Chapter 322 Ghost Fighting Ghosts: Tan Family Town
Chapter 322 Ghost Fighting Ghosts: Tan Family Town
The sky above the execution ground in the village was cloudless, and although there was a gentle breeze, Uncle Jiu was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He had just received a letter from his junior brother, and the next second the deadly judge of Fengdu found out about it.
He felt bitter and said, "Tanjia Town is far away and there are even Qing Dynasty government officials there. I will go there myself to resolve this matter."
From the information Uncle Jiu had just described, Li Xuan immediately deduced that Master Qian and Master Xu were the same brothers from the movie "Ghost Fighting Ghosts." What a coincidence! He never expected them to appear here.
He had seen the movie before.
Movie content:
The protagonist, Zhang Dadan, is a coachman for the wealthy Master Tan in Tanjia Town. His wife, Jinlian, is having an affair with Master Tan, and Zhang Dadan almost catches them in the act several times.
Master Tan harbored malicious intentions and paid a Taoist priest surnamed Qian to kill him.
The Taoist priest surnamed Qian was quite accomplished and was known as Master Qian. He often traveled the world with his junior brother, Master Xu.
This time, he invited Master Xu to join him in dealing with Zhang Dadan, but was refused.
Therefore, Master Qian decided to set up an altar himself and use Xuanmen techniques to kill Zhang Dadan.
However, Master Xu did not want his senior brother to disregard human life, so he approached Zhang Dadan to warn him of the danger and taught him how to break the spell, helping Zhang Dadan escape death time and time again.
Master Qian discovered that Master Xu was secretly helping Zhang Dadan to oppose him, so the brotherhood between them broke down and he began to fight to the death, summoning evil spirits, setting up a high altar, inviting gods, and engaging in fierce magical battles.
Although Master Xu had a righteous heart, his senior brother Master Qian was also quite powerful. The two perished together in a face-to-face battle.
Upon hearing Uncle Nine mention these two people, scenes from the movie flooded Li Xuan's mind, and he immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, Baiyun Village has just been harassed by bandits and needs to be appeased. Why don't I step in and resolve the matter of your two junior brothers?"
Uncle Nine was drenched in sweat, thinking to himself, "That's why I'm setting off, I didn't want you to go."
He couldn't bring himself to say such a thing, so he awkwardly laughed and said, "Well... it would be a bit disrespectful of me not to go when my junior brother asks for my help. I'll go, and besides, I can't trouble you to make the trip."
Li Xuan said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite with me. I just found a good spot on the top of the mountain outside the mountain last night. If you're really too embarrassed to ask, why don't you help me hire someone to build a temple in Fengdu? I have the blueprints here, and don't worry about the money." He placed a roll of blueprints on the table, and with a gentle shake of his right hand, he placed a brown cloth bag on the table, making a rustling sound.
The bag was quite large, and it was clearly filled with silver dollars, at least two hundred of them!
Even though Uncle Jiu was a man of great experience, he was still taken aback by Li Xuan's extravagance. The purchasing power of a silver dollar was not low; it could buy thirty catties of top-quality rice in the provincial capital and forty catties of rice in the county town.
Two hundred silver dollars can buy several thousand kilograms...
Houses in the countryside aren't that valuable; people usually just buy some basic materials and have neighbors help each other build them.
He reached out to return the silver dollar.
Unexpectedly, A-Qiang rushed over. This guy had sharp ears and, upon hearing Li Xuan's request, immediately said, "Master, I'm very good at supervising house construction, and I know many skilled craftsmen!"
He intended to make a good impression on Li Xuan.
Uncle Nine said with a stern face, "Judge Li is going to build a temple in Fengdu to worship the Fengdu Beiyin Emperor. If you are supervising the construction and the project is ruined by using inferior materials, you will probably be sent to hell and boiled in oil immediately."
Ah Qiang trembled all over, stomped his foot hard and said, "Master, although I was a bit of a scoundrel before, there are times when a prodigal son can turn over a new leaf. I... I also want to improve." He was already in his twenties, without children, without a wife, and without any achievements. These past two days, Li Xuan had shaken his worldview, making him realize that in this era, if he continued like this, he would only drift aimlessly until he died.
Last night, A-Qiang tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He was determined to change himself and even opened the Maoshan manual given to him by Uncle Jiu and began to practice cross-legged. Although he fell asleep while practicing, at least he had started, right?
Faced with the "danger" in Uncle Nine's words, Ah Qiang suppressed his fear and patted his chest, saying, "Master, pressure is necessary for progress. You wouldn't want me to stay like this forever, would you?"
Uncle Jiu wished he could hang Ah Qiang up and beat him.
Is now the time to talk about whether you want to improve?
Junior Brother Xu's letter was vague, and it's still unclear who is right and who is wrong. We must see for ourselves. If both of them are wrong, wouldn't Li Xuan be completely ruined when he goes to take a look?
He was about to speak.
Li Xuan clasped his hands in greeting and said happily, "Since Captain Qiang has such good intentions, why don't you let him give it a try? A person's transformation often happens in an instant. You should be happy for him."
Uncle Nine's lips trembled: "But... my junior brother, please, Judge Li... show leniency. They are not inherently bad. After coming down from Maoshan, I know they have saved many people."
Li Xuan nodded and said, "Please rest assured..."
Uncle Nine thought to himself, "I'm worried about you."
Li Xuan straightened his clothes and said, "There's no time to lose. I'll set off for Tanjia Town now. I wonder if there are any horse-drawn carriages or oxcarts in the village?"
Uncle Jiu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Life in the village isn't actually that good right now. The security team doesn't even have a single gun, let alone a horse-drawn carriage. As for oxcarts, those are just for plowing the fields; they can't go very far. Otherwise, Judge Li could wait here for a few days, and some merchants will return from the county town. We can go out with their caravan then..."
The two junior brothers are from the same lineage, so their fight is just a squabble and won't actually lead to any deaths.
If he stalls Li Xuan here for a few days, his junior brother's problem might resolve itself. Even if his arms and legs are broken, it's better than being sent to the underworld...
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of the village entrance.
A carriage slowly approached, with a coachman sitting inside. A head popped out of the carriage window—it was none other than Mr. Tan, the millionaire. Upon seeing Li Xuan, he became excited and exclaimed, "Judge Li, you're here! I've finally come to my senses and decided to carry out your principles, dedicating the rest of my life to the cause and effect of good and evil in this world!"
Uncle Nine: "..."
Li Xuan was somewhat surprised that Tan Baiwan would actually come.
When the two met, Tan Baiwan couldn't wait to tell Li Xuan all his ambitions and thoughts so that Li Xuan could understand his determination...
When Tan Baiwan heard Li Xuan say he was going to Tanjia Town, his expression froze for a moment, then he sighed and said, "Tanjia Town, alas, my ancestors came from there. The clan values the continuation of their lineage rather than right and wrong. The older generation's thinking is very conservative."
I don't know how it is now. I visited Tanjia Town when I was a child and I still remember it vividly. Tanjia Town was practically the domain of the Tan family. To put it bluntly, even the emperor's edict was not as effective as the words of the clan elders.
My great-grandfather was too concerned about right and wrong, which is why he was forced to leave that place.
Judge Li, if you go there, you'll definitely encounter a lot of injustice. You'll probably have to face a clan of thousands of people..."
