Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

Ordinary people can't see it with the naked eye, but Tao Shuobai can see a trace of ghostly aura filling the sky above the temple, and there is a certain place where it is the strongest.This is a temple, not the abandoned Lanruo Temple. Every day, the monks recite scriptures and do their homework, and they also enshrine the Bodhisattva Heavenly King. Ordinary ghosts dare not approach it.

Li ghosts usually die with injustice, obsessed with revenge, and wherever they stay is where their obsession lies.

Tao Shuobai had a bad feeling for a while.

Following the gloomy ghostly aura, he came to a wing room on the west side of the temple. Through the open window, he happened to see a woman in red smiling like a flower nestling in the arms of a scholar, but with her hands behind her back stretched out ten red sticks. The sharp fingertips slowly touched the back of the scholar's heart.

Tao Shuobai sharpened his eyes, made a handprint and punched.

He has been on a business trip with Zhong Kui, and he is very familiar with the procedures and gestures of catching ghosts.

"Ah!" The woman in red screamed, her pretty face turned hideous.The female ghost only felt a burst of burning pain on her body, and she no longer cared about saving the scholar's life, so she grabbed the window and fled.Unexpectedly, as soon as she flew out of the window, she was hit by a rope, which bound her layer by layer like a spirit snake. The stinky Taoist here is meddling in his own business? Let me go! Otherwise, grandma will make you look good!"

At this moment, the scholar in the room was so frightened that his eyes were glazed, he trembled for a long time, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Tao Shuobai observed in the dark for a while, and finally walked out slowly. The closer he got, the paler the red-clothed female ghost's face became, and the more terrified her expression became.

"You, don't come here! Don't come here! Who are you? What's on you?" The female ghost was trembling all over, and she was no longer as ferocious as before.

In fact, Tao Shuobai does not have any magic weapon. He is the most yang tree that all ghosts fear. In the past, when he went to catch ghosts with Zhong Kui, he rarely had the opportunity to do it himself. …I don’t know how many ghosts threw themselves into their arms without knowing it, and finally turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared in the sky and the earth.

Looking back on the past is unbearable, he doesn't like seeing ghosts "throwing themselves into their arms" to him, and the psychological shadow area is too large.

Tao Shuobai looked at the female ghost carefully, she was pretty and young, so she asked her: "What's your name? Why do you want to harm people here?"

Seeing that she couldn't escape the fight and couldn't escape, the female ghost suddenly burst into tears, looking very pitiful: "My name is Hong Niang."

Matchmaker? !

Tao Shuobai was startled, and unconsciously blurted out: "The matchmaker next to Cui Yingying?"

The female ghost looked at him suspiciously, and nodded with tears in her eyes: "Exactly, my lady is the daughter of the late Cui Xiangguo, Xiaozi Yingying, and I am the maid and matchmaker serving in front of the lady."

"Why did you die?" Tao Shuobai was doing this kind of work for the first time, and he was stunned by the sudden plot.

The matchmaker suppressed all her hostility, and cried sadly: "My young lady died unjustly. That Zhang Sheng clearly promised to come back to marry the young lady after getting fame, but who knows that he became the son-in-law of Wei Shangshu's family again. Turned around, but there was no news. The young lady waited hard, she must be unwilling to follow the old lady's wish to marry her cousin Zheng Heng. A month ago, the old lady died of illness, and then Zheng Heng wanted to force the young lady, and the young lady was desperate and angry Hanged to death. I hate Zheng Heng, and I hate Zhang Sheng even more because he betrayed his previous oath. Zhang Sheng is like this, he wants to be frivolous when he sees a beautiful woman, and it is not a pity to die for all of them!"

——This is the tragic version of Romance of the West Chamber.

Tao Shuobai remembered that the original version of The Story of the West Chamber was a tragedy, and that Yingying was abandoned by Zhang Sheng.In addition to living happily in Beijing, Zhang Sheng also wrote a short biography and insulted Yingying. Although Yingying's ending was not mentioned, it was definitely not much better.

Tao Shuobai felt a little sympathetic to the matchmaker, not because of anything else, but she was so loyal to Cui Yingying, presumably the death of the matchmaker must be due to self-blame.After all, the love between Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng came about because of the matchmaker. Without the matchmaker, this story would not be possible at all.If Hong Niang was proud of this in the past, she must regret it now.

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were open, but no matter how open they were, they did not advocate sex without a matchmaker. Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng secretly communicated with each other in the temple, which was extremely bold.Another thing is that Cui Yingying's father had engaged him in the early years. If he didn't want to, he should have withdrawn from Zheng Heng early, so that Zheng Heng would not force Cui Yingying to commit suicide indirectly.

So Tao Shuobai said: "You cry out for injustice, but your heart is full of murderous intent. You want to kill Zhang Sheng but you can't, so you vent your anger on the scholar who came to stay overnight. If you do this to harm the world, you should be taken to the underworld and handed over to the king of Hades in the ten halls for trial." .”

The matchmaker looked stunned: "Hell? Is there really a hell? Then why am I staying in the world? Miss? Did the lady go to the hell? Can I see you again?" Before Tao Shuobai could answer, the matchmaker's face changed. He became terrified, and his tone became cold: "If you don't kill Zhang Sheng, what face do I have to go to see Miss, I will definitely kill Zhang Sheng!"

It seems that Zhang Sheng is the source of Hong Niang's obsession, but for some reason he is always trapped in Pujiu Temple and cannot leave, otherwise Zhang Sheng would have died long ago.

Tao Shuobai didn't want to worry about it so much, he finally caught the red-clothed ghost, which was tantamount to completing the task, with a guarantee of 1 yuan, and because the matchmaker was a ghost, he got another 5 yuan, a total of 6 coins.As long as you catch a few more white ghosts, you will earn a year's interest, so why bother.

Flipping and grabbing the palm, the matchmaker turned into a ball of red light and he held it tightly in his palm. He took out a small and simple wooden bottle and was about to put the matchmaker in it.This bottle is made of large peach wood, which is most suitable for pretending to be a ghost, but anyone below the level of ghost king should not even try to escape.

Even though the matchmaker didn't know what the bottle was, she couldn't control her fear and begged Tao Shuobai repeatedly: "Master! Master, please let me go. I didn't kill anyone. Please let me go."

Tao Shuobai glanced at the fainted scholar, and guessed that this was the matchmaker's first prey, and although he hadn't killed anyone yet, he would definitely die if left alone.Besides, the matchmaker is worth 6 yuan!

Even so, he hesitated.

"Master, please, I must kill Zhang Sheng. As long as I can take revenge, I will let the master deal with me." Hong Niang screamed and begged, her voice was terrifying, if Tao Shuobai hadn't set up a sound-proof barrier earlier , The monks of Pujiu Temple must have been awakened.

In fact, Tao Shuobai also hates Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng is like the "scumbag" that the ghosts say. Although his job is not to abuse scumbags, but...

He remembered seeing a female ghost in Fengdu City who cried all day long and told everyone she met that she was cheated by a scumbag who cheated her body, cheated her heart, cheated her money and killed her.The female ghost was obsessed with it, and finally turned into a fierce ghost. After seeing that scumbag in the underworld, she actually swallowed the other's soul one by one. After that, before waiting for the ghost to catch her, she rushed to Dushuo Mountain... …and vanished.

Because of the special existence of the big mahogany tree, his Dushuo Mountain is also regarded by some ghosts as a perfect place to commit suicide.

He asked the matchmaker, "Do you know where there are ghosts?"

Although the matchmaker didn't understand why he asked this question, seeing that things had turned around, she quickly replied, "I've been stuck here since I died, and I haven't been to other places, but I don't need to look. There are ghosts in the mansion, not as strong as me."

"If you catch ten white ghosts, I'll take you to the capital to look for Zhang Sheng. When you get your revenge, you have to follow me." Tao Shuobai hates the recurrence of the past, and his Dushuo Mountain should be quieter.

The matchmaker was pleasantly surprised when she heard the words, and then her face turned sad: "I can't leave Pujiu Temple."

Tao Shuobai didn't say a word, took back the soul-binding rope on Hongniang's body, and quickly formed a seal with one hand, only to see that the hand was like an afterimage, with traces of spiritual light flowing, and with the lifting of the hand, the mark hit Hongniang's body.The matchmaker thought that she would feel the same burning pain as the previous seal, but she only felt a slight heat on her body.

"Your obsession traps you in Pujiu Temple. If your obsession is not gone, you will not be able to leave. It is also a kind of earth-bound spirit. Now I have cast a spell on you, you can leave with me, but you cannot stay away from me more than One mile."

"Thank you, master. What's your address?" The matchmaker lost her hostility and asked with a playful smile, as if she was still the maid in Xiangguo's mansion.

"Tao Shuobai. You don't need to call me Master, just call me Young Master."

"Young master." The matchmaker bowed her body, her face full of sternness: "As long as you can take revenge, the matchmaker will only be driven by you from now on."
