Chapter 26 You spend money, I pay for my life

…

After returning to Yizhuang, it was already the ugly time, so everyone simply cleaned up and took a rest.

The next day, A Niu came over and told Li Mu that his brother had woken up, but he was already stupid.

"It's good to be able to save one life. Thank you so much for working so hard for him!"

"It doesn't matter, keep an eye on him in the future, especially at night, and don't let him go out. In his current situation, he is prone to attracting some ownerless souls. Take this talisman and wear it on him to avoid this kind of thing happening.

"

Li Mu took out a yellow talisman and handed it to A Niu, telling him to pay attention to Brother Niu and not let him wander around. Then A Niu was worried about Brother Niu, so he left Yizhuang and went home.

Li Mu turned around and found Uncle Jiu watching him from behind.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, come over and have breakfast."

Uncle Jiu smiled happily, shook his head and said.

At this time, Wen Cai had already brought breakfast, and Li Mu quickly went over to help.

Qiu Sheng also came over at this time, and everyone sat down to have breakfast together.

After breakfast, Li Mu was curious about where Uncle Jiu had been for the past three days, so he asked.

"Master, where have you been these three days?"

"I'm in the next town to discuss something with someone. By the way, when I came back, I took on a Feng Shui job. Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, and you two will go with me tomorrow. A Mu, you stay and look after Yizhuang.

These guests."

You don't need all the people in Yizhuang to look at Feng Shui. Yizhuang also needs people to look after it. If you leave a literary talent, you are afraid that he won't be able to handle something, and Qiu Sheng will not be able to live in Yizhuang, so Li Mu is the most suitable.

"Okay, Master."

Li Mu nodded obediently, while Qiu Sheng and the other two were a little frustrated. They also wanted to stay in Yizhuang and didn't want to follow Uncle Jiu to see Feng Shui. To see Feng Shui, they had to run around and climb mountains and wade, which was not a good idea for them.

live.

In this way, Uncle Jiu arranged a plan for each of them, and set off early the next day.

Li Mu cleaned up the Yizhuang, then burned incense and went back to his room to practice Qigong.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly Li Mu's ears moved. He heard the door of Yizhuang banging, so he went out to take a look.

After the door opened, what appeared in front of him was a panicked, haggard face, with eyes full of red bloodshot eyes, as if he hadn't had a good sleep in a few days.

"Is Uncle Nine here?"

As soon as the door opened, the man looked for Uncle Jiu, but by chance, he came just as Uncle Jiu had left.

He was seen anxiously looking at the lobby behind Li Mu, looking around, but did not see Uncle Jiu's figure.

"My master went to a neighboring town to study Feng Shui. What can I do for you?"

Li Mu saw that he was so nervous and anxious, so he asked him.

As soon as the man heard that Uncle Jiu was not there, his face immediately turned gray. Then when he heard Li Mu calling Uncle Jiu his master, hope was rekindled in his heart.

"Are you Uncle Jiu's apprentice?"

"That's right. If you have anything you can tell me, see if I can help you?"

Li Mu's words made the man's eyes light up, and he looked at him with hope.

"Well, I picked up a money bag on the road a few days ago."

Li Mu led the man into Yizhuang. After sitting down, the man told him everything he had encountered.

It turned out that this man was a villager from a neighboring village named Zhigang. He usually made a living by taking on some casual workers. One day when he was returning from work, he saw a money bag on the road and picked it up without anyone noticing. There were five pieces of money in it.

This made him extremely happy. His day's wages were less than one silver dollar, which was almost half a month's wages.

He bought some supplies with the money, and spent the rest eating and drinking with his coworkers.

But from this moment on, he became unlucky.

Being chased by a dog when you go out, or falling into a manure pit in a latrine are nothing.

The important thing is that he has been dreaming since the day before yesterday that he appeared in a coffin in a mourning hall, and a voice sang a song at the door of his house: "I will give you a bag of money, you give me your life, and when the money is spent, take your life."

, take your life!”

It was also these dreams that made him unable to eat or sleep well all day long. Now everyone knew that he was in trouble, so they suggested that he come and see Uncle Jiu.

Li Mu frowned as he listened to this story. This story reminded him of a ghost story from his early years.

A long time ago, it was rumored that in order to prolong life, people who were about to die threw away some magical money in various places. When others picked up the money and spent it, they sent imps to absorb life energy to replenish themselves. Some said that some

In order to obtain the body of a living person, the ghost will spend money to buy his life. When the living person has spent all the money, he will come to ask for his life, and then he will live in the world instead of the living person.

This is a method similar to a contract of betrayal, except that some contracts are based on your own will, but some are just taking advantage of people's greed to deceive the other party. By the time the other party finds out, the money has already been spent, and there is no regret after the contract is created.

.

This is the case with men. Just listen to what he wants. Now that the money has been spent, if you count the time, the other party will come to your door soon.

Thinking of this, Li Mu said to the man.

"The situation you are talking about is an evil method called buying life money."

"The moment you spend the money, a contract is signed with you. If you spend the money, he will pay for your life."

"So for people like you, it's hard for others to help you, and it's easy for you to be tainted by the cause and effect."

When the man heard this, the color on his face suddenly disappeared, he collapsed to the ground weakly, and asked with a trembling mouth.

"Is there really no other way?"

"You get up first, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Li Mu grabbed the man and helped him onto the stool again.

The man nervously grabbed the corner of his clothes and looked at Li Mu expectantly.

Among the books Li Mu read, there was a miscellany of ghosts and ghosts, which recorded ways to deal with various ghosts. When he heard what the man said just now, his mind started racing and he finally found the method he wanted.

"I have a method here that might work!"

Li Mu was not sure whether this method was reliable, but if it could be recorded in the book, it should be possible. However, out of caution, he did not tell the truth.

"Really? Please, Taoist Priest, save me!"

The man knelt down to Li Mu and was about to kowtow to him. Li Mu reached out and held his forehead.

"Hey, hey, don't kneel down yet. This method is recorded in our collection of books. Whether it is possible or not is another matter. You have to think about it."

Li Mu rubbed his brows. How should I put this? If he was not Uncle Jiu's apprentice, he would most likely not care about it. But since he is under Uncle Jiu's disciples, he would have to think more about what he does. If he rejects him

, when people know about it and rumors spread, how will others view Uncle Jiu!

When the man heard what Li Mu said, he was a little hesitant for a moment, but then he thought that instead of waiting to die without any solution, there was at least one way he could try. The man gritted his teeth and said firmly to Li Mu.

"Taoist Priest, tell me, it's like this anyway, no matter how bad it is, it can't be any worse!"

The man's words surprised Li Mu, but Li Mu agreed with his words. If he succeeded, he could escape, but if not, he would still die in the end.

Third update tonight
