Evil incidents occurred frequently, and Chen Mu had no good solution.
During the day, he stayed close to Jie Jia, and at night, he hid next to Zuo's house.
These two are both beings who can deal with ghosts.
At the same time, he also stepped up his proficiency in liver training techniques.
Jie Jia once said that the greatest achievement in practicing the art of form is the ability to fight against ghosts.
…
At night, a sudden scream woke up Chen Mu from his deep sleep.
The voice was full of fear, as if something extremely terrifying had happened.
Chen Mu immediately got up and ran to the window to listen.
But it was quiet outside, not even the sound of insects in the summer night.
Ghost? !
So close? !
The scream just now was not far from him.
Otherwise, you won’t hear it so clearly.
How dare Chen Mu sleep?
Get dressed and sit at the door, ready to run away at any moment.
I stayed there all night in fear.
It wasn't until daybreak that he carefully walked out of the room.
On the way to the house in the west of the city, Chen Mu met a group of Yamen soldiers.
They surrounded a small alley to block the surrounding curious people.
Chen Mu couldn't help but look over.
The alley was dark, as if a fire had burned through it.
Chen Mu's heart suddenly tightened.
He passed by here yesterday afternoon, and the alley was pretty good.
The entire alley was burned black, and the fire was not small.
But he sat there from midnight to early morning last night and saw no fire or heard any movement.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly tightened.
Could it be a ghost causing trouble?
He didn't dare to look any further and left quickly.
Before leaving, I saw the figure of the eldest son of the Zuo family in the crowd.
The other person's face was solemn, staring at the dark alley.
Chen Mu became more and more nervous.
This Young Master Zuo is so solemn. It seems that this matter must be related to evil spirits!
Didn’t it say that ghost monsters only scare people and possess them? How could he still set fire silently!
…
"There are strong and weak ghosts." Jie Jia said calmly after Tianyi Zhai in the west of the city.
Chen Mu kept slapping his mouth, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
He didn't know how to deal with ordinary ghosts, but now there was another powerful one.
"That Li County Prime Minister doesn't want to think of a solution? Now Qingshan County is also the territory of their Li family, right?!" Chen Mu said with some annoyance.
"All the direct descendants of the Li family have been sent to Nanyang Mansion." Jie Jia said calmly.
"How can he give up such a big business?" Chen Mu couldn't believe it. Are you trying to escape secretly? !
"He didn't leave on his own." Jie Jia glanced at Chen Mu and said calmly.
Chen Mu calmed down and thought thoughtfully: "This Li County Prime Minister has a guard of honor, but this guard of honor is not very safe."
Jie Jia nodded and said: "Including Zhu Yi Pavilion, he has issued rewards through hidden channels in Qingshan County to find large-scale evil-proof treasures. There is no news yet."
"Qingfengguan outside the city also has some tricks. In times of crisis, it can handle it for two days."
"Qingfeng Temple?" Chen Mu immediately remembered it in his mind.
When he first came to this world, he woke up in Qingfeng Temple.
His predecessor died inexplicably at Qingfeng Temple, which made him always stay away from Qingfeng Temple.
I didn't expect that the other party actually had a way to deal with evil spirits.
Even though Li Xian Cheng was actively responding, Chen Mu was still uneasy.
He didn't want to trust his safety to others.
"Is it safe over there in Nanyang Mansion?" Chen Mu suddenly asked.
At this moment, he had the idea of leaving Qingshan County.
"It's quite safe, but the road is not easy to walk on," Jie Jia said.
Chen Mu looked at Jie Jia in confusion.
"Nowadays, there are constant natural and man-made disasters in Daliang, bandits are everywhere in the wilderness, and there are more ghosts lurking on the road. The road is really difficult to walk." Jie Jia explained patiently.
"Can't you follow the caravan?"
Although Qingshan County is remote, there are always one or two caravans who dare to go to Nanyang Mansion for business.
"Those people may not be afraid of bandits, but they have no means to deal with the ghost monsters." Jie Jia said calmly: "You only see the caravans that have returned successfully, and you can't see those who can't come back even if you want to."
Chen Mu's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Is there no safe channel?" Chen Mu didn't believe it.
Otherwise, how could Li County Prime Minister send away the direct descendants of the family?
There is also Boss Zhen, the owner of Miaohua Studio, who also went to Nanyang Mansion.
Jie Jia didn't say anything. He rolled his eyes and glanced at Chen Mu's right sleeve.
Chen Mu's face suddenly darkened.
This old man is really eyeing his money bag again!
It's not safe on the road, but you don't have to worry as long as you find a reliable bodyguard.
Jie Jia is such a reliable bodyguard.
"Does Qingfeng Temple have a way to deal with the ghost monster?" Chen Mu asked with a pretended look of hope.
"Yes." Jie Jia said calmly.
"But you can't afford to ask them for help." Jie Jia said in a cold tone.
Chen Mu's face suddenly darkened.
Seeing that Chen Mu looked ugly, a smile flashed in Jiejia's eyes.
"Nanyang Mansion has a large-scale evil mirror, and evil spirits rarely occur. At the same time, there are several big families gathered together, and they all have ways to restrain ghosts." Jie Jia slowed down his tone and said calmly.
"Go." Jie Jia whispered in an affirmative tone: "I can guarantee that you will be delivered safely."
Chen Mu's face was solemn: "Do you think Qingfengguan still has some abilities?"
"What's wrong?" Jie Jia nodded doubtfully. Shouldn't he be asking about the price of the bodyguard?
"Then I won't go." Chen Mu nodded calmly: "You may not know that I have a very good relationship with Taoist Priest Chengyi of Qingfeng Temple. We lived in the Taoist temple for more than half a month last time."
Jie Jia: "..."
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known there was such a safe zone in Qingshan County." Chen Mu laughed.
"Thank you!"
Jie Jia's face suddenly darkened.
…
At night, next to Zuo's mansion.
Chen Mu closed the doors and windows completely.
He didn't dare to light a lamp, and made every move quietly, for fear that making too much noise would attract ghosts.
In the dark, he took out a clay pot from under the bed.
Chen Mu sat at the square table in the room, poured out a pile of broken silver copper plates from a clay pot and started counting.
He said it lightly during the day, but mainly to tease Jie Jia.
He has nothing to do with sincerity. It would be good if there is no bad relationship.
After several contacts, Niubi didn't have a good attitude toward him.
When the crisis comes, he may have to pay Jie Jia to send him away.
One hundred and fifty-six taels of silver and nine hundred and sixty-seven copper plates.
"It's not enough."
The old man's black heart has been introduced.
He wasn't sure if he could invite the other party with these.
"The Bailang Gang can't survive either." Chen Mu looked dissatisfied.
These guys are getting smarter and smarter lately. He didn't even carry a single coin on him.
Last time, his Hall Master Jia drank a gourd, and as a result, one tael of broken silver was found all over his body.
The leader of the three major hall masters of the Bailang Gang only has one tael of silver on his body. What a price!
"I happen to be selling fish tomorrow, so I want to chat with Gang Leader Zhang on the way."
As the leader of a gang, he must be richer than the hall leader, right?
…
The next day, I visited a private house in Dengjia Lane in the west of the city.
Several Bailang gang members were patrolling.
"Don't leave after the group breaks up in the afternoon. Brother will take you to Anlefang to have fun." The leader waved his hands and said grandly.
"Did something bad happen to my sister-in-law? The monthly salary paid yesterday was not taken away?" A member of the gang behind asked teasingly.
"Go, go! Why should I give her my salary?" The little boss wiped his bald head and said stiffly, holding his neck.
"Boss is tough!"
"Brother is mighty!"
"Ha ha……"
The little boss was not angry when he was teased by his subordinates. He smiled and said, "I told her that I was going to buy her rouge from Xinghuawu today."
"Brother, do you still dare to invite us to drink flower wine? You don't have money to buy rouge, so you don't have to worry about your sister-in-law scratching you!"
"Ha ha……"
"The mountain man has his own clever plan." The little boss said with a proud look on his face.
"I just said that I met that drug dealer again today and all my money was taken away. It's gone!"
All the gang members suddenly opened their mouths.
"Why didn't I think of that!" A short, fat gang member suddenly beat his head and stamped his feet with regret on his face.
"Hey!" The little boss looked proud, and his bald head couldn't help but light up a little.
The next moment, he suddenly felt dizzy. When he looked up, there were two suns in the sky.
A bad premonition suddenly came over me.
Turning around, he saw several of his men lying down in the shade of a big tree.
He had just taken two steps when he fell to the ground with a thud.
This familiar feeling...
grass!
