Section 29 He Shouwu Rumors
Sure enough, it appeared!
I suddenly turned around and saw a male ghost about my age floating behind me, wearing a school uniform, pale face and bloody neck! But I was used to seeing all kinds of ghosts, so I was not very nervous, and this guy looked like a new ghost, so I shouted in a low voice: "Bold monster! Why do you pester aunt?!"
The ghost's originally dull gaze instantly regained his spirit and asked in surprise: "Can you see me?"
"certainly."
When the aunt saw me suddenly turned around and talked to herself, she stopped and asked, "Child, what happened?"
"I saw that ghost,"
Hearing this, the aunt looked a little nervous: "What kind of ghost?"
"Don't worry, let me ask." After saying that, I looked at the young male ghost: "Why are you pestering your aunt? What kind of hatred do you have?"
"No grudge, she...she is my mother."
What? My face changed! My aunt said yesterday that she also had a son who was in high school and had good academic performance. Is it the ghost in front of her? But why did he die? Did she say that my aunt had not received the news of his death? So I asked obscurely: "When did you get killed?"
The ghost's eyes were dim, his voice was low and gloomy, "A week ago, my mother worked hard to earn money to support me in school, but I... are you a Taoist priest?"
"yes."
"Can you help me and my mother meet?"
I looked embarrassed: "However, it's possible, it's just..."
I mean, there are only a little tears left in the cow. I don’t want to use it at will, but it’s okay to help him pass on the message. But he seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that I was taking the opportunity to take advantage of it, so he said, “As long as I help this, I will give you a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum!”
I obviously don't believe this. Although I don't know the value of Polygonum multiflorum, a thousand years of money will definitely be valuable. If he really had it, would he live so hard? But I didn't refuse, but asked, "Can you tell me how you died?"
The ghost nodded: "My name is Xue Yuanliang. Because my household registration is not here, I can only go back to the countryside to study in high school. My mother set up a street stall here to make money for me to go to school. I know she is very hard, so she went out to distribute leaflets during the holidays to make money. Until a few days ago, after someone introduced me, I found a very high-paid job."
After hearing this, I knew that it must be the job that made him die, so I didn't interrupt and waited for his next sentence.
Xue Yuanliang continued: "The employer is a university professor and also brings a male student. They are engaged in botany and want to go into the mountains to find out if there are any precious plants. My hometown is in a mountain village in the mountains, so I am very familiar with the environment. The old professor hired me and said that I would go into the mountains to explore for about a week and give me a reward of 200 yuan a day. After I asked for leave from the school, I took them into the mountains. That day was last Monday."
I asked, "And what happened?"
"It was very calm at the beginning, and the old professor was also good. When asked how I was doing my academic performance, I answered the top ten in the school. The old professor said that if I was interested in botany, I could apply to Capital University in the future. He was the professor there. As long as I studied hard with him, I would not have to worry about my future. I was very excited by the invitation of the Capital University professor and agreed at that time and was even more respectful to him along the way."
"Is he a bad guy?"
Xue Yuanliang said sadly: "No, he is not a bad person. We searched in the mountains for five days and found many precious plants. Just as we were about to leave, we suddenly found a plant on the cliff. The old professor said that it seemed to be the Vines of Polygonum multiflorum, and it looked quite old. He insisted on going down to take a look, so he hung the hiking rope he carried with him on the tree and climbed down alone. Soon, the old professor said excitedly below that this was actually a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum! It was a once-in-a-lifetime treasure!"
Speaking of this, Xue Yuanliang suddenly showed a look of horror on his face: "Millennium Polygonum multiflorum, I know it's precious when I hear the name. Just when we are happy, I suddenly heard a roar from behind! When I look back, there was a tiger with white background and black lines standing there! And it was an adult tiger, with a huge body! It directly threw the professor's student to the ground and bit his neck! I turned around and ran away, not daring to stay! But the tiger chased after him, with a very fast speed! I only felt a flash of white shadow in front of me, and my neck was torn... Then the tiger walked to the hiking rope and bit off the rope. The professor fell directly from the cliff..."
I frowned: "The wild beasts have such high wisdom? They can still bite the mountaineering rope?"
"I know it's incredible, but it's the case. As long as I agree to my conditions, I will tell you the location of Polygonum multiflorum. As for how to deal with the white tiger, it's not my problem." Xue Yuanliang said: "Because my mother's heart is not good, my aunt did not dare to tell her about my death, but after all, it's impossible to keep the paper from being in the end. Since that's the case, it's better for me to tell her in person."
I was not interested in Polygonum multiflorum. I just nodded and said, "Yes, but it's only an hour."
"No, at least three days and three nights!"
"You lion speaks loudly, I don't have that many props at all. If you have to do it for three days and three nights, you can only extinguish the yang fire on her shoulders, which will cause harm to her body."
"Then, can three hours be enough?"
"No, it's up to two hours, no more."
Xue Yuanliang thought for a while and agreed, "Okay, when will she see me?"
"Tomorrow, I didn't bring any props today."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here at this time tomorrow."
At this moment, the aunt asked from the side: "Child, who are you talking to?"
I took a deep breath, looked at her with some pity, and said, "It's nothing, aunt, please go back first. This ghost doesn't want to harm you, and you know you too. I will arrange for you to meet tomorrow night."
"Meet the ghost?"
"Yes, in short, I will go to the night market to find you tomorrow night." After saying that, I turned around and left...
………………………………………
The next day, early morning.
The ugly ghost asked me how I was doing last night. I told Xue Yuanliang about it. After hearing this, the ugly ghost's expression changed slightly: "It's really a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum?"
"I feel like he's making up stories, just wanting me to help, and I also say there's a very smart tiger, which I don't believe at all."
The ugly ghost shook his head: "No, he should not have lie. The so-called life is like a lifetime, and plants and trees are all in autumn. Polygonum multiflorum is a herb, and most herbs can only live for one year. Polygonum multiflorum is a little more, but it is only a dozen years. In addition to natural disasters and wild beasts, wild Polygonum multiflorum may not be able to survive for more than ten years. Unless it grows in a place where 'energy condenses', Polygonum multiflorum absorbs the essence of vitality and lives for thousands of years is not impossible, but that thing only exists in legends, and I have never seen it."
"What's going on with the tiger?"
"It should be a monster. It is protecting Polygonum multiflorum and eating Polygonum multiflorum when Polygonum multiflorum sucks up the 'angry' there."
After hearing the ugly ghost's explanation, I was shocked: "So, Millennium Polygonum multiflorum is really a treasure? Can I become an immortal after eating it like in a movie?"
"No. But the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum that absorbs vitality can nourish essence and blood, strengthen muscles and bones, activate the meridians and detoxify, and prolong life. To put it simply, after taking it, it can make the blood more refined and positive, and can also strengthen muscles and bones, open up the meridians, increase life span, and even relieve some highly toxic."
"So awesome?"
The ugly ghost Diandian had only half of his head: "Of course, Polygonum multiflorum has absorbed thousands of years of vitality, and it is not surprising that it has this effect."
I was just about to quickly improve my strength, so I said with some desire: "Why don't we go and find Polygonum multiflorum."
"You want to die under the claws of that monster?"
It is said that although things are good, they have to have their lives to get them. If you leave your life there, it is better not to go. So I stopped talking about Polygonum multiflorum and said, "That's right, it's more reliable to practice down-to-earth. Okay, I'm going to run."
"Actually, I don't have a chance to get Polygonum multiflorum. I will come to find you tonight. After the ghost fulfills his wish, I will bring him back and ask carefully about the situation of the tiger demon. If the Tao is not good, we still have a chance."
I came downstairs and jogged while saying, "What's the chance? Even if what Xue Yuanliang said is true, I can't go. First of all, taking leave is a problem, and secondly, the travel expenses are also a problem. Finally, if I suddenly disappear, the vice governor may attack my parents."
The ugly ghost floated beside him and said, "The Vice Governor, you can ask Master Jiang to find a reason to delay it. Your identity will be exposed sooner or later, and the Ghost King will also attack you. Since that's the case, it's better to strengthen your strength while he hasn't noticed you..."
………………………………………
After lunch, I took the bus to Master Jiang’s hardware store.
As soon as I entered the room, I found him sitting in front of the computer browsing something. I greeted me: "Master, what are you busy with?"
"Oh, I'll look at gdp."
I got closer and saw that this guy was searching for Guodanpi on Taobao.
Guo Danpi is GDP? You think I am a fool? But today I came here to discuss important matters, so I didn’t bury him, but said: “Master, I recently came out for a long journey. The Vice Governor asked you to delay me.”
Hearing this, Master Jiang almost jumped up: "You kid don't want to run away, right? No, I have to pack up my things as well!"
Looking at his busy figure, I said, "Master, please take a rest. I won't run away. After all, my parents are still here. I just went to buy Niu Xie. I will definitely come back within two weeks, but I am worried that the vice governor is anxious, so you can just find an excuse to make excuses."
Master Jiang said reluctantly: "That's it, then okay, I'll help you once for free."
"Master, this time it's not just free, you have to pay me some money. You know, I bought Niu Yanqing because I helped the deputy governor. In fact, you can't pay the funds. Then you can't help the deputy governor. Don't blame me if you go to prison."
"You are taking advantage of the situation!" The master was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Tell me! How much do you want!"
(Make it tomorrow, I'm so sleepy...)
