Look at the wet ghost footprints all over the yard, and the smell of ashes and sheep in the air.

You can imagine how many ghosts came to this courtyard last night.

Among them, there are house ghosts who are worshipped, water ghosts who die in the water in vain, and some gods who enjoy incense...... And the Tao is not low, at least they have been cultivated for hundreds of years, and none of the ghosts are simple goods, either the ghost will be first-class, or the ghost king level.

Li Xiuyuan frowned, he looked around, and saw that the water tank where the white lotus was stocked had cracked, and the white lotus inside was nowhere to be found.

I looked at the room opposite.

But I saw the door on the opposite side open, and rows of wet footprints followed the steps into the house.

Li Xiuyuan walked over to take a look, but saw that there was no longer a female ghost Xiao Xie in the house, and even the Qiurong girl who stayed overnight last night was missing, and the house was already empty.

"Lei Gong, what happened last night, is there any ghost in the world who dares to break into this courtyard in front of you and kidnap a female ghost and a living person?"

He strode out of the house and looked at the big scarlet rooster in the courtyard.

Lei Gong lowered his head and looked extremely depressed, but he just giggled twice, and did not try to argue.

"With your ability to practice the following five hundred years of Taoism into your eyes is equivalent to feeding, your ability to eat ghosts makes the ghosts feel extremely fearful, and I didn't hear your chirp at night, it is impossible not to wake me up with your scream, unless you were not in the court at all last night

Stay in the courtyard, or ..... was deliberately lured away by a trick. ”

Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he said seriously.

"Well, now that the matter has happened, I blame you for the disadvantage of guarding, and there is also a taste of shirking responsibility, which also has the reason why I slept too comfortably yesterday, thinking that there was nothing wrong with painting the ground as a prison, but I didn't think about the safety of other people, this is my poor consideration, I will reflect on myself

I will make up for my mistakes. ”

He thought that most of the ghosts and gods in the world were aiming at themselves, so his vigilance was very high, and he neglected to protect his surroundings.

"Han Meng, Wu Xiang, are you there?"

Li Xiuyuan suddenly discovered that the guards who had been stationed nearby in turn for twelve hours on weekdays were also missing at this moment.

He called out, but no one answered.

"Could it be that something happened to the people in the dart game?"

With this question, he immediately walked to the front yard.

But when I got to the front yard, I saw a number of armor soldiers lying on the ground, in the lobby, and in the side rooms, their faces were pale and weak, as if they were suffering from some disease.

At this moment, Han Meng had just walked in from outside the dart game, and he had brought several doctors behind him.

"Young Master, are you awake?" When Han Meng saw Li Xiuyuan, he immediately greeted him and bowed respectfully.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Han Meng, what's going on, why did the armor soldiers I brought and the dart heads of the dart game all fall to the ground overnight?"

"This, this, the eldest young master, the little one doesn't know, the little one woke up last night and saw that all the brothers were sick, the little one felt that the matter was urgent, so he went out first to invite the doctor to treat the brothers, and was ready to report the matter to the eldest young master later. Han Meng said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "What you did was not wrong, the handling was indeed very timely, several doctors, you are all famous doctors in the capital, what kind of disease did you see these subordinates of mine have, and they all fell ill overnight?"

Then he bowed to the doctors invited by Han Meng.

A doctor returned a salute, and then said: "This son, according to the old man's eyes, this should be a drowning disease, plus wind and cold into the body, it is not a particularly serious emergency." ”

"Then there are a few doctors who will treat it. Li Xiuyuan said.

However, another doctor shook his head and said: "Although all the patients do have signs of wind chill and drowning, it is impossible for all of them to fall ill overnight

It was an evil that entered the body, and the sudden onset of illness, your mansion was only afraid of provoking something unclean. ”

But there is truth to this. The other doctors nodded.

They heal the sick, and they are not shy about ghosts and spirits, unlike some scholars, who are silent and confused at every turn.

Li Xiuyuan's expression sank: "Can a few doctors heal well?"

"The old man tried it first, and only after confirming the symptoms did he prescribe the right medicine. A doctor walked up to a man who was sitting on the ground, looked at his face, looked at his tongue, and took his pulse.

Finally, he touched the lower abdomen of the dart head.

I saw that the lower abdomen of the dart head was bulging, and there was a fishy smell on his body, and he looked like a drowning person.

The doctor said, "Doctor Wang, if you help me, you have to induce vomiting for the patient first." ”

The doctor nodded, and the two of them lifted the dart, and after some massage, they slapped him heavily on the back.

Immediately the pale-faced dart head bent over and vomited.

A puddle of fishy river water spit out, and there were river grass and mud in the water, which seemed to be the disease of a drowning person.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes were solemn, because he knew that his subordinates were all in the dart game yesterday night, and they didn't go out at all, so where would they drown? Even if a few people went out to drown, it was impossible for all of them to drown.

"Water ghosts are making trouble, this is a water ghost breaking into my dart game and causing chaos and harming people. He had already guessed in his mind the general cause of the incident.

"Wu Xiang, where is Wu Xiang? Is he also sick?"

Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan asked again.

Han Meng replied: "Back to the eldest young master, Wu Xiang is not sick, he, he is just still asleep......"

"So, the only people in the dart game who are not sick are the two of you?" Li Xiu said from afar.

Han Meng said: "Shajin Dart Head is not sick either. ”

"Really?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly.

He understood why these people didn't fall ill, Sha Jin is a person who practices martial arts, his qi and blood are strong, his yang energy is strong, and he has practiced the iron cloth shirt method, it is difficult for ghosts and gods to harm him, and Han Meng's life is extraordinary, he has looked at Han Meng's qi, his qi is a dragon, and he has the potential of a prince and general, as for Wu Xiang..... That's a fool

There are four elephants to protect themselves, the power is infinite, and the ghosts are difficult to beat.

Not to mention murdering him, it would be a blessing not to be killed by him.

I thought that there should be no accident with these extraordinary people around me, but I didn't want to become like this overnight.

"Burn a letter and go out, and call Ma Dong Niu Er and them back. Li Xiuyuan immediately commanded.

He went to the mirror on Ma Dong Niu Er's body, and he wanted to take the past mirror to see what happened here last night.

"Hey, hey, there's no need to call that cow and horse, they won't be able to come back for a while, they should have already left the capital by this time, it's really hard enough to catch that trafficker. ”

Suddenly, at this time, a whispering voice suddenly came from the dim hall.

Others didn't hear it, they just thought it was a bug buzzing, but Li Xiuyuan understood that this was a ghost talk.

"Huh?"

Li Xiuyuan looked back, his eyes flashed with golden light, but he saw that there was a soldier wearing a waist knife and rusty armor sitting on the main seat in the lobby.

His presence made the entire lobby look dark and damp.

"When will the water ghosts be able to go ashore and make trouble?" he said coldly.

The soldier laughed gloomily: "The Tao is enough, how can there be a place in the world where we water ghosts can't go? Maybe one day when you are drinking tea, a water ghost will lurk in it, enter your belly, so that you can't survive, you can't die, you have some ability,

Dare to injure the third general of the ghost, I really don't take our king in my eyes. ”

"Yesterday's incident just taught you some lessons, it's true that you have the ability, but it looks like the people around you don't have the ability of you, look at the appearance of your subordinates, it doesn't taste good to have a ghost disease. ”

Li Xiuyuan heard that the killing intent was revealed, and strode into the lobby: "It's not right for a mere water ghost to stay in the world, and it's even more wrong to do evil and harm people, and now you dare to be rampant in front of me, I'll punish you now, and then go back to settle accounts with the ghost foreman." ”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a flash of thunder in his hand.

Prepare to kill this water demon with thunder at once, without giving him any chance to repent.

"Wait. ”

The soldier smiled disapprerovingly: "This is just a water ghost stand-in for me, you just killed me just to let me lose some Taoism, and you can't really kill me, and I stayed here just to pass a few words to the king of my family, you killed me, who."

Don't you want to know the whereabouts of the female ghost across your house and the girl?"

Speaking of this, Li Xiuyuan temporarily held back his killing intent, and he said, "Say, what does the ghost foreman have to say to me." ”

"Don't worry, it's not to trouble you, it's just that you offended the three ghost generals under the command of my king, today's matter is just to teach you some lessons, if you are willing to set up three hundred offering tables at night, each table is prepared in front of the table to be worshipped, ten jars of fine wine, twenty pairs of incense and candles, plus three

Ten pounds of paper money, the last time is forgivable, and your female ghost and the girl will also be returned, rest assured, they are all right now, but I can't guarantee that they will be okay tomorrow, hehe. ”

The soldier smiled deeply.

Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "What if I don't agree?"

"If you don't agree, this kind of thing will happen again today, and if you have the ability alone, you can only protect yourself, can you protect the others? If you don't want to cause trouble, just do it, who let you offend the king of my family." "This water ghost soldier is bad.

"Okay, I promise you, three hundred tables are enshrined, and there are a lot of ghosts and gods under the command of the ghost foreman, so when will you come to get it. ”

Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't get angry when he heard this, but put away Lei Fa and agreed.

"Haha, that's right. You are a person who knows magic, naturally you know the power of my king, you can rest assured, as long as you are ready, there will be our people to enjoy the incense offering at night, for the sake of your knowledge of current affairs, I will toss you today, remember, prepare before nightfall,

Otherwise, you will bear the consequences. ”

After the water ghost soldier finished speaking, the excitement on his face turned into a puddle of sewage, which flowed into the gap in the lobby floor, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.
