"Miss, it's time to get up, didn't you say you're going out today" Mingzhi knocked on the door at the door, and then walked into the house with a basin of water, Mingzhi is Lu Jian's personal maid, who has been by her side since she was a child.

Lu Jian sat up and yawned, her ink-like hair falling behind her.

"What time is it?"

"It's Dawn Miss"

Lu Jian stretched, yesterday when she went to help the little boy exorcise the demon in the middle of the night, and after coming back, she tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep, if she didn't have something to do today, she would probably sleep until noon.

Lu Jian lifted the quilt and got out of bed to put on her shoes, Mingzhi took the prepared basin and put it on the dresser on the side, Lu Jian sat in front of the mirror after washing, and Mingzhi helped her comb her hair behind her

"Mingzhi, comb a more ordinary and simple bun today."

"Okay, miss," Mingzhi finished and combed her hair seriously

Lu Jian sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the person in the mirror, this face was very similar to her appearance in modern times, at least seven or eight points similar

Dan lips are bright on the outside, bright teeth are fresh inside, and bright eyes are good.

A small and delicate melon seed face, under the creamy snow skin, there is a faint layer of rouge, long eyelashes trembling slightly, a small and straight nose, and thin lips are delicate like rose petals.

Lu Jian propped his hands on the table and muttered in his heart, if this posture is a woman dressed as a man, I don't believe that anyone will not be able to see that it is a woman dressed as a man.

"Okay, Miss, Mingzhi will go get you clothes"

After Lu Jian changed his clothes, he went out alone, bought some exquisite snacks on the side of the road, and walked towards the southwest while strolling.

In this country, the status of women is still quite high, and they can even participate in scientific examinations to become female officials, but those big official positions such as prime ministers and prime ministers basically do not have women.

Lu Jian ate the last piece of dim sum in her hand, and just arrived at the door of an antique shop, the plaque at the door reads 'Mingxuantang', this is not the first time she has come to this store, although this is an antique shop, but it is not an ordinary antique store, you can buy some unusual things here.

Lu Jian walked to the door and knocked politely with his hand, then pushed the door open and walked in.

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties greeted him and said with a smile, "Miss Lu, you are here."

Lu Jian looked at the middle-aged man and nodded, "Shopkeeper Fang, the hundred ancient coins I ordered last month should have arrived."

"When it's time, I'll go get it for you"

"Well, then it's troublesome for the shopkeeper."

After a few more polite words, the shopkeeper went to fetch something, Lu Jian opened the small wooden box and checked it, nodded with satisfaction, paid the rest of the deposit, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the shopkeeper Fang.

"I don't know what else is going on with Shopkeeper Fang?" Lu Jian held the box in his hand and turned to look at the shopkeeper Fang.

"Miss Lu is also a frequent customer in this store, if you can buy these items, you must have the ability, I have a business here, I don't know if the girl is interested," the shopkeeper said with a mysterious face.

Lu Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, "The shopkeeper Fang has a large number of customers, I don't know if there is anything I need to help with."

This Mingxuantang can gain a foothold in Tianxuan Jingzhou, and has a good reputation, the background must not be simple, ask her for help? I'm afraid it's not that simple.

The shopkeeper Fang laughed twice, and seemed to be a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, this matter is considered to be Fang Mou's help to find others, there is a family surnamed Ma on Nancheng West Street, and the family has suffered from evil, let Fang Mou introduce a knowledgeable person to help drive it away, the price is negotiable, I don't know if the girl is interested"

Then he seemed to be afraid of Lu Jian's refusal and added, "Don't worry, girl, you are an old customer with me, I will definitely not cheat you, and their family also paid me some introduction fees, so naturally I want to find a reliable one."

"How does Shopkeeper Fang know that I am a reliable person" Lu Jian still had the expression that seemed to be smiling just now, she has been in this industry for so long, what customer has not seen it? She can tell clearly what is true and what is false.

This shopkeeper Fang is just trying to find out the strength of her 'regular customer' who suddenly appeared.

Of course, it's nothing, if you're strong, they'll treat you as a dish.

It just so happened that she could take advantage of this opportunity to expand her customers.

Lu Jian looked at the shopkeeper Fang who was waiting for her to reply and said, "Since it is the shopkeeper Fang's help, then he must help him."

After the shopkeeper Fang explained a few words, Lu Jian left with the wooden box.

Early in the morning of the second day

Lu Jian dressed up in disguise and changed into men's clothes, even if she didn't look like a man, she had to change! Then the eyebrows are thickened, the nose shadow is deepened, and there are some freckles and so on

She used to think it was fun to learn pseudophony in modern times, although it can't be pseudonymous, but it's okay to make the voice rough and heavy, and now it's just in handy, and now she looks like she probably can't even see that it's her (the painting looks like a ghost)

Lu Jian looked at herself in the mirror and was quite satisfied, took a look and a look, and then picked up the backpack that had been packed and started to set off

The southern side of the city is a little remote, some distance from the center of the city, and a short suburb in between, so she must have to take a carriage to go, otherwise it will be noon when she walks there

Lu Jian sat in the carriage and looked out from the window, to be honest, this carriage was really unbearable after sitting for a long time, she almost felt that her waist was going to be reversed, if it wasn't for the time on the road, she really didn't want to sit.

When he arrived at Nancheng West Street, Lu Jian got out of the carriage, paid the coachman's car, and after inquiring about the Ma family's residence from passers-by, he walked forward

This Ma family is quite easy to find, it is a big family in the southern city, and I heard that the ancestor is a salt merchant's family

Lu Jian looked at the plaque of the Ma Mansion on the Zhumen in front of him, and secretly said in his heart, when he saw Master Ma for a while, he must raise the price and slaughter him fiercely (Author: How poor are you)

Lu Jian stepped forward and just wanted to talk to the janitor Ding, but Ding was stopped by Ding and asked.

"This... Son? What's the matter?"

"I want to see your master Ma, please inform me, and I will say that it is the person recommended by the shopkeeper Fang."

A moment later

The family who went in to report rushed back, followed by a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old, gorgeously dressed and had a fat body, this man looked like a landlord in a costume drama

Master Ma walked up to Lu Jian, glanced her up and down, and said suspiciously, "You are the master of exorcism recommended by Shopkeeper Fang?" ”

Lu Jian smiled politely and clenched his fists with both hands, "It's exactly below"

"Seeing that you are only sixteen or seventeen years old, can you fight the evil spirit?"

Lu Jian still smiled and said, "Master Ma, in our industry, it's not about age, it's about means."

Master Ma has such an attitude, Lu Jian is not angry, she has seen a lot of this kind of customer, if she thinks about it empathically, if she changes her, she may not believe it very much, but as for the result, she will use her strength to prove it.

Master Ma didn't continue to ask, but his face still had a look of distrust. "Since it's the person introduced by the shopkeeper Fang, it won't be too bad to come, you can come with me."

After entering the Ma Mansion, Master Ma took her left and right and finally came to a side courtyard.

When Master Ma asked her whose name she was taught by, Lu Jian only said that her surname was Lu, and she didn't say anything else. Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Master Ma didn't ask more.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Lu Jian frowned, from the moment they came in, they could feel that the temperature around them had dropped a lot in an instant, and now it was summer, even if the temperature dropped, it should feel cool, and this feeling was like a cold air penetrating directly into the bones, very cold.

The cold seeps out of the house in the middle of the courtyard, and the things in it are definitely not simple

Master Ma walked to the door of the house, wanted to open the door but did not dare to move, and if you looked closely, you could see that his hands were shaking.

Then he raised his hand and wanted to push the door open, but was stopped by Lu Jian, he turned his head and looked at Lu Jian suspiciously, as if he thought she was scared.

"Master Ma, tell me about the condition of the things inside."

It's always good to know the situation, so that you can respond more accurately

Master Ma took his hand back and was silent for a moment, as if he thought of what was inside, and a trace of horror appeared on his face.

"There's... It's my dad."
