The master said not to judge people by their appearance

"Although her soul fire is slightly weaker than ordinary people, as long as she doesn't encounter evil monsters, she will be fine, so don't worry." Shen Fan said.

That's all there is to it.Yuan Wan sighed.

Seeing that the conversation between the two had come to an end, Xie Yunlan said, "Since the matter is over, let's not bother."

This time Yuan Wan didn't stay any longer, she just ordered her servants to come over with a small wooden box, and she handed the box to Shen Fan: "Be careful, please accept it, Master, and I will order someone to give it to Master later. to the house."

Shen Fan's arm sank. Although the box was small, it was not light. He opened it and looked, it was a box of gold.

If ordinary people hold this box of gold in their arms, they will probably be overjoyed, but Shen Fan only feels that it is so heavy and tired from holding it.

On the way out of the mansion, he said to Xie Yunlan: "It's so heavy."

Xie Yunlan looked back at Shen Fan inexplicably, but didn't understand the meaning behind his words.

But during this short period of time, Shen Fan said "so heavy" three times in a row, and every time he said it, he had to look at Xie Yunlan.

Xie Yunlan finally came to his senses belatedly, and was immediately astonished in disbelief.

He confirmed: "You want me to help you?"

Shen Fan nodded happily, and stuffed the box directly into Xie Yunlan's arms.

Xie Yunlan: "..."

He threw the box back and said angrily, "Take it yourself!"

Shen Fan blinked innocently, looking at the box in his hand that was going back and forth, feeling a little distressed.

Wang Tai, who had been following behind, suddenly stepped forward. Although he seemed to be respectful to Shen Fan before, he was actually disdainful in his heart, and he didn't pay much attention to serving Shen Fan, but now he is full of flattery from body to heart to the point of dog legs With a strong temperament, he took the wooden box and said, "Let me carry it for the master."

Xie Yunlan looked at Wang Tai in disbelief, obviously surprised by the change in Wang Tai's attitude before and after.

Wang Tai didn't feel that his behavior was too doggy at all, he was showing respect to an expert, and Lord Hou hadn't witnessed the scene just now, otherwise he must have changed his mind on Shen Fan just like him.

What kind of liar is this, this is a real master!

It wasn't enough for him to help Shen Fan hold the box, when he was about to leave the house, he said thoughtfully: "Master, be careful of the threshold."

Xie Yunlan's gaze was astonished. If it wasn't for Wang Tai's tall and strong figure that ordinary people couldn't imitate, he would have wondered if his personal guard had been transferred.

The carriage was already waiting at the door, and when they were about to board the carriage and leave, someone from the house suddenly chased them out, it was Fang Ping.

"Master!" Fang Ping shouted at Shen Fan, "I have one more thing I want to trouble Master, can I take a step to speak."

When she spoke, her expression was solemn, and she was also inexplicably nervous, as if she was about to say something important.

Shen Fan thought it was something related to Xie Chong, so he followed him to the side.

Xie Yunlan and Wang Tai watched from a distance, and saw that after Fang Ping said a word, Shen Fan frowned suddenly, this was a rare expression, Shen Fan didn't know if it was because of the stupefied energy in his character, He had always been indifferent in dealing with people, but the scene where the real Lingbao was possessed by evil spirits just now, everyone was terrified, only Shen Fan didn't even twitch his brows.

But at this moment, he frowned and replied to Fang Ping, and when he got on the carriage, his brows had not been loosened.

Xie Yunlan looked curiously, and asked, "What did she say to you?"

Shen Fan was a little depressed and said: "She asked me if I could help her calculate the marriage."

Xie Yunlan: "...is it a marriage?"

Shen Fan nodded.

He didn't understand why so many people came to him and didn't ask him about his business, but only asked him if he would be married. The women he met at the stall before were Fang Ping, and even Xie Yunlan in front of him.

"Then will you count as marriage?" Xie Yunlan asked.

Shen Fan's brows furrowed even deeper, and he replied twice more than the first time he didn't know how many times: "I don't know how to count marriage."

"Really not?" Xie Yunlan raised his eyebrows.

Shen Fan didn't understand why Fang Ping wanted to ask about marriage, but he understood, it was because he had taken a fancy to Shen Fan's face, and wanted to find out what Shen Fan meant by asking about marriage.

"No." Shen Fan said seriously, "If you ask me again, I will get angry."

These words were a little threatening. Xie Yunlan was not afraid, but was amused by him. There were many people who threatened him. Peel off his skin and use it to make a manger for feeding horses. These threats are all fierce and powerful. Shen Fan's "I will get angry if you ask me again" sounds lacklustre, not threatening, but rather coquettish.

An inexplicable thought rose in Xie Yunlan's heart, making him want to tease and bully Shen Fan for no reason at this moment, he deliberately said: "What will happen if you get angry?"

Shen Fan glanced at him: "You can try."

Just try it.Xie Yunlan raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask again, but before he could speak, he suddenly realized that his behavior was a bit naive, only brats like to bully little girls like this, why is he bullying Shen Fan?He is not a kid, and Shen Fan is not a little girl, although this guy looks better than most of the little girls, but... Forget it, Xie Yunlan didn't ask after all.

"What kind of evil is that master exorcising from the eldest princess's mansion?" Xie Yunlan asked about something serious. Although he had already heard Yuan Wan explain it, he still wanted to hear what Shen Fan said.

Speaking of this, Shen Fan also remembered what he wanted to tell Xie Yunlan earlier: "This evil spirit is a monster from the underworld."

Xie Yunlan: "The Nether monster? Didn't you say that the Nether is a place of reincarnation? Why are there still monsters there?"

"These monsters used to be monsters, and they may not be monsters. They may be humans, beasts, or vegetation spirits." Shen Fan explained, "The cycle of life and death is the order of heaven, but there are always some souls who are unwilling to enter the cycle."

"The Nether is the land of the dead. The dead air is gloomy, and there are many souls of unjust death in the world. Therefore, in addition to the dead air, there are more resentment and evil spirits. These are the things that are most likely to give birth to demons. Together, they form the eternal darkness of the Netherworld. Those souls who don't want to enter the reincarnation wander in the eternal darkness with unfinished obsessions. Some gradually think about it, and their obsessions dissipate and return to the order of reincarnation. Some can't think about it, and they slowly erode in the darkness. Turned into a monster."

"The ghost monsters are all dead souls. They don't have a flesh and blood body, so they can't come to the world, but someone opened the ghost entrance, released these monsters, and sealed them into the longevity tablet."

"Longevity tablet?" Xie Yunlan's heart moved, thinking of the longevity tablet in the ancestral hall of the eldest princess's house, "Are you talking about those made by Li Henian?"

Shen Fan: "Li Henian?"

"It's Master Tongxuan, the national teacher." Xie Yunlan said.

Shen Fan thought for a while and said, "It's him."

Xie Yunlan confirmed: "You mean, there are ghost monsters hidden in the longevity tablet made by the national teacher?"

"Yes." Shen Fan confirmed, "The aura of a monster still remains on the tablet of longevity."

Xie Yunlan looked at him fixedly: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Shen Fan tilted his head in doubt: "Of course I know."

Xie Yunlan said in his heart that you don't know that you are slandering the current imperial teacher, which is a capital offense.

But... that's exactly what he wanted.He had always wanted to bring down Li Henian, and was worried about setting up a name for him to frame him. If Shen Fan was given such a big hat, as long as it was confirmed, Li Henian would definitely be executed.

However, there is no need to rush this matter. In the current situation, if he reports Shen Fan's remarks, it will not be Li Henian who will be executed, but Shen Fan who slandered the national teacher with nonsense.

While he was thinking about it, Shen Fan said again: "Although this tablet of longevity is sealed with a ghost monster, this monster has never made trouble, if it wasn't for that..." He paused again.

"Princess Changping." She couldn't remember how many times she said it, but Xie Yunlan said speechlessly, "Do you remember my name?"

After he asked, he suddenly remembered that Shen Fan probably couldn't remember, or didn't know his name at all. He had never introduced his name, and ordinary people called him Lord Hou, Lord Xie, and Marquis Xuanwu. .

But Shen Fan said, "I remember you."

Shen Fan looked at him: "Xie Yunlan."

Xie Yunlan's heart skipped a beat, he didn't know if it was because no one had called him by his name directly for a long time, or because the person calling his name was Shen Fan.

"This monster has never made trouble. If it wasn't for the fact that Princess Changping's soul fire is weaker than ordinary people, and he is affected by evil spirits and has nightmares every night, this matter should not be noticed." Shen Fan didn't pay attention to Xie Yunlan's distraction, and continued on his own.

Xie Yunlan also quickly adjusted back, following Shen Fan's words and asked: "You mean that Li Henian sealed these monsters into the longevity tablet for another purpose? What is he going to do?"

"I don't know, this longevity card is a bit like a formation. I need to see the positions of all the longevity cards in the city to know what kind of formation it is." Shen Fan corrected another point, "It may not be Li Henian. These monsters are sealed into the Longevity Tablet, and ordinary mortals do not have the power to connect with the ghosts to control the monsters, and those who do all this should be people possessed by demons."

"Of course, Li Henian is the most suspect. You need to help me investigate two things. One, Li Henian at the Temple of Longevity, and two, the number and location of all longevity tablets in the city." Shen Fan ordered bluntly.

He said it lightly, and didn't think about the difficulty of these two things at all. The longevity tablet was bestowed by the emperor. The exact number and which minister it was given to is probably only known by the emperor himself, and Li Henian is the current national teacher. The status is more noble than the prime minister, and now he is retreating to pray for blessings, and he can't even see him, so why talk about investigation.

But Xie Yunlan did not refuse, but showed that sincere and respectful smile again: "This matter is on my shoulders, master, don't worry."

Shen Fan was actually not at ease, because Xie Yunlan had such an expression every time he answered him, he almost thought that the other party was lying to him, although today it proved that Xie Yunlan did not lie to him, and indeed he was looking for him, but this time is too late. It's been a while.

"This matter should be done as soon as possible." Shen Fan urged, "The Longevity Card has been placed in the princess' mansion for a while, but Princess Changping didn't have a nightmare until recently, indicating that the power of the monster is increasing. If I expected it to be true, The date for the activation of this formation is also approaching."

"Okay, I will do it as soon as possible." Xie Yunlan agreed without hesitation.
