Liaozhai Great Sage

His name has been mentioned by King Yangzijiang.

It is a very powerful evil spirit, to be exact, a water ghost. In the eyes of King Yangzijiang, this ghost foreman is already far away from him, and he is more fearful.

"Young master, this ghost foreman is just some ghost stories circulating in the capital, so don't take it to heart." The escort said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Then you should know something too? Why don't you tell me about it."

"Young master, let's talk about those who are interested." The head of the escort has been in the capital since he was a child, and he has heard a lot of local ghosts and ghosts in the capital.

He sorted out his thoughts and said: "Speaking of the ghost foreman, I don't know when the story began to spread, I only know that the ghost foreman was a laborer at the ferry in the capital when he was alive, and he was responsible for moving goods and earning money for his hard work. money, but you also know, young master, that it is dangerous to carry goods on and off the cargo ship at the ferry."

"If you are not careful, you will fall into the water with people and goods. Most people are lucky and get up quickly, but there are always some unlucky ghosts who fall into the river and sink with people and goods, drowning in the river. into the middle of the river."

"However, many people drown at this ferry every year. Over the years, there are many people who drown. Some people think that there is something evil in the water, and they need to build a temple next to the ferry to ask the gods to suppress it. Later, someone transported it from the south of the Yangtze River. A god statue, a god was invited to stand in the repaired temple next to the ferry."

"It was the ghost foreman who was in charge of carrying the statue. Who knew that the plank broke, and the ghost foreman, the statue, and other people who carried the statue all fell into the river."

"It's strange to say that after five or six people fell into the river, everyone else got up. Only the ghost foreman and the god statue sank into the river and never got up again. After those seven days, many people at the ferry crossed the river. In a dream, I dreamed that the ghost foreman was wearing fairy clothes, standing on the river, and told everyone. He became the god of this ferry, and as long as he is enshrined every year, peace can be maintained forever."

"Later, if someone really enshrined the ghost foreman, it is said that no one fell into the water and died since then. The story is roughly the same, but because of the age, no one continued to enshrine the ghost foreman. Lifu, on the other hand, believes that the ghost foreman will protect their safety."

Darthead said.

Chapter 643

There are countless ghost legends like the ghost foreman in the folk, and they happen everywhere.

But Li Xiuyuan, the other ghost professor, needn't take it to heart, but he should pay attention to the name of this ghost foreman, because this name was mentioned by King Yangzijiang.

King Yangzijiang is a thousand-year-old demon who has been successful in practice and has been enlightened for many years. If he hadn't been unlucky enough to be injured by Lei Gong, he would still be a water god now. It is natural for such a demon to be haunted and fearful by ghosts.

"So, Li Fu at the ferry also believes in the ghost foreman?" Li Xiuyuan said.

The head of the escort replied: "Yes, young master, the Lifus here believe in the ghost foreman very much, and I heard that some Lifus are dreamed by the ghost foreman, and they occasionally worship the ghost foreman. Know."

"Wutongjiao, Ghost Foreman... Interesting." Li Xiuyuan looked at the bustling canal and his eyes moved slightly.

So it seems that there is one more potential hidden danger in the capital.

This ghost foreman is definitely not as simple as an ordinary ghost.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Can you go and buy that painting boat?"

"Back to young master, of course you can, this painting boat was leased by that Wannv, and you can buy it through the dental shop." The escort said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Then go and buy this boat, burn it immediately after buying it, and let the boat sink to the bottom of the river."

Han Meng said: "Master, isn't it a waste to buy and burn a good boat?"

"It's a bit wasteful, but you just do it, there is no need to doubt." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, Eldest Young Master, I know what to do now." The head of the escort immediately responded, and immediately went to contact the dental shop to buy the painting boat.

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said: "Let's go to other places for a walk. I heard that there is a very famous temple in the capital called Xiangguo Temple. I really should go and see it, but I'm afraid it won't work today. It's getting late. Let's take a walk around." Go back after the lap."

He left the ferry with several people.

And it was less than an hour after he left.

The painting boat changed hands, and at the same time a fire was ignited.

The empty painting boat burned into a pile of charred wood under the raging fire and sank to the bottom of the river.

Such a scene attracted the attention of many people on the shore, but it was just to join in the fun. After all, many people knew that someone deliberately burned the painting boat, and no lives were caused, so it was not a big deal.

But Li Xiuyuan's actions made some romantic people, as well as the prostitutes in the painting boat on the river, deeply moved.

I just feel that the woman named Wannv is very enviable. Although she is in the world of mortals, she has met a kind benefactor. After she fell into the river and was killed, she was willing to buy the painting boat in her lifetime and burn it to pay homage.

This is not only willing to give up a lot of money, but also to have this kind of heart.

Li Xiuyuan didn't even know that such a move of his own had aroused the concern of many prostitutes on the painting boat, and they all wanted to get acquainted with the loving and righteous man who used this method to pay homage to Wannv.

It would be funny if he knew.

This is completely irrelevant.

A fictional character, a warning event, has become a sad love story in people's mouth.

But just when he was about to go back after wandering around, he ran into one of the scholars he met in the Drunken Wind Tower on the street.

If Li Xiuyuan remembers correctly, this scholar seems to be called Gao Fan.

"This is Gao Fan, brother Gao? It's a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet him on the street." Li Xiuyuan greeted him.

This scholar named Gao Fan suddenly raised his head, grabbed Li Xiuyuan's hand and said, "Brother Li is you? It's great to see you, Brother Li. You know the magic of catching ghosts and eliminating demons. Know other spells, can you do me a favor?"

"Oh, what's the matter, why don't you tell me." Li Xiuyuan saw a few finger marks on Gao Fan's face, as if he had been slapped in the face, and his hair was also very messy, as if he had fought and torn.

But there were no obvious scars, obviously not done by the man.

"I'm ashamed to say that my wife has no morals. I couldn't bear it and ran out because of her torture. Does Brother Li have any spells that can cure this disease? If so, please help me." Gao Fan said The deputy looked at Li Xiuyuan like a savior.

Emotionally, you have been subjected to domestic violence.

The corner of Li Xiuyuan's mouth twitched, as a scholar, you have a reputation, how incompetent you are, to be crushed by a woman.

"This, but there is no such thing. How can there be any spell that can change one's virtue? If there is one, it must be the teaching of a sage, the enlightenment of an eminent monk. I only know some superficial spells for catching ghosts and eliminating demons. Where can the ability change?" The human heart, you must know that the human heart is difficult even for ghosts and gods, let alone me."

He shook his head and refused with some embarrassment.

"Yes, yes, how can a person's virtue be easily changed? If it continues like this, I think it's better to become a monk. If you become a monk, you may be able to escape her torture."

Gao Fan was a little lost again, and then he said goodbye.

Li Xiuyuan said: "You suffer from being treated by a bad wife at home, you can't bear it, why don't you divorce her and find another good wife?"

Gao Fan smiled wryly and said: "My wife married me when I was poor, served my parents-in-law, and took care of the housework. Now that I am a Jinshi, how can I abandon my poor wife? Maybe I didn't treat her well before, but now she has resentment. So just take this opportunity to vent." After finishing speaking, he gave up again and again, obviously rejecting Li Xiuyuan's proposal.

Hearing what he said, Li Xiuyuan didn't think he was incompetent anymore, but admired him a little.

Gao Fan can have such an idea, which shows that his moral character is good.

"My suggestion was wrong. I apologize. A poor wife should not be abandoned. This should be adhered to." Li Xiuyuan said.

"It's okay, Brother Zhang and Brother Qian also suggested that, but I didn't agree. Now I'm going to take refuge in the temple and listen to the teachings of Buddhism. Maybe this will make me feel better." Gao Fan said.

Watching him leave, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
