This old lady, named Tian, lives at the market in Fenghua County. Her
husband died young, leaving only a small residence and a son.
His son Tian Sangen served as a soldier in Anshen City and could only return
home once every two months. In addition to her, there is also a daughter-in-
law Ruqiu who lives in the house. Ruqiu has been pregnant for seven months.
Due to his poor health, he spends most of his time in bed for recuperation.
The source of income depends entirely on Tian Sangen's monthly money. Although
the family is in a mediocre family, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get
along well and have a good life.
I can hug my grandson right away. Naturally, Mrs. Tian pays more attention to
her daughter-in-law. In her free time, she will do some manual work and go to
the market to sell her, hoping to make Ruqiu eat better. But what she didn't
expect was that something happened at home half a month ago.
At first it was just a sound-in the middle of the night, there will be strange
sounds of da and da, sometimes like on the beams of the house, and sometimes
in front of the window sill, and even occasionally from the two of you There
was a cold sweat.
After , the situation gradually became more serious. Crock pots and rice bowls
would inexplicably shatter, window papers were drilled with holes, and the
sound began to affect reality a little bit.
Even if the two people light up candles in the room, they cannot stop the
appearance of this vision.
Tian's wife needs to be in peace. After such a tossing, the whole person
becomes haggard. Not only has she lost a lot of weight, but her mental state
has become more unstable. If this continues, let alone a safe delivery, there
is a possibility that the children in her belly cannot be kept.
Tian Tian did not think of ways, such as moving out for a while. However, the
family is not rich, and neither renting a house nor an inn can last too long.
She also bought divine water and ghost-expelling charms from nearby temples,
but the strange noise remained, and she seemed to be getting closer and
closer.
In desperation, she begged Zhao Dahai.
When he first arrived in Fenghua County, Zhao Dahai had dealt with "spiritual
problems" several times under the banner of "Making the Demons", and he had
gained a bit of fame. Of course, in Xia Fan's eyes, most of those spiritual
phenomena were just villagers’ Conjecture or heart disease, and the so-called
fame, at best, is the degree to which neighbors in the street will talk so
much. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tian not only heard it, but also wrote it down, so
that when she was helpless, she found Zhao Dahai.
At that time, the master had gotten rid of the predicament of arrears, and
naturally responded. It is a pity that he failed to flicker this time, and
after several "destroying demons", he couldn't make the strange noise
disappear, so he could only thank the guests behind closed doors. But Mrs.
Tian obviously didn't give up. She just thought that Daochang Zhao didn't
exert all her strength, and she came to beg once every one or two days. It was
not until Xia Fan returned to Fenghua County that she had the first scene.
"Zhao Daochang said that if even his apprentice can't solve it, it is
impossible for a second person in Fenghua County to solve it." The old lady
looked at Xia Fan eagerly, "Little Dao Master...Little Fairy Master, please
Save my family!"
I really found a good master. Xia Fan rolled his eyes silently, he was not
looking for something for himself, but simply shirking responsibility. I don't
want to think that all the things my apprentice has learned come from the
master, and the evil that the master can't handle, can his apprentice become
it?
Wait... It seems to be really possible. If there is a thunder in the house
directly, no matter what evil is hidden, it is estimated that it will be wiped
out. The problem is that with such a thunderstorm, it is estimated that half
of the old man's house will be destroyed. Doesn't it mean that if you help,
you will not help?
This method does not work.
But refused... Honestly, Xia Fan couldn't let this heart down.
The old lady in front of her was in her fifties and her hair was all gray.
Judging from her face full of wrinkles and sun marks, she knew that she had
suffered a lot in her life. For her, seeing her children and grandchildren
landed is probably the greatest comfort in this life, so she did everything
possible to lie down in front of a young man who was less than one-third of
her age.
If it was a miscarriage, the frail and sickly Tian's wife would be more ill-
fortuned. Even if the family is still there, it will definitely be fragmented
and no longer.
The education Xia Fan received from an early age was to help others, but his
ability was limited in the past. At most, helping others stayed at the level
of collecting money and giving directions to strangers. Now that he has the
ability to save lives, it is difficult for him to pretend to be blind.
After thinking, Xia Fan's eyes suddenly stopped in the shadow of the back
room.
By the way, isn’t there a personal disciple of the Privy Council Qingjian
here?
If she was asked to take a look at the scene, she might find some clues!
The fox demon is injured and cannot do it, but this is not the key. The key is
to find a countermeasure. He can do things like doing it.
Xia Fan thought about it for a moment, and found that this idea was
unexpectedly feasible.
First of all, from the news from Mrs. Tian, the "weird" in her house is not
a vicious monster, otherwise the master would never go to the second or third
time if the opponent is a little more dangerous. I ran far away long ago.
Secondly, county towns are not as tightly controlled as in large cities. There
is no curfew or night patrol, and the risk of fox demon exposure is very low.
The only problem is whether Li is willing to intervene in this matter.
But when it comes to the ability to persuade, Xia Fan thinks he has full
confidence.
"I can try, but there are a few conditions that must be stated in advance."
"Don't hesitate to say that the leader, as long as I can do it—"
"You can do what I mentioned." He interrupted, "First, you can't keep people
in the house when I practice, you can only wait outside; second, don't promote
this, I don't want others to know about it. It has something to do with me;
thirdly, there is no guarantee of results. UU reading www.uukanshu.com has a
lot of strange things, I can only say do my best."
"I understand, I understand..." The old lady nodded repeatedly.
"And the fourth point...I need a set of your daughter-in-law's clothes, which
are looser." Xia Fan slowly said, "I also have a pair of hats and clothes. I
will pay."
"Money is unnecessary! But...what does the trail leader want these for?"
"Just in case the sky changes late at night."
……
After Mrs. Tian left, Li poked her head out of the inner room, "Who told you
that I agreed to help her? I am a demon, she is a human. I have no reason to
help an irrelevant human being, just as people would not help. Like a demon."
deserves to be a fox demon, he hasn't said anything yet, the other party
already knows his intentions well.
Li's tone was rather unpleasant, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with
Xia Fan's self-assertive behavior, "Say it first, I promise to cooperate with
you, it does not mean that everything is listened to you. We are not
subordinate, and cooperation should be sufficient. Make a decision after
negotiation—"
"You are right, but this matter is about life after all, and I didn't have the
opportunity to discuss it with you just now." Xia Fan calmed down, "As for the
first point you said, I feel biased."
"Partial? It's good if people don't shout at the demon."
"Have I helped you?" Xia Fan asked back.
"Have."
"Am I human?"
Li got stuck for a while, "This, you are different..."
"Then you don't help her, can you help me?" He took advantage of the
situation, "The other party is not an alchemist in the Privy Council, and has
no direct interest in the demon. You will not have any bad consequences if you
help me. It was not just right before. Speaking of the classification of evil
spirits? You can treat it as an on-site teaching."
