"However, as long as he is willing to do good deeds and extend his life, it will not be a problem to live for two or three more years."
Han Xiangzi couldn't bear Mrs. Zhang to be so sad, so she added.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang felt less sad.
"Thank you, Taoist Master Han, for your information."
"It's just a little effort."
"Life and death are fateful, Mrs. Zhang, don't think too much about it. After death, many good people will be rewarded in the next life, and they can even stay in the underworld as errands."
Han Xiangzi waved his hand and said.
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Zhang's heart moved.
There seems to be hope.
……
After returning to his residence, Han Xiangzi fell asleep.
During the day, he was busy all day long, and his magic power was also reduced a lot.
Sewing a corpse for burial sounds simple.
But this move is tantamount to rejuvenating a dead tree.
After all, this is to allow people who have turned into skeletons after death to have flesh and blood again.
Early in the morning.
Han Xiangzi got up at nine o'clock as usual, sat cross-legged and meditated for an hour, and then had breakfast.
Breakfast is still sent by Cuizhi.
Han Xiangzi was eating while the maid was cleaning the house.
Seeing her diligent figure, Han Xiangzi remembered what happened last night and said:
"Today I still go out at Chen time, and I will probably come back at You time."
Cui Zhi said: "If I know this, I will tell the old lady."
……
After leaving Zhang's Mansion, Han Xiangzi went straight to Longyinfang.
Today and tomorrow, he still has six more to complete.
The workload is not low.
It is worth mentioning that yesterday, the news that Han Xiangzi sewed the corpses of three girls from the Li family, the Ji family, and the Yu family in Longyangfang gradually spread.
People in the community already know that a capable Taoist priest has come to Longshan County.
Especially when the families of the deceased heard about it, they fell to the ground and knelt down when they saw a Taoist priest coming in.
Therefore, Han Xiangzi's actions were quite smooth on this day.
I have gained a lot of faith power, and the lotus seed in my soul is almost half mature.
Returning to Zhang Mansion again, Han Xiangzi took a simple wash and then fell asleep under the quilt.
During this period, he also thought about Brother Zeng Dao and took out his spiritual mirror to take a look.
As a result, the spiritual mirror remained calm.
Han Xiangzi didn't know whether Brother Zeng Dao had received the message he sent?
Seeing that the seven-day period is getting closer.
Han Xiangzi doesn't want to waste time.
He decided to go to Qingyun Temple to ask the Taoist boy next to Brother Zeng where he had gone after he had completely settled the matter at hand.
The third day.
Han Xiangzi is still busy in Longyinfang.
I didn’t return to Zhang Mansion until late at night.
What surprised him was that when he got up early on the fourth day to practice, he actually heard the sound of reading aloud.
It was Zhang Changwen, holding a book in his hand and studying hard in front of the window.
Seeing how diligent he was, Han Xiangzi nodded slightly.
Realizing that Zhang Changwen has really changed his mind, he is bound to make some achievements in his official career!
……
Juying Village is more than 30 miles north of Longshan County.
The origin of this village is because there is Yingshan Mountain behind the village.
Juyingshan covers an area of ​​more than a hundred miles and spans several counties. It is well-known in Pingchuan Prefecture.
In the case of human skin, a deceased person was found in Juying Village.
The deceased’s name was Lu Yun, and she came from the Lu family at the foot of Juying Mountain.
The Lu family is very poor.
Because Lu's father died young, only Lu Yun and her mother were left to depend on each other!
Lu Yun was sixteen years old, and her family relied entirely on his weaving for a living. Because Lu's mother suffered from leg disease, she could not work, and Lu Yun's father died early.
The Lu family’s land was lent to the He family for farming.
During every harvest season, the He family would distribute some food to the Lu family.
I usually take care of one or two.
Coincidentally, this He family is the He Shuxiu He family that Chen Xian mentioned before, who is expected to become a high school scholar in the future.
"Aunt Lu, Yun Niang's body will be buried soon."
"I heard that a Taoist priest came to the county. He has powerful magic and can sew human skin back together."
"In the past few days, many women in the county who were murdered like Yun Niang have recovered their appearance and been buried."
"I think the Taoist priest should come to our Juying Village soon."
In an old mud house, a scholar wearing old clothes and a scholarly atmosphere was persuading Mother Lu.
Lu Yun’s mother is a miserable person.
She was a child bride of a wealthy family since she was a child. She was kicked out because of a leg disease and lived in Juying Mountain, where she eventually married Lu Yun's father.
Today's Mother Lu is over fifty years old, with gray skin, a face full of wind and frost, and a lot of hair on her temples.
In recent days, due to Lu Yun's death, she has been depressed and crying.
He Shuxiu was afraid that she would not be able to think about it, so he came to visit every now and then.
"Shu Xiu, are you telling the truth?"
Hearing this, Mother Lu was impatient to ask questions.
"Aunt Lu, it's true. It's spread throughout the county."
The scholar answered seriously.
This scholar is none other than He Shuxiu.
He was admitted as a scholar this year and ranked among the best.
Because of the excellent article, it was favored by the examiners.
Even wealthy families in Pingchuan Prefecture are interested in getting married to the He family.
"Shu Xiu, thank you for telling me this."
"Auntie, I know you haven't been feeling well these past few days. It's a pity that my Yun Niang is not lucky enough to be able to get together with you."
"The wealthy Xie family of Pingchuan Mansion. I heard that Miss Xie's family is virtuous and virtuous. She is a good woman. She admires your literary talents and is willing to commit herself to marrying you. Please agree to this marriage and save your parents from worrying."<
/p>
Mother Lu felt a lot of comfort in her heart. Thinking of the recent events in the He family, he gave her earnest words of advice.
It turns out that He Shuxiu and Lu Yun have been childhood sweethearts since childhood.
When they got a little older, the two of them decided to make a lifelong commitment privately.
The two families did not stop this.
On the contrary, I am happy to see success.
It's a pity that Lu Yun died in Juying Mountain a few days ago.
On that day, Lu Yun went to Juying Mountain to pick medicinal herbs for her mother. She also took a look at whether there were any precious medicinal herbs in the mountains and took them out to sell in the city, so that she could save some money and keep them as expenses for He Shuxiu to go to Beijing in the future.
Used for exams.
But I never came back.
In fact, when He Shuxiu was admitted as a scholar, Lu Yun was sincerely happy for him.
But when she learned that a wealthy family in Pingchuan Prefecture was interested in He Shuxiu, she felt that she could not be his wife.
First, there is a hierarchy of status!
He Shuxiu is a scholar, and he will be able to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi in the future!
Secondly, the lintel is wrong!
Since He Shuxiu passed the examination as a scholar, the He family has gained many relatives, who have given money and gifts.
Gradually, the He family became rich and no longer the poor peasants they once were.
But He Shuxiu didn't like that girl from the Xie family, he only loved Lu Yun.
Realizing that Lu Yun had deliberately distanced herself from him because of this matter, He Shuxiu found her, confessed his true feelings to her, and hoped that the two of them would get married soon.
The night when Lu Yun disappeared, He Shuxiu searched for him all night!
Finally, at dawn, her body was found in the mountains!
There is also no human skin, and the whole body is covered in blood and flesh.
He Shuxiu was shocked to realize that Lu Yun had also been poisoned.
At that time, the human skin case had already caused a stir in Longshan County.
People were panicked for a while.
Although Juying Village is far away from the county seat, villagers still heard rumors about this incident.
After He Shuxiu found Lu Yun's body, he went to the county government office to report the crime the next day. Afterwards, Chen Xian also registered Lu Yun's name in the register.
"No!"
"Aunt Lu, since I have promised Yun Niang to marry her, I will not let anyone else enter my Xie family."
Hearing this, He Shuxiu flatly refused with a serious look on his face.
"And I will also take care of you until you die."
Having said this, He Shuxiu looked at Lu's mother and spoke sincerely.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Mrs. Yun can't be resurrected, why do you have to wrong yourself?"
Mother Lu shook her head, but tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"No grievance."
He Shuxiu’s stubborn way.
He remembered that when he was a child, in order to study, his family's money was almost running out and they had no money to buy books. Lu Yun secretly sold the food at home and bought him books.
