Liaozhai Great Sage

With a somewhat apologetic look on her face, Ten Niang shook her head slightly, but did not speak.

Li Xiuyuan noticed this: "Could it be...are you a dumb girl?"

Ten Niang turned around and said, "Nu, I'm not a dumb girl, but she's sick and it's not convenient for me to speak."

Her voice was not crisp, but a little slurred, so her voice didn't match her beauty.

"I don't know if Shi Niang and I have known each other before? It seems that you are no stranger to me, Shi Niang." Li Xiuyuan said, he has been paying attention to this detail.

"My family does know Mr. Li. It is human nature for Mr. Li to be suspicious." Shiniang said: "This time I took the liberty to invite you, please don't be offended by Mr. Li."

Li Xiuyuan secretly thought, sure enough.

From the very beginning, Shi Niang saw that her eyes were not right, she hid herself in the crowd, not showing the mountains or showing the water, it was obviously unreasonable for such a beauty to pay attention to her frequently.

"Shi Niang is an artist here, she should have never been out of the Qinhuai River, when did she meet me?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Did Mr. Li really forget about a woman named Shi Niang?" Shi Niang said in a low tone, seeming to be a bit sad.

Li Xiuyuan recalled it carefully.

He thinks he has a pretty good memory. Although the things that happened in the past may be forgotten in small ways, the people he meets will definitely not forget them.

After some memories.

Suddenly, there is indeed a woman named Shiniang in Li Xiuyuan's mind.

His expression moved slightly and he said, "I do remember a person called Shi Niang, maybe it's just a heavy name, you can't be her."

"Why does Mr. Li make such an assertion?" Ten Niang's tone became a little joyful again.

"She is not a human being, but a female ghost in the painting, named Shi Niang, I met in Hua County, she helped me, but later she disappeared, I don't know if she was reincarnated or went to another place. "Li Xiuyuan said.

Shiniang said happily, "Master Li, I'm the ghost girl, Mr. Li, you really remember me, I'm really happy." She wanted to turn around, but she hesitated for a while and still didn't turn around.

Li Xiuyuan said in surprise, "Impossible, you are a ghost, but now you are a human being, how could it be the same person?"

"On that day, Mr. Li and Mrs. Hua were fighting in Huaxian County. Nujia and a group of sisters were watching in the temple. Later, because they were afraid of the majesty of the thunder god in the sky, they hid in the painting and tried to hide from Lei Gong's investigation, but they were finally discovered by Lei Gong. , a series of divine thunders split the roof and fell from the sky, killing many sisters in the painting. At that time, the slave family was terrified and trembling, thinking that they would be killed by the thunder god in the sky, but after the thunder god stopped, the slave family found most of the house. The paintings of the sisters were all burned, and only the slave family and a few sisters were safe."

"My family and the other sisters want to come. This is probably the reason why we are kind-hearted and have not committed too many crimes. Let the thunder in the sky forgive us."

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "It's true that Lei Gong doesn't kill kind people, even ghosts. It's just that afterward, why did you become an artiste in this piano pavilion?"

Shiniang said; "I don't know, I only know that after dawn, I hid in the painting to rest, and when I woke up, I found that I had become an artist in the Qin Pavilion by the Qinhuai River. The artist had already hanged herself." The body was cold, but it suddenly came back to life because of the slave's possession, which frightened many people at the time, but this matter was well known, and the treasurer of Qin Pavilion didn't publicize it much."

"Someone should have cast the spell of resurrecting the soul for you."

Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, thinking of the midwife who delivered the Zhang family.

That was not a midwife, but a celestial Bodhisattva.

In other words, it was the arrangement of the Bodhisattva in heaven that Shi Niang appeared here?

But what is the purpose of this arrangement?

Li Xiuyuan didn't know, and he didn't think too much about it, but said with a little relief; "Since it's Ten Niang, then I don't worry, I thought it was some kind of monster disguised as a human to harm me. It's not peaceful, there are many monsters who want to kill me, I have to be vigilant all the time."

"This servant understands." Ten Niang said.

"May I ask, Ten Niang, why are you talking behind my back? Is there any inconvenience?" Li Xiuyuan asked suspiciously.

Ten Niang hesitated and said, "I'm afraid that the servant's behavior will frighten the young master."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Shi Niang, your beauty makes the scholars below salivate. I saw it before, and it is indeed a rare beauty. It seems that God has favored you and given you a good status, so you can start a new career." Life."

Ten Niang turned around with a shy face when she heard the words, her beautiful eyes flickering.

Her beauty hasn't changed in any way, but in that small mouth, a long tongue sticks out and hangs down to her chin. The saliva drips from time to time, destroying this delicate beauty in an instant. It's even a little scary, no wonder when he spoke before he was ambiguous, it turned out to be the reason.

"Why did this happen?" Li Xiuyuan was only slightly taken aback, but he didn't feel scared.

He has never seen any ferocious ghosts before, so how could he be afraid of a beautiful woman sticking out her long tongue.

"It's because the possessed girl hanged herself. When the girl died, she stuck out her tongue. The slave family used her body to bring her back to life, but the tongue could never be taken back. Every time she spoke, it would come out of her mouth." Falling down, so I can only shut up." Shi Niang said vaguely, her eyes dodged a little, afraid that Li Xiuyuan would hate her.

But she didn't see any disgust in Li Xiuyuan's eyes.

Li Xiuyuan said: "So that's how it is. This is a disease caused by resurrection of the dead. Mortal doctors are not easy to cure. Only ghosts and gods can heal this symptom for you. By the way, I recently met a ghost king named Chang Tong. The hanged ghost, the old man who sticks out his tongue, is pushed to the waist, but he can retract his tongue, I will go back and ask him for you if he can cure your disease."

"If that's the case, I will thank Mr. Li first." Shiniang said gratefully.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "This is a trivial matter, you have helped me before, if there is something I can do to help you, I will not be stingy."

The two of them also had some superficial friendship.

Now that we met here, we have become acquainted with each other after talking a few words.

After chatting for a while, Li Xiuyuan said: "It's not too early now, I should go back too, Shi Niang, you should go to bed early, now you are a human, not a ghost, and I don't want to stay with you for a long time. The group of scholars downstairs has not left yet, the voices keep coming, I am afraid that if we stay any longer, the group of scholars will rush up to save the beauty.”

Shi Niang laughed and said, "Those scholars are just greedy for the beauty of the slave family, and who really likes the slave family? When the slave family played the piano just now, Mr. Li was the only one who was bored and drank three cups of tea. technology is not interested."

"I'm not an elegant person, and I can't appreciate these elegant things, making Shi Niang laugh at me."

Shi Niang shook her head and said, "This is exactly the honesty of the young master. You won't flatter me just because of the beauty of the slave family, and pretend to be intoxicated and appreciative."

"It seems that Shi Niang also knows that those scholars are pretending to be intoxicated." Li Xiuyuan smiled. It seems that Shi Niang is also a smart woman, and she was not deceived by those scholars, thinking that they are her bosom friends.

Those scholars didn't know that their hard-working flattery and intoxicating performances had already been seen through by the ten mothers.

Shi Niang also blushed slightly, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Young Master is going back. Before the slave family has time to play a song for you, let's send you there."

"Shi Niang, you sent me out of the pavilion to make me hostile to those scholars." Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "But it's okay, since Shi Niang doesn't want to be entangled by those scholars, I will help Shi Niang with this."

"Young master is truly worthy of being a saint in the world. You can't hide these petty thoughts from the slave family." Shi Niang said.

The two went downstairs one after the other.

"Come down, come down, then Li Xiuyuan has come down."

"Damn it, is this guy finally willing to come down? I didn't hear Ten Niang's piano sound just now, and I thought this guy was doing something dirty. Xiaosheng almost couldn't help but rushed to rescue Ten Niang. "

"Shi Niang really chose the wrong person. I don't know what's so good about Li Xiuyuan, but I invited him into the private room to listen to the music."

The scholars downstairs hadn't left yet, when they saw Li Xiuyuan coming down, they all surrounded him, gnashing their teeth, or staring at him with hatred.

Really murderous face, eyes like a knife.
