Liaozhai Great Sage

In an instant, he opened his eyes and woke up from the dream.

"It's a dream again, it's still the same dream." Li Xiuyuan frowned and rubbed his head: "But if I try to remember again, I can't remember what happened in the dream. It's weird, weird. Do you want to go to the master another day? Ask?"

"Heck, heck~!"

Suddenly, Lei Gong's cry suddenly sounded outside the door. For some unknown reason, the big red rooster slammed into his door, looking very impatient, as if something had happened.

"What are you arguing about, Mr. Lei, early in the morning?" Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to stand up and open the door.

I cast the spell of painting the ground into a prison outside the door, and no matter how spiritual Lei Gong is, he can't break in.

As soon as the door was opened, he immediately smelled a fishy smell, like the smell of lamb.

The smell was so strong that Li Xiuyuan immediately frowned.

wrong.

This is the smell left by the water ghost.

He strode out, and when he just went out, he saw wet footprints left by the steps of his door. It seemed that someone had walked around the door several times last night.

Looking at the yard again, there are dense wet footprints, and there are still some ashes scattered in the corner of the yard.

Like paper ashes left after burning.

"A group of ghosts entered last night." Li Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly.

He fell asleep last night and was still dreaming, so he had no idea what was happening outside.

Chapter 668 The Water Ghost Asks for Money

Looking at the wet footprints of ghosts all over the yard, and the smell of ashes and mutton remaining in the air.

It is conceivable how many ghosts came to this courtyard last night.

Among them are house ghosts who were worshiped by people, water ghosts who died in the water in vain, and some gods who enjoyed incense... And the Taoism is not low, at least they have practiced for hundreds of years. Simple things, either first-class ghost generals, or ghost kings.

Li Xiuyuan frowned. He looked around and saw that the water tank where the white lotus was stocked had been cracked, and the white lotus inside was missing.

Look at the opposite room again.

But the door on the opposite side opened, and rows of wet footprints entered the room along the steps.

Li Xiuyuan walked over to take a look, but saw that the female ghost Xiao Xie was no longer in the house, and even the girl Qiu Rong who stayed overnight last night was also missing, and the house was already empty.

"Lei Gong, what happened last night, are there any ghosts and gods in the world who dare to break into this courtyard in front of you, and beat up a female ghost and a living person?"

He strode out of the house and looked at the big scarlet rooster in the courtyard.

Lei Gong lowered his head with an extremely frustrated look, he just gurgled twice and didn't try to argue.

"With your ability, if a ghost with less than 500 years of practice enters your eyes, it is tantamount to feeding. Your ghost-eating ability makes ghosts and gods feel extremely fearful, and I didn't hear your crowing reminder at night. With your It is impossible for the sound not to wake me up, unless you didn't stay in the courtyard at all last night, or...you were deliberately lured away by a trick."

Li Xiuyuan said seriously with his eyes moving slightly.

"Forget it, now that things have happened, I blame you for being unfit for guarding, and I feel like I'm shirking responsibility. There is also the reason why I slept too comfortably yesterday. I thought that there would be nothing wrong with painting the ground as a prison, but I didn't think about the safety of other people. I didn't think well, I will reflect on my mistakes, and I will make up for them."

He thought that most of the ghosts and gods in the world were targeting him, so he was very vigilant and neglected to protect his surroundings.

"Han Meng, Wu Xiang, are you here?"

Li Xiuyuan suddenly discovered that the guards who were stationed nearby in shifts at twelve hours on weekdays were also gone.

He called but no one answered.

"Did something happen to the people in the Escort?"

With this question in mind, he immediately walked to the front yard.

But as soon as they got to the front yard, they saw soldiers lying on the ground, in the lobby, and in the wing rooms. They were pale and weak, as if they were suffering from some kind of illness.

At this moment, Han Meng just walked in from outside the escort agency, and several doctors came behind him.

"Young Master, are you awake?" Han Meng immediately greeted Li Xiuyuan and saluted respectfully.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Han Meng, what's going on? Why did all the armored soldiers I brought and the heads of the Escorts fall ill overnight?"

"This, this, Eldest Young Master, the younger one doesn't know either. The younger one woke up last night and saw that all the brothers were sick. The younger one felt that the matter was urgent, so he went out and invited a doctor to see the brothers. , and plan to report this matter to the young master later." Han Meng said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "Your approach is not wrong, and the treatment is indeed very timely. Doctors, you are all famous doctors in the capital. From what you have seen, what kind of disease did my subordinates suffer from? All of them fell ill overnight. fall down?"

Then he saluted the doctors that Han Meng had invited.

A doctor bowed back, and then said: "Young master, according to what this old man sees, this should be a symptom of drowning, plus wind and cold entering the body, it is not a particularly serious emergency."

"Then I'll have to ask some doctors for diagnosis and treatment." Li Xiuyuan said.

But another doctor shook his head and said: "Although all the patients did have symptoms of wind-cold and drowning, it is impossible for them all to fall ill overnight, and it seems that these young master's subordinates have fallen into the water. How did the illness of the person who fell into the water appear? This old man thinks that this should be due to evil spirits entering the body and suddenly becoming ill. I am afraid that your residence has provoked something unclean."

"That's reasonable." The other doctors nodded.

They heal patients, and they don't shy away from things about ghosts and gods, unlike some scholars who keep silent and confuse their spirits at every turn.

Li Xiuyuan's expression sank; "Can the doctors heal you well?"

"Old man, try it first, and then prescribe the right medicine after confirming the symptoms." A doctor walked up to an escort leader who was slumped on the ground, looked at his face, his tongue coating, and felt his pulse.

Finally, he touched the escort's lower abdomen.

However, he saw that the bodyguard's lower abdomen was swollen, and his body exuded a fishy smell, and he looked like a drowning person.

The doctor said: "Doctor Wang, help me, you have to induce the patient to vomit first."

That doctor Wang nodded, and the two of them helped up the bodyguard, and after some massaging, they slapped him hard on the back.

Immediately, the pale escort head bent over and vomited with a wow.

A puddle of stinky river water spewed out, with river grass and river mud in it, which looked like a symptom of a drowning person.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes were serious, because he knew that his subordinates were all in the escort agency yesterday and night, and they didn't go out at all. How could they drown?Even if a few people go out and drown, it is impossible for all of them to drown.

"The water ghosts are making trouble. This is because some water ghosts broke into my bodyguard and caused trouble and harmed people." He had already guessed the general reason for the incident in his heart.

"Wu Xiang, where is Wu Xiang? Is he also sick?"

Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan asked again.

Han Meng replied: "Back to Eldest Young Master, Wu Xiang didn't fall ill, he, he was just sleeping soundly..."
