Liaozhai Great Sage

"This is for you, it can ward off evil spirits, just in case."

Inside the sachet is a human bone, which is the golden body of Master Han Monk, which has the function of exorcising evil spirits.

"Thank you, my lord."

Zhang Yuanwai hurriedly tied the knot for his father, and then helped his tearful father get up.

Zhang Xiangui hurriedly said to his son: "Xiaoyan, she has never forgotten our Zhang family in the underworld for decades, and she also asked for a descendant for our Zhang family. I will set up a memorial tablet for Xiaoyan, and the grave mound will also be moved into the ancestral grave, so that she can enjoy sacrifices and offerings, and her name will also be written in the family tree."

"What father said is very true, my child has remembered it." Zhang Yuanwai nodded and said.

Zhang Xiangui bowed to Li Xiuyuan again: "Tonight, I have an expert to protect me. I don't know what other requests the expert has. I will try my best to fulfill it."

Li Xiuyuan said: "I don't have any other requirements, but it's dark and the visibility is not good. It would be the best to add a brazier here."

"This is the simplest thing, please wait a moment for the master."

Zhang Xiangui saluted, and then hurriedly ordered his servants to buy braziers, be sure to prepare enough charcoal, and not let the braziers go out.

However, just when the brazier was set up, I heard gusts of evil wind blowing around, rustling the trees in Zhang's mansion, and the candlelight in several nearby rooms went out one after another at this moment. The entire mansion was plunged into darkness, the darkness was as dense as ink, as if it could swallow people up, but in this darkness, only one room in the courtyard where Li Xiuyuan was was still lit by candlelight .

And in that room, Mrs. Zhang is giving birth.

"This, this is?" Zhang Xiangui, who was about to leave, was startled when he saw this scene.

It doesn't matter if there is a wind, but even the candles in the house can be blown out, how can this wind be so evil?

"Hey, hey hey."

There were bursts of strange laughter with weak voices, like the rustling of the grass and trees being blown by the wind, or like someone whispering to each other in the dark night. Through the lights here, you can faintly see many black figures walking back and forth outside the yard. From the corner of the eye, every time I glanced over, I could find one or two figures that flashed by.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like you have read it wrong.

"Yes, yes, the evil spirit is here?" Zhang Xiangui and Zhang Yuanwai's father and son turned pale from fright.

However, Li Xiuyuan was calm, sitting in front of the steps, motionless: "The two of you should go into the house, as long as you remember not to stay out of the yard, I will keep you safe."

The two left in a hurry at this moment, and walked into the brightly lit room.

Strange to say, as soon as they entered the room, they felt the wind outside and the strange laughter completely disappeared, as if everything was isolated.

At this moment, Monk Han came out from a corner of the yard. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I just ground a bone of my master's bone into gold powder and sprinkled it around the house. The Zhang family is all right, hey, what kind of ghosts are laughing so badly in that dark place? It’s like killing a pig, it’s very noisy, do you want me to save them?"

"This is a ghost, a kind of ghost that specializes in harming children. This kind of ghost can take away the child's soul just by touching the child a few times, and make the child suffer from insomnia. If the child is not treated, the child will die forever. Everyone will be crazy, and now Mrs. Zhang is giving birth, if the ghost snatches away the child's soul, the baby will be stillborn and cannot survive." Li Xiuyuan said.

"So vicious? The old man went to beat them back." Monk Han glared and said, like a vajra arhat.

Li Xiuyuan stopped him: "No need, ghosts and ghosts are just little ghosts, and they can't make a fortune. Not to mention us, even ordinary people with more yang energy guard here and ghosts and ghosts are not allowed to enter the house. The folks have guards every thirty nights." Customs, it can be seen that most people are on guard against such little ghosts."

"Since they are impotent brats, what did Gu Hua send them for?" Monk Han said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's testing me, look at the fire of the brazier in front of my eyes."

Monk Han looked along the light of the fire, but saw that the light of the fire only extended nine feet away, which was the limit, and beyond that, it was pitch black, and even the candlelight in other places in the county and the starlight in the sky could not be seen at all.

It's dark and weird.

"I have the fate of a saint. Gods and ghosts are not close, but I can only protect the distance of nine feet, so that ghosts and gods are not close to nine feet, but this is not absolute. People with advanced morals can cross this distance. It's useless, but although the monster can get close but can't cast spells, it's [-]% out of ten."

Li Xiuyuan said: "So I ask you to guard this place later, monk, as long as you don't go out of the range covered by the flames."

"So that's the case, I know it well." Monk Han nodded.

Li Xiuyuan also had to admit that the thousand-year-old ghosts were very shrewd. Whether it was the Black Mountain Monarch back then, the Wujiang Dragon King he met later, or the current Hua Gu, they all had their own methods to detect whether they were ghosts or ghosts. close range, and then use this range to find ways to deal with yourself.

And before they figure it out, these thousand-year-old ghosts will never act rashly.

Strong without being reckless, arrogant without being shrewd.

Ordinary people are indeed no match for such spirits.

Chapter 2 Nine Zombies

The night was shrouded, and it was pitch black everywhere, only this courtyard of the Zhang residence was shrouded in light.

In the dark, there are ghosts hiding in unknown corners, whispering and making strange noises, trying to scare the timid people.

However, everyone in the Zhang family had already hid in the house, and only Li Xiuyuan and Monk Han stayed outside.

And these two people are not afraid of ghosts.

Occasionally, a few ghosts tried to cross the darkness, sneaking into the yard from some unknown place, and murdering Mrs. Zhang who was giving birth in the house, but the shadows had just stepped into the firelight, and the shadows were gone. As if being scorched by the scorching sun, he screamed strangely and then quickly shrank back.

After trying several times in succession, these little ghosts realized that there was no dead corner in all directions of the yard, and all of them were enveloped by an invisible force.

It is difficult for any ghosts and gods to approach.

However, as time passed, the surrounding darkness became more and more intense.

In addition to the whispering voice, there are also fox monsters chirping in the dark, and various birds and beasts are shuttling.

It seems that with the darkness the number of things is increasing.

"If things go on like this, Aunt Hua will summon more and more ghosts, and the two of us can't keep them out." Monk Han said anxiously.

But Li Xiuyuan said: "Be patient. The person who is anxious tonight is not us, but Huagu. She is fully prepared to fight with me. If the winner is to be decided, she will fight before Mrs. Zhang gives birth. It will take too long, this Hua Gu is also a face-saving person, and she absolutely does not want to see the Zhang family have a child, which is an insult to her."

"If that's the case, why didn't the old hag appear?" Monk Han said.

"It's already here, but she's just hiding in the dark. She's already a first-class existence of ghosts and gods. How could she take action in person at the beginning? She must have summoned some subordinates to take action." Li Xiuyuan said.

At this time, as if to confirm his words, several figures slowly came out of the darkness. Their faces were darkened, their bodies were stiff, and their eyes revealed a beast-like bloodthirsty light. It made people shudder, and all of these people were holding sharp knives and axes, like executioners who killed people, and they seemed to come here to kill Li Xiuyuan.

"These are not ghosts and gods if they can come within nine feet. Monk Han, do you know these people?" Li Xiuyuan frowned suddenly.

Monk Han took a look and said, "They are not human beings, they are corpses in the mountains. They have been affected by the earth's energy and become spirits. They are all zombies."

"Zombie?"

Li Xiuyuan immediately focused his eyes.

Zombies are like ghosts and spirits, but to be precise they are neither, but since zombies can approach, it means that this thing can ignore the influence of its own breath, this is a kind of monster that can approach itself .

"But don't worry, it's hard for a zombie to become a spirit, and it's even harder to increase one's ability. No matter how powerful Aunt Hua is, she can't find a zombie that's too powerful. I can deal with it by myself." Monk Han said confidently.

After speaking, he rushed forward with the Demon Subduing Pestle.

To be on the safe side, Li Xiuyuan took out a sacrificial text from his bosom and threw it into the brazier in front of him, burning it up quickly.
