Every time they passed by a place, they would ask the local well-informed people about anecdotes … Xu Qi ‘an believed that this was the most effective method besides the Dragon Qi detection method.
The hosts of the Dragon Qi were all flirtatious and demonic. They would stir up trouble in their respective occasions and show off.
However, according to the intensity of the Dragon energy, the commotion would be different. Some dragon energy could shake an entire city, while some dragon energy hosts could only become the most beautiful baby.
Moreover, it was a chaotic time, and everywhere was not peaceful. There would definitely be a lot of messy things.
“Tell me, what’s the fun?” li lingsu asked with a smile.
Miao Youfang bit on his chopsticks and casually added, ”
“According to the rules of the martial world, demons, ghosts, and monsters causing trouble are called” strange things.”The evil people of the pugilistic world robbing people was considered a “disaster.”The Squires and tyrants, the officials who raped the good families, and the oppressing of the common people were called “immoral.”
“Senior, you’re asking about the first one.”
“There’s such a thing?” Xu Qi ‘an asked in surprise.
He then glanced at li lingsu. The Saint was also surprised, indicating that this was the first time he had heard of it.
Seeing this, Miao Youfang suddenly stood up and found a sense of superiority. He shook his head and said, ”
both of you are high and mighty figures. It’s only natural that you don’t know the Proverbs and rules of the underworld.
After he finished speaking, he saw mu Nanxi shrink her body and stick close to Xu Qi ‘an, her expression a little fearful.
Xu Qi ‘an had asked “is there anything strange?”
The waiter replied,”yes!”
This meant that there had been a few incidents of demons and ghosts causing trouble in the small county recently.
Mu nanzhi was most afraid of these supernatural things. Even if she had a transcendent realm cultivator by her side, it didn’t give her any sense of security.
Under the silent gazes of the customers, the waiter first glanced at the door of the shop. Seeing that no new customers had entered the shop, he sat down next to Miao Youfang and said, ”
“It all started a month ago. There was a man named Li Gui in the county, and his wife died.
“It’s common for people to die, so there’s nothing strange about it. But who knew that on the seventh day, Li Gui heard someone knocking on the door at night. Li Gui was in a daze and asked who it was.
“The person outside the door said that it was his wife and wanted to go home to sleep. She even questioned him why he closed the door.
“Li GUI’s mind wasn’t clear at the time, so he got up to open the door. When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered that his wife was already dead, so how could she come back?
“He was so frightened that he ran back to the bed and hid in the blanket, not daring to show his face.
“Li GUI’s wife kept knocking on the door outside, asking him why he didn’t open the door. She kept asking him the same thing.
“The knocking only stopped when the rooster crowed at dawn.”
Mu nanzhi shuddered slowly. She imagined herself alone at night, and then a man came knocking on the door, claiming to be Xu Qi. an. who had been dead for seven days …
Her face turned pale.
Xu Qi ‘an did not know that he was a dead husband in mu nanzhi’s mind. He asked, ”
“What happened after that?”
The waiter said, ”
“The next day, Li Gui went to report to the authorities. The authorities thought Li Gui was lying, so they beat him up and chased him away. The next night, Li GUI’s wife came back and knocked on the door again.
this time, his wife knocked on the door for. while. Seeing that Li Gui didn’t open the door, she leaned against the window and looked into the room. She lay there for the whole night …
Mu Nanxi was so shocked that she was stunned. The little white fox in her arms almost suffocated from her hug and her legs kicked around.
Miao Youfang listened with great interest and questioned, ”
how do you know that you’ve been looking out the window all night? why do you know so much about it? ”
The waiter chuckled and said, ”
this matter isn’t over yet. After the rooster crowed, Li GUI’s wife left. Li Gui was frightened for two days and felt that he couldn’t go on like this. Anger rose from his heart, and evil grew from his guts, so …
“So he went to report it to the authorities again?” Miao Youfang interrupted.
The waiter was at a loss for words. He licked his lips and revealed an awkward but polite smile.
you really love to joke, Sir. You don’t need to be so bold to report to the officials …
Pausing for a moment, the waiter’s face turned serious and his tone was low, “”He’s calling his friends to dig a grave.”
“Did the body disappear?” mu nanzhi lowered her voice.
The waiter shook his head, ”
“That’s not it. Li Gui brought his friends and family to dig up his wife’s grave and found her lying in the coffin. The corpse had already rotted slightly.
“Everyone let out a sigh of relief and blamed Li Gui for speaking nonsense. It was not an injustice to be beaten by the government. After all, the body is still in the coffin. Could it be that she opened the coffin at night to scare people and then buried herself back in the morning?”
Mu nanzhi was no longer afraid when she heard that it was not a ghost. She threw a punch and said, ”
“This Li Gui is not a son, he’s wasting his dead wife.” (Note 1)
The waiter’s face was serious as he shook his head,
“This lady, don’t be impatient and let me finish.
“In the face of everyone’s doubts and the scene in front of him, Li Gui couldn’t help but wonder if the encounters of the past two days were his own illusion.
he was sure that he didn’t mishear or see, so he carefully observed his wife’s body. Guess what he found? ”
This waiter was quite talented at telling stories. He knew how to keep people in suspense and suspense. With his exulted appearance and hand gestures, Xu Qi ‘an felt that if he was not used to prostitution for free, he might have thrown him out with a reward.
“What did you find?”
The little white Fox’s tender voice came from mu nanzhi’s chest.
“Who’s talking?” the waiter looked around in confusion.
When his eyes were about to fall on the princess’s plump chest, Xu Qi ‘an pressed his face with his palm and turned his eyes back. He said lightly, ”
“Continue with your story.”
Mu nanzhi took the opportunity to pinch the little white Fox’s butt, warning the little fellow not to interrupt.
Otherwise, there would be another “strange thing” in the small county today.
The waiter replied in a flattering manner and continued,
“Li Gui discovered that the shoes my wife was wearing were stained with a lot of mud.
“Think about it, how can a corpse lying in a coffin be stained with mud? Unless …”
“The corpse will move on its own,” he said gloomily.
Mu nanzhi lowered her head and drank her tea to hide her fear.
If I were to tell you about “mountain village teacher” tonight, wouldn’t you be so scared that you would consummate our marriage today … Xu Qian muttered in his heart.
At this point, li lingsu and Miao Youfang had already concluded that the waiter’s story was exaggerated.
It was not half true and half false, nine false and one true.
The waiter saw the disbelief on the customers ‘faces, so he chuckled with confidence.
“Do you not believe me?
“Many of the guests didn’t believe it, but in the end, they all believed it.”
Miao Youfang, who had a lot of experience in Jianghu, raised his eyebrows.”Oh, there’s a follow-up?”
The waiter knocked on the table with his finger, like a storyteller patting a ruler, and said, ”
“After Li Gui pointed out his doubts, his friends and relatives were also afraid. They hastily buried their graves and fled home. Not long after, the news spread in the county.
“At this time, an old woman who called herself a witch came to Li GUI’s door and said that her wife would die in peace because she had offended the temple God.
“The witch said that Li GUI’s wife was disrespectful to the temple God when she was alive, which was why she suffered an unexpected disaster. She would still suffer after death and would never be able to reincarnate. It would also harm his family.
“After Li Gui heard this, he suddenly realized something and remembered something about his wife.
“When my wife was still alive, there was one time when she went back to her maternal home to visit relatives. When she returned to the city, she encountered heavy rain and hid in the Chenghuang Temple to avoid the rain.
“That City God Temple has long been abandoned. Li GUI’s wife was drenched in the rain and used a” wood ghost “in the city God Temple as firewood to burn for warmth.
“From then on, Li GUI’s wife’s health got worse and worse. After being bedridden, she would wake up from nightmares every night, saying that she saw a ghost come to take her soul. Li Gui just assumed that she was in a daze and had a nightmare.”
The waiter spoke frankly and with assurance,
“Only then did Li Gui know that his wife had offended the temple God. What should the scared witch do?
“The witch told him that he had to rebuild the statue for the little ghost and burn incense for three days. His bad luck was relieved, so Li Gui emptied his savings to rebuild the statue and also renovated the Chenghuang Temple.
“After that, his wife never came to see him again.
“Now the City God Temple is very lively. Every day there are people going to offer incense. It is said that it is very effective and will get whatever one asks for. And those who did not respect the temple God were all punished.”
“How effective is it?” li lingsu asked with a smile.
The waiter looked around and lowered his voice:
“What a coincidence. I know that boss Zheng, who runs a Rouge shop on Guanghua Street, is a devout man. Because there was also a Rouge shop opposite and it snatched his business, he went to the City God Temple to offer incense and curse the owner of the shop to die a terrible death.
in the end, the owner of the shop hung himself at home that night.
Miao Youfang’s thick eyebrows immediately rose.
Li lingsu, on the other hand, smiled without a change in her expression. how did you know? did boss Zheng tell you that himself? ”
“It really is!”
“Boss Zheng was drunk here a few days ago,” the waiter’s voice became deeper and deeper,”and he said it out of a slip of the tongue after drinking.”
Li lingsu frowned and retracted her smile. “Then why didn’t you report it to the authorities?”
The waiter asked curiously,”why should I report this to the authorities?” Let’s not talk about whether the officials like to care or not, what does this matter have to do with me? if I offend the temple God, my little life will not be saved.”
Xu Qi ‘an knocked on the table and said, ”
“Alright, go and serve the dishes.”
“Alright!”
The waiter was satisfied and left in satisfaction.
After his figure disappeared from the hall, Xu Qi ‘an muttered, ”
“This doesn’t sound like something a dragon energy host would do.”
It was too bizarre.
“Should we interfere?” li lingsu asked.
Without waiting for Xu Qi ‘an to express his opinion, Miao Youfang quickly replied, ”
“Of course we have to care. If you kill someone, you have to pay with your life. After eating, we will go to the City God Temple to take a look. Besides, I also want to see what kind of God this temple God is.”
yes. Xu Qi ‘an nodded and looked at the Saint, ” what do you think about Li GUI’s experience? ”
Li Ling knew what he was asking.
“It can’t be a vengeful spirit. The souls of mortals are weak. They’re muddleheaded before the seventh day and disappear after the seventh day, unless there’s someone who’s proficient in Dao Arts refining their souls.
“But the waiter just said that it was the corpse. I think it’s a corpse-controlling method. Why don’t we dig up the grave and do an autopsy?”
Li lingsu suddenly realized why Xu Qi ‘an was so famous in the capital. It was because he liked to meddle in other people’s business.
Just like how li Miaozhen could become a swordswoman.
In comparison, brother yang was not persistent enough in this aspect.
“What’s your purpose?” Xu Qi ‘an laughed. Spending so much effort, just to rebuild the City God Temple?”
Li lingsu was deep in thought.
After the meal, Xu Qi ‘an asked the waiter for the location of the temple and left the small county.
