[Comprehensive] Traveling through Liaozhai with a hundred ghosts

Xu Hang was stunned for a while after waking up, and when he was about to wake up, he suddenly heard the system's long-lost notification sound coming from his ear.

[Story [-] recorded]

Just as Xu Hang was about to get out of bed, he paused for a moment, but his mind didn't stop. He quickly recalled the incident of the fox marrying his daughter last night.

Then he began to re-examine the tasks of the system. He originally thought that the collection of folk tales and strange tales was taken literally.But now it seems that he still needs to participate to a certain extent?

At noon, when the sun was at its strongest, even the monsters summoned by Xu Hang could hardly go against their nature, and they didn't like to come out for activities at this time, so there were not many active figures in the yard.

Xu Hang didn't go to set up a stall today, but simply walked around the village.Thinking of what I found when I woke up this morning, I wanted to go to Na Zhu Erdan to verify my conjecture.

But before he found Zhu Erdan, he suddenly smelled an uncomfortable strong fragrance again while walking on the street. The fragrance was so sweet that it was greasy, as if trying to cover up something.

Xu Hang stopped in his tracks and couldn't help looking back. Because it was noon, there were not many people on the road, only a few sparse ones. Xu Hang's eyes quickly fell on a middle-aged man by the side of the road.

This middle-aged man was not alone, behind him was a servant supporting an old woman.

Seeing such a combination, Xu Hang thought he had made a mistake at first, but after careful identification of the source of the fragrance, he found that it was indeed coming from these people. It is impossible for a man to wear face powder. Women know how to wear face powder, and an old woman shouldn't wear it so strongly.

Xu Hang stared at their backs for a few seconds, then walked over decisively and stopped in front of them.

I saw the middle-aged man's face was full of richness and redness, and there was a faint golden light on his head. He seemed to be a good person who usually did good deeds, and judging by his clothes, he should belong to a wealthy family in the local area, probably a squire or something.

If there is no accident, the other party should have a blessed life in this life, and he can grow old safely with a full house of children and grandchildren, but now there is black air in the golden light, and the Yintang is dark. This is a sign of bad luck, and it must be within two days. Misfortune happened.Xu Hang glanced lightly at the old woman who was being supported by the servants. When he came to them, the fragrance in the air became more and more intense. Xu Hang was already sure that the smell came from the old woman, just looking at other people The reaction seems to be that I can't smell the fragrance.

Strange to say, when Xu Hang saw the old woman for the first time, he almost didn't need to argue, he was already very sure that the other party was a demon.

The squire was suddenly blocked, his face was a little confused, but his servant was a little annoyed, secretly thinking who is so short-sighted, and the road is so wide that he has to block in front of his master?

The servant was about to step forward to stand up for the master, so Xu Hang said to the squire: "You will be in danger for your life in the near future. If you want to save your life, don't take in idlers."

As he said that, Xu Hang looked at the old woman supported by the servant with blazing eyes.

The old woman shrank visibly.

It's not easy for Xu Hang to take action on the street in broad daylight, so it can only be a verbal warning. It would be best if the squire is willing to listen to the persuasion. A bit of a pity for a nice guy.

Although Xu Hang follows the morality of modern society, on the other hand, he seems to take human life very lightly.As long as others are in trouble, he will help them when they see injustice, but if the other party is unwilling to accept, then he will not force it, anyway, he has already tried to help.As for those who suffer misfortune where he cannot see, he will not feel powerless because he cannot save himself. Simply put, he feels that it is enough to do his personal duty.

When the servant heard this, he was immediately annoyed. The monk in front of him came up and said that he was in trouble recently. Isn't this cursing their master!Among other things, their master is a good man praised by everyone in this area. Such a good man must be blessed and lucky.

This charlatan... Bah!

The servant immediately scolded: "You charlatans, get out of here, don't think that you can defraud our lord of our money!"

As he spoke, he planned to push Xu Hang away, but was stopped by the squire.

The squire said politely: "Master, does it mean that there are evil spirits who want to harm me?"

Xu Hang didn't speak, just nodded.

Then the squire Kuo Da laughed and said, "I think that I live upright and sit upright on weekdays. I have never done anything wrong, and I am not afraid of ghosts coming to my door."

Xu Hang knew that it was a little abrupt for him to come forward like this, but he is not a Taoist priest who really catches ghosts, and now he is only obliged to remind him, and he can't do it if the other party doesn't believe it.

Xu Hang glanced quietly at the old woman behind him. If he guessed correctly, this might be the Painted Skin Ghost who committed crimes nearby not long ago.

Through some things in the past few days, Xu Hang has confirmed that he is probably an SSR-level existence in the eyes of many monsters. Anyway, he is very powerful. For ordinary monsters, he is a detour and does not want to be contacted unless necessary.

The old woman's face gradually turned pale, and Xu Hang's gaze weighed heavily on her, making her almost unable to bear the thought of fleeing immediately, but fortunately, the remaining rationality kept hinting to herself: In broad daylight, the other party She definitely didn't want to be too ostentatious...that's why she barely resisted Xu Hang's gaze.

It wasn't until Xu Hang withdrew his gaze that the old woman was able to breathe a sigh of relief, but her precarious appearance became more sympathetic.

Xu Hang's words had come to this point, and he didn't bother to say more, so he just walked past them and left.

He thought to himself, he had to find out where the squire lived, if he had guessed correctly, the Painted Skin Ghost would definitely start running away after being so frightened by him today.

He needs to subdue Painted Skin before she escapes, lest there be more victims.As for the squire, if he was lucky enough to survive until he shot, his life would be saved. If he died, there was nothing he could do. Although it was a pity, he had already reminded the other party.

The squire has traveled all over the world in the past, and has also seen many cases of bluffing and deceiving. Usually, these charlatans will not let it go, and will definitely continue to pester them. Just as they wanted to ask him to make way, the ascetic monk avoided them gone.

Xu Hang's reaction made the squire a little concerned.Although most of the Taoist priests and wandering monks encountered in the world are pretending to be gods and ghosts, occasionally there are real materials.

The squire couldn't help but be careful.

Speaking of which, this old woman was met by the squire on the way back in a carriage the day before yesterday, and it is said that she wanted to come here to join relatives.

Seeing that the old woman was walking tremblingly with a cane alone, and she looked so pitiful, the squire took pity on her and gave her a ride along the way.

As a result, after returning to Lijia Village, the family the old woman wanted to go to moved away long ago. The squire was usually kind and generous, and he didn't mind letting the old woman live in his own house first.

Besides Xu Hang, shortly after meeting the Painted Skin Ghost, he saw Zhu Erdan at a nearby restaurant.

It just so happened that Zhu Erdan also saw him. Zhu Erdan was always forthright and enthusiastic, and immediately called Xu Hang over for a drink and dinner.

Xu Hang walked over and saw that Zhu Erdan was not alone, there were several scholars sitting at the table.

"This is the master Xu I met when I was on my way."

Zhu Erdan introduced to others.

It is estimated that Zhu Erdan told his friends that Xu Hang is a capable master before he came here, so Xu Hang received a curious scrutiny smoothly.

Xu Hang simply bowed his hands to salute them.

After he sat down, someone among them asked: "I heard that the master is now living in a deserted house in the suburbs?"

"Yes." Xu Hang nodded.

The few scholars present immediately became interested, and someone asked again: "That desolate house has always been rumored to be haunted. Master, have you seen any strange things since you lived there? Why don't you tell me about it."

"I heard that it is the den of vixen. Are those vixens very beautiful?"

"Brother Han, look at what you are asking. His master is a monk, and his six senses are quiet. In his eyes, he must be a skull, and there is no distinction between beauty and ugliness."

Xu Hang wasn't annoyed when he heard the jokes of the group of scholars, but just sat calmly as usual.

After a while, after they finished talking, Xu Hang said, "It's not as evil as the rumors say, it's probably just because it's been abandoned for too long and the environment is dilapidated, and it's dark. Any disturbances in the wind and grass will be magnified and thought to be ghosts."

Hearing what he said, everyone who thought they could hear such adventures as fighting against evil spirits was a little disappointed.

Zhu Erdan laughed: "It's too late for demons and ghosts to hide from the master, so how dare they come out again."

Everyone felt right when they heard the words. When they looked back at Xu Hang, they had to say that this master was really good-looking, with a face like a crown jade and eyes like stars. Although he was young, he looked calm and composed. His demeanor is so high that people dare not underestimate him.

Then, Zhu Erdan remembered something: "Speaking of ghosts and gods, I have a strange thing I want to tell you."

"Oh?"

Everyone was aroused by him one after another.

"Do you still remember that we went to the Palace of Ten Kings to explore the secrets the night before yesterday? Haha, I didn't expect that the statue of the judge I carried back really attracted the real judge. The judge from the Palace of Ten Kings came to drink with me last night. You said this Strange?"

All the scholars present were amazed, and Xu Hang also glanced at Zhu Erdan.

"Is what you said true? Did the judge really appear?"

"You can't just talk about it, why don't you invite the judge to show us?"

Zhu Erdan did not shirk: "If you are not afraid, just come to my house tonight, I have an appointment with the judge to continue drinking tonight!"

Seeing that Zhu Erdan was so frank, some of the people present got stage fright first. If what Zhu Erdan said was true, then he was a real judge!So he couldn't help asking Xu Hang in a tone of asking for help: "Master Xu, will you come too?"

The person next to him smiled and said, "Zhou Sheng, do you need to shrink your head like this when you're a big man?"

Xu Hang smiled slightly: "If Mr. Zhu doesn't mind adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Zhu Erdan laughed and said, "I have long wanted to invite you to have a meal with me, master, so I wouldn't mind."

In this way, a table of people made an appointment to meet again tonight.
