Liaozhai Great Sage

"Hey, did someone knock on the door just now?"

"There is no sound of knocking on the door, you are hard of hearing. In the middle of the night, there is no one in the wilderness besides us who will come here to knock on the door. Stop making noise, let me take a nap, you keep watch first , I will change shifts for you in two hours."

The other guard said, and then turned around and took a nap.

The previous guard also thought that he might have heard it wrong, so he didn't think much about it.

"Bang! Bang!"

But soon, there was another knock on the door outside.

"It's very likely that someone knocked on the door." The guard immediately became vigilant and became cautious all of a sudden.

Through the gate of the old inn, he could vaguely see a figure outside.

"Who is it, who is knocking on the door outside." The guard shouted in a low voice, already clenched the waist knife in his hand.

Maybe some kind of beast in this barren mountain smelled human and knocked on the door outside, so don't be careless.

He made up his mind that as soon as something went wrong, he would immediately wake up his companion.

Could it be that the twenty or so men are still afraid of some wild beasts, even evil ghosts and goblins, they have to stay away.

"It's a passerby. Seeing the fire here, I want to come in and settle down. Please be kind."

Listening to this voice is a woman's voice, soft and pleasant, people can't help but let go of their vigilance.

"Are you alone?" The guard didn't rush to open the door, but walked to the door and looked at each other.

"I'm the only one, please let this elder brother help you." The woman's voice sounded again.

As expected, the guard saw a pretty woman in a red dress and with her hair in a bun.

The woman was carrying a package, her expression dodged, and she seemed a little cautious.

"It turned out to be a girl. It's cold outside at night, so come in and settle down."

When the guard saw a woman, he immediately lowered his vigilance, opened the door, and let her in.

"Woo~!"

As soon as the door opened, a gust of wind blew in, and the guard immediately had goosebumps all over his body.

"The wind outside is quite cold. If you don't mind, girl, go and enjoy the fire. It's warm over there." The guard said kindly.

After the woman came in, she looked around and frowned slightly when she saw the blazing flames, but her eyes flickered when she saw the twenty or so men lying on the ground, sound asleep. Shrink, a little happy.

"I'm not cold, I just want to find a place to rest for the night." The woman laughed.

Although some rouge and gouache were applied on the face facing the fire, it was difficult to cover her pale complexion.

"The girl thinks it's inconvenient, right? Also, here are all our fellow brothers. It's really inconvenient for you, a girl." The guard smiled a little embarrassedly: "If the girl doesn't dislike it, you can rest there. , make sure no one disturbs you."

"Thank you, big brother." The woman said gratefully.

The guard smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter. If I meet my young master, I will take care of the girl. After all, no one has any difficulties when they are away from home."

"Okay, don't disturb this girl's rest, I still have to watch the night."

After finishing speaking, he gestured.

The woman nodded and sat beside her without saying a word.

But a pair of eyes kept turning around everyone's body, especially on the guard who was watching the night, staying for a long time.

Chapter 74 Wine, Sex and Wealth

As the night grew darker, the cold wind howled outside, blowing into the deserted inn, scurrying around, causing all kinds of strange sounds to resound in the inn.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan was sitting cross-legged in the bedroom inside.

Standing next to it is a pale golden golden gun and a pair of three-stone bows.

With nothing else to do, he tried to settle down like he was in the Taoist temple in Xiahe Village, and then tried to see if he could get out of his body.

I heard from my master that I have cultivated a ghost, but... I haven't learned how to get out of my body.

The last time the blind Taoist let Li Xiuyuan out of his body, he didn't know what method he used, and then he just let Li Xiuyuan's Yin God enter a blessed land of immortals, and got the opportunity of Renshan Avenue.

In addition, Li Xiuyuan was not taught any Taoism, Taoism, or supernatural powers.

He didn't even say how to get out of his body.

Everything seems to have to be handled by Li Xiuyuan himself.

However, Li Xiuyuan knew that his master blind man didn't forget to teach him how to practice, but he was always grasping a degree.

I wanted to teach myself how to practice, but I was also taboo about something, so I didn't teach it deeply.

He just imparted some simple knowledge about demons and ghosts, as well as some common sense about cultivating Taoism. In addition, Li Xiuyuan learned the spirit-enlightening talisman, which he learned by stealing a teacher by accident.

He sat cross-legged on the wooden couch covered with hay, and the moonlight outside the window fell on his body, creating a faint halo.

It was as if some essence of the sun and the moon had been guided down and entered his body.

But... that's all, Li Xiuyuan didn't feel any special changes, but felt that he seemed to be energetic without sleeping.

Hmm, it seems that the more you settle down, the more spiritual you become.

It's a great road to be alone, and you don't have to sleep in the future.

But at this time.

In the lobby of the station.

The woman in the red dress who had entered the station before, sat quietly in a corner of the station at this time, stiff and motionless, with only a pair of eyes moving around, looking at all the guards who were sleeping soundly in the lobby.

"Miss, it's the middle of the night, why is your daughter's family haunting this wilderness?"

At this time, Li Zhong, the night watch guard, had nothing to do, and seeing that the woman hadn't taken a break, he asked.

He felt that this woman was a bit weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird.

The woman paused for a moment, then sighed slightly, and said, "It's a long story, my parents were greedy for money and sold me to a rich family as a concubine, but the first wife of that family is a jealous person. , he yelled and cursed at me at every turn, and several times even beat me until I passed out. I couldn't bear such torture, so I escaped overnight."

"Because I was in a hurry to escape, I forgot the time. When I came back to my senses, I was already in the wilderness. I happened to see a fire in the abandoned post station on the way, so I tried to knock on the door and borrow a place. place to settle."

"I didn't expect you, girl, to be a poor person." Li Zhong sighed.
