The sun is rising, and the morning glow is all over the sky.

The gate of the Zou manor slowly opened, and the head of the Zou family and a group of people walked out surrounded by Zhao Sheng and Gui Li.

Whew!

With a tiger roar, two white tigers dragged the rune flying car from a distance, and stopped in front of Zhao Sheng and the others in a blink of an eye.

"Master Zou, please stay!" Seeing this, Gui Li turned around and saluted the head of the Zou family.

"It's just a small courtesy, and please smile at the two adults!"

The old master of Zou was full of smiles, and as soon as he raised his hand, he saw that the people on the side immediately stepped forward and presented two mahogany carve boxes.

There was no need to be polite at all, Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, and his own coachman stepped forward to accept these two "thin gifts".

Parting gifts are a tradition that has been handed down from ancient times in Hufeng County and even the entire Dagu Dynasty. Of course, the identity of the guests is different, and the thickness of the gifts received is also very different.

At this time, Guili suddenly looked at Zhao Sheng and persuaded: "Sanbao, do you really want to follow?" It's better to stay in the manor for a few days. How about my brother pick you up again in three days? ”

"Senior brother, don't be verbose. Today, when I talk about breaking the sky, I also want to see how Fa-rectification cultivation subdues demons and eliminates demons. Zhao Sheng looked curious, and said in a very firm tone.

"Senior Brother Bao, don't go! Why don't we go with you? There was an entourage boy whose eyes rolled and suddenly pleaded.

"Yes! The Zou family manor has food and drink, and there are many fun plays. Why did Senior Brother Bao go to the filthy lowly realm in person. ”

"Senior brother, where you go, I will follow you!"

"Hmph, don't say it." When Zhao Sheng heard this, he said impatiently: "The master is determined to go back this time, don't persuade any of you, stay here well." Don't make trouble for me, and don't poke out the big basket. Otherwise, after returning to the mountain, the master will have your good looks. ”

After speaking, Zhao Sheng looked at a round-faced young man and ordered: "Zou Qi, this is your home, you take care of these for me." There are benefits for you in the future. ”

"Senior Brother Bao, don't worry, I will definitely entertain several junior brothers." The round-faced boy hurriedly patted his chest and reassured.

"Hmph, I entered the mountain a year earlier than Zou Qi, so I should be a senior brother." The chubby tall boy next to him immediately shouted after hearing this.

Zhao Sheng ignored these two pieces of goods, turned around and jumped on the flying car, and got into the carriage and lay down.

Gui Li shook his head when he saw this, nodded at everyone in the Zou family again, and also flashed into the car.

Oh!

As the coachman whistled, the two white tigers rushed out, and the rune car quickly galloped into the distance.

After running for more than ten miles, Zhao Sheng in the carriage opened the mahogany car.

As far as the eye can see, a row of egg-sized, jade-white lower-grade spirit stones are neatly placed on the red silk, exuding surging fluorescence.

"Hehe, plus mine, a total of twenty spirit stones, the Zou family has calculated the capital this time." Gui Li also lifted the lid of the box, and after taking a look at the contents, a smile appeared on his face.

"Well, and the stack of talismans, the Zou family also bought all thirty-six spirit stones, and the price was two percent higher than the market price. Return to Senior Brother, after the spirit stone is sent to the mountain, how about we have twenty-eight points? ”

"Hey, Sanbao, why did you change your temper this time? is actually willing to give dividends to his senior brother? After hearing this, Gui Li's expression was very surprised.

Zhao Sheng closed the lid and said with a clear expression: "Senior brother, I am no longer a three-year-old child, I should have understood the rules for a long time." Since ancient times, eating alone has not ended well. ”

"Three Jewels, you have such an awareness at a young age. Senior brother is very optimistic about you, and the mantle of adults will depend on you in the future. Gui Li smiled slightly when he heard this, and said half-truthfully.

"Senior brother has won the award, my three treasures ......!"

Just as the two were talking on the road, the thirty-mile journey passed in a blink of an eye.

Under the guidance of the leader, the rune car rushed into a tattered village.

"Where's your head Liu Sanjiao? Hurry up and call over to greet the nobles. Today, the two mages of the Requiem Temple are here to wait for you to slay demons.

If you don't hurry up and call someone, if you neglect the noble, I will tell you to wait until you are full and walk! ”

The leader of the way was a steward of the Zou family, who had just jumped off the speeding car, and he rushed to the cowering villagers on the side of the road with a proud face, shouting three and four times.

The organic spirit hurriedly spread the girl and ran to the village, and the remaining group of people were like quails, kneeling beside the road with a puff, and did not dare to raise their heads.

Zhao Sheng got down from the carriage and saw this scene at a glance, his brows furrowed slightly, but it was fleeting.

Looking around, all you can see are low and cramped thatched houses, most of the outside of the house are simply surrounded by tree branches, and most of the two or three black-haired chickens are raised in the fence, which looks thin and thin.

The roads of Zhuangzi are muddy and narrow, potholes, and dung and water flow on the ground, most of the Zhuangzi people have yellow and thin faces, most of them are bare-chested, and their lower bodies are wrapped in burlap pockets, and the little children are walking birds, and their skin is black and shiny.

"My lord, this place is Liujiazhuang. Recently, the former head of the village was all killed by ghosts, and they died miserably. The steward of the Zou family took advantage of the time to tell Zhao Sheng and the others about the recent strange incident of the ghost asking for his life.

Zhao Sheng looked around and didn't speak, while Guili was much more careful and kept asking the steward.

After a while, four or five Zhuang men ran from the village to this side, led by an old man with gray hair and a yellow face.

When they came closer, the old man and his group knelt down all of a sudden, shouting to welcome the nobles... Sluggish... Forgive disrespectful Yunyun, and speak extremely skillfully.

When Zhao Sheng spoke, these Zhuang men got up from the ground, but their waists were bent sharply, as if they were afraid of being taller than the little nobles.

"Liu Sanjiao, you hurry up and tell the nobleman how your brother's whole family died tragically. Don't panic, or you won't be the head of the temporary bank. ”

"Alas, don't worry, Steward Zou. I must be attentive, I must be attentive! ”

As he spoke, the yellow-faced old man looked at Zhao Sheng and the others with a smile on his face.

After waiting for his eyes to signal, his waist suddenly fell by half, and he said with a sad face: "Things have to start from half a month ago......

After half a cup of tea, the yellow-faced old man stopped his mouth and looked at Zhao Sheng and Guili very worriedly, but most of his attention was on Guili in a Taoist robe.

As for Zhao Sheng! An eight-year-old little doll, even if her status is noble, is not as strong as another mage.

Gui Li's brows relaxed after hearing this, and he said seemingly easily: "The ghost thing that is haunting should have just been born, no matter how fierce it is, it is just a ghost resentful." I thought it was an old ghost, but it turned out to be a new ghost. Senior brother, this matter is easy. ”

Zhao Sheng didn't speak, but at this time he shouted with a cold face: "You Zhuangtou should be damned!"

The yellow-faced old man's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he hurriedly defended in a panic: "Noble, we are wronged!" We have been doing this since ancient times. When the bride passes through the door, she must let the head of the village taste the soup. This is to check whether the mother-in-law has stolen anyone, and the second is to collect phoenixes.

How did my eldest brother know that the mother-in-law was so fierce, she hanged herself on the day she passed the door, and after she died, she turned into a ghost and asked for her life. Pity my old sister-in-law and my two eldest nephews. They didn't do any evil at all, but they were all asked for their lives. ”

The more the yellow-faced old man spoke, the more he felt aggrieved, and in the end, he couldn't help but cry, and even the people next to him also shed tears.

"Our Zhuangtou is righteous, and it has been three years since the blood tax of other Zhuangzi was received, and we have only been for two years. Even the interest rate is a few percent lower than that of other Zhuangzi, and the owner of the village is righteous! There was a bold whisper to help a sentence.

Gui Li suddenly snorted coldly, and suddenly knelt down in a large area.

"Senior brother, phoenix is a kind of precious blood designated by this sect, this thing is both life and death, and has many mysterious functions." Returning to the surging explanation of a sentence.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and his tone was very cold: "Get up, take me to see the scene."

Liujiazhuang is not large, only 100 households, Zhuangzi only has a dirt road connecting the inside and outside, and a blue brick compound at the end of the dirt road is the place where the incident occurred.

There are ten large tiled houses in this courtyard, five of which are for people living in the north and south, two on the left are livestock houses, two on the right are kitchens and utility rooms, and one is a granary with bluestone walls.

At this time, in the open space in the middle of the courtyard, there were four thin pine coffins, and the coffins were covered with black-winged black flies.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the other Zhuang people immediately stopped, their expressions were full of fear and panic, but the yellow-faced old man ran over first, waving his hands wildly to drive away the black flies.

Zhao Sheng looked at the black blood scabs all over the ground at the door of the main house, and his face was thoughtful.

Gui Li strode to the coffin, and with a wave of the sleeves of his robe, the coffin lid was suddenly lifted to the ground.

"Senior brother, come and see."

Zhao Sheng stepped forward in response and looked down at the coffin, only to see that the corpse's skin was pale, covered with corpse spots, and his face was full of despair and fear, but there was no scar on his body.

Looking at the other three corpses, it was the same.

When Gui Li saw this scene, he couldn't help but nod secretly, thinking: "The corpse stinks like this, but the junior brother's face does not change, it seems that everyone underestimates him." Sambo is not as frivolous and arrogant as it seems. ”

"Well, this person's soul was indeed devoured by the ghost, and there were no scars on his body, but blood flowed all over the ground. Senior brother, that ghost is not simple! I'm afraid it has the ability to suck blood from the air. ”

"It's not uncommon for ghosts to have a strange talent, and it's just blood-sucking. However, this ghost creature was able to kill four people in a row as soon as it was born. It must not be allowed to go on again, or it will become a great scourge in 100 years. Gui Li looked around, and his expression was extremely cold.

"Strange, where is the female corpse?" After Zhao Sheng muttered to himself in a low voice, he looked at the yellow-faced old man and asked, "Where is the hanging female corpse now?" Take us to see it. ”

When he heard this, his gaze turned to this person.

"Huh... Your Excellency, corpse... The body had suddenly disappeared from the courtyard the night before. ”

The yellow-faced old man knelt down again, and his voice trembled as if he was very afraid that the adults would blame him.

"Hey, are you a living corpse?"

Gui Li's face was happy after hearing this, and he immediately flipped his hands, and there was an extra yellow paper talisman on his fingertips.

He said something in his mouth, and then with a sword point, a flame suddenly ignited on the talisman, burning it into ashes, and at the same time, a circle of golden light spread out extremely quickly, enveloping the entire courtyard.

In the next second, four puffs of gray gas rose from the four coffins, which were conspicuous in the golden light.

Gui Liwangzhi, his brows furrowed, "It's strange, there is no corpse qi of that female corpse here?" ”

Zhao Sheng said: "Senior brother, it doesn't matter where the female corpse ran or was stolen by some master. The important thing is to get rid of the evil spirit first, so that it does not harm others. ”

"Senior brother... Well, the junior brother is reasonable, the senior brother, I am happy to see the hunt, and I was in love with the picture just now. ”

With that, Gui Li moved from the cuff, and a palm-sized black porcelain bottle fell into his hand.

He recited the words, and poured his spiritual power into the porcelain bottle, only to see a white light bloom at the mouth of the bottle, and then a three-foot-tall blue-black figure appeared from the bottle.

The whole body of the figure exuded the smell of incense and fire, and bursts of cold breath poured out of its body, and the temperature in the courtyard suddenly dropped rapidly, like a sudden fall of frost.

When the sun is in the sky, this ghost is not afraid of the sun.

Zhao Sheng looked at it and immediately realized that this ghost was a spirit ghost that had been cultivated by the secret method of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

"Heaven is supreme, ten thousand ghosts bow down! Ghost Hunting, Go! Gui Li shouted urgently, and saw that after swimming quickly in the courtyard, the spirit ghost suddenly turned into a wisp of black smoke and flew out of the hospital.

"Senior brother, you stay here, don't move!"

After hurriedly leaving a sentence, Guili suddenly rushed out like an arrow.

Zhao Sheng walked out of the courtyard in a few steps, only to see the back of Gui Li.

Only a few figures flickered, and in the blink of an eye, others disappeared behind the mound miles away.

The mound was overgrown with weeds, and a few dirt bags were faintly bulging among the grasses, which seemed to be several tombs.

Zhao Sheng saw that he couldn't catch up, so he stopped.

Suddenly, he turned his head, stared at the yellow-faced old man with his eyes like lightning, and asked coldly, "Say!" How do people die? ”

"Noble, I have been wronged! People are really hanged, I... I really don't know how the body is gone. I wonder too! The yellow-faced old man looked wronged.

"It seems that if you don't suffer a little, you won't tell the truth." Zhao Sheng smiled coldly, stepped forward in two steps, and poked his finger half an inch below the old man's chest and abdomen.

Oh!

The yellow-faced old man was poked, his old face was white, and he suddenly let out an inhumane howl, and his body curled up into a ball and rolled on the ground in pain.

In just two breaths, this person sweated and rained, soaked his clothes, and his whole body convulsed violently, almost fainting.

But he was never in a coma, but the more he hurt, the more awake he became, as if he was tormented in hell.

After another dozen breaths, it is estimated that the fire is almost over.

Zhao Sheng kicked on the old man's Fengshen acupoint and untied the secret hand.

"Say, How do people die? Where did the corpses go? Don't tell the truth, the master makes life worse than death! ”

In his opinion, since there has been such a ridiculous thing as the right of the first night in the local area since ancient times, the new daughter-in-law should not hang herself for such a thing.

There must be something strange in it.

"Adult, small confession... The small one must confess! That little daughter-in-law really hanged herself, but my damn head has a habit of abusiveness. I really played too much that day, and the little daughter-in-law couldn't bear the torture, so I couldn't think about it for a while and hanged herself! ”

"What about the corpses?" Zhao Sheng's voice was as cold as ice.

"Corpses? I swear to God that the corpse is really not hidden by us, it is really a night's work and it is gone. We were scared too. ”

At this moment, the steward of the Zou family, who had been silent, suddenly kicked over the yellow-faced old man, and shouted angrily: "You deserve to die!" The Zou family's reputation for kindness and righteousness has been ruined by your bastards. The local people are simple and simple, and the people are pure and kind, I didn't expect such evil things to happen! Your Liujiazhuang is very good. When I go back, I will definitely cure the sins of the others! ”

After saying that, Steward Zou's expression changed sharply, and he smiled at Zhao Sheng flatteringly: "My lord, you are angry, don't be angry because of a bunch of ignorant fools."

Zhao Sheng didn't pay attention to this person at all, his gaze suddenly turned to the side of the mound, his eyes were extremely deep, calm as water.

At this time, Guili had just turned over the mound, and he rushed over to this side with a happy expression, holding a pitch-black porcelain altar in his hand.

"Senior brother, it's really worth the trip! This female ghost has excellent qualities, and after the sacrifice, she is a rare high-grade spirit ghost. As soon as Guili came back, Mei Zizi said to Zhao Sheng.

"Senior brother, I'm tired! You can do what you save. ”

Seeing that the junior brother was a little excited, Gui Li shook his head secretly, "Sure enough, the original form was revealed." Children's interest comes and goes faster! He didn't even pay attention to the benefits of a first-class ghost. ”

"It's good! Let's leave for the next one. ”
