108: One hundred thousand taels can afford it
When Chu Yang saw that he was also implicated, he almost lost his temper.
He glanced at Nan Li sadly.
But my sister is my own, can I blame her?
Of course not!
Although Chu Hanlin didn't let Nan Li get up early, she got up at nine o'clock the next day and went to the elementary school field to practice with her eldest brother and fourth brother.
Chu Yan does not follow the path of a military general, but he is a member of the Chu family, so he cannot be unable to hold a sword by then, right?
Therefore, he was forced to get up at the eleventh hour.
Fortunately, Chu Yan's talent was not bad. After getting up early and doing the horse stance, he learned the swordsmanship taught by Chu Ye so smoothly that Chu Yang couldn't help but praise him when he saw it.
Nan Li thought to herself that it was a good thing that her second brother went to Luoyang, otherwise if he had to get up at midnight, he would definitely cry to death holding the quilt.
However, as soon as Chu Shuo came to mind, his letter came.
It turned out to be the Qian family who had traveled 800 miles to deliver it in a hurry, changing people and horses along the way.
Nan Li opened it and frowned.
When Zhimi saw Nan Li's serious expression, he went over to take a look and was also shocked.
"How could there be an evildoer causing trouble?" Zhimi's body felt slightly cold.
The letter stated that they returned to Luoyang, but evil spirits appeared in Luoyang City.
The evil spirit would snatch a young girl to his lair every ten days. The prefect did not believe in the evil spirit and led his officers and soldiers up the mountain to encircle and suppress her. Who knew that not long after hundreds of officers and soldiers went up the mountain, the screams continued.
In the end, the prefect escaped with a few officers and soldiers. He was in a coma for several days. When he opened his eyes, he said that the people on the mountain were evil spirits.
However, this time the siege angered the evil spirit. He massacred the villagers of a village as a warning and asked the prefect to send a girl to the mountain every ten days.
The prefect had no choice but to agree.
Naturally, the people were reluctant to give away their own daughters, so the girls had to be chosen from among the households in Luoyang City.
A few days ago, I happened to draw the daughter of the Qian family.
That is, Chu Shuo's cousin.
The Qian family was rich and wanted to use three hundred taels of silver to let an old woman's daughter go up the mountain instead.
Although Chu Shuo thought it would be easier to do things if she had money, she didn't want to do this kind of thing.
He thought that the sixth sister was so powerful that she should be able to deal with this evil spirit, so he immediately asked someone to deliver the message.
This is a letter from three days ago.
There are still three days until the day when the little maid goes up the mountain.
Nan Li and Zhi Mi were shocked. It wasn't that they couldn't deal with the evil spirits, but that according to ancient records, there had always been a world of cultivation in this world.
Demons and ghosts are different. Most demons absorb human energy to increase their strength.
Thousands of years ago, in the world of cultivation, under the leadership of an immortal, most of the evil spirits were killed, and the remaining evil spirits were expelled to the wilderness.
Since then, the world of cultivation, the human world and the wild wilderness have established barriers with each other.
If there is no chaos in the human world, there will be no escape from the world of cultivation.
But the evil spirits that were originally driven into the wilderness actually appeared in the human world!
Zhimi guessed: "Senior sister, could it be that something was omitted thousands of years ago?"
Although there were many classics on how to eliminate and catch demons in the temple, Zhimi had only glanced at them briefly.
Hey, how could those monks have missed it?
He only knows how to catch ghosts and eliminate demons, but he has no experience!
"It's also possible that someone is pretending to be evil and harming people. I have to go and have a look." Nan Li said.
The last days were full of wars, and there was a lot of resentment. Some evil spirits were reborn based on their resentment. She had already fought against them.
But now that she has no spiritual beads, she cannot use her spiritual power. If she is really evil, she doesn't know if she can defeat him.
"I'll go too!" Tomomi said.
"If you haven't dealt with evil spirits before, don't come with me. I have another important matter here that I need your help with." Nan Li said, and then told Zhi Mi what to do.
Zhimi frowned. He knew that his senior sister didn't want to follow him into danger.
Thinking of his senior sister's usual heroic appearance, he decided not to follow her and hold her back.
"Then senior sister, be careful." Zhimi warned.
"Don't worry." Nan Li nodded.
With Chiya helping her, she quickly packed her things.
She said goodbye to Mrs. Shen and used the teleportation charm to go out.
With her current Taoist skills, the teleportation talisman can reach about five miles outside the city.
Going further ahead is the inn, where you can buy a good horse and continue on your journey.
She traveled almost day and night and arrived at Luoyang City three days later.
Because of evil spirits, many people have left.
But as long as a household with a daughter left the city, he would be intercepted and killed on the way.
After trying this several times, no one dared to leave Luoyang City with their daughter.
There are some cruel parents who just abandon their daughter and run away.
The soldiers guarding the city were horrified when they saw a woman coming from Nanli.
He wiped his eyes and said anxiously: "Hey! Girl, why did you come to Luoyang City?!"
He was right, she was indeed a young and beautiful girl.
Nan Li knew what he was worried about, so she curved her lips and smiled: "Come and get rid of the demon."
The soldier was stunned and looked at Nan Li in surprise, "Wha...what?"
"Exterminate demons." Nan Li answered again, her voice clear, "Do you want to check the directions?"
The soldiers saw that she was dressed simply, with only a wooden hairpin in her bun. She did look a bit like an exorcist.
His eyes were hot, and tears almost came out of his eyes: "Really? Master Tian, do you know that the evil spirit has harmed more than ten women, and tonight it is the turn of the Qian family girl!"
Nan Li nodded and hurried on his way day and night, and finally he was not late.
She asked: "Didn't the prefect report this matter to the court?"
"I reported it, but I don't know why there has been no reply from the memorial." The soldier's eyes were red.
Nan Li thought for a while, probably because the hunting palace was delayed, so the memorial had not yet been submitted to Emperor Mu Wu.
Fortunately, the second brother happened to return to Luoyang, otherwise this matter would have dragged on for an unknown period of time and how many women would have died.
She asked the soldiers to help lead the way to Qian's Mansion. Sure enough, Qian's Mansion was the largest wealthy businessman in Luoyang. The mansion was large and luxuriously decorated, but the door was closed and it looked desolate.
Nan Li went to knock on the door. Not long after, a boy opened the door. He looked at Nan Li's face through the crack in the door. He shook his head, and then asked in a trembling voice: "But... but Chu Liu
Miss?"
"It's me." Nan Li nodded.
The boy hurriedly opened the door and shouted loudly, "The sixth lady is here! The sixth lady is here!"
When Nan Li entered Qian's Mansion, she heard chaotic footsteps in the mansion.
Then, a group of people walked to the front yard, and she saw Chu Shuo and Aunt Qian at a glance.
"Sixth sister!"
"Miss Six!"
The two of them were overjoyed to see Nan Li arriving in time.
But when Chu Shuo saw that she was a little tired and dusty, she couldn't help but feel distressed, "You've been traveling day and night, right? Are you tired?"
"Second brother, I'm okay." Nan Li nodded slightly.
Aunt Qian introduced her from the side, "Miss Six, this is my eldest brother, he is the head of the Qian family."
At the same time, Chu Shuo whispered in her ear: "My uncle is rich and generous. If you can solve the evil this time, he can also afford one hundred thousand taels, not to mention fifty thousand taels."
