Zhou Yue looked ugly when he came back.
"The eldest brother was hit by a carriage when he was out on the street a few days ago. Fortunately, he dodged quickly, otherwise he would not have been saved. But even so, two legs were broken. The second brother was even worse. He was obviously in the garden. Xiaoshi, the second brother almost drowned in the half-knee-high fish pond. Fortunately, he was discovered by a passing servant and rescued, but he also contracted cold syndrome and has not recovered from it until now. "
If Mr. Zhou hadn't been so abnormal, Zhou Yue would have thought that these were all accidents, but Mr. Zhou's current reaction made him very uneasy, and he always felt that there was something weird about it.
"Taoist Master, what is going on? Could this be related to my father's change?"
After hearing these words, Gu Mengyin and Jingchen became more certain about their guesses.
"I don't know who got your father's advice, so he came back to lend you the youth of the younger generation."
"Wha, what?"
Zhou Yue couldn't believe it.
"Do you have your father's horoscope?"
Zhou Yue nodded and said a horoscope.
Gu Mengyin counted with her fingers and frowned: "Judging from the horoscope, this person's fate will be ten days ago."
Zhou Yue's eyes widened even more.
"The girl is saying that my father should have died ten days ago?"
"Yes, he is still alive now and probably has the lifespan of your brothers, otherwise he would not be alive until now."
"so what should I do now?"
Gu Mengyin glanced at him lightly, "This matter will be more difficult to deal with..."
Zhou Yue said hurriedly: "I will give the girl and the Taoist priest more money, one hundred taels, no, two hundred taels, is that okay?"
From twenty taels to two hundred taels, Gu Mengyin was still very satisfied.
"Seeing that Mr. Zhou is so sincere, we will leave this matter to us. However, Mr. Zhou needs to think clearly. After the matter is resolved, your father will report to the Hall of Hell according to the date written in the Book of Life and Death."
Zhou Yue looked tangled, with his brother and his life on one side, and his father on the other. He didn't know how to make a decision for a while.
Finally, he made up his mind and said: "Please, Taoist Master, obey the way of heaven and don't let innocent people get hurt."
Gu Mengyin knew what it meant as soon as she heard this.
"Okay, we get it."
"Go and prepare a bowl of rooster blood. Bring your father to the easternmost house before midnight tonight, and leave the rest to us."
"Okay, I'll let someone prepare it."
As soon as Zhou Yue left, Gu Wenbin couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart.
"Auntie, are you going to perform a ritual?"
"No, just take a picture of Yang Shou after he swallowed it."
Gu Wenbin looked shocked, "Shoot, shoot?" What kind of operation is this?
"That's right, little junior sister can do it with just one slap. These two hundred taels are not very profitable at all."
Jingchen sat down next to Gu Mengyin, took out a handful of melon seeds from his body and started eating them.
At night, Zhou Yue asked his servants to bring them dinner.
After eating, Zhou Yue came over, and it was obvious that he was very uneasy.
"What are Mr. Zhou worried about?"
Zhou Yue shook his head, "I just don't understand why my father did this. My father has loved us since we were young. When we were playing, we were almost swept away by the river when we were in danger. Later, it was my father who saved me regardless of his own life."
He couldn't understand why a father who risked his life for his son would take away the life of his children regardless of their lives when he was about to die.
Gu Mengyin took a sip of tea and exhaled comfortably, "What's the point that I can't understand? People will have a strong desire to live when they are about to die. He just doesn't want to die."
Zhou Yue shook his head, still a little unable to accept it.
"Is everything ready?"
"Ready."
"Well, just wait until the time comes to bring people over."
"good."
When it was almost midnight, Zhou Yue took them outside the eastmost house of the Zhou family. Mr. Zhou had been tricked by him.
Zhou Yue whispered: "I gave dad some intoxicating drugs, and now dad is still asleep."
Gu Mengyin nodded, took the cock blood in his hand, pushed open the door and walked in.
Jingchen took out two resurrecting charms and stuck them on the door, signaling Zhou Yue and the others to wait outside.
Gu Mengyin walked up to Mr. Zhou and smeared his face with rooster blood, then looked at Tianshi.
"How long until midnight."
"A quarter of an hour."
Jingchen helped the person up from the chair, and Gu Mengyin placed a hand on his Tianling Cap.
As soon as midnight arrived, the unconscious Mr. Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, and Gu Mengyin suddenly raised her hand and patted his Tianling Cap.
"ah!"
Mr. Zhou's eyes were protruding and his face was ferocious. He struggled to get up, but Gu Mengyin slapped him on the Tianling cover.
Master Zhou opened his mouth, and a ball of black air spit out from his mouth.
"Little junior sister, there are more."
"Know."
Master Zhou opened his mouth in pain, Gu Mengyin slapped him again, and black energy emerged one after another, until Master Zhou's eyes turned white, as if his bones had been taken away, and his whole body collapsed on the chair, unable to hold on. He started twitching, but stopped moving for a moment.
Jingchen stepped forward and felt for his pulse, "I'm out of breath and my body stinks."
Gu Mengyin took out the handkerchief and wiped her hands, "It's done."
Seeing the two people leaving the house, Zhou Yue nervously glanced into the house and asked, "Girl, how are you?"
"It's settled, bury your father quickly."
Zhou Yue was stunned for a moment. When he entered the room and saw that Mr. Zhou's body had become corrupted, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"Many, thank you." The attendant took the silver and handed it to Gu Mengyin.
"It's getting late, why don't you three rest at your house for one night and go back early tomorrow morning?"
"No need."
"But there's a curfew now..."
"Don't worry, sir, we will return home smoothly."
Zhou Yue looked at Gu Mengyin and insisted without saying anything else. After sending them outside the door, he went to deal with Mr. Zhou's funeral affairs.
"Grandma, what did you just do that caused Master Zhou to die?"
Jingchen said: "I just took out the Yang Shou he swallowed and returned it. He originally borrowed his life to survive. Without the borrowed Yang Shou, he will naturally not be able to survive."
Gu Wenbin nodded in understanding, "It's really amazing. Can anyone shoot this?"
Gu Mengyin glanced at him, "Of course only those who have practiced Taoism to a certain level can have this ability. If anyone could take pictures, there wouldn't be so many messy things in the world."
Gu Wenbin's flame of learning Taoism, which had been extinguished, flared up again.
"Then how long will it take me to practice to reach this level?"
"With your qualifications, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it every hundred years."
A hundred years?
Gu Wenbin's little flame has gone out again. We don't know if he can live for more than a hundred years!
They didn't encounter any patrolling Imperial Guards on the way. When they returned to Gu's mansion, they found a carriage parked outside. It looked familiar.
