Although Li Xiuyuan left, the ten-day appointment he left behind was still in Minister Chu's heart.
The Chu family cemetery has been in operation for many years and has protected the Chu family. Not only were the Chu family's powerful landlords in Guobei City when they were alive, but they could also enjoy incense and offerings when they died and turned into ghosts. They could still dominate and dominate even the people in the city.
The City God did not dare to take action against the Chu Family Cemetery, and could only acquiesce in the existence of the Chu Family Cemetery.
I thought that such good days could last forever, but who knew that Li Xiuyuan came today.
"A born saint, a born saint..." Chu Shilang was worried and sighed repeatedly.
The word saint weighed heavily on his heart like a big stone, making him breathless.
"We must find a way to move the Chu family cemetery within ten days, otherwise the saint will get angry and really want to destroy us ghosts and snake gods." Chu Shilang said helplessly.
"Master, you are too ambitious for others and destroy your own prestige. Our Chu family is a famous family of officials in the Guobeicheng area. We usually want money and power, but the ghosts, gods and monsters nearby
Who doesn't sell our Chu family's thin noodles? A mere brat wants to force our Chu family to move. Master, you agree, but I won't agree."
Mrs. Chu walked over slowly and said.
Chu Shilang said angrily: "What do you know about a Taoist woman? Li Xiuyuan has a very noble destiny and is a born saint. If we go against him, we are seeking death. You have also seen the previous situation. Mr. Liu and Fox Girl have a lot of people."
The ghosts who have practiced Taoism for hundreds of years can't be beaten even if they meet Taoists on weekdays. Now in front of Li Xiuyuan, one was hacked to death and the other was strangled to death. If they are like this, what tricks can us ghosts do?"
Mrs. Chu said: "Although Li Xiuyuan has some abilities, Mr. Shi, don't forget that he is a human being. As long as he is a human being, he will be born, old, sick and die, and there will be flaws. Moreover, this born saint can only become a saint while he is alive. If he is
If you die, that may not be the case."
"what you up to?"
Chu Shilang's eyes moved and he looked at her with some strange expression.
Mrs. Chu smiled; "We ghosts really can't do anything to Li Xiuyuan, but the same cannot be said for a living person. Since we can't deal with Li Xiuyuan, let's let someone who can deal with Li Xiuyuan take action."
"You mean those descendants who were entrusted to me by the dream?" Chu Shilang frowned.
"The Chu family has a great business and has connections with the government. If we can intercept and kill Li Xiuyuan outside the city, even if the Li family comes to cause trouble, we can still deal with it, right?" Mrs. Chu said.
Chu Shilang flicked his sleeves and said: "You are playing with fire and burning yourself. You don't know what a born saint is. If a born saint is so easy to kill, there won't be so many saints in the past to clean up the world. Li Xiuyuan must be
With the protection of the underworld, we can't kill him."
"How do you know if you don't try? Do you really want to follow Li Xiuyuan's request to move all the ghosts in our Chu family cemetery to the underworld? You know what the underworld is, sir. Even if you go to the underworld, you will be safe.
It will take a while, but sooner or later, the ghost king of the underworld, Yama, will take it away. No matter how much freedom is lost by then, I am afraid that the lives of the whole family will not be saved."
"The left and right are dead. Why not kill this Li Xiuyuan now while we still have room. Once he dies, everything will stop. If not, we can move to the underworld and it will not affect the overall situation." Mrs. Chu said.
When Minister Chu heard this, he immediately became a little moved.
After all, he was reluctant to move into the underworld like this. How could he let go of such a huge family property just as he wanted to?
But if he really wanted to intercept and kill this born saint, to be honest, Chu Shilang still didn't have that much courage in his heart.
However, Madam Chu's words made him feel that this matter was somewhat feasible. Madam was right. Even if this matter failed, it would not be too late to move into the underworld. This human saint could not chase him to the underworld.
After thinking for a while, Mr. Chu gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, what are you going to do about intercepting and killing Li Xiuyuan?"
"Such important matters should naturally be left to the people closest to us. Our grandson Chu Tian is capable of literary and military skills, and he is also good at riding horses and hunting. Why not let him bring some friends and invite Li Xiuyuan to go hunting in a few days?
?And during this hunting, if someone accidentally hurts someone, I believe the government will not pursue it too much." Mrs. Chu said, with a bit of coldness in her eyes.
"Does this matter need to involve our grandson?" Chu Shilang frowned.
"Does the master have a better candidate? Should he just send the guards to rush to Li Xiuyuan's house and kill him? When the guard moves, Li Xiuyuan will definitely feel wary when he sees it. He will definitely not give up when the time comes. Besides, there are also people around Li Xiuyuan.
Guard. If it were Chu Tian who went hunting instead, it would be different. Li Xiuyuan would not be alerted, and even if it failed, he would have an excuse."
"Furthermore, I don't believe in outsiders, and it's ridiculous for ghosts and gods to entrust me with dreams. Except for our direct descendants of the Chu family, how can anyone else do their best to handle this matter? Now, without further delay, what we need is
It’s time, if we wait for a few days, it will be too late even if we want to take action.”
Chu Shilang nodded and said: "This matter makes some sense. Both the left and the right are involved. It's the same for everyone. Since others are worried about it, it's better to let my grandson take action. As soon as the matter comes up, I will
Give him some more tips so that he can advance and retreat freely, and also leave a way out."
"Since the master has agreed, I will go and give him a dream." Mrs. Chu said.
"This makes sense, but there are still a lot of things to pay attention to at this time. I'm not worried if you go, so I'll go."
After Chu Shilang finished speaking, he strode out of the palace, then turned into a gust of wind and disappeared into the night sky.
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan did not know about this matter.
After he left the Chu Cemetery with his two guards, they did not immediately return to the city because it was getting too late.
"Young Master, it's strange to say that when we used this wooden stick to beat a ghost, the ghost was so beaten that it screamed repeatedly. It hurt more than hitting a human body. Is this wooden root really so magical? It can actually deal with ghosts."
The guard on the road looked at the wooden stick in his hand and asked curiously.
Li Xiuyuan said: "The willow wood itself can fight ghosts, and this willow wood was cut from the body of the willow tree spirit. It has miraculous effects on fighting ghosts. You two should carry this stick with you. If you see ghosts in the future, you will have weapons to deal with ghosts."
"Yes, young master."
When the two guards heard this, they were overjoyed. They didn't expect that this willow tree was a treasure.
Of course, this thing is somewhat of a treasure to ordinary people, but its effect is too small and it can only fight ghosts. It is just an ordinary wooden stick on weekdays.
Although they returned to the city in the middle of the night and the city gate was closed, fortunately, Li Xiuyuan had met the old soldier guarding the city gate before. After calling his name, the old soldier opened the city gate for them very cooperatively.
Of course, the hard-earned money of ten taels of silver is unavoidable.
The old pawn took the money with a smile on his face. He just hoped that he could do this kind of job more often. After all, it was so easy to make money like this, and Li Xiuyuan was quite generous in his dealings.
"Young Master, the young Master Chu who had a knife hidden in his smile does not look like a good person. Young Master should be careful about this person and not be deceived by that ghost." The guard thought of something and said worriedly.
Li Xiuyuan said: "I didn't believe that Minister Chu. I agreed with him for ten days. It just gave him some preparation time and gave me some preparation time. If he goes back to the underworld peacefully, everything will be easy. If he doesn't want to go,
I will send them there myself. Okay, don’t mention this matter. Ghosts can hear sounds, so some of your words will not be heard by ghosts."
"Yes, young master." The guard nodded and stopped asking any more questions.
Just when it was time to go back home.
Li Xiuyuan heard the sound of sharpening knives coming from near the mansion again.
"Why is it so late, and there is still the sound of sharpening a knife? It's not the same person as last time, is it?"
The guard looked for the sound and said: "It's coming from that house. It should be the person from last time. This person is a bit weird. He sharpens his knife at midnight every day. I'm afraid there may be some problems. And he's near our house. It's very difficult."
Young Master, do you want to go and find out what's going on? I'm afraid that this person is sharpening his knife at night and wants to do something evil. If I don't ask for the reason, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well that night."
"Yes, although the eldest young master is not afraid of such things, we can't help but feel a little uneasy when we hear the sound of sharpening knives every night. We encountered it again today. Why not ask Tantan? It's best if nothing happens. If something happens, it's okay.
Solve it early." Another guard said.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment, nodded and said: "That makes sense. Now that I'm here, let's go and ask why."
Immediately, he knocked on the door of the courtyard with his guards.
As soon as the door rang, the sound of sharpening knives in the yard stopped.
After a while, a voice sounded from inside the door, with a hint of nervousness: "Who, who?"
"We are the guards of the Li Mansion next door, please open the door." A guard knocked on the door.
Hearing that it was the neighbor next door, the honest middle-aged man opened the door cautiously: "Why are you knocking on my door in the middle of the night when you are awake?"
Li Xiuyuan bowed at this time and said: "I'm really sorry for bothering you late at night. It's just that I was waiting to get home late and heard the sound of sharpening knives coming from next door, so I was curious and came to ask."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I disturbed the neighbor next door. I just won't sharpen my knife during this time." The honest middle-aged man apologized quickly.
Li Xiuyuan saw that this person did not look like a villain, so he did not continue to ask further questions; "That's good, then I won't disturb the neighbors and you can rest. Take your leave."
"wait wait wait."
The honest middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then quickly chased after Li Xiuyuan when he was almost gone.
"Stop." Seeing him rushing towards him, the two guards hurriedly stopped him.
Li Xiuyuan signaled that the two guards were okay and said, "Is there anything else that can happen to this neighbor?"
The honest middle-aged man hesitated again, and then asked: "Looking at the young master, he must be a scholar. Can you do me a favor?"
"What are you busy with?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"Can you write a petition for me?" the honest middle-aged man said.
"Do you have a grievance?" Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.
The honest middle-aged man nodded, with a bit of sadness, anger and helplessness in his expression.
I'm really sorry. I have something to do today, so I can only write one chapter. I'll make up for it tomorrow.
