Every time he passed by a place, he would ask the well-informed locals about strange stories … This was the most effective method in Xu Qi 'an's opinion, other than Dragon Breath's detection method.
The Dragon Qi Hosts were all coquettish bitches who showed their divinity in front of the masses. They would stir up a storm in their respective occasions and steal the limelight.
However, according to the density of the Dragon Qi, the commotion caused by it was different. Some Dragon Qi could cause a stir in a city, while some Dragon Qi's host could only become the most beautiful cub.
Moreover, it was a time of chaos. Everywhere was not peaceful, so there must be a lot of messy things happening.
Li Lingsu smiled and said, "Tell me, what's interesting?"
Miao Youfang held his chopsticks in his mouth and added casually,
"According to the rules of Jianghu, demons and ghosts causing trouble are called 'strange things'; Jianghu evildoers robbing houses are called 'calamities'; Gentry and tyrants, officials raping innocent people and oppressing people are called 'inhumane'.
"Senior, this is the first question you are asking …"
Xu Qi 'an was surprised and said, "There's such a thing?"
He then glanced at Li Lingsu. The Saint was also surprised, indicating that it was the first time he had heard of it.
Seeing this, Miao Youfang immediately became proud and found a sense of superiority. He shook his head and said,
"Both of you are high and mighty figures. Naturally, you don't know the proverbs and rules of the bottom of Jianghu."
After he finished speaking, he saw Mu Nanzi shrink her body and stick close to Xu Qi 'an. She looked a little scared.
Xu Qi 'an just asked if there were any strange things.
The Waiter replied, "Yes!"
This meant that there had been a few incidents of demons and ghosts causing trouble in the county recently.
Mu Nanzi was most afraid of these supernatural things. Even if there was a Transcendent Warrior by her side, he could not give her a sense of security.
Under the silent gaze of the customers, The Waiter first glanced at the door. Seeing no new customers, he sat down next to Miao Youfang and said,
"It all started about a month ago. There was a man called Li Gui in the county. His wife died, and he didn't have any money.
"It's common for people to die. But on the seventh day of his death, Li Gui heard someone knocking on his door. Li Gui was still in a daze and asked who it was.
"The person outside said it was his wife who wanted to go home to sleep and asked him why he closed the door.
"Li Gui was in a daze, so he got up and went to open the door. But when he got to the door, he suddenly remembered that his wife was dead.
"He was so frightened that he ran back to bed and hid in his bedroll, not daring to come out.
Li Gui's wife kept knocking on the door, asking him why he didn't open the door. She kept repeating the same sentence.
"The knocking only stopped when the rooster crowed in the morning."
Mu Nanzi shuddered. She imagined that she was alone in her room at night. Then a man came knocking on the door and claimed to be Xu Qi'an who died seven days ago …
Her face turned pale.
Xu Qi'an did not know that he was a dead husband in Mu Nanzi's imagination. He asked,
"What happened next?"
The Waiter said,
"The next day, Li Gui reported it to the government. The government thought that Li Gui was lying. They beat him up and chased him away. The next night, Li Gui's wife came back and knocked on the door again.
"This time, his wife knocked for a while. Seeing that Li Gui did not open the door, she leaned on the window and looked into the room. She stayed there for the whole night …"
Mu Nanzhi was so scared that she was stunned. The little white fox in her arms was almost suffocated by her, and its legs were kicking wildly.
Miao Youfang listened with great interest and questioned,
"How do you know that? You looked out the window for the whole night. Why do you know so much?"
The waiter chuckled and said, "That's right.
"It's not over yet. After the rooster crowed, Li Gui's wife left. Li Gui was scared for two days. He felt that he could not go on like this. He was angry and dared to do evil, so …"
Miao Youfang interrupted, "So he reported it to the government again?"
The Waiter was speechless. He licked his lips and showed an awkward but polite smile,
"You really like to joke. There is no need to do evil to report to the government …"
After a pause, The Waiter looked serious and said in a low voice, "He called his friends and went to dig the grave."
Mu Nanzi lowered her voice, "Is the body gone?"
The Waiter shook his head,
"No. Li Gui took his friends and relatives to dig up his wife's grave. They found her lying in the coffin. The body was slightly rotten.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and blamed Li Gui for speaking nonsense. It was not an injustice for him to be beaten by the officials. After all, the body was still in the coffin. Could it be that she opened the coffin at night to scare people and then buried herself in the coffin at dawn? "
Mu Nanzi was not afraid when she heard that it was not the work of ghosts. She punched out and said,
"Li Gui is not a son. He consumes his dead wife."
The Waiter looked serious and shook his head, saying,
"Don't be impatient, my lady. Let me finish."
In the face of everyone's doubts and the scene in front of him, Li Gui could not help but wonder if what happened in the past two days was just an illusion.
"He was sure that he did not see or hear wrongly, so he carefully observed his wife's body. Guess what he found?"
The Waiter was quite talented in telling stories. He knew how to keep people guessing and throw out suspense. Coupled with his beaming face and gestures, Xu Qi'an felt that if he was not used to being a freeloader, he would have given him the tip.
"What did he find?"
The little white fox's childish voice came from Mu Nanzi's chest.
The Waiter looked around blankly, "Who is talking?"
When his eyes were about to look at the princess's full and bulging chest, Xu Qi'an pressed his face with his palm and twisted it back, saying,
"Continue talking."
Mu Nanzi took the opportunity to pinch the little white fox's butt to warn it not to interrupt.
Otherwise, there would be another "strange thing" in this small county.
The waiter answered in a flattering tone and continued, "You're right.
"Li Gui found that the woman's shoes were stained with a lot of mud.
"Think about it, the body is lying in the coffin, how can it be stained with mud? Unless … "
He said gloomily, "The body can walk by itself."
Mu Nanzi bowed her head to drink tea to hide the fear in her heart.
"If I tell you the Mountain Teacher tonight, you will be so scared that you will consummate your marriage with me today …" Xu Qi'an murmured in his heart.
Hearing this, Li Lingsu and Miao Youfang had concluded that the story told by The Waiter was exaggerated.
It was not half true and half false, it should be nine false and one true.
When the waiter saw the disbelief on the faces of the customers, he confidently said, "Heh.
"You don't believe it, do you?
"A lot of guests didn't believe it, but later, they all believed it."
The experienced Miao Youfang raised his eyebrows, "Oh, there is a follow-up?"
The Waiter's finger knocked on the table, like a storyteller patting a ruler, and said,
After Li Gui pointed out his doubts, the relatives and friends were also scared, they hastily buried the grave and fled home. Soon after, the news spread in the county.
"At this time, an old woman who claimed to be a witch came to Li Gui and told him that her wife couldn't live in peace even in death because she had offended the temple god.
"The witch said that Li Gui's wife was disrespectful to the temple god when she was alive, so she suffered a misfortune. She would still suffer after death and would never be able to reincarnate. Also, it would bring harm to her family.
After hearing this, Li Gui came to a sudden realization and remembered something about his wife when she was alive.
"When his wife was still alive, she went back to her parents' home to visit them. When she returned to the city, she encountered a heavy rain, so she hid in the City God Temple to avoid the rain.
"The City God Temple had long been abandoned. Li Gui's wife was drenched in the rain, so she used a 'wooden ghost' in the temple as firewood to keep warm.
"From then on, Li Gui's wife's health became worse and worse. She was bedridden and woke up with nightmares every night, saying that she saw a little ghost coming to capture her soul. Li Gui thought that she was in a daze and had a nightmare. "
The waiter spoke with confidence and composure.
"Only then did Li Gui know that his wife had offended the temple god. He was afraid and asked the witch what he should do.
"The witch told him that if he had to rebuild a statue for the little ghost and burn incense for three days, the misfortune would be resolved. Li Gui emptied his savings and rebuilt the statue. He even renovated the City God Temple.
"After that, his wife never came to see him again.
"Now, the City God Temple is also very lively. People go there every day to burn incense. It is said that it is very effective and they get whatever they ask for. And those who are disrespectful to the temple god are all punished. "
Li Lingsu said with a smile, "How effective is it?"
The Waiter looked around and said in a low voice, "What a coincidence.
I only know one thing. Boss Zheng, who opened a rouge shop on Guang Hua Street, was a devout person. Because there was also a rouge shop opposite and it stole his business, he went to the City God Temple to burn incense and curse the owner of the shop to die a horrible death.
"In the end, that night, the owner of the shop hanged himself at home."
Miao Youfang raised his thick eyebrows.
Li Lingsu smiled without changing his expression, "How did you know? Did Boss Zheng tell you personally?"
"It's true!"
The waiter's voice became deeper and deeper. "Boss Zheng got drunk here a few days ago. He said it because he had a slip of the tongue."
Li Lingsu frowned and stopped smiling, "Then why didn't you report it to the authorities?"
The Waiter asked curiously, "Why should I report it to the authorities? Let's not talk about whether the authorities care or not. This matter has nothing to do with me. If I offend the temple god, I won't be able to keep my life. "
At this time, Xu Qi'an knocked on the table and said lightly,
"Okay, go and serve the dishes."
"Okay!"
The waiter had satisfied his craving and left in satisfaction.
After his figure disappeared from the hall, Xu Qi'an said,
"This doesn't sound like something the host of Dragon Breath can do."
It was too strange and bizarre.
Li Lingsu asked, "Then should we intervene?"
Before Xu Qi'an could express his opinion, Miao Youfang answered, "Of course we should intervene.
A life for a life. After dinner, let's go to the City God Temple to take a look. Moreover, I also want to see who the so-called temple deity is. "
Xu Qi'an nodded and looked at the Saint, "What do you think about Li Gui's encounter?"
Li Lingsu knew what he was asking.
"It can't be a vengeful spirit. A mortal's soul is weak. Before the seventh day of the head, it will be muddle-headed. After the seventh day, it will disappear.
"But just now, the waiter said it was a corpse. I think it's a method to control the corpse. Why don't we dig up the grave and examine the corpse? "
After saying that, Li Lingsu suddenly realized why Xu Qi'an could become famous in the capital. It was because he loved to meddle in other people's business.
Just like how Li Miaozhen could become the Flying Swallow Heroine.
In comparison, Brother Yang was not persistent enough in this aspect.
Xu Qi'an smiled and said, "What's the purpose? You spent so much effort just to rebuild the City God Temple? "
Li Lingsu pondered.
After dinner, Xu Qi'an asked The Waiter for the location of the City God Temple and left the small county.
