A few days later, when Zhang Laohan was shopping outside, he accidentally ran into the Taoist priest again.

He was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly grabbed the Taoist priest and begged him to return the soul of Li Tong. But the Taoist priest told him that according to the rules of the underworld, if a dead person wants to return to the yang, there must be a living person to replace him.

Zhang Laohan didn't expect this rule, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, so he took the Taoist priest home and told the news to the Li concubine.

When they heard that they would have to be resurrected by a living man instead of their husbands, they all looked at each other silently. Several people discussed for a while, and finally decided to let Zhang Laohan die.

Zhang Laohan didn't say anything, and agreed without hesitation.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest asked him to say goodbye to his relatives and friends within three days. After coming back, he opened the altar to bring back the soul of Li Tongju.

So, Zhang Laohan arranged the best room for the Taoist priest, prepared the best things, and did not dare to slack off. When everything was settled, I went out to say goodbye to my neighbors.

Today is the third day, he is just resting here for a while, and he is about to return to the Li Mansion.

When Sun Xu heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Since you are willing to die for your master without complaint or regret, why are you sighing here?"

"I'm not just sighing for myself. In the past few days, I have said goodbye to my relatives and friends, and some of them have laughed at me, some of them think that I am a liar, and some of them think that I am crazy. Only one of my distant nephews thought I was telling the truth and sympathized with me. But after asking, I learned that he had also encountered strange things recently, which made him exhausted and withered. Even though I am afraid of death, my nephew is in the prime of his life, and he has been made into a ghost. How can you not sigh that the uncle and nephew are going to go back and forth into the ground?"

Zhang Laohan sighed again and shook his head helplessly.

"What the old man said is false. Whoever it is, it's a pity to die. Rest assured, you and your nephew will be fine. ”

"Housheng, don't talk big!"

Seeing that Zhang Laohan didn't believe it, Sun Xu knew that he needed to show his hand. He simply turned over the palm of his right hand and recited a thunder trick in his mouth.

I saw dozens of miniature thunderbolts in my palm. Although those thunderbolts were small, they resounded with bursts of thunder, exuding a terrifying momentum.

Zhang Laohan is an ordinary man, where has he ever seen such a Taoist technique, staring at the thunder in his hand with shocked eyes, leaning forward, kneeling to the ground with a flutter, and kowtowing towards Sun Xu, "Grandpa Thor, little old man is talking nonsense, there are many offenses, please forgive me!"

Sun Xu hurriedly put away the thunder in his palm and leaned over to help Zhang Laohan.

But Zhang Laohan was afraid that the thunder in Sun Xu's palm would split him, so he was so frightened that he quickly knelt and climbed back two or three feet.

"Uncle, you're not even afraid of death, why are you afraid that I'll be like this?" Seeing this, Sun Xu couldn't cry or laugh.

When Zhang Laohan heard this, he swallowed his saliva, raised his head and said with a smile: "Little Lao'er is half of a person who has been cut into the ground, what is so terrible about death." But Grandpa Thor is a god of heaven, if a thunderbolt makes my soul scatter, won't I even have a chance to be reincarnated as a human being?"

Sun Xu had no choice but to withdraw his hand and said from afar: "Uncle, get up." I'm not Thor. ”

Zhang Laohan bowed and said respectfully as he got up: "Holding the thunder in your hand, even if you are not the god of thunder, you are a real person!" scratched his head and thought about it, and then asked: "Real person, can my master really return to his soul?"

"Didn't you already decide to trade your life for your life, why do you ask this?"

"The little old man went to the master's mourning hall at night, and the atmosphere there was very wrong. Xiao Lao'er has been to the mourning hall many times in his life, and none of the mourning halls are as eerie and terrifying as my lord's mourning hall, and the air in the hall is cold and abnormal. ”

Sun Xu bowed, "You're right." That man must be a demon, and he must be going to kill you when you return. ”

When Zhang Laohan heard this, he was not surprised, but was very calm.

"I'm a little skeptical of him, too. It is said that a cultivator has a pure heart and few desires, but when I gave him a mansion compound and delicacies, he did not shirk it, and he still kept an eye on the concubine of the head of the family. It's just that the little old man heard that he could return his soul, so he didn't care about this. ”

Seeing that it was almost noon, Sun Xu asked Zhang Laohan to take them into the city and came to the Li Mansion.

Zhang Laohan summoned his subordinates and was about to settle the residence of Sun Xu and the others, but saw the person coming towards him.

Sun Xu saw that although the Taoist priest was wearing a Taoist robe, he looked like a righteous person, but there was more of an evil aura in his demeanor, especially when he saw Ah Yi and Ah Shi, his eyes were shining like a vicious wolf.

The Taoist priest ignored Sun Xu, and first asked Zhang Laohan: "Steward Zhang, three days have passed, are you ready?"

While speaking, although his head was facing Zhang Laohan, the afterglow of his eyes did not leave the second daughter.

That look made Ah Shi want to be disgusted, glared at the Taoist priest viciously, tugged at Ah Yi without a trace, moved behind Sun Xu, and separated his sight.

Seeing this, the Dao man raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at Sun Xu meaningfully.

After hearing Zhang Laohan's answer, he withdrew his gaze and said, "In this case, tonight, you will move your bed to the mourning hall and place it opposite Li Tong's coffin." In order to prevent the leakage of anger, the mourning hall should also be closed. In three days, your master will be able to return to his soul. ”

"But if I don't eat, drink, or starve to death for three days, can I still change back to my master?"

"It's easy to hear, and the poor will leave a small hole in the wall for special use to deliver food. The Taoist priest couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

At this time, Li's wife and concubine also came out, and they were a little unhappy when they saw that Zhang Laohan had brought three strangers back.

The first person directly reprimanded angrily: "Steward Zhang, don't forget your identity, how dare you take the initiative to invite three strange men back?

Before Zhang Laohan could speak, the Taoist priest said: "These three people want to be the old acquaintances of Steward Zhang, since they are here, why do they want to drive them away?" After speaking, he tilted his head and glanced at Sun Xu's unblocked Ah Shi.

When the ladies saw that the Taoist priests had spoken, they didn't want to drive people out anymore, and their grievances also went away. I think they have been impressed by the Taoist priest's Taoism these days.

"What the Taoist chief said is extremely true, my Li family is an official eunuch, and the three of them can still afford it. As he spoke, they all squinted at Sun Xu and the others, as if they were giving alms to beggars.

Sun Xu looked at their eyes, sneered in his heart, and followed Zhang Laohan to the wing room without care.

On the way, seeing that there was no one else around, Sun Xu took out a wooden-handled bell and put it in Zhang Laohan's hand, and instructed: "This thing will be given to you, you carry this with you, naturally all evils are not close." Remember that this item must not be stained with animal blood. ”

Zhang Laohan thanked him again and again and put it away.

When he was about to arrive at his residence, Sun Xu instructed again: "If there is a danger at night, shake the bell." ”

After sending Zhang Laohan away, Sun Xu and the three of them entered the wing room and closed the door.

Looking at the layout of this room, Ah Shi was a little disdainful, "This Li Tongju is really a nouveau riche, how can he be a little elegant?"

Ah Yi covered his mouth and smiled: "I know something about him, although his background is similar to the master's situation, his life is very different." The old man is good at reading, has a decent character, has an official reputation, and is praised for his political achievements; this Li Tongju is unlearned and unskilled, after all, all the general judgments of our dynasty are donated officials. ”

Sun Xu flicked the foreheads of the two, stopped their words, and said, "These have nothing to do with us, wait for the night." ”
