Chapter Ninety-Seven: Wu Moting
In the middle of the night, everything was silent, and when he left the Leng family, the concentration of aura was much lower, and Wu Moting couldn't sleep for a while, and when he was tossing and turning, he heard a faint cry not far away. Wu Moting was a little surprised, and when he listened attentively, it was indeed the voice of a woman crying.
He remembered that before entering the house, he accidentally glanced at Chen Li and followed the guy in the direction of the end of the corridor, and the crying seemed to come from there.
Sitting up from the bed, he was about to put on his clothes and go out to have a look, but he felt that it was inappropriate, he thought that Chen Li had always been cold, and he had always had a cold face in front of people, and maybe there was something sad about his daughter's family at this moment. People are alone, and it is rude to suddenly break in. With that in mind, he lay back down.
Unconsciously, drowsiness hit, and between the half-dreams and half-awakenings when he was about to fall asleep, he vaguely remembered that the cry had sounded for a long time, and the more he cried, the more he complained, the more he cried, the more miserable he became, and he slowly fell asleep in that sad cry.
When he woke up the next day, Wu Moting looked a little sluggish, only because the cry was too resentful, he was haunted by nightmares all night, but when he woke up, he didn't remember what he dreamed at all. While thinking about it, he had already finished freshening up, and he didn't tell the store to bring breakfast yesterday, so he fell down to the hall on the first floor.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw Wu Moting coming down, he immediately greeted him, thinking in his heart, this immortal looked young, but he was very noble, and ordinary immortal cultivators did not have such a charm as him. Naturally, he arranged the breakfast with his own hands very respectfully, and greeted Wu Moting with a thousand respects.
Wu Moting had long been accustomed to these shrewd shopkeepers, so he didn't say much, waved his hand, and ate alone.
While eating, Wang Xiaoshi suddenly came out of nowhere and sat down beside him leisurely. Wu Moting nodded at him and greeted, "Brother Wang is early, is it too early?"
Wang Xiaoshi smiled slightly and did not answer.
Not long after, Chen Li, who was dressed in black, also came down from upstairs. Although Chen Li's appearance is not as stunning as Leng Lu'er, Lu Hecao's beauty, and Wu Yanlou's brightness, she can be regarded as delicate, and she is much more beautiful than ordinary mortals. It's just that she has a unique temperament, cold and solemn, and along the way, those mortals don't even dare to look at her.
Only when Wang Xiaoshi saw her coming, her handsome eyebrows and eyes immediately softened, got up and ushered her to sit down, carefully and thoughtfully served hot porridge for her, and instructed the guy to bring a few refreshing side dishes, and only after arranging everything did he speak: "Ah Li girl, I have tried it deliberately, these small dishes are good, they are your favorite taste." ”
Chen Li raised his hand and swallowed it with a chopstick, and nodded at Wang Xiaoshi.
The three of them were all seated, Wang Xiaoshi smiled mysteriously, and said, "I got up early today, but I heard some rumors. ”
Before Wang Xiaoshi finished speaking, Wu Moting interjected: "Miss Chen, did you sleep well yesterday?" He had been looking at Chen since he came down, and when he saw that there was no bruise under her eyes, it was obvious that he was sleeping peacefully, so he felt more and more suspicious about last night's crying.
Chen Li took a sip of porridge before he replied lightly: "Very good." ”
Wang Xiaoshi glanced at Wu Moting and said, "It seems that Brother Wu has also discovered something." Turning to Chen's mouth: "This shopkeeper is uneasy and kind, and he actually took Ah Li girl to live in such an unclean side room." ”
Wu Moting thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that Miss Chen's side room is sneaky?"
Wang Xiaoshi nodded, "I've found it out, but this story is very long, so I'll pick the important ones to tell." This inn used to be the mansion of a great official, and the whole family of seventy or eighty people died on his wedding night because of the evil ghosts. After many years, there are people who have achieved the Tao to suppress the evil ghosts, but it is clearly stated that the wing room at the end of the corridor on the second floor must not be inhabited, and every year, month, and day must be enshrined in the room to calm the soul. ”
He took a sip of tea and continued: "The inn's business is getting more and more prosperous, and the shop that started keeps in mind the instructions of the master and never lets people stay in it. But after the old man died, the innkeeper changed for several generations, and the later people didn't care much about the past. Gradually, there was a situation where someone lived in that room and disappeared for no reason, and no one died. But the current shopkeeper was afraid of affecting the business, so he kept the matter firmly hidden, and no longer let ordinary people move in, but he had a crooked mind and specially entertained us cultivators to stay in, hoping to let the cultivators solve the terrible ghost easily. ”
Wu Moting liked these strange stories when he was at home, and he listened to them energetically, and asked, "What about later?"
"Who knew that this powerful ghost was extremely resentful, not only was it not eliminated by the cultivators, but it devoured several cultivators, and its strength became stronger and stronger. Yesterday, when he saw that the three of us were very good, and knew that we were very good, he arranged for Ah Li to live in that room. Wang Xiaoshi spoke eloquently.
"I, the cry I heard yesterday was from that female ghost!" Wu Moting couldn't help but say it.
"Female ghost?" Wang Xiaoshi grabbed the word, "It seems that Brother Wu knows something?"
Wu Moting scratched his head a little embarrassed, "I heard a very sad woman's cry yesterday, and the sound came from the direction of Miss Chen's room, I thought, I thought it was Miss Chen, so I didn't look at it." It's just that I think that the female ghost is not shallow, and I am haunted by nightmares because of this cry. ”
Wang Xiaoshi raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this, knowing that these children of famous families have received special training since they were children, and the infestation of ordinary monsters and ghosts can be easily resisted. But hearing him say that the cry of a female ghost can invade his dreams, it can be seen that the female ghost's magic power is profound.
Wu Moting looked at Chen Li, who was good, in confusion, and said, "Miss Chen, you, are you okay?"
Chen Li was still eating breakfast, shook his head very coldly, ate the last bite of white porridge, and said coldly: "Pack up and get ready to go." ”
Wu Moting looked at her in shock and asked, "Then, don't we care about the female ghost?"
Wang Xiaoshi was also a little surprised why Chen Li, who had always been kind, ignored the powerful ghosts in this store, but he didn't want to go against Chen Li's intentions, sighed, and said: "I just pity that female ghost trapped by love, and she has to be shackled here, and she can't be freed from it in life and life." ”
Wu Moting glanced at him strangely, "Brother Wang is really an amorous person, he doesn't sympathize with the dozens of people who died tragically back then, nor does he pity the mortals and cultivators who were eaten later, but he pities the evil ghost." ”
"The innocent people who were implicated are naturally pitiful, but the female ghost was just an ordinary woman who was bent on staying with her lover, but it was a pity that the lover turned his back on her for the so-called axioms of the world and the terrible words of people, so she was trapped by obsession, and after killing so many people, she was surrounded by many resentments, and finally became the current hateful appearance. Wang Xiaoshi seemed to sigh.
"These evil monsters and sneaky monsters deserve to die, why are you so sentimental. "Wu Moting is consistent with the ordinary concept of cultivating immortals, the immortal path is the immortal path, the demon path is the demon path, and the immortal and the demon cannot be separated.
Wang Xiaoshi pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, and said no more......
