The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Lu Zhaoling didn't want to have to get up in the middle of her sleep to help the villagers summon their souls.

She looked at the three ghosts and said, "You'd better light a lamp when you go in. And clean yourselves up a little. Don't be so pale. You look like ghosts."

When Qingyin and Qingbao heard her words, they laughed softly. What the lady said seemed quite funny. They were ghosts after all.

Lu Zhaoling also realized that he had said the wrong thing.

When it comes to caring about image, it is of course the female ghost.

She said helplessly, "Master, it's not that we have to be like this. We are simply trapped in the mountains after death. Even though so many years have passed, we can only occasionally absorb the spiritual energy near Master Yu's tomb, which makes us a little better than wandering ghosts. We will only become uglier and more like ghosts."

Lu Zhaoling felt that there was something wrong.

Young Master Yu was able to practice on his own and had no intention of bringing these ghosts with him, but it was obvious that these ghosts all respected him.

She took out a talisman and said, "Let me do you another small favor."

Lu Zhaoling hooked her finger at them, and the three ghosts leaned closer with some confusion.

Lu Zhaoling waved the talisman in front of them, and the talisman turned into fire, and the flames suddenly made their eyes red.

After the talisman was burned, the three ghosts suddenly felt a little warmth.

They looked at each other in great surprise.

"Uncle Dali, your face looks like a human now!"

"You, you too, you are the ugliest white..." The female ghost sister-in-law also said to the male ghost A Quan.

It was so white as if it had been soaked in a dark cave for years.

"You guys go back like this, first find the one with the strongest horoscope at home and then show up. Also, don't stay too long, you have to leave before the sky turns bright."

Seeing that Uncle Dali seemed to want to say something, Lu Zhaoling understood.

"Hasn't our prince already told us about the mountain affairs? Leave it to him. You guys go back to the mountain first."

Uncle Dali nodded and asked, "Master, can we tell Master Yu about your affairs?"

They were afraid that they could not hide it from Master Yu.

"Just mention me," Zhou Shiyue said, "and tell me that you've told me about it, and I'll report it to the court."

The three ghosts understood that this was because they didn't want them to mention Lu Zhaoling, or they were on guard against Master Yu.

"Your Majesty, we understand."

Lu Zhaoling continued, "What are your plans for the future? Do you need me to send you to the underworld? You can't not reincarnate, right?"

The three ghosts quickly said, "Of course we are willing to go to reincarnation!"

They don't want to be trapped in the mountains and become wild ghosts forever!

"Can we wait until the prince reports to the court and there is some clarity on the matter before we leave?" Uncle Dali asked.

They still care about this village very much.

"Alright," Lu Zhaoling thought to himself that he was very easy to talk to. "I'll have the ghost messenger come find you when the time comes."

The three ghosts stood in awe.

The master is truly amazing, he can even command ghosts! With the master here, the villagers shouldn't have to worry about their lives.

After the three ghosts left, Xiao Dui, Qingyin and Qingbao had already cleaned up the house.

The straw mat that Xiaosheng wove himself looked quite clean.

"They've all been washed and dried in the sun. I usually make some money by weaving straw mats."

It turns out that this is his craft for making a living, no wonder there are several new straw mats at home.

The straw mat was still a bit soft after being laid down, so Qingyin and Qingbao took two coats from the carriage and spread them on the bed. It was enough for sleeping there for one night.

There were not many rooms to begin with, so Lu Zhaoling shared a room with two maids, while Zhou Shiyue shared a room with the other three maids.

After cleaning up, Qingmu and the others also took out the two pheasants. Xiaosheng took them to the kitchen to cook. After such a hard day, everyone was now starving.

Although Xiaosheng's room was clean, it certainly looked bare. After Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue boiled some hot water and washed up, they sat in the main room to eat pickled red beans. Before dinner was ready, Xiaosheng had only a bowl of these beans to treat them.

Zong Qi talked about the incident in which he was murdered before.

It turned out that Lu Zhaoling and the others had suspicions, and after listening to Zong Qi's description, they were even more certain that his death was related to Master Yu.

Because at that time, Zong Xi was recognized as a talented and capable person in the village and was very respected in the village.

Zong Xi said that he did have a talent for metaphysics and a good intuition. For example, if someone in the village was going on a long journey, he could probably help predict whether the trip would be auspicious or unlucky. He also asked the villagers to choose dates for weddings and funerals.

He basically never made mistakes in choosing the dates, and he helped the villagers avoid disasters several times, so Zong Xi had a high prestige in the village.

When Master Yu came to the village to recuperate, he had also come to him and asked Zong Xi to tell his fortune, to see if his illness could be cured and if he could live longer.

At that time, Zong Qi felt that Master Yu had a short lifespan and his health looked unlikely to improve, but he still had Little Saint to take care of, and he felt that Master Yu was not someone to be trifled with, so he spoke in general terms and did not tell the truth to the other party.

"I always felt that when I left that time, Master Yu looked at me in a strange way."

Zong Qi said, "Later, he sent people to look for me twice more. He said he was recuperating in the village and didn't have many friends around. He asked if I could bring Xiaosheng over from time to time, play chess with him, chat, and he could also teach Xiaosheng to read and write."

"But I refused. I thought it would be better for Xiaosheng not to have any contact with him. Later, I did tell Xiaosheng that, asking him to avoid him and not go over to his place."

Lu Zhaoling asked, "So you could see at the time that Mr. Yu wouldn't live long, right?"

Zong Qi nodded and said, "Yes, I can tell a little, but I'm not sure how many years he can live. Master Yu did die of illness. I can be sure of that because I was there to see him when he died."

"His hidden injuries were very serious. No matter how we take care of his internal organs, they are no longer healthy. In addition, his health was extremely poor in the last few years. He could hardly go out and walk."

Xiaosheng brought over some tea and interjected, "The neighbors later told me that Mr. Yu asked them a lot about my uncle, and seemed to have even asked about his birth date and horoscope."

Zong Qi was stunned, "How come I don't know about this?"

"Uncle, he must have come when we were not at home. You don't know that I only heard about him from the neighbors after you died."

"Does anyone else know your birth date and time?" Lu Zhaoling asked Zong Qi.

"It was a helpless move, to be honest. When I moved to this village, several elderly people in the village said they wanted to check my background. They asked quite detailed questions, including my birth date and time," said Zong Qi.
