Chapter 17: Ghost Hunting
Out of habit, some questions immediately appeared in Li Canghai's mind.
The incense burner has not been touched for decades, so why does it suddenly deviate?
Even if someone can push hundreds of pounds of weight, who would be bored enough to run here in the middle of the night to push this game?
If it wasn't intentional by the pilgrims, who would have done it? What is the purpose?
"Huiguang, there have been frequent thieves recently, carefully inspect the Di cemetery, don't let the thieves take advantage of the loopholes." A middle-aged monk came over with an umbrella and said to the monk.
"Senior brother, don't worry, Huiguang will inspect carefully." Huiguang saluted the monk.
Listening to the conversation between the two, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Li Canghai's mind.
"Could it be that it was some thieves who pushed the incense burner? They want to rob Di Renjie's grave? The more Li Canghai thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
Di Renjie is a famous minister of a generation, Wu Zetian will definitely give him countless treasures to accompany the burial, presumably some tomb robbers are eyeing the treasures in this tomb.
Thinking of this, Li Canghai came up with an idea: If the incense burner was really moved by tomb robbers, would Di Renjie's manifestation have something to do with this matter?
Li Canghai tried to combine the events of the Di cemetery with the Di family, and found that there was no clue between the two.
Tomb robbers are generally for treasure, but what is Di Renjie's manifestation for? If Di Renjie's apparition is a tomb robber playing ghosts, what are they trying to do?
"Could it all be just a coincidence?" Li Canghai couldn't figure out the relationship between the two, so he muttered to himself.
Huiguang had been separated from the middle-aged monk, he walked to Li Canghai's side, and saw that he was a little lost in his soul, so he said: "Everything in the world is formed by the convergence of karma. ”
At this time, Li Canghai's mind was in chaos, his thoughts were like ants spinning in circles, and he couldn't find a way out.
Huiguang's words pulled him out of the chaos like an initiation.
"Yes, there are no coincidences in the world, and all coincidences have their causes. It cannot be a coincidence that Di Gong's apparition and the incense burner move so closely, there must be a special reason. ”
Li Canghai figured all this out, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Master, thank you for your enlightenment, I understand, haha."
Huiguang smiled and bowed down and said, "Amitabha, the donor's wisdom is deeply rooted, and he is really a blessed person. ”
Unable to say anything else to Huiguang, Li Canghai turned around and said goodbye, and hurriedly walked to Di's house.
Back at Di's house, Li Canghai immediately called those servants to buy some hemp rope fishing nets and the like.
Di Qing hadn't slept well since she had experienced the 'Netherworld', and when she returned home this time, she slept until almost noon.
Dragging the long skirt, rubbing his eyes a little lazily, Di Qing was dressed as a small jasper, with a pale pink long skirt and loose hair, Li Canghai was stunned for a full minute before he came to his senses.
"This girl is so charming when she changes her outfit, she is like a fairy descending to earth!" Li Canghai stared at Di Qing directly, and said secretly in his heart.
Di Qing yawned, and when she saw Li Canghai staring at her, the corners of her mouth hooked up with a smug smile.
Di Qing didn't beat him for the first time, and he didn't even threaten him verbally, but asked curiously, "Li Canghai, what are you doing here?" ”
Several domestic servants were busy knotting ropes, while Li Canghai was fiddling with fishing nets, he squinted his eyes and said, "Catch ghosts!" ”
"Catching ghosts?" Di Qing's eyes widened, and she had an incredulous expression on her face.
However, she quickly understood what Li Canghai said, and immediately became excited.
"It's so fun, I've never caught a ghost before!"
Li Canghai looked at her with interest and said, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?" Why are you so excited now? ”
Di Qing glanced at him and said proudly: "Miss Ben has even been to the 'Netherworld Mansion', will she still be afraid of ghosts?" I want to see who the monster is, who dares to pretend to be Miss Ben's ancestor, and I have to let his soul fly away if I catch him! ”
Di Qing said as she waved her fist, looking at the posture and eager to find someone to fight immediately.
At three o'clock, Di Ying and a group of servants hid in the dark, holding the talisman in their hands, staring at the clan hall with a nervous expression.
Li Canghai and Di Qing hid on the roof opposite the clan hall, and they could see the situation inside the clan hall here.
"Canghai, will the ghost really come?" Di Qing asked with an extremely unnatural expression.
Li Canghai stared intently at the clan hall and muttered, "As long as he hasn't found what he's looking for, he should come again." ”
"Looking for something?" Di Qing felt a little inexplicable.
Li Canghai nodded and said, "There are many houses in the Di family, but this 'ghost' has been appearing in the clan hall, I guess there must be something he needs here." ”
Di Qingxiu frowned, and said suspiciously: "There are nothing else in the clan hall, they are all old objects left by some ancestors, and there is not even a valuable one." ”
Time passes little by little, and it is approaching in the blink of an eye.
The clan hall was unusually calm, and there was not the slightest movement.
"What's going on, why hasn't there been any movement at all? Could you have guessed wrong? Di Qing asked a little depressed.
Li Canghai didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on the clan hall, and suddenly a shadow floated in front of the window in the clan hall.
"It's coming!"
Li Canghai pointed to the clan hall, and then released a signal.
A group of domestic servants who were lying in ambush outside the clan hall, after receiving the signal, quietly moved towards the windows with cloth bags in their hands.
Li Canghai went down the eaves, he came to the door, and saw a figure through the crack in the door.
The figure was seven feet long, dressed in a dark robe, and its figure was quite similar to the portrait of Di Gong hanging in the clan hall.
The figure roamed the clan hall around, as if it was really looking for something.
"Who is the ghost who dares to pretend to be Di Gong? This seat has taken you today, a wicked beast! Li Canghai kicked the door open, jumped out, learned the movie dialogue from his previous life, and yelled.
The figure was engrossed in the search, but did not react to the roar, but turned its head calmly.
Li Canghai suddenly gasped, this was exactly the same as Di Renjie's portrait, especially the paleness on his face, it really seemed to have crawled out of the grave.
The 'ghost' and Li Canghai looked at each other for a second, then suddenly raised his arm, and his wide sleeves instantly wrapped around Li Canghai's neck.
The sudden change suddenly caught Li Canghai a little off guard, and the sleeves of his shirt were like a python, wrapping around his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Li Canghai's green muscles were exposed, his eyeballs were protruding, and he would suffocate to death at any time.
In a panic, Li Canghai grabbed the dagger that Di Qing gave him, and he pulled out the dagger and slashed it off his sleeve.
The dagger was so sharp that the sleeve of his shirt was suddenly sliced.
Li Canghai gasped heavily, and at this time, his eyes were fierce, and with a snort, he stabbed the other party hard.
The ghost didn't seem to expect Li Canghai to break free of his sleeves, and his figure was a little bigger, and he instantly floated backwards, suspended in the air.
"Come on!"
Li Canghai struck a blow into the air and immediately whistled.
The ghost was suspended in mid-air, and its empty eyes looked at Li Canghai as if he were looking at a dead man. Hearing Li Canghai shouting, the ghost suddenly turned around and floated towards the window on the left.
