Jiang Chaoge was indeed shocked by the appearance of the mountain ghost.
It's ethereal yet not lacking in beauty, and it's desolate yet sentimental. It's so beautiful that it makes people feel a little unreal.
It turns out that there are beautiful ghosts in the world.
Inexplicably, he felt that the profession of undead knight might be good too.
Of course, if there is a chance to be a human, who would want to be a ghost forever? He still wants to become a ghost fairy and regain his physical body. After all, Ji Ruxue is more beautiful than this mountain ghost.
"Wait a minute, why do I think of Ji Ruxue? I, Jiang, obviously have no interest in women!"
Jiang Chaoge quickly calmed down.
Because, the mountain ghost was looking at him with a strange look: "Can you see me?"
These words sounded familiar, but don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly see you? Jiang Chaoge immediately took out the book from his arms and pretended to sit down and read.
"A beautiful young man is actually a scholar?"
The mountain ghost seemed to be interested and came closer.
She supported her face with both hands and squatted in front of Jiang Chaoge in a kneeling posture.
Long hair like a waterfall fell down on her chest. At such a close distance, Jiang Chaoge could even smell a faint floral fragrance emanating from the mountain ghost.
Then, the mountain ghost began to read the contents of the book borrowed from the singer Jiang Chao.
"The journey of the great road means that the world is for the common good. Select the worthy and capable, be trustworthy and cultivate harmony..."
Her voice is very pleasant, just like spring water flowing in the mountains, making people intoxicated involuntarily.
Jiang Chaoge was even more surprised.
Is this mountain ghost actually literate?
At this moment, the two black shadows had floated to the bow of the boat, and the hair on the black shadows' heads began to stand up, and they rolled towards the crying baby in the woman's arms.
The mountain ghost immediately stretched out her hand and grabbed it gently. Two black figures were caught in her hand and she let out a sharp scream.
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
It seems that the sound is a bit noisy.
The mountain ghost's brows wrinkled slightly, and her two willow-leaf-like thin eyebrows knitted together. Then, she slowly opened her cherry-red mouth.
"Bah!"
"It's time!"
Two black shadows were sucked in by her.
"..." Jiang Chaoge.
Is this thing really for eating?
Jiang Chaoge could feel that the mountain ghost was very powerful and had a heavy yin energy.
Moreover, if we extrapolate based on the time in past life history, Qu Yuan wrote "Jiuge Mountain Ghost" after seeing this mountain ghost, then this mountain ghost must have lived at least four to five hundred years old.
After all, when Qu Yuan was here, King Qin was still King Qin Huiwen, and the First Emperor had not yet been born.
But what on earth is this mountain ghost going to do?
Didn't she come here to claim her life?
Why did he come over and read a book? Moreover, he also killed those two black figures?
Jiang Chaoge didn't know what kind of mood he was feeling now, because the mountain ghost's behavior really made him feel a little weird.
Just as he was thinking about it, the mountain ghost raised his head, looked at him with two ethereal eyes, and stopped reading.
So, Jiang Chaoge glanced at the page subconsciously.
Oh, I’ve finished reading this page!
Does this mean you want me to turn the page?
Jiang Chaoge thought for a while, then casually turned to the next page.
Then, Shan Gui began to read again. She seemed to have some desire to read, and she read very carefully and seriously.
Time passes like this.
Every time Shangui finished reading a page, he would look at Jiang Chaoge.
Naturally, Jiang Chaoge couldn't turn the page right away. He had to wait until he finished "reading" before turning the page.
But he wouldn't let the mountain ghost wait too long.
So, the two ghosts just turned over the book and the other read.
It seems weird and grotesque.
"No way? No way? Isn't this mountain ghost really here to study? This is a bit too absurd. Could it be that the mountain ghost is not a vicious ghost?"
"But if that's the case, why is it said that when a passenger ship passes by a large stone statue, a mountain ghost will kill him? Is it possible that the rumor is false?"
"But the old Taoist on the big stone statue does exist. If the old Taoist's appearance is not to suppress the mountain ghosts, then why is he here?"
Jiang Chaoge was a little confused.
He looked at the big stone statue again. More and more black shadows were gathering on it, and the red creature was constantly devouring the black shadows.
Even the civet cat-like thing started to devour it.
Just as he was watching, he heard Liu Hongyi shouting.
"That's all! In that case, let's sail the boat!"
"???"
The woman looked at Liu Hongyi blankly.
The merchant and the heroine also looked puzzled, and even the old man couldn't react.
"What do you want me to do? Since you, a woman, don't agree, then don't wait and just sail the boat." After Liu Hongyi finished speaking, he came to Jiang Chaoge: "Huh, there are no mountain ghosts in this world."
Jiang Chaoge really wanted to say, "The mountain ghost is right on my face. Do you believe it or not?"
However, when the words came to his lips, he still replied: "Brother Liu is absolutely right. There are no mountain ghosts in the world. When more people say it, there are mountain ghosts."
"Brother Jiang's words... sound very reasonable!" Liu Hongyi opened his mouth, and then praised: "Brother Jiang is really talented, he will definitely be on the list in this provincial examination!"
"I also wish Brother Liu that he is also on the list." Jiang Chaoge smiled.
And when he finished speaking, he discovered...
The mountain ghost has disappeared.
gone?
Jiang Chaoge pretended to look at the big stone statue inadvertently. Sure enough, he saw the figure of the mountain ghost again on top. She was kneeling on the top of the big stone statue.
He was still recalling the book he had just read and making ethereal reciting sounds.
Mountain ghosts are real!
It's just that she doesn't like to ask for her life...
She seems to prefer reading?
Jiang Chaoge was about to look away when suddenly he saw another person on top of the big stone statue.
An old Taoist.
His beard and hair are all white, his face is rosy, and he has the spirit of an immortal.
He stood in front of the mountain ghost with a kind smile on his face.
The mountain ghost didn't seem surprised by the old Taoist's appearance and continued to recite on his own.
"Yin Shen?!"
"The Taoist Chu Yin Shen!"
Jiang Chaoge's eyes immediately turned to the old Taoist sitting on the belly of the big stone statue, although he could not see the old Taoist's face and appearance.
However, the body shapes of the two are almost identical.
"the same person!"
The old Taoist sitting on the big stone statue is the Yin God above the big stone statue!
Why does a Taoist ghost appear here? Moreover, it has been sitting on the big stone statue for a year. Is there anything special about this big stone statue?
Jiang Chaoge once again thought of the legend mentioned by the old man and the traders. In the past few decades, ghosts came to the big stone statue to seek life, so almost no one dared to pass by it.
Also, everyone who climbed the big stone statue...all died!
"If the mountain ghost does not seek life, then who started the rumor and what is its purpose? And the Taoist Yin God, why do you want to kill everyone who has climbed the big stone statue?"
