    "Why have you been here for so long?" Jing Cheng asked in a deep voice as he stepped out of the dining hall.

    "After I came out of Chen Laosan's yard, I listened to gossip for a while." A Piao tutted, "As expected of a wealthy family, the grievances and hatreds in it can be made into a TV series. No wonder people often say that art comes fromLife."

    Jing Cheng stopped in his tracks when he heard this, and turned around with a bad expression: "I asked you to find out the reason for the bad luck, but you actually went to eavesdrop on gossip?"

    A Piao was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth in mid-air: "I'm not..."

    "What is it?" Jing Cheng squinted at "him".

    Ah Piao's pale face became even paler. After a while, it made an aggrieved expression on its face, and said in a low voice, "You are all eating in the restaurant. I am a ghost and I can't eat it. I can only smell it."Taste, come back to find you soon, see you are eating deliciously, this is not poking my heart..."

    Jing Cheng: "..."

    Seeing that Jing Cheng didn't speak, Ah Piao continued to put on a heart-holding gesture, and said cryingly: "Thinking that I was only in the age of dancing elephants, I encountered an accident, and I haven't had time to experience the adult world..."

    Jing Cheng looked at him with indescribable eyes, and it took him a long time to say a word: "You were an actor before your death?"

    It's like a showman, talking and acting...

    Ah Piao thought for a while and said, "I don't know either, but I know that my boss was an actor before his death! He has acted in hundreds of TV dramas and movies, and he is very good!"

    An actor, who has acted in so many scripts... must be able to play any role with ease.

    Jing Cheng's beautiful eyes rolled around, and his thoughts came alive.

    A Piao observed his expression carefully, and said in his heart that it was not his illusion, this celestial master must be uneasy and kind.

    "Where is your boss now?" Jing Cheng asked him abruptly.

    "He's just...huh?" Ah Piao almost said reflexively, staring at him vigilantly, "Why are you asking this? My boss is the leader of this area, our protector! I won'tTell you where he is!"

    It is enough for him to be enslaved by this vicious celestial master, do you want to capture his boss and enslave him?

    If you can't pass his level, don't even think about it!

    Jing Cheng didn't know it at the time, but in the kid's mind, he was imagined as a slave owner in the old society who only enslaved peasants.

    In fact, when he heard that the "boss" of this kid was an actor before his death, he immediately thought of Yan Xiu who was still lying in the hospital.

    As an actor, he acted in hundreds of plays during his lifetime, presumably because he loves the profession of actor very much.

    And according to this little ghost's narration, his "boss" shouldn't be too old before he died.

    The conditions are too good!

    He decided that after the Chen family's matter was resolved, he must find out the "boss" that the little devil called.

    Ah Piao, who was floating in mid-air, felt a chill rise up his back for no reason, and couldn't help shivering.

    It's strange, he has already turned into a ghost, why can he still feel the temperature change...

    After thinking it over, Jing Cheng put his mind on the business in front of him: "What did you find in the yard just now?"

    A Piao recalled for a while, and said slowly: "Didn't you tell me to look for what attracts me in the yard. I just looked for it by feeling. At first, I found one under a tree in that yard.The black puppet was not buried deep, so I dug it out. But the place where the puppet's head and body are connected has been split, and it doesn't look artificial."

    Yin objects are inherently unlucky, and they are easily attracted to things with unlucky qualities, so it is definitely not a good thing that can be attracted by little ghosts.

    Jing Cheng has dealt with sorcery such as witchcraft very frequently. After listening to the little ghost's brief description, he understood that this is another one who uses the technique of disgust to harm people.

    He had always been skeptical about Zhang Rui secretly learning Liu's Gu technique, no matter what the secret technique, even someone with outstanding talent, would not be able to learn it within ten or eight years.

    Zhang Rui was able to play Gu to harm people after only a few months of learning, except that she herself was a crooked person, she didn't think about it.

    Because most of the evil ways are common.

    "Originally, I saw that the little doll was made lifelike, but when I turned it out, I realized that it was a decapitated one. I was terrified..." Ah Piao flinched as he thought of the scene he saw just now, before continuing, "There is also a sharp knife hidden above the northeast corner of the bedroom, the tip of the knife is facing the edge of the bed, you can’t see it if you don’t look carefully, it feels very weird.”

    Jing Cheng frowned when he heard this, Jin Kemu, the metal knife was placed in the east corner of the bedroom, it would kill the male master of the house.And if the wife is Sunda, she will remarry or leave home because of being restrained by gold.

    It seems that Zhang Rui has done a lot to get rid of his marriage with Chen Xingguang...

    But...Jing Cheng saw the trembling appearance of this little ghost, and deeply suspected that the ghost he raised was a coward, so he couldn't help but said, "What are you afraid of? Ordinary things can't hurt you."

    Ah Piao sighed and said: "I just think the hostess of this house is too cruel. No wonder people often say that once a woman becomes cruel, she has nothing to do with a man. Well, fortunately, I don't like women."

    Jing Cheng: "?"

    He wanted to say that even if you like women, it's useless, people and ghosts have different ways, and it's useless no matter who you like.

    But when he thought of this brat's easy-to-explode character, he held back his stomach again.

    One person and one ghost were talking in an unattended corner of the yard. In the eyes of others, it was Jing Cheng talking to himself in the air alone, his expressions and movements looked very strange.

    Obviously, Jing Cheng didn't realize this.

    The servants of the Chen family watched this scene from afar, and couldn't help whispering to each other, pointing in the direction where Jing Cheng was.

    "What is he doing standing there? Why do I look so neurotic..."

    "Is he on the phone? I didn't see him holding a mobile phone, and he didn't wear headphones..."

    "It looks like he's talking to someone. Is there anyone in front of him? Why didn't he see where he was?"

    "Which yard is this child, why have I never seen it before?"

    "I heard it in the dining hall just now. It seems to be a classmate of Master Sun. Judging by his age, he should be a classmate of Master Zhiyi."

    "Looking at his posture, I thought there was really someone in front of him..."

    "Maybe it's because I'm too tired from studying, so I'm playing with myself."

    "Don't worry about the master's affairs." A serious female voice sounded from behind, and the footsteps of "rustle" approached them.

    When the servants saw the man's face, they immediately fell silent and lowered their heads, and stood obediently aside.

    The person who came was a middle-aged woman in her fifties, of medium build, with long braids, wearing old-fashioned linen clothes, soft-soled embroidered cloth shoes, and dressed like a servant of a wealthy family in the last century.

    High cheekbones and thin lips with single eyelids make her look a bit mean.

    The person who came was the current housekeeper of the old Chen family, Mrs. Li.

    The woman glanced at the servant fiercely, and said coldly: "That is a guest invited by the master, and you can talk about it?"

    The servants lowered their heads even lower.

    "Are there any rules!"

    Jing Cheng is not deaf, so he naturally noticed the movement here, turned his head to look over, and frowned when he saw this scene.

    Xin said that the Chen family indeed exudes the atmosphere of the old society everywhere, it seems to be a century-old wealthy family with strict rules, but inside it is old and decayed.

    Compared with the outside world, the old Chen family seems to be living a hundred years ago.

    Just as Jing Cheng was contemplating, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly dinged and buzzed.

    Who will call him at this time?

    Jing Cheng took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and the caller ID was an unfamiliar number from Shangjing City. After thinking for a while, he thought it must be someone he knew, so he pressed the green button seriously to connect.

    "Hello? You just answered the phone!" An exasperated male voice came from the phone, "Why did you block my number!"

    "..."

    Jing Cheng held the phone expressionlessly, unexpectedly he really knew someone.

    Zhang Jinhuai.

    The successor of Zhang Tianshi in Longhushan, the vice president of the Taoist Association.

    Zhang Jinhuai on the other end of the phone waited for a long time but did not get an answer from the person on the other side. He could only hear the sound of shallow breathing coming from the receiver of the phone.

    Zhang Jinhuai wondered in distress how he had offended Jing Cheng, and why the other party didn't like him so much.

    Even Zhang Baodou, a bastard, could win the favor of the other party, but he, a serious and honest person in charge of the Daoist Association, was abandoned by him, so disgusted that even his mobile phone number and WeChat were blocked.

    "What do you want from me?" The voice was cold and indifferent.

    Jing Cheng knew that Zhang Jinhuai, a busy man, would not be able to find him if nothing happened, so after he recognized the other party's voice, he didn't hang up the phone immediately.

    "I just want to tell you that although Peng Ji has been captured by us now, he still has many apprentices who are rampant outside. If you find someone who uses the technique of aversion to harm others, please notify us immediately to arrest them."Zhang Jinhuai said in a deep voice, "The laws of the world cannot judge their crimes, but the Taoist Association can."

    Jing Cheng was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help looking at the dining hall not far away.

    Zhang Rui's mother and son were still crying inside, while the rest of the Chen family were accusing Chen Xingguang of not being worthy of being a husband or a father.

    Jing Cheng was silent for too long and didn't answer, Zhang Jinhuai just thought he had listened and hung up the phone.

    With the current medical and health conditions, it is unreasonable for Zhang Rui to have such a serious lame leg.

    Thinking about it now, it should be the curse of "missing one" in Nalubanshu.

    Thinking of this, Jing Cheng came back to his senses and looked down at his phone.

    Only to find that the phone had been hung up for a long time.

    Jing Cheng: "..."

    I don't even have the patience, how can become the president of the Taoist Association?

    Now that the murderer has confessed himself, the rest is the Chen family's housework, and outsiders like them can't interfere.

    So Jing Cheng asked to say goodbye after returning home.

    "Hey? Master, are you leaving now? The Gu on my body hasn't been resolved yet." Upon hearing that Jing Cheng was about to leave, Chen Xingguang jumped out quickly and said hastily.

    "Your sister-in-law can solve it for you, so why bother outsiders." Mr. Chen said in a deep and authentic voice, with an ugly expression on his face.

    Older people will yearn for a peaceful life even if there are conflicts and disputes at home, and the treacherous Bo Yun hiding in the dark is still invisible.

    There is no contradiction in any family, and life is called life if the husband and wife are noisy.

    The appearance of Jing Cheng and his group seemed like throwing a stone in a calm lake, causing countless waves and completely breaking the vain tranquility of the Chen family.

    Even though Jing Cheng and the others were not the instigators of the accident, it was difficult for Mr. Chen to have a good impression of them.

    If you are young, you should study hard like their Jiazhiyi, and do something messy.

    "Master Jing is not an outsider, but a celestial master invited by me!" Chen Xingguang wiped the sweat from his brow, his nerves had been tense just now, he was afraid that his wife would put him to death regardless in front of everyone,Now that Zhang Rui's mother and son have been taken down, no one can threaten his safety anymore, so he has relaxed a lot.

    "As for sister-in-law..." Chen Xingguang choked up when he thought of the scene where he scolded the other party bloody, and hesitantly said for a long while, "Sister-in-law has not been a doctor for many years, so there is no need to trouble her."

    As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present became subtle.

    Chen Xingguang made no secret of his greed for life and fear of death. He offended Mrs. Liu severely just now, how dare he get rid of the poison now? What if Mrs. Liu has a grudge one day and secretly adds ingredients to the medicine?

    Jing Cheng was also speechless, if Mrs. Liu really wanted to do something to him, why wait until now?

    To measure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I am afraid that he is talking about people like Chen Xingguang.

    "Cook some bupleurum soup and drink it for a few days. During the period, abstain from salt, meat, fishy smell, and avoid alcohol and sex." Everyone paid him, so Jing Cheng naturally wouldn't ignore it, and simply told him the method of getting rid of Gu, "Or useStir the stove core soil and cold water until the color is clear, drink it to induce vomiting, and bury the spit out in the soil."

    Although the name of the harming god Gu sounds scary and the harm is great, the solution is very simple.

    If he is more ruthless and directly burns the spit out Gu worms to death, then the person who cast the Gu will also be killed by backlash.

    But Jing Cheng didn't reveal this cruel plan, because Zhang Rui didn't have many days to live.

    Chen Xingguang quickly took notes and asked his servant to cook Bupleurum Soup for him.

    ...

    Although Chen Zhiyi tried to persuade him to stay, Jing Cheng and the others still refused.

    With such a big event happening in the Chen family, it was a scandal when it spread.

    As outsiders, it's not easy for them to stay in other people's homes all the time.

    The Chen family's car took them to the scenic spot and drove away.

    Although the temple fair is over, the aftertaste of the grand event is still there, and the scenic spot is still very lively.

    The three of them strolled around for a while, and then went to the Internet cafe to play games for a few hours.

    Although Jing Cheng often watched the two play games, he never participated in them. This was the first time he was exposed to online games, and he was almost addicted to them.

    However, rookies are generally very good. At the beginning, there was a lucky buff for rookies given by the GM for free, so the first few rounds were smooth, but after a few rounds, the rookies gradually showed their signs.Dislike, no matter how calm Jing Cheng is, he can't stand the mouthful of netizens.

    Games can easily affect the player's emotions, especially the hot-blooded games. After being scolded several times in a row, Jing Cheng even wanted to write down the opponent's ID, pick up the opponent's real identity, and use a curse-like spellLet them have bad luck for a few days.

    Fortunately, he held back.

    Instead, Qin Yan, who was sitting in front of the machine next to him, discovered the situation on his side, used his account to torture the other party back, and then attached "father-like taunts", leaving the other party speechless.

    Qin Yan: "Through the network cable, no one knows who is who. People in the game don't care about what they say. If you encounter something like this, just spray it back."

    Jing Cheng: "..."

    It's really unexpected that there will be a day when he needs to be protected.

    But it's not a bad feeling.

    Jing Cheng tilted his head and glanced at him, thoughtfully.

    On the way back to the hotel that evening, Fu Le kept pestering Jing Cheng for gossip about the Chen family.

    Although Qin Yan didn't show it on his face, his eyes revealed curiosity.

    Jing Cheng didn't hide from them that he raised a little ghost, so he also told them about the little ghost's inquiry.

    There has been a saying since ancient times: men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.

    However, if you enter the wrong line of work, you can change another line of work, but if a woman marries the wrong man, her life will be ruined.

    Although in today's society, couples can divorce if they are not in harmony, there are always some feudal families in this world who value face more than life and death.

    For example, the Chen family.

    With the personalities of Zhang Rui and Chen Xingguang, their marriage was doomed to end in tragedy from the very beginning. It would be fine if they divorced early and stopped the loss in time. However, because of the "rules" of the Chen family, this marriage lasted for seventeen years.

    Perhaps Zhang Rui wanted to live a good life at the beginning, and even gave birth to a son for Chen Xingguang, but her husband spent all day drinking and staying away from home, and even brought back women from outside when he returned home, and didn't take Zhang Rui seriously at all.

    The father-in-law and mother-in-law saw it but ignored it, and Zhang Rui, who was proud and arrogant, was even more unlikely to choose to ask for help in a low voice, because if he asked, it might be in vain, and he would even be laughed at.

    She can only choose to be patient.

    Sometimes after being silent for a long time, instead of perishing in silence, it erupts in silence.

    Although Zhang Rui is used to being silent, she is not a cowardly person, so she chose to explode in silence.

    Accidentally, she learned the technique of defeating victory from someone.

    One leg was lame, but she didn't mind, as long as Chen Xingguang could die.

    Later, when she accidentally saw Mrs. Liu's family's notes on raising Gu techniques, her mind moved, and evil thoughts suddenly arose.

    ...

    "Damn it! Chen Xingguang is such a big scumbag, it's really not a pity to die," Fu Le couldn't help cursing after hearing this, "Why should this kind of man save him? He'll just die."

    At the end, he sighed again: "Aunt Zhang is so pitiful. I think she is justifiable even if she harmed others. It is a pity that she just died like this."

    Qin Yan has a different opinion: "With her family background, there is no need to be patient. It is absolutely possible to report Chen Xingguang's infidelity in marriage. With sufficient evidence, the two divorce is a certainty. No matter how big the family rules are, they are not bigger than the law."

    Fu Le: "...Then why did she choose to play Gu in the end?"

    "Probably because of hatred, or unwillingness to admit defeat." Qin Yan thought for a while and said, "A proud woman with family background, appearance, and education is trampled on by her husband like this. What would you do?"

    Fuller was at a loss for words.

    What is he going to do?He is not a woman, how could he understand a woman's thoughts?

    Jing Cheng said calmly: "Using sorcery to harm people will be condemned by God, no matter what your starting point is."

    Based on the fact that Zhang Rui was probably Peng Ji's apprentice, it was impossible for the members of the Taoist Association to let her go.

    "But Chen Xingguang is a big scumbag. This is an indisputable fact. Isn't keeping him alive a disaster?" Fu Le was puzzled, "Cheng Zi, why did you choose to save him? Our family is not short of his two dollars."

    "The fact that he ran into me in two accidents means that he deserved to die." Jing Cheng shrugged and said, not to mention that it was only after he made a move that he knew the cause and effect every time. He couldn't turn his back on anyone, could he?

    It has to be said that Chen Xingguang's fortune is still very strong.

    "God is really unfair! It's really good people don't live long, and the disaster will last a thousand years." Fu Le said angrily.

    nice guy?

    Is Zhang Rui a good person?

    Jing Cheng and Qin Yan looked at each other, and they could see the speechless look in each other's eyes.

    It was Fu Le who was so silly and sweet, and when he saw the mother and son hugging each other and crying, his heart was moved, and he felt that Zhang Rui was a good person.

    In order to kill her husband, she even ignored her own son's life. This was the most ruthless mother he had ever seen.

    She didn't come out when Mrs. Liu was misunderstood, she had to wait until they named her before she came out and confessed, which shows that she had planned to let Mrs. Liu take the blame from the beginning.

    As for the scourge...

    Jing Cheng smiled lightly, and said, "Chen Xingguang has only one son, Chen Zhiqiao, in his life."

    His mother died because of his father, and Chen Zhiqiao will hate his father all his life.

    The Chen family also valued offspring, so Chen Xingguang's rest of his life might not be easy.

    What's more, how can luck be immutable?
