Nightwatcher

Every time he passed a place, he would ask the local well-informed people for anecdotes. This is what Xu Qi'an believes is a more effective method besides the dragon energy detection method.

Dragon Qi hosts are all coquettish and sleazy goods, who appear holy and mad in front of others, and they will stir up wind and rain in their respective occasions and show off their limelight.

However, according to the intensity of the dragon energy, the disturbances are different. Some dragon energy can cause a sensation in a city, while some dragon energy hosts can only become the most beautiful cub. .

Moreover, it is a time of troubled times, everywhere is not peaceful, there must be a lot of messy things.

Li Lingsu smiled and said, "Tell me, what's interesting."

With chopsticks in his mouth, Miao Youfang casually added:

"The rules of the rivers and lakes, demons and ghosts making troubles are called "weird things"; villains in the rivers and lakes are called "disasters" when they rob houses; gentry and powerful officials rape good families and oppress the people, which are called "non-human affairs".

"Senior, you are the first one to ask."

Xu Qi'an was surprised: "There is such a particularity?"

He immediately glanced at Li Lingsu, and Shengzi was also surprised, saying that it was the first time he had heard of it.

Seeing this, Miao Youfang suddenly stood up, found a sense of superiority, shook his head and said:

"Both of them are high-ranking figures, so they are naturally not very clear about the proverbs and rules at the bottom of the rivers and lakes."

After he finished speaking, he saw Mu Nanzhi shrinking her body and clinging to Xu Qi'an, with a fearful expression on her face.

What Xu Qi'an just asked was "Is there anything strange?"

The waiter replied: Yes!

This shows that there have been several incidents of demons and ghosts in the small county recently.

Mu Nanzhi is most afraid of these gods and ghosts. Even if there is a martial artist in the Transcendent Realm by her side, it can't give her a sense of security.

Under the silent gaze of the customers, the waiter first took a look at the door of the store and saw that there were no new customers entering the store, so he sat down beside Miao Youfang and said:

"This matter started a month ago. There was a man named Li Gui in the county, and his wife died.

"It's common for people to die, and it's nothing unusual, but who knows, on the first seven days, Li Gui heard someone knocking on the door at night, and Li Gui was sleepy, so he asked who it was?

"The people outside the door said it was his wife who was going home to sleep, and asked why he closed the door.

"Li Gui was confused at the time, so he got up and went to open the door. When he got to the door, he suddenly thought, his wife is dead, how could he come back?

"He was terrified and fled back to bed, hiding under the bedding, not daring to show his head.

"Li Gui's wife kept knocking on the door outside, asking him why he didn't open the door, and kept saying that one sentence over and over again.

"It wasn't until dawn, when the rooster crowed, that the knocking on the door stopped."

Mu Nanzhi shivered slowly, thinking about how she stayed alone in the empty boudoir at night, and then a man knocked on the door, claiming to be Xu Qi'an who had been dead for seven days

Her face suddenly turned pale.

Xu Qi'an didn't know that he had become a dead husband in Mu Nanzhi's brain, and asked:

"and after?"

Shopkeeper said:

"The next day Li Gui went to report to the government. The government thought Li Gui was lying, beat him up and sent him away. The next night, Li Gui's wife came back and knocked on the door.

"This time, his mother-in-law knocked on the door for a while, and seeing that Li Gui didn't open the door, she lay on the outside of the window and looked into the room, lying on the floor all night."

Mu Nanzhi was so frightened that she froze, the little white fox in her arms was almost suffocated by her, and her legs kicked wildly.

Miao Youfang listened with gusto, and questioned:

"How do you know that you lay on your back and watched the whole night, why do you know so much detail?"

The shop waiter smiled "hehe" and said:

"This matter is not over yet. After the rooster crowed, Li Gui's mother-in-law left. Li Gui was frightened for two days and felt that this could not go on. Anger grew from his heart to his gut, so..."

Miao Youfang interjected, "So he went to report to the officials again?"

The waiter was speechless, licked his lips, and showed an awkward and polite smile:

"The guest officer really loves to joke, and the reporter doesn't need to be evil."

After a pause, the shop clerk looked serious and said in a low voice, "He's calling friends and digging graves."

Mu Nanzhi lowered her voice: "Is the corpse gone?"

The waiter shook his head:

"That's not true. Li Gui dug up his wife's grave with his relatives and friends, and found her lying in the coffin. The body was slightly decomposed.

"Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, blaming Li Gui for talking nonsense, and the government will not be wronged. After all, the body is still in the coffin. Could it be that she lifted the coffin boards at night to scare people, and then buried herself back after dawn?"

Mu Nanzhi heard that it was not a ghost, so she was not afraid, and punched out:

"This Li Gui is not a son of man, and uses his dead wife as a talking point."

The waiter looked solemn, shook his head, and said:

"Don't be impatient, lady, just listen to me.

"In the face of everyone's doubts and what he saw before him, Li Gui couldn't help wondering whether what happened in the past two days was his own illusion.

"He was sure that he couldn't read or hear wrongly, so he carefully observed his wife's body. Guess what he found?"

The waiter in this store has a talent for storytelling, he knows how to tell stories, throws suspense, and with his beaming appearance and gestures, Xu Qi'an feels that if he is not used to whoring for nothing, he will throw it out right now if he is not sure about the reward.

"What did you find?"

The childish voice of the little white fox came from Mu Nanzhi's chest.

The waiter looked around blankly: "Who is talking?"

When his eyes were about to cast his eyes on the plump and swollen breasts of the princess, Xu Qi'an pressed his face with his palm, twisted it back, and said lightly:

"Go on with your story."

Mu Nanzhi took the opportunity to pinch the little white fox's butt, warning the little guy not to interrupt.

Otherwise, there will be another "strange thing" in the small county today.

The waiter obsequiously responded, and continued:

"Li Gui found that the shoes worn by the mother-in-law were stained with a lot of mud.

"Think about it, the corpse is lying in the coffin, how can it be stained with mud? Unless"

He said sadly, "The corpse will go away by itself."

Mu Nanzhi drank tea with her head down to hide her inner fear.

If I tell you about "Mountain Village Teacher" tonight, wouldn't you be so scared that Xu Qi'an, who consummated my room with me today, murmured to himself.

Hearing this, Li Ling, Su Miao and You Fang had concluded that there was an exaggeration in the story told by Xiao Er.

Half-truths and half-false are neither, nine false and one true.

Seeing the disbelief on the faces of the customers, the waiter in the shop gave a confident "hey":

"Do the guest officers not believe it?

"Many foreign guests didn't believe it, but in the end, they all believed it."

Miao Youfang, who is experienced in Jianghu, frowned: "Oh, is there a follow-up?"

The waiter tapped his finger on the table, like a storyteller clapping a ruler, and said:

"After Li Gui pointed out his doubts, his relatives and friends were also frightened. They hurriedly buried the grave and fled home. Not long after, news of the incident spread in the county.

"At this time, an old woman who claimed to be a goddess came to Li Gui and told Li Gui that her mother-in-law would not live in peace because she offended the temple god.

"The sorceress said that Li Gui's mother-in-law disrespected the temple gods during her lifetime, and that's why she suffered a disaster. She will still suffer after death, and she will never be reborn. And it will harm her family.

"After listening to Li Gui, he suddenly realized, and then remembered an incident of his wife's life.

"When my wife was still alive, I went back to my mother's house to visit relatives. When I returned to the city, it was raining heavily, so I hid in the Town God's Temple to avoid the rain.

"The Town God's Temple has long been abandoned, and Li Gui's mother-in-law was caught in the rain, so she used a "wooden ghost" in the Town God's Temple as firewood to keep warm.

"Since then, Li Gui's mother-in-law's health has become worse and worse. She was bedridden and woke up every night from nightmares, saying that she saw a little ghost coming to arrest her soul. Li Gui only thought that she was insane and had nightmares."

The waiter in the shop talked eloquently:

"It was only now that Li Gui knew that it was his wife who had offended the temple god, so he asked the sorceress what to do in fear.

"The sorceress told him that he had to remake the statue for the little ghost and burn incense to worship for three days. The bad luck would be cured, so Li Gui spent all his savings to remake the statue and renovate the Town God's Temple.

"Since then, his wife has never come to him again.

"Now the Town God's Temple is also very lively. People go to offer incense every day. It is said that it is very efficacious. Whatever you ask for, you will get what you want. And those who disrespect the temple gods will be punished."

Li Lingsu smiled and said, "How effective is it?"

The waiter looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said:

"Coincidentally, I just knew one thing. Mr. Zheng, who opened a rouge shop on Guanghua Street, is a pious man. Because there was also a rouge shop opposite, which robbed him of his business, so he went to the Temple of the City God to burn incense. Curse the owners of the pair of shops to die.

"As a result, that night, the owner of that shop hanged himself at home."

Miao Youfang raised his thick eyebrows immediately.

Li Lingsu smiled without changing his expression: "How do you know, could it be that Boss Zheng told you himself?"

"It really is!"

The waiter's voice became deeper and deeper: "Boss Zheng was drunk here a few days ago, and he made a slip of the tongue after drinking."

Li Lingsu frowned and restrained his smile: "Then why didn't you report to the government?"

The waiter in the shop wondered: "Why should I report to the government? Not to mention whether the government likes to take care of it or not, it has nothing to do with me. If I offend the temple god, my little life will be lost."

At this time, Xu Qi'an knocked on the table and said lightly:

"Okay, let's go serve."

"okay!"

The shop waiter had enough of his addiction and left contentedly.

When his figure disappeared in the hall, Xu Qi'an muttered:

"This doesn't sound like something a Dragon Qi host can do."

Too grotesque.

Li Lingsu asked: "Then should we take care of it?"

Without waiting for Xu Qi'an to express his opinion, Miao Youfang rushed to answer:

"Naturally, if you kill someone, you have to pay with your life. After dinner, we will go to the Temple of the City God. Besides, I also want to see who the so-called temple god is."

Xu Qi'an nodded and looked at Shengzi: "Then what happened to Li Gui, what do you think?"

Li Lingsu knew what he was asking:

"It can't be caused by unjust souls, mortal souls are weak, before the first seven, they will be muddled, and after the first seven, they will disappear, unless there are people who are proficient in Taoism to refine their souls.

"But just now Xiao Er said that the corpse is causing trouble. I think it is a means of accusing the corpse. How about we dig the grave for an autopsy?"

After finishing speaking, Li Lingsu suddenly realized why Xu Qi'an became famous in the capital because he was nosy.

Just as Li Miaozhen can become a flying swallow heroine.

In comparison, Brother Yang is not persistent enough in this regard.

Xu Qi'an smiled and said, "What's the purpose? After all this effort, is it just to rebuild the Town God's Temple?"

Li Lingsu was thoughtful.

After the meal, Xu Qi'an and his party left the small county town after asking the waiter about the location of Ming Chenghuang Temple.
