As soon as he handed the wine to Cao'er, Bai Xingxing called him outside the inn.

Yu Sheng walked out, followed the direction pointed by Bai Xingxing, and saw three foot merchants and a sword martial artist walking from the avenue.

A foot merchant, as the name suggests, is a merchant who walks on his feet and has no whereabouts, similar to a hawker who walked the streets and alleys in his previous life.

Foot merchants generally carry a bamboo basket on their backs, and the wealthy catch a cart and wander between nearby cities, towns, and villages to sell some groceries.

Or buy a city's specialties at a low price and sell them to a nearby city to earn some errand money.

It's just that the town where the inn is located is at least three days and three nights away from the north and south cities, and to the west is a big mountain, and there are few foot merchants.

Yu Sheng's gaze moved back slightly, frozen, and in his field of vision, behind the foot merchant and martial artist, there was also a woman.

She was dressed in a black warrior's robe, and although her eyes were covered by a black cloth and could not see the sun, the woman still walked calmly and calmly followed behind the foot trader.

In the field of vision of the Heavenly Master, they can't see this person, only the rest of their lives.

The pedestrian went up to the stone bridge, passed by the archway, the sword bag was safe and sound, and he was not embarrassed by the woman who followed behind.

The martial artist walked to the inn and asked, "Excuse me, how far is the road to Yangzhou City?"

The martial artist was thinly dressed, wearing only a shirt, his hair was unkempt, his face was pale, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't rested for a long time.

Yu Sheng said: "There is still half a day's foot. ”

The martial artist thanked him, and after turning around and going back to discuss with the foot merchant, he decided to stay at the inn for one night.

When entering the inn, the martial artist saw the old monk, and couldn't help but stop and let the foot merchant walk in first.

Yu Sheng saw the woman stop and stand not far away, and saw the old monk raise his eyes and glance at the woman's location lightly.

The old monk's gaze was very sharp, and the frightened woman took three steps back just by this glance.

Yu Sheng pretended to turn a blind eye, poured a bowl of water for them, and after seeing the martial artist look at the bottom of the bowl, he said, "Master, there is a reluctant request below." ”

The old monk said, "Please speak." ”

Seeing that the foot merchants were resting in the inn, the martial artist whispered, "I wonder if the master has the ability to catch ghosts and exorcise demons?"

The old monk said, "You mean the ghost who is following you?"

The martial artist was startled and hurriedly looked back, but he couldn't see anything.

For the rest of his life, he could see clearly that the woman was waving to him, but the yin and yang could not see each other.

The martial artist's face turned pale, and he turned back to the old monk and said, "She, she, she's behind me?"

The old monk didn't answer, and asked again, "When did you meet her?"

As he spoke, the old monk glanced at the female ghost again, frightened the female ghost to leave the door of the inn, and stood in the corner of the inn.

Her face, which was not covered by the black cloth, was full of panic, but she still did not leave.

Wu Shi said: "Three days ago, I met her in a teahouse on the avenue. ”

Because gluttony blocked the road from Gusu City to the Central Plains, many caravans and escort warriors did not wait to stay in Gusu City.

They expected gluttony to be just a whim, but after waiting for half a year, there were still gluttonous figures on the road.

There was not much left on his body, and the martial artist couldn't wait any longer, so he took on the task of escorting the four foot merchants.

Also because of the backlog of caravan goods in Gusu City, the low price was given to the foot merchants, in order to sell at a good price, the foot merchants came to Yangzhou City.

Three days ago, they were on the road, and the warrior met the female ghost in a teahouse on the side of the road.

It was noon, and they were naturally thirsty and tired after a half-day journey, so they did not hesitate to go into the teahouse after meeting it.

Sitting down, the martial artist picked up a bowl of tea, and when he was about to take a big sip, he inadvertently looked into the tea bowl and was startled.

In the tea bowl, a woman's face appeared, and she opened her mouth to speak two words to him.

The martial artist's heart tightened, "There is something strange in the tea, and you can't drink it." ”

"Smack", he immediately slammed the tea bowl on the table, and knocked down the tea bowl in the hands of the three foot merchants who were drinking tea.

The others looked at him in amazement. The martial artist didn't explain, just threw a few dollars on the table to pay for the tea bowl, pulled them and said, "We have to go." ”

Although the foot merchant was puzzled, he had agreed when he went on the road that he would stop drinking and sleeping and listen to the martial artist, so although he was thirsty, he still followed him on the road.

But after drinking water by a river and seeing a woman's face in the water again, the martial artist knew that it was not the teahouse problem, but that she had met a ghost.

In the subsequent trip, the martial artist often encountered strange things, there were fallen leaves in front of him, and a line of words slowly appeared in fine sand.

When crossing the river, a woman's face appeared in the water surface, and her figure was also seen in her sleep, so that the martial artist did not dare to sleep, and has been tortured until now.

As soon as the martial artist saw the old monk, he immediately asked him for help, "Master, please help me." ”

The old monk looked up at the female ghost, moved his body for the rest of his life, covered his sight, and said, "It's opening her mouth again, and it's writing again, what did she say to you?"

The martial artist shook his head, "I was in a panic at the time, how could I remember?"

Yu Sheng was curious again: "Unprovoked, how could she find you?"

The martial artist shook his head, but quickly stopped, "Could it be the bones?"

The old monk asked, "What bones?"

The martial artist told them that because the merchant and he were not familiar with the road to Yangzhou City, there was a fork in the road when they first started the road.

They came across a corpse on that fork in the road, and its entire body had been gnawed away by the beast, leaving only the white bones of the forest.

At that time, the foot merchants were afraid that they would also be attacked by wild beasts, and they asked the martial artists to return to their original ways as soon as possible.

However, the martial artist insisted on using the warrior's robe to clean up the bones and bury them on the side of the road before returning to the original path with the foot merchant.

"You say, could it be that the owner of the skeleton is entangled with me?" said the martial artist.

The old monk frowned and said, "It won't be him, even if there is really a ghost, you buried the bones to save him from exposing the corpse wilderness, he should also be grateful to you, how could he entangle you?"

Yu Sheng looked back and saw the female ghost shaking her head violently, still wearing a martial arts robe, and said with a smile: "I think it's the owner of the bones." ”

"Then why did he entangle me, wouldn't he take revenge?" The martial artist obviously believed the old monk's words more.

Yu Sheng looked back at the female ghost and saw her hiding in the shadows of the inn, knowing that the old monk was powerful, but he still refused to leave.

So he said, "Perhaps, she has something to say to you." ”

"Master, please help me. The martial artist didn't care about the rest of his life and pleaded with the old monk.

The old monk looked up, saw Yu Sheng blocking his view, and glanced at Yu Sheng thoughtfully.

He said to the martial artist: "The monk still has a Dharma to do today, how about exorcizing the ghost tomorrow?"

The martial artist hesitated a little, and Yu Sheng said, "Don't worry, she won't pester you tonight." ”

The martial artist didn't believe him, and only looked at the old monk.

The old monk nodded and said, "Yes, with me in the inn, she doesn't dare to pester you." ”

The martial artist was relieved, thanked the old monk and entered the inn.

The old monk then said, "Shopkeeper, how do you determine that the ghost is the owner of the bones?"

"Because she must not be an evil spirit, otherwise the sword bag on the archway would not have let her into the town. Yu Sheng said.

"Instead of the evil spirit haunting him again, it must be the owner of the bones. ”

The old monk looked at the sword bag, turned around and asked the doubts in his heart, "Can the shopkeeper see it?"

Yu Shengqi said: "You can't see it?"

The old monk only felt that there was a foreign object. The old monk said.
