Chapter 7: Ghost Hunting
Gu Zuo shook his head, refocused his attention on the compass, and stared at it, where did he look like he was moving?
Chen Liu pointed to the utility room under the root of the north wall and pushed Gu Zuo: "That's where the compass is pointing." ”
Gu Zuohu said suspiciously: "Is there one?"
Chen Liu's face was affirmed: "Of course!"
“...... Really?"
"Go!"
As he spoke, there was a woman's "giggling" laughter in the utility room, which sounded erratic, but very clear, and spread throughout the house.
Outside the courtyard, the sound of the porcelain plate falling to the ground immediately sounded, accompanied by the exclamation of the daughter of the Ren family.
Gu Zuo was also scared enough, but Chen Liu and Jiang Qi were not afraid and pushed Gu Zuo closer to the miscellaneous house. Nearly halfway through, the wooden window of the miscellaneous house suddenly opened, and a white shadow burst out of it and swept towards the wall, and it was impossible to see what it really looked like in the dimness.
Chen Liu's shout sounded in Gu Zuo's ears: "The female ghost wants to escape, hurry up!"
Gu Zuo threw a peachwood sword at the wall in a panic, and after throwing it, he turned around and wanted to escape, but he was copied under Jiang Qiyi's armpit, and he was caught in the dead, where could he break free.
Hearing the white-clothed female ghost screaming on the wall, she immediately fell down, and Gu Zuo didn't see whether she fell into the courtyard or outside the courtyard.
Chen Liu clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Good sword! Gu Immortal Master's methods are wonderful, the flying sword is extremely powerful, and the female ghost has been beheaded!"
"Huh?" Gu Zuo was slightly dazed: "Hit...... Hit?"
Chen Liu picked up the lamp in front, Jiang Qi pushed Gu Zuo in the back, and when the three of them came to the wall, they saw the peachwood sword inserted in the wall, and the tip of the sword entered the wall, and there was a leather bag nailed to the tip of the sword, which squeaked and creaked, and the leather bag shook left and right with the sound.
Jiang Qi strode to open the door of the vegetable garden, and shouted while greeting people: "The female ghost has been collected!"
After a while, the owner of the village came in with a group of servants, and Chen Liu pointed to the leather bag on the wall that was nailed by the flying sword and kept shaking, and said, "Immortal Master Gu has put the female ghost into the Qiankun bag, and asked the owner of the village to come and check it." ”
Gu Zuo looked at Chen Liu, Chen Liu didn't pay attention to him, but kept urging the owner of Ren to come forward to "inspect the goods".
The owner of Ren Zhuang looked at the leather bag with palpitations, where did he dare to go over, and waved his hands across the distance: "Please also ask the immortal master to take it away quickly, hurry up!"
With Chen Liu's help, Gu Zuo put away the leather bag, reinforced another seal with string, and hung it on the scabbard at his waist. When the belt was hung on it, it was still shaking inside, so that everyone in the family avoided him like a snake and scorpion, and those who were far away did not dare to approach.
The owner of the village hurriedly asked people to present their belongings, a basket of cooked meat, plus the consistent money, all of which were taken over by Jiang Qi and carried on his shoulder.
Chen Liudao: "Immortal Master Gu said that the female ghost has been collected, but tracing back to the root, it is related to the feng shui of this courtyard, and it needs to be demolished and rebuilt." "Let's just look at Gu Zuo.
Gu Zuo nodded, coughed, and nodded to indicate that this was indeed the case.
The owner of the village bowed down and said, "I'm tired of Gu Immortal Master's guidance." ”
Gu Zuo groaned, quickly recalling the expositions when Wang Dao Chang showed people feng shui in the past, searching for which words were more appropriate, before he could speak, Chen Liu had already spoken first: "Gu Xianshi is too busy, look at the feng shui matter, the owner of the village can invite another Taoist hall." ”
The owner of Ren Zhuang was anxious: "Don't, the sixth master will help me talk about it, I still have a gift here." ”
At that moment, the owner of Ren Zhuang and Chen Liu reached an agreement, Gu Zuo came up with a way to rebuild the vegetable garden, Chen Liu found someone to do it, and the Ren family was responsible for paying for it.
Leaving Renjiazhuang, seeing that there was no one in Siye, Gu Zuo hurriedly untied the belt around his waist and threw it on the ground, asking, "What is this?"
Chen Liu smiled and bent down, untied the rope buckle tied to the belt, and with a "squeak", a small vole jumped out of the belt and ran away without a trace along the ridge in the blink of an eye.
Gu Zuo looked helpless: "Fake?"
Chen Liu said with a smile: "The female ghost turned into a vole and rushed to reincarnate. ”
Gu Zuo asked again: "That white shadow ......"
Chen Liu smiled but did not speak.
Gu Zuo said: "Do this...... Not good......"
Chen Liudao: "If you don't do bad things, how can there be ghosts knocking on the door? Let's do this, it's a good deed, and help the owner of Ren Zhuang to get rid of the knot! This money should be repaid to me and Lao Qi, and you have to hand it over at the end of the month, how can you do it if you don't do this? Thank you and me and Lao Qi, for your business, our brothers are really heartbroken!"
Back in Xiaogushan, Chen Liu asked Jiang Qi to put out a basket of cooked meat sent by the Ren family, and pulled Gu Zuo to drink together, Gu Zuo drank wine and said: "Sixth brother, can you tell me about this kind of thing in the future?" ”
Chen Liu broke a chicken leg and laughed: "You coward, you are far worse than Wang Hengyi, haha, I wanted to be happy watching it last night." ”
Gu Zuo shouted: "Can I compare with Wang Daochang?"
Jiang Qi, who rarely spoke, suddenly said: "Wang Daochang, he is actually very powerful. ”
Chen Liu nodded: "It's a pity...... Xiao Gu, you have to pay close attention to your cultivation, and you must at least reach half of the ability of the king Taoist, otherwise you won't be able to take over the business there, how can you make money? After all, the old Ren family can't do more than this kind of thing, and you still have to rely on real skills. Don't look at our brothers who are being fierce to you now, it's for your good, and if you succeed in cultivation in the future, our brothers will give you a hand!"
So Gu Zuo humbly accepted the teaching, hid in the house and continued to cultivate, Jiang Qi continued to squat in Xiaogu Mountain, Chen Liu went down the mountain to activities, Gu Zuo owed them a lot of money, so he couldn't help but worry about it. Before going down the mountain, he also asked Gu Zuo's copper bell to come.
"Sixth brother also plans to join my industry?"
Chen Liu took the bell, tied it with a straw rope on the wooden door of Gu Zuo's room, hung it there, pushed the door open and tried a few times, the bell made a pleasant "jingling" sound, and then he went down the mountain satisfied.
Looking at Chen Liu's back, Gu Zuo said to Jiang Qi in the courtyard: "Sixth brother is too careful, hehe." ”
Gu Zuo held the spirit stone in his hand, and he didn't plan to slip away at this time, he practiced in the house for three days with peace of mind, and the spiritual energy in the dantian increased very obviously, and it was already completely perceptible, like a solid silk thread, wandering and soaring in the empty void.
Three days later......
Gu Zuo was really angry this time, he slammed the door and walked out, looking at Chen Liu and Jiang Qi who were poking the ant hole with grass stems in the yard and said in a deep voice: "Sixth brother, seventh brother, inquire about something." ”
Jiang Qi glanced up at him, and then continued to poke at the ant hole, while Chen Liu stretched the grass stalk into his ear and asked as he plucked, "Say." ”
Gu Zuo asked, "How long is a spirit stone enough for a Qi Refiner to cultivate?"
Chen Liu put the grass stalk in front of his eyes, blew off the filth on it, and then continued to dig: "It seems to be half a month to a month, depending on whether you work hard or not." ”
Gu Zuo asked again: "In just three days, the spiritual power in the spirit stone has been exhausted. ”
Chen Liu was stunned: "Three days?"
Gu Zuo threw the spirit stone in his hand through the air, was grabbed by Chen Liuyi, and when he came to his eyes, he saw that the original crystal clear spirit stone had completely lost its luster, and it was faintly dark inside, which was the appearance of the spiritual power being sucked out.
