Li Chuan agreed happily, but Manager Liu was a little surprised.

This poor scholar came to invite me ten times in the past, but nine times he refused to go. Why did he suddenly change his gender today?

But he didn't ask.

Before coming to Li Chuan's house, he first went to the houses of several other scholars. As soon as they heard that Zhang Yuanwai's house was beset by a demon, they all made excuses to refuse.

On the way, he heard that Li Chuan was back, so he came here with the intention of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, Li Chuan agreed!

He doesn't want to regret it because of his talk.

Li Chuan didn't explain, he just went back to the house to change clothes.

When he took off his coat, he touched the book in his sleeve pocket. After thinking for a moment, he found a piece of clean cloth, wrapped the book a few times, and put it at the bottom of the cage.

Then he walked out of the house and followed Manager Liu to Zhang Yuanwai's home.

On the way, Li Chuan asked Manager Liu where Zhang Yuanwai invited the Taoist priests from.

Manager Liu replied: "He is a Taoist priest from the Four Gods Palace."

Four Gods Palace?

Li Chuan thought of the house with the boiled egg that is said to come from the Si Shen Palace.

Is he another liar?

As he walked, Manager Liu kept talking to himself: "This Four Gods Palace has a very good background. I heard that there were gods. And, they pay attention to the word 'fate'? If there is no fate, it will be a golden million."

Both of them will not take action; if there is a fate, they will not leave even if they are driven away."

This sounds more like a liar.

Manager Liu continued: "I do good deeds and accumulate virtues on weekdays. Usually when I encounter a monster, I will report it to the official and others to deal with it. If it is quick, it will take three or four months. If it is slow, it may even take a year. There are some famous temples and Taoist temples.

That’s right, not only do you have to wait, but you also have to ask for it, and you may not always get what you ask for.”

"This time it was a farmer who helped. The old man saved him a few years ago. One of his daughters is now working as a maid in the county magistrate's house. I heard that the family of Yuan Wai was attacked by a demon, and I also knew that the Taoist priest from the Four Gods Palace was in the county government office.

As a guest, I went to ask her mistress, and this way I got connected."

"After hearing the news, the Taoist priest made some calculations and said that he was related to Yuan's family, so he came here today."

"..."

Soon, we arrived at Zhang Yuanwai’s home.

Manager Liu led Li Chuan through the cloister and all the way to the Octagonal Pavilion.

There are two people sitting in the pavilion. One is dark and fat, it is Zhang Yuanwai, the other is wearing a gray Taoist robe, handsome and elegant, obviously the Taoist priest from the Four Gods Palace.

Seeing Li Chuan coming, Zhang Yuanwai stood up and said: "Xiannie, you are here. This is Taoist Wen Gu Yingwen of Sishen Palace..."

Li Chuan didn't hear clearly what Zhang Yuanwai said later.

He saw the sword tied to Daochang Wen's waist. The hilt was inlaid with a huge ruby, which was dazzling. And——

Very familiar!

Li Chuan concluded: He is not a liar.

Li Chuan's silence made Zhang Yuanwai a little embarrassed.

While he complained about Manager Liu's inability to find anyone, he thought about saying a few words to make up for it, but he didn't expect that Daoist Wen took the initiative and said to Li Chuan: "I have always heard that Yunqiao Township has outstanding people, and today I saw it, and it is true."<

/p>

At this time, Li Chuan also came to his senses.

He quickly pulled out a few nice sentences from his memory: "I heard a lot about the Four Gods Palace along the way. I thought it was an exaggeration at the time. Only when I met the Taoist priest did I realize that I was too shallow."

After some business exchanges, the three of them sat down one after another, and Zhang Yuanwai ordered the dishes to be served.

A bowl of stewed meat, a bowl of cured chicken, a bowl of fresh fish, three or four vegetarian dishes, and several plates of fruit filled the table.

Finally, Manager Liu brought a pot of hot wine.

After the three of them chatted about the countryside for a while, Zhang Yuanwai said to Wen Guying: "Master Wen, you have been staying at my house for half a day. What can you tell?"

Wen Guying put down his chopsticks, looked outside the pavilion, and said, "There are indeed traces of monsters in this house."

Zhang Yuanwai asked: "Then, what should we do?"

Wen Guying said: "Let me ask you, has anyone been injured or killed these days?"

"No, no," Zhang Yuanwai immediately denied, saying, "Except for a maid in the kitchen who was cooking the fire and twisted her foot because she caught the rooster, no one was injured."

Wen Guying said: "That's right."

He took a sip of wine and said, "Because you have done a lot of good things in the past and treated your servants well, even though you were attacked by a monster, the monster cannot directly harm you and your family's lives for a while. It can only secretly erode your luck."

."

"What will happen if your luck is eroded?" Zhang Yuanwai asked worriedly.

Wen Guying said: "The house is restless, and people's hearts are scattered. For example, two people who have a little disagreement on weekdays. In normal times, maybe someone else can try to persuade them, or if they want to make up their mind, they should first lower their heads and give each other a hug.

The contradiction will be resolved once the steps are taken. But after being eroded by the demonic power, it will be different. No one is willing to bow his head and will stumble upon the other party whenever there is an opportunity. As a result, the hatred will become deeper and deeper, and in the end they will never end."<

/p>

Wen Guying emphasized his tone, "The master's family will be strict with the servants, and the servants will also plan for the master's property and life, and even the husband and wife will become enemies, the father and the son will turn against each other, and the brothers will kill each other. At that time, even except for the demon, nothing can be restored.

It’s over.”

After hearing this, Zhang Yuanwai showed fear on his face and said, "What should we do?"

Wen Guying said: "Don't panic, don't panic, I'm here."

Zhang Yuanwai immediately said: "Taoist Master, save me!"

Wen Guying took advantage of the situation and agreed, saying: "Tonight you, your family and servants will go to live somewhere else. I will stay here for a while to meet this monster. Tomorrow, I will build a peaceful house."

Evil rituals will not be hindered."

Zhang Yuanwai asked: "Do I need to prepare anything for the ceremony?"

Wen Guying thought for a moment and said, "Just prepare some yellow paper and cinnabar, as well as water."

Zhang Yuanwai responded one by one and said many words of gratitude.

Li Chuan listened to the conversation between Zhang Yuanwai and Wen Guying, and only chimed in when necessary. The rest of the time, he was eating seriously.

Feng San has been sleeping in the open for more than half a month. I don’t know when the next meal of meat will be.

And when eating, you must pay attention to etiquette and rules, and don't spread the word "Li Xiucai looks ugly when he eats, his mouth is full of meat, and he can't speak".

After that, no one called him to eat.

Li Chuan suddenly heard Wen Guying calling him.

"Brother Li."

Li Chuan slowly raised his head, swallowed the meat in his mouth, and then said, "What are your orders, Master Wen?"

Wen Guying said: "Brother Li will stay with me all night tonight."

Then, Li Chuan saw Zhang Yuanwai's pleading eyes towards him.

Li Chuan agreed: "Okay, it's just that I'm used to reading at night, so I need to light more candles in the room and prepare some food."
