Chapter 9: Breaking Promises (3)

The Sleeping Starving Man

It's like watching a meal and having a look like, 'I know you want to ask, so come and ask now!' After this opportunity, the old lady didn't answer, and sat opposite Lingxi with the corners of her mouth twitching. Although I wanted to slap her when I looked at her nervousness, I finally couldn't hold back my inner curiosity and asked.

"Well, what the hell did you give that Yueyue food? When I was in the warehouse, I saw a pill on it... Uh, there's a face..."

Lingxi took a sip of sake, glanced at it with his eyes, and said softly and slowly: "In this world, except for death, nothing is quick. So, everything that goes quick comes at a high price. If she wants to be thinner, all she needs to do is be eaten by others, so what she swallows is a hungry ghost who hasn't woken up yet. ”

Looking at Lingxi's slightly meaningful eyes, he seemed to be a little nervous, not to mention what the principle of thinning is, just because Lingxi said the thing of starving ghosts, it seems to know that it is not a good thing. But what does it mean to have a starving ghost who hasn't woken up?

As if the expression of slight hesitation was seen by Lingxi, she took a sip of wine and continued: "The so-called not yet awakened is a way for all things in the world to sleep. For example, the baby that has not yet been born is still in the cocoon without a butterfly and flies to the chrysalis, and the pill is a starving ghost who has not yet woken up.

These things are not yet awakened, but they need nourishment and nourishment. Therefore, on the premise of not breaking the agreement, the starving ghost will always be in a state of sleep, even if she stays until she is old and dies naturally, as long as she does not break the agreement, the hungry ghost will continue to sleep in her body. ”

As if she hadn't forgotten the girl's greed and uncontrollability when she saw the fried food, she asked Lingxi weakly: "That... What if the agreement is broken? ”

The corners of Lingxi's mouth hooked a light smile, she couldn't tell whether it was mockery or indifference, she put down the wine glass and picked up the cigarette stick, took a puff gently, and watched the smoke ring float in front of her, Lingxi squinted and said: "When the hungry ghost wakes up, it will keep eating, if the host can't guarantee its appetite... Then, the next one to be eaten is the boarder. ”

It's like looking at a somewhat ethereal spirit rhino, and before you know it, a thin sweat has oozed from your back. She couldn't imagine that such a starving ghost with a twisted face would grow up, crawl out of that person's belly, and then gnaw her from the inside out...

It's like shaking a slightly trembling finger and trying to calm yourself down. She knew that everything had changed since she entered the store. Becoming intransmissible to human nature and despising life. But even though she knew that it was the result of the guest's breach of contract, and that they deserved it, as a human being, she still couldn't fully accept it.

"Then why... Sister Lingxi didn't charge a more favorable price? Although that bracelet is a little old, it is not a priceless object, why..."

Lingxi looked at the bracelet in the brocade box with deep meaning and said: "The texture of this bracelet itself is worthless, but after years of essence and blood feeding, it already has great spirituality. Presumably, this is a relic of one of her elders, so this object is a good thing. After all, high-quality jade is good, but psychic things need to be fed for a long time. ”

nodded as if he didn't understand, sure enough, Lingxi never made a loss-making deal, although the starving ghost is not an easy thing to obtain, but compared to the aura that needs to be cultivated by years and months of essence and blood, Lingxi is still sure to make a profit. And there are no special circumstances, everything that is sold as a wish in the store needs to be filled with one or more things. That's why the warehouse next to the store is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more things.

Lingxi's worried little face also moved her heart of compassion, and she said something to Timo, and then said to Wanru: "Remove the cutlery and bring the copper basin." ”

It's like I don't know what she's going to do, but think about what my deceased grandmother once said that the copper basin is a folk psychic vessel. Generally, weddings and funerals have to cross the brazier, or when encountering unlucky things, they will also cross the brazier to remove bad luck, and this brazier is a copper basin.

I don't know why, this copper basin has always been filled with clear water, even if no one pays attention to it for a few days or even a long time, it is still full of clear water, and not even a little dust has fallen.

As if carefully placing the copper basin in front of the spirit rhino, Teemo, who had been summoned out, also came back with a bang, but it carried a small burden on its back, which seemed to have a round thing in it. Lingxi untied the burden and opened it, as if he had just seen that there was a bronze mirror inside.

"Throughout the ages, bronze has some incredible power, the ancient bronze mirror needs to be covered with a scarf when not in use, can not be shown, that is because the bronze mirror can illuminate the world that human beings can't see. The bronze mirror is placed in a copper basin containing rootless water, and you can see everything you want to see at a specific moment. ”

Watching Lingxi put the bronze mirror into the copper basin containing clear water, for a while, the hall began to fill the hall with a white mist that emitted an inexplicable fragrance. And then, it was as if he saw that the bronze mirror that could only reflect the face of the spirit rhino slowly twisted, and after everything was still, Yueyue's figure was reflected in the bronze mirror!

It's like opening her mouth wide and she can't speak for a long time, although when she was a child, she often listened to her grandmother tell folk ghost stories, and there were some magical supernatural events, which she had the right to listen to as stories. But what she saw now did surprise her a little speechless.

Yueyue in the bronze mirror has returned to her home at this time, looking at Yueyue who keeps looking in the mirror in her room, it is obvious that she enjoys her thin appearance. Even the parents who went home confirmed it for a long time before they had to admit that the thin girl in front of them was their daughter.

And while she was happy, her mother made her a table of her favorite dishes to celebrate her weight loss success. Although she didn't know what reason she told her parents that she had lost weight in one day, at least her parents were more happy than confused.

But looking at the table of fried food and meat, it was like a chuckle in her heart, if she couldn't hold on to the first meal, once the starving ghost woke up, I don't know if it would hurt her parents. Yueyue looked at the food on the table, her eyes revealing an uncontrollable appetite, watching her stretch out her chopsticks to the delicious stewed chicken, as if her heart was in her throat at that time!
