After listening to the conversations of these pilgrims, Ah Yi looked at those people a little weakly, then looked at the direction of Hetai Temple, leaned over and whispered to Sun Xu: "Xianggong, should we go and explain the reason to those monks?"

Ah Shi took over the conversation, indignant but wanted to suppress his voice and said: "What do you say? When we met those monks in the temple last night, Xianggong mentioned this to them, but what about them? They don't know the hearts of good people, and they kicked us out. Killing the Maple Demon for them is already our previous suspicions, and we have to come to explain to them?"

Sun Xu also said: "Ah Yi, you are just too soft-hearted." Those monks are high up on weekdays, enjoying the offerings of the four directions, and now, it is time to suffer somewhat. ”

Seeing that Sun Xu also said this, Ah Yi nodded and stopped talking.

When the three of them had finished their breakfast, they beckoned the shopkeeper to bring their horses, and soon got on their horses and went away.

Pingling is not far from Jinhua, if it weren't for the delay yesterday, the three of them would have already arrived in Pingling. Seeing that there were no more strange things on the road today, the three of them sped up and soon arrived at Jinling.

When he arrived in the city, Sun Xu casually asked someone for directions on the road, and followed his guidance to the destination of the trip.

What catches your eye is a rather luxurious mansion, although it is not as good as the Sun Mansion, but it is much more magnificent than the ordinary mansion.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the door, they immediately came up to greet them and asked, "Three, but do you have something to visit?"

Sun Xu took out his grandmother's handwritten book and handed it to the next person: "I am the son of your mother's deceased, and I am here to pay a visit." ”

The subordinate got the letter, glanced at Sun Xu and the three of them, and then gave Sun Xu a salute and said, "Wait a minute, honorable guest, I'll go and inform my housewife." With that, he trotted into the gate.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged woman dressed in gorgeous clothes come out, followed by several maids waiting.

"Eh, sister is really, I just complained a few words, why did you let Xu'er come?" The woman saw Sun Xu, and quickly grabbed Sun Xu's wrist and asked for warmth: "I haven't seen Xu'er for a long time, and I have grown taller again." ”

After speaking, he looked at Ah Yi and Ah Shi suspiciously, and asked, "Are these two the same year as Xu'er?" ”

This Mrs. Li is a good friend of Sun Xu's mother before she got married, and the relationship between the two is the best, that is, after they both got married, the relationship between the two has never been weak, and they often go to each other's mansions as guests.

In Sun Xu's memory, this Mrs. Li almost regarded him as her own, so Sun Xu heard that there was something wrong in her family, so she came here to help her.

Ah Yi and Ah Shi listened to Mrs. Li's words, but they smiled lightly and said to her, "Auntie, it's us." ”

Sun Xu took a concubine that day, and Mrs. Li was also present, plus she went to visit her grandmother on weekdays, and it was not uncommon to see Ah Yi and Ah Shi. As soon as they spoke, Mrs. Li immediately recognized the second daughter: "Oh, it's you!" said that, she walked up to the second daughter with a smile and looked at them carefully.

"I didn't expect you two to dress up as men, and you are so dazzling. When I first met, I thought this Xu Er was getting better and more masculine!" Mrs. Li quipped.

When Sun Xu heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, this aunt is good at everything, but she is too careless when she speaks.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li also knew that as an elder, she shouldn't talk like this, so she quickly coughed and laughed twice and changed the topic. He called a few subordinates to settle the horses of Sun Xu and the others, and he led them into the gate.

The four of them sat down in the main hall, and Sun Xu went straight to the point and said, "Auntie, the message that my mother conveyed to me didn't say anything clearly, what happened here?" Although he knew the general situation from the old fox demon's words, he still had to ask for details.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she suddenly lost her smile, sighed lightly, and said with a little bitterness: "Your cousin has hit an evil spirit." ”

The person in Mrs. Li's mouth is her only son, Li Mingyuan, the eldest of the Li family.

Li Mingyuan has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he is a good seedling. When he grew up, he lived up to expectations, and it didn't take long for him to be selected for Xiucai and Renren, but last time for various reasons, he couldn't go to Beijing to participate in the examination. If not, he would be a Jinshi now.

But some time ago, for some reason, Li Mingyuan began to lock himself in his room every night and not let anyone in. Every time people pass by, they can hear laughter outside the house, as if they are talking to people. In the daytime, Li Mingyuan was very unenergetic.

Because Master Li is doing business, he is often away from home, so the affairs of the house are all handled by Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li was very anxious when she saw that her son was in a mess all day long, and next year was the time for the examination, and if she didn't get it right, she would delay the future of her life.

But no matter whether Mrs. Li went to seek medical advice or pray to God and Buddha, it was to no avail. Seeing her son's spirit getting haggard day by day, she felt depressed, so she couldn't help but mention the matter in a conversation with her grandmother.

Sun Xu didn't answer immediately after hearing this, but asked Mrs. Li to take her to see Li Mingyuan first.

Li Mingyuan's residence is an elegant attic, and he lives on the second floor of the attic.

Before he saw him, Sun Xu felt that there was not only a residual demonic aura here, but also a peculiar smell, the same smell he had smelled when he met the fox demon in the pavilion before.

When he saw Li Mingyuan, although his posture was normal, he didn't have any energy on his face, he just looked at a certain place with a dull gaze, and he didn't even notice that someone was in the house.

Mrs. Li covered her hands in distress, took her eyes off her son, looked at Sun Xu and asked, "Xu'er, your cousin has been like this for a long time, can you see any clues?"

Sun Xu listened and comforted: "Auntie doesn't need to worry, this matter is easy to hear." ”

Mrs. Li is not an outsider, she grew up watching Sun Xu and knows that Sun Xu has some ability. Therefore, after listening to Sun Xu's promise, he couldn't help but ask eagerly: "I don't know what to do to make Mingyuan return to its original state?"

Sun Xu said: "Auntie, as long as you restrain the people in the house and let them stay in the house at night and don't walk around." ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief and said, "That's it?"

"Naturally, it is. Auntie, this is not something that mortals can touch. If you don't listen to me, you will get sick and suffer disasters at the least, and you will lose your longevity. Don't say I didn't warn you. Sun Xu said with a straight face.

Although Mrs. Li listened to what Sun Xu said, she believed Sun Xu, and immediately called the housekeeper, explained to him seriously, and asked him to explain it to the people in the house one by one.

Sun Xu stayed on the first floor of the attic with Ah Yi and Ah Shi, waiting for the evening to come. Mrs. Li asked one of her servants to bring them tea, and then went back to her house.

When it came to the intersection of the children at night, Ah Shi couldn't sit still, so he stood up and paced back and forth at the door, only to hear a gust of wind blowing suddenly, and then he saw the demonic energy in the sky.

"I didn't expect that with me and the other three people in charge, this fox demon would dare to come?" Ah Yi said with a frown.

"There is a way that people die for money, birds die for food, and my cousin is like a piece of fat in the eyes of that demon at this time, how can that demon be easily abandoned?" Sun Xu said and looked out of the house again, and said: "Besides, it is not easy for demons to confuse a man, but if he succeeds, he must suck up this person's yang qi before he is willing to stop." ”
