After noon, the flowing stream cleaned the pots and dishes, put them back on the rack behind the old donkey and hung them, and the water stains ticked along the ground with the donkey's hooves.

After eating the pot of "Dragon and Phoenix Big Tonic Soup" made by Sun Yingxian, the group just turned from the path that the official road to the west of the capital continued to move forward. The road extended, and the forest was covered with fields, but it was not remote. After passing a forest, you could see fields, and there were many scattered villages in the distance.

The mountain village where Wang Tianshi is located is much farther away from here. Before leaving, Lu Liangsheng compared the direction and road on the map. The haunted village is also northwest, preparing to help Wang Tianshi's hometown get rid of evil ghosts.

After that, speed up the journey and rush to Heliangzhou in the northwest. It is time to go.

More than 100 miles away from the capital Tianzhi, the life in the nearby villages is not too barren. The fields of Wangjiazhuang are connected together and extend around the village to the foot of the mountain to the north.

There is also a 10-meter-wide river to the west. Lu Liangsheng and others came over the river bank from the mud road outside the village. Reeds on both sides were growing. It was autumn again. A gray-yellow color rippled in the wind, reflecting the afternoon autumn. The water surface sparkled, making people feel refreshed.

"There is a big river in the west, a mountain close to it, and a forest in the south to prevent the wind. The land is fertile and the scenery is also good. Why do you want to go outside?"

The scholar led the old donkey and his eyes extended down the river. When the wind blew, his robes and hair were caressed in the wind.

"I don't want to do it either."

Along the way, Wang Tianshi opened his eyes. After walking more than a hundred miles in a few hours, he could brag about his whole life when he returned to the village.

Looking at the scholar's back, he shook his head quickly, shook his thoughts away, and replied:

"...Mr. Lu, who is not afraid of this haunted person? I have seen him once. Oh, I was so scared that I was sick in bed for several days. I felt as uncomfortable as if my body was soaked in water. Once my body was weak, I could not do farm work and could only go out and find a meal to eat."

The setting sun shines on the scholar, and his beautiful face turns to the back.

"Well, did that evil ghost ever hurt human life? Where did he appear?"

"It seems that no life has been hurt..."

Wang Tianshi thought about it and it seemed that he had never heard of anyone who had died. He pointed further to the river bank.

"Just go down this river, there is a ferry crossing. I met it there last time. I took a look from afar and was so scared."

"Well, Taoist Sun is the best at exorcism."

Lu Liangsheng nodded thinking and looked behind, "Old Sun?"

Next to the old donkey behind, there was Sun Yingxian's figure. The toad Taoist in the bookshelf compartment was sitting next to him, with a rope tied between his waist, and he pointed at the river.

"I've gone to catch the fish."

The scholar looked over and saw a anxious figure running a few steps along the river, looking for the reeds at the beach, and didn't know what he was doing. He took a brush and painted it in his palm, and then pushed it into the river.

Just after hearing, there were several loud bangs, the river surface exploded, and several water columns rushed up, and countless bead curtains shone with the red glow.

"Old Lu, help!" Sun Yingxian shouted.

Between the water splashes that rushed into the sky and pressed down, there were still river fish falling down. Lu Liangsheng pinched his fingers and poked out his sleeves, looking forward and brushed away.

Just in Wang Tianshi's wide eyes, more than 20 fish fell in the air turned around in the air, flew towards the river bank, and landed around the scholar's feet.

Chapter 15 of "Selection of the Immortals in the South Water".

"There is a alchemist in Xiling who can learn a technique, which is not the five ghosts' fortune. The Xiling County Government Office was stolen, hundreds of taels of silver were stolen, and even people saw the silver floating in the air and flew to the distance. The constables in the yamen surrounded and suppressed the soldiers in the city, and finally arrested the thieves. When interrogated, they learned that this technique said: "Transfer and move."

....

Wang Tianshi opened his mouth for a long time before he came to his senses. He closed his mouth and hurriedly took off his worn-out coat, patted the dozen fish on the ground with their tails slammed and slapped them in his clothes together.

"The fish are fat and tender in autumn, and Master Sun is really good at the deliciousness of the mountains and wilds."

Below, Sun Yingxian stepped and stretched, jumped up lightly, and picked up two pieces in his hand, raising them in front of the scholar.

But it was taken over by Lu Liangsheng and said with a smile:

"It's getting late, so I can't stay in this village. You can't go there empty-handed, right?"

"Hey, borrow flowers to offer Buddha. After all, this 'flower' was brought up by this Taoist path."

When the Taoist followed the side and yelled, many villagers had already stood on the mud road outside the village. They probably heard the loud noises and rushed over. When they saw Lu Liangsheng and others coming down the river bank, they all pinched the farm tools in their hands.

"Who are you? Why are you here for us?"

Suddenly, a few strangers appeared, and there was another loud noise, which made them feel wary. Wang Tianshi ran over first and shouted at them at the top of his throat.

"I am Tashi, I don't recognize me?"

The villagers holding the hoe and carrying pole all laughed as they watched the figures running closer.

"Wang Shitou, why are you back?" "I've only been back in a few months, are you making money?" "Yes, Widow Li is still waiting for you to marry her!"

Most of the villagers who were joking were like this. Outsiders might feel a little sarcastic. Wang Tianshi, who was familiar with this place, was not angry and raised his chest in front of everyone.

"Hey, didn't I come here just by thinking about the village affairs? The city is delicious and has good food and accommodation, and I have monthly money to get, so I saved a lot of it."

Wang Tianshi stretched out his feet, staring at the toe of the shoe and raised his toes.

"See, the Zhang family tailor shop in the city is doing it better than Master Wang at our village head?"

After showing off, the villagers opposite made it difficult to speak. At this time, the crowd separated, an old man squeezed out, and the tail of the stick paused on the ground.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"It's not a matter of haunting in the village...thing..."

When Wang Tianshi saw the old man, he became honest and stood up straight, pointing to the scholar and Taoist who were holding the old donkey behind.

"Dad...I'm asking the village to exorcize ghosts..."

"I'm talking about ghosts, where are the ghosts from the village?" The old man raised his pole and knocked them over. Wang Tianshi didn't dare to fight back. After a few times, the old man was relieved and turned his head to look at the scholar and Taoist priest over there. He was carrying two bookshelfs. The scholar's robe with shallow apricot pattern on white background, with a handsome face, and nodding at him with a smile.

The Taoist priest on the side had a brand new Taoist robe, but his hair was a little messy, with a beard and short chin, and he didn't look like a good person.

"There are no haunted in our village, but the two of you are here from afar, and it's getting late, so come to my house together."

Lu Liangsheng and Taoist looked at each other, then looked at Wang Tianshi again.

I was a little confused.

"Let's take a look in the village."

The scholar whispered, and then followed the old man into the entrance of the village. The villagers around him dispersed one by one. After thinking, he came to the old man's house. The house was not big. There was a small courtyard in the entrance, and a peach tree was planted in the corner of the wall.

In the room, light blue flames slowly illuminate on the oil lamp.

The old man shook off the sparks on the fire note, put them aside, and asked Wang Tianshi to put the fish into the water tank outside, then turned around and invited Lu Liangsheng and Taoist to sit down.

He turned around to get the clay pot and poured two bowls of cold water over.

"You two haven't eaten yet, are you? The old man is going to cook some now and eat something."

"Okay, thank you old man."

Lu Liangsheng bowed and said, looking at Wang Tianshi, who was stirring the water tank in the yard, turned around and asked:

"Old man, are there any ghosts in this village?"

In front of the stove, the lit fire shone on the old man's face and was silent for a while.

“Some… are a shipkeeper.”
