Liaozhai Great Sage

After shouting for a while, the black-clothed old ghost was sure that Li Xiuyuan had really left, but regretted it endlessly. He wanted to reach out and pull out the arrow pinning him, but he couldn't pull it out no matter what. Touching this arrow will make your hands and feet weak.

If the pure yang energy above does not dissipate, he will not be able to shoot the arrow.

But it will probably take several days for the yang energy to dissipate.

But it will be dawn in a few hours, and when the scorching sun shines, he will feel as if thrown into a frying pan, suffering until death.

However, after being delayed by this matter for a while, Li Xiuyuan and the guards could have gone to Hua County, but now they didn't go to Hua County until the sky became light.

But there are already people living here, there are villages nearby, and there are post stations and teahouses by the roadside.

The outline of the county town can be seen in the distance.

"Stop, take a break at this teahouse and have something to eat." Li Xiuyuan said.

He is considered a person in the process of cultivation, and he is full of energy, so the guards around him can't stand it anymore.

Although it is still early, the tea shop has already opened, and the hard work of the people is sometimes unimaginable.

"It seems that there is no disaster here." Li Xiuyuan looked around while resting, and saw that the ground was dry and there were no signs of flooding.

"Young Master, this place is a hundred miles away from Guobei City, so it must not be within the scope of the disaster. From this point of view, the area affected by the disaster this time is not too large."

The guard was a little hungry, so he had tea and noodles.

"You can't think of it this way. The terrain here is high, and it's normal for the water to not reach here. The real disaster is the low-lying and downstream places." Li Xiuyuan said.

As the sky was getting brighter, people from the vicinity came to Hua County one after another. Some people would also eat some noodles, drink tea, take a break and settle down when they passed by the tea shop.

However, among these people, Li Xiuyuan also saw several batches of disaster victims.

The floods destroyed their houses, fields, and everything, and they had to flee everywhere.

At this moment, a group of strong and strong disaster victims strode towards this side, and then occupied a table carelessly.

"Xiao Er, hurry up and serve five or six bowls of noodles. If it's late, I'll tear down your dilapidated shop."

A tattered man shouted.

Seeing that this group of people were not easy to mess with, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted them, brought tea and water, and brought over boiled noodles.

This group of people ate and drank while talking loudly, they didn't know what to say, they all spoke local dialects and accents, and Li Xiuyuan couldn't understand eight out of ten sentences.

"Young master, do you want to drive these people away? They don't look like kind people." The guard was vigilant and guarded against these people.

"No, we will leave after the horses are full, and ignore them."

Li Xiuyuan gave a signal, and didn't bother to pay attention to these people, but looked bored, took out the book of life and death from his arms, and started to read it.

It's boring to check some people's lifespan and Fulu situation, such as their parents, friends, maids around them, maids and so on.

There is no limit to reading the Book of Life and Death, and anyone can read it. Since he has this opportunity, he naturally wants to check the situation of the people around him in advance.

However, at this time, after eating and drinking enough, an idler at the table next to him saw that there was still half a bowl of noodles in the bowl, and he couldn't eat any more, so he joked to his companion: "Look, do I look like this?" The woman who hanged herself."

After speaking, he hung up a noodle to form a circle. The idle man stuck his head in, rolled his eyes, then stared straight into the distance, sticking out his tongue, pretending to be a hanged ghost.

"Haha, it's a bit like it, it's a bit like it." The companion next to him smiled and patted the table.

"Hey, that woman is so stupid. It's a pity that we brothers hanged ourselves after just getting along with her once."

"Yes, yes."

"Young Master, this group of people seems to be the culprits who killed the victims yesterday."

Hearing these words, the guard immediately narrowed his eyes, and saw the idle man pretending to be a hanged ghost, he looked very much like the humiliated and hanged woman.

So there is no doubt that this group of people is the villain.

"There is no one around, it is better to end up with this group of villains. Even if they are arrested for such crimes, they will inevitably be stabbed in the government."

Another guard pressed Shen Yu and said that under the influence of Li Xiuyuan, he also became jealous, and when he encountered such a villain, he couldn't help but want to draw his sword.

Li Xiuyuan raised his head slightly and looked at the group of idlers with a cold look in his eyes.

Suddenly, he saw a small wooden sign on the neck of an idler with his name written on it.

"San Shi."

"Check it out."

Li Xiuyuan immediately looked down at the book of life and death in his hand.

At this time, after the man named Shi San finished laughing, he pushed the other idler away and said, "You are just pretending to be dead, look at me."

After finishing speaking, he got his head into the noodles again, rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue, looking like a hanged ghost.

"Haha, it's like, it's very like, much more like before." These idlers laughed again.

However, everyone laughed back, but this Shi San has maintained this appearance, motionless, his body seems to be frozen, frozen in place, his eyes are rolled up, his tongue is sticking out, and his breath is gone. .

Chapter 186

Those idle men who were laughing and beating and scolding didn't find anything wrong at first, they just laughed one by one, saying that Shi San resembled the hanged woman so much that even the previous imitator felt ashamed.

But after laughing for a while, a companion said again: "Okay, okay, Shi San, don't keep pretending, come over and have a sip of tea, we have to go on our way later."

"Yes, yes, let's go to Hua County later to see if there is any way to make a living there."

"Hey, it's time to talk about it. This time the disaster happened just right. I owed more than a dozen taels of silver before the disaster. I sold myself and couldn't afford it. Now that the whole village is flooded, I feel more at ease. .”

After these idlers called out a few words, Shi San didn't speak, and kept the posture of the hanged ghost all the time, with his eyes rolled up and his tongue sticking out, looking hideous and terrifying. Although it was broad daylight, he looked like this It makes people shudder, very scary.

"Hey, Shi San, stop pretending." The companion called again with a smile.

But this Shi San still ignored them, as if he couldn't hear what they said, he still hung there by himself, with a noodle strangled under his neck.

At this moment, the face of an idler next to him changed slightly and he said: "Shi San seems to have something wrong."

"It's true to hear you say that."

The other person also found something strange, he walked over and gently pushed Shi San; "Hey, Shi San, what's wrong with you?"

But before he finished speaking, Shi San, who was hanging there, staggered, lost his balance and fell to the ground, motionless, still maintaining the appearance of the hanged ghost.

The idle man probed his breath, and immediately shouted: "It's not good, Shi San is dead."

"What? Dead." The other companions were also shocked.
