People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 8 The Li family has jasper, and the fragrant jade is gone

If Han Xiangzi hadn't killed the Painted Skin Ghost this time, the flower and plant monsters in the garden would most likely be its accomplices in the future.

At that time, it will also fall into a state of ashes.

Therefore, the rose flower demon will try to seize this opportunity and show more courtesy to Han Xiangzi, maybe she can take this opportunity to get rid of her demon body and walk on the right path.

"It turns out that Sister Qiangwei thinks so."

The rose flower demon suddenly realized.

But it raises another question:
"What if Daoist Han doesn't appreciate it?"

"Then I can't do anything, but the road is difficult, so how will you know if you don't try?"

Although the rose demon is helpless, she is still full of hope.

……

There are two workshops in Longshan County.

They are Longyangfang and Longyinfang respectively.

Among them, Longyangfang is mostly a place where merchants gather, and most of the traffic is trading, which is the most lively and prosperous.

Those who can live here are all wealthy people.

Among them, the Zhang Mansion is in Longyang Mansion.

When Han Xiangzi turned back, he didn't go to Zhang's mansion.

It's Longyangfang, the Li family of Shangheyuan.

The Li family has a good reputation in Longshan County, and some ancestors have been elected as Juren.

Today, although it has declined a bit, it is still a big door.

As soon as Han Xiangzi came to the door of Li's house, he saw that the outside of Li's house was covered with plain white banners, feeling sad and lonely.

Presumably it was not long after the funeral.

"This damn painted skin ghost..."

Han Xiangzi cursed secretly, stepped forward and knocked the black copper knocker on the door.

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door.

After a few breaths, an old servant opened the door.

The old servant was about sixty years old and was dressed in a gray shirt.

"This Taoist priest, unfortunately, you have just finished the religious affairs in the house, so you are late."

Seeing Han Xiangzi dressed as a Taoist priest, the old servant smiled apologetically at him, and was about to close the door after speaking.

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi smiled wryly in his heart.

Dare to feel that this servant came to his house for alms as if he was a wandering Taoist priest.

He stretched out his hand to block the door frame, and said Qinglang:
"The poor man came to your mansion not for alms, but for Miss Li's family."

"Miss?"

Hearing Han Xiangzi's words for the first time, the old servant suddenly had a sore nose and reddish eye circles.

"I...my lady, I went...to go a few days ago."

"Master Dao, let's go."

It seemed that it was about sad things, the old servant sighed and waved his hands.

"Old man, Pindao got advice from an immortal in his dream last night, asking me to give a piece of human skin back to the Li family in Longshan County."

Naturally, it was impossible for Han Xiangzi to leave.

He suddenly had an idea and made a nonsense.

When the old servant heard the word human skin, he was stunned and stopped crying. He quickly wiped the corners of his eyes, and the fox asked:
"The Taoist priest is serious?"

"really!"

Han Xiangzi spoke solemnly.

"Please come in, Taoist priest, I will report to the master and wife right now!"

Seeing that Han Xiangzi didn't look like a magic stick, the old servant looked excited, and immediately opened the door, very respectfully inviting Han Xiangzi in.

Following the old servant to the inner courtyard, Han Xiangzi saw the old servant shouting towards the main hall:

"master!"

"master!"

"Our family has come to the master!"

When the old servant yelled this, the whole Li family was shocked.

The maids and servants around were all stunned, looking at the old servant full of strangeness.

Now that Miss Li's family has died tragically, the atmosphere in the whole house has been gloomy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is depressing.

How dare ordinary servants make such a loud noise?

But this old servant is different!

The old servant's surname is Mo, and he grew up in Li's family since he was a child.

His status in the Li family is not low!
He used to be the schoolboy accompanying Mrs. Li in the mansion, and served three generations of the Li family.

The dead lady of the Li family was raised by Lao Mo.

Lao Mo has never married a wife in his life, so he has always regarded Miss Li as his granddaughter.

"Mober, what's the matter with you?"

In the main hall, Li Zhongping and his wife were so startled by these calls that their hearts trembled, and they hurried out.

Li Zhongping and his wife seem to be young, and they should not have reached the age of forty.

Both of them were dressed in white, their faces were bleak, and there were a few strands of newly added white hair at the temples.

A few days ago, Li Zhongping and his wife discovered that their daughter Li Huan'er was covered in human skin, lying in the boudoir dripping with blood. The death was horrible.

The two were frightened on the spot, and after reacting, they immediately went to the county government to report the case.

Li Zhongping and his wife had only this daughter under their knees, and now that the fragrance has disappeared, the two of them can be said to be distraught.

Li Taoshi washed his face with tears every day, and his eyes were almost blind from crying.

Originally, it was hoped that the county government would arrest the murderer and bring him to justice within a few days.

But for a long time, there was no progress in the case of Wangzhi County.

Gradually, women from other families also suffered from this misfortune.

At the same time, the story of the sneaky murder spread widely.

In desperation, Li Zhongping and his wife could only do something first to appease their daughter's wronged soul and sue the dead.

After the service is over, it's time for the burial.

However, Li Huaner's human skin has not been found for a long time, which also makes it impossible to talk about the date of burial.

Li Zhongping and his wife had no choice but to put the person in the coffin first, hoping that Wangzhi County could find the human skin as soon as possible.

But every time they think of the miserable death of their daughter and the inability to rest in peace after death, the couple feel extremely guilty.

"Master, the priest said he found Huan'er's human skin!"

Zeng Bo pointed to Han Xiangzi and said.

"what?!"

"Have you found Huan'er's human skin?"

"where is it?"

Li Zhongping's face changed drastically when he heard the words, he looked at Han Xiangzi firmly, and asked hastily.

Li Taoshi on the side shed tears, lowered his head and sobbed, and kept saying "God see you"...

Han Xiangzi felt uncomfortable watching it.

He comforted:

"Miss Li's human skin is on Pindao's body, so don't worry about it."

Han Xiangzi's Taoist robe is full of human skins, and it is not known which one belongs to Li Huan'er.

Only after seeing Li Huan'er's body can he find it.

"Can I show Pindao Miss Li's body?"

"Master, please follow me!"

Li Zhongping regained his composure and took Han Xiangzi to a spacious room in the backyard of the Li family.

This room is decorated as a mourning hall, and there is a coffin.

Under the coffin, there were paper ashes, and two high candles in front of the hall were burning red flames, bright and shadowy.

"Master Dao, the little girl's body is in the coffin."

Li Zhongping pointed to the coffin not far away, covering his face with tears.

Han Xiangzi nodded slightly.

He didn't go up to see Li Huan'er's body immediately, but first picked up a stick of incense beside the table, and bowed to her.

Afterwards, Han Xiangzi slowly came to the coffin.

This Li Huan'er had been dead for many days, his body was already stiff and decomposed, and his toes were almost turned into bones.

It was creepy to watch.

Fortunately, Han Xiangzi is a cultivator, and his heart is calm, and he still doesn't change his face when he glances at it.

With a flick of his finger, a slender white line flew out of Li Huan'er's body under the urging of mana.

Then the white thread burrowed into Han Xiangzi's Taoist robe like a small snake.

This scene was seen by Li Zhongping and others, and their eyes were fixed, and their faces were full of shock.
