Chapter 38 Appease the Rape
"Hou is so ashamed to be a villain in vain!"

Hou Changqi shook his head with a wry smile, cupped his hands at the young man, and said, "I've heard that strange people in the rivers and lakes do things unexpectedly, and they are very different from ordinary people like me. Only when I saw them today, I realized that the rumors are true."

Qi Jingzhi waved his hands nonchalantly, and asked straightforwardly: "Come on, what do you want from me?"

Hearing this, Hou Changqi couldn't help showing a look of astonishment, but he heard Master Meng laughing and said: "Being polite to others, one must ask for something, let alone a person like Master Hou who has eyes above the top and is as hot as fire? Respect him He is not a stingy person, if you have any difficulties, you might as well tell him clearly."

Hou Changqi nodded gratefully to Master Meng, then looked at Qi Jingzhi, and said solemnly: "To tell you the truth, Hou's posturing is just to get an understanding, and then ask for something from your lord."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but become curious.After all, Hou Changqi is a county historian, for some rare thing, he is willing to lie low in front of a mountain boy and be a small boy.

Qi Jingzhi was noncommittal, but he couldn't help being interested: "Let's hear it."

Hou Changqi immediately said: "Hou is from the capital city. A letter came from my home a month ago, saying that my young son had a sudden heart attack and almost died. He also said that an expert pointed out that the dog's heart attack was not an ordinary illness, but It is caused by the entanglement of a trace of evil spirit brought by the womb, and it can only be dispelled by drinking Shaohu Wan."

Hearing this, Xiong Taifeng couldn't help asking in surprise: "A month ago? Then why did you stop me from reporting the matter of the tiger spirit to the county? If you can invite Captain Zhenmo to get rid of this harm, you can ask for it again." , spend some silver taels at most, isn’t this Tiger Pill already in hand?”

It is the first time that most of you have heard of using tiger pills to dispel evil spirits and cure heart diseases, and they all have novel faces.

Especially Wandutou, who was sitting on Xiong and Hou's hands, heard the two superiors talking about Humaru in public, and his expression was as weird as possible.

Qi Jingzhi, however, cared more about the word evil spirit, and couldn't help but look at Master Meng, wanting to verify the truth from the resident ghost and god.

Master Meng was sitting upright, not looking sideways, but the voice rang in the young man's ears: "Don't be surprised, this is a small spell of sound transmission, which cannot be heard by others. The method Hou Dianshi said is indeed effective, and it is not his nonsense. Came out to lie to you."

Qi Jing was taken aback for a while, then retracted his gaze indistinctly, and nodded slightly imperceptibly.

The novelty of Hou Changqi and the others faded away, and then they bowed their hands to Xiong Taifeng apologetically, and explained: "The mother at home loves the little grandson the most, and she doesn't think about eating and drinking all day long. In order to ease her heart, I wrote it in the reply letter. When he mentioned the tiger essence, he said that he would get the tiger pills as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, the expert who treated the children heard about it and wanted to fetch it himself. Hou did not dare to disobey him, so he had to stop the county official. Don't let the town demon captain know."

Xiong Taifeng was a little annoyed immediately: "So that's how it is. I thought Mr. Hou was trying to hide from me... How can that expert be so domineering? In order to wait for him, he actually taught Nangang to have many dead souls for no reason!"

The county magistrate Xiong was so filled with righteous indignation that he obviously wanted to play in front of everyone. If he really loved the people like a son, he wouldn't be able to do nothing if Hou Changqi stopped him.

Qi Jingzhi's brows were really a bit colder, if Master Meng hadn't attracted Dong Mao, it was only because of Hou Changqi's selfishness and Xiong Taifeng's muddled delay, how many more lives would have been killed!

He immediately sneered and said, "You shitty master! If he wants to come, let him come. What else do you ask me to do?"

Seeing the young man getting angry, Hou Changqi couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Your honor is just joking, the tiger spirit has died in your hands, who else can I ask if I don't ask you? Sigh, in the final analysis, it was all my fault."

At that moment, I saw Hou Dianshi gnashing his teeth, as if he had made up his mind: "Now that we have reached this point, Hou will not hide it from you. That expert... is not a human being, it said If you want to come, how dare I say no?"

Xiong Taifeng was taken aback for a moment, and opened his mouth to ask another question.

Hou Changqi didn't mean to be tricky, so he explained first: "My father has been in the ups and downs of his career for many years, and he has no other hobbies. He likes to collect ancient rare books. Before he left, he left a big house full. The descendants of the next generation are unworthy, and none of them loves to read. Yes, seal all those books and lock the house."

"Then one day, I happened to pass by the door of the bookstore at night, and there was an old man inside who called me by my nickname loudly. Take out the books in the house to dry."

Everyone in the room became more and more amazed as they listened, and Jiao Yulang even blurted out: "This must be a book spirit, and there are also people called book ghosts."

Everyone looked at him immediately, and even Master Meng had a strange look in his eyes, and he took a good look at the little boy who had been silent after entering the door.

"It's nothing unusual, but it's always inevitable that this kind of thing will grow in any old library or place where the manuscripts of the sages are placed."

Jiao Yulang was a little proud, and said with a smile: "Because of the different books they were born in, they have different ways of doing things and different abilities. Generally speaking, the good ones are called book spirits, and the vicious ones are naturally book ghosts. Although they are called ghosts, they are actually a kind of ghost. A spirit born in an ancient book."

When he said that, everyone understood.

Qi Jingzhi also nodded secretly, both tigers and souls can become spirits, and the manuscripts of books are contaminated with the spirituality of the person who wrote them, so it may not be impossible.

Master Meng looked away from Jiao Yulang, nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, there was a scholar who joined the army in the previous dynasty. His name is no longer available, but there are two poems handed down. The poem says, I would like to bring an iron halberd to recruit ghosts, stop ordering Hatred fills the bones. Book ghosts are such spirits, as long as they are suppressed with a big iron halberd tainted with literary spirit, they will not cause trouble."

Hou Changqi's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of remorse on his face: "So that's it! There was indeed a big iron halberd standing in the library of my deceased father. Before he died, he specifically told the younger generation not to move it. It was my mother who felt it later. The murder weapon was unknown, so the servant was sent to sell it off."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Since that night, that book ghost has gradually become acquainted with my family. He actually entered the house and pretended to be Hou's uncle. Because it really did a lot of things for the family, Everyone treats it like family.”

"It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. It couldn't find the iron halberd at home, so it often asked my mother for it. My mother said it was sold, but it didn't believe it. It just said that we hid it and refused to give it. After a long time, it He became ferocious and ferocious, and would beat and scold if anything went wrong, and the whole family was afraid of the power of adultery, so they dared to get angry and dare not speak out."

"This time the child suddenly became ill, and it was the one who said that he could only be cured by swallowing burning tiger pills. Later, when he heard about the tiger essence, he even came to kill the tiger to get the pills himself, and said that he had to give him the iron halberd first. succeed."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi also felt sorry for him, and thought to himself: "What happened to Hou Dianshi's family is similar to what happened to me when I met Lu Yunzi. The difference is that I only killed him when I had one. A human's sharp knife can hurt it, and there is a small bronze mirror that came from nowhere to protect it, and the Hou family also had an iron halberd, but he sold it himself, so there is nothing to say."

At that moment, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but said: "I see that the book Ghost Killing Tiger Gets Pills is fake, and it's true to take the opportunity to cheat your family's iron halberd, but I don't know that the iron halberd is really gone. But the more so, The more we should get rid of the tiger spirit as soon as possible, the reason why the book ghost disappeared is the reason why Hou Dianshi stopped the county venerable from asking for help?"

"Since it said that it will come in person, if there is any disagreement, no matter what the reason is, it will anger my family!"

Hou Changqi smiled wryly again: "My original intention was to find an old iron halberd of a similar style to perfuse it. Wouldn't it be convenient to get rid of the tiger essence and cure the child's illness? I just heard Master Meng say You have to be tainted with literary spirit to realize that I take it for granted, and ordinary iron halberds are probably useless."

Xiong Taifeng was quite indignant, and complained: "My brother is so pedantic, he should have handed over a letter to the town demon courtyard, and cut off this alien who occupies the magpie's nest! Why do you tolerate adultery and make the house restless?"

Before Xiong Taifeng finished speaking, Jiao Yulang burst into laughter.

I heard the little boy say sarcastically: "Master Dianshi just said that that guy has done a lot of things for the family. I think it's not that he can't get rid of it, but he is reluctant! What's the point of beating and scolding? Don't say that the iron halberd at home is gone, it's still there, hehe..."
