Chapter 36: Shen Que
The figure on the shore startled me.
It's cold here, and every village member knows since childhood that they can't go to Biyoutan.
As for why I can't go, I don't have a clear explanation, as if I am afraid that someone will accidentally fall in and drown.
I have lived in Ligou Village for more than 20 years, and almost every year, someone will fall into Biyoutan, but no one has ever picked it up.
This is also the main reason why the village does not directly use the water of Biyoutan to build a reservoir.
Now it's dark, and someone dares to come here, either a ghost or a psychopath.
If I hadn't studied with Master for so long, I wouldn't have come to Biyoutan if I was killed.
"What did you just see?" The man on the shore spoke, and it was a woman's voice.
As soon as I heard this, my heart suddenly let go of half of it, even if it was a ghost, it was a female ghost.
I hurriedly ran to the shore with the lantern, and when I got closer, I almost died of fright.
I took a few steps back, my legs and stomach were weak, and my face was pale.
Liu Qian'er.
"You...... You ......" I pulled out my wooden sword and stared at her menacingly.
"What are you? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman? Liu Qian'er actually smiled at me.
This laugh made me feel creepy, and I shuddered, "You're not dead? Or are you a ghost now? ”
"What the hell?" Liu Qian'er frowned and said You are confused, right? I'm alive and well, how can I die?
"You're not Liu Qian'er?" I subconsciously asked, I felt that something was wrong, although this woman looked exactly the same as Liu Qian'er, I didn't think it should be a person.
Words and deeds are completely different.
And her answer really confirmed my guess, "My name is Shen Que, not Liu Qian'er." ”
"You're not lying?" I breathed a sigh of relief, it was too similar, I can only say that it was too similar, there were actually two people in the world who were exactly the same.
It's just that Liu Qian'er gives me the feeling of a piece of ice, and Shen Que is completely different, at least he is a living person with temperature.
"Oooh...... I'm sorry, but I met a girl who looked exactly like you. "I finally let my guard down.
I just sighed that this world is so amazing.
"Your girlfriend?" Shen Que tilted his head and glanced at me, and his smile was very cute.
I scratched my head and smiled a little awkwardly, "Not really, by the way, what are you doing here?" ”
"Looking for Jiaolong!" Shen Quan's words almost made me fall to the ground.
I said what do you say? Dragon?
"yes, isn't there a dragon here?" Shen Que blinked wide, as if he wasn't talking nonsense.
I thought to myself that this girl was crazy, and seeing that it was getting dark, I asked her to go home with me, and she said that she had nowhere to go anyway.
Along the way, Shen Que was chattering, saying that the horse lantern in my hand was really chic, and there was no wick and oil, so I really didn't know how to do it.
I explained that this is a ghost fire, and you should not have a chance to give you one.
For some reason, I always felt that Shen Que had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, perhaps because she and Liu Qian'er looked alike.
For Liu Qian'er, I feel guilty or guilty, although we are both victims, but I am at least alive, and she doesn't know where she went.
According to Master's previous statement, even if Liu Qian'er survives, she is neither human nor ghost, half yin and half yang, and needs to continue her life in various ways.
Shen Que and I returned to the dilapidated home, I thought that there would be nets everywhere in the house, but I didn't expect it to be the same as before, except for a layer of dust on the table and bench.
I saw Shen Que have a shadow in the light, and I had no reason to doubt it anymore.
Looking at it so closely, Shen Que really looks the same as Liu Qian'er, with the same eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the same apricot eyes and peach cheeks.
It's just that Shen Que is dressed very fashionably, which is different from Liu Qian'er's retro dress.
Seeing that I kept staring at her, Shen Que didn't get angry, but quipped: "Do I really look the same as your girlfriend?" Do you have a picture of her? ”
I looked back in embarrassment and said she ...... She didn't know where she went, the photos didn't.
"Besides, you don't even have a picture of your girlfriend, no wonder people will leave you." Shen Que grinned, revealing a row of shell teeth.
"Don't talk about her, what did you just say you were doing in Biyoutan?" I asked again.
"Oh, look at the dragon, isn't there a dragon here!" Shen Que said.
"You don't have a fever, do you? Do you know what you're talking about? I looked at her incredulously.
What is a dragon? Legendary things, there is no such thing as a legend, okay.
"It's true! My master told me. Shen Que nodded seriously.
I laughed and said that your master lied to you, where in this world is there a dragon.
"No, no, Master never lies." Shen Que shook his head again and again.
"Well, even if there is, how can you see it?" I don't want to argue with her, just like a child who believes that there is Ultraman in the world.
"That's why I came here to guard, the master said that it was all fate and luck to see the dragon, and said that if I don't draw the process of seeing the dragon this time, I won't be allowed to go back." Shen Que pouted, and said something serious, as if there was really a dragon in Biyoutan.
I thought to myself that you are not a fool, and your master must be trying to get rid of you.
"Master said that the third day of March every year is the day when the Dragon King goes to heaven to perform Chen, and on this day, all dragons have to come out to receive the grace of heaven, so I came here a month in advance."
I was stunned when I heard it, no wonder Shen Que was called Shen Que, it was estimated that he was missing a string.
"Then what does your master do? I actually asked you to come and see the dragon. I followed her words and asked, only to meet a psychopath.
"Ah...... Master is a tattoo master, but I can't name him. Shen Que shook his head.
"Okay...... So what's the use of seeing dragons? "Shen Que is a little strange, isn't the tattoo artist a tattoo artist?
What can't be said.
"Hehe, when you see a dragon, you can be contaminated with dragon energy, and when the time comes, the tattoo you tattoo someone else will have a soul." Shen Que smiled slyly.
I was speechless for a while, but I didn't refute it, the world is so big, maybe she was telling the truth.
Seeing that I was silent, Shen Que asked again: "After talking for a long time, what is your name?" I saw someone on the shore pounce on you. ”
See someone lunging at me? Doesn't that mean that she also saw the figure in the mist, and Shen Que is not an ordinary person.
