Chapter 25: Cousin

I was stunned, the extra is not a demon, it's a ghost?

I hurriedly asked, "What about Miss Ruixia?" Is that white face also a ghost? ”

Long Jing said impatiently: "Isn't it, where is the demonic spirit!" It's all the same thing. ”

I said angrily: No matter what, you are also a dragon god, if you don't save you when you die, is it nice to say it?

Long Jing said disdainfully: In short, I won't have trouble with the city god, exorcism, isn't it looking for a Taoist priest? Don't bother me.

As he spoke, he yawned and fell asleep.

Where will I go to find a Taoist priest? I came out in a huff, Longjing is selfish, next time I will see who worships you.

As soon as he went out, he saw Li Qitang and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who was a head taller than him coming to the Dragon God Temple!

What a rain from heaven! I hurriedly ran over: "Li Gongzi, it's just in time, the Oiran celebration in the Yanyu Pavilion is haunted, and the Dragon God refuses to care, you must save the Mandarin Duck girl!"

Li Qitang hurriedly asked: What's the matter? Miss Mei said slowly, and pointed to the young man next to her: This is my cousin Li Qixuan, a person from Bozhou.

It turned out to be cousins, no wonder they looked alike.

I was busy saluting and briefly talking about my sister and the tank.

Li Qitang said with a smile: Then my brother came at the right time, and my uncle's family is famous for catching ghosts in the Bozhou area!

I hurriedly saluted and said: Then there is Lao Gongzi!

Li Qixuan is long and jade, very elegant, and said: Girls don't have to be polite, our family music is to cultivate this way to accumulate virtue and do good, you don't have to be polite.

Sure enough, the people of Bozhou have a very strong accent.

I hurried to return the salute and led them to the vestibule.

The vestibule has become a pot of porridge, Mr. Mo is full of sweat, his sister is also making a mess on the stage, and even more in the audience, they actually sensationalize the public, throw the peel into the atrium, and serve an Oiran celebration, which has become a scene like a prisoner's execution.

I hurriedly pointed to the 166 sisters on the stage and said to the Li brothers: "It's these sisters, although the cylinder has been smashed, there is indeed one less than the sister!"

Li Qixuan said: "Introduce some sisters, are you all familiar with them?"

Ripe Teng was probably familiar, and I hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, Mei Cai has been sent to Yanyu Pavilion for a few Chinese New Year's Eve, and they are indeed acquaintances."

Li Qitang pointed to his sister and said, "It must be the person who returned from Huangquan."

Li Qixuan nodded: "No, how can the obsession be so deep, it's really evil."

I hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Li Qixuan said: "If a person dies, the soul should be managed by the city god and returned to the underworld, and the soul refuses to go back, but he runs back to the place where he was alive, but when the dead return to the yang world, the living see her, only when she is still the same as before, she will not remember that she is a dead person, this is called charm, which will confuse people's hearts." Although she is confused, she can't change the real thing, and the vat is an example, and the vat is real, which causes the dislocation of the mesomorph. The ghost who is too obsessed with me, and he forgets that he is dead, repeating the days before his death, and the ghost continues to survive in the world by absorbing the yang energy of the living, and I look at the sister who fainted, and the yang energy is insufficient, and the ghost is sucked out. ”

When a dead person returns to earth, will one forget the fact that she is dead and think that she is still alive?

I looked at Li Qitang, and Li Qitang nodded: "Although this kind of ghost is not harmful, it will unconsciously suck away the yang energy of the living, and the peony girl is deeply affected by it."

I stared at the one hundred and sixty-six familiar faces in a daze, who among them made everyone forget that she had passed away and secretly came back? How did her obsession come to life so deeply?

Li Qitang said: "I heard that if this person who has returned from Huangquan is told that he is dead, it seems that his soul will be scattered and he will not be able to live again."

Li Qixuan nodded: "Well, you're right, this ghost is pitiful, and people are also dead, and they still can't forget to choose an oiran, and they can't even touch a jar."

When I heard it, I remembered that the cylinder was misplaced, why couldn't everyone see that the cylinder was standing by the cylinder? Busy asked again.

Li Qixuan said: "Enchantment can deceive people's eyes, a ghost must have been attached to the person who was sucked by her yang qi at that time, and he thought that the person who was sucked yang qi was really herself, so he went to the cylinder of that name, and people couldn't see the overlap, so they didn't feel that there was less tank, but when Sister Fan and the cylinder were separated, she became a single person again."

In this way, the possessed is the Mandarin Duck girl, I reasoned with my thoughts, the ghost who returned from the Yellow Spring, wholeheartedly wanted to be an Oiran, and the Mandarin Duck girl was determined to be an Oiran, so the ghost wanted to become a Mandarin Duck girl, inhaled her yang energy and did not say, as soon as I heard that I was going to stand by the cylinder with my name written on it, I went to the cylinder with the word Mandarin Duck written on it, and naturally coincided with the Mandarin Duck girl, and when it was scattered, people looked at her as she was when she was alive. So there is this creepy dislocation.

"Even if she becomes an Oiran, it is also stained with the light of the Mandarin Duck Girl, she doesn't even have her own tank, is it not that she can't become an Oiran? She didn't become an Oiran at all, but a Mandarin Duck girl! I said.

Li Qitang sighed: "This is an obsession, she doesn't care how she became an Oiran, her obsession is to be an Oiran no matter what."

I was dazed and said, "In order to be an oiran, can you not even do it yourself?"

Li Qitang said: "So, this is an obsession, an obsession that others can't persuade."

I couldn't help but ask, "Which girl is the one who has returned from Huangquan?"

Li Qixuan took out a paper figure from his arms, put it to his mouth and blew it, and the paper figure flew to the stage with a brush, but I couldn't see where it flew to.

Li Qixuan pointed to the Ruixia girl on the stage and said, "Introduce a girl, do you know each other?"

I nodded: "Naturally, I know!" This is Miss Ruixia, and she is also a popular candidate to run for Oiran! ”

Li Qixuan smiled bitterly: "Think again."

I frowned, but I couldn't think of anything: "This is indeed Miss Ruixia!" She told me a few days ago that this year's Oiran is going to be lively again! ”

Li Qixuan told me to close my eyes, I hurriedly closed them, and then I heard something "ding" in my ears.

I suddenly felt like I was waking up in a dream.

Miss Ruixia, at the end of last month, didn't Chen Ji die of typhoid fever before he recovered? Her funeral, I also went. Qiu'er almost fainted from crying, and later Mr. Mo died of persuasion, so he did not accompany his master to Huangquan, but was sent to serve the Mandarin Duck girl with Luan'er.

I glanced at Qiu'er, she was talking with other maids, I'm afraid I had forgotten that Miss Ruixia is no longer alive, right?

The day before yesterday, I saw her for the first time, and that day, she chatted with me, and Luan'er came to tell me that the Mandarin Duck girl was frightened by the white face in the closet, could it be that she inhaled the Yang Qi of the Mandarin Duck girl that day?

Oiran, is it such a deep obsession for the competitive Ruixia girl who has not fought until death?

Li Qixuan looked at the way I woke up from a big dream and said, "She is also pitiful." But if this continues, the sister who was sucked by her yang energy will sooner or later become her stand-in and go to the underworld, if the people who are not in the world do not return to dust, and the earth returns to the earth, I am afraid that this world will be chaotic. ”

I wiped my tears and asked, "Do you want to tell her?"

Li Qixuan nodded: "She and her sister who was sucked by her yang energy, there can only be one left in the world." It's only to blame her for being too obsessed and misleading others and herself. ”

Li Qitang said: "It's too early, otherwise the sister who was sucked by her yang energy will only be afraid that she won't be able to do it."

I nodded, squeezed to the stage, and took advantage of the chaos to drag Miss Ruixia behind, Miss Ruixia looked at me inexplicably and asked, "Mei Cai, what are you pulling me here to do when it's so important?"

I raised my head vigorously, didn't let the tears roll down, and said to Miss Ruixia word by word: "Miss Ruixia, you are no longer a person in this world, go back!"

Miss Ruixia's eyes widened: "What did you say?"

I learned what Li Qixuan just said: "Dust to dust, soil to earth, in this world, there is no girl for you anymore."

Miss Ruixia seemed to suddenly remember, and muttered, "Yes, I...... I'm not an Oiran...... I've never been an Oiran...... Oiran, it's not me ......"

Then she slowly faded, and slowly disappeared, and her clothes fell to the ground like cicadas.

There is no more Miss Ruixia in the world. I wiped away my tears, picked up my clothes, and returned to the vestibule, Shen Shangshu suddenly calculated the account, and was pointing it to Mr. Mo, Mr. Mo looked suddenly enlightened, and then shouted: "This year's Oiran is still a mandarin duck girl!"

Everyone applauded, everything returned to its previous state, and no one felt that anything strange had happened.

I thanked the Li brothers in the past, and they were busy saying that you don't have to be polite.

The Oiran celebration finally came to a grand end, and everyone looked satisfied.

It is human nature to pursue what you want, but why did this become like this? No one did anything wrong, but my heart felt like an empty piece, and I couldn't touch the edge.

The begonia flowers by the Rouge River have fallen and grown red and tender new leaves. Spring, this is the end, right?

The weather slowly got hotter, and my mother made me a blue crepe dress, which I liked very much. But Longjing said that I was not dressed like a plum cabbage, but like lettuce.

The reeds by the Rouge River are blue and blue, tall and lush, and occasionally dragonflies fall on the towering cattails, and when the wind blows, the river wrinkles, and the cattails shake, and it hurriedly flies away.

In May, the Dragon Boat Festival is going to make zongzi for the festival, and I carry a basket to pick reed leaves. The raw material of zongzi is high-grade pearl glutinous rice, and the filling is divided into sweet and salty two, the sweet is Cangzhou golden silk date filling, honey bean paste filling, and the salty is beef filling, wild vegetable filling, salted egg yolk filling.

Zongzi must be selected with pearl glutinous rice of uniform size, and then selected with wide green fresh reed leaves, blanched and wrapped, stuffed with prepared fillings and tied with thin reed leaves torn vertically, which is small and exquisite. Then steam or boil in the drawer, and you can enjoy the mouth.

Today is a good weather with blue sky and clear water, and after picking the leaves, why don't you go to find Sister A Yue to throw sandbags. I was thinking about it when I suddenly heard someone chanting: "The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yiren are on the water side。。。。。。 ”

When I looked back, it was a scholar, with his back to me, and I didn't know what to look at.
