"That's probably how it ......"

The servants of the Zhao family talked for a full hour before telling the ins and outs of the whole story clearly. He was so thirsty that he drank all the water from the bowl in front of him.

"Oh, I see......"

Nan Er nodded, he subconsciously glanced sideways at Xia Zhiciao, who was sitting next to him and was only eating, and saw that the other party had no reaction, so he could only reply by himself.

Xia Zhician put down his chopsticks, he completely ignored Nan Er's plea gaze, and reached out to ask the guy who ran the hall for a pot of tea.

Whew-

Gently blowing the tea leaves fluttering on the tea bowl, watching the hot white mist be blown away, and then slowly gathering after a while.

After taking a sip slightly, the fragrant and slightly bitter tea washed away the remaining taste in the mouth, and after the tea was swallowed, I slowly felt a trace of sweetness.

Yes, this tea is really good.

"Two immortal elders, I have also eaten this meal, and the matter has been clarified, can I ......?"

The servant bowed and saluted:

"Can you go and exorcise ghosts and catch demons for my master? As long as the demon can be removed, my lord is willing to pay 30,000 yuan to thank the two of you......"

"Uh......"

Nan Er was a little embarrassed, he glanced at Xia Zhicicada several times, and saw that the other party still ignored him, so he simply stretched out his foot under the table and kicked the stool where the other party was sitting.

"The tea is still very good......

Xia Zhician put down the teacup, he turned his head to look at the servant, and asked:

"Is your Zhao family far away from here, in what direction?"

"Not far, not far, just two streets away, out of this store turn left to cross street, and then go east a street distance, the biggest house I see is our Zhao family."

The servant made a moment, then pointed out where his house was.

"Well, let's go. There is no need for rewards, and those who are born do not need so much money. ”

The servant was overjoyed, he hurriedly took out the money to settle the meal, and then led Xia Zhician and the others to the Zhao family's mansion.

……

"I thought you wouldn't come, I almost couldn't get off the stage......"

Nan Er smiled a little embarrassedly at Xia Zhicicada, he scratched his head and said.

"Don't have another ......"

Xia Zhician didn't reproach him, but just said in a tone that was not an example.

"Okay, good, don't take it as an example......"

Nan Er originally agreed, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, so he lowered his voice and asked:

"But don't you usually take it as your mission to subdue demons? This time, everyone begged for you, why didn't you agree......"

Nan Er still remembers that when the fog was misty, Xia Zhicicada floated away alone, saying that they did not seek immortals or worship Buddhas in this vein, and practiced all the way to subdue demons and subdue demons.

The figure that disappeared into the river mist, he still remembers it clearly.

"There are demons and ghosts in this world who do evil, and naturally there are people who do evil in the name of demons......"

Xia Zhicicada glanced up at the sky, the blue sky and white clouds occasionally flew a few migratory birds, although it was already autumn, the sunlight at this time still gave people a warm and comfortable feeling:

"I saw it before I entered the town, and there is no evil in this place, so there shouldn't be any demons and ghosts to cause trouble."

"Oh? That means the place can't be haunted......"

Nan Er can also be regarded as a red person who is close to Zhu and a black person who is close to ink, and in the past few days of traveling with Xia Zhicicada, his knowledge of demons and monsters has also increased a lot.

"Someone should be pretending to be a ghost."

Xia Zhician stopped, and he had already arrived at the door of the Zhao family's mansion in front of him.

The Zhao family is the richest man in the local area, and Mr. Zhao is a kind and charitable person, who will always give some clothes, money and food to the poor during the New Year's festival or in a year of famine, and will also set up a porridge shed to give alms to beggars.

But as the saying goes? The richer you are, the richer you are, and the less you have, the less you have.

It may also be the reason why the Zhao family does more good deeds, and the family's business is getting better and better year by year.

Master Zhao is now past the age of confusion, his wife and concubine are beautiful at home, and there is a son and a daughter under his knees.

It's a pity that because most of the family's business is now handed over to his son to take care of, Zhao Gongzi has been doing business abroad all the year round, and now there is something evil in the family, and Zhao Lao is sick.

For a while, there was no backbone in the family, and some people were panicked.

"Immortal Chief, this is our Zhao family."

"Hmm."

Xia Zhician just nodded, he had already walked to the door and couldn't feel a trace of demonic aura, which meant that there would definitely be no demons and ghosts here.

As I was thinking this, I suddenly felt a wriggling of my left sleeve, and something came out.

A dark shadow fell to the ground.

She shook her little ears, stretched her pawns forward, yawned heavily, and took several steps forward with a light step.

All the way to the steps of the Zhao family's gate.

Meow~

The black cat squatted down, raised its right paw with the pink ball of meat and licked it gently, its black tail curling and swinging gently behind it.

"Immortal Chief, you are ......"

Xia Zhician felt a little incredible, he stared at the black cat for a while, and then stared at Nan Er for a while, unable to speak for a long time.

"Look at what I'm doing, where did you come from, this cat?"

Nan Er looked at the interaction between a person and a cat with a puzzled expression.

"That's really...... It's crooked. ”

Xia Zhician strode over and held the black cat in his arms, and he gently stroked the black cat's chin, making the latter purr.

"There's 'that' here...... Is that right? ”

"Meow~"

The cat barked softly almost at the same time as Xia Zhicicada's question, and at the same time, the front paws scratched Xia Zhicicada's fingers a few times, looking at her as if she was saying "yes, yes".

"I got it......"

Xia Zhician gently stroked the black cat in his arms, looked up and down the Gaomen compound in front of him with a playful look, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is really a poor mountain and a water, and there is no way out, and the willow bank is another village.

At this moment, the servant who went in to report came out with a man dressed as a butler.

"Which of you is the one who can subdue demons?"

The housekeeper spoke very politely, he stood on the steps of the door and looked at Xia Zhician and the others with a high-spirited look.

Xia Zhician frowned and did not speak.

Nan Er took two steps forward and stood side by side with Xia Zhicicada, holding his shoulders with both hands, and the long knife was in his right hand.

Both of them have typical temperaments that eat soft rather than hard.

"Second butler, this immortal chief can catch demons ......"

The servant bent down and stretched out his hand to signal in the direction of Xia Zhiciao, and then lowered his voice in the butler's ear and continued:

"And the immortal chief said don't reward money, second steward, I think it's better to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor anyway, let him try it."

"Okay......"

The housekeeper pursed his lips, he looked Xia Zhician up and down again, no matter how he looked at the young man in front of him, he didn't look like a warlock who could subdue demons and subdue demons, but like a rich boy who traveled to the rivers and lakes:

"Anyway, there are not more than two mouths to eat at home."

"You first arrange for them to live in the wing room of the west courtyard, and I will go and tell the old lady ......" This was said to the servant who brought Xia Zhicicada and them here, and the servant quickly nodded yes.

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he went straight back, and he didn't even give Xia Zhician a good face.

"Tsk, what a big shelf......"

Nan Er was speechless, he just couldn't see the appearance of some people, especially this kind of person who has no ability but is a fox and a tiger and a dog.

"It is said that dogs look down on people, and I have learned the ...... today."

He turned around and wanted to leave, thinking that anyway, Xia Zhician said that this place was not haunted, and there was no need for the two of them to be angry here.

As soon as I took a step, I felt like I was being grabbed by the collar at the back of my neck.

Although Xia Zhician was also angry, but for the sake of the black cat's warning, there was definitely something he was looking for here, and he gritted his teeth and accepted this idleness.

"Come back ......"

"Didn't you say that there are no demons doing evil here? So what are we doing here to stay and get angry......

"I can't say it clearly in one sentence or two, I'll explain it to you slowly when I get back."

Xia Zhician let go of his hand, he walked into the Zhao family's compound with the black cat in his arms, and Nan Er could only reluctantly follow him in.

"Don't blame the two immortal elders, our second housekeeper has seen I don't know how many charlatans who claim to be able to subdue demons and subdue demons these days, so when I see the two of them, I feel a little uncomfortable."

The domestic servant was a delicate person, he explained to Xia Zhician while leading the two of them to the west courtyard wing:

"Of course, the two of you are definitely not those charlatans who can only swagger and deceive."

"Zhao Si, what's the place over there?"

Xia Zhician didn't really care what the servant Zhao Si was saying, he only noticed that the black cat in his arms kept looking in the same direction, and his little paws scratched his sleeve robe.

"It's the back house over there, and under normal circumstances, you are not allowed to enter at will."

Zhao Si arranged the room between Xia Zhician and Nan Er, asked the two to rest for a while, and walked out of the west courtyard.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a shout of joy coming from the gate of the Zhao family.

"The eldest young master is back, it's the eldest young master who is back......"

At the gate of the Zhao family, the young son of the Zhao family turned over from the horse, and a servant on the side hurriedly took the reins of the horse and led the horse away.

Zhao Bin, the eldest son of the Zhao family, was wearing a cloud-patterned white robe, and the whole person exuded a kind atmosphere. Obviously, as a rich son, he is not half arrogant, and he is very elegant and easy-going.

He did not rush into the door, but walked to a carriage behind him, bowed and said:

"Master Dao, please get out of the car."

"Hmm."

There was only a nasal sound in the carriage.

Then the curtain in front of the carriage was opened by an old wrinkled hand, and an old Taoist in a cyan Tai Chi robe walked out of it.

"Come, Dao Ye, please."

Zhao Bin, the son of the Zhao family, personally helped Lao Dao out of the carriage, and seemed to believe in Lao Dao.

Lao Dao looks like he is in his sixties, with gray hair and a Taoist crown, wearing a cyan embroidered gossip Tai Chi robe, and water socks and cloud shoes under his feet. He was holding a white whisk in his hand and a peachwood sword behind him.

"Ah, Zhao Gongzi, why is your family's courtyard so demonic?"

"Alas......"

The son of the Zhao family sighed, he thought to himself that he would not be able to hide this sooner or later, he originally wanted to invite this Taoist master to his home first, and then slowly talk about the haunting of the family, but he didn't expect that people would see it as soon as they arrived at the door.

"Master Dao, I won't hide it from you, our family is really rampant with demons these days, and I have also invited the surrounding Zen masters and Taoists to subdue the demons, but they have not lowered the monsters."

"This demon is really powerful, or it can have such a demonic aura during the day, and ordinary people with shallow cultivation naturally can't take it."

Lao Dao stroked his gray beard, and he squinted his eyes and kept looking up and down.

"But don't worry, there is a poor road Qi Si Niu, and any demons and monsters can be subdued."

"Thank you, Daoye, please."

The son of the Zhao family personally led Lao Dao into the door, he originally wanted to take Lao Dao to the side hall of the East Courtyard to drink tea first, and then ask Lao Dao to see his father and help him get rid of the demons in the backyard.

Unexpectedly, the old road did not go to the east courtyard, but came to the west courtyard.

"Dao Ye, you are ......"

"Zhao Gongzi, you don't have to worry about it, I will get rid of the demon for you today."

After speaking, Lao Dao threw the dust to the little Taoist boy who had been following him aside, and then took off the peach wood sword behind his back and held it in his hand.

With his left hand, he took out several yellow paper talismans from his arms, and held a peachwood sword in his right hand.

"Phew! Youkai, I'll see where you run! ”

As he spoke, he kicked open the door and rushed in.

The room he entered was the room where Xia Zhician lived.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a few banging noises in the room, and then the screams of the old man continued.

What a miserable voice.

The people outside the house looked at each other, and they were at a loss for a while.

And inside the house.

Nan Er pressed Lao Dao to the ground with his backhand, and he knocked Lao Dao down without even pulling out the knife.

Of course, Lao Dao really startled the two of them when he just rushed in, Nan Er made a move out of instinct, and then naturally he didn't control his proportions, so he ......

Lao Dao has a front tooth...... Fly farther.

Xia Zhician saw that it was an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, so he squatted next to him with a curious face and asked:

"Who are you, what are you doing here?"

Lao Dao sighed several times, and finally eased up, and he said intermittently with a leaky mouth:

"Poor Road...... Gas...... Die...... Cow ......"
