At midnight, everything is quiet.
Ma Xiaotang set up a table, burned incense and lit candles in the back garden of the mansion.
The auspicious time has arrived.
This is the time of day when the yin energy is at its strongest.
Only then can ghosts and monsters meet the mortals in the world of the sun.
"Tai Shang Laojun, as urgent as the laws and regulations, the heaven and earth are wind, fire and lightning, the universe is raining, snowing and thundering, yin and yang are righteous, draw your sword and show your true body" As soon as the formula came out, a spiritual talisman was attached to the edge of the peach wood sword, and the Qiankun bag on Qingfeng's waist flew upright on the incense table.
After a burst of blue energy, the headless ghost transformed into a human form.
"That's him, that's the monk that day" Ma Xiaotang is eager to save his father, but he doesn't care that he is still a fierce ghost, separated by yin and yang.
Then he asked about the strange thing about his sister who was missing and her father hurriedly asked for someone but brought back a monk.
After hearing this, Li Gui took up the topic.
"My Dharma name is Fu Bao.
I am a monk at the Prayer Temple.
I went to meet a young lady in the city that day.
Just because the young lady's damn coward husband suddenly came back.
I had nowhere to hide.
There was nowhere to hide.
I was in a hurry. , I had to climb over the wall to escape from her yard.
Unexpectedly, the house next door was actually your yard.
In a panic, seeing that there was no one in your bedroom, I sneaked in.
An empty suitcase was just enough to accommodate me.
But not long after, there was a noise and a group of inexplicable people came.
They closed the lid of the suitcase and carried it to someone they didn't know.
Where.
I feel more and more bored, and I have no consciousness."
"But when we found you, why were you not breathing?"
Ma Xiaotang still can't figure it out.
"I was not suffocated to death, but when I woke up I found myself lying in a bed.
The most ridiculous thing is that I was dressed as a woman.
Now I don't understand what happened."
"My father and I thought you were dead at the time.
We were afraid that we couldn't tell clearly, so I came up with an idea.
We said that my sister had died suddenly, and we had to bury you without anyone noticing."
"I was scared to death.
I lay in the mourning hall and secretly escaped from the Ma Mansion in the middle of the night.
A man wearing women's clothes is no longer a monster.
I gave up all the valuable things you left for me.
A piece of silver jewelry was left behind.
At dawn, I was making tofu in a courtyard.
Speaking of which, I was unlucky.
As soon as I took the clothes off the bamboo pole, the old man who got up early to grind tofu saw me stealing clothes and yelled.
His son got up and chased me.
Fortunately, I ran fast and finally got enough clothes to go on the road."
"Then why did you get poisoned later?"
The monk's death was what Ma Xiaotang was most concerned about.
"The word "sex" means a knife on my head.

After I stole the clothes, I originally wanted to go back to the temple.
But the more I thought about it, the more angry I became.
I had gone to the city to have fun, but it was so unlucky.
It was approaching noon, and my stomach was empty and hungry.
Looking for food everywhere, I found a farmer's house and saw a peasant woman at home, so I asked for some food.
After dinner, I was given some home-cooked dishes and some home-brewed rice wine as a reward.
The peasant woman began to put away the dishes, and she looked a bit lewd at that time.
The thought came to my mind, since she is at home alone, she should just have fun with me."
"You are so well-dressed and a beast that you are still a monk in vain."
If it weren't for his father, Ma Xiaotang would have left angrily.
"Who would have thought that I was about to commit murder when a figure flashed behind me.
My soul and body were separated and I was drifting, being chased by the black and white Wu Chang who were lying around."
"It's true that good deeds are rewarded with good deeds and evil deeds are rewarded with evil deeds.
Tried and tested, it always works."
Ma Xiaotang almost clapped her hands and cheered.
Only then did Qingfeng interrupt.
"You don't need to talk about what happened next, so as not to taint Miss Ma's ears again.
So, you really don't know who killed you."
"Master Tian, you have to make the decision for me and find my murderer.
I don't want to be an unknown ghost who doesn't know who killed me after I die."
The fierce soul of the blessed monk showed his ordinary feelings for the first time.
"Don't worry, dust will return to dust.
Dust will return to dust, and the poor Taoist will definitely give you an answer."
After saying that, he turned around and asked Miss Ma to borrow an umbrella.
"The two worlds of yin and yang let me go to the Supreme Laojun, and I am as anxious as the law and order and blessings are possessed."
The spirit-gathering talisman is attached to the head of the oil umbrella, and the blessing monk turns into a puff of blue smoke and gets into the umbrella pole.
The oil umbrella immediately opened on its own and flew in mid-air.
It was like a person nodding and talking, swaying forward and back, making sounds.
"Why does the Heavenly Master want me to attach myself to this oil umbrella?"
Ma Xiaotang also found it strange.
"Yin and yang people and ghosts behave in a way that is bounded by the duty of the Mao sun and star officials.
There are different paths in the Tao.
When people have strong yang during the day, they may harm their Yin souls.
And when ghosts have strong yin at night, they may not be popular.
The poor Taoist will take you through the yin and yang and check your headlessness.
"Gongan, but I can't bear the yang energy to hurt your ghost soul during the day, so I can only use an oil umbrella to gather your soul and block the sun during the day."
"Thank you Heavenly Master for your mercy.
Everything depends on Heavenly Master's orders."
You Umbrella couldn't help but bow his head.
"Little girls also obey the arrangements of the Heavenly Master" Ma Xiaotang is a blessing.
"On this occasion, it is better to find the tofu house first to prove that Fu Bao was still alive when the second young lady died suddenly.
This will clear your father's suspicion of murder.
Try to notify the second young lady to return home again to prove the real reason for leaving home and avoid the conspiracy.
The county magistrate committed adultery and blamed the murdered peasant family to find out the real culprit."
"Tianshi, we are not officials.

We are afraid that Yin County Magistrate will not enforce the law impartially.
After all, he is the local official."
"Huihuitianwang, Zhao Zhaotian will clear the clouds and see the sun.
Without further ado, we will go find the old man from the tofu shop tomorrow."
The next day, it was just dawn, and Qingfeng, who was carrying an oil umbrella, followed Ma Xiaotang and went out early.
You Umbrella led the way and stopped at a tofu shop on the roadside at the entrance of the city.
Through the large window of the tofu shop, the red fire illuminated the face of the old man who was grinding tofu in the shop.
The oil umbrella kept moving.
"Old man, I'm passing through a precious land on my poor road.
I'm thirsty and want to ask for a bowl of water.
I don't know if it's convenient or not.
I'm traveling with a young lady."
Qingfeng bowed.
"Suffering people don't have so many words to say.
Master Taoist and this young lady, please come in quickly.
I'll make you some coarse tea."
"Don't bother, we can just drink a bowl of water.
I want to ask you something, was there a monk passing by here a few days ago?"
"really" Just as the old man was about to speak, he was interrupted by the cough of a young man who had just entered the room.
"My father wants to say that he does pass by the monk often."
The old man's son interjected.
"What about the past few days?"
Ma Xiaotang was a little impatient and grabbed the conversation.
"Not a few days ago" The old man's son seemed to be deliberately avoiding it and denied it.
"This little brother, my name is Ma Xiaotang, and my father is a millionaire in the city.
I encountered a life-threatening situation, so I visited your store.
It is indeed rude to interrupt me suddenly.
If there is anything wrong, just tell me " The old man was a little unhappy, but not towards Ma Xiaotang and Qingfeng.
Strangely, he began to blame his son.
"I'm not that confused yet.
No matter how much I'm afraid of getting into trouble, I still have to be conscientious.
A good man does what he does.
If something goes wrong, I will never involve you."
The young man was honest and did not answer questions.
"father" "Then tell us what happened that day."
Qingfeng helped the old man sit down together.
"That day, I was finishing grinding tofu and wanted to rest in the hospital.
A woman's figure walked into the yard out of nowhere."
"How do you say it's a woman?"
Ma Xiaotang was puzzled.
"Miss, it's like this.
The figure was wearing women's clothes.
I later saw clearly that he was a man.
He was secretly undressing my coarse cloth clothes on the bamboo pole where clothes were hung at my house.
After untying them, he put them on and threw the women's clothes on them.

On the ground.
In desperation, I shouted to catch the thief and chased him."
"Why are you so sure that he is a man and not necessarily a monk?"
"Taoist Master, we can be sure of this.
When we almost caught up, we saw that the thief had a Bodhisattva ring on his bald head."
"I dare to ask my father-in-law, where are the women's clothes that the thief monk still sells?"
Qingfeng didn't expect that the young man answered.
"Taoist Priest, my family has been a loyal family all our lives.
My father was afraid that the clothes were stolen by thieves, and someone would definitely come to claim them in the future, so that others would not misunderstand that we were harboring stolen goods, so he ordered me to lock the clothes in the cabinet.
I will Go get it.”
Ma Xiaotang brought the clothes and unfolded them carefully.
I looked at it, not daring to breathe a word, for fear of missing any details.
"It can't be fake, they are indeed my sister's clothes."
"Isn't your sister the second young lady of the Ma family?
The old man encountered something strange, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not.
Although the second young lady has passed away, I shouldn't disturb the young lady anymore."
Seeing that the old man was worried, Ma Xiaotang encouraged him to tell him everything he knew and comforted him that the second lady's spirit in heaven would forgive him.
"I, Mr.
Zhang, have a relationship with the second lady.
One day, my son and I went to the Ma Mansion to deliver tofu.
It happened to be the birthday of the second lady Ma, so we gave a reward to the servants.
The second lady also gave a reward to the two of us who had just entered the house.
Two days before the second young lady's sudden death, it was dawn, and I got up to grind tofu as usual.
I opened the front door early, and through the firelight in the tofu room, while grinding, I looked at the few pedestrians on the road who were hurrying to their feet from time to time.
A young man and woman supported each other on their way.
The man was in his twenties, and the woman beside him wore a veil, which did not look like a small family.
I was busy stirring the freshly ground bean foam in the big iron pot.
Old man, can you ask me for a bowl of water to have a rest?
The young man bowed to beg for trouble.
Except for the last time when the second lady was so polite and not afraid of your laughter, this is the second time for me, old man.
The young master has insulted the old man.
Come and sit with this young lady in my mill, and I will get water for you two.
I only heard the girl cough slightly, as if to remind the young man, but she didn't say anything.
After the young man finished drinking, he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms.
Father, to be honest, I was entrusted by the second lady of the Ma family to send a young lady to Xinfu County.
However, the mountains are high and the road is far away.
How long will it take to get there?
I heard that my father-in-law has a donkey at home.
This small amount of silver will be used to buy a donkey.
I will raise another one in the future.
Thinking of the second lady's care that day, I immediately asked my son to take out my donkey and feed it with fodder.
After they left, I murmured a few words to my son about why the young lady’s back looked so much like the second young lady.
As soon as I said it, my son scolded me and gave me a bad look.
But who would have thought that such a good person would pass away at such a young age.
It's true that good people don't live long.

When my son came to the city and came back to sue me, I didn't believe it at the time.
Old man Zhang kept feeling sorry.
"Do you think that young man is seven feet tall, has a dignified appearance, has the look of a thin, white-faced scholar, and speaks with a county accent?"
"Miss, you know him" "His name is Luo Lun, and people call him Luo Sheng.
He is an old friend of my sister.
Dad Zhang, you have been a great help to our Ma family.
Please accept the little silver I have today.
I will thank you in the future." ” Ma Xiaotang's words made Old Man Zhang confused.
I just gave him some water and asked him about his whereabouts, so I told him the truth.
I made an excuse and refused to accept the broken silver
