The invincible female ghost is a bit love-struck.

Chapter 15 Gu Qingwan

Eek~

Where did this saying come from?

Looking at Zhao Qiao'er's anxious face, Lu Yuan couldn't help but grin:

"What are you talking about? We have hands and feet, why should we let Auntie support us for the rest of our lives?"

Zhao Qiao'er grew anxious, her tone becoming increasingly coquettish:

"So what? Auntie has plenty of money. Come back to Fengtian City with me, and I'll buy you a big house. You'll live a life of luxury every day!"

Hearing Zhao Qiao'er's words, Lu Yuan grinned and shook his head.

That's definitely not an option.

It sounds great, but Lu Yuan still has aspirations.

With the [Slay Demons and Exterminate Evil] system, it's only a matter of time before Lu Yuan becomes a Grand Celestial Master.

How can you give up becoming a Grand Celestial Master for this little thing right now?

Moreover, to put it bluntly, if Lu Yuan really wanted to become that kind of person...

Do we still need Zhao Qiao'er?

Aunt Qin had been eagerly anticipating his move-in.

Seeing that Lu Yuan shook his head in disagreement, Zhao Qiao'er hurriedly put down the chicken soup in her hand, wrapped her arms around Lu Yuan's arm, and said in a sweet and soft voice:

"What's wrong with going to Fengtian City? What's there to support? Why insist on doing this deadly work!"

Lu Yuan could only shake his head and begin to explain the value of the product.

They said they were saved by the old man, and that as his disciple, they bore the responsibility of bringing glory to the sect, and so on...

Basically, it's the same thing I told Aunt Qin before, and I'm telling Zhao Qiao'er the same thing now.

This left Zhao Qiao'er speechless.

After speaking with Zhao Qiao'er, Lu Yuan turned to Xu Erxiao beside him and immediately said:

"Where's the next one?"

At this moment, Xu Erxiao also put down the chicken soup, took out a small notebook, flipped through a few pages, and then looked at Lu Yuandao:

"Brother Lu, the next place is in Donglin Village, which is thirty miles away from here."

The village chief's grandson in Donglin Village is possessed by an evil spirit; he has a persistent fever that won't go away.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan pondered for a moment.

Thirty li is not far; it only takes three or four hours to get there.

We'll depart in the afternoon and arrive before 8 PM.

Besides, dealing with being possessed by an evil spirit is easy. Lu Yuan's health isn't a big problem right now; he just needs to sunbathe every day at noon.

Lu Yuan immediately nodded and said:

"Pack up, we'll rest for a bit after we eat, and then we'll leave."

However, before leaving, Lu Yuan planned to ask the mayor of Ningyuan Town about the lonely grave on the mountain.

As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, Zhao Qiao'er clung tightly to his arm, extremely anxious:

"Where are you going!"

"Even if you absolutely have to do this job, you need to recover from your injury first!"

"Look at the state you've become! How are you going to go?"

"Don't go yet. Come back to Fengtian City with me first. I'll find you the best doctor so you can get better!"

To this, Lu Yuan shook his head and said with utmost seriousness:

"That won't do. It's almost the end of the year, and all the disciples in the temple have gone out. If I go back to recuperate now, there will be no one to take over my duties."

Besides, our employers are all desperately waiting for us to save their lives.

If we just quit like that, aren't we playing with other people's lives?

Actually, I'm fine; three days of sunshine will do the trick.

Lu Yuan spoke sincerely, and that was truly what he thought.

In this context, the role of a Taoist priest is equivalent to that of a doctor or a firefighter.

The landlord only goes to the Taoist temple to pray when he encounters a really difficult and dangerous situation.

A Taoist priest's visit to a family costs several tens of yuan. Unless it's a matter of life and death, which farming family would be willing to spend that much?

If you don't go at this time, they won't have time to find someone else, and they'll be desperately waiting for you to save their lives.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood; if they can go, they will naturally go.

If you really want to take a break, then you have to finish all this work and go back to the temple to rest.

I'll take on work again when I've had a proper rest.

You can't just leave halfway through the trip, ignore the rest of the work, and go back to the temple to rest. That's not how you do things.

Of course, Lu Yuan is not a saint. If his body does not allow it, Lu Yuan will naturally not force himself.

But Lu Yuan isn't in any major trouble right now.

Although the battle with the two-legged sheep was fierce, strangely enough, upon closer inspection, Lu Yuan was actually unharmed.

Now all I need to do is sunbathe for an hour or two every day at noon.

Of course, if it's a cloudy day and you can't get any sunshine, then you'll feel very cold the next day, but it's not a big deal.

In addition, the matter of being possessed by evil spirits is also easy to resolve.

This is not the dangerous job of turning Old Master Xu into a zombie.

Go over and check the situation. Just pour a whole bowl of talisman ash water down the drain, and that should be enough. It's very simple.

So, if I can go, I definitely should. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda...

Zhao Qiao'er stared blankly at Lu Yuan, her red lips parted as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a word...

Zhao Qiao'er knew that her good nephew was kind-hearted; otherwise, why would he risk his life to save her?

The more Lu Yuan acted this way, the more heartbroken Zhao Qiao'er felt.

Looking at Zhao Qiao'er, whose face was full of heartache, Lu Yuan grinned and said:

"Auntie, don't worry, we definitely won't risk our lives. We'll be fine."

"We'll have to go to Fengtian City to wish you and Aunt Qin a Happy New Year during the Spring Festival!"

Zhao Qiao'er picked up the chicken soup again, ladling it for Lu Yuan while coquettishly scolding him with a mix of heartache and annoyance:

"What a stubborn little brat!"

"Eat your food!"

Lu Yuan grinned and began to eat his meal with peace of mind.

Two large bowls of chicken soup, plus two fluffy, freshly steamed white buns, left Lu Yuan so full he kept burping.

One steamed bun would have been enough for Lu Yuan, but Zhao Qiao'er insisted on feeding him another one. He was unhappy if he didn't eat it.

After Lu Yuan finished eating, the Xu family members returned.

The funeral for Old Master Xu was supposed to be held last night, but after Zhao Qiao'er's incident, the Xu family only went up the mountain this morning.

I've finished my work and just come down from the mountain.

"Master, you are merciful."

As soon as the old master of the Xu family entered the courtyard, he quickly stepped forward and bowed to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan lay back in the recliner, smiling and slightly bowing in return:

"May the Heavenly Venerable bestow boundless blessings..."

"Is everything done?"

The old man from the Xu family nodded repeatedly and said:

"Thanks to the Taoist priest, everything on the mountain has been completed."

"Taoist Master, what you're doing..."

Lu Yuan smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"I'm fine, I'll just need to sunbathe for a bit."

Before Old Master Xu could ask anything, Lu Yuan immediately said:

"Grandpa, do you know anything about that lonely grave?"

A lonely grave?

The old man from the Xu family was stunned for a moment.

Lu Yuan then described the location of Gu Qingwan's grave.

After thinking for a moment, the old man of the Xu family suddenly realized:

"You mean that one? I know it, I know it."

"That woman is from my grandmother's generation..."

Upon hearing that Old Master Xu knew, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up. With Zhao Qiao'er's help, he sat up immediately and quickly said:

"Then tell me, what's her situation?"

What's going on??

what does this mean?

The old man of the Xu family looked at Lu Yuan with some curiosity.

Lu Yuan quickly replied:

"So... you know how he died?"

Evil spirits are similar to Taoist priests.

The Taoist priest wanted to become a Celestial Master, a Grand Celestial Master.

Not only do you need to work hard to cultivate yourself, but more importantly, you also need to have natural talent.

There's a saying that goes, whether a person succeeds or not depends 70% on talent and 30% on hard work.

If you don't have the talent, no matter how hard you practice, it's useless.

The same applies to evil spirits.

Gu Qingwan's danger level is 20 stars.

This means that she must have been extremely resentful when she died.

With such a strong sense of malevolence, one's cultivation level naturally increases rapidly.

Lu Yuan wanted to know how Gu Qingwan died back then, and how... how she could be so full of resentment.

Let's see if there's any way to calm her down and allow her to be reborn.

As Lu Yuan finished speaking, the old man of the Xu family couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, the Xu family brought a chair for the old man. After sitting down, the old man sighed and shook his head, saying:

"She...is so pitiful..."

Back when the Qing dynasty was still in power, the county magistrate's grandson was fishing in the river when his feet got tangled in the weeds, and he thrashed about, crying for help.

Gu Qingwan was washing clothes on the riverbank when she threw down the washing stick and jumped in. She managed to pull herself up, but she was swept away by the eddy current at the bottom of the river.

The body floated to the surface the following morning, wedged near a stone bridge pier downstream.

Hearing the old man's words, Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

Although it sounds like he died unjustly, it's not enough to make him a vengeful ghost.

The old man then said quietly:

"According to the old custom in the town, if an unmarried girl dies violently, she cannot enter the house, for fear of bringing bad luck with her."

Her father silently smoked a pipe, then pulled out a tattered burlap sack, intending to wrap his daughter in it.

But the town's clan chief said that the water thrown into the ground was a curse, and it had to be hung at the village entrance for three days to be exposed to the sun and the wild wind so that the curse would dissipate before it could be buried.

His younger brother was unhappy that his sister was suffering like this, so he argued with the townspeople. Someone shoved him, and his head hit a rock; he died.

Lu Yuan: "..."

This……

The old man shook his head and sighed:

In the end, we let her hang it on the old locust tree at the entrance of town for three whole days.

"Her parents couldn't take it. In just two days, both their son and daughter were gone. In the end, the father went mad and the mother went insane."

"In the end, the villagers couldn't bear it and buried her, but because she died a violent death, the clan chief wouldn't allow her to be buried in the village's ancestral graveyard."

"Just bury her all alone next to him..."

Lu Yuan felt a pang of guilt as he listened, and couldn't help but say:

"Didn't she save the magistrate's grandson? Why doesn't the magistrate say anything?"

Hearing this, the old master of the Xu family snorted coldly:

"That magistrate is a demon. He doesn't treat us like human beings and ignores us completely. He's even afraid that if she dies a violent death, she'll become a vengeful ghost and cause him trouble."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but curl his lip.

Sure enough, not everyone is like Aunt Qiao'er and Aunt Meiqin, who know how to repay kindness.

Lu Yuan pondered, Gu Qingwan is indeed pitiful. If she is not a vengeful ghost, then there are no vengeful ghosts in the world.

only……

If just because of this, it becomes a super dangerous level 20...

Lu Yuan always felt it wasn't enough, that something was missing...

and……

Lu Yuan remembered that Gu Qingwan was dressed in a red bridal gown...

While Lu Yuan was pondering, the old man of the Xu family remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said mysteriously:

"The most pitiful thing is..."

"Two or three years later, her grave was dug up and her coffin opened, and she was forced into a ghost marriage."

Do you know who the man is?

"It's the magistrate's grandson!"
