Chapter 1162 Hiring a Ghost Worker
Naturally, Lu Zhaoling is not such a pretentious and entangled person.
"I won't blame myself."
She raised an eyebrow at Zhou Shiyue and said, "Anyway, I will definitely protect you."
So confident.
Zhou Shiyue loves this kind of energy in her.
"Correct."
"Let's go. I think we need to go to their ancestral hall." Lu Zhaoling walked to the front again.
Everyone hurried to keep up.
And then, similar things happened again one after another.
Everyone had experience, and once a soldier saw a strange "villager", he immediately reported it to Lu Zhaoling.
Lu Zhaoling distributed the talismans to Ji Qing, and they could deal with it together.
There were two or three households where someone was left at home.
The paper man rushed out when it was burned.
These villagers were curious and worried, so instead of avoiding them, they hid and waited in the dark.
After the paper figures were burned, they rushed out to stop it and were all tied up.
On the way, two soldiers with open clairvoyance saw something really strange.
It was because the noise made by the living souls in this village was too loud, attracting wandering ghosts from the surrounding areas.
Lu Zhaoling also caught an old ghost.
"I, I just wanted to see if I could get a bargain." The old ghost was caught by her and kept begging for mercy. "There is an orphan in this village. I have made an agreement with him to recognize me as his godfather and ask him to help me get a little paper figurine and revive me. When I come back to life, I will earn money to support him, find him a wife, and take him to the city to eat and drink delicious food..."
When Zhou Shiyue heard this idea, he felt his eyes were opened.
You can still do this.
Looking at this old ghost, he was probably a very experienced ghost when he was alive, and even after his death he was still a very experienced ghost who was good at finding loopholes.
Lu Zhaoling looked at this old ghost and came up with an idea.
"Do you believe that I can kill you with just one talisman?" she asked.
The old ghost was so frightened that he kept saying, "Believe, believe, believe! Fairy, please have mercy on me and spare me. I haven't succeeded yet!"
"Also, I really did think that whoever gave me a soul, I would take good care of him/her in the future. Really, I am not lying..."
"Master, immortal, master, please, I have been wandering outside for many years, but I have never done a bad thing. Really, I have even done good deeds!"
The old ghost said this in a hurry.
"Really? I once saw an old man fainting from the heat outside. I dragged him under the shade of a tree and blew some Yin Qi on him!"
"I really saved the person. I didn't lie. If I lied to you, you would just beat me to death. But I really didn't lie to you."
Lu Zhaoling looked at him and asked, "What's your name? You died of sunburn, didn't you?"
She realized that this was the person who died of heatstroke.
It was probably because he died in this way that the old ghost saved the life of an old man who was similarly sunburned when he met one.
Otherwise, how would an old ghost dare to show up in the scorching sun to save people?
From this incident, it can be seen that this old man still has a bottom line.
"Yes, yes, Master, you are amazing. You can tell at a glance. My surname is Tian, and my name is Tian Mancang..."
"puff."
Lu Zhaoling couldn't help it for a moment.
She remembered the name she had given to a baby girl when she was a child.
Ah, this sounds a bit offensive.
Maybe it was because of the name that she really couldn't do anything to the old ghost.
Lu Zhaoling touched his nose and said, "I have something to ask you to do for me. See if it works. If not..."
"You said it, you said it."
Old Ghost Tian quickly nodded and listened.
How can it not work? It has to work.
Lu Zhaoling said, "Go down and ask around for me..." She lowered her voice so that no one else could hear.
Old Ghost Tian widened his eyes.
isn't it?
"But, if I go down, I will probably be caught by the ghost and reincarnated..."
"Besides, I can't explain why he hasn't gone down to report after being dead for so many years."
"Then why didn't you report in for so many years?" Lu Zhaoling asked, "And you must be avoiding the ghost messenger, right? Otherwise, they would come to arrest you as soon as you died."
Old Ghost Tian suddenly looked sad.
"To be honest, Master, I just feel that as a ghost, I can visit many places that I couldn't go to in my lifetime. If I'm really reincarnated, I don't know what I'll be in my next life. I might be a poor guy who can't even find a wife."
"So, I thought I wouldn't go down to report yet, but to look around and enjoy myself. At that time, I met an old ghost, who taught me how to avoid the ghost messenger..."
For example, he wanted to go into the expensive pubs in the city.
He also wanted to go into those high-end teahouses where only those with bright and fancy clothes could go in to listen to operas to broaden his horizons.
He also visited some wealthy people's homes to see how they lived.
I have seen all of this.
"I'll give you a talisman. No one will catch you when you go down, and you can come back anytime." Lu Zhaoling said, "But if you dare to do bad things again, or mess around down there, I'll know immediately."
"Don't dare."
Since this old man Tian was willing to do things for her, Lu Zhaoling gave him a talisman.
The talisman hit Tian Laogui's forehead, but he himself couldn't see it.
"Go ahead." Lu Zhaoling said.
"Yes Yes."
Old Ghost Tian said to her again, "By the way, Master, that Jia Tan is nothing. You should pay attention to his sister who returned to her parents' home after her husband died."
"Oh?"
"It's not that woman, but the boy she brought with her. That boy is not a human. Most of what the Jia family did recently was at the behest of that boy."
"I heard that the Jia family didn't do very well in Zhilin City. It was only after this girl brought the young man there that they became wealthy in just one year, and then returned to Dagui Village."
"it is good."
Old Ghost Tian bowed respectfully to Zhou Shiyue again, then disappeared all of a sudden.
Although the military advisor and the others didn't know what Lu Zhaoling had talked about with him, seeing that Lu Zhaoling could make a ghost so awed, they had a better understanding of Lu Zhaoling's abilities.
They soon arrived at the ancestral hall.
As I got closer, I saw bright flames.
There is a strong breath of life here.
Most of the villagers gathered here holding torches, and they seemed to have already known that the soldiers had entered the village. Now they were glaring at them angrily, and all of them looked like they wanted to rush up and fight to the death.
"Where do they get the confidence from? They even dare to be angry?" Qingyu found it hard for her to understand.
Standing in front of these villagers were a few people who were obviously dressed much more elegantly.
In the middle is a middle-aged man with a greasy face.
The military advisor whispered, "This man is Jatan."
Lu Zhaoling's eyes swept over these people.
She was looking for that little aunt Jia and the young man she brought with her.
But I didn't see it.
Jatan took a step forward.
"Military Advisor, what exactly do you want to do? In the middle of the night, you bring so many soldiers into our village. Soldiers are not allowed to disturb the people. Isn't this a rule set by the Emperor?"
