Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 668
Looking at the wet footprints of ghosts all over the yard, and the smell of ashes and mutton remaining in the air.

It is conceivable how many ghosts came to this courtyard last night.

Among them are house ghosts worshiped by people, water ghosts who died in vain in the water, and some gods who enjoyed incense and their morality is not low. At least they have practiced for hundreds of years. None of the ghosts is simple. Goods, either first-class ghost generals, or ghost kings.

Li Xiuyuan frowned. He looked around and saw that the water tank where the white lotus was stocked had been cracked, and the white lotus inside was missing.

Look at the opposite room again.

But the door on the opposite side opened, and rows of wet footprints entered the room along the steps.

Li Xiuyuan walked over to take a look, but saw that the female ghost Xiao Xie was no longer in the house, and even the girl Qiu Rong who stayed overnight last night was also missing, and the house was already empty.

"Lei Gong, what happened last night, are there any ghosts and gods in the world who dare to break into this courtyard in front of you, and beat up a female ghost and a living person?"

He strode out of the house and looked at the big scarlet rooster in the courtyard.

Lei Gong lowered his head with an extremely frustrated look, he just gurgled twice and didn't try to argue.

"With your ability, if a ghost with less than 500 years of practice enters your eyes, it is tantamount to feeding. Your ghost-eating ability makes ghosts and gods feel extremely fearful, and I didn't hear your crowing reminder at night. With your It's impossible not to wake me up, unless you weren't in court at all last night

Staying in the courtyard, or being lured away deliberately by someone. "

Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly and he said seriously.

"Forget it, now that things have happened, I blame you for being unfit for guarding, and I feel like I'm shirking responsibility. There is also the reason why I slept too comfortably yesterday. I thought that there would be nothing wrong with painting the ground as a prison, but I didn't think about the safety of other people. I don't think well, I'll reflect on myself

I will make up for my own mistakes. "

He thought that most of the ghosts and gods in the world were targeting him, so he was very vigilant and neglected to protect his surroundings.

"Han Meng, Wu Xiang, are you here?"

Li Xiuyuan suddenly discovered that the guards who were stationed nearby in shifts at twelve hours on weekdays were also gone.

He called but no one answered.

"Did something happen to the people in the Escort?"

With this question in mind, he immediately walked to the front yard.

But as soon as they got to the front yard, they saw soldiers lying on the ground, in the lobby, and in the wing rooms. They were pale and weak, as if they were suffering from some kind of illness.

At this moment, Han Meng just walked in from outside the escort agency, and several doctors came behind him.

"Young Master, are you awake?" Han Meng immediately greeted Li Xiuyuan and saluted respectfully.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Han Meng, what's going on? Why did all the armored soldiers I brought and the heads of the Escorts fall ill overnight?"

"This, this, Eldest Young Master, the younger one doesn't know either. The younger one woke up last night and saw that all the brothers were sick. The younger one felt that the matter was urgent, so he went out and invited a doctor to see the brothers. , and plan to report this matter to the young master later." Han Meng said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "Your approach is not wrong, and the treatment is indeed very timely. Doctors, you are all famous doctors in the capital. From what you have seen, what kind of disease did my subordinates suffer from? All of them fell ill overnight. fall down?"

Then he saluted the doctors that Han Meng had invited.

A doctor bowed back, and then said: "Young master, according to what this old man sees, this should be a symptom of drowning, plus wind and cold entering the body, it is not a particularly serious emergency."

"Then I'll have to ask some doctors for diagnosis and treatment." Li Xiuyuan said.

But another doctor shook his head and said: "Although all the patients did have symptoms of wind-cold and drowning, it is impossible for them all to fall ill overnight, and it seems that these young master's subordinates have fallen into the water. How did the illness of the man who fell into the water appear? The old man thinks it should be

It's an evil spirit entering the body and suddenly becoming ill. I'm afraid that your family has provoked something unclean. "

"That's reasonable." The other doctors nodded.

They heal patients, and they don't shy away from things about ghosts and gods, unlike some scholars who keep silent and confuse their spirits at every turn.

Li Xiuyuan's expression sank; "Can the doctors heal you well?"

"Old man, try it first, and then prescribe the right medicine after confirming the symptoms." A doctor walked up to an escort leader who was slumped on the ground, looked at his face, his tongue coating, and felt his pulse.

Finally, he touched the escort's lower abdomen.

However, he saw that the bodyguard's lower abdomen was swollen, and his body exuded a fishy smell, and he looked like a drowning person.

The doctor said: "Doctor Wang, help me, you have to induce the patient to vomit first."

That doctor Wang nodded, and the two of them helped up the bodyguard, and after some massaging, they slapped him hard on the back.

Immediately, the pale escort head bent over and vomited,

A puddle of foul-smelling river water spewed out, with river grass and river mud in it, which looked like symptoms of a drowning person.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes were serious, because he knew that his subordinates were all in the escort agency yesterday and night, and they didn't go out at all. How could they drown?Even if a few people go out and drown, it is impossible for all of them to drown.

"The water ghosts are making trouble. This is because some water ghosts broke into my bodyguard and caused trouble and harmed people." He had already guessed the general reason for the incident in his heart.

"Wu Xiang, where is Wu Xiang? Is he also sick?"

Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan asked again.

Han Meng replied: "Back to Eldest Young Master, Wu Xiang didn't fall ill, he, he was just sleeping soundly."

"In this way, you two are the only ones in the escort agency who didn't fall ill?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Han Meng said: "Sha Jin's bodyguard did not fall ill either."

"Really?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly.

He understood why these people did not fall ill. Sha Jin is a martial arts practitioner, with strong qi and blood, and strong yang energy. He has also practiced the iron cloth shirt method, which makes it difficult for ghosts and gods to harm him. Han Meng's fate is extraordinary. He once looked at Han Meng Its aura is like a dragon, and it has the potential of a prince and general. As for Wu Xiang, that idiot

There are four elephants to protect the body, which are infinitely powerful and difficult to defeat ghosts and monsters.

Don't talk about murdering him, it's lucky not to be beaten to death by him.

I thought that there should be no accidents with these extraordinary people around me, but I didn't expect to become like this overnight.

"Burn a letter and call Ma Dong Niu Er and the others back." Li Xiuyuan ordered immediately.

He used the mirror on Ma Dong Niu Er's body, and he wanted to take the mirror to see what happened here last night.

"Hey, hey, there's no need to call that bull and horse. They won't be back for a while. They should have left the capital at this moment. It's really hard work to catch that trafficker. .”

Suddenly, at this time, a whispering voice suddenly came from the dim lobby.

Others didn't hear it, they just thought it was some insect buzzing, but Li Xiuyuan understood that it was ghost language.

"Ok?"

Li Xiuyuan looked back, with golden light shining in his eyes, but he saw a soldier wearing a waist knife and rusty armor sitting on the main seat in the lobby at some point. The soldier's face was pale and his body was wet. From time to time, a drop of water fell.

His presence made the entire lobby look dark and damp.

"When will water ghosts go ashore and make trouble?" He said coldly.

But the soldier smiled sullenly: "Enough of the Taoism, is there any place in the world that we water ghosts can't go to? Maybe one day when you are drinking tea, a water ghost will lie dormant in it and enter you. In the abdomen, you can't survive, you can't die, you have some ability,

How dare you injure the three ghost generals, you really don't take our king seriously. "

"Yesterday's incident is just to teach you some lessons. It is true that you are capable, but it seems that the people around you are not as capable as you. Looking at the appearance of your subordinates, it is not easy to suffer from ghost illness. "

Hearing the words, Li Xiuyuan showed his killing intent, and strode into the lobby: "It's wrong for mere water ghosts to stay in the human world, and it's even more wrong to do evil and harm others. Now you dare to be rampant in front of me. I will punish you now. Turn around!" Then go to the ghost foreman to settle accounts."

Before he finished speaking, there was a flash of thunder in his hand.

He was going to kill the water ghost immediately with Lei Fa, without giving him any chance to repent.

"Hold on."

But the soldier said with a disapproving smile: "This is just a water ghost substitute for me. Even if you kill me, you will only make me lose some morals, and you can't really kill me, and I will leave you alone." Here is nothing more than passing a few words to my king, you killed me, who
Coming to call you again?Don't you want to know the whereabouts of that female ghost and that girl across from your room? "

Speaking of this matter, Li Xiuyuan held back his killing intent for a while, and said, "Tell me, what does the ghost foreman have to say to me."

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you for trouble, it's just that you offended the three ghost generals under my king's command. Today's incident is just to teach you some lessons. If you are willing to set up three hundred altars at night, prepare three hundred altars for each altar. Livestock offerings, ten altars of fine wine, twenty pairs of joss sticks, plus three

For ten catties of paper money, what happened last time can be forgiven, and your female ghost and girl will also be returned. Don't worry, they are all fine now, but I can't guarantee that they will be fine tomorrow, hehe. "

The soldier said with a deep smile.

Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "What if I don't agree?"

"If you don't agree, things like today will happen again. No matter how capable you are alone, you can only protect yourself well. Can you protect others? If you don't want to cause trouble, just do it obediently. Who told you Offended my king." The water ghost soldier said poorly.

"Okay, I promise you, there are three hundred tables of offerings. I think there are a lot of ghosts and gods under the command of the ghost foreman, so when will you come to pick them up?"

Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and instead of being angry when he heard this, he put away Lei Fa and agreed.

"Haha, that's right. You are a person who understands spells, so you naturally know how powerful my king is. Don't worry, as long as you prepare properly, our people will come to enjoy incense and offerings at night, because you know the time." I'm going to toss you today, remember, get ready before nightfall,

Otherwise, do so at your own risk. "

After the water ghost soldier finished speaking, his face was full of excitement and pride, and turned into a puddle of sewage, which flowed into the gap in the lobby floor, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.
