Liaozhai Great Sage

He was riding a jade lion and sighed slightly.

It wasn't until he walked out of the village and came to the road that the villagers stopped following him.

But at this time, near the intersection, a dirty beggar boy has been waiting here for some time.

"Little pole, why are you here?" Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.

The little pole didn't speak, just pursed his lips, ran over, handed the incomparably precious bronze mirror to Li Xiuyuan, and then left without looking back.

It seems that he wants to give this thing to Li Xiuyuan.

Chapter 71 The Man Who Stands Upright

The road is long.

After Li Xiuyuan left Dahu Village with his guards and the convoy, he headed all the way to Wangchuan Mountain.

After several days of delay, it was indeed time to pick up my father from Wangchuan Mountain. After all, this is a serious business that cannot be forgotten.

"Eldest young master, what do you think this mirror is? It is so small that it can reflect people, but young master can only reflect no one."

Tieshan asked curiously, still thinking about the bronze mirror.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Who knows, maybe it's a precious magic weapon, or maybe it's just an ordinary mirror, but anyway, it's all Xiaoganzi's wish."

"By the way, did Xiaoganzi's family get any silver taels?"

"Back to the young master, the compensation has arrived, and the compensation is 50 taels more than other families. In addition, the village old man also plans to be the first to rebuild a new house for Xiaoganzi's family." A guard next to him said. , obviously he is clearer about this matter.

Li Xiuyuan nodded: "He is an orphan now, so he should pay more. I hope he can marry a wife and have children in a few years, start a family and start a business as soon as possible, and spread his branches and leaves. This is also worthy of his dead parents and family. little sister."

Having said that, he shook his head and sighed lightly.

There are so many tragedies in just one Dahu village, so how many tragedies are there in this world?

I saved a Dahu village by myself, but can I save the whole world?

I don't know, and I didn't continue to think about it.

Before I knew it, it was already evening.

At this time, a guard in front came back on horseback and said, "Master, there is a cemetery ahead, should we avoid it for a while and go around there, it will be dark soon."

"Why, are you still afraid of encountering ghosts? Go ahead and don't worry about such things. Since it's getting late, we should hurry up." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, young master." The guard responded, and continued to ride forward on a fast horse, ready to go ahead and check.

This time, the Li family escorted 9 taels of silver, and in order not to be distracted by people, they didn't even bring extra guards, but only brought two teams of more than 25 people, even including Li Xiuyuan, there were no more than [-] people.

People like this are walking outside, and they have a lot of money in their hands, so they naturally have to be careful.

After walking forward for a while, sure enough, a dark hill forest appeared in front of my eyes.

In the forest, there are shadows of old vines and dead trees. Various old graves and new ones are built inside. There are at least dozens of large and small grave mounds, and the tombstones of several grave mounds have been erected on the side of the road. There are some faded vermilion characters, on which are the tomb of the beloved wife, the tomb of the husband, etc., and so on.

While the convoy was walking, they could vaguely hear all kinds of strange calls from the mountains and forests, which made people panic.

"Master, young master, this place is not haunted, is it? Look at the tombstones are all pasted with Taoist symbols." Tieshan said nervously, pointing to a grave not far away.

But it was covered with a yellow cloth, and there were Taoist talismans drawn by Taoist priests on the yellow cloth, which seemed to suppress the things in the tomb.

"It's just being haunted by ghosts, not demons. What are you afraid of? Could ghosts still eat you?" Li Xiuyuan said lightly.

"Young master, look, look, someone was eaten, isn't there a broken leg?"

Suddenly, Tieshan pointed to a rotten human leg on the side of the road, and there were teeth marks from being bitten on it.

Li Xiuyuan still said calmly: "It's just that the dead are eaten, not the living. Don't make a fuss. It may be wild wolves and dogs. They dug up the graveyard at night and dragged the corpse out to eat. Besides, the cemetery Is it so strange to meet a few wandering ghosts? Could it be that you still expect a fairy to pop up here? You are usually quite courageous, but why did you suddenly become so timid when you came here? The black fish from before The demon is not as scared as seeing you."

"Big, young master, this is different. The black fish demon is just a big fish, how can it compare to a ghost." Tieshan said with a blushing face.

"Young master, I think Tieshan is afraid of ghosts, and trembles when ghosts are mentioned."

"Yeah, yeah, don't look at Tieshan as a tall man, but he is really not very courageous. I remember that he went to pee one night and pulled me up to go with him."

The other guards immediately joked and laughed.

Tieshan was so embarrassed when his scandal was exposed, he could only glared at the other brothers again and again.

But the other guards are not afraid, how to make a joke or how to make a big joke.

Talking and laughing, the tense and fearful atmosphere was blown away.

However, Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly, and looked between the cemeteries. He could see the shade of the trees, and there were a few shrunken shadows hiding in the cemetery mounds, waiting for an opportunity to peep here.

In the world of Liaozhai, indeed, there are ghosts everywhere.

"Master, young master, there are living people, and some living people are being eaten by ghosts." At this time, Tieshan shouted in shock and terror.

Li Xiuyuan's face darkened: "What's the matter, how can a living person be eaten by a ghost, it's so easy to meet you as a ghost who eats people."

"No, no, I'm not mistaken. People are really being eaten by ghosts. If you don't believe me, look at that quagmire over there, young master." Tieshan pointed to a yellow quagmire under the shade of trees in the cemetery.

A figure could be vaguely seen rolling inside.

"Hey, there is really one person." Li Xiuyuan let out a light sigh: "Come on, let's go and have a look."

After speaking, he immediately rode over to find out.

Soon, he brought his guards to the vicinity of the Yellow Mire.

At this time, everyone saw a man who couldn't see clearly, taking off his clothes and stacking them neatly beside him, then with his eyes closed, he was lying in the yellow mud puddle with his buttocks arched, with a look of enjoyment. As if he was having fun with some beautiful woman, he changed his posture from time to time, which made everyone stunned.

"What is he doing?"

"I don't know, but this action is a bit nasty, look at how sloppy this kid's smile is."

"I thought he was dragged into the quagmire by a ghost to be eaten, but this kid is actually doing such a thing. I'm really blind. I don't feel ashamed to do such a thing in broad daylight."

"I think he is not only not ashamed, but also very happy."

Tieshan glared. He had never seen anyone who could play like this. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he sighed; "What a man who stands up to the sky, admire, admire."

"Is that how you use the word upright?"

Li Xiuyuan gave him a strange look.

This person is standing upright, rolling in the mud, he is bewitched by ghosts, and he is still dreaming.
