Father Lin drank the talisman water to ward off evil spirits, and then, looking old and weak, he pretended to be dead and sat aside, not caring about anything.
Lin Daqiang frowned, stood in front of his wife's bed and looked at his mother.
"Mom, I'll take Xiuzhi to live in the small house next door. If there's anything, just come over and tell Dad."
"This is not a division of the family. It's just to let Xiuzhi rest and recuperate. Next year, you and dad will have a big fat son. Do you think this is feasible?"
Shen Shuyi bumped Yan Daoxuan with the hilt of his sword, and how could Yan Daoxuan not understand what this meant.
Since the fairy ancestor wanted to meddle in other people's business, he could only use his eloquent tongue to persuade the unreasonable mother-in-law like Aunt Lin.
Yun Jiuyou informed Yan Daoxuan of the address of their temporary residence, and left the Lin family with Shen Shuyi.
The yard they rented was very quiet, with several old peach trees swaying and providing shade all over the ground.
Chen Shuyi sat under an old peach tree and discussed the seal with Yun Jiuyou.
"Master, the evil demon that escaped from the Sealed Demon Abyss should be using the Cold Spirit Temple as its lair. The remaining soul should be quite weak, but it has used various means to absorb people's energy by making wishes. Its power has greatly increased during this period. Should we just kill it?"
"Go investigate first. Yi Chen will come over soon after receiving the message. Follow me closely tomorrow and don't run around."
"Master, rest assured, I will definitely not cause any trouble." Chen Shuyi cherished his life.
"Knock knock~~" Someone knocked on the gate.
Shen Shuyi stood up, “It can’t be Senior Brother Chu.”
When I opened the door, it turned out to be Yan Daoxuan.
"Master Yan, what are you doing?"
Well, there is a man in gorgeous clothes behind Yan Daoxuan, and he even looks familiar.
Yan Daoxuan quickly greeted him, “Fellow Daoist Shen, I have encountered a difficult problem, and I would like to ask you and fellow Daoist Yun for help.”
He turned sideways and introduced the man next to him, "He is the yamen's legal advisor, Guo Lin."
Guo Lin?
Chen Shuyi turned around to look at Yun Jiuyou. Wasn't Guo Liu the man who was hanging out with Miss Li in the woods that day?
Why do you look so listless today? The dark circles under your eyes are particularly dark and your lips are pale.
Yun Jiuyou raised his hand and motioned for them to sit down in the courtyard. "What is the purpose of Master Yan's visit?"
"Brother Yun, he has encountered a ghost. Please go and see what is going on." Yan Daoxuan spoke again with more enthusiasm than before, as if he really wanted to solve this problem.
Shen Shuyi glanced at him and accepted a lot of benefits from Master Guo.
"Tell me first, Guo Lin, how did you run into this ghost?"
Guo Lin's pale face was strangely red, "Well, I've been particularly lucky with romance in the past few months."
He continued hesitantly, "At first it was an ordinary woman, then a rich lady, and recently... recently I dreamed of a female ghost possessing me..."
Shen Shuyi heard him speak intermittently, thinking that he must be hiding something, so he asked Yan Daoxuan directly.
"Master Yan, what's wrong with him?"
Yan Daoxuan didn't dare to take this business without finding out the truth. Originally, Guo Lin's business was too weird and he didn't want to take it. But Guo Lin gave him enough banknotes!
He also happened to meet two good Taoist friends who slayed demons and eliminated evil...
"A year ago, he was still a poor scholar who failed the imperial examination. He even had trouble getting food. When he went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, he encountered a rainstorm and went to the Hanling Temple to take shelter. After being hungry for a day, he couldn't take his eyes off the fruit buns on the altar of Liuxian."
"After kowtowed three times to the statue of Liu Xian, Master Guo couldn't help but pick up the steamed bun to eat. When he took the second bun, he accidentally burned his hand with the incense. You can see there is a scar on the back of his hand."
"Strangely, his luck improved from that day on. He first picked up some money when he went down the mountain, then met a pretty girl from the village, and then met Miss Jiao in the city. He was promoted to a county magistrate."
Guo Lin sighed, "At the beginning, I was indeed very popular, with both money and beauty, but later... I had nightmares about severed heads and long-tongued female ghosts on my body... In short, I couldn't control myself in my dreams. Now I'm too scared to sleep soundly, because I'll definitely encounter ghosts if I fall asleep."
"Master, can you help me exorcise the evil spirit?"
Yan Daoxuan looked at Yun Jiuyou and Shen Shuyi, "I exorcised the evil spirit for him, but the evil spirit was so strong that it almost bent my peach wood sword!"
Chen Shuyi almost laughed out loud, this fat Taoist priest was quite funny. With his mediocre kung fu, it was probably only enough to help people retrieve their souls.
Soon she couldn't laugh anymore. She was also a rookie now, but fortunately she was pretty good at refining pills...
Yun Jiuyou glanced at her, then raised his eyes to look at Guo Lin, "Humans and ghosts are different. Your long-term intercourse with ghosts will not only deplete your energy, but also shorten your life span. Even if you are very strong, you will not be able to survive for more than a year."
"It's almost July now. The Ghost Festival is on the 15th day of the seventh month, and the gates of hell are wide open. Even if you hide in a righteous place like the government office, you can't stop the invasion of ghosts."
Chen Shuyi understood what Yun Jiuyou said. As the saying goes,... everyone dies.
Guo Lin's hands were shaking subconsciously. He had been awake for days and was worried and frightened. He accidentally fell asleep while helping his superiors check files in the yamen.
Half asleep and half awake, he saw a female ghost in red lying in front of him..., and then he saw a hanged ghost in white coming over, hugging his head, and kissing his lips...
The red and white female ghosts almost drained him dry. No matter how he screamed and struggled, it was useless. More and more female ghosts pounced on him...
Guo Lin shuddered several times as he recalled the horrifying scene.
He spoke tremblingly, "Master."
“Save me…”
Yun Jiuyou did not respond to him, but motioned Yan Daoxuan to talk aside.
Yan Daoxuan knew that this matter was tricky, so he quickly stepped aside. After listening, he frowned and looked at Guo Lin several times.
