Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 17 The evil ghost shows off his evil ways
Finish the plan.

Gentleman Wu asked Manager Fang to call his servants and wanted his servants to accompany Chen Yun, Lin Chen and others.

Soon, a dozen servants came in from outside.

Chen Yun took a look and found that these servants were young and strong. It seems that Mr. Wu was also afraid of getting into a lawsuit if something happened, so he wanted to send some of the best members of his family.

It was precisely because of this move that Chen Yun became more certain that the evil ghost in the other courtyard was extraordinary.

However, Lin Chen seemed very indifferent because of the Zhong Kui Talisman, and he didn't seem to be afraid at all.

This is the case with Zhang Qian and Li Siju.

Mr. Wu said to the servants: "Wu Lu, you and some Taoist masters are going to drive away ghosts."

A short and thin young man in the crowd said with a pale face: "No, I have a stomachache and can't go. Master, please send someone else."

Gentleman Wu was a little unhappy, but not all the servants were cheap slaves, some were hired. He couldn't force it, so he had to say to another young servant: "Wu You, you go."

The dark-skinned young man waved his hands repeatedly, "No, my eyes are not good and I can't see at night."

Chen Yun has lived two lifetimes, and I can't say that he is very thoughtful, but he still has some ability to observe words and emotions.

He immediately judged from the reactions of the two servants that the evil ghost in the other courtyard must be very powerful, so powerful that it makes people scared.

Chen Yun couldn't help but become cautious.

Seeing that many of the servants were unwilling to go, Mr. Wu frowned and said, "If anyone goes to exorcise ghosts with Master Dao, and they don't go for nothing, I will give them five taels of silver per night. We have agreed in advance that it only takes two people."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Lu immediately said: "I'm going! I'm going!"

Mr. Wu said speechlessly: "Don't you have a stomachache?"

Wu Lu said nonsense: "I feel better now."

Mr. Wu was too lazy to answer and said to everyone, "Who else is going?"

Wu You said eagerly: "I am willing to go."

Mr. Wu teased, "Can't you see at night?"

Wu You chuckled and said, "No, the master didn't understand. I can't see in the dark, but I can see with a lantern."

Mr. Wu scolded: "Did you two hear that all your illnesses were cured with money? You bastards!"

Wu Lu and Wu You didn't answer either.

Chen Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since some people were willing to go there even with a big reward, I guess the evil ghost wasn't that scary.

The escort has been assembled.

Mr. Wu looked at Lin Chen and said, "Whatever Mr. Lin wants to use, I will ask my servants to prepare it."

Lin Chen said rather arrogantly: "No, no need. Didn't I just tell you, gentleman, that I have the Zhong Kui Talisman and am not afraid of ghosts?"

Gentleman Wu didn't know what to say when he saw Lin Chen swearing so firmly. He just asked Manager Fang to lead Wu Lu and Wu You to accompany Chen Yun, Lin Chen and others.

Manager Fang, Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and Li Si walked in front.

Chen Yun, however, deliberately stayed a few steps behind and chatted with Wu Lu and Wu You intentionally or unintentionally to get information.

Although the Wu family is only one or two miles away from the other courtyard, in such a short period of time, Chen Yun has roughly understood the situation from Wu Lu and Wu You.

The first is the layout of the courtyard.

The other courtyard is divided into three courtyards.

The first courtyard you enter is the narrow courtyard in front of the Hanging Flower Gate, which is occupied by an inverted-seat house.

The second entrance courtyard is composed of a wing room, a main room and a verandah.

The third entrance into the courtyard is the back room behind the main house.

When the second son of the Wu family was alive, he lived in the east wing of the second courtyard.

The north house is where Mr. Wu lives occasionally.

In other words, the second son of the Wu family does not live in the upper room.

This is the first important message.

The second piece of information was that Chen Yun learned that no one from the Wu family had visited the other courtyard for three months.

In other words, the information mentioned by the Wu family was still from three months ago.

Chen Yun thought to himself: "It took three months for a ghost to become a ghost. If according to my initial guess, the evil ghost is 'upgrading', then this time it must be more dangerous."

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but fall back a few positions.

As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist.

Chen Yun didn't want to charge into the battle and end up dead on the spot.

At this time, the steward in front was also chatting with Lin Chen.

Manager Fang asked with a curious look on his face: "Xian Zhang Lin, did you just say that the Zhong Kui Talisman can really subdue that evil spirit?"

Hearing this, Chen Yun pricked up his ears.

He really wanted to know what the Zhong Kui Talisman did to make Lin Chen so "arrogant".

It's a pity that Lin Chen smiled and said nothing.

Chen Yun thought he had no way of knowing.

Who would have thought that Zhang Gan took over the conversation with a smile: "Manager Fang, you don't know something. My junior brother Lin, this Zhongkui Talisman was hard-won. It was drawn by Cai Rujin, my senior brother from Chuandao Temple. This Talisman not only has mysterious and powerful It can ward off evil spirits, eliminate disasters, cure illnesses, protect the family, and enhance wealth. If lit, the Zhong Kui Talisman can also summon the sacred image of Zhong Kui to kill demons and monsters in one fell swoop."

Huh?
Is Zhong Kui's Talisman so powerful?
Chen Yun suddenly recalled the information about Zhong Kui.

It is said that Zhong Kui is a Taoist deity who specializes in fighting ghosts and exorcising evil spirits.

He is not only the door god who suppresses ghosts and evil spirits, wards off disasters and dispels evil spirits, but he is also the judge who controls ghosts and slays demons.If lighting the Zhong Kui Talisman can summon the Holy Elephant of Zhong Kui, it seems that dealing with a mere ghost is indeed a piece of cake.

Chen Yun relaxed a little.

However, out of caution, he still stayed a few steps behind everyone.

……

Chatting.

Everyone came to the Xicheng Villa.

This place is the luxury area in the center of Xigou City, with many compounds built around it.

Chen Yun keenly observed that many nearby courtyards were brightly lit, but the courtyards on both sides of the courtyard in front of him were completely dark.

Fortunately, the moonlight was bright at this time, and he could vaguely see the layout of the other courtyard, which was exactly what Wu Lu and Wu You said.

This villa covers an area of ​​about one acre. Based on the current price of [-] square meters in Xigou City, which is about [-] guan, the value of this villa should be around [-] guan.

Always money is equal to one tael of silver.

One thousand four hundred guan is equivalent to one thousand, four hundred taels of silver, or 400 taels of gold.

Of course, it makes sense for Mr. Wu to spend ten taels of gold to drive away ghosts.

Chen Yun could vaguely guess that Mr. Wu was willing to spend a lot of money to exorcise ghosts, not just because the house was valuable.

This kind of wealthy gentleman who owns many luxury houses can afford to lose more than 1000 taels of silver.

Chen Yun estimated that Mr. Wu spent a lot of money to exorcise ghosts, and the reason was that it was the residence of his beloved son, and he wanted to visit it from time to time.

What's more important is that a wealthy family wants to have face. If the haunting is not solved, others may think that Mr. Wu's family has done something outrageous, and they will be stabbed in the back.

This should be the reason why Mr. Wu is willing to spend ten taels of gold to drive away ghosts.

Ten taels of gold is equivalent to 100 taels of silver. Chen Yun's previous family may not have been able to earn so much in ten years.

He couldn't help but secretly sigh, as expected, no matter which world, the gap between rich and poor is very huge.

Lin Chen, who was walking in front, said: "Manager Fang, open the door."

Manager Fang took the key from his waist and said, "Okay, Immortal Lin."

After saying this, he stepped forward to unlock the door.

With a click, the long lock was opened.

Then, Manager Fang took off the lock and pushed the door open from the outside.

The red lacquer door here has just been pushed open.

Suddenly, a dark wind blew up from inside.

This sinister wind is extremely evil.

Chen Yun was obviously standing far behind everyone, but he couldn't help but tremble all over when he was blown by this dark wind.

This kind of "cold" is different from the harshness of ice and snow in winter.

It's like pulling out a person's soul and throwing it into an ice cellar, making people tremble physically and mentally.

Chen Yun had a premonition that something was wrong, so he deliberately stood far away and did not move forward.

Lin Chen, Zhang Qian and others did not take it seriously.

Lin Chen teased and said, "Looking at Yin Feng's posture, this evil ghost seems to have some skills. Let's see how I can use the Zhong Kui Talisman to cure it."

When Lin Chen spoke, Chen Yun had not noticed anything unusual.

However, what happened next made Chen Yun's hair stand on end.

As he said that, Lin Chen stood still and didn't see any movement. He just shouted softly, "Bring me the fire discount!"

Manager Fang also remained motionless, "Xianzhang Lin, I'll give you the fire certificate."

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, you said you should give Lin Chen the Huozhezi, but why are you standing motionless?
He was a little puzzled.

Suddenly, Zhang Qian laughed loudly, "Oh, this Zhongkui Talisman is really extraordinary. Once it is lit, it shines with divine light, and the evil ghost that shines it shines screaming again and again."

Li Sidao: "Senior Brother Cai Rujin has great magic power. The talismans he drew with his own hands are simply a waste to deal with a mere evil ghost. In my opinion, this evil ghost will fall if he persists for only a moment at most."

what?
Is the Zhongkui Talisman lit?

Still emitting a dazzling divine light?

Chen Yunxin asked why I didn’t see it.

He already had a premonition that something was wrong, these people seemed to be onto something!

As expected, Wu Lu suddenly said, "Oh my dear mother, what a holy elephant of Zhong Kui. That fierce ghost was killed by Zhong Kui's sword in one go. It's amazing, Immortal Lin, you are so amazing."

Wu You also gasped, "Awesome! Lin Xianchang is so awesome!"

These people were also motionless, as if they were talking to the air.

Chen Yun could clearly see the crazy faces of the people in front of him, as if they had seen something strange.

Who are you talking to on horseback?

Of course Chen Yun knew why these people were talking to the air. Not surprisingly, they must have been confused by the ghost.

He couldn't help but feel chills running down his back. He finally realized that this evil ghost was so powerful that he managed to confuse five or six people in front of him without making any sound.

But Chen Yun was a little confused, why didn't he do anything except shivering from the cold wind at first?

Is it relatively far from the door, or is it for some other reason?
