The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 74: Fighting Ghosts
Although Dou Qian also wanted to solve his son's problem as soon as possible, Master Ning was in danger, and he couldn't stop Miss Xie from going to save him.

Dou Qian took the talisman and said, "I understand. Saving people is the most important thing."

Xie Lan nodded, turned around and told Tiechui to go back and get the backpack containing the talisman paper and magic tools.

Yang Feng bowed to Dou Qian and said, "Thank you, Lord Dou. I will definitely come to thank you someday."

Although Yang Feng was Xiao Jin's bodyguard, he also had another identity, so Dou Qian did not dare to be arrogant. He resisted the urge to greet him and stood there and said a few polite words.

The old ladies did not know Yang Feng's identity, but seeing that Dou Qian, the commander of the East City Army, did not say anything, they did not dare to have any opinions.

Tiechui quickly brought the things over, and Xie Lan hurriedly followed Yang Feng out.

Dou Qian also said goodbye and left.

After everyone had left, the Second Lady looked at the gifts sent by Dou Qian with envy and wished she could take them all back to her courtyard.

But when she thought of her husband and daughter who were still copying scriptures in the ancestral hall as punishment, she dared not move.

Rolling her eyes, the Second Lady wanted to persuade the Old Lady to return the things to the public, but the Old Lady ignored her and continued to think about ways to make money.

Yang Feng brought Xie Lan to Dongcheng.

Xie Lan glanced at the large house with four entrances in front of him, and as he followed Yang Feng inside, he asked casually, "Is this Zhao Chong's residence?"

Yang Feng shook his head, "No, this is our young master's house."

Xie Lan raised his eyebrows. "It seems that your son is doing well in the capital. What kind of business does he run?"

Yang Feng paused, and almost blurted out that my son is an official, but then he changed his mind and said, "My son is involved in a wide range of industries, including restaurants and bookstores."

Yang Feng said this vaguely, fearing that Xie Lan would ask more questions, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Thank you, Miss. Zhao Chong's condition is not good. The first time he drowned was when he was washing his hands by the river and was dragged into the water. He almost died at that time, but fortunately he was lucky. The young master asked us to go down with the talisman paper and safety mirror given by the young lady, and then we rescued him.

The second time was on the way back to Beijing, a child fell into the water, Zhao Chong couldn't bear to see her drown, so he went down to save her. After the child was rescued, Zhao Chong fainted.

No matter how others called him, he couldn't be woken up, and the doctor couldn't help. When we found him and brought him back to the inn, he didn't wake up until the next day.

We originally thought that he was fine, but we didn't expect that when we returned to the capital yesterday, we were all sleeping well at night and heard the servant's cry for help. Only then did we realize that Zhao Chong had actually jumped into the lotus pond in the mansion.

When we fished him out, we found that he had fainted again and we couldn't wake him up no matter how hard we tried. We called several doctors but they were helpless and even asked us to prepare for his funeral."

Fortunately, Xiao Jin found out and sent him a message, and then he came to ask Xie Lan to rescue people.

Xie Lan was speechless, "Zhao Chong is possessed by something dirty. You can't save him by calling a doctor."

Just as he finished speaking, Guard Zhou suddenly ran out hurriedly from inside. When he saw Yang Feng, his face lit up with joy.

"Guard Yang, is this Fairy Xie? Hurry up, Zhao Chong has woken up, but he seems to be possessed by a demon. He wants to rush out with a knife in hand, shouting that he wants to kill Fan Mingju, that playboy.

We couldn't stop him no matter what we did, and several of our brothers were injured by him."

Seeing Yang Feng looking at him anxiously, Xie Lan said, "Okay, lead the way quickly."

Guard Zhou was overjoyed, "Xie Xian Auntie, please come this way." He had never seen Xie Lan before, and seeing how young she was, he didn't know if she was really that powerful.

But if Zhao Chong is allowed to continue making trouble, not only will he die, but his brothers will also be implicated by him. Now we can only try our best.

When Xie Lan saw Zhao Chong, seven or eight guards surrounded him as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Zhao Chong had no injuries, but the guards were all injured.

It wasn't that Zhao Chong's martial arts were better than those guards, but everyone knew that he had been possessed by evil spirits and was not in his right mind. When they started fighting, they were inevitably restrained.

Seeing Zhao Chong start attacking the guards again, Yang Feng hurriedly asked Xie Lan, "Miss Xie, what should we do now?"

Guard Zhou then asked, "What do you need us to do?"

Xie Lan shook his head, "No need." Guard Zhou opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Yang Feng shaking his head at him, he had to shut his mouth.

Xie Lan signaled Tiechui to put down the backpack and took out a peach wood sword from it.

He took out another piece of talisman paper and threw it into the air. Then he pointed the peach wood sword and the talisman paper exploded in the air with a bang and ignited flames.

"The red sky fire cloud, the mighty power shakes the heaven and earth, it absorbs the evil spirit from above, and cuts off the evil atmosphere from below... the lightning flashes, the wind blows without stopping, it transforms into the true one, and pays homage to the emperor. Hurry up and obey the command——"

Xie Lan put his two fingers together and drew them across the peach wood sword. A flash of lightning instantly appeared on the sword.

Suddenly, Xie Lan shouted, "Get out of the way."

Yang Feng was worried that the guards would affect Xie Lan's spellcasting, so he shouted, "Retreat!"

Those guards were a little worried about whether Xie Lan could deal with Zhao Chong, so they had no choice but to retreat after hearing Yang Feng's order.

Xie Lan chanted a spell, coordinated with the Tiangang Step, and swung his sword towards Zhao Chong.

Xie Lan is good-looking, and her movements for exorcising ghosts are like dancing, making her look elegant and ethereal.

Although it was pleasing to the eye, the guards nearby who were highly skilled in martial arts felt that her sword moves were not sharp enough and not powerful enough, and they were all worried.

She was afraid that she would not be able to deal with Zhao Chong and would be killed by him instead.

Even Yang Feng was staring at Xie Lan closely, ready to rescue her at any time, for fear that she would be accidentally injured by Zhao Chong and would not be able to explain to Xiao Jin.

Only Tiechui was not worried. She knew Xie Lan's abilities clearly, and also knew that she did not understand any esoteric arts. If she acted recklessly, she would only hinder him.

In just a short while, Xie Lan had already exchanged several moves with Zhao Chong.

Zhao Chong is a martial arts expert, but now he is bewildered by ghosts.

Xie Lan had something restraining in his hand, so he didn't dare to get close at all, but he was extremely irritable, and kept dodging and trying his best to resist.

The surroundings were filled with thick black air, and the cold wind, mixed with evil spirits, kept rolling.

Xie Lan used the flying lightning spell on the peach wood sword in his hand, combined with the talisman paper, and hit Zhao Chong several times.

After a few rounds, Zhao Chong became more and more irritable, and rushed over with his teeth bared and roaring.

Xie Lan knew that she was not as strong as Zhao Chong and could not keep fighting. She waved the peach wood sword in one hand and took out a handful of talisman paper with the other hand, throwing it at Zhao Chong like a fairy scattering flowers.

Yang Feng's eyebrows twitched as he watched. The talisman paper that Miss Xie gave him last time when he saved Zhao Chong was burned to ashes.

On the way back to Beijing, he passed by a temple. He was worried that he would encounter something unclean again, so he thought of buying dozens of amulets for self-protection.

Unexpectedly, the abbot of the temple said that making talismans was extremely energy-consuming, and he did not have many on hand, so he only agreed to give two.

Yang Feng spent eighty taels on this. The talisman paper was expensive, but the key was that it could not keep away ghosts at all.

Now seeing Xie Lan using so much talisman paper, he felt heartbroken, because all that was burned were silver bills.

Xie Lan didn't know that Yang Feng was worried about her talisman paper. While Zhao Chong was dodging, she stabbed him quickly with the peach wood sword in her hand.

The peach wood sword could not kill people, but it burned the ghost in Zhao Chong's body, and the ghost screamed and struggled out of Zhao Chong's body.

Seeing that he wanted to escape, Xie Lan hurriedly swung his sword to chop him again, but a female ghost suddenly rushed out of the lake next to him and dragged Zhao Chong into the lake...
