Facing Jin An's words, the eldest lady was silent.
Seeing the eldest lady’s reaction.
Jin An knew that his suspicion had come true.
It seems that the father of this ghost child is the God of Five Powers.
Jin An and the old Taoist priest looked at each other and instantly understood the shock in each other's eyes.
Wutongshen.
Five brothers.
The relationship between Mr. He and Aunt He is quite messy.
Then here comes the problem.
If this ghost fetus can really be born, whose father among the five brothers is the child?
Jin An thought of another thing. The Wutong God had been killed by him, so could he be considered the murderer of Mr. He and his father-in-law?
"..."
Thinking of this, Jin An couldn't help but look at the eldest lady sitting opposite in surprise.
Today's eldest lady may be dressed in a hurry and a little more plainly because she is in a hurry. She casually ties her hair in a married woman's bun, revealing her slender neck. The two strands of hair on her cheeks are lazily brushing her face, adding a bit of water. Tender, lazy and mature style.
The eldest lady has not put on makeup today, her broad robe touches the ground, and her clothes reflect the flowers. Today, the eldest lady, who wears plain makeup, has a clear face, white shirt, and a gentle jade-like temperament dyed with blue silk and ink.
She looks like a tender and graceful woman who is ten years younger than usual.
Jin An thought, the third lady of the He family is in her late teens this year, and the eldest lady should be in her forties this year, right? It's just that the eldest lady has taken good care of herself, her figure is still tall and graceful, her hair is as black as clouds, and her skin is as white as snow, so she doesn't look older.
Then the age of the eldest lady’s aunt should be...
The eldest lady seemed to notice Jin An's gaze and looked at Jin An suspiciously.
Ahem.
Jin An changed the topic: "Madam, Master He is fifty years old now, so Master He's elder brother should be sixty, right?"
"Then Mr. He's aunt is already in her fifties, and the Tiankui has closed, so she is no longer able to conceive and give birth... Old man, can a woman be pregnant with a ghost fetus even if the Tiankui has closed?"
The first few words of Jin An were addressed to the eldest lady, and the last words were addressed to the old Taoist priest sitting next to him.
Guard Li: "?"
Li Huwei looked shocked and looked at Jin An inexplicably.
A servant of He Mansion: "?"
He quickly lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything. He did not dare to speculate on the true age of the eldest lady. At the same time, he kept complaining in his heart, Taoist Jin'an, you are trying to harm me.
The more I, a servant, know about my master, the more I fear my head will become hung around my neck.
Madam: "!"
The eldest lady squinted her eyes and glared at Jin An.
The one who got tricked the most this time was the old Taoist priest. He looked at Jin An with a grimace, and then secretly glanced at the eldest lady, whose face was getting worse and worse. There seemed to be a layer of frost brewing on her face. The old Taoist priest Now it is wrong to answer yes, and it is wrong to answer no.
The old Taoist priest was in a dilemma, muttering to himself, little brother, you have dug a fire pit for me to jump into. Fortunately, at this moment, the eldest lady spoke: "My master's uncle is the descendant of Xianxian. Mr. Zhang is just thirty this year." .”
As for whether Guan Tiankui, a woman at fifty, could still be pregnant, Jin An was unable to get the answer from the old Taoist priest in the end, because the eldest lady began to ask the servant of the He family to tell the whole story.
The servant of the He family was called Zhao San, and he was one of the nursing homes arranged by the He family in the ancestral home.
Mr. He's aunt's name is Zhang Xiangyun.
Following the unfortunate incident that happened to Mr. He's aunt Zhang Xiangyun, Mr. He and his aunt were all driven back to their ancestral home in the countryside. Soon, Mr. He divorced his first wife and drove out of the He family's ancestral home. go out.
Later, Zhang Xiangyun was taken back by her mother's family.
Speaking of which, the He family's ancestral home, the He family, Mr. He, uncle He, and Zhang Xiangyun were all from Lingqian Township.
After Mr. He made a fortune in business, Mr. He, the uncle, could be regarded as an old man eating young grass. How could he, who had been widowed in his early years, resist the temptation of sugar-coated bullets? After repeated sugar-coated bullets, he later became a Zhang Xiangyun, who is 30 years younger than him, is having sex again.
After Zhang Xiangyun was kicked out of the He family's ancestral home, he has been crazy and completely crazy.
However, the eldest lady was kind-hearted and saw that Zhang Xiangyun was crazy and had received his due retribution. She did not do anything wrong and did not let the He family publicize Zhang Xiangyun's misdeeds everywhere.
After all, no matter how this matter is said, it is still a big stain on the He family. Therefore, divorcing his wife and driving Zhang Xiangyun out of the ancestral home were all done in a low-key manner. Even sending Zhang Xiangyun back to the Zhang family was done secretly at night. of.
As for Zhang Xiangyun's natal family, they will not go around talking about their daughter. Do you think there are not enough scandals in the family? Isn’t it embarrassing enough?
Moreover, the Zhang family did not dare to offend the wealthy He family.
The Zhang family was originally just an ordinary family in Qianling Township.
If their daughter hadn't been secretly moving the He family's wealth to her parents' house in the past few years after she married into the He family, the Zhang family would not have prospered and would not have become the second largest family in Qianling Township after the He family.
In recent years, the Zhang family has often been like rats eating into the He family's granary.
After her own daughter committed such an act of persuasion, the He family did not go to the Zhang family to recover the property they had moved from the He family. It was already considered the eldest lady's benevolence and failure to do the right thing.
Since He's family took the initiative to hide what their daughter had done, the Zhang family was naturally happy with this ending.
Therefore, under the low-key handling of the two families, no one knew the real reason why Zhang Xiangyun was divorced except for discussions and speculations after dinner.
Let’s continue talking about Zhang Xiangyun.
After she was divorced and returned to Zhangjia Dazhuangzi, the first month was normal.
Although people are crazy.
But he never did anything out of the ordinary.
He has been locked up in Dazhuangzi by the Zhang family and is not allowed to go out.
But all this peace was broken a month later after Zhang Xiangyun was sent back to the countryside.
The Zhang family discovered that Zhang Xiangyun's belly started to grow bigger day by day.
The Zhang family asked the doctor to take a pulse, which was said to be a happy pulse. Zhang Xiangyun was pregnant, and she was pregnant with a child. Judging from the enlarged belly, she was already four or five months pregnant.
When the Zhang family learned about this, they were all ecstatic, thinking that the child Zhang Xiangyun was carrying was from the He family, and they all felt that there was hope for the Zhang family to join the He family again.
So the Zhang family quickly sent several men to talk to the He family about the fate of the child in Zhang Xiangyun's belly.
As a result, the Zhang family happily went to find the He family. Not long after, they were beaten back by the He family with bruises and swollen faces.
It turned out that Mr. He's uncle had been busy with business out of town and had not been home for half a year. The child in Zhang Xiangyun's belly was definitely not from the He family.
Mr. He's uncle originally had a lot of complaints against the Zhang family. This time, the Zhang family actually took the initiative to bring a pot to their door without opening it. He just mentioned a wild child and said that he was the son of the He family, so Mr. He and his uncle were blamed. He was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was driven out.
Seeing that the He family refused to admit that the child in Zhang Xiangyun's belly belonged to the He family, the Zhang family did not dare to argue with the He family again, nor did they dare to mention this matter again.
At that time, the He family had not yet suspected that what Zhang Xiangyun was carrying was actually the ghost fetus left by the five Wutongshen brothers.
I just thought that Zhang Xiangyun was a free-spirited man, and had already cheated on him long before he invited Wutongshen to come in. Hongxing had gone out to steal the man.
In fact, what Zhang Xiangyun was carrying was indeed the ghost fetus of the five brothers of Wutong Shen.
This ghost fetus is different from a normal fetus and can be born without having to be pregnant for ten months.
It doesn’t even take six months to be born.
People often say that when you are pregnant with Liujia, Liujia is the yang god. If the fetus is born prematurely before the age of six months, it will definitely be a dead baby and cannot be fed.
Therefore, those born before six months are either stillborn babies or ghost fetuses.
The reason why Zhang Xiangyun's belly grew so fast was because of the evil in her belly. One month of pregnancy is equivalent to five months of pregnancy for a normal person, and three to five months of pregnancy is equivalent to ten months of pregnancy for normal people.
But at that time, no one connected Zhang Xiangyun's pregnancy with the sinister obscenity. After all, this kind of thing was too unbelievable and could not be thought of normally.
After the Zhang family suffered a loss in the He family, they could only lock up Zhang Xiangyun and continue to raise him at home.
Because the Zhang family still wanted to give birth to the child, if the child was really the son of the He family, there was still a possibility of returning to the He family, so they kept raising Zhang Xiangyun.
But the Zhang family soon realized something was wrong with Zhang Xiangyun.
Zhang Xiangyun's belly grew too fast.
Less than ten days have passed and my belly is as big as six months pregnant.
At the same time, Zhang Xiangyun was getting older and thinner.
Until one night, about twenty days ago, it was raining heavily. Zhang Xiangyun, who was crazy, somehow escaped from the locked room.
She actually ate all the food stored in the kitchen by herself.
Not only that, he also bit all the live chickens in the chicken pen to death and swallowed them alive.
His face was covered with blood, and he had bloody chicken in his mouth.
The bloody scenes and the strong smell of blood at that time frightened several servants who discovered Zhang Xiangyun, and they all said that Zhang Xiangyun was evil.
This is strange to say.
After pregnancy, people are getting older and older. Zhang Xiangyun, who was emaciated, has become young again after eating so many poultry raw that night.
But at that time, the Zhang family didn't think much about it. They just thought that Zhang Xiangyun was suffering from madness. He was hungry and ran out to find food.
But then, strange things happened one after another.
Zhang Xiangyun can sneak out of the room every night.
At first, he still ate his own chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs.
Slowly, she began to eat the neighbor's chickens and ducks.
The Zhang family also knew about this, but they were helpless. They also tried to tie Zhang Xiangyun with a chain as thick as the child's arm, but within a few days, Zhang Xiangyun actually bit off such a thick chain and ran out.
Moreover, Zhang Xiangyun's appetite became more and more weird. He would eat food from living people and then vomit it again. Eventually, no matter how hungry he was, he would no longer eat food cooked on fire and would only steal blood food.
If she is not fed blood food, she will become sluggish during the day and look as old as an old lady.
At night, they will cry like ghosts, howl like wolves, and yell like crazy.
Once she was fed raw meat and blood, the person became quiet again.
The servants of the Zhang family may not know the reason why Zhang Xiangyun went crazy, but Zhang Xiangyun's family members all know why Zhang Xiangyun became crazy. The Zhang family also began to be frightened by Zhang Xiangyun's abnormal behavior. They all said that Zhang Xiangyun was possessed by an evil spirit. They thought that Zhang Xiangyun had been possessed by Zhang Xiangyun before, so they followed Zhang Xiangyun back to Qianling Township. They refused to let Zhang Xiangyun go and continued to possess Zhang Xiangyun.
The Zhang family was scared and wanted to ask the He family for help, but this time the He family wouldn't let anyone in at all.
The Zhang family can be considered as doing evil on their own, and they have themselves to blame.
Seeing that there was no hope of asking for help from the He family, they began to look for solutions with a frown. Someone suggested that Zhang Xiangyun should be sent away and thrown away somewhere far away. This was called trouble moving eastward.
Some people also suggest asking Taoist priests, goddesses, and gentlemen to exorcise evil spirits.
After all, Zhang Xiangyun is the biological daughter of the old man of the Zhang family. She is not willing to watch her daughter suffer, but she does nothing to save her, so she starts looking for Taoist priests, monks, goddesses, gentlemen...
I don't know if it was because of the Zhang family's disapproval or because Zhang Xiangyun had so much resentment in his belly that he made such a fuss that even several country goddesses who were called in for three or four days had no effect at all.
On the contrary, as time dragged on, Zhang Xiangyun's belly began to grow bigger and bigger.
No matter how people shut it down or lock it up, it can never be locked up.
All methods have been tried.
But Zhang Xiangyun still couldn't be contained.
As his belly grew bigger, Zhang Xiangyun's strength seemed to increase.
At the same time, more and more chickens and ducks were being eaten in the countryside. At first, the villagers thought that weasels or wild wolves were entering their homes to eat them.
Until later.
These villagers stood by and caught Zhang Xiangyun, who looked as old as a cat-faced old lady, and went into other people's yards in the middle of the night to steal poultry.
This is a big deal in Qianling Township.
Fortunately, the Zhang family was willing to come forward to compensate, and everyone knew that Zhang Xiangyun of the Zhang family was a lunatic, so the Zhang Xiangyun's evil story was concealed by the Zhang family.
The Zhang family continued to find experts to exorcise Zhang Xiangyun.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiangyun only ate poultry secretly. No matter how hungry or irritable he was, he never hurt anyone.
So this is why the Zhang family is willing to continue to find experts to exorcise Zhang Xiangyun.
But about four or five days ago, someone in the village discovered a detail. Dozens of people in the Zhang family's village had not been out for several days.
When Youxiang Yong went to Zhangjia's Dazhuangzi to check the situation, he found that he had searched all over the Zhangjia but could not find anyone.
Not to mention the Zhang family, even the servants in Dazhuangzi have disappeared one by one. When I asked these servants about their family members in Qianling Township, they all said they had never returned home.
People often say that you need to see people when you are alive, and you need to see corpses when you die, but dozens of members of the Zhang family suddenly disappeared. Not a single living person was seen, and not a single dead person was seen.
Especially in the next few days, the villagers were even more horrified to discover that pregnant women in Qianling Township began to give birth prematurely one after another, and each time they gave birth to a premature baby, they were stillborn.
Over the past few days, more than a dozen pregnant women have given birth to stillborn babies prematurely, causing dozens of families to fall into grief.
Moreover, in the home of every pregnant woman who had a premature stillbirth, the window sill was pushed open on the night before the premature delivery, and someone dug into the window sill and left shoe prints on the home.
The shoe print was not that of a man, but that of a woman's little foot.
A series of early stillbirths occurred one after another. People in the village began to panic and everyone was in danger. Any family with a pregnant woman at home began to nail the doors and windows and take strict precautions to protect the pregnant woman.
But it still didn't work.
The man fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up the next day, he saw a big hole in the roof tiles of his home, and someone came directly in through the roof at night.
Not long after, the pregnant woman at home began to have stomachaches and gave birth prematurely to a stillborn fetus that was no longer alive.
This incident resulted in more and more lives, and more and more families fell into grief. Later, even the government offices were alerted, and the government offices kept watch for several nights to no avail. Pregnant women still gave birth to stillbirths every day in the countryside.
The entire Qianling Township has become panic-stricken. All families with pregnant women have dragged their families and fled out of Qianling Township.
No pregnant woman dares to stay in Qianling Township anymore.
The government office saw that several vigils were in vain, and they never caught who sneaked into the pregnant woman's home to harm others. They didn't even know if it was a person or something unclean that was causing trouble, so they sent someone to the government office in Fucheng to ask for reinforcements.
Ask the government to send out government experts or invite eminent monks from Bailong Temple to save Qianling Township.
Zhao San continued.
Why did everyone later suspect that Zhang Xiangyun was pregnant with a ghost?
It turned out that on the second day after the Yamen sent people to move reinforcements to Fucheng, a group of outsiders came to Qianling Township. The group of outsiders claimed to be antique dealers and came to Qianling Township to collect some antiques.
"Antique dealer?"
"Antique dealer!"
The old Taoist priest and Jin An both looked at Zhao San in surprise.
"Are they really claiming to be antique dealers?"
Jin An asked Zhao San solemnly.
Although Zhao San didn't know why the two Taoist priests in front of him looked very surprised when they heard the names of the group of antique dealers, he still nodded and said that they were indeed antique dealers.
When they received Zhao San's affirmative answer, Jin An and the old Taoist priest looked at each other, with solemnity and doubt in their eyes. Had the group of antique dealers been to Hehe Village, killed Mr. Yin Yang, and taken away the dragon-slaying knife? Antique dealer?
At this time, even the eldest lady looked over with curious eyes and asked Jin An what was going on?
Do you know this group of antique dealers?
Jin An shook his head and did not explain too much, but asked Zhao San to continue.
This time, the look on his face was much more solemn, and he was no longer as relaxed as before like an outsider. He began to pay attention to every detail that Zhao San talked about about the group of antique dealers.
Zhao San continued.
That group of antique dealers came to Qianling Township to collect antiques, but at that time the villagers were so panicked that they were not in the mood to do business.
Even seeing these outsiders, he turned his anger on these outsiders and wanted to drive these antique dealers out.
But instead of being angry, the group of antique dealers asked the villagers if they had encountered any difficulties. They traveled all year round and encountered some strange things. Maybe they could find a solution.
The villagers were also sick and sought medical treatment in a hurry. When they heard what the antique dealers said, they all complained about the strange things that had happened in Qianling Township recently.
At the same time, some villagers expressed their deepest suspicions, wondering whether it was the crazy pregnant woman from the Zhang family who came out to steal the child in the middle of the night?
The strangest thing about Qianling Township is the Zhang family, where dozens of members of the family disappeared overnight.
Crazy woman? The group of antique dealers immediately asked what was going on. After hearing about the strange things happening in the Zhang family and Zhang Xiangyun's strange behavior, the group of antique dealers immediately went to the Zhang family.
As a result, as soon as they arrived at the Zhang family, someone among the antique dealers said that the Zhang family had a strong yin energy. Later, they followed the lead and found the ancestral home of the He family.
That group of antique dealers came to the He family three days ago. The old man of the He family told the group all the truth, including the fact that Zhang, because he hated the eldest lady, asked the Wutong God to harm the eldest lady but failed, but was backlashed, and had sex with the obscene priest. Those absurd and lewd things about Wutong Shen.
The old man Zhao San mentioned was He Gui's old father.
The old man is weak and should not be tired of traveling. He also misses his old feelings and wants to return to his roots. Therefore, he has stayed in his ancestral home in the countryside and has not moved to Fucheng.
After hearing this, the group of antique dealers said that this time around the stillbirth of pregnant women in Qianling Township, it was most likely that what Zhang Xiangyun was carrying was not a normal fetus, but a ghost fetus.
Ghost fetuses are the most ferocious, and they like to eat blood to nourish and grow.
At first only regular poultry was eaten.
Later, the ghost fetuses grow bigger and bigger, and their appetite becomes bigger and bigger. Ordinary poultry can no longer satisfy the ghost fetuses' appetite, so they will eat people instead.
When they are no longer satisfied with cannibalism, they will begin to control the mother's body, secretly sneaking into the homes of other pregnant women after dark, and stealing the fetal energy of other pregnant women and the three souls and seven souls of their fetuses.
And once this pregnant woman moves her fetus, there is only one ending: stillbirth.
And when it really reaches the stage of eating pregnant women and children, the ghost fetus is almost finished growing and will be born soon.
Speaking of these horrifying words, even a bloody man like Zhao San was so frightened during the day that he took several deep breaths. After calming down, he swallowed his saliva and continued talking.
The group of antique dealers looked well-informed and seemed to be people of great ability.
The old man of the He family trusted this group of antique dealers.
Therefore, the old man of the He family wanted to avoid future troubles for the He family forever, so that Zhang Xiangyun would not continue to stalk the He family and the eldest lady.
So I wanted to ask that group of antique dealers to exorcise evil spirits for the He family and the folks in Qianling Township, so as to ensure the peace of the land and water.
The resulting expenses were covered by the He family.
That group of antique dealers had the trust of Mr. He's family. Faced with Mr. He's entreaty, this group of antique dealers actually agreed to stay and find the missing Zhang Xiangyun, so as to avoid future troubles for the He family.
But the old man of the He family is not completely senile yet.
This old man did not completely trust the group of antique dealers who suddenly appeared. He understood that one basket could not hold all the eggs.
When he learned that the crisis in Qianling Township also involved Zhang Xiangyun and Wutong Shengui Fei, the old man of the He family immediately ordered people to come to Fucheng to inform the eldest lady of the news and asked the eldest lady to ask experts to save the ancestral home of the He family and save the former family. The people of Lingxiang are in dire straits.
At this time, the tall lady sitting in the upper position turned to look at Jin An and the old Taoist priest.
"Taoist Master Jin'an and Taoist Chen, this is why I found the two Taoist priests today. Although the Yamen in charge of Qianling Township has sent people to Fucheng to request reinforcements, I still want to implore the two Taoist priests to take action again this time. Help my He family once."
"I have received news that people from Qianling Township worked hard all the way to the government office yesterday. The government office has also persuaded Bailong Temple. People from Bailong Temple and government office rushed to Qianling yesterday. Township."
Jin An looked surprised when he heard this.
It's the government office again.
It was the eminent monk from Bailong Temple who took action again.
It’s that group of antique dealers with mysterious origins who didn’t know whether they were the ones who killed Mr. Yin Yang.
In a small Qianling Township, three groups of forces gathered together at once.
If the eldest lady also stepped in, it would be four groups of forces, all stirring up the quagmire of the small Qianling Township.
If that group of antique dealers are really the same guys who killed Mr. Yin and Yang just to cut off the dragon knife with one blow, according to the ruthless character of this group of antique dealers who have no profit and are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, I am afraid that the Qianling Township people Muddy water is not as simple as it seems...
"Although there are eminent monks from Bailong Temple who have gone to Qianling Township to slay demons."
"But this time may be the biggest crisis that my He family has encountered, and that Zhang family may be coming for me. I can't avoid it no matter what, so I will personally go to the He family's ancestral home to take charge of the overall situation. Just in case, and also to preserve the safety of the He family, I once again ask Director Jin An and Director Chen to help me."
"Everyone in my He family will be grateful."
The eldest lady looked at Jin An silently.
The last time she killed the Wutong God, she saw Jin An's ability. He was not one of those fake Taoist priests in the countryside. She knew that if Jin An was willing to help, she would personally go to Qianling Township to take charge of the overall security, and great things could be accomplished.
