Chapter 131 Give me back my life
"Young Taoist priest, is there anything unusual in this house?"

When he returned to the front hall, Boss Zhao was already waiting there. He looked at Li Daoxuan coming back and a smile appeared on his face.

"I just observed that the evil energy in this house is too strong. We need to eliminate the evil and clear the source. I wonder if your father had been to other places before he fell ill? If he had only lived in this house, he would not have been contaminated by the evil energy." Li Daoxuan told Boss Zhao what he had seen, pointing to the Feng Shui furnishings in the front hall, but he concealed the fact that he had seen the female ghost in red in the backyard and did not tell him immediately.

Laojun shed tears of blood, and the people in red sang mourning songs.

As long as you are not blind, you will naturally understand the meaning of this.

When Boss Zhao heard this, a trace of contempt and disdain flashed across his face, but it disappeared in an instant. He said with an open mind, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of the affairs of the courtyard. If you need anything, just tell me. My father went to the ancestral hall before he died, but it's not suitable to go there today. I'll take you there tomorrow."

Ancestral hall? After hearing this, Li Daoxuan became alert to the ancestral hall.

Judging from what Boss Zhao said, this ancestral hall might be the purpose of his visit this time.

But the Zhao family was not in a hurry, and Li Daoxuan was not in a hurry either. He bowed to Boss Zhao calmly and said with a frank smile: "Then I'll trouble you, Young Master."

"should."

The two exchanged pleasantries and chatted for a long time.

Boss Zhao asked someone to arrange accommodation for Li Daoxuan. After seeing his figure go away, a gloomy look appeared on his face, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Finally, he touched the jade ring on his palm.

"You are a sensible person. I just don't know whether you have seen something or not. But it doesn't matter whether you can see it or not. Zhao will not let you leave alive." Boss Zhao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and muttered to himself sinisterly.

Li Daoxuan naturally could not hear what Boss Zhao said. He followed the servants to their temporary residence in the front hall.

Pushing the door open, there was a simply decorated room with simple furnishings and only a bed and bedding.

There is a mosquito net hanging over the bed to prevent all kinds of insects from crawling in. After all, the weather is getting warmer now, and poisonous insects and mosquitoes are beginning to appear. If there is no mosquito net to block it, I am afraid it will be difficult to fall asleep.

The room smelled like it had been smoked with herbs, and there was powder like realgar sprinkled in the corners.

This is a must-do when you move into a house that has been unused for a long time, to keep insects and pests away.

After all, if no one lives in the house for a long time, there will definitely be a lot of things hidden in the house. For example, if you use this herb to fumigate, cockroaches, centipedes, snakes and the like will all be smoked away.

This is especially important in the south. If you don't fumigate your home every now and then, poisonous insects will crawl all over the house. This is why the ancients called the south a place of exile for poisonous miasma. The environment is damp and unbearable, and there are many poisonous insects. Living in such an environment for a long time will naturally make you sick and short-lived.

But it is not so different now. After thousands of years of cultivation and operation, the South is no longer the same as it was before.

The servants left and Li Daoxuan looked at the room alone. Although the servants had made some adjustments, Li Daoxuan was still not satisfied.

Li Daoxuan took out a talisman, held it in his hand, and walked around the room three times, chanting: "The natural world, the foul air disperses. The mysterious void in the cave, the bright Taiyuan. The mighty gods of the eight directions make me natural. The spiritual treasure talisman command, announce it to the nine heavens. Qianluo Dana, Donggang Taixuan. Slay demons and bind evil, save thousands of people. Hurry up and obey the order!"

He stepped on the Gangdou and used the talisman to drive it away in the house. Then he pointed at the wall, and the yellow talisman flew out and stuck to the wall.

The originally cold and gloomy atmosphere in the room suddenly cleared up, and a few stubborn centipedes that were still hiding hurriedly crawled out.

Seeing this, Li Daoxuan nodded with satisfaction. He finally felt safe and secure living in this house.

He put down the sword box and thought carefully about everything that had happened today.

The woman in red led him into the house, probably because she wanted to do more than just let him see the room, right?

Li Xiangyu, could this be the name of the woman in red before she died? But why did she not leave yet, and why did she stay in this house? There were many strange things going on. If he wanted to find out, he had to go into the inner courtyard at night to investigate.

And there was also the ancestral hall. Perhaps there was something even more strange inside. He had to go and take a look.

Li Daoxuan made some plans in his mind and began to conserve his energy.

When it was time for dinner, Boss Zhao sent someone to invite him, and Li Daoxuan happily went. At the table, Boss Zhao entertained him warmly and asked him how to clear the yin and dispel the evil spirits, and Li Daoxuan answered all of them one by one.

The host and the guest had a very pleasant conversation, and Boss Zhao had a happy smile on his face.

"I never thought that although the young Taoist priest is so young, he has so much knowledge. I have traveled all over the country, and it is rare to see someone as smart as the young Taoist priest." Boss Zhao praised.

"Master, you are too kind. I have only read some books and know more things. In terms of knowledge, I am far inferior to you, Master." Li Daoxuan responded with a smile.

"How many people in the world can read? How many people have the knowledge of the young Taoist priest? The Taoist priest and I hit it off right away, and we felt like brothers. My second brother just died, and I was very sad." The eldest brother Zhao raised his wine and drank it. When he mentioned the second brother Zhao, his face was sad. His voice was choked with sobs, his eyes were red, he wiped away his tears with his sleeves, and bowed his head to Li Daoxuan and said.

"My condolences, eldest master. Although the second young master is gone, he may have gone to the underworld to enjoy happiness. When your father wakes up, I will perform a ritual for the second young master so that he can enjoy eternal happiness." Taoist Priest Li said frankly, but he was secretly laughing in his heart, admiring the acting skills of Boss Zhao. He looked like a child of only ten years old at this time, so how could he feel like a brother at first sight?

"Thank you, Taoist Priest Zhao." Boss Zhao said happily.

After drinking some more tea, it was getting late.

Li Daoxuan asked Boss Zhao for some things for the ritual, and Boss Zhao agreed to all of them.

In this way, the sun and the moon alternated. The moon rose and the stars came out, and the Zhao family's old house also sank into the twilight.

As the sun rose and the moon dimmed, the negative energy that was already strong in the old house began to become active.

The lit candles floated unsteadily in the gloomy air, and a cold wind blew, bringing up countless goose bumps on people's skin.

Except for the servants who were on night watch, everyone else had gone back into the house to rest.

Li Daoxuan sat on the bed, meditating and practicing.

But at this moment, a scream was heard outside the house. Someone was screaming and shouting everywhere: "There is a ghost! There is a ghost! Someone is dead! Someone is dead!"

The yard suddenly became noisy. Upon hearing the noise, Li Daoxuan stopped practicing, stood up, put on his clothes, and pushed the door open to rush out.

Then he saw a man in the hall panicking and shouting everywhere. When he saw Li Daoxuan, he showed a look of surprise, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Li Daoxuan's arm, and shouted in panic: "Master, hurry up, go and save him!"

"What happened?"

"Someone's dead! A ghost killed someone!!" the servant said in horror.

"Take me there!" Li Daoxuan did not hesitate and immediately asked the servant to take him there.

People gradually came into the room and followed him towards the place where the dead body was.

Everyone followed the man and quickly came to the toilet. They raised their lanterns to light up the place. The scene in front of them scared everyone so much that their faces turned pale.

I saw a servant hanging by the neck with a red ribbon on the beam of the toilet, swaying slightly.

His face was hideous and ferocious, with a large portion of his tongue sticking out of his mouth. Blood was dripping from his tongue, dripping into the pit.

"what!"

Everyone was terrified, and Li Daoxuan reached out to stop them from making noise.

He walked forward with a lantern in hand, ignoring the stench of the pit, and shone it on the wall, where he saw a line of bloody words appear.

"Give me back my life!!"
