Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Chapter 157 The Liu Family Catches Ghosts

Finally, Lu Li discovered that the negative energy left the yard and spread to the courtyard at the rear left.

"Which direction is Mr. Liu in?"

Lu Li pointed to the left rear, but because of the wall blocking his view, he couldn't see what was going on over there.

I can only ask Mr. Liu.

"Over there, over there is the warehouse in the backyard, where valuables are stored.

All the less important items are stored in the front yard warehouse."

Lu Li had a rough guess in his mind.

"I wonder if I can open it and take a look. I can also send someone I trust to be present."

Mr. Liu said generously: "No need, just go directly over, the Taoist priest is not a bad person."

Several people came to the door of the treasury, and Mr. Liu took out the key and asked the servant to open the door.

This door is equipped with three locks, and from the outside it seems that there are no windows, which shows how much importance Mr. Liu attaches to this warehouse.

As the door opened, Lu Li felt a gust of cold wind blowing out, while the others only felt a chill on their backs but did not take it seriously.

Just as Mr. Liu was about to go in, Lu Li stopped him.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Liu, if I am not mistaken, the ghost is here.

You'd better take some protection."

Mr. Liu's eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed his finger at the warehouse and said to Lu Li, "The Taoist priest said that the ghost came out from here."

"Not bad!"

Ren Tingting and Jiang Wei were also surprised that there could be a ghost hiding in this warehouse.

"Master Lu, please don't talk nonsense. It will be hard to make a fuss if you have no evidence."

Jiang Wei no longer concealed his hostility towards Lu Li.

He had seen other Taoists at least set up an altar and took a peach wood sword to pretend.

This Lu Li is just wandering around in this yard doing nothing, thinking that there is a ghost here, so I don't think he has any bad ideas.

"You want evidence, you'll see it in a moment. Now I'm going to put amulets on you to ward off evil spirits and prevent you from being attacked by evil spirits."

"I don't need it, Tingting, what about you?"

Jiang Wei would never believe Lu Li’s nonsense.

He felt that the holy water in the church was more useful than that broken talisman.

Moreover, he was carrying a cross that he had purchased from a Western priest at a high price.

"I still want it!"

Ren Tingting had seen Lu Li's abilities firsthand and knew that he wouldn't say that for no reason.

Lu Li raised his hand and two exorcism talismans shining with golden light shot onto Mr. Liu and Ren Tingting.

"what!"

The two of them looked at this scene in amazement, and then started searching their bodies.

“No need to look for it, the talisman was formed by my magic power and has an effect of twelve hours.

Jiang Wei still didn't want to believe it, but he already felt secretly regretful in his heart.

This doesn't look like magic.

But Lu Li ignored him and led the way into the warehouse.

The room inside was quite big, with more than a dozen large boxes on the ground, each of which was locked.

There are more than a dozen rows of shelves in the room, which are also filled with porcelain and calligraphy and paintings.

These should all be from famous artists.

Lu Li also discovered several golden Buddhas, but none of them had been consecrated and were just valuable items.

The further he walked, the heavier the yin energy became, and Lu Li finally stopped at the second to last shelf.

His eyes were fixed on a porcelain incense burner.

This incense burner is colorful, with a lid on top and several rows of small holes on the lid to facilitate the smoke outflow.

Pointing at the incense burner, Lu Li said to Mr. Liu: "This thing should be something Mr. Liu has just acquired."

Mr. Liu looked at the incense burner carefully, with a thoughtful expression.

"I remember that I bought this in an antique shop a few days ago.

It's not worth much. It's from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty.

It was just a bright color, and I liked it, so I just bought it.

There was also a painting by Qi Baishi at the time, and the housekeeper probably thought the incense burner was as valuable as the painting, so he put it here.”

Lu Li didn't ask any more questions, but looked at the incense burner.

A blue light flashed in his eyes, and then he clearly saw a male ghost wearing a Qing Dynasty patched clothing standing in the incense burner.

The ghost mask did not look ferocious, it just stared at the people with a pretend ferocious expression.

At least in Lu Li's opinion, this ghost is a bit silly and cute.

"Are you coming out on your own, or should I ask you to come out?"

Lu Li said calmly.

"Who is the Taoist priest talking to?"

Mr. Liu and Jiang Wei looked around and then looked at Lu Li.

Lu Li ignored them. Instead, Ren Tingting thought of something and moved closer to Lu Li.

"I am the elder of Maoshan. You should know what this means. Don't be ungrateful!"

Lu Li's tone became heavier, and his voice also had a hint of magic power.

To the male ghost, it sounded like the morning bells and evening drums, making his head buzz.

"I'm coming out, I'm coming out, Taoist priest, please spare my life! I have never harmed anyone."

Suddenly, an outsider's voice was heard in the treasury, which scared several people.

Mr. Liu and Jiang Wei could hardly stand, and the two servants guarding the door were trembling with fear.

Only Ren Tingting was prepared. Although her expression changed, she stood firmly on the spot.

"If you want to harm someone, do you think I will still stand here and talk nonsense with you?"

Lu Li waved his hand, and several people saw a figure slowly appearing next to the shelf.

He was wearing a Qing Dynasty-style patched robe and an official hat, and his face was pale and bloodless.

He looked very thin, kneeling on the ground and looking at Lu Li pitifully.

"That's him. That's who I saw at the beginning!"

Mr. Liu grabbed Lu Li's sleeve, half-hid his body behind Lu Li, and pointed at the male ghost and said in panic.

Jiang Wei was really scared this time. It was the first time he saw a real ghost.

He kept repeating, "Ali Luya, Lord, save me!"

Originally, Ren Tingting thought her husband was elegant and knowledgeable.

The more I look at this, the more I dislike it. Could this be an embroidered pillow?

"Tell me, why are you here, and why did you scare the Liu family for no reason?"

"It's unfair, Taoist priest, this is my home!

I was originally from the Su Mansion, my name was Zhang Ming, and later I passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi during the Jiaqing period because my family was well-off.

After making arrangements, he came to the capital of Dongfu Province and took up the post of prefect."

"Your family is quite wealthy."

Lu Li said in surprise.

To be able to become a prefect right after passing the exam, this man’s family must be extremely wealthy.

The male ghost said bitterly: "Too much money is also a curse. I offended the local rich man because of a case.

That wealthy man had relatives in the court, so he set his eyes on my property and reported me to the emperor.

They accused me of accepting bribes and robbing women, and that my words were often disrespectful to the Emperor.

In this way, I was dismissed from my post, investigated, and imprisoned in the government office, waiting for the officials from the capital to come and arrest me.

That night, I became more and more angry, so I hanged myself under the eaves of the courtyard to prove my innocence."

"you?"

Lu Li thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an adjective, and finally said one sentence.

"You are quite thoughtful. Do you have proof of innocence?"

Zhang Ming said aggrievedly: "No, the officials from the capital came and said he committed suicide out of fear of punishment and left.

My property was also divided up by the rich man and his relatives.

I was so angry that I turned into a ghost to go and argue with him, but he hired someone to seal me in this incense burner.

I could not come out until this gentleman bought me and returned to the mansion.

But it is limited to this house and the yard where I committed suicide."

Everything is cleared up.

People who committed suicide would usually be confined near the original place after becoming ghosts.

As long as the obsession remains in your heart, the suicidal complex will continue to repeat.

Zhang Ming's case is special, and he should have been banned before the seventh day.

So after coming back, you can escape from the predicament only by being influenced by the suicide place.

But because of this, he would be trapped in that yard.

"What do you want? It's been a hundred years since the incident. Your enemies are long dead, and this place is no longer your home."

"Master, can I go and reincarnate? I don't want to be locked up here anymore."

Lu Li thought about it and realized that he did not have any violent temper, which meant he had never harmed anyone.

However, if you commit suicide, you will be punished.

"I can help you remove the ban and send you to the underworld, but you will be held responsible for suicide. I can't help you with that."

Zhang Ming kowtowed to Lu Li.

"I am already very satisfied, thank you, Taoist Priest."

Zhang Ming is not a bad person, but he is just too unlucky, so Lu Li wants to take better care of him.

He took out the token that Bai Shisan had given him in Tengteng Town.
