Hearing Wang Xu's smiling question, the female ghost retreated with a look of unwillingness to have her good deed ruined.
Wang Xu didn't chase her. He was not a Taoist priest who conquered demons. The female ghost had nothing to do with him. If he hadn't bumped into her along the way, he wouldn't have even looked at her.
This is not indifference, but to him, the so-called ghosts are just the stories on the secret fold.
Within a thousand miles of Fuzhou, there are twenty to thirty incidents of ghosts injuring people every day. It is not normal for more than a dozen people to die on any given day.
This is still known, but even more people don't know. Even if Wang Xu has three heads and six arms, he can't protect Fuzhou's thousands of miles.
So to him, the people killed by ghosts are just numbers on a secret book, just like when we see another disaster somewhere on the news broadcast.
As long as it is not related to one's own vital interests, who would take it to heart other than sighing with emotion? If there were such a sad person, I am afraid that someone like Lin Daiyu would have been like Lin Daiyu, and the sadness flowed back into the river, and he coughed up blood and died.
.
"Help, help!"
"No, is there another water ghost causing trouble?"
Hearing the cry for help again, Wang Xu no longer wanted to care. Those who deserved to live would not die, and those who deserved to die would not live. People who can be found by water ghosts are not lucky enough to be weak, and their fate is such that they can interfere in everything.
He doesn't have to do anything else.
"Hey, that's not right!"
Just when Wang Xu was about to give up, he suddenly heard the ticking sound getting louder, as if he was inside it.
Moreover, this voice calling for help sounded so familiar to him, as if
"It sounds like Ning Caichen's voice!"
Wang Xu's eyes lit up. His voice really sounded like Ning Caichen's. Could it be this kid?
A few days ago, Wang Xu took the secret book from King Yan's tomb, sealed the tomb, and parted ways with Ye Zhiqiu.
At the same time, the scholar Ning Caichen also parted ways. I remember that Ning Caichen said at that time that after collecting accounts from other places in a few days, he would go to Jubaozhai to send money.
The main store of Jubaozhai is in Fuzhou City. Ning Caichen told Wang Xu at that time that he wanted to see him when he went to Fuzhou City.
"Go over and have a look!"
Wang Xu flew up and headed straight for the direction from which the sound came.
Several hundred meters away, he looked down from the air and saw a scholar carrying a book basket, running along the river bank in the direction of the city, led by a female ghost in white.
When he saw the scholar and the female ghost, Wang Xu immediately laughed. The scholar was the pretty boy Ning Caichen, and the female ghost was Nie Xiaoqian. He didn't expect that they were so destined to meet each other while walking in the wilderness.
"bump into?"
The smile on Wang Xu's face disappeared. It was a coincidence that he met the drowning scholar in the barren mountains and wild mountains, but how could he meet Ning Caichen.
If the drowning scholar was fascinated by the water ghost, it would be excusable to meet him by the river, but the chance of meeting Ning Caichen is too small.
Coupled with the trumpet sound that led him out, Wang Xu instinctively realized that maybe meeting Ning Caichen was not a coincidence, but someone was setting up a trap.
"Ning Caichen!"
Wang Xu shouted loudly, fell from the sky, and landed steadily in front of Ning Caichen.
Ning Caichen was running for his life when he suddenly saw Wang Xu blocking the road. He was so frightened that he rolled over and fell to the ground.
"Ah, it's you, you scared me to death!" Ning Caichen looked up and breathed a deep sigh of relief when he saw that it was Wang Xu.
Nie Xiaoqian was flying in mid-air, and at the same time she came down from the sky, and asked in a panic: "Sir, are you here to save us?"
"Save you, what happened?" Wang Xu frowned slightly, feeling that he was close to the truth.
Nie Xiaoqian looked panicked and said with a mournful face: "A bearded man came from Lanruo Temple and kicked me and Ning Caichen out. Originally, I wanted to follow Caichen and move to the state city. Whoever wants to walk in the middle of the road will just
Encountered the wedding party of the old demon from Montenegro!"
"Yes, when Grandma Shu was still alive, she betrothed Xiaoqian to the old demon Heishan. I thought that once grandma Shu died, the old demon Heishan would not come to marry Xiaoqian, but I didn't expect that he would still be evil!" Ning Caichen!
He also opened his mouth and told what happened.
It turned out that after Wang Xu left, Ning Caichen and Xiaoqian had a private life-long relationship. Even if Nie Xiaoqian was a ghost, he did not dislike it.
Unfortunately, it didn't last long. When the two of them were spending time in front of each other, a bearded man named Yan Chixia suddenly ran up and wanted to kill Xiaoqian. After Ning Caichen stopped her unwillingly, he killed the two of them in a rage.
Everyone was driven out.
Ning Caichen originally thought that since Lanruo Temple could no longer live in it, he might as well go back to the city to settle the account.
After paying Jubaozhai's account, he still had dozens of taels of silver left, enough for him and Xiaoqian to live together.
In the end, even after all calculations, Grandma Shu was dead, and the old Black Mountain demon still remembered Xiaoqian.
As soon as it gets dark, there are little ghosts carrying a sedan chair to marry Xiaoqian.
Although Xiaoqian beat the little devil away, she also knew how powerful the old Black Mountain monster was, so she quickly took Ning Caichen on a night trip, hoping to go to the prefectural city to avoid trouble.
Tick-tick-tick, tick-tick-tick
While I was talking, the sound of gongs and drums got closer and closer, as if a procession to welcome the bride was coming.
Hearing the sound of the trumpet, Nie Xiaoqian's face changed drastically, and she said tremblingly: "No, the wedding team has arrived!"
"Welcoming team!"
Wang Xu felt a chill in his heart. The ticking sound that led him out seemed to be caused by the old demon from Montenegro.
What does this old demon want to do? Isn't it enough to take Xiaoqian away? Does he also want to lure him out to avenge Grandma Shu?
That day, he was not the only one who surrounded and killed Grandma Shu. Ye Zhiqiu was also there to help. Ye Zhiqiu
boom!!
A roar interrupted Wang Xu's thinking.
As soon as he saw it, the ground exploded, and a young man with a slightly obscene smile emerged from the ground. As soon as he came out, he roared: "Banana, you Bala, I'm already here, come out if you can!"
"Ye Zhiqiu?"
Ning Caichen exclaimed and said happily: "You are such friends. Knowing that I was in trouble, you all came to save me. I am so happy!"
"Scholar!" Ye Zhiqiu was also stunned for a moment. When he looked back, he saw that Wang Xu was also there, and his expression changed instantly: "What, you are all here?"
Ning Caichen, Nie Xiaoqian, Ye Zhiqiu, Wang Xu.
Of the four people present, two were the masterminds who killed Grandma Shu, one was the concubine of the old demon of Montenegro, and the other was the cuckold of the old demon of Montenegro. All of them were related to the old demon of Montenegro.
Ye Zhiqiu is not a fool. Others were lured over by the sound of the suona from hundreds of miles away.
When I came over to take a look, I found that everyone was there. I didn't even think that something was wrong, so I bought a piece of tofu and killed him.
Tick-tick, tick-tock
The suona was playing loudly, and accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, a huge wedding team slowly walked out of the river under the moonlight.
At a glance, there are white-faced ghosts blowing trumpets, green-robed ghosts beating gongs, red-gill ghosts carrying sedans, and big-headed ghosts carrying betrothal gifts. There are hundreds of ghosts in the wedding procession alone.
These ghosts came out of the river, stepped on the water, and walked forward whistling.
For a moment, the ghost energy was billowing, black smoke was lingering, and the sharp ghost laughter was mixed with ghost cries, which made people shudder when they heard it.
"Caichen!"
Seeing the wedding team of the old demon from Montenegro coming, Nie Xiaoqian was trembling and held Ning Caichen's hand tightly.
Ning Caichen was also scared, but he still held on and begged Wang Xu and Ye Zhiqiu: "Two heroes, please help me one more time. I can't live without Xiaoqian, please."
"This is not just your business anymore!"
With fear in his eyes, Ye Zhiqiu glanced at the approaching wedding team and said to Wang Xu, "I'm afraid they are here to see us too."
Wang Xu didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
If the old demon from Montenegro just wanted to take Nie Xiaoqian away, there was no need to use the suona to lure them over. Since he did this, it meant that his target was not just Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen.
It seemed that the relationship between Grandma Shu and the old demon of Black Mountain was more harmonious than he imagined, otherwise the old demon of Black Mountain, the ghost king, would not take the risk of offending the imperial court and lure him out.
"Old demon of Montenegro, what do you want?"
Wang Xu took a step forward and shouted to the welcoming team.
In the procession to welcome the bride, there were two sedans, one red was obviously prepared for Nie Xiaoqian, and the other was black, probably with the old demon from Montenegro sitting there.
"How's it going? Humph, Grandma Shu is my spokesperson in the world. You ruined my life and asked me how I'm doing?"
A thick, angry voice came from the black sedan, so shocking that Ning Caichen and Ye Zhiqiu had to cover their ears before they dared to listen.
Wang Xu secretly thought that something was not right. Looking at the attitude of the old demon from Montenegro, he knew that things would be difficult to resolve today.
