Chapter 10: The Female Ghost of Lingquan Palace (1)
Ah Jiu squinted his eyes, and also looked in the direction of his angry gaze, but saw a woman covered in a black veil from head to toe slowly walking over, it was the female ghost who appeared with Ao Yin that day, the previous owner of this Lingquan Palace.
Judging by her appearance, she should have been hiding here for a long time.
"So you helped him get helpers? I thought you had slipped away? ”
The female ghost stopped when she walked five steps away from Ah Jiu, looked at the white cat in front of Ah Jiu, and said slowly.
"Meow!" Another sharp cat meow, apparently, the white cat did not like this female ghost.
Ah Jiu looked at her, then at the peach tree that was surrounded by ghosts and was already dying, tilted his head and asked her, "Won't you save Taoqi?" ”
"Why should I save him?" It seems that Ah Jiu has just been discovered, and the female ghost said coldly without raising her head.
"He's only for you, so I'm going to help Aine collect ghosts." Ah Jiu said with a smile.
"For me?" The female ghost snorted coldly, and finally looked up, she looked at Ah Jiu and said lightly, "I want to tell a story, would you like to hear it?" ”
"I want to hear about it."
Ah Jiu smiled and sat down on a big rock next to him, while the female ghost also sat on the ground, thought for a while and said, "Where to start?"
Let's start with the day I die!
Actually, even I don't know if I died that day......"
“…… On that day, I quarreled with the emperor because he had favored a new concubine who had entered the palace. That concubine has been against me since I was a child, and he knows it. I complained a few more words, and he walked away.
After he left, I couldn't stay in the Lingquan Palace, so I came out to relax, and somehow I walked under a peach tree.
Although I was angry at the time, I also knew that in this palace, even the emperor had too much helplessness, some things he had to do, and some concubines he had to spoil.
I thought of how much he was kind to me, especially the peach tree in front of me, which he moved from Kanglong Mountain with me when I first entered the palace. ”
As she said this, the female ghost's voice rose slightly, and Ah Jiu could even see the corners of her mouth upturned through her veil.
But soon, her voice lowered, and she said faintly: "It's a pity, that's my last happiness as a person." ”
As she spoke, her tone returned to her previous flat tone, and she continued:
"When I made up my mind not to mess with the Emperor about this matter again, I decided to go back to Lingquan Palace, cook a table for the Emperor that he liked the most, pull him back from the woman, and lock his body and mind to me again.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that the moment I turned around, a fishy wind suddenly hit me, and I only felt a pain in my ear, and I didn't know anything after that. ”
"But Ain?" Ah Jiu interjected at this time.
"He likes to eat the brain marrow of mortals the most, and often the people who eat the brain marrow of him will not die for a while, and will become the walking dead and be controlled by him.
And even if these people die, he will not let go of their souls, and often become ghosts, driven by him to harm more people. In the past hundred years, he has killed many people! ”
The female ghost nodded and continued: "That's right, when I was conscious, I was already a ghost under his control, and what was floating in front of me was my hanged corpse, hanging on the peach tree that I and the emperor had moved with my own hands. ”
