Chapter Ninety-Eight: Changing Clothes (2)

When it was time for lunch, he was the only three of them to eat together, but there was still a wide variety of food on the table, which made people feel reveling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Liu Changqing took a bite of chicken leg and said: "I heard that if a person commits a big crime, on the eve of execution, he will eat big fish and meat, and he can do anything in this world, but he can't starve to death!"

Suo Ling continued: "I heard that the hungry ghost has a great appetite, but his throat is very thin, and he can't swallow anything. Liu Changqing nodded, and Suo Ling asked again: "Brother Liu, have you ever seen a living person executed?"

Liu Changqing took a big bite of chicken legs, his mouth was full of greasy, and said: "I've seen it! I've seen it more than once! I saw it a few times when I was a child, and there was a young man in the family next door who didn't study well and went to rob other people's things, and when they didn't follow him, he killed others and set fire to his body. Mo Cangsang said: "Killing people and setting fires is a big crime. ā€

Liu Changqing laughed and said, "Brother Ren said well! The government sometimes does good deeds! Catching traitors and punishing evil is what the government should do." ā€

Suo Ling asked: "If you cut off your head, you will cut off your head, why do you have to set it at three o'clock in the afternoon?" Liu Changqing glanced out of the door, at this time, the sun was shining, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and said: "You see this hour, it is the most prosperous time in the whole day, so the execution must be carried out at three o'clock in the afternoon." Otherwise, the ghost of the slain will haunt his killer, not to mention the executioner, and even the judge and the prison will be haunted by his ghost. Hearing this, Mo Cangsang moved his body in a trance and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Seeing that he was a little afraid of talking about ghosts, Liu Changqing secretly felt ridiculous, deliberately lowered his voice, and asked, "Brother Mo, do you know why the Zhang Mansion has spent so much effort to build so many inns and manors?"

Mo Cangsang put down his chopsticks and said nervously: "The son of the Zhang family is righteous, admires the heroes of the martial arts, scatters wealth and builds gardens, just to make friends, the world knows it, so why ask?" Liu Changqing looked left and right, and saw that the servants of the family were not around, and whispered: "You only know one of them, but you don't know the other." Did you know that there is an Anping Inn in Gangneung?"

Mo Cangsang said: "I don't know!" Liu Changqing said: "Anping Inn is the family business of the Zhang family, and it has been doing it all the time, but for some reason, it suddenly closed the door, do you know the reason?"

Mo Cangsang said: "I don't know!" Liu Changqing asked suspiciously: "Why don't you know anything? The inn is haunted! Everyone in Jiangling knows, how can you not know?" Mo Cangsang said: "Brother Liu, under the blue sky and white sun, you don't say such unreliable words." Liu Changqing said: "Huh? It's strange, why do you say I'm unreliable? This morning, Zhang hated the sky and left, do you know?"

Mo Cangsang still said: "I don't know!" Liu Changqing slurped his mouth a few times and said, "Your news is too ill-informed, why don't you know anything?" Mo Cangsang said: "He is not here at this time, he must be leaving!" Liu Changqing said: "Do you know that he is from Jiangling?" Mo Cangsang nodded and said: "I heard him speak with a Jiangling accent." Liu Changqing nodded and said, "Exactly, your mind is quite thoughtful." But you don't know, this person was originally not called Zhang Hatian, he was a monk in the Ciping Temple in Jiangling, and his Dharma name was called the one who was difficult. ā€

Mo Cangsang hesitated slightly, and asked, "Monk, I don't look like it! Brother Liu, you are deceiving me again." ā€

Liu Changqing said: "I'll tell you the truth, how can I deceive you? If you don't believe it, then forget it, anyway, there are a lot of ghosts in this Jiangling, I wanted to teach you a few tricks to defend yourself, and what kind of headless ghosts, angry ghosts, soul-detaining ghosts, and hair-eating ghosts will be provoked...... Mo Cangsang heard him say more than a dozen ghost names in one breath, and he couldn't help but be worried, and interrupted and asked: "He is a monk, so what?"

Liu Changqing said: "He is a monk, so he will specialize in doing things to overkill the undead!" Mo Cangsang blinked his eyes a few times and said, "Ah! I saw you two sneaky this morning...... Whispering, you're saying...... Did he give you a charm, didn't he? I saw that he gave you a booklet!" Liu Changqing patted his thigh and said, "Did you eavesdrop?"

Mo Cangsang waved his hand again and again, and said, "No! No! I just saw it from afar." Liu Changqing said: "I can overhear everything, but I can't hear ghost things." The charm was not given to me, but I was only taught some methods to break ghosts to defend myself. ā€

Mo Cangsang said: "Since you ...... Since there is a ghost, he is a monk, why don't you recite the scriptures and go over?"

Liu Changqing said: "There is a place on the back door path of Ciping Temple, the name is Funeral Incense Garden, you ask the elders, they all know, but they are very taboo, and they are secretive, do you know why?" Mo Cangsang said: "No...... I don't know!" Liu Changqing said: "That place is a paradise for ghosts and a pure land for demons. Anyone who passes by and does not recite a charm in his mouth will die, and no one in Gangneung will dare to go there at all! Even the monks of Ciping Temple have drawn a red line at the back door, and no monk in the temple is allowed to step on the red line, so as not to set himself on fire. ā€

Mo Cangsang said: "This ...... This ghost is so powerful? Even the monk ......" Liu Changqing said: "There are many ghosts and monsters in Jiangling, and when they get together, they are much more powerful." Liu Changqing said that he had a good appetite and ate the food, and Mo Cangsang said to Suo Ling: "This ...... Let's leave today, shall we find the broken knife! Yang Zhen is probably not here. ā€

Suo Ling said: "Then how can it be done? If you can't find Broken Dao and Yang Zhen, you can't go back, didn't you listen to Senior Brother Huo?"

Liu Changqing asked, "Brother Mo, are you afraid of ghosts?" Mo Cangsang said: "These ghosts...... These ghosts are very powerful, no matter how high your martial arts are, you can't fight ghosts. Liu Changqing said: "Exactly, so when you see a ghost, you have to kowtow and beg for worship, and the master of the difficult line said: If you see a ghost, what he asks you to do, you will do it, that is the foundation of life." ā€

Mo Cangsang said: "Ghosts still make people do things?" Liu Changqing said with a sense of matter: "Of course! Otherwise, why would the ghosts come to the door? Of course, they will let you do things! If they want to harm you, can you run? Do you have ghosts that run fast?"

Mo Cangsang nodded his head a few times and said, "It makes sense, if I ...... If you see them, you will be ...... You must be obedient!" Liu Changqing said: "Exactly, just chant the mantra every night!" Mo Cangsang said: "I...... I won't! How can I teach you how to do it?" Liu Changqing said: "This ......" seemed very embarrassed and kept silent. After Mo Cangsang saw it, he asked, "Brother Liu, is there anything embarrassing?"

Liu Changqing pretended to be ruthless, and said: "If this spell is passed on to others, then I can't use it, and I have to make another talisman...... Mo Cangsang was about to speak, Liu Changqing said: "Okay! I'll give it to you, then it's okay." Mo Cangsang said: "Yes, yes, yes, your martial arts are so high, and ghosts don't dare to come to the door easily." Liu Changqing took a look at Suo Ling, Suo Ling sighed lightly, Liu Changqing knew in his heart: "This person is selfish, cowardly, and only sycophants, no wonder Miss Suo doesn't like him." ā€
