Chapter 106 Is Miss Qin’s house also haunted?
“Here it comes!”
There was a clear response from the yard, and Li Chu recognized it as Yu Qing's voice.
When I opened the door, I saw the cute face of the little maid.
Li Chu nodded slightly.
Yu Qing greeted, "Master Xiao Li, you are here very quickly. Come in and sit down."
"No." Li Chu declined: "I just came out for a walk and got an umbrella."
"How can that be? You have helped us, so of course you should come and sit down and have a cup of tea."
Seeing that Li Chu was still trying to refuse.
She pouted again and said, "If you don't come in, the lady will blame me."
Li Chu had no choice but to step forward and move in.
The little maid then smiled happily.
The courtyard is quite spacious, but there is not much decoration and it seems a little empty. Apart from a bare, leafless dead tree in the corner, there is almost nothing else.
It didn't look like anyone had ever lived there, but rather like it had been abandoned for many years. But it was also extremely clean, without a speck of dust.
The house is surrounded on three sides, with a living room in the middle and several bedrooms on both sides, which is quite regular.
Qin Shuangbai, a beautiful and refined lady, was walking out of a room at the side. Perhaps she was at home, as she was only wearing a simple waisted wide-sleeved skirt, a striped front, and her hair was tied up with a blue silk with floral patterns.
She looks like a gentle and lovely girl next door.
Li Chu greeted her: "Miss Qin."
"Master Xiao Li, I'm so sorry to have to take your boat, borrow your umbrella, and trouble you to come and pick it up in person."
Qin Shuangbai took light steps with a gentle smile, her waist swaying with each step.
Every movement is indescribably graceful.
"Miss Qin, you're welcome." Li Chu said calmly.
Soon, Qin Shuangbai came in front of him and extended his hand, "Please come in and sit for a while."
"Thank you very much."
He followed Qin Shuangbai into the hall, raised his eyes, and was slightly startled.
There were already three people sitting in the hall.
At the top was an old man, thin but in good spirits.
On the left hand side is a strong man, sitting upright like an iron tower, mighty and majestic.
On the right side, there is a sickly young man, frail and coughing lightly with his hands covering his mouth.
The three of them turned their eyes to Li Chu, and Li Chu looked at them in surprise.
This posture...
Why does it feel a little wrong?
Qin Shuangbai introduced: "This is my uncle. The neighbors in the alley call him Qin Weng. You can call him that too. This is my eldest cousin, Chen Wu. This is my second cousin, Chen Wen."
After saying that, she stood behind Mr. Qin's chair.
Li Chu saluted the three people in turn, and the three people nodded in return.
Mr. Qin was even more cheerful. "Xiao Li... Taoist priest, please come and sit down. Although this is your first time back home, you don't have to feel restrained. Just treat it like your own home."
Li Chu felt something was even more wrong.
No...I just came to get an umbrella.
Why do you want to see your family?
So he said, "I just came to pick up the umbrella as agreed, so I won't bother you any more."
"Actually..." Mr. Qin smiled and said, "Please have a seat, Taoist Xiao Li. I actually have something to ask you."
"Oh?" Li Chu asked, "What's the matter?"
"There are some things that may be related to evil spirits, but we ordinary people don't understand them, so we can only guess when we encounter something. I happened to meet a Taoist practitioner, so I wanted to ask him something. I wonder if Taoist Master Li would be able to help me?" said Mr. Qin.
Since he said so and the matter involved evil spirits, Li Chu had no choice but to sit down.
"Mr. Qin, you can ask as much as you want."
"Okay..." I heard Mr. Qin laugh again and asked, "Where is Taoist Priest Li from?"
Li Chu replied politely, "I grew up with my master in Shilipo and Deyun Temple outside Yuhang Town."
"Then...do you have any relatives in your family?"
"No, I am an orphan and I only have one master."
"How old is Taoist Xiao Li?"
"I am eighteen years old. After September, I will be nineteen."
"Does Taoist Master Xiao Li have any hobbies?" Qin Weng continued to ask: "Drinking, gambling, or the gathering places of scholars and scholars, do you dabble in it?"
Li Chu shook his head: "No, I don't have any other entertainment besides practicing."
"Does Taoist Xiao Li have any real estate under his name?"
"No, I have been living in Deyun Temple before."
"Does your master have other disciples?"
"No, I am the master's first and last disciple."
"So... the only heir to Deyun Temple in the future is you?"
"That should be it."
"I guess there aren't many pilgrims to the Taoist temple in this town? How's the daily income?"
"Our Deyun Temple is quite famous in Yuhang Town, and the incense offerings are quite abundant every day."
"Master Xiao Li has an extraordinary appearance, so I guess he has many female confidants?"
“Never.”
"Haha, this is a bit strange... I wonder if Taoist Priest Li's birth date..."
"Mr. Qin."
Li Chu finally couldn't help it...
He interrupted the other party's household-checking questioning and said, "These questions... have nothing to do with evil spirits, right?"
Not only is it unrelated to evil...
And every sentence is about myself...
Could it be that...
Could it be that I am the evil spirit you are referring to?
Li Chu couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Oh, right, right." Mr. Qin slapped his head and apologized, "I'm old now, so my words are all over the place. If I'm a little off topic, please don't blame me, Taoist Master Li."
a little?
Li Chu was doubtful.
"What I want to ask is that there has been a little ghost in my house recently. Every night, there is a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and the noise is so loud that people can't sleep. My two juniors have been watching all night, and the noise has disappeared. But as soon as people go to sleep, the noise will start again and stop at dawn. Does Taoist Master Li have any way to deal with such a little ghost?"
Qin Weng said slowly.
oh?
Upon hearing this, Li Chu was indeed interested.
It was not for any other reason, but because he had previously thought of taking Deyun Temple to Hangzhou Prefecture.
But the realization of this idea requires an opportunity.
Things like exorcism are spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Only when word of mouth gets good will more people come.
Just like when he was in Yuhang Town, he only had a few repeat customers at the beginning. But as he successfully exorcised more evil spirits, his reputation naturally spread.
It is quite appropriate that such an evil spirit suddenly appeared in the Qin family at this time.
So he said, "These are nothing more than little ghosts born in the closet or the stove. They are usually very low-level and easy to deal with."
"Oh?" Qin Weng's eyes lit up: "Does Taoist Xiao Li practice? Can he exorcise evil spirits?"
Li Chu nodded: "I have practiced a little bit, and I have also helped people get rid of some minor evil spirits."
"Then why don't we ask Taoist Master Li to help my family get rid of this little devil?" Mr. Qin suggested.
Li Chu naturally agreed: "As a cultivator, I can't just sit there and watch."
Mr. Qin laughed again and said, "I wonder how much the reward is, Taoist Priest Li? If it's too high, a small family like us can't afford it."
Li Chu wanted to build up his reputation, and seeing the Qin family's situation, he probably couldn't afford to pay, so he simply waved his hand.
"A few little ghosts, but you don't have to pay them anything."
"That's good."
Mr. Qin was delighted, and then he said, "But this little ghost was born in my inner house. If we want to exorcise it, it will be a fight. Let's pack up the inner house tomorrow and move to another place to stay for a night. Then Taoist Xiao Li will come to exorcise the evil spirit, okay?"
"Okay." Li Chu agreed.
At that moment, the time for exorcism was decided tomorrow night, and Li Chu left with two umbrellas.
Having this experience today is a pleasant surprise.
Qin Shuangbaiying saw him out the door, watched Li Chu's back as he walked away, then closed the door and walked back to the hall.
…
"call--"
Miss Qin let out a long breath, tore off the silk on her head, shook her hair, and no longer maintained a dignified posture, and walked quickly into the lobby.
The old man sitting in the first seat quickly jumped up and gave up his seat.
The two cousins also stood up and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
Qin Shuangbai was not polite either. He sat down on the chair with his arms and legs stretched out, with an inappropriate shyness on his face.
"Am I right? He is very handsome, isn't he?"
"Hmm..." Qin Weng groaned, "His appearance is indeed impeccable, but his ability... we have to wait until after the test to see."
"Ahem." The sick young man said, "There is no Qi fluctuation in his body. He might be a charlatan. Miss, you must be careful."
"Humph!" The sturdy man patted his chest and said, "If he dares to lie to the young lady, I will tear him apart with my bare hands!"
Qin Shuangbai glared at them and said, "Shut up!"
"Judge a handsome man by the standards of an ugly man."
"Do people still need to cheat?"
She threatened: "When you go out to catch ghosts in the wild tonight, be careful and just catch two little ghosts to deal with them. Don't really bring back some powerful ghosts. If you hurt them, I will never forgive you!"
I asked the editor yesterday and he said that it’s okay to set a fixed time, but it’s not recommended to post it all at once.
Then I will post a chapter each at 8:00, 12:00, and 6:00 every day.
