I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

After attending the county magistrate's banquet, Ji Zihe and the others began to pack their things and plan to go home.It's a pity that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Early the next morning, people came outside the temple, saying that the county magistrate had come to invite Ji Xiucai to come over to the mansion.

The county magistrate still has to give face, Ji Zihe and the others gave up their plan to go home today, and got into the carriage sent by the county magistrate to pick them up together.

Zhang Yudan was not in the temple. Speaking of which, Zhang Yudan bought the temple for his own study.As a result, during the time Ji Zihe lived here, he didn't spend many days studying in the monastery. Instead, he ran out every day, socializing and entertaining.If he was here today, he would definitely follow Ji Zihe and the others to the county magistrate's mansion, after all, he was still thinking about the girl.

After getting off the carriage, they saw the county magistrate waiting at the door, which made Ji Zihe and the others feel very flattered.They are just two scholars, and they don't have official positions, so He Dehe Neng was able to bother the county magistrate to pick them up in person.

Because of this, Bones was not stopped by the door god when he entered the door, and he was counted as a guest welcomed by the host's house after he got Ji Zihe's light, and followed Ji Zihe through the main entrance swaggeringly.

Lu Gong led Ji Zihe and two to the flower hall, and then he called the servants to serve good tea, and after a long exchange of greetings, he went to the main topic.

"I don't know what the lord called Xiaosheng to come here?" Ji Zihe asked.

"Ji Xiaoyou remembers that my daughter bought a pair of calligraphy from you a few days ago."

"Xiaosheng remembers."

"Oh, Ji Xiaoyou, you are my little girl's great benefactor. Yaoxian, why don't you come out and thank your benefactor in person." Duke Lu shouted.

"Yes, Father." Lu Yaoxian came out from behind the screen, wearing a long skirt and holding a scroll in her arms.The heroic figure of the past has faded away, and now she has a bit of the delicate beauty of a girl in a boudoir.

"Thank you Mr. Ji for saving your life." Lu Yaoxian bowed slightly to Ji Zihe.

Ji Zihe hurriedly stood up, gave him a little support, and said, "Sister, what are you doing? I can't dare to accept this gift. When have I ever saved you?"

Lu Yaoxian looked at Duke Lu, who took a step forward and said, "Young Ji, you don't need to be modest, your calligraphy saved the life of a little girl, so you deserve this gift."

Seeing that Ji Zihe was still full of doubts, Duke Lu came again, "A few days ago, my little girl was haunted by nightmares at night and worried all day long. I couldn't find the reason. Until a few days ago, my little girl got your ohh calligraphy and hung it on the wall. At night, the little girl saw a dragon in her dream. The dragon drove away all the ghosts, opened the little girl's bed, and burned a straw man. The next day, when the little girl woke up, she found a charred straw man under the bed. "

"This, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with me. It must be because of your good deeds and virtues, my lord, that saved my sister from danger." Ji Zihe said.

"I didn't believe it at first, but a few days ago, a dragon warned me in my dream and helped me escape. And that dragon is exactly the same as the dragon in this painting."

Ji Zihe immediately thought of the re-search of the second round of the court exam. No wonder County Magistrate Lu was so polite to them. Even if it was just because of his daughter, he wouldn't lower his attitude so low.

"That night, the dragon in the painting said that my relationship with me was gone, and he flew into the sky. The next morning, someone said that he saw a golden light flying out of my house at night. Looking at this painting again, the dragon in the painting really disappeared." Lu The public sighed, took the scroll from Lu Yaoxian's hand and unfolded it, the painting was really blank.

"This..." How did he explain this? He didn't know that the paintings he drew had this kind of function. They were all normal when they were in his hands.

"Cousin, when did you learn this supernatural power!" Ning Caichen was shocked.

Ji Zihe: ... I don't know either, thank you.

"It is said that the painting is not ordinary. There is a kind of energy in that painting. The dragon master is auspicious and can ward off evil and avoid disasters. Now the dragon disappears in this painting, it must be because of the exhaustion of power. I told you to turn the painting Give it to me, you are not familiar with these mortals, why waste the painting on them." Bones floated in front of Ji Zihe and complained, the look in his eyes that looked at the painting was very regrettable, so much so that now he wanted to beat it Exploding Ji Zihe's dog's head made him refuse to listen.

Ji Zihe didn't look sideways, and muttered silently in his heart, whether he listened or not, he didn't hear anything, he didn't see anything!

"Xiaoyou Ji, I still have something to ask." Duke Lu suddenly cupped his hands and bowed to Ji Zihe.

"Your Excellency is like this, Xiaosheng deserves it." Ji Zihe also bent down.

"You don't have to be humble, Ji Xiaoyou. Since you have such supernatural powers, you should be a good person to the end and help my little girl!"

"What do you mean by your lord's words?"

"Well, I come from a famous family in the capital, and I was an official in the capital for a period of time when I was young. I was young and frivolous at that time, and I offended some people in the officialdom, and was caught by the enemies, but because of the elders in the family, I was not dismissed from office. , was relegated to Zhaoyuan County to be the county magistrate. I think the grass man under my daughter’s bed must have been released by the Chou’s family. Because of the care of the elders, the Chou’s family did not dare to hurt people directly, so they used some crooked methods to harm me. Although the grass The person has been burned, but there is another demon fox at home, and I also invited some Taoist priests to catch the demon, but they can do nothing to it, and ask Ji Xiaoyou for help." Lu Gong lowered his posture and begged, and Lu Gong and his daughter did the same.

"Look at how sincere they are, then you just promise him, you have Yansheng's sword bag in hand, ordinary monsters can't hurt you." Bone said uncharacteristically.

Ji Zihe was puzzled, but Gu Gu said confidently, "You caused me to lose my painting, so you have to catch monsters to compensate me, or I'll eat your big cousin!"

Ji Zihe raised his eyebrows and boiled you!

The bones were leaking, and I almost forgot that this kid still eats soft and not hard, "I don't know what this Lord Lu has done to hurt the sky, or who he really offended. There is more than one evil spirit in this mansion. You If you don't help them, I'm afraid that dozens of people in this mansion will have to play, tsk tsk, so many innocent people, it's really pitiful."

Ji Zihe thought for a while, "Let's try it, Xiaosheng. It's just that Xiaosheng has little talent and learning, so I can't guarantee that I can get rid of the monster. I hope adults don't give too much hope."

"Don't worry Ji Xiaoyou, even if you can't get rid of the demon, I will definitely thank you."

Ji Zihe felt a little relieved, "My lord, where is that fox demon now?"

"The demon fox came at midnight and at three o'clock, and left at five o'clock with the crowing of the rooster. The demon fox has powerful mana, and once said that the spell on paper could not do anything to it. Yaoxian pretended to be deceived and learned that he was afraid that Beishan would wear a broad hat and hold a song. A man of Xiang Bing. I sent people to Beishan to look for it. The local people said that a farmer once drove away the fox demon for a noble woman in the south of Shannan. However, the farmer had passed away a few days ago. Only then did I learn that the fox demon did it on purpose. He is playing tricks on us. The fox demon said that he will come to marry Yaoxian tonight, if Ji Xiaoyou can't subdue this demon, Yaoxian will go to marry that fox." Lu Gong was full of sorrow, and Lu Yaoxian covered his face and wept at the right time.

Ji Zihe looked at the two of them, feeling that something was wrong.
