After the Taichu Dynasty came to an end, the land of the Central Plains became much calmer, and the major forces were in a delicate balance.
Yufeng City is located in Fengyang County, south of Fengwu County, Yingzhou. Although the city is not large, it has convenient transportation and extends in all directions. It was once a very prosperous small town.
Li Boqian's mediocre rule made the entire Yingzhou miserable, and the exploitation and oppression of corrupt officials also caused this small town to lose its former prosperity.
After the war, Xinhan took over most of the counties in Yingzhou, and Fengwu County, where Yufeng City was located, was among them. Han Linfu was much wiser than Li Boqian. In less than two months, Yufeng City was restored. Revitalized.
On the streets of Yufeng City, more and more traders and people were coming and going, and a young woman was walking among the crowd.
The woman was wearing a simple long dress. Ordinary clothes could not hide her hot figure. She was holding a huge lotus leaf in her hand to block the sun. Behind her was a big yellow dog. She was none other than Ji Ling'er, the eldest lady of the Beast King Valley who had escaped.
Ji Ling'er wandered happily on the street, looking here and there, looking very relaxed. Her spirit beast, the yellow dog, seemed to have shrunk and became no different from an ordinary dog, but the giant spirit rat, Xiao Dian, was No trace.
After wandering around for a long time, she entered an inn to rest. When she entered the room, a small mouse jumped out of her sleeves. It was Xiaodian.
Xiaodian bared his teeth at Ji Linger, as if to express his dissatisfaction.
Ji Ling'er smiled and held up Xiaodian, stroking its soft hair and said: "Sister Xiaodian knows that you are too suffocated in your sleeves. I really can't help it. Taking you out will be too conspicuous. If you are discovered, You’re in big trouble, my sister will buy you some delicious food later.”
Xiaodian's anxious mood calmed down as his head was caressed by Ji Ling'er's slender hand.
Ji Ling'er touched the money bag in her arms, her tone became melancholy and she said: "It's been a while since I came out. It's really fun outside, but we're running out of money. We're selling everything we can." If it is lost, if it is pawned for something unique to the valley, it may cause trouble again."
"What should we do? I didn't expect that my majestic Ji Nuxia would be stumped by money." Ji Ling'er pouted with a worried look on her face.
Xiaodian heard this and started making gestures in Ji Linger's hands.
When Ji Ling'er saw this, she immediately shook her head. She said a little sternly: "No, absolutely not! My father told me not to steal since I was a child. We must not steal other people's property, and you can't do it either!"
Xiaodian suddenly withered. With a look of aggrievedness on his face, he lay on Ji Linger's hand and stopped moving.
"What should I do? Oh no, no one has ever taught me how to earn money..." Ji Ling'er started thinking.
Suddenly her eyes brightened up and she said: "Yes! Let's go exterminate the bandits. Punishing evil and promoting good is what a heroine should do. Find a group of wealthy bandits, who will not only cover our expenses but also support us." Poor people!”
Before she was happy for a long time, Ji Ling'er thought of something. Her face quickly dropped and she said helplessly: "This won't work either. I heard that the new Korean king has ordered the government to wipe out all the bandits and bandits in Yingzhou. , where should we find the bandits now?"
Just when Ji Ling'er was feeling worried, there was a noise outside the inn. She opened the window with a curious look on her face. On the street downstairs, a group of people were gathering around a notice on the wall and talking.
Ji Ling'er suddenly became interested, and she said excitedly: "There is a lot of fun outside, come with me!"
The small electric drill skillfully inserted into her sleeve, while Big Huang followed closely behind her.
"It's such a big gesture, worthy of Tan Bancheng!"
"A mere thousand taels of silver is nothing to Ren Tan Yuanwai, but spending so much money to drive away ghosts is quite new."
"If I were a Taoist priest and I went to help Mr. Tan exorcise ghosts right now, it would be a thousand taels of silver."
"Stop dreaming, haven't you heard? This ghost in Yuan Yuan's family is quite impressive. Many immortal Taoists have been killed by the ghost. Now Yuan Yuan is in a hurry to seek medical treatment even after posting notices in the city!"
Ji Ling'er walked to the crowd and heard everyone's comments. With a curious look on her face, she used her body skills to get through the crowd and get in front of the notice.
Ji Ling'er was very happy after reading the notice. She didn't stop, and after finding out where Mr. Tan lived, she immediately headed there.
Ji Ling'er grinned as she walked: "Hey, these one thousand taels of silver are ours. It's so fun to catch ghosts!"
Soon Ji Ling'er came outside a large-scale house. This house was very elegant, and its owner was very wealthy at first glance.
Ji Linger was not polite and walked inside.
"Who are you?" As soon as he entered the courtyard, several tall and sturdy men gathered around him. These people looked evil and looked like Lian Jiazi. They were obviously hired by the owner of the courtyard to protect the courtyard.
The standard clothes they all wore were actually made of satin. From this, we could see how rich Mr. Tan was.
Ji Ling'er naturally didn't panic. She said bluntly, "Don't your master want to hire an expert to catch ghosts? This girl is an expert!"
"You still want to catch ghosts like this? Go ahead and have fun!" the nurse who took the lead said disdainfully.
Ji Ling'er said dissatisfied: "What? Do you look down on your aunt?"
"Young ladies are so bold. You dare to come to Tan Mansion to cause trouble. Brothers, throw her out!" The head of the nursing home said as he grabbed Ji Ling'er's shoulders.
The strongest of these guards were only at the late entry level. Even if the two spirit beasts didn't take action, they were no match for Ji Ling'er, and they were all knocked to the ground very quickly.
"Tch, you dare to attack this girl, you are simply overestimating your capabilities!" Ji Ling'er looked at the nursing staff who were wailing on the ground and said with a smile. She had already withdrawn her strength, otherwise these strong men would be seriously injured even if they didn't die.
As these overestimated guards fell to the ground, more servants and guards gathered around with weapons in hand. However, following the lessons learned from the previous unlucky ones, everyone did not attack Ji Ling'er directly, but chose to surround instead. attack.
Ji Ling'er crossed her arms across her chest and looked very calm. With her skills, she was not afraid of these servants guarding the courtyard, not to mention she also had two more powerful spiritual beasts.
"Third Master!" "Third Master!"...
Someone from the back of the crowd shouted respectfully, and soon the crowd surrounding Ji Ling'er made way out of the way, and a bearded man in black clothes walked over. His demeanor was restrained but he had the air of a master. The dress and temperament are far beyond what ordinary nursing homes can compare with.
This rugged man full of Jianghu aura looked Ji Ling'er up and down, his eyes involuntarily lingering on Ji Ling'er's plump part.
Ji Linger glared at him dissatisfiedly.
Only then did the rugged man realize that he had lost his composure. He quickly looked away and said in a loud voice: "I am Yue Laosan, the guardian of the Tan Mansion. I don't know what you call the girl. What do you want to do in my Tan Mansion?"
Everyone on the side couldn't help but express surprise when they saw Yue Laosan's appearance. This third master of the Tan family was a well-known figure in the world. He was already a master of the legendary Jingjin realm. He had never been so polite to anyone. This attitude is enough to show how afraid Yue Laosan is of the young woman in front of him.
"Yue Ling, I'm here today to exorcise ghosts." Seeing Yue Laosan's polite words, Ji Ling'er didn't want to create any more complications, so she immediately made up a name to explain her purpose.
"I didn't expect that you and I are still from the same family, haha." Yue Laosan laughed boldly, and then he asked: "I wonder what sect Miss Yue comes from, and what methods she has to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts? It's not that I, Yue Laosan, don't trust the girl. , but that ghost is really powerful, and many Taoist priests have been seriously injured by the ghost."
Ji Ling'er said enigmatically: "My Yue family in Yingnan is a reclusive family. Only a few people in the world know about my Yue family. What my Yue family is good at is exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts. As for what those methods are, I cannot reveal them. !”
"It seems that Miss Yue must be confident in taking down the ghost in one fell swoop. Masters naturally have their own rules. Since you don't want to reveal it, it's okay. I also ask Miss Yue to come with me to see Mrs. Tan!" At the end of the sentence! , Yue Laosan made a gesture of invitation.
Ji Ling'er didn't panic at all. She followed Yue Laosan with a relaxed expression. The servants and guards at the side looked at her with complicated eyes, showing awe and some sympathy.
Tan Yuanwai is worthy of being called Tan Bancheng. The courtyard is very large, and the pavilions, corridors and pavilions inside are unique and elegant in shape. Countless large tracts of precious vegetation grow in the courtyard, and the scenery is very pleasant.
After walking for a long time, the two finally arrived at the main room in the backyard. The door was tightly closed and there was no movement in the house.
"Mrs. Tan, someone has come to exorcise the master and the young master from evil spirits!" Yue Laosan said respectfully.
"The door is unlocked, please bring people in!" An elderly woman's voice came from inside the house.
Upon hearing this, Yue Laosan immediately opened the door and motioned for Ji Ling'er to follow. When the two of them walked into the house, they saw a rich old woman half lying on the bed. The old woman looked haggard, and two maids stood beside her nervously, looking unattractive. Dare to breathe.
"Third son, is this the mage who came to exorcise ghosts? Why is she a woman? Even those powerful and experienced experts are helpless. What does this little girl do? My poor old man and son are haunted by evil spirits all day long. If they have any shortcomings, let's How can an old woman like me live?" The rich old woman became more and more excited as she spoke, and at the end she even picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"Madam, this Miss Yue Ling comes from a reclusive family, and what her family is good at is exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts. Since those experienced experts are no match for ghosts, why not let Miss Yue give it a try."
The old woman nodded slightly and agreed to let Ji Linger go ghost hunting.
"Madam, although I have read the notice, I still have to ask Madam to disclose the specific situation."
The old woman immediately agreed to Ji Linger and told the whole story.
Although Yue Laosan can be regarded as the guardian of the Tan Mansion, he has a special status and is not very cautious about his master. He adds words and supplements from time to time.
It turns out that a ghost appeared in Tan Mansion half a month ago, and it was entangled with Tan Yuanwai and the eldest son of Tan Mansion, who was already very old. No matter how immortal and Taoist priests were, they could not subdue the ghost.
After listening to the old woman's introduction, Ji Ling'er's face was heavy. She murmured to herself: "How can there really be a ghost in the world? Let me come and meet this guy!" Her tone was full of confidence.
