Let's say that Long Xueyun has been looking for the whereabouts of Ghost Lingyun in Jinling City, and ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and he has almost run all over the streets and alleys of Jinling in ten days, but there is still no news of Ghost Lingyun.

On this day, Long Xueyun had already found the east of the city from the west of the city, where there were many dwellings. He came to a house and knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man walked out and asked arrogantly, "What's the matter?" Long Xueyun asked, "Do you know if there is a father and daughter who moved here ten years ago nearby." The middle-aged man said impatiently: "I don't know, go away." Long Xueyun had no choice but to leave, came to the next house and knocked on the door. The one who opened the door was a middle-aged woman, who saw Long Xueyun and asked, "Little brother, is there anything wrong?" Long Xueyun said: "Excuse me, is there a father and daughter who moved over ten years ago nearby?"

Listening to Long Xueyun's words, the middle-aged woman suddenly became a little alert, and said, "Who are you? Why are you looking for them?" When Long Xueyun heard this, her answer was different from that of others, and she finally saw some hope, and hurriedly said: "I am from Shandong, and my family suddenly changed ten years ago and was separated from my relatives. The middle-aged woman said, "Are you from Shandong?" Long Xueyun said: "That's right." The middle-aged woman said: "The penultimate house in the back alley is a father and daughter who moved over ten years ago, they are from Shandong, maybe the person you are looking for." I'll take you there. Long Xueyun hurriedly said: "Thank you." ”

The middle-aged woman took Long Xueyun to the back alley and knocked on the door of the penultimate house. The one who opened the door was a handsome little girl, who saw the middle-aged woman and said mischievously, "Aunt Hu, why are you here?" The one who was called Aunt Hu said, "Someone is coming to you." The little girl said, "Come to us?" said and looked at Long Xueyun. Aunt Hu said: "Do you know each other? He said that he came from Shandong to find a father and daughter who were separated ten years ago."

The little girl said, "Are you?" Long Xueyun said: "I'm sorry, I found the wrong one." The little girl said in surprise: "Ah?" Although the aura on this little girl's body was indeed somewhat similar to that on Ghost Lingyun's body back then, it was much quieter.

Aunt Hu said: "How do you know that she is not the person you are looking for, you should not have seen her for ten years, right?" Long Xueyun said: "I don't know either, but I know that you are not her." The little girl said, "No, it doesn't matter, my name is He Peiyao." If you want, you can come in and sit, we are all from Shandong, and we have to take care of each other when we meet fellow villagers outside. Long Xueyun said: "No need, farewell." He hugged Aunt Hu again and left.

Seeing that Long Xueyun was gone, Aunt Hu teased He Peiyao: "Stinky girl, what do you mean by inviting people in, do you have a crush on others?" He Peiyao said: "Aunt Hu, what are you talking nonsense? We are all from Shandong, so we should take care of each other." ”

Long Xueyun walked silently on the street, not knowing when he would find Ghost Lingyun. Long Xueyun secretly decided that when she finished looking for Jinling, she would go to the physiognomy again, maybe she knew some clues. Although the two are now divided into good and evil, they may fight as soon as they meet.

He walked through a market and suddenly saw a recruitment list posted on the notice board, and the recruitment list was a list of people to exorcise ghosts. The text reads: "Recently, Fuzhong has been haunted, and the prince of Fuzhong has been asleep for several days and has not woken up, so he is begging for help from a master." There will be great thanks for the success. Zhangfu, Grand Cross Street, East of the City. Long Xueyun thought for a moment, touched the money bag in his belly, and then stepped forward and unveiled the recruitment list.

Someone next to him saw him unveil the list and persuaded him: "Little brother, this list can't be revealed." Long Xueyun said: "What do you say?" The man said: "None of the people who went to Nafu to exorcise ghosts escaped with their whole body, either missing arms or broken legs. Long Xueyun listened, took the list and turned around and left. The man sighed: "This little brother really doesn't listen to persuasion, and it will be too late to regret it when he becomes like those Taoist priests." Two more people came, one of whom said: "That Zhang Mansion is indeed evil, I heard that it seems that their son-in-law got along with a female ghost." Another said: "Shhh The former said, "Got it." But this little brother still dares to go, it seems that he either has real skills, or he has a problem with his brain. ”

Long Xueyun walked straight along the road, came to an intersection, and saw a large mansion in front of him. Long Xueyun walked over and took a look, it was written "Zhangfu", it seemed that this intersection was the so-called Great Cross Street.

Long Xueyun walked over and knocked on the door, and soon the door opened. The person who opened the door was a person who looked like a housekeeper, saw Long Xueyun holding the list in his hand, and looked at Long Xueyun's rather young appearance, muttered a little in his heart, and asked, "Are you here to answer the list?" Long Xueyun said: "Yes." The housekeeper asked again, "Is it you or your master who exorcise ghosts?" Long Xueyun said, "It's me." The housekeeper said, "Please come in, please come in." ”

The housekeeper invited Long Xueyun into the courtyard, and a man and a woman came out to greet him, both middle-aged people, the man was slightly chubby and had a beard, and the woman had a kind face. When the two of them saw that he was so young, they didn't believe him, but they didn't show it on their faces, and the man said, "Master, please come in." ”

Long Xueyun entered the lobby, and the housekeeper introduced: "This is my master Zhang Yuanwai and my wife." The man said: "It's okay for the son to call me Zhang Lufeng, this is the cheap Qi family, please sit down." After Zhang Lufeng sat down, he asked, "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname, where did he learn from?" Long Xueyun said: "My surname is Long, and they are all family skills." Tell me more about it. ”

Zhang Lufeng nodded slowly and said, "I see." Here's the thing. That day was supposed to be a big day, and in another day, my dog was going to marry the daughter of Wu Shu Dart Bureau, so the family was very busy at night. Somehow, a sudden gust of wind blew, and everyone fainted. The next morning, we all got up, and after counting the people, we couldn't find any dogs. Then we looked for him everywhere, but we couldn't find him, only his room, which we couldn't open. So I sent men to smash the doors and windows, but the wooden doors and windows were like iron sheets, and they could not be smashed. We pierced the paper in the window and saw the dog lying on the bed, but we couldn't save him. We tried everything we could, but to no avail. Later, I heard that it might be haunted, so let's ask a Taoist priest to come. Unexpectedly, it was really a ghost who was doing something, and every Taoist priest said so when he came, but they were not strong, not only did they not exorcise the ghosts, but they were injured by the ghosts. This ghost is not simple, I advise my son to be careful. Zhang Lufeng signaled to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper quickly went out, and after a while, he came back with a tray, which was covered with gauze.

Zhang Lufeng asked the housekeeper to walk to Long Xueyun and unveiled the gauze. Zhang Lufeng said: "This is six hundred taels of silver, which is paid to the son first, and if the son can successfully exorcise the ghost, there will be another six hundred taels to be sent." He was in a hurry to take out the money, firstly, he was afraid that Long Xueyun would be scared away when he heard about the difficulty, and secondly, he told him that so much remuneration meant that this matter was difficult, and if he didn't have the ability, he would have left earlier.

Long Xueyun said: "Take me to that room to have a look." Zhang Lufeng said: "Okay, please." ”

Zhang's mansion is not small, Long Xueyun followed the Zhang couple to two turns before coming to a courtyard, and the Zhang son's room was the one facing the courtyard. As soon as he came to this courtyard, Long Xueyun felt a yin qi, this yin qi obviously did not exist naturally, the more he walked in, the heavier the yin qi became.

Long Xueyun came to the room, knocked on the door, and felt the texture of the wooden door. The wooden door is just an ordinary wooden door, but it seems to have been cast with immortal magic, and it is extremely hard, and it is likely to be a ghost who knows the immortal method of wood. Long Xueyun said to the Zhang couple: "It's indeed a ghost who is haunting, you can help me prepare something." Zhang Lufeng said: "Son, just talk about it." Long Xueyun said: "Prepare a table for me, put it in the middle of the courtyard, spread a yellow cloth on it, and put some offerings, candles, and sandalwood." Zhang Lufeng said: "Okay, okay, I'll immediately order my subordinates to do it." Long Xueyun said: "Also, I want to use the side room, wait there for the arrival of the evening, you can go out after you set up the incense table, you are not allowed to come in without my orders." He pointed to a room on the east side of the courtyard, and on the west side, there was another room that was the same. Zhang Lufeng said: "Okay, as long as you can drive the ghost away, but by the son's orders." Long Xueyun said: "You guys go." Then he walked into the room on the east side.

After noon, Qi said to Zhang Lufeng: "Shall we send some food to that young man?" Zhang Lufeng said: "I think so too, but the young man said that none of us can enter that courtyard without his orders." Qi said: "The so-called etiquette is not to blame, we can't let people go hungry to exorcise ghosts for us." Zhang Lufeng said: "Okay, I'll send someone to try it." ”

After a while, a servant entered the courtyard with food, knocked on Long Xueyun's door, and waited for a while, but there was no sound inside. He knocked again, but there was no movement inside. The man had always been bold, so he pushed open the door and went in to look, and found that there was no one inside. He hurriedly ran to report to Zhang Lufeng: "Outside, it's not good, there is no one in the house at all, that person won't take the money and run away, right?"

Zhang Lufeng stood up and exclaimed, "What! Take me to see it." The two came to the courtyard and walked to Long Xueyun's room, and the next person was about to enter, Zhang Lufeng motioned for him to knock on the door. The subordinate knocked on the door, and Long Xueyun's voice came from the door, saying, "Who?" The subordinate also reacted smartly, and said, "Childe, I sent me to bring you food." Long Xueyun said: "No, don't come over next time without my permission." The man said, "Yes, yes." After speaking, he retreated with Zhang Lufeng. Out of the courtyard, Zhang Lufeng reprimanded the next person.

Let's talk about Long Xueyun, he was indeed not in the room at first, but went to the Underworld Huixin Valley to cultivate, and when Zhang Lufeng and the next person came again, Long Xueyun just rushed back. At this time, Long Xueyun was only one step away from the spring summit, and he was already able to carry out some valley reclamation, so it didn't matter if he didn't eat for two or three days. As the cultivation of immortal cultivators deepens, the time for which they can clear the valley will become longer and longer, but although they don't have to eat, they still feel hungry, so most immortal cultivators will still eat and drink on time.
