Soon, the prepared Taoist priest arrived. This was Wu Sheyue's first time seeing this Taoist priest.
He looks young, about thirty, wearing a yellow traditional Taoist robe. His face is solemn and calm, and he looks calm and neutral. Wu Sheyue looked at him and felt that this man's face was very upright.
Also... Meng Ruxue firmly believed that Wu Sheyue was filthy, so naturally she didn't need to bribe the charlatan.
The Taoist priest first bowed to the old lady, then went up to the high platform and began to perform the ritual.
He first burned three sticks of incense to offer sacrifices to heaven, and then took out the yellow paper on which the talismans were drawn. With a wave of his sleeves, the spell flew in the air. He shouted: "Ghost Exorcism Formation!"
He moved his arms in a circle, and the charms flew with the movements, and finally they were collected into a pile and burned. Wu Sheyue secretly sighed. In ancient times, cultivating internal strength and practicing martial arts were really useful!
Then, the Taoist priest erected three Dharma flags, waved them in the wind, and placed the flags on the table. He picked up the master's sword and started dancing it smoothly.
Seeing this formation, the old lady nodded repeatedly. Aunt Zhao looked even more seriously. Wu Sheyue looked sideways at her, feeling that she was clearly like a top student who had seen the exercises.
This formation lasted for half an hour. Finally, the Taoist priest finished his work and walked off the stage.
The old lady immediately stood up and was supported by Wu Hantian, who quickly walked forward to greet her. The aunt and ladies also quickly followed.
The old lady asked anxiously: "Taoist Master, how is my house?"
The Taoist priest bowed again and said seriously: "Don't worry, old lady, I have already set up a ghost exorcism formation. If there are ghosts, you can drive them out, and you can pray for blessings even if there are no ghosts."
But this was obviously not the answer that the old lady wanted. She continued to ask eagerly: "The Taoist priest may be able to tell if there is any filth in my house? Or where is the filth? Please ask the Taoist priest to eliminate those monsters." ah!"
The Taoist priest hesitated, "This poor Taoist is still-"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a shrill cry from the other side: "Ah - dead, dead!"
Everyone was shocked. How could you kill someone? Suddenly, they saw Bai Lian stumbling over from the road in the west courtyard. Her face was pale, with fear and tears in her eyes.
At such a critical juncture, the old lady's eyes were blurred by the screaming voice, and she almost fell down. Wu Hantian held the old lady tightly with one hand and shouted at Bai Lian, "What did you say about dead people?"
Bai Lian ran over, fell to the ground again, and cried: "Miss Third, someone died in Miss Third's yard..."
Wu Sheyue's eyes widened slightly, looking a little unbelievable. Instead, Wu Jinghua screamed in horror, "Who is it! Who do you think is dead!"
Before anyone could react, Wu Sheyue immediately turned back and asked Wu Jinghua, "Why is the second sister so anxious? Is it a real death or a fake death? The second sister believed it too quickly!"
When the old lady heard that it made sense, her heart relaxed a lot.
Wu Jinghua realized that he had made a mistake and immediately covered his mouth. Aunt Meng, on the other hand, was worried that Wu Jinghua would go straight and be dragged into the trap by Wu Sheyue, so she hurriedly retorted, "Miss Third, don't be too bullying! Don't rely on Jinghua for everything! The master just did the trick, you Someone died in the yard! It’s obvious! Don’t try to shirk the blame anymore!”
Meng Ruxue had an excited expression on her face. She couldn't tell whether it was a smile or a sign of worry. Wu Sheyue read a sentence on her face: I finally proved that you are a monster!
But Wu Sheyue still looked calm and said: "I'm just asking. Although Bai Lian is my maid, she suddenly went crazy and ran over and said that someone died in my yard. I haven't seen anything yet. With her Grandma and dad won't believe her even if she says it all. Second sister, you are too impatient."
Wu Sheyue's last sentence was so meaningful that Wu Jinghua took two steps back worriedly, "You, I just-"
Jiang Qingxue pushed Wu Liuyun, and Wu Liuyun suddenly said: "Who is dead here! Let's go and see quickly! What's the use of talking so much here."
Wu Sheyue frowned and looked at Jiang Qingxue, no longer refuting.
As soon as the old lady heard this, she immediately grabbed the Taoist priest's sleeve and said, "Taoist Master, I don't know why people died suddenly. Please go and see with me, Taoist Master!"
"The old lady is so polite, of course I should go and see it."
This group of people went to Wu Sheyue's west courtyard in a mighty manner. Wu Sheyue couldn't help but sigh on the way. This must be the first time that the courtyard has received so many adults since the third lady was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as everyone entered the yard, they saw a person lying vaguely in the flower garden. The surrounding begonias had been shoveled to pieces and fell to pieces, looking very depressed.
Aunt Liu said in shock: "Could it be that someone is really dead?"
When everyone heard this, they quickly gathered around. He saw a maid in blue and white clothes lying face down, her hands and arms inserted into the dark soil beneath her body, and a muddy shovel was thrown next to her.
Seeing this scene, Wu Jinghua was so scared that he immediately covered his mouth with his hands, panicking and feeling at a loss.
Aunt Meng felt that this person looked familiar. She took two steps forward to identify him carefully, and said in a panic: "Is this... Qingxing? No way!"
Wu Hantian immediately stepped forward and kicked the maid off her face. That pale, muddy face turned out to be Qing Xing! There was a big pit under her body, and she had just put her hands into the pit!
Jiang Qingxue looked shocked, this...
"Ah!" Wu Jinghua screamed, sitting on the ground, stunned with fear, tears falling down.
Everyone thought Wu Jinghua looked sad, but Wu Sheyue found her true emotions so interesting. She was obviously scared. how so? Was the death not within her expectation
Meng Ruxue also began to cry loudly, and threw herself on her knees on the ground, shaking Qingxing as if mourning. Qingxing was the girl she had been with for the longest time and was the closest to her. This was tantamount to chopping off one of her arms. .
"What's going on? Why did the girl from the second room die here at Yue'er!" The old lady became angry and stamped her cane hard. She didn't care at all whether a maid died or not, but what she cared about was the presence of filth!
Meng Ruxue was stunned. She turned around, grabbed Bai Lian's arm and shook it violently: "What's the reason for this! How could something happen to my girl?"
Bai Lian was also crying and looked at Wu Jinghua with tears in her eyes. Wu Jinghua quickly lowered his head and wiped away his tears.
Wu Hantian's face darkened when he saw this, and he said dangerously: "Speak quickly!"
So Bai Lian cried loudly, "I, I was working in the yard... There was no one in the yard today. Qing Xing came over and was digging in the flower bed, digging... She suddenly fell down, and I went over to pat her. , and found that she was out of breath..." (To be continued)
