Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 271
Dull, depressed, as if I can't exert my strength.

Could this be the legendary ghost press?
How is it possible, I have never been deceived by ghosts, how could I be crushed by ghosts?Li Xiuyuan suddenly woke up from his sleep.

"Master, you're awake." Du Chunhua seemed to have woken up a long time ago, her voice was shy and lazy.

"The beauty is really amazing, I feel like my whole body has been hollowed out." Li Xiuyuan looked at the roof and murmured.

It turned out that the bed was not pressed by a ghost, but by Du Chunhua for a night.

"By the way, Chunhua, what time is it now?"

Du Chunhua said shyly, "It's already time."

Si time is about nine o'clock to eleven o'clock. In ancient times, people who woke up at this time would be scolded.

Li Xiuyuan looked at her delicate face and said, "We fell asleep together last night, why did I only wake up now, but you woke up a long time ago?"

"Where does this servant know." Du Chunhua said in a soft voice.

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "No wonder the master wants me to consummate the house after I have finished my martial arts training. Before that, I can't get close to women. Now it seems that the master's words are indeed very reasonable. If I do this every night when I am practicing martial arts, just I’m afraid it’s gone by now.”

"Master, do you blame the slaves for being too profligate?" Du Chunhua looked aggrieved and sad.

"It's because I love you too much, how can I blame you." Li Xiuyuan said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, it's getting late, go back, or my father will send someone to look for me again."

"The maidservant assists the young master to change clothes."

When Li Xiuyuan took Du Chunhua out of the room, summoned the guards, and was about to leave.

When they met Liu Laogen, a passing villager, he and several other villagers seemed to have returned from their farm work, secretly gave Li Xiuyuan a thumbs up, and there was an admiration in their eyes that any man could understand.

Hey, I don't quite understand what you mean by raising your thumb.

Li Xiuyuan wanted to ask more questions, but Du Chunhua behind him blushed and tugged at the hem of his clothes, and said in an inaudible way: "Master, let's go back quickly."

"What are you doing shyly? It's not something shameful." Li Xiuyuan said.

Du Chunhua just hummed lightly, but lowered her blushing head.

"Okay, okay, seeing you like this, blushing all day long, why haven't I seen you so shy before." Li Xiuyuan smiled.

At this time, the guards also prepared their horses, and came over with their affairs.

"Young Master, you are ready and ready to go." Xing Shan, the leader, said in a deep voice.

"Let's go." Li Xiuyuan said.

When the group walked out of the village all the way, the people in Xiahe Village kept greeting him.

"How about the young master going back to the county? It's a good journey."

"The young master is easy to go, come often when you have time."

"I wish the young master to give birth to a precious son early, and have a long life. Sister Chunhua, you have to serve the young master well and give birth to a few more children for the young master."

A group of people left Xiahe Village amidst the sound of seeing them off. After this departure, I am afraid that they will rarely come here in the future.

After all, the practice here is over.

But to be honest, Li Xiuyuan was still a little emotional. He spent a lot of time here. Every day he looked at the small village below the mountain from the Taoist temple. There was nothing he didn't know about the people and things in the village.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, weddings and funerals, spring sowing and autumn harvest.

Before I knew it, it had been more than ten years.

When the group returned to the county seat and were about to return to the mansion, they saw a thin old man sitting outside the mansion.

The old man was not tall, slightly hunched over, with a cane, and his long beard hanging down to his chest. He looked at least eight or ninety years old.

He was originally a respected old birthday star, but at this moment, the old man has a swollen nose and face, messy hair, and a short part of his long beard, as if he had been severely taught a lesson.

Steward Li in the house was trying to persuade the old man to leave the whole time.

"Old man, it's not a good idea for you to sit in front of my Li's house all this time, please raise your hand, move it, and sit somewhere else, okay?"

However, the old man waved his hands full of anger: "No, no, I won't go anywhere, just sit here."

"How can you do this? There are so many people coming and going in and out of my Li residence, what if I accidentally ran into your old man?" Butler Li said again.

The old man said very forcefully: "If the old man is killed, it is his fate. I don't blame you, but the old man has to sit here and not go anywhere."

Butler Li suddenly looked embarrassed.

At this time, Li Xiuyuan and all the guards came with their horses. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help asking: "Butler Li, what happened?"

"The young master is back, and I have seen the young master." Butler Li hurried over, gave a salute, and said, "The young master went to Xiahe Village these two days, I don't know, but last night, our mansion An old man came here, young master, look, it is this old man, he just sat on the ground and refused to leave when he came here."

"Maybe he's just tired and wants to rest, so let him sit." Li Xiuyuan said.

Butler Li sighed, "Eldest Young Master, it's not about this, it's because this old man refuses to leave at all."

"Did someone in the house bump into someone else?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"No, the younger one also asked the guards to help the old man up, but it's strange that the two strong men can't help the old man." Steward Li said in a suppressed voice: "I'm afraid it's not an ordinary old man, maybe Rudao An unusually tall man."

"Oh, there is such a thing, I'll go and have a look." Li Xiuyuan said in surprise.

"Eldest young master, why do you need to bother about this matter, but the young one doesn't believe that this old man really can't help him up, so go and try him out, there are so many strange people in the world, and the young one seems to be charlatans, cheating It's our Li family's head." A strong guard patted his chest and said, and then volunteered.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a while, nodded and said: "It's good to try, even if you are a liar, you should be more polite to the old man."

"Little understands."

The guard immediately strode over, staring at the old man with a bruised nose and a swollen face, who looked like he had been beaten violently.

"Old man, it's cold on the ground. How can you sit on the ground when you're old? Let me help you up." The guard grinned and reached out to help the old man.

Li Xiuyuan was watching seriously.

In his eyes, if the old man is a cultivator, he will definitely show Taoism. If it is an ordinary old man, then try to politely send the old man away. After all, he can't just sit at the door of the mansion all the time.

"I don't need anyone to help me, let's go." The old man knocked on the ground with his crutches and scolded.

"How can this be done, old man, I will help you today." The guard grinned, but grabbed the old man's arm to help him up.

Originally, a thin, hunchbacked old man weighed only a few dozen catties at most, but when he stretched his arms, he found that the old man was surprisingly heavy, as if a huge rock had fallen on the ground, and he couldn't lift it .

Not only that, the old man didn't even shake his body.

"Okay, it's very heavy." The guard blushed and added another hand. With both hands together, he squatted down as if lifting a heavy object.

The old man knocked on the ground again and said: "I don't want you to help me, but you want to help me. What's the reason? I just sit here today and don't cause trouble to your house, so I can't let me alone Why don't you stay here quietly for a while, please get out of the way."

After finishing speaking, with a light shake of his arm, the guard was shaken away. The guard became unstable for a moment and fell to the ground.

"Haha, do you only have this strength? You can't even hold up one of the old man's arms." The old man laughed loudly when he saw the guard fell to the ground.

The guard's complexion fluctuated, and he was so ashamed that he had to retreat resentfully.

"Eldest young master, this old man is really a master. The young one can't shake him even with all his strength. It would be great if that Wu Xiang was here. It's a pity he finished the banquet yesterday and took away the young master. The armor and silver that were given to him left, otherwise he would definitely be able to move the old man." The guard said.

"Wu Xiang's strength is great, but we can't even help an old man up, let's try it with two young people." Two more guards stood up, eager to try.

It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the old man's arrogant appearance.

Seeing the two of them, the old man smiled lightly and shook his head, "The combined strength of the two of you can't help the old man, so don't waste this time, just leave now."

"How much strength you have as an old man, but we don't believe that two people can't help you up." Two guards strode over, grabbing the old man's arms from left to right.

"Work hard together."

"it is good."

Because of the lessons learned from the past, the two guards used all their strength as soon as they came up.

But just as the two guards exerted their strength, they suddenly heard two cracking sounds, as if the bones were broken, and then saw the confident and calm old man suddenly screamed, and then Lie on the ground and roll around.

"Ah. Old man's arm, old man's arm, you are so cruel, you broke my arm."

The old man looked in pain and yelled.

The two guards next to him were startled: "I, we didn't do it on purpose."

"Well, what can I do, I broke the old man's arm." Butler Li also said in shock.

"If the arm is broken, it is useless, just cut it off."

Li Xiuyuan pulled out the guard's waist knife, then strode over, ready to stab the old man.

When he just walked over with the knife, the old man who was rolling on the ground suddenly sat up, and then sat upright and said: "Why are you so rude, the old man is just joking with you, but you take it seriously. Not funny."

"Don't be afraid, old man, Wansheng was just making a joke for the old man, but the old man is not very funny, but I don't know what kind of magic the old man used just now, it is so magical." Li Xiuyuan smiled, but lost the waist knife in his hand.

"Whether spells or not, it's just the old man's ventriloquism." After the old man finished speaking, his abdomen moved, making a cracking sound, like the sound of bones breaking.

"Okay, the old man is very capable."

The onlookers passing by immediately applauded.

The old man cupped his hands with a smile and said: "Ashamed, ashamed, mere skill is not worthy of praise, everyone who has money is in the money market, and those who have no money are in the personal game."

"It's okay to give money, let's do another show." Someone shouted.

"Old man, are you a showman, or blackmail? If you don't tell the truth, I won't mess around with you." Li Xiuyuan said.

The old man said: "You are really not funny, but I have a few questions I want to ask you. If you can answer to my satisfaction, I will not sit here."

"Oh, what's the problem?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"If an old man in his seventies and eighties was severely beaten by a group of people, what should he do?" said the old man.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the bruises on his face and asked, "That old man could be you."

"Of course." The old man stroked his beard and smiled, his chin slightly raised.

"."

The corner of Li Xiuyuan's mouth twitched, it's okay, do you need to be so proud of being beaten?

He collected himself, and said just now: "If the old man is beaten by a group of people, then he should report to the government and ask for compensation, or let the government arrest the assailant and beat him twenty times."

"What if the government can't control it?" the old man asked.

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while: "Then this matter will be troublesome. If it were me, I would definitely find someone to call back. After all, this matter can't be settled like this. Zi said, why should I complain? I should report my complaint directly. It is reasonable for him to beat me. Wherever I go, I am confident."

"Your words make sense, son-in-law, now that my father-in-law has been brutally beaten, what are you waiting for, hurry up and fight back for my father-in-law." The old man grabbed Li Xiuyuan's hand and said excitedly with burning eyes.

The pleasure of revenge is shining in the eyes.

"Son-in-law? I don't know who the old man is." Li Xiuyuan was stunned, and then asked.

He hasn't married a wife yet, if it really counts as a wife, then Qingmei is.

But Qingmei is already a female ghost, and she was born in a brothel, without parents, siblings, how can there be any old man.

The old man said: "The old man's surname is Hu Minghan, and his name is Hu Han. He is Qing'e's biological father. If you want to marry Qing'e, what are you not the old man's son-in-law?"

"Qing'e's father?" Li Xiuyuan immediately opened his eyes wide, showing surprise.

Qing'e is a green fox who has practiced for 600 years. Her father must also be a fox spirit, but why, why, Hu Han looks like a human being, without the slightest bit of fox posture, and there is no fox tail exposed?

He looked left and right, and indeed he couldn't see the appearance of a fox demon at all.

Hu Han said with a smile: "Don't look at it, the old man has practiced for more than a thousand years, and he has cultivated a human body long ago, and the fox body has faded away long ago. Now the body is a human being, and the human body is the body."

That's it~!

Li Xiuyuan was stunned, he remembered what his master said before, once he completely cultivates the human body, there are two ways to go in this spirit cultivation.

One is to shed the demon body, completely transform into a human, and then use the human body to cultivate into a fairy.

The second is naturally to keep the demon body, continue to practice, and become a fairy as a spirit.

The former has a long road to becoming a fairy, but his success lies in his high achievement. After all, if he is a different kind, he will be a different kind after all.

The latter has a high level of Taoism, because he retains his demon body, he retains his Taoism mana, and his natural strength is stronger, and his road to immortality is also faster.

But no matter how you look at it, the latter is more beneficial, but when Li Xiuyuan's master talked about this, he directly pointed out that the former is the right way, and the latter is just a heretical way, which is not favored.

As for the reason, the blind man did not say.
