Chapter 1432: Treasure

The gatekeeper found the master and reported that there was a scholar outside who said he had a way to get rid of evil spirits. The master heard that someone had a way to catch ghosts, so he hurried out to meet him.

These days, he searched all over Lanxi and even the surrounding prefectures and counties, looking for those masters who usually claimed to be masters to catch ghosts, but those people either avoided him or said they had something to do. Anyway, they just didn't come. The master also knew that these people must have heard that the evil ghost was powerful and they were afraid of losing their lives if they knew they couldn't defeat it, so they didn't dare to come.

Every day, the county magistrate kept urging him, and the master was very anxious. Today, someone took the initiative to come to his door, whether it was true or not, he would see it first.

Seeing that Jiang Hao was a young scholar, he immediately denied that he could catch ghosts and asked, "Scholar, you said there is a way to catch ghosts, but do you know where there is a real master? Come on, report the news and find the master. If you catch the evil ghost, you will still get a reward."

Jiang Hao smiled, "Scholar Jiang Hao from Qingxi Town, meet Master Zhao. I am not here to sell my message, but I have some skills passed down by my ancestors, and I want to try to catch the ghost."

"You?!"

The master was shocked.

The scholar in front of him didn't look like someone who could catch evil ghosts.

"Scholar Jiang, that evil ghost is very powerful. He defeated Master Ku Ming and drove away Taoist Ling Xiao. I have looked for all the famous masters nearby, but none of them dared to come. How dare you, a scholar, take this job? This master advises you not to lose your life for money." The master said earnestly.

This master seems to be a good person.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. To be honest, I came here this time because I am worried about the life of the county magistrate and my future. I will take the county exam this year. The exam period will be in a few days. If the matter of the evil ghost is not resolved, the county exam cannot be held without the presidency of the county magistrate, and it will also delay my imperial examination." Jiang Hao said.

The master looked at Jiang Hao again, "Are you sure?"

"I can only say half and half." Jiang Hao said.

The master thought for a while, "Well, come with me, go to see the county magistrate, and tell him what you want to say."

The master had no choice. If he dragged it on, something serious might happen. He had to try his best.

The master led Jiang Hao to the door of the land temple and shouted inside: "Master, I brought a magician here, claiming that he can catch ghosts. You must see him."

The county magistrate had been locked up in the land temple for four or five days and had been waiting anxiously. When he heard that a magician was coming, he immediately jumped up from the bed, hugged the statue of the land god and came to the door, looking out through the carved wood cracks in the window.

"Where is the mage?" The county magistrate glanced at Jiang Hao and felt that this scholar did not look like a mage, so he asked the lawyer next to him.

The master pointed at Jiang Hao, "This scholar Jiang is from Qingxi in this county. He said he has a way to catch ghosts."

The county magistrate turned to look at Jiang Hao, his eyes full of doubts, and then his face was a little ugly. He thought Jiang Hao was here to cheat money, and said sternly: "You can catch ghosts. You are a scholar. Don't try to deceive me. I will put you in jail."

Jiang Hao was amused. He was so virtuous, but he still showed off his power. He bowed his hands and said slowly: "Sir, although I am a scholar, I usually practice kung fu. My uncle once had a Taoist monk who passed down some things. I have some means of catching ghosts and demons. I usually only use them for self-protection. If it weren't for the danger of you, Jiang would never show it."

"Can you really catch ghosts?"

"Really!"

"Okay, then I believe you. If you catch the evil ghost, I will definitely reward you heavily. Master Zhao, scholar Jiang has asked you to complete it." County magistrate Wang said.

Jiang Hao bowed to the county magistrate inside the door and left.

Late at night.

The wind started to blow.

The county government flags were rustling in the wind.

Jiang Hao was wearing a moon-white robe, a scarf on his head, and holding a golden sword in his hand. He stood tall and proud in the courtyard, with the ribbon behind his head flying in the wind, looking very chic.

The master, the constables and the yamen runners hid in the room, looking outside through the window, whispering.

"This scholar is really fearless. He dared to fight the evil ghost. I don't know what means he has. Master, I just heard you and the scholar asking questions. Did you find out anything?" the head constable asked.

The master twisted his goat beard, looked outside and whispered: "The scholar said that he has a Taoist method of catching ghosts passed down from his ancestors. The golden sword in his hand has a great origin and is a Taoist magic weapon. As for the rest, I don't know."

"Don't let the money make you lose your life here for nothing." A yamen runner said.

"I hope he can succeed. The evil ghost is making people panic, and we can't live a peaceful life." The head of the police said.

At this moment, a ghost howl suddenly came from far away, and everyone in the room shrank their necks in fear, "The evil ghost may be here!"

Jiang Hao stood in the yard, looking up, and saw a green figure floating down from the sky above the county government office, stopping more than ten meters in front of Jiang Hao, staring with big eyes and shouting: "Why, did you find a magician again today? Why is it a scholar?"

Jiang Hao was not afraid of the evil ghost. He pointed at the evil ghost with the golden sword in his hand and scolded: "I have a great spirit in my body. I will definitely kill you here today."

"What a big mouth, then I will eat your heart and liver first, and then kill the county magistrate. These few days I have thought of a way to break the land god. Today I will definitely ask for the soul of the county magistrate to devour." The evil ghost roared in the air.

The county magistrate hiding in the land god temple was so scared that his body trembled wildly when he heard the evil ghost's words. He thought it was over, and he was afraid that his death would come today.

In fact, he had no confidence in Jiang Hao's ability to catch ghosts. The young scholar was far inferior to Master Ku Ming and Ling Xiao Taoist. He just had no way to let the scholar try, thinking that the Earth God could still protect him, but the evil ghost said that he had a way to break the Earth God. At this moment, he felt as if his heart was dead.

Not only the county magistrate, but also the master, the constable and others felt that something bad might happen today.

"Scholar, give me your heart and liver." The evil ghost shouted and rushed towards Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao waved the golden sword in his hand and stabbed it out. The evil ghost did not dodge and grabbed the sword with his huge claws.

Swish~!

The golden sword stabbed the evil ghost's giant hand, and a burst of green smoke suddenly came out of the giant hand, and there was a continuous crackling sound, just like a red-hot iron clamp inserted into the water. The evil ghost screamed and the huge claws retracted violently.

"What are you? How can you hurt me!" The evil ghost shouted viciously.

Jiang Hao pointed at the evil ghost with a stern look on his face and said, "This is the sharp weapon for killing ghosts, the Golden Money Sword, a magical Taoist magic weapon. It is extremely precious and was passed down by my ancestors. It is specially used to kill evil spirits like you. Evil ghost, give me your life."

As he spoke, he moved forward and stabbed the Golden Money Sword at the evil ghost. The evil ghost was so scared that he quickly dodged, but he didn't dare to touch the Golden Money Sword.

The evil ghost dodged, and Jiang Hao chased him. The two fought in the yard.

Jiang Hao used his sword skills, and his sword moves were gorgeous. The evil ghost was erratic and kept dodging.

The masters, constables, and yamen runners who were secretly watching the situation outside were excited when they saw this scene. The Golden Money Sword was so precious that it could actually hurt the evil ghost.

Before, the evil ghost came and smashed the Zen master and the Taoist priest. He was very powerful. I didn't expect that he would be chased and chopped by this scholar today.

The fight outside was lively, and everyone in the room was also nervous. The constable had also practiced kung fu. Seeing Jiang Hao's swordsmanship, he said, "This scholar Jiang has a sharp swordsmanship. It can be seen that he is a master of swordsmanship. I didn't expect that he is really good at both civil and military affairs."

"Now I just hope that he can kill the evil ghost." The master held the window to help Jiang Hao.

The fight between one man and one ghost was fierce. Suddenly, the evil ghost disappeared in a flash, and the next moment it flashed from the other side, clawing at the scholar's back. The others were so scared that they wanted to shout to warn, but at this moment, Jiang Hao turned around neatly and sent out the golden sword in his hand.

"Swish!"

The sword just pierced the evil ghost's chest.

Puff puff puff~!

The evil ghost's chest spurted out a large group of white gas. The evil ghost waved his claws and struggled, looking extremely painful, and then retreated and floated into the air.

The evil ghost covered his chest, and the green light on his body was no longer as bright as before. He shouted at Jiang Hao in a weak and hoarse voice: "How dare you, a scholar, hurt me? I will leave today and seek revenge on the county magistrate in the future."

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

The master and the head of the police in the room saw this scene and were all happy. This was to defeat the evil ghost. Although he failed to kill it, Jiang Hao was the first person to defeat the evil ghost, which shocked everyone.

Jiang Hao stood in the yard, looking around warily. After waiting for a while, he said to the room: "Master Zhao, head of the police, please come out, the evil ghost should be gone."

Master Zhao and head of the police heard Jiang Hao calling them, and came out with their men. Master Zhao bowed to Jiang Hao, "Mr. Jiang, did you hurt the evil ghost?"

Jiang Hao hurt the evil ghost, and Master Zhao's attitude changed drastically. He was not respectful at all before, but now he even called him Mr.

"Well, the evil ghost was badly injured by me. It will take some time to recover. Let's go and tell the county magistrate together." Jiang Hao said.

The county magistrate had actually been listening with his ears erect, including the whole fight. When Jiang Hao and the master came over, the county magistrate rarely opened the door of the land god temple and asked anxiously: "Scholar Jiang, how is the evil ghost?"

"My treasure pierced his chest with a sword, and he was seriously injured. It may take a month or two to recover before he dares to come out. The county magistrate does not have to live in the land god temple for the time being." Jiang Hao said.

County Magistrate Wang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he could finally get out today, but he was still worried and asked anxiously: "You just hurt him. What if the evil ghost recovers from his injuries in a few days and comes to me again?"

Jiang Hao pretended to think about it, and finally shook his head helplessly, "I don't have any good solution for the time being."

Hearing that Jiang Hao had no good solution, the county magistrate was disappointed, but he was able to escape today. He knew that the scholar in front of him had real skills, much stronger than the previous magicians, and he didn't dare to offend him at all.

"Can I go out now?" the county magistrate asked.

"I am here to keep you safe." Jiang Hao said sternly.

The county magistrate shook his robe and sighed, "I haven't taken a bath for four or five days, and I stink. Master, please go to the living room for tea. I'm going to take a bath and have something to say to Mr. Jiang later."

The county magistrate took a bath and changed clothes. Jiang Hao and the master drank tea in the living room. The master was very polite to Jiang Hao now. He looked at the golden sword on the table and asked curiously, "Mr. Jiang, I saw you use this sword to hurt the evil ghost just now. What is the origin of this sword?"

Jiang Hao touched the golden sword and said proudly, "This is a treasure left by my great uncle. It is called the golden sword. It is one of the Taoist magic weapons. It can drive away ghosts and evil spirits."

"Ordinary coins will do?" the master asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head. "It's not that simple. This sword is made of 108 Five Emperors' coins, strung together by red string. The Five Emperors' coins are made of the coins of the Five Emperors of this dynasty. The red string is soaked in cinnabar. The most important thing is to sacrifice and refine it. I heard from my ancestors that this sword was in the hands of a master, and it took 49 years of sacrifice and refinement with magic power. That's why it is so powerful and can seriously injure the evil ghost."
