Chapter 87 You can’t get close to ordinary ghosts

"I'm thinking about how picturesque this country is, and I've read hundreds of poems, but I can't find the verse that's most similar to it."

Mu Chengze followed her line of sight, chuckled twice, and then said: "There are countless beautiful places in the world. If I had to come up with poems to accompany them, I'm afraid my brain would be exhausted."

"Cousin, it's better not to think about these things. Once you have seen these things, they are over. If today's things are gone, there will still be tomorrow's things."

These great rivers and mountains will not disappear tomorrow after today. This picturesque scenery cannot be seen in a lifetime.

"When you get back, cousin, you can ask Ashu to draw what you saw and heard on the road on paper for you. His drawing skills are very good, and I think he will satisfy you."

After a few words, he added a lot of work to himself. Gu Tingshu looked at it coldly and did not respond.

Although Shen Qiqi wanted to paint, she did not dare to make this request to Gu Tingshu, so she could only smile and politely decline his proposal.

"There will be a small town two hours ahead. Let's take a rest there then."

It can be said that that small town is under the jurisdiction of Yunchuan County, but the road is far away and there are not many people traveling between the two.

The three of them got up all the way, but they didn't even come across anyone. After entering the town, there were only twos and threes of pedestrians on the street.

A few people found a restaurant and asked the servants to lead the horses behind to feed them, and then waved the waiter over.

"Let the chef prepare some special dishes. I'll be on my way soon."

The waiter bent down and said "Okay", turned around and was about to leave, but after hesitating for a moment he turned around and came back.

"If the guest officials are not in such a hurry, it would be better to wait until early tomorrow morning before leaving."

"It's far from the official road here. If you're in a hurry, you can only take the small road. But it still takes most of the day to get to the next destination."

"There is Luojiazhuang between the two towns. There was a sudden ghost incident there before March. Now it is empty. A few of them went there on horseback and happened to arrive there at night."

The waiter seemed to be extremely scared. After whispering, he quickly stepped back. Looking at his figure, he seemed to be trembling a little.

When they went to the kitchen, Shen Qiqi poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Gu Tingshu, and asked in a low voice: "Cousin, do we want to continue on our way?"

Gu Tingshu has been fighting enemies for more than ten years. His hands are dripping with blood, and his soul is almost dead under the sword. If there are really ghosts and gods, he is afraid that he would have been torn into countless pieces by evil spirits. Therefore, there are legends about ghosts and gods among the people. No matter how true it is, he still doesn't believe it.

"Fear?"

He turned his head sideways, and his little self was clearly reflected in his dark pupils, but nothing else could be seen.

Shen Qiqi was in a daze, as if she saw herself in his pupils and shook her head. When she regained consciousness, she saw him moving his lips and smiling.

"Since you're not afraid, let's go and have a look at night."

Mu Chengze drank several cups of tea, and his dry and itchy throat finally felt much better.

Hearing the two of them decide with just one word, I couldn't help but shake my head.

"If my cousin is afraid, just follow Ashu closely. He is full of evil spirits, and ordinary ghosts and ghosts can't get close to him."

He was not lying. When they went to Yuntai Mountain three years ago to seek peace talismans, the abbot of Yuntai Mountain himself said that he was gathering evil spirits and that a sword that killed countless enemies could be worth thousands of peace talismans.

"At that time, you will hold his sword. Even if he can't look after you for a while, you will definitely not be in danger."

He said it very seriously, and there was no hint of joking at all.

Shen Qiqi didn't know if the sword was that powerful, but she couldn't help but look at Gu Tingshu's waist.

Although he does not wear this sword all the time, it can be seen that he always carries it eight times out of ten.

The sword that has been with him for many years must be tainted with a lot of his aura.

"I'll just follow closely then."

Shen Qiqi didn't dare to ask for the sword. Even if she dared to ask, her cousin might not be able to give it to her.

The weapon is just the same. If she really asks for it and is treated in a dangerous way, wouldn't all three of them suffer?

She was so well-behaved that she didn't dare to ask for anything. Even if she wanted to come out with her, she only dared to nod after asking.

Mu Chengze drank another cup of tea and shook his head.

It is a good thing for a woman to be well-behaved, but if she is too well-behaved, she may be wronging herself.

Thinking about Suyang, she always asked for what she wanted and never hid it, so until she grew up to this age, she had never been wronged.

Because she felt that her father's shadow guard was powerful, she immediately asked for it. When her father refused to give it, she knelt outside the palace for three days. No, her father finally agreed to her request.

Shadow Guard, he, the crown prince, has never gotten one, so she can use it as she pleases.

If she hadn't been uninterested in government affairs, I'm afraid she would have been guarded and targeted by others now.

When his thoughts returned, the waiter had already brought the food. Mu Chengze shook off all the messy thoughts, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.

This restaurant is usually filled with travelers and hard laborers, so all the dishes are rich in oil and salt.

Gu Tingshu and Mu Chengze were often out and about, so they could eat it even if they didn't like it, but Shen Qiqi couldn't.

The food she usually eats is lighter than ordinary people, and she can barely eat it if it is heavier, but she really can't swallow the food on the table.

She reluctantly swallowed the food in her mouth, drank two cups of tea, and for the rest of the time she only ate the rice in the bowl and never touched another dish.

Mu Chengze noticed her movements, and just as he was about to ask the waiter to cook some new dishes, Gu Tingshu handed over the dishes that had been soaked in water.

The palm-sized plate was filled with vegetarian dishes and not a single piece of meat.

Mu Chengze felt that he was being abusive, but he also felt that he was not such a person, so he swallowed back what he was about to say.

Shen Qiqi smiled and thanked her, pulled the small plate over and slowly finished eating it.

As soon as she put down the bowl and chopsticks, Gu Tingshu poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

Before setting off, Mu Chengze gave the waiter a few copper coins, asked carefully about the address of Luojiazhuang, and then led the horse to the outside of the town.

There were only a few people in the town, and maybe it was because of the incident at Luojiazhuang that pedestrians in twos and threes saw them and walked around.

This was the first time that someone was so defensive. Shen Qiqi was a little curious and couldn't help but stare at them.

As her eyes passed by a corner, she suddenly met a pair of sinister eyes. The man covered his face with a black gauze. When she wanted to take a serious look, the man turned and walked away.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her standing still, Mu Chengze asked.

Shen Qiqi thought for a while and shook her head, "It seems like someone is staring at us. Maybe I saw it wrong."

Gu Tingshu followed her line of sight, stayed in that corner for a few moments, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.

Mu Chengze glanced at Gu Tingshu, who was expressionless, and then smiled at her: "I guess you are wrong. We have just arrived here, and it is impossible for anyone to know us."
