Chapter 170 A ghost visits in the middle of the night
It was nearly three o'clock when I left here.
Wu Nvxia led the horse and held a lantern. She was very vigilant. She often looked left and right, fearing that hidden arrows would appear in the grass at night, or that there might be someone following behind her.
But nothing happened until I walked back to the village.
"It's okay!"
The woman seemed a little surprised.
"The heroine is alert."
"It's not that I'm vigilant, it's just that something is wrong today."
"What's wrong?"
"When I was walking in the ghost market today, I noticed several cryptic eyes looking back and forth at me, my divine horse, you, behind you, and Empress Sanhua. They were hidden deep but they couldn't be hidden from me. Most of them were hidden.
It was the Jianghu who survived Beiqin Mountain who passed the news over and told us our characteristics." Wu Nuxia paused as she spoke, "I thought they were coming to find us, but now that I think about it, most of those Jianghu
News of people's tragic conditions and deaths have also spread, and these people dare not act rashly."
After hearing this, the Taoist thought: "Wouldn't the heroine be in trouble when she goes out of the city in the future?"
"Don't think too much about it."
Wu Nuxia walked to the door of the thatched shop, waved her hand, and explained casually: "I rarely ride a horse when I go out of the city. They don't recognize me, and I don't pay attention to these little bastards."
She paused as she spoke:
"What's more, I don't go out of the city every day. Most of the time, I'm not alone when I go out. No one dares to trouble me. You'd better worry about yourself and don't get sniped or robbed."
"That's good."
Only then did the Taoist feel relieved.
The group of people had arrived at the entrance of Maodian.
The thatched shop was simple and simple, with a wooden fence outside and a yard inside.
"There is an adult."
The little girl approached the fence and peered through the crack.
The Taoist man and the woman looked over, but they could only see darkness inside. When they raised the lantern, they could only illuminate a small area in front of them.
Instead, footsteps quickly came from inside.
This can be heard.
A dark figure walked out quickly, walked into the faint light of the lantern, and opened the door for them.
She is a rural woman.
"I'm home……"
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It's not hard..."
A group of people walked into the courtyard.
The woman quickly took the horse and tied it.
Song You lives in the hut on the left, and Wu Nuxia is next to him. There are only a few such huts in the yard, but at this time, other horses have parked here. They should be other residents who are better than them.
Earlier.
This woman is the mother of the two siblings whom I met during the day. We met at dinner tonight and heard that the man in the family was serving as a soldier in the north, leaving the three of them living at home with the old man.
There are everyone in the ghost market, and there are countless sneaky people. Whenever a customer brings a horse, as long as he stays in the shop, the shopkeeper will guard him all night.
What you earn is hard-earned money.
Song You didn't say anything. He went back to his room to wash up, put away his paintings and luggage, and then sat cross-legged on the bed. Taking advantage of the fact that the day was not over yet and the summer solstice had just passed, he continued to appreciate the spirit of the season.
The cat transformed into its original form and nestled next to him.
The spiritual power of the summer solstice is the solstice of yang. Although Sanhua Empress is a monster, fellow practitioners of yin and yang can also benefit from it.
…
Halfway through the long night, a ghost came to visit.
This ghost looked like a slender scholar with a face as pale as paper. He was half floating and half walking. He aimed at several thatched shops in the west of the village and came straight over to check them out one by one.
The first house was a few scattered huts. The scholar ghost looked at them one by one from left to right. There were all kinds of people living there, but none of them had their own goals. The second house was a courtyard, and the walls of the courtyard were made of small
There were piles of gravel. He touched the ground lightly with his toes, then floated over the fence and entered the yard, still checking each one.
There are many businessmen living in this house. Judging from the appearance of their luggage, they must have brought a lot of money.
Although money is heavy to a ghost, it is not impossible for him to carry it. Although these businessmen put their bags under their heads and hug them in their arms, it is not impossible for him to take them out based on his ability.
But today I have a more important goal.
The third thatched shop was still a converted thatched cottage in the countryside. It also had a yard, but it was made of bamboo fence, and the gate was also a wooden fence. The scholar ghost didn't even have to jump, he just walked over and squeezed, and his body squeezed through the gap in the fence.
Go over and walk into the courtyard.
Still looking at each room.
While watching, he habitually murmured in a low voice.
The first room was occupied by a few Jianghu people. The three of them slept together. Their yang energy was very strong and their blood energy was strong. Ordinary little devils might not be able to get close to her at all.
"Oh, three people live in one room..."
The scholar ghost muttered and walked towards the second house.
"Oh, my yang energy is so weak, and at such an old age, I'm afraid if I'm lucky in two years, I'll be able to come to me..."
He walked towards the third room with a smile.
The scholar ghost leaned close to the wall, peered through the window with one eye.
"Huh!"
This time I was a little surprised.
There is a woman lying in the room, but her vitality is much stronger than the three strong martial arts warriors in the first room combined. She is probably the most skilled martial artist in the martial arts world. Ghosts are not afraid of martial arts warriors like him.
Such a virtuous person would not be afraid, but this person was too energetic, and today was the summer solstice, so the scholar ghost did not dare to provoke her, so he quickly looked away, closed his mouth and walked away.
It's not that she's afraid of not being able to defeat her, but it's mainly that the martial artist is keen, and if he watches her for a long time, he's afraid of waking her up and affecting his ability to steal the treasure.
Go to the fourth room and get close to the window.
Inside was a Taoist priest, sitting cross-legged, not sure whether he was asleep or not. There was a cat sitting next to him, with his ears erect, but he was not sure whether he was asleep or not.
Anyway, it was quiet in the room.
Turning his eyes again, there was a suitcase on the bed, a long box wrapped in oilcloth.
This is the box!
"..."
The scholar ghost took a deep breath.
In fact, he didn't know what was in the box. It was just that he was a thief during his lifetime and died because of theft. I don't know if he turned into a ghost because of his obsession with stealing. In short, after turning into a ghost, he also loved stealing very much and gradually evolved.
He showed quite a bit of skill.
Just like a treasure in the world, he knows its value at a glance. Just like when he walks at night, even the most sensitive dog can hardly detect his arrival, and sometimes even walks in front of the temple statue.
Tonight, I was wandering in the ghost market, looking for my target, and I saw this Taoist carrying a long box. I felt that the Taoism in the box was infinite and mysterious, and I was extremely surprised.
Later, when I inquired about it, I learned some news from Jianghu people, and I felt scared and excited at the same time.
Finally, the excitement overcame the fear, so I followed him.
Following from a distance, he watched them arrive here, and kept patiently until this time, when the person was sleeping the most deeply. Even if this person was an expert in Taoism, he was somewhat sure.
The remaining few points are exciting.
It's exciting! It's exciting!
I haven’t seen this excitement for a long time...
Scholar Ghost opened one eye and glanced at the door for a while. He felt something strange and couldn't explain the reason. However, when he saw that neither the Taoist nor the cat moved, time gradually passed and dawn was getting closer. He did not dare to delay and bit him.
Gritting his teeth, he made up his mind.
"..."
Silently, the entire ghost turned into a wisp of smoke and went directly through the window.
"brush!"
The curled up calico cat instantly raised its head and stared directly at the wisp of blue smoke.
The blue smoke fell to the ground and turned into a human form.
Only when the scholar ghost got in did he realize something was wrong——
The yang energy in this room is so strong!
It was even a bit richer than today's noon, but it didn't leak out at all.
The whole room was filled with the most powerful spiritual power. For the ghosts and ghosts, it was undoubtedly like purgatory. Entering it was like a normal person walking into a furnace.
"!!"
The scholar ghost's face suddenly distorted, and his whole body curled up. He wanted to cry out in pain, but he did not dare to make a sound.
Glancing forward, I met the calico cat's eyes.
The reflection of the cat's eyes at night is really scary.
"not good!"
The scholar ghost said to himself, turned around and wanted to run away.
But he found that he couldn't move.
Taking another look, the Taoist also opened his eyes.
Those eyes were extremely calm.
"call……"
The oil lamp in the room lit up, filling the entire room with light.
In this room full of yang energy, the scholar ghost seems to feel the feeling of being burned by the scorching sun when he first became a ghost, ignorant and ignorant, and even more painful.
But he couldn't move, so he had to bite the bullet and look at the Taoist in front of him, almost gritting his teeth and saying:
"Master Immortal, spare your life..."
Before the Taoist could say anything, the calico cat next to him stood up, shook his head, stared at him curiously, and murmured: "Why did you come to our house? Do you want to steal our money?"
"no offense……"
"No offense intended~"
The scholar ghost was really suffering, but the calico cat imitated his tone of voice and spoke in a moment of pain and anger.
The Taoist lowered his head and touched the cat's tail, then looked up at him and finally said:
"I don't know why you are here?"
"I'm just passing by..."
"..."
After hearing this, the Taoist pursed his lips, turned to the cat next to him and said, "Miss Sanhua, he lied to us."
"!"
The calico cat's expression suddenly froze. He raised his head and looked at the Taoist. After confirmation, when he turned his head again, he already had a somewhat sinister look. He said to the kid:
"call……"
Exhale and become fire.
"ah!"
Even though he was only stung once, the kid also cried out in pain.
"Sanhua Empress has achieved great success in cultivation, and the flames she breathes are somewhat spiritual." The Taoist praised her, then looked at the scholar ghost and asked again, "Can you tell me now? Why are you here?"
"Master Immortal, have mercy on me..."
The scholar ghost endured the pain and said: "I often hang out in the ghost market, and tonight I saw the immortal master's luggage on his back with a mysterious charm, so I wanted to steal it..."
After he finished speaking, he immediately added: "I ask the Immortal Master to remember that this is my first offender, and I will keep you around for the next life!"
"!"
The calico cat's eyes suddenly condensed.
Sure enough, he came to steal something.
What's the difference between that and a mouse?
only……
The calico cat was just a little angry, but suddenly he became a little confused. He stared at the scholar ghost and tilted his head: "Why do you talk when you steal things?"
"..."
It turned out that she caught him talking.
The scholar ghost's face was filled with excitement for a moment. He felt regretful, ashamed, and a little embarrassed. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and replied: "This is a habit I had before my next life. After I die and become a ghost, I can't change it no matter what."
I have the habit of talking to myself while stealing..."
"oh……"
"It's quite magical."
"Please forgive the lives of the Immortal Master and the Cat Immortal!"
"!"
A cat fairy's call makes the cat feel very happy.
However, she was in a happy mood, so she didn't say anything and only turned to look at the Taoist.
