Liaozhai Great Sage

Li Xiuyuan pinched Du Chunhua's face; "When did you get the news? Now Lanruo Temple has been rebuilt with money from the Li family, and a mage has been invited to exorcise ghosts. It's all right now, but it's not open to the public on weekdays. That's all."

Du Chunhua blushed; "This servant really doesn't know about this."

Since Lanruo Temple was renovated, except for the original statues of Arhats and King Kong, the rest are some new statues.

There are two ghosts and gods wearing masks, white clothes and black clothes, there are ghosts and gods with bull heads and horse heads on their heads, there is also a ghost king with a hideous face, and statues of Li Zhong, Tieshan and others.

This is no longer a Buddhist temple.

More like a temple.

All kinds of grotesque gods are enshrined.

However, because the trouble with monsters in Lanruo Temple has not completely subsided, there are still few people who dare to offer incense here, and only some uninformed outsiders will come here to offer incense.

Of course, there is no danger for pilgrims to burn incense here, just like other temples.

It is estimated that it will take many years for the incense to flourish here.

Those who take care of Lanruo Temple are some elderly servants of the Li family, as well as a few elderly people who are poor in their families. After all, the Li family will also pay wages to guard Lanruo Temple here, so they can give these old people a job.

After Li Xiuyuan came to Lanruo Temple, he took two personal servant girls around, and it was a revisit of the old place.

"My lord, this place is still the same as before. The Daxiong Hall is still there, but the Buddha statue is gone. This is where the young lady and the slaves met the young master." Xiaodie was very happy, talking about the first time they met before.

"Yes, it's still the same as before." Li Xiuyuan said with emotion.

It's just the same as the building. In fact, Lanruo Temple has changed.

At this moment, he has already heard that there is a scent of incense blowing over with the breeze, and these breezes hover around, waiting like guards and soldiers.

Although he couldn't see it, Li Xiuyuan could feel that it was the ghosts and gods from Lanruo Temple.

It's just that it's daytime, and ghosts and gods can't appear.

"Meow~!"

A black cat jumped down from the roof and landed in front of Li Xiuyuan.

The black fur of this black cat does not have a trace of variegation, it is shiny and smooth, and its eyes are as black as jewels. At this moment, it is walking forward with a kind of human posture and full of spirituality.

"Isn't this Xiao Hei at home? I haven't seen him for several days, so I ran to Lanruo Temple." Du Chunhua said a little angrily.

Xiaodie also said angrily; "This cat is not familiar with raising it. Last time, I caught a little white mouse and ran around the house, and broke a lot of things. In the end, the little white mouse has not been caught. Master, I will never keep a cat again." gone."

"Whoever said cats are for catching mice, I don't expect this cat to catch mice."

Li Xiuyuan squatted down with a smile, and waved his hands: "Xiao Hei, come here."

The black cat cast a glance at Du Chunhua and Xiaodie, showing some disdain, then nimbly ran in front of Li Xiuyuan and licked his palm, with an obedient and docile look.

Li Xiuyuan picked it up, stroked its head, slid over its soft fur and said, "Have you been good lately, have you not bullied Xiaobai?"

"Meow, meow~!" The black cat squinted its eyes, enjoying Li Xiuyuan's caressing, and it didn't know what it meant when it yelled twice.

"Only the young master can hold it, and the slaves won't touch it." Xiaodie glared at the black cat.

Du Chunhua said: "I hugged her a few times before, but I stopped hugging after that."

Li Xiuyuan smiled, but didn't say much, just walked into the hall with the black cat in his arms.

The main hall was empty. The altar was originally enshrined with the golden body of the Tathagata Buddha, but because of the disturbance of the tree demon, the golden body of the Buddha was gone. Now the altar is empty, and there has been no new statue standing here. .

"Is the young master here?" A voice suddenly sounded.

But behind the altar, a powerful man in armor came out respectfully with a bit of majesty.

"It's Li Zhong, you came just in time, there are a lot of imprisoned ghosts down here, I passed by here today, some things should go back to the underworld, so I sent them here specially, now I can't open the passage between Yin and Yang , and I can’t look for you anytime and anywhere, and I will go to Yangzhou to take up my post later, so it’s safer to finish some things.”

Li Xiuyuan took out eight books of life and death from the ghost king's bag, and placed them on the altar.

It is eight books of life and death.

Li Zhong was surprised when he saw this: "What happened to the eldest young master? Why do you say such things so well?"

"It's nothing, my theocratic power is gone, and I have become an ordinary person. From now on, the underworld can only rely on you to manage it. Don't lose the book of life and death, so it can be taken care of." Li Xiuyuan only gave the book of life and death, not the judge. Pen.

Because he felt that the judge's pen should not exist.

Changing people's lives and increasing people's blessings is a violation of the common sense of reincarnation. Who can guarantee that the judge's pen will always be held in the hands of upright and kind ghosts and gods?

Li Zhong thought of the changes that happened between the heaven and the earth a few days ago, the vision of ghosts crying and gods howling in the underworld, and now he believes that it must be affected by something the young master did, but his knowledge is superficial, and he cannot understand the relationship between the heaven and the earth. It's just a big deal.

Of course, not only Li Zhong, but also many gods and immortals don't know what changes have taken place in the world.

Just waiting for the years to pass, they will naturally be able to taste what has changed in this world since that day.

"Yes, Eldest Young Master, the younger one must be strictly guarded, and the book of life and death will never be lost." Li Zhong vowed.

Li Xiuyuan said: "That's good, but there are only eight copies of the book of life and death, and there is still one book missing. It should be because the time has not come. I believe that as soon as the time comes, the nine books of life and death will be assembled again... I have a hunch It won't be long."

"Okay, that's the end of the matter, go get busy, I can't manage the affairs of the underworld as a mortal now, I can only pin my hopes on you, I hope you don't let me down."

"Don't dare to disappoint the young master, please rest assured." Li Zhong said immediately with a shudder in his heart.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and suddenly remembered something, took out a mirror from the ghost king's bag: "This is the mirror of the past, I don't need it anymore, let's put it behind the gate of ghosts from now on, and passing ghosts can see it after seeing this mirror." Knowing about my own death, the rule of sending new ghosts home to visit their relatives after seven days should be cancelled, just let them look in the mirror, so as not to burden you and give ghosts and gods a chance to make trouble."

"This is really great, the provincial ghost soldiers have to run twice to catch a ghost." Li Zhongxi said.

Li Xiuyuan thought about it, felt that there was nothing more to explain, so Li Zhong said goodbye, then took Xiaodie and Du Chunhua into the carriage and continued on the road.

When passing by the Wangchuan River, the ferryman on the river still mysteriously appeared, and sent Li Xiuyuan and others across the river.

After crossing the river and passing by a village, the black cat in his arms seemed to sense something. After calling twice, he jumped out of Li Xiuyuan's arms, jumped out of the carriage, and disappeared quickly.

"The black cat ran away again." Xiaodie was going to chase it back.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Let it go, it will appear when it should appear, don't worry, the cats I raise will not recognize their own babies no matter how long it takes."

Chapter 798 Passing

Soon, Li Xiuyuan's car arrived at Jinling City and stopped in front of an old mansion in the city.

This is Li Mansion.

But it was not Li Xiuyuan's Li Mansion, but Li Linfu's Li Mansion in the previous dynasty.

But time has changed, this mansion has been owned by Li Xiuyuan.
