Mo Chuan glanced at the remnants of the incense sticks in the pottery bowl of the Land Temple, as well as the new ashes that had been burned out, and said:

"Mo, I've seen Tubo. Tubo's eyes are like torches, I am indeed not a person from these ten miles and eight towns, and I happened to pass by today and bothered me. ”

"Don't bother, don't bother. I watched Mr. Mo's incense lingering, and he was in a hurry on a starry night, so I didn't bother if I thought there was something urgent. ”

The old man of the land returned the salute and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He eats cottage incense, so he naturally has the responsibility to protect the cottage.

Tonight, the dog barked more than once, and if he didn't ask clearly, his heart was not steady after all.

"Tuber is gracious! By the way, when I was just passing by Guizhai, I once heard a woman offer incense and pray, and once said that her husband would ask him every day, what happened? ”

Mo Chuan's heart moved.

"Alas, a pitiful matter, Mr. is interested, and it doesn't hurt to talk."

The land elder looked at Mo Chuan's incense breath, and expected that he was also a ghost fairy with "Erqingtian", not a poor and vicious person, so he simply came out one by one.

It turned out that the woman's name was Liu, and her husband Li Guanqi was the only scholar who walked out of the village in a hundred years.

Although he did not gain fame, he relied on his ability to read and hyphenate, and sought a position in Qingshui County and served as the county treasurer.

I thought it was a good thing that the ancestral tomb was smoking!

No, he's just an unlucky guy who is used by the county order to take the blame.

Less than two months after taking office, the county treasury is empty, and under torture, he has already pleaded guilty and is waiting to be punished!

In this matter, Qingshui County has done a secret from the sky and the sea, and it does not leak.

It's a pity that the more this kind of selfish deed, the more you can't hide it from the gods, well, to be precise, ghosts and fairies from all walks of life.

"That's how it is!"

Mo Chuan sighed, there was really nothing new under the sun.

"Tu Bo is a god of virtue and blessing in this cottage, and his people are framed, but there is a way to rescue him?"

The old man of the land was shocked when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again:

"Mr. said with a smile, I am not false to be incense in the village, but after all, it is just a small piece of land, and it is not easy to protect this land from the invasion of evil! Where else do you have the ability to enter the city of the human race that is full of yang energy like flowing fire? ”

"Besides, Yin Si has the rules of Yin Si, and there are human laws in the world, how dare I, an old man who is lucky enough to enjoy incense, do this transgressive thing?"

Mo Chuan didn't expect that the old man of the land would react so much.

However, this also proves many of the points in the old Taoist teachings.

After all, this world is still dominated by people.

"Yin Si rules? Tubo has seen the legendary ghost emperor Yan Jun? Mo Chuan inquired.

"Sir, this has tormented me, how can I see such a legendary figure? I heard that their old man lives in the Nine Shadows to the extreme, how can I and others who float in the shadows of the sun be delusional? ”

Mo Chuan bowed his head, inquired a few more words, and saw that the old man of the land looked more and more vigilant, and looked at him left and right, so he asked the last doubt.

"Dare to ask Tubo, how to get to Qingshui County?"

"Twenty miles to the west, we will be there."

The land elder breathed a sigh of relief and pointed in a direction.

"Thank you for your advice, there will be a date later."

Mo Chuan clenched his fists and then fled to the west.

'This ghost immortal, can't he want to take care of the Li family's affairs? Looking at its cultivation, Jiazi has not arrived, it should be a new ghost immortal, this is afraid that it is a moth to fight the fire! ’

The land elder watched Mo Chuan disappear in the direction, muttered in his heart, secretly pinched a handful of cold sweat that did not exist, and immediately retreated into the land temple.

……

……

The twenty miles that the land old man said are really twenty miles in a straight line.

As soon as Mo Chuan came out of the mountain pass, he saw a gray city, located at the foot of the mountain, climbing high and looking at it, stacked like a mound.

The glowing yang energy spreads from the city, making the ghosts frightened.

Mo Chuan glanced at the sky and saw that it was still early in the morning, so he simply went into the city to take a look.

When you get closer, you find out where is the city?

It looks more like a town fenced with an earthen dam.

It looks like an old turtle entrenched, and there are almost no lights.

It is worth mentioning that when you look at the sunny city from afar, it is as light as smoke when you look closely, and there is a feeling of "grass color is close but there is no grass color from afar".

Mo Chuan was angry, and entered the city through the gap in the city gate.

The street is quiet, and every family has long gone to sleep.

"Bang! Bang! ”

"At the second time, close the doors and windows to prevent theft and theft."

The dull sound of beating was heard, adding a bit of popularity to the night.

Mo Chuan took a breath, recalled the old land's instructions, and headed south of the city.

It was the county prison.

- Li Guanqi is being held there.

After about a tea time, a courtyard of blue bricks and tiles that is very different from a private house comes into view.

Looking up, on the lintel of the courtyard, the word "prison cell" was written from right to left.

In the middle of the two characters, a huge stone cat's head is carved.

Mo Chuan glanced at it, and his footsteps did not stop.

He was about to burrow through the crack in the door, but as soon as he got closer, the cat-headed statue suddenly let out a shocking roar.

"Roar—"

In Mo Chuan's eyes, a huge tiger head came out of the wall from the cat's head statue, as big as a mountain body, draped in red flames, and was masculine and strong.

As soon as Fang appeared, he roasted Mo Chuan's whole body with pain, like bathing in the scorching sun.

"Not good!"

Mo Chuan was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to return to his body.

"Daoyou, this way!"

Suddenly, a call behind him made Mo Chuan's heart move and stop the idea of leaving.

After glancing over, he saw that at the entrance of the dark alley, a middle-aged Taoist wearing a Xuan crown and a kudzu robe was waving at him.

Seeing this, Mo Chuan hurriedly hurried over.

At the same time, when I looked back, I saw that the red tiger was full of flames, and he did not chase after him.

It landed at the door of the prison cell, shaking its head, showing its teeth and claws, so imposing!

"Why did Daoyou scare that prison guard?"

The middle-aged Taoist asked.

Raccoon?

Mo Chuan was stunned, the cat's head statue turned out to be a fox?

It is rumored that the fox is the seventh son of the long dragon of the scale insects, resembling a fierce tiger, and is litigious and powerful.

Therefore, the folk carved it in the prison place to suppress evil spirits and shelter sentient beings.

"I happened to be passing by, and I didn't want to alarm the beast." Mo Chuan replied.

"I see!"

The middle-aged old man arched his hand: "The poor road is a member of the Chisong Palace, and he is a heavy stone." Poor Taoist friends, surrounded by incense, I don't know which Taoist temple it comes from? ”

"Don't dare to be, the poor road is to help Luanguan, and you are a void." Mo Chuan has the heart to test one or two.

"It turned out to be a friend of Fuluan Guandao, and I have admired it for a long time!"

Chongshizi gave up his hand again, and without waiting for Mo Chuan to reply, he said:

"Listening to what Daoist friends say, it seems that the opportunity for poor Daoist to set up a fortune yesterday should be on Daoyou."

Mo Chuan looked dazed.

Chongshizi said: "Do you know that Daoist friends have beheaded the giant bandit Qian San here?" ”

"I don't know."

"......" Chongshizi smiled: "This son has been the head for ten years, and it is normal for Taoist friends not to know." ”

"Sounds unusual?"

"That's right! Ten years ago, Qian San wandered here from nowhere, killing people like hemp, full of evil. After being arrested by the government, he was beheaded in this Qingshui County and City, and beheaded to show the public! ”

Chongshizi paused, and said with a serious face: "Now it has come out to do evil again." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Mo Chuan asked.

Everyone has been beheaded, why do they do evil?

Didn't you become a ghost?

"Daoyou has already guessed it! As the saying goes: life is a masterpiece, death is also a ghost; The head falls and the body is dead, but the ghast remains. ”

"After this Qian San died, he turned into a ghost, died by beheading, and naturally became a headless ghost."

"I don't want to, because he committed a great crime during his lifetime, after being beheaded, he passed on the nine sides and abandoned the corpse in the wilderness, this head is nowhere to be found, and after ten years of grudges, he has become a ghost."

When Mo Chuan heard this, he was shocked.

He heard the old Taoist of Fuluan Guan say that Taoism said that there are four evil ghosts in this world, and the headless ghost is one of them.

A headless ghost is not a simple ghost who dies with a severed head.

This kind of evil ghost is often born among soldiers and bandits.

Only people with great obsession, great luck, and great murderous spirit can be bred!

"The poor Dao has the intention to exceed, but the Tao is lacking, so he uses the art of divination to seek to solve the opportunity, and now it seems that the opportunity should be on the Taoist friend."

Speaking of this, Chongshizi became more and more serious, and made a big salute:

"Poor Dao implores Taoist friends to help him, after the matter is completed, Poor Dao is willing to erect a monument for Taoist friends to worship, and enjoy the incense of Chisong Palace forever."
