Chapter 675: Getting Started with the Ghosts
"Hui Gongzi, the little woman was originally the daughter of a gentry in a county in the south, just because she went out by chance that day, she saw a merchant selling goods on the street, and wanted to buy a few items for her daughter's family to go back, but she was deceived into a remote alley by the merchant on the grounds of picking up the goods
Where did she take out a piece of paper and stick it on her body, but when the little woman reacted, she was no longer a daughter, but a goat. ”
Speaking of this, Qiu Rong couldn't help but feel sad again: "After the little woman turned into a sheep, she was driven all the way by the merchant, and even saw him lure other women in the same way, and when the merchant drove the little woman to the capital, there were more than a dozen women who were seduced all the way, the merchant."
The goats that other women turned into were sold to some dealers, and the prices were extremely high, all tens or hundreds of taels of silver, which was more than the price of a goat. ”
"The little woman thought about it, those who bought the sheep must know that these sheep are changed by people, so they are willing to spend money to buy, today when the merchant is ready to sell the little woman, the little woman took advantage of the merchant to negotiate the price of the time ran out, occasionally on the road to see a temple here, so I thought of asking the monk
The rescuer ran to Xiangguo Temple. ”
After that, I was fortunate to meet Childe, and I was rescued by Childe and was able to recover my body. ”
Qiu Rong 1510 told his own experience.
The sheep seller is the merchant.
On the pretext of selling his daughter's goods, he traveled between the towns in the south, and then cast a spell to turn the beautiful woman into a goat, and then drove it to the capital, far away from the woman's hometown, to sell it.
In fact, the matter is not complicated, but the sheep dealer has mastered the art of the side door and used magic to abduct and sell beautiful women.
After listening to this, Li Xiuyuan said seriously: "Since ancient times, there have been traffickers who abduct and sell women, girls and children in all dynasties, but all dynasties and dynasties have imposed severe punishments and strict laws, and such people are severely punished
In this way, Miss Qiurong, your experience is worthy of sympathy, but there are still women who have been victimized, and since I have encountered this matter, I will not care about it. ”
"I have sent the ghost god to catch the sheep dealer, as expected, there will be news in the near future, before that, I hope that Miss Qiurong can stay in the capital for a few days, and when this matter is over, I will send someone from the Shunfeng Dart Bureau to send you home, there are people from the Dart Bureau to escort you, girl, you won't be on the way."
Something unexpected. ”
Qiu Rong said gratefully: "The little girl is unfamiliar with life in the capital, she has nothing to rely on, thanks to the rescue of the son, everything is subject to the son's arrangement." ”
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "Miss Qiurong, don't worry, you can write a letter when you go back, I will send someone to send you home to report your safety first, or you can let your family come to the capital to pick you up, everything is up to you, now it's not early, Miss Qiurong has been tired for many days, I'm afraid."
If you are tired physically and mentally, it is better to rest early. ”
Qiu Rong nodded.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the courtyard, but only then did he remember that there were only two bedrooms in this backyard, one was his, and the other was the female ghost Xiao Xie.
"But there's one thing I'm a little sorry for, the situation of this dart bureau Qiurong girl you have also seen, the front yard is where the people of the dart bureau live, the backyard is a little clean, there is a wing room called Xiao Xie girl, and she also lives here temporarily, if Qiurong girl doesn't mind, can
Of course, if Miss Qiurong minds, I can send someone to send her to the nearest inn to rest. ”
"Thank you for the relationship between the son, the little girl is willing to be in the same room with that little Xie girl. Qiu Rong didn't think about it.
After she became a sheep, she saw too many sinister people's hearts, and she was finally saved, where did she dare to walk around.
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Then I'll ask that little Xie girl's opinion, and ask Miss Qiurong to wait for a while." ”
With that, he walked to the opposite room and knocked on the door.
"Miss Xiao Xie can be in the house? ”
The house was quiet and silent, and the doors and windows were closed for a long time, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.
But a moment later there was a sudden candlelight in the room, and a shadow was cast on the doors and windows, and judging from the shape of the shadow, it was the figure of a woman.
"Is it Gongzi Li?" Xiao Xie's voice sounded, the shadow moved, and Ying Ying gave a salute: "The little girl is polite, I don't know why Gongzi Li knocked on the door so early to visit?"
Li Xiuyuan told the Qiurong girl about it, and then said, "If you don't bother, can you let this Qiurong girl borrow a few nights?"
Xiao Xie listened to Qiu Rong's experience, but sighed faintly: "I didn't expect this girl to be so pitiful, fortunately I met Li Gongzi, otherwise I don't know what kind of place I would live in, but my situation Li Gongzi also knows if he wants to come, and the difference in identity will always be the one if he lives with me."
Not a good thing. ”
"It's just a few days, and I'll be sending it back to my hometown soon, no problem. Li Xiu said from afar.
He knew that there was a difference between humans and ghosts.
People and ghosts can't get along with each other, otherwise it's easy to get sick.
But it doesn't matter if it's only a few days, and this Qiu Rong has also entered Xiangguo Temple, and has been contaminated with the breath of Buddhism, so it is not a problem to resist the yin qi on Xiao Xie's body for a few days.
"Then invite this Qiurong girl in. ”
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, but I saw the deadbolt behind the door falling, and no one opened the wooden door.
After the door was opened, I saw a feminine and beautiful woman standing in the door, looking at Li Xiuyuan with a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Miss Qiurong go in and rest, let's go back to the house to rest first, so I won't disturb you. Li Xiuyuan gave a salute and immediately turned around and left.
Xiao Xie opened his mouth and said, "Is Li Gongzi going to leave just now?"
Li Xiuyuan paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I don't feel afraid, it's just that some of Miss Xie's obsessions should be let go, the ghosts and gods under my command have begun to settle in the capital, and the previous two gods of cattle and horses, Miss Xiao Xie, should have also seen it, and their duty is to arrest those who stay in the world."
So after the things in the capital settle down, I don't think there's much time left for you, Miss Xie. ”
After saying that, he went back to his room to rest.
When Xiao Xie saw Li Xiuyuan return to the room, he sighed faintly: "Why is there a man like you in the world, if you are an ordinary scholar, how good it would be, but I don't know where I learned the ability to catch ghosts and eliminate demons." ”
Then she looked at Qiu Rong and said, "If it weren't for Li Gongzi's personal plea, I wouldn't have allowed you to live with me." ”
Qiu Rong lowered his head and did not refute.
"Alas, it's me who is willful, how can I make things difficult for you, come in quickly, it's a little cold outside at night. ”
"Thank you, little girl. Qiu Rong gave a salute.
"You're welcome, this is originally Gongzi Li's mansion, and I just borrowed it, if you want to thank Gongzi Li, I don't deserve your gratitude." Xiao Xie said.
When Qiu Rong walked into the bedroom, he glanced around.
But she saw that the furniture in the house was very old, as if it had been placed for decades, and the wood paint in some places was mottled and fell, if it wasn't for the fact that it was still clean and spotless, she suspected that she had walked into a house that had been abandoned for decades.
"You just go to the side room to rest, there is no servant here, if there is anything to do, you can solve it yourself." Xiao Xie said.
But at this time.
Li Xiuyuan had already fallen asleep.
But on this day he had another dream.
It's been a while since the last time I dreamed.
Or the last dream, in which he was in a peach forest, where the houses were like houses, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, everything was both familiar and strange.
Li Xiuyuan still stood in front of a blacksmith shop like last time.
An old blacksmith was mending a broken broadsword, hammering it and then calcining it in a furnace.
There was no fire in the stove, only a handful of flames.
The temperature can't burn the blade red, and the hammer doesn't hurt to deform it.
"Old man, you can't repair the blade of the knife by beating it like this, you have to increase the temperature of the furnace fire, and you have to add other iron to integrate it into the blade before you can forge the knife again. Li Xiuyuan opened his mouth to remind.
The old blacksmith smiled: "Of course I know, but there is such a blacksmith shop here, and the iron has run out, and it will never be found again." ”
Li Xiuyuan said: "Can't you find it anywhere else?"
"You can't find it anywhere else, but you have a piece in your hand. The old blacksmith said.
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he looked down suddenly, but saw that he didn't know when he was holding a stone in his hand, which was golden and eye-catching.
Before he could speak, he heard the old blacksmith continue to sigh: "Even your piece is not enough, you have to find another piece." ”
"Then where should I go to find it?" Li Xiuyuan was about to ask.
Suddenly, a golden rooster crowed in my ears.
In an instant, his eyes opened and he woke up from his dream.
"It's a dream again, it's the same dream. Li Xiuyuan frowned and rubbed his head: "But I want to remember but I can't remember what happened in the dream, weird, weird, do you want to go to the master another day and ask?"
"Go, go~!"
Suddenly, at this time, the cry of Lei Gong suddenly sounded outside the door, and for some reason, the big red rooster slammed into his door, looking very impatient, as if something had happened.
"Early in the morning, Lei Gong, what are you arguing about?" Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to get up and open the door.
He cast a spell outside the door to draw the ground into a prison, and this Lei Gong couldn't break in no matter how spiritual he was.
As soon as the door opened, he immediately smelled a fishy smell, like the smell of mutton.
This smell was very strong, which made Li Xiuyuan immediately frown.
Wrong.
This is the smell left by the water ghosts.
He strode out, and as soon as he went out, he saw wet footprints beside the steps of his door, as if someone had paced his door several times last night.
Looking at the courtyard again, there were dense wet footprints, and there were some ashes scattered in the corners of the courtyard.
It's like paper ash is left behind after burning.
"There was a group of ghosts entering the door last night. Li Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly.
He was asleep last night and still dreaming, having no idea what was going on outside.
