"Master, Lu Bo said that there is a scholar outside the door looking for you, saying that he is your friend, master."
Just when Li Xiuyuan was practicing calligraphy in a comfortable room, Du Chunhua walked in softly and whispered.
"The scholar is looking for me? Which scholar?" Li Xiuyuan put down the ink pen in his hand and asked curiously.
Du Chunhua said: "It's a scholar named Zhu Yu."
"Is it him?" Li Xiuyuan frowned immediately.
This Zhu Yu did have some friendship with him. He met him when he came to the city to cross the river that day.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "I know, go ask Zhu Yu to wait for me in the lobby, I will be here soon."
Since someone comes to visit you, you have to accept them, even if it is just a casual relationship or a superficial friendship. This is the way of hospitality, which is especially important in this era.
When Li Xiuyuan came to the lobby, he saw a haggard, thin, and pale scholar coughing lightly while sitting on a chair and sipping tea. He looked as if he had been ill for a long time and had no energy.
God is gone.
"Brother Zhu, why have you become so haggard after not seeing you for just five or six days?" Li Xiuyuan took a look and said in surprise.
With such a look on his face, if he hadn't seen him still moving, he would have suspected that Zhu Yu was already a corpse.
When Zhu Yu saw Li Xiuyuan's strong figure and striding forward, he couldn't help showing a bit of envy. He hurriedly pushed himself up, stood up and cupped his hands, and said without tears: "Brother Li, please save me, otherwise this continues.
My destiny will soon be determined."
After saying that, he bowed deeply again, but because he was so thin, he almost fell to the ground even when he bent down to bow.
"What happened?"
Li Xiuyuan took a quick step, supported him, and asked him to sit down.
Zhu Yu sighed and said, "I regret not listening to what Brother Li said. Didn't our group capsize the boat that day and return together at night?"
"Yes, there is such a thing." Li Xiuyuan nodded.:
Zhu Yu said: "But before we entered the city, we encountered a market. I wonder if Brother Li still remembers it."
"I have this impression. The market appeared in the wilderness. I thought it was weird and suspected it was a ghost market, so I didn't go. I also advised you not to go. What's the matter? Brother Zhu, could it be that you have encountered something evil?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
.
Zhu Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Li, you are right. It is indeed not a night market, it is really a ghost market. I didn't realize it at first, but later I got suspicious and asked people in the city.
Brother Li, what do you think? There is no night market there at all. That area used to be a mass grave. The older generation of people in the city all know it. It’s ridiculous that we always thought it was a night market. It’s really too much.
Confused."
"Now that you know it, just don't go there in the future." Li Xiuyuan said.
He also guessed that Zhu Yu encountered a ghost, but with this lesson, he would be able to remember better in the future.
"Brother Li is absolutely right. I did not go to the ghost market yesterday, but...but..." Zhu Yu's eyes flashed, and it was hard to say anything.
"But what? Do you still want to hide it from me now?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"Brother Li, let me tell you the truth. On the first day we entered the ghost market, several other brothers and I were deceived by female ghosts. In the past few days, we have been hanging out with female ghosts every night...
...**." At this point, Zhu Yu's pale face turned red.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled: "I can see that you have chest tightness and shortness of breath, sluggish steps, and pale face. This is a sign that you have lost too much energy and yang energy. However, you can't blame the female ghost for confusing you. The ghost is gluttonous.
It is normal for people to have yang energy, but if you can stick to yourselves and not be tempted by the female ghost, the female ghost will not let you lose your essence and yang energy."
"Since Brother Zhu, you already know that the woman you meet every night is a female ghost, you should avoid her from today on, stop seeing her, and then slowly adjust your body and take this exam properly.
yes."
"Why don't I think so?"
Zhu Yu sighed again and said: "But it's not that I couldn't make up my mind, it's that I was entangled by that female ghost. I didn't go to the ghost market again last night, but when I fell asleep at night, I made a
A ridiculous dream. In the dream, I was still living happily with that beautiful female ghost, but when I woke up...when I woke up, I was still leaking."
At this point, he was filled with shame, and then he looked at Li Xiuyuan with hope and said: "Brother Li, please save me. Wang Ping said that brother Li, you have the ability to catch ghosts and eliminate demons, so today I am shameless and
Please Brother Li, please save me from the sea of suffering."
"It seems that the female ghost is addicted to absorbing your essence and yang energy. She is not going to let you go. If you avoid her, the female ghost will still come to your door." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Brother Li, look, should I hide in a temple for a while and come back when the exam starts?" Zhu Yu said, "I heard that there is a very famous Lanruo Temple more than ten miles away from this city. I will go there.
Is there any use in hiding?"
Li Xiuyuan said: "Hiding is not an option. Since you came to visit me and asked me for help, how could I refuse to save you? You don't need to go to Lanruo Temple. You can stay in my house tonight to see that woman."
Will a ghost appear? If so, I will help you dissuade the female ghost."
"Thank you so much, Brother Li." Zhu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and then hurriedly stood up and thanked him.
"You're welcome. There is a Buddhist saying that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Human life is a matter of great importance. How could I refuse?" Li Xiuyuan said.
After arranging for Zhu Yu to return to the guest room, he couldn't help but smile again.
This Zhu Yu was quite smart. After he woke up, he knew to ask himself for help. If he went to find someone else, it would take a while and he might have been killed by the female ghost.
When Wang Ping arrived, he was lucky. He saw the Painted Skin Monster he had killed before, so he chose to believe in the existence of his own ghost market and did not go to the market.
Otherwise, the outcome will probably be no better than that of Zhu Yu.
"I don't know what happened to the other fellow scholars? They probably just lost some energy and yang energy. But then again, the female ghost who pestered Zhu Yu killed one of them in just five or six days.
It's a bit too much to do it like this." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.
Generally speaking, when a female ghost entangles a scholar, she intends to absorb the yang energy, and she does it slowly. It will take a month or half a month before she can see it.
But now, the female ghost Zhu Yu encountered was different. Her methods were much more ruthless, and she almost sucked people dry in just a few days.
Before I knew it, it was already dark.
Zhu Yu, who was sleeping in the guest room, was too tired these days. He fell on the bed and fell asleep not long after.
But while he was asleep, a gust of wind suddenly blew from outside the door. The door that had been bolted immediately slammed down, and the door was blown directly by the gust of wind.
"Woooo~!"
The dark wind blew, and the door swung and made a sound. Then the dark wind blew towards Zhu Yu who was on the bed.
Zhu Yu, who was sleeping soundly, woke up immediately with this blow.
Opening his eyes drowsily, he suddenly saw a beautiful young woman wearing beautiful clothes appearing next to the bed.
"Ah~!"
Immediately, Zhu Yu was startled, so frightened that he immediately woke up and hurriedly stepped back, trembling: "Don't come over, don't come over."
"The husband is really ruthless. He was very affectionate with the Nu family a few days ago. Why is it that today when he sees the Nu family, he is afraid to avoid him. People often say that a husband and wife can be kind to each other for a hundred days. Instead of caring about the kindness, the husband started to hide away.
The slave family has done something wrong. Please tell me what the slave family has done wrong. Isn’t it enough for the slave family to correct it?"
This beautiful young woman suddenly appeared and said with a pitiful look.
"You, you are a ghost and I am a human being. Stop pestering me. Is that okay if I am wrong?" Zhu Yu's originally pale face became even paler with fright.
"Since the husband doesn't say anything, I have no choice but to continue serving the husband as an apology." The beautiful young woman said and began to untie her clothes.
Zhu Yu now wants to die.
He was very fond of this beautiful woman a few days ago, but after these few days, the tough man couldn't stand her entanglement, otherwise he wouldn't have realized immediately that this woman was a ghost and not a human being.
"You, please don't seek my affection anymore. I'm really at my wits end. If I continue like this, I will die." Zhu Yu begged for mercy.
"That would be better. If the husband dies, then the slave family and the husband will become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks, and then they can be together day and night." The beautiful young woman said happily, and walked to the couch after speaking.
At this time, Zhu Yu was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "Brother Li, Brother Li, come and save me, the female ghost is here again."
"Sir, stop shouting, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold." The beautiful young woman blew lightly, and immediately the candles in the room were extinguished and the door was closed.
"Brother Li, where are you? If you don't show up, I will really die on the bed." Zhu Yu shouted.
"Haha, brother Zhu, don't panic. Isn't there a saying that it's cool to be a ghost under the peonies?"
When Li Xiuyuan heard his voice, he laughed immediately while he was meditating and practicing. He heard the voice and came over: "The female ghost who is pestering you must be pretty. I think you should talk to her and see if she is willing to marry you.
If she agrees to your promise, just marry a ghost wife, and she will definitely be embarrassed to harm you if she becomes your wife."
"Touch~!"
With a kick, the tenant opened it. When Li Xiuyuan saw clearly the situation inside the house, he was stunned again.
"Sorry, I take back what I said before. I didn't expect that Brother Zhu, your taste is so unique. I thought it was a good-looking female ghost that was pestering you, but I didn't expect it was a male ghost. This picture is so beautiful that I was a little afraid.
Watched it."
He saw a male ghost clinging to Zhu Yu's side like a woman, as if flirting, which made him almost nauseous.
terrible.
It's really terrible.
"Wha, what, a male ghost?" Zhu Yu was dumbfounded for a moment and looked at the pretty young woman next to him.
"Who are you and why can you see through my changes?"
The beautiful young woman looked at Li Xiuyuan with her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief, but her tone at this time was a rough man's voice.
