Chapter 3 Maoshan Taoist priest
Zhang Yi and his wife felt like they were about to die. They screamed in horror, but the next moment, they woke up from the nightmare.
"So you are just dreaming!" A hint of mockery flashed across Qin Ming's face. Isn't it just a dream? He was even fussy.
Zhang Yi said expressionlessly: "This is indeed a dream, but the problem is that every time we two wake up, we find ourselves in the basement!"
"You are sleepwalking, are you?" Qin Ming asked in real life.
"Have you ever seen sleepwalking people tie themselves up?" Sun Xinyi said angrily.
After the couple woke up, they were not only in the basement, but they were tied up like in their dreams. The only difference was that the horror scene in the dream did not happen. The basement was still the basement, and the environment did not change at all.
"If it only happened once, it would be a sleepwalking, but the problem is..." Zhang Yi continued to tell calmly.
The first time happened seven days ago. The next day they locked the doors and drank coffee and watched TV. They thought they wouldn't sleep all night, so they came to find out what happened.
But a strange thing, the couple still fell asleep unknowingly, just like taking sleeping pills or taking an anesthetic, and their sleepiness could not be stopped.
As a result, they still had the same dream and woke up in the basement.
This time, the couple was panicked and slept directly in the hotel on the third day, and it was more than ten kilometers away from their home.
However, the distance did not stop the strange thing from happening. The couple had the same dream and woke up and returned to the basement!
They hurried to the hotel to check the surveillance, but in the surveillance, they only entered the room, and there was no record of them leaving the room!
"You...you are really damn!" Qin Ming's body trembled unconsciously. He pretended to be a ghost on his usual occasion, but he was actually a timid person.
Fu Xiaofan listened carefully from beginning to end and said, "It seems that the ghosts you encounter are not ordinary. It is easy for ghosts to penetrate the walls and enter the houses. But it is not something that any ghost can do without knowing it."
Zhang Yi nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Ren said the same thing. We found that there was no record in the surveillance, so we immediately went to find the master and finally found Mr. Ren for help."
Hearing this, Qin Ming said angrily: "Okay, if you have this problem, you won't come to me, but you will go to find a young Taoist priest whom you never know. What do you believe in me?"
"When did you pay for every time you come to treat your injuries? What do you think we can trust you?" Sun Xinyi always targeted her words everywhere, and Zhang Yi, who is a good-tempered person, is willing to help Qin Ming treat his injuries for free again and again.
This incident had long made his wife Sun Xinyi dissatisfied. If Zhang Yi had not regarded Qin Ming as a friend, a shameless person like Qin Ming would have been kicked out long ago.
"Cough cough..." Qin Ming coughed twice awkwardly.
Fu Xiaofan was conscientiously focused on catching ghosts: "What is the origin of that Taoist priest?"
Zhang Yi responded: "His name is Ren Haoran, and he met through a friend's introduction. He is well-known throughout the Huajiang financial circle. It is said to be an authentic Maoshan disciple. Many rich people have asked him to catch ghosts and drive away evil spirits."
Huajiang Financial Circle is a city group in the southern region of Country Z, consisting of Jiangdong City, Jiangnan City, Jiangxi City, Jiangbei City and Jiangzhong City. The comprehensive strength of these five cities is among the top ten in the country.
Ren Haoran must have some ability to make a name for himself in such a place.
But Fu Xiaofan's focus is not on this: "From what you mean, this Taoist priest has been here for more than a day?"
Zhang Yi nodded: "Yes, he came two days ago. He drew a talisman for us and our wife that day, and we pressed it under the pillow when we were sleeping. That day we did not have nightmares, and we had a rare good night's sleep. But when we saw Mr. Ren the next day, he looked pale and very weak..."
That night, Ren Haoran was guarding the basement alone. Because every time Zhang Yi and his wife were in the basement, he guessed that the ghost was here.
Zhang Yi and his wife didn't know what happened that night. According to Ren Haoran himself, the evil ghost was very powerful and he couldn't deal with it. At most, he would just temporarily repel it.
Seeing that he had experienced a great war, he didn't seem to lie.
Zhang Yi and his wife can only rely on him now, so they tried their best to keep him. In the end, Ren Haoran changed his mind after doubled the price.
That night, Ren Haoran made full preparations and drew canvases in the basement. However, he asked Zhang Yi and his wife to go back to their room to sleep peacefully, and did not let them stay in the basement.
After a night, Ren Haoran was very weak again.
This was something that happened during the day today, and he refused to leave again and did not take any money.
The same drama was staged again, and the price continued to double. Ren Haoran agreed to catch ghosts for the third time. This time, he said that he wanted to use the powerful Taoist talisman passed down by his master. This talisman can only be used three times, and after three times, it will be destroyed and disappeared.
I have used it twice before. According to Ren Haoran, the first time was the ancestor who suppressed a nine-tailed fox, and the second time was the master's master who drove out a ghost king. Whether it was true or false, it sounded very powerful.
He also asked Zhang Yi and his wife to stay in the basement to witness the capture of the evil ghost together. Seeing his confidence, Zhang Yi and his wife felt relieved.
At such an important moment, Qin Ming brought Fu Xiaofan to disturb him. No wonder Zhang Yi had such a bad attitude at the beginning.
"I think you have been cheated. Since he has the ability to catch ghosts, wouldn't it be better to use the ancestral Taoist talisman from the beginning? Why do you have to delay it so many times?" Qin Ming sneered.
Sun Xinyi said dissatisfiedly: "What do you know? That talisman can only be used three times. I have used it twice before. Of course, you must be cautious when the last time."
"You will believe it, who knows if what he said is true?" Qin Ming sneered, "You have never seen evil ghosts, let alone caught ghosts. Maybe he was acting twice before, in order to raise the price!"
Industry rules have industry rules, and these talented people charge different prices according to the complexity and severity of the problem. They often deliberately make things very serious in order to raise the price.
"Mr. Ren should not be such a person..." Zhang Yi muttered.
Qin Ming smiled and said, "It's just to deceive you ignorant people. All those in industries like ours understand this set of rules. Zhang Yi, if it weren't for the sake of friends, I wouldn't point out this matter. Since you invite us to exorcise ghosts, I will definitely bargain for you at that time. You just want to give me some benefits. By the way, how much does the Taoist priest want?"
"One and a half million." Zhang Yi whispered.
At first, the price was 500,000 yuan, but after repeated price increases, it is now 1.5 million yuan.
Qin Ming was so surprised that he dropped his chin. Fu Xiaofan had no idea about how much money he had, so he was not surprised. If he hadn't needed money in the world, he wouldn't even care about this thing.
Zhang Yi and his wife are indeed very rich. Since doing human organ trading on the black market, they have earned less than tens of millions. They have a son and a daughter who is developing abroad, their daughter runs a hotel, and their son is an executive in the Fortune 500 world. Not only does it not require Zhang Yi and his wife's money, they also send money back every month.
Money is not short of Zhang Yi and his wife. Now, the most important thing is to live a hundred years old. After doing illegal business over the years, how can their conscience be fulfilled?
The couple often burned incense and worshipped Buddha, just to get psychological comfort. Unexpectedly, they finally saw a ghost, and they thought it was the owner of the human organs who came to the door.
Except for the kidneys, most other organs are taken from people who have just died. Generally, legal procedures are the deceased who make a will before he dies and prepares to donate organs free of charge, and the organs will definitely not fall into the black market in the end.
Most of the human organs obtained by Zhang Yi and his wife were sold privately by the relatives of the deceased, some were bought and sold by funeral home staff, and some were of unknown origin, but they were not formal channels anyway.
If the deceased knows the human organs obtained in this case, how can he swallow them in one breath?
"In this way, the origin of the evil ghost may be the same as what you said!" Qin Ming suddenly realized and muttered to himself in private, "Fortunately, I just cheated and did not do unethical things that hurt people, otherwise I would have encountered a ghost."
"Mr. Fu, we have already told us about our situation. Can you help us?" Zhang Yi asked.
Fu Xiaofan nodded and said, "Look at the Maoshan Taoist priest catching ghosts first. If he can't do it, I will definitely help you solve the problem tonight."
Seeing that Fu Xiaofan was so sure, Zhang Yi said happily: "It's great. No matter whether Mr. Fu can help or not, when the evil ghost is eliminated, the couple will definitely repay us well."
Rewards are benefits, and as long as the problem is solved, they are willing to spend more money.
It was already eleven o'clock, and several people returned to the basement.
Ren Haoran was still arrogant. He stood up and said, "You all sit and don't move, the evil ghost will appear soon. No matter what happens, you don't leave your position, I will deal with everything!"
Sun Xinyi leaned against Zhang Yi and sat on the sofa, while Qin Ming was nervously sitting next to Fu Xiaofan. No matter how he said, now he was going to see a ghost, how could there be no reason not to be nervous?
Fu Xiaofan is not afraid of seeing ghosts, because all he sees in the underworld are ghosts. What he cares about is the evil ghosts why did he tease Zhang Yi and his wife several times but not kill them directly?
Although people in the underworld have selfish intentions, they basically do things impartially and maintain the normal operation of the six realms of reincarnation. When the soul enters the underworld, they must first investigate the causes and consequences before the judge can judge it.
Although people in the underworld cannot directly interfere, they will also entrust some messengers from the world to solve the problem.
There are messengers left in the underworld, and there are Taoist traditions left behind in the heavens, such as Maoshan. There are also their own forces in the world, such as the Xiangzong formed by the gathering of Xiangmao. Although they are majestic and catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, they do not kill them when they see ghosts.
Only evil spirits who were harming the heavens and harming the truth during their lifetime need to be driven away without hesitation. Those unjust souls who died unjustly need to relieve their resentment and pass on their resentment.
Whether it is killing ghosts or helping ghosts, it is all about accumulating merit! Merit is invisible and invisible, just like a person's fortune. Those with great merits can live a long life and have good luck. For a force, such as Maoshan and Xiangzong, it will cause the sect to have a long history and continue to be incense.
Of course, there are also some reductions in merit. Those who lack merit will definitely not have good things.
Those who study Taoism want to compete for merit, so Ren Haoran has such a bad attitude. He has little money and is afraid that Fu Xiaofan and Qin Ming will share the merits they deserve.
