Record of Yin and Yang

"...He said he was sick and came to me for money. I really had no money at the time. I asked him to give me some more time. I went to someone else to lend it back to him. Then after a few days, I My daughter-in-law’s natal family has a small job to recruit people, I thought about doing it for a few days and getting paid, so I hurried over, thinking that I would return the money when I got it, but when I came back, the other person was no longer there.”

Qiu Lixing said it with guilt, as if he really felt it.

Uncle Six mocked: "How do I remember, when Cao Chengye came to your house to ask for money, you kept saying that he was slandering and blackmailing, and you didn't owe him any money at all."

Qiu Lixing's face was flushed red, "It's only two hundred Wen, and what he did is too ugly. It's not like I won't pay it back, so why shout it out so that others will know, what's wrong with my face..."

Uncle Six sneered.

Gu Jiu didn't express his opinion, but raised his chin, motioning for Qiu Lixing to continue.

"Probably because he thinks I deliberately didn't pay him back the money," Qiu Lixing said unreasonably, "After returning home yesterday, Uncle Six said he was dead, so I thought about buying some paper money and burning it in memory of him the next day. But, but..." Then I couldn't stop being terrified, "But when I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw Cao Chengye standing at the head of my bed, staring at me, asking me to pay back the money!"

"Do you remember the exact time?" Gu Jiu said.

"Remember, remember, it was exactly midnight."

Gu Jiu understands that Qiu Lixing usually can't see Cao Chengye, but the time when he opened his eyes is not coincidental, Zishi is the time when yin and yang alternate, when yang energy weakens, and when yin energy is strong, Cao Chengye's soul power is also affected Enhanced, so Qiu Lixing could see him.

Like some children who were prone to seeing ghosts when they were young, Gu Jiu and the others would always confess when they met, and act as if they hadn’t seen it when they saw it. Don’t let the other party know that you can see ghosts, otherwise it will be easy to be haunted by ghosts.

Qiu Lixing did the same thing. He suddenly saw Cao Chengye, and he was startled for a moment, causing Cao Chengye to carve a consciousness in his mind. It turned out that Qiu Lixing could also see him. As long as Cao Chengye wanted to, Qiu Lixing would always see him.

At that time, Qiu Lixing yelled out in fear, which alarmed Mao Juan beside him and the sleeping old lady Qiu next door. The two caught off guard and followed to see the ghost, which also alarmed Cao Chengye, so at night, the three of them saw the ghost together.

After listening, Gu Jiuyi clapped his hands and said, "Then this matter is actually very simple to solve."

Then, under Qiu Lixing's surprised gaze, he said slowly: "Didn't he ask for money? Just pay him back. He has appeared in front of you for three nights. If he wants to harm you, you can still stand here." Find me, a Taoist priest, to catch him?"

"You want to pay back the money?" Mrs. Qiu asked back very unhappy.

A strong displeasure also flashed across Mao Juan's face.

"Otherwise?" Gu Jiu shrugged and spread his hands, "Let him pester you for the rest of your life?"

"Didn't you agree to help us catch ghosts?" Mao Juan said.

"I haven't promised yet." Gu Jiu said, "Even if I promise to help you, I can only give you this way. It's only natural to pay back the debt. I can't force you to pay back the money, and I can't Force him not to want the money. In this world, there is a cycle of cause and effect. The debts of the living are good, but the debts of the dead, called Yin debts, are marks on your soul, and you can't get rid of them. In this life, I will pay it back in the next life.”

Mao Juan and the others didn't pay attention to the deep meaning of Gu Jiu's words at all, they just said incredulously: "According to what you mean, if we want to solve this problem, we have to give you a share of wages first, and then we have to pay that ghost a share." money?"

Gu Jiu smiled and nodded: "That's right."

"You!" Mao Juan pointed at Gu Jiu angrily, "You must have done it on purpose, I had an argument with you before, you are revenge, you black-hearted Taoist priest!"

Shao Yi stared at Mao Juan's fingers, and rubbed the sword hilt with his thumb twice.

Mao Juan's back felt cold, so she quickly retracted her fingers and rubbed them with lingering fear.The look in Shao Yi's eyes just now made her almost think that the other party would pull out his sword and cut off her finger, it was too scary.

Shao Yi curled his lips in disdain, he wouldn't fight with a vulgar woman, and he was holding a mahogany sword, which could kill ghosts but not humans.

Gu Jiu agreed twice perfunctorily, and said to Mao Juan: "If you are black, you can be black. I admit it, and you just ask if you want us to help."

This Mao Juan couldn't decide, and she didn't want to pay for it herself, so she turned to look at Mrs. Qiu.

Old Madam Qiu looked at Gu Jiu with resentment, and said in a bitter tone, "No need, old lady, I told you to go to someone else, just to go to someone else."

Gu Jiu made a gesture of invitation towards the door, and Mrs. Qiu snorted coldly, and walked out without hesitation.Although Mao Juan was reluctant to part with the money, like Qiu Lixing, she still hoped that Gu Jiu and the others would make a move. Otherwise, if she couldn't find anyone else today, she would have to go to hell again tonight.Reluctantly, Mrs. Qiu walked to the courtyard gate and saw that they hadn't gone out yet, and scolded them to come out quickly.At home, Qiu Lixing either listened to his mother or his daughter-in-law, so he could only leave with Mao Juan, who was also reluctant.

As soon as they left, the sixth uncle said in surprise: "They were really haunted by Cao Chengye's ghost."

Gu Jiu said with a smile: "I said it before to scare you, but when you called Min Nier's soul in the pond that evening, Cao Chengye was already by Qiu Lixing's side."

"Oh, that's really scary." The sixth uncle patted his chest and said with emotion: "This is the wrongdoer and the debtor. If Qiu Lixing returns the money to Cao Chengye, Cao Chengye will have money to see a doctor, and maybe he won't die. Then, they won’t turn into ghosts and haunt them.”

Aunt Six was also full of emotions, "So this person really can't do anything wrong, or he will be knocked on the door by a ghost someday."

The old lady and the boy nodded.

The Qiu family didn't want to adopt Gu Jiu's method and didn't need his help, so Gu Jiu really didn't care.The rain had stopped, but the road was still muddy and still could not leave. Gu Jiu let the little paper figurine go out to guard Qiu's house. From the news that the little paper figurine sent back from time to time, he learned that Cao Chengye was still the same, and only knew to follow Qiu Lixing. Make a weak repeater,

But what Gu Jiu found incomprehensible was that the Qiu family was so absurd to a certain extent.They didn't take out the money to settle the debt, not only because they were reluctant to part with the money, but also because they thought Cao Chengye was dead, and even if they gave him the money, he wouldn't be able to use it.They think that the dead should use the money of the dead, and the ghosts use Yin money, so they burned a pile of ghost paper for him, and Cao Chengye took advantage of it.

Then they really went to buy a lot of ghost paper and came back, and burned a lot of it.Of course, when they were doing this, they didn't give up looking for someone who could catch ghosts, but as far as Gu Jiu learned, this family had searched all the witches and half-immortals in the vicinity, and the one with the lowest salary cost one tael of silver. , props and so on have to be prepared by themselves according to the list listed by the other party, and good drinks and drinks are required.

The three of the Qiu family were all stingy, and they were unwilling to pay a hundred pennies, let alone a tael of silver and others, so they turned around and still felt that it was a good deal for Gu Jiu, so they came back to them with the cheek.

"Five hundred Wen." Gu Jiu stretched out a slap to Mao Juan in front of him, and shook her fingers openly, "If you don't have this price, find another expert."

Mao Juan was so angry that her eyeballs almost popped out of her sockets. She didn't sleep much because she saw ghosts, and her whole body was tense to a certain extent. At this moment, her eyes were red as if they were about to bleed, and her face was horrifying.

Gu Jiu didn't hesitate at all, so she slapped her hand and told Mao Juan that without the five hundred wen, nothing would be discussed, and go on to hell, anyway, he is not in a hurry, and he has to hurry up, when the road is dry, they will leave Here, I don't have time to chat with her here.

Mao Juan went back angrily, saying that she would discuss it with her family. According to her stingy temperament, she definitely didn't want to pay the five hundred Wen, but Mrs. Qiu also took money as her life, so the last five hundred Wen How did the two argue? Anyway, when the money was finally handed over to Gu Jiu, Mao Juan looked like she had been cut off.

Gu Jiu reminded, "Remember to prepare two hundred coins, this is the money you pay back to Cao Chengye."

Mao Juan's face was pained again, and the eyes that looked at Gu Jiu were almost sparkling.

"You have to pay back the money." Gu Jiu said, "Are you staring at me? If you stare at me again, be careful that I raise the price."

Mao Juan was so angry that Gu Jiu almost vomited blood, but she could only swallow it, fearing that he would really raise the price, she turned her head angrily, and dared not look at him again.

Gu Jiu hummed a little tune triumphantly, and finally waved her hand generously, "Okay, you go, we'll go there when it gets dark."

When Mao Juan hesitated to leave, Gu Jiu said to Shao Yi: "She still looks like she is afraid that we will take the money and run away, so I will still be greedy for her little money?"

Patting his bulging money bag, Gu Jiu, who is not short of money now, can speak in such a wealthy tone.

Shao Yi's eyes turned up gently, and he liked to see his little complacent expression very much.

To deal with a coward like Cao Chengye, there is no need for Gu Jiu and the others to waste their efforts.

After dark, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi, who had already had dinner, came to Qiu's house.

"Pay back the money."

"Pay back the money."

The lamp was on in the Qiujiatang room, and the three of them shivered and huddled together on a bench. The ghostly Cao Chengye stood beside them, urging them to pay back the money one after another.

Gu Jiudala walked over and sat down on another stool, facing Cao Chengye, he waved to Cao Chengye, "Come on, brother, let's talk for a while."

Cao Chengye's expressionless face was blank for a moment, then he took a few steps back, raised his eyes and looked at Gu Jiu timidly, "You're talking to me, can you see me too?"

"Exactly." Gu Jiu said with a friendly face, and then waved to let all three of the Qiu family go out.

The Qiu family longed to sneak out, but when Gu Jiu didn't come, Cao Chengye would follow them wherever they went, which really made them frightened and powerless.Mao Juan handed the two hundred essays she had prepared to Gu Jiu, and hurriedly ran away.

Cao Chengye didn't go after the Qiu family. He saw Gu Jiu's Yin energy all over his body, and Shao Yi's scorching sharp Yang energy all over his body beside him. The aura of these two people made him afraid. He didn't dare to look at them directly. Rubbing his neck, he looked cowardly as if he wanted to hide himself, "Are you the Taoist priests that the Qiu family called to arrest me? They owe me money, and I, I just want my money back, and I don't want to harm them."

"We know this." Gu Jiu said, "Aren't you going to collect debts? I'm here to help them pay back the money."

Hearing that the Qiu family was willing to pay back the money, Cao Chengye succeeded in collecting the debt, but he looked at a loss, "They are willing to pay back the money."

Gu Jiu nodded.

"...Oh." Cao Chengye didn't see the slightest joy.

Gu Jiu asked: "When I return the money to you, I will send you to reincarnate?"

Cao Chengye was in a daze, nodded for a long time, then shook his head suddenly.
