Chapter 377: True and False Ghost Princess
Nalan Tianyue originally thought that if she wore back to the Central Plains Continent, she would lose her skills like last time, but she didn't expect that the child protected her soul at a critical moment, which allowed her to keep her skills.
Now that the child has fallen into a deep sleep, she must find the holy red lotus as soon as possible.
However, she has been away from the Central Plains Continent for too long, and she doesn't know how she is driving now, so she will invite a little ghost to come and ask after late at night.
Nalan Tianyue thought about it and fell asleep again, and it was already afternoon when she woke up again.
Aunt Niu's youngest daughter, Niu Siniang, walked in with a bowl of steaming egg custard, and said timidly to Nalan Tianyue: "Sister, my mother asked me to bring it to you to drink." ”
I saw that the gray broken bowl was filled with sparse egg custard, and the appearance was quite ugly.
But even so, Niu Siniang couldn't help licking her lips, her throat surging up and down, and she could see that this was already a rare delicacy for her.
"I'm not hungry, you can eat!" Nalan Tianyue is indeed not hungry, and she still has a lot of food in her bag, and she can open a small stove when there is no one.
"No, my mother said that you have a baby in your belly, and it's time to supplement nutrition." Niu Siniang shook her head resolutely, then put down the egg custard and ran away, for fear that she couldn't help it.
Nalan Tianyue looked at Niu Siniang's thin back, and secretly said that this child is a good one, and finally drank this bowl of egg custard with a slightly fishy smell.
The peasant family eats early, and so does the Niu family.
But the strange thing is that after they had eaten their supper in a hurry, they closed all the doors of the house before it was dark.
Then Aunt Niu spread a mat in Nalan Tianyue's house, apparently to take her two daughters to lay on the floor in her house.
Nalan Tianyue frowned slightly, there are several thatched huts in this Niu family, how can they squeeze here.
And they look like they're facing a great enemy, and they don't look like they're coming to sleep.
"Miss Nalan, you sleep with yours, don't worry about us." Aunt Niu laid out the mat, let Niu Erniang and Niu Siniang sleep in the innermost, and then began to tie red ropes to them.
"Aunt Niu, what are you doing?" Nalan Tianyue looked at the red rope tied to a ghost head, which was a spirit rope used to prevent children from losing their souls.
Niu Erniang is thirteen years old, and Niu Siniang is also ten years old, and she has long passed the age of losing her soul.
"I heard that the night wandering god has come out to catch girls again recently, so I have to be careful."
Aunt Niu lowered her head to tie a red rope for her two daughters, and did not forget to tell Nalan Tianyue, "Although the night wandering god only catches yellow flower girls, you must be careful yourself, and remember not to go out at night, so as not to commit any taboos." ”
"Night Wanderer, what the hell is that?" Nalan Tianyue frowned.
She knew that some unruly little ghosts would pretend to be night wanderers when they wanted to come out to make offerings, but they would never catch any yellow flower girls, that was something that only evil cultivators would do.
"Hey, we don't know what the hell it is, it's always a good idea to be careful." Aunt Niu sighed and said, "Our village is fine, I heard that several people have been captured in the next village, and when we found it, the soul was gone." ”
"Mother, don't say it, I'm afraid!" Niu Siniang hugged her sister's arm, and her little face turned white with fright.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is a mother here to protect you." Aunt Niu repeatedly checked the red ropes on the hands of the two girls, and after making sure that there was no problem, she pulled them to lie down.
Night fell quietly, and from time to time there was the sound of insects chirping and frogs chirping.
Aunt Niu and her two daughters had already fallen asleep, and they all slept very sweetly.
At this moment, a cold wind blew, and then a gray ghost shadow entered the room through the crack in the window, and when it landed, it became a blue-faced, fanged, slender little ghost.
The little ghost floated in front of the aunt of the Niu family and blew at her.
The aunt of the Niu family immediately let go of her hand holding her daughter, and spread it softly beside her.
The little ghost circled around Niu Erniang and Niu Sanniang, and then pointed a little towards their foreheads.
The two little girls sat up like marionettes, closed their eyes and followed the imp out of the room, and then walked up the hill.
At this time, a blood-red lantern floated in the depths of the mountain nest, emitting an eerie light.
Under the blood lanterns, there was a row of little girls, all dressed as little girls from the peasants.
The three blue-faced little ghosts were guarding in front of those little girls, and when they saw the slender ghost appearing with the two little girls, they immediately complained: "Chang Xi, why have you been there for so long, if you miss Granny Hua coming to collect the soul, be careful to be cleaned up by her." ”
"I've been to the previous villages, but I can't find any good seedlings, so I went farther this time." The slender ghost Changxi explained.
"Yes, we have almost caught it over there, and we can't find good seedlings if we don't go out."
"I'm even worse, I caught it too hard in that village before, and I almost attracted the ghost catcher."
A few imps got together and vomited bitter water.
At this time, Chang Xi hurriedly said: "Don't say it, Granny Hua is here." ”
The other imps immediately lowered their eyebrows, not daring to make a sound.
In the deepest part of the valley, a black whirlwind swept over, and when she landed, she became a short and fat woman, wearing a skirt embroidered with peony flowers on a black background, wearing a golden hairpin on her head, her fat face was greased and powdered, and her big mouth was covered with thick lipstick.
Although this fat woman looks like a matchmaker, her palms with a thick bloody aura still reveal her identity as an evil cultivator.
"The little one has seen Granny Hua!" A few imps saluted in awe.
Granny Hua twisted her fat waist and turned back and forth in front of the row of little girls, then raised her short and thick eyebrows dissatisfied, and shouted, "Why is it such a small person? ”
"Granny Hua, it's really too tight now, and we don't dare to catch too much." Chang Xi said with a sad face.
"Shut up!" As soon as Granny Hua shook her hand, she knocked Chang Xi out.
The other little ghosts hurriedly went to help Chang Xi, and when they saw that his ghost body was beaten to pieces, they immediately looked at Granny Hua angrily.
"What do you see, a group of garbage ghosts, they dare to talk in front of me, they can't complete the task assigned by the old lady, believe it or not, I took you to make fertilizer." Granny Hua put one hand on her waist and pointed at those little ghosts and scolded.
Those little ghosts all look like they dare to be angry but dare not speak.
After Granny Hua scolded enough, she took out a white jade bottle and said, "Next time it must be twice as much as this time, otherwise I will accept you." ”
After saying that, he planned to pinch the trick and prepare to take away the souls of these little girls.
It's just that before she finished the incantation, she suddenly rolled her eyes and collapsed to the ground limply.
Only then did the imps discover that there was a woman in red standing on Granny Hua, with a waterfall-like black hair scattered behind her.
The face of the melon seed is full of black scars left by burns, but a pair of phoenix eyes are shining, and the temperament exuded by the body also makes the ghost dare not underestimate it.
At this time, her white fingers were pinching Granny Hua's soul collection bottle, shook it, and then looked at a few little ghosts with a sneer and said, "You are really so bold, you are so unscrupulous to collect human souls, are you not afraid of being chased and killed by the Spirit and Ghost Alliance?" ”
The reason why the Central Plains Continent generally serves the spirits and ghosts is because the spirits and ghosts take the maintenance of the mainland as their own responsibility, and as long as they find that the evil cultivators persecute the people, they will hunt down and eradicate them.
If there are little ghosts who help the evil cultivators, they will also be beaten and scattered.
"The master spares his life, we don't want to help this evil cultivator, but the soul lamp was forcibly taken away by her, and she had to act for the tiger as a last resort, please the master to investigate!" A few imps knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Then you won't go to the Spirit Ghost League to report her?" Nalan Tianyue asked.
As long as these imps find the location of the Spirit and Ghost Alliance, there will be spirit ghosts to protect their soul lamps, and after killing the evil cultivators, they will help them retrieve the soul lamps.
When a few little ghosts heard Nalan Tianyue's words, they immediately looked at each other.
One of the ghosts, who looked the oldest, said cautiously: "Master, it's not that we don't want to report to the Spirit Ghost Alliance, but since the ghost princess betrayed the Spirit Ghost Alliance, now the alliance is in chaos, and many resident spirit ghosts are busy fighting for territory, and there are no ghosts to take care of these things." ”
"Which ghost princess betrayed the Spirit Ghost Alliance?" Nalan Tianyue couldn't help frowning, when did there be another ghost princess in the Central Plains Continent?
You must know that it took her three hundred years of heaven and earth aura to successfully advance to the position of a princess, how could a ghost princess emerge again.
"The master really likes to joke, in addition to Princess Nalan in our Central Plains Continent, there is also that spirit ghost who dares to call herself a ghost princess." Chang Xi couldn't help but say, he didn't know which mountain pimple this master came from, and he didn't even know the ghost princess.
"Which princess Nalan are you talking about?" Nalan Tianyue's brows furrowed even deeper, and a hint of foreboding surged in her heart.
"Naturally, it's Princess Nalan of the Gu family's ghost town." Chang Xi said as a matter of course.
Gu's ghost town? Princess Nalan?
Nalan Tianyue's pupils shrank suddenly, and his thoughts suddenly became a little confused.
Hasn't the Gu family's hard work been destroyed by her, how can it still be turned into a ghost cultivator?
And the ghost princess who pretended to be herself, who is sacred?
Chang Xi saw that Nalan Tianyue's expression was wrong, thinking that he had offended her by accidentally saying the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "Master, in fact, this flower mother-in-law was entrusted by Gu Jiacheng to collect souls and go back to raise flowers, it's really none of our business!" ”
Nalan Tianyue came back to her senses, looked at the soul collection bottle in her hand and said, "What kind of flowers does Gu Jiacheng want to raise, and it actually needs to be nourished by the soul?" ”
"We don't know." A few imps hurriedly shook their heads.
Nalan Tianyue suddenly pondered, this Central Plains Continent is full of weirdness, it would be nice if she could sneak into Gujia City to find out the news, but how can she sneak in safely?
Nalan Tianyue thought, and couldn't help but cast her eyes on a few little ghosts.
A few imps snorted, and their faces became even more frightened.
"How about you help me do something, and I'll help you get the soul lamp back?" Nalan Tianyue asked.
"Master, please speak!" A few imps hurriedly said.
"I want to go to Gujiacheng to raise flowers instead of Granny Hua, how can I get in?" Nalan Tianyue asked.
