Chapter 57: The Ghosts of Wangjia Town (Thanks to 'Sanjiu Er is the No. 1 in the World' for rewarding Lin Xing's character with 100,000 coins)
"Master, during your absence, even Tianqing Tower was raided by Zhang Dashuai."
"Shi'er, Ling'er, and Ke'er were all killed......
"The other sisters and members of the sect in the city were also captured by Zhang Dashuai......
"It must be Jing Yuwei's slut who deliberately released their information and lured Zhang Dashuai's people over."
"She deliberately released the news of you, Master, before."
"Master, what should we do now?"
Jing Shiyu stood in front of the window, listening to the chatter of several girls behind her.
After they finished speaking, Jing Shiyu smiled faintly and said, "My senior sister seems to be blaming me for not saving her dragon and tiger generals." β
Glancing at the lost apprentices behind him, Jing Shiyu said lightly: "Don't worry, since the master has returned, he will avenge them." β
As she spoke, she looked at a young girl and asked, "Shuting, what else do you have to say?" β
The girl known as Shuting said with a disgruntled face: "This is clearly Jing Yuwei's personal vendetta in the communiquΓ©, and she said that she would join forces, but she was stabbed in the back, I think she wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the master, so that she can become a real saint." β
"Master, in the past two days that you have been away, the dragons have been leaderless, and the manpower we have arranged in Taiping County has suffered heavy losses, but the other factions in Dongya Mansion that she is responsible for leading still retain a lot of strength, Master...... I'm just afraid that before Zhang Tiande is defeated and dies, Jing Yuwei can't help but attack us first. β
Seeing that Jing Shiyu still didn't speak, the girl known as Shuting paused, and finally said, "Master, during the time you left, Uncle Shi sent another letter. β
Jing Shiyu's eyes flashed, looked at her and said, "Oh? What does my uncle want to say? β
Shuting said boldly: "Master, Uncle Shi said that if you are willing, he can come to help you." β
The cold light in Jing Shiyu's eyes flashed, and she looked at her apprentices, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, it seems that my good apprentices want to marry your master and me?" β
Shuting hurriedly explained: "Master, although Uncle Shi has paid a little attention, his cultivation is profound, and he is powerful in the sect, so he is a good match." β
Another girl said: "Yes, Master, when a man reaches that age, who doesn't have a few concubines, Uncle Shi has promised you that if you want, he can kill all the concubines......"
Shuting said: "When the time comes, you will become a flat wife and become a sister with your grandmother, which is also a good story in the teaching......
Shuting couldn't understand why her master just refused to marry her uncle because there were so many benefits, and it was completely a broad road within the sect.
Seeing that his two disciples looked bitter and good for themselves, Jing Shiyu said lightly: "As a teacher, it has not yet reached the point of betraying his hue, tell you Uncle Shi, he doesn't need to interfere in the affairs of Dongya Mansion, now that I have come back, I have my own plans." β
After they all left, Jing Shiyu silently sensed the spiritual thoughts in her body.
A number then appeared in her mind, and she thought in her heart: "When I was in the secret realm, I seemed to be too strong, and now I am injured in the Dashuai Mansion, and my current spiritual thoughts can only be maintained at about 5 women at most." β
"Alas, if you can't bring Lin Xing under the door in the future, then this trip will really be a big loss."
β¦β¦
Night, Wangjia Town.
The originally bustling and lively town now looks bleak.
Old man Li and his son were cleaning the hotel lobby.
Dongya Mansion has not been peaceful in recent years, and there are many fewer guests staying than in the past.
Recently, the town has been haunted by ghosts again, and the business of his inn is getting worse day by day, and it can only be said that it can barely support it.
I thought there would be no guests today, but at this time, I saw a group of big men on horseback.
"Shopkeeper, I want to ask you something, have you seen a young man in a carriage......"
Listening to the other party's description, Old Man Li shook his head and said that there is not a single guest in the hotel now.
So he said to the convenience that he wanted to stay here, and brought in an old man with a ravine-covered face from outside.
Old man Li thought about it, but still reminded: "A few guests, this town is haunted by ghosts now, and it is best to sleep under the bed at night, don't sleep in the bed." β
I don't know if the group listened, but Old Man Li and his son went to sleep under the bed after cleaning.
Originally, such a group of guests could come on such a day, which had already surprised Old Man Li.
But late that night, Old Man Li was woken up by the sound of a bang outside the store, which startled him, and he thought that the rumored ghost had found him.
After waiting for a while, he cautiously looked out the window, only to find that a carriage had stopped outside at some point, and it was the driver who was driving the door.
"The shopkeeper is not there? Open the door and we stay. β
When he opened the door to welcome the guests, Old Man Li saw a young man dressed in a different way get out of the car.
He suddenly remembered that the group of big men just now asked people, could it be the young man in front of him?
At this moment, I heard the young man ask, "This uncle, I heard that Wangjiazhen has been haunted by ghosts recently?" β
Old man Li's face stiffened when he heard this, and then he sighed: "Alas, this son actually knows about this, how can he dare to come to the town?" β
The young man smiled slightly, "I'm here to destroy the ghosts." β
Old man Li smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Don't joke with this son, how many masters and masters have come these days have been eaten by that ghost, and the son should rest early today and leave early tomorrow morning." β
The young man, or Lin Xing, asked curiously, "What does that ghost look like?" β
Old man Li didn't want to say it at all, but he couldn't stand Lin Xing's money, so he said: "Alas, it is said that this ghost was transformed by the daughter of a big family in the town after throwing herself into a well in the backyard......"
The Zhou family in the town has been in business for generations and is notoriously wealthy.
And the daughter of the Zhou family is said to have been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or needlework, she has learned very well. Even until he was fifteen years old, he never left his home half a step.
Lin Xing was puzzled: "Why did such an otaku girl throw herself into the well?" β
Old man Li said: "It is said that the fiancΓ© of the daughter of the Zhou family was killed by robbers on the way to Xizhou to buy goods. β
"The Zhou family is a family of rituals, and after this daughter found out, in order to observe the festival, she threw herself into the well and was martyred."
"That day, the Zhou family also invited people to beat gongs and drums, which was so lively."
β¦β¦
Just as Lin Xing was asking about Old Man Li's ghost, a man quietly looked in the direction where Lin Xing was through the crack in the door.
After seeing Lin Xing's appearance clearly, he immediately retreated and ran back to the room.
"The owner of the village, the one who is talking to the old man outside is Lin Xing under Zhang Tiande."
A trace of hatred flashed in the old man's eyes, and he asked the other person, "When will Mr. Zhao, Mr. Fang, and Mr. Situ arrive?" β
Another subordinate said, "Count the distance of a few people to this place, I'm afraid it's going to be tomorrow night." β
The old man took a deep breath: "Then let that thief live one more night." β
