Chapter 31: Monks and Taoists
Standing in front of the gate of the Liu family's mansion, Lin Shen looked at the imposing gate in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, rich people are different, this house is very historical at a glance, and it is impossible to have such a house without a little background.
"I said, Miss, didn't you say you saw a ghost? What are you bringing me here? This is not your house. Lin Shen asked puzzled.
"What, this is my grandfather Liu's house, today's family reunion is the old man's birthday, so they all came to the old mansion. Jiang Xiaolu said with some embarrassment, and called Lin Shen over so late.
"Then how can you see ghosts?" Lin Shen asked, just have a good party at the party, why provoke ghosts.
"I'm not sure if I've seen a ghost. Jiang Xiaolu was a little uncertain: "This house has been around for a hundred years, and it is my uncle's ancestral home, they have lived here for generations, and this kind of thing has not happened before." ”
When he said this, Jiang Xiaolu seemed to have seen something incredible, and his pretty face was a little pale.
"Let's go, talk as you go, go in first. Seeing this, Lin Shen said.
"Hmm. Jiang Xiaolu answered, and walked into the gate with Lin Shen, but he kept next to Lin Shen, not daring to go too far from Lin Shen, as if there was a monster in the courtyard.
"The owner of this courtyard is called Liu Chengyong, and his ancestor served as the governor of Rongcheng in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but because he is a Han Chinese, he has not been promoted in his life, and he has been a governor for a lifetime.
But after his death, he left behind this house and a large amount of family wealth, and later generations took advantage of this to develop, until now, it has become a big family.
Now there are several elders of their family who live in the ancestral house, and the juniors are all doing their own things outside, but a family event will be held on the fifteenth day of every month, and today is just in time for Liu Chengyong's 80th birthday, so many people were invited to participate.
There is a well in this house, the well water is very sweet, and the tea and wine brewed with the water in this well taste very good, so it is loved by many people, but this well water is not sold to the outside world, only for their own family to drink, only a few close families can get well water or wine.
Today is the birthday, the old lady then asked someone to fetch water to make tea, I didn't expect the accident to happen, it was a young master of the Liu family who went to fetch water, when he walked to the well, he suddenly heard the well was 'gurgling' bubbling, like the sound of water boiling, he was a little curious and went up to check, and sure enough, he saw the well water gushing, and the color of the well water became blood red, like blood.
He was frightened, and was about to leave, when suddenly a ghost rushed out of the well, and the ghost was black, but the hair was very long, and the hair stuck out, grabbed him by the neck, and tried to drag him into the well.
He screamed in fright, I happened to be not far from him, I also saw this scene, and hurriedly called people in a hurry, fortunately, the old lady had a birthday today, and invited many people, including several monks and Taoists, one of the Taoists took action to scare away the ghost, but the ghost hid in the well, and no one had a way to let him out. ”
"That's probably the way it is, that's why I'm looking for you. Talking too much in one breath, Jiang Xiaolu's mouth was a little dry, and he took Lin Shen into the house and came to the well.
Lin Shen saw that the well was full of people, and it seemed that he was watching the excitement, Lin Shen frowned, thinking that this group of people was really bold.
Maybe it's because there are a lot of people, so I don't think there's anything to be afraid of.
"Wait a minute. Lin Shen pulled Jiang Xiaolu to stand aside and said.
One of the old men was sitting on a Taishi chair, wearing a silk Tang costume, dark red in color, luxurious and calm, but his face was full of worry, looking at a young man lying at his feet.
Thinking that the man was the one who saw the ghost, the young man was tense, his brows were furrowed, as if he was having a nightmare, and a black gas lingered on his forehead, of course, Lin Shen only saw it with his ghostly eyes, and there was a monk in a white monk's robe squatting on the side, Lin Shen felt a little surprised when he saw it.
There is such a beautiful man in the world.
This is a very handsome monk, fair skin, delicate facial features, a pair of dark eyes are staring at the lying young man seriously, reading unintelligible scriptures, but it sounds very good, as if there is an inexplicable magic influence.
Seeing the expressions of the women on the side looking at the monk, you can know how popular this monk is, and even a few men are looking at this monk with a stupid face.
If she has long hair, she must be a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, Lin Shen thought.
And by the well, a Taoist priest wearing a Xuanqing Taoist robe is holding a copper coin sword, as if he is doing it, this Taoist priest looks white and fat, a pair of small eyes are looking around, there are words in his mouth, and the rune paper in his hand suddenly spontaneously combusts without fire, which makes the onlookers amazed.
"Ah, where are the ghosts, don't give Dao Ye the current situation. ”
The fat Taoist priest's eyes were rolling around, and when he saw everyone's amazement, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes, and he worked harder.
On the other hand, on the monk's side, with the monk's chanting, the man's brows on the lie gradually began to soothe, and the black gas lingering between his eyebrows also dissipated most of them.
"Thank you Master Wu for your help, my grandson is okay, right?"
Seeing that the man lying down was getting better, Master Wu stopped chanting, stood up and said to the old lady, "Childe is fine, just get some sleep." ”
"Okay, hurry up and bring Komatsu to the room. The old lady hurriedly asked the young man to take away.
"These two monks and Taoists are quite capable, let's take a look first. Lin Shen said to Jiang Xiaolu, because Lin Shen felt spiritual power in the two of them, this was the first time Lin Shen saw a ghost hunter other than himself, which made Lin Shen want to see more.
Thinking of this, Lin Shen also thought of another ghost in Rongcheng, I don't know why I haven't seen him, and I don't see him coming to find him, but Lin Shen didn't think much about it, he would always see him if he wanted to see him.
"Mage, this ghost?" asked the old woman.
"Old lady, you are optimistic, Master Zhou has a way. Wufu said calmly on the side.
The fat Taoist priest didn't hear what the fat Taoist said, at this time, he was trying to find a way to lure the ghost out, the ghost probably felt that there were a lot of people, and he didn't want to come out, so he let the fat Taoist do it, and there was no movement in the well.
Seeing this, the fat Taoist priest gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and he took out a pile of dark coins from his pocket with a painful face, Lin Shen saw that the fat Taoist priest actually took out the dark coins, his eyes widened, and he was a little incredible.
Because that dark coin is the same as the one that you exchange for merit, and the yin energy is surging on the dark coin, it is the supreme treasure of a ghost path cultivator.
"Could it be that this coin is everywhere?" Lin Shen felt that he had been deceived by the system, and he said that this is the only one, and there is no other semicolon.
"......" system.
The fat Taoist priest put the dark coin at the mouth of the well, held the copper coin sword, pinched a sword trick, and faced the well.
"What is this for? What did he put there?" Jiang Xiaolu asked.
"It's a nether coin, maybe it's trying to attract ghosts. Lin Shen said.
"What this donor said is that it is a spiritual coin made by the Daomen, which contains abundant yin energy, and is very attractive to ghosts. Master Wu glanced at Lin Shen with a little meaning, and then added.
Only then did Old Man Liu discover Jiang Xiaolu and Lin Shen: "Xiaolu, who is this?"
"Grandpa Liu, this is my college classmate, named Lin Shen. Jiang Xiaolu pulled Lin Shen, and then introduced, Jiang Xiaolu was smart and didn't say that Lin Shen was also a ghost hunter.
"Oh, it turned out to be Xiaolu's classmate, and now RB is the old man's birthday, I didn't expect this to happen, little brother, please don't be surprised. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, the kid is already embarrassed to come uninvited, how can I say that the old man was tormented by me. Lin Shen hurriedly said.
"Well, where to go. ”
The old man was about to speak, and suddenly the fat Taoist priest shouted, and Lin Shen looked over, only to see a black figure suddenly appear at the mouth of the well.
The black shadow was suspended at the mouth of the well, his face was unclear in black, his body was wet and dripping, his hair was about to drag on the ground, and he was hunched up. The hand that was as thin as a tree branch was grasping the dark coin that the fat Taoist priest had just put down.
Seeing this, the fat Taoist priest showed joy, and thought to himself, Dao Ye, I finally lured you out, the copper coin sword swung forward with the sword trick, and a golden light shot out, and the entrance seemed to be covered with a thin layer of golden gauze.
Seeing that the well was sealed, and he couldn't go back for the time being, he raised his head and looked at the fat Taoist, and his eyes covered by his hair lit up a blood red.
Suddenly, the whole courtyard was filled with gloomy air, and the temperature dropped to freezing in an instant.
Of course, only the fat Taoist priest and the innocent mage and Lin Shen saw this scene, and the faces of the three of them changed, and they had a bad premonition, and the others only felt that the weather was getting cold instantly, and they had a feeling of panic in their hearts.
"Get out of here and go back to the halls. Master Wu said solemnly.
When everyone heard this, they quickly dispersed, left the courtyard, and walked towards the hall, although they didn't see ghosts, they still had some perception of the surrounding environment, and a sense of impending disaster shrouded everyone's hearts.
Lin Shen was also about to walk to the hall with Jiang Xiaolu, and just as he was about to raise his feet, Master Wu stopped Lin Shen: "This donor, can you stay together?"
Lin Shen actually wanted to catch this ghost, this well ghost is the one in the mission, but this is a level 20 ghost, Lin Shen is two realms behind, how to fight?
But if you accept it, you will go directly to level ten, and there are two helpers by your side, although I don't know how strong these two helpers are, but it is better than Lin Shen fighting alone.
"Little deer, you take the old man in first. Lin Shen said to Jiang Xiaolu.
"Then be careful. ”
When the old man saw this, he was a little stunned in his heart, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
When everyone dispersed, Lin Shen looked at the Innocent Mage and said with a wry smile: "Mage, I can't beat this powerful ghost." ”
"You dead bald donkey, what are you rubbing, I can't hold on anymore. ”
