The waiter poked his head out from under the table and said "hush" to him, but he didn't expect Lu Xiaochan to be like nothing happened, drinking wine and eating braised beef. The young man next to him who looked like a scholar was also very calm.
At this moment, the door of the tavern suddenly made a loud noise, shocking everyone so much that they almost shrank back.
That was the sound of a butcher's knife hitting the door.
"Ren Er Niang...Ren Er Niang..."
The voice was very low, as if it was squeezed out from some crack. It was dying, but it was filled with strong persistence and murderous intent.
Everyone looked at Ren Erniang with condemning eyes, as if saying "it was you who provoked the crazy Wang Dayong".
In addition to Ren Erniang, there was another man who crawled all the way and rushed under the shopkeeper's table.
"What are you doing here! This is my seat!" the shopkeeper scolded in a low voice.
"Let me hide for a while!"
Lu Xiaochan turned her head and suddenly realized: "Ah! You are Ren Erniang's lover!"
"Nonsense! I'm not!" the man denied categorically.
The shopkeeper and he started to wrestle under the table.
"So Wang Dayong is here to look for you and Ren Erniang! Get out of here!"
"Not at all!"
The two men pushed each other, and it was the shopkeeper who was pushed out and fell flat on his face.
At this moment, the door of the tavern was split open and Wang Dayong's butcher knife stabbed in.
A female guest was with a child. The child screamed and the female guest immediately covered his mouth.
Then, there was the sound of a wooden door cracking, and Wang Dayong's leg stepped in.
Lu Xiaochan's shoulders also trembled.
Shu Wuxi on the opposite side stood up slowly, as if nothing had happened, and sat down next to Lu Xiaochan.
His expression was calm, even with a hint of tranquility. He picked up the wine jar with one hand and poured a bowl of wine for Lu Xiaochan.
"After you have eaten and drunk everything you want, we will go back and rest."
"Still eating? Shouldn't we run away now?" Lu Xiaochan scratched his head.
"Why run? You didn't use any vicious tricks to harm him, and he didn't come looking for you." Shu Wuxi replied.
"ha?"
"The food is getting cold."
Shu Wuxi rolled up his right sleeve with his left hand, picked up a few slices of the tenderest beef on the plate, and put them into Luo Xiaochan's bowl.
There was another "crash" and Wang Dayong rushed in.
The saliva in his mouth dripped from the corners of his mouth and fell to the ground.
As soon as he reached the first table, his butcher knife fell down, splitting the solid wooden table into two halves, and the people hiding underneath had to crawl out.
"Ren Er Niang is there - there -"
Wang Dayong made a whimpering sound, turned his head blankly, and then walked forward step by step.
The guests behind him immediately climbed out and rushed out of the tavern's shabby door.
Wang Dayong was staggering, but he held the butcher knife tightly in his hand.
Lu Xiaochan couldn't see, but she could smell the scent of Wang Dayong.
The smell was rotten and disgusting, somewhat similar to the smell of the evil spirit "Bait Shang" that bit him before, but even worse than "Bait Shang".
"I don't want to eat anymore..." Lu Xiaochan said in a low voice.
"Then let's go back to the inn and rest."
Shu Wuxi put his arm around Lu Xiaochan's back and raised his fingers upwards, and the window next to Lu Xiaochan opened.
The night wind suddenly blew in, blowing away the turbid air in the tavern.
Shu Wuxi walked out of the window. He was tall and slender, and he landed easily after turning around. Then he said, "Xiaochan."
Obviously, climbing through the window is very inconvenient for a blind man, but Lu Xiaochan trusts Shu Wuxi inexplicably.
He was lying on the windowsill, and was about to fall down when he turned over, but found himself sitting on the bamboo branch that Shu Wuxi stretched out.
"Come down." Shu Wuxi said softly.
Lu Xiaochan jumped lightly and found that her feet were only a few inches from the ground.
"Let's go."
Lu Xiaochan held the bamboo stick that Shu Wuxi handed over, and the two of them left the tavern.
As they walked, Lu Xiaochan couldn't help but turn around and asked, "Those people won't...will nothing happen to them, right?"
"What do they have to do with us?" Shu Wuxi asked indifferently.
"I'm worried about Xiaoer. I can't forget the kindness of a meal. Not to mention, he gave me more than just one meal."
"He has already climbed out of the window." Shu Wuxi replied.
"Oh." Lu Xiaochan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
From a distance, Lu Xiaochan could hear the sound of Wang Dayong chopping frantically.
When Ren Er Niang saw the waiter open the window and run away, she also stood up and ran towards the window.
But before she could take two steps, Wang Dayong caught up with her and chopped her down with a knife, almost hitting her shoulder.
Ren Er Niang fell to the ground. When she turned around, she saw Wang Dayong walking up to her.
The butcher knife in his hand was shining coldly, his face was ashen and ferocious, and his lifeless eyes were staring like copper bells, as if they were about to burst.
Ren Er Niang backed away, crying with snot and tears all over the place.
"Dayong! Dayong, listen to me. I didn't poison you! It was him! It was Hu Tu who coveted my beauty! He has been plotting against me! I didn't obey him, so he put drugs in the soup I cooked for you!"
At this time, Hu Tu huddled under the table, shaking all over!
He was so angry that he had never seen such a shameless woman!
He wanted to tear the woman's mouth, but was afraid that any noise would attract Wang Dayong.
The shopkeeper now understood that Ren Er Niang and her lover had poisoned Wang Dayong, and Wang Dayong came to seek revenge!
No wonder I didn’t see Wang Dayong coming out to set up a stall today!
Wait, he's foaming at the mouth, how can he still have the energy to come out with a butcher knife to seek revenge
The shopkeeper lowered his head, and the faint moonlight came in through the window, but formed a large shadow on the ground.
The shadow was like a monster with bared fangs and claws, spreading towards Hu Tu and Ren Er Niang little by little.
And the source of that shadow is Wang Dayong.
The shopkeeper suddenly reacted and rushed out of the tavern.
While running wildly, he shouted for help: "Hurry up! Where is the Immortal Lord? Where is the Immortal Lord! Wang Dayong is possessed by an evil spirit! Wang Dayong is possessed by an evil spirit!"
The shopkeeper rushed to the Chen family, the richest family in town.
The master of the Chen family passed away yesterday, and the Immortal Lord is praying for Old Master Chen in the Chen Mansion.
The shopkeeper slammed the Chen family's door hard: "Immortal Lord, help me! Immortal Lord, help me!"
Not long after, the door of the Chen family opened, and the shopkeeper rushed in without thinking twice. In his opinion, the place where the Immortal Lord was was the safest.
At this time, Lu Xiaochan had been brought back to the inn by Shu Wuxi.
Lu Xiaochan sat down beside the couch but did not take off her shoes and socks.
"What's wrong?" Shu Wuxi asked.
"Tell me... How did Wang Dayong become like this?"
"He is possessed by an evil spirit."
"What evil spirit? What's its name? What does it feed on?" Lu Xiaochan opened her eyes wide, extremely curious.
"If I tell you, will you go to sleep?"
"Yeah." Lu Xiaochan nodded.
"It feeds on hatred and anger. It is an evil spirit filled with murderous desires. Its name is 'Chongyuan'."
"And then?" Lu Xiaochan still looked up, as if she wanted to continue listening to the story.
"Wang Dayong's mouth was full of foam, he must have been poisoned. When he was about to die, his hatred and anger were the strongest, so he attracted 'Chongyuan' into his body. 'Chongyuan' sucked his last breath and occupied his body."
Lu Xiaochan still looked at Shu Wuxi, waiting for him to tell her how to subdue the "injustice".
But Shu Wuxi said, "I've finished talking, why aren't you going to sleep?"
"Ah? That's it? Then how do you subdue it? Wouldn't it be possible to increase your cultivation if you transform this evil spirit? Why don't you subdue it?"
"Such a lowly evil spirit is a waste of energy."
Shu Wuxi raised the bamboo branch and tapped it lightly on Lu Xiaochan's shoulder, but without using any force, just signaling him to go to sleep.
Lu Xiaochan asked again: "Then I sleep on the bed, where will you sleep?"
"I watched you sleep."
Lu Xiaochan lay down, pulled the quilt to cover herself, but opened her eyes wide and looked at the ceiling of the bed.
"Why don't you close your eyes?"
"I can't see, so it doesn't matter whether I close my eyes or not."
At this time, there was a burst of gongs and drums outside, and the lights that had been extinguished were lit up.
"The Immortal is going to exorcise the evil spirits!"
"The Immortal Lord is here!"
"We will go and cheer for the Immortal Lord!"
Lu Xiaochan suddenly sat up, and at that moment, he had a feeling that Shu Wuxi was looking down at him, and was very close to him, because at that moment his nose tip could almost feel Shu Wuxi's temperature, but the other party avoided him again.
"Why are you up?"
"I want to watch the Immortal Lord exorcise evil spirits!"
Lu Xiaochan excitedly lifted the quilt and walked on her toes to look for her shoes.
"sleep."
"I don't want it! I've always thought that Immortal King... is a swindler! Now that Wang Dayong is possessed by an evil spirit, I'm definitely going to go watch the fun. How capable is this Immortal King?"
Before Lu Xiaochan could stand up, Shu Wuxi pushed her back with a bamboo stick.
"sleep."
His voice deepened a bit.
Lu Xiaochan knew that he was no match for him. He was used to being at ease, and this was the first time he was controlled like this. He felt a little unhappy.
"I'm going."
"Go to sleep. We have to leave tomorrow."
"Let me have a look! If you miss this village, you will miss this shop!"
The bamboo branch pressing on him remained motionless.
“… You are my biological father… Let me go and take a look…” Lu Xiaochan stretched out his hands and bowed.
The bamboo branch still didn't move.
Lu Xiaochan was quiet for a moment, then started to make noise again.
"Brother Wuxi, I want to see the Immortal Lord exorcise evil spirits. Please take me there, please take me there! Brother Wuxi!"
Every time he shouted "Brother Wuxi", the bamboo branch pressing on him would become lighter.
So he kept on shouting.
