The early morning sun was reflected in the hall from the door, Li Ge stood by the door and looked at the rain outside the house, suddenly heard the footsteps coming downstairs behind him, turned his head and smiled, "Jingchen, the weather is good today, let's go to find Yurou and go to the city together." ”

"Okay~" A smile appeared on the little monk's solemn face, and then followed Li Ge to find Lin Yurou.

Time is the best medicine to soothe the pain in his heart, and with the company of Li Ge and Lin Yurou, the smiles on Jingchen's face became more and more, and he and the first two gradually developed some cordiality.

Time flickered, and it was the twenty-first day of the lunar month. On this day, the snow in Jiangning City fell very heavily, and at a glance, the outside of the house was covered in snow, and snowflakes were flying all over the sky.

There was a strong aroma of roasted sweet potatoes in the thaumaturgical pavilion, Jingchen stared at the roasted sweet potatoes by the stove with his eyes, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and said to Li Ge who was sitting beside him, "Second brother, you can eat it." ”

"Not yet, it's only been baked for a long time, and it's probably not cooked yet. Li Ge looked at the little monk beside him, and then said, "I'll ask Yurou if she eats baked sweet potatoes." ”

"Let the little monk go, seeing these sweet potatoes that can't be eaten yet, the little monk is very uncomfortable. Jingchen stared at the sweet potato intently, and when he was about to walk to the gate, he withdrew his gaze and went straight into the wind and snow.

"Aren't you going to clean the dust with an umbrella?" Seeing the little monk running directly outside the house, Li Ge chased to the door and shouted.

"I don't need an umbrella, second brother, Sister Yurou is not far from where we live. When the little monk's voice landed, the chubby body had disappeared into the corner of the path in front of the house.

After Li Ge sat alone in the house for a while, Lin Yurou walked into the house with an umbrella in one hand and Jingchen in the other.

"Second brother, it should be ripe by now. After entering the house, Jingchen quickly ran to the stove, looked at the fragrant roasted sweet potatoes and swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva.

"It should be fine, I'll take one out and you try it first. Li Ge took a pair of long chopsticks and took out a sweet potato by the fireside, then put it in a bowl and handed it to the little monk.

Jingchen held the bowl with both hands and blew it a few times, then reached out and directly picked up the sweet potato in the bowl, broke it in half and took a bite, chewing it in his mouth and happily said, "It's cooked." ”

"Okay~" Li Ge nodded when he heard this, picked up another one and put it in the bowl and handed it to Lin Yurou.

"I'm not hungry now, you eat. ”

"Oh~" Li Ge responded, retracted the bowl he handed out, then got up and poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Lin Yurou.

The little monk felt that this roasted sweet potato was the most delicious thing in the world. After three or two bites of a sweet potato, Jingchen stopped and said, then picked up the second one and started to nibble.

"Eat the dust slowly, no one will rob you. Looking at the little monk's eating appearance, Lin Yurou and Li Ge laughed out loud.

When the three people in the house laughed, an old man outside the house walked into the house facing the wind and snow, he stood at the door and laughed, and said loudly, "What a fragrant roasted sweet potato taste." ”

"Pavilion Master Jiang, come~ Please take a seat. After beckoning the old man to sit down, Li Ge smiled and said, "You have something to do with me." ”

"Well, someone came to report just now, saying that there was a strange case in Laizhou Mansion, and now it has been nearly a year, and there are no other cultivators in the pavilion, so I want to trouble Master Li to check it out first. ”

"Okay~ What happened there, can Pavilion Master Jiang tell me in detail?" Li Ge nodded in response, and then asked.

"This Laizhou Mansion is the sea territory of my Ming Dynasty, east of the Wa Kingdom, although the imperial court has implemented a sea ban, Linhai residents are not allowed to go out to sea to fish. However, two years ago, the Japanese invaded the country, and some of the small coastal towns there were destroyed by the war. Now that the borders are peaceful, those who fled their homes are now trying to move back to where they were born. ”

"There was a small town called Kaidaokou in one of the middle of nowhere, where there were more than 100 residents who had fled abroad, and after they moved back, something strange happened. Of the more than 100 people, less than 10 escaped, and then they reported to the official that there were ghosts in Haidaokou Town, and the local county officials sent some soldiers to go, but there was no return. ”

"That's pretty much it. At this point, Jiang Haotian's gaze stopped at Li Ge. When the latter heard this, he got up and walked to the door with his hands in his hands, and looked out of the house in thought.

"In that case, then Pavilion Master Jiang go and prepare a carriage for me to Laizhou Mansion, and I will leave today. After standing by the door and thinking for a moment, Lige turned and went back into the house.

"Don't worry, Master Li, it's getting dark now, I'll arrange a car for you tomorrow. The old man got up and walked to Li Ge's side, patting him on the shoulder with both hands, "Although I heard Master Nan say that your cultivation is already comparable to their masters of the older generation, but this time I am afraid that the matter will be ......."

"You don't have to worry about Pavilion Master Jiang, I'll be careful. Li Ge was relieved, and then sent the old man to the door, and stood alone by the door to calculate.

"Second brother, what are you thinking?Are we going to Laizhou Mansion tomorrow?" Jingchen in the house saw Li Ge standing alone at the door, got up and walked to his side and asked.

"Didn't think about anything. Li Ge shook his head, returned to the house with the little monk, and said in a stunned voice, "The matter of Laizhou Mansion this time should not be a trivial matter, so I will go alone, and you will stay in the thaumaturgy pavilion." ”

"No, since my master asked me to follow you, the little monk will also go with you. Jingchen wiped his hands on his clothes, and then grabbed Li Ge's arm tightly.

"Let's go together tomorrow. Lin Yurou, who had been listening silently, looked at Li Ge and said in a calm tone, "Now in this thaumaturgy pavilion, we are a small circle, and we should face everything together." ”

"Yes, second brother, you can take us with you. The little monk has seen a lot of those ghostly things since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of them with his master, so there is nothing to be afraid of for me. Jingchen shook and grabbed Li Ge's arm.

"This ......" Li Ge stretched out his hand and touched the bald head of the little monk, then glanced at Lin Yurou again, remembered what the master had said before, nodded and said, "Okay, then we will go to Laizhou Mansion together tomorrow." ”

"Well, then you eat first, and I'll go back and get ready." Lin Yurou smiled slightly, got up and walked to the door, picked up the umbrella and went back. The little monk let go of Li Ge's hand and continued to eat.

After nightfall, Li Ge went back to his room for a nap, and then sat cross-legged on the bed and sat up. The next day, when it was slightly light, he regained his senses, opened the door and walked outside.

After a while, Lin Yurou came over with a burden. Immediately afterwards, Jingchen also came down from the stairs with a burden. After the three of them sat in the house for a while, Jiang Haotian also came, "Master Xiao Li, the carriage is ready." ”

"Let's go. Li Ge glanced at the two companions, and then the three of them got into the carriage to Laizhou Mansion with their burdens on their backs.

The carriage lasted for eight days, but the three of them were not bored along the way. When they arrived in Yi'an County, the capital of Pengzhou, it was already Chinese New Year's Eve.
