Chapter 290: What Did You Know Before You Died?
"You...... What kind of weapon are you?! β
A slightly stunned voice suddenly came from behind him, causing the smile on Ye Chen's face to stiffen instantly.
He hurriedly turned around, pulled out the revolver on his waist, and vigilantly aimed at the red-clothed girl who appeared behind him.
"Who are you?"
"What do you say?" The girl in red didn't have a good breath and said, "You just destroyed the paper cat I possessed, and you asked me who I am?" β
Ye Chen was slightly stunned, and then exclaimed: "It's you, you're not a monster, you're a female ghost?!" β
The girl in red pursed her lips, ignored Ye Chen, who was full of vigilance, walked to the table behind him, and picked up the red paper with a distressed face.
"Oops, it's really completely broken, do you know how difficult it is for me to cut a paper figure - Ye Chen, you have to compensate me!"
"......" Ye Chen frowned, "You know my name?" β
"Of course, I came to you on this trip, I wanted to lure you outside the Ren Mansion first, and then tell me my intentions, but who would have thought that you guy would be so hateful, not only disguised garlic as sugar, but also used it to bully a poor, weak and helpless little kitten, which really annoyed me!"
As she spoke, the girl in red couldn't help but glare at Ye Chen, and the posture of the little daughter between her eyebrows made Ye Chen's defense slightly lowered.
He could feel that the female ghost in front of him didn't seem to have any ill will towards him.
But no matter what, ghosts are ghosts, people and ghosts have different paths, Ye Chen naturally didn't dare to put down the revolver in his hand.
I saw him frown, glanced at Ren Tingting who was sleeping on the bed, and said in a deep voice: "So what are you here for?" β
The girl in red turned her hand and put away the tattered paper cat, looked at Ye Chen and said with a smile: "Please go to the wild temple in the northwest of Zhuangwai, my sister wants to see you." β
"Your sister?" Ye Chen frowned and said in surprise, "It's also a female ghost?" β
The girl in red smiled and nodded: "Of course." β
Ye Chen's face was strange when he heard this, and he couldn't help but sigh, and said: "People and ghosts have different paths, although I am handsome, but after all, I am a living person, even if your sister takes a fancy to me, it is impossible for me to be with her, not to mention, I still have a husband of a wife......
Before he could finish speaking, the girl in red laughed angrily at him.
"You guy, so narcissistic, why does my sister take a fancy to you-bah, I really don't know what to do, so that you know, although my sister is a ghost, but she is extremely talented, with the appearance of a ghost and fairy, even if you want to marry in the future, it is also to marry the power of the underworld, you are just a mortal scholar, what qualifications do you have to be put in the eyes of my sister?"
Ye Chen smiled: "In that case, why does your sister want to see me?" β
The girl in red snorted lightly: "My sister said that you were his old acquaintance during his lifetime, but she had incomplete memories after her death, and she couldn't remember her past and your identity, so I wanted to talk to you alone." β
β¦β¦ What did you know before you died?
Ye Chen was slightly stunned, and said thoughtfully: "Does the girl have evidence?" β
The girl in red said proudly: "Yes, my sister taught me a poem, saying that as long as I read this poem to you, you will go to see her!" β
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with interest: "Oh? Read it aloud and listen to it. β
The girl in red coughed lightly and said solemnly: "You listen well - the scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, looking inside and outside the Great Wall, but the rest of the recklessness, up and down the big river, suddenly lost the surging, mountain dance...... Mountain Dance ...... What is the mountain dance? β
The girl in red was distressed and pondered, like a scumbag who couldn't memorize poetry in later generations.
Ye Chen couldn't bear to see it, and couldn't help but add: "Mountain Dance Silver Snake, Yuan Chi wax elephant, want to compete with Tiangong!" β
"Yes, yes!"
The girl in red's eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again: "That's it, it seems that you are really my sister's old acquaintance, and you even know the word that my sister taught me!" β
β¦β¦ What did you know before you died?
It's a fellow from a previous life!
Ye Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Although the poem "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan" was written by a teacher in 1936, it was not published for the first time until 1945.
And the timeline of this world is extremely high, not to mention 1945, not even 1936 has not yet arrived, and the people who know this poem are either the teachers themselves who have a preliminary draft in their minds, or they are time-travelers from later generations.
The sister of the girl in red in front of her should obviously be the latter.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but confirm again: "Is your sister really a female ghost?" β
The girl in red said angrily: "Of course, will I still lie to you?" β
There are still traversers who have become ghosts?
This luck is even better than him!
Ye Chen pondered for a moment or two, and said softly: "Help me reply to your sister, just say that I will go to see her tomorrow." β
The girl in red frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "Why does it have to be tomorrow, not now?" β
Ye Chen said softly: "Because I still have to bring Brother Li, Brother Li is also your sister's old acquaintance." β
The girl in red thought for a while and nodded: "It's okay, since that's the case, then I'll go first, people and ghosts have different paths, and without the possessed paper man, the ghost energy on my body is not good for you - oh yes, don't forget to bring me forty-nine pieces of red paper tomorrow, you ruined my paper man, and you have to compensate me for another one!" β
"Okay, yes, I remember!"
Ye Chen smiled and nodded.
Knowing that the female ghost in red in front of him was the sister of the traverser, Ye Chen's mentality immediately changed.
He didn't care about the female ghost's offense before, he just thought it was a prank by his friend's sister.
The girl in red didn't seem to expect Ye Chen to suddenly become so talkative, so she glanced at him in surprise, and then after a little thought, she waved her sleeves.
In an instant, an invisible fluctuation spread throughout the Ren Mansion.
Ye Chen thought thoughtfully, thinking that this should be the other party who unlocked the ecstasy spell.
When the girl in red turned into green smoke and disappeared in front of her, Ye Chen inserted the left wheel back into her waist, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently shook Ren Tingting's shoulder.
ββ¦β¦ What's wrong? β
Seeing Ren Tingting open her eyes in a bit of confusion, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Early the next morning.
Li Yun pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard a little depressed.
He originally thought that Old Lady Ren would soon be corpsed, but who would have thought that nothing would happen last night.
What the hell is going on?
In the courtyard, Uncle Jiu, who was sweeping with a broom, caught a glimpse of Li Yun's expression, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
"What, I'm disappointed?"
"It's a little." Li Yun nodded, then looked at Uncle Nine and said suspiciously, "Uncle Nine, aren't you going to the mountain today to find a good feng shui treasure land for Old Lady Ren, why haven't you left yet?" β
Hearing Li Yun's words, Uncle Nine became angry.
He said angrily: "It's not because of Wencai's lazy donkey, he can't wake up, he can't turn around!" β
As soon as the words fell, Wen Cai ran out with a cane of different lengths: "Master, I'm ready!" β
Uncle Nine looked him up and down, and snorted coldly, "Where's the compass?" β
Wen Cai looked embarrassed, and quickly turned around and ran back to the house to get the compass.
Looking at Wencai's back, Uncle Nine couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Thick branches and leaves, lose three and four!" β
Ever since he had the idea of accepting apprentices, Uncle Nine saw that his two apprentices were becoming more and more unpleasant, and always thought that if he was replaced by Li Yun or Ye Chen, he would definitely not make the same low-level mistake as Wen Cai Qiusheng.
It's better to collect a real mantle as soon as possible!
If it goes on like this, sooner or later it will be ruined by these two bastards.
Uncle Nine sighed in his heart, and his thoughts of accepting apprentices became stronger.
Li Yun watched it funny next to him, living in Yizhuang is the benefit of this, and he can see this pair of comedy masters and apprentices every day.
Soon, Wen Cai ran to Uncle Nine with a compass and a ruler stick of different lengths on his back.
"Master, this time I'm really ready!"
Uncle Nine looked at it again and bowed slightly: "Then let's go!" β
After speaking, Uncle Nine put the broom at the base of the wall, put his hands behind his back, and turned around and walked towards the gate of Yizhuang.
Wen Cai greeted Li Yun with a smile, and then hurriedly followed, asking in a low voice, "Master, what kind of land are we looking for this time?" β
Uncle Nine glanced at him and said lightly: "Of course, the best is Lian Zhen Fa Zu, quit the palace downstairs, open the account ups and downs, big and small, cross the gorge through the field, bee waist and crane knees, zigzag activities, the center of the pulse, the special cave star, the sharp picture is square, the dragon and tiger are embraced, and the mountains and rivers are guarded layer by layerββ"
Wen Cai looked embarrassed and muttered in a low voice: "I don't understand." β
Uncle Nine snorted: "This is something that has been digested before it is said!" β
Wen Cai pouted and said, "That is, I have a problem with my stomach." β
"It's not the stomach, it's the head!" Uncle Nine shook his head and sighed, "Your master and I have been wise and martial in my life, why are you ......?"
Wen Cai immediately smiled and continued: "If it's not that my apprentice is dull, how can I seem that my master is wise and powerful?" β
When Uncle Nine heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was angry and funny in his heart.
"Stinky boy, play hob meat with Master, right?"
Uncle Nine raised his hand and made a gesture to fight, but Wen Cai hurriedly dodged.
It was this dodge that accidentally bumped into Ye Chen who came from the door.
The compass in his hand flew out and was easily caught by Ye Chen's empty left hand.
Seeing this hand, Uncle Nine looked appreciative, and asked with a smile: "It's Ye Chen, why did you come to Yizhuang so early, did Master Ren call you here?" β
"Be careful next time."
Ye Chen handed the compass in his hand to Wen Cai, then turned his head to look at Uncle Nine and said with a smile: "No, I'm here to find Brother Li." β
Uncle Nine raised his eyebrows: "Oh? β
Ye Chen glanced at the compass in Wencai's hand and the ruler staff on his back, and said curiously: "Are you two going to the mountain to find a treasure land of feng shui?" β
Wen Cai hurriedly said: "That's right, are you interested, do you want to come along?" β
What he feared the most was to go up the mountain with Uncle Nine to find a good place for feng shui.
Because every time he did this, he had to carry everything for his master, and often he carried it for six or seven hours, Wencai's physique was not as good as Qiusheng's, and running down for six or seven hours was simply the most brutal torture in the world for him.
Being able to pull someone to share the bags is the best thing for him.
But alas......
"No!"
Although Ye Chen was very interested, he still refused with a smile: "I have some urgent matters to find Brother Li." β
"Okay."
Wen Cai was a little disappointed, but Uncle Nine glanced at the bag of red paper that Ye Chen was holding in his right hand, and couldn't help but be suspicious.
White and yellow are yang, red paper is yin, Ye Chen is a big living person, and he is not a festival, why buy so much red paper?
