Ma Dong's exclamation immediately alerted Li Xiuyuan and the guards around him, and they all looked towards the lobby in front of them.

I really saw an old man wearing a purple court robe and a short white beard sitting on the front seat of the hall, his eyes seemed to be cast here, looking at everyone, although his eyes were calm, but this old man sitting in the dim and dilapidated hall gave people a creepy feeling, especially the official uniform that was not the current dynasty, brand new, and seemed to be exuding light, which made people shudder.

"This must be a haunted mansion, and the old man must be a vicious old ghost. Niu Er was shocked and hurriedly took out the willow stick on his waist.

A willow stick cut off from a hundred-year-old willow essence was polished by him and shiny, and he wore it around his waist on weekdays to guard against ghosts.

Wu Fei was also angry and said: "That Hou Mansion really didn't have a good heart, just take a broken house and send us away, it's still a haunted mansion, this daytime is all hell, I don't know how many demons and monsters appear at night, young master, I think we should go, there is a dart line in Jinling City, let's go there for a night." ”

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said: "Don't be nervous, it's just a powerful ghost, and it's not a thousand-year-old demon, what are you afraid of, are there fewer powerful ghosts that I have eliminated? ”

With a strong confidence in his words, he gestured to the guards around him, and then walked towards the dilapidated hall without fear.

If the mansion here is not dilapidated, it must be very magnificent, the layout of the mansion shows the luxury of the ancient forest garden, the two heavy pillars standing in front of the gate are built with precious golden silk nanmu, which has been immortal for hundreds of years, but the vermilion lacquer on it has peeled off.

Li Xiuyuan walked over, the weeds in the front yard were heavy and a strange wind sounded, the weeds were blowing, and the wild birds in the garden behind made a strange scream, as if he was not welcome.

As soon as you enter the lobby, the surroundings instantly become dark.

Even the sunlight couldn't get in, and the temperature dropped several degrees at once.

With such a cold feeling, there must be a very powerful ghost entrenched here.

However, for ghosts, Li Xiuyuan is the least afraid.

All he fears is demons.

"I don't know where the ghosts and gods dare to show themselves in broad daylight, don't you know the avoidance of the two worlds of yin and yang? Li Xiuyuan walked over, and he saw the old man in the purple official uniform speak.

The old man in purple suddenly laughed, and there was a kind of chill that permeated people: "You're not afraid of the old man?"

"Sometimes people are more terrifying than ghosts, besides, why should I be afraid of you?" Li Xiuyuan looked at this person, not afraid.

The old man in purple said, "I will eat people, are you afraid?"

"Then you have to have good teeth, if I am eaten by you, it is also my lack of good fortune, my ability is not good, I deserve to die here, I will not blame you. Li Xiuyuan said: "This mansion is mine now, although I don't know how many evil ghosts are entrenched here, but I hope you can move out of here." ”

"I appear to see you today to advise you to get out of here, for the sake of you being a scholar, otherwise you will not survive tonight. The old man in purple said lightly.

Li Xiuyuan said, "I persuaded you to leave, but you persuaded me to leave, but you until this mansion is already mine, not you ghosts and gods." ”

"You just came, the old man and others have been here for hundreds of years, who do you say this mansion belongs to?" said the old man in purple.

"The whole world is not the king's land, you live in the Great Song Dynasty, you should follow the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, people are no exception, ghosts and gods are no exception, I have the title deed in hand, even if I go to the government, I can also prove that this house is mine, your ghosts and gods are just forcibly occupying here, not allowing living people to live, like robbers and bandits, occupying the mountain as the king, no, you are not even as good as robbers, robbers still occupy ownerless things, barren mountains and wilderness, and you occupy other people's property, private houses, which is equivalent to depriving others of wealth. Li Xiu said from afar.

"You don't even respect ghosts and gods in your heart, do you want to be retaliated?" said the old man in purple with an expressionless face.

Li Xiuyuan said: "You seize other people's mansions and do robber things, although you are a first-class ghost and god, but your style is so low, and you lose your authority and morality, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"

He didn't expect this ghost god to appear to drive him away, but how could he give up his house to these wild ghosts and wild gods who don't know where they came from, this place was haunted in the past, and it was necessary to clean up this place now that he came.

The old man in purple saw that Li Xiuyuan's attitude was so resolute and his reasoning was so upright, but he didn't know to refute it for a while, but after glancing at Li Xiuyuan with an expressionless face, his body became lighter, faded, and finally disappeared on the main seat, disappearing.

And when the old man in purple disappeared, Li Xiuyuan saw a mural painted on the wall behind him.

On the mural, an old man is dressed in a purple court robe, stroking his beard and looking ahead, majestic and magnificent.

The appearance of the old man in this mural is exactly the same as the disappeared ghost just now, probably in front of the old man.

"That old ghost ran away, what should the eldest young master do now, this house can't be wanted, leave quickly, otherwise I'm afraid that there will be more demons and monsters at night." Ma Dong said urgently.

"No, I'm going to stay here tonight, I want to see how many ghosts and gods are entrenched in a Jinling City. Li Xiuyuan stood with his hands in his hands, with an indifferent attitude.

Tiangong has abided by the agreement to remove the ghosts and gods that were sealed in the Yangzhou realm, and there are only two types of ghosts and gods left, either the little hair gods who have not been sealed, or a group of demons and monsters, and there is no third possibility.

In this way, he was able to deal with it better.

He left the good spirits behind, and the evil spirits were removed.

"Go out and get some food, and clean out some of the rooms, and we'll be here tonight." Li Xiu said from afar.

"This, young master, this is a murderous mansion, there are ghosts and ghosts in broad daylight, it can be seen that the situation here is extraordinary, the small suggestion is to retreat for the time being, and it is not too late to figure out the situation here." Ma Dong was a little shocked.

It's already a terrible feeling to be here, and if you stay here for one night, you don't know if you'll be a corpse tomorrow.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, and I will be fine." ”

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan's attitude was so resolute, the guards didn't have much to persuade them, so they had to go and buy some food, which had already been used, and then cleared out a few side rooms to prepare to rest at night.

After some preparation, it was soon getting dark.

During this period, Li Xiuyuan visited this mansion, to be honest, this is indeed worthy of the mansion of the prime minister of the previous dynasty, the scale is not said, but it has not been taken care of for hundreds of years, many houses have been damaged, if you want to repair it, the money will definitely cost a lot. However, he didn't plan to repair them all, thinking that the front hall and a few nearby wings could be repaired, and there was no need to repair the garden behind.

It's midnight.

A bonfire was lit in the open space in the front yard, and the fire burned brightly, illuminating the front yard.

The light of the fire even surprised some of the people in the vicinity.

Because I don't know how many years have passed, there has been no fire in this mansion, and I don't want someone to suddenly live in it today, and I don't know that the bold person dares to live in this murderous mansion.

Li Xiuyuan was sitting in front of the bonfire with a stool in his hand at the moment, holding a book in his hand, looking at it seriously, both passing the time and waiting for something to arrive.

The four guards didn't dare to go too far, waiting around without leaving an inch, their eyes swept around from time to time, it seemed that there might be a few fierce ghosts here at any time, and they had to be prepared in advance.

"This mansion is only worth eight hundred taels of silver in Jinling City because it is haunted, and no one dares to take it over, the barren mountain is only worth one thousand taels of silver, and the two land deeds of this Hou Mansion are only worth a small part, and they still owe me twenty-eight thousand two hundred taels of silver, since this Hou Mansion is not going to pay it back, then help him cross out the same money, and this one will be added to my father's head." ”

Li Xiuyuan held the book of life and death in his hand, checked the blessing of the Hou Mansion of the Hou Mansion, and then he wrote something on it.

The pen is an ordinary pen, but the cinnabar is not an ordinary cinnabar, and it is mixed with his blood.

Only in this way can he leave traces in the book of life and death, on which ordinary pen and ink would not be able to write at all.

"Reduce 28,000 taels, and return Li Dafu in Guobei County. Li Xiuyuan added a stroke to it.

His name is not in the book of life and death, and he can only return it to his father.

And this is actually not a real change in the book of life and death, but a flexible change, because even if the Hou Mansion does not repay the silver taels, he will offset it with his wealth, and he will lose 28,000 taels invisibly in the future, and the same Li family will also increase his wealth by 28,000 taels, and then his income will increase invisibly, and the balance will be reached.

However, this is too slow, and it will take at least a few years or even more than ten years to see the effect, and Li Xiuyuan will be able to see the effect within a few days if he starts writing.

He did this to let the people of the Hou Mansion know what karma was.

People who don't know how to revere have no bottom line, and such people are very dangerous.

Just when Li Xiuyuan had just finished what he was doing, suddenly, a strange wind blew in the entire mansion.

The wind did not blow from a distance and pass by here and then disappear, but a hovering near this courtyard, blowing the nearby weeds rattling, the nearby broken doors and windows also swayed violently, making a cumping sound, and at the same time, several vague figures flashed in various dark and dark corners, which looked like a person walking quickly, but when I looked seriously, it was just a phantom of weeds swinging.

"Are you here?"

Li Xiuyuan's expression moved, put down the book of life and death in his hand, and looked up.

He saw a number of little ghosts hiding among the weeds, including starving ghosts with yellow faces and thin muscles, hanged ghosts with long tongues, old ghosts in the grave wearing shrouds and black faces, and even more unjust ghosts with missing arms and legs.

I don't know how many ghosts are standing on the bottom of this house.

No wonder the people in the vicinity did not dare to approach here, and they said that this was a murderous mansion when they inquired casually.

With so many ghosts, it is indeed a real murderous house.

"Since you're here, why bother to show off with these inappropriate little tricks, thinking that these little ghosts can scare me?" Li Xiuyuan said lightly.

As his words fell, a gust of wind blew up, and the door of the mansion was blown open with a thud.

Rows of red lanterns stretched from the street in the distance until they reached the front door of the mansion.

The red lantern floated in the air, emitting a strange red light.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes stared, and he saw that behind every lantern there was an errand officer, some of these officials were blue-faced, some were black-faced, and they were all ghosts of one level.

"The ghost is lit up, the pomp is very big, and there seems to be a great existence in Jinling City. ”

Although I was shocked in my heart, I was within the scope of acceptance.

There are no powerful ghosts and gods entrenched in a big city like Jinling City, so he can't believe it.
