Crown Princess, she can catch ghosts

Chapter 91
After everyone left, Dian Su raised her hand and turned it over, and a tablet appeared on the table, which was exactly what Li Danchen gave her earlier.

The tablet is only two inches in size, and there are weird runes engraved on it, crooked and shaped like chickens, as if they were carved indiscriminately.

Dian Su took a closer look, and found that the tablet was actually made of willow wood, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Generally, people choose pine, catalpa, and peach wood for memorial tablets, while rich and noble people often use sandalwood, small-leaved red sandalwood, and golden nanmu, which not only shows the filial piety of future generations, but also is durable and not easy to crack.

And mulberry, willow, poplar, locust tree, and neem are all called ghost trees.

These trees are yin and attract ghosts. If ghost wood is used as a memorial tablet, it will indicate ominousness.

Although the tablet Li Danchen gave her was newly engraved, since he would choose willow wood, it meant that the previous tablet was also made of willow wood.

If she remembers the weird runes on it correctly, they are the characters of Hades, but the handwriting is too scribbled and messy, and she can't make out what it is, only vaguely recognize the word ghost king.

It's been so long since Yuemo, Li Danchen himself can't remember exactly what was engraved at the time.

It's just that there are too many ghost kings in this world, how can she find out based on these two words alone?

If the other party is not the ghost king, but deliberately brags, it is not impossible.

Dian Su thought for a while, took out a stack of puppet charms from the small bag, and injected some spiritual power.

Following her movements, the ten puppet charms gradually turned into ten small paper figures the size of two fingers, bending towards Diansu to salute comically.

She made a formula with one hand, tapped on each of the little paper figurines, and shouted softly: "Listen to my orders, go quickly!"

Those paper figurines hid their figures, and spread out in all directions of Li's mansion with small steps.

Seeing this scene, Xiangsi couldn't help being curious, she popped out of the concentric bell and asked, "Girl, what are you going to do?"

Dian Su said: "I suspect Li Danchen has something else to hide from me."

If Li Danchen enshrines ghosts, the people in the house will also be affected, in order not to let people see the clues, the servants in the house must be rotated frequently.

But there is no such rule mentioned in the files about him, these people are always ordered by his family.

And these servants looked normal, and they didn't seem to be affected by Yin Qi.

Acacia was puzzled: "Three years have passed, can you still see it? After Li Danchen smashed the memorial tablet, didn't that ghost just leave? Once the yin energy dissipates and the influence is gone, they will of course get better!"

Dian Su shook his head: "What do you think this kind of yin energy is, and it can be dissipated if you say it?"

"When the yin energy from an ordinary ghost is contaminated by a living person, that person will be unlucky for months at least, let alone a ghost that needs to be enshrined by Li Danchen in this way. Ghost energy is similar to death energy, but not as powerful."

"Even if three years have passed, the situation of these people should not be what it looks like now."

Dian Su glanced at the boy in the courtyard who was trimming flowers and plants.

He was pruning evergreen branches with brass shears.

One summer day passed, and the evergreen tree had grown a large section of emerald green branches and leaves, which looked a little messy, and it was hard to see the appearance of the pruning in spring.

The young man moved skillfully, cutting up and down with his hands, and a beautiful evergreen tree was quickly trimmed.

Diansu stood up and walked towards him.

When the boy saw him, he put away the copper scissors and saluted, "Young lady is well."

"I see that you do things so neatly, how long have you been in Li's residence?" Dian Su asked.

The boy was embarrassed by the praise, and showed a simple and honest smile, "It's been 15 years since I returned to the girl."

"It's been so long?" Dian Su was slightly surprised, "My little brother is only about ten years old, but he is about the same age as me."

After listening to what Su said, the young man found that she was not putting on airs, she praised him like that just now, and her words became a little warmer.

Straightening her back, she proudly said: "Young lady, I don't know, but the younger one is a slave of the Li family. He has been working in the Li residence since he was a child. A good hand, if you have something to do, the young master likes to send the little ones!"

"It's amazing." Dian Su Zan said.

Compared with ordinary servants, a family-born slave is always a member of the master's family, which is equivalent to the private property of the master's family, and there is no such thing as taking off slavery.

But their status in the mansion is much higher than that of ordinary servants, and when they do business outside, they directly represent the face of the master's family.

Similarly, the higher the status and wealth of the main family, the more prestigious they will be as the tide rises.

"I'm not going to lie to you, girl," the servant said in a low voice, "The things in the courtyard on the west side were all made by the little ones, which shows how little you value the young master!"

After hearing this, Dian Su's eyes dimmed, and he asked, "What's your name?"

The boy replied proudly: "Li Yuan, everyone calls me A Yuan, and girls can call me that too."

Being able to bear the surname of the master's family shows that his status is indeed different.

Dian Su nodded and asked, "Ah Yuan, why did I only see you busy here? What did the people I saw when I entered the mansion go?"

Li Yuan did not doubt the purpose of Su's question, and said: "They are all working in the backyard, and the young master has already ordered that you are a distinguished guest, so they are not allowed to disturb you."

Dian Su waved his hand, "It's just that Mr. Li is very polite, I'm just a little prostitute, so I can't be regarded as a distinguished guest."

Li Yuan couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, "The girl is a prostitute? Were those things originally prepared for the girl?"

Nodding Su nodded, "I never lied about half a sentence."

Li Yuan was both surprised and delighted: "I thought it was prepared for that celestial master, but I never thought it was a girl who wanted to use it! The girl is really amazing at such a young age!"

When Diansu heard him say that, he just smiled.

In this line of work, she is used to hearing these words, flattering her face to face, but there are many people secretly looking down on her behind her back.

Li Yuan didn't seem to see what Su was thinking, but asked in a low voice: "Since the girl is a prostitute, can I do you a favor?"

Seeing his troubled expression, Dian Su didn't respond directly, thinking that something happened to him.

"Let me tell you."

"It's like this. The villain has an acquaintance named Yang Wen. He used to eat wine with me. He accidentally fell into the water and died a few days ago. These days, the villain always dreams of him. He is often covered in water. He said he was so cold, so cold... Sometimes he even said he wanted me to accompany him!"

The smile on Li Yuan's face disappeared completely, and his expression became obscure, with a bit of fear, "The little one was really scared. I thought I had the opportunity to go to the temple to ask for amulets, but now I meet a girl It's also a small blessing, I wonder if the girl can do anything?"

After listening to Diansu, he raised his eyes to look at him, and asked quietly: "Is his death related to you? If he was killed by you, he would want to ask for your life."

When Li Yuan heard this, he met Su Weiliang's eyes and was so frightened that he almost cried, "Miss Mingjian, the youngest was on duty at the mansion that day, and I didn't even see his face. The little one at home only found out that something happened to him after doing funeral things at home, and all of this really has nothing to do with the little one!"

"If you didn't lie, it should be because you were very close before you were alive, and he was unwilling to leave, so he came to look for you."

Seeing that his appearance did not seem to be a fake, Dian Su took out an exorcism talisman, folded it into a triangle, and handed it to Li Yuan, "You keep this talisman, wear it tonight and burn it at the place where he fell into the water." Some joss sticks and paper money, it is best to bring his favorite wine and pour it into the water, say goodbye to him, and then there will be no problem."

In such a situation, it was nothing more than that the person was unwilling to leave, so he entrusted Meng and Li Yuan, it was not a serious matter.

"But let me remind you, if the wine falls into the water and the talisman turns to ashes, you should go back to your residence immediately, and don't visit his tomb to pay homage to him in the future, remember?"

If the joss stick had been burned and the wine had been poured into the water, then Yang Wen would strike at him, and this talisman would protect him once, blocking Yang Wenchang's ghostly aura.

But the love between them was over.

If Li Yuan wants to visit Yang Wen's grave in the future, it will be tantamount to sending himself to Yang Wen's hands, and let him rub and flatten him, so he can't blame her.

When Li Yuan heard this, his expression became serious immediately, and he nodded. He took the talisman and put it in his arms cautiously. Please smile, girl."

Diansu only said: "You can keep it for yourself."

If there is really a problem with Li Danchen, the Li family will be in trouble in the future. Li Yuan, as a servant of the Li family, can imagine what will happen to him.

Other servants can vote for a new master, but they can only follow the master's family for a lifetime, and it is unknown what will happen in the future.

She is not short of this money, so let him keep it by his side, so as not to be troublesome in the future, which is also a crime.

Li Yuan scratched his head, thinking that Su Diansu disliked his lack of money, and said with some embarrassment: "Although it is a little less, it's not good to let the girl work hard in vain."

Dian Su knew that he had misunderstood, so he said, "It's not a big deal to give you a talisman as you hit it off with me. You should keep the money for yourself."

Li Yuan chuckled, "Girls don't have to be polite with the younger ones. The younger ones have monthly money, and the young master is also generous. Those who often give out rewards, usually have good wine and spend more. Just save it later!"

Diansu still refused to accept her, and Li Yuan didn't insist anymore, but his attitude towards her became more respectful.

Dian Su asked, "Ah Yuan, do you know when Mr. Li's situation started?"

Li Yuan thought for a while, and said: "After the death of the young lady three years ago, the young master's health has not been very good, but he has been recuperating carefully, and there is no major problem. For some reason, after the Ghost Festival this year, it suddenly became worse. Several times They all passed out."

"Fainted?" Dian Su frowned.

Li Yuan nodded and sighed: "The young master's body is getting worse every day, but the burden on his body is heavy and he has to be strong. He doesn't want people who are jealous of the Li family to know, so he keeps it a secret. No one can see the clue. We These servants looked at it, and felt quite uncomfortable."

Dian Su also sighed, "I heard that Mr. Li is kind and kind, but such a good man has suffered in vain. It is really heartbreaking."

"Who said no?"

Li Yuan said with emotion: "As long as we do any good deeds, our young master must be the first to start. He is a very good person. Speaking of Mr. Li, our Huai'an prefecture city, who doesn't applaud? Even for us servants, we are also kind. , I have never shouted and shouted to kill, this time there must be someone who is jealous and wants to harm the young master!"

This remark was biased, Dian Su did not agree, so he just said: "Forget it, everything will be resolved after tonight."

Li Yuan saw that it was getting late, so he also resigned and went to work on other things.

Xiangsi lay on Diansu's body and watched the two chatting for such a long time, her ears were almost callused.

Now that she was quiet, she asked, "What is the girl doing with him?"

Dian Su said lightly: "I just wanted to find out, who would have thought that Li Danchen had already guarded against my move, leaving only one confidant here, which made it difficult for me to strike."

Xiangsi said: "Didn't the girl send paper figurines out? There must be news soon."

As soon as the words fell, Dian Su's face darkened.

Seeing that Diansu suddenly felt cold, Xiangsi shouted tremblingly: "Gu, girl, what's wrong?"

Dian Su smiled lightly, but the smile was so cold that it didn't reach his eyes.

"It's a bold one." Dian Su said.
