Chapter 60: Waiting for a Thousand Years

Looking at the withered claw running through my body, for a moment, I thought a lot, and the bits and pieces that had happened in the past few decades came to my mind clearly, like a TV replay, vividly. What I think about the most is Tao Xiaoran, although I don't have many days with her, but I feel that it was the happiest time in my life!

The hand was withdrawn from my body, and as soon as my eyes were dark, I lay down. I don't know if I'm dead, I can't see anything, I can't feel anything, only a trace of consciousness exists, I know, this is a magnetic field, my mind is not so strong, because no one cares, I'm afraid this magnetic field will disappear soon, I will really die, I can only go to hell, waiting for reincarnation.

I opened my eyes and found myself lying on a stone platform, with seven or eight people standing in a small space. No, that's not people, they look more like ghosts! Could it be that I'm already in hell, but it's not the same hell they described......

I sat up and moved my limbs, it didn't feel like I was dead, my body was still conscious. Suddenly, I found that the bronze mirror was gone, I looked around, and suddenly saw a woman in white sitting in the corner, to be exact, it should be a female ghost, she was very resentful!

It dawned on me that I had been captured by them, and I wasn't dead, which was so unexpected. It stands to reason that being pierced through the body by that powerful ghost is certain death, but now I am standing here in a good manner, they will not harm me or let me go, I don't know what to do. Fortunately, there is no water in this place, and I can breathe normally, otherwise I would have suffocated to death!

I could breathe, and I suddenly remembered that I could breathe normally the first time I went into the cave where the bronze mirror was placed, and this was the lair of the old ghost. The old ghost sitting in that corner? No, isn't he a man, how did he become a woman! I'm like a monk in Zhanger, I can't figure it out, I want to lean over, but I'm afraid that it will suddenly become difficult, and I don't have a rune paper in my hand, so it's difficult to deal with it.

But how could I figure out the cause of this incident in the past, so I turned my heart sideways, strengthened myself, and walked up. Before I could get close to her, she suddenly spoke: "Are you awake?"

I was stunned and stopped, it was clearly a man's voice, but his long flowing hair and slender figure looked like a woman's back. Then I was even more sure that he was the bitter bridegroom in the bronze mirror, for I had seen that what he was holding in his hand was the one I had brought. He held it in his hand and stroked it gently, the movement was subtle.

After I stood still, Lisheng asked, "You are the ghost who harms people, why don't you go and reincarnate?"

"Yes, I hurt people, I think you already know my identity, I deliberately left the bronze mirror in the cave, just hoping that you can come, only you can help me." The old ghost stood up and turned to me.

I almost didn't scream when I saw his face, it was rotten, and at first glance it looked like rotten meat that had been soaked in water for half a month, which was disgusting. I don't look away from him, I know he still has something to say, since he did it on purpose, it must be to let me do something for him, and I will listen to what medicine he sells in his gourd!

"Mage, please help me!" The old ghost actually threw me down and knelt down. I was a little flustered at first sight, I have seen people kneel to me, but the ghost knelt down to me I am the first time I have seen it in my life, this old ghost's magnetic field is very strong, he can completely subdue me, and then threaten me to help him, but he didn't do it, I was a little hesitant, whether to help or not to help.

If he was a human, maybe I would help him, but he was a ghost, and as a descendant of Maoshan Mountain, I would never be able to disobey my ancestors. Maoshan has a precept that he does not deal with evil spirits, does not raise ghosts, and does not make an agreement with ghosts. If I promise him, wouldn't it be disobedient to my grandfather, this is a big rebellion, what face will I have to see my grandfather after a hundred years!

That was the first time I felt helpless, and if I didn't help him, what if he turned his face, I didn't think we could beat him underwater! It seems that I have to make a delaying plan first, and listen to what he has to say first.

So I said to him, "Get up first and tell me how you want me to help you?"

When the old ghost heard this, he stood up, and with a wave of his hand, a stone chair floated over, and he waved him away, sat me down, and told me the whole thing.

This old ghost is called Zhang Danian, born in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, is a grass people, she and the second lady of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Hong, are married, and the two love each other. Although the Shangguan family strongly opposed this family business, Master Shangguan loved his second daughter very much, and after several times of seeking death and life, Master Shangguan had no choice but to decide by herself.

On the day of the wedding, the lord went with his daughter, but because Shangguan Hong's mother was physically uneasy, he did not go. Who would have thought that Zhang Danian had been waiting for a few hours, and seeing that the auspicious time was about to pass, this Shangguan Hong still did not come. The people who came to attend the wedding were his friends and distant relatives, and the marriage was a major event, and it could not be delayed, Zhang Danian thought at first that the master of Shangguan had changed his hexagram, so he called a few brothers who usually had a good relationship and wanted to go to the master of Shangguan to theorize. Unexpectedly, halfway through, I saw Shangguan Hong's underwear, with many objects scattered on the ground, and the sedan chair also fell aside.

Zhang Danian almost fainted, holding Shangguan Hong's clothes in his hand and crying bitterly, they searched for a long time nearby, but did not find the slightest, so they went back unwillingly. Zhang Danian sent his relatives and friends away under various pretexts, and then went to Shangguan's house non-stop, and when he arrived at Shangguan's house, the maids said that Miss Shangguan went out in a sedan chair early in the morning and never came back.

Zhang Danian passed out at that time, and he guessed that Shangguan Hong might have had an accident! When he woke up, Shangguan's house had become a mess, he was lying in the servant's room, pushed open the door and went out, and saw Shangguan Hong's mother sitting in the inner hall crying. She was clamoring for Zhang Danian to return her daughter, and Zhang Danian was not better than her at the moment, Shangguan Hong was all he had, and now that the whereabouts of his beloved were unknown, how could he sit still!

He went to the yamen without saying a word, and reported the matter 1510, and the official sent someone to investigate, and after a few hours, he finally found that the original team that sent his relatives had been brutally killed and buried in a deep pit not far from the place where the incident occurred, and none of the 26 lives survived, including Shangguan Hong!
