This wing room is not big, with a yew wood table missing half a leg in the middle, and a low bamboo bed not far behind.In the southeast corner of the room is a wooden staircase leading to the attic.

  However, the stairway will be blocked by some debris, which is messy-unbearable.

  An oil lamp was lit on the table in the room, and the light flickered on and off, making the shadow of i_ shake constantly.

  At this moment, the maid Jin'er was sitting on the edge of the bamboo bed with her head tilted, her little head drooped from time to time like a chicken pecking at rice, as if she could fall asleep at any time.

  On the other side, Nie Xiaoqian was sitting at the table, stroking the jade pendant in her hand tenderly, her pretty face blushing from time to time.

  Hearing Jin'er's complaint, she spat lightly and said with a delicate smile:

  "Did I ask you to accompany me? If you're sleepy, just sleep by yourself."

  After a while, Nie Xiaoqian didn't wait for Jin'er's response. She was slightly surprised, and when she looked back, she found that Jin'er had already fallen asleep half lying on the bamboo bed.

  Nie Xiaoqian smiled helplessly, and was about to get up to cover Jin'er with the quilt, when she suddenly heard a slight creaking sound.

  Nie Xiaoqian was taken aback for a moment, and quickly listened carefully.But after waiting for a long time, there was nothing unusual.

  "Maybe I'm too tired, so I have auditory hallucinations."

  Nie Xiaoqian laughed at herself.However, just when she took a step towards the bamboo bed.

  There was another squeaking sound, which rang in the room.

  Nie Xiaoqian paused, her face showing doubts.

  She listened carefully for a while, and confirmed that the sound came from the dark attic.

  Looking at the dark attic, Nie Xiaoqian felt a little nervous.

  Reason told her that she shouldn't go to that attic, but the curiosity born in her heart drove her to walk towards the attic step by step.

  Sudden!A black figure suddenly jumped down from the attic, making a sharp 'squeak' sound.

  Nie Xiaoqian was so frightened that she screamed in fright.

  The black shadow passed under her feet, and got out of the room in a flash.

  Only then did Nie Xiaoqian realize that it was just a mouse.

  "Huh, you scared me to death."

  She patted her chest lightly, with shock on her face.

  Then he turned his head to look at Jin'er, and found that the other party was still in a deep sleep and hadn't woken up.

  Nie Xiaoqian shook her head helplessly, turned around and prepared to rest.

  But at this moment, a shriveled and ferocious mummy sprang out from the pitch-black attic like a beast devouring everything.

  No piece of the mummy's body was complete, and the whole body was burnt to charcoal.

  On the skin-covered skull, there was a ferocious expression.

  Nie Xiaoqian screamed in fright and retreated in a hurry.

  The mummy laughed strangely, and the maggots on its body kept wriggling, making people sick.

  Afterwards, the mummy uttered words and laughed loudly: "I have been waiting for so many years, and finally I can find a scapegoat."

  On the bamboo bed, Jin'er was awakened by the noise, she couldn't help but rubbed her sleepy eyes, and asked, "Miss, why are you so noisy?"

  Nie Xiaoqian's complexion changed, and she hurriedly shouted: "Be careful!"

  Jin'er was taken aback when he heard the words, and tried to open his eyes to look, but saw a horrible mummy not far away, staring at him with those empty eyes that were glowing with will-o'-the-wisp.

  She was awakened instantly, and her sleepiness was gone.

  "Mom, ghost!"

  Jin'er's body trembled unceasingly, and she backed away in panic.

  And the mummy was even more excited, approaching Jin'er step by step with stiff steps.

  Nie Xiaoqian didn't have time to think about it, and rushed to Jin'er before the mummy, and pulled Jin'er from the bamboo bed to flee.

  The two stumbled and knocked over a few dilapidated chairs one after another before they came to the door of the room.

  Just when the two women thought they had escaped and ascended to heaven, another mummy flew over from the attic and landed directly in front of them.

  "Jie Jie, want to run away? It's not that easy, obediently be my substitute!"

  The mummy screamed, and grabbed the two women with a pair of skinny, shriveled hands.

  Nie Xiaoqian and Jin'er couldn't help closing their eyes, feeling hopeless.

  At this last moment, what Nie Xiaoqian thought of was Zhao Xuan's upright and resolute back.

?????? Ask for flowers????? 0

  "Xuan Lang, I'm sorry, Xiaoqian can't be your wife~"

  Just as Nie Xiaoqian was shedding tears and saying her final farewell to Zhao Xuan in her heart, she saw the jade pendant in her arms slowly emitting a soft white light, and then suspended in mid-air.

  In the next second, the mummy illuminated by the white light couldn't help screaming, the shriveled corpse spontaneously ignited, and disappeared in just a few breaths.

  The two girls narrowly escaped death, couldn't help hugging each other, and burst into tears.

  Nie Zhengyuan and others in the main hall heard the movement and hurried over.

  "Daddy, there is a ghost!"

  Nie Xiaoqian pulled Jin'er and ran to Nie Zhengyuan with a terrified expression.

 …  

  Hearing this, several followers looked at each other, and couldn't help shivering.

  Nie Zhengyuan's face was serious, and he reprimanded: "Nonsense, you don't speak strange powers, there are no ghosts in this world."

  Jin'er tightly grabbed Nie Xiaoqian's clothes, poked her head out and interjected in shock, "Master, there really is a ghost. There were two mummified corpses just now. It's so scary!"

  "Mummy?!"

  When the followers heard this, they were even more terrified, couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and the wind became jittery.

  "Yes, there are indeed monsters, but they are not ghosts, but corpse puppets!"

  At this moment, Zhao Xuan's voice suddenly came from behind everyone.

  Seeing Zhao Xuan with a long sword appear, Nie Xiaoqian subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

  For some reason, as long as she saw the other party in front of her eyes, she felt full of security.

  "Nephew, you are also a reader, how can you believe in ghosts?"

  Nie Zhengyuan had a stubborn personality and always hated talking about ghosts. When he heard Zhao Xuan's words, his tone became dissatisfied.

  Zhao Xuan smiled slightly, pointed to the attic above the wing room, and said in a deep voice:

  "Uncle, the two corpse puppets have been wiped out by my jade pendant just now, but there are still several corpse puppets hiding in the attic."

  As soon as these words came out, everyone present screamed again and again, and hurriedly retreated.

  Nie Xiaoqian and Jin'er hurriedly hid behind Zhao Xuan, staring nervously at the dark attic. .

Chapter 7 Xiaoqian's Heart【4/4】

  Nie Zhengyuan still didn't believe in the theory of ghosts, and while walking towards the attic, he said:

  "The old man has read sage books for most of his life, and he has never seen any ghosts. I don't believe that there really are ghosts in this world!"

  Before the words were finished, three grotesque, shriveled and ugly corpse puppets flew out of the dark attic, roaring and attacking Nie Zhengyuan.

  "Father! Be careful!"

  Nie Xiaoqian was in a hurry and cried out.

  Seeing this, Zhao Xuan yelled softly: "Non animal, how dare you come out to harm people?!"

  As he spoke, he merged his fingers into a sword, and pointed towards the three corpse puppets.

  I saw a holy white light suddenly shot out from his fingertips, and the white light shone on the body of the corpse puppets, causing the three corpse puppets to scream miserably. "seven seven seven"

  Not long after, it turned into a puddle of corpse fluid and disappeared without a trace.

  In fact, in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, it is not that the people are in dire straits and monsters are everywhere.

  It's just that something happened, and the gods and Buddhas in the world disappeared.

  In the second film of the human world, even a small centipede dares to pretend to be a Tathagata to deceive civil and military officials and bring disaster to the world.

  If there are gods and Buddhas in this world, how could a little centipede spirit be allowed to impersonate Tathagata.I'm afraid that the centipede spirit would have been killed by the thunder before it even opened its mouth.

  And the current world is getting more and more chaotic, and it is also because the centipede killed all civil and military officials and used his little demons to pretend to be the result.

  The more chaotic the world is, the more demons there will be.

  The more monsters there are, the more chaotic the world will be.

  The two depend on each other and are entangled.

  If this world is too peaceful and peaceful, the story of Nie Xiaoqian will naturally not happen.

  In the wing room, Nie Zhengyuan was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his face pale.

  It wasn't until Zhao Xuan wiped out the corpse puppet that he breathed heavily and relaxed.

  "Uncle, are you okay?"

  Zhao Xuan stepped forward to support Nie Zhengyuan, and injected a bit of spiritual energy, helping Nie Zhengyuan regain some sanity.

  Nie Zhengyuan showed shame on his face, and sighed, "Nephew, just now I misunderstood you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been killed by these monsters."

  Behind i, Nie Xiaoqian brought Jin'er forward and couldn't help but ask, "Why are there monsters here?"

  "There is too much yin in this place, and those corpse puppets were burned alive, and the resentment was too heavy. Over time, they turned into corpse puppets. And if they want to be reincarnated, they have to drag passers-by to be their backs. scapegoat."

  Zhao Xuan explained briefly, then paused, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these corpse puppets should be the monks from Lanruo Temple who were burned to death by the robbers."

  Everyone suddenly realized, and immediately started to dig a few holes in the open space in front of the main hall of Lanruo Temple, and set up a few clothes tombs, which can be regarded as finding a home for these unlucky monks.

  It won't become a lonely wild ghost, wandering around with no one to rely on.

  After finishing all this work, the sky turned white.

  The people didn't want to stay here any longer, so they got on their horses and hurried on their way.

  An hour later, Guobei County was in the distance.

  "Stop, let me see if you are a wanted criminal!"

  At the gate of the city, a few strong men with swords and axes grabbed the passers-by viciously and compared them with the portraits of the wanted warrants.

  Passers-by dare not speak out, don't tremble with fright, they can only beg for mercy.

  "Father, why are they doing this, are they too bullying?" Nie Xiaoqian sat in the carriage, looking at those vicious warriors outside the window, and couldn't help but indignantly said.

  Nie Zhengyuan said with a helpless wry smile: "Nowadays the world is in chaos, bandits and bandits are rampant, and the local county magistrate doesn't care about it, and even martial arts arrest people to receive rewards, and I don't know how many unjust, false and wrong cases have been caused!"

  Although Nie Zhengyuan was the same year as the county magistrate Hu Shaoyou, he also knew that Hu Shaoyou was not an upright official, but only focused on making money.

  It's just that he is humble and soft-spoken, even if he knows, there is nothing he can do.

  "Forget it, let's go to the city to find an inn to stay, and then father will visit Hu County magistrate."

  Hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian curled her lips resentfully, and then looked away involuntarily at the front of the carriage, the young man with a broad back who was riding a tall horse...

  Seeing this, Nie Zhengyuan stroked his beard and smiled lightly.

  He said, "Daughter, what do you think of Mr. Zhao?"

  Nie Zhengyuan was just such an only daughter, and she was the only blood left by his late wife.

  Therefore, on weekdays, he would respond to Nie Xiaoqian's every request and pamper her like a princess.

  What's more, this era pays attention to the marriage of men and women, and pays attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers.

  But because Nie Zhengyuan was afraid that his daughter would be bullied if she married someone she didn't know, he never told her about him.

  Nie Xiaoqian was very sweet-hearted, so she could naturally hear Nie Zhengyuan's implication.

  Her pretty face was slightly red, she lowered her head and stirred the corner of her skirt, and said in a low voice: "Young Master Zhao...he is of course very good."

  Seeing this, Nie Zhengyuan laughed a few times and said, "Okay, when we get to Luoshui County, I will find you a good husband and son-in-law for my father."
