"If you live a good life, you will naturally have a beautiful woman in your arms, and your joy will be endless. But if you live a bad life, you will be in a catastrophe!"
Wu Zhi's brows jumped.
Seeing the old Taoist priest nagging, he just smiled and said nothing more.
After all, in Wu Zhi's own opinion, from the moment he came to the Song Dynasty, he had been experiencing so-called disasters all the time. How could he ever have a moment of peace?
Soon, Qiao Xiulian came over to smooth things over and let everyone take their seats.
From their conversation, Wu Zhi finally understood that the reason why two Taoist priests appeared here was because there were monsters in their Yangzhou city!
Wu Zhi heard Qiao Xiulian telling two Taoist priests about many rumors related to monsters.
He was listening in a daze beside him.
It was as if I and them were in two completely different worlds.
The contents of this conversation are all different, and it is difficult to overlap.
But from their mouths, Wu Zhi learned that seven-year-old children have always disappeared in Yangzhou City recently.
By this morning, the number had climbed to thirteen.
The Ma family has been operating in Yangzhou for hundreds of years, although few Ma family disciples have entered the center of imperial power.
However, they have held important positions in the government of Yangzhou City for generations, especially the current magistrate of Yangzhou City, who is Qiao Xiulian's brother-in-law.
Therefore, when such strange things happen, the Ma family is naturally responsible.
Although the Ma family can ask gods to come forward to deal with powerful demons and monsters.
However, their ability to search for ghosts is not strong, so they often have to join forces with other Taoist factions.
Although the two Taoist priests in front of me were both on the same side, Lin Daojiu seemed to be very slippery. He was the kind of greasy old Taoist priest who lived in the market and knew some evil ways.
The other person, on the other hand, seemed very decent, and his voice was slightly deep and sonorous.
During the conversation, Wu Zhi also knew his name, Liu Zongyuan.
His philosophy was completely different from that of Lin Daojiu. He immediately said: "Evils are crooked and everyone can punish them!"
"Mrs. Ma, don't worry, leave this matter to Pindao."
"Pindao will definitely catch this beast tonight, cut it into eight pieces, and turn it into sewage!"
After Liu Zongyuan finished speaking, Lin Daojiu quickly said: "Hey, why do you have the same virtue as your master?"
"Whether it's catching thieves or monsters, what matters is true evidence. There are good people and bad people, and there are good and bad monsters. You can't kill them all with one shot."
"Yangzhou City is so big, it's normal for there to be a few monsters hiding in the market."
"If you hold a mahogany sword at night and kill everyone you catch, isn't this a sin?"
"According to me, we have to listen to the opinions of the arresters in the yamen, and then use the clues they provide to investigate and take a look."
"At the same time, I have to comfort those poor mothers who have lost their children."
As he spoke, Lin Dao's eyebrows danced with joy, and the expression on his face almost made everyone think about that bad scene.
When a child is lost, you, a seasoned person, don't catch the monster, but go to comfort the mother?
Even Bai Qianqian snorted after hearing this. It was obvious that everyone had a bad impression of the old Taoist priest.
However, Wu Zhi looked at the old Taoist priest with a slightly different look. He immediately said: "I agree with Taoist Master Lin. Demons and ghosts are just like people, with good and bad qualities."
"If you hit someone with a stick, if you encounter a bad person, it will naturally be a great merit."
"But if you accidentally kill a good one, it will inevitably damage your moral character."
As soon as Wu Zhi said this, Lin Daojiu and Liu Zongyuan turned to look at Wu Zhi at the same time.
The two Taoist priests looked at Wu Zhi with twinkling eyes.
Although Wu Zhi is a layman in terms of drawing talismans and catching ghosts, he knows nine out of ten.
