Chapter 461: Humans and Ghosts Take Different Paths
The candle flame illuminates the room, the dishes are miscellaneous, there are meat and vegetarian dishes, the table is full, and the aroma is spraying. Shi Jian, Uncle Jiu, Qiusheng, Wencai, Boss Zhu, Xiaozhu, comprador Hong, Xiaohong, and Xiaohong's mother did it around the table, plus the Hong family's subordinates who were specially allowed by comprador Hong, they were also full.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Jiu, the dishes are simple and the hospitality is not good, please don't mind, move the chopsticks, the food will be cold in a while." Boss Zhu warmly welcomed.
Qiusheng used chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Xiaohong and Xiaohong's mother, "Xiaohong, aunt, eat vegetables." β
Xiaohong's gentle eyes flicked Qiusheng, sandwiched the chicken in the bowl into her mother's bowl, and said, "I can't eat." β
"Huh!" Qiusheng scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I forgot." β
Shi Jian said with a smile: "So many of us can taste the food, but it is too cruel to let the little red girl sit and watch alone." I'm going to cook a dish for the little red girl. β
Uncle Nine seemed to think of something, and said in surprise: "Senior brother, you want to ......"
Shi Jian asked Xiaozhu for a few empty bowls, put the same dish in a bowl, and read: "The Red Emperor of the South, the Black Emperor of the North, the God King of Food, the God of Food, the God of Food, will be this food as I do, and I will be as anxious as the law." β
Then Shi Jiancun meditated on the food and wine on the table, and a piece of magic light was sprinkled into the bowl, and each dish became more, and the quantity was no different from that on the table.
The comprador Hong, Boss Zhu, Xiaozhu, and the people of the Hong family were amazed, and Qiusheng and Wencai were dumbfounded, and asked curiously: "Uncle Master, is this our Taoist refining technique." β
"Yes." Shi Jian waved his hand, and the conjured magic food flew towards Xiaohong, "Little Red girl, try to see if it suits your appetite." β
Xiaohong picked up the chopsticks, put the vegetables into the small mouth, chewed gently, and the long-lost feeling transmitted by the taste buds made Xiaohong familiar and obsessed, excited, with tears in her eyes, and got up and saluted: "Thank you Shi Daochang, it's delicious, it should be said that it is the most delicious thing in the world." β
"Really?"
Wen Cai was a little suspicious, and reached out to clip it, and Uncle Nine shouted: "A table of dishes can't stop your mouth, grab food from the little red girl, is that for you to eat?" β
"Yes." Qiusheng echoed.
Shi Jian explained: "Little Red Girl's French food is conjured by me visualizing the dishes on the table, and the taste is exactly the same. The main reason why Xiaohong reacted so much was that she hadn't eaten the food of a living person for a long time, and she was so excited when she first ate it. β
Everyone suddenly raised their glasses to drink, Xiaohong also picked up the wine glass, joined it, the fragrant wine entered the throat, it was like a living person, two red clouds appeared on his face, his eyes were slightly drunk, and his beauty was moving, which made Qiusheng's eyes straight.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the small amount of food has stopped chopsticks, sitting and chatting, Uncle Nine, comprador Hong, and Boss Zhu are still drinking, and Shi Jian interjects from time to time.
Suddenly, he noticed something, Shi Jian raised his eyes to look out of the door, shouted 'Be careful', the electric light on his body flashed, and he appeared at the door. At this time, Uncle Nine also sensed the attack of evil ghosts, got up and shouted: "Qiusheng, Wencai, open the altar." β
The two reacted very quickly, ran out of their seats, carried the altar table, and quickly placed paper, ink, pens, inkstones, incense, candles, bells, incense burners, peach wood swords and other things.
Outside the door, there was a sudden strong wind, strong and cold, blowing the doors and windows swaying, pouring into the house, and the candles turned upside down, crushing to the ground, and the light was dark.
Two evil ghosts, one white and one red, a man and a woman, fell from the sky, holding a sharp sword, and stabbed Shi Jian in the chest. Shi Jian stepped forward, made a move to grab the white blade with his bare hands, grabbed the sword body with both hands, and after a light thunder, two blue and white lightning bolts were transmitted along the sword to the two ghosts, and the two ghosts immediately convulsed and spasmed, and the ghosts cried wolf.
Subduing the two ghosts, Shi Jian tilted his head and said, "Senior brother, hurry up!" β
"Senior brother, slow down, wait for me!"
Uncle Nine put on the apricot robe that Wen had just brought over, put on the Jiuliang scarf that Wen had just handed over, grabbed the peachwood sword, picked up the war book on the altar table, put it on the candle flame and lit it, stepped on the seven star steps, and recited words in his mouth.
He moved faster and faster, bringing up a series of phantoms behind him, and after the incantation was finished, he stopped abruptly and flung the flame on the peachwood sword into the night sky, and the flames circled in the sky for a moment, flying straight to the northeast.
"Big brother." Uncle Nine shouted.
Shi Jian's body flashed twice, grabbing the two evil ghosts and chasing the flames. Out of Shangchang Town, he casually threw the evil ghost into the Bliss Spirit House and handed it over to the Hundred Ghost Devouring Soul Array for refining.
At this time, the twilight was deep, the bright moon was gradually concave, the thin clouds covered the sky, the four fields were twilight, and the flames floating in the sky were very conspicuous, Huang Ha saw it from afar, his face changed slightly, he grabbed a large handful of incense and lit it, and was about to cast a spell to deal with Uncle Jiu, when he caught a glimpse of a light in the afterglow of his right eye, and the warning was suddenly born, and he hurriedly moved out to the left.
Zizi, a flash of lightning almost grazed his shoulder, and exploded when it hit the ground, and the altar table and the jars and jars on the altar table immediately burst open, debris splashed, and the earth flew together.
Half of his body was paralyzed by the power of powerful thunder and lightning, and he completely lost his intuition, Huang Ha was shocked, and looked up in a panic, only to see the strange brightness ahead, the electric candle sky, dazzling and white, and vaguely saw a light and shadow standing in it, as if infinitely tall.
He raised his fist, Huang Ha didn't see the other party's movements clearly at all, and he felt that the ground around him was empty, and strong forces were surging from all directions, as if he was beaten by the crowd, and he didn't know how many fists he had slammed all over his body.
The explosion subsided, and Huang Ha's body flew out like a cannonball, and the person was in mid-air, spurting blood like a spring. A black shadow flashed, taking Huang Ha into his arms, and before he could react, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, two fangs pierced the skin, cut through the blood vessels, and blood rushed madly towards the fangs. At the same time, there was also an icy force injected into the body, spreading everywhere.
After a while, the black shadow threw Huang Ha away, turned to Shi Jian and saluted, "Willy has seen the master!" β
Shi Jian replied lightly, quietly looking at Huang Ha on the ground, waiting for him to transform into a vampire. Willy stood aside respectfully, long since lost his previous toughness and arrogance. Tormented by hunger and weakness, the self-proclaimed noble vampire is forced to bow his proud head.
It didn't take long for Huang Ha to become a vampire, and Shi Jian took him into the spirit house for refining, obtained all his memories, and understood the cause and effect. And according to his guidance, he found the cave of the Tibetan unification and the snake man, and Shi Gongzi was also locked inside.
For this kind of person, Shi Jian can't have any mercy. It's just that it didn't hit him on the head, and since it did, it was just right to give it to Willy to restore his strength.
After searching the things in the cave, Shi Jian went to Shi Gongzi's house again, and collected the porcelain antiques, gold, silver, jewelry, jade and silver dollars that Shi Gongzi had secretly hidden into the spirit house, which added another generation to his family property.
"Senior brother, how is it?" Seeing Shi Jian coming back, Uncle Jiu, who was waiting in the hall, stepped forward quickly and asked with concern.
"Solved."
Uncle Jiu, Qiusheng, and Wencai all smiled, they knew very well the meaning of the word 'solved', Huang Ha not only couldn't keep his body, but his soul should also be wiped out.
Shi Jian is so reliable.
The comprador Hong, Xiaozhu, Boss Zhu, Xiaohong, and Xiaohong's mother were all very happy, and they were all happy to get rid of the two wicked people.
Two days later, in the evening, Qiusheng and Xiaohong walked hand in hand down the street, through the lively night market, to the scattered houses on the outskirts of the town. The houses here are low and dilapidated, and the hazelnuts are furious, like a desolate grave in the mountains.
Qiusheng couldn't help but ask, "Xiaohong, what are you bringing me here for?" β
"I'll show you someone."
"Who?"
"Here we are." Xiaohong pulled Qiusheng across the collapsed low wall, walked to the window with a loud bang, poked through the window paper, motioned Qiusheng to look inside the house, and asked, "Is she good-looking?" β
There was a handsome girl of sixteen or seventeen years old sitting in the room, with a sewing box in her hand, sewing and mending to the candle, scratching her hair with a needle from time to time, and her expression was so serious that she seemed to be completely unable to hear the movement outside the window.
"It's pretty good." Qiusheng replied truthfully.
"Do you like it?"
Qiusheng said strangely: "Why are you asking this, I only met her today, and she has no feelings at all, so how can I talk about whether I like it or not." If you ask me if I like you, I'm sure I do. β
Xiaohong wrapped her arms around Qiusheng's waist, put her pretty face on his chest, and whispered, "Her name is Xiaoqian, and she is sixteen years old this year......
Hearing the word 'Xiaoqian', Qiusheng's heart trembled.
"She also has a younger brother who is only nine years old. A few years ago, her parents fell ill and died, and their siblings depended on each other. In order to earn money to support her family, Xiaoqian began to help people with laundry and sewing when she was a teenager, and worked late every day to subsidize the family. Although her family is poor, Xiaoqian is hardworking and simple, and she is ingenious, and it is also a blessing for you to marry her. β
Qiusheng was stunned and said, "Xiaohong, what did you say?" β
Xiaohong let go of Qiusheng, took two steps back, looked at him fixedly, and sighed: "Don't you understand, we can't be together......"
"Xiaohong, I don't care if you're a ghost, really." Qiusheng took a step forward, and Xiaohong took a step back.
"You don't care, I do." Xiaohong said: "People and ghosts have different paths, and I will only harm you by your side and increase your sins." For your good, I have to leave. In the same way, if you really like me, please fulfill me and stop pestering me, it's good for everyone. β
"If you have a fate in the next life, I will return your love."
With that, Xiaohong stuffed a pair of pants into Qiusheng's hand, knocked on the door, and then disappeared.
Qiusheng hurriedly shouted, "Little Red ......"
"Who's out there?"
He was just about to leave, the door suddenly opened, the girl named Xiaoqian held a wooden stick in her hand, standing at the door prettyly, examining Qiusheng, when she saw the pants in his hand, Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, her pretty face turned red, and she subconsciously clenched the wooden stick in her hand.
Qiusheng saw that the situation was not good, and he had an idea: "I just went home, passing by your door, and saw these pants on the side of the road, are they your family?" β
"It's me...... Home. Xiao Qian bit her lip with her teeth, lowered her head and said, "Please give it back to me, thank you." β
Qiusheng handed his pants to Xiao Qian, and when he wanted to leave, he suddenly felt that his legs were weak, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. Xiao Qian exclaimed, and subconsciously supported Qiusheng.
"Xiaohong, stop playing." Qiusheng secretly prayed.
"You don't have to help me, I can stand up on my own."
After all, he was a stranger, and when he said this, Xiao Qian retreated to the door and looked at Qiusheng. As soon as Qiu Sheng moved, his face changed, and he even lost control of his hands.
After a moment of silence, Qiusheng said embarrassedly: "My body seems to be numb, you better help me." β
Xiao Qian sneered, looked at Qiusheng suspiciously, and asked, "Where is your home, I'll send you back." β
"Welcome to the guest house."
"Are you a relative of Sister Xiaozhu's family?"
"It's not a relative, I know Xiaozhu's fiancΓ©, comprador Hong."
Xiaozhu is engaged to a big boss in other places, this matter has spread in the town, Xiaoqian helps people do laundry and sewing, and there are a lot of people in contact, naturally I have heard of Xiaozhu's fiancΓ© comprador Hong, and the vigilance against Qiusheng in my heart has weakened a little.
Seeing Xiaoqian's entanglement and hesitation, Qiusheng said empathetically: "Forget it, you don't have to worry about me, I don't believe she is so ruthless, let me lie here all night." β
"Him?"
"Comprador Hong, I didn't go back, he must have sent someone to find me."
Xiao Qian nodded, took her pants back to the house, and then came out with the bed quilt, "It's cold on the ground, pad it." β
The corners of Qiusheng's mouth twitched, "Thank you for your kindness, I may not be able to pad it." β
"This idiot."
Xiao Hong, who was hiding in the shadows, was secretly anxious for Qiusheng, but he didn't do anything more, looked up at the position of the moon, and said to himself: "Qiusheng, I wish you happiness!" β
He immediately flew up and returned to Xiaozhu's house.
Shi Jian, Uncle Jiu, Xiaohong's mother, comprador Hong, Xiaozhu and others had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, and she fell into the courtyard and saluted Shi Jian and them: "Shi Daochang, my wish has been fulfilled, please send me to the underworld." β
"Won't you let Qiusheng give you a ride?"
Xiaohong shook her head and said: "When it is broken, it is broken, and it should not be dragged with mud and water." β
The comprador Hong opened his mouth and said: "Xiaohong, the godmother has me and Xiaozhu to take care of, you can be reincarnated with peace of mind." β
"Little Red!" Xiaohong's mother reached out and grabbed it, bursting into tears.
"Mother!" Little Red ran over and grabbed her mother's hand.
Xiaohong's mother couldn't bear it and urged: "Mother has a home, don't worry, hurry up and go to reincarnation, maybe our mother and daughter can meet in the next life." β
"Brother Hong, sister-in-law Xiaozhu, my mother will ask you."
Xiaozhu said: "Don't worry. β
"Stone Road Chief!"
Shi Jian nodded, pinched the trick with both hands, and said something in his mouth, and with a flash of aura, he opened the Yin Si Road. Xiaohong glanced at Shi Jian, Uncle Jiu, Mother, comprador Hong, Xiaozhu, Boss Zhu and others, and resolutely stepped into the whirlpool, which was already in an instant.
On the way to Xiaozhu's house, Xiaoqian helped Qiusheng to walk slowly, and suddenly, Qiusheng suddenly felt that the numbness disappeared, and said happily: "Xiaoqian, I seem to be able to move." β
"Really?" Xiao Qian gasped slightly.
"Really."
Watching Qiu Life's hands and feet, Xiao Qian smiled: "Your illness is quite weird, since you can move, go back by yourself, I'll go." β
"Akane."
"What's wrong?"
Qiusheng hesitated: "It's so dark, your home is so remote, it's not safe for you to go home as a girl, I'll send you back." β
"You send me?"
"yes."
Xiao Qian said speechlessly: "I knew that I would let you lie down just now, wasting my strength in vain, and tired me enough." β
Qiusheng smiled: "You can't blame me for this, if you want to blame someone who makes my body numb, wait until I go back to clean her up." β
