Chapter 10: Black Dirt Road
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai were terrified, looking at the wandering spirits in the road.
These spirits, as if they were not aware of the existence of Liu Laosan and Ah Hai at all, occasionally one or two spirits raised their heads, and only glanced at the two of them lightly, and then immersed themselves in their own world again.
The thinking mode of the wandering soul is simple, unlike the living, many wandering spirits only have a simple thought, that is, waiting for black and white impermanence, to come and lead themselves to the Huangquan Road to hell.
This black dirt road is endless, and I don't know how far to go.
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai trembled along the way, but fortunately, nothing strange happened.
After a while, I only saw a wandering soul not far ahead, up and down the body, glowing with a faint green light, and in his eyes, it seemed to be shining with fine light, and the moment he saw Liu Laosan and Ah Hai, he seemed to touch something, and floated towards the two of them.
When Liu Laosan and Ah Hai saw each other, they were so frightened that they almost couldn't stand on their feet.
After a while, the geist appeared in front of the two of them, blocking their way forward, and there seemed to be some ferocity in their eyes.
Liu Laosan's eyes were terrified, and he only saw that this wandering soul was thin and thin, and his clothes were ragged, and he looked like a flower child, and he estimated that he was a beggar before his death.
"Lao Liu...... This...... Hurry up and give the eggs ......" Ah Hai on the side, his lips trembled and said.
Thinking of what Fang Xuan had said, the two of them naturally didn't dare to slack off.
Lao Liu hurriedly took out an egg from the basket he was carrying and handed it forward.
The wandering soul was slightly stunned, and the gaze that originally looked at Liu Laosan and Ah Hai seemed to be much gentler, and slowly stretched out his hand to take the egg in Liu Laosan's hand.
The moment his hand touched Liu Laosan's palm, Liu Laosan couldn't help but tremble, only feeling a cold chill, which seemed to spread from his palm to his body.
At this time, Liu Laosan and Ah Hai were out of the body, and they were no different from ordinary wandering souls, but they ...... Only some profound wandering spirits can see the origin of Liu Laosan and Ah Hai, and ordinary wandering spirits will only regard Liu Laosan and Ah Hai as the same kind.
After taking the egg, the geist did not hesitate at all, and sent the jealousy in his hand to his mouth.
A huge egg, without even peeling the shell, was directly put into the geist's mouth.
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai widened their eyes in horror and gasped.
The geist chewed the jealousy in his mouth, and made a "click, click, click" sound, which was extremely weird, and his face was hideous and distorted, as if he had not eaten for a long time.
Such a starving ghost, if there is something to eat, how can he let it go?
After a while, the spirit finished eating the eggs, but it still didn't give way, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked at Liu Laosan and Ah Hai again.
"This ......" Ah Hai's face changed, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and took out an egg from his basket and handed it forward.
The two of them have lived for most of their lives, and this time it can be regarded as an eye-opener, they were robbed by the geist.
The point is, this ...... Can't resist yet.
The geist took the egg again and put it in his mouth, a look of great satisfaction on his face, and nodded his head incessantly.
After eating the eggs, the geist turned around in satisfaction and left.
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai glanced at each other and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They were really afraid of this wandering spirit, and ate all the eggs in the basket of the two of them in one go.
If that's the case, I'm afraid that if they encounter this kind of ghost again, there will be nothing to dispel them.
"Oops...... Hurry up, the wandering spirit who led the way, I don't know if it will wait for us......"
Liu Laosan suddenly trembled, as if he thought of something, patted his thigh, and hurriedly said.
Ah Hai also came to his senses, and the two hurried away.
Fortunately, the wandering spirit in front of him who led the way seemed to know that Liu Laosan and Ah Hai had been stopped, and they were waiting for Liu Laosan and Ah Hai not far ahead.
When they saw the wandering spirit, Liu Laosan and Ah Hai were relieved.
"If you want me to say...... This geist is so sensible...... The eggs in this basket should be fed to it...... "Ah Hai said.
Liu Laosan responded: "I guess he won't eat it...... After all, it's not a starving ghost...... Stop talking nonsense...... Hurry up and catch up with ......"
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai are quite bold, and they are not surprised by these wandering spirits.
After following the wandering spirit in front of him, he walked for about a quarter of an hour, only to see two forks in the road not far ahead.
The geist stood at the intersection of the fork in the road and suddenly stopped.
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai were also stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
This......
Suddenly there are two paths, how do you go about this?
The geist seemed to be confused, and for a moment, he didn't know how to choose.
At this moment, on the side of the road, another spirit suddenly appeared.
This wandering spirit was an old woman, with a kind face, looking about seventy or eighty years old, wearing a black robe, with her back bent, carrying a flat pole, carrying goods at both ends, trembling, to the side, stopped her figure, put down the burden, and said in a quiet voice: "Three, buy something?" ”
It's okay that she didn't speak, but as soon as she spoke, she suddenly startled Liu Laosan and Ah Hai again.
Along the way, although there were many geismos, I didn't see any geists speak, but this old woman actually spoke.
The old woman's voice was exceptionally clear, her eyes were blazing, staring straight at Liu Laosan and Ah Hai.
The faces of the two changed, and they looked at each other.
"Lao Liu...... This...... Why don't you ask this old woman? Ah Hai seemed to think of something and spoke.
Liu Laosan took a deep breath, strengthened his courage, nodded, stepped forward, saluted, and said: "Old woman, we are here, we have no intention of disturbing, we have important things to do, I don't know which of the two roads in front of us leads to the Lingcha Mansion?" ”
When the old woman heard this, she had a faint smile on her face, but she didn't rush to answer Liu Laosan's question, but just said again: "Buy something, right?" ”
Yes, now Liu Laosan and Ah Hai are clear.
If you ask for directions, you have to buy something first.
There is no difference between the world of wandering spirits and the world of living people.
Liu Laosan glanced at the goods in front of the old woman, and asked, "What do you have for sale?" ”
"Beef, beans, roasted sweet potatoes." The old woman said lightly.
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai frowned and were stunned.
Thinking of what Fang Xuan had said before, along the way, if he met someone who was selling, he would buy some, and when he arrived at the Lingcha Mansion, he would offer the things he bought to the Lingcha.
Liu Laosan hurriedly asked, "How do you sell these foods?" ”
"Three copper plates for beef, one pound for beans, two copper plates for sweet potatoes...... said with a smile.
"Bring me a beef, a bean, and a sweet potato!" Liu Laosan said it and hurriedly took out the money.
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai each had five copper coins in their baskets, which happened to be ...... Liu Laosan took out all the five copper coins in his basket and exchanged them for a pound of beef, a pound of beans and a pound of sweet potatoes.
After putting away the things, Liu Laosan asked with a smile: "Old woman, can you tell us now which road leads to the Lingcha Mansion, right?" ”
When the old woman heard this, she smiled even more, narrowed her eyes, shook her head, and said, "Or...... Buy some more, shall we? ”
