"Okay, let's help Mr.
Pei go back to the mourning hall."
When Qi Lu spoke, Ding Xiaolan had already taken out a handkerchief to bandage Pei Liping's wound.
"No," Pei Li said calmly: "Two, let's go to my house and sit down, and I can explain the matter of raising Gu to you in detail." ” "That's good."
Pei Liping first went back to the mourning hall to explain a few words to his relatives who played mahjong, and then hurriedly walked over and invited Qi Lu and the two to his house.
As soon as he entered Pei Liping's house, Ding Xiaolan believed what Qi Lu said, his home was simply spotless, so clean that he thought the owner was a person with a habit of cleanliness.
"Thank you Master Qi for helping me retrieve the treasure Gu, otherwise I'm afraid that tomorrow I will also return to the underworld to see my deceased wife."
As soon as the three of them sat down, Pei Liping hurriedly got up and thanked him again.
"It's a trivial matter, you don't have to be polite."
Pei Liping asked: "My treasure Gu is extremely hidden, even my family doesn't know about it, how can the master find it?"
Qi Lu said lightly: "It's also a coincidence, when I helped you carry the furniture down during the day, I was drilled into my body by this little thing."
"Ah" Pei Liping asked in surprise: "My treasure Gu didn't hurt you, right?"
"It's fine, but it took a lot of work to force it out."
Pei Liping said apologetically: "Alas, it was the misfortune of the family that made me neglect to feed, so that it came out of the bottle to forage everywhere."
Fortunately, it met a master, and if it were someone else, it would have to shed its skin if it didn't die. ” Qi Lu Zhengse said: "I advise Mr.
Pei to take care of this Gu carefully, if it is lost again, it will be extremely harmful." ” "The master's teachings are true, and I must take them to heart."
Pei Liping got up and walked to the left corner of the living room, where there was a refrigerator.
He moved the refrigerator with a little force with both hands, Qi Lu curiously followed over to check, and found that there was a secret door behind the wall, the color was as white as the latex paint on the wall, and ordinary people really couldn't see that there was a secret door if they didn't pay attention.
Pei Liping opened the secret door, and there were two small blue and white porcelain vases several inches long, and after taking them out, he returned to the living room and put the porcelain vases on the coffee table in front of the three of them.
"Wait a minute, you two, I'll solve the food of the treasure Gu first."
Pei Liping said as he pulled out the cork of one of the slightly smaller porcelain bottles with his rich hand.
Under the bright light, a small snake head as bright as silver poked out from the mouth of the bottle, first cautiously stretched out the snake letter to test the surroundings, and then the porcelain bottle shook a little, it drilled out of the mouth of the bottle, and landed firmly on the table.
Ding Xiaolan trembled with fright, and her body unconsciously approached Qi Lu.
She really didn't expect that such a large snake could fit into such a small bottle.
The snake is nearly a meter long, with a pure white head and a black and white ring pattern all over its body.
As its fat body perched on the table, the coffee table became cramped.
Qi Lu patted Ding Xiaolan's fragrant shoulder with his hand, signaling her not to be afraid, and then asked Pei Liping with a smile: "Silver krait" "Hmm."
Pei Liping said in a low voice: "It is not an ordinary silver krait, but a rare species of silver retribution in Yunnan." ” Qi Lu frowned slightly, the silver krait snake was extremely poisonous, and this silver retribution was even more violent, and it could reach the point of seeing blood and sealing its throat.
Anyone who has been bitten by it will die of palpitations due to breathing difficulties in less than a minute, and there is no time to heal, so it is rumored that it is a death messenger sent by God to punish the wicked, so it is called retribution.
At this moment, the silver retribution snake was holding its neck up, except for the snake letter in its mouth, but its body was motionless.
Qi Lu also relaxed when he saw its well-behaved appearance, presumably Pei Liping had cursed it in advance, so the snake would not move.
"Miss Ding, please don't be afraid, it will soon become Bao Gu's belly food."
Pei Liping began to recite the incantation vaguely, and Qi Lu couldn't hear what incantation he was reciting even with his ears pricked up.
The silver retribution seemed to be induced, the snake's head began to swing non-stop, and then suddenly stopped, and the snake's eyes stared at Pei Liping, as if he sensed something.
"Wow" Pei Liping actually spit out a mouthful of filth on the table, and Ding Xiaolan covered her nose in disgust.
The filth actually moved, and finally turned into the golden toad that Ding Xiaolan was familiar with.
As if sensing danger, the silver retribution arched its whole body, staring at the golden toad, and the bright red snake hyacinth rattling.
The golden toad stood upright like a human, its baby-like little hands dancing and golden ripples began to ripple where it stood.
Suddenly, Silver Retribution took the lead in attacking the Golden Toad, and it bit the Golden Toad with its mouth wide open, but the Golden Toad dodged and dodged.
The silver retribution changed its strategy in an instant, and as soon as it rolled its body, it wrapped itself around the golden toad's body and made it unable to move.
The golden toad struggled to its feet, and the snakes and frogs fought each other, and in a moment they rolled down to the wooden floor under the coffee table.
Ding Xiaolan stood up in fright, her body shrunk into a ball, and her hand grabbed Qi Lu's arm.
Qi Lu hugged Ding Xiaolan lightly and said to Pei Liping: "I think your money Gu is no match for this snake." ” Pei Li responded calmly: "The outcome is not yet known, the master may as well wait for the ending." ” Silver Retribution's body became tighter and tighter, and the snake's mouth opened wide again, and the two fangs in its mouth could be clearly seen.
Seeing that the golden toad was about to fall downwind, its body also became elongated, like an ugly baby fish easily burrowed out of the snake's body.
The little pink hands like babies had become sharp claws at some point, and with lightning speed, they used these claws to grasp the seven inches of silver retribution, and the snake's blood poured down the snake's body like a fountain.

The snake's body swung violently, rolling on the ground, but there was no way to shake off the golden toad that was clamping on it.
After holding each other for a few more minutes, the strength of the silver retribution became smaller and smaller, and the golden toad opened its mouth, and in the frog's mouth were actually two rows of fangs as sharp as jagged teeth.
Just when Qi Lu and the others were surprised, the golden toad had already begun to bite the body of the silver retribution, eating the flesh and blood in its mouth while gnawing on it, and even the snake bones were not spared, as if this silver retribution was delicious to it all over the body.
Ding Xiaolan saw the miserable image of the snake's flesh and blood, and her stomach suddenly felt nauseous, and she endured it so that she didn't vomit.
The golden toad finally ate the silver retribution without leaving even a single residue, and its snow-white skin bulged like a round ball.
Only then did Pei Liping smile, he opened another blue and white porcelain vase, and recited a vague incantation in his mouth.
The golden toad turned into a golden smoke and burrowed into the porcelain vase with the sound of the incantation, and Pei Liping immediately stopped chanting the incantation and tightly closed the cork.
Qi Lu said coldly: "Mr.
Pei, feeding a silver retribution every time is really a big deal." ” The master laughed, if it weren't for the sudden changes in the family in the past few days, Bao Gu was hungry and faint, I would not have been willing to feed this rare thing.
I usually feed him turtles, snakes, toads and bats once a week, these things are common, and I didn't have much trouble finding them. ” Qi Lu understood why this money Gu would incarnate into the form of a toad and a snake, it turned out to be related to the living creatures that Pei Liping fed.
These animals are also symbols of wealth and treasure in Chinese tradition, Pei Liping fattened this Gu, and the business was naturally prosperous.
"Mr.
Pei, don't you think Ms.
Su's death is a bit unexpected" After Pei Liping put the porcelain bottle containing Gu back and hid it, Qi Lu finally got to the point.
"Accident" Pei Liping's eyes widened, and then he returned to his senses, and he sighed softly: "It's really unexpected, I can't believe that such a thing could happen." ” "If you have doubts about the cause of your wife's death, it's easy to know the real cause."
It was Ding Xiaolan who spoke, and when she saw that both of them looked at her in surprise, she explained her thoughts in her heart: "Qi Lu and you are both proficient in spells, and Ms.
Su has not passed the first seven, why not summon her soul, or find out the cause of her death."
She had long heard her uncle Chen Jixian say that on the seventh day after death, the soul of the deceased would go home to visit his family once because he was full of nostalgia for life.
On this night, the family will prepare a meal for the soul of the deceased before the soul returns, so that he can set foot on the Huangquan Road and reincarnate again after eating.
When Ding Xiaolan was smug about the good idea she proposed, she found that Qi Lu and Pei Liping were both looking at her with gloomy faces, and she was suddenly shocked in her heart, wondering if I had said the wrong thing.
"Cough" Qi Lu coughed dryly, breaking this embarrassing scene.
"Xiao Ding, do you know why there is a folk custom that when the deceased dies on the fifth or sixth seven-day death day, his family will invite monks or Taoist priests to perform rituals and invite relatives and friends to come and participate in the sacrifice?"
"I don't know."
Ding Xiaolan replied honestly.
"Alas, it seems that you still don't know much about yin and yang."
Qi Lu told her: "This is to prevent the soul of the deceased from encountering an accident during the first seven days and not being able to reincarnate smoothly and make up for the transcendent rituals.
If someone performs the soul restoration technique on a loved one before the first seven, the deceased will be attached to this world, and he will come to his relatives every night instead of returning to the underworld. ” "Isn't this bad?"
Ding Xiaolan didn't realize what was at stake.
Qi Lu said coldly: "This is against the way of heaven, and the ghosts will eventually drive their relatives crazy or drive them to death." ” Pei Liping also interjected beside him and said: "This is just a better ending, because the newborn ghost is like a newborn baby, and he has no resistance to all kinds of evil qi in the world."
Once he is contaminated with an unclean aura during his stay in the sun, the light one will be scattered, and the heavy one will be able to turn into a powerful ghost and harm sentient beings. ” Ding Xiaolan's pretty face suddenly became hot, and she regretted her unscrupulous behavior.
"But you don't have to blame yourself, because we can't bring back Ms.
Su's soul at all."
Qi Lu didn't want to embarrass Ding Xiaolan too much, so he said to her, "Do you remember what I said to you on the first day we came here?"
"What are you talking about" Ding Xiaolan was confused and didn't understand what Qi Lu meant.
"This community is a treasure of feng shui, the qi of Tiangang is extremely strong, if the ghost stays here, it will be beaten to ashes."
Pei Liping let out a long sigh, and he said slowly: "Actually, I have already checked the cause of my wife's death, and the hospital also showed me the video of the day of the incident, no one wanted to harm her at all, and there was no unjust ghost attached to her."
Maybe it's because I'm busy with business and don't care enough about her, which is why I caused such a tragedy. ” "In case Ms.
Su's death is really strange," Ding Xiaolan was still a little unwilling.
"Forget it."
Pei Liping waved his hand and said: "Even though I have a thousand knots in my heart, if I have a quarrel with the hospital on this matter, it will be against the way of a gentleman." ” Even her husband didn't want to delve into it, so Ding Xiaolan naturally had nothing to say.
At this time, she saw Qi Lu stand up and said, "Mr.
Pei, since you have collected the money Gu, you have no worries.
I see that it is too late, and you are still busy with your wife's funeral, so we can't bother, so let's go home and rest first, and come back tomorrow to help. ” Pei Liping thanked Qi Lu again and politely sent them back.
When Pei Liping opened the door, Qi Lu inadvertently saw an unsealed carton next to the bookcase, with several eye-catching bold characters on it: compound codeine syrup.
The medicine box was empty, there were no medicine bottles, and Su Ling must have already drunk the potion inside.

Qi Lu's lips moved, and he suddenly wanted to ask about the codeine syrup potion, but in the end, he forced this thought to the bottom of his heart and didn't say it. i0 t1706231537:
