On New Year's Eve in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Pei Mansion in Yangzhou City.
"Sister, wait a minute." Liang Jiunan smiled and took a pear from the other party's fruit plate: "Thank you very much! My sister is very bright, so she should smile more."
This maid may have seen some of the world and saw that Liang Jiunan was an official from the Demon-Conquering Division. She immediately bowed slightly in anger and hurriedly left.
Liang Jiunan walked to a remote corner and gnawed on a pear, not caring about the eyes of others:
"Tsk, tsk, she is a little girl from the Tang Dynasty after all. She really doesn't take teasing."
"But that figure... is just right, hehe..."
Just as he was giggling, he suddenly received a slap on the back of his head.
Liang Jiunan choked on a mouthful of pear meat and almost couldn't breathe.
After seeing the person clearly, Liang Jiunan looked at the cheerful-looking woman in front of him angrily: "Aunt Tiger, are you going to kill me in this fight with my colleagues?"
The woman smiled coldly and twisted Liang Jiunan's ears:
"I told you, don't call me nicknames! Anyway, I'm two years older than you, call me Yu Langya, or Sister Langya!"
"You are already a mature person. Don't always think about romantic affairs in your mind. Be as virtuous as the boss!"
Liang Jiunan bared his teeth and begged for mercy: "It hurts, it hurts! Sister Langya, please do it! Let go!"
With a slight snort, Yu Langya let go and became serious:
"I just took a look around, and it's true that the Pei Mansion is haunted, just like the rumors!"
"I just heard from my servant that in the past half month, five women have died in the Pei Mansion, all of them were concubines and concubines."
"Also, Lord Pei did not inform the Demon Subduing Division immediately. Instead, he invited the mage from Qianku Temple."
"I heard that the mage was about to leave the ordinary world and enter the ranks of the ninth rank. I never thought that he would vomit blood and die in the end!"
Liang Jiunan couldn't help but show a hint of headache:
"Did my concubine die inexplicably?"
"And a Taoist mage of almost ninth grade died?"
"It's not easy..."
Yu Langya snorted coldly: "Just wait and see, I'll go check out other places."
Looking at the backs of his colleagues, Liang Jiunan shook his head helplessly:
"Tsk, the boss, that drunkard, knows how to trick me."
"In my last life, I worked as a cow and horse every day, stayed up late and worked overtime, and on New Year's Eve I had to listen to the leaders talk about the pattern and dedication."
"How come you died suddenly and tragically, traveled to the Tang Dynasty, and still have to spend New Year's Eve out there?"
"This Lord Pei Ji is a Sima of Yangzhou City. His official position is from the fifth rank, and he is also a member of one of the four major surnames. If this ghost matter is really not handled properly, won't I have to take the blame?"
"This Lao Deng, I'm afraid he's still thinking about how I won a lot of money from him before, so he's deliberately trying to mess with me!"
Sighing, Liang Jiu thought that he was really worthy of this name from time traveled.
First, he died suddenly while working overtime and possessed the body of a young man who had just died in the Tang Dynasty.
Then when he opened his eyes, he looked "affectionately" at the mountain ghost who killed the original owner.
If he hadn't happened to be bumped into by the head of the department handling the case, I might have had to travel through time again on the spot.
However, the original owner's parents died at the mouth of a mountain ghost, leaving him with only a worn-out jade token, so he had no choice but to join the Demon-Conquering Division to find another way to survive.
No matter what, the Demon-Conquering Division is not a good place to go.
As an agency directly under the personal supervision of Emperor Taizong, the Demon Subduing Division is located throughout the Tang Dynasty and counties, specializing in the troubled times of troubled times and the harm of evil spirits and monsters.
So... every New Year's Eve evaluation, as a department directly under Emperor Taizong, the Demon Subduing Division does not interfere in government affairs, but the casualty rate exceeds that of the Beiting Protectorate, which is prone to frequent border wars. It has repeatedly won the top position in the Ministry of Household Pension, and its official career can be said to be Very "promising".
After thinking about it, I got the basic training techniques from the Demon Subduing Division and was able to strengthen my body.
Now, after practicing for ten years, Kankan has finally reached the realm of a ninth-grade warrior in the eighth year. He can break stones and monuments with his internal strength, and can barely fight against lonely ghosts and mountain spirits when he encounters them.
Suddenly, there was a drum beating not far away.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a Nuo opera troupe.
The eaves of the outer courtyard were instantly filled with red lanterns.
There were so many that the candlelight was dazzling, which made some guests a little unhappy.
Liang Jiunan squinted his eyes and naturally recognized that this was an exorcism ceremony in the Nuo opera line.
Yu Langya also hurried back:
"The Nuo magic show, coupled with the presence of the official Lord, this is a huge blessing and nobility, and further cooperates to suppress ghosts and monsters!"
"Why does Mr. Pei just refuse to talk to the Demon-Conquering Secretary?"
Liang Jiunan shrugged.
He didn't care much about the reasons.
In front of such a large official family, the more you know, the more dangerous it is.
…
After a stick of incense:
As the Nuo opera master finished preparing, Pei Sima also walked out of the inner courtyard with his family.
The two of them naturally stepped forward and said hello: "I'm down to you, Liang Jiunan (Yulangya), see Pei Sima!"
As expected, Pei Ji's face turned black, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was clearly in a state of mental decline!
Yu Langya frowned: "Sir, you are surrounded by calamity, why..."
Pei Ji's expression changed, and he laughed dryly and said, "I don't quite understand what you two are talking about. Since you are here on behalf of Chief Li, you two just want to have a drink!"
The two of them wanted to ask something else, but the drums of the Nuo magic circle suddenly beat.
Pei Ji was even more impatient and hurriedly took his seat.
"Something is wrong!" Yu Langya's face was solemn: "I, a ninth-level warlock, can't make a mistake with my qi-gazing technique! Master Pei has an aura of resentment in his body!"
"It seems... that Master Qian Kuguan, who has not yet ascended to the ninth rank, died unjustly." As he said that, Liang Jiu couldn't help but smile, and touched Yu Langya's shoulder lightly: "But Langya With my sister in charge, there will definitely be no problem!"
Yu Langya rolled his eyes: "Let's do this. You and I will guard two sides. If something changes, Master Pei's safety will be our top priority!"
…
After a while, the Nuo opera started!
Several Nuo opera masters formed seals on their palms and surrounded the three-story altar with the method of flames.
In the high-pitched lyrics, the magic of swords, mountains, fire, and swords and bridges swallowing swords complete the ritual surrounding the shrine on the third floor.
"Please... please come on stage..." the leading Nuo opera performer shouted loudly.
While everyone was talking, Pei Ji and his frightened family hurried up to the third-floor altar and knelt in front of the shrine.
By now, the guests also realized something was wrong!
Is this any ordinary blessing ceremony?
Sudden:
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
A shrill scream pierced the night sky.
Before anyone could react, a gust of wind blew the red lanterns exploding one after another.
The candlelight exploded, causing all the guests to panic!
Pei Ji stood up in fear.
Because he brought a concubine to the altar, her belly was bulging rapidly, and black baby handprints appeared all over her body.
"Master! Master!" Pei Ji looked at the Nuo opera performer in front of him in horror.
But none of these masters moved.
Suddenly, there was a sound of bones breaking, and several Nuo opera performers had their necks broken inexplicably. Their eyes bulged and they stared straight at Pei Ji. Then blood spurted out from their mouths and noses, and they suddenly lost their breath!
"not good!"
Seeing what happened, Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya rushed towards the altar at the same time.
"Save...save me...my lord..."
The concubine was shaking all over in pain, and looked in horror as a pair of clear little hands appeared in her belly.
Liang Jiunan roared: "Master Pei, run quickly!"
unexpectedly!
"Woo...wow..."
The baby's cry suddenly became louder, the concubine's whole body trembled, and her belly burst instantly!
Then, the purple-black head, short body...
With a pair of big black eyes, he turned to look at his "mother", grinned, waved his tiny arms, and completely broke free and crawled out.
Looking at the concubine again, she was already lying in a pool of blood, completely lifeless!
Yu Langya was frightened and angry, and clapped his hands: "Get off!"
In an instant, there was a flash of light, and an awakening lion's head flashing with black light appeared in Yu Langya's hand.
Jade Langya grabbed the lion's body with one hand and threw the lion's head like a soft whip. With the sound of exorcism bells, the precious light hit the infant ghost!
"boom!"
The baby ghost fell down, but was unscathed!
Yu Langya's face turned pale: "A fierce ghost that is about to break through the eighth level? Jiu Di, go find the Master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the baby ghost seemed to be angry, and its open mouth suddenly expanded several times!
That bloody mouth bit Yu Langya's throat!
"Sister Langya!" Liang Jiunan roared: "How dare you, evildoer!"
Seeing that Yu Langya was about to be killed on the spot, Liang Jiunan rushed over without thinking.
He took out a talisman and stuck it on his horizontal sword, gathered all his cultivation power, and slashed hard at the infant ghost.
Unexpectedly, when the sword fell down, it would cut off the body of the indestructible infant ghost!
The talisman ignited spontaneously and turned into ashes in an instant!
It’s too late to change tactics!
Ying Gui's sinister smile instantly penetrated Liang Jiunan's heart.
The surroundings seemed to suddenly become silent, and only Yu Langya's sad and angry expression could be seen through the blurred vision.
Liang Jiunan used up his last strength and muttered: "Sister Langya, hurry...run away..."
Consciousness seems to begin to sink into darkness.
…
"Boom!"
Liang Jiunan suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was on an ancient altar.
The altar was actually made of the bones of mountain spirits and wild monsters!
Liang Jiunan was shocked when he looked at the jade plaque floating on the high sacrificial platform.
Isn't this the only ancestral property left by the original owner of this body?
The jade card turned into a scroll in the brilliant light and slowly unfolded!
Several large characters splashed with ink floated in mid-air - Tai Sui Conquering the Demonic Map!
Immediately afterwards, an inexplicable sound resounded like a bell.
"Imperial order, Liang Jiunan!"
"Because you were protecting your colleagues, you were slaughtered by evil spirits. Now, with the power of merit, I will restore you to glory!"
"You should take it as your own duty to rescue people in distress, hold the "Tai Sui Conquering Demons", and protect the peace of the whole party!"
"Now, pass on Liang Jiunan's "Army-Breaking Thunder Technique"!"
"Drive the baby ghost away quickly."
"If you succeed, you will be rewarded with copper coins for your merits. The technique of "Wen Qu Soul Calling"!
"In defeat, the body dies and the Tao disappears, and the soul returns to Tai Sui Tu."
"No mistakes!"
