Reborn as the little tail of the cool master

Chapter 40: The Nephew of the Ancient King’s House Disturbed My Dream (1)

Just as they reached the street that led to Wang's residence, the door of the house on the street suddenly opened, and a man was thrown out, shouting angrily: "You fake Taoist priest!"

Pedestrians on the street who were going to the market hurried over to watch the fun, pushing and shoving the two of them. When they arrived at the gate of the Wang family's residence, they saw only mourning flowers and white funeral banners hanging.

Xiao Jingxuan pulled Chu Huaizhou towards him, trying to squeeze out some space for him so that no one could step on him or bump into him.

The old man with a long beard who had just been thrown out, holding a white-haired whisk, argued endlessly with the man who looked like a wealthy businessman with greasy hair and fat ears.

There was a large black burn scar above the cheekbone on the face of the wealthy middle-aged man, which looked fierce and a little scary.

The rich man pointed at his nose and said angrily, "I asked you to perform a ritual yesterday. What did you tell me? You said you would ensure my family would be safe and sound in the future and that no such strange things would happen again. What's going on today?!"

The long-bearded Taoist priest waved his whisk and said calmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang. I did get rid of the evil spirits in your house yesterday. It's definitely not the work of ghosts."

Wang's moustache was shaking with anger, and he flew into a rage: "What do you mean?! Could it be man-made? Can I kill my wife?"

"My wife didn't have any wounds on her body, but when I woke up this morning, her lips were black and her eyes were white. If it wasn't an evil thing that killed her, what else could it be?"

I don’t know if it was Xiao Jingxuan’s illusion, but as soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of him who was pulling his sleeve seemed to tremble.

The onlookers also understood about half of what was said and started to make a noise: "Who knows, maybe the soul will be devoured by wild monsters."

"If not, you can ask another Taoist priest to take another look!"

The Taoist priest with a long beard was about to leave, and before he left, he left a message: "Mr. Wang is not as good as me, please ask the official coroner to take a look."

Xiao Jingxuan looked around the house in front of him. As he said, there was no excessive yin energy. "Uncle Junior Master, why is this?"

Chu Huaizhou shook his head: "I don't know yet. I still have to go in and take a look before I can make a conclusion."

"Forget it! Forget it!" The Mr. Wang dispersed the crowd and was about to call a servant to ask for a coroner when Xiao Jingxuan stepped forward to stop him.

He glared at the man resentfully, then said coldly, "Wait a minute, can you let my uncle take a look at your wife?"

Perhaps because his tone was too unfriendly, Wang Yuanwai did not respond in a positive way: "What are you doing? Who are you? Another one who is swindling people under the name of a Taoist priest?"

Chu Huaizhou had no choice but to step forward and said softly, "Sir, we are disciples of the Biluoyundian Pavilion and we will not deceive you."

After saying that, he took off the Gong Yu from his waist, held it in front of him, and said calmly: "If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this."

He stretched his neck to take a look and immediately knelt down: "Oh! It really is the immortal king of the blue sky and cloud peaks, please save my family, old and young, women and children!"

"No need to kneel, no need to kneel." Chu Huaizhou supported him and said calmly: "Can you take us into the mansion to have a look?"

"Hey, Immortal Lord, please come this way, please come this way." The man was about to grab his wrist, but was stopped by Xiao Jingxuan, who said coldly and unhappily, "Just lead the way."

After entering the gate, there were two straw mats in the courtyard, covered with white cloth. They were the bodies of two people who had died not long ago. A servant came up and lifted up their heads.

Just as he said before, his lips were purple and his eyes were wide open, but there were no pupils. The whites of his eyes were turned up, and there was a sweet smile at the corners of his mouth, without any external injuries or blood.

Xiao Jingxuan half-knelt down and took a closer look. It didn't look like the work of an evil spirit that had sucked all the blood and energy away. "Uncle Junior Master, their deaths were so strange."

When Chu Huaizhou saw this death, his body trembled violently, his light-colored lips became even paler, and his hands in his sleeves clenched into fists.

After getting no response, Xiao Jingxuan stood up and shook his sleeves, "Master Junior, what's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

Chu Huaizhou slowly loosened his lower lip, shook his head and said, "Nothing happened. What did you just say? Are you sure they don't have any external injuries?"

"There are no external injuries. I don't think he ran into a demon or ghost. It's probably not man-made, but more like... a mountain spirit."

After hearing his whole sentence, Wang Yuanwai held back the question "What do you mean?" and said, "Master Xianjun, what should we do?"

Chu Huaizhou's expression became calm and normal. After thinking for a while, he said seriously, "I will ask you a few questions. You must answer me truthfully."

The rich man was already scared out of his wits, so he just nodded and agreed, "Okay, Taoist priest, just ask me, I will tell you everything I know and will not hide anything."

"Are all the dead these days women?"

"No, it was a woman who died last night, and it was a man who died the night before yesterday!"

"Do they have young children, or have they lost a baby?"

"This... the man from the night before was a servant hired by the family. I didn't even know that my wife and concubine both had children."

It turned out that the wife of the first house had given birth to twins, a girl and a boy, but the daughter was born with congenital defects and was too weak, so she died at the age of two.

His concubine had just given birth to a baby boy, who was still breastfeeding.

"Did anything strange happen in the mansion during the past two days? Or, have you often heard strange cries of babies?"

Mr. Wang rubbed the back of his head, looking embarrassed: "This... Taoist priest, isn't it common for a baby born to my concubine to cry?"

Xiao Jingxuan resisted the urge to slap him and said speechlessly, "My uncle-in-law meant, besides this, have you heard any other babies crying?"

"This..." Mr. Wang seemed a little confused, "Don't all babies cry the same 'wa la wa la' sound?"

"Forget it." Chu Huaizhou sighed and glanced at the dead body on the ground. "Send someone to ask if the male servant has a baby at home."

In a short while, a fellow servant from the same hometown came over. Wang Yuanwai shouted, "Answer the Taoist priest's questions in detail, and you will be rewarded when you go down."

"Yes." The servant replied happily, his fear was somewhat suppressed, and he was obviously more positive, "Brother Dazhuang does have a pregnant daughter-in-law at home."

"Two days ago, she told me with a smile that she had received a letter from home saying that she had given birth to a big fat boy."

"After a night, he was grinning again and said that he had a dream at night and heard a crying child, calling him daddy all the time."

"He said that he was in too deep a sleep to answer. He also said that if he dreamed of me again, he would definitely answer me. His wife and children at home might be able to hear him."

"As a result...as a result...as a result, he died in bed the next day."

Xiao Jingxuan already had a vague guess in his mind, and after hearing a few questions, he became more certain: "So he responded to the baby's cry? Junior Master?"

Seeing him looking at him with a look of "seeking praise" and a rather smug look, Chu Huaizhou responded in a low voice, undeniably: "Yeah."

"Oh my!" Wang Yuanwai was startled and suddenly exclaimed, "Now that you mention it, Taoist Priest! I remember it now!"

"Two days ago, my wife also told me that she heard a baby crying at night, and she was calling for her mother. She said it must be her deceased daughter who came to visit her."

"How is this possible?! It's obviously demons and monsters causing trouble!" As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion in the outer hall.

"Master! What should we do? You must save us!"

Xiao Jingxuan moved to his side, "Uncle Junior, was it really done by my nephew? Then when should we take action?"
