Liaozhai Great Sage

At this time, the two guards who heard the ghost scream hurried over.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's okay, it's a little ghost making trouble, I killed it, you guys go to rest, by the way, help me find a few people in the city tomorrow."

"Yes, young master."

The two guards responded, but after Li Xiuyuan left, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

I didn't expect that the young master was actually killing ghosts in the middle of the night.

When Li Xiuyuan returned to his yard, he couldn't help laughing again when he thought about what happened to Zhu Yu before.

It is understandable to be confused by a female ghost.

But Zhu Yu was bewildered by a male ghost. This man and a male ghost have been lingering on the bed for several nights.

But it was enough for him to laugh. As a scandal, he still had to keep this matter in his heart and not spread it, so as not to ruin his reputation.

On the next morning, Li Xiuyuan ordered two guards to go to the city to inquire about the situation of several other scholars.

They also went to the ghost market like Zhu Yu, and Zhu Yu said that they were also bewitched by the female ghost.

Well, it's hard to say whether it's a female ghost or not, anyway, their experience is the same as Zhu Yu's.

Now that Zhu Yu has come to such a fate, he was almost sucked dry of his essence and yang energy by a male ghost. As a scholar who met by chance, Li Xiuyuan felt that it was necessary to take care of him, at least not to cause death.

"Master, why are you in such a good mood today, laughing from time to time, did you think of something interesting?"

In the study, Xiaodie, who accompanied Xiuyuan, saw Li Xiuyuan laughing, and asked curiously.

Li Xiuyuan coughed twice: "I thought of something interesting, so I couldn't help laughing."

"Talk to the servant girl." Xiaodie said coquettishly.

After staying with Li Xiuyuan for a long time, this little maid also became more and more intimate, she didn't regard herself as an outsider at all, and besides being well-behaved on weekdays, she also acted like a spoiled child to him at every turn, like a little woman.

"It's better that you don't know about this." Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled.

When Xiaodie saw her young master, she didn't say anything, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Master, Lu Bo said that the person who the Master wanted to inquire about in the morning found out." At this time, Du Chunhua came in with tea and said.

"Oh. What news did you find out?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Du Chunhua said: "Lu Bo said, the person the young master wants to inquire about has just left the city, and I don't know where he is going."

Out of town?

Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky outside the window.

It is already dusk.

Judging from this time, those scholars probably couldn't wait to go out of the city to the ghost market to find their respective female ghosts.

"I thought they would wake up, but I didn't expect that Zhu Yu was the only one who woke up early. They probably thought that the beauty they met was a human being." Li Xiuyuan shook his head and put down the book in his hand.

"You stay at home at night, I will go out for a while, maybe I will come back very late."

Du Chunhua said quietly: "Master, you have to go out again at night."

"I'm here to save people. I can't just watch some people die. You don't have to wait for me to come back at night." Li Xiuyuan laughed.

"Yes, master." Du Chunhua replied.

The ghost city was very close to the outside of the city, so it was impossible for any powerful monsters to appear, but for safety reasons, he still brought a waist knife for self-defense, and also brought two guards by his side.

just in case.

But when he went out and was about to leave the city along the main street, he suddenly saw a lot of people surrounded by a tea shop by the side of the road, and more people surrounded him one after another.

"Go and see, someone is doing magic tricks there." A young man called out to his companions to come over to watch the excitement.

Li Xiuyuan wasn't interested at first, but he glanced at it curiously, but suddenly he let out a light sigh, and couldn't help but move closer.

"It's grown, it's grown, it's really grown, it's really amazing." A friend exclaimed.

Taking advantage of his height, Li Xiuyuan saw a slovenly Taoist in tattered clothes where everyone was watching. This Taoist was holding a copper pot, which was still steaming. It should be a pot of hot water.

The scruffy Taoist watered the ground with hot water, but saw a tree bud sprouting out, and then it grew bigger and bigger. After a while, it grew into a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. The tree blossomed and bore fruit in a blink of an eye. Soon it bears fruit.

It was actually big yellow pears hanging on the tree.

The people nearby were stunned, they had never seen such a trick before.

"Haha, how does this poor pear look?" The sloppy Taoist pointed to the pear on the tree and said.

A passer-by came back to his senses and said: "The Taoist priest is good at tricks. This pear is good or not, but I don't know if I can eat it. If I can't eat it, even the best tricks are not good."

"It's easy to handle, just pick one for you to try."

The slovenly Taoist climbed up the tree, picked pears one by one and threw them into the hands of passers-by watching the excitement nearby.

These passers-by look at me, I look at you, and then boldly took a sip.

It is indeed sweet and delicious, a real pear.

"How does this pear taste?" the sloppy Taoist said with a smile.

"Good pears, sweet and delicious, thank you Taoist priest for sending the pears." Passers-by who had eaten pears praised them repeatedly.

Li Xiuyuan was also fascinated, but soon frowned slightly and said in his heart: "It's not a blindfold, it's a Taoist technique."

The deception is fake, he can see it at a glance, but the pear tree grows up, blossoms and bears fruit, but it is really in front of his eyes, which is not something that can be achieved by deception.

"This is a truly profound Taoist priest, who is many times better than the bald Taoist who cheated for incense."

Just as he was thinking, the sloppy Taoist smiled at Li Xiuyuan and threw the best and largest pineapple over.

Li Xiuyuan subconsciously took it in his hand.

"Hey, isn't this the scholar in front of Qingfengguan? Why are you watching tricks here too?" A woman holding a child next to him couldn't help but greet Li Xiuyuan enthusiastically when she saw Li Xiuyuan.

This woman is the woman Li Xiuyuan named her child in Qingfeng Temple a few days ago, and it seems to be called Zhang.

Her son, Li Xiuyuan still remembers it clearly, is called Zhang Yingjie.

"It's you? It's fate." Li Xiuyuan said.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Scholar, you came late so you don't know what's going on, but I know that the Taoist wanted to ask the pear seller next to him for a pear, but the merchant refused, and my man couldn't see it. I bought him a pear, but I didn’t expect that this Taoist would play tricks and eat a pear, then keep the pear core and bury it in the soil, and pour hot water to grow a pear tree, you said Isn't that great."
