After Zhou Yun left, Xu Fan headed straight for the main gate of the mansion.
There wasn't even a guard at the huge manor gate.
Xu Fan walked forward, grabbed the knocker, and knocked it down.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The knocker knocked on the wooden door and made a sound.
Xu Fan waited for five to six seconds before he heard footsteps coming from the door.
Creak!
The wooden door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man in a blue shirt appeared in Xu Fan's line of sight.
When Xu Fan was looking at him, the middle-aged man was also looking at Xu Fan.
"Who are you looking for?" The middle-aged man frowned and said.
"I heard that your residence is looking for a master who can catch ghosts. I am Xu Fan, a wandering Taoist priest. I heard that your residence is haunted and that subduing demons and devils is the responsibility of cultivators like me, so I came to find you.”Xu Fan's tone was indifferent, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Are you a Daoist?" The middle-aged man looked at Xu Fan suspiciously. No matter how he looked at it, Xu Fan didn't look like a Taoist priest.
"Naturally!" Xu Fan smiled. He knew that it was hard to believe that he was a Taoist priest with his current appearance.
Therefore, he casually clenched his hand, and a stone the size of a child's fist immediately flew toward Xu Fan and landed in Xu Fan's hand.
The middle-aged man was stunned.
Xu Fan waved his hand, and the stone in his hand flew out with a whooshing sound.
With a loud bang, it crashed into the wooden wall not far away.
A hole the size of an adult's fist appeared on the wooden wall, shocking the middle-aged man.
If the target of such a technique was a person, it would probably directly smash a bloody hole in the other party's chest.
He did not expect that the person standing in front of him was actually an expert.
"So it's the expert in front. This one's eyes are bad.”Wang Hao said respectfully.
"You're welcome." Xu Fan smiled indifferently and then stepped into the Imperial Residence.
After Wang Hao closed the door, he hurriedly followed.
After exchanging a few words with Wang Hao, Xu Fan already knew the other party's identity. It turned out that Wang Hao was the butler of the Imperial Residence.
Last night, the manor was haunted and the commotion was huge. Many of the servants in the manor were half-dead. Before dawn, some of them had escaped.
The servants who usually guarded the door also ran away.
Even if Wang Youde was the county's main registrar.
However, in the haunted situation of the Imperial Residence, his identity could not suppress those people.
Because the situation last night was even more serious than what the outside world said. Not only was Wang Youde's son, Wang Youfu, scared silly.
A few servants who were in charge of taking care of Wang Youfu died tragically, and their corpses were incomplete.
Under such circumstances, how could the servants not be afraid?
Even though they knew that they would die if they were caught, they still ran.
Xu Fan was not surprised by this. If he was a servant of the Prince's mansion, he would also run away if something like this happened in the mansion. If he didn't run away, would he stay in the mansion and wait for death?
At the same time, he could also determine that the ghost in the Imperial Residence was definitely a very fierce evil ghost, or even a malicious ghost.
Under Wang Hao's guidance, Xu Fan quickly arrived at the main hall of the Imperial Residence.
When Xu Fan stepped into the main hall, there were already quite a few people there.
There was an old monk and two young monks. In addition, there was a Taoist priest with a goatee and wearing a yellow Taoist robe. Behind him were two young Taoist priests.
A middle-aged man in his forties was sitting in the main seat of the hall. The man was dressed magnificently, and it was obvious that his identity was not simple. He also carried a faint aura of power, but his face was filled with worry.
When Xu Fan stepped into the hall under Wang Hao's guidance, everyone in the hall looked at him.
"Master." Wang Hao came before the middle-aged man on the main seat and bowed.
It turned out that this person was the master of the Imperial Residence, the Chief Bookkeeper Wang, Wang Youde.
"Who is he?"
"Old Master, this is an expert." Wang Hao turned around and glanced at Xu Fan before saying.
After saying that, he walked a few steps to Wang Youde's side and whispered a few words into his ear.
After Wang Hao finished speaking, Wang Youde looked at Xu Fan differently.
"So it's Priest Xu." Wang Youde stood up from the main seat and walked in front of Xu Fan. He cupped his hands and said politely.
"Please leave first, Priest Xu."
Xu Fan returned the greeting and sat down on a seat at the side.
At the same time, his gaze stopped on the old monk and the middle-aged Taoist priest for a moment.
Just from the appearance of the old monk, he had the bearing of an eminent monk.
As for the Taoist priest, Xu Fan felt that he was a liar.
Xu Fan didn't know if these two were Taoist masters. After all, he wasn't a cultivator.
When Xu Fan was sizing up the two of them, the monk and the middle-aged Taoist priest were also sizing him up.
When he noticed Xu Fan's gaze, the monk even slightly nodded at Xu Fan as a greeting.
As for the Taoist priest, he looked at Xu Fan coldly before looking away.
He probably didn't take Xu Fan seriously.
But thinking about it, Xu Fan still looked too young. He looked like he was just in his early twenties. How could he be a master?
The reason why he appeared here was probably because of the one thousand taels of silver.
"Daoist Priest Qing Mu, Venerable Hui Ming, Daoist Priest Xu, since the three of you have come, I believe the three of you should know about the matters in my residence.”
"No matter which of the three of you, as long as you can solve the problem in my residence and save my son, I will definitely offer a thousand silver as a token of gratitude. I hope that the three of you can help.”As he spoke, Wang Youde cupped his hands at the three of them.
The meaning in his words was very clear.
I don't care if you're working together or individually. As long as the matter is done well, I'll naturally give you a thousand taels. Of course, I'll only give you a thousand taels.
"Old Master Wang, there's no need to be so polite. It's the duty of our Buddhist Sect to subdue demons and devils. Huiming will do his best to protect himself. Amitabha.”
"This poor priest is the same."
Only Xu Fan smiled faintly. He did not say anything, nor did he give any guarantees.
However, no one in the hall cared.
"Old Master Wang, it's still time, and there's still some time before night falls. I still need to see your son's condition with my own eyes so that I can prescribe the right medicine.”Daoist Qing Mu spoke again.
"Please follow me." Wang Youde was delighted to hear Daoist Qing Mu's words. He stood up and walked out of the hall.
Daoist Qing Mu and Monk Hui Ming immediately followed along with their disciples.
Xu Fan walked at the back.
Following Wang Youde, the group quickly arrived outside a side room in a courtyard.
He walked into the house.
A cold and gloomy aura immediately assaulted him.
Everyone could clearly feel that the temperature inside and outside the house was quite different.
Inside the room, a young man in his twenties was lying on a wooden bed. He was motionless as if he was dead.
However, if you got closer, you would find that he was actually still breathing.
It was just that his breathing was too calm, making people feel like he was a dead man.
From the moment they entered the room, Tealwood and Huiming frowned.
Especially after they got close to the young man, their brows furrowed even deeper.
"This is my son, Wang Youfu. He has been like this since last night. No matter how I wake him up, he won't wake up.”
