A Chinese Ghost Story, Jinhua County.

Li Mansion.

At this time, Mr. Li was entertaining an exorcist who looked like a scholar with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, Master Ning, I've finally got you here. You don't know that the evil spirit in the attic has been causing unrest in the mansion these days, and the servants are terrified..."

Mr. Li began to complain bitterly, and his tone became helpless.

"Well... Mr. Li, don't worry. Since I'm here, I will definitely be able to get rid of that evil spirit.

Mr. Li, you can ask around. My Ning Caichen's exorcism skills are among the best in this area within a few dozen miles.

Ning Caichen looked calm and spoke with confidence.

Mr. Li nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Seeing Mr. Li's expression, Ning Caichen appeared calm on the surface, but in fact he was very happy.

I didn't expect that after the world was flooded with ghosts, I, Ning Caichen, would turn my life around and become an exorcist, which has a better future than being an official.

It’s really God’s blessing!

Half a year ago, countless ghosts suddenly appeared in the world, causing great harm to the people and leaving the imperial court unable to take care of itself.

For this reason, the righteous monks came down from the mountain to eliminate the demons, but the hundreds of Miaomiao monks were just a drop in the bucket for the countless demons in the world, and could not change the overall situation at all.

Fortunately, a group of sword immortals from Mount Shu suddenly appeared in the world. They slew demons and saved the world. They also passed down dozens of exorcism techniques, so that ordinary people also have the basic ability to protect themselves.

Since then, many ordinary people who have learned some exorcism techniques have been dedicated to exorcising demons for money, and they call themselves exorcists.

That’s how The Exorcist was born.

Because exorcists can slay demons and protect the people, their status is slightly higher than that of ordinary officials.

Ning Caichen was also fortunate enough to learn a little bit of exorcism magic and became one of the best exorcists in the area within dozens of miles.

Ever since he became an exorcist and killed a few little ghosts, Ning Caichen's life of having steamed buns and pickles is gone forever.

Because he no longer looks down on pickled vegetables and steamed buns, he has a greater goal.

He wants to make money and marry a wife!

…

A quarter of an hour later, Ning Caichen and Li Yuanwai agreed on the remuneration, and then Li Yuanwai asked his servants to take Ning Caichen to the attic in the corner of the mansion.

"Mr. Ning...Mr. Ning, this is...a haunted place. Please...go in...on your own. I will...take my leave first."

The servant stammered and immediately left as if he was running for his life.

“Ouch…”

“Ah…”

The night was dark and windy, with not a trace of moonlight.

In the dark and gloomy night, Ning Caichen felt cold all over, his teeth were dry, and his heart was trembling.

"I...if you want to leave, just leave a candle behind!" Ning Caichen wanted to cry but had no tears.

He took out a tinder from his bosom and blew gently, and then there was a glimmer of light.

“Squeak…”

He felt sad and slowly opened the attic door. He walked into the room carefully and lit the oil lamp in the room.

Ning Caichen crouched down and looked around. Although there was nothing strange in the room, he still took out a small bottle from his arms, opened the cap and held it in front of him.

This is the scholar's urine that he "carefully" prepared, which has a great restraining effect against ghosts.

He is well-versed in the books of sages and has been a senior boy for more than 20 years. The boy's urine he produces is more powerful than ordinary boy's urine.

He has eliminated many ghosts with this "exorcism" skill, which is one of his most powerful methods!

As time went by, he walked around the house and found nothing unusual.

He looked up at the attic and walked slowly towards the stairs with courage.

"tread……"

He climbed the stairs carefully, trying not to make any noise.

After just a moment, he slowly stuck half of his head out from the end of the stairs and looked at everything in the attic.

In the dim light, all he could see was the faintly reflective bronze mirror on the dressing table next to the bed upstairs.

"Strange, there's no sign of ghosts in this house. Could it be that Mr. Li is mistaken?"

He thought about it and felt that this was probably the case.

He had experienced this kind of situation before. Because of the prevalence of ghosts, many wealthy families would mistakenly believe that ghosts were taking their lives as soon as they noticed the slightest disturbance.

This should be the case with Mr. Li.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that he has been here for so long and hasn't noticed anything unusual.

Thinking of this, Ning Caichen's tense body suddenly relaxed. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked up to the attic with confidence.

"Haha, this trip is really relaxing."

Ning Caichen walked to the dressing table with a smile, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He moved the oil lamp closer and looked at the white and yellow gold and silver jewelry on the dressing table, and couldn't help swallowing.

So many precious jewels must be worth a lot of money, right?

Greed suddenly arose in his heart, but his mother's education made him hesitant.

"This... let's forget it. Taking things without asking is definitely not what a gentleman does. I, Ning Caichen, will stand tall and proud. I'd rather starve to death or jump off a cliff than commit such a theft!"

His tone was firm and his face was solemn, but the next second he covered his heart with his hands, his face full of pain.

"Wow... I, Ning Caichen, am such a good person..."

He covered his face in confusion, but was completely unaware that a pale hand without a trace of blood slowly stretched out from the bronze mirror beside him and slowly approached him.
