    When he heard that there was business in the temple, Qing Xuzi's face became brighter, and he hurriedly told Fuyuan in a loud voice: "Haosheng, hello, I'll come right away."

    With that said, he drank all the tea in his hand, stood up and straightened his Taoist robe, took the fly whisk handed over by Qin Yao in his hand, cleared his throat, resumed the posture of a famous contemporary Taoist, and walked out.

    Qinyao and Ahan followed closely behind.

    When the three of them arrived at the front hall, they saw a bookish-looking middle-aged man sitting in the guest seat. He had gentle eyebrows and clean and decent clothes, but his face was very dark, with the word "unlucky" written all over it. Behind him,  There were two servants standing there. One master and two servants were both in exactly the same spirit.

    Hearing the sound of Qingxuzi and others coming in, the man looked up and saw that Qingxuzi was dressed in an immortal style. The hesitation in his eyes immediately dissipated a lot. He quickly stood up and said, "I have heard about the name of Taoist Master for a long time. I am Pei Lin.  Because there is something wrong in the mansion, I came here to invite the Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits."

    After saying that, he ordered the servant behind him to hand over the name card.

    Fuyuan took it in his hand and presented it to Qing Xuzi.

    Qingxuzi first sat down on the main seat, and then unfolded the famous post. Qin Yao looked behind and saw that it read: The Ministry of Households reported to Pei Han about the matter.  Suddenly startled, he looked up at Pei Lin, and it turned out that he was Pei Min's father.

    "Master Pei." Qing Xuzi closed the name post, stroked his beard, and said politely: "I don't know what happened in Master Pei's house. Please tell me in detail."

    Pei Lin glanced at the little Taoist boy behind Qing Xuzi who kept looking at him up and down. He felt a little strange in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to ignore him and said in a deep voice: "Taoist Master, to be honest, I never believe in strange powers."  It’s a chaotic thing to say, but ten days ago, many strange things suddenly happened in my house——”

    Qing Xuzi nodded and encouraged, "Please tell me."

    Pei Lin thought of the strange things he had experienced in these days, with a hint of panic on his face. He swallowed his saliva and said, "First, my wife had nightmares at night, saying that she always saw ghosts wandering around the house. She felt restless every night, and she couldn't even sleep.  I didn't dare to sleep. I suspected that she had an old illness and was not in good health, so I asked the doctor to prescribe some prescriptions for her at home. She took a few doses, but it didn't work.  That night, not only my wife, but also myself and several servants in the house began to have nightmares, and then I realized that what my wife said was true."

    Qing Xuzi frowned, "Nightmare? What kind of nightmare?"

    After hearing this, Pei Lin's face turned even paler. Even though it was a hot day, he felt as if he was in the coldest month of winter. His body was getting chills, and his forehead was covered with big beads of sweat. "We all had the same dream," he said.  I saw a ghost wandering around in the garden of the mansion. The ghost was jumping up and down, with his hands stretched out in front of him, straight and stiff, and his nails were about an inch long, like sharp blades. It looked so scary."

    "What?" Qing Xuzi couldn't hide the surprise on his face, and Qin Yao couldn't help but let out a low cry.

    It’s actually a zombie!

    When Pei Lin saw the reactions of Qingxuzi’s master and apprentice, his originally frightened expression was mixed with a trace of confusion, “What’s wrong?”

    "It's nothing, please continue." Qing Xuzi had returned to normal at this time, showing off his immortal demeanor of not being surprised at all changes.

    Pei Lin nodded, took out a snow-white handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat, and continued: "It might make sense if my wife is the only one who has nightmares. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but how can the whole family do the same thing?"  A nightmare? And the ghost in the dream seemed to be quite manic and restless. He was clawing at things everywhere with a pair of sharp claws. Sometimes it was the tomb wall in the mansion, sometimes it was the flowers and trees in the garden, first in the outer courtyard, and then in the garden. I think  In a few days, someone will break into our room and harm us. In the past few days, everyone in my house has been in panic. My wife is especially restless. She said that her daughter is young and has just come back from the academy. She is afraid  She was also harassed by the evil spirit. No, as soon as I heard about the name of the Taoist priest, I asked me to come to the temple for help. Taoist priest, you are a profound practitioner. Please don’t delay any longer and come with me to the mansion to exorcise the evil spirits immediately."

    Qing Xuzi was already ready to make a move when he heard Pei Lin describe the form of the fierce ghost. Now he did not hesitate and said: "I will go with you, but the Taoist priest still has something unclear. Your Excellency just said that ten days ago  Something strange happened just now, I would like to ask if your Excellency or Madam had seen any strangers ten days ago, or had you been to some unusual place, such as the outskirts of Chang'an?"

    Pei Lin thought for a while, then shook his head decisively: "No."

    "Have you had any strangers come to your house these days?"

    "Most of the people who come to my house are bureaucrats of the same level. In recent days, there have been no banquets and no strangers" Pei Lin muttered, "Only when my eldest son came back ten days ago, he brought a few of his subordinates to the house.  After sitting for a while, the gentlemen left without stopping."

    Qingxuzi lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, then stood up and said to Ahan and Qinyao: "Get everything ready, let's go to Pei Mansion now."

    Qinyao is busy, I quickly went to the backyard to prepare my clothes, feeling very uneasy. I didn't expect that there were so many strange things happening in Pei Min's home. No wonder I hadn't heard from her in the past two days.  And according to Mr. Pei’s description just now, the monster in the dream is most likely a zombie. In just a few days, first Wanniu Mountain, then Yuquan, and now Pei’s Mansion, I don’t know if the same one is causing trouble in these places.  Evil things.

    After getting ready, Qinyao said hello to Lu Da when she came out, then got into the carriage with her master and Ahan, and followed the Pei Mansion's carriage.

    ——————————————————————————————————

    After coming out of the palace, Lin Xiao felt relaxed physically and mentally. In order to invite Qin Yao out during the Hua Chao Festival, he had handed over several things at hand early in the morning. He had two days off to make preparations.

    Although Yuanjue was invited to go up the mountain that day, Yuanjue looked around and found no signs of evil. Since he was escorting the emperor and others all the way back to Chang'an, he had no time to tell Yuanjue in detail about the jade spring that Qinyao had seen.  Evil things.

    In the end, Yuanjue had no choice but to set up a dragnet near Yuquan and wait and see what happened. If the monster came back again, once it fell into Yuanjue's circle, it would naturally be gone.

    Having made such arrangements, Pratyekabuddha left a few disciples to observe the vision quietly and went down the mountain first.

    When the emperor found out, he just said that he would not go to Yuquan Mountain to cool off in the near future, and that he would wait for the magic circle set up by Yuan Jie and others to catch the evil thing, and then make further arrangements.

    After saying that, the emperor remembered that Lin Xiao had stayed up almost all night to protect Kang Ping that night, and he felt very sorry, so he called him forward, gave him diligent instructions for a long time, and asked him to go home and have a good rest.

    Lin Xiao left the palace and rode a horse, thinking that he could ask Qin Yao out tomorrow. He couldn't help but have a smile on his face. When Jiang Sanlang saw it, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "I don't know, I thought you would ask her out tomorrow."  As a groom, look at the proud look on his face."

    "Get lost." Lin Xiaoyan replied briefly and comprehensively.

    "Tomorrow is the Flower Festival. All the unmarried ladies in Chang'an City will go to the streets to watch the excitement, and Miss Qu is no exception. Looking at your behavior of getting drunk before drinking, could you have asked a beautiful woman out too?" Lin Xiaoyue refused.  He said that the more Jiang Sanlang refused to let him go, the more he insisted on asking him thoroughly.

    Lin Xiao was speechless.

    Jiang Sanlang observed the words, laughed and said: "You are not willing to tell the truth in front of me, so I thought that although Miss Qu is a good person, her family status is not good enough, and I am afraid that my uncle and your uncle may not be willing to agree.  This marriage is about to happen, but you actually managed to get her into the academy without saying a word. According to your attitude of being determined to win, you will do some tricks next year and just wait for the wedding, right?"

    Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, neither admitting nor denying.

    Chang Rong sighed quietly behind him. Looking at the entire Chang'an City, there was only one Jiang Sanlang who could let the prince take off his guard and treat him calmly.

    "Okay, okay, this couldn't be better." Jiang Sanlang laughed and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder, "In that case, I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine. You, so-so, can be considered a talented person. Miss Qu is better than you.  Even better, both talented and beautiful, you two are a match made in heaven."

    Although she laughed loudly, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat gloomy, as if she had remembered something unpleasant, and her smile was no longer as bright and cheerful as before.

    Lin Xiao saw it in his eyes.  He sighed secretly and said calmly: "You and I haven't had a good get-together in a while. Since we don't have any errands to do right now, why not go to Shanshui Tower for a drink."

    Jiang Sanlang was startled at first, then smiled and said: "Let's go, you have a happy event today, it's your turn to be the host." He patted the horse and went forward.
