early morning.

The slightly cold wind blew away the white mist, and thin clouds floated in the frozen blue sky.

Accompanied by the scattered roosters' crows, Yishui County gradually wakes up from its sleep.

As usual, Cui Tianyou came to work at the Exorcism Department Yamen early.

Last night, because he was drunk and high, he annoyed the "tigress" at home, and he was kept outside the house to blow the cold wind all night.

Although as a practitioner, sleep is not necessary for Cui Tianyou, but at this moment, he was yawning constantly because of mental exhaustion.

"Hmph, when I become famous one day, I must divorce that damn wife!" He cursed secretly in his heart, "First go to the Jiaofangsi in Luojing City to have fun for three days and three nights, and then get a seventy-eight-year-old girl who is as beautiful as a flower.

My concubine, let’s have a good time like an official!”

As the official in charge of documents, money and food, the first thing Cui Tianyou did after arriving at the Yamen every day was to read the latest Di newspaper to understand the important events that had happened in the Daqi court recently, and to synchronize these news with other officials.

.

The imperial court of the Qi Dynasty used special magic formations to deliver reports to various prefectures and counties.

Therefore, local officials can almost always know important national events at the first time.

"I wonder if there have been any new developments recently in the case of the Lu family's murderous house that has been hotly debated across the country," he thought to himself while flipping through the newspaper, "The reward of five thousand meritorious deeds and the high-grade spells look awesome.

It’s so mouth-watering!

"Oh, it would be great if all these rewards were mine.

"With these meritorious deeds, maybe I can improve my cultivation to a greater level - wait until then, let's see if that damn tigress still dares to be arrogant."

At this moment, he saw at a glance a clear line of large characters written on the front page of the Di newspaper:

"The case of Lu's murderous house has been solved."

Cui Tianyou suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He knew that the case of Lu's haunted house was no ordinary haunting incident.

According to rumors, the ghost in the abandoned old house is powerful and cunning - it is good at hiding its true identity with illusions, and can make people fall into traps silently and lose their way.

If Cui Tianyou remembers correctly, yesterday's newspaper still wrote that "the case is confusing and there is no progress."

How could it be solved so easily in just one night?

This sounds too unbelievable!

"Who is the person who solved this case? How could it be so amazingly efficient?" Cui Tianyou secretly guessed, "Could it be that a saint took action?"

However, in the next second, Cui Tianyou knew the answer to this question.

I saw him looking at the very familiar name in the newspaper, dumbfounded, feeling as if he was dreaming.

"Gu Xu, the manager of the Yishui Exorcism Department... Damn it, is this report fake? How could it be this kid?"

Cui Tianyou clearly remembered that not long ago, Gu Xu mentioned to him more than once that "it is important for people to have self-awareness", "don't have unrealistic thoughts", "desires that do not match one's own abilities should only be

It will make people feel painful." "We are all weak and helpless second-level monks. Cases of the level of Lu's Haunted House are too deep for us to control, so we should not get involved."...

Thinking of this, Cui Tianyou pinched himself hard to confirm that he had sobered up.

Then he took a serious look at the Di newspaper and saw that it was stamped with the seal of the Qi court, and the seal also exuded a special aura of true energy - which showed that the Di newspaper was indeed genuine and not a forgery.

"That little bastard Gu Xu is just making a fortune silently!" Cui Tianyou shook his head and couldn't help but cursed, "On the surface, he said no, no, no, but secretly, he quietly made earth-shattering news.

!

"Hmph, when he comes back, I must ask him to treat me to dinner at Piaoxianglou! Damn it, how dare you deceive me about my feelings! I hope I don't make you poor!"

…………

at the same time.

Shi Xiaohan walked briskly towards the small courtyard where Gu Xu lived.

She walked with a little bounce, like a little sparrow with fluffy feathers.

The morning sun gently caressed her pretty oval face, making her skin look as smooth and translucent as white porcelain.

The purpose of her trip is simple.

She was going to find Gu Xu for breakfast.

Although the health-preserving meals made by Gu Xu were too bland and did not suit her taste, she liked the feeling of sitting face to face with Gu Xu on both sides of the dining table and chatting with him freely.

Soon, she arrived at No. 17, Ping'an Lane, where Gu Xu lived.

Seeing the solemn black door and the steps at the door, she felt a sense of pride in her heart. She couldn't help but think to herself: "Gu Xu's house finally looks a little like what an official of the Qi Dynasty should look like."

Already."

She climbed the steps and knocked lightly on the door.

"Gu Xu, I'm here to eat with you again!" she said with a smile.

But Gu Xu did not respond to her, nor did he open the door for her like before.

A moment later, she heard an emotionless voice coming from the door: "My young master is out on business, please leave a message if you have anything."

Shi Xiaohan recognized that the voice belonged to the little book boy that Gu Xu had drawn on the screen using the technique of talisman and seal script.

"Going out to do errands! Going out to do errands again!" The smile on Shi Xiaohan's face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he stamped his feet depressedly, "That guy really only knows how to do tasks all day long!

"Hey, if you are short of elixirs, just tell me no? Why bother working so hard?"

Came full of expectations and returned full of disappointment.

Shi Xiaohan finally turned around and left, and went back to work in the Exorcism Department in a depressed mood.

However, at this moment, a dark-skinned, short boy held a newspaper in his hand and ran towards Shi Xiaohan happily.

It was Wang Yang, a junior official from the Exorcism Department and Gu Xu’s die-hard fan.

I saw him waving the newspaper and saying in a high-spirited manner: "Master Shi, come and read the latest newspaper! Brother Gu has secretly done a big thing outside without telling us!"

"Gu Xu? What did he do outside?"

Upon hearing the word "Brother Gu", Shi Xiaohan immediately stepped forward and snatched the newspaper from Wang Yang's hand.

When she saw the contents of the newspaper clearly, she took a deep breath and stood there blankly, unable to believe her eyes.

"'Eradicating the evil spirits in the Lu family's haunted house in one night and solving a serious problem in Qingzhou Prefecture'... This... is this really what he did?"

"Of course!" Wang Yang chuckled, "This is the imperial newspaper, and it is stamped with the imperial seal, so it cannot be faked.

"Master Shi, do you even doubt Brother Gu's ability? I have always believed in him!"

"No, I don't doubt it." Shi Xiaohan said without hesitation.
