Strange Records of Xijing

"What is this?" Pei Jingxing turned his head and asked Su Yan as he looked at the gorgeous ghost who was lying on the ground, half of his head bitten by an old yellow dog, and still twitching from time to time.

Yangui is no longer as gorgeous as before. Her body was exposed to the sun, like a person in a fire, her skin was blistering, and the exposed white bone spurs gradually showed countless cracks, large and small. The face is like melting wax, constantly changing into various shapes.

"It's Yangui." Su Yan retracted Liulizi, took out the red rope used earlier, no matter how Yangui struggled, he directly tied it around Yangui's neck.

Strange to say, when the red rope was tied around Yangui's neck, Yangui stopped struggling, and those blistered skin, cracked bone spurs, and melted face gradually returned to their original appearance.

When Li Laodao saw this, he whistled, and the old yellow dog let go of his mouth, and ran back to Li Laodao's arms, and turned into an unlucky look with his tail between his legs again, completely different from when he bit the Yangui before. Majestic.

Pei Jingxing tried his best to control the peripheral vision from the corner of his eyes, try not to look at the flamboyant ghost lying on the ground, and said to Li Laodao: "Li Laodao, the 'half-faced ghost' you received back then has come out again, come with me Bar."

Li Laodao listened, and smiled: "Of course, of course."

"As for this thing," Pei Jingxing looked at Su Yan, "Can you bring this gorgeous ghost back to the National Teacher's Mansion? Give it to Gao Zekai for interrogation."

Su Yan nodded: "Yes."

Just when everyone was about to leave, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming from the front.

Holding guns in both hands, Pei Jingxing stood in front of Su Yan and the others to meet the enemy.

As a result, the man appeared in front of everyone, and both sides were stunned.

"Are you all right?" It was Gao Zekai who ran to the backyard, and saw that the left shoulder of his Taoist robe was hanging down, his neckline was not neat, his hair was tied up casually, and he didn't even have a crown.

"It's okay." Seeing that it was Gao Zekai who came, Pei Jingxing simply took two steps to the side, revealing Su Yan and Yangui who were standing behind him.

"Is this a gorgeous ghost?" Gao Zekai saw the ghost bound by Su Yan's red rope, and frowned, "How did you meet?"

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time," Pei Jingxing didn't answer, but urged, "Go back and talk about it first."

Li Laodao twisted his foot before, and Yan Gui couldn't be clearly tied behind the horse's buttocks, so Pei Jingxing asked Marquis Wu to call for a carriage, and stuffed Su Yan, Gao Zekai, Li Laodao, and Yan Gui into it.He let the Dao boy who came with Gao Zekai drive the carriage, and he followed into the carriage.

Yan Gui was tied up with a red rope, so she couldn't perceive anything from the outside world. At this moment, Gao Zekai thought she was taking up space, so he simply carried her into a corner.

Pei Jingxing sat down, looked at Li Laodao who was holding the old yellow dog in front of him, and asked, "Li Laodao, how did you know that the 'half-faced ghost' had other secrets?"

Li Laodao showed his yellow teeth: "Why can't the old Dao understand what Pei Jie is talking about?"

Pei Jingxing frowned, and asked: "'Half-faced ghost' is not a person to be damned, and ordinary methods of catching ghosts are useless to her. Did someone tell you beforehand that you succeeded in one blow?"

Li Laodao was stunned: "You know?"

Gao Zekai was beating on the sidelines: "I've caught the ghost, can I still lie to you? If you're sensible, you should confess earlier, maybe Pei Jie will be able to forgive you."

Li Laodao closed his eyes, stroked the old yellow dog a few times with one hand, sighed, and then said: "It's not that I don't want to confess, it's just that people like Shangguan Shaoqing, how can ordinary people like us dare to offend. "

Pei Jingxing promised: "Don't worry, if this case is in the hands of Jin Wuwei, Shangguan Yun can't intervene."

Li Laodao, on the other hand, chuckled: "Pei Street Envoy, you are still young, there are some things that the Jinwu Guard can't handle."

Pei Jingxing was displeased: "You won't say it?"

"Yes, of course I will," Li Laodao nodded and said, "Now the old Daoist is living an extra day to earn a day. If he hadn't met Pei Street Envoy and this young fellow Daoist today, he would have died long ago."

"That day I was scammed in Pingkangfang as usual, but someone found me and said that Mr. Shangguan Shaoqing's house was haunted. Please let me go and have a look. In fact, ghosts are mostly caused by people's own ghosts, not real. The man also said that Shangguan Shaoqing accompanied his wife to the temple to offer incense today, and asked me to go to the Shangguan mansion tomorrow, and took out a phoenix hairpin as a fixed payment. I was worried that I would not find anything before dinner, so I took it , On the same day I was able to go, I went to Mrs. Liu to order a table of wine and food. The next day I went to Shangguan's mansion in the direction pointed by Shangguan's servant. Shangguan Shaoqing met me and said that the "half-faced ghost" a few days ago Appearing in his own courtyard frightened Mrs. Shangguan. He heard my name and wanted to ask me to exorcise Mrs. Shangguan. I thought I had taken all the phoenix hairpins. I brought them all with me, so I asked someone to open an altar in the backyard of Shangguan Mansion. But I didn’t expect that I really found that there was an evil spirit in the backyard of Shangguan Mansion. The evil spirit was very strange, looming, as if it was attached to someone. I just want I wanted to hurry up and take the money and leave, so I kept quiet, but that bastard Shangguan Yun didn't give me the money, but instead said that the 'half-faced ghost' had been at large, making his wife feel uncomfortable, and wanted me to arrest the 'half-faced ghost' stand up."

"So you went to catch it?"

"How can it be?" Li Laodao was not at all ashamed, revealing his family background, "I just rely on some tricks to make a living, and I don't really go to catch ghosts. Originally, I thought about leaving, leaving Xijing, No matter how powerful and powerful Shangguan Shaoqing is, he can't chase me to the ends of the earth, right? But I thought about it, the Fengchai is still mortgaged by the old bustard Liu, and I didn't get a single copper coin. If I really want to leave Xijing, where should I go? Going to eat? Then Shangguan Shaoqing was also generous and left me to live in the Shangguan mansion. As a result, within two days, before I could figure out a way to escape, Shangguan Shaoqing gave me a few things , Said that a Taoist priest left it earlier, let me see if it can be used."

"What?" Pei Jingxing asked, "Could it be something to restrain the 'half-faced ghost'?"

"Street Envoy Pei is really smart," Old Li said flatteringly with a thumbs up, without blushing or panting, "As Envoy Pei said, I've looked at those things for a while, and then figured them out. Yo Heh, this Shangguan Shaoqing usually looks indifferent, so he is still a good hand. However, the street envoy Pei may not know that many magic tools and spells are likely to backfire on the caster. I am worried that I will be killed by Shangguan. Shaoqing made a gesture, and quietly inquired about several servants of the Shangguan mansion. It turned out that there were indeed a few people dressed as monks who lived in the Shangguan mansion more than half a year ago. One of them lost his left ear and only his right hand was left. Three fingers down, it's not a good thing at first glance."

At the end, Gao Zekai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Is this person surnamed Wan?"

"I don't know about that," Li Laodao shook his head and said, "I'm worried about showing my feet. They are all people who ask side-by-side questions, and they are not so detailed."

Gao Zekai showed disappointment: "Go on."

Li Laodao continued: "Later, I carefully studied the things that Shangguan Shaoqing gave me, and found that although these things will not backfire on the caster, they are very strange, and they are different from the usual magic tools. But I don't dare to ask about Shangguan Shaoqing's affairs, the old Taoist hopes to get away with the money and leave."

Pei Jingxing asked him: "After you captured the 'half-faced ghost', you said you wanted to refine it, did you hand it over to Shangguan Yun?"

"Exactly," Li Laodao nodded, "Shangguan Shaoqing said that his wife was frightened, and the personal servant girl who accompanied her from her mother's house to serve her for more than ten years was also killed by the 'half-faced ghost'. Only when the 'half-faced ghost' was dissipated can the hatred in my heart be relieved. I handed the 'half-faced ghost' to Shangguan Shaoqing, and took the money and left early the next morning. First, I went for a walk outside Xijing, and then disguised myself Come back to Xijing again."

"Do you know that someone is going to kill you?" Pei Jingxing was keenly aware of Li Laodao's seemingly unnecessary move, "Is the person who ambushed today a member of Shangguan Yun?"

"I don't know about that," Li Laodao escaped, closing his eyes and shaking his head, "After entering the National Teacher's Mansion, those ghosts will have nothing to do with me."

At this moment, Gao Zekai finally had a chance to ask about the Yangui: "How did you meet this Yangui?"

Su Yan was not good at words, and at this time he was almost asleep by the horse, but it was Li Laodao who said the matter again.Of course, Li Laodao didn't hold anything back about how he resisted the temptation of the erotic ghost, and how he managed to turn the tide. He spent most of his time on it.

"What about Pei Jie?" Hearing that Pei Jingxing had disappeared for a while, Gao Zekai frowned and asked, "What happened to you?"

Pei Jingxing briefly described what happened to him, focusing on that strange opponent.

"It's evil." Gao Zekai followed the national teacher for more than ten years. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he saw a similar description in an ancient book, "I heard that this evil thing is cultivated from dying children. After death, the three souls and seven souls were separated from the body, and they divided the child's soul into two halves, leaving only the dead dog's soul, and the remaining soul was sealed in a magic weapon. In this way, the child's body will still grow, and They can grow in the direction they want. For example, if you want a barrel-like one, you can stuff the child into the barrel; The secret medicine and method to refine the corpse of a child into a zombie. The zombie's body is very soft, and they can take out any bone in their body as a weapon at will, so they are hard to defend against."

Speaking of this, Gao Zekai suddenly changed the subject, looked at Pei Jingxing and warned: "The villain you encountered, with vicious methods and high martial arts skills, must have spent a lot of effort to cultivate it. That person lost his rigidity, I must hate you to the bone, so you should be more careful during this time."

Pei Jingxing sneered: "Come as soon as you come, there's nothing to be afraid of. Even the vicious dogs have been beaten, and the master can still beat them!" After speaking, he raised the dragon head and tiger tooth gun in his hand, and knocked it on the carriage.

Although to Pei Jingxing it was just a light tap to express his position, but he didn't think about the weight of a dragon's head and a tiger's tooth gun, he just suffered for this carriage with four people and one ghost.

Su Yan, who was sitting next to him and sleeping soundly, was caught off guard and slid onto Pei Jingxing's body, and was knocked squarely by his armor.

Su Yan was sleeping comfortably, when suddenly he felt a white light explode in the gloomy vision in front of him.With a jolt, he woke up immediately, and felt a warmth on his cheek.

It was Pei Jingxing.

Su Yan's age is about the same as Pei Huaiyu's, and he is used to Pei Huaiyu's escapism, now suddenly there is a young and mature Su Yan, with superb skills but with a naturalness that he has not seen for many years, even if Pei Jingxing deliberately alienates people like Taoist monks , and couldn't help treating Su Yan as a younger brother.

It's just that Pei Jingxing's hand was attached for a while, and he regretted it.No matter what their nature is, the children of the Xijing family always put on a show in front of unfamiliar outsiders.Pei Jingxing acted according to his own will, but at this moment he was worried whether Su Yan would be disgusted.

He quickly put down the hand that was touching Su Yan's cheek, and asked with some embarrassment: "Are you all right?"

Su Yan didn't fully wake up after dozing off, so he rubbed his face vigorously and shook his head.

Li Laodao had already fallen asleep hugging the old yellow dog at this moment, Gao Zekai beside him didn't speak, and looked at Pei Jingxing's rare embarrassment with great interest.

But Su Yan didn't care about it. Compared with his practice in the mountains, such stumbling and stumbling were really nothing, so he rubbed it casually, and then let it go.

The carriage soon arrived at the National Teacher's Mansion, and several little Taoist boys were waiting at the door early in the morning.

Su Yan had no objection, so Yan Gui temporarily stayed in the National Teacher's Mansion, with a talisman written by the National Teacher on the door, leaving four Taoist boys to guard it.Although Li Laodao was coerced by Shangguan Yun, the charges against him have not been cleared, and there are still many doubts. Pei Jingxing worried that the people who attacked them in the house before would strike again. Stayed in the National Teacher's Mansion.

Gao Zekai scolded Pei Jingxing from the inside out in his heart, and then he got down to business: "There is something wrong with that 'half-faced ghost', you follow me, and you'll know when you see it."
