Chapter 7: Harmless ghost

Shi Xuan's previous physical bodies, Du Bai and Xu Tianqi, had been classmates for eight years, and they had a good relationship with each other. Only after Xu Tianqi wandered through the rivers and lakes, they never met again. It was not until Xu Laodao passed away and the Xu family held a funeral that Du Bai saw Xu Tianqi again. It has been almost a year since then.
Because Shi Xuan got the truth about the old Taoism of Xu, the Xu family was familiar with it and knew that Taoism was magical, so after the funeral, Shi Xuan declined their invitation to ask for trouble, but he also remained indifferent. Attitude.
"Senior Brother Xu, haven't seen him for a long time, has always been well?" Although Shi Xuan was surprised, he quickly calmed down.
Xu Tianqi was a little embarrassed, but he quickly concealed the past and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Shi, I have been in the rivers and lakes all these years. I rarely spend time at home, but you have been practicing behind closed doors. You want to come here to make a lot of money. ."
Shi Xuan looked at Xu Tianqi as if something was going on, so he said, "Senior Brother Xu, if you don't mind, go inside and drink some tea."
Xu Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief: "Very happy."
The two entered the small courtyard, because Xu Tianqi was a relatively familiar person and knew it well, so Shi Xuan took him to sit by the stone table in the corner of the small courtyard, and then went into the kitchen to make a pot of tea. Came back.
Filling each with tea, Shi Xuan said with a smile: "Senior Brother Xu has such a great reputation in the rivers and lakes. I am a little Taoist who does not go out of the house and does not hear things outside the window."
"Where, where, it's just that friends on the rivers and lakes give face." Although Xu Tianqi said polite words, the proud expression on his face did not abate.
"How come, but in the restaurant, you can often hear Brother Xu you chasing and killing the'Pink Swallow' Hang for three, six, two days and two nights, and finally punish this harlot."
As if scratched to the itch, Xu Tianqi suddenly became excited, and repeated the story that Shi Xuan had heard several times, but from the perspective of the people at the time, it didn't have a taste.
Shi Xuan deliberately guided the topic, and the two were very lively talking about Xu Tianqi's wandering in the rivers and lakes. When Xu Tianqi returned to Xia'an Mansion this time and there were still a few guests, Xu Tianqi appeared again when he was outside the door. With an awkward expression, after hesitating for a long time, seeing Shi Xuan just smiling and drinking tea, he had to speak out.
"Junior Brother Shi, Brother Yu came here this time to ask for something, and I will repay you well after it's done."
Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Oh, things you can't do, Brother Xu, how can I be a little Taoist priest."
Xu Tianqi smiled: "Junior Brother Shi, what you learned from your ancestors is a great skill. This time this thing is just right for you." Then before Shi Xuan answered, he continued, "I will come home this time, and there are still others with you. How did the friends in the rivers and lakes know that after they came back, they were found out by the pesky from the Xia family in the north of the city. They walked around Yuqiong all day, and often provoke me. You don’t know Shiji, that Xia Wenhui is really hateful, If both of us are people in the building, and we are conspiring to do some business in private, and the clansmen restrain us from fighting each other, I must teach him a severe lesson."
The Xia family was the original magnate of Xia’an Mansion. It was the influence of the famous big gang, Drizzle House in Jiangnan and Huainan, in Xia’an Mansion. It is said that the Xia family was still the veteran family when Drizzle House was founded. The masters (the masters of the day after tomorrow and the great Zhoutian) gradually declined, and after the Xu family made a name in the arena, they quickly took refuge in the Drizzle House, because there are many first-class experts in the Xu family, and the Drizzle House also values ​​it very much. Hand over the private salt business in this area to the Xia family and Xu family to cooperate.
After taking a sip of tea, he took a sigh of relief. Watching Shi Xuan listened with a smile, he continued: "But these days, the Xia Wenhui actually designed to excite me, and then made a bet with me when I was excited. Whoever loses will say three times to the other party in front of Yuqiong, "I am wrong, I am not a human." In private, I have to give the other party one thousand taels of silver. The money matter is not important, and I am most afraid of losing it in front of Yuqiong. It saves face, hey."
Recently, Shi Xuan, who was troubled by money, heard the bet of one thousand taels of silver. He was slightly moved, but it was only a heartbeat, and his reason was still there, so he signaled Xu Tianqi to continue talking, and it was not too late to hear his assessment.
"Our bet this time is to go to the ghost house in Qupeihe in the north of the city three days later, each with two people, and then spend the night there. If anyone is scared to run out of the house first, he will lose. Shishi, I know you Dao is magical, and it’s best at dealing with this kind of ghosts, and the ghosts in this house never hurt human lives. Generally, it just scares people out of the house, but at most they are scared and thrown out. Shi, don’t care about me If you win or not, after this matter, I will pay you five hundred taels of silver."
"Uh, Brother Xu, when did the ghost spread? There are usually some rumors." Shi Xuan was a little excited when he heard that there was a ghost. This is the first time he might have seen a ghost in two lives, even though he knows. I have started to build roads, and ghosts, weird, demon should be able to hear and see often, but after all, it is very new now. Xu Laodao's education for Du Bai has always been based on cultivation, and the elimination of ghosts and evils is only a trivial matter, so he has never taken Du Bai to actually eliminate ghosts.
Of course, excitement goes to excitement, and the various rumors of this ghost must be inquired clearly, so that its strength can be analyzed more accurately, so as not to get rid of the ghost in excitement, but instead be removed by the ghost, the joke will be a big deal.
Xu Tianqi was very pleased to see Shi Xuan's tendency to agree, and immediately replied: "The house was destroyed by fire thirteen years ago. It is said that many people were burned to death at that time, because too many people died. No one has been willing to buy this land to rebuild the house. Seven years ago, after things faded away, a wealthy businessman from the state city bought the land and the land next to it to build a big house, but it was repaired and moved in. Haunted in the sky. I hired several famous monks and Taoists, but they didn’t get rid of the ghost. Instead, it became more and more intense. The rich merchants were often scared and fainted in the middle of the night, and then fell asleep on the street the next day. The wealthy businessman really had no choice but to move to other places. Then the house changed several owners, and they were all scared to move away. Gradually the name of the house spread out, and no one dared to buy it. It’s been abandoned there."
After a pause, he continued: "In the past few years, there have been some beggars or guts who tried to live in, but without exception, they were either scared away or fainted and thrown out. Anyway, I have never heard of this ghost. Which life."
Shi Xuan judged from the age that this ghost is probably between the soul-cultivating period and the soul-enriching period, because first, the ghost has no sacrifices, otherwise it will not be possible to scare people, and secondly, it has never harmed people. This is because there is no need for blood. , Which shows that the cultivation base is only at the point where you can simply inhale some yang energy. So probably some places near Qupei River have formed yin lands, and they become yin ghosts when they encounter the obsession of the burned to death, but this is a government city, which is very popular, so yin and qi land is not considered to be a place. With good quality, the formed ghost will not have that kind of growth rate against the sky.
This was just a preliminary inference. Shi Xuan asked Xu Tianqi some questions again, mainly to judge whether the ghost's obsession was strong or weak, fierce obsession or beautiful obsession, Shi Xuan finally said to Xu Tianqi: " Brother Xu, this incident came suddenly, and I still need to think about it," Seeing what Xu Tianqi was going to say, I hurriedly signaled not to say more, "Well, this time tomorrow, I will give you an answer. Even if I don't go, I will I will give you some talisman to make you prepared."
Seeing Shi Xuan's insistence, Xu Tianqi had no choice but to make an appointment for tomorrow and went home. Shi Xuan cleaned up, and went out.
Shi Xuan went to the city this afternoon to inquire about all kinds of complicated news, and then inquired about the neighbourhood. He could basically confirm what Xu Tianqi had said about the ghost, so he was relieved. I controlled my mood at night, and after I finished my homework, I checked the condition of the talisman seal on the lower body, and went straight to Qu Peihe’s winding place in the north of the city, and looked at the surrounding environment of the house on the spot, and then used the talisman seal to open the sky. The flow of yin qi is indeed not a good quality of yin qi as judged by oneself.
However, Shi Xuan did not go into the house. After all, he decided to go with Xu Tianqi now, so there would be no difference between going now and going later.
At noon on the second day, Xu Tianqi couldn’t wait to come to the door. Shi Xuan did not put on airs. He gave an affirmative reply. Xu Tianqi was overjoyed and sent two hundred taels of silver when he returned that day, showing that he would absolutely keep his promise. No matter you win or lose, you will never lose money.
After Shi Xuan received the silver, he had the final say. It seems that even if he doesn’t sell the yard, he still needs enough silver for his practice at this stage, but after going out, the yard will be empty, so he must sell it, but he has more capital. Waiting for a better price.
Moreover, according to Xu Lao Dao’s experience, even if the meridians of the whole body are connected to the day after tomorrow, he still needs a lot of ingredients every day to replenish the essence. Even entering the soul-out period, it will not achieve the real bigu, but it is more patient than ordinary people. It takes more than ten times longer, and you can not eat for about half a year, unless you practice until the entrainment period. Therefore, although you can go out to travel in the future and you can eat game to replenish your energy, it is best to have a pen of silver on your body for urgent use.
