Chapter 228
Everyone tried to persuade them, saying that they should be cautious and not hasty. Many people looked at Feng Sanqiang with resentment. The great and peaceful days were set off by his arrival. They even killed so many people.
, the guilt was also laid on him, and the eyes he looked at were full of anger.
Feng Sanqiang was also shocked. He looked at Ling Xuzi and said, "Are you really willing to give up the position of abbot to me?"
"Yes, I believe that this is the only way to resolve your master's anger."
"That's not necessarily true. It's because my master's resentment is too deep and heavy. I can feel it myself."
Ling Xuzi smiled miserably and said: "Besides this, what else can I do? Okay, I have made up my mind, don't try to persuade me anymore, this is my decision. After I die, my body will be treated like the wild man in the past.
Like Mr. He, he set up firewood and burned me next to the big tree. His ashes were also buried in the back mountain. Let me keep him company. We have been brothers for seventy or eighty years. Although we have been together for the first time,
They met but did not recognize each other, and instead turned against each other. I will go to hell to confess to him the guilt I feel towards him."
When everyone heard what he said, they thought it was wrong and hurriedly tried to dissuade him. Unexpectedly, Taoist Master Lingxu suddenly felt violent and blood spurted out from the corner of his mouth. Then he tilted his head and died.
Qian Jinzhi sighed and whispered to Qiu Wuhen: "He has severed his meridians on his own. I guess it has been severed, but I can't save it. There is no way. I hope his death can resolve the blood curse of Taoist Yehe."
Qiu Wuhen shook his head: "I'm not very optimistic about it."
"Are you saying that this blood curse cannot be resolved?"
"I don't understand, and I don't know how to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, but I always feel that this is not the case. But I don't know what is going on."
The main hall was already in chaos, and many Taoists were wailing around Ling Xuzi's body.
Qiu Wuhen also felt a little sad in his heart. Although he did not have a close relationship with Ling Xuzi and only knew him for a few days. But the tragic ending of the silver-haired and kind old man made him sigh and felt very unhappy.
Feel good.
According to Ling Xuzi's last words, although many people in the temple don't like Feng Sanqiang, the abbot's last words must still be abided by. What's more, almost everyone is worried that the blood curse will be tested on their heads. For this blood curse,
The disciples of the maker are still somewhat afraid, disgusted and full of awe at the same time. If he is the abbot of the Taoist temple, he can resolve this grudge, no more blood curses will occur, and no one will die anymore, maybe it will be a good ending.
So no matter what they thought now, the whole temple finally accepted this fact. They all thanked Feng Sanqiang here. Feng Sanqiang was not polite and inherited the throne of the abbot in front of Ling Xuzi's soul. Then he led everyone to pray for the scriptures.
Ling Xuzi, who did something extraordinary, also issued an obituary notice.
According to the rules, condolences were offered first, and cremation lasted for three days. His body was parked in the Main Hall, an obituary was issued, and the county government also sent people to express condolences.
Qiu Wuhen was nervously paying attention to whether there were any more cases of hematemesis in Taoist temples and market towns. Strangely enough, after Taoist Master Lingxu died of severing his meridians, three days had passed and there was not another case of hematemesis.
The gloom that enveloped the Taoist temple and the people in the market town is gradually dissipating, and it seems that the blood curse has been lifted. Feng Sanqiang presided over the funeral, and Qiu Wuhen basically did not participate. He just paid attention to what happened in the Taoist temple and the market town, making sure that there was no
What happened made me feel relieved.
When he returned to his residence, Tang Yan, Chun Can and the others immediately gathered around and chatted endlessly. Chun Can said: "Sir, we have heard that there is a blood curse in this market town. Many people have vomited blood and died. What's going on?
?”
Qiu Wuhen said: "What blood curse? Don't believe these rumors easily."
Tang Yan clapped her hands proudly and said, "How's it going? I told you this was not a blood curse. If you don't listen, you should believe it now."
Fei Wutong said: "Even what Mr. said may not be right. Take this time, why is it not a blood curse? Taoist Yehe cursed the entire Chaotrans Town and Chaotuan Temple to pay for their debts with blood, and at the same time, he also made the temple
Isn’t this what it means to be drowned in a sea of blood along with the people in the town? Now I feel like the blood I spit out can form a small river."
Chun Can said: "I think it is indeed a curse. He said he would pay with blood, and his descendants would all pay with their lives. Have you noticed that all the people who died were men? If the men die, the incense will naturally not be passed on.
If you go down, this is the terrifying part of his curse, and women basically don’t have it.”
Qiu Wuhen was stunned for a moment, nodded slowly, and said to Chun Canqiang: "That's true. I really didn't realize this before, but you can see clearly that all the people who vomited blood and died this time were men. Except for Zhang Da
Except for Lang’s wife, who is a woman, the others are all men. Does he really want to make everyone devoid of children and grandchildren?”
Linghu Zhi said: "I also think this thing is too strange. The ones who died and those who vomited blood are all men. This can only be described as a blood curse. So we'd better leave here and don't be affected by this blood curse."
Well, if the city gate catches fire and affects the fish in the pond, we will be unlucky."
Linghu Ding waved his hand and said, "It's not that serious. Why are you scaring yourself? Mr. Qiu is an official here. He's not afraid of you. What are you afraid of?"
Fei Wutong said: "But those who died are all men. If there is any misfortune, it will be the misfortune of us men first. The three women are all fine."
Linghu Zhi said: "Why are you okay? My father is going to have an accident. Am I okay?"
He looked at Qiu Wuhen and said, "Mr. Qiu, why don't we leave here."
Qiu Wuhen nodded and said: "I told you, you'd better not follow me. If you are willing to leave now, that would be the best thing. Go back to the county seat quickly. It's the same for you to study hard in the county seat.
Anyway, if you follow me, you can only learn essays and calligraphy, which can be done anywhere, there is no need to follow me."
Fei Wudan shook his head and said: "My father said that I must follow my husband. Only by following my husband can I get ahead. I also want to pass the Jinshi exam! If I leave my husband and go back to study on my own, I will accomplish nothing in the end. Besides,
We are not from this town, so his blood curse should only be aimed at people in this town, and it is impossible for him to think of us, and we have no grudges against him."
Several other people nodded in agreement, and Chuncan said: "Yes, we still don't want to go back, just stay here and try not to go out these days. Ask the servants who buy vegetables to also pay attention, try to buy more at a time and go out less, so as not to be caught.
That vicious spell has brought disaster."
Qiu Wuhen kept silent. Tang Yan saw the uncertainty on his face and said with concern: "Sir, are you okay? What are you thinking about?"
Qiu Wuhen woke up from a dream and said, "I was thinking about what Chuncan said just now."
"What words?"
"He said that all those who died were men, and those who died and those who vomited blood were all men. And I know that there is a woman who is Zhang Dalang's wife. I will go to her house to investigate now. Is this a coincidence or one of them?
What’s the connection?”
Qian Jinzhi also followed Qiu Wuhen out and said, "I'll go with you too. I think this is really a breakthrough to find out what's going on?"
Tang Yan followed and said, "It's so fun, why don't you take me with you?"
Qian Jinzhi turned around and looked at Tang Yan as if she were a fool, and said, "Miss Tang, you actually say it's fun when a matter of life and death is at stake?"
Tang Yan was obviously stunned for a moment, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, and hesitated: "That's not what I meant, I just thought you looked so proud when you solved the case with the adults, and I wanted to see it too."
Qian Jinzhi asked again: "What are you looking at? To see a dying person vomiting blood everywhere, or to see someone's wife scattered and their family destroyed?"
Tang Yan was speechless by Qian Jinzhi, her eyes were filled with tears. Qiu Wuhen on the side couldn't bear it and said: "Shopkeeper Qian, it's just a little girl's curiosity, don't say it so unbearably.
.”
Seeing that Qian Jinzhi stopped talking, Qiu Wuhen said to Tang Yan: "Your sister Qian is following me because she has time to stay and doesn't need my care. But with you, the case is still unclear and I have too much time to take care of myself.
If something happens, I can't explain it to Mrs. Tang. You should just stay at home and write."
Qiu Wuhen's tone was kind, and Tang Yan was not sad. Knowing that Qiu Wuhen was right and that she was not a cruel person, she nodded and said, "Then Sir and Sister Qian, please be careful." After saying that, she turned around.
gone.
"I heard that this Transcendent Town Sugar Triangle is delicious. I'll bring it to you when I come back." It was Qian Jinzhi's voice.
Tang Yan paused, turned and gave Qian Jinzhi and Qiu Wuhen a very nice smile, nodded without saying anything, and went in.
The two of them came out of the house and went all the way to Zhang Dalang's house.
Many people are holding funerals on the street now, and there are cries and suona sounds everywhere, making it look miserable. The same is true for Zhang Dalang's family.
Qiu Wuhen and the others stepped in. Zhang Dalang hurriedly came up to greet them and said, "Master Qiu is here."
Qiu Wuhen said: "Call your wife over. I have something to ask you and your wife."
Zhang Dalang hurriedly called his wife and went to the inner house to talk.
Qiu Wuhen said to Zhang Dalang's wife, "Are you related by blood to the Zhang Orion family?"
Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Qiu, how did you know? Not many people know about this."
Of course Qiu Wuhen knew, because he extracted the DNA of Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Orion from the medicinal gourd in his mind, and compared it and found that the two were related by blood. Although they were separated by several generations, they were collateral blood relatives within five generations, that is, they were
Five servers.
However, if Qiu Wuhen did not mention this family relationship, even Mrs. Zhang would not be able to remember it. Because the relationship was too far apart, she counted it on her fingers and said, "Zhang Orion's father is my distant cousin."
Uncle, but because my relatives are too far away, I rarely interact with his family at all, and regardless of our relationship, we still call each other by our own names."
