The Taoist leader shook his head and said, "Since he has harmed people, he is no longer your father. He is now a vicious ghost whose mind is filled with harming people. I have no power to cleanse his sins. I can only kill him."
Gu Zhiyun was silent for a long time, then sighed helplessly: "Then... let's follow the Taoist's arrangements."
As a prominent family in Helue Town, the Gu family had extremely rich supplies, and the Taoist leader quickly gathered all the necessary materials for the altar and rituals.
Although it was late, the servants were still full of energy, after all, it was for their own lives.
The Taoist leader actually had a plan in mind and sent the little Taoist boy away in the name of going back to the temple to announce something.
In fact, he asked the Taoist boy to report to the authorities.
As the Son of Heaven, the Emperor of Da Qi and all his officials are also blessed by the dragon veins and national destiny. As long as they are not corrupt, demons and monsters with lower cultivation cannot get close to them.
The procedure when encountering strange things is to first find the local authorities to investigate the situation. Ordinary evil spirits will be directly dispersed by the official aura.
If a big demon is causing trouble and the local government is powerless, they will look for people like them who are outside the world.
He was not a Taoist priest in some wild temple. The Dongyue Temple was also government-run and registered with the imperial court.
Gu Qiang, whom the Gu family relied on, has passed away. Chen Daoshou does not need to worry about the Gu family's reputation and must recruit helpers when necessary.
As for how Gu Zhiyun would react? Hey, give him some courage and see what he dares to do.
The Taoist leader was also extremely cautious. If there was anything unusual, he would definitely retreat first, go back to the temple to reorganize himself, and then bring the monks in the temple to subdue the demons.
Time passed neither fast nor slow. The government had already learned about the Gu Mansion. They mobilized their men and surrounded the Gu residence regardless of Gu Zhiyun's dark face.
At this time, the Taoist leader was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Gu residence, with his eyes closed. He was wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist sword across his knees, looking like an immortal.
He was waiting, waiting for the midnight when the yin energy was at its strongest, and then he would perform a ritual to expel the evil spirits hiding in the Gu Mansion and eliminate the demons.
The matter involved a famous and prominent family in the town, and the Taoist chief of Dongyue Temple was personally performing the ritual. The bailiffs and detectives were also on high alert, guarding near Gu's house, careful not to make any mistakes.
Zeng Wu, as a yamen runner, was of course the same. He looked around vigilantly, his eyes scanning everywhere. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he greeted his companions.
"Brothers, I'm in a hurry, I need to go to the bathroom first."
"Go quickly and come back soon..."
"Okay!"
He ran to the corner and saw the figure of his good friend Kong Hanan.
The boy was carrying a bag and riding a tall horse beside him.
I have to say, this horse is really majestic. Zeng Wu once accompanied the county magistrate to the county town to discuss matters. He considered himself to have a broad vision, but he had never seen such a majestic horse.
"What are you doing here?!"
When the two met, they asked each other in unison.
It turned out that Kong Hanan took the magic weapon and arrived at the Gu Mansion "very smoothly".
In fact, he didn't want it to go so smoothly...
He also deliberately told Ma Zhong to keep a low profile, switch to horse form, and not scare passers-by and flowers and plants.
Then Kong Hanan and Ma Zhong came on foot...
But not a single demon with open eyes jumped out along the way.
Kong Hanan burst into tears...
Seeing that the Gu Mansion was under martial law, Kong Hanan was very happy.
Great, but I can’t get in!
In order to make Ma Zhong believe it, he deliberately called his good brother Zeng Wu to understand the situation "in person".
Zeng Wu's mind suddenly flashed like lightning, and he remembered what happened during the day.
My brother said during the day that the Gu family's master should have died long ago...
He also said that he is now a disciple of Emperor Dongyue.
The head of Dongyue Temple sent someone to report the incident to the officials.
And this horse, this brother, how can you afford such a beautiful horse on a normal day?
Zeng Wu, finally realized it, and he said:
"So all of this was arranged by you, brother! You're so capable, brother! You can even order the Taoist chief of Dongyue Temple around?!"
Kong Hanan didn't understand why, but with Ma Zhong around, he didn't want to appear too weak in front of his future subordinate, so he had to pretend to be mysterious.
"Huh? How did you find out?"
"Alright, brother, stop pretending. During the day, you asked me about the situation at the Gu Mansion, and at night, Chen Daoshou of Dongyue Temple discovered something unusual and reported it to the authorities. I don't believe you two have no relationship."
Zeng Wu patted Kong Hanan's shoulder with emotion.
Kong Hanan couldn't help but twitch in his heart.
Although Zeng Wu's imagination was good for him, he had to solve the problem of the Gu Mansion today.
The Taoist leader of Dongyue Temple is here to snatch monsters!
This is the boss guarding the level!
Merit! Level up! Opportunity!
Kong Hanan only felt a warm current surging in his chest. The difference in strength and the idea of running away were completely thrown behind Kong Hanan's mind.
Ma Zhong was also stunned.
Could it be that this guy is not acting rashly, but is really thoughtful?
His thick eyebrows and big eyes are really deceptive.
No wonder the emperor took a fancy to him. It seems that my bet was right this time!
No, I have to show off later!
The two men and the horse were staring at each other when there was a commotion from the Gu Mansion.
Kong Hanan turned his head and saw a slightly plump figure with sparse white hair appearing at the door of Gu's house.
In the Gu Mansion, Chen Daoshou felt like he was facing a great enemy, and everyone in the Gu Mansion was trembling with fear.
“This…!! This…!? Master Gu??”
Zeng Wu's face was filled with fear, just like the expression of the yamen runners guarding the gate of Gu's house.
The words of Chen Daoshou of Dongyue Temple are still very credible. No one doubts that he is lying. Now that they have seen Master Gu with their own eyes, who would not be afraid?
Kong Hanan sneered from the side.
"Hey, I was wondering, Master Gu is clearly dead, so who was at the birthday party? I see."
"Brother, what are you talking about!?"
Zeng Wu didn't understand why.
Ma Zhongzheng was just thinking about how to act when the opportunity presented itself to him. He snorted, tilted his head, and threw a tear into Zeng Wu's eyes. Ignoring Zeng Wu's shock, he spoke in human language, "Look again."
Zeng Wu turned around and looked. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked. This look made Zeng Wu even more scared!
The figure of Mr. Gu at the gate of Gu Mansion was actually a paper man!
The paper figure depicts Gu Qiang, and it looks lifelike, but the sight of a paper figure walking leisurely with its hands behind its back makes it seem even more creepy.
“What the hell is this!?!?”
Zeng Wu couldn't help but let out a suppressed scream.
