Chen Wei raised his eyes and saw a small gatehouse erected in the middle of the road, about two people high and wide enough to accommodate two carriages.
Downstairs, four or five villagers were carrying hoes and were about to plow the fields. When they saw the three people coming, they turned around and ran away in fright!
"Run!"
……
Chapter 220 The Chen Mansion!
"Run!"
"It's so strange, why are you running in such a hurry? Wow! Run!"
"Run, run, run!"
Shi'er led the way, and the people in the town retreated wherever they passed, as if they had seen a ghost.
It wasn't until Shi'er walked over that the avoiding crowd came out one after another, complaining as they walked:
"Really, the ghost catcher's son has come out again!"
"That's right, catching ghosts will become ghosts sooner or later!"
"This kind of person is cut off from all children and grandchildren!"
……
Chen Wei listened to the discussions coming from around, thoughtful.
It seems that in the hearts of the common people in this era, hunting ghosts is a very taboo thing.
That's right, the common people are ignorant and avoid things about ghosts and ghosts, even Taoist priests who are related to ghosts and ghosts, thinking that as long as they stay away from these things, ghosts and ghosts will not come to them.
However, the sad thing is that when they really encountered ghosts, they could only come to the door to ask Taoist priests for help.
And this is a world where humans, ghosts and monsters coexist...
……
Chen Wei shook his head, seeing Shi'er coming to a needlework stall, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pulled Cui Shusheng forward and rushed over.
"Wow, the two of them..." Cui Shusheng's eyes flickered with gossip.
I saw Shi'er took out a steamed bun from the cage, and handed it to the younger sister next to the needlework girl. The little girl was only four or five years old, and when she saw the steamed bun, she smiled and narrowed her eyes:
"Brother, you are here to buy sister's needlework again."
Shi'er picked up another ball of needlework from the booth, took out a copper coin and put it in front of him, smiling very honestly.
The girl patted her younger sister's head, looked at the little Taoist priest in front of her, lowered her head shyly, and said in a soft voice, "Thank you..."
……
The man is affectionate, and the concubine is interested.
Unfortunately, reality is not a fairy tale.
Shi'er is a little Taoist priest who spends a lot of time with ghosts and ghosts. He has no money and avoids suspicion. Ordinary people would never marry their children to him.
For a young girl to show her face and set up a stall to sell needles and threads, her family life must be poor, and in this day and age, marriage matters cannot be decided by themselves.
The two are just destined to have nothing to do with each other.
Chen Wei didn't go up to bother the two of them, but looked left and right, and suddenly saw the dental shop.
"Brother Cui, I'll go inside for a walk, you go with the little Taoist first, and I'll go find you when I'm done."
After patting Cui Shusheng on the shoulder, Chen Wei said goodbye to the two and went straight into the dental clinic.
"Hey..." Cui Shusheng raised his hand, but he thought that his bookcase was still in Shi'er's hand, and he hadn't landed yet, so he could only wait for Shi'er.
……
"Yo, my lord, please sit down! Come and sit here!"
In the tooth shop, a skinny little old man saw customers coming to the door. He took a look and saw that Chen Wei's clothes were either rich or expensive!
It's just that this young man is dressed strangely, doesn't he look like a local?
The little old man thought to himself.
"Master, do you want to find a place to live?" The little old man poured out a cup of hot tea attentively.
Chen Wei frowned, pushed the tea away, and said bluntly: "I want to buy a garden in the town."
The little old man's smile was too treacherous, and his eyes kept slanting into his backpack, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
However, people who do dental work these days are all well-connected, most of them are exclusive businesses, and they should not do black business.
Chen Wei was too lazy to talk nonsense, so in order to avoid trouble, he took out his dagger and slapped it on the table, and then stated his request.
Don't live in a place that is too busy, the residence can be a little bit out of the way, but the area should be large, the bigger the better!
When the little old man saw the dagger, he was startled, and some thoughts in his heart dissipated.
"There is really a place that meets the requirements of the young master. It used to be the famous squire's mansion in our Heishui Town. It is located in the north of the town and has all kinds of pavilions!"
The little old man rolled his eyes, and found a place according to Chen Wei's request from the book.
"only……"
"Just what?"
"It's just that after the master of this courtyard was killed by the Nine Clans, that area was completely desolate. I don't know, my lord..."
"It doesn't matter, I don't care."
"Okay, since that's the case, why don't I take the young master to have a look today!"
The little old man looked happy, and immediately stood up!
He didn't lie, that area was indeed the mansion of a squire, let alone Heishui Town, even if he went to the county town, it would be difficult to find such a luxurious courtyard.
It's just that there used to be ghosts and ghosts in that place, and although they disappeared later, no one dared to live there.Rich people have already spent money to build new mansions, and they would not spend this unjustly money to live in this desolate place haunted by ghosts.
……
After Chen Wei came out, Cui Shusheng and Shi'er were nowhere to be seen.
But Chen Wei knew that the two lived in the town, so he was not in a hurry to find them.
The two turned left and right, passed half of the town, and crossed the Stone Water Bridge. The noise in the town gradually disappeared, and then they came to the place.
As far as the eye can see, several courtyards are scattered among the mountains and forests.
"My lord, have you seen the biggest courtyard? It's there!" Ya Xing introduced as he walked, "The courtyard next to it is also a place for the gentry, a place for his descendants to live in, and now it's desolate. Why do you like this place, my lord?" You can choose any of them!"
Chen Wei listened to the introduction of the tooth shop, and looked at the surrounding environment.
This place is really good. If it is placed in modern times, it will definitely be a top-notch villa area in the suburbs. There are large courtyards with several entrances and exits, water pavilions and pavilions. Not to mention the high greening rate, it also looks particularly elegant.
Although it looks desolate now, as long as it is tidied up, it will definitely be a good place.
"That's the biggest one... Eh, Wumenju?" Chen Wei paused, looking at the plaque in a nearby courtyard.
Isn't this where Shi'er and Yan Chixia lived?
His spiritual sense sensed that Shi'er and Cui Shusheng were cleaning up the house inside.
What a coincidence!
Chen Wei showed a smile, and was about to go in. Yaxing's expression changed, and he quickly stopped Chen Wei: "My lord! This place is not allowed, this place is not for sale!"
"Oh? Why is that?" Chen Wei looked at the little old man.
……
"Someone has already bought it here!"
"Really? Then why is this place still so desolate?" Chen Wei's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Hmph! If you dare to lie to me, don't blame my sword for not having eyes!"
After all, the little old man's eyes were dazzled by the sword light, and when he came back to his senses, a bamboo next to him had been split in two from the middle!
The little old man's legs trembled, and he felt a chill in his back!
Not daring to lie anymore, the little old man was sweating on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "This is actually the place where Taoist priests live..."
That's how Chen Wei found out that after the squires were exterminated, their ghosts lingered and turned into ghosts to occupy the place. Later, a Taoist priest called Yan Chixia came to catch ghosts.After Yan Chixia wiped out the ghosts, she chose a courtyard here to live in.
The people in Yaxing didn't dare to expel Yan Chixia. After reporting to the county government, the people in the government knew that Yan Chixia had been a head arrester, so they didn't dare and were unwilling to take care of her.
So there's no way to sell it here.
Living in the wilderness with ghost hunters as neighbors, who would like that, maybe one day they will run into evil spirits!
……
Sure enough, you can't be fooled by money. How can a foreigner who can wander alone be deceived so easily? Now, if the mansion is not sold, it may even cause trouble.
In this wilderness, he is a little old man with no strength to restrain a chicken, even if he is killed and thrown in the wilderness, no one will find him.
The little old man groaned in his heart, and smiled apologetically:
"Young master, I have other places here, why don't we go and look elsewhere!"
"No need! Just here!"
Next to Wumen Residence is the largest courtyard where the country gentry lives. When you look up, you can vaguely see the name of the mansion covered by cobwebs.
Chen Wei waved his hand excitedly, and the name on the plaque disappeared immediately.
He took out the short sword and waved it with sword energy, and two large characters were carved on the stone plaque at the door,
"Chen Mansion"!
Chapter 221 Ghost King Nine-Tailed Fox!
He threw out an ingot of gold and sent the tooth shop away. Under the delighted eyes of the little old man, Chen Wei stepped into the courtyard.
"My lord, I'll go back and bring Qizi to you!"
The little old man carefully put the gold ingot into his arms, and disappeared in a flash.
For the tooth shop, the courtyard here is a no-cost business, as long as it is sold, it is profitable!
In today's troubled times, if you can get a large ingot of gold in this trip, although you don't make a lot of money, it's not bad.
……
"Xiao Daoist, there seems to be a voice next door..."
Cui Shusheng was drying the calligraphy posts in the yard, when he suddenly heard a faint sound from the mansion next door, he turned to ask Shi'er.
Shi'er nodded, thought for a while, jumped to the roof, and glanced at the situation next door.
After a while, he suddenly jumped down happily, smiled and waved to Shusheng Cui, motioning to go out with him.
"Wow……"
As soon as the two entered the yard, Cui Shusheng made a sound of emotion.
With a wave of Chen Wei's hand, the dust in the last room swirled and gathered in one place, and then the wind in the yard blew up, gathering all the fallen leaves and garbage in one place, and with a flick of his fingers, they threw them into the deep mountains.
Turning around, he smiled at the two of them and said, "Brother Cui, Daoist Master, you are here!"
Shi'er ran up to Chen Wei excitedly, opened his mouth to speak, but subconsciously covered his mouth, danced and pointed at the room, then pointed at Chen Wei, thought for a while, and then pointed at himself.
What does it mean?
"You want to learn this?" Chen Wei asked suspiciously.
Shi'er nodded, then shook his head again, struggled for a while, made a solemn gesture, and suddenly said:
"I'm Shi'er, I'm studying under Yan Chixia, a casual cultivator, and I'm here to clean up."
Although the master punished him for not speaking, it also depends on the situation, and now when meeting people of the same faith, there are still some rules.
He excitedly said to Chen Wei: "You are the first fellow I have ever met!"
"Oh, so you are not dumb!" Cui Shusheng said in surprise.
Shi'er scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I always said wrong things before and often made Master angry, so I was banned by Master, and I was not allowed to speak until Master came back."
"So that's the case." Cui Shusheng nodded, and then asked in confusion, "Then why did you suddenly speak again?"
