On the second day, Sun Bin got up early to write a letter and sent someone to send it to the mansion of Lord Fa Cao in Nanping Mansion.

Within a few days, Nanping Facao came to reply.

The letter said that after he got the news of Sun Bin, he immediately asked people to dig up the ground to find the body, and sure enough, a rotting corpse was found near the inn, with obvious knife marks on the neck bone. After detailed verification, it was found out that the owner Zhou Ying had sold the inn at a low price two years ago and returned to his hometown. Facao then sent a special messenger to arrest the murderer.

At the time of writing this letter, Zhou Ying had already been arrested.

On this day, Sun Bin called Sun Xu and said, "My son, your township test has ended, and the deadline for next year's test is approaching." The state middle school is already registering and submitting the candidates for next year's examination to the Beijing Division. You should pick a time to go as soon as possible. ”

Although Sun Bin has entered the Tao, he is still an ordinary man in the end, and he does not have a complete monk mentality, so he cannot put aside the red dust. Therefore, he still thinks that his son can also be named on the gold list, so as to continue the Sun family's achievements.

Sun Xu listened, and the cloud responded lightly. Although he has no intention of taking the imperial examination, firstly, it is his father's order, and secondly, he has to deal with secular royal power to rebuild the heavenly court, and this imperial examination must be taken. What's more, there is also a big centipede entrenched in the Jingshi.

Because he felt that he would only return in three or five days at most, Sun Xu did not take Ah Yi and Ah Shi with him, and after letting everyone settle down, he went on the road alone.

Out of Fucheng, Sun Xu found a place where no one was, fell into the clouds, and soon left the jurisdiction of Fucheng.

After Sun Xu returned from traveling in the zombie world, he has been practicing Taoism for 260 years. Later, in the main world, after the capital city was placed under the rule, some Taoism should have been added, but because Yin Si was not complete, no rewards were given. But he was already able to perform the Soaring Cloud Technique, and his speed was about a thousand miles a day.

Although he told others to go back and forth to the state city in three or five days, in fact, Sun Xu estimated that he would be able to go back and forth in one day.

It's just that there are always accidents in the world, and when Sun Xu passed by a village and town, he saw that there was a demonic spirit and blocked the way, so he hesitated. Secretly calculated the time, and felt that it should be in time, so the clouds fell.

The moment he landed on the ground, with him as the center, the demonic qi in a radius of dozens of zhang suddenly emptied.

After Sun Xu landed, he took a look and found that this place was actually a prosperous village and town. The place where it landed, but it was a house, and the plaque at the gate read "Liu House".

stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened about half an arm's width wide, and an old servant flashed out of the door, and when he saw Sun Xu's face, he couldn't help but feel a little vigilant in his heart: "This son, dare to ask what?"

That is, seeing that Sun Xu is polite and a scholar, if he looks fierce, it is estimated that this old servant will close the door directly.

"It seems that it is not very peaceful here, otherwise the sky and day would not have encountered strangers so vigilant. Sun Xu said in his heart, and said to the old servant gently: "Uncle, I am a scholar who is going to the state city, but because I have been walking for a long time, I am a little tired, and I want to spend a night here." ”

When the old servant heard this, the look of vigilance on his face became heavier, and he said: "The deserted village is remote, the humble house is narrow, and there is nowhere to treat the distinguished guests, I am really sorry!

Sun Xu resisted the door panel and said with a smile: "Uncle, I think you should ask your master first." ”

The old servant listened, glanced at Sun Xu again, said with some hesitation, and then closed the door and went in.

After a while, the door opened with a loud "quack", but I saw the old servant leading an old man out, the old man with white temples and a folding scarf on his head, about fifty years old, saw Sun Xu, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency is from Jinhua Mansion?"

Sun Xu said: "Exactly. ”

When the old man heard this, he knelt directly on the ground, and his words were full of earnestness: "Please also ask Gongzi to be merciful and save me!"

Seeing this, Sun Xu hurriedly helped the old man up and asked, "The old man doesn't have to make this big gift, please explain the reason, but if you do what you can, you will definitely not refuse." ”

The old man was helped up by Sun Xu, calmed down his mood, and then said: "My family has lived in this town for generations, and is willing to be kind and charitable, and never bullies others, but a few days ago, I don't know what happened, and there were many strange things in the house, and I invited a few Taoist monks to do it, but it was ineffective after all." Last night, the god in the dream of the little old man told each other, saying that if there is a Jinhua scholar here today, he can solve this misfortune, if no one comes, then no one can save Liu Zhai, and he can only wait for others to let go. ”

Sun Xu listened, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "My husband is relieved, I will do my best." ”

Under the leadership of the master and servant of the Liu family, Sun Xu quickly stepped into the main hall of the Liu house.

After entering the house, Sun Xu obviously felt that the demonic aura here was very heavy, but when he used it, there was no demonic spirit.

"It seems that these demons have stayed here for a long time, otherwise there would not be such a heavy demonic aura. Sun Xu said in his heart.

"Please be seated, come on, serve tea. When Sun Xu entered the house, Master Liu hurriedly shouted.

"Master Liu, you didn't elaborate on what strange things happened in your mansion that made you so distressed. As soon as Sun Xu sat down, he asked about the details.

Master Liu sighed and said, "Alas, since before March, as long as it is nighttime in the house, after everyone falls asleep, it will become brightly lit, and there will be the sound of singing from time to time.

Xiao Lao'er was not angry at first, thinking that the subordinates did not open their eyes, so they wanted to go over and reprimand, but I didn't know any of the people who were messing around in the house, and when I called the subordinates, they all said that they didn't know.

We all knew that we had encountered a monster, so we hurriedly splashed them with dog blood, but it didn't work. Later, I invited senior monks and Taoist priests, but they couldn't recover it, but they were taught a lesson by those monsters. Since then, the house has been a human during the day, but a youkai at night. ”

"Then someone in your house died because of this?"

"Ouch, look at what you said, it's uncomfortable enough to make people sleep badly every day, if you make another fuss, will you still be alive?"

Sun Xu frowned slightly, and said, "What have you done to offend ghosts before?" It stands to reason that since these ghosts don't hurt people, they know karma and karma, and they won't come to you for no reason. ”

As Sun Xu said, people are the spirits of all things, and yang energy is very heavy, while ghosts and monsters belong to yin, and they are inherently restrained. Therefore, even if ghosts and monsters harm people, they will only pick the night and use the yin energy of heaven and earth to restrain people's yang energy.

But the ghosts of Liu Mansion obviously chose the time at night, but they only made a disturbance and did not harm anyone, which is not in harmony.

Master Liu thought for a while, found nothing, and replied: "Little Lao'er has done good deeds for generations and has never done evil things, how can he have a grudge against ghosts?"
