The evil ghost went upstairs, and the cold air poured into the room from outside. The whispering ghost voices sounded, which had already alarmed Li Xiuyuan in the first room.
He did not fall asleep, but was meditating with his eyes closed facing the moonlight outside the window. However, when he felt the ghost flying upstairs, he immediately opened his eyes, and there was a strange look in his eyes.
He had already heard all the words of those three fierce ghosts.
"It is often said that good people can be bullied by others, but in the eyes of these evil ghosts, compared to kind-hearted people, those poor people with no status, power and power are more weak and easy to bully. Even if they harm others, they will still choose such people.
Harmful." Li Xiuyuan was thoughtful.
The evil spirits do not dare to harm themselves because of their wealth, and they do not harm the guards and messengers because they are afraid of their abilities and ferocity.
So I only dared to pay back that Wang Sheng and the hawker couple.
They are neither rich nor vicious, and they do not have strong martial arts skills. They are just ordinary people, but even evil ghosts find them easy to bully.
"Evil people should not die, corrupt officials should not die, but mediocre people should die. This seems to be evil spirits harming people, but in fact it is a reflection of the world. This is the way of the world. Evil people are capable and powerful.
They do not bully other people, but only pick out poor people to bully."
Li Xiuyuan sighed, then got off the bed, opened the door and walked out.
"There are great sufferings and great injustices in the world. This is not just a matter of a few evil ghosts."
With this idea in mind, he went to Wang Sheng's room.
The three evil ghosts planned to murder Wang Sheng first, probably because he was alone and it was easier to kill him.
Wang Sheng was lying on the bed at the moment, feeling that his body was particularly heavy. In a daze, he had a strange and bizarre nightmare.
In the dream, Wang Sheng was standing in a hotel room. At this time, three evil spirits suddenly broke in. One grabbed his arm and the other grabbed his feet, making him stiff and unable to move.
But the last evil spirit strangled his neck, making him almost breathless.
In his sleep, Wang Sheng asked: "You three evil ghosts, I have no enmity with you, why do you want to kill me?"
"Hey, you're a child who didn't even pass the exam. Do you have extraordinary literary talent? And you're over thirty and have accomplished nothing. You only know how to increase the burden on your parents and wife at home. We won't harm you, a waste like you."
Who are you harming?" The evil ghost holding his neck said with a ferocious smile.
In his sleep, Wang Sheng was shocked and said: "How can this be the reason for you to harm others? Although I am a little incompetent, I have never done any evil things in my life. On the contrary, I have done a lot of small kindnesses. Are you evil ghosts like this?"
Do you want to take my life away for this unfair reason?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense when you are about to die?" The evil ghost tightened its grip on his neck.
Wang Sheng, who was lying on the bed, felt as if his neck was being pinched by an invisible hand, making him almost breathless. The force was getting stronger and stronger, making him feel suffocated.
Wang Sheng was also pinched by an evil spirit in his sleep, but he felt difficulty breathing and struggled hard to get rid of the evil spirit.
But the other two evil spirits grabbed his hands and feet and he was unable to resist. He could only watch the evil ghost's hideous and ugly face swaying in front of his eyes, while his own breathing became less and less, and his body became softer and limp.
Feeling powerless.
"Am I going to die?"
When it was time to die, Wang Sheng was no longer afraid. He couldn't help but recall the past experiences in his mind, and various memories appeared in front of his eyes like a fleeting glance.
However, just when Wang Sheng was about to suffocate and faint, he suddenly heard a loud noise, like thunder, coming from his ears.
"Huhu~!"
Then, Wang Sheng, who was sleeping, felt that the earth was shattering, as if the whole world was torn apart, and a white light suddenly came out from a distance, whistling like thunder and strong wind.
The white light hit the three evil ghosts on Wang Sheng's body. The three evil ghosts let go with a scream and Wang Sheng flew to an unknown place.
As the three evil ghosts retreated, Wang Sheng suddenly regained consciousness and his breathing became smoother. His whole body trembled and he woke up from his nightmare.
Wang Sheng suddenly sat up from the bed, with a look of horror on his face. He didn't feel scared before in his dream, but after waking up, he felt scared.
"Are you okay?" Li Xiuyuan strode in and said calmly.
"It's Mr. Li." Wang Sheng was surprised. He looked and saw that the door had been opened and the bolt on the door was broken. He didn't know if that was the thunderous sound just now.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It seems that you are fine. There are three evil ghosts entrenched in this hotel. Of the three evil ghosts just now, one evil ghost was pressing on his chest, and the other evil ghost was lying on your chest.
Behind you, there is an evil spirit that is choking your neck and sucking your yang energy into your mouth. They want to kill you. Fortunately, I discovered it in advance, so I came to save you."
"What? There's an evil spirit here?" For a moment, Wang Sheng jumped up from the bed in fright, looking around in horror, looking for traces of the evil spirit.
But with his mortal eyes, how could he see traces of evil spirits?
"Li, Mr. Li, where are the three evil ghosts? Mr. Li, please tell me that I had a nightmare before, and I dreamed of three evil ghosts trying to kill me. The things in the dream were just like what Mr. Li said.
No two." Wang Sheng trembled all over and looked very scared.
Although he is a scholar, he has never encountered ghosts and gods, and he firmly believes in them.
"Three evil ghosts are lying on your bed and wailing in pain now. They have been practicing Taoism for more than a hundred years and were hit by my hot Yang Qi, just like coals falling on them. How could they not?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Wang Sheng subconsciously looked at the bed, but saw that the curtains on the bed were automatically moving without wind, and the quilt on the bed was also sunken in several pieces, as if there were several people lying there.
For a moment, he became even more frightened.
The three evil ghosts were hit by Li Xiuyuan's Yang Qi and fell on the bed, wailing in pain.
The raising of the living is both a tonic and a poison to evil spirits.
If the yang energy is too weak, evil spirits can swallow it and strengthen themselves.
If the Yang Qi is strong, the Yin Qi in the evil ghost can be driven away, but it will be harmful to him.
Li Xiuyuan didn't use any means to deal with an evil spirit of this level. Breathing out the hot air in his stomach was enough to severely injure him.
"My eyes are wrong. This is not an ordinary rich man. He is a master who can subjugate demons and eliminate demons."
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much, like it's been burned by the sun."
"Let's go quickly, we are no match for him."
The three fierce ghosts did not forget to communicate despite the pain, and prepared to help each other escape from here.
"You evil ghosts who are harmful to people are just a scourge in this world. I happened to meet you when I passed by here today, so I killed you and restored the purity of this place."
Li Xiuyuan said calmly. He walked over and waved his hand, and a fierce ghost screamed and turned into a stream of Yin Qi and dissipated.
The ghost body can no longer be condensed.
The remaining two evil spirits were frightened and turned pale when they saw this, full of fear.
They knew that they would meet a real master. The evil ghost who had practiced Taoism for more than a hundred years was actually wiped out with a wave of his hand. It would be difficult for them to escape even if they wanted to.
"Master, we just had the idea of harming others for a moment. Please show mercy and let us two little ghosts go." The two evil ghosts hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Xiuyuan to beg for mercy.
"You don't need to beg me, because even if you beg me, I won't let you go. Evil is evil. If even evil can be forgiven, how will I face good in the future? You don't need to try to deceive me, you are so skillful
His harmful moves are not practiced by hurting people occasionally, he must be hurting people often."
Li Xiuyuan said calmly, without giving these two devils a chance to quibble, and just waved his hand.
Just like waving away a cloud of thick smoke, the two evil spirits who had killed more than a dozen people immediately swayed and disappeared directly in front of their eyes, as if blown away by a gust of wind.
The ghost body collapsed and could no longer be condensed into shape. In the future, it would not even be qualified to be reincarnated as a human or an animal, and could only be reduced to weeds, bugs, and earthworms in the mountains and fields.
The two evil spirits were driven away, and Wang Sheng felt two screams faintly ringing in his ears.
It sounded like it was coming from a far away place, but also seemed to be close to his ears. It was very strange, but when he saw Li Xiuyuan talking to the empty place in front of him, he also knew that Li Xiuyuan was reprimanding the evil ghost.
"The evil ghost has been eliminated. You can sleep peacefully tonight. You have to travel tomorrow. If you don't mind, you and I can set off together. It just so happens that I am also going to Jinling City." Li Xiuyuan said.
When Wang Sheng saw Li Xiuyuan being so calm, he seemed to be infected. He composed himself and smiled bitterly: "I won't go to Jinling City in vain. The evil ghost said that I will never be a scholar in my life, and I think it will be the same this time.
I failed, but this is what I expected. During the last exam, the test paper was smeared with ink for some reason, causing the answer sheet to be missing. If you can pass the exam, it will be weird.
.”
"The reason why I came here is just because I feel unwilling to do so. I want to see the list with my own eyes before I believe it."
After saying that, he looked lost again.
For him, after taking exams for so many years, he found out that he could only remain a child for the rest of his life. This was such a big blow.
I was very confident this time, but I didn't know that the test paper was contaminated again.
This is probably life.
Li Xiuyuan didn't say much at this point. He just said: "There are so many talented people in the world, and not all of them can be promoted to officials. In the end, they have to return to their hometown to buy a house. Now that you know your future in advance, this is actually a good thing."
It’s a good thing. You don’t have to be obsessed with the imperial examination in the future, you can do other things, and you don’t have to worry about your parents, wife and children at home.”
"Young Master Li's words are absolutely true. I have been taught a lesson. I have decided to return to my hometown tomorrow and apply for a job as a teacher. Although I am talented in literature, I have been studying for more than 20 years, so I believe that I will not mislead others."
Wang Sheng saluted Li Xiuyuan and said, "I really can't repay Young Master Li for saving his life today. If Young Master Li needs it in the future, just give me your instructions."
