Inside Tongqing Temple and Main Hall.
"Please master, please save my family!"
Indeed, just as Pei Wende expected, Li Yanran came to Tongqing Temple for help because she encountered a problem that she could not solve on her own.
But what was different from Pei Wende's imagination was that the person Li Yanran was seeking help for this time was not herself, but her family.
"Save your family?"
Hearing this, Zen Master Lingyou immediately put down the wooden fish he was knocking and looked at Li Yanran in front of him with a puzzled expression.
Zen Master Lingyou was keenly aware of the existence of a ray of evil in the girl in front of him.
But upon closer inspection, it seemed like it was just his illusion.
"What happened to you?"
Shaking his head calmly, Zen Master Lingyou began to ask what happened.
Because if I remember correctly, the girl in front of me should not have any direct blood relatives alive?
After all, after the "Mulian Temple Incident", both Huiji and Pei Wende reviewed the entire incident to Zen Master Lingyou, and the matter about Li Yanran was naturally among them.
Li Yanran's father was killed by a tiger more than ten years ago and his identity was replaced. His biological mother also died of illness after the tiger's death.
As for the other elders of the Li family, they have either passed away long ago, or they have fallen out one after another in the past ten years.
Therefore, Li Yanran should be alone now?
"My uncle's family encountered evil spirits, so the little girl had no choice but to go up the mountain to ask the master for help."
Through Li Yanran's next explanation, Zen Master Lingyou gradually understood the entire process.
Just as Zen Master Lingyou learned before, the Li family's lineage has been passed down to Li Yanran, but there is actually no male who can pass on the lineage.
But in addition to the Li family, Li Yanran also has direct blood relatives on her mother's side, Lu Lan.
Because at the beginning, in addition to Lu Lan, the daughter who married outside, the Lu family had a powerful eldest son who inherited the family business.
In the following ten years, Lu Lan was able to support the Li family alone as a female prostitute and raise Li Yanran safely. It can be said that the support of her brother was indispensable.
Therefore, due to years of interest disputes, the relationship between the Lu and Li families has long been no longer as simple as it was when they were married.
In the eyes of outsiders, the reason why the Lu family has not completely swallowed up the Li family.
It's just because the old man of the Lu family still cares about his sister's existence and doesn't want to look so ugly.
This is indeed the case. If Li Yanran had not firmly opposed it, she would have married a collateral relative of the Lu family a few years ago.
However, this does not mean that Li Yanran and the Lu family have no family ties at all.
On the contrary, the old man of the Lu family treated his sister's daughter as his own, and would not forget to bring her a copy of any good things at home.
Even the collateral relative who originally planned to marry Li Yanran also planned to marry into the Li family.
It can be said that no matter how the old man of the Lu family looks to outsiders, he is undoubtedly a father-like existence in Li Yanran's heart.
However, for such an old man with mixed reputations, his later life was not very happy.
First, my youngest daughter ran away to become a monk for no apparent reason and had no contact with her family all year round...
Then there was his blind and disabled only son, who stubbornly wanted to marry an ordinary peasant girl, almost giving him a heart attack.
The most important thing is that neither the little daughter who became a monk nor the unlucky only son left a son and a half for the old man.
This gave the old man no chance to "delete his account and practice again", and he could only sigh all day long.
If it were only to this extent, the Lu family's master would be in misfortune at best, and he would not need his niece Li Yanran to help him vent his anger.
"So, what happened to the Lu family?"
Gently twisting the beads in his hand, Zen Master Lingyou seemed to hear something fishy in Li Yanran's words.
"It was my sister-in-law who died, and I heard that her death was very miserable."
After a slight pause, Li Yanran's expression became a little frightened and uneasy.
"I heard from them that my sister-in-law was secretly poisoned by her uncle because she couldn't give birth to a child and refused to let her eldest brother take a concubine."
"And on the seventh day after my sister-in-law died, the Lu Mansion started to be haunted."
As a relative who came to mourn, Li Yanran could be said to have personally experienced the horror of that night.
The image of the red ghost wearing blood-soaked clothes and dripping with blood has been deeply imprinted in Li Yanran's memory.
Even just recalling it was enough to arouse the extreme fear deep in her heart.
"Amitabha!"
As a qualified Buddhist monk, Zen Master Lingyou naturally saw the fear in Li Yanran's heart.
Not only that, he even saw a wisp of substantial evil energy slowly emerging from Li Yanran's body.
"Ashes to ashes to dust, why should we miss you now that we are gone."
Soon after, Zen Master Lingyou formed a demon-subduing seal with one hand.
Then he suddenly stood up with lightning speed and pressed his palm directly on Li Yanran's Tianling Cap.
tumultuous!
In an instant, the thick bloody resentment was forced to turn into a ferocious grimace, biting fiercely at Zen Master Lingyou who was very close at hand.
"How dare Yaxie An be so presumptuous!"
Seeing this, the scrawny Zen Master Lingyou suddenly widened his eyes and shouted loudly like a glaring King Kong.
"ah!"
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Li Yanran, who was the battlefield between the two, couldn't help but let out a cry.
Zen Master Lingyou, who was well prepared, immediately stretched out his other hand and quickly formed a stability seal symbolizing compassion and comfort.
At this moment, something unexpected by Zen Master Lingyou happened.
"Roar!"
Along with an angry tiger roar, another completely different ferocious energy immediately surged out of Li Yanran's body, and then transformed into the shape of a ferocious giant tiger with a white forehead and eye-catching eyes.
"Roar!"
Under the roar of this ferocious tiger-shaped demonic energy, the grimace that had just shown its ferocious look disappeared instantly.
Even Zen Master Lingyou couldn't help but stop and looked at the vicious aura that was obviously protecting Li Yanran with a look of astonishment.
"Tiger?"
Immediately aware of the source of this vicious aura, Zen Master Lingyou didn't know what expression to make.
However, under this situation, Zen Master Lingyou could be regarded as answering a previous question in his mind.
That's why Li Yanran was obviously possessed by such a vicious spirit, but her face was pale and she was not in fear of her life.
"So you've been protecting her?"
