Jiang Liying thanked her, took Lin Xiaodong back to Yuokelai, and arranged a room to stay in.
At dusk that day, Lin Xiaodong was sitting quietly on the bed when he suddenly heard a knock on the door: "Taoist Master Lin?"
It's time to eat."
Lin Xiaodong got out of bed and opened the door, and saw Jiang Liying and Liu Tongyun, each holding a dinner plate.
Jiang Liying said: "I didn't know that Taoist Lin was a vegetarian or meat-eater, so he simply did it all."
Lin Xiaodong invited people in: "Boss Jiang is too polite."
Jiang Liying put down her dinner plate and sat down at the table without any intention of leaving.
Lin Xiaodong sat down opposite Jiang Liying: "Then I won't be polite."
Jiang Liying smiled: "The food served by Yue Ke is not bad. I hope Director Lin won't dislike it."
Lin Xiaodong moved his chopsticks and saw that the food was indeed delicious. He nodded and said, "The chef at the inn is really good at his craftsmanship."
Jiang Liying nodded: "As long as Taoist Master Lin likes it, I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to it."
Liu Tongyun asked curiously from the side: "How could Taoist Master Lin go up the mountain to become a Taoist priest at such a young age?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Everyone has his own chance, and his destiny is like this."
Jiang Liying asked: "I heard Mr. Gao say that he was possessed by the spirit in the painting, but it was Taoist Lin who saved his life."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "It is true.
I went to Guxiangju to buy paintings and accidentally saw the painting of five women. I thought there was something wrong with it, so I wanted to buy it. I happened to meet Mr. Gao.
Mr. Gao was fascinated by the beauty in the painting and wanted to buy it. Boss Shi Yuelingshi asked me to accommodate him, so I agreed.
He bought the painting and hung it in his room. In the middle of the night, he was fascinated by the spirit in the painting.
I knew something was going to happen, so I went to Mr. Gao's house in the middle of the night and rescued him."
Liu Tongyun asked: "What about the monsters?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I have conquered him and sent him to a good place."
Jiang Liying smiled and said: "It turns out it was beauty that caused the trouble."
Liu Tongyun found it incredible: "Can a painting also become a masterpiece?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "The author of this painting is unknown. I must have put a lot of effort into it when creating it."
Jiang Liying and Liu Tongyun both nodded.
Jiang Liying asked: "I wonder where Taoist Master Lin studied, what sect he is from, and why he lives alone in Qiongchang Mountain?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Lin is a wandering Taoist with no family or sect. Qiongchang Mountain is the property of Taoist Master Yu Xiangqingyu of the Qingrong Sect of Yundong Mountain. I am just staying here temporarily."
Jiang Liying raised her head and said: "That's it."
Lin Xiaodong asked: "I wonder if Boss Shen is married?"
Jiang Liying shook her head: "No."
Lin Xiaodong was surprised: "Boss Jiang is rich and handsome, so how can he still be unmarried?"
Jiang Liying sighed quietly: "Director Lin is not from Jicheng, so he doesn't know anything."
He got up and walked away.
Liu Tongyun blinked and followed out the door.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Liying was sleeping soundly. A figure faintly appeared in the room. It became clearer and clearer. It was a bride, with her hair covering her face, her head lowered, holding a floral paper umbrella, her feet off the ground, and came to the bedside.
.
Jiang Liying felt cold all over and woke up. She turned around and saw a man standing in front of the bed, tilting his head and sneering at herself. She was so frightened that she lost her mind and screamed.
Lin Xiaodong was meditating on the bed in his residence, heard a sound, opened his eyes, disappeared, and appeared out of thin air in Jiang Liying's room.
The bride was squeezing Jiang Liying's neck and said fiercely: "I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
Jiang Liying wore a red bellyband on her upper body and pink pajamas on her lower body. She was pinched until her face turned purple. She stretched out her hand to Lin Xiaodong and said with difficulty: "Help...life..." The bride turned her head, with delicate features, but
With a bloodless face and vicious eyes, he roared at Lin Xiaodong and rushed towards him.
Lin Xiaodong dodged, took a step forward, came to the bedside, and took Jiang Liying's arm.
Jiang Liying leaned away from Lin Xiaodong, trying to break free, but Lin Xiaodong didn't let go, so she had to pull the quilt over and cover her chest.
The bride jumped away, turned around, bared her teeth and claws, and pounced again.
Jiang Liying shrank her shoulders in fear, closed her eyes and screamed.
But the bride passed through Lin Xiaodong and Jiang Liying.
The bride was stunned, turned around and pounced, but missed again.
Lin Xiaodong said: "If you scare people again, I'll put you in a frying pan!"
The bride glared and bared her teeth. She glanced up and down at Lin Xiaodong, but she disappeared.
Lin Xiaodong let go of Jiang Liying's arm, but Jiang Liying suddenly hugged Lin Xiaodong's arm, her face was pale and her whole body was shaking.
Lin Xiaodong said: "It's okay, she's gone."
Jiang Liying let go and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.
Liu Tongyun and Ma Guansheng, the waiter in the inn, heard the commotion and hurried over: "What's wrong?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "The female ghost is here."
When Liu Tongyun heard this, her beauty turned pale, and she looked around: "Where is it?"
Jiang Liying stretched out her hand to Liu Tongyun and cried: "She is right next to my bed. If it weren't for Daochang Lin, I would have been strangled to death!"
Liu Tongyun sat down, hugged Jiang Liying, and looked up at Lin Xiaodong: "Thanks for inviting Taoist Lin here today."
Lin Xiaodong said to Jiang Liying: "Boss Jiang, please come and stay in Qiongchang Mountain for a few days. If this female ghost comes again, I will capture her and send her away."
Jiang Liying and Liu Tongyun slept together all night. On the morning of the next day, they came to Qiongchang Mountain with Lin Xiaodong.
At night, Lin Xiaodong was sitting quietly in his room when he heard Jiang Liying calling softly from outside the door: "Director Lin, are you asleep?"
Lin Xiaodong came to open the door.
Jiang Liying's face was slightly red, she glanced up, and then quickly lowered her head.
Lin Xiaodong said: "I only meditate, not sleep."
Jiang Liying nodded: "I can't sleep, so I want to talk to Taoist Lin."
Lin Xiaodong invited Jiang Liying in, lit a candle, and sat across from each other.
Jiang Liying said: "Thank you for saving me last night. If it weren't for you, I would have been strangled to death by that female ghost."
Lin Xiaodong said: "It is really a critical situation to break into Boss Jiang's residence rashly."
Jiang Liying thought of what happened last night and tightened her clothes.
Jiang Liying asked: "Who is this female ghost and why is she pestering me?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I didn't even talk to her last night, so I don't know either."
Jiang Liying lowered her head and said, "Didn't Director Lin ask me last night why I'm not married yet?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I take the liberty to ask, but please don't be offended."
Jiang Liying sighed: "I can't get married because of my bad reputation."
Lin Xiaodong blinked: "What does Boss Jiang mean?"
Jiang Liying said: "I am obviously in the inn business, but there are always rumors that I am a prostitute."
Lin Xiaodong looked at Jiang Liying up and down: "Boss Jiang runs such a big inn, so I guess it's not like this."
Jiang Liying said: "I am obviously an innocent woman, but there are always such rumors. I didn't bother to explain it at first, but later, even if I explained it, no one believed it."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Those who are clean will be clean themselves, so why bother with rumors."
Jiang Liying shook her head: "I have nothing, but the matchmaker doesn't think so. Over and over again, I am already over thirty this year, but I still don't have a marriage."
