Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 253 Integrity
Li Xiuyuan nodded after listening: "Very well, what you have done is enough to withstand the kindness of a meal, since you have eaten the last day today, then I will let the shopkeeper take you on the road, so that you can be reincarnated as soon as possible , so as not to continue to stay in the world.”

"Thank you, Master." All the starving ghosts clapped their hands in gratitude.

Li Xiuyuan nodded, and he had reached an agreement with these starving ghosts.

He didn't use strong means to expel these starving ghosts. After all, these starving ghosts were good people in front of them. It was just that they had to hide here to beg for food when they encountered disasters and became starving ghosts.

Moreover, he did not use ghosts and magic to obtain food, but only had to steal it. This kind of crime is much smaller.

When Li Xiuyuan walked out, the shopkeeper outside hurriedly asked, "Master, how is the situation?"

He saw Li Xiuyuan talking to the air and the wall in the store before, as if talking to someone, but he couldn't hear any sound, only heard Li Xiuyuan talking to himself, which surprised him.

It seems that there are really ghosts in my store.

But seeing Li Xiuyuan's calm and unafraid look, the shopkeeper was not so flustered.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Shopkeeper, a few starved ghosts hid in your store. They were starved to death because they had no food in life, and there was no one to sacrifice to them after death, so they were so hungry that they hid in your store to eat." For a few days, I hope you don’t blame them. You can set up a banquet, put six paper figurines, offer sacrifices, and send the paper figurines to the temple to be burned at night, then this strange thing will be calmed down. .”

"I remember it, but I don't know which temple to send the paper dolls to burn?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "The small temple newly built by my Li family will do just fine."

The newly built small temple is dedicated to Tieshan. Li Zhong and his loyal guards who died to protect themselves are now serving as Yin soldiers, taking care of all the ghosts and ghosts in this place.

The shopkeeper nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Although the business has been affected in the past few days, don't worry about it. Although you lost six days of business, you will get more in the future. It is guaranteed to exceed the business money of these six days. Such a thing is worth doing. For others, it may be difficult to get it." Li Xiuyuan said.

Although the shopkeeper didn't understand very well, he still responded repeatedly.

"Okay, don't disturb the shopkeeper, you are doing business, and I will come to your place to eat next time." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Master, let's go." The shopkeeper hurriedly saluted again.

However, the treasurer of the steamed stuffed bun shop reminded Li Xiuyuan.

On the way, he thought to himself: "There used to be a Town God's Temple in Guobei City to control everything, large and small, but this Guobei City does not have a decent temple, whether Tieshan or Li Zhong's temple, those two blue faces No matter the black-faced Yin soldiers, they are just ancestral halls, and they are not really serious temples. It seems that it is necessary to build a temple here to manage ghosts and gods, otherwise such things will happen again."

"However, building a temple is too troublesome. By the way, Lanruo Temple is now deserted. The monks in the temple are dying and fleeing. Rather than abandoning it there, I would buy Lanruo Temple with money and then repair it. Turn Lanruo Temple into a temple."

Without a temple, it is like a place without a government, how can there be no chaos.

Now that there are more and more ghosts in the mountains and fields, such a place is indispensable.

Where there are ghost soldiers and ghost patrols here, there are starving ghosts haunting, and other places can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan felt that it was necessary to implement this matter immediately.

As soon as he returned to the house, he was immediately called by his father.

Li Dafu looked at Li Xiuyuan with a strange expression: "My son, I haven't returned home for the past two days and nights, where did I go?"

Li Xiuyuan didn't talk about going to Lanruo Temple before, so Li Dafu didn't know that Li Xiuyuan went to Lanruo Temple to eliminate demons, otherwise Li Xiuyuan would not be allowed to go out no matter what.

"My son visited a colleague and friend last night. He was a talented scholar named Ning Caichen. He talked with him about poetry and poetry for two nights. Therefore, he came back late and asked his father to punish him." He opened his eyes. tell nonsense.

Now it's time for Ning Caichen to take the blame again.

"Well, that's right. It's a good thing that there are great scholars in talking and laughing, and there are no white people in communication. My son should walk around with them more, walk around, and become an official in the temple in the future. This classmate friend is extremely important." Li Dafu shook his head and read. A line of poetry has a bit of a Confucian temperament.

I don't know when he learned these two sentences.

"Yes. My child has written it down." Li Xiuyuan also respectfully agreed.

Li Dafu changed his subject again; "But having said that, my son, do you know that a coffin was brought to the house last night? When the coffin was delivered, my father was also shocked, thinking that someone in the house had passed away Well, it turned out that it wasn't someone from the Li family who died."

"." Li Xiuyuan wanted to find a reason.

But found that the matter of the coffin is indeed hard to explain, so he just had to bite the bullet and say: "That's Qingmei's coffin, it was specially moved by the boy."

Li Dafu also knew something about Qingmei, she was a woman who adored her son, died in an accident, otherwise she would have passed away and become the wife and concubine of the Li family.

Because of this incident, the Li family also paid a pair of golden locks.

Sure enough, this still can't be determined by the nature of the son. Can Jinsuo randomly give it to his wife? It's for Ping's wife.

"So it's that woman's coffin. What is my son doing with her coffin? After all, she hasn't passed the family yet, so she's not a member of the Li family." Li Dafu said, his attitude was obvious, and he didn't recognize Qingmei's identity .

Li Xiuyuan said: "Since I have made a private decision for life, I should keep my promise. It's just the way of life. Besides, didn't my father always teach the child to be honest? Qingmei is already the child's wife and concubine, and the child thinks that she is already a member of the Li family. It should be moved into the graveyard of the Li family."

"My son's words are also justified." Li Dafu thought for a while: "Forget it, you can decide this matter, but there are some things that can't be delayed any longer. The two maids around you should also accept them. dragged."

"Yes, my child understands." Li Xiuyuan said.

He shook his head with a smile in his heart, it seemed that his father was still firm in the matter of passing on the family line.

Everything can be compromised, but this matter cannot be compromised.

But this is also understandable. After all, the Li family has been passed down to me for at least four generations. If something happens to me, the Li family will really die.

Forget it, today is not as good as hitting the sun, so I took the two people around me tonight.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan's heart couldn't help but thump.
