Chapter 140: Soul Sparrow
"Lin Xi, thank you! It's me who is pedantic, and now the lives of the people are much better than our Great Song Dynasty! As long as the people are doing well, what does it matter if there is an emperor in which dynasty? Zhao Huan smiled and shook his head, "Lin Xi, I feel like I'm about to break through, you let me go back to the Soul Gathering Bead!" ”
In the early morning, the sound of birds chirping outside the window pulled me back from my sleep to reality. In a trance, I thought I was still at Li Xiang's house in Changshi. It wasn't until I saw the bedrail carved with flowers on the other side that I realized I was in a ghost capital.
How can this ghost have a bird's call? I opened the window in confusion and saw a few dark gray birds parked on the bamboo tips outside, this bird was very strange-looking, with a large head and a small body, and a beak as flat as a duck's beak. But the cry was like that of a sparrow, chirping.
I tilted my head curiously at the strange-looking birds, who also tilted their heads and looked at me curiously with their round eyes open.
"Lin Xi, this bird is called the Soul Sparrow, only in the Ghost Domain!" Huang Sier spoke up to solve my doubts.
"Soul Sparrow?" This bird is called the soul sparrow, is it related to ghosts?
"This soul finch is indeed related to ghosts, they live by sucking raw souls, and where the ghost finches sing, they will die!" Huang Sier didn't seem to like the soul sparrow very much, and there was a deep disgust in his tone.
"Then they just ......" I was stunned and pointed to a few soul finches outside the window, a chill rose in my heart, I was woken up by their cries just now! Could it be ......
"Lin Xi, don't worry! Just now, it was the soul sparrow calling, not singing! The voice of the soul sparrow singing is...... Forget it, I hope you will never hear the singing of the soul sparrow in your life! Huang Sier said stupidly.
I also wish I never heard the cry of the soul sparrow for the rest of my life!
Although the ghost capital is inhabited by living people, it is different from the human world. Although it was already daytime, there was no sun in the sky, and the whole sky was overcast as if a rainstorm was coming.
There's no sunshine, no watches, and I don't know what time it is!
I got dressed and went downstairs. As soon as the door was opened, a woman wearing a white snow gauze dress appeared in the doorway.
"Childe is awake!" She blessed her body slightly, "The military advisor invites the son to the front hall for dinner!" ”
"There is Sister Lao!" I arched my hand at the woman, who pursed her lips and smiled, and turned to walk towards the antechamber. I scratched my head, a little unaccustomed to the customs of these ancients. Looking at the woman's back, I shook my head, I don't know how many years these ghosts have lived here, and they still maintain the living habits of ancient people.
When he arrived at the front hall, Lin Yuantao was already sitting there. He was wearing a black suit today, with a black tweed coat over the suit, and his hair seemed to be mousse, meticulously combed back one by one. He smiled at the corners of his lips and placed his hands on the table.
This look...... Why does it look familiar? Looks like I've seen it somewhere.
Seeing me coming, Lin Yuantao stretched out his hand and motioned for me to sit down across from him.
"Brother Lin!" I said hello to Lin Yuantao and sat down across from him.
A maid came over with a tray, and the woman in the snow gauze skirt immediately stepped forward to bring out the contents of the tray and put it on the table.
The snow-white and attractive xiaolongbao, the jade white jade porridge, and the pink and green side dishes, although they are ordinary breakfasts, each one looks so tempting.
"I asked you to buy it in those ethnic residential areas in Dongcheng District, how about you taste it?" Lin Yuantao pushed the plate towards me, and I picked up the chopsticks and picked up a bun and put it in my mouth.
"Hmm......" I nodded affirmatively, "It's delicious!" Delicious! ”
Lin Yuantao saw that I liked to eat, and he was also happy.
"Brother Lin, aren't you eating?" I couldn't help but feel a little strange when I saw that Lin Yuantao just watched me eat, but didn't move his chopsticks.
Lin Yuantao smiled and said, "I'm a ghost, not a human!" Besides, in the ghost capital, except for those whose strength is too low, the others have already opened the valley! ”
So, this table of food was specially prepared for me? I scratched my head embarrassedly, feeling that I had brought a lot of trouble to Lin Yuantao.
Lin Yuantao saw my embarrassment, he smiled indifferently and said, "To be honest, since I moved into this Youyun Pavilion, I feel that there is no popularity here. In other words, I haven't felt popularity since I became a ghost! But you came, and seeing you eating with relish, made me feel like I was still alive! ”
I looked at Lin Yuantao in astonishment, my nose was sour. I swallowed the sourness in my throat with the act of swallowing food.
I smiled at Lin Yuantao with a grateful and bright smile, "As long as Brother Lin doesn't bother me, I am willing to eat with you every day!" ”
"Good!" Lin Yuantao also grinned and showed a bright smile, and the maids serving around him showed surprise on their faces when they saw this, and their eyes were full of respect when they looked at me again.
After eating, You Xiao took me to the west of the city. There is a row of houses that seem to have been vacant for a long time, I counted them, there are twelve in total, each of which is divided into three courtyards, the inner and outer middle, and the area of each courtyard is not small.
"How can there be so many vacant houses here?"
"This was originally the residence of the guards of the ghost capital, but later the military advisor felt that this place was too far away from the city gate, so he allocated a piece of land near the city gate to build a barracks for the guards, and after the guards moved over, this place was vacant!" You Xiao explained in a flat tone.
I nodded, and silently recited the incantation to release all the ghosts in the Soul Locking Jade except for Yan Xiqing.
Hundreds of ghosts filled almost the entire alley, and they all turned their heads in amazement to look around, looking at the strange and comfortable environment in front of them.
"Hello everyone! I have already applied with the ghost capital, and everyone can settle down in the ghost capital. There are 12 rooms here, you are free to combine and choose, and this will be your home from now on. I cleared my throat and announced aloud. When all the ghosts heard my words, they clapped their palms with joy.
"That's it! Now let's go and choose the house you like! After you have chosen, I will give you some money for each household to go to the market and buy some necessities! Of course, if you want to live a good life in the future, you must rely on your own labor to obtain it! I made a pause gesture to the ghosts, and everyone stopped clapping.
As soon as my words were finished, the demons happily chose their favorite room. In a few moments, there was only one ghost left in the alley.
Ding Xiaoyan...... How did I forget her!
Ding Xiaoyan looked at me blankly, and then looked at the other ghosts who happily went to choose a house, and froze in place for a while.
"Little ...... Little master, what about me? Ding Xiaoyan moved her steps, walked up to me and asked pitifully.
