The ghost king gave this cloth bag to Li Xiuyuan. After some attempts, he found that it had no effect at all.
I don’t know if this thing requires some formula to use, or if it requires Taoism.
I thought it was a treasure, but now it seems that I can't use it at the moment.
"That's all, if you don't need it, don't use it for now. Let the master study it later." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.
My master is a Taoist, so he is probably very interested in this. Anyway, this is a treasure.
Perhaps Li Xiuyuan's experiment gave the thin male ghost some time to think.
At this moment, the male ghost didn't know where it got the strength to stand up, and quickly turned around and ran towards Zhu Yu on the bed, and then turned into a puff of black smoke and got into Zhu Yu's nose and mouth.
"If you want to get rid of me, then I will hide in Zhu Yu's belly now. I'll see what you do. If you can, cut his belly open, otherwise I won't get out." Zhu Yu's belly
The voice of the skinny male ghost came from inside.
"Li, Brother Li, save me."
Zhu Yu couldn't care less about his nausea at this time and was so frightened that he hurriedly asked for help.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "You kid hides in a person's belly and thinks you can live in peace. It's really ridiculous. Little do you know that you are seeking your own death."
After saying that, he strode over and patted Zhu Yu's bulging belly.
Immediately, a miserable scream sounded from Zhu Yu's stomach: "You, you can't destroy me. I am a servant ghost under the sect of the Minister of Chu."
But before he could finish his words, a stream of smelly black smoke came out of Zhu Yu's nostrils.
Zhu Yu burped and spit out the last breath of stinky breath. He felt that the flatulence in his abdomen immediately subsided, but he still felt that there was stench coming out of his mouth, which made people feel sick.
"Okay, the ghost is gone. Brother Zhu, you can rest assured now." Li Xiuyuan said.
He is not close to ghosts and gods. The little ghost is hiding in Zhu Yu's belly. He is entering the cell and seeking death. Even if he does not take off the jade belt, he can still destroy the male ghost through his belly.
"Thank you very much, Brother Li, for your life-saving grace. I am deeply grateful." Zhu Yu said with tears of gratitude.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Ghosts are harmful to people. Since I have met them, I will naturally destroy them. How can such an evil ghost be allowed to live freely in the world? By the way, you are haunted by a female ghost. Are the other scholars the same?"
Did you also meet a female ghost?"
Zhu Yu was immediately shocked by this reminder and said: "Brother Li reminded me that I was saved by Brother Li and got rid of the female ghost... No, the entanglement of the evil ghost, but the other brothers are afraid
I am not so lucky. I am probably still entangled by female ghosts at this moment. I asked Brother Li to help and save them. Those are evil ghosts who are harmful to people. They are trying to kill you. They are not at all.
What a female ghost, a lustful ghost."
"Now you know that it is an evil spirit that harms people?" Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
Zhu Yu was extremely ashamed: "Brother Li is right. I have only now realized that all this is my own fault. As a scholar with bad moral character, I have been deceived by evil spirits. It is really a waste of time to read the books of sages and sages."
.”
"It's not too late for you to wake up. Let's do this. Tomorrow I will send someone to inquire about them and see how they are doing now. If they are really confused by evil spirits, I will naturally help to get rid of those evil spirits.
You should have a good rest now and I won't disturb you anymore." Li Xiuyuan said.
"I can't thank you enough for saving my life. Brother Li has shown me great kindness and kindness. Please allow me to repay you in the future." Zhu Yu gave another salute.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It's a small effort, but it's a bit serious to say it's a life-saving grace."
After saying that, he told Zhu Yu to have a good rest and stop thinking, and then left the guest room.
"Young Master, what happened? I heard a shrill scream from here before."
At this time, the two guards who heard the ghost scream hurried over.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It's okay, it's a little devil making trouble. I killed it easily. You can go and rest. By the way, help me spy on a few people in the city tomorrow."
"Yes, young master."
The two guards responded, but after Li Xiuyuan left, they looked at each other again.
I didn't expect that the eldest young master would be killing ghosts in the middle of the night.
When Li Xiuyuan returned to his yard, he thought of what happened to Zhu Yu before and couldn't help laughing.
Being confused by a female ghost is understandable.
But Zhu Yu was deceived by a male ghost. This man and the male ghost lingered on the bed for several nights. If this was spread, he would probably laugh out loud.
But it was enough for him to laugh about it. As a scandal, he still had to keep this matter in his heart and not spread it out, lest it ruin people's reputation.
The next morning, Li Xiuyuan ordered two guards to go to the city to inquire about the situation of several other scholars.
Like Zhu Yu, they also went to the ghost market, and Zhu Yu said they were also confused by the female ghost.
Well, it's hard to say whether they are female ghosts or not. In short, their experience is the same as Zhu Yu's.
Now that Zhu Yu had met such an end, almost having his essence and yang energy drained away by a male ghost, as a scholar who met by chance, Li Xiuyuan felt that it was necessary to take care of him, at least not to cause death.
"Master, why are you in such a good mood today? You laugh from time to time. Do you think of something interesting?"
In the study, Xiao Die, who was accompanying Xiu Yuan, saw Li Xiu Yuan laughing and couldn't help but curiously asked.
Li Xiuyuan coughed twice: "I thought of something interesting, so I couldn't help laughing."
"Tell me about it, slave." Xiaodie said coquettishly.
After staying with Li Xiuyuan for a long time, this little maid became more and more intimate. She didn't regard herself as an outsider at all. Although she was usually well-behaved, she would always act coquettishly towards him, just like a little woman.
"It's better you don't know about this." Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled.
Xiaodie saw that her young master didn't say anything, so she didn't ask further questions.
"Master, Uncle Lu said that the person the master wanted to inquire about this morning has heard about it." At this time, Du Chunhua came in with tea and said.
"Oh. What news did you find out?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
Du Chunhua said: "Uncle Lu said that the person the young master wants to find out has just left the city and I don't know where he went."
Out of town?
Li Xiuyuan raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window.
It's already dusk.
Judging from this time, those scholars could not wait to leave the city and go to the ghost market to find their respective female ghosts.
"I thought they would wake up, but I didn't expect that Zhu Yu was the only one who woke up early. Now they probably think that the beauty they met is a human being." Li Xiuyuan shook his head and put down the book in his hand.
"You guys stay at home tonight, I'll go out and I may come back very late."
Du Chunhua said quietly: "Master, you have to go out again at night."
"I'm going to save people. I can't just watch some people die. You don't have to wait for me to come back tonight." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
"Yes, Master." Du Chunhua responded.
The ghost market was very close to the outside of the city, and there could not be any powerful monsters haunting it. However, for the sake of safety, he still carried a waist knife for self-defense, and also brought two guards with him.
in case.
However, when I walked out of the door and was about to leave the city along the street, I suddenly saw a lot of people surrounding a tea shop on the roadside, and more people continued to surround me.
"Come and see, there are people doing tricks there." A young man shouted to his companions to come over and watch the fun.
Li Xiuyuan was not interested at first, but when he glanced at it curiously, he suddenly let out a light sigh and couldn't help but move closer.
Taking advantage of his height, Li Xiuyuan saw a sloppy Taoist in tattered clothes where everyone was watching. The Taoist was holding a copper pot. Steam was still coming from the pot. It should be a pot of hot water.
The sloppy Taoist watered the ground with hot water, but he saw a tree bud sprouting out, and then it grew bigger and bigger. After a while, it grew into a large tree with lush branches. The tree blossomed and bore fruit in the blink of an eye.
It will soon bear fruit.
There were actually big yellow pears hanging on the tree.
People nearby were stunned and had never seen such a trick before.
"Haha, how does this pear look like, Pindao?" said the sloppy Taoist, pointing to the pear on the tree.
One of the people on the way came back to his senses and said: "Taoist master is good at the trick. This pear is good, but I don't know if it can be eaten. If you can't eat it, no matter how good the trick is, it won't be good."
"It's easy to do. Just pick one for you to try."
The sloppy Taoist climbed up the tree, picked pears one by one and threw them into the hands of nearby passers-by who were watching the fun.
These passers-by looked at me and I looked at you, and then boldly took a bite.
It is indeed sweet and delicious, a real pear.
"How does this pear taste?" the sloppy Taoist said with a smile.
"Good pears, sweet and delicious. Thank you so much, Taoist Master, for sending the pears." Passers-by who had eaten the pears repeatedly praised it.
Li Xiuyuan was also fascinated by the sight, but soon he frowned slightly and thought to himself: "It's not a blinding technique, it's a Taoist technique."
The deception was fake, he could see it at a glance, but the pear tree grew up, blossomed and bore fruit for real before his eyes. This was not something that could be done by deception.
"This is a truly profound Taoist priest. He is many times better than the bald Taoist who cheated him out of incense."
Just as he was thinking, the sloppy Taoist smiled at Li Xiuyuan and threw the best and biggest pineapple over.
Li Xiuyuan subconsciously took it in his hand.
"Hey, isn't this the scholar in front of Qingfeng Guan? Why are you watching magic tricks here?" A woman holding a child next to her couldn't help but greet Li Xiuyuan warmly when she saw him.
This woman is actually the woman whom Li Xiuyuan named her child at Qingfeng Temple a few days ago. She seems to be named Zhang.
Her son, Li Xiuyuan still remembers clearly, is named Zhang Yingjie.
"Is it you? But we are destined." Li Xiuyuan said.
Zhang smiled and said: "Scholar, you are so late that you must not know what's going on. But I know that the Taoist priest wanted to ask the pear merchant next to him to donate a pear, but the merchant refused. My man couldn't stand it.
I bought him a pear, but I didn't expect that this Taoist would do a trick and eat the pear, then keep the pear core and bury it in the soil. After pouring hot water on it, a pear tree grew. What do you think?
