But the Taoist only sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at him calmly:

"It doesn't sound like a first offense."

Even the tone of the words was very calm.

“……”

The scholar ghost was immediately startled and trembled, knowing that he had missed a flaw in his words.

It's not that he's stupid, it's really that the yang energy in this room is burning like fire, his body is shrinking rapidly, and he has exhausted all his energy to resist this pain, and he really doesn't have time to worry about anything else.

At this time, I can only say one sentence:

"Here is the first offense in the Immortal Master......"

"I see."

"Please spare your life!"

The size of the scholar ghost is still shrinking rapidly.

Seeing that this continues, it will not be long before he will melt clean like the snow at noon. When the scholar ghost saw this, he dared to play tricks, and only begged for mercy.

"Immortal Master spare his life!"

"Don't hurry."

The Taoist only waved his sleeves, and the summer solstice spiritual power and yang energy in the room all dissipated.

The scholar ghost suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only did he no longer bear the torment of the flames, but it was also the early hours of the morning, the yang was weak and the yin was strong, and the world was dark, and once this room returned to normal, it was as if he had suddenly returned from the furnace to the cool and comfortable spring and autumn season, and he couldn't help but want to moan, like a fish on the shore that was exposed to the sun, was about to be sunburned, and suddenly returned to the right water.

Immediately, the body was able to move.

It's just that in front of such a Taoist, where does he dare to move, where does he dare to run.

"Stealing, the sin is not death, I see that the yin qi under my feet is rich and pure, although the Tao is not shallow, but it does not seem to harm people. What's more, it's not easy to turn into a ghost, and you won't take your life because of stealing. ”

"Immortal Master Mingjian, I am just addicted to stealing, I love to steal when I am alive, and I love to steal after I die, but I have never thought of harming people!"

"Having said that, but stealing is not right after all, if you don't steal it from the bottom, you may not know it from below, and now that you have stolen it here, it is considered the fate of you and me." The Taoist looked at the little ghost calmly, "If it is a living person, it will be governed by the laws of the yang world, and if it is a yin ghost, it will be controlled by the gods of the heavenly palace and the earth, and it will be sent to the nearest Taoist temple, how about it?" ”

"Immortal Master spare your life! Spare your life! ”

The scholar ghost immediately kowtowed vigorously.

"How?"

"The immortal master doesn't know, although the demons and ghosts are under the control of the Heavenly Palace, but usually after a person dies, the soul should have dissipated in heaven and earth, so the Heavenly Palace is the most harsh on us and other yin ghosts! If the immortal master sends me to the Heavenly Palace, it will be equivalent to condemning me to death! ”

The scholar ghost said, and paused:

"What's more, there are ghost hunters everywhere nowadays, although their skills are not high, but I have heard that many little ghosts have been caught by them, if the immortal master will be sent to the nearest Taoist temple, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I may not be able to get to the Heavenly Palace......"

"Oh?"

Song You became a little interested and asked, "What do you say that there are ghost hunters everywhere?" ”

"I don't know why, in short, in recent years, there are often Taoists walking all over the ground. If you encounter a small ghost, you will catch it, if you meet a big ghost, you will try to catch it, and if you have not done a mess, I heard that some of them have escaped. The scholar ghost said truthfully, "I haven't harmed anyone in the next place, and secondly, I have some ability to hide traces, so I have been able to get away with it until now." ”

“……”

The Taoist sitting cross-legged on the bed had his eyelids drooping slightly, and after thinking about it, he asked again: "Do you know why they hunt ghosts?" What are you doing with ghost hunting? ”

"This ......"

The scholar ghost was in a difficult situation, and wanted to give an answer, but he couldn't give it, so he had to say: "It's not clear about this, but it's not a good thing to think about." ”

"What do you think I should do?"

"Dare...... Dare to ask the immortal master, what is it? ”

"How's that for the foot?"

"I ...... I say? ”

"Tell me about it."

“……”

The scholar ghost gritted his teeth: "Then ask the immortal master to lower the punishment, even if it is burned with yang qi and burned in most of the next half of the road, just to save a life, and I will be grateful in the next." ”

"Will you steal it after that?"

"No...... Don't dare......"

"Hesitant."

"Immortal Master spare your life! I will never dare to do it below! ”

The Taoist couldn't help but feel curious, and sincerely asked: "I heard that my foot died because of stealing, why don't you change your past mistakes after death, but still steal?" ”

"This ......"

The scholar hesitated.

He was also clever, knowing that a good answer might be able to help him escape this fate, so he hesitated for a long time before he knelt on the ground and said sincerely:

"The immortal master doesn't know, after turning into a ghost, although it seems that he can live a long life, which is longer than that of the yang world, but in fact, how can it be the same as being alive?"

"Please stand up and speak."

"Don't dare to ......"

"Please."

“……”

Only then did the scholar ghost stand up.

But the preacher said, "Let me hear what I hear." ”

"I can't call it an opinion, just talk about myself."

"Good."

"When people are alive, they feel normal when they eat, drink, and Lazar, and they feel hot when they bask in the sun, and although they are afraid of death, they are still alive, and although they often suffer from illness and calamity, they also have other protections." The scholar ghost whispered at the Taoist's reaction as he spoke, "But after becoming a ghost, no matter how good the delicacy is, it can't taste it, and no matter how good the wine and fairy tea are, it can't drink it." When you are hungry, you can only eat dew.

"In the first few years after I died, my family would give me incense every year, and the smell of incense was not bad, but then no one used it, so I could only steal other people's incense everywhere during the New Year's holidays.

"But after all, other people's incense is someone else's, and it doesn't taste very good.

"I don't dare to bask in the sun, I can only haunt at night.

"Not everyone can become a ghost after death, so if you walk around a radius of ten miles at night, you may not see a ghost who can talk to you.

"How can you have fun when you are lonely all your life?"

"Hmmm......"

The Taoist was expressionless and only nodded.

He also knows a thing or two about this.

As early as when I was in the Fulong Temple, I had seen it in the book.

It's just that no matter how detailed it is written on paper, it will eventually feel shallow, and it is not as profound as seeing it with your own eyes and hearing it with your own ears. That's why at the beginning of the mountains in Pingzhou, a conversation with the little ghost would benefit him so deeply.

Later, outside Changjing City, the wild goose returned to the mountain, and the hundreds of years old ghost, the mural words on the wall, also wrote how he was lost in loneliness.

The scholar saw that there was a play, and immediately said: "What's more, after becoming a ghost, it seems that he has already died and will not die again, but in fact, otherwise, there is still the possibility of his soul being scattered!" And when he was alive, he was sick and broke his leg, he had a doctor to see, medicine to take, he was beaten, injured, bullied, and killed, he was managed by the government, and he was told by the yamen, and if something went wrong when he became a ghost, how to treat it? Which one can come to the rule? If the ghost is beaten, injured, bullied, taken in by a passing Taoist monk, and seen by the passing gods and earthly gods, who cares? Where to make sense? ”

"Go on."

"I was originally a human being, but now I am feared, how can I feel good in my heart?"

"Reasonable."

"I can't taste it, I can't see the light, most of the happiness in the world is missing, I have nothing to rely on, I have nothing to send to my gods, I am wandering like duckweed, hundreds of nights a year, and year after year, how should I live?"

At first, the scholar ghost just wanted to find an explanation, so as to survive, and as he spoke, he was already deeply affectionate, his face was complicated and uncomfortable, and he almost burst into tears.

But after becoming a ghost, you can't even cry.

"I don't know how to become a ghost after death, when I first became a ghost, I was lucky, but in less than half a month, I had remorse, and I knew today, how to die at the beginning."

Speaking of this, he was stunned for a moment, realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly raised his head, looked at the Taoist and the cat who had heard it in a fog, and explained:

"But if you are cowardly, if you die now, you will never dare!"

The Taoist saw what he was thinking, and only nodded and smiled: "Everything in the world has the will to steal life. ”

"Immortal Master Wise!"

The scholar ghost hurriedly complimented, then raised his head and quietly looked at the Taoist: "The words have been finished, I wonder if the immortal master can be placed on the next horse?" Under a guarantee! Change the past! Never steal again! ”

"I'm afraid not."

"Then please ask the immortal master to punish you!"

"You're smart!"

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

"It's okay not to send the Taoist temple."

"Immortal Master, please speak!"

"I want to ask for a favor."

"Please...... Please ......"

"I don't know if you've ever heard of Toyosu Yeshan?"

"I've heard of Fengzhou, but I don't know Yeshan."

"I've heard that there are a lot of ghosts over there......"

"There are a lot of ghosts......"

The scholar ghost raised his eyelids and quietly glanced at the Taoist, and after touching the Taoist's eyes, he said: "I have heard it two years ago, there are nearby ghosts who go to Fengzhou to play, and when I came back, I said that I had seen a hundred ghosts walking at night in the territory of Fengzhou, all of them were new ghosts, led by old ghosts, and I don't know where to go......"

"Is that so?"

The Taoist came with some interest.

"Don't dare to deceive the immortal master!"

"Don't hide it, I'm very curious about it, but Fengzhou is far away, and it's inconvenient to go for the time being." The Taoist said to him, "The road is not shallow, good at night walking, and has the ability to hide his whereabouts. ”

“……”

The scholar ghost lowered his head, his eyes rolling.

Although Fengzhou is next to Angzhou, where Changjing is located, but it is not close, if he can leave, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds can fly, unless this person has the ability of immortals, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch himself.

However, this person seems to really have immortal skills.

And he dares to let himself go, I'm afraid he also has the ability to clean himself up.

“……”

The scholar ghost stared down at the ground, his eyes kept rolling, and after thinking for a moment, he raised his head and asked, "Did you go for the immortal master in the next place, and the immortal master let it go?" ”

"It's not."

"Huh?"

"It is not right to steal at the foot, and it is also appropriate to be punished, but if you sincerely repent and help the next step, you should forgive." The Taoist looked at him calmly, "However, the foot to go to Fengzhou, not only is the road thousands of miles away, but it may be dangerous, if the foot agrees to go, it should be rewarded no matter what, and it cannot be offset by it." ”

“……”

The scholar ghost looked up at him and was stunned.

I only heard the Taoist in front of him say to him: "If you can finish the investigation for Zaixia, after returning to Changjing, you should ask for a cup of tea under your feet." ”

"A cup of tea ......"

"A cup of tea!"

The scholar was stunned for a long time, and then he lowered his head, and his tone was different from before: "I don't know where Naye Mountain is in Fengzhou?" How do you find it next? After looking for it, how can you find the immortal master when you come back? ”

"Yeshan is south of Fengzhou, Zi County, Yinnan County, and there are ghost faces and grass on the mountain, which looks like this." The Taoist showed him the ghost face grass, "Where this grass grows, there must be a large number of yin ghosts." ”

"Understood!"

"In the next surname Song Mingyou, living in Willow Street, Changjing West City, in the middle of the position, there is a 'Dao' word flag at the door, and there is a store sign of 'removing rats and worries', just come down and find it."
