Li Chang'an, who sneaked back to the mansion, unfortunately bumped into a monster awakening, and for some consideration, he chose to take the risk of staying and observing nearby.

......

It was getting dark very quickly.

The porch was already full of lanterns.

The dim red light, the hazy rain, the mildew-stained walls and beams, the singing beauties, the feasts and drinks of the high-rollers, and the rich but untraceable demonic aura that overflowed the entire courtyard.

Li Changan sat at the end of the seat near the door, drank a glass of cold wine, and watched quietly.

Who is the youkai that is about to awaken?

Is it the restaurant that shuttles through the banquet and greets customers with smiles and compliments, is it a guest who is obsessed with cups or whispers to his companions, or is it the beauty on the stage with plain makeup?

Li Changan noticed that there were actually two people performing on stage, in addition to the "Golden Bell", there was also an old man with strings to accompaniment.

And at this time.

After singing the opening Xiao Ling, he was replaced with a miscellaneous play, because of the limited stage conditions, there was no dance, only singing.

The content is an old-fashioned story of a talented and beautiful woman, most likely a conjecture when she was poor, but because Jin Ling'er's voice was beautiful and full of emotion, it slowly quieted down the banquet, and even Li Changan was gradually attracted to her.

The lyrics and songs roughly sing:

There is a scholar surnamed Jin in Puzhou, who has good poetry and writing, and has a noble character, but he has tried and failed, and he still has no fame until he is nearly thirty years old, and because his family is poor, he can only ask someone to find a merchant surnamed Lin in Yuxiang to serve as a west seat.

The family surnamed Lin has a daughter, twenty-eight years old, born beautiful, because of admiring the talent of the scholar, she has been close to him for a long time, and the two have secretly fornicated.

It was another year of autumn boudoir, and Jin Shusheng was already disheartened, but under the persuasion of Miss Lin, he still participated in this township test. I don't want to, but I am in the middle of the list. The two were overjoyed, and Miss Lin even used her private house to quietly sell her jewelry and sponsor scholars to go to Beijing to take the exam. At the time of parting, the two naturally made an oath to the mountains and seas, and if they lived up to it, they would do whatever they wanted.

The scholar seems to have changed his luck.

After some hard study, he was among the best in the spring season, and was selected as the new champion for the Son of Heaven in the palace examination. Since then, he has been appreciated by the important ministers of the court and recruited as his son-in-law.

It's a pity that a few years later, he offended the powerful people of the dynasty and was reprimanded and returned to his hometown.

On the way, the road passes through Yu Township.

When he was disappointed in life, he inevitably remembered the old things of adulthood, and the scholar scolded the servant to inquire, only to know that Miss Lin had already married a wife.

When it was gloomy, there was a rich servant who came to the door with a heavy gift and invited him to the banquet, which was the Lin family.

He drove to the outskirts of the city with his servants, passed through a hundred acres of peach forest, and then a hundred acres of mulberry forest, and finally arrived at a luxury manor, in which there were dozens of mansions, more than 100 mansions, and countless pavilions and pavilions.

During the period, the owner of the Lin family diligently persuaded the wine, recounted the old friendship, and called the family to visit, Miss Lin was also among them, the appearance did not change, the charm was especially great, the scholar couldn't help it, and even with the old code, Miss Lin met at night.

That night, Miss Lin came to the meeting

After the old love lingered (harmonious), I never expected that Miss Lin would tell him: Everyone in this manor is a ghost!

It turned out that after the scholar rushed to take the exam, the matter between him and Miss Lin was poked out by a good person, and the reputation of the Lin family was ruined, and he never returned, so the Lin family had to find an honest outsider to be a son-in-law.

However.

This son-in-law is actually demonized.

On the wedding night, he ate up the Lin family, turning all their souls into ghosts, leaving only Miss Lin with a wisp of soul, because of her beauty, she stayed by her side and made a play (harmony) thing. And this luxurious manor and thousands of family fortunes are all snatched by demons with witchcraft.

The scholar was frightened, and under the guidance of Miss Lin, he escaped from the Lin family alone overnight.

He fled in the wilderness at night, and on the way he ran into an old Taoist priest, who was first astonished and then overjoyed. It turned out that this Taoist priest had always wanted to eradicate the monster that occupied the Lin family, but this monster had cultivated to a high level, and the Taoist priest was powerless.

But when he bumped into the scholar this time, the Taoist priest saw at a glance that the scholar's face was unspeakably precious, his head was full of pure energy, and he had the order of Zaifu, and the demons did not dare to infringe. If you use the nobility of a scholar, you will definitely be able to eradicate this demon.

So the two sneaked back to the manor, invited Miss Lin to discuss secretly, and finally designed to eradicate the monster.

When the monsters die, the ghosts dissipate. In the huge manor, only Miss Lin has nowhere to rely on her lonely soul.

The Taoist priest also told the scholar that although Miss Lin was subject to demons, she never harmed people's lives, but often helped innocent people who fell into the hands of demons. The scholar remembered that when he was warm with Miss Lin, although her skin was cold, she was silky and smoother than a woman in the world, so he took the initiative to take in Miss Lin and returned to her hometown with her beautiful "people" and Wanguan's family wealth.

After returning to her hometown, Miss Lin honored her in-laws and was courteous to the scholar's wife, and soon gave birth to a son for the scholar.

A few years later, the scholar's original wife died, his mother died of illness, and his father was paralyzed in bed.

One day, an old friend who I hadn't seen for many years came to visit.

The two were having a banquet in a restaurant in the city, and when the wine was hot, they talked about the old things, and the old friend joked, saying that the scholar's current wife was very similar to the original Miss Lin, and it was because he had no feelings for Miss Lin.

It turned out that this old friend was the one who introduced the scholar to the Lin family as a western seat.

After all, Miss Lin is not a living person, which inevitably attracts gossip, and the scholar never mentions it to outsiders. But the secret buried in the heart is like a seed buried in the soil, and sooner or later it will come out.

Coincidentally, the old friend is also half an informed (harmonious) person, and the scholar took advantage of this to spit out the story of the year.

Unexpectedly, the old friend was scared of the wine in the cup and the spoon in his hand.

It turns out that there is another version of the story about the Lin family.

After the scholar went to Beijing to take the exam, Miss Lin's belly grew bigger day by day, even if she stayed at home, she could not escape the rumors. Miss Lin gritted her teeth and insisted at the beginning, but after the spring, the scholar never returned, and there was news that he was about to marry an important minister.

Miss Lin couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river with her soon-to-be-born child. After her death, her parents also died of depression, and the Lin family disappeared. As for the peach forest, mulberry forest and manor that the scholar has seen, the old friend said frankly that in the suburbs of Yu Township, there are only thatch, thorns and mass graves.

The scholar returned home in despair, inquired about the family, and learned that Miss Lin had left her servants and took her son to her father's yard. He sneaked into the courtyard, but did not dare to enter the ward, only peeking out the window.

Just one eye.

Instantly.

Blood clotting.

In the room, Miss Lin used scissors to cut her son's skin, and then reached out to pull it, and actually "took off" her son's skin as if she were undressing. Beneath the skin, there was not bright red flesh, but black gelatinous pus and brown carrion.

Miss Lin put her hand into her son's abdomen again, took out a lump of pus and blood, turned her head to the bedside of the scholar's father, and then cut his stomach open with scissors. The scholar's father was just an ordinary old man, under the blade, his eyes bulged out in pain, his hands and feet trembled, and there was a sound in his throat, but he couldn't make a scream.

It wasn't until Miss Lin dug out his kidneys alive and filled in the rotten flesh in her hands that the torture of the old man finally ended, but the light in his eyes had already dissipated and there was no sound.

Miss Lin's face did not change, but she skillfully replaced the fresh kidney into her son's body, put on the skin for her son, and stitched the opening.

Not much.

The son has changed back into that handsome little Langjun again.

The child pointed to his heart, raised his head and asked Miss Lin:

"Mother, grandpa's heart seems to be rotten. ”

"The organs of the living are rotten in the body of the dead. ”

"Mother, someone is peeking outside. ”

"Don't be afraid, it's your daddy. ”

"Is Daddy going to be angry?"

"Don't worry, it just so happens that your grandfather's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys have been used up. ”

............

Wrong.

Li Changan frowned unconsciously.

This story is very wrong!

It's not too fake, it's too true.

Where in the world are there so many talented and beautiful women, people and ghosts have deep affection? Many of them are interested in seeing lust, starting from chaos and eventually abandoning, and are ghosts revenge and demons eating people?

However, the opera in the workshop is very smooth, no matter how twists and turns the beginning is, the ending must be beautiful, but the story told by Jin Ling'er is too dark and thrilling.

Just listening to the lyrics, "Pull out the intestines and tie the red rope, gouge out the chest and abdomen, and never change, and dig out the heart and lungs." "When you hear it in your ears, your nose seems to be able to smell blood......

"Daoist, wake up!"
