Becoming a Demon [Comprehensive]

The old Taoist pondered for a moment, and then said: "The peach blossom array is naturally used to attract peach blossoms, but there are good and bad peach blossoms. If it is good to attract the good peach blossoms of the female son, I am afraid that it will attract rotten peach blossoms. If it’s not done well, it will delay Mrs. Shen’s life when the rotten peach blossoms are corrected.”

Master Shen was very convinced when he heard what the old Taoist said. At least the old Taoist's tone was completely on his side. After analyzing the pros and cons, he didn't just talk about the good side, so that Master Shen no longer doubted him.

People are like this, once you trust a person, it is difficult to become suspicious. At this time, Master Shen's thinking is completely following the old Taoist priest's way, not to mention doubting, he is completely offering an offering to a god.

"I'll leave this matter to the old gods." Master Shen only had one thought, no matter what kind of peach blossoms, let his daughter stay first. As for the peach blossoms that will be attracted, isn't there a ready-made expert?He didn't believe that this peach blossom was so powerful that it could escape the eyes of the old fairy!

The old Taoist didn't expect Master Shen to agree so neatly, and he didn't know that Master Shen had already considered keeping him to help his daughter identify rotten peach blossoms.

The old Taoist was a little happy that the trip went so smoothly, and he wasn't talking nonsense. Although he concealed some aspects, he didn't hide anything about the Peach Blossom Pillow.This was also a defensive move by the old Taoist, to prevent Master Shen from asking the expert about the consequences of the peach blossom formation, and it is not a secret.

When Mr. Shen asked him to stay, the old Taoist declined politely: "The poor Taoist still needs to continue to tour the four directions, and he can't stay in Yangzhou. If the young master has good news, he can naturally ask an expert to help check it."

When Master Shen heard it, he didn't force it, and said: "Then please ask the old god to set up the formation first."

After finishing speaking, Master Shen called out for someone, and immediately someone came in and took Master Shen and the old Taoist priest to Shen Hanqing's residence.

It happened that Shen Hanqing was resting in the boudoir. When she heard the movement outside, she lowered her head and saw Master Shen, the old Taoist priest and a group of servant girls standing outside her yard below.

The best one in Shen's mansion is the Yunling Courtyard where Shen Hanqing lives. It can be said that this is the center of Shen's mansion, surrounded by rockery and surrounded by lake water.There is also a pavilion in the courtyard, which is the highest one in Shen's mansion, where one can overlook the beautiful scenery in the distance.

Outside the courtyard, there are many flowers blooming like a brocade, and the bright red crabapple flowers form a fan-shaped sea of ​​flowers, and the courtyard is where the fans are superimposed.

After Shen Hanqing came back, she kept sulking. She kicked out the people in the yard and assigned them all tasks. Be sure to find out what Master Shen and the old Taoist had said.What she didn't expect was that not long after the person was sent out, this master Shen led the stinky Taoist priests to surround her yard.

If she hadn't been sure that the old Taoist hadn't seen through her real body, she would have panicked right now.

Cautiously hiding behind the window, Shen Hanqing checked the movement below through the crack of the window.

Seeing that the old Taoist didn't know what to say, Master Shen led the people back a few steps, and then the old Taoist wandered around the yard.

Shen Hanqing gritted her teeth, what is this smelly Taoist going to do?

After the old Taoist circled around the yard, he quickly made a move. He took out a lot of things and a stack of talismans.He threw it into the sky, and as if the dozen or so talismans were divinely assisted, the talisman papers flew straight up and stopped in the midair of the courtyard, forming a patterned shape.

Then the runes on the talisman shone with golden light, and began to rotate around the courtyard at an increasing speed, and soon it became dazzling. After a while, the talisman formed a transparent cover, covering the entire courtyard like an upside-down bowl.

The cover disappeared as soon as it hit the ground, and the talisman disappeared without a trace.

Master Shen was both happy and sad, "Is it okay for the old god to be like this?"

The old Taoist said: "As long as the son-in-law lives here for a month, peach blossoms will be attracted."

Master Shen was overjoyed, and hurriedly called the servant, "Hurry up, serve the old god on a good table."

Then the butler came forward with the plate, and Master Shen lifted the red cloth on the plate, revealing ten golden ingots.

"This is 100 taels of gold, please accept it with a smile."

100 taels of gold is equivalent to 1000 taels of silver, and the old Taoist did not expect Master Shen to be so generous.

but……

"The poor Taoist is here to repay his kindness this time, how can he accept Master Shen's money?" The old Taoist seemed to be insulted, his beard cocked up angrily.

Master Shen was in awe, "The old god is really high-spirited and upright. He treats gold and silver like dung. It's my fault. I used these stupid things to dirty the eyes of the old god. How about this..." Master Shen hooked his fingers, and the steward Wang next to him came up. Previous step.

Master Shen said: "Go and prepare some clean Taoist robes and dry food for the old god."

Butler Wang nodded in agreement.

The corner of the old Taoist's mouth twitched when he heard this.

Master Shen said happily: "Old Immortal, please don't worry, as long as you always walk in the Jiangnan generation, I, Shen Manor, will definitely provide you with food and clothing all the way."

Shen Hanqing in the attic began to sympathize with this old Taoist priest. In this world, face is important, even if you ask for money, you will refuse it. You come and I go back and forth like this before pretending to be reluctant to accept it.

It's all tricks!

Judging from Shen Hanqing's eyes, the old Taoist may not want to accept the gold, but Master Shen didn't follow the routine. Looking at the old Taoist's aggrieved expression, Shen Hanqing felt relieved.

The Shen family is capable of keeping the old Taoist priests in the south of the Yangtze River without worrying about food and clothing.It's just how much can an old Taoist eat and use?Maybe even one-tenth of the 100 taels of gold can't be used up. Master Shen is really used to doing business, and he sees it as a dish.

Soon the people outside the yard dispersed, Shen Hanqing went downstairs, quietly ran out of the yard, and walked around the yard.

After discovering the formation formed by the old Taoist priest in this courtyard, Shen Hanqing's face immediately turned cold.

She didn't care about him yet, she didn't expect this old Taoist priest to be so unreasonable that he dared to break ground when he was too old.

Although Shen Hanqing is a little demon just born, somehow she seems to have Su Hui. Although she doesn't understand some common sense, she still understands most of it.

For example, although she can't recognize this formation, she can calculate the effect of this formation to a great extent.

Shen Hanqing felt a little disgusted. Although this formation seemed to be used to attract peach blossoms, the old Taoist priest added private ingredients to it, adding someone's hair and blood.

Any woman who lives in this formation for a period of time will have no regrets for the owner of the hair and blood, and it will be subtle. As time goes on, the relationship will become deeper and deeper, so that the outside world will not see the change at all.

This kind of method is really hateful, and it has completely deviated from the righteous way!

In a fit of rage, Shen Hanqing called Steward Wang over.

"Go and ask the servant to arrest that old Taoist priest!" If you dare to do such a thing, you must have the courage to bear the consequences!

Steward Wang hesitated, "This..." He had no idea why the little lady did this!

"Why, what I said doesn't work?" Shen Han glanced over with sharp eyes.

Steward Wang's body immediately felt as if he had been scratched by a sharp knife, his scalp tightened, thinking that the lady really deserved to be the kind of master, she usually looks soft, but when it comes to critical moments, she still has the demeanor of her master.

Steward Wang was a little excited. With a lady like this, the Shen family could be passed on. Even if there is no young master, so what, the lady can be the master of the house.

For generations of slaves of the Shen family like them, who have always been attached to the Shen family, they are naturally strong if the Shen family is strong, and if the Shen family continues to be lonely, they may not be able to get any better.

"Yes!" Steward Wang immediately recruited a hundred servants to gear up and prepare to arrest him.

Shen Hanqing didn't know that she accidentally lost her temper, which made the housekeeper think of supporting her.

Shen Hanqing recruited a few maids around her to invite her father over.

Hongliu reported what she had heard before.

It was only then that Shen Hanqing knew that Master Shen agreed to set up the peach blossom array of feelings. She thought that the old Taoist priest had lied to him, but she didn't expect him to be the one who cheated her!

Even so, Shen Hanqing was not too angry with Master Shen. After all, he didn't understand this profession, and everything was the fault of that stinky Taoist priest. If he hadn't made up a lie, her father would not have agreed to set up a formation in her yard, let alone I won't let the Taoist priest steal away to do something.

Shen Hanqing gave the order, and the whole Shen residence turned into motion.

Master Shen came in sweaty, "Daughter, that old fairy has great skills, how can you catch him?"

Shen Hanqing didn't answer him, but instead asked Steward Wang who came in behind Master Shen, "Where's the person?"

Steward Wang wiped his sweat, and said in a low voice, "Go back to your wife, let the master let you go."

Shen Hanqing's sharp eyes shot, and Master Shen couldn't help shrinking his neck, "Daughter, you sent someone to arrest the old fairy, isn't this just nonsense?"

With a livid face, Shen Hanqing asked, "Father, which side are you on?"

Master Shen stiffened his neck and replied: "Of course I'm on your side! But daughter, you can do whatever you want at home, but I decided not to allow you to move, that old fairy!" He opened his hand immediately after finishing speaking. , the whole person blocked the door like a wall, as if preventing people from entering or exiting.

Shen Hanqing rolled her eyes and said, "Daddy, do you know that I was almost killed by you?"

Master Shen raised his head, "Daughter, you hurt your father and me by saying that. Is it easy for me to pull you up? I still want to hear your accusations now?" Master Shen said so far Wipe away a handful of bitter tears.

Shen Hanqing knew that Master Shen would never back down if he didn't speak clearly, so he asked everyone in the room to back down first, and gave Butler Wang a wink by the way.

Butler Wang expressed his understanding and left.

Soon there were only Master Shen and Shen Hanqing left in the room.Master Shen had serious eyes, Shen Hanqing took a step forward, helped him to sit down, and then sat beside him.

"Daddy, did you let that old Taoist set up a formation in my yard?"

Master Shen looked left and right with a guilty conscience, but he didn't dare to look at his daughter.

Shen Hanqing sighed, "Father, you have been deceived, it is a very vicious formation!"

Master Shen immediately stood up in shock, "Impossible, the old god said it was used to attract peach blossoms..."

Shen Hanqing also stood up and sat down Master Shen again.

"Father, listen to me, if you want to attract peach blossoms, you can just bring a peach blossom talisman, there is no need for an overqualified person to set up any formation."

Master Shen still didn't believe it, and asked, "You don't understand these things, how do you know?"

Shen Hanqing smiled and replied: "Father, it's not like you don't know that I like to read some miscellaneous books. There are thousands of books in our bookstore, and there will always be some related to Feng Shui formations. I understand a little bit. "This is the reason she gave herself, and it also paves the way for her understanding of magic.

Master Shen was dubious, "Then tell me what's the problem?"

Shen Hanqing said confidently: "Father, think about it for no reason, how could a Taoist priest suddenly come to the door, and in the name of repaying his kindness, he first exorcised evil spirits from the family, and then said that I have an extraordinary background, and claimed that my family helped me lure the peach blossoms to stay in the mortal world." , if you think about it carefully, you will know how unreliable it is."

Master Shen calmed down after being splashed with cold water, "Tell me what's wrong with this formation?"

Shen Hanqing slapped the table and said excitedly: "The problem is serious, dad, do you know that? The Taoist actually performed a sorcery and mixed other people's hair and blood into the formation. As long as I am in this formation After staying for a long time, the owner of the blood hair will appear in front of me, and I will fall in love with him with all my heart, this is really an evil spell!"

Master Shen looked at Shen Hanqing fixedly, his tone was a little cold, "Who are you?"

"You are definitely not my daughter. My daughter is well-behaved and weak. She definitely doesn't know how to play well." Master Shen said in a tired tone as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

Shen Hanqing's body froze, it's too bad, he showed his flaws!

Master Shen looked at Shen Hanqing as if he was looking at a stranger. He was sure that this was his daughter, but he didn't know who the soul in this body was?

Shen Hanqing's eyes couldn't stop turning, trying to find an excuse to get back.

Master Shen continued: "I still don't understand my daughter. She has a weak temper and can only cling to others like a dodder flower. She relies on me now and her husband-in-law in the future. She will never suddenly become tough and take The analysis of things is clear and logical, and what she likes to read on weekdays are scripts, Fengshui miscellaneous books and the like, she doesn't even touch..."

Master Shen talked more and more, and the fog of these days gradually dissipated, "Son, although I don't know where you come from, I know that you have no ill will towards me or the Shen family. Although my daughter is not up to date, but After all, she is my daughter..." In the past, when his daughter saw him, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he hated her for not being able to stand up, but after all, she was his only flesh and blood, the daughter he had always held in his hands.

"Can you tell me...she really..." Master Shen choked up. The harmonious relationship between father and daughter these days is like a dream. Blessed to the heart, found that this is not his daughter.

Up to now, Shen Hanqing knew that she couldn't hide it, so she said apologetically, "Master Shen, I'm sorry, I'm not your daughter." She still underestimated human beings, or to be precise, a father. It is difficult for a parent who loves his child not to recognize his child.

Even if you can deceive for a while, you can't deceive the whole life.

Shen Hanqing simply put the matter out, "I was originally a crabapple flower, and I was transformed into a spirit by the blood and tears of Mrs. Shen before she died. Because I owe Mrs. Shen the grace of good fortune, I will bring Mrs. Shen's soul back to the same place from the future. Years ago, that is now... When I just came back, because Mrs. Shen's future soul repelled the soul of this time and space, Mrs. Shen's soul was separated from her body and locked away by the underworld. I can't just watch Mrs. Shen's body being lost. The soul dies, so it enters the body to replace it."

Knowing that his daughter was gone, Master Shen was heartbroken, but when he heard the news again, he pulled himself together and asked, "My daughter will die in a year? What about me? Why didn't I hire a famous doctor in a year's time?"

Shen Hanqing shook his head, "I don't know much. I only opened my spirit during that time, and I only heard some things intermittently. You had passed away at that time, and it is said that you were killed. The Shen family was controlled by a bad person, and Mrs. Shen was also arrested. Trapped in the courtyard and unable to leave, even when she was sick, no one asked for a doctor. Her last wish before she died was to return to this time, so that you can survive and prevent the Shen family's property from falling into the hands of thieves."

Master Shen held back his anger and wanted to vent it, but he didn't know who to vent it to, so he asked some more things, and Shen Hanqing told everything he knew.

Not long after, Steward Wang hurried in, Master Shen suppressed the anger on his face and asked him what's the matter?

Steward Wang glanced at Shen Hanqing, and Shen Hanqing rubbed his nose. He had exposed his old background, how could he occupy the magpie's nest and order the housekeeper of Shen's house?

Master Shen pretended not to have seen this scene, and asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter, can't you say it in front of me?"

Steward Wang immediately stood up straight, and said obediently, "Master, I took my servants to chase after the old Taoist priest, but the old Taoist priest left Yangzhou by boat directly out of the city."

"Okay, I see!" Master Shen glanced at Shen Hanqing, then frowned and waved his hand to make Steward Wang back down.

Shen Hanqing immediately said: "Father...Shen, Master Shen, I think this old Taoist priest is very suspicious, someone should have sent him here. Originally, I wanted to catch him for interrogation, but I never thought of letting him run away."

Master Shen's spirit was down, his head was downcast, and his eyes were full of sadness. His daughter was gone, and he was so distressed.

After a long time, Master Shen put away the sadness in his heart. Fortunately, God has a good eye, took one of his daughters and gave him back another.Master Shen cheered up, compared to this matter, Shen's residence is still facing greater difficulties.From the little flower demon's words, it can be seen that Shen's residence is indeed being watched by people, first killing him, and then taking control of his daughter to achieve the goal of controlling the Shen's property.It's just that they are knowing each other's secrets, and they don't know who is behind the planning of Shen's wealth?

Master Shen thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, don't call me Master Shen anymore. Since you live in place of my daughter, you will be my daughter from now on. By the way, what was your name before?" ?”

Shen Hanqing's mind was blank, his eyes were dull, his voice was a little mechanical, and he said, "Shen Luo, my name is Shen Luo."

Master Shen clapped his hands together, "Good name, in ancient times there was the god of Luo in the water, and now there is the god of Luo in the flower, which is all over the country!"

Shen Hanqing came back to her senses, completely unaware of what happened just now.

"From now on, your name will be Shen Luo, the second young lady of the Shen residence." Master Shen directly made a decision.

Shen Luo agreed.

But this is just a discussion between the two, Shen Luo is still called Shen Hanqing to the outside world, and the name Shen Luo is just to distinguish it from Shen Hanqing, and Master Shen does not want his daughter to have her name taken by someone in the end.

Shen Luo bowed to Master Shen, "Yes, Daddy." This bow officially stated that the two became father and daughter again.

Master Shen calmed down a worry, and when he learned that his daughter's body had only one year to live, he asked nervously, "You won't pass away next year, right?"

Shen Luo shook her head, "Don't worry, Mrs. Shen, no, it's my sister's soul that has returned to the underworld, and this body has no owner. With my spiritual nourishment, it can survive for a few more years."

Master Shen felt uncomfortable. After dawdling for a while, he asked, "I don't know...can you leave me a grandson?"

Shen Luo froze for a moment, his face quickly turned red, and he stumbled and said, "This... this..."

Master Shen also knew it was too abrupt, he rubbed his head and laughed, waved his hand and said: "This is not urgent, not urgent, we will talk about this later."

Shen Luo blushed and hid in the house.

Master Shen yelled twice and didn't stop anyone, so he knew that the "new" girl was shy, so she smacked her lips, this shell has changed, so it should still be usable.It doesn't matter if she is a ghost or a demon, as long as she bears a grandson for him, he will recognize her as his daughter!

After talking, Shen Luo didn't hide her character anymore. Although Master Shen was sad that he lost his daughter, he couldn't say it out after all.As time passed, with Shen Luo's company, he also gradually walked out of the shadow of being lonely. The most important thing is that Shen Luo accepted him and would not let his incense die.

Master Shen is happy now, and he can concentrate on investigating his enemies.

This matter had to start with Zhang Maochun, mainly because Shen Luo knew that the blood hair used by the old Taoist came from Zhang Maochun.

Shen Luo originally wanted to arrest Zhang Maochun and interrogate him directly, but was stopped by Master Shen, "You can't startle the snake, Zhang Maochun is still useful."

Shen Luo could only press it down and not mention it, the worst thing was meeting this person in the garden from time to time, but every time he acted surprised, as if he really met by chance.

This home cannot be stayed any longer!

It just so happened that the Qiqiao Festival was here, and Shen Luo took the servant girl out of the city directly to Daming Temple to relax.

To say that Shen Luo is also very courageous, she is a little monster who dared to run to the important place of the Buddhist family, isn't she afraid that the eminent monk will take her down in front of the Buddha?

However, ever since he asked Master Shen, Shen Luo was not afraid at all.Because Master Shen told her that there are really no high-level people in Yangzhou Mansion, and he has never heard of high-level monks who are good at catching monsters, so the two split up, probably because the times have changed too much, and many exclusive secrets have been lost.

For example, the last time he did good deeds, he was already considered a top-notch one. He had practiced all his life, and he had just started to learn mana, so even Shen Luo couldn't stand it.

The most important thing is that the spiritual power in this world is too thin, so thin that Shen Luo can't absorb the spiritual power, so he needs to consume his own spiritual power to keep his body running.

As for why she has so much spiritual power, this is another unsolved mystery.

When they arrived at Daming Temple, Shen Luo maintained the attitude of a woman and got out of the carriage. Because there were too many people in the group, part of the group was assigned to pull the carriage to another place for guarding.

Shen Luo was supported by Qing He to the gate of the temple, before stepping in, the eyes of a pair of stone lions at the gate flickered at the next moment, and a golden light shone over and bounced Shen Luo away.

"Miss, are you alright?" Seeing Shen Luo stepping back suddenly, Qing He hurriedly supported her.

"It's okay." Shen Luo squinted his eyes, knowing that mortals would not be able to see the golden light, so he straightened his sleeves, retracted his breath into his dantian, and entered again.

The pair of stone lions must have been enlightened by the incense all the year round, but there is nothing to fear, she was just unprepared just now, this time she restrained her breath and entered safely.

It was very lively outside the temple that day, people who set up stalls in nearby villages or cities, and monks from the temple directly set up divination stalls outside.There are many people outside, and there are also many people in the temple. There are women from the city and village women and girls from the countryside. Today is the Qiqiao Festival, so naturally most of the women come to worship Buddha.

Shen Luo followed Daliu to worship Buddha, donated money for sesame oil, and then took the maids around.

Hearing that there are relics in the Qiling Pagoda, Shen Luo took the maids to observe it. It was she who was skilled and bold, and walked along the Slender West Lake to the Qiling Pagoda.

But before he had gone far, he saw chaos ahead.

Shen Luo took a few steps back, and the maids immediately surrounded her, and the servants who followed from afar saw Shen Luo stop, and rushed over immediately.

Seeing the melee in front of her, Shen Luo sent her servants to check. Unexpectedly, this check involved her in a strange incident.
