Liaozhai Great Sage

"Did you miss it, this is not an ordinary rich man, he is a master who can subdue demons and eliminate demons."

"It hurts, it hurts, like being scorched by the sun."

"Let's go, we are not his opponents."

The three ghosts did not forget to communicate despite the pain, and were ready to help each other escape from here.

"You evil ghosts who are harmful to people, staying in this world is just a disaster. Today, I happened to meet them when I passed by here, so I killed you casually, and returned this place to a clean place."

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, he walked over, and with a wave of his hand, a ghost screamed and turned into a wave of Yin Qi and collapsed.

Can no longer condense the ghost body.

Seeing this, the remaining two evil spirits turned pale with fright, full of fear.

They knew that they would meet a real expert, and the ghost who had practiced for more than a hundred years was wiped out with a wave of his hand, and it would be difficult for them to escape.

"Master, we just had the idea of ​​harming others for a while, please show mercy and let us two little ghosts go." The two evil ghosts hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Xiuyuan for mercy.

"You don't need to beg me, because even if you beg me, I will not let you go. Evil is evil. If even evil can be forgiven, how can I face good in the future? You don't have to try to deceive me, so skilled The harmful moves are not practiced by occasionally harming people, they must be often harming people."

Li Xiuyuan said indifferently, not giving these two ghosts any chance to argue, he simply waved his hand.

Like waving away a cloud of thick smoke, the two evil spirits who had killed more than a dozen people immediately shook their bodies, as if being blown away by a gust of wind, and disappeared directly in front of them.

The ghost body collapsed and could no longer be condensed into a shape. In the future, it would not even have the qualifications to be reincarnated as a human or an animal. It could only be reduced to weeds, bugs, and earthworms in the mountains and fields.

The two evil spirits were dispelled, and Wang Sheng felt two screams in his ears.

It sounded like it sounded from far away, yet it sounded close to his ears. It was very weird, but when he saw Li Xiuyuan talking to the empty place in front of him, he also knew that Li Xiuyuan was reprimanding the evil spirit.

"The evil spirits have been eliminated. You can sleep safely tonight. You have to go on your way tomorrow. If you don't mind, you and I will set off together. I happen to be going to Jinling City too." Li Xiuyuan said.

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan was so calm, Wang Sheng seemed to be infected too, he calmed down and said with a wry smile: "I won't go to Jinling City for nothing. The evil ghost said that I will never be a scholar in this life. This time I want to come here too." I fell out of favor, but this is also expected. The test paper was stained with ink for some reason during the last test, resulting in missing answers. If you can pass the test, you will be a ghost .”

"The reason why I came here was because I was unwilling, and I wanted to see the list with my own eyes before I believed it."

After speaking, he looked lost again.

For him, after taking the exam for so many years, it turned out that he could only stop at a child in his life. What a blow it was.

I was very confident this time, but I didn't know that the test paper was contaminated again.

This is probably life.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't say yes, but said: "There are so many scholars in the world, and not all of them can be elected as officials. In the end, you have to return to your hometown to buy a property. Now you know your future in advance. This is a good idea." It’s a good thing, in the future, you don’t have to be obsessed with the imperial examination, you can do some other things, and you can save your parents, wives and children from worrying.”

"Mr. Li's words are very true. I have been taught. I have decided to return to my hometown tomorrow and apply for a teaching position. Although my literary talent is mediocre, I have read books for more than [-] years. I believe I will not mislead my students."

Wang Sheng gave Li Xiuyuan a salute, "Mr. Li's life-saving grace today is beyond me. If Mr. Li needs it in the future, just give me an order."

Chapter 3 Entering Jinling

"Is this Jinling City?"

At noon, everyone arrived at Jinling City.

It is already winter now, and there is a light snow in the sky, and there is a chill in the air.

But in front of Li Xiuyuan's eyes, there is a huge city full of flowers and brocades. This is the most prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times. The famous Qinhuai River stretches out to the outside. The painted boats on the river are like clouds, and there are countless singers. Even in broad daylight, you can hear bursts of vocal music coming from there. Obviously, there are many disciples from rich families looking for fun there.

Li Xiuyuan was brought to Jinling City by his father when he was young, and now he still remembers that he spent very little time in Jinling City, just wandered around, but now nearly ten years have passed.

The last time I came here, I stopped the plague god in Jinling City.

And he made a bet with the gods in the sky near the pavilion that he passed by before.

It's just that he didn't go to the city to play that time.

This time, if time permits, he plans to stay in Jinling City for a while.

"Jinling City is the key to governing the boundaries of Yangzhou." Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly. He had already dealt with trivial matters, and it was time to fight the gods in the sky.

"Jinling City is the most important city in Yangzhou. If I can take down the ghosts and gods here and control the demons and goblins here, then I can issue orders here and lay out Yangzhou. It will not be difficult to govern this state."

He managed Guo Beicheng well.

But that's just the beginning.

Yangzhou is very big, and Guobei City is just one of the cities. Its importance is much lower than that of Jinling City.

You know, this Jinling City will become the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Since ancient times, it has been said that this place has a royal atmosphere and excellent geomantic omen. As for whether it is true or not, it is not known.

But what Li Xiuyuan is sure of is that the more prosperous the city, the more powerful ghosts and gods entrenched here.

People fight for the city for the sake of the country, ghosts and gods fight for the city for incense and morality.

Because the more people pray to gods and worship Buddha in a prosperous city, the more incense can be provided for a ghost.

Therefore, there are many large and small temples in Jinling City, and there are temples of various ghosts and gods, all of which want to get a share of Jinling City.

"Since I'm here, I'll take care of the ghosts and gods in Jinling City." Li Xiuyuan's eyes flickered, and he rode a healthy horse and led four guards into the city slowly.

On an ordinary day, there was a light snowfall in the sky. This was an auspicious snowfall, and with this auspicious snowfall, the ghosts and gods in the city did not know that a human saint stepped into the city, preparing to bring a new world to this ancient and prosperous city. A whole new change.

After entering the city, there were many people on the street, so Li Xiuyuan and the guards dismounted early and led the horses on foot.

"There are more people here than in Guobei County. I thought there were more people in Guobei County. No matter how prosperous the city is, it can't compare." Wu Fei grinned and touched his bald head. snow water.

"The heritage of the thousand-year-old city is not comparable to that of Guobei County. Everyone in the world knows about Jinling City, but no one knows about Guobei County." Li Xiuyuan laughed.

Guobei County is very prosperous, but its reputation is not obvious, and its background is also poor. Although there is the Li family and a big family is entrenched there, but compared with Jinling City, he still thinks it is more than a star and a half behind.

After all, it is limited there, Guobei County is just a county.

"Young Master, look at that, look at that, there are two big snakes." Suddenly Ma Dong pointed to a craftsman by the side of the road in surprise and said.

But I saw a performer sitting by the side of the road, in front of him were two bamboo boxes, in each of these two bamboo boxes, there were two blue-colored ones, one big and one small, the big one was as thick as an arm, The body is entangled in the box, with half of the body sticking out, the small one is as thick as three fingers, and the body is slender and slender, nearly a foot in length.

Following the call of the busker, the two blues swayed in various movements, sometimes wrapped around his body, and sometimes fiddled with the beat, as if they were dancing, and sometimes devoured each other, forming a big circle.

"Okay~!"

"Good job."

The fascinated people watching nearby applauded and shouted, and from time to time they threw out copper coins as rewards.

"This is a snake charmer. He has raised these two snakes really well." Li Xiuyuan smiled, but he saw that the eyes of the two green snakes already had a look of wisdom.
