243: A familiar drama
He heard Mr. Shu say that using the human heart to make medicine can cure all diseases.
It's hard to believe that there are really people who are so heartbroken that they would go to the extent of poaching people's hearts in order to cure their illnesses.
Fan Shizhong said with a cold face: "The murderer is so vicious, no matter what the reason is, he must be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible! Investigate, you must investigate carefully!"
The police officer responded sworn and sent people to the surrounding area to question the people in order to know if the murderer had left any traces.
As soon as the person next to him was questioned, his expression changed with shock and he said: "There is no murderer! It's a monster, it's a monster that took out my heart!"
Fan Shizhong and the policeman were both stunned.
The old lady was still frightened, and her voice was trembling: "I heard it, it was a monster causing trouble! Sir, you have to believe me!"
Fan Shizhong frowned. His Fan family had just experienced a catastrophe, and almost all members of the family lost their lives. Now that he encountered something even more bizarre, he would not just say he didn't believe it.
But this kind of thing has never happened in Ruyang City, and now five people died at once, which forced Fan Shizhong to treat it with caution.
Who would have thought that at this moment a young catcher hurried in and shouted that something was wrong.
Fan Shizhong quickly asked what happened.
The little catcher said: "Suddenly there was a cat demon making trouble on the other side of the street. Fortunately, a young Taoist priest appeared and stopped the cat demon from doing evil. It is still going around now."
Fan Shizhong was shocked: "Is it really evil?"
With that said, he immediately rushed to the street.
At this time, there was a panic on the other side of the street, and many stalls were damaged and fell to the ground.
The people all fled to a distance of more than ten meters and only dared to watch from a distance.
The Taoist priest was holding a mahogany sword and was fighting with the cat demon inextricably.
The cat demon made several cruel attacks, but the Taoist priest defused them all. Seeing that she was at a disadvantage, she grabbed the people in the alley and threw them at them.
"Ah——" That commoner was none other than Mr. Fan.
He just came out to drink tea and eat a cake, and now he encountered a monster that was rare in a century. How unlucky he was.
"Be careful." He Wen took the person and held it firmly, but because of this, the cat demon escaped.
Mr. Fan was spinning for a while. After he stood still and saw that everything was fine, he couldn't help but cry with joy. He grabbed He Wen's hand and said, "Thank you sir!"
Although he was tricked by Fan Guizong before, the Ninth Princess made him regain his confidence in the Taoist priests.
And this young Taoist priest had just acted quickly and accurately to save the people from danger. From this point of view, he must be a good Taoist priest.
He Wen still frowned and sighed heavily: "You're welcome, it's just that this monster is extremely vicious. Now that he has escaped, there will be endless troubles."
When the people around him heard this, their expressions changed one after another, and they whispered to each other what to do.
Second Master Fan immediately thought of Nan Li, but Nan Li had already left Ruyang City for two days. Even if he sent someone to look for him quickly, it would still take three to five days.
Now the monsters are making trouble in Ruyang City, but water from afar cannot save the fire that is near.
A man said: "Taoist Master, please subdue that monster quickly, otherwise we all will not be able to sleep peacefully."
A woman nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I heard in the morning that there was a murder case in the west of the city. The whole family had their hearts ripped out. It must have been this monster."
As soon as these words came out, many people were frightened.
It happened that Fan Shizhong arrived with the police, and some people asked if there was a heart-wrenching murder.
Fan Shizhong's forehead was covered with sweat and he didn't know how to answer.
Because once the truth is told, it will only make people more panic.
However, Mr. Fan, a fool, became anxious when he saw that his eldest brother was silent: "Brother, if you don't speak, then it's true?! Oh, it's lucky that the Taoist priest just took action, otherwise my heart would also be broken."
It was taken away."
He covered his chest and screamed twice.
The people were immediately upset. Some of them were timid and began to shed tears, wondering what to do.
Fan Shizhong gouged out his younger brother, thinking why the monster didn't take his heart away, so he wouldn't talk nonsense here.
He Wen listened and watched, although his face was solemn, his heart was already filled with joy.
He lurked in Ruyang City for several days and carefully planned this game, and it turned out to be extremely effective.
He raised his hand slightly and said: "Don't panic, everyone. I have a demon-suppressing charm here. It will work as long as it is posted at home, and the monsters will not dare to come near."
Mr. Fan was the first to get excited, "There are actually demon-suppressing talismans? Give me ten of them!"
He Wen said: "If the house is not big, one sheet is enough."
"My family is big, and even ten sheets may not be enough. I thought about it, and I need at least twenty sheets." Mr. Fan touched his chin and thought for a while, "right, brother?"
Fan Shizhong was relieved to learn that there was also a demon-suppressing talisman.
In this way, the safety of the people can be guaranteed, and then he will find a way to catch the monster.
He didn't answer, but asked: "Excuse me, sir, how much does your demon-suppressing talisman cost?"
Even if a Taoist priest's bounden duty is to catch ghosts and eliminate demons, he cannot let others work in vain.
"Three taels of silver." He Wen said, "If you want to come to the house, I can draw more to help you tide over the difficulties."
Fan Shizhong's eyes were filled with admiration.
This man does not have a mouth as wide as that of a lion, so he seems to be a good Taoist priest.
After the people had experienced what they had just experienced, they naturally wanted to buy it. Fan Shizhong invited people to the Yamen and quickly asked people to draw the talisman.
Officials help maintain order. One family is only allowed to buy one. If a poor family cannot afford it, the money will be credited to the Fan family's account. He will never leave a family behind!
It is precisely because of this that Fan Shizhong has been loved by the people of Ruyang in recent years.
He Wen painted without stopping.
The money piles up more and more.
It wasn't until night that I saw no people coming to buy talismans.
He Wen's hand was extremely sore and he could no longer lift it up. Moreover, he seemed to have exhausted too much energy, causing his face to turn pale.
Fan Shizhong was grateful and hurriedly asked people to rest.
He Wen nodded: "Please, sir, send someone to move the money to my house."
"Of course." Fan Shizhong agreed.
He Wen returned to the house, and the money was delivered next.
The eyes of the official who delivered the silver were shining. It amounted to several thousand taels of silver at least. They would never earn so much money in ten lifetimes.
I never thought that being a Taoist priest could make so much money.
He Wen ignored their envious looks and asked someone to go out and close the door.
After waiting for a moment, it was quiet outside and there was no one around, and then he said, "Come out."
When Sang Wan heard the call, she remembered the demon-locking ring around her neck. She didn't dare to make a mistake, so she came out from behind the shelf obediently. A faint silver light flashed through her, and she transformed into a human being.
"Husband." There was a hint of fear in her voice.
He Wen's hands were really weak, so he asked her to put the money in the Qiankun bag, and they left immediately.
Sang Wan was puzzled, "Aren't we going to catch monsters again? Why are you leaving now?"
