Liaozhai Great Sage

"Don't dare to do it, it's just a subordinate's job." The long-tongued ghost king said.

"By the way, I just called you here today. Let me ask you one more thing. If a person comes back to life after being hanged, but his tongue sticks out and cannot be retracted, how should he be treated?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The Long Tongue Ghost King said without hesitation: "This is a sequela of life and death. Herbal medicine can't cure it. Some strong methods must be used."

"What way?" Li Xiuyuan said.

The long-tongued ghost king said: "This subordinate has a pair of scissors in his hand, which can cut off a long tongue and return to normal."

"Cutting off the tongue? Is there any harm?" Li Xiuyuan's expression changed when he heard this. This method of treatment is violent enough.

"If you need your subordinates to do it yourself, there will be no harm." The long-tongued ghost king said.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "That's good, I'll trouble you to come tonight. There is an artist named Shiniang in the Qin Pavilion on the Qinhuai River. Her tongue is too long. I asked the ghost king to trim it."

"How can the subordinate refuse the son's order, the subordinate will set off immediately." The long-tongued ghost king responded and immediately roared away.

After a moment.

Inside the Qin Pavilion on the Qinhuai River.

In Shi Niang's wing room, she had worries in her heart, and she didn't fall asleep at night, just leaning against the window and looking at the Qinhuai River in a daze.

She looked at the stone bridge on the Qinhuai River.

If Mr. Li came to Qinhuai River, he would definitely pass there.

"Today, Mr. Li won't come again." Ten Niang sighed quietly. Since she said that day, she has missed Mr. Li more and more in her heart. pick up.

I can also be his wife and concubine with peace of mind, and serve him with all my heart.

"Who, it's so late, who is still going upstairs?" Suddenly, Shi Niang heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

It is especially clear at night.

The footsteps were dull and powerful, not like the footsteps of a maidservant, but more like the voice of a burly man.

"It can't be a villain, can it?" Shi Niang was startled, and subconsciously hid behind the window.

"Hoo~!"

A cold night wind blew up, and the wooden door opened with a slamming sound.

But I saw a man in black with a vague appearance rushing in, looking around as soon as he came in, as if he was looking for something.

"This man is a ghost, he has no shadow." Ten Niang glanced secretly, and was shocked, but saw that the man in black had no shadow under the light of the candle.

The man in black took a sniff.

Ten Niang hastily covered her tongue and suppressed her anger.

She knew it was a ghost asking for taste, looking for strangers, she had done it before when she was a ghost.

"Is Ten Niang hiding behind the bed?"

Suddenly, the man in black spoke, his blurred face was expressionless, and he just walked straight straight away.

No, this ghost found me.

Ten Niang was startled, not knowing what to do.

She is a human being now, and if she is still a female ghost, she can still escape.

The man in black didn't speak, but strode over.

"Ah~! Don't come here."

Ten Niang exclaimed in shock and wanted to leave the house.

The man in black immediately chased after her, but he grabbed her tongue that was stuck out because of the exclamation, and then quickly stretched out a pair of scissors, and cut it off with a click.

Ten Niang felt a pain in her tongue and immediately retracted it.

"You don't need to be afraid, Mr. Li sent me to treat your illness." After saying this, the man in black disappeared, holding a pair of bloody scissors and a bloody severed tongue in his hands. .

Before Shi Niang could hear clearly, she trembled suddenly because of the pain in her tongue.

A gust of cold wind blows over the face, and Shi Niang faintly wakes up from the table by the window.

"Just now...was it a dream?"

Shi Niang woke up from the cold and hurriedly stood up, looked at the door, but found that the door was closed and no one came in at all. What happened just now must have been a nightmare.

"I was scared to death. I thought I had encountered a ghost." Ten Niang patted her chest, feeling a little terrified.

She moved her tongue, feeling that the pain before was extremely real, as if someone really cut her tongue with scissors, and she still hasn't recovered.

"It seems that I'm too tired, it's time to go to rest." She sighed inwardly, preparing to rest on the bed.

But when she walked to the side of the wooden couch, she saw a few drops of blood dripping on the ground, and the blood hadn't dried up yet.

Seeing the blood, Shi Niang woke up immediately. She opened her mouth and touched her lips, but found that her tongue hadn't come out anymore, so she ran to the bronze mirror on the dressing table to have a look.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that her long tongue had returned to normal, and she no longer spit it out.

"I, my illness has been cured?" Ten Niang was surprised and happy, and she couldn't express her joy for a while.

But after a while, Shi Niang put down the bronze mirror and immediately understood.

"Mr. Li, it must be Mr. Li. He said that he would ask ghosts and gods to treat my long-tongue disease for me. Mr. Li is indeed a man who trusts Chengruo. The ghost in black said before that he was sent by Mr. Li. He came here on purpose. Healed me."

When she was overjoyed, she thought of Li Xiuyuan, and her heart couldn't help beating.

There is no news from Mr. Li in the past few days. I thought Mr. Li had forgotten about him, but now it seems that he has not forgotten. Maybe Mr. Li has been running around to treat his illness these few days.

At this point, she was moved again.

In fact, Li Xiuyuan was just too busy to have time to see her, and he didn't run around to treat her, but just asked the long-tongued ghost king.

I have to say that women just like to think about things sometimes.

"Since Mr. Li has not forgotten me, he will probably come to Qin Pavilion again, and maybe he will pick me up and leave here soon." Ten Niang muttered to herself, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
