Because he wandered around Lanruo Temple last night, Li Xiuyuan fell asleep late and did not fall asleep until late at night.
In the room next door, Tieshan, who was the nurse of the Li family, slept more cautiously, but at this moment he also fell asleep. He had a very real, but very strange dream.
In the dream, Tieshan was sleeping in this room. Suddenly, a gust of cool wind blew from the window, making him feel a little chilly. Then he got up and stood up, preparing to close the window and then come back to continue sleeping.
But when Tieshan walked to the window, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a red official uniform and an official hat standing outside the window. This middle-aged man seemed to be floating in the air, followed by several others.
These evil ghosts were wearing the clothes of government servants and seemed to be the subordinates of this middle-aged man.
"But Tieshan, the guardian of the Li family in Guobei County? I am the City God of Guobei City, and I am entrusting you with a dream. You and I are meeting each other in dreams." This official called himself the City God of Guobei City.
Tieshan had no doubts in his heart and said with some surprise: "Tieshan, the guardian of the little Li family, has met Lord City God."
"I, the City God, have something important that I need to inform Mr. Li. However, Mr. Li's life is very precious. We ghosts and gods cannot get close to him, so I can only trouble you to pass the message." The City God said.
"I don't know if there is anything I need to pass on to the eldest young master, and I also need to ask the Lord Cheng Huang for instructions." Tieshan cupped his hands and said.
The City God said, "There is a woman named Qingmei in Lanruo Temple. She will die tomorrow. I would like to ask Mr. Li to make preparations and take care of her funeral."
Tieshan said in surprise: "I dare to ask Lord Cheng Huang, what is the relationship between this woman named Qingmei and my eldest young master, but he actually bothered Lord Cheng Huang to come and inform him personally."
"This is a secret that must not be leaked." The City God said, "It is getting late today. I have to go back to Guo Beicheng to handle government affairs. I will stay here soon. Let's go."
After the city god finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled, and immediately he and several evil ghost servants around him disappeared into a gust of cool wind.
As the cool breeze blew, Tieshan suddenly woke up with a jolt.
He immediately opened his eyes wide, only to find that he was lying on the wooden couch with the quilt well covered. He had never gotten up at all. He glanced at the window in the room, but it was also closed and had not been opened.
Recalling everything in the dream, I didn't know I was afraid when I was sleeping, but after I woke up, I felt extremely scared, and there was also some fear in my heart.
But about a moment later, Tieshan suddenly thought of something, stood up hurriedly, and rushed out of the house in large strides.
"Young Master, Young Master, something bad has happened." He came to the next door and kept banging on the door.
Li Xiuyuan was lying on the wooden couch, still asleep, but the noise outside the room woke him up abruptly.
After lying on the bed for a while, the knocking on the door continued, making him unable to sleep peacefully, so he yawned and woke up in a daze.
"Tieshan, what's wrong with you this early in the morning? I'm still sleeping." Li Xiuyuan looked at the sky outside and couldn't help cursing.
Tieshan continued outside the door: "Young Master, I don't want to disturb the young master's sleep, but something big is going to happen today."
"Is something big going to happen? If something big happens, come in and talk about it." Li Xiuyuan woke up slightly and said immediately.
Based on his understanding of this iron mountain, this guard is upright and loyal. Generally, he will not bother him so rashly unless there is any special event.
Tieshan pushed the door open and said hurriedly: "The eldest young master is not well. A woman named Qingmei is going to die today."
"What?" Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said in surprise, "You said that Qingmei girl will die today?"
"Yes, Qingmei will die today." Tieshan nodded repeatedly.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Please tell me in detail what is going on."
"It's like this. When I was sleeping, I suddenly had a dream at night." Tieshan said.
"Since it's a dream, it's just something that came out of nowhere. Why are you making such a fuss over a mere dream? It disturbed my good sleep. Go out, I'm going to sleep again." Li Xiuyuan said angrily.
Tieshan immediately defended: "My dream is not an ordinary dream. I dreamed about the City God of Guo Beicheng. The City God entrusted me with the dream and asked me to tell it to the eldest young master. He said that today a woman named Qingmei will be Yang Shoujiang."
However, I don’t dare to be careless, so I came to inform the eldest young master as soon as I woke up.”
"What, you dreamed about the City God of Guo Beicheng?" Li Xiuyuan's expression suddenly changed and he stood up immediately.
If it were other dreams, he would definitely not take them seriously, but if he dreamed about the City God, it would be a big deal. This is the world of Liao Zhai, and the City God is a real ghost and god. He is the god who controls a city and a place. As long as ordinary people dream about the City God, there is a high probability that it will happen.
It's just true.
Because ordinary ghosts and ghosts would never dare to carry the name of City God in their dreams.
"Young Master, the younger one really dreamed of the City God. The City God originally wanted to entrust the dream to the Young Master, but the City God said that the Young Master's life is extremely precious and that ghosts and gods cannot get close to him, so he entrusted the dream to the Young Master.
Tell this to the young master," Tieshan said.
After hearing this, Li Xiuyuan believed it immediately.
He has an exquisite heart with seven orifices, and it is true that ghosts and gods are not close to him. Let alone dreaming, even walking to him is a difficult thing.
"The city god asked me in my dream, Qingmei is about to die." Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he thought of the pretty woman yesterday.
It is hard to believe that that perfectly healthy Qingmei would die in just one day.
How could a person die in one day if he had no illness or disaster?
Unless it's...an accident.
This is the thought.
He immediately changed his clothes quickly, strode out of the house without even washing up, and then ran away.
"Young Master, where are you going?" Tieshan quickly chased after him.
Where else could Li Xiuyuan go at this time? Naturally, he would go to the Zen monastery where the Qingmei girl was to see what was going on with this woman and whether something had happened to her?
If it is really an accident, as long as he can arrive there, he can save Qingmei. As for the end of his life, that is a joke.
The cheap master told the Taoist that he was born a saint, with great luck, not close to ghosts and gods, and regardless of yin and yang. He could help people change their lives against the will of heaven and overcome disasters. He was born to save the common people.
As long as he can help Qingmei survive this disaster, then Qingmei will not have to live long.
But when he just rushed out of the yard, he saw a delicate maid running over with her voice covered in blood and crying. She even fell down on the road because she ran too fast.
, her nose bleeded from the fall, but she immediately turned over and continued running towards this side, with only anxiety and panic in her eyes.
Xiaodie~!
Li Xiuyuan suddenly stopped and his expression changed.
Could it be that an accident has happened?
After seeing Li Xiuyuan, Xiaodie seemed to have seen a savior. She cried and wiped her nosebleed and said: "Master Li, it's not good, miss, miss, something happened to her. Please, Mr. Li, please save miss, you
Please save the lady quickly."
After saying that, he knelt on the ground and hugged Li Xiuyuan's legs, as if he was afraid that he would not save her.
"Where is Miss Qingmei?" Li Xiuyuan asked, not asking what happened at this moment.
But from the looks of it, it must be something urgent and unintentional, and it would be a waste of time to ask.
"Miss, miss, she is next to the sacred tree now..." Xiaodie said with a cry.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiuyuan broke away from her and immediately rushed to the backyard, saying without looking back: "Tieshan, take care of her."
Tieshan, who was following, originally wanted to chase after him, but after hearing such an order, he immediately stayed.
"Where are all the Li family guards dead? If you haven't come out yet, I'll give you ten breaths. If you still can't come out, each of you will have fifty sticks when you go back." Tieshan saw that the woman was covered in blood, and he knew that she had died.
Big deal, he immediately shouted angrily.
"Here, here."
"Captain Tieshan."
Immediately, three or four strong guards rushed out of the house without even having time to put on their clothes, and all came to Tieshan.
"Leave one person to take care of this girl, and the others will follow me to protect the eldest young master. If the eldest young master suffers any loss today, let me ask you." Tieshan shouted.
"Yes." Several others said hurriedly, their hearts trembling.
Immediately, Tieshan chased after him with two guards.
