I Am Immortal

  Chapter 12 People Selling Ghosts

   "Selling ghosts?!"

Li Yuelin's face was slightly stagnant, there were all kinds of business in the world, but he had never heard of anyone selling ghosts, he was anxious and puzzled, and hurriedly urged: "What's going on, tell me quickly. "

  Li Yi took a sip of tea first, recalled a little, and then slowly started talking.

  …………

  It was a night trip. I was doing business near the capital.

  I calculate carefully, and always feel that even if I don’t earn much, at least I have clinged to those big shots, so I won’t lose everything.

   Unfortunately, I still lost.

  I'm so stupid, so stupid.

Those big figures in the dynasty are friendly on the surface, but when they start their actions, they are darker than anyone else, more ruthless than anyone else, drained of bone marrow, stripped of flesh and blood, they can't do it at all. stay.

  I lost money and had no face to go back to my hometown.

I had no choice but to hang around outside, thinking and thinking, to see if I could find a way to make money, but I still couldn't think of it. I wanted to go home, but I was really unwilling to go back to my hometown in such a disgraceful manner. ah.

  Walking around, I don't know when, I came under the old pagoda tree on Sanli Road outside the city.

   It was at this time that I encountered a ghost.

   Then it suddenly appeared.

  I dared to ask it who it is.

  He said: "I am a ghost!"

   Then asked me: "Who do you ask?"

  I was so poor that I was dying, but I was still afraid of death, saying that death was inevitable, so I gritted my teeth and said, "I am also a ghost!"

  Ghost was very puzzled, walked around me for a while, and said:

   "Then where are you going?"

  I replied to him, "I'm going to Dashi, Wancheng."

  The ghost said happily: "I want to go to Wancheng Dashi too!"

  My hands and feet were cold all at once, knowing that this big city might not be the same thing, but the words have been spoken, and there is no way to swallow them back.

   So, the ghost followed me.

  I had no choice but to go with him.

  A ghost was behind me, my hands and feet were all stiff, but the ghost was relaxed and said, "It's too slow and tiring to walk like this. How about we carry each other on our backs?"

  The ghost stared at me, with green eyes, I dare not refuse, for fear of being seen by him.

   Just grit your teeth and agree.

  The ghost first carried me on its back and walked ten miles in one breath.

   Then asked: "Why is Qing so important, is it a ghost?"

  When the ghost was talking, his eyeballs turned green, and fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth, drooling.

  My heart was about to stop beating at the time, so I forced myself to say:

   "I just died, so it's just heavier, don't think too much about it."

Then it was me who was carrying him on my back, so light and light, so I was able to speed up my pace, and I switched back and forth three times, and the fear in my heart was a little less. It is inevitable to be eaten by ghosts, so I lied to him:

   "I just died and became a ghost. Are there any taboos for being a ghost?"

  Ghost replied: "The only thing I don't like is blood on the tip of my tongue."

  While walking forward, I met a river. When the ghost passed by, it almost floated past without any sound. When I passed by, the sound was very loud.

  The ghost began to doubt me again.

   This time, his eyes glowed red, and the corners of his mouth were already dripping with saliva. Even his fingers had black nails sticking out, like hooks, and his fingers turned green:

   "Why is it so loud?!"

  My heart was about to jump, but he didn't seem to notice.

   I had no choice but to hold my face and said:

   "I just died. I have just died as a ghost. I am not used to crossing the river like a ghost. Don't blame me."

  The ghost stared at me up and down, but didn't make a sound.

  I think, it’s not that he can’t recognize me, but that he treats me as a livestock mount. He intends to sell me only after reaching the ghost market.

Sure enough, he didn't go to the regular big market, but went under the big pagoda tree outside Wancheng, knocked on the door three times, shouted several times to open the door, and then came out in front of him. If there is an opportunity, pick him up at once.

   Quickly ran inside, shouting: "Selling ghosts, selling ghosts!"

  The ghost didn't expect—

  When people are poor, even ghosts can sell them.

The ghost yelled on my body, and when it was about to climb down, it cast a transformation technique and turned into a sheep. When it broke free, I bit my tongue, and the blood from the tip of my tongue sprayed on his body, so he couldn't Change again.

   But I was worried that after a long time, he would change back, so I sold him to an old Taoist priest, who pulled the sheep away with a rope inlaid with jade.

   gave me a package, my heart was beating hard, I ran back to a safe place, opened it to look, almost dazzled my eyes.

   There is a full one hundred and fifty taels of gold in it.

  ………

  The pot of tea is finished.

  The story of Li Yixian is also over. When he spoke, his palms were trembling, and he finally settled down. You can know how scared he was at that time even though he recalled it clearly now.

   I am about to take a wrong step, even if I take one step, I may be dead.

Li Yuelin almost forgot to drink tea when he heard it, and then comforted his brother in a loud voice, while Li Yi let out a breath first, and said: "However, it's all right now, we have so much gold, so much, so much gold ah."

   "Our family is not only able to gain a foothold here."

   "You can still go out, go to Fucheng, go to the county town!"

   "Go somewhere bigger!"

   "Guangzong Yaozu, I have never been sorry to my ancestors, nor have I been sorry to my parents!"

  Li Yixian's words became a little messy again.

Li Yuelin comforted him, and suddenly thought of something, looked at the gold on the table, and said: "But these gold, after all, were obtained by selling evil ghosts in that ghost market, will it attract more people?" Devil?"

  Li Yi shook his head first and said, "Don't worry, brother."

   "I was worried about such things, so I made a special trip to the capital, prayed devoutly in the Taoist temple there, and invited the Taoist priest to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil. Then I felt relieved and returned to my home in Zhongzhou."

   "When I go home this time, I don't plan to go out again."

   "Get married and settle down."

"rest assured."

  Li Yi smiled and comforted:

   "Absolutely, absolutely nothing will happen."

  ………

   Click!

   The ax fell and split the firewood.

  Qi Wuhuo picked up the axe, looked at the firewood that had been split and piled up next to him, and then raised his head to look at the mountain in the distance—under the sun, this mountain gave people a sense of tranquility.

   "The snow is not heavy, and the mountain has not been closed."

   "It's a good thing."

  Speaking of which, tomorrow is the time for Li Puyu to invite him to Li's house.
