63, stone ginseng
"The juren, no children were lost in the village, but a few poultry died, but they were worshipped by the village elders to the Qinglian Sword Immortal."
Listening to Li Xiaoliu's inquiry about the news, Zhuo Jingning pondered.
He is trying to compare it with the introduction in "Looking for Dragons and Returning to the Clan".
"Seeking Dragon Returns to the Sect" can be regarded as an encyclopedia of ghosts. Although the introduction of the method of practice is quite comprehensive, it is not very detailed, so that Zhuo Jingning saw the path of practice in "Seeking Dragon Returns to the Sect" for the first time, he felt that cultivating his mind was completely based on his face.
However, compared to this practice, the narrative of ghosts is very detailed!
Even classified.
To be honest, Zhuo Jingning is indeed trying to attack the Qinglian Sword Immortal at the moment. His punishment is only one layer of reinforcement, which is not enough at all.
And he had this idea, not that he was ignorant of life or death, but that it was recorded in "Seeking Dragon and Returning to the Clan" that any ghosts and monsters that need sacrifices may be connected to the sky, reversed black and white, and made grass by humans; or flies and dogs are not afraid of it!
This sentence means that any ghost who needs sacrifices or worship is either to go all the way through the sky and the earth, completely inverting right and wrong, making life without knowing life, death without knowing death, and is boundless; it is not that there is no great threat and is not afraid of it.
That's why Zhuo Jingning instructed Li Xiaoliu to inquire about the children and poultry in Luoyao Village.
Judging from the current situation, the Qinglian Sword Immortal from Luoyao Village is undoubtedly the latter who needs sacrifices in "Seeking Dragon Returning to the Sect"!
Zhuo Jingning was moved.
Because he learned from his chat with Lee Sang-hee that there was a strange thing in the Lee family, which was bought by Lee Sang-hee's father when he was still alive.
If he uses a strange object to seriously injure the Qinglian Sword Immortal first, and then use punishment...
The feasibility of this plan is still very high.
In the end, Zhuo Jingning decided to take a chance!
At the same time, it also strengthened Zhuo Jingning's idea of trying every means to obtain a larger official position in the Qing Dynasty. He did not need to reach the level of a first-rank official, but only needed to be qualified to know most of the secrets of those ghosts.
After all, he had recognized Bai Weng as his adoptive father before, but he never heard him talk about the strange things in the Bai family. When he arrived at the Li family, because of Li Wanshu, when he was chatting after dinner, Li Shanghe saw that he was interested in practicing, he said it directly.
From this point of view, it can also be seen that strange things are not very precious in Qingshan County. They are basically all things that are rich and rich. There is no such thing as being coveted by people after leaking the news.
Otherwise, Lee Sang-he would not have said it out loud.
The Bai family is far better than the Li family, but the strange thing has never been told to him from beginning to end, which shows that Bai Weng did not treat him sincerely at all.
Of course, he himself is also worth a lot of money, and he is not qualified to talk about it in this regard.
"Didn't you say you're going to build an altar?" The village elder had not left yet. Seeing Zhuo Jingning's appearance of no movement, he couldn't help but come up and said, with a dark face and a very stimulating tone.
Zhuo Jingning took a look, but Li Xiaoliu did not respond. Zhuo Jingning shook his head, "You can't rely on your seniority to do this, right?"
So he said, "Your village is old and you don't have to bask in the sun here, so you don't have to worry about getting sick. By the way, has the rent of your fields increased?"
Land rent is a fatal blow to hired farmers.
Immediately, two strong men came over to carry the old man in the village and took him away. As they heard their names, they were all sons of the old man in the village. Looking at the strong physiques and red faces, and looking at the faces of the other people in the same village, we know that these two men often use their own old man to make public and private interests.
Zhuo Jingning walked towards Li Shanghe. At this moment, Li Shanghe was relieved. When he saw Zhuo Jingning coming, he came up and asked, "Did Brother Zhuo find something?"
Because of the close relationship, Lee Sang-hyuk changed his name at this time.
"It's really not to be hiding it. Brother Li, I have practiced and have been lucky enough to enter the Tao. According to my observation, this Qinglian Sword Immortal is probably a ghost." Zhuo Jingning whispered.
Lee Sang-he's face changed drastically in an instant.
"Take it seriously?" His voice was quick.
Zhuo Jingning then nodded and said, "This ghost..."
However, before he finished speaking, Li Shanghe interrupted him: "It's time to go, brother, let's go and explain this to the county magistrate."
"The county magistrate still cares about this?" Zhuo Jingning couldn't help asking.
When Li Shanghe heard this, his face hesitated.
"Brother Li is in a difficult situation?"
"The county magistrate is indeed in charge of this matter, but the ghost will be solved by whoever appears in. If it cannot be solved, ask the yamen to take action and get 200,000 taels of silver! In addition, this round-trip report is a quick rush, and it will take two or three days to invite someone." Li Shanghe looked painful.
This is not 20,000 taels of silver, but 200,000 taels!
If the Li family took out so much silver at once, they would probably decline overnight and all wealth and honor dissipate like smoke and clouds.
"Isn't there any strange thing in Brother Li's mansion?" Zhuo Jingning said strangely.
"But I don't know how to use this strange thing." Li Shanghe looked helpless.
Zhuo Jingning's eyes lit up. He had no good excuses at first, so he immediately said, "Brother Li, why not let me see. When I was practicing, I had to pass on a collection of books. The book introduced some strange things, maybe I've seen them."
"Okay, okay." Li Shanghe looked happy and hurriedly took the people back.
When he rushed back to Li's mansion, Li Wanshu was talking to her sister-in-law. When he saw Zhuo Jingning and Li Shanghe rushing back, he was surprised, but he didn't stop them and asked what was going on.
Li Shanghe led Zhuo Jingning to his study room, took off a mahogany box from the study shelf, and after opening it, Zhuo Jingning saw a human-shaped ginseng. What's strange is that the whole wood texture was like wood.
"Stone ginseng?" Zhuo Jingning looked at it and couldn't help but say. He happened to see this strange object in "Seeking Dragon and Returning to the Sect". Although it is made of wood, it is not wood. It looks like ginseng, but not ginseng. It is a natural strange stone. It is said that there are only 108 "stone ginseng" in the world.
Stone ginseng cannot harm ghosts, but it can cause damage to monsters.
"My brother knows it? Do you know how to use it?" Li Shanghe couldn't help but say.
“Natural knows.”
"That's good, that's good." Li Shanghe said repeatedly, "I'll go find a trustworthy servant now. Brother, please wait here. I'll trouble you to tell me how he uses this stone ginseng."
"Why do you want to find servants? I'm afraid they can't expel the ghost, so I'd better go there, so as not to waste this strange thing." Zhuo Jingning stopped Li Shanghe and said this.
"How can this make it! Never!" Li Shanghe was anxious.
"What's wrong? Brother Li's affairs are my own affairs. Besides, I am also a person who has practiced. In terms of courage, it is beyond the reach of those servants." Zhuo Jingning said.
In the end, Lee Sang-hyuk agreed.
Zhuo Jingning immediately planned this plan to hunt and kill the Qinglian Sword Immortal.
Killing this Qinglian Sword Immortal is his plan. In addition, after this, the Li family, who owe a huge favor, cannot do their best to operate an official position for him?
The Li family does not have this power, but they have enough financial resources!
