Chapter six hundred and seventy-six water ghosts seek money
I looked at the wet ghost footprints all over the yard, and the smell of ashes and mutton that lingered in the air.
You can imagine how many ghosts came to this courtyard last night.
Among them were house ghosts who were worshiped by people, water ghosts who died in vain in the water, and some gods who enjoyed the incense. Their moral conduct was not low, at least they had practiced for hundreds of years. No ghost was simple.
The goods are either first-class ghost generals or ghost kings.
Li Xiuyuan frowned. He looked around and saw that the water tank where the white lotus was kept had cracked and the white lotus inside was missing.
Then he looked at the house opposite.
But he saw the door opposite opened, and rows of wet footprints entered the house along the steps.
Li Xiuyuan walked over and took a look, but saw that the female ghost Xiao Xie was no longer in the house. Even the girl Qiurong who stayed overnight last night was missing. The house was already empty.
"Thunder Lord, what happened last night? Is there any ghost in the world who dares to break into this yard in front of you and kidnap a female ghost or a living person?"
He strode out of the house and looked at the big scarlet rooster in the courtyard.
Lei Gong lowered his head and looked extremely frustrated. He just made a few gurgling sounds and did not try to argue.
"With your ability, if a ghost with less than five hundred years of practice enters your eyes, it is equivalent to feeding. Your ability to eat ghosts makes ghosts and gods feel extremely fearful. Moreover, I did not hear you crow to remind me at night. Considering your
There's no way my screams wouldn't wake me up, unless you weren't even in the courtroom last night
He was staying in the courtyard, or he was deliberately lured away by someone's trick."
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly and he said seriously.
"Forget it, now that things have happened, if I blame you for not being able to protect you, it's a bit shirking responsibility. It's also because I slept too comfortably yesterday. I thought that everything would be fine if I drew the ground as a prison, but I didn't think about the safety of other people. This is
I didn't consider it well, I will reflect on it myself
I will also make up for my own mistakes."
He thought that most of the ghosts and gods in the world were targeting him, so he was very vigilant and neglected to protect those around him.
"Han Meng, Wu Xiang, are you here?"
Li Xiuyuan suddenly discovered that the guards stationed nearby who usually took turns at twelve hours were missing.
He called out but no one responded.
"Did something happen to the people in the escort agency?"
With this question in mind, he immediately walked to the front yard.
But when I arrived at the front yard, I saw soldiers lying on the ground, in the lobby, and in the side rooms. Their faces were pale and their bodies were weak, as if they were suffering from some illness.
At this moment, Han Meng just walked in from outside the escort office, and several doctors were brought behind him.
"Young Master, are you awake?" When Han Meng saw Li Xiuyuan, he immediately came up to him and bowed respectfully.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Han Meng, what's going on? Why did all the soldiers I brought with me and the heads of the escort agency fall ill overnight?"
"This, this, the eldest young master, the younger one doesn't know either. The younger one woke up last night and saw that all the brothers were sick. The younger one felt that the matter was urgent, so he went out to invite a doctor to treat the brothers.
, prepare to report this matter to the eldest young master later." Han Meng said.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "What you did was not wrong. You dealt with it in a timely manner. Doctors, you are all famous doctors in the capital. From what you can see, what kind of disease did these subordinates of mine get? They all fell ill overnight."
fall down?"
Then he bowed his hands and saluted the doctors invited by Han Meng.
A doctor returned the favor and said, "Sir, from what I see, this is probably a drowning syndrome, coupled with wind and cold entering the body, it is not a particularly serious emergency."
"Then it will take a few doctors to diagnose and treat me," Li Xiuyuan said.
But another doctor shook his head and said: "Although all the patients do have signs of cold and drowning, it is impossible for them all to fall ill overnight. It doesn't look like these young master's subordinates fell into the water.
How could the symptoms of a drowning person occur? I think this should be
It's because evil spirits have entered the body and the disease suddenly occurs, and your house is afraid that something unclean has been provoked."
"That makes sense." Several other doctors nodded.
They treat patients and do not shy away from things involving ghosts and gods, unlike some scholars who are always silent about strange powers and confusing spirits.
Li Xiuyuan's expression darkened; "Can a few doctors treat me well?"
"I'll give it a try first. Only after confirming the symptoms can we prescribe the right medicine." A doctor walked up to a bodyguard who was slumped on the ground, looked at his face, looked at his tongue coating, and then felt his pulse.
Finally, he touched the escort's lower abdomen.
However, they saw that the bodyguard's lower abdomen was bulging, and his body exuded a fishy smell, making him look like a drowning person.
The doctor said: "Doctor Wang, please help me. You have to induce vomiting in the patient first."
Doctor Wang nodded, and the two of them helped the escort head up. After some massage, they then slapped him hard on the back.
Immediately, the pale escort bowed down and vomited.
A pool of fishy river water was spat out, with river grass and river mud in the water. It looked like the symptoms of a drowning person.
Li Xiuyuan's eyes were solemn, because he knew that all his subordinates were in the escort agency yesterday night and did not go out at all. How could they drown? Even if a few people drowned when they went out, it is impossible for all of them to drown.
"The water ghost is making trouble. This is because a water ghost broke into my escort agency and caused trouble and harmed people." He had already guessed the general reason for the matter.
"Wu Xiang, where is Wu Xiang? Is he sick too?"
Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan asked again.
Han Meng replied: "Back to the young master, Wu Xiang is not ill. He, he is just still sleeping soundly."
"So, you two are the only ones in the escort agency who haven't fallen ill?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Han Meng said: "Sha Jin's escort is not sick either."
"Really?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly.
He understood why these people did not fall ill. Sha Jin was a martial arts practitioner with strong qi and blood and strong yang energy. He also practiced the Iron Shirt Technique, which made it difficult for ghosts and gods to harm him. Han Meng had an extraordinary destiny. He once looked at Han Meng.
His energy is like a dragon, and he has the potential of a prince or general. As for Wu Xiang, that idiot
It is protected by four elephants and is extremely powerful, making it difficult for ghosts and monsters to defeat it.
Let alone plotting to kill him, it would be lucky if he didn't beat him to death.
I thought that with such extraordinary people around me, nothing would happen to me, but I didn't expect that it would turn out like this overnight.
"Burn a letter and go out and call Ma Dongniu Er and the others back." Li Xiuyuan immediately ordered.
He used the mirror to look at Ma Dong Niu Er's body. He wanted to get the mirror to see what happened here last night.
"Hey, hey, there's no need to call the cows and horses. They won't be back for a while. They should have left the capital by now. It was really hard work to arrest that human trafficker.
.”
Suddenly, at this moment, a whispering voice suddenly came from the dark lobby.
Others didn't hear it and just thought it was some insects buzzing, but Li Xiuyuan understood that it was ghost whispers.
"Um?"
Li Xiuyuan looked back, his eyes flashing with golden light, but he saw a soldier wearing a waist sword and rusty armor sitting on the main seat in the lobby. The soldier's face was pale and his body was wet.
From time to time a drop of water fell.
His presence made the entire lobby look dark and damp.
"When will water ghosts be able to come ashore to cause trouble?" he said coldly.
But the soldier laughed gloomily: "If you have done enough, there is no place in the world that water ghosts like us can't go? Maybe one day when you are drinking tea, a water ghost will be dormant in it and enter you.
You are unable to survive or die in your belly, but you are quite capable even though you are a poor fellow.
How dare you injure the Third General Ghost? You really don't take our king seriously."
"What happened yesterday is just to teach you some lessons. It is true that you are capable, but it seems that the people around you are not as capable as you. Looking at the looks of your subordinates, it must be uncomfortable to get ghost disease.
"
Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan revealed his murderous intent and strode into the lobby: "It's wrong for you to be a mere water ghost, and it's wrong to stay in the world. It's even more wrong to do evil and harm others. Now you dare to be rampant in front of me. I'll kill you now. Look back."
Let’s go find that damn foreman to settle the score.”
Before he finished speaking, thunder flashed in his hand.
Be prepared to use thunder to kill this water ghost immediately, without giving him any chance to repent.
"Wait a minute."
The soldier smiled disapprovingly and said: "This is just a water ghost substitute of mine. Even if you kill me, you will only make me lose some virtues. You can't really kill me, and I will stay."
Here it is nothing more than passing a few words to my king. If you destroy me, who will
Come to bring you a message again? Don’t you want to know the whereabouts of the female ghost and the girl opposite your house?"
When this matter was brought up, Li Xiuyuan temporarily held back his murderous intention and said, "Tell me, what did the ghost foreman have to say to me?"
"Don't worry, I'm not causing trouble for you. It's just that you offended the Third Ghost General under my king. What happened today is just to teach you some lessons. If you are willing to set up three hundred altar tables in the evening, prepare three hundred altars in front of each altar table.
Animal offerings, ten jars of fine wine, twenty pairs of incense candles, plus three
If you pay ten pounds of paper money, what happened last time can be forgiven, and your ghost and girl will also be returned. Don't worry, they are fine now, but I can't guarantee that they will be fine tomorrow, hehe.
"
The soldier said with a deep smile.
Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "What if I don't agree?"
"If you don't agree, something like this will happen again today. No matter how capable you are, you can only protect yourself. Can you protect others? If you don't want to cause trouble, just do as you are told. Who told you
You have offended my king." The water ghost soldier said.
"Okay, I promise you, there will be three hundred tables for worship. I guess there are quite a few ghosts and gods under the ghost foreman, so when will you come to pick them up?"
Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, but after hearing this, he was no longer angry, but put away his thunder method and agreed.
"Haha, that's right. You are a person who knows magic, so you naturally know how powerful my king is. Don't worry, as long as you prepare properly, our people will come to enjoy the incense and worship in the evening. Seeing that you know the current affairs
I gave you a hard time today, remember, get ready before nightfall,
Otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk.”
After the water ghost warrior finished speaking, his face filled with excitement and pride turned into a pool of sewage, flowing into the cracks in the lobby floor, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
