"Hey, this shouldn't be the Xiao family, it should be the Cui family."

The sky was dark, and the three of them walked in the courtyard, looking extremely depressed.Compared with last time, today's courtyard is much deserted, and even some of the maids I saw last time are gone.

Hearing the Taoist priest's words suddenly, Chu Han, who was walking in the front, stopped for a moment and turned back to look at him.

"What do you know?"

The cold wind was blowing the crimson robe of the man, watching Chu Han approaching step by step, he felt the other party's eyes that seemed to be able to see through him, and the Taoist subconsciously took a step back.

"Xiaodao...Xiaodao also...that's all he knows."

"While this seat is still in a good mood, you'd better tell this seat everything you know. Otherwise..."

After all, he has lived for 8000 years, and whether this person is lying or not, he can tell at a glance.

Still wanting to play tricks in front of him, Chu Han narrowed his eyes slightly, took two quick steps, and pinched Xiaodao's neck, "What are you running for?"

"I say I say."

Only then did Chu Han let go of the person in satisfaction, and stood aside with his arms folded.

"Tell me, how do you know this is not Xiao's house?"

Hearing the sound, Shen Qing also walked over slowly, the trail might be afraid of Chu Han, she rubbed her hands tremblingly, and moved towards Shen Qing's direction.Chu Han frowned, and raised his hand to grab him, but the Taoist priest was very slippery, and hid directly behind Shen Qing.

With such a rush, Chu Han rushed directly in front of Shen Qing.

He looked up at Shen Qing's clear eyes, gritted his teeth, "Will you get out of the way."

Chu Han saw that the other party's cold face did not change, and thought that he would be a hard character, but after pulling his deep eyes from Chu Han's body, he turned his body slightly.

The path had no support, and was caught by Chu Han in an instant.

"Let go first, let go first, the little one just say it, just say it."

Seeing his hopeless appearance, Chu Leng snorted, "If you dare to play tricks, I will burn you to ashes right now."

When Chu Han said this, a trace of flame popped out from his slender and fair fingers, and the Taoist priest turned pale and waved his hands again and again, "Don't, don't, you have something to say."

"Say it."

"If Xiaodao remembers correctly, Xiaodao was here ten years ago."

He frowned slightly, as if he was thinking, before he spoke slowly, "Ten years ago, this was not Xiao's house but Cui's house. Xiaodao remembered that there was a fire in Cui's house at that time, and the master of Cui's family called Xiaodao over to help Her daughter does things."

"But Cui Ling?"

"Exactly."

The Taoist looked around the courtyard and pointed in a direction for Chu Han and the others, "It seemed to be in the small courtyard over there."

Chu Han and Shen Qing glanced at it, and found that the courtyard pointed by the Taoist priest was the one they went to a few days ago, and according to the reconstruction of the incident, Chu Han could already confirm that the courtyard was where Cui Ling lived. Wrong.

Standing aside, Shen Qing seemed to have thought of something, and asked the Taoist priest, "Did you find anything about the ritual?"

"Everything is normal in the law... No, there is one thing."

"what's up?"

The Taoist thought about it carefully for a while, and the scene when we met that day appeared in his mind again...

******

Cui's family ten years ago

"Daoist, come."

Outside the mourning hall, Cui Fang, the Patriarch of the Cui family, raised his hand and waved to the young Taoist who was performing rituals in the house.

The employer spent a lot of money, and the young Taoist priest, who had just entered the trip, put down the magic weapon in his heart with suspicion, and followed Cui Fang to the yard.

"Daoist, you come with me."

The Patriarch of the Cui family took him to a courtyard. The courtyard was in a mess, and the traces left by the fire were very obvious.All the roof tiles of the house were burned to ashes, and even the bluestone path in the courtyard became black and uneven.

After walking two steps forward, a burned tree in the courtyard attracted the attention of the young Taoist priest.

The branches of the tree were not completely burned off, but were maintained in an extremely distorted posture, like a dancer posing, showing terrifying teeth and claws.

Seeing the young Taoist's gaze lingering on it, Cui Fang had nothing to hide, and immediately said to the young Taoist: "This is where the fire started."

The young Taoist turned his gaze back and looked around the yard, feeling very puzzled.

It's not that he hasn't seen the scene after a fire, but it's the first time he's seen a scene like this in the end.

How big of a fire is it that can burn this place into such a state?

"Patriarch, you invited me here, it is..."

Cui Fang looked at the young Taoist priest but heaved a long sigh, "To tell you the truth, I want the Taoist priest to recall his soul."

"spiritualism?"

Although it is not uncommon to call out souls before, in the eyes of the young Taoist priest, there is a very strange color in this matter, so he can't help but ask, "Dare to ask who is recruiting?"

"My daughter."

******

Hearing what the Taoist said, Chu Han shook his head, "There is no way to summon a soul."

"No, there is a soul."

"how is this possible?"

Chu Han suddenly raised his head, stared at the Taoist priest and said again, "Do you know what kind of fire that burned the Cui family?"

Seeing that the Taoist priest had no words, Chu Han said again, "That's the red lotus karmic fire from the ghost world. If a god burns his body, let alone a mortal who has not practiced, his soul may have already been reduced to ashes."

"It turns out that it was Honglian Yehuo that burned the yard. No wonder, no wonder."

Shen Qing looked at his thoughtful appearance, and said slowly: "Go on."

The Taoist nodded, "We do this business to deal with ghosts and summon souls. I agreed without thinking about it. I prepared all the things I needed to prepare and told the Patriarch of the Cui family that the summoning of ghosts will take place in three days. It will be held later, that night, I thought everything would go well, but unexpectedly..."

******

Cui's family three years ago

"Daozhang, can you recruit me?"

The most taboo thing for a young Taoist priest to start a business is that others say he is not capable.

According to the rules, today is the seventh day of that Miss Cui's family, and it is very easy to summon the soul, but just as Cui Fang said, he failed to summon the soul.

He couldn't put the business in his hands when he opened his business, so he took out his housekeeping skills to recruit this soul.

This time, he really invited him.

There was a strong wind outside the window, and even the window lattice was slammed.

I thought that when Cui Fang asked him to summon the soul, he must have been prepared, but when he turned his head away, he saw Cui Fang, and panic appeared on his face.

The faint young Taoist priest seemed to have sensed that something was wrong.

"Did you hide something from me?"

"I……"

Words are truest when people are in extreme fear.

The young Taoist heard Cui Fang say in grief and anger: "I have been haunted by a ghost. Since she died, I have been dreaming every night. She blames me and why I opposed her in the first place."

"I'm really annoyed by her, that's why...that's why Daoist..."

"Confused, really confused!"

The young Taoist frowned instantly, "The grieving ghost can't be recruited, can't be recruited! I'm really going to be killed by you!"

The sound of the windows being slapped became louder and louder, and suddenly there was a 'bang', and the closed door was suddenly opened, and a gust of cold wind swept over from the outside of the yard, blowing out the candles in the house.

The room was instantly plunged into darkness, and pale moonlight slanted in from outside the door, shining in front of the two of them.

"coming."

"Daozhang, do you want to send her back...I... don't want to see her..."

Looking at the grasped arm, the young Taoist shook his hand away instantly, "It's too late."

"Since you're here, why don't you show up and see?"

"Jie Jie..."

The neck felt chilly in an instant, and under the pale moonlight outside the courtyard, there was a figure standing.

"This matter started because of you, you go."

******

At this point in the story, the Taoist's words stopped abruptly.

But Chu Han and Shen Qing had roughly guessed the ending.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "So, you recruited a ghost?"

"Yes."

Chu Han sneered, "I didn't realize that you were so courageous in the first place."

"It was a newborn calf at that time, so there was nothing to be afraid of."

Chu Han snorted, and looked at him with contempt, "That is to say, you really saw Cui Ling's soul."

Seeing the Taoist nodded, Chu Han just frowned.

"The soul of the red lotus fire will not stay, but why, Cui Ling's soul has not dissipated, but turned into a ghost?"

"Book."

Suddenly, a deep voice suddenly sounded beside him.

Although the voice was soft, it made Chu Han's heart suddenly open.

"Yes, it's a book."

Shen Qing nodded, "Although I don't know how Cui Ling learned the red lotus fire, but you should know how the fire will affect the caster of this spell."

"If the burner is the caster, he will temper his own body. But this fire comes from the ghost world after all, and Cui Ling is a mortal body in a world, so it is normal to turn into a ghost."

Speaking of this, Chu Han seemed to have thought of something, and grinned at the old Taoist, "I always feel that you are hiding something from us."

"In front of the two gods, how dare I."

"you're lying."

This time, there was a hint of coldness in his deep voice, and he stared at the Taoist priest with a coldness in his eyes.

"Why did you appear outside Aunt Wang's house today?"

The Taoist scratched his head and said with a hey smile, "It's not that I'm afraid that what happened back then will cause disaster, so I came to have a look."

Shen Qing didn't answer the words, and took two steps towards him, "Then why did you lie before, saying that you came after a wave of devilish energy?"

"It's not that I don't know the identities of the two adults."

The snow-colored robe fluttered like a butterfly in the wind, and the chill in his eyes was like the white snow on the top of the mountain. He approached step by step, even the words in his mouth were pressing closer. .

In the end, he stopped, shook his head with compassion in his eyes.

"Until now, you've been lying."
