Chapter 11 Water reckless ghosts, Yin soldiers and tigers Fu Senluo trick soldiers!
"Little girl, when you get up so early, you have to do business!"
Lin Nian asked with a smile.
Lin Nian wondered why he had never seen this teahouse in Guo Beicheng for decades.
etc!
teahouse!
Isn't this Shuimangcao in the original Liaozhai novel?
Water grass is also a poisonous weed. It grows like kudzu and has purple flowers, similar to lentils. If you eat it, you will die immediately, and you will become a water grass ghost.
It is written in the original work that a scholar named Zhu went to visit a friend of his same age. On the way, he was very thirsty and wanted to drink water. Suddenly he saw a pavilion by the roadside, and an old woman was giving tea inside.
This old woman and that girl Kou Sanniang are Shui Mang ghosts.
After death, his resentment lingered and he became a lonely ghost.
If you want to reincarnate, you can only drag one person into the water.
When the new person becomes a water ghost, he can be reincarnated.
Over and over again, it keeps repeating.
In this age where demons are rampant, lonely souls and wild ghosts are everywhere, and ghosts have too much time to take care of themselves, so how can they care about the sufferings of the underworld.
Such a ghost is actually quite pitiful rather than hateful.
Furthermore, Lin Nian looked at the girl with a hint of pity.
"Girl, let's have some nice hot tea."
Lin Nian took Xiaobao and sat outside the pergola.
He wanted to see how this legendary water ghost could harm people.
The girl walked into the shed holding a teapot. She was about fourteen or fifteen years old and had a gorgeous appearance. The ring on her finger and the bracelet on her wrist were so bright that she could see the figure.
Inside the pergola, there is a stooped old woman, wearing rough linen clothes and with sparse and gray hair.
Grinning, with big yellow teeth, he said to the girl:
"This man has many merits and deeds, so he is an excellent candidate for death."
"It won't be long before you can be reincarnated, and you don't have to follow the old lady and suffer here."
Hearing this, the girl looked sad, "But... the City God has mercy on me, and I will be able to be reincarnated after another ten years."
"Why harm people?"
"ten years!"
"Hey, how many more years can we wait for?"
"There's nothing to hesitate about. If you don't drag people into trouble, how can you be reincarnated?"
"Don't worry, this man is full of merit and deeds. When he takes over the tea shop, he won't drag others into trouble and find others to die for him."
"What a pity, such a kind-hearted young master..."
The girl wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the old woman.
The old woman came out of the arbor and brought tea, very attentively.
"I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
Although the words spoken by the girl and the old woman in the pavilion just now were very low, Lin Nian had already refined his Qi, so it was unusual for him to be able to hear his words clearly.
Lin Nian did not feel angry, but looked at the old woman with a trace of pity.
If these two watery ghosts want to reincarnate, they can only drag people into the water and find others to die on their behalf.
Sensing something strange about Lin Nian, the old woman hurriedly said:
"Sir, if you don't drink it, the tea will get cold."
Lin Nian looked at the tea. The tea was turbid and had a strange smell. It didn't look like tea at all.
"Old man, how many years have you been setting up a stall here selling tea to make a living?"
Lin Nian asked without drinking tea.
After hearing Lin Nian's words, the old man hesitated and sat on the chair next to him.
The old woman was silent for a while, then slowly said:
"Old lady, I've been making a living here for decades."
"Why!"
The old man sighed, containing too much helplessness and sadness.
Lin Nian was shocked when he heard this number.
ten years!
In other words, the old woman has not found a scapegoat for more than ten years.
Countless days and nights, it was impossible to find anyone.
The most likely possibility is that the old woman doesn't want to.
She doesn't want to drag others into trouble and then suffer for herself.
I guess this old lady was also a good person during her lifetime!
Thinking about it, the reason why he was harmed today was because of Kou Sanniang, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old!
At the age of fourteen or fifteen, when he was in his prime and full of high spirits, he died young and was harmed by a water ghost and suffered for several years beside the river embankment.
"Old man, making a living in these troubled times is hard and painful. Have you ever thought about quitting?"
Lin Nian asked tentatively.
The old woman shook her head. Perhaps she had heard something from Lin Nian and had other ideas. She sighed and said:
"I've thought about it!"
"How could I not have thought about it?"
"I think about it all the time, but if I don't do it, someone else will do it."
"In that case, other people will also suffer."
"It's all suffering anyway. My wife has been suffering from it for ten years. It's not a big deal and she can bear it."
"It's just a pain for Sanniang. She is only fourteen years old and she is suffering here with my old lady."
"Poor fate!"
The old woman seemed to think she had said enough to Lin Nian, or she didn't want to see Lin Nian's grief-stricken expression after drinking the tea.
He got up and walked into the pergola.
Lin Nian sighed slightly and looked at the tea on the table, lost in thought for a moment.
Xiaobao on the side was already unbearably cold and wanted to drink a sip of hot tea to warm up.
He picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
At this critical moment,
The girl ran out of the tea shop and knocked the tea in Xiaobao's hand to the ground.
Xiaobao, who had no intention of doing so, stared blankly at the girl in front of him.
"This tea is already cold. If you drink it any more, I'm afraid it will hurt your health."
"Let me go and reheat a pot of tea for you!"
"Why!"
The girl let out a long sigh, her eyes full of regret.
She still doesn’t want to harm anyone!
Lin Nian let out a long sigh and took out the Yin Soldier Tiger Talisman given by the system from his arms, with a glint in his eyes.
The Yin Soldier Tiger Talisman in his hand moved slightly.
In an instant, the wind blew violently and ghostly mist spread everywhere.
In an instant, the old tea shop disappeared into nothing, leaving only a lonely grave covered with weeds.
The chair Lin Nian was sitting on turned into a dead wood pile.
In the dark mist, the sound of gold and iron sounded.
Wow~
Like a chain hitting the armor, a tall figure appeared in front of Lin Nian.
He was wearing a tall bronze armor, wrapped in ghost mist, a chain around his waist exuding a deep and terrifying aura, and a ghost-headed sword in his hand, shining with cold light.
A pair of scarlet ghost eyes, hidden under the helmet, swayed like will-o'-the-wisps.
The Yin soldier walked up to Lin Nian and knelt down.
"Commander of the Senluogui soldiers, I would like to pay my respects to you, sir!"
In the black mist behind him, ten pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly appeared, bowing and kneeling towards Lin Nian.
It seemed that except for this great commander, no one else was qualified to appear in front of Lin Nian.
After Lin Nian felt the powerful aura of these ghost soldiers in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction.
When the old woman hiding in the dark saw this, she hurriedly pulled Kou Sanniang and knelt in front of Lin Nian.
"I don't know if it's a ghost messenger who has come, but the old woman is blind and wants to harm you."
"Please forgive me, sir."
"This matter is all done by the old woman alone and has nothing to do with Sanniang."
"Please, sir, punish the old woman and spare Sanniang!" This chapter has been completed!
