This black-shirted old man's moral conduct has lasted for more than a hundred years.
Li Xiuyuan even killed the Dragon King of Wujiang. The city god and the ghost king had to bow their heads in front of him, not to mention this little old ghost. To deal with such a ghost, he didn't even use his own identity. He relied on the simplest methods.
It can be taken down by means of exorcism.
However, this old ghost in black clothes still has the ability to confuse ordinary people. His own bodyguard was confused by him just now.
Looking at the arrow that was deeply embedded in the ground, Li Xiuyuan felt that the power of the arrow was very terrifying. It was at least more than five stones, and this was without being fully charged.
If it is fully stretched, the strength will be even more amazing.
The key is that this bow is easy to pull and effortless. I don’t know what method Mu Taoist used when making this bow.
I really want a treasure. If someone who is good at shooting holds this bow, it will definitely be a coveted bow.
At this moment, the guards saw that this old ghost had been nailed to the ground by an arrow in the blink of an eye, unable to escape. At this moment, they admired their young master's method of catching ghosts and eliminating demons even more.
"You guys go and stop this wedding procession and rescue daughter Qiao. We just happen to be going to Hua County. We will return this woman to the Qiao family when we arrive in Hua County tomorrow." Li Xiuyuan gave an order at this time.
"Don't worry, young master, we will definitely rescue that woman."
The two guards responded, immediately got on their horses with willow sticks in hand, and caught up with the wedding party.
With a wave of the willow sticks in the hands of the guards, a servant who was playing gongs and drums was decapitated, and half of his head flew out. However, when he took a closer look, he saw that it was not a servant, it was just a paper figure.
, I don’t know what Taoist magic was used to make this paper man move on its own.
"Bump! Bump! Bump!"
The guards were shocked at first, and then they suddenly became bolder when they saw the paper man who had been knocked to the ground by his stick.
It turns out that these ghosts are just things to scare people, and they are all paper figures. No wonder these people didn't react at all when the old ghost was subdued from the beginning, and just went on their way.
Since they were paper figures, they were not afraid anymore. They rode horses and ran rampant among the team, knocking all the servants who were beating gongs and drums away. With the sound of the strong horse's hoof, all the servants who fell on the ground were transformed.
The paper figures they made were scattered on the ground, and then they were swept away by the wind and sand around them.
After the spell was broken, these paper figures turned into ordinary objects and no longer had the ability to move.
Soon, the guards beat these paper figures to pieces, and finally stopped the sedan chair.
"Young master, look, they are all paper figures. There is no living person. There should be only that old ghost just now. We didn't see any other ghosts." The guard said.
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "This is natural. If there are other ghosts, they will not escape my eyes."
After saying that, he walked to the sedan chair and tore it apart twice. The woman in the sedan chair seemed to be unaware of everything outside, sitting quietly in the sedan chair.
like a statue.
"Something's wrong. This woman is motionless. She must be dead." The guard said in a suppressed voice.
Li Xiuyuan frowned, and without caring about any etiquette, he directly lifted the red cloth from the woman's head, and his expression immediately changed slightly.
But I saw that this woman's face was a little pale, with little blood, her eyes were closed tightly, and she had no breath. Although she was neatly dressed, she had no breath.
"Young Master, this bride is really dead." The guard stretched out his hand to sniff, and then said.
Li Xiuyuan looked at it and said: "It's not that it's completely dead. This corpse is still alive. It should be that the soul has left the body. As long as we can find the soul of this girl Qiao, she should be able to come back to life."
The body of a real dead person is definitely cold and stiff at this time.
But the body of Miss Qiao was still warm, bloody, and not stiff. This was exactly the same as the sign of a lost soul.
"Young Master, what should we do now?" the guard asked.
Li Xiuyuan said: "There is no other way. Now that we have met, we can't just leave this Qiao girl's body on the roadside. Take her with you."
The guard nodded and had no choice but to take the female body with him.
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan turned around and returned to the old ghost who was nailed to the road, and asked: "Do you know where the soul of this clever girl is?"
"No, I don't know." The old ghost shook his head repeatedly and said hastily regardless of the pain.
Li Xiuyuan asked: "Is it true that I don't know or I don't know? Now that your life is at risk, do you still want to keep the secret?"
The old ghost in black clothes cried and shouted: "I really don't know."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "You are very strict with your words, but you mentioned this before about a daughter from the Qiao family, so let me ask you, who do you want to marry this girl?"
"Well, I don't know. I'm just responsible for sending people off. I don't know anything else." The old ghost in black shirt said.
Li Xiuyuan frowned, and he looked at the old ghost seriously. The old ghost must have known the reason for this, but he was afraid of something and refused to say anything.
Of course there is another reason.
That means this old ghost really doesn't know anything. He is just escorting the procession of sending off the bride.
"Forget it, since you don't know, I won't ask you anymore. You will continue to be nailed to the ground like this. It will be dawn soon. I hope you won't regret your tough words this time.
"
After saying that, he was too lazy to continue to torture the old ghost. When he saw that the guards had carried the body of the girl on the horse and prepared it, he waved his hand and said.
"Keep on going. This happened in Hua County. It will be clear to you when you get to Hua County."
He believed that if he found the parents of this girl Qiao, he would be able to ask them clearly.
Soon, the group continued on their way.
The old ghost who was nailed to the ground wailed: "Please let me go. I really don't know. I only know that there is a very skilled papermaker in Hua County, and I bought these paper figures from him."
Yes, you can ask the papermaker, he will definitely know what is going on."
"There are so many lies, but none of them are really believable. Now even if the truth is told, I still have to doubt it."
Li Xiuyuan was too lazy to pay attention to the evil spirit and quickly left with his guards.
The old man in black shirt panicked when he saw that Li Xiuyuan was really gone.
"Spare, spare your life, I said, I'll tell you everything, don't leave... Please let me go, I'll tell you everything now."
However, at this time, Li Xiuyuan was already far away and could not hear the old ghost's cry.
After the old ghost in black shouted for a while, he was sure that Li Xiuyuan was really gone, but he felt regretful. He wanted to reach out and pull out the arrow that pinned him, but he couldn't pull it out no matter what. He just wanted to do it.
If you touch this arrow, your hands and feet will become weak.
If the pure Yang Qi on it didn't dissipate, he wouldn't be able to pull out the arrow.
But it will probably take several days to wait for the Yang Qi to dissipate.
But it would get dark in a few hours, and when the scorching sun shone down, he would be as painful as if he had been thrown into a frying pan.
However, after being delayed by this incident, Li Xiuyuan and his guards could have walked to Huaxian County, but now they have not reached Huaxian County until it gets light.
But when we got here, there were already people living there, there were villages nearby, and there were inns and teahouses on the roadside.
The outline of the county seat can be seen in the distance.
"Stop, go to this tea shop to take a rest and have something to eat." Li Xiuyuan said.
He is considered a practicing person, and he is so energetic that the guards around him can no longer bear it.
Although it was still early, the tea shops were already open. The hard work of the people was sometimes unimaginable.
"There seems to be no disaster here." Li Xiuyuan looked around the area while taking a rest, and couldn't help but said when he saw that the ground was dry and there were no signs of flooding.
"Young Master, this place is hundreds of miles away from Guobei City, so it is definitely not within the disaster area. From this point of view, the area affected by the disaster is not too large."
The guard was a little hungry, so he drank tea and ate noodles.
"Don't think like this. The terrain here is high and it's normal for the water to not spread here. The real disaster is in the low-lying areas and downstream areas." Li Xiuyuan said.
As the sky gets brighter, people from nearby areas come to Huaxian one after another. Some people will eat some noodles, take a sip of tea, take a rest and settle down when passing by the tea shop.
However, Li Xiuyuan also saw several groups of disaster victims among these people.
The floods destroyed their houses, fields, and everything, and they had to flee in all directions.
At this moment, a group of strong disaster victims strode over to this side, and then occupied a table in a carefree manner.
"Waiter, hurry up and bring us five or six bowls of noodles. If you're late, I'll demolish your shabby shop."
A man covered in rags shouted.
When the store owner saw that this group of people were not easy to deal with, he quickly greeted them, brought tea and water, and cooked noodles.
This group of people were talking loudly while eating and drinking. They didn't know what to say. Their words all had local dialects and accents. Li Xiuyuan couldn't understand eight out of ten sentences.
"Young Master, why don't you drive these people away? They don't look like good people." The guard was vigilant and on guard against these people.
"No, we will leave after the horses are full and don't pay attention to them."
Li Xiuyuan gestured and didn't bother to pay attention to these people. He just looked bored and took out the book of life and death from his arms and started flipping through it.
I am bored and look up the life span and fortune of some people, such as my parents, friends, maids and maids around me, etc.
There are no restrictions on flipping through the Book of Life and Death. Anyone can flip through it. Since he has this opportunity, he naturally wants to check the situation of the people around him in advance.
However, at this moment, after a man at the table next to him had finished eating and drinking, he saw that there was still half a bowl of noodles in the bowl and could not eat any more. He joked to his companions: "Look, do I look like this?"
The woman who hanged herself."
After saying that, he hung up a noodle to form a circle. The idle man stuck his head in, rolled his eyes, then looked straight into the distance, stuck out his tongue, and pretended to hang himself.
"Haha, it's a bit like it, a bit like it." The companion next to him smiled and patted the table.
"Hey, that woman is so stupid. We brothers just had a good relationship with her once and then hanged themselves. It's such a pity."
"That's right, that's right."
"Young Master, this group of people seems to be the thieves who killed the victims yesterday."
When the guard heard these words, he immediately shrank his eyes and saw the idle man pretending to hang himself. He looked very much like the humiliated woman who hanged herself.
This shows without a doubt that these people are the evil thieves.
"With no one around, it's better to get rid of this group of thieves. Even if they are arrested for such a crime, they will inevitably be stabbed by the government."
Another guard pressed down on Shen Yu and said that under the influence of Li Xiuyuan, he also became jealous of evil. When he encountered such a villain, he couldn't help but want to draw his sword.
Li Xiuyuan raised his head slightly and looked at the group of idle men with a cold look in his eyes.
Suddenly, he saw a small wooden sign on the neck of an idle man, with his name written on it.
"Shi San."
"Check it out."
Li Xiuyuan immediately lowered his head and looked at the book of life and death in his hand.
At this time, after the man named Shi San finished laughing, he pushed away the other idler and said: "You are just pretending to be hanging, look at me."
After saying that, he dug his head into the noodles again, rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and looked like he was hanging himself.
"Haha, it looks like it, it looks very much like it. It looks more like it than before." These idle men laughed again.
However, everyone laughed, but Shi San remained like this, motionless, his body seemed to be frozen, frozen in place, his eyes rolled up, his tongue stuck out, and his breath was gone.
