The Crow Sorcerer
Marquis Kang let out a long sigh and sat down at the table, slamming his fist on the table.
"If I find out who did it, then I'll definitely tear him into a thousand pieces and dismember him."
Zhou Wen had been by Marquis Kang's side for many years. It had been more than twenty years since he moved from the capital to Jingzhou!
Therefore, if Marquis Kang had anyone he could trust, Zhou Wen would be one of them.
Seeing his Marquis burning with anger, Zhou Wen immediately poured him a cup of water. "Marquis, drink some water to calm yourself down. I will order my men to investigate and help you recover the treasure."
Marquis Kang's brows were still tightly furrowed, and it took him a while to calm down. He raised the cup of water to his lips, but put it back down again. He instructed Zhou Wen, "You'd better bring some men and stand guard outside the estate. If Teacher Ji is right, and the real treasure is still in the estate, we must not let anyone escape."
"Yes."
"I don't believe that the thief has the ability to turn the estate upside down."
Marquis Kang raised the cup in his hand again.
Just as he was about to drink —
"Bang!"
The sound of something smashing came from outside.
Marquis Kang glanced outside. "Go out and take a look."
"Yes." Zhou Wen inadvertently glanced at the cup of water, then went out to take a look.
Marquis Kang was vexed. When he put down the cup of water, only half of it was resting on the edge of the table, so it lost its balance and tipped over. The cup, along with the water inside, landed on his robes. It didn't fall off, but the water splashed all over his clothes.
Marquis Kang didn't care. He picked up the empty cup and put it back on the table, ignoring the fact that his clothes were wet.
"When one is unlucky, even drinking water can get stuck in one's teeth."
Zhou Wen came in after he finished speaking.
"Marquis, it's just a servant girl who broke something. It's a bowl."
"Alright, you can leave now. Guard the estate well."
"Yes."
Zhou Wen looked at the cup on the table again. When he realized that there was no more water in it, his furrowed brows relaxed a little and he left.
Thus, Marquis Kang sat in the room for a long time until the sky gradually darkened. Only then did he order his men to bring two lanterns to Ji Yunshu. He wanted to see how she could catch ghosts.
Everyone in the Marquis's Mansion began to stir restlessly.
Some were curious and prepared to watch the show.
Some of them were skeptical, waiting to catch the ghost.
There were also some who thought that Ji Yunshu was boasting.
Of course, there were also people who were scared witless, afraid that they would really catch a ghost.
At this moment, Ji Yunshu seemed to have just finished a long conversation with Jing Rong. The two of them were leisurely drinking tea in the room.
Freedom!
When Marquis Kang arrived and saw her like this, he became suspicious.
You said you were going to catch a ghost, so why are you still sitting here?
"Teacher Ji, didn't you say that you're going to catch ghosts as soon as it gets dark? You have to help me find those treasures. "
It was a deliberate reminder.
Ji Yunshu smiled and gently put down the teacup in her hand. "Marquis, don't worry. Since this one has promised you, I will not go back on my word."
"But … if you just sit here like this, no matter if it's a thief or a ghost, they won't come to you on their own."
"It's not completely dark yet, is it? Marquis, why are you in such a hurry? "
"I …"
Marquis Kang glanced outside the door. It was indeed not completely dark yet.
Jing Rong poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him. "Marquis, try this tea. It was given to me by the Jinjiang County Magistrate, Li Qingping.
Jinjiang's tea is famous for its good quality. "
How could he be in the mood to drink tea now?
He was only concerned about his treasures.
But then he thought about it. Who was this Teacher Ji? He was a famous person, so he would not lie to him. Marquis Kang could only take a sip of tea, nod, and praise Ji Yunshu a few times.
He continued to wait.
When the sky finally turned completely dark.
"Teacher Ji, look, it's already dark."
"Mm!"
Mm?
"Then are we going to start catching the ghost?"
"Wait a little longer."
"Wait a little longer? Wait for what? "
"For the ghost hunter sorcerer to come."
"Sorcerer?" Marquis Kang was puzzled. He looked outside the door and began to feel a little uneasy. "Teacher Ji, tell me the truth. Is there really something unclean in my estate? You were just comforting me when you said there were no ghosts in this world, right? Otherwise, why would you go and find a sorcerer? "
Ji Yunshu frowned. "Marquis, this humble one said that I will find your treasures, and I will definitely find them. Of course, I also have to catch the ghost that is causing trouble in the estate. Might as well do these two things together. If we don't use sorcerers to catch ghosts, how can it be considered catching ghosts?"
He was speechless.
There was nothing wrong with this logic!
And so, he continued to wait.
Not long after …
"Caw!"
The caw of a crow came from outside.
Looking towards the direction of the sound, she saw that the crow from yesterday had landed in the same spot. Its wings flapped a few times, and then it obediently stopped moving.
Ji Yunshu's brows relaxed. She stood up and walked towards the crow.
Marquis Kang and a few servants carrying lanterns followed behind her, their footsteps light.
The crow did not seem to be afraid of people. Its pair of bright eyes stared straight at the people walking towards it, and finally met Ji Yunshu's gaze.
"Caw!"
The caw was very loud.
It was even a little ear-piercing!
Just like yesterday, Ji Yunshu stood in front of it and was about to reach out to pet its little head when Marquis Kang suddenly pulled her back.
"Teacher Ji, this crow is an unlucky thing. You must not touch it."
"This is a sorcerer that this humble one invited. How can it be an unlucky thing?"
"A crow is a sorcerer?"
You must be out of your mind!
Everyone was shocked!
Ji Yunshu reached out to pet the crow's head.
"You're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Caw!"
The crow allowed her to pet it.
Marquis Kang, who was behind her, was a little dumbfounded. Does this Teacher Ji know the language of crows?
"Little fellow, you are now a sorcerer that I invited. If you can find the ghost, I will reward you with some good food."
"Caw!"
Then, Ji Yunshu took out a small pouch from her waist, opened it, and took out some powder, which she sprinkled on the crow's body.
"Go, find what we want, and also find what you want."
"Caw!"
The crow flew away, but it only landed on the roof. Its originally pitch-black body was invisible in the darkness, but its small body emitted a soft green glow. As the crow shook its head, the green glow also swayed in the darkness.
"Why is the crow glowing?" Someone was shocked.
"Could it be a ghost?"
There was a commotion.
Ji Yunshu immediately explained, "That's the luminous powder I sprinkled on the crow. That's why it glows green in the dark."
"What does that mean?" Marquis Kang asked.
"Just follow it."
With that, the crow flapped its wings and flew away.
Ji Yunshu immediately snatched a lantern from the little maid's hand and chased after them.
