Chapter 55: The Ghost Theory

The east of the great river went to the waves, and how many romantic characters through the ages couldn't help laughing and talking.

Shen Jin'an and his entourage bid farewell to the Xishu military camp under Fengdu City, and without the slightest pause, they went straight into the distance.

In the evening, everyone ate some food and went back to their rooms to rest.

Because he stayed up all night, Shen Jinan slept fairly calmly during the day, and the fly in the ointment was that he often couldn't sleep at night.

It happened that Lu Jiangnan also had insomnia, and the two sat on the deck and chatted.

Lu Jiangnan said with a heavy face: "Do you really want to go to Chongdu?" ”

Shen Jin'an nodded.

Lu Jiangnan showed a somewhat worried expression, frowned and said: "You have already made a big fuss on the Yangjiang River, I'm afraid that the people of the entire Xishu will know that you are here, so you are not afraid that all forces will twist you into powder?" You must know that Xishu is not as good as Beiyan. ”

Shen Jin'an heard Lu Jiangnan's worry, but he didn't show the slightest nervousness, but said with a dumb smile: "Don't worry about this, don't say it far away, just say that the four words of Beiyan Shizi are a well-known signboard no matter where they are placed, not to mention those small sects, even if Murong Di comes, I'm afraid it won't work." And Murong Di has met a few times, but he is a little elegant, although his ambition is not big, he can be regarded as understanding a little truth. After the city of Xishu was broken that year, Shen Yue was more indulgent to his officials in order to expand military salaries and food. But from this point of view, Shen Yue has never been a good person, and he himself often says that if there is really an underworld in the world, then I am afraid that he will be the first to enter the underworld. On the contrary, Murong Di is not bad, and under his governance in Xishu over the years, the population and land taxes have grown a lot. You must know that a person's choice generally reflects his position, and everyone knows the saying "Compassion is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of wealth." However, they only understood the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence was, "After winning the army, do great mercy, and after gaining wealth, do great righteousness." "If he is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, the current Murong Di is a white bird, those dirty things, I think he will definitely not do it, at least not clearly. If I really have something, let alone anyone else, even he may not be happy in his own heart. ”

Lu Jiangnan didn't understand Shen Jin'an's words and said: "You are fooling the ghost, it's really fake." ”

Shen Jinan got up and stretched and said, "Believe it or not, but let me tell you first, Fengdu City is different from other places, not only are there countless ghosts here, but there are also people who have seen many corpses crawling out of the grave and walking into the mountains." ”

What Shen Jin'an didn't expect was that Lu Jiangnan, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, tightened his sleeves after hearing the talk of ghosts, and comforted himself: "I don't believe it!" ”

Shen Jinan smiled indifferently: "Believe it or not, but when the time comes, you will really see a ghost that can move, so be careful when the time comes." ”

When Lu Jiangnan heard this, he suddenly felt that a little cool breeze poured into his neck, and he said inwardly: "Fart, I am a dignified woman who walks the rivers and lakes, standing upright and walking straight, how can I be like you, I know this and worry about that all day long, and my mind is full of dirty things." ”

Shen Jinan also smiled flatteringly: "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Jiangnan couldn't bear to get up and replied: "Use your care, you pervert." ”

Shen Jin'an quipped: "You're really right, you better stay away from me, otherwise I don't know when you get pregnant, I can't explain it clearly." ”

"You..."

Originally, he planned to come out to breathe, but when he went back, he was angry.

Despite this, Shen Jin'an still didn't intend to let go of Lu Jiangnan, and hurriedly followed behind his ass and said: "Don't be afraid if you encounter a ghost, we have some peach wood on the ship, and when the time comes, let Xiao Wuzi make you two talismans and wear them on your body, which can be regarded as being able to report safety." ”

Dogs can't change their eating.

Lu Jiangnan's face turned pale with fright by Shen Jin'an's words, and he wanted to refute Shen Jin'an, but he didn't know what to say, so he secretly made a promise in his heart to wait until his own affairs were completed, and he would split the five horses, no! This is still too cheap for him, and he must be sent to the palace as a eunuch.

If Shen Jin'an could know what Lu Jiangnan was thinking, he might have to say: "The motive is not pure, and the mind is not right." ”

Only Shen Jin'an knows Lu Jiangnan's status in Shen Jin'an, unlike those women outside, Lu Jiangnan's body always exudes a smell, which Shen Jin'an has never smelled, but in terms of figure, although it is not extraordinarily plump, it can be regarded as something, as for the rest of the place, Shen Jin'an, who had peeked at Lu Jiangnan's bathing, smiled, which can be regarded as the best.

Just when Shen Jin'an was thinking wildly, a faint voice came.

"What are you thinking about again, you kid, the body protection miasma has completely gone astray."

Shen Jin'an looked in the direction of the voice, Tang Wuxin was sitting at the door yawning.

"Why didn't you sleep tonight?" Shen Jinan said embarrassedly.

Tang Wuxin didn't save any face for Shen Jin'an, and explained straightforwardly: "You two are flirting here, old man, I'm so old, naturally I don't want to listen to the root of the wall, but I noticed that the strong qi in your body is constantly surging, and I am afraid that you will do bad things, so I am kind enough to remind you." ”

Shen Jin'an looked at his slightly bulging lower limbs blankly, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Old Tang, do you know about the haunting on Fengdu Mountain?" ”

Tang Wuxin said angrily: "You little bastard, you don't know if you dare to love yourself." Then you deceived other people's little girls, but you were stunned. ”

"You are a senior, so if you don't understand something, I naturally have to ask you more." Shen Jin'an said.

Tang Wuxin was just chatting on his lips, but he still had great respect for Shen Jin'an in his heart: "The theory of ghosts and gods is generally some nonsense, just like the words of those fortune tellers, if you believe it, you don't believe it." Old man, I have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for half my life, and I have seen so many people, but if you want to talk about fairies and ghosts, there are really none. However, the Xishu region has bordered the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains since ancient times, surrounded by mountains in Yunnan-Guizhou, with many rivers, and no people, so they believe more about gods and ghosts, but just now I heard you tell a story about corpses, which is like a corpse chaser. ”

"Corpse chaser?" Shen Jinan asked.

Tang Wuxin sighed and said: "Yungui Mountain pays attention to a fallen leaf to return to its roots, but because of its inconvenient transportation, those who die in a foreign country will spend a lot of money to bring it home. ”

Shen Jin'an pondered for a while: "I've heard of this, but shouldn't the corpse chasers be in the Han and Han regions?" ”

"You don't know this, it's far easier to earn money from the dead than it is to earn money from the living, the grave cryers in the Central Plains, the spiritualists in Liaodong, and the corpse chasers of the two Han Dynasty all eat this bowl of rice, as for the difference, the corpse chasers in the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains are more inclined to use Gu worms to drive the corpses forward, while the corpse chasers of the two Han Dynasty are more inclined to Taoism."

Tang Wuxin is more like a living dictionary for Shen Jin'an, no matter what problems Shen Jin'an has, Tang Wuxin can explain it.

When dawn, when everyone was ready to eat, Shen Jinan said: "When we get to the vicinity of Chongdu, we will find a dock and change from water to land, Xiao Wuzi, after stopping the boat for a while, you go to find a carriage and prepare some food." ”

Hearing that Xiao Wuzi finally didn't have to take the boat on the boat, he suddenly smiled, he had been drifting on the water all this time, not to mention eating, Xiao Wuzi almost vomited out his bitter gall.

"Don't worry, Childe, I'll go in a moment." Xiao Wuzi responded.

Lu Jiangnan said with some trepidation; "Do we have to go overland?"

Shen Jin'an, who knew what Lu Jiangnan's reason was for worrying, said with a smile; "What are you afraid of, for thousands of years, there have been dozens of times more people living underground than people living on the ground, do you think that there are no souls who have died in this Yangjiang. Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that the water ghost in it, which is not looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to the arrival of a ghost for the dead. How? Would you like to accompany them? ”

Shen Jin'an's explanation can be said to be getting darker and darker, and Lu Jiangnan, who was originally a little afraid of ghosts and gods, didn't dare to speak when he heard this.

Tang Wuxin is still very concerned about Lu Jiangnan: "What are you afraid of this female doll, haven't you heard such a sentence?" The poor are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal are afraid of the dead. Whether it is a human or a ghost, as long as you are fierce, ordinary people dare not say anything to you, let alone a few lonely ghosts. ”

When Lu Jiangnan heard this, he asked timidly; "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Tang Wuxin was a little speechless.

Lu Jiangnan nodded lightly when he heard this, and then clenched his fists tightly, and his originally nervous face also stretched a little.

Shen Jinan also took the opportunity to rub the oil and said: "I suddenly remembered that there is a very effective way to deal with ghosts, do you want to hear it?" ”

"You say." Lu Jiangnan immediately said.

Shen Jin'an leaned into Lu Jiangnan's ear, lowered his voice and said: "As for me, I once saw in an ancient book that ghosts are cold things, and I am most afraid of meeting young people with very strong yang energy. So no matter where you go, as long as you sleep with me, I guess ordinary ghosts don't dare to get close easily. ”

Lu Jiangnan, who still had a smile on his face just now, immediately lowered his face.

"Get out."

Tang Wuxin on the side couldn't listen to the topic of this young man and woman at all, and took advantage of the time to walk around by himself while on the boat, young man, after all, it was good.

I have a pot of spring, I don't know who to give, listen to the clouds in the bright moon whispering, look at the bright stars in the sky, like us children of the rivers and lakes, wherever we go, what are the demons and monsters, because where we go is naturally not very peaceful.
