The Taoist Priest is Catching Ghosts [Liao Zhai]

In the blink of an eye, it was winter in a few days. The candidates who came to Kyoto for the exam all entered Kyoto before the first snow fell, and they found the inn to prepare for their review.

The emperor attached great importance to the spring of next year's spring, and the ministers under him also wrote letters to select several officials who invigilated the examination papers, including Xiaocui's father-in-law Wang Yushi.

The emperor looked at the officials elected by the crowd and nodded secretly. These people are clean and capable people, and it is presumably that this spring will be able to proceed smoothly.Therefore, the emperor personally made a decree and appointed Wang Yushi and several people as invigilators.

After the imperial court, several officials who were acquainted with Wang Yushi came to congratulate him one after another. Naturally, the officials selected by the emperor as invigilators were people who were trusted by the emperor. After the invigilation, Wang Yushi became the examinees The seat teacher has many more connections.

Wang Yushi was naturally happy with the congratulations of these officials. This incident meant that he was in the heart of the emperor and had a bright future in the future.

Just when Wang Yushi was happy, Wang Jishizhong came over suddenly.The officials surrounding Wang Yushi retreated one after another. After all, this adult in the matter is not easy to get along with.

"Wang Yushi is very lucky." Wang said eccentrically during the incident.

"Not as good as Brother Wang." Wang Yushi responded lightly.

"Whoever wants to call you brothers and sisters, don't think too highly of yourself." After finishing speaking, Wang Ge walked away in a huff.

Seeing that there was no good show to watch, the onlookers all left one after another.

And in the house in the southern suburbs, Xie Han was cooking hot pot with Kong Tongyu, Huang Jiulang, and Luo Xing in the yard.

Although the snow had not yet fallen, Xie Han couldn't resist the urge to cook hot pot. He found a copper hot pot and started cooking it on the stove.

Because there were not many vegetables in winter, Xie Han bought a lot of meat. In addition to pork and venison, some sellers saw that Xie Han bought a lot of beef and sold it privately to Xie Han.

"Why don't you buy mutton?" Huang Jiulang asked Xie Han after putting himself a piece of pork into the hot pot.

Xie Han paused, looked at Huang Jiulang quietly, and said seriously, "Don't eat mutton."

Huang Jiulang looked at Xie Han and blinked, then was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "Okay."

Although he didn't know the reason, but Engong told him so solemnly, he still didn't eat mutton.

Seeing Huang Jiulang's cute appearance, Xie Han picked up a chopstick of green vegetables for Huang Jiulang himself.

Huang Jiulang stared blankly at the vegetables in the bowl, and really wanted to say to his benefactor, benefactor!Foxes eat meat.

In the end, Huang Jiulang was swept away by Kong Tongyu's eyes, his body shook, and finally he had to obediently eat all the vegetables in the bowl.

Luo Xing, who was sitting next to Huang Jiulang, couldn't bear it, and gave Huang Jiulang a piece of beef.

The peppers in the pot were tumbling, and a spicy smell came out of the pot. Xie Han fished out the pot belly he wanted to eat, but he choked as soon as he took it in. The hot feeling ran rampant in his throat. Xie Han couldn't help crying.

Kong Tongyu quickly poured a glass of water for Xie Han, Xie Han finally felt better after drinking the water, Kong Tongyu wiped the tears off Xie Han's face with his fingertips, and asked: "Is it better?"

Huang Jiulang was furious when he saw this scene, but he was violently suppressed by Luo Xing and couldn't move, so the party was not ruined.

Xie Han rubbed his chest with his hands, and then said: "It's better."

At this time, the wind blew past, and Xie Han felt a little cool on his face. Looking at the sky, there was already a little snow flying in the air with the north wind.

"It's snowing." Xie Han said.

Kong Tongyu looked towards Xie Han's line of sight, nodded and said: "It's snowing."

The first snow of the year fell.

Xie Han cooks the hot pot in the pavilion. The pavilion has air leaks everywhere, and the wind blowing up the gauze curtain is really annoying.Looking at the exquisite and beautiful gauze curtains around the pavilion, Xie Han hesitated whether to tear off the gauze curtains, so as not to hinder him from cooking hot pot.

At this time, Kong Tongyu made a formula, and suddenly the wind in the pavilion stopped, the gauze curtains did not move, and the space was as warm as spring.

Xie Han gave Kong Tongyu a thankful look, and then buried himself in cooking the hot pot.

Huang Jiulang couldn't help snorting when he saw Kong Tongyu's actions, he can also do this spell!

Luoxing gently rubbed Huang Jiulang's head with his hands, and said, "This is fresh venison, you can try it."

In the end, Huang Jiulang chose to eat meat in anger.

Today, as soon as the snow fell, Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian found an inn before the snow fell.This inn is close to the city, there is a mountain not far away, and the environment is not very good.

But even so, there was only one room left in the inn, and Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian could only live together.Fortunately, the two of them were fairly familiar with each other along the way, and it wasn't awkward to share the same bed.

Most of the people living in the inn were students who came to take the imperial examination, so the environment was fairly clean, and Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian were particularly satisfied with this.

That night, both Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian fell asleep.While Zhu Xiaolian was sleeping in a daze, he suddenly heard the sound of gnawing something from the next door. Zhu Xiaolian didn't pay attention at first, but when he listened carefully, he felt that something was wrong. Who could have such good teeth that they could bite the bones until it creaked? rattle.Then there was the sound of sucking and smacking the lips from the next door.

Zhu Xiaolian was terrified when he thought of the female ghost he saw on the painting wall that day, so he hurriedly woke up Meng Longtan who was sleeping next to him, and asked him to listen carefully to the voices next door.The more Meng Longtan heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and then he said to Zhu Xiaolian: "I'm afraid there may be ghosts at work, you and I should wait until dawn to check."

Zhu Xiaolian nodded, not daring to close his eyes all night, and finally waited until dawn tremblingly, when he got up, Zhu Xiaolian heard someone shouting for death.

After hearing this, Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian got up from the bed, put on their clothes and ran to the next door to check.

As soon as he entered the next room, Zhu Xiaolian wanted to vomit his yellow bile just by looking at it, but Meng Longtan didn't dislike him, after all, many people would pee their pants after seeing it.

The face of the deceased could not be seen clearly, the head was knocked open, everything inside was gone, there were scratches all over the bed, the window facing the mountain was opened, and the window lattice was also full of scratches.

The number of people who came after hearing the cries gradually increased, and most of them didn't dare to look again after taking a look.At this time, someone said: "I know this person. He is the nephew of the Cao family in the Song Dynasty."

All of a sudden, the eyes of a group of people looked at him.

"What's wrong?" The speaker took a step back timidly.

Meng Longtan walked over and said, "Young master, please inform the family of the deceased about the news of the death of this son."

"Okay." The speaker replied blankly. His name was Zhang An, and he lived in this inn a few days ago. He had a few words with the dead Song Yan, and learned that he was the nephew of Song Bu Cao. He came to live in the inn only because something happened to Song Bu Cao's house in the southern suburbs, and he couldn't stop studying. The day before yesterday, he saw a servant from the Song family come to deliver things to Song Yan.

It is not a trivial matter that a son died in the inn, and someone reported it to the official early.When the yamen servant came to check, he couldn't help but gasped, this way of death was really shocking, and ordinary people would never kill like this.

The Wu Zuo brought by the yamen servants inspected Song Yan's body carefully. Unlike Meng Longtan's quick look, Wu Zuo found tooth marks on Song Yan's head and large blood-colored footprints outside the house.

These discoveries surprised Wu Zuo, but they reported it truthfully. Jing Zhaoyin fell into deep thought while looking at Wu Zuo's autopsy records.In the end, in order not to cause panic among the candidates, they decided to press the matter. As for the candidates who were still living in the inn, they were naturally asked to leave the inn.

Actually, needless to say by Jing Zhaoyin, many people have already decided in their hearts to leave this inn, whether they are seeking refuge with relatives or renting a house with their peers, they have to leave this inn.

The innkeeper looked at the people who came to check out one after another, and suddenly had a bitter face, but there was nothing he could do, who told his inn to be dead.

In the inn room, Zhu Xiaolian said to Meng Longtan: "Brother Meng, let's go too."

Meng Longtan glanced at Zhu Xiaolian indifferently, and then said: "You and I have no relatives and no reason in this capital, who will we take refuge in?"

"I..." Zhu Xiaolian was rendered speechless, and then said, "We can live in a Buddhist temple in the mountains."

Meng Longtan sighed and said: "I have seen Song Yan's room, his window is open towards the mountain, and there are many scratches on the window lattice, so the monster came from the mountain, going to the Buddhist temple in the mountain Live, are you rushing to die?"

Zhu Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, and finally asked: "Then what shall we do?"

"Stay one more night and lock the doors and windows," Meng Longtan said.

"it is good."

Uncle Song Yu in the southern suburbs was the last to know about Song Yan's death.It wasn't that Zhang An deliberately delayed the time, but that the southern suburbs were too remote, and he had to search for Uncle Song Yu's residence for a long time.

"Is what you said true?" Uncle Song Yu asked, holding Zhang An's hand tightly.

Although Zhang An's hand was very painful from Uncle Song Yu's grasp, he could understand the mood of the old man in front of him, and Zhang An replied, "What I said is true. Brother Song may have been killed by a monster."

After hearing Zhang An's words, Uncle Song Yu fell to the ground. He lost two relatives in a row within a few days, which really hit him hard. Finally, Uncle Song Yu cried, "I'm sorry, brother."

Uncle Song Yu's heart aches when he thinks of how his elder brother left him on his deathbed. Song Yan is the only heir under his elder brother's knee.

"I will make that evil spirit pay the price." Uncle Song Yu said through gritted teeth, with a fierce look in his eyes, which made people feel frightened.

Zhang An was also shocked, and saw Uncle Song Yu stand up slowly, and said to Zhang An: "Since what happened in that inn, if Mr. Zhang doesn't dislike it, you can stay at my house."

Then Uncle Song Yu said to the servant behind him: "Prepare the car, I'm going to see Daoist Kongtong and Daoist Xie."

But at this moment, a major incident of someone buying and selling imperial examination questions suddenly broke out among the candidates in the capital, and the death of an examiner suddenly broke out, causing panic for a while.

Some things just can't be suppressed anymore.
