Chapter 96 Smell the fragrance and know the female ghost
After finishing the meal while talking and laughing, Yu Sheng turned around and took a look.
The little old man still had a jar of wine and a plate of pork head, chewing it with relish.
Seeing Yu Sheng looking at him, the little old man said: "This pig's head is delicious, little shopkeeper, your inn should be opened in the city."
Yu Sheng waved his hand, "It's almost closing, please hurry up."
In fact, the god of agriculture is coming soon.
Now for the rest of my life, I have become friends with the God of Agriculture, and I have to have a few drinks at night every once in a while.
The little old man stuffed the pork head into his mouth and said, "It's closing time. I'll help you catch the ghost and pay for the hotel and food."
"You are so beautiful." He asked Bai Xingxin to drag the little old man into the house to eat. "Remember to collect the money for the meal."
When the little old man heard this, he quickly put the bulging money bag on the table into his arms and said, "Let's tie it together when we leave."
He and Bai Gaoxing went upstairs.
"Arrange in the room next to the coconut cake." Yu Sheng called from behind.
Ye Zigao, who was clearing away the dishes, raised his head when he heard this and said displeasedly: "What are you doing next to my room?"
"Looking at how sneaky he is, he might be causing trouble. You should keep an eye on him at night and don't let him run around." Yu Sheng said.
"That should be next to Bai Gaoxing." Ye Zigao said reluctantly.
"I've seen that female ghost before. She was dressed in red and was as beautiful as a flower..."
Ye Zi said sternly: "Honor, as a clerk, it is my unshirkable responsibility to maintain the inn in good condition. Just take care of it."
He put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, turned around and ran upstairs.
Yu Sheng greeted from below, "Put away the bowls first."
Ye Zigao ignored him and he quickly disappeared around the corner.
For the rest of my life, I took my eyes back and looked at wealth and hardship.
Fu Nan put away the silver chopsticks and said, "I have an injury on my leg, so I can't touch my hands with water."
"Don't you wash your chopsticks?"
Fu Nan nodded, "It doesn't matter."
"Even if you are not poisoned, you will still get sick and die." Yu Sheng said to him and focused on Cao'er.
Without waiting for Cao'er to refuse, Yu Sheng rejected her, "You'd better forget it. I can't even wash it with you."
Cao'er wanted to throw the ball and bite him to death, or kick him to death.
Yu Sheng looked at Aunt Qing again, but Aunt Qing glared at her and said hurriedly: "I don't dare to bother my little aunt, so I'll do it myself."
He had just put away the dishes and chopsticks when Ye Zigao went downstairs again and said, "Shopkeeper, where have you seen that girl?"
Yu Sheng remembered that when he was looking for his grandson, he saw a red light flashing in a room, so he pointed to that room.
"It's true. No wonder the old man wanted to live in that room." Ye Zigao ran upstairs again.
Yu Sheng washed the dishes and added grass to the old buffalo. When he saw that Maomao's warm nest was empty, he asked, "Why doesn't it come back?"
Aunt Qing said: "Make trouble."
She turned around and went upstairs too, leaving Yu Sheng to clean the table alone.
He closed the door panel, leaving only half of the door open. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw the God of Agriculture walking in.
What surprised Yu Sheng was that there was a middle-aged man following behind the God of Agriculture.
He was wearing a short green shirt, dressed as a servant, and his face was pale and sickly, as if he had been soaked in water for a long time.
"Who is this?" Yu Sheng asked the God of Agriculture.
The God of Agriculture said: "Wang Wulang, the river god of a mountain village outside the Demon City on the upper reaches of the river in front of the town."
It's quite a mouthful.
Without waiting for Yu Sheng to ask further questions, the God of Agriculture said again: "He is also a ghost and god, but he is stronger than me, and there are still people who worship him."
Wang Wulang smiled bitterly, "No matter how strong you are, you will be kicked out."
"Drive them out?" Yu Sheng put the pork head meat and fried vegetables on the counter, then turned around to get a jar of wine.
The God of Agriculture fell for Wang Wulang, "The big demon in the demon city dispersed the people in the village, cut off the river, and drove him out of the temple."
"No wonder the river is getting shallower and shallower. I think this grandson is acting like a monster." Yu Sheng said.
"What's he doing by blocking the river?" Yu Sheng asked again.
Wang Wulang shook his head, he didn't know either.
They drank a few more drinks and gradually talked about the whole story of Wang Wulang becoming a ghost.
It took about a hundred years for Wang Wulang to become a ghost.
He was originally a servant of a wealthy family in Demon City. When he was crossing a river on errands in a mountain village, he lost his footing and fell into the water and drowned.
As mentioned in the previous article, all water ghosts must be replaced by someone before they can enter reincarnation.
But from the beginning, Wang Wulang would rather sink into the bottom of the water forever than drown others in search of mercy.
Not only that, when someone lost his footing and fell into the water, he secretly rescued him in the water. Therefore, he was loved by the people in the mountain village, who built a shrine for him and respected him as the god of the river.
The God of Agriculture patted Wang Wulang and said, "What a good man."
I will toast him with a glass of wine for the rest of my life.
The Great Wilderness is different from the ghost world known in the rest of my previous life.
In the stories of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio in his previous life, after Wang Wulang was moved by his good deeds, he still had a chance to escape the sea of suffering and become the god of a land.
There is only the cold heaven in the wilderness. If the water ghost does not ask for help, he will never be reincarnated.
Of course, it is possible to practice ghost power and jump out of the Three Realms and no longer be in the Five Elements, but that is not easy.
Becoming a ghost or god is also a way to rely on the power of faith.
But now, not to mention that the power of faith in the small mountain village is too weak, even the small mountain village no longer exists.
When the power of faith is exhausted, Wang Wulang may be worse than the three water ghost sisters who lingered in the lake for the rest of their lives.
"Xiaoyu'er's wine may make you feel better," said the God of Agriculture.
He has personally experienced that spiritual power is very helpful in maintaining the power of ghosts and gods.
After getting drunk, the God of Agriculture and the monk Wang Wulang went back together.
Yu Sheng climbed up the last door panel, cleared the counter, turned off the lights and went upstairs.
He held a bead in his hand, and the soft white light illuminated the surrounding area.
Gouzi accompanies him, but the black cat, Sheriff and brother have long gone to who knows where.
The little white fox built himself a beautiful and comfortable nest in the backyard to prevent anything from stealing his chickens, ducks and geese at night.
When he entered the room to sleep, Yu Sheng was a little worried. He pointed to Gouzi's room where the little old man was.
Gouzi understood, and after Yu Sheng closed the door and went to sleep, he squatted in front of the door of the little old man's room.
It was late at night, and Yu Sheng quickly fell into a deep sleep until he was awakened by a scream from outside.
"Hehe." Yu Sheng smiled mischievously, turned over and went back to sleep.
The inn only had guests who were recovering from their injuries, so I didn't have to prepare meals for the guests who were on their way for the rest of my life, so I slept a lot.
After he washed up, he helped Aunt Qing twist her black hair before going downstairs and saw Ye Zigao sitting at the long table chatting animatedly with the little old man.
"The hanged ghost has a bad breath smell, and there is some incense in it. That's a female ghost."
"In the water ghost..." the little old man paused, "the water ghost smells like waterweed."
"Nonsense." Yu Sheng added casually, "Does it smell like fish?"
"It's not impossible." The little old man turned around and saw Yu Sheng and complained: "Little shopkeeper, you were not honest last night."
"Why am I not authentic?" Yu Sheng pretended to be confused.
The little old man pointed at the dog biting its tail at Yu Sheng's feet, "The little old man woke up late last night and almost peed his pants."
Ye Zigao said, "Hey," Zhi Le said, "Come on, why don't you go pee with a money sword?"
The little old man argued to himself, "I'm afraid of meeting unclean things."
Yu Sheng pointed to the well in the backyard, "If you really want to catch ghosts, why not help me see what's in the well."
The little old man stood up and said, "I charge a lot of money to catch ghosts, but if I give you a favor today, it's worth the price of the wine."
