Chapter Twenty-Eight: Soul Attraction Grass
The corners of Li Xiruo's lips were slightly hooked when she saw the big-bellied woman, as if such a scene was what she wanted to see, although she was a little embarrassed, she was still very happy, she didn't care about the frightened Xiaocui beside her, and said to the chef who was shrunk in the corner of the wall trembling: "What's going on?" ”
The cook was already terrified, though he had heard that the restaurant was haunted, and he could hear ghost screams and the like every night. But he is full of yang energy, and he is bold, as long as there is no danger, he is not afraid, and he is not afraid to be a chef here, and for the sake of money, he can completely accept it if he hears what the ghost is called.
But he never dreamed that he would see a living ghost in the kitchen today, yes, standing in front of him. Although the ghost didn't come to him to ask for his life, the feeling of fear did not diminish in the slightest, and he didn't know when the ghost would change his mind and suddenly attack himself.
In order to survive, he could only shrink in the corner and try to reduce his sense of existence, hoping that the female ghost could forget his existence and leave quickly. At the same time, I thought that if I could escape the catastrophe, I would definitely resign immediately, and I would no longer be greedy for this cheap salary.
When the chef Lao Zhao heard Li Xiruo speak, he suddenly found a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl standing at the door, beautiful and refined, like a fairy. Lao Zhao was a little shaken, could this girl really be a fairy? Otherwise, how could I see a female ghost and not be afraid, and ask myself what happened?
However, no matter how bold Lao Zhao was, he didn't dare to chat with people in front of female ghosts. He shrunk his neck more and more, lowered his sense of presence, and ignored Li Xiruo's words. As for Xiao Cui standing at the door, he could only say that he was a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult for him to protect himself, and he really couldn't care about the life and death of others.
Li Xiruo's words woke up Xiao Cui on the side, her face turned pale with fright, and she trembled: "Ghost...... Ghost ......" Xiao Cui now wanted to run outside without looking back, but she was frightened by this hellish scene, she felt that her legs were weak, she couldn't use any strength, and there was no way to take a step and run outside.
The big-bellied female ghost didn't seem to see the screaming Xiao Cui, she only fixed her eyes on Li Xiruo, and looked at it for a long time before saying, "Master, you are a master of Taoism, right?" ”
Li Xiruo looked at the female ghost in front of her, recalled the pricing on the menu when she ordered just now, and her mood was much happier, and a smile bloomed on her face: "Yes." Are you looking for me? ”
The big-bellied female ghost saw Li Xiruo admitting it, and saw the faint golden halo that appeared around Li Xiruo's body, and knelt on the ground with a puff: "Master, please, save my child." ”
Li Xiruo lowered her eyes and swept towards the belly of the female ghost, and after looking at the male fetus that had been formed in the belly but was suffocated alive in the belly, she couldn't help but put away the smile on her face, and her expression gradually became serious.
If Li Xi is not a virgin, she is indifferent to people who have nothing to do with her. Therefore, although she had known that this woman had been killed in vain, she did not have much sympathy for this woman. On the contrary, he looked at this scene in a good mood, thinking about how much he could get paid for helping the hotel solve the haunted matter.
That's right, the reason why Li Xiruo insisted on coming to the kitchen was not because she had to eat any pastries tonight, but because she sensed the yin qi here, and planned to find a reason to let the boss here ask her for help, so as to get a high reward. She was short of money, very short of money, and she didn't want to let go of any opportunity to make money.
But seeing that the child who had taken shape and had a chance to come to this world was suffocated to death in his stomach, Li Xiruo's good mood no longer existed. With Li Xiruo's physiognomy and looking at the face of the female ghost, you can guess how the female ghost died, and you can also speculate the cause of the child's death.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiruo's face became serious. For the sake of money, in order to achieve her own goals, it is not impossible for her to occasionally do a little bad thing. For example, help the boss solve the female ghost who has a grudge against them, after all, people should go to the underworld after death. This boss has harmed them, and after his death, he will judge them for their due crimes, and it is not a shame for her to solve this female ghost.
But when I saw that child, I never had a chance to reincarnate again. A wave of anger rose in Li Xiruo's heart. The child is different from this female ghost, although he has been formed, he has not been born, his soul is incomplete, not to mention that there is no way to reincarnate, that is, he is reincarnated, his soul is incomplete, and he will be a fool in the next life. Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, how can this child's father and grandmother be so vicious?
Now this female ghost really killed the family in front of herself, Li Xiruo is not ready to make a move, although she is short of money, but she has no conscience to earn money.
Li Xiruo's face was as cold as ice, and he slowly walked to the female ghost, looked at her stomach, shook his head and said, "It's not that it can't be saved, it's just that it's too difficult." Without Soul Attraction Grass, it would be impossible. ”
The female ghost was shocked at first, and then said urgently: "Master, where can I find the Soul Attracting Grass, I will look for it, I will definitely find it, please save this child." ”
Li Xiruo saw that the female ghost's anxious soul was unstable, and the whole person exuded bursts of anger, and suddenly felt a little envious in his heart. It is said that parents in the world are pitiful, and mothers will love their children, but why is their mother so ruthless? is willing to see himself being sold to that kind of dirty place, life is better than death. If it weren't for the master's rescue, she would probably have ruined her life.
A wisp of anger also appeared on Li Xiruo's body, but that wisp of anger was quickly suppressed by her. Because she thought of her master, if something happened to her and her soul was not complete, her master would definitely be so nervous about herself. In this world, Master is the best person for herself and the only salvation in her life.
Maybe it was because he thought of his master, Li Xiruo's heart softened for a moment, and he said to the female ghost: "With the soul attraction grass, and then I cast a spell, I can retrieve the soul of the child who dissipated in heaven and earth because he failed to make a successful move." It's just that the soul-attracting grass is not easy to find, and your current identity is no longer suitable for staying in the yang world, otherwise you will completely become a powerful ghost and cannot be reincarnated again. ”
The female ghost touched her stomach, thinking of the child crying beside her every night, her red eyes and said, "I want to stay and save the child." ”
Li Xiruo didn't speak, only quietly looked at the beautiful female ghost in front of her. To be honest, Li Xiruo thinks that this female ghost is very stupid, a child who has not yet been born and does not have much affection, why should he pay for his eternal life for the sake of the child? What's more, it's still a scumbag child. It's just that although she doesn't agree with the actions of the female ghost, she has to admit that deep down she has respect for the female ghost's behavior.
Li Xiruo thought for a while, and raised his voice to his side: "Guoguo, transform into the appearance of a soul-attracting grass, show this lady." ”
As Li Xiruo's words fell, a white and chubby little doll appeared out of thin air, the little doll responded with a smile, and the light in her body flashed, and it turned into a green grass and floated in mid-air.
Xu Lu knew that Li Xiruo was followed by a goblin she subdued, but Chen Jiaqi didn't know, her face turned green when she saw this scene. Not to mention Xiao Cui and Lao Zhao, who had just been frightened by the female ghost, were about to fly, thinking that this later woman was probably not a fairy, but a goblin?
The female ghost is not afraid, she has been looking for a great cultivator with Taoism since she became a ghost, hoping to save the child in her womb. So from the moment Li Xiruo came in, she noticed Li Xiruo's unusualness, as well as the faint demonic aura beside her. Although she was just a yin spirit, she didn't have any cultivation, and she couldn't tell what that demonic aura was, but she knew that it must not be simple.
So when she turned into a soul-attracting grass, she was not only not afraid, not surprised, but faintly excited, she knew that if Li Xi could subdue such a goblin by her side, she would definitely be more capable. As long as you find this soul-attracting grass yourself, the child will definitely be saved.
The female ghost Zhen Ming suppressed her excitement, looked at the soul-attracting grass conjured up by Guoguo, and after carefully observing it, she suddenly became ecstatic: "Master, there are a lot of this kind of grass in our village!" ”
Li Xiruo: "??? ”
Li Xiruo looked confused, suspecting that he had heard it wrong. This soul-attracting grass was also a rare thing in the Tang Dynasty, and although it was not a gathering of three souls and seven spirits, it was not much worse. Therefore, the Soul Attraction Grass is very rare, and most of them grow in the land of the Gathering Yin, and it is rare for the living to get it. It's like Chinese cabbage, it's everywhere in the village, so what's going on?
Li Xiruo turned his head to look at the soul-attracting grass that Guoguo had turned into, and confirmed that there was no discrepancy in appearance, before he wondered: "Take a closer look, there are a lot of this kind of grass in your village?" ”
Zhen Ming looked at it carefully for a long time before nodding affirmatively: "It's true, master." There are ten miles of mountains behind our village, and it is said that there are ghosts and ghosts in the mountains. During the famine, we would go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms to satisfy our hunger, and we saw this kind of grass in the mountains, and there were many strange grasses. However, these grasses grow deep in the mountains, and the old people in the village say that if they go in, they will die, so we only dare to look at them from a distance, and we dare not go in to pick them. ”
Li Xiruo's eyes flashed with a different color, ten miles of mountains, ghosts haunted. It is in line with some of the characteristics of the Yin Land. If it is really like what Zhen Ming said, then there may be more than just soul-attracting herbs in these ten-mile mountains, but there may also be other cherished herbs, such as the herbs needed for immortality.
Li Xiruo's eyes flashed when she looked at Zhen Ming, and the corners of her mouth also brought a smile: "In this case, you take me to the ten-mile mountain to see, if it is really a soul-attracting grass, I can also save your child as soon as possible, maybe I can catch up with you to reincarnate, so that your mother and son can be reincarnated together." ”
Zhen Ming was overjoyed when she heard this, and her eyes were full of gratitude when she looked at Li Xiruo.
