Chapter Eighty-Seven: Seeking Skin with Ghosts
Probably because of Sister-in-law Gu's wail, I saw that the ghosts around here disappeared without a trace in an instant.
I'm surprised, since this is a place where ghosts live, what if someone really breaks in.
"Squeak squeak...... "I suddenly felt my scalp tingle when I heard this sound, mouse!
Only the yellow-colored road has street lamps on both sides, and I can see things clearly, but now I am standing outside the grass, although there is light, but it is very blurry, and I can only hear the cry of a mouse, and I can't tell where the mouse is, or whether this thing is a mouse or not, I don't know if it is a mouse.
So I was going to run to the side of the road, where there was light, the colors were brighter, and the place was open, so that even if it was a mouse, I could see it clearly.
Without further hesitation, I walked four or five steps and stood on the earthy yellow pavement.
Standing here, looking at the inside of the town, it is much clearer, this is an antique town, the houses are all wooden structures, very few will be brick structures, the overall look is still relatively new, it is only for the new and old degree of new, of course, it is different from the new buildings of our time.
At the end of my line of sight, some black figures slowly appeared, no, it should be ghosts, they were gradually approaching me, approaching this wall, they were not walking fast, but they were really walking towards me.
So these ghosts are coming to get me? I don't know how to deal with these ghosts now, but everything is still fine, if that guy Wu Qian doesn't come out, I'm going to leave first!
"That's him! That Taoist priest! "When I was wary of these ghosts, I also clenched the bell in my hand, Wu Qian said that this thing can't be easily shown, especially in front of this ghost, I heard that you can't call people in front of ghosts, that will be entangled by ghosts, I don't want to make trouble for Wu Qian, although that guy may not be afraid of these troubles at all.
"Get him out!" Behind that wall, the ghosts stopped, and there was really no shadow of them.
"You guys are okay, I don't offend people if they don't offend me, I just wait for people outside here, I didn't say I wanted to go in, what are you doing with me as an enemy." I copied my hands, but I decided to explain to this group of ghosts, mainly because I wanted to delay the time until Wu Qian came back.
"We don't welcome Taoist priests here!" Sister-in-law Gu shouted.
I glanced at the weird-looking sister-in-law Gu, she was fanning the flames with the appearance of a shrew, "I didn't come in again, you said you are a sister-in-law Gu, I won't just destroy you a weird-looking pheasant, or that thing ran towards me by itself, who is to blame, I didn't provoke it." ”
"You, it's reasonable for you to kill my pheasant!" Sister-in-law Gu stared, I see, she is going to fall out of her eyes, but now the situation is almost the same.
An old man also listened impatiently, "Gu Mingrong, is it really just a pheasant?" ”
I looked up, this short old man with a white beard who looked almost eighty years old, looked quite like the patriarch in the TV series, and nine times out of ten he was the leader of this group of ghosts, or could it be the mayor of this ghost town in Shunyi?
"Yes, old man, it was her pheasant who came over by himself, and I destroyed it unintentionally." I spread my hands.
Sister-in-law Gu was shocked by the momentum of this old man, and she wanted to say something, but I saw her nodding her head, and her head was like the head of an electric fan, which could be broken to her chest, and my eyelids jumped when I saw it.
Seeing this situation, these are all genuine ghosts, don't look at me now I look as stable as an old dog, in fact, I am panicked in my heart, I wish Wu Qian would appear soon, and then leave this ghost place.
"Daoist, are you from Shunyi? Do you know the Taoist? The old man ignored the sister-in-law Gu, but stared at me.
His eyes are very bright, and his whole appearance looks like that of a normal person.
I looked at the old man and said slowly, "Yes." ”
I don't want to explain too much to the old man, and the Taoist priest he is talking about may be Wu Qian.
"The young man is so bold," the old man stroked his beard, "I also believe that you will not do anything to hurt us, I don't know where the Taoist is." ”
"I don't know," I shook my head, "I just came to see if he wasn't there." ”
I admire myself and talk nonsense.
"Hehe, it seems that you are coming to us for the first time, and you don't know our rules." The old man suddenly became stern, and I could feel a gust of wind blowing out of the town, "Anyone who does not follow our rules here will either lose money or die." ”
"It's going to be a loss, it's not just a pheasant." I waved my hand, "Hey, your old man also knows that this is my first time here, and you won't make it clear to me first, if I really die here, won't I become a ghost who died unjustly, you are immoral like this, very bad." ”
"And what kind of pheasant, and it wasn't intentional, could it be that any one of you stole this pheasant, or you still want to kill him, I see, you are just bullying me This is the first time you have come, and you think that I am a little Taoist priest who is easy to bully!" I stood on tiptoe, but I still couldn't see Wu Qian.
"Good boy, can you really say, then according to what you say, remember your first offense, and spare you once," the old man touched his beard, and the yin wind suddenly disappeared, and I was relieved, it seems that this old man is not going to embarrass me.
Unexpectedly, the old man continued to speak, "Gu Mingrong, how much money do you say he should pay you." ”
Sister-in-law Gu copied her hand and snorted coldly, "Heh, my pheasant is a native of me, and it took a lot of effort to catch it, and plus the travel expenses to come here, I won't do it without three thousand." ”
"Three thousand?!" I was dumbfounded, "Sister-in-law Gu, aren't you cheating on me, that chicken is worth three thousand!" ”
The old man waved his hand, "Young man, don't worry, these three thousand are just a few yuan or a dozen yuan for you, and our consumption here is different from yours." ”
That's when I felt a little at ease.
"Old man, you are really a good person, phew, ghosts, and you, I don't think you are a bad ghost, as long as you don't violate morality, you can come to me, and you will definitely help if you can." I patted my chest, "Sister-in-law Gu's money, I'll pay her back when I'm free." ”
"Hahaha, young man, you are really interesting, I have never seen such a generous Taoist priest, and your master never told you to keep your distance from ghosts." Chang Laosan also spoke, "But I see that you are so ugly, you must be very bad in the human world, I heard that many people in this human world now rely on their faces to eat, look at you like this, forget it, I don't expect to get rich with you." ”
"Hahaha" Okay, these ghosts started to laugh at me unscrupulously.
"Laugh and laugh, you ghosts will laugh too," I shook my hand, "Although I have been killed by ghosts many times, I still think that ghosts are good and evil, and I am also accumulating virtue?" ”
"It's funny, it's funny." Even Sister-in-law Gu laughed, Chang Laosan's chin fell off again, and he pretended to be casual and picked it up and put it back.
"Hey, I've found you." At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew in my ears, and the voice was the little girl named Fu Yan.
Didn't Wu Qian arrest her!
"Ghosts! Ghost! "Sister-in-law Gu, they started to make noise again, but they seemed to be even more surprised to see Fu Yan than to see me.
Ghosts are also afraid of ghosts?
I suddenly remembered that the man in black I had always met a few days ago, the kind of person called the ghost feeder, who wanted to devour other ghosts.
Could it be that this Fu Yan is too?
I turned my head to face the hair-covered face.
This little girl's hair volume is quite touching, and although I think so, my body is still subconsciously dodging to the side.
Fu Yanyin smiled, but her hand grabbed at my neck, and her movements were so fast that I almost lost the perception of her hand.
However, she really disappeared from under my nose, and I felt a chill behind me.
Suffer, she's behind my back!
Okay, this Fu Yan really likes to choke her neck, but before I could feel the suffocation, she was already bounced away.
I subconsciously covered my neck and stared at the little female ghost on the ground viciously, "Fu Yan, what are you doing to keep catching me!" ”
