Chapter 5 The first ghost hunt

 "Wencai, Qiu Sheng, you go to the town to buy a pot of good wine and some roast chicken. Remember, you need good wine." After saying that, he threw it to the two of them five oceans.

The two took over the ocean and were almost shocked.

"Senior Brother, did the master take the wrong medicine today and give us so much money? Usually, he only gives us a dozen copper coins." Wen Cai said with some resentment.

"You know what's the matter." Qiu Sheng grabbed Dayang and said, "This is to celebrate that we have an extra talented junior brother."

After a pause, Qiu Sheng said again: "We don't have the talent to learn Taoism anyway. Junior Brother Li is here, and the master will definitely not force us to practice martial arts anymore."

Wencai's eyes lit up and he said, "The eldest brother said it makes sense."

"Let's go and buy roast chicken!" Qiu Sheng said.

"Oh! Senior Brother, wait for me." Wencai hurriedly followed.

That night, Uncle Jiu got drunk and said a lot of nonsense to his three apprentices.

Seeing that the master was so happy, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai also drank loudly. In the end, the master and apprentice were all drunk.

Only Li Xin remained basically sober.

He got up and walked out of the house, recalling what had happened in the past month, and murmured to himself.

"Ji... There is a master like Uncle Ninth, it's pretty good to be a Taoist priest, haha!"

Time flies, and another three days have passed.

Uncle Jiu regarded Li Xin as his successor, and he taught him everything he could.

On this day, the master and the apprentice were talking in the yard.

"Is Uncle Jiu at home?"

At this moment, a young and anxious voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Li Xin, go and open the door." Uncle Jiu signaled.

Li Xin nodded and stood up to open the yard gate.

A young figure walked in, wearing a coarse cloth and straw sandals, and obviously his family was not wealthy.

A young man walked in and saw Uncle Jiu sitting there, and hurriedly ran over: "Uncle Jiu, Uncle Jiu! The village chief sent me to invite you to Wangjia Village, where it is haunted!"

When Uncle Jiu heard the word "haunted", his eyes were fixed and he stood up and poured him a cup of tea: "Don't be anxious, just say it slowly."

The young man rushed over and was very thirsty. After drinking three large glasses of water, he took a breath and said, "It's Wang Shiren's family. Wang Shiren's wife passed away a few days ago. Everyone settled down for the funeral, but they didn't care too much."

"As a result, it didn't take long before strange things happened." The young man said this, swallowing his saliva, and a hint of horror appeared in his eyes.

"What then?" Li Xin urged.

"In the past few days, every night, a woman's crying sounds from Wang Shiren's house, which sounds extremely terrible. And... there are also the crying sounds of children." The young man said.

Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment and asked, "Maybe he heard it wrong?"

"How is that possible?" The young man answered anxiously when he heard Uncle Jiu say this: "Many of us have heard it, and... the strangest thing is that Wang Shiren's body has become weaker and weaker in the past few days, his face is pale, and he feels that he can't hold on."

Uncle Jiu nodded and said to Li Xin: "Li Xin, go and prepare, let's go to Wangjia Village to have a look."

Li Xin nodded and turned back to the room.

The so-called preparation is to bring talisman paper, peach wood sword, Taoist robe, glutinous rice and other things in case of emergency needs.

After a while, Li Xin was ready and walked out of the yard: "Master, I'm ready."

Uncle Jiu nodded: "Let's go."

"Master, aren't we waiting for the eldest and second brothers?" Li Xin asked.

When they mentioned them, Uncle Jiu was a little annoyed: "These two guys, I don't know where they went to fool around."

Wangjia Village is not far from Renjia Town, and the three of them marched rapidly and could arrive in about two or three hours.

Along the way, Li Xin couldn't help feeling uneasy.

After all, this is his first time catching a ghost, so it is fake to say that he is not nervous.

Uncle Jiu saw that Li Xin was a little panicked and did not blame him because everyone had their first time.

I remembered the first time I was taken to catch a ghost by my master, and I was as nervous as Li Xin.

Uncle Jiu comforted him: "Li Xin, you must remember: people are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are afraid of humans seven points. No matter how powerful ghosts are, as long as you are fearless in your heart, it cannot pose a threat to you."

"Many ghosts use people's timidity to cause trouble. When a person's courage is small, the Yang Fire will become weak. When the Yang Fire is weak, it will naturally be more susceptible to the covetousness of ghosts."

"Just like your situation that night, your young master was sucked away from the temptation of the female ghost in a happy time because he could not resist the temptation of the female ghost."

"And you escaped because of fear, but just fell into the plot of the female ghost. It took the opportunity to steal the vitality and yang energy that were lost in large quantities due to fear."

"So, when you encounter those low-level black shadow ghosts, just deal with it, don't hesitate!"

Li Xin nodded. The study of these days has not been in vain. He has already had a general understanding of the level of ghosts.

From low to high, it is divided into: black shadow ghost, gray shadow ghost, white-clothed ghost, yellow-clothed ghost, blue-captured ghost, and red-serious ghost.

As for the more advanced evil spirit, Uncle Jiu did not continue to tell Li Xin.

Perhaps those high-level evil ghosts will not appear in this world, or they may encounter them, and more insights will be useless.

So he responded: "Master, I will keep it in mind. Thank you for your teachings."

Uncle Jiu looked at Li Xin with relief, his heart full of joy.

This little guy is talented, studious and motivated, and can listen to teachings. Compared with Wencai Qiusheng's two wooden minds, he is many times stronger.

Finally, just when it was getting dark, the three of them arrived in Wangjia Village.

At that time, people in the countryside were very frugal with lamp oil. Usually people would go to bed early to save lamp oil.

However, at this moment, Wangjia Village is brightly lit, and every household has lit the brightest lights.

In a bright and transparent environment, people always have greater courage than in a dark environment.

"Here, come! The mistress is back, and Uncle Jiu is here too!" A large group of people were waiting at the entrance of the village, and immediately shouted when they saw the three of them.

"Uncle Jiu..."

"Uncle Jiu..."

The crowd spoke in a messy voice, making it difficult to tell.

Uncle Jiu reached out and pressed it gently, and said gently: "Everyone, calm down, don't panic, just say it slowly."

In this area, Uncle Jiu has a very famous reputation. Whenever there is anything at home, he will invite Uncle Jiu to come and have a look.

After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, everyone gradually calmed down.

"Uncle Jiu, please trouble you." The old village chief of Wangjia Village sighed with a crutch.

"Uncle Wang, tell me what happened in detail." Uncle Jiu asked.

Although I heard a brief talk from young people before, I still need to ask more details.

Only by verifying each other and understanding the reasons can we better solve the problem.

The old village chief said the whole process again, which was basically consistent with what the young man said.

Generally speaking, after Wang Shiren's wife passed away, her soul had not dissipated and stayed in the world, stugging Wang Shiren.

Uncle Jiu felt strange in his heart and asked, "Where is that Wang Shiren?"

The old village chief was silent for a while and said, "He is in his house and hasn't been out for several days."

Uncle Jiu was about to ask again, but suddenly, a sharp cry came from the village, which made people feel goose bumps.

Uncle Jiu's face changed, "No, Li Xin, come in with me! Everyone should go to the bonfire at this point, don't walk around."
