Lao Sun was curious, "Then where are we going to catch ghosts now? To Yizhuang? If you can't get in, the door is locked. If you want to get in, you have to go to the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to make an offering, or there is a corpse in the government office.

Send it over."

"Where did Mr. Pan go with all his might?" Yu Qingfeng was curious.

"The boss must have gone to find Gang Leader Diao." Dalinzi answered first.

"What kind of gang?" Yu Qingfeng asked.

Lao Sun replied: "The Beggar Clan."

Yu Qingfeng laughed twice. Is this Linfu County following the routine of a martial arts drama? There is also a gang of beggars.

Out of curiosity and the need to solve the case, Yu Qingfeng suggested: "Let's go and have a look."

Dalinzi and Lao Sun looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.

"What did Mr. Pan say? You are just looking after me, I am responsible for catching ghosts. If you don't cooperate with me to guide you, I can't find out the origin of this hungry ghost. How can I prescribe the right medicine? No, catch the ghost right?"

Yu Qingfeng must first determine a premise, that is, if she wants to catch a ghost, she must find out the origin and identity of the ghost.

After hearing what Yu Qingfeng said, the two of them suddenly became enlightened and followed the lead.

Yu Qingfeng secretly rejoiced that these two people were easy to fool.

Pan Dacai was in an extremely bad mood. Originally, Yu Qingfeng wanted to follow him directly, but Dalinzi and Lao Sun stopped him, saying that Pan Dacai would probably hit a wall again. Based on past experience, he should not stand by at such times, otherwise Pan Dacai would suffer the anger of the Beggar Clan.

will be transferred to bystanders.

On the way, Yu Qingfeng asked Dalinzi and Lao Sun about the origin of the hungry ghosts in Yizhuang. However, the two people understood each other tacitly. They introduced Yu Qingfeng to the origin of the Beggar Gang in Linfu County word by word.

Only when she heard the last thing did Yu Qingfeng realize that she didn't answer the question exactly.

Two years ago, before the Hungry Ghost incident occurred in Yizhuang, there were many beggars in Linfu County. However, although they were large-scale, they were not organized. They were scattered small groups, and they often fought among themselves to compete for territory.

Two years ago, a mutilated body was discovered in Yizhuang, which attracted the magistrate of Linfu County, Yao, to visit the scene in person.

The Fu Yamen inspected it personally and found out that the mutilated corpse showed signs of being eaten by animals. It belonged to Wang Wanwan, who had just been transported from the Fu Yamen to Yizhuang two days ago. It was the freshest corpse in the Yizhuang.

This Wang Wan Wan was a pharmacy clerk. He fell and died in an accident while following the doctor up the mountain to collect medicine. The case is clear.

Magistrate Yao concluded that it must be a wild beast from the mountains that came to Yizhuang and ate the freshest corpses. Because it is impossible for humans to eat humans, it must be an animal.

I thought that this matter would be over, but a county government official named Jiang Yunhe suddenly shouted loudly, saying that those who eat people are not necessarily animals, but may also be ghosts, starving ghosts.

This Jiang Yunhe was the government official responsible for supervising Yizhuang and counting the incoming and outgoing corpses.

He said that a year ago, that is, three years ago, a beggar named Bai Yisheng starved to death on the street. His body was sent to Yi Zhuang, and he registered it in person.

But three days later, when Jiang Yunhe planned to send the collected corpses for burial, he could not find Bai Yisheng's body. He looked through the records and found that there was indeed no record of other colleagues handling Bai Yisheng's body.

Bai Yisheng's body could not come in or out, and just disappeared in Yizhuang.

Bai Yisheng was starving to death, and the government officials were very impressed when he was brought in. He was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left, and his death was terrifying, which made him very scared.

That night, out of fear and compassion, he offered a steamed bun next to Bai Yisheng's body.

But when he went to Yizhuang to transfer the body three days later, not only was Bai Yisheng's body missing, but the steamed buns were also missing!

The people watching around began to whisper, saying that Bai Yisheng, who had died of starvation, had turned into a hungry ghost, and now his soul was back to control his body, and he was in urgent need of food, so he ate corpses.

Some people also mentioned that Jiang Yunhe's son had just passed the Jinshi examination this year. Maybe it was because he enshrined that steamed bun that the hungry ghost repaid his kindness and secretly protected his benefactor's son.

Yao Zhixian did not allow people to spread rumors, but did not dare to deal with Jiang Yunhe, the initiator of the rumors. After all, the people's conjectures were based on Jiang Yunhe's narrative.

A month later, Jiang Yunhe's son became a minor official in the capital, and the couple followed his son and moved to the capital.

Two months later, the legend of the hungry ghost spread throughout Linfu County.

A monk who returned to secular life said that there is a way and a process here:

At the beginning, Bai Yisheng was unwilling to starve to death and accumulated grudges. After his soul was separated from his body, he was unwilling to accept the fact that he had starved to death. He only wanted to eat enough to have his soul return to his body and return to life.

So in order to prevent his body from being buried and never found again, he stole his own body to protect it.

Where did they escape to? Naturally, it was the place of ultimate darkness. According to the monk who returned to secular life, the nearby Meishan Valley is the nearest place of ultimate darkness.

Since then, Bai Yisheng's soul has been guarding the yin place in Meishan. His resentment was nourished by the yin energy and became heavier and heavier, turning into an evil spirit. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, he can briefly possess his body.

superior..

Next, in order to completely return to the physical body and become an evil spirit, Bai Yisheng's ghost needs to absorb human nutrients. In short, eating animals in the mountains is not enough, he has to eat people.

Bai Yisheng probably still retained a bit of humanity and was unwilling to eat living people, so he targeted the unclaimed corpses buried in Yi Zhuang.

There is also resentment in corpses, and Bai Yisheng's cannibalism is also a process of accumulating resentment. As long as he eats enough 7749 corpses and accumulates 49 points of resentment, he will change from a hungry ghost to an evil evil spirit.

What will happen after becoming an evil spirit? Naturally, there will be repayment of wrongs and revenge.

Bai Yisheng was a beggar who starved to death in Linfu County during the peaceful times.

It is said that rich families are full of wine and meat, and bones are frozen to death on the road. His hatred and hatred are directed at the rich families, those wealthy families in Linfu County who eat delicacies from the mountains and seas all day long, and would rather waste food than help hungry beggars who have no food to eat.

As soon as this rumor came out, the wealthy families in Linfu County became anxious. Doesn't this clearly mean that they are rich and unkind?

The first person to become furious was Pan Dacai. He directly called several waiters in the restaurant and beat up the monk in the street for spreading rumors. He also threatened that even if the leftovers from the restaurant were fed to livestock or thrown into the river,

Not even a grain of rice would be given to a beggar.

Starting from the third day after the monk was injured, Pan Dacai's baby sister Pan Xiaoying's appetite became worse and she suffered from vomiting and diarrhea.

Less than ten days later, 19-year-old Hu Xiyan, the young owner of Hu's Rice Shop, the largest rice shop in Linfu County, and Shan Yuan, the largest landowner in Linfu County, had a son. Sixteen-year-old Dan Yuyuan was born one after another.

The symptoms were the same as those of Pan Xiaoying, including abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea.

The doctors in Linfu County got busy, taking turns to treat three families. It seemed that there was only one conclusion after all, that is, they all ate unclean things, took some detoxifying herbs, and after some time of cultivation, they would be healthy.

Relief and recovery.

At this time, the rumors in Linfu County were even more rampant. Before Bai Yisheng, the hungry ghost, had eaten enough of the forty-nine corpses and turned into an evil spirit, he had already begun to take revenge. He was probably angered by the Shan family's return of the monk, so he planned to kill him.

The precious offspring of these three families were turned into corpses and eaten.

Should they listen to the doctor and let their beloved family recuperate at home, or should they find other ways? Three wealthy families asked the doctor whether they were sure? If their relatives had something wrong, could they bear the responsibility?

The doctors were so frightened that they collectively changed their tune, saying they were not sure and their own medical skills were not good, so they asked them to hire someone who was a master.

There is indeed a miracle doctor in Linfu County, who can be called a brilliant doctor. This person's name is Xue Yuntian, and people give him the nickname Xue Shenyi. He once saved two mothers with postpartum hemorrhage, and was invited by Yao Magistrate County to treat his illness.

The son is cured.

Now, Doctor Xue has become the personal doctor of Yao Zhixian's family. He lives in Yao Zhixian's house and has not provided medical consultation for a long time.

Three families came to Yao Zhixian's residence one after another and asked Doctor Xue to treat the three young ladies.

After all, Magistrate Yao is a parent official and cannot stop him. Besides, Divine Doctor Xue is also willing to do so.

So Xue Yintian went to three houses, and finally came to only one conclusion: Xue Shen could not cure this disease, and none of the doctors could cure it. It is inconvenient to say more about other things.

When leaving, Xue Yuntian specially said to Pan Dacai: You must be especially careful.

As expected, Pan Xiaoying fell into a coma that night. Is this okay? He hurriedly contacted the heads of the other two families and said that a solution must be found quickly, otherwise the children of your two families would suffer the same consequences sooner or later.

The wounded monk who had returned to secular life was still recovering from his injuries in a shabby room. People from the Pan, Hu, and Shan families came to the door.

After giving gifts and apologizing, the heads of the three families cried bitterly in front of the monk who had returned to secular life. Finally, the former monk was shown compassion, letting go of the past and showing kindness.

The monk who returned to secular life said that in the long run, in order to prevent the hungry ghosts from turning into evil spirits and killing everyone; from the immediate perspective, in order to quickly recover from the illnesses of the three young ladies, especially the most dangerous Pan Xiaoying, there is only one solution -

Worship the hungry ghosts.

Pan Dacai was so frightened that he almost peed. According to the monk who returned to secular life, hungry ghosts only eat people. Do they want them to kill people and use their corpses as offerings?

The monks who returned to secular life directly laughed at Pan Dacai's stupidity, saying that by offering corpses, wouldn't they help the hungry ghost become evil? The sacrifice they wanted to make was to suppress the resentment of the hungry ghost, not to help him take revenge.

The Hu Dan family quickly asked how to suppress the worship.

The monk who returned to secular life said: Bai Yisheng is a beggar. He had no food to survive during his lifetime. After death, he will definitely not be willing to continue to be a humble beggar, relying on the charity of wealthy people like you.

If you want Bai Yisheng, a hungry ghost, to stop eating corpses, you have to let him taste food that he has never enjoyed before in his life.

But this food cannot come directly from your hands; it must go through a conversion process.

The best way is to give food to Bai Yisheng's companions, that is, beggars, and then let them come forward and take the begged food to Bai Yisheng in the Yi Zhuang on every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Only in this way can Bai Yisheng's resentment and hostility be eliminated.

gas.

The monk who returned to secular life said that this was just a method he could come up with, and he was not sure it would be effective.

And there is another difficulty, that is, the beggars in Linfu County have long-standing grievances with the rich and unkind people like them, and they will not cooperate easily to help.
