After Hu Hei died, Li Xiuyuan saw that its spirit had collapsed, leaving only a shapeless soul floating underground and heading towards the underworld.
It seems that souls that have settled their grudges during their lives and have no memories of them do not need ghost messengers to capture them and personally escort them to the underworld. There will be a force in the dark that guides these freed souls to enter the underworld.
Otherwise, with so many people dying in the world, how could the ghosts be so busy?
The ghosts that need to be captured and escorted are those who are resentful or have grievances in their hearts. Of course, there are also souls who are detained by magic and enslaved by ghosts and gods.
"The matter here has been settled, and it's time for Pindao to leave." Li Xiuyuan said this and turned to leave.
Hu Hei's body does not need to be buried. Its body must be left to atone for its sins, allowing others to skin it, tan it, chop it into pieces and cook it.
"Taoist, Taoist, no, the Xian family, the Xian family, please stay." Mr. Liu suddenly woke up and hurriedly chased Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan asked: "Sir, this goblin has passed away, and his soul has flown away. He has left a body that can no longer cause trouble. Pindao's purpose of coming here has been achieved. Why should Pindao stay?"
?”
Mr. Liu said with a smile: "That's not what I meant. It's just that the Xian family is here to slay demons and demons for us. Wouldn't it be against etiquette to let the Xian family leave without thanking the Xian family? I don't mean anything else.
I just want to invite the Xian family to the inn to have a rest and have a light meal, as a way to
Thank you."
"Xianjia, look, it's already sunset and it's getting late."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the sky and said, "Although it's getting late, if I set out now, I can still get to the capital before nightfall."
Mr. Liu felt shocked again when he heard this.
Although this place is not far from the capital, it is still five or six days away. This man was able to get to the capital before nightfall. Unless he was flying, how could he be so fast?
"You thank me for my kindness. I understand it. It's just that I didn't help you or anything. You also saw this vixen. He encountered a disaster and was dying. He was about to die. Even without my appearance, he couldn't survive.
How many hours, so Mr. Liu, you don’t need to thank me." Li Xiuyuan
With that said, he had already walked out of the stable.
Prepare to cast a spell and leave.
"Chief Immortal, wait, wait." Seeing this, Mr. Liu was determined to leave and hurriedly walked to him and knelt down in front of him.
"Immortal Chief, I am already in my thirties this year. I am not good at writing or martial arts. I relied on some superficial wisdom to join the palace as a staff member. The fact that I met the immortal today is the merit accumulated in my three lifetimes. I dare not ask for the appreciation of the immortal.
I just want to take advantage of the immortal's departure to ask about my future.
Shouyuan, please ask the immortal to fulfill this little wish of mine."
After saying that, Mr. Liu really bowed to the ground and was extremely respectful.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled: "You are asking the wrong person when you kneel down to ask about the future. You must know that among the Taoists in the world, there are those who can make elixirs, some who can practice Qi to achieve immortality, some who can cast down demons and eliminate demons, and some who can draw talismans to calculate fortunes.
Pindao is not proficient in looking at the future and measuring good or bad luck. Pindao has only learned some simple things.
This magic can only catch a few monsters and kill a few evil spirits."
After saying that, he immediately helped Mr. Liu up.
"This, this" Mr. Liu was a little lost at this time and didn't know what to say.
"However, we can still see the blessings and misfortunes of the poor." Li Xiuyuan changed the subject again: "Today you hunted monsters and foxes, and what you hunted was a thousand-year-old fox spirit. This is good luck, but it is also bad luck.
, the death of the vixen has wiped away all your good luck, and disaster should be coming next.
Yes, Mr. Liu, if you pay more attention along the way, you may be able to avoid this disaster."
He didn't look at the book of life and death, and he didn't know what Mr. Liu's future was. He just saw that the light of merit on his head was hidden and shrouded in black smoke, which lingered.
Such a person must be very clever and calculating, and has harmed many people. His mind is full of schemes and vicious plots against people.
Although he is still polite to himself, it is just because he is pretending to be a Taoist or an immortal.
If it were towards ordinary people, it would definitely be a different attitude.
"Thank you, Immortal, for reminding me. I'm very grateful." Mr. Liu said with some regret. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he couldn't ask about his future.
"Huh."
Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan let out a soft sigh: "Something's wrong."
"What's wrong with the immortal?"
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan saw that not only the top of his head was filled with black energy, but also the guards around him who were on duty were also filled with black energy, blocking the spiritual light.
This is not the emanation of evil thoughts, but a sign of approaching disaster.
But when it came to what was going on, he couldn't tell. After all, when he went back to the mountain gate to learn spells, the last thing he learned was this kind of calculation and deduction spells.
Just when Li Xiuyuan frowned and wondered.
Sudden.
A guard on duty nearby yelled: "Who is standing there sneaking around?"
"Ah~!"
The next sound was a scream from the guard.
"No, there are strong men coming." The noise outside the inn suddenly became noisy, and soon the sound of weapons being waved and armor shaking was heard.
From time to time there were screams.
It was made out of fear before death. A scream means that a guard is dying.
"Just after I finished speaking, disaster struck. It seems that my arrival was really unlucky." Li Xiuyuan said with emotion.
At this moment, Mr. Liu's face changed greatly. He didn't care to talk to the immortal anymore, and turned around and ran away. At this moment, the strongman came to kill him. As an aide, the most important thing he had to do was to protect the safety of his master and ensure that the young prince would not be killed by the strongman.
.
At this time, a man wearing an old military uniform, who looked like a down-and-out soldier, was holding a waist knife full of gaps. He was furious and drew the knife all the way to kill.
His sword is very fast,
With just a wave, like a shadow flashing across, a guard's head was chopped off in the blink of an eye.
"You damn dog officials, give me back my wife." The man roared angrily, showing no fear in the face of the surrounding guards, slashing as he walked.
Everywhere he passed were broken arms and limbs, sword flashes flashed by, and those guards with excellent martial arts couldn't get close to him.
"Quick, shoot this man away with your bow and arrow. His martial arts skills are extremely high and he has already developed his strength. We are no match for him." The leader of the team yelled, with fear in his eyes.
How could such a strong man come out of this remote place in the mountains and wilderness?
A person who practices martial arts who has developed strong energy is, to use a nicer word, a martial arts master.
Such a person can be the instructor of the imperial army in the capital, the chief catcher in Liumenmen, and at least a partial general or vanguard in the military camp.
Soon, there was another sound of mobilizing men, drawing bows and shooting arrows.
But the incomplete waist knife in this soldier's hand was so powerful that he danced so airtight that the arrows he shot had already been cut down from mid-air before they landed on him. The fine armors of the guards were cut off by him.
The knife in his hand split into pieces, either cutting off the arm or opening it.
His stomach was broken open and his attack was extremely cruel.
When Li Xiuyuan heard the noise and the brutal fighting, he immediately came to take a look.
At this moment, he saw that the soldier with extraordinary martial arts had already killed off the guards and rushed into the inn.
"Dog officer, listen, hand over my wife, or I will kill all of you today." The soldier glared with anger, almost spitting out fire.
Li Xiuyuan, who originally wanted to stop him, hesitated when he heard this.
"There must be some inside story, otherwise how could he be so crazy and rush in alone?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed and he decided to take a look first before talking.
There were not many guards left who retreated into the inn. They looked at each other with fear, and their hands holding the steel swords and spears could not help but tremble slightly.
Mr. Liu was hiding behind the guard at the moment, and his face was pale with fear. He just kept telling everyone to stop this man and not let him kill him.
"Pop!"
However, at this moment, a sound of applause came from the second floor of the inn.
But he saw a good-looking and noble young man, stroking his hands and smiling, and slowly walked down: "Okay, kill well, these guards of my king are all carefully selected from the army.
With martial arts skills, one can be as good as ten. I didn’t expect that dozens of guards could not stop you alone. Such martial arts
It’s a pity that Yi can’t serve me.”
"My young prince, what are you doing here? There are powerful people out there, so you must not get close." Mr. Liu shouted hurriedly.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. I was very bored on the road and couldn't find any fun. It's rare to encounter such an interesting thing. Of course I want to come out and have fun."
The young man had an excited look on his face, without any fear at all.
It's like a child seeing a favorite toy.
"It's you, a dog officer, who robbed my wife? You deserve to be killed." The soldier was furious, and with a strong movement of his feet, he pounced forward like a cheetah.
The guards didn't react at all.
The young prince who had just walked down the stairs was thrown to the ground by the soldier. The blood-stained waist knife was placed on his neck. Before any force was exerted, a gash was opened and blood flowed out.
"Your Majesty."
The guards were shocked and rushed over to save people.
"Haha, such a fast knife. I was caught by you before I even saw what was going on. It's amazing, it's amazing. I don't have such a powerful person under my command. Hey, what's your name?"
The young prince was not afraid, but rather pleasantly surprised. He couldn't help but laugh: "Save me for what? Do I want you to save me? A bunch of useless trash, please retreat and disturb my elegance. I, my prince."
I’ll chop you all to death.”
"Young prince, now is not the time to play, he is here to kill the young prince." Mr. Liu said with a pale face, horrified.
The young prince turned around and said angrily: "Back off, if anyone disobeys me, I will catch him and feed him to the dogs when he comes back."
The nearby guards who were about to surround him to save people couldn't help but retreat slowly in fear after hearing this.
"Listen, Dog Officer, your grandfather's name is Hao Zhao. Did you send someone to kidnap my wife and children?"
The military household named Hao Zhao gritted his teeth and said that the waist knife placed on his neck could tear open his blood vessels if it penetrated just a few minutes, leaving the prince with his head dismembered.
"Is your name Hao Zhao? Do you know what my king's name is? My name is Zhao Rui. He is the younger brother of the current emperor and has been named the King of Yue."
Zhao Rui said with a smile: "Of course you can kill me if you want to? But looking at you, you should be a local military household. Do you know the crime of killing me? Killing a royal relative is equivalent to rebellion, and you will kill the nine tribes and your family."
Do you have a father? Do you have any brothers and sisters? Do you have any distant relatives? If not, do you have any?
If there are any, you can kill them. If I die, Mr. Liu, please listen clearly. You must tell the emperor and ask him to bury the people of this twenty-mile radius with me. Remember, twenty
It doesn’t matter if it’s less than one mile.”
"Okay, I've finished my words. If you want to kill, feel free to kill."
When the soldier named Hao Zhao heard this, his palms trembled, and he couldn't help but hold back the knife on his neck.
He could not bear the crime of killing a prince.
Hao Zhao knew very well how serious the consequences of killing the nine clans would be to bring disaster to the countryside. After all, he was also on duty.
"Are you hesitant? Haha, are you scared? You were very powerful just now, come on, kill, I asked you to kill." Zhao Rui held his knife and wiped it on his neck.
Just one touch and his throat would be cut.
Hao Zhao was shocked and hurriedly used all his strength to put away the knife, thus preventing the prince from dying under his own knife.
"It's really boring. Just shouting for Zhentianxiang to kill me, but now you don't kill me. My neck has been brought to you, and you actually took the knife back. Yes, your wife is me
The king caught her. It’s rare for a woman from a mountain village to be fairly fair and pretty. I’m bored on the road.
, what’s wrong with letting her serve this king? Don’t forget, the surname in this world is Zhao. You untouchables were born to serve our Zhao family. It’s your blessing that this king likes your wife.
, you should be kneeling down now to be grateful, but how dare you draw your sword at me? Do you really want to create
On the contrary."
Zhao Rui patted his robe and stood up calmly, then with a violent look on his face, he slapped Hao Zhao in the face.
"Pa~!"
There was a loud slap in the face, which made Hao Zhao's face turn red and left a clear handprint.
"You are looking for death." Hao Zhao's teeth were about to burst and he drew his sword to kill the prince.
But a woman's cry rang out: "Stop, stop quickly, you can't kill the official. I heard everything I said just now. He is the prince, and if you kill him, you will kill the nine tribes. It is not a pity for a lowly wife to die, but in the family
What should I do with my parents-in-law? What should I do with my children who are under 10 years old? What should I do with my brothers and sisters?
Well, if you kill him, everything will be gone."
While talking, the woman ran over and hugged Hao Zhao, grabbing his arm and asking him to put down the knife.
"Daughter-in-law, how are you? Are you okay?"
When Hao Zhao saw his wife, he immediately extinguished the murderous intention in his heart and hurriedly turned around and hugged the woman.
But he saw that this woman's clothes were messy, her clothes were not covering her body, and her body was covered with bruises and scars. She had obviously been teased and humiliated by Zhao Rui.
"Young lady, one day for a husband and one hundred days for a hundred days, how quickly do you know how to care about my safety? Haha, you don't have to persuade him to kill me. My head is right here, and he can take it away anytime he wants."
Zhao Rui straightened his clothes and showed a smile.
There was no look of fear on his face, but rather a bit of excitement.
