I want to cultivate swordsman

"Then what's the problem with the antique dealer?" Widow Pan couldn't help asking when Xu Zhiqiu's face changed slightly.

"There are some problems." Xu Zhiqiu nodded and said: "The jade beads in this sachet are related to ghosts. I think the reason why my sister can't sleep peacefully these days should be because of the jade beads."

"Ghost!" Widow Pan covered her mouth and exclaimed, throwing herself on Xu Zhiqiu's body, trembling, she didn't know whether it was intentional or not, she tightly hugged Xu Zhiqiu's arm with both hands, squeezing back and forth in her arms.

Xu Zhiqiu tried to pull out his arm tentatively, but failed several times, so he gave up.

"Since it's a ghost, maybe there is a way to get rid of it?" Widow Pan asked with a trembling voice. She was really scared. After all, she was just an ordinary woman. How could she not be afraid of ghosts? If she was entangled, she would lose her life.

Xu Zhiqiu saw that she was very scared, so he said a few words of comfort, "It's not difficult to get rid of it, sister, don't panic. Do you still remember the appearance of the antique dealer?"

It's really not difficult, the cold aura in this jade bead is very weak, even weaker than the picture scroll of Sun Dabao's family.

Hearing what he said, Widow Pan gradually calmed down, and after thinking about it seriously in her mind, she waited until the antique dealer's face emerged from her memory, and said, "I remember, it's a very thin old man with a right eyebrow. There is a conspicuous scar at the bone."

There is a scar on the brow bone of the right eye. Xu Zhiqiu remembered this feature in his heart and asked, "Do you still remember where you met him?"

"It's near Minglan Street." Widow Pan said this time without even thinking about it.

She remembers this location very clearly, because there is a store on Minglan Street that specializes in custom-made women's products. She went to the store that day, and then saw an antique dealer setting up a street stall. She bought the sachet when she saw it was good. .

Minglan Street...Xu Zhiqiu remembered that the last time the store owner said it was on Qingliu Street, this time Widow Pan said it was on Minglan Street. It seems that this antique dealer will set up stalls in different places every time.

This approach is not surprising, after all, the things sold are not normal.

But why only stay in Lin'an County and not transfer to other counties?Could it be that he has an enmity with Lin'an County and wants to disturb this place?Xu Zhiqiu was thinking in his heart, when Widow Pan's curse sounded in his ears:

"What an old man who gave birth to a son without eyesight. I passed by that day and looked at him pitifully. I thought that everyone was poor and could help, so I bought that sachet. I didn't think it was kind but it was not good He actually sold ghosts to harm me, tomorrow I will report to the officials, and I will definitely let him go to prison to eat!"

In Lin'an County, if people encounter ghosts and ghosts, the best way is to report to the government, and then the government will send people to Fucheng to report to Tianwei Pavilion, so that monks will come to investigate.

It's just that Lin'an County is located in a remote place, and it takes at least half a month to go back and forth, so most of the time I go to Xuanyun Temple to ask the old Taoist to help.After all, distant water cannot quench near thirst.

Xu Zhiqiu did not persuade Widow Pan to report to the government. He also thought it was a good choice, because since the antique dealer can sell ghosts, his strength is not low. It is safest to ask the monks of Tianwei Pavilion to solve the problem. .

"Master Xu..." Widow Pan relieved her anger after scolding, but the feeling of fear came back again, "Let's help my sister to see again, is there any other dirty things in my room?"

Xu Zhiqiu asked: "Besides this jade bead, have you bought anything else from that antique dealer?"

Widow Pan shook her head.

"Then there is no need to worry."

Xu Zhiqiu said so.But in order to reassure Widow Pan, she checked again, this time in more detail, and looked under the bed, and finally she was sure that there was only the evil object, Yuzhu, in the room.

Now that the root of the problem has been found, Xu Zhiqiu intends to take Yuzhu to leave, but Widow Pan wants him to stay here because she is still very scared.

"Master Xu, can't you just stay for one night?"

"I'm afraid something is wrong."

"But I... But I'm still not at ease."

"My sister can just rest at ease, there won't be any problems in this house."

"really?"

"Nature is true"

Seeing that Xu Zhiqiu insisted on leaving, Widow Pan had no choice but to give up, and then took out a small money bag from the drawer: "Here is three qian qian, which is considered as the reward for tonight. I hope Mr. Xu will not think too little."

Three qian is three hundred wen, not too much, not too little. Widow Pan's tofu stall will take a month to earn back.

Xu Zhiqiu looked at the patched purse, hesitated for a while and finally took it in his hand: "Thank you sister for that."

"Where is this?" Widow Pan suddenly felt a little at a loss, "I should thank Mr. Xu, the three coins are pitifully small, and the old Taoist leader can get five taels of silver."

The old Taoist priests in Xuanyun Temple only charge five taels of silver to everyone, which is actually not much. It is not worth mentioning to the rich and noble, but it is fatal to the poor.

"My sister will treat me to more tofu in the future."

Xu Zhiqiu stuffed the money bag into his clothes, opened the door and walked out while speaking, Widow Pan sent her all the way to the courtyard gate, and did not return to her room until Xu Zhiqiu was completely out of sight.

.........

On the edge of Wutong Street, Xu Zhiqiu held the dark green jade bead and didn't go home, because he didn't want to lure the ghost into the yard of his second uncle's house, so he stood by the street to see if the ghost would show up.

It's strange to say that the jade beads have been placed in Widow Pan's house for four or five days, but they didn't kill anyone, which is really rare.

"Could it be a ghost with kind thoughts?"

Xu Zhiqiu looked at the jade bead and guessed, and at the same time circulated the true energy in his body to dispel the chill that gathered around him. At this moment, the jade bead suddenly shone brightly, erratically like a candle, followed by a nearly transparent body coming out of the jade bead. , is a little girl who is only twelve or thirteen years old, wearing tattered old sackcloth, with two braids on her head.

Goblin?

Xu Zhiqiu subconsciously wanted to make a move, but he stopped in an instant, because something seemed wrong. The ghost that suddenly appeared did not do anything, but just quietly floated in the air with his eyes closed.

Are you asleep, or...

Xu Zhiqiu was slightly puzzled, and didn't know whether to make a move for a while. Just when he was wondering, the little girl suddenly exploded like fireworks, forming countless fine light spots, most of which were absorbed by the bronze mirror in Xu Zhiqiu's mind, leaving behind The lower part is condensed into a chain that is hard to see with the naked eye, and is wrapped around Xu Zhiqiu's wrist.

Now Xu Zhiqiu finally understood that he was plotted against by the antique dealer.

Strictly speaking, this jade bead is not a ghost, but an artifact that has been cast with a forbidden technique. The little girl who appeared from the jade bead just now is no longer a ghost, but a part of the forbidden technique.

Xu Zhiqiu had seen it in Qingyangzong's classics.

This forbidden technique is called: Chasing Soul Seal.It is necessary to ingest the souls of the undead and store them in containers through forbidden techniques.The function is to leave a mark on the nearby monks, but it has no effect on ordinary people. It can be distinguished by true energy.
