"You see, this is the best guest room in our hotel. It is usually packed with guests. If it weren't for the fact that the ghosts are making people panic and no one comes over, you might not have the chance to stay here." The waiter led Gongliang to the building.
He went to the room, wiped the tables and chairs diligently with a rag, and explained.
"What's going on with this ghost? Why did I see blood-smeared steamed buns and three animal sacrifices in front of every house when I entered the town?"
"Guest, you don't know anything. It's the Qiao family's misfortune.
A while ago, the wife of the Qiao family came back from visiting her brother in Chenyang. She passed by the Gangliang Mountain and was seen by a ghost entrenched on it. She fell in love with her beauty and went to the Qiao family to propose marriage the next day. How could the Qiao family be willing to marry their daughter to that evil ghost?
, the ghost lost its temper on the spot, injured the head of the Qiao family, and insisted on taking her as his wife. He also ordered the town to give him three animals and four fruits as gifts on the day he married his wife.
Our town is the only way to Cangwu County, and the people in the town have benefited from it and are quite wealthy.
But that was only part of it. There were still many poor people. How could they get so many things? In the end, there was no other way. In order to avoid evil spirits, the rich people in the town used three animals as sacrifices, and the poor people used some steamed buns or wild vegetables.
Make a ball of coarse grains and smear it with animal blood to make a fool of yourself."
This guy was used to chatting with people coming and going in the inn, and he developed a habit of being talkative.
At this time, when Gongliang started talking, he kept talking like the water of a surging river.
After the waiter finished speaking, he asked again: "Has the guest just arrived in our Cangwu County?"
"Yes." Gongliang nodded.
"Then guests, please be careful. There will be heavy rain in the county this year, causing floods and causing countless deaths. If there are heroes who can't survive, they will set up flags on the top of the mountain and start business without capital. On the way to the county town, you have to pass by
There are many hills, so be careful. And”
The clerk looked around and whispered: "And there are a lot of weird things in the county right now. Not only are ghosts running rampant, but zombies are also causing trouble, and biting people to death happens from time to time. Especially in the wild, it is even more terrifying. I just told the guest about the "Zangliang Mountain"
, is a place where ghosts and ghosts are rampant. It used to be a mass grave, but now it is occupied by a group of old ghosts crawling out of old graves. You should be careful when passing by."
"How do you know that ghosts are rampant there?" Gong Liang asked curiously.
"This matter has been spread around for a long time, but more than one person has seen the ghosts above with his own eyes. Last month, a Taoist priest went there and almost gave his life there. In the end, he had to go around from other places and said that he would find someone to come and clean up those ghosts.
It's a ghost. It's a pity that it never came back. I think it was frightened and didn't dare to come." The waiter complained.
"Tian Shui, how long do you want to stay up there? Why don't you get down quickly?"
When the old shopkeeper saw that the waiter had been staying down for a long time, he knew that his nagging habit had recurred again, so he hurriedly shouted down below.
"right away."
The waiter put the oil lamp on the table, put the rag on his shoulder, and was about to go out.
"Wait."
Gongliang took out two pieces of silver from the storage ring, threw it over, and said: "Get me some better and delicious food tomorrow morning. If there is nothing in the store, go out and buy it. It must be the best in town, and
The quantity needs to be large, people like us have big appetites. Don’t be afraid to spend money, if it’s not enough, I will make up for you tomorrow.”
The clerk took the silver and bit it. When he saw the two teeth marks on it, he smiled and said, "What you want will be prepared for you tomorrow morning. I'll do the work, don't worry."
After saying that, the guy walked out and closed the door.
Gongliang went over and bolted the door, blocked the door with a chair, and then lay down on the bed with Migu in his arms.
Yuan Gungun took out a piece of animal skin and spread it at the foot of the bed, lay down and fell asleep. The chicken was already standing on the roof to rest.
"Wang Liangshan." Gongliang murmured to himself while lying on the bed.
He planned to go there for a walk to see what kind of ghostly realm it was.
If there is a ghost, let Yanhuo deal with it, add some lamp oil at the same time, and let Yaizhen condense the beast body quickly and become a mount war beast.
At the same time, the mass graves that the innkeeper said were infested with ghosts and ghosts were brightly lit on the mountain. If you look closely, you will see that there is a small town standing on top. The town has brothels, restaurants, shops and people, and ghosts come and go from time to time. It is very lively.
extraordinary.
There were lanterns and colorful decorations at the door of a house in the town, and they were beaming with joy. Apparently something happy had happened.
But at this time, the people sitting in the lobby of this family became anxious.
"What's going on? The old ghost has been away to welcome his bride for so long and he still hasn't come back?" said a big man with a fierce face.
"I guess I was delayed on the way." A skinny old man drank tea slowly.
"Could he be caught?" a charming woman guessed.
"Probably not!" said an extremely thin man.
The ferocious-looking man frowned and said: "What Feng Niang said is not impossible. After all, it is a town. Maybe some Taoist priests who are meddling in demons and ghosts have come and caught him. Although this old ghost is
His strength is good, but he can't stand up to his powerful magic. He is just too arrogant. We are from the underworld after all, how can we forcefully marry a woman from the upper world? If anyone meets him, he will definitely be eliminated."
"The Taoist's magic power was pretty good last time. If it weren't for his poor skills, I think we would have suffered. Do you think it was the Taoist who brought his fellow disciples here? If so, we have to leave quickly to avoid being arrested.
"Feng Niang said in panic.
"Why are you nervous? It's not certain yet. Don't scare yourself. Find someone to check it out before talking about it!" said the skinny old man.
"Too."
Feng Niang beckoned for a quick-footed kid to go to the town to inquire about the situation.
But after a while, the little ghost came back and reported that he didn't see the wedding procession. The town was deserted, not even a ghost.
Several people were shocked when they heard this. Being able to arrest the whole wedding party quietly was not something ordinary people could do. Then they discussed and decided to leave the place immediately, lest someone come to their door and be picked on.
After discussing it, several people joined forces to do something.
A thick fog appeared out of thin air in the Gangliang Mountain. After a while, the thick fog dissipated, and the brightly lit town disappeared, leaving only old and new graves.
Early the next morning, Gong Liang got up, washed up, and went downstairs. As soon as he sat down in the store facing the street, he saw the woman he rescued last night walking in with an old woman. The old woman was carrying a large bag of things, followed by others.
A sick old man.
As soon as she entered the inn, when the woman saw Gong Liang, she lowered her head and murmured to the old woman.
After hearing this, the old woman took the woman and the old man and walked over, knelt down in front of Gong Liang and started to chew her head.
"Old woman, I would like to thank my benefactor for rescuing my son last night."
The woman also knelt down and kowtowed after the old woman. When the sick old man saw her, she also knelt down.
"It's just a small effort, why bother? Please get up quickly, please."
Gongliang hurriedly stepped forward and helped them up. Just kidding, this old man is still licking his head when he is so sick. Who is to blame if something happens to him?
The old woman got up and handed a large bag of things she had brought to Gong Liang, "There is nothing good at home. I heard that my benefactor asked the store clerk to find food. The old woman's skills were pretty good, so she made some snacks for the benefactor. I hope you don’t dislike it.”
If they don't accept it, it will obviously not make their family feel at ease, so they will just accept the things.
When the old woman saw Gong Liang accepting the things, she felt relieved and asked again: "My benefactor is here, but he has to go to the county town?"
"Yeah" Gongliang nodded.
When the old woman heard what he said, she hesitated for a moment and then said: "The benefactor can save the little girl. It can be said that we have rekindled the kindness. She shouldn't have any wrong thoughts. It's just that the old woman was worried that the ghost would have accomplices to come and capture the little girl. Go. That’s why the old woman is here and wants to ask her benefactor to help send her daughter to Chenyang’s home, so as not to be killed by those evil ghosts here.”
After the old woman finished speaking, she knelt down and started chewing her head again.
The woman also knelt down, and the old man also knelt down.
Gongliang didn’t know what to say, and this family member didn’t know if he was the reincarnation of the Kowtow Worm. Why did he like to kowtow to others so much?
It was estimated that if he didn't agree to the old woman's promise, the family would not let him go. Thinking that it would be a good idea to pass through Chenyang anyway, Gongliang agreed. The old woman stood up with a huge thank you.
"You go back and pack up. I'm going to stay here for one day and leave tomorrow. Just come and meet me then."
After Gong Liang finished speaking, he sent the family away.
After they left, the waiter came over and asked: "Guest, I have prepared the food you wanted last night. Do you want to eat it now or save it until noon?"
"I want it now, bring it all!"
"okay!"
After a while, the waiter brought out delicacies one after another from the kitchen, including dim sum, braised food, steamed, boiled, fried, and grilled things. Although they were all made of ordinary things, they were delicious.
Gongliang nodded repeatedly while eating, while Yuan Gunwan, Migu and the others grabbed things and stuffed them into their mouths.
The man prepared a lot of food for them, thinking they could eat it for a whole day.
I didn't expect that they would eat up the whole meal. I couldn't help but be stunned and dumbfounded.
