Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 208
"This young master is really a man of gods. A few days ago, young master said that there would be a dragon horse to send a son to my Zhang family. As expected, what you said was true. Two nights ago, there was a snow-white dragon horse with a precious jade in its mouth. After the lady swallowed the precious jade according to the young master's order, her fetus has moved today and is giving birth."

Zhang Yuanwai bowed his hands to Li Xiuyuan respectfully at this moment.

Although he was puzzled by Li Xiuyuan's uniform, he didn't ask any further questions.

Li Xiuyuan said: "There have been some changes in this matter. Originally, Zhang Yuanwai could have a child today, but because of this change, there is a little risk."

"What does this son mean?" Zhang Yuanwai was startled.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "There are evil spirits who don't want to see your Zhang family give birth to an heir, and want to murder your heir's life."

"Evil ghost killed? So, my grandson will not be able to give birth?"

At this time, an old man who was nearly seventy years old hurried over here with a cane.

"Father." Zhang Yuanwai said.

The name of this nearly seventy-year-old man is Zhang Xiangui, and he is the father of Zhang Yuanwai.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Whether the evil spirit can harm people or not depends on how good the evil spirit is. Isn't there me guarding here today? Don't worry about delivering the baby. No matter what happens outside tonight, don't leave this yard." , as long as you don’t get out of this yard, I can keep you safe tonight, if you leave the yard, I can’t predict what will happen, remember, remember.”

Zhang Xiangui was startled, and hurriedly said: "I wrote it down, dare to ask the master, what will happen tonight?"

"If anything can happen, you can tell from my uniform. Tonight there will be a fight, a fierce fight." Li Xiuyuan said with a faint smile, "Your name is Zhang Xiangui, right?"

"Old man is exactly." Zhang Xiangui said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "Do you still remember a woman named Xiaoyan?"

Zhang Xiangui recalled it for a while, trembling, and said: "Remember, it was a concubine of my old man when he was young. Because he caused my wife's dystocia and died, he hanged himself in fear of crime. How did the master get it?" Do you know the name of my concubine?"

"I met her in the underworld. She was punished by the king of ghosts to wash the placenta in the underworld to make amends. I think she is kind. She has been obsessed with killing your wife for so many years after her death. She wants to give back a son to your Zhang family. Redemption, you should thank Xiaoyan for having this heir born today in your Zhang family, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have given this jade fetus to your Zhang family." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, she is still thinking about this matter. It has been decades, and she still can't forget what happened back then in the underworld."

Zhang Xiangui couldn't help but knelt down, and burst into tears immediately: "She was originally a kind woman, but it was only because she believed in the wrong ghosts and gods that such a disaster happened. I can't blame her for what happened back then."

"Dare to ask the master, Xiaoyan has redeemed her sins in the underworld for decades, can't she still be reincarnated?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "No, unless she washes her hands, she can pay for her sins. She killed a baby, a woman and a child. The crime is not small, and it cannot be offset by goodness."

"Okay, I've finished what Xiaoyan entrusted to me, now I have other things to do, you guys go away." After speaking, he took out another sachet from his pocket.

"This is for you, it can ward off evil spirits, just in case."

Inside the sachet is a human bone, which is the golden body of Master Han Monk, which has the function of exorcising evil spirits.

"Thank you, my lord."

Zhang Yuanwai hurriedly tied the knot for his father, and then helped his tearful father get up.

Zhang Xiangui hurriedly said to his son: "Xiaoyan, she has never forgotten our Zhang family in the underworld for decades, and she also asked for a descendant for our Zhang family. I will set up a memorial tablet for Xiaoyan, and the grave mound will also be moved into the ancestral grave, so that she can enjoy sacrifices and offerings, and her name will also be written in the family tree."

"What father said is very true, my child has remembered it." Zhang Yuanwai nodded and said.

Zhang Xiangui bowed to Li Xiuyuan again: "Tonight, I have an expert to protect me. I don't know what other requests the expert has. I will try my best to fulfill it."

Li Xiuyuan said: "I don't have any other requirements, but it's dark and the visibility is not good. It would be the best to add a brazier here."

"This is the simplest thing, please wait a moment for the master."

Zhang Xiangui saluted, and then hurriedly ordered his servants to buy braziers, be sure to prepare enough charcoal, and not let the braziers go out.

However, just when the brazier was set up, I heard gusts of evil wind blowing around, rustling the trees in Zhang's mansion, and the candlelight in several nearby rooms went out one after another at this moment. The entire mansion was plunged into darkness, the darkness was as dense as ink, as if it could swallow people up, but in this darkness, only one room in the courtyard where Li Xiuyuan was was still lit by candlelight .

And in that room, Mrs. Zhang is giving birth.

"This, this is?" Zhang Xiangui, who was about to leave, was startled when he saw this scene.

It doesn't matter if there is a wind, but even the candles in the house can be blown out, how can this wind be so evil?
"Hey, hey hey."

There were bursts of strange laughter with weak voices, like the rustling of the grass and trees being blown by the wind, or like someone whispering to each other in the dark night. Through the lights here, you can faintly see many black figures walking back and forth outside the yard. From the corner of the eye, every time I glanced over, I could find one or two figures that flashed by.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like you have read it wrong.

"Yes, yes, the evil spirit is here?" Zhang Xiangui and Zhang Yuanwai's father and son turned pale from fright.

However, Li Xiuyuan was calm, sitting in front of the steps, motionless: "The two of you should go into the house, as long as you remember not to stay out of the yard, I will keep you safe."

The two left in a hurry at this moment, and walked into the brightly lit room.

Strange to say, as soon as they entered the room, they felt the wind outside and the strange laughter completely disappeared, as if everything was isolated.

At this moment, Monk Han came out from a corner of the yard. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I just ground a bone of my master's bone into gold powder and sprinkled it around the house. The Zhang family is all right, hey, what kind of ghosts are laughing so badly in that dark place? It’s like killing a pig, it’s very noisy, do you want me to save them?"

"This is a ghost, a kind of ghost that specializes in harming children. This kind of ghost can take away the child's soul just by touching the child a few times, and make the child suffer from insomnia. If the child is not treated, the child will die forever. Everyone will be crazy, and now Mrs. Zhang is giving birth, if the ghost snatches away the child's soul, the baby will be stillborn and cannot survive." Li Xiuyuan said.

"So vicious? The old man went to beat them back." Monk Han glared and said, like a vajra arhat.

Li Xiuyuan stopped him: "No need, ghosts and ghosts are just little ghosts, and they can't make a fortune. Not to mention us, even ordinary people with more yang energy guard here and ghosts and ghosts are not allowed to enter the house. The folks have guards every thirty nights." Customs, it can be seen that most people are on guard against such little ghosts."

"Since they are impotent brats, what did Gu Hua send them for?" Monk Han said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's testing me, look at the fire of the brazier in front of my eyes."

Monk Han looked along the light of the fire, but saw that the light of the fire only extended nine feet away, which was the limit, and beyond that, it was pitch black, and even the candlelight in other places in the county and the starlight in the sky could not be seen at all.

It's dark and weird.

"I have the fate of a saint. Gods and ghosts are not close, but I can only protect the distance of nine feet, so that ghosts and gods are not close to nine feet, but this is not absolute. People with advanced morals can cross this distance. It's useless, but although the monster can get close but can't cast spells, it's [-]% out of ten."

Li Xiuyuan said: "So I ask you to guard this place later, monk, as long as you don't go out of the range covered by the flames."

"So that's the case, I know it well." Monk Han nodded.

Li Xiuyuan also had to admit that the thousand-year-old ghosts were very shrewd. Whether it was the Black Mountain Monarch back then, the Wujiang Dragon King he met later, or the current Hua Gu, they all had their own methods to detect whether they were ghosts or ghosts. close range, and then use this range to find ways to deal with yourself.

And before they figure it out, these thousand-year-old ghosts will never act rashly.

Strong without being reckless, arrogant without being shrewd.

Ordinary people are indeed no match for such spirits.
