Record of Yin and Yang

The little ghost had already fled to someone else's house, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi didn't chase after him to find out what happened, they just wrote down this place, they will come over tomorrow to ask about it, and then they went to find the inn.

The two of them got up a little late the next day, and while they were having breakfast in the hall, they asked the waiter about the family from last night, and they specifically saw the plaque on the house, surnamed Lu.

As soon as the waiter heard that they were asking about someone surnamed Lu in the town, he immediately said mysteriously: "Oh, you are asking about Mr. Lu's family, right? His family is the only one surnamed Lu in the town."

"That should be his house." Looking at his expression, Gu Jiu knew that something was going on in Lu's house, and hurriedly said, "It's weird to say, when we came over last night, we heard a little girl singing near his house, but we couldn't see her." people……"

The waiter shrank his neck and whispered: "The customer doesn't know, this Lu's house is haunted by ghosts."

Gu Jiu was surprised: "You mean, that little girl is a ghost?"

The waiter nodded, with a sympathetic face, "The little girl is Master Lu's youngest daughter, and she died at the age of eight this year. Because Master Lu favored sons over daughters, Miss Lu died wronged, so she came back to take revenge. A few days ago, Lu The master's only son was almost strangled to death by Miss Lu!"

"Oh? What do you say?"

The waiter said: "I asked the doctor to look at it. There are blue finger marks on Young Master Lu's neck. The fingerprints are the hands of a child."

"Didn't you invite the Taoist to take a look?" Gu Jiu asked.

"Please, but it's useless." The waiter said, "Although Miss Lu is young, she is very powerful. Master Lu invited several Taoist priests, but she scared them away."

"Scared away? Besides Young Master Lu, she didn't hurt anyone anymore?"

"It seems so." The waiter said, thinking that Miss Lu was quite principled.Seeing that Gu Jiu and Shao Yi were either wearing a compass or carrying a mahogany sword, he had an idea, "The two asked this because they are also Taoist priests?"

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Exactly."

The waiter looked enviously, "The two of you can go to Lu's house to try, anyway, Miss Lu doesn't hurt outsiders, at most she will be frightened twice. Master Lu has been a headache for this matter for a long time, and the reward is quite a lot."

Gu Jiu took out some silver coins and handed them to the waiter, "Thank you for reminding me, brother."

The shop waiter took it, thanked him again and again, seeing that Gu Jiu and the others had nothing else to ask, he left happily

After dinner, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi packed up their belongings and went to Lu's house.

On the way, Gu Jiudao: "If the little ghost in red is really Miss Lu, then her behavior is not like what a ghost can do."

What is a ghost, it is very easy to attack indiscriminately.In the case of Ms. Lu, Taoist priests came to deal with her. According to the way of thinking of ghosts, she should fight back hard, instead of just scaring her and letting her go gently.

Especially in Li Gui, many child ghosts are very difficult to deal with, because they have no sense of right and wrong, and their moral cognition is shallow, which is more difficult to deal with than adults.

Shao Yi agreed, "When she saw us last night, her first reaction was to run away."

Let alone ghosts, they are ordinary ghosts. When seeing a living person who can look at them, the first reaction should be to feel surprised. Although his breath is different from that of Gu Jiu, the other party also escaped too much last night. Quickly, almost disappearing on sight.

He is a very timid ghost who is afraid of seeing people.

Lu's house is not far from here, and the two soon came to the gate of Lu's house.

The door of Lu's house was closed tightly. Gu Jiu stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, an old servant with a haggard face opened the door, "Who are you two?"

Gu Jiudao: "We are wandering Taoist priests. We heard that Master Lu's home was haunted by a ghost, so we came here to ask if we need help."

It's no secret that Lu's house is haunted, everyone in the town knows it, because several Taoist priests were scared away in a row, and everyone knows that the deceased lady in their family is very powerful, and no one dares to come to the house after that.In the past two days, not only their lord and wife have had a headache, but their servants are also terrified, but those who can resign have left.

The old servant's sluggish expression suddenly cheered up, and he didn't ask Gu Jiu and the others if they were really capable, anyway, let's invite people in first.

Gu Jiu and Shao Yi were led to meet Master Lu.

Master Lu's face was thin, because he obviously had a bad time because of the haunting, his expression was tired, and his eyes were slightly blue.He politely invited Gu Jiu and Shao Yi to sit down, and asked someone to serve tea. Knowing that Gu Jiu and the others came to the door on their own initiative, he already understood the matter, so he only briefly talked about it, and finally begged: "Please help me!" Help, send the little girl away, her brother was almost strangled by her, and her mother was also sick in bed because of this, I really can't stand her continuing to make trouble."

Gu Jiu didn't immediately agree, but said: "If there is an effect, there must be a cause. Master Lu, I want to ask, why is Miss Lu so extreme that she even wants to kill her own brother?"

Master Lu sighed and said, "It's my fault that I don't have a flat bowl of water, but how can women and men be the same. Women care for their husbands and children, but men want to start a career. This way of raising children is naturally different. My Lu family is not a poor family. Even if she is biased, she has never lost her food and clothing. She was raised by a rich lady. Moreover, her brother was weak since childhood, and he is the future successor of the Lu family. My mother and I treat her brother a lot. It's right to put in some effort, why would she feel it's unfair?"

"How did Miss Lu die?"

"She was sick." Self-blame and grief flashed across Master Lu's face, "She doesn't resent us for neglecting her and intentionally making herself ill. By the time we find out, the medicine will be useless..."

Shao Yi said: "When Miss Lu went, did you wear red clothes?"

Master Lu was surprised and said, "You two have already seen her?"

Shao Yi nodded.

Gu Jiu was noncommittal. From Master Lu's description, Ms. Lu is a hot-tempered and vexatious Miss Jiao. Such a person seems to be self-centered and domineering, unlike the courageous one they met last night. The little Miss Lu is not the same person at all.

Gu Jiudao: "I heard that Young Master Lu was almost strangled to death by Miss Lu, can you let us see Young Master Lu?"

Master Lu nodded after a moment of hesitation, "Yes."

They went to Master Lu's room.

Master Lu's name is Lu Cheng'an, he is 13 years old, he is already a young man at this age.Because of his frailty, Lu Chengan was very thin, as thin as if he had only a handful of bones in his body. He was lying on the bed with a pale face. In the scorching summer, he was still covered with a quilt. His breathing was weak, and he could hardly see the ups and downs of the quilt.

Gu Jiu and Shao Yi walked to the bed, and when they saw Lu Cheng'an, their expressions changed slightly.

Lu Cheng'an's body has a very thick blood, which adheres to him shallowly. Every time Lu Cheng'an takes a breath, the blood becomes less, and it penetrates into his mouth and nose with his breath.

This is continuing life with blood.

Gu Jiu remained calm, sat down by the bed, felt Lu Chengan's pulse, and observed his face by the way.

Lu Cheng'an has no big bones on his forehead, lacklustre complexion, short-sighted person, and evil moles on his ear bones, these are the faces of premature death.Such a face would not last ten years old, but he is now 13 years old. In the next few years, he could only get it from others, undoubtedly, from the person who continued his life.

Lu Cheng'an continued his life with blood, which was different from the old Taoist who also used blood to continue his life.Although this layer of blood energy is only a shallow layer on Lu Chengan's body, they have always adhered to him and never left. This is because the person who continued his life for Lu Chengan took the initiative to continue his life for Lu Chengan with his own blood.

Gu Jiu put down Lu Chengan's skinny hand, and asked Master Lu, "Master Lu hasn't eaten for a few days?"

Master Lu's expression froze for a moment, and he said, "It's been more than three days."

"Why don't you eat?"

Master Lu said: "I have a sore throat, I can't eat, I can only drink a little water."

Shao Yi lifted Lu Cheng'an's chin to see the wound on his neck.When he saw the injury, he and Gu Jiu both paused, Shao Yi pressed his fingertips on the injury, and his expression became strange.

Gu Jiu seemed to realize something in his eyes. He took out the glutinous rice jar on his body, poured out a small handful of glutinous rice and handed it to the servant next to him, "Wrap it in a cloth, apply it on the fingerprints, and throw it away after it turns black."

"Yes."

The servant took the glutinous rice, quickly found a piece of clean and soft cotton cloth to wrap the glutinous rice, followed the instructions of Gu Jiu, and gently pressed on the fingerprints on Lu Chengan's neck. When he heard the sound of the glutinous rice, he looked in awe endlessly.

Gu Jiu and Master Lu left the room.

Gu Jiu looked at the busy servants in the room, and asked quietly, "Master Lu, you didn't tell us the truth."

Master Lu looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"I just took Master Lu's pulse and saw that although he is weak, he is not so thin." Gu Jiu pointed out, "He hasn't eaten for many days, it's not because his throat hurts and he can't eat, but because he doesn't want to eat. "

"Is that so?" Master Lu looked surprised and unaware.

Gu Jiu smiled faintly, "The fingerprints on Young Master Lu's neck are indeed ghost fingerprints, that's right, we've seen them a lot, and we know exactly how badly a fingerprint hurts, even if it's caused by a person's physique. It's not the same, but it's not much different. The fingerprints on Young Master Lu's neck are only a faint layer, because his skin is too pale, so he looks ferocious, this little injury will not hurt him so much that he can't eat."

Under Master Lu's slightly stiff expression, Gu Jiu added: "The most important thing is that when we checked his wounds just now, his teeth were clenched unconsciously. He was already in a semi-conscious state, but he still acted like this. Movement, it can only be said that this movement is very important to him, it is a subconscious reaction that has been formed in his brain, and it can be transmitted to the body through the brain."

Master Lu was no longer as polite as before, and his face was cold and hard: "Even so, so what? Cheng'an's situation is not important now, what is important is my noisy little girl."

Gu Jiu said slowly: "Master Lu, you may not be clear. We Taoists all have a pair of eyes that are different from yours. In addition to seeing ghosts, we can also see through human life and death. For example, Young Master Lu, normally speaking, he is now It should have been dead long ago..."

In the eyes of Master Lu who finally changed dramatically, Gu Jiu said: "Just now when you said that you were not telling us the truth, it was not about Young Master Lu, but Miss Lu."

"Miss Lu didn't die as ill as you said."

"It's because of continuing the life of Young Master Lu, he lost blood all the year round and weakened his body, and gradually died, right?"
