The best water fairy of crossing

Chapter 32

We asked a few more people, but the result was still the same, either they didn't know, or they ran away after listening.

What's going on?Seeing that Ji Baiyu's life is in danger, it is really unreasonable to be restrained by such a trivial matter now!When I was impatient, I grabbed a passerby and asked him.

Seeing my ferocious expression, the man turned pale with fright, and immediately knelt on the ground begging for mercy.I turned my head and took a peek at Xuanchi, fearing that he would blame him.But seeing that his expression was calm and he didn't have any intention of blaming him, he became more courageous.

"Where does Yuanwai Wu live?" I pulled out my long sword and shouted, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll cut off your ears." I raised my eyebrows as I spoke.

The man had probably never seen such a situation before, and he was so frightened that he froze, and said the address of the Wu Mansion incoherently.Having got the path, we went straight to East Street.

In addition to shops, this East Avenue is more of exquisitely constructed and elegantly decorated courtyards of the rich.Yuanwai Wu must be very rich, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford this kind of place.

After turning three turns, we finally arrived in front of the Wu Mansion, but what is surprising is that the Wu Mansion is deserted and the gate is closed. It doesn't look like the style that a rich family should have, and it makes people feel that it is more A somewhat eerie and depressing scene.

I looked at Xuanchi in surprise, and found that Xuanchi had a gloomy face and his brows were tightly frowned.My intuition told me that he must have discovered something unusual.

"Brother, what's wrong?" I asked suspiciously.

"This Wu residence is very dark, so be careful when you go in later." Xuanchi said.

I nodded and went to call the door.After knocking for a long time, a black object suddenly protruded from the door.I was startled, and hurriedly backed away, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a shriveled old man with a gloomy face.

"You two, who are you looking for?" The old man asked in a strange way.

I collected myself and said, "We are here to see Taoist Lingchi, is he here?"

The old man glanced at us ghostly, and said slowly: "The Taoist priest is not in the mansion at the moment. Who are you? What do you want him for?"

I told about the rescue, and the old man asked us to wait for a while before going to report to Wu.

After a while, the old man invited us in.As soon as we were about to enter the door, we saw a lame beggar dancing and singing: "Everyone says wealth is good, but we only know poverty is wonderful. Wealth and wealth force people to kill people, and the reincarnation of heaven and ghosts come. Haha, haha! Wealth is a flower in the mirror." , gold and silver pass through clouds and smoke, if you want to talk about the happiness in the world, it’s better for me!” After singing, he sat lazily under the stone lion of Wu Mansion, catching lice while looking at the old man with a playful smile.

The old man frowned unhappily, his face turned red and white with anger, and cursed fiercely: "Crazy!" After finishing speaking, he stood up and ushered us in.I glanced at the beggar with a hippie smile, and was suspicious for a while.

As soon as he entered the door, he walked through an aisle and came to the courtyard.I looked sideways at the house, and saw yellow talismans hung on the lintels of every house, and there was an altar in the front yard, and a few Taoist priests were sitting and chanting sutras.

There must be ghosts in this house!I suddenly felt chilly all over my body, and I couldn't help shivering.The old man led us into the hall, and then went into the inner hall.After a while, only soft footsteps were heard, and the old man came in accompanied by a very rich and handsome old man.I guess this is Yuanwai Wu, I thought.

After saying a few polite words, member Wu cut to the point and said, "I heard from the butler that the two of you are here to see the Taoist priest of Lingchi?" He glanced at the unconscious Ji Baiyu.

"That's right, my friend was seriously injured. I heard from an immortal that only the Taoist priest of Lingchi could save him. When I arrived at Xuanpuguan, I heard that the Taoist priest was here, so I had no choice but to come here. I really bothered outsiders." Xuanchi said.

"Where is that! This old man is always hospitable, not to mention that you are here to save people. As long as this old man can help you, please feel free to say so." Member Wu smiled with Huang Sensen showing his teeth.

"Member, can you tell Master Lingchi where he has gone and when he will be back?" I asked directly.I don't have the patience to listen to their politeness.

Wu Yuanwai paused and said: "When the Taoist priest went, he said he would return in a few days, but he didn't say the exact time. I think so. The two of you will stay in the mansion first, and we expect to hear news soon."

When the housekeeper heard that Wu Yuanwai let us stay, his face changed, and he said anxiously: "Master, but our house... I'm afraid I will neglect everyone."

Member Wu suddenly thought of something, and he cupped his hands and apologized: "Look, I'm getting confused. Now the house is not peaceful, and it's not safe for everyone to stay here. How about it, butler, take the two of you to the best inn in Yongxing If you stay here, you must ask the shopkeeper Haosheng to take care of it, and everything will be recorded in the old man's account."

"Yuanwai, what happened to your family? Why did you invite so many Taoist priests!" I was a curious baby, so I couldn't stand it for a while and asked.

Xuanchi saw that I was speaking out loud again, and gave me a reproachful look, I quickly lowered my head in embarrassment, and dared not make a sound.

Seeing my embarrassment, the outsider hurriedly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, this is not something we can hide." He said with a long sigh, "Oh, it's really unfortunate for my family. I think Wu has always been upright, but I have raised An unfilial son, who is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. The day before yesterday, he fell in love with a girl from a good family and insisted on marrying him. I disagree. Who would have thought that he would go to someone's house to marry her and force that girl to death. In a fit of anger, I He was going to be sent to the court to be dealt with by the county lord. But my wife insisted on refusing to commit suicide. Later, I had no choice but to pay the family some money to settle the matter.”

"Wu Yuanwai, don't blame me for talking too much, you are covering up, what's the difference from forcing someone to death." I blurted out without thinking.

Seeing what I said was mean, Xuan Chi snorted, I smiled embarrassedly, and immediately shut my mouth.

Wu Yuanwai patted his knee fiercely, and said sadly: "Who says it's not. This is all my fault." After finishing speaking, he calmed down for a while, and continued: "After this incident, my conscience has never been at peace. So I began to eat fast and chant Buddha, hoping that the souls of the dead would be saved, and at the same time atone for myself and that rebellious son. However, just a few days ago, there was no peace in my house. The servants at home said that they saw ghosts. Later, my wife and son They were all bewitched by evil spirits, going crazy all day long, saying that the evil spirits had come to their door. Now, alas, there are only a few days left to live."

It seems that it is really a ghost!I felt a chill down my spine when I heard this, and subconsciously leaned closer to Xuanchi.Xuanchi said that it would be more convenient to wait for Taoist Lingchi in the mansion, so we still decided to stay in the Wu manor.

In the evening, after dinner, the butler arranged a room for us and warned us not to go out for half a step at night.Seeing what he said was weird, I was taken aback, I didn't dare to live by myself, so I had to stay in Xuanchi's room.

Knowing that I was such a mess, Xuan Chi must have been scared, so he didn't say anything, and said that if I was sleepy, I could sleep on the couch.

Where can I sleep!Thinking of me as a modern person, how peaceful my life is, now that I have come to the ancient times, I am a fairy, a demon, and a ghost. I guess it will not be long before my heart will explode with a bang.

"Brother, do you think that ghost will come tonight?" I said.

Xuan Chi said calmly while wiping his sword: "Are you afraid?"

"I don't have it!" I said insincerely, "I just... I just haven't seen it, I'm just curious!"

Xuanchi smiled slightly, but did not answer.At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the room was suddenly dark.Then, a woman's cry came from outside the window, which was very touching.

"Senior Brother Xuanchi!" I called out, and immediately ran to Xuanchi's side in fright.

"This ghost is really here!" Xuanchi said lightly, "You stay here, I'll go out and have a look."

"No! I'll go with you!" I grabbed Xuanchi's sleeve and panicked.

Seeing me like this, Xuan Chi had no choice but to take me out together.We heard the cry as if it came from the front yard, bypassed the corridor, and ran straight to the front yard.

When I arrived, I saw it, my mother!The yellow paper was scratched everywhere, and the altar was overturned on the ground. The Taoist priests had disappeared for a long time. Only one servant hid and shivered by the table with stiff legs and feet.

"What happened?" Xuan Chi asked.

"Ghost...the ghost is here! Don't kill me! Help me!" the servant trembled.

As soon as the words fell, a voice calling for help came from Wu Yuanwai's bedroom.Xuanchi held the sword in his hand, and stepped closer to the room.

We went in to take a look, and saw Mr. Wu collapsed by the desk, his eyes rolled up in fright, foaming at the mouth.A seductive woman in black is stretching out her five fingers, trying to put him to death.

Xuanchi hastily threw away the long sword in his hand, only to see a flash of cold light, the female ghost had already been forced back a few steps by the long sword.

"Where did the demon come from, how dare to come to the mortal world to harm people!" Xuan Chi retracted his long sword and shouted in front of Wu Yuanwai.

"Haha..." The female ghost smiled coldly, and said, "Here comes another person who is not afraid of death. Well, that aunt will fulfill you." After finishing speaking, she felt a gust of dark wind blowing, and the female ghost had already flashed to Xuan In front of Chi, he stretched out his sharp claws and grabbed at his face.

"Take good care of Master Wu!" Xuan Chi dropped a sentence, and then crossed the long sword, only to hear a clang, and the female ghost was blocked by a strong force and flew out.

The moment the female ghost flew out, she leaned her feet on the pillar to take advantage of the momentum, and saw two long silks wrapped around Xuanchi's long sword like two water snakes.Immediately, her pretty face changed, her blue face and fangs were even terrifying.

When the two of them were fighting, I pulled Wu Yuanwai to a safe place and stood in front of him, fearing that the female ghost would attack again.At this time, seeing the female ghost showing her true colors, it was like being hit by five thunders, and she didn't recover for a long time.

Xuanchi's long sword was entangled with her, and she swung the hilt of the sword, only heard a few squeaks, and the long silk had been torn into several pieces.The female ghost was shocked, she made a feint, and then flew out.

Seeing her running away, Xuanchi got up and jumped up, raised his hands and recited the formula, drew a semicircle with his hands, and then countless white lights flew out of the courtyard.I only heard a sharp scream, I climbed to the window and saw that the female ghost was trapped by the gossip array.

"Who are you? The Wu family is exhausted, why do you want to help the tyrant!" The female ghost shouted sharply.

"God has the virtue of good life. You have already ruined the Wu family, why don't you let Master Wu go. He is wrong, but the crime does not deserve death." Xuanchi said coldly.

"It's all because of him that I can't be wronged. I died innocently, and even if I kill his whole family, I won't be relieved! Let me go and kill him!"

Xuanchi shook his head and said: "Since you are obsessed with your obsession, then don't blame me!" Then he reached out and took out the jade screen to point at the female ghost, wanting to take her in.

At this time, an old voice suddenly came from the air: "Hold on!" After saying that, there was a flash of white light, and there was already one more person in the courtyard.

Huh?I saw the man in rags, and recognized the lame beggar.

The beggar said with a smile: "Hold on, hold on!"

"What advice do you have, Your Excellency? Xuanchi said lightly.

The beggar laughed, turned to the female ghost and said, "Qinglian, I know that you have been wronged. But the evil is all planted by Mr. Wu, why are you so extreme and want to put the whole Wu family to death?"

"It's Mr. Wu who shielded Nizi and killed me in vain. With this fate, I will definitely have his whole family buried with him." The female ghost said through gritted teeth.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!" The beggar shook his head again and again, "When is the time to repay the injustice, so what do you say when you killed the servant of Wu's mansion? Didn't he die in vain?"

"I killed him, and I should pay for my life. But that was after my revenge."

"Then Mrs. Wu and Mr. Wu have been killed by you, are you really happy?"

The female ghost hesitated for a while, but did not speak.

At this time, Wu Yuanwai woke up at some point, and ran out when he heard voices talking outside.

"Miss Qinglian, it's all the old man's fault, and you have no place to redress your grievances. Don't worry, the old man will pay for your life now." After finishing speaking, he was about to bump into the stone steps.

Thanks to Xuan Chi who stopped him in time, another life would not be lost.Seeing Yuanwai Wu's appearance, the female ghost just shed tears silently, feeling mixed feelings in her heart for a while.

After a long silence, the beggar said: "Then Mr. Wu will naturally have his own consequences. However, if you make mistakes again and again, you will never be able to turn around. Are you willing to listen to me and turn around?"

"Please enlighten me, the immortal." The female ghost said slowly.

"I have found a good family for you to reincarnate, and I guarantee that you will have both good fortune and fortune in your next life. Would you like to come with me?"

The female ghost looked at the weeping Wu Yuanwai, and said, "Let the immortals decide."

"Okay! Come in!" The beggar waved the gourd, and the female ghost was taken in.

"Thank you Daxian for saving my life!" Wu Yuanwai kowtowed repeatedly.

"This matter is all caused by your kindness, do you know what to do next?" said the beggar.

"This old man must severely punish the rebellious son. From now on, we will form good relationships, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and make up for the mistakes we committed." Wu Yuanwai said solemnly.

The beggar was about to turn around when Xuanchi suddenly said: "Please stop, Taoist Master Lingchi."

Master Lingchi?I looked at the sloppy-looking guy in front of me in surprise, feeling bored in my heart.

"Haha!" The beggar laughed, "You have good eyesight." After saying that, he transformed into an old man in green robe and star crown.

Xuanchi immediately told Taoist Lingchi about Ji Baiyu's critical situation, Lingchi nodded, counted his fingers, and suddenly his face darkened. . . . . .
