Chapter 385: A Thousand Years of Love
His client was a big man who paid a high price, and of course he couldn't afford to offend, and when the ceremony was interrupted, the borrower lost his only chance and had to wait for death. If he doesn't break it, he will have to close the deal with his daughter's life. He didn't have time to think about it, threw the lamp on the ground, and then slapped her the back: "Go back!"
His daughter woke up from her dream, clutching her chest, not knowing what had happened, and the ghost master's ritual had failed because of it, and he had offended the powerful because of this, and the other party was very angry with his actions. But before the other party had time to retaliate against him, Black Bean had already detained his soul to the underworld to be punished, and his daughter was also implicated in his father's sins, and she was in the Qinglou, and the rest of her life was very miserable.
"What? It's too much, what kind of law is this!" Zhang Liying cursed, she hated this concept of "the father repays the debt to the son" very much! Why does a person make a mistake or commit a crime, but let others, especially minors, bear the consequences, everyone should be responsible for their own actions, this is a natural thing, being a bad person, the child of a criminal is already stressful enough, and it is necessary to share the punishment for the father, why!
Zhang Liying's own father is now in prison, and she is very willing to risk her life to let her clear her father's crimes, but she can't accept it no matter how she wants her to take responsibility and punish her father's crimes. So when Black Bean said this paragraph, she kept staring at it angrily.
Zhang Liying is in a rebellious period, and it is very difficult for her to change what she has believed, but it is even more difficult to change the mindset of an official like Heidou, who has been poisoned by thousands of years of feudalism, so the two of them glared at each other.
Ji Ao saw the stiffening scene, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Since this is the case, it should be a complete coincidence, I just don't know if the ghost master will have used this evil method many times, otherwise how could it happen twice in a school dormitory?"
"Maybe it's just these two times, by the way, why didn't they think of it? Impossible, we only moved to this new campus two months ago, how can it be the same place, is our school dormitory good feng shui, can we still spread it if we change places?" Zhang Liying shrugged. Although I also know in my heart how small the chance of this possibility is.
"Did you burn it?" asked Black Bean.
"It's burned, but I don't think it's going to be of much use, there's only a broken stone tablet there, how can there be any City God Temple, there is a newly expanded temple nearby, but the stone tablet was 'thrown' into the corner of the big trees in the complex. Zhang Liying nodded. Whenever she thought of the desolation of that place, she felt sorry for the city god who didn't know existed. The working environment is so bad, because he is in a bad mood and has a poor business level, what do you have to blame him.
"Alas......" Black Bean sighed, put his head on his front paws and lay on his stomach, looking like he was lamenting the vicissitudes of the world.
"Girl, you've already done your best, don't get involved in this matter anymore! That ghost master's skills are much more powerful than evil ghosts. Ji Ao spit out the last chicken bone from his mouth, he had a deep understanding of Zhang Liying's curiosity and nosy personality, for fear that she would run to find the ghost master.
"I'm not stupid, it's not a good thing, so I won't go up. Zhang Liying understood what he meant, so she nodded, and after speaking, she took wet wipes to Ji Ao to wipe her face and mouth, and after cleaning up the leftovers, she went into the kitchen to clean up.
Ji Ao and Heidou looked at each other, and they were not very relieved about Zhang Liying's promise. She didn't want to get close to the danger, but who knew if she would get hot and lean on herself when the danger appeared near her?
Zhang Liying fiddled with the dishes in the kitchen, making the water rattle. Her mind was full of ideas, but she couldn't find any clues.
Why do I always encounter such things? Is it really because I have a physical problem? So why didn't I have any of these things in the first ten years? Is it because ......
Just as she was thinking about this, a figure suddenly appeared in the house and followed Zhang Liying into the kitchen. It was a young man in black, his eyebrows were twisted together because of worry on his very handsome face, he looked at Zhang Liying's busy back, and was about to say something, but found that Zhang Liying, who suddenly turned around, had a fierce light on his face......
In the painting on the wall of the living room, Ji Ao closed his eyes and remained motionless, and Black Bean yawned and walked over and lay down at his feet.
"What's wrong with you?" A pair of hands reached out from behind his back, took the washed dishes and chopsticks in Zhang Liying's hands and put them in the cabinet. He is more than a head taller than Zhang Liying, and he usually does the actions that Zhang Liying has to complete with his feet, but he does it with great ease.
"Why did you run out again?" asked Zhang Liying without looking back.
"Don't you see that I'm helping you with your chores, lest you keep saying I'm lazy," Ji Ao smiled rightly, although he didn't usually do anything.
Zhang Liying snatched the plate in his hand and gave him a blank look.
Usually when Ji Ao comes out to "breathe", he will choose when Zhang Liying is not at home, because he doesn't want to be seen his true appearance, Ji Ao's true face is the fair-skinned and handsome young man in front of him, but he said that his face is terrible. It can be seen that his aesthetics have been distorted to an indescribable degree, I really don't know how he can stand the screen full of handsome men and beautiful women crying when he watches TV all day long?
Ji Ao jumped out at this time today, there must be something wrong. Zhang Liying looked at him, continued the work in his hands, and waited for him to speak first.
"Girl, I know you're not happy, why do you think I and Black Bean are so cowardly......" Ji Ao lowered his head and looked at her, "We usually force you to look forward to you catching evil ghosts, but at this time, we are shrinking turtles......"
Zhang Liying turned around, didn't dare to look at his handsome and peerless face, sighed and shook her head: "I'm not angry about this, I know that the identities of the two of you are very embarrassing, if you let Yin Si know, it will be a terrible thing." I also think it's more important to protect the two of you than to catch that ghost master, you are all my important family, and I don't want you to be captured and put in hell to suffer......"
Because she was facing the pool with her back to Ji Ao, Ji Ao couldn't see the look on her face when she said this, anyway, the words "family" made Ji Ao blush with excitement. However, a kind of worry flashed in her heart: The family in her mouth should mean that they are pets kept at home, just like Black Beans and Yan'er...... It's a cause for concern.
"And that ghost master is a human being...... Zhang Liying's voice is very low, "The evil ghost is created by human desire, and the ghost master is that human beings are using magic to do evil, these are all human sins, you and Heidou live a comfortable life, and you want to eliminate evil for the world, I think you are already very remarkable." ”
Ji Ao suddenly felt great relief, to have Zhang Liying's words, he felt that everything he did was worth it, he himself put "for the people of the world" on his lips every day, but when he really heard Zhang Liying's praise, he still twisted it, and it took a long time to say: "Actually, actually...... We were human too......"
"That's the same," Zhang Liying turned around and smiled brightly at him, blinking at him after speaking, obviously expecting something, "Speaking of which, I really don't know anything about you before?"
"No, no, no......" Ji Ao looked embarrassed, he knew that Zhang Liying's curiosity was coming again, this time the target was his past, he couldn't say that he was the sixth prince of the Northern Emperor when he was alive, right?
"What was the era of your life?
"No, no, no...... We don't talk about it, it really ......" He was really reluctant to say these things, because he was already recalling his relationship with the girl in front of him four thousand years ago, and he suddenly had an urge to stretch out his arms and hold her in his arms.
"I heard that the people of your era were all married early, what kind of person is your wife? Isn't she beautiful? It should be the kind of gentle, virtuous, and virtuous lady who is virtuous and virtuous, right?"
I don't know why, Ji Ao actually sniffed a chill from this bland question, and couldn't help shivering, his hand shook, and a stack of plates fell to the ground, and suddenly fell to pieces.
"What are you doing, you also need money to buy the plate!" Zhang Liying pointed at him and reprimanded, "Clean up yourself, anyway, your current state is not afraid of getting pricked in your hands!"
Ji Ao rushed out to find a broom like a gust of wind, as long as he stopped interrogating him about those questions and let him do anything.
He must have some unsavory secrets, and I don't know if he is like those ancient scumbags, with three wives and four concubines, thirty wives and forty concubines, and a bunch of beautiful women to raise in the house...... Hmph! When I know the truth, I will make you look good! Zhang Liying washed the plate in her hand viciously, and suddenly woke up, Ji Ao's kind of aesthetics, getting a bunch of beauties every day, isn't it just a matter of killing him? Hehe, he deserves it! Suddenly he was happy again.
With Ji Ao's help, the housework is indeed done much faster. During this period, Zhang Liying has been entangled in the topic just now, but Ji Ao gritted his teeth and vowed not to explain his life before his death, not even his name before he changed his name. In the end, under Zhang Liying's repeated questioning, she didn't know where to bring out a guqin and proposed to stroke the qin to her.
Although the beautiful young man in front of him does have a temperament that is very compatible with the guqin, when she thinks of Ji Ao's usual words and deeds, Zhang Liying is deeply skeptical that he can play a musical instrument.
When Ji Ao sat down on the ground and really played the guqin, Zhang Liying grabbed his face very unexpectedly, and then muttered to herself in Ji Ao's screams, staring at his face in disbelief: "It hurts...... Not a dream...... Are you really Ji Ao?"
Ji Ao was embarrassed and indignant, his face was flushed, and he covered his face with his hands and shouted at Zhang Liying: "You, what are you doing...... How can a girl look at a man like this!"
"I'm not embarrassed, why are you shy, aren't you all very excited when the TV shows the scene of men and women kissing each other?"
That's because ...... "When did she see it, when she was watching TV, didn't she study in the house?" Ji Ao couldn't stand this the most, "Then don't stare at my face!"
"Nonsense, I don't stare at your face? Am I such an impolite person? Talk to people without looking at each other's faces! Am I staring at other people's butts?"
Seeing Zhang Liying's momentum of leaning forward with her hands pressing the piano and "talking" to herself more and more seriously, Ji Ao was immediately "persuaded" by her, and lowered her head in a panic and said, "I'll play the piano for you, I'll play the piano...... Think about what tunes to listen to?"
Zhang Liying's face was too close to his......
"Will the two tigers be?"
"Won't ......"
"Little Swallow in a flower dress?"
"Won't ......"
"I'll sing these two songs......"
"No......
Ji Ao still plucked the strings.
After a long time, Zhang Liying knew that playing the piano was a compulsory course among ancient readers, just like taking the university entrance examination now, no matter what your physical fitness is, your sports performance must meet the standard, in ancient times, no matter whether you are incomplete in five tones, as long as you want to be a reader, this musical instrument, how much you have to know some, even if the piano you play has the function of changing the color of heaven and earth, as long as you make a few decent strokes, it is still very able to bluff people.
