.

"Oh, she was so scared that she only said that she slept very badly last night, and she didn't know when she left. Right now, she doesn't even dare to wait for the plumbing pavilion, and she went to rest somewhere else." Feng Ma sighed. Said.

After hearing this, Bai Xiaotian was silent for a moment, took out a piece of yellow paper talisman from his sleeve, walked to the corpse, and leaned over to place it on the center of his brow.

Hearing only a soft sound of "puff", a ray of flame lit up on the talisman paper, which leaped abruptly, and then slowly burned.

"Yin Sha Yin Qi Talisman!" Bai Shui Taoist's eyes lit up.

After hearing the words, Shen Luo focused his eyes on the talisman paper.

He had also heard of this kind of talisman. When it burned, the hidden evil spirits could be drawn out with a talisman fire.

If this tall shopkeeper was really harmed by evil evil ghosts, most of the evil spirits in the body would remain, and the flames of the talisman flashed in the Yintang, and the evil spirits should be flowing out of the seven orifices.
