The monster that was cursed by Nie Xiaoqian is a human being, so no matter what monster it looks like before the original body becomes, after death, the corpse will still only appear as a human being.

Although he was extremely sad, Pu Weihai decided to conceal the cause of his wife's death. So early the next morning, Pu Weihai burned the bedding stained with blue blood and reported the case to the government, claiming that three robbers entered the house and broke into the door and killed his wife. Because Pu Weihai's tree attracted a lot of wind, it was reasonable to be targeted by the robbers. In addition, the bedroom door was kicked and destroyed, the government believed Pu Weihai's statement and after careful investigation, it was of course the case was incomplete because it could not be solved.

Pu Weihai also unified his statements about Xu Mengtao's mother's family, neighbors, and two sisters whom he married far away, and thus made a huge lie to the world.

Pu Weihai also made up his mind that he would not tell his son about the real cause of his mother's death in the future. He even did not mention the two of them as descendants of Pu Songling, as well as monsters, purifying messengers, etc., so that Pu Zixuan would grow up physically and mentally healthy as an ordinary child, and then see if the truth will be told after he is adult.

Pu Zixuan is a two-year-old child after all. Xu Mengtao was by his side and was extremely dependent on his mother. However, less than half a month after Xu Mengtao passed away, Pu Zixuan's happy expression jumping up and down at home told Pu Weihai that he had forgotten all his mother, which made Pu Weihai feel relieved and extremely sad.

Jerome fell into deep self-blame for Xu Mengtao's death and wanted to say goodbye to Pu Weihai, but Pu Weihai repeatedly emphasized that this matter was not his fault and hoped not to affect the relationship between the two.

After all the affairs of his wife were processed according to the regular procedures of the world, Pu Weihai and Jerome recovered some positive emotions and went to the government to ask the real murderer to be arrested as soon as possible, but began to use their resources to explore the truth behind the incident.

The appearance of the banshee and Xu Mengtao's demonization occurred on the same day. The two judged that there must be some connection between the two. Pu Weihai said before thinking of the banshee casting the magic: "After a while, the young master may be in a state of mind, but after taking the secret book, I will lift the curse and restore the young master, and will not harm you and your family."

From this point of view, some kind of curse was cast on him, but it was too late to be lifted because the banshee fled in panic. Therefore, Xu Mengtao's demonization must have been triggered by this curse.

Combined with the purpose of the Banshee to seize the "Huanyue Jue", even though she did not know the function of the secret book, it might have existed since Pu Songling's era, and she did not want to hurt the Pu family. She must have been a monster with some human nature, so she suspected that this Banshee had probably been recorded by Pu Songling in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

Because of the beautiful appearance of the banshee, Pu Weihai initially suspected that the banshee was a fox monster, but he also thought that the vine that entangled him at that time did not seem to be a fox tribe, but it was like a monster related to plants. This type of monster is rare in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

Moreover, when the Banshee casts the magic, asking herself whether she thinks she is beautiful is a charming technique.

Combining the five characteristics of banshee, plant, charm, demonizing humanity, and humanity, Pu Weihai increasingly suspects that this banshee is the female ghost written by Pu Songling - Nie Xiaoqian.

However, Nie Xiaoqian is not a plant monster in the original text, but his grandmother is, and Nie Xiaoqian directly transforms himself into a shemale rather than a relative. However, considering that Pu Songling makes some artistic adaptations for the wonderful story of the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, it is normal for him to lock the banshee as Nie Xiaoqian.

Later, Pu Weihai found a manuscript called "Wan Yao Pu" in the bookcase. This manuscript records the real prototype of the monster in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". It was not published publicly, but was directly circulated within the family.

This time, Pu Weihai finally found a exactly the same monster in the book, saying that Pu Songling learned from his communication with his friend Yan Chixia that Nie Xiaoqian was actually a part of the small-leaf red bean branches separated from the tree demon grandmother Gui Yasha. His magic is to transform the most important human-monster in the heart of the cursed person, and the cursed person will die of lovesickness. However, if the demonized person dies in time or the two are separated at a sufficient distance in time, the lovesickness will be relieved.

After reading this, Pu Weihai had already breathed a sigh of relief, but the following description gave Pu Weihai another heavy blow: "If the evil spirit is still alive, ten years later, the curse will recur, and the second most serious one will be deviled. If you go back and forth, you will not be able to go all day long."

Pu Songling naturally wrote the language very literary, but it is not difficult for Pu Weihai to understand its meaning: if the charmed person has not died, ten years later, the curse will recur, and the second most important person in his heart will continue to deify the second and most important person in his heart.

His wife has passed away. Now Pu Weihai is the only person in the world who cannot let go of is his son Pu Zixuan. If this curse cannot be lifted, then by 1856, Pu Zixuan was twelve years old. If the two of them still lived here, it would be the time when his son became a monster!

Pu Weihai took a breath and asked Jerome to discuss countermeasures. Jerome was already guilty. In this way, he immediately thought that if he hadn't beat Nie Xiaoqian away that day, Nie Xiaoqian might have taken the initiative to lift the curse, and the tragedy at night would not have happened.

"Not only did I keep the curse with myself, I also killed my sister-in-law, Brother Pu, I..." Jerome felt ashamed of Pu Weihai, and even his words became polite and dissatisfied.

Pu Weihai smiled to Jerome with a tolerant smile and told him that Nie Xiaoqian is in Jinhua Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. If he can get rid of it, the curse will be lifted. Please let him explore where Nie Xiaoqian's evil spirit is first.

However, the monsters transformed by Xiaoye Hongdou will not be found unless they actively release the demonic energy. However, Jerome felt a great responsibility and practiced the power of purification every day in order to explore the demonic energy that is getting farther and farther away.

By the winter of the next year, Jerome's magic power was no longer the same as before. He was able to explore the demonic energy from Yunnan to Zhejiang, and searched day and night. Finally, in Jinhua Prefecture, he discovered a demonic energy at night and appeared in the same place in the same place and quickly disappeared. He judged that this was like treating Pu Weihai that day, charming the passing men in Lanruo Temple.

Since the target has been locked, we need to find a way to get rid of Nie Xiaoqian.

In the next two years, Pu Weihai and Jerome went to Zhejiang to find Nie Xiaoqian twice, but whenever they entered Zhejiang, they would be attacked by Xiaoye Hongdou monsters on their own initiative. Jerome lost to many monsters alone, so they had to go home twice to find another good solution.

"David, it's not that I don't want to help you. For you, I can even give up my life. But, there are too many enemies and we can't even walk into Jinhua Mansion, what's the point?"

"Since that's the case, I can spend more money to take care of the purifiers and go with me."

"No, David, let alone whether the purifier is willing to do this, even if you are willing, with your financial resources, how many people will be hired to be sure to succeed? At that time, if you end up losing both people and money, you will be robbed." It seems that after another year of study, Jerome has been able to master idioms such as "both people and money" and "no rebirth".

Pu Weihai took out the Pu family's ancestral amber worn on his neck, played with it, and sighed, "I'm a descendant of Pu Songling, and I have such a holy object to help me, but I can't awaken the power of purification and fight side by side with you. Jerome, what advice do you have?"

"I studied at Cambridge University, the top UK university, and knew some cutting-edge scientific knowledge. From Newton's discovery of gravity, scientists gradually realized that different forces are contained in the different movements of everything. Thomas Young named this force 'energy', and Robert Meier proposed the law of conservation of energy, that is, energy will neither be produced nor disappeared from thin air. It is just transformed from one form to another, or from one object to other objects, and the total amount of energy should remain unchanged." Jerome explained this series of terms extremely difficult, and it was possible to understand a rough idea by using bilingual mixed feelings.

"Just just say it, what can we do?"

"I think that the magic power of elves and our magicians is just a kind of energy. As long as you convert and store scientifically, you can invent some advanced weapons and equipment and store mana in weapons. In this way, ordinary people will have powerful magic weapons to fight with elves. In this way, the cost of manpower will be saved a lot."

"After you say this, I realize that our understanding of the world is much behind your country. But how do I invent such weapons?"

"I'll do the technical stuff. You are very rich. You can take advantage of the trend of the British Industrial Revolution to invest in a British company to secretly produce and sell these weapons for use by various countries to achieve a virtuous cycle of wealth. As for how to set up and run a company, I can ask my father for help."

"But, I want to take care of Xuan'er. I don't have time to go to the UK. I'll ask you all this."

The two hit it off, and Jerome left China when Pu Zixuan was almost five years old and returned to the UK. At the request of the financial owner Pu Weihai, he established the "Liuquan Group" under the name of Pu Songling.

At this time, it was less than eight years before the second curse attack.

However, how easy is to invent such advanced weapons? Year after year, Pu Weihai is still struggling to run a cold weapon business in Lijiang. Although Liuquan Group can still support it, equipment that can convert mana has not been developed yet.

In the sixth year of Xianfeng, the year 1856 AD finally arrived. At the beginning of the year, Jerome brought his father and several British colleagues to Lijiang to visit Pu Weihai again.

"David, good news, our Liuquan Group has already had a huge influence among governments around the world, and has made a lot of money by selling weapons. Moreover, the response is very good. Those weapons are indeed the nemesis of the elf!"

Pu Weihai said happily: "So, can we rush to Zhejiang to eliminate Nie Xiaoqian this year?"

At this time, Pu Zixuan was almost twelve years old. In order to prevent him from understanding what everyone said, both parties chose to communicate in English.

"No, I think it's not the time. Although we have made breakthroughs in energy conversion technology and produced weapons, today, Nie Xiaoqian is probably an elf army. Therefore, we must not only have weapons, but also armor to avoid unnecessary sacrifices. We are developing a cloak that can resolve demonic power. This cloak is more difficult. I believe that we can complete it within ten years."

"Ten years..." Pu Weihai sighed, "But, this curse will strike again this autumn."

Jerome's father James Daniel said: "I'm sorry Mr. Pu, this is the reason why we came to Lijiang. We sincerely invite you to live in the UK for a while, not only to protect the safety of you father and son, but also to visit the company in person, so as to encourage employees to improve the development speed."

That day, Jerome, who was 34 years old, met Pu Zixuan, who was twelve years old at the Pu family and gave him a globe as a gift.

On the first day of July that year, in a light rain, Pu Weihai handed Pu Zixuan over to his friend and Youlan, asking him to take care of Pu Zixuan until he was eighteen years old, and handed over the ancestral amber he wore to his son.
