146. Chapter 146 Humans and ghosts take different paths 1
Murong Qianqian came back to her senses, frowned and stared at the clan leader and said, "I'm full, but can you give me some more to pack so that I won't be hungry when I go on the road?"
The villagers were immediately frightened when they heard this. They knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Mother of the Land, you are about to hit the road~ You have to save us~"
Murong Qianqian was puzzled, but it was difficult to show off the taste of a mortal, so she had to straighten her face and look as if she was not stained with dust.
He cleared his throat and said: "Although the local immortal is the father-in-law of the land here, his time to descend to earth is limited. It has been a full day since his appearance yesterday. I guess he should return to heaven as soon as possible."
A villager was surprised and said: "Mother of the Land, isn't your immortal duty to stay in the mortal world to protect the safety of the mortals on this land? Why do you want to return to heaven?"
The corners of Murong Qianqian's lips twitched, oh, what a coincidence that it was her first time to play the role of a god, but she ended up playing the role of a landless father-in-law with no status.
With her appearance like a flower and the moon, these people should have thought she was Chang'e or a flower fairy from somewhere.
Alas~ The rural folk are so blind, so blind!
Murong Qianqian straightened her expression after hearing this, waved her sleeves gracefully and said: "Local immortals are different from those earthly father-in-laws. Local immortals have great status."
The villagers nodded, but still looked at her blankly.
Murong Qianqian straightened her expression again, waved her sleeves more gracefully and said: "Look at this local immortal, who sinks like a fish and falls like a wild goose, closes the moon to shame the flowers, enchants the country and the city, looks like a flower like the moon, is it possible that he is living in the mortal world?"
The villagers were stunned for a moment, and after pondering for a moment, they unanimously said: "Impossible~"
Murong Qianqian slapped her thigh and said happily: "That's right, so the local immortal must return to heaven quickly, otherwise the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother in heaven can't find me. What should I do if I'm in a hurry~"
The villagers were suddenly stunned and said in admiration: "It turns out that the Earth Empress is not only an earth fairy, she is actually a princess, and she must be a very beloved princess. That's why the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are very anxious."
"...This..." Where to start? Murong Qianqian didn't know what direction these villagers were thinking, but she just hoped that what she said today would not reach the ears of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
"Well, you can think so~ Then the local immortal will take his leave first~" After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave, but felt that one thing was not done.
After thinking for a while, he grabbed the patriarch's clothes and said: "Chief, I see there are some leftover meals in the kitchen, why not pack them up~"
The clan leader gave the villagers a wink, and soon someone put the remaining food in the kitchen into a vegetable basket and brought it over.
Murong Qianqian saw that with food, at least she would not be hungry in a short period of time, and she would be able to figure out a way to survive when she entered the city.
He happily picked up the packed food in his hands, straightened his robe and said, "Then the local immortal will leave. After returning to heaven, I will help you say hello to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother."
The villagers felt that it was a very, very honorable thing for their words to reach the ears of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. They were so happy that they were dazed for a moment and said, "Queen of the Land, please go slowly, don't send me away~"
When they came to their senses, they saw that Murong Qianqian had already run a long way away. Suddenly, they all panicked and shouted that it was time to get down to business, and they also chased after her.
For a moment, a long stream of people formed on the narrow country road, chasing each other. It was really spectacular.
Murong Qianqian looked back at the dark crowd and sighed in her heart. Suddenly she remembered a line from an advertisement for cough syrup, "Why are you chasing me?"
While she was distracted, her feet were suddenly tripped by something. She subconsciously lowered her head and looked down but found nothing. Perhaps her balance had improved after falling too much recently. She staggered twice but didn't fall down.
But just as she stood firm, she felt a cool breeze blowing behind her, her vision suddenly went dark, she heard several "bang bang~" sounds, and she was pinned down by a group of elderly people.
However, Murong Qianqian felt that it was not as painful as she imagined. There seemed to be someone underneath her body, which was soft and comfortable.
"Hiss~ My waist is broken~" I don't know who said this suddenly.
Murong Qianqian was knocked unconscious from the beating. When she regained consciousness, she was sitting in the ancestral hall again. The patriarch was complaining to her with runny nose and tears.
The content of the complaint is roughly like this, a long, long, long time ago, (Hey~ I seem to smell the smell of feet, is there a reader who took off his shoes and was about to hit the author?) Well, that’s in short.
Two thousand years ago.
A young man in the village accidentally fell into a nearby lake and drowned. Because the reincarnation of the water ghost is different from other ghosts, he has to drag someone into the water before he can surrender.
The young water ghost is kind-hearted in nature. Whenever he encounters people near the lake, he cannot bear to attack them. He thinks that if they become water ghosts, they will harm other people. It is better for him to suffer the pain.
Time has passed by for a thousand years, no one has died in the lake, and the village is surprisingly peaceful.
Until one day, a girl decided to commit suicide by throwing herself into a river because her husband's family broke off her engagement. As soon as the girl submerged her head into the water, she saw the handsome face of the young water ghost.
Later, the young water ghost rescued the girl ashore. Although the girl knew that he was a water ghost, she still admired him deeply.
From that day on, the girl would dress up every time night fell. She would sit on the bank of the river and wait for the young water ghost to meet her.
At first, the young water ghost felt that it was not appropriate to see each other in the uncertainties of life and death, so he always hid under the water to peek at the girl, or occasionally listened to her talking to herself.
Time flies by a year, and the girl still insists on sitting by the river every day, but now she always brings some wine and food, and talks nonsense while eating.
For example, it would be great if you didn't die and I would marry you. If I died, it would be great if I came to accompany you. It would be great if we both died and stayed together. Anyway, we will never leave each other until death.
The young water ghost might have been moved by the girl's persistence, or he might have been nagged by her words, or he might have been frightened by her words of immortality. Anyway, on a dark and windy night, he appeared.
The girl didn't show any excitement, she just laughed calmly and waved: "You're here, I'm waiting for you to drink with me~"
It is said that drunkenness leads to sexual incest, and perhaps the water ghost is not exempt from this. After that day, the water ghost truly fell in love with the girl, and the two began a long-distance relationship.
Because the water ghost cannot leave the water, he can only accompany the girl for a walk along the river, looking at each other lovingly along the river, and talking about love along the river.
