The daylight hours passed quickly.

At night, Lu Zhenghe lay on the bed, waiting for the performance of the old Taoist priest.

Soon, a coldness suddenly filled the air, and then a faint yin energy bloomed.

Coming!

Lu Zheng jumped up and stood up, but before he could make any move, he heard several noises coming from the backyard.

　"咒!"

　A hoarse voice sounded, followed by bursts of ringing.

Lu Zheng opened the window and saw the old Taoist priest standing in the courtyard holding a brass bell, with a steel bucket under his feet, holding a curse seal in his hand, his eyes bright and focused, and he was mumbling something.

And the ghost boy was floating in the air, laughing and screaming, advancing and retreating around the old Taoist priest, erratic.

What a cool scene. Although it is not as good as the Peach Blossom Village battlefield that day, it is enough to scare ordinary people.

Perhaps seeing Lu Zheng show up, the fight between the old Taoist priest and the ghost boy became more intense.

The ghost boy stirred up gusts of cold wind, making the dark wind howl in the small courtyard. The bell in the old Taoist priest's hand shook rapidly, triggering bursts of golden light.

For a time, one person and one ghost were fighting back and forth.

But... Lu Zheng frowned. The ringing was a bit noisy. Will it affect the sleep of the neighbors?

As Lu Zheng frowned, the old Taoist priest probably felt that the performance was almost done. He looked at the ghost boy a little, then pinched his fingerprints, and pointed to the bell in his hand.

Then the ghost boy screamed, turned into a white light, and suddenly got into the bell.

"Huh——"

The old Taoist priest took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his head, then held the bell in one hand and stroked his beard with the other, and rushed to the landing with an indifferent expression. Zheng nodded slightly, "This ghost has been captured by the old Taoist, you can rest assured!"

　"Squeak——"

The bedroom door was pushed open, and in In the old Taoist priest's stunned eyes, a strong warrior blood energy and a pure Taoist energy suddenly burst out.

The next moment, holding a knife in one hand and a talisman in the other, Lu Zheng stepped out.

Old Taoist priest: Σ(°△°|||)︴

“Taoist?” Lu Zheng seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Young master, what are you doing..." The old Taoist priest managed to squeeze out a smile, "I didn't expect that the young master also has cultivation level..."

"Taoist Master? "Lu Zheng raised the knife in his hand again.

“Bang!”

Without saying a word, the old Taoist priest knelt down straight in the next moment.

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, so skilled?

"Young Master Rongzhen, I just want to swindle some money and things. I never thought of seeking money or killing people!"

"The gloomy appearance is distorted together, but it becomes more... A sense of joy.

"As an old man, I just walk around the streets and make a living, and I have never done anything harmful to the world. Please forgive me, sir!"

"Hmph, that ghost boy What's going on?"

"The ghost boy died of illness. He is already dead. The old Taoist just took his soul on the day of his burial. The old Taoist has never killed anyone in his life, Master! "

Lu Zheng curled his lips, put the exorcism charm in his arms, then stretched out his hand towards the old Taoist priest, focusing his eyes on the brass bell.

The old Taoist priest looked troubled.

Lu Zheng raised the knife in his hand again.

The old Taoist priest immediately stood up, hunched over and handed the bell to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng took the bell, walked to the stone bench under the persimmon tree and sat down, "Tell me about it."

"Tell me...what did you say?"

“Dang!”

Lu Zheng knocked the ground with his knife.

"I am a native of Mozhou. I wandered around after fleeing from the war. Later, I accidentally entered a stranger's tomb and obtained the fragments of spiritual practice and this brass bell. From then on, I have been..."< br />
…

Sure enough, although this old Taoist priest is not without any ability, in fact, he is indeed an old liar.

The whole body's abilities are nothing more than a fragment of spiritual practice, a method of exorcising souls and nourishing souls, and a brass bell obtained from a tomb.

And his secret method of driving away souls and nourishing souls must use this bell as a medium. It is no wonder that when Lu Zheng just stretched out his hand, he showed a look of reluctance.

"Why are you targeting me?" Lu Zheng smacked his knife again.

"I heard that you are newly settled here. Not only do you live alone, but you also opened a sugar shop. I guess you don't have a deep foundation and no connections, so..."

The eyes of the old Taoist priest were full of regret. He had been hunting geese all year round, but he finally got pecked in the eye!

“Why don’t you just go back to the west of the city when you take back the ghost boy, but you have to go around from the north or south of the city?”

This is the most melancholy point of Lu Zheng. If you are the first Just go straight back to the west of the city, and Lu Zheng won't be suspicious.I've been scaring myself all day!

The old Taoist priest glanced at Lu Zheng secretly, "There is also a main street in the county town, and the city god's Yin soldiers are stationed at night. I, I don't dare to let the little ghost walk into the city..."

Lu Zheng, "..."

He understood the old Taoist priest's eyes, and this is common sense!

Lu Zheng gritted his teeth, "What about your cultivation scriptures?"

"I burned them after I learned them..."

" Damn it!"

"I always carry it with me!"

The old Taoist priest tremblingly took out a broken book from his arms.

"My lord, I will rely on this skill for the rest of my life as an old Taoist. My lord, please spare me and let me go!"

The old Taoist priests all He was about to cry, "I swear, I will never come to Tonglin County again!"

Lu Zheng reached out and took the book, "You must have been walking around the streets for decades. How much money have you saved?" Isn’t it enough to support you for the rest of your life?”

Lu Zheng glanced at the old Taoist priest and said lightly, “Tell me, where are the fields and houses you bought and how many concubines you have at home? ?”

The old Taoist priest was stunned. Is he preparing to break the bones and suck out the marrow, peel the skin and cramp?

"Young Master, you are so generous! I am an old Taoist priest who really has no money. I dare not go to the big city in the state capital. How can there be so many rich people in the county town!"

　“Dang!”

　The air became silent.

"Why are you howling!"

Lu Zheng shouted coldly, "If you continue to howl, I will send you to the official position and let you howl with the officials of Zhenyi Division!"< br />
The old Taoist priest immediately stopped talking.

"Don't worry, no matter how much money you made before, I won't take it. I have the ability to make money." Lu Zheng said.

"Young master, both Taoist and martial arts master, good at business, young and promising, with a bright mind, will definitely have a bright future in the future. Of course, he will not be interested in such a small amount of pension money as the old Taoist!"

"But from now on, don't even think about making money from your deception." Lu Zheng answered calmly.

　"Young Master..."

　"How about we go to the county government office?"

　"Young Master is generous, in fact, I am also experienced. I have long wanted to stop doing it. After all, this matter is detrimental to moral integrity. It’s just because of this ghost boy that the old man has to do it."

Lu Zheng casually looked through the shabby In the remaining chapters of the book, I finally saw the part about driving away the soul and nourishing the soul.

"You dispersed his three souls, leaving only his seven souls?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Lu Zheng nodded, Finally I know why this ghost boy has lost his mind at all.

The three souls that dominate memory and thinking are gone, leaving only the seven souls that dominate the body. They are vegetative among ghosts. They can only be controlled by humans and perform some simple tasks and behaviors without a trace of autonomy. Power.

Lu Zheng looked at the old Taoist priest, and the old Taoist priest looked at Lu Zheng with a low eyebrow.

"Okay, you can go."

The old Taoist priest nodded repeatedly as if he was being pardoned, then trotted into the house, took the baggage and wanted to leave.

"Dang!"

Lu Zheng knocked the knife again, "Did you forget something?"

The old Taoist priest was crying and trembling. Tremblingly, he reached into his arms and took out the thirty pieces of treasure money.

"I am a layman from Baiyunguan. If you want revenge, just come to me."

"Don't you dare!" When the old Taoist heard the name of Baiyunguan, he said His eyes were straight and he wanted to slap himself twice.

　……

Watching the old Taoist priest leave in embarrassment, Lu Zheng felt the jade seal in his mind shake, and three rays of luck immediately entered his account.
