The name of the prefect of Tongtai Prefecture is Yan Li. If it were a year ago, no one would think of him as "strict". On the contrary, this prefect Yan has a gentle temperament and is kind to the people under his rule. He is called the prefect of Qingtian.
Years ago, the Yan Zhifu's temperament changed a lot. Although he was not cruel and vicious, his temper became a little moody. If the subordinates made the slightest mistake, they would be punished, causing the servants in the mansion to tremble and walk on their feet.
, and dare not make any loud noise.
It can be said that this year, the entire Yan Mansion has been shrouded in dark clouds, and the reason for all this is naturally attributed to Yan Li's only daughter who was possessed by a ghost a year ago.
Over the past year, Yan Li had raised hopes countless times, but was disappointed again and again. Originally, he no longer had hope. Although his daughter was possessed by a ghost, at least she was still alive.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yan's wife came today and told her that she had found an expert who could cure her daughter.
If she were just Yang Yan's wife, he would naturally not take it seriously. However, this Mrs. Yang is a good friend of his daughter and has been visiting her from time to time over the past year. Although he knows that it is because of his status, he also
I am willing to accept this sentiment.
And he also knew that the other party was a smart man. If he was not certain, he would definitely not take the risk of offending him to persuade him. Although he had resigned himself to his fate, he still had some extravagant hope in his heart to try again.
Therefore, Yan Li decided to let the other party give it a try. Xu Caiwei said before that the expert was young but had real abilities, which was a wake-up call for him. He also wanted to see what the young expert had.
What kind of skill is he? He is still deceiving and deliberately deceiving others.
If he had real ability, he would be willing to be a guest. As long as he could save his daughter, he would be willing to pay any price. But if it was the latter, even with Xu Caiwei, he would make the other party pay a sufficient price, at least he would have his hands and feet broken.
Yan Li is not one to be deceived.
While Yan Li was waiting anxiously, Mu Yi and Xu Caiwei arrived at Yan's Mansion. Since the servants had been notified long ago, they took them directly to see Yan Li without reporting.
When Yan Li saw Mu Yi for the first time, he was surprised. He finally understood why Xu Caiwei said that Mu Yi was young, but he did not ignore Mu Yi because of his youth, because Mu Yi had a temperament that, at first glance,
Not like ordinary people.
Especially when he stared directly at the other person, the young Taoist priest didn't feel any discomfort, and even had a smile on his lips.
He is strictly in charge of seven counties in one government and holds the fifth rank official position. Not to mention ordinary people, even the heads of big families and his subordinates will tremble and feel fear when they are stared at by him. But the other party is not only not afraid, but on the contrary
His eyes are pure and he has a posture that is as motionless as a mountain.
For this reason alone, Yan Li would not underestimate Mu Yi.
"I've met the Taoist priest." Yan Li solemnly clasped his fists at Mu Yi. It was extremely extraordinary for the magistrate to take the initiative to say hello.
"I've met Magistrate Yan." Mu Yi slapped his head and replied.
At this moment, Xu Caiwei became an outsider on the sidelines, but the more this happened, the happier she would be. She was the one who brought Mu Yi. Although Yan Li didn't say it, he must have remembered in his heart that once her good sister was cured,
, I am afraid that she, Xu Caiwei, will soon become a guest of the prefect, and Yang Yan may also be promoted through this.
Xu Caiwei originally married Yang Yan as a concubine, mainly because she was ambitious and also optimistic about Yang Yan. Maybe in a few years, she could become the prefect's wife. She was confident that by that time, she could become a real
wife, not concubine.
Especially after this incident, I believe her status in Yang Yan's mind will be greatly improved.
"I wonder if we should take a short rest?" Yan Li suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Mu Yi and said, although he wanted to go immediately, he couldn't be rude.
"Let's go take a look first." Mu Yi said directly.
"Okay, Taoist Priest, please come with me." Yan Li said immediately, and then led Mu Yi and Xu Caiwei to the backyard. There was a courtyard there, and the door was locked. Before they even got close, they could feel a chill. Although it was
During the day, the small courtyard still looked eerie.
Mu Yi originally thought that he was just a little ghost, maybe a little virtuous, but definitely not very strong. But now when he saw it, he suddenly realized that what he had thought before was too simple. I am afraid that the person who possessed Yan Li's daughter was not an ordinary ghost, or even a ghost.
If you have reached the level of a fierce ghost, how can you choose to possess someone if you are just a fierce ghost?
You know, fierce ghosts are equivalent to the second most difficult existence.
Those who are not afraid of yang energy or real fire and who have regained their consciousness are called ferocious ghosts. In other words, ferocious ghosts already have their sanity and can sit in a ghost realm, but they possess a mortal woman. This is somewhat unsatisfactory in itself.
normal.
And as far as Mu Yi knows, Yan Li's daughter was possessed more than a year ago. For such a long time, the mortal body simply cannot bear it. She should have died long ago, but according to Yan Li's words, his daughter
He is clearly alive and well, but still possessed by a fierce ghost.
Or is it that Yan Li's daughter has died long ago, and the daughter he calls now is just a fierce ghost. This can be explained. But why is a fierce ghost like this? So many questions flashed in Mu Yi's mind.
Yan Li had been paying attention to Mu Yi's expression. When he noticed that Mu Yi's expression had changed, his heart suddenly thumped and he had a bad premonition.
"Taoist Master, is my daughter okay?" Yan Li asked nervously.
"It's hard to say, but this ghost is quite strong. You should get out of here first, otherwise it may cause accidental injuries." Mu Yi shook his head and said.
"This..." Hearing that he was asked to leave, Yan Li immediately hesitated, but became even more worried.
"Don't worry, Prefect Yan. As long as your daughter is still alive, I will definitely keep her safe." Mu Yi knew what Yan Li was worried about, so he said.
"As long as you are still alive? Taoist priest, what do you mean?" After Yan Li heard Mu Yi's words, his heart kept sinking. He did not suspect that Mu Yi was lying to him, because there was no need for him and he wanted him
It is undoubtedly impossible to accept reality like this.
Since his wife's death, Yan Li has not married and raised his daughter alone. It can be said that this daughter is his lifeblood. He is even willing to sacrifice himself for his daughter. He still remembers when his wife died.
, holding his hand and asking him to take good care of his daughter.
But his daughter had an accident, so he has been tortured every day for more than a year. Although he is only forty years old, his temples are already gray. He even had many opportunities to go further, but he gave up all because of his daughter.
For him, his daughter is the most important thing. If his daughter is really gone, he cannot bear the blow at all, and he will not be able to explain to his wife after his death.
"It's not certain yet, but Magistrate Yan doesn't need to worry too much. There is a high chance that your daughter will survive, so you should retreat for the time being," Mu Yi said.
"Uncle Yan, it's better to listen to the Taoist Priest, otherwise our presence here will affect the Taoist Priest's performance." Xu Caiwei also advised in time. Although she was also worried, at this time, everything was not her decision. She could only act as if
The identity of a bystander.
With Xu Caiwei's persuasion, Yan Li finally left, leaving Mu Yi alone in front of the courtyard.
After the two left, the wind suddenly picked up around them.
"Dingle bell!"
The sound of wind chimes came from the courtyard. The sound seemed to have a magical power, causing people to hallucinate. However, it had no effect on Mu Yi. Not to mention that he had experienced a change of heart and his will became stronger. Even before,
Even this magical sound cannot affect him.
But Mu Yi also knew that the ghost inside had already known of his arrival, and the demonic sound was just a warning.
"interesting."
Mu Yi stepped forward and pushed the door open. As the door opened, the wind around him suddenly stopped, and even the wind chimes stopped ringing.
This is a very exquisite courtyard, with rockeries, pools, and pavilions. Although it has been cleaned for a year, the place is still very clean, but the cold atmosphere makes it unsuitable for people to live.
The pavilion was originally empty, but as Mu Yi pushed the door open, there was a figure there instantly. He had white hair, white clothes, and a white skirt. He looked plainly dressed in white, giving the impression that he was like an ice sculpture that was always exuding chill.
"Are you Yan Qing?" Mu Yi asked.
"Yan Qing? What a familiar name." In the pavilion, the woman said softly, "Are you here to kill me too?"
"No, I'm here to save you." Mu Yi said as he walked towards the pavilion. The closer he got, the more he could feel the coldness on the other person's body. Although this coldness was strong, there was no evil at all.
On the contrary, this power is very pure.
This couldn't help but make Mu Yi even more curious about Yan Qing. What kind of existence was the possessed ghost? Moreover, the person in front of him was clearly a physical body, and there was a vitality in his body. Obviously, the other person was not dead.
"Save? Why do I need you, a little Taoist priest, to save you?" The confusion in Yan Qing's eyes disappeared, and she looked at Mu Yi indifferently.
Mu Yi felt a huge pressure fall on him out of thin air, causing his body to tremble and a look of horror in his eyes.
"Who are you?" Mu Yi blurted out.
This palace? The pressure is unbearable for him. The woman in front of him is definitely not Yan Qing, and the origin of the ghost is probably beyond his imagination. No wonder she exudes such pure Yin Qi. I am afraid this is just because
It's because she hasn't completely mastered it yet. Otherwise, once she masters it, even Mu Yi won't be able to notice it at all.
"Aren't you here to catch ghosts? I am the ghost you call me, little Taoist priest, do you dare to catch me?" Yan Qing looked at Mu Yi and asked.
"Why not?" Mu Yi was taken aback, but quickly calmed down. Maybe this ghost had a great identity before, but that was just the past after all. Now she has been attached to Yan Qing's body for a year, and she can't even breathe.
If he can't completely restrain himself, what should he fear?
Although Mu Yi has also not recovered, but there is a fire lamp, Nanming Lihuo can just restrain the ghosts. I believe that he still has the power to fight. (To be continued)
