I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

"Keep your voice down. Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. Have you forgotten how Luo Yinyin got in?"

At this moment, the woman who was speaking suddenly saw Gu Jiu standing not far away, and winked at her companion, and then both of them looked at Gu Jiu.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu quickly said, "Oh, I forgot I have to buy some groceries," and then walked straight forward.

MMP, it's really embarrassing to be caught eavesdropping.

Gu Jiu did not regard the fact that the Liu family was haunted as a rumor.

Although there haven't been any supernatural events in Linshui Town in the past decade or so, he did encounter a real water ghost when he was a child.

Xiaoxiang, the wet nurse who loved to tell ghost stories, was frightened and stayed in bed for a month. During that time, other young ladies fed her milk.

At this moment, Gu Jiu suddenly felt alert, turned his head suddenly, and found an acquaintance a few dozen meters away.

This acquaintance is the family's housekeeper, named Liu Fang.

Liu Fang has been in the Gu family for at least twenty years and is quite capable. It was she who taught Gu Xiaoxiao her boxing skills.

When housekeeper Liu Fang found out that she was exposed, she first lowered her head involuntarily, then smiled at Gu Jiu who was looking at her, with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Gu Jiu immediately understood that the reason this guy had been following him was probably arranged by his mother.

Gu Jiu soon felt relieved.

It seems that his mother was afraid that a boy like him would be taken advantage of by some nymphomaniacs when he went out, but she couldn't say it out loud, so she asked the housekeeper to follow him.

Alas, it is really not easy for boys to survive in this world, especially for a boy like him who is so good-looking.

Chapter 11: Straw Man

After Gu Jiu returned home, the news that the Liu family was haunted that he had heard before was still lingering in his mind.

Although he killed the water ghost he encountered as a baby instantly, it still left a significant trauma on his childhood.

For a good young man whose soul comes from a country where people cannot become spirits after the founding of the country, the setting of this world is really a bit scary.

The nanny Xiaoxiang, who used to love telling all kinds of ghost stories, never dared to tell any ghost stories again after she fainted from fright that night.

However, since the ghost did not come to his door, Gu Jiu did not take it too seriously. Firstly, he was too lazy, and secondly, his ambition was never to be a ghost catcher.

If ghosts come to him, he will not be afraid, after all, he is a guy with full skills at the beginning.

Apart from a bad waist, there are no major defects.

He was sure that he was good in one-on-one fights. After so many years of observation, he found that he could kill instantly with just any saint-level offensive skill. However, he was a little weak when facing group battles and protracted wars. After all, his energy was too limited.

If he plays for a while longer, it is absolutely possible that he will fall asleep while playing.

After going back and forth like this, Gu Jiu found that the jade crane in his qi sea had become much fainter. He was about to circulate the "Jade Crane Power" for a big circle to consolidate it, but fell asleep halfway.

There is really nothing I can do about my bad waist.

……

North of the city, Liu Mansion, main hall.

The head of the family, Liu Hongying, sat on the main seat with a gloomy expression.

In the hall, there were three daughters and several elders in the family, all looking worried.

As a wealthy family in Linshui Town, the Liu family has a strong foundation. This is the first time they have suffered such a loss in decades.

It was a terrifying thing that the guard leader's eyes were gouged out while he was on patrol, and he screamed that it was a ghost.

Even though she and the government officials had determined that it was a man-made incident, they were unable to stop the guards and servants from wanting to escape.

In just one morning, one-third of the guards wanted to resign, and many servants even made excuses to return home.

The situation was barely stabilized until she crippled a servant who wanted to escape secretly.

As the head of the Liu family, Liu Hongying was ruthless. After crippling the servant, he said coldly, "You slaves sold your bodies to the Liu family. If you want to run away, I, Liu Hongying, will naturally take back what belongs to you. As for those who are receiving my monthly salary and want to leave now, are you sure that I, Liu Hongying, can make money so easily?"

"Whoever dares to spread false rumors and mislead the public again will be caught by me and punished according to the family rules! Starting today, no one in or out of the mansion must get my permission!" Fearing that public opinion would spread further, Liu Hongying immediately adopted a blockade strategy.

Seeing how powerful Liu Hongying was, the servants immediately became deflated and stopped moving, and could only stay in the house trembling in fear.

However, Liu Hongying quickly sent people to raise the salaries of these servants. This was a combination of kindness and authority, and did not cause much complaint for a while.

If Shen Zhu's eyes hadn't been gouged out and she wasn't looking so scary, and she hadn't been muttering about ghosts, who would be willing to leave the Liu Mansion where they had lived for so many years?

Although the situation has been temporarily stabilized, Liu Hongying knows that this is not a long-term solution, because as long as the threat continues to exist, if any problems arise again, the Liu family will be dragged down sooner or later.

The attic where the eldest daughter Liu Yin used to live has been sealed off.

She also went in to check during the day, but couldn't find the eyeballs and straw men that Shen Zhu mentioned.

He must have been scared silly by the guy pretending to be a ghost!

Even though he didn't believe in ghosts, Liu Hongying still sent someone to invite the master from Taohua An overnight.

……

At this moment, shocking bloodstains could still be seen on the ground outside the attic.

A white cat sniffed the blood on the ground, licked it with its tongue, and then disappeared into the small bamboo forest behind the attic.

Night is coming again soon...

At dusk, a nun from Taohua Temple arrived at Liu's mansion.

This nun is extremely beautiful, with phoenix eyes, cherry lips, and her pupils are a rare dark blue, which gives her a bit of exotic charm.

She was wearing a light blue plain dress, with a string of black Buddhist beads wrapped around her wrist. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Liu Fu, and couldn't help but say, "Such a heavy resentment."

Although Taohua Nunnery is a small nunnery with only a dozen nuns, it is very famous within the area of ​​hundreds of miles.

Rumor has it that they have settled many difficult matters, and sometimes the government has to ask them for help with some unsolved cases.

Seeing the arrival of this nun with an extraordinary temperament, the head of the family, Liu Hongying, immediately went to greet her.

The nun bowed to him and said, "My Dharma name is Lingyu, and I am honored to meet you, benefactor Liu."

Liu Hongying returned the greeting respectfully and said, "Thank you for troubling Master Lingyu."

Under the leadership of Liu Hongying, the nun Lingyu quickly arrived at the crime scene.

She first looked at the bloodstains on the ground, her expression solemn, signaled everyone not to follow her, and then went straight into the attic.

Liu Hongying and others stood outside the attic and could only hear the sound of footsteps coming from inside, but could not see anything.

After about a cup of tea, Lingyu came out of the house and said to Liu Hongying, "Donor, please follow me."

As she spoke, she walked towards the small bamboo forest behind the attic.

It was already dusk and the surroundings had become much darker. Two guards followed Liu Hongying and lit lanterns.

A gust of wind blew, and the bamboo forest swayed. Through the orange-red light of the lanterns, the shadows of the bamboos cast below looked like hideous ghosts.

A supernatural incident had just happened here last night, so the two guards and several servants felt a chill down their spines.

At this time, the nun Lingyu paused and pointed to an empty space in the corner of the bamboo forest. She said, "There's something underneath that needs to be dug out."

So Liu Hongying quickly sent someone to bring tools to shovel the soil.

It had rained during the day and the soil was very moist, so it was not difficult to shovel.

After a while, one of the servants' shovel got stuck with a click, and then the person next to him pushed the dirt away and said hurriedly, "There's something!"

As the servants cleaned up, the things in the soil emerged.

It was a wooden square box half the length and width of a person, dark red in color, giving the impression that the wood was stained with blood.

The servants' first reaction was to the coffin, and they took several steps back in fear.

But where in the world is there a square coffin?

When the nun Lingyu saw this, her face turned cold and she walked over holding a lantern.

She just lightly clicked the index finger of her right hand, and the heavy-looking wooden box lid flew out of the pit with a snap.

Everyone couldn't help but think, "This nun has great strength!"

Soon, a rotten stench filled the air, and everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.

The servants were already terrified and naturally did not dare to look at what was inside, so they retreated to a distance.

Liu Hongying frowned, took the lantern from a guard and shone it inside.

Seeing this photo, she couldn't help but take two steps back, her pupils slightly contracted, and she looked a little scared.

But soon, her complexion returned to normal.

Inside the square box was a scarecrow half a person's height.

This scarecrow was crudely made, with crooked features and two holes for its eyes. It looked like...

It's like someone gouged out my eyes!

Thinking of Shen Zhu having his eyes gouged out, it was really a terrifying thing. The two guards were so scared that their legs were shaking.

At this moment, the scarecrow suddenly grinned and shouted!

Chapter 12 Let Xiaoxiao hold you

The voice sounded very abruptly, and it was the voice of a little girl.

When the servants heard the cry, they screamed and ran away in fear. Even Liu Hongying was so scared that he took several steps back and drew the rapier at his waist.

At this moment, the scarecrow that had opened its mouth suddenly popped up and was about to stand up.

The nun Lingyu screamed "Evil beast!", and with two fingers of her right hand, she pierced the lantern in her hand, took out the flame inside, and then fed it into the mouth of the straw man in a flash.

The next moment, the entire body of the straw man was on fire, and he let out a shrill scream, as if a living person was being burned.

The two female guards who had not had time to escape had already fallen to the ground, their legs trembling and unable to even stand up.

Soon, the scarecrow was burned to ashes.

A gust of wind blew, and pieces of black ashes were carried up by the wind, swirling in the air.

The nun Lingyu turned around and said to the frightened Liu Hongying, "Donor, has the Liu family offended anyone?"

Liu Hongying seemed to recall something, a cold look flashing across her eyes. Then she shook her head and said, "My Liu family is built on kindness. How could we possibly offend anyone?"

As a wealthy family in Linshui Town, half of the businesses on the street in the town are related to the Liu family. It is impossible to say that they have not offended anyone.

But since Liu Hongying had said that, Ling Yu naturally couldn't say anything else. She continued, "I wonder who buried this spiteful creature here. It's in the southwest corner of the mansion, shaded by a bamboo forest. It's an extremely yin place. This straw man already carries a strong resentment. After absorbing the yin energy over the years, it has become a disaster."

After hearing this, Liu Hongying couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and said, "Master Lingyu said that this thing has been buried here for some time."

The nun Lingyu nodded and said, "At least three years."

Liu Hongying narrowed her eyes slightly, looking a little fierce, but she quickly recovered and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for saving my life!"

The nun Lingyu bowed and said, "I take money from others and help them eliminate disasters. Thank you for your courtesy, Mr. Liu. I will stay here tonight, just in case."

Liu Hongying immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."

Soon, the news that the nun from Taohua Temple had killed the ghost spread throughout the mansion, and everyone in the Liu family breathed a sigh of relief.

On the second day, the nun Lingyu said that the threat had been completely eliminated, and suggested to Liu Hongying that they hold a banquet within seven days, inviting relatives and friends to come and have a lively gathering in order to wash away the evil spirit.

Liu Hongying immediately agreed and offered triple the incense money.

Five days later, it was Liu Hongying's youngest daughter's tenth birthday, so the Liu family hosted a banquet for guests, and there were as many as two hundred people who came to the house.

The Liu family in Linshui Town is rich and powerful. Over the decades, they have expanded and have countless relatives. These more than 200 people are just relatives and friends who came from nearby towns. If all relatives and friends really came, there would be at least 500 of them.

The threat has been eliminated, and the mansion has been peaceful these days. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In order to celebrate the young lady's birthday, the Liu family decorated the house with lights and colors, making it even more lively than a wedding.

The nun Lingyu was not in a hurry to return to Taohua Temple. She stayed in Liu's mansion temporarily. She not only ate meat but also drank alcohol every day. She was really unusual.

However, the nuns in Taohua Temple were notoriously undisciplined, so everyone naturally praised their generosity.

But in Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes, this nun was not generous at all. She was shy when drinking and sipped the wine slowly with a small wine glass, which was really inconsistent with her beautiful face.

At this point, Gu Xiaoxiao no longer felt sorry that the other person was so good-looking but had no hair.

Because this nun doesn't look like a woman at all.

Isn't the normal way for women to drink to blow into the pot?
