Xie Jianhuan has lived for 21 years, and has never encountered such a suffocating situation.

Although he has always been aware of how strong his feelings for Shen Budu are in his heart, he never expected to react in such a situation, and he was even taken seriously by the other party...

He opened his mouth in vain, but couldn't explain a word, Xie Jianhuan thought desperately, would he be regarded as a pervert by Master?

Finally, Shen Budu spoke first.

"After losing so much blood, you can still be so energetic." Shen Budu looked away and commented calmly, "The physique is good."

Xie Jianhuan: "..."

He was ashamed to death, his expressionless face turned red, he pulled the quilt to cover himself tightly, desperately recited the mantra in his heart, so he didn't pay attention to the slightly red ear tips behind Shen Budu's calm surface.

"Go to sleep." Shen Budu coughed, "The injury on your back is too serious to lie down, I will help you lie down."

Xie Jianhuan nodded indiscriminately, not daring to look up at him at all, just as Shen Budu was about to stretch out his hand, he suddenly remembered something: "...or wait a little longer?"

Xie Jianhuan didn't react, only heard Shen Budu holding back a smile and asking: "If you lie down now, will it hit the bed?"

Xie Jianhuan: "..."

He blushed as if he was going to explode the next moment.

Shen Budu finally let out a wanton laugh. Seeing that his apprentice wanted to dig into the ground, he forced his conscience to realize that he stopped laughing and explained to the other party seriously: "Young man has a good physique, strong firepower, and is normal."

Then I went around the room, moved a soft couch for one person to lie on and put it beside the bed, helped Xie Jianhuan to lie down again: "Go to sleep. I'll be right next to you, call me when you feel uncomfortable."

Seemingly knowing that Xie Jianhuan was embarrassed, Shen Budu didn't say anything more, went to extinguish the candle on the table, put on his clothes and lay down on the soft couch, and closed his eyes.

Xie Jianhuan's cheeks were still a little hot. Looking at the figure lying on his side not far away in the dark, he thought messily in his mind: Does Master really have no doubts?Did he really not see the strangeness in him, or...

A thought that he couldn't even believe came up slowly, Xie Jianhuan's chest was pounding, but he didn't dare to think about it deeply, and he didn't dare to hope that he would have such good luck.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, the pain from the wound was unbearable, and the sequelae of excessive blood loss occurred slowly.

-

The next day, Lin Shijue came to change Xie Jianhuan's dressing on time, and once again lamented the speed of his healing: "Change the dressing on time, rest in bed more, and don't strenuously exercise to drag the wound. It will be almost healed in less than half a month."

Xie Jianhuan thanked him earnestly, but Shen Budu noticed that the complexion of this genius doctor Lin was a little pale: "Did you not rest last night?"

"I haven't slept all night." Lin Shijue touched his big dark circles, "Master Xu's illness broke out again, and he disappeared in the middle of the night. When Xu's servants found him, they found him lying by the lake. fall in."

Shen Budu Nahan: "What kind of disease is this?"

"I haven't been able to find out yet." Lin Shijue sighed heavily when he said this, "Master Xu found me not long ago and said that he has been having heart palpitations for no reason recently, and that he seems to be under a heavy weight when he dreams at night, making him difficult to breathe and covered in cold sweat. .and even sleepwalking at times, waking up with no memory of where I was.”

"According to medical theory, this should have been caused by excess of heart and liver fire, stagnant heat in the triple energizer, or overwork, and deficiency of both the heart and spleen, but I checked his physical condition, and there are no such underlying diseases." Lin Shijue frowned and murmured , "This symptom seems normal, but I always feel that something is wrong..."

Shen Budu is a mediocre in medicine, even a genius doctor can't understand it, so naturally he can't help if he wants to.At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the house, there was the sound of flower pots being broken, and the servants couldn't help but exclaimed: "Master!"

With a "bang", the door of the room was suddenly knocked open, and a middle-aged man in a fancy dress staggered in, his eyes were tightly closed, as if he was in a dream.

Lin Shijue stood up immediately: "He fell asleep again?"

The servant of Xu's house who followed closely said with a bitter face: "Yes. I was still sane this morning, but I suddenly had an attack just now..."

Lin Shijue frowned, and wanted to step forward to check the situation, but saw Shen Budu standing up, reaching out his hand to stop him.

He turned his head and saw the other person's face, slightly startled: "Mr. Shen, what's wrong?"

This Young Master Shen Du has a gentle temperament, and since we met, he always has a three-point smile on his face, but at this time, he is so cold and serious that it makes people afraid.

"He has a ghost about him."

Lin Shijue was taken aback for a moment, feeling numb all over his body: "...What!?"

spooky! ?

This word is no stranger, even once it is mentioned, it will make people feel chills from the soles of their feet, but the ghost clan was clearly defeated four years ago, and the whole clan retreated back to the Netherworld, vowing never to set foot on human territory again.In the past four years, Xiujie has indeed completely disappeared from the ghost clan, how could it be possible to suddenly appear here?

He suspected that Mr. Shen had made a mistake.

Shen Budu strode forward, carefully observing Xu Caishun's face.The middle-aged man's eyes were closed tightly, cold sweat slowly broke out on his forehead, and his skin was a little pale. If you look carefully, you will find that there is a greenish color in the whiteness, which looks like a dead person's ashes.

He is all too familiar with the breath of the ghost clan.Six years ago, he had fought countless times with the ghost clan. No matter how well he pretended on the surface, he would never admit to the coldness, corruption, and despair emanating from the depths of his soul.

Back then, he put Qiankun on the ghost king's neck and forced him to swear by a drop of blood that he would never set foot on human territory again in this life.After the oath comes into force, there are rules of heaven and earth to testify, and if you violate it, you will be punished by heaven. Even if the ghost king is unwilling to make a comeback, I believe he would not dare to provoke the way of heaven so blatantly.

Moreover, although this Landlord Xu has a ghostly aura, he is a genuine human being, not a ghost in human skin.

Where did this cold ghostly aura come from?

Shen Budu circled around Xu Caishun, stopped when he walked behind him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly stretched out his hand, tearing Xu Caishun's back robe.

Xu's servants were taken aback, and immediately stepped forward and scolded: "What are you doing——"

However, when he approached and saw Xu Caishun's bare back, he suddenly froze.

On the back of Landlord Xu, there was a huge cyan ghost head tattooed.The big copper bell eyes, the bared mouth, and the hideous expression are very vivid, and every detail is lifelike.

It's not the worst.

The most frightening thing was that the cyan grimace seemed to sense that someone was watching, the eyeballs in the sockets suddenly turned twice strangely, and the wide mouth slowly grinned to the ears, showing them a smile.

-

After being slapped on the forehead by Shen Budu, Xu Caishun was completely awake.When asked about the cyan ghost head on his back, Xu Caishun looked a little mysterious, waved all the servants away, and then opened his mouth quite proudly.

"I told you because you are friends of Miracle Doctor Lin, don't spread the word." Xu Caishun said, "The one who stabbed me in the back is a 'wealthy ghost'."

Lin Shijue: "What is this?"

"It can be understood as a talisman, which has the effect of increasing wealth and blessing." Xu Caishun looked at the expressions of the three young people, "Don't believe it, this thing is amazing! I thought it was a lie at first, but since After stabbing this ghost, my business has become more and more prosperous, and I have earned more money in a few months than in the past three years!"

He said happily, proud of his secret of getting rich.

"You know it's a ghost's head and you dare to stab it?" Shen Budu raised his eyes lightly, "Don't you know that if you borrow a debt from Yin, you have to pay it back with Yangshou?"

This sentence made both Xu Caishun and Lin Shijue stunned.The former was suddenly aroused with goosebumps, rubbed his arms and said, "You...what are you talking about! Don't scare me, this is a good thing, a 'money-making ghost'..."

"This is not a money-making ghost, but a life-killing ghost." Shen Budu said coldly, "Have you lured the ghost to your body for so long, didn't you realize it?"

Xu Caishun subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly remembered that he had suffered from heart palpitations, sleepwalking, suffocation during sleep and other symptoms during this period of time. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly broke out in cold sweat: "You...you mean..."

The landlord stuttered in fright, or Lin Shijue immediately asked the following words: "So the symptoms of Master Xu are not sick, but ghosts are at work?"

Shen Budu nodded, and asked Xu Caishun: "Who stabbed you with the ghost head on your back?"

Seeing the other party's expression of hesitation, Shen Budu sneered: "Looks like Landlord Xu is determined to take money rather than life."

"No...I'm dying, of course I'm dying! I beg this gentleman to help me!" Xu Caishun is not fake, but he is not stupid. He knows that money is useless without his life, so he immediately explained everything, "What happened?" That’s right. In Puzhou, there is a tradition of tattooing on the body, because it is said that it can help people get rich and protect people’s safety, and those patterns such as dragons and tigers are very domineering, so many people will try it.”

"I didn't believe in it at first. But about four or five months ago, an old friend recommended me a talisman master. He said that he was very good. Since he got a ghost head tattooed on his body, he immediately changed his luck. I got a lot of money. I was a little tempted when I heard it, and I thought that I would have nothing to lose if I tried it. Who knew that I would get a big deal the next day after the tattoo was done, and it will be like a lot of money in the future!"

Speaking of this, Xu Caishun was still very excited: "I later recommended this talisman master to my father-in-law, and he changed his luck after that! See, it can't be a coincidence every time, right?"

Shen Budu glanced at him, and said calmly: "Of course it's not a coincidence. It's a ghostly skill, it's not difficult to help you make a little money."

"But they are greedy and never do reciprocal transactions. It is still light to take your life, and I am afraid that they will swallow your soul and keep you in the dark world for life and death, and you will never be reborn forever."

Xu Caishun shivered, his face turned green with fright: "Then, what should I do?"

Shen Budu asked: "Who is the Talisman you mentioned?"

"No, I don't know the name." Xu Caishun said, "He is wearing a black cloak, so I can't see what he looks like. But the voice is a young man with very white hands..."

Because of tattooing with a needle, the talismanist will inevitably show his hands.The skin on that hand was extremely delicate, whiter than a woman's, and every piece of nail was clean, looking tenderer than fresh onions.

When Xu Caishun saw these hands at the time, he felt inexplicably that this person's face must not be bad.

Shen Budu: "Can you still find him?"

"No. 20 of every month, he will come to Puzhou, and he will be tattooed in the Mingyue Tower by the Luoyan Lake." Xu Caishun said, "There are too many people looking for him, and they can't be ranked."

Shen Budu nodded and said he understood.

Xu Caishun came to his senses and hurriedly said, "You haven't told me what to do yet!"

"Eat well, build up your strength, don't let that ghost take away your home." Shen Budu's tone became cold, "Persist until NO.20, I'll go see that talisman master."
