A month later.

Rumors gradually spread in Xianju Town that Lijia Village was sacked by wandering bandits, and the entire village was slaughtered, leaving no chickens and dogs.

Although this rumor spreads more and more, no one knows whether it is true or not, and no one dares to go to the field to check it.

Although Xianju Town is a town, it has no town system, so there is no official yamen, so naturally no one has nothing to do to go to a remote mountain village dozens of miles away to investigate the case.

Everyone was even faintly worried that those wandering bandits would come to Xianju Town to cause harm. Therefore, everyone lives in fear, and naturally they will not bother with "nosy".

In addition, since helping the little ghost say goodbye that night, Shang Xiaodie's story has spread in Xianju Town, and everyone knows that she has the ability to deal with ghosts. Everyone was in awe of this little girl with special abilities.

Since then, anyone who has a restless house or a treacherous encounter has come to Shang Xiaodie and asked her to help exorcise evil spirits. This makes Shang Xiaodie distressed.

Although Shang Xiaodie needs the ghost resentment to cultivate the soul bell, this is her privacy, and she just wants to do it secretly, not let people know. She didn't like it when people looked at her strangely.

For this reason, since then, Shang Xiaodie has tried to "seclusion" in the City God Temple outside the city, rarely going out. Therefore, she didn't know that the rumors that had been circulating in Xianju Town during this period of time.

The cinnabar for drawing talismans has run out again.

I'm going to have to go down the hill to get to town, Shang Xiaodie pouts.

In order not to attract the attention of the city residents, Shang Xiaodie deliberately waits until the evening to go. Because she knows the situation of "Zhang Ji Medicinal Materials Company". Although the trading house is closed at night, the old man has to guard the treasury. She believed that even if she knocked on the door late at night, the old man would not dare not open the door for her.

That night, after the townspeople had almost rested, Shang Xiaodie quietly walked into the town, heading straight to the Cheung Kee Herb Firm.

As Shang Xiaodie expected, Old Man Zhang was guarding the warehouse, and he hadn't slept yet, and was busy sorting out the medicinal materials he had just acquired during the day. So although the courtyard door was closed, the shop inside was not closed, and the lights were still on.

Shang Xiaodie didn't have any worries, and went up directly to call the door.

Old man Zhang was very familiar with Shang Xiaodie's voice, and hurriedly opened the door, greeting him with a smile on his face, "Miss Shang, I haven't seen you for a few days." Why are you coming to the shop so late today?"

Shang Xiaodie walked in casually and said proudly, "This girl can come whenever she wants, don't you welcome this girl?"

Old man Zhang hurriedly closed the courtyard door, followed Shang Xiaodie, and said with a smile: "How dare the little old man not welcome the girl? ”

Shang Xiaodie looked at Old Man Zhang in surprise and said disdainfully: "This is strange, this girl has always been used to acting at night, and you don't know it." Why are you suddenly worried about the safety of this girl? What you say is clearly a lie, and this girl is not uncommon for you to be flattering and false. ”

Old man Zhang hurriedly changed his face and said, "Miss Shang, little old man, this is really not hypocritical. Haven't you heard of it? It's been very uneasy outside lately, and I don't know where a stream of thieves came from. I heard that Lijia Village was sacked not long ago. I was so obedient that I heard that hundreds of people in a village were all killed, and there were no chickens and dogs left. That Lijia Village is only more than 30 miles away from us, who can guarantee that those wandering bandits will not come to our Xianju Town? ”

Shang Xiaodie exclaimed, "What you said is true?"

Old man Zhang said solemnly: "It's not true? It's already rumored outside, and this is definitely not groundless." It's a pity that we don't have an official yamen here, so no one cares about this. We can't say it, so we have to watch out for ourselves. ”

Shang Xiaodie is a little girl after all, and although she is not afraid of ghosts, she is afraid of the vicious wandering bandits. When she heard this, she couldn't help but lose her face, but she didn't believe it.

Shang Xiaodie said suspiciously, "Over the years, I haven't heard of bandits in this area. I heard that the wandering bandits killed their lives to make money, and Xianju Town was surrounded by poor mountainous areas, so how could there be any money to attract the wandering bandits? It must be a rumor-monger. ”

Old man Zhang said: "The girl is right, and the old man is also suspicious, but what he says outside has a nose and eyes, but no one can believe it." All in all, whether it's true or not, it's always right to be careful. ”

Shang Xiaodie nodded, and then asked, "Which Lijia Village?"

Old man Zhang said: "I don't know very well, it seems that it is near Li Qingshan and Master Li." As for whether it is the village where Master Li is located, it is unknown. ”

"Li Qingshan?" Shang Xiaodie always felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard of it.

Old man Zhang hurriedly said: "Girl, have you forgotten? The son who came here to buy cinnabar a month ago is the son of Master Li Qingshan's family. The girl has seen it. ”

Shang Xiaodie's heart suddenly trembled inexplicably, and she exclaimed, "It turned out to be him, I remembered." ”

Immediately, Shang Xiaodie didn't believe it again, and said, "I heard that Li Qingshan is a disciple of the Cloud Gate Sect. Li Qingshan must also be very powerful, and with the support of the Cloud Gate Sect, which wandering thief who is not long-eyed would dare to provoke him?"

Old man Zhang hurriedly smiled: "The girl is right, maybe it's really a rumor." Or maybe it's another village, not Master Li's village. ”

"Forget it, don't talk about it, if you talk too much, you'll be more afraid. Old man Zhang said, and asked again, "The girl came here at this time, but the cinnabar ran out again?"

Shang Xiaodie smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise, why did this girl come to you?

Old man Zhang smiled "hehe", he knew Shang Xiaodie's temperament, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to fetch cinnabar and handed it to Shang Xiaodie.

Shang Xiaodie got cinnabar, left the trading house, and went straight back to the City God Temple.

Walking on the road, inexplicably, she suddenly remembered Li Kunlai.

At this time, Li Kun's voice and smile clearly appeared in her mind. The night of the little ghost's farewell kiss was like it happened last night.

Fluttershy has been ostracized in Merchant Castle since she was a child, and people hate dogs, and she hardly feels a trace of family warmth. It's been three years since he was kicked out of Fort Merchant. In the past three years, she has lived a wandering life, although the people of Xianju Town dare not bully her and offend her because she is a person from Shangbao after all. But she has always been lonely and has no friends.

And that night, Li Kun accompanied her to Lixiangyuan to help the little ghost say goodbye. The two work together very well. For the first time, she felt the joy of being friendly with her peers. That night, she was very happy, for the first time in her life.

However, it was just a chance encounter, and Shang Xiaodie didn't pay much attention to it. Besides, she is used to loneliness, and she doesn't want to think of something unrealistic to break her monotonous and quiet life. Therefore, after that night, she tried not to think about Li Kun. I almost forgot about Li Kun's existence.

However, tonight Old Man Zhang mentioned him. This made her inexplicably a little irritable.

Shang Xiaodie thought crankily as she walked. Who knew that when he first arrived at the gate of the city, he encountered a business war.

When she was in Fort Merchant, Fluttershy was bullied by the Merchant War. Ever since Fluttershy was kicked out of the Merchant Castle, there has been little to no business war. At this time, they met here unexpectedly, and both of them were quite surprised.

Of course, Shang Xiaodie won't take the initiative to provoke him, pretend not to see it, and bury her head and walk forward.

Moreover, what Shang Xiaodie did in Lixiangyuan that night naturally spread to Shang Castle, after all, Xianju Town is so big. Shang Zhan is naturally quite curious about this.

"Oh, isn't this the ghost master who has recently become famous in Xianju Town?" Shang Zhan shouted in a deliberate exaggeration as he blocked Shang Xiaofluttershy's way.

Shang Xiaodie was blocked by him, so she had to stop, glared at Shang Zhan fiercely, and said coldly, "Get out." ”

Shang Zhan's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he scolded: "Stinky girl, it's all like this, and you're still so crazy?" It seems that in the past two years, Young Master Ben has been training you less, and you are going to be dragged to the sky." ”

Shang Xiaodie had already developed a strong temper, and she was not afraid of him at all, so she raised her neck and said, "This girl has nothing to do with your merchant for a long time, why do you care about me?"

Shang Zhan smiled and said, "Really, then why are you still surnamed Shang?"

"Phew!" Shang Xiaodie spat on the ground and said in disgust, "What's a good surname?

"Smack-"

Shang Zhan gave Shang Xiaodie a slap in the face, causing Shang Xiaodie to stumble and almost fall, and the corners of his mouth suddenly broke blood.

Shang Xiaodie suddenly went crazy, drew her short sword, and pounced on Shang Zhan.

Of course, Shang Xiaodie is no match for Shang War. However, in front of the crazy Shang Xiaodie, Shang Zhan is still a little jealous. Because his grandmother had warned him not to hurt her life. Shang Zhan was puzzled by this, because he knew that his grandmother didn't like Shang Xiaodie either, but his grandmother seemed to be a little protective of her, and he didn't know why. Because of this, although Shang Zhan can bully Shang Xiaodie unscrupulously, he always controls his proportions and does not dare to go too far.

For this reason, Shang Zhan was unwilling to entangle with Shang Xiaodie too much, so he pushed her away, pushed Shang Xiaodie more than ten steps away, and sat on the ground. Then he shouted angrily: "Stinky girl, Young Master Ben is too lazy to pay attention to you madman, you get out." ”

Although Shang Xiaodie has a stubborn temper, she is not a tendon, and the reason why she goes crazy in the face of Shang Zhan's bullying is also to scare Shang Zhan away, so as not to entangle with him. At this time, although she suffered a loss, since Shang Zhan said that she would not be entangled, she accepted it when she saw it. Anyway, I couldn't beat him, so I just thought I was bitten by a dog.

Shang Xiaodie got up, glared at Shang Zhan fiercely, didn't say a word, turned and left.

But the voice of Shang Zhan came from behind: "Master Ghost, don't you like to deal with ghosts?" Young Master Ben told you where to go, I heard that there are many newly dead souls there, why don't you go there and find your soulmate." ”

Shang Xiaodie's heart trembled inexplicably, and she subconsciously turned to look at Shang Zhan and asked, "Where are you talking about?"

Shang Zhan saw a chill in Shang Xiaodie's eyes, and subconsciously took a step back, but still told her: "Lijia Village is the Lijia Village where Li Qingshan is located." You hurry up. ”

After Shang Zhan finished speaking, he laughed, walked away, and left a sentence-

Sure enough, it's a freak who likes to deal with ghosts!

Shang Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a panic in her heart.

Is this true?

Was Li Kun also killed?
