Shi Xuan's previous incarnations, Du Bai and Xu Tianqi, were classmates for eight years and had a good relationship with each other. However, Xu Tianqi went on a wandering career and did not see each other again. It was not until Xu Laodao passed away and the Xu family held a funeral that Du Bai met again. To Xu Tianqi. We haven’t seen each other for almost a year since then.
Because Shi Xuan had obtained the true inheritance of Xu Laotao, the Xu family was familiar with it, and knew that Taoism was magical, so they did not come to cause trouble when Shi Xuan declined their invitation after the funeral, but they also maintained a nonchalant attitude. An attitude of indifference.
"Senior Brother Xu, long time no see, how are you all?" Although Shi Xuan was surprised, he quickly calmed down.
Xu Tianqi was a little embarrassed, but he quickly covered it up and said with a smile: "Junior brother Du, I have been hanging out in the world these years, and I have very few days at home, but you have been practicing behind closed doors. I want to come It’s going to be a big improvement.”
Shi Xuan saw that Xu Tianqi seemed to have something wrong, so he said, "Senior Brother Xu, if you don't mind, go inside and drink some tea."
Xu Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm very happy."
The two entered the small courtyard. Because Xu Tianqi was a relatively familiar person and knew the place very well, Shi Xuan took him to sit down at the stone table in the corner of the small courtyard, and then went into the kitchen to make a drink. The pot of tea was returned.
After serving tea to each of them, Shi Xuan smiled and said: "Senior Brother Xu has such a great reputation in the world. I, a little Taoist priest who never leaves home and doesn't hear anything outside the window, have heard about it."
"No, no, it's just a favor given by friends in the world." Although Xu Tianqi said polite words, the proud expression on his face did not restrain at all.
"How could it be? In the restaurant, I can often hear Senior Brother Xu's feat of chasing down 'Pink Swallow' for two days and two nights, and finally killing this silver thief."
As if being scratched, Xu Tianqi suddenly became excited and told the story again that Shi Xuan had heard several times, but it had a different flavor when told from the perspective of a person at the time.
Shi Xuan deliberately led the conversation, and the two of them talked lively about Xu Tianqi's career in the world. When Xu Tianqi returned to Xia'an Mansion and had several guests, Xu Tianqi appeared outside the door again. Shi Xuan looked slightly embarrassed and hesitated for a long time. Seeing that Shi Xuan was just smiling and drinking tea, he had no choice but to speak out.
"Junior Brother Du, Brother Yu came here to ask for something, and I will repay you well after the thing is accomplished."
Shi Xuan smiled and said: "Oh, what you can't do, Senior Brother Xu, how can I, a little Taoist priest, do it."
Xu Tianqi smiled apologetically: "Junior Brother Du, you have learned great skills from your ancestors, and this matter is just right for you." Then before Shi Xuan could answer, he continued: "I will go home this time, and I will accompany you. There are also a few friends in the martial arts world. How did I know that after I came back, the annoying guy from the Xia family in the north of the city found out about it. He came to visit Yu Qiong all day long and often provoked me. Junior Brother Du, you don’t know, that Xia Wenhui is really real. It’s really disgusting. If our two families weren’t from the same building, and we conspired to do some business together in private, and the clan members prohibited us from fighting each other, I would have given him a lesson.”
The Xia family is the original tycoon of Xia'an Mansion. It is the influence of Xiaoyulou, a famous gang in Jiangnan and Huainan. After producing top masters (masters who achieved the acquired great Zhoutian), they gradually declined. After the Xu family became famous in the world, they quickly joined the Xiaoyu Tower, because the Xu family has many first-class masters, and the Xiaoyu Tower also He attached great importance to it and handed over the private salt business in this area to the Xia family and the Xu family for cooperation.
After taking a sip of tea, I took a breath and saw that Shi Xuan kept smiling and listening, and then continued: "But in the past few days, that **** Xia Wenhui actually planned to provoke me, and then beat me while I was excited. In a bet, whoever loses will say to the other party three times in front of Yu Qiong, "I was wrong, I am not a human being." He will also give the other party a thousand taels of silver in private. I lost face in front of Qiong, hey."
Shi Xuan, who has been troubled by money recently, was a little moved when he heard the bet of one thousand taels of silver, but it was just a heartbeat, and his reason was still there, so he motioned to Xu Tianqi to continue, and it would not be too late to make an evaluation after listening.
"Our bet this time is to go to the haunted house in Qupeihe in the north of the city in three days. Each person will take two people with him and spend the night there. Whoever is scared and runs out of the house first will lose. Junior Brother Du, I know that your Taoism is magical and you are the best at dealing with such ghosts. Moreover, the ghosts in this house never hurt people. They usually just scare people out of the house. At most, they will faint and throw them out. , regardless of whether I win or not, I will give you a reward of five hundred taels of silver after this incident."
"Uh, Senior Brother Xu, when did it start to spread that there was a ghost there? There are usually some rumors." Shi Xuan was a little excited when he heard that there was a ghost. This was the first time in his two lives that he might have seen a ghost. , although I know that after embarking on the path of cultivation, I should be able to hear and see ghosts, monsters, and demons more often in the future, but after all, it is very new now. Xu Laodao's education to Du Bai has always been based on cultivation. Eliminating ghosts and killing evil spirits is just a trivial matter, so he has never taken Du Bai to actually get rid of ghosts.
Of course, excitement is excitement. You still need to find out all the rumors about this ghost, so that you can more accurately analyze its strength, lest you get rid of the ghost in excitement, but get eliminated by the ghost instead, and the joke will be big. .
Xu Tianqi was very happy to see that Shi Xuan had a tendency to agree, and immediately replied: "Most of that house was burned down in a fire thirteen years ago. It is said that many people were burned to death because there were too many people. Because of this, no one has been willing to buy this land to rebuild the house. Seven years ago, after things gradually calmed down, a wealthy businessman from Zhoucheng bought the land and the land next to it to build a big house, but after the repairs were completed, he moved. It started to be haunted within a few days after entering. Several famous monks and Taoists were invited, but none of them could drive the ghost away. Instead, it became more and more serious. People from wealthy merchants were often frightened and fainted in the middle of the night, and then fell asleep the next day. The wealthy businessman had no choice but to move to other places. Then several owners of this big house were frightened and they all moved away. Gradually, the name of this house spread, and no one dared to do so. I bought it and it has been abandoned there ever since.”
After a pause, he continued: "In recent years, some beggars or some brave people have lived in it, but without exception, they were either scared away or fainted and thrown out. Anyway, I have never heard of this. Who has been killed by ghosts?"
Shi Xuan judged from the age that this ghost was probably between the soul-nurturing period and the soul-strengthening period, because first of all, there was no sacrifice for this ghost, otherwise it would not be possible to scare people, and secondly, it had never harmed anyone, so it was not yet The need for blood food shows that the cultivation level is only to the point where one can simply absorb some yang energy. So probably there are some places near the Qupei River that have formed a place of Yin Qi. When they encounter the obsession of burning people to death, they become Yin Qi. However, this is a city with strong popularity, so it is not considered a place of Yin Qi. With good quality, the ghosts formed will not have such an incredible growth rate.
This is just a preliminary inference. Shi Xuan then asked Xu Tianqi some indirect questions, mainly to determine whether the ghost's obsession was strong or weak, whether it was a ferocious obsession or a benevolent obsession. Finally, Shi Xuan asked Xu Tianqi Said: "Senior Brother Xu, this matter happened suddenly, I still need to think about it." Seeing what Xu Tianqi was about to say, he hurriedly signaled not to say more, "Well, at this time tomorrow, I will definitely give you an answer, even if I don't go , I will also give you some talismans to prepare you for trouble."
Seeing Shi Xuan's insistence, Xu Tianqi couldn't force anything, so he had to make an appointment tomorrow, say goodbye and go home. Shi Xuan tidied up and went out.
Shi Xuan spent this afternoon going to various places in the city where there was a lot of news, and he also asked the neighbors. He was able to basically confirm what Xu Tianqi said about the ghost, and then he felt relieved. In the evening, I controlled my mood and finished my practice. After checking the condition of the talisman on my body, I went straight to the place where Qupei River curves in the north of the city. I took a real-life look at the environment around the house. Then I used the talisman to open my eyes and see. After looking at the flow of Yin Qi, it is indeed as I judged that it is of poor quality.
However, Shi Xuan did not enter the house. After all, he decided to accompany Xu Tianqi now, so there would be no difference between going now and going later.
As soon as noon arrived on the second day, Xu Tianqi couldn't wait to come to the door. Shi Xuan didn't put on airs and gave a direct answer in the affirmative. Xu Tianqi was overjoyed and sent him two hundred taels of silver after returning that day to show that he was absolutely Keep your promise and say that no matter you win or lose, your money will not be less.
After Shi Xuan received the money, he did some calculations. It seemed that even if he didn’t sell the yard, the money he needed for his cultivation at this stage would be enough. But in the future, the yard would be empty when he went out, so he would definitely have to sell it, but he would I have more money to wait for a better price.
And according to Xu Laodao's experience, even if the meridians all over the body are connected to achieve the acquired Great Zhoutian, a large amount of food is still needed to replenish the essence every day. Even in the out-of-body period of the soul, it is not possible to achieve the true meaning of inedia. It is just a comparison. The endurance time that ordinary people can endure is more than ten times longer, and they can go without food for about half a year, unless they have reached the qi-entraining stage. Therefore, although you can hunt game to replenish your energy when traveling in the future, it is best to have some money with you for emergencies.
