When Ji Qingzhu heard this, he finally spoke: "So, if you watch his actions and listen to his words, do you think he is stupid?"
"I don't know." Gu Yu thought for a while and replied: "Not only is he not stupid, but he is also a bit cunning! It's just that he just said that he was engaged, but it was weird."
"Tell me, is there a possibility that Li Huaijin really thinks that Miss Nie Mansion is still alive?" Ji Qingzhu's eyes suddenly lit up with a light.
"How... is this possible?" Gu Yu obviously felt that this matter was too strange: "How could he not know about things that have been known to everyone in Manyin and Washington for three years?"
Bi Twelve spoke at this moment: "What the shopkeeper means is that the ghost of Miss Nie Mansion has not left in the past three years? He even had a private meeting with Li Huaijin in the thatched cottage?"
"Whether it's true or not, won't you know if you go to [Huaijin Thatched Cottage]?" Ji Qingzhu made his decision.
"Are you going now?" Bi Twelve asked again.
"Do you really want Master Yang to wait for us in the outer hall all night?"
"Haha, that's a bit too much." Bi Twelve smiled: "After all, they are parents of the same family, and they are in charge of our money."
"It's good to know." Ji Qingzhu nodded.
"I understand!" Gu Yu suddenly slapped his head at this moment: "Li Huaijin caused the Zhengyang Bell to ring tonight. If he returns to the thatched cottage, he will definitely scare the snake. Does the shopkeeper not let Li Huaijin go back tonight? Does he want to make a surprise attack tomorrow night?"
"No wonder the shopkeeper wanted to take Li Huaijin back to Fushan Hall on the way!" Bi Twelve also came to his senses: "The shopkeeper is indeed very cunning!"
"What do you mean by being scheming? I'm uneducated." Ji Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and said, "My name is wisdom, courage, and foresight."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Hey, Fushan Hall should really improve its cultural literacy." Ji Qingzhu sighed: "I heard that there is a boy in Jinlin Mansion who can settle accounts. If we have a scholar, wouldn't we be able to overpower Jinlin? The other end of the house?"
"Shopkeeper, do you really think a scholar will sell coffins?"
"..." Ji Qingzhu was obviously hit in a sore spot: "Don't sell coffins? I have three capable men, one who makes paper all day long, one who only knows how to chop wood, and the remaining one is even better. He likes to smell sesame oil by nature! I If you don’t sell coffins, do you still sell rouge and gouache?”
"Hey!" The two of them ran away.
…
In the inner room.
While Li Suijiu was teaching Tong Xiaotang, he also got some information about the world from Tong Xiaotang.
According to Tong Xiaotang, there are indeed ghosts in this world, not only ghosts but also evil spirits.
Not going out after dark and guarding against ghosts knocking on your door at night are the rules of survival in this world.
In addition, Fu Shan Tang not only sells coffins, candles, yellow paper and sesame oil, but also sells paper figurines.
Of course, this information is not important and can be crossed out.
Next comes the practice.
Tong Xiaotang calls himself a "Paper Maker" and says that this is a very powerful method that one day can even make paper people bleed out and turn into living people.
Li Suijiu naturally didn't believe it.
Then, we talked about [Zhengyang Bell] again.
According to Tong Xiaotang, the Zhengyang Bell is an [ancient treasure] that guards Yinhua Mansion. With the Zhengyang Bell present, ghosts cannot enter the city to cause trouble. Even if they enter the city, their magic power will be suppressed.
It sounds really mysterious.
Tong Xiaotang’s explanation is that Zhengyang Bell carries Daxian’s [luck].
In fact, there is an ancient artifact in every city, but the style of the ancient artifact is different.
If we talk further, Tong Xiaotang will not know.
Li Suijiu could only try another way, asking what would be the [consequences] of activating the Zhengyang Bell, and how to start [cultivation]?
Tong Xiaotang said, didn't you trigger the Zhengyang Bell? Don’t you know it yourself?
In the end, I only mentioned one [Dongtian].
He also said that every cultivator will have his own cave, with different scenes inside. Different caves represent different abilities.
Later, Tong Xiaotang curiously asked about Li Suijiu.
Ask Li Suijiu if he can sense the cave sky?
He also asked Li Suijiu where he learned Taoist mantras.
He also asked Li Suijiu if he had any adventures?
Li Suijiu didn't know how to answer, so he said he was sleepy and would talk to him later when he had a chance.
This night, we talked a lot.
However, Li Suijiu felt that if he wanted to truly understand the world, relying solely on Tong Xiaotang's mouth would be too passive. He preferred to take the initiative.
I decided to go to the city tomorrow to look for some books like "Geographical Documents" or "Zhiyi Zaji" to read.
So, he went to sleep on his own.
Ignore Tong Xiaotang who is immersed in making paper figurines.
…
I don't know if I slept or not.
In a daze.
Li Suijiu found himself in a valley.
The valley is quiet and ethereal, with green curtains of white mist floating in the air, covering up to three thirds of the greenery in the valley, making it impossible to see clearly in the distance. Only a faint bluestone monument standing in front of the valley can be seen.
Listen carefully to the spring water trickling in the valley, and listen to the cool breeze blowing on your face and the chirping of birds.
This scene is too real.
Li Suijiu couldn't help but think of what he and Tong Xiaotang said about the cave sky - the scenes in the cave sky are different, and different cave heavens represent different abilities.
"Could this be my cave?"
So, I walked closer to the bluestone tablet and finally saw the words on it clearly.
Seal the Demon Valley!
Is my cave called the Demon-Sealing Valley?
Li Suijiu was surprised by this weird name, but decided to go in and have a look.
Once in the valley.
Inside, there is a really unique world.
Bright flowers bloomed under the green trees, and a winding path stretched deep into the valley, surrounded by stone houses.
Stone houses are different.
But most of the roofs are covered with golden tiles.
The whole body is made of huge stones and stone pillars that reach into the sky, and is carved with different cloud patterns and reliefs, exuding a solemn and ancient atmosphere.
A light white mist floats in the valley, like clouds and fog, giving rise to a psychedelic beauty at a glance. If the white mist were thicker, or if there was a rainbow overpass, it could be called a fairyland on earth.
However, the valley was too deep, and Li Suijiu couldn't see clearly how many stone houses there were in the valley for a while. He could only see about five or six.
Curious, I tried to walk forward along the path again.
After all, I want to take a walk first!
But after taking a few steps, I felt a strong resistance in front of the second stone house.
"Can't you get in?"
"Maybe it's because my current strength is not enough."
There was no other way, so Li Suijiu could only retreat to the door of the first stone house.
Since it is a stone house, the door is naturally a stone door.
Li Suijiu walked to the door, knocked on it with his hand, and politely asked, "Is there anyone inside?"
no respond.
Waited for another quarter of an hour.
So I tried pushing it with my hand, and found that it could be pushed away directly.
So, he pushed the door open and walked six or seven steps into the stone house. Finally, he saw a figure sitting on a stone bench.
Probably asleep.
Judging from the clothes, this person was wearing a red official uniform, a white jade belt around his waist, and a black official hat on his head. He was tall and tall, and the large official uniform seemed to be bursting.
As for appearance?
Although Li Suijiu didn't judge people by their appearance, he was really shocked by the other person's appearance.
He has a black beard, a leopard head with eyes, and a face like gold and bronze. This appearance... To put it mildly, he looks strange, but to put it bluntly, he is as ugly as a ghost!
Moreover, he is still the most evil evil spirit.
Even Tong Xiaotang's ghost Yaksha doesn't have such [temperament].
Then, Li Suijiu's eyes saw a few lines of inscriptions on the wall of the stone house, which seemed to be writing the chronicle of this person's life.
While the other person is sleeping, look at him intently.
