Chapter 393: Snatching a meal
With that, we each turned over and got ready to rest and sleep. This time, it was Li Yao who fell asleep before me, and I lay there for a long time before falling asleep little by little.
Early the next morning, Li Yao and I left the cave. Along the way, it was still me who carried Li Yao on my back. Today's Li Yao is obviously more open than yesterday, and as soon as it came to my back today, Li Yao directly stretched out her hands and hugged my neck.
"Uncle, how long do we have to get there? Isn't it OK today? Li Yao asked on my back.
I glanced into the distance, and then I opened my mouth and said, "I don't know, we still have to take a walk." Because there was too much time to delay, and the time for us to hurry was not fast, I feel that we will have to at least tomorrow. ”
Li Yao nodded after hearing this, and then stopped talking. And I still carried her on my back and walked towards the front room without saying a word.
Towards evening, Qingyao and I passed by a hillside. At the bottom of the hillside, I saw a lot of tables, chairs and benches. On the table, there is a variety of food. Looking closely, I saw that there were dozens of these tables. There are also a lot of torches around the table, and the surrounding area of the table is very bright.
On the periphery of these tables, there are also a lot of spirit flags. There was still a lot of paper money on the ground, and this battle looked particularly scary.
"Hurry up, this is not the place we can stay. Hurry up and leave Uncle, listen to me. Li Yao looked at me nervously and said.
After listening to Li Yao's words, I was very curious, isn't this just inviting a dead man to dinner, it's nothing. I guess it's a village near here, so let's go to the lonely ghosts around here.
I smiled and said, "It's okay, it's a pity not to eat so much good wine and food." There wasn't anyone anyway, and I thought we were going to have a meal here, and I was going to be hungry. ”
As I spoke, I carried Li Yao on my back and walked in the direction of those tables.
"Don't, uncle, these meals are not for people. I've heard that it's for the ghosts of the neighborhood to eat. If the living eat it, those lonely souls and wild ghosts will haunt that person, and then life will be worse than death. Li Yao hurriedly said again.
"It's okay, I won't have any problems eating it. Moreover, where did so many lonely souls and wild ghosts come from, don't scare yourself. With that, my pace quickened a little more.
Soon after, I was at the dinner tables. I glanced at each table and I saw that the food at each table was pretty much the same. And these meals are still warm, and it seems that they have not been served for a long time.
I directly found a table and made it, while Li Yao cautiously looked around. I didn't dare to sit down, and my body was still a little shaky.
"Sit down and eat." I took a bite of the dish and said as I ate it.
Li Yao shook his head and said, "I don't eat it, I advise you not to eat this thing, this place is weird and scary, let's leave quickly." ”
I shook my head: "Don't, don't, when I'm full of food and drink, I advise you to eat quickly, otherwise I won't care if you're hungry for a while." ”
As I spoke, I pushed the dish in front of Li Yao. Li Yao subconsciously shook her head, saying that she wouldn't eat these things.
I didn't care about it as a human being, I still ate my own. I took a sip of wine, and I have to say, it's really good. I smiled and thought to myself that the people in this village were really generous.
As time passed bit by bit, Li Yao finally couldn't stand it anymore. Maybe it was because it was so delicious to watch me eat, and she finally ate it. In the end, she didn't look much better than I did.
Just as we were halfway through our meal, a gust of wind blew. I know it's the guests here.
The corners of my mouth curled, and I didn't pay attention to the gust of wind. I just ate something, and as long as it doesn't provoke me, I don't think I'm going to do anything to him.
Then, I took another piece of chicken thigh and put it in my mouth.
Just halfway through the drumsticks, a ghost sat next to me. And kept staring at me, his face full of anger.
Naturally, I didn't pay attention to him, and I kept eating.
Finally, the ghost emitted a yin aura and enveloped himself. When the yin qi dispersed, his appearance changed.
I saw that there was no longer a piece of good meat on the ghost's face, and a part of the top of the head, Geng Zhi directly saw the skull. There is also a part of this hair that grows. The way he looks, it's how disgusting and disgusting it is.
Then the ghost reached out and patted me on both shoulders. I don't have to think about it to know that this thing is going to open my eyes so that I can see him. But he didn't know that I was a Taoist priest, and I had opened the Eye of Heaven and could see him.
Just as the ghost's hand was about to touch me, I turned my head to look at the ghost and shouted angrily: "Get out of the way, I didn't see Lao Tzu eating, it's so disgusting, and I don't let Lao Tzu eat." ”
When I finished my sentence, the ghost froze in place. He glanced behind him, but saw that there was no one left or right, and then looked at me again.
When I saw the ghost's confused look, I stretched out my hand and pointed at the ghost and said, "Look at the fart, I'm talking about you." ”
"Uncle, who are you talking to? You...... Don't scare me? Li Yao looked at me with a frightened expression.
Even the food in her mouth didn't continue to chew.
"You...... Can you see me? The ghost asked, looking at me in disbelief.
I sighed helplessly and said, "Nonsense, is it possible for Lao Tzu to still talk to the air?" You're the only one here, is there anything else? ”
After hearing what I said, the ghost became even more unsettled, and then got up and looked at me vigilantly and asked, "Who are you?" How can you see me? ”
Li Yao was even more unsettled at this time, because she didn't open the eye of the sky, so she saw me as if she was talking to the air. Combined with the current occasion, she was even more scared.
"Ah......" Li Yao shouted, got up directly and rushed around the table and rushed into my arms.
I was staring at that ghost, but Li Yao's sudden appearance startled me. When I came back to my senses, I saw Li Yao trembling in my arms, and her eyes were still tightly closed.
"Li Yao, don't look like this. It's nothing, don't be afraid. I said hurriedly.
And tried to push Li Yao away with his hand. But I never expected that the more I pushed Li Yao, the tighter Li Yao would be.
By this time, it was already completely dark, and only a full moon hung in the sky.
"If you want to eat together, I don't object to you, but don't look like this. If you do this again, I will beat you so that you will never turn over. I slowly looked up at the ghost not far away.
The ghost also realized that I was not an ordinary person at this time, but he still did not take me to heart, but was ready to attack me.
"What are you doing here? Big brother, we can't wait, let you come over and see, why haven't you moved. Just as the ghost was about to make a move, another voice suddenly came.
My foolish man turned his head together and looked in the direction of the sound. I saw another ghost, not far away. The ghost was dressed in gray, and his face was even pale. But for most ghosts, he still looks a little like a human. Looking at the yin qi on his body, I knew that this ghost was not that kind of evil ghost.
Because the yin qi in his body is too little. It's just more than a normal ghost, but he doesn't have any resentment on his body, which makes me curious, I think he must have just died.
"Third brother, there is a living person here who can see me. I guess it's a Taoist priest, and I'm trying to get rid of him. The ghost looked at the gray-clad ghost and said.
The gray-clad ghost glanced at me, then slowly walked up to me and gave me a slight salute.
"You see us?" The grey ghost looked at me and asked.
I nodded and said, "You ghost is a little interesting, much better than that guy." But I also want to say something about you, why do you say you are asking this nonsense, didn't you just hear him say? ”
After hearing this, the gray-clothed ghost smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, my brother is just too reckless, and I want to take care of what I offend." It's just today's matter, I hope the Taoist will show mercy. ”
I glanced at him and said, "I didn't think about anything, I was here to eat something." I know I ate you, but it's good to sit down and eat this thing together, and make friends. This kid is going to scare Lao Tzu when he comes, what am I? Originally, if he sat down to eat, I wouldn't say anything, and he would give out a share, so it would be too much to scare me. ”
As I spoke, I looked at the ghost from earlier. The ghost listened to me, obviously unconvinced. But he seemed to be very afraid of the gray-clothed ghost, so he had to obediently close his mouth and say nothing.
"It's our fault, this table of food should be an apology to the Taoist chief. Even if we make a friend, we usually move around here, and if the Taoist chief has something to do in the future, just come to me directly. The grey ghost looked at me and said.
I watched the ghost in gray speak quite well, and I saw that he was a knowledgeable person before he died.
Since he has already given me face, I naturally can't give face to me.
"Okay, with your words, I feel much more comfortable." I looked at the gray ghost and laughed.
Then, step by step, I walked to the table. During this period, Li Yao always hugged me tightly and didn't let go. It was so difficult for me to walk, and on several occasions I almost fell to the ground.
As I walked, the grey ghost had left the ghost. I guess I should have called the rest of the ghosts, but they should have come here to eat, and it shouldn't be very likely that they should be looking for me, I thought.
"Hey, I said Miss Li, haven't you hugged enough?" I looked down at Li Yao, who was holding me, and asked.
After Li Yao heard this, she suddenly let go of her hand, but she was still sitting next to me.
"You...... Who the hell are you talking to? Li Yao looked at me and asked.
I smiled and said, "There is no one here, who else do you think I can talk to, it is naturally those lonely ghosts." But it's nothing, we just eat ours. ”
"Ghosts? Can you see ghosts? Is there really a ghost in this world? Li Yao looked at me and asked.
I smiled and said, "You don't even know if you have one, so what are you afraid of?" I thought you had seen ghosts, so I was scared. ”
"I didn't ...... I'm scared if I haven't seen it before, and it's like this here, how can you not make me afraid. Li Yao said as she looked around.
