Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Minghao couldn't help but frown, and subconsciously clenched the Tang Dao tightly.

There is a cement road extending from the archway to the distance. On both sides of the road, there are dozens of families, and their courtyard gates are all facing the main road.

In front of the courtyard gates of these people, there are white flowers and white cloth hanging, and two lamps covered with white cloth. One lampshade has a black word "Die" written on it, and the other lampshade has a red pen writing the word "Happiness", which is weird.

very.

The two of them observed the car for a while and found that there was no movement. Li Minghao opened the door and got out of the car. He came to a house and knocked on the door knocker.

Two or three minutes later, a rush of footsteps was heard in the courtyard, and then the door was opened a crack, and one eye was placed in front of the crack to look at the situation outside.

Li Minghao smiled slightly and said to the person inside: "Fellow fellow, we are from out of town. We originally wanted to go to Mingye City, but the journey is long and we are hungry and a little tired, so I would like to trouble you to make it easier for us.

The two of us will have a full meal and a place to stay. We won’t disturb you too much, and we will leave immediately early tomorrow morning.”

The eye inside glanced at the jeep behind Li Minghao, then looked at Li Minghao again, smacked his lips and said: "Brother, it's not that I won't let you stay overnight. It's really inconvenient for our family. Please come back."

Let's go to the other side of the road. It's not far along the road, and the city is in front of us."

After that, without waiting for Li Minghao to say anything else, he closed the door, lowered the bolt and left in a hurry.

Li Minghao was rejected, smacked his lips and turned back to the car.

Seeing Li Minghao's expression, Xiong Xiaoguang knew that the place to stay tonight was not available. He sighed and said, "Should we go to other people's houses and ask? What if there is a reasonable family that lets us in?"

Li Minghao shook his head and said: "Impossible. The person just now made it very clear that this village will not accept any outsiders today. Our only way now is to turn around and go back, and then walk some distance to the city ahead.

Find a place to stay."

Xiong Xiaoguang said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "To be honest, I think so too, but brother-in-law, in addition to eating and sleeping, I also have to refuel... When I came out, the fuel tank was only half full.

Here, I just used up the last bit of oil..."

"..." Li Minghao now wanted to kill Xiong Xiaoguang. He looked at the closed courtyard doors around him and suddenly thought of a way: "Xiaoguang, are you loud?"

Xiong Xiaoguang blinked: "It's okay, at least you can hear my shout from dozens of meters away."

"That's about it. You can go down in a while, so to speak..." Li Minghao came close to Xiong Xiaoguang's ear and whispered a few words to him.

Xiong Xiaoguang smacked his lips and said, "Brother-in-law, are you sure this method will work?"

"It doesn't matter whether it works or not. You will only know if you go out and do what I said. If it doesn't work, I will fly you to a nearby city to stay for one night and then come back and drive the next day." Li Minghao smiled.

He patted Xiong Xiaoguang on the shoulder.

Xiong Xiaoguang glanced at Li Minghao, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll try it."

Just like that, Xiong Xiaoguang opened the door and got out of the car, stood in front of the car, spread his legs, put his hands on his waist, raised his head and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Villages of Hede Village, listen up, Director Li has no time to go down the mountain today."

Come here to slay demons, if you have any questions, you can talk to Daozhang Li in detail, and we will definitely solve it for you!"

After he finished speaking, he looked around and found that no one was coming out, so he continued shouting at the top of his lungs.

Li Minghao, who was sitting in the car, knew that it was useless for Xiong Xiaoguang to shout because these villagers couldn't come out if they couldn't see the real guy, so he opened the sunroof of the jeep, took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket and threw it towards

in the air.

After the piece of talisman escaped from Li Minghao's hand, it turned into a ball of golden light suspended in the air above the jeep. Li Minghao raised his head and squinted his eyes slightly to look at the ball of golden light in the air, and shouted softly: "Disperse!

"

The golden light exploded in response, turning into little golden lights that scattered in the courtyards of dozens of surrounding households, attached to various buildings or flowers and plants, and turned into street lamps to illuminate the surrounding area.

After the golden light dispersed, the doors of the surrounding houses opened one after another, and people kept coming out of the yard and forming a circle. They looked at Xiong Xiaoguang and shouted there, while pointing and talking.

When Li Minghao saw this situation, he thought it was enough, opened the car door and walked out. In order to make these villagers believe in him, he also deliberately let Tang Dao float in the air and follow him.

Seeing the Tang Dao behind Li Minghao, everyone was in an uproar. Only then did they believe that what Xiong Xiaoguang said was true. They quickly came to Li Minghao and said to him: "Taoist priest, we hope for the stars and the moon.

Now that we have a strong person, we can finally be saved. Please save us." As he said this, several of them were about to kneel down.

Li Minghao hurriedly helped them up: "You are all older than me, kneeling down to me is a shame. Everyone, since I am here today by fate, no matter what difficulties or grievances you have, I will do it for you."

Please rest assured that you have solved it."

"Thank you, Director Li." Li Minghao refused to let him kneel down, so they had no choice but to clasp their fists to express their gratitude.

At this time, a middle-aged man said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this the person who came to my house to stay overnight? Alas, it's my fault that I almost drove you away. Director Li, in this way, you will stay at my house today.

I will order someone to cook for you."

The middle-aged man didn't care whether Li Minghao answered or not, he hurried back after speaking.

Li Minghao sighed softly: "Thank you for your kindness. I will stay at that house tonight. If you have anything to say to me, feel free to come and see me."

"Okay. Everyone has heard it. Anyone who is busy should go back first. Just leave a few people in charge here. Shuisheng's family will be in chaos when there are more people." The old man in front of Li Minghao nodded.

He turned around and said to the others. When the others saw that the old man had spoken, they dispersed. In the end, Li Minghao was left with two old men and a fat, middle-aged man.

When the fat black man saw that everyone was gone, he grabbed Li Minghao's hand and pulled him into Shuisheng's home. The two old men behind him pulled Xiong Xiaoguang to follow.

Everyone came to sit down in the main hall of Shuisheng's home. The food was not ready yet, so the fat black man started to speak: "Daozhang Li, you came at the right time. If you didn't come, we really don't know what will happen next."

How to get over it."

Li Minghao smiled slightly and said: "According to my young age, I should call you uncle, so you can just call me Xiao Li. Taoist priest sounds strange and uncomfortable. Uncle, what did you mean by what you just said?"

"

The fat black man sighed and said: "Well, to be honest, our village was a big village in the past, and all the surrounding cities and towns knew about us. But, since the Hundred Years of Rebellion, our village has become

Strange things happened one after another. First, an old man in the village died mysteriously at home, and then a young man disappeared inexplicably. We thought it was ghosts, so we found someone to cast spells and chant sutras, but it still had no effect."

Li Minghao frowned. There is always a shortage of people who cheat money. "Those who cast spells and chant sutras also have to see if they have any cultivation. If they don't, they are obviously here to cheat money."

The fat black man sighed: "Who can say otherwise? Later we found out that these people were liars, so we beat them up and drove them away. Strangely enough, after they left, the village went quiet for a few years.

Just when we all thought that this matter had come to an end, something happened again. It was in the middle of the night decades ago. It was going well.

One day, a strong wind suddenly started blowing, and the howling of ghosts and wolves made my scalp feel numb. The wind lasted for half an hour before it stopped, and then for some reason, the sound of gongs and drums was heard outside. We were brave enough to pick up the sound.

Looking out from the top of the wall, I found that there was a team waiting for a wedding to stop outside. However, on that day, not a single family was getting married. "

Hearing this, Li Minghao finally understood: "I know what's going on. Could it be that the decoration in front of your door and the fact that you don't let guests in are because someone will come to pick up the bride in the past two days?"

The fat man nodded slightly: "You are so smart. At midnight tomorrow, those people will come to pick up the bride. This time the bride is a girl from the largest family in our village. Keep walking along this road.

At the end of the road is their home."

"So that's it." Li Minghao nodded slightly and turned to look at Xiong Xiaoguang. The meaning was very clear. It looked like they were going to stay here for the whole day.

Xiong Xiaoguang smacked his lips, took out his mobile phone and went outside to call Liu Gang.

After Xiong Xiaoguang went out, the fat man continued: "At that time, they said they wanted a girl to be their bride, but we were still unwilling, so some people copied the guy and tried to fight them. In the end, we couldn't win at all.

Guys, the shovel comes right out of their body

The girl passed through. Those who resisted were all captured by them without exception, and their lives and deaths were unknown. From then on, as long as they came, one family had to obediently give away the girl to ensure safety, and this matter continued.

Now." After saying that, the fat black man sighed.

"Bang!" Li Minghao slapped his hand on the table and said angrily: "What a rampant evil spirit, he actually did such a thing that goes against the law of heaven. Don't worry, I, Li Minghao, if I can't get rid of these things in one day, I will

Don’t leave here for a day until they are all wiped out!”

"Thank you." The three of them knelt down quickly. Li Minghao frowned and quickly stood up to help them up: "Didn't I say, don't kneel down! I do things to drive away evil spirits from Middle Earth, and

It’s not something that makes people kneel down!”

"Okay, don't kneel, don't kneel." The three of them were a little embarrassed and stood up quickly.

At this time, the fat dark man looked at the table next to Li Minghao's seat and found a slap mark on it. He sighed secretly and felt confident that this time he would be able to solve the problem that has troubled the village for decades.

Dropped.

Xiong Xiaoguang just came in after making a phone call and heard what Li Minghao said just now. He smacked his lips and said, "Okay, I'd better tell Liu Gang that the time is uncertain."

With that said, he dialed Liu Gang's number again. When the call was connected, Liu Gang's impatient voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiong Xiaoguang, are you annoyed? Why did you call me again just after you hung up?"

Xiong Xiaoguang said with some embarrassment: "That's not what bothers me, it's mainly because my brother-in-law just said when he would finish the work here and when he would leave. I estimate that the time may be delayed by two or three days, so I'm calling you.

Let’s talk on the phone and don’t get angry and scold me again when we’re not here.”

After listening to Xiong Xiaoguang's words, Liu Gang laughed and said: "That's what Minghao is like. When something happens, he must solve it. Don't worry, there is nothing wrong here. The things have been tested and are waiting for a report. Then we will now

We have sent a lot of people to inquire around, and I believe there will be news soon. But you guys, please pay more attention in the past two days, Minghao can't deal with small things, all big problems come to him."

Xiong Xiaoguang's eyelids twitched and he said slowly: "Brother Gang... please stop saying a few words, I'm very scared now..."

"There's no need to be afraid. Minghao will protect you. I have to go to eat, so I'll hang up now. We'll talk about it later if we have something to do." He didn't give Xiong Xiaoguang a chance to speak and immediately pressed the hang up button.

Xiong Xiaoguang looked at the star-studded sky and sighed: "...If I had known that I would bring the action team here, even if this poor place sends a message to the action team, the nearest estimate will be tomorrow night..."

.Oh, you shouldn't have come with my brother-in-law."

"What are you doing there? The meal is ready. Let's go eat." At this time, Li Minghao and the other three people walked out of the main hall. He saw Xiong Xiaoguang standing alone looking at the sky and sighing, so he asked.

"Ah? It's nothing. I'm hungry. It's time to eat, right? Hurry up, hurry up, I'm so hungry that my chest is touching my back." Xiong Xiaoguang came to his senses and quickly caught up with Li Minghao. Eating is important now, as for what

As for the rest, we’ll talk about it when the time comes.

To put it briefly, everyone came to the dining room and sat down. Xiong Xiaoguang couldn't bear it when he saw the food on the table. He picked up the food with chopsticks and wolfed it down. However, Li Minghao was not in a hurry to eat. He looked at the other people on the table.

Said: "Guys, tomorrow's matter cannot be solved here. I still need to go to the victim's home."

Several people looked at each other, and one of the old men smacked his lips and said, "You can go to his house if you want, but, it's up to you whether he will let you in or not."

"Oh? Why is this?" Li Minghao raised his eyebrows and asked.
