After Mr. Ma rectified Mr. Ma, he wanted to leave Lu Jian to eat at home, Lu Jian said: After eating, I am afraid that it will be dark when I get home, and I will be trained. Master Ma just gave up, and then after settling the account for Lu Jian, he called a carriage to see her leave, how enthusiastic and enthusiastic she was

On the way home

Lu Jian sat in the carriage with a helpless face, and continued to lie on the window to watch the scenery, which was quite comfortable. To be honest, the air in this ancient suburb is really good.

Lu Jian: Listen to the rattling sound of the silver colliding with each other, it's really beautiful.

This Jingzhou is the capital of the Tianqi Kingdom, divided into east, west, north and south districts, the imperial city is located in the middle of the Dongcheng District and the Beicheng District, basically the officials of the early dynasty live in the Dongcheng District or Beicheng District, and the Lu Mansion is located in the Beicheng District.

Lu Jian hurried back to the mansion, and as soon as he returned to his yard, Mingzhi hurriedly greeted him

"Miss, you're back, the lord and Shu and the young lady are all waiting for you to eat in the backyard."

Lu Jian raised her eyebrows, this dad wouldn't have found out about what she had done recently, she wasn't worried about revealing her identity, the original owner's personality was somewhat similar to her, and they all liked to think about some strange things.

Subsequently, Lu Jian went back to the house and changed into an elegant white dress, with black waist-length hair scattered over her shoulders, a silver hairpin at the top of her hair, and a bun at will.

Lu Jian walked into the front hall of the backyard, and as soon as she sat down, Father Lu began to nag, saying that she didn't look like a girl, and she ran around every day.

Wen Shu on the side was dressed in a goose yellow long skirt and a goose yellow yarn, with a little powder on her face, a simple and dignified blue bun on her head, and a hollow orchid bead hairpin, simple and generous, dignified and gentle, like an orchid fairy sitting there quietly.

I think I just came back from outside

Lu Jian secretly stuck out her tongue at Wen Shuhe, and said a real nagging with her lips, Wen Shuhe shook her head helplessly at her

After Daddy Lu finished nagging, he finally began to get down to business, "You two girls, it's past the age when you should get married, you... Do you have someone you like? ”

"No," Lu Jian said first.

She has only been here for about three months, how can she have someone she likes, and even if she has, she can't get married now

"Uncle, Shuhe didn't either," Wen Shuhe said with some embarrassment

Daddy Lu breathed a sigh of relief, "Since there is no such thing, you can't be sloppy in marrying, let's eat" In recent days, there have been a lot of matchmakers who have come to kiss, although the child should indeed find a family affair when he is older, but when it comes to really talking about kissing, he is really reluctant.

After eating, the three of them chatted a few words, Master Lu returned to his courtyard, and Lu Jian and Wen Shu chatted in the courtyard

"Sister Shu and sister, I heard my father say that you want to take the entrance examination?" Lu Jian asked

Wen Shuhe nodded and said, "I want to take the entrance examination and be a female official."

"It's not bad to be a female official, but there are all kinds of rules and regulations in the palace and the court, it's really troublesome" Lu Jian thinks it's better to be free, she is now in the country, the country has set up a special investigation team to investigate supernatural events, and she was also invited to join at that time, but she refused, she doesn't like to be restrained or it's better to be free. "But if you like it"

"Well, if I pass the exam, please go to eat and drink, Drunken Xiao Tower, Piaoxiang Pavilion, Si Drink House is up to you" Wen Shu said

"That's good, it's a word" Lu Jian's mouth hooked a smile, and then as if remembering something, he took out a small wooden card from his shirt and handed it to Wen Shuhe, saying, "This is a talisman, keep safe, and after bringing it, I will ensure that the evil will not dare to approach you half a step."

She made a piece for her father, too, but it fell in her house, and someone would send it later. This wooden talisman is carved from hundred-year-old mahogany, and it is expensive

"That's thanks," Wen Shuhe took the wooden card and looked at it happily

The two chatted in the courtyard for a while before returning to their respective courtyards

nighttime

Lu Jian changed into a coarse linen dress and prepared to secretly leave the house.

Don't ask her why she always sneaks out of the house at night, she can't help it.

She had met some local insiders through the shopkeeper of Mingxuan Pavilion before, and bought a piece of goods from a middle-aged woman surnamed Li, and estimated that it had arrived.

Lu Jian skillfully climbed over the wall and went out of the house, and then ran in the direction of Mrs. Li's house.

This Li woman has a special rule, she only sees guests at night, and no matter who goes during the day, she will not see guests, and it is normal for them to have some strange special rules or something in their industry.

Of course, since it is a rule, there must be a reason for it, and it is best not to violate it at will, otherwise it may have terrible consequences.

Knock knock knock...

Lu Jian stood at the end of a small alley and knocked the small wooden door in front of him. This alley is one of the more remote places in Beicheng District, and most people are already asleep at night

There was a knocking sound in the dimly lit alley, accompanied by a few night cat meows every now and then.

Crunch~

A crack opened in the small wooden door, revealing half of Lady Li's face, "Come in"

After saying this, Lady Li walked towards the house.

Lu Jian stepped out and followed, "I'll take the compass I ordered a few days ago," Lu Jian said.

Then Mrs. Li took out a black wooden box from the back room and handed it to Lu Jian, who took the box and checked it, and left after settling the bill.

Lu Jian walked on the road, took out the compass in the black wooden box, and carefully looked at it by the moonlight and the candlelight in the lantern.

The compass is black, about the size of a palm, and the compass used to detect feng shui is very different, this compass is also known as the ghost compass, as the name suggests, it is a compass specially used to find ghosts, on the back of the compass is engraved with ten halls of Yama and the five ghost emperors, the pointer in the center of the front is dark red, and each layer is engraved with strange runes.

Don't look at the compass is only the size of a palm, but the carving is very exquisite, this compass can also be used to measure feng shui, although it may not be as good as the special feng shui compass, but it is absolutely possible to measure the auspiciousness and the direction of the array gate, which is specially requested by Mrs. Li when she was building.

Lu Jian is generally used to find ghosts and set up formations.

Whew~Whew~

Lu Jian, who was originally observing the compass, suddenly raised her head, the weather was sunny today, and there was no wind, but just now there was a cool breeze, and she could clearly feel that there was a yin aura in the wind.

She had been so intently examining the compass that she hadn't even noticed what was ahead of her, but it was a good opportunity to test her new compass.

Lu Jian held the outside of the compass with both hands on the left and right, his feet slightly apart, and placed the compass between his chest and abdomen, and then kept the compass in a stable state, and began to chant the ghost-seeking spell in his mouth.

Then the pointer in the center of the compass began to rotate slowly, and as Lu Jian's last spell was finished, the pointer also stopped, pointing to a direction to the west, and Lu Jian followed the direction to find it.

Those who do their business, no matter where they go, they have to carry a little bit of ghost exorcism and ghost hunting guys, they deal with yin things all year round, and yin qi will naturally stick to their bodies, and yin qi is naturally a good thing for ghosts, so their business is much more likely than ordinary people to encounter ghosts.

As for whether the attracted ghosts dare to approach you, it depends on your ability, so basically they will wear self-defense guys with them, and these self-defense guys are basically positive, which can suppress the yin energy on their bodies, and the ghosts will also be afraid to approach.

After walking for nearly twenty minutes, Lu Jian finally stopped, there was a temple in front of her, although it was quite broken, it was still lit with candles inside, and there would still be people coming to worship on weekdays.

Lu Jian took out a peachwood dagger from his bag, judging from the display on the compass and the surrounding yin qi, it was just an ordinary imp, and it could be destroyed with just one talisman, but it was better to be careful. Be careful to make her live longer.

Lu Jian walked in, and then the scene in front of her made her eyes widen, and she couldn't help clenching her fists....
