Chapter 106
106 Lady Qin’s house is haunted too?
“They’re here!”
Li Chu heard a clear voice from the courtyard. It was Yu Qing’s voice.
When he opened the door, it was indeed the little maidservant’s pretty and cute face.
Li Chu nodded slightly.
Yu Qing greeted him. little Daoist priest Li, you’re fast. Come in and have a seat.
“No, I won’t.” “I’m just out for a walk and to get an umbrella,” Li Chu declined.
“How can I do that? You’ve helped us, so of course you have to come and have a cup of tea.”
Li Chu was still trying to decline.
“If you don’t come in, the young lady will blame me,” she pouted.
Li Chu had no choice but to enter.
The maidservant beamed with joy.
The courtyard was quite wide, but there were no decorations, so it was a little empty. There was almost nothing else except for a bare, leafless, dead tree in the corner.
It didn’t look like someone had lived there before, but rather like it had been put aside for many years. However, it was extremely clean, without a single speck of dust.
The room was surrounded on three sides, with a Hall in the middle and a few bedrooms on both sides. It was quite neat.
The beautiful and refined Qin Shuangbai was walking out from a room on the side. Perhaps it was because she was at home, she only wore a simple waist-tight, wide-sleeved dress with stripes on the lapels, and her hair was tied up with blue silk with floral patterns.
She was like a gentle and pleasant girl-next-door.
“Miss Qin,” Li Chu greeted.
“Little Daoist priest Li, I took your boat, borrowed your umbrella, and even had to trouble you to come and pick it up personally. I’m really sorry.”
With a faint smile on her face, Qin Shuangbai took light steps, and her waist swayed with her steps.
Every movement was indescribably graceful.
“Lady Qin, you don’t have to be so polite.” Li Chu said indifferently.
Then, Qin Shuangbai came to him and extended her hand. please come in and have a seat.
“Many thanks.”
He followed Qin Shuangbai into the hall. He raised his eyes and was slightly stunned.
Three people were already seated in the hall.
At the head of the table was a thin old man with a hale and hearty spirit.
On the left, there was a brawny man who sat upright like an iron tower. He was mighty and majestic.
On the right was a sickly young man, who was too weak to stand up to a gust of wind. He was covering his mouth and coughing.
The three of them turned to look at Li Chu, who was also looking at them in surprise.
This stance …
Why did he feel that something was wrong?
“This is my eldest uncle,” Qin Shuangbai introduced,”the neighbors in the alley call him old Qin. You can call him that too.” This is my cousin, Chen Wu. This is my second cousin, Chen Wen.”
Then, she stood behind old Qin’s chair.
Li Chu saluted the three of them in turn, and the three of them nodded in return.
Old man Qin chuckled. Daoist priest li jianjia, please have a seat. Although it’s your first time back home, you don’t have to be so restrained. Just treat it as your own home.”
Li Chu felt that something was wrong.
I’m just here to get an umbrella.
Why did he have to see his family?
I’m only here to get the umbrella as promised, ” he said. I won’t bother you any longer.
“Actually, Zhenzhen,” Weng Qin said with a smile.”Please have a seat, young Daoist priest li. I actually have some questions to ask you.”
“Oh?” “What’s the matter?” Li Chu asked.
“It might be something related to the evils. We commoners don’t know much about these things, so we can only make wild guesses. He happened to meet a cultivator and wanted to ask. I wonder if it’s convenient for you, Daoist priest li?” Weng Qin said.
Since he had said that it was an evil thing, Li Chu could only sit down.
“Old Qin, please ask.”
“Good!” Weng Qin laughed again and asked,”what’s wrong?””I wonder where little Daoist priest li is from?”
“I’ve been living in deyun temple, ten Li Hill outside Yuhang Town, since I was a child. I grew up with my master,” Li Chu replied politely.
“Does the monk of Xuanji still have any relatives?”
“No, I’m an orphan. I only have one master.”
“How old is Daoist priest li?”
“It’s the 18th year of the year. After September, it’ll be the 19th.”
“Does little Daoist priest li have any hobbies?” “Drinking, gambling, or gathering places for scholars?” old Qin asked.
Li Chu shook his head. I don’t have any. Other than cultivating, I don’t have any other entertainment.
“Does Daoist priest Li Xiao have any real estate under his name?”
“No, I’ve been living in the deyun temple.”
“Does your master have any other disciples?”
“No, I’m master’s first and last disciple.”
“So you’re the only successor of Xuanji deyun temple?”
“It should be,”
“I don’t think there are many visitors to the town’s Taoist temple, right? How’s the daily income?”
“Our deyun temple is quite famous in Yuhang Town, and we offer a lot of incense every day.”
“Little Daoist priest Li’s appearance is extraordinary. You must have a lot of female confidants, right?”
“Never.”
“Hehe, this is a little strange. I don’t know about little Daoist Li’s birth characters.”
“Old Qin.”
Li Chu finally couldn’t help but stammer.
He interrupted the other party’s household check. these questions have nothing to do with the evil, right? ”
Not only is it not related to evil, huhu huhu
And every sentence is related to me, Yingluo.
Could it be that
The evil you’re talking about is me?
Li Chu was baffled.
“Oh, yes, yes, yes.” I’m old, ” old Qin smacked his head and apologized. I’m so incoherent. Please don’t blame me for straying from the topic.
A little?
Li Chu was suspicious.
“What I want to ask is that there have been ghosts in my house recently. Every night, there would be the sound of boxes and cabinets being overturned, making it hard for people to sleep at night. My two juniors have been watching all night, so the sound has disappeared. However, once a person went to sleep, it would immediately ring again and stop at dawn. Does little Daoist priest li have a way to deal with this kind of little ghost?”
Weng Qin said slowly.
Oh?
Li Chu’s interest was piqued when he heard this.
It was not for anything else, but because he had previously had the idea of beating deyun temple to the Hangzhou Prefecture.
It was just that he needed an opportunity to realize this idea.
Exorcism was something that was spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred. Only when the reputation was good would more people come to visit.
Just like when he was in Yuhang Town, he only had a few returning customers in the beginning. When the number of successful exorcism increased, his reputation would naturally be spread.
It was quite appropriate for such an evil spirit to appear in the Qin family at this time.
this kind of little ghost is nothing more than a little ghost born in a closet or a stove, ” he said. the average cultivation level is very low, so it’s easy to deal with.
“Oh?” Old Qin’s eyes lit up,’has Daoist priest li cultivated? Can it exorcise evil?”
“I’ve cultivated for a while and have helped people get rid of some small evil spirits,” Li Chu nodded.
“Then I’d like to ask little Daoist priest li to help my family get rid of this brat, is that okay?” Qin Weng suggested.
“As a cultivator, I can’t just sit back and do nothing,” Li Chu agreed.
“I wonder how much I’ll be paid, little Daoist li?” old man Qin chuckled. If it’s too high, my small family won’t be able to afford it. ”
Li Chu wanted to build up his reputation, but the Qin family probably couldn’t afford it, so he waved his hand.
“I don’t need to pay you anything for these little ghosts.”
“This is good.”
“It’s just that this little brat was born in my family’s inner residence, so there’ll be a fight if we want to get rid of him.” Tomorrow, we’ll pack up the things in the inner residence and move elsewhere for a night. At that time, little Daoist priest Li can come back to exorcise the evil, alright?”
“Sure.” Li Chu agreed.
After deciding on the time to exorcise the evil the next day, Li Chu left with two umbrellas.
It was a pleasant surprise to have such an encounter today.
Qin Shuang walked him to the door and watched Li Chu’s back as he walked away. Then, she closed the door and went back to the hall.
……
“Hu-”
Miss Qin let out a long breath, pulled off the silk on her head, and flipped her hair. She no longer maintained her dignified posture and quickly walked into the lobby.
The old man sitting at the head of the table quickly jumped up and gave up his seat.
His two cousins also stood up and stood beside him.
Qin Shuangbai did not stand on ceremony. He sat down on the chair with a shy expression on his face.
“I didn’t say anything wrong, right? He’s very handsome, isn’t he?”
Wu Wu Wu Wu. Weng Qin muttered, ” her looks are indeed impeccable. However, we can only talk about her skills after the assessment.
“Ahem.” there’s no true Qi fluctuation on him, ” the sickly young man said. he might be a charlatan. Miss, you must be careful.
“Hmph!” “If he dares to lie to you, I’ll tear him apart with my bare hands!” The burly man patted his chest.
Qin Shuang rolled her eyes at them. shut up!
“Measure a beautiful man’s belly with an ugly man’s heart.”
“Do I need to lie to you?”
She threatened,”you’re going out to catch ghosts in the wild tonight. Pick carefully. Just catch two little ghosts to deal with them.” Don’t bring back any high-level ghostly beings. If they hurt him, I won’t let you off!”
