"Little girl, if you get up so early, you have to do business!"

Lin Nian asked with a smile.

Lin Nian wondered why he had never seen this teahouse after living in this Guobei City for decades.

Wait a minute!

Teahouse!

Isn't this the water manggrass in the original Liaozhai book?

Water reckless, poisonous weeds also. Overgrown like kudzu; Flower purple, lentil-like. Eat it, die immediately, that is, it is a water ghost.

In the original book, it is written that there is a scholar surnamed Zhu, who visited him at one time in the same year. On the way, I was very thirsty and wanted to drink water, when I suddenly saw a pergola by the roadside, and an old woman was giving tea in it.

This old woman, as well as the girl Kou Sanniang, are water ghosts.

After death, the resentment did not go away, and he became a lonely ghost.

If you want to be reincarnated, you can only pull one person into the water.

When a new person becomes a water ghost, he can be reincarnated.

Repeat and repeat.

In this era of rampant demons, lonely souls and wild ghosts are everywhere, and ghosts are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they care about the suffering of the underworld.

Such a ghost is actually not so hateful but quite pitiful.

Even with it, Lin Nian looked at this girl with a hint of pity.

"Girl, have a good hot tea."

Lin Nian took Xiaobao and sat outside the pergola.

He wanted to see how this legendary water ghost harmed people.

The girl walked into the shed with a teapot in her hand, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and her face was gorgeous. The ring on the finger and the bracelet on the wrist are so bright that you can see the shadow of a person.

In the pergola, a rickety old woman wore coarse linen clothes and had sparse gray hair.

With a grin and a mouthful of big yellow teeth, he said to the girl:

"This man is full of merit, and he is an excellent candidate for death."

"It won't be long before you can be reincarnated, and you don't have to follow the old woman and suffer here."

Hearing this, the girl's face was sad, "But...... Chenghuang has mercy, and after waiting for another ten years, he will be able to be reincarnated. ”

"Why harm people."

"Ten years!"

"Hey, how many years can I wait."

"There's nothing to hesitate about, if you don't pull people into the water, how can you be reincarnated."

"Don't worry, this person is full of merits, and when he takes over the tea shop, he won't pull someone into the water and find someone to die in his place."

"It's a pity, such a good son......"

The girl wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the old woman.

The old woman walked out of the pergola and brought tea, very attentive.

"I'm really sorry to keep Childe waiting."

Although the words of the girl and the old woman in the pergola just now were very small, Lin Nian had already refined and refined the qi, how could he not be very human, and he could hear the words clearly.

Lin Nian didn't feel angry, but looked at the old woman with a hint of pity.

These two water reckless ghosts, if they want to be reincarnated, they can only pull people into the water and find someone to die instead.

Sensing Lin Nian's strange appearance, the old woman hurriedly said:

"Childe, if you don't drink it again, the tea will be cold."

Lin Nian looked at the tea, the tea soup was turbid and had a strange smell, it didn't look like tea at all.

"Old man, how many years have you been selling tea here to make a living?"

Lin Nian didn't drink the tea, and asked.

Hearing Lin Nian's words, the old man hesitated and sat on the chair next to him.

The old woman was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke:

"My wife and son have been begging for a living here for decades."

"Hey!"

The old man sighed, containing too much helplessness and sadness.

Lin Nian was shocked when he heard this number.

Decade!

In other words, for more than ten years, the old woman has not found a substitute for the dead.

Countless days and nights, it is impossible not to find someone.

The biggest possibility is that the old woman is unwilling.

She was reluctant to pull someone into the water and suffer for herself.

It is estimated that this old woman was also a good person when she was alive!

I want to hurt him today, but also for Kou Sanniang, who is only fourteen or fifteen years old!

Fourteen or fifteen years old, in the prime of life, high-spirited age, but died young, was killed by the water reckless ghosts, and suffered by this embankment for several years.

"Old man, begging for life in this troubled world is hard and tormenting, haven't you thought about quitting?"

Lin Nian asked tentatively.

The old woman shook her head, probably because she heard that Lin Nian meant something else, sighed, and said:

"I've thought about it!"

"How could I not have thought about it."

"I think all the time, but if I don't do it, someone else will do it."

"In that case, wouldn't everyone else suffer."

"Anyway, it's all suffering, my wife and son have been suffering for ten years, it's not a big deal, and I can bear it."

"It's just that Sanniang suffered, she was only fourteen years old, and she followed my wife to suffer here."

"Poor fate!"

The old woman seemed to think that she had said enough to Lin Nian, or she didn't want to see Lin Nian's grief-stricken expression after drinking the tea.

He got up and walked into the pergola.

Lin Nian sighed slightly, looked at the tea on the table, and was distracted for a while.

And Xiaobao on the side was already cold and wanted to drink a sip of hot tea to warm up.

Pick up the tea on the table and drink it all.

At this critical moment,

The girl ran out of the tea shop and slapped the tea in Xiaobao's hand to the ground.

Xiaobao, who was not in the shadows, looked at the girl in front of him blankly.

"This tea has already cooled, and if you drink it again, I'm afraid it will hurt your body."

"I'll go warm you a pot of tea!"

"Hey!"

The girl sighed, her eyes full of remorse.

She still doesn't want to hurt anyone!

Lin Nian let out a long sigh, took out the Yin Soldier Tiger Talisman given by the system from his arms, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

The Yin Soldier Tiger Talisman in his hand moved slightly.

In an instant, the wind was blowing and the ghost fog was everywhere.

In an instant, the original old tea shop was reduced to nothing, leaving only a lonely grave overgrown with weeds.

And the chair that Lin Nian was sitting on turned into a dead wood stake.

In the inky black mist, the sound of gold and iron sounded.

Boom~

It was as if the chain had hit the armor, and a tall figure appeared in front of Lin Nian.

He was in a large bronze armor, his whole body was entangled in ghost mist, a chain around his waist exuded a deep and terrifying aura, and a ghost-headed knife in his hand was shining with cold light.

A pair of scarlet ghost eyes, hidden under the helmet, shook like ghostly fire.

Yin Bing, walked in front of Lin Nian, bowed down and knelt.

"Commander of the subordinate Senluo treacherous soldiers, meet your lordship!"

In the black mist behind him, there were suddenly ten more pairs of scarlet eyes, bowing down to Lin Nian and kneeling.

It seems that except for this great commander, no one else is qualified to appear in front of Lin Nian at all.

After Lin Nian felt the strong aura of these ghost soldiers in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, the old woman hiding in the shadows hurriedly pulled Kou Sanniang and knelt in front of Lin Nian.

"I don't know if it's the ghost who came, the old woman has no eyes, and she wants to harm the adult."

"Please spare your life."

"This matter is all done by the old woman and son, and it has nothing to do with Sanniang."

"I beg the lord to punish the old woman and spare Sanniang!"
