Hundred Ghosts

"Here." Lin Zi handed the red-eyed little snow rabbit to the little emperor.

It's not a cold piece, but a fluffy touch with a little coolness...

"Thank you brother Taoist!" He grabbed Lin Zi's sleeve and recounted what he saw in his dream last night. Lin Zi was a little annoyed, so he only said perfunctorily, "The emperor speaks seriously, this is what I should do..."

"Brother Taoist is so powerful... Can I leave the position of national teacher to Brother Taoist? From now on, Brother Taoist can stay with me in the palace all the time!"

Hearing that the locust tree spirit in the corner was about to explode, the branches were shaking like they were about to break.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it!"

The little emperor is too unreasonable, Lin Zi made many excuses to leave, but he will call himself back tomorrow or the day after leaving today... It's really better to go with the general to take him outside the Great Wall, or he shouldn't be on that day Standing in front of him will prevent him from being so self-indulgent.

He fell into a drowsy sleep, when suddenly the carriage stopped abruptly, and he couldn't help but fell forward, almost thrown out of the carriage!

"Cough... Uncle? What's going on?" Lin Zi raised the curtain and looked out. The carriage was at the intersection of the street, and a middle-aged uncle fell in front of the horse with a terrified expression. If it wasn't for the uncle who was driving him back with quick eyesight and hands, he quickly reined in the horse. , he was afraid that he would be trampled to death by a horseshoe.

"Uncle, are you okay?"

The middle-aged man came back to his senses, got up and patted his ass, pointed at Lin Zi viciously and said, "I seem to be fine? If you don't pay me a lot of money today, then...report to the official!"

It was true that he had made a mistake first, so Lin Zi had no choice but to give him ten taels of silver.

Although he took the money to get rid of the disaster, Lin Zi was still restless when he went back to the carriage. He couldn't help raising the curtain and turned around to remind him, "Uncle, it's not easy to stay here for a long time, you'd better leave soon..."

Suddenly, a double carriage passed by on the left, and the horseshoe stepped on his body and galloped forward, and then, the wheels came down from his head...

The terrified screams of the coachman and pedestrians resounded instantly.

The nearby policemen rushed over quickly, stopped everyone present, and after interrogating each other, the owner of the carriage should bear all the responsibilities.

The police officer roughly pulled the curtains, "Come out!"

The owner of the carriage is a handsome young man, dressed in fine clothes, even in winter, he still holds a mountain and water folding fan in his hand.

It is His Royal Highness.

After the cat ghost was chased away, he recovered fairly well. He looked like a romantic and talented man. The girls who bought vegetables on the street frequently peeked at him, and he smiled back with great interest. When he saw Lin Zi, he was stunned. After a moment, he nodded slightly to say hello.

Even though he didn't know his identity, just seeing this posture, the police officer showed some respect, "Young master, look..."

"You can pay as much as you want. My Highness is not a stingy person. Hurry up and do it. Miss Cuihua is still waiting for my Highness." He just showed his token to the arresters, without showing a single expression. With a little bit of guilt, he didn't even look at the pool of flesh and blood, and a human life was nothing in his eyes.

Lin Zi frowned, and suddenly understood why someone wanted to kill him with a cat ghost.

But the police quickly followed him, bowed his head and said that it was the thugs who wanted to die by themselves, and they couldn't blame the adults, and the people around them just talked about it and then left.

When he was in a daze, the Second Highness had already walked over, "Little Taoist priest, what are you looking at?"

Lin Zi saluted, "I have seen the Second Highness."

"What were you in a daze just now?"

"Pindao just thinks when he can go back."

"Really?"

"real."

His Highness put his fan on his chin and smiled, "What are you going back for? Let's go, my Highness will take you out to meet the little girl."

After so many years in the world, Lin Zi naturally knew what he meant, "Thank you Your Highness, Master is still waiting for the poor!"

"My Highness just send someone to tell your master..."

"Your Highness...Your Highness!" Lin Zi's wrist was held by him, he was at a loss for a while, and his eyes suddenly touched the corner of the shop on the east side.

"Your Highness, let go! Look!" Lin Zi said in a low voice.

There is a ghost nesting in that corner, looking at them with its mouth wide open!

After being severely bullied by the cat ghost, the Second Highness could occasionally see those things, and when he heard this, he looked closely, and his complexion suddenly changed.

"Then... what is that?"

"If Pindao's guess is correct, it should be 'Ghost Living in Four Hands'."

This kind of ghost likes to live in dark or dangerous places next to traffic accidents, and only teases people with evil in their hearts, causing them to get lost or have car accidents.

"That……"

"It's still staring at us, let's go!" Lin Zi said.

His Highness hurried on the carriage and left, Lin Zi heaved a sigh of relief. From a certain point of view, he should be grateful to that ghost. He really didn't want to provoke the little emperor and invite another Second Highness...

At this time, the policeman stepped forward and said, "It was the guy who didn't have eyes to bump into the carriage of the Second Highness, it has nothing to do with you people, you can leave first..."

Lin Zi also left.

Back at the Taoist temple, Xiaocai was studying. He Huai... hugged the sweet potato and peeled it, "Are you back? Your uncle gave each student more than ten sweet potatoes last night. I wanted to cook porridge, but you It's not here...do you need to explain?"

"It's all the fault of the emperor." Lin Zi explained in this way, and then recounted what he saw when he came back, "Two sweet potatoes are enough, how about roasting the rest in the simmering fire?"

"bake?"

"Yes, I have to trouble the general to guard the stove."

"No..." He Huai almost said that you were murdering General Ben.

"All right……"

People like Lin Zi have their own rooms, and some people will bring charcoal fire over. Lin Zi stayed in the room for a while and then warmed up, but he saw He Huai sitting far away.

"General, aren't you cold?"

"The young man is full of vigor, how can he be cold?"

All right, as long as you're happy.

"The general at least sit closer, so he can look at the sweet potatoes." The sweet potatoes are not yet ripe, but the fragrance has overflowed.

He Huai's body stiffened as he approached the charcoal fire, staring at the slightest traces of flames and getting goosebumps.

"General?" His appearance as if facing a formidable enemy made Lin Zi suspicious.

"It's...it's okay, this...sweet potatoes are quite fragrant, and the charcoal fire is also very strong. What kind of firewood did you use for the charcoal?"

"Chestnut and... pagoda tree, right?"

He Huai shuddered.

"Is the general afraid of fire?" Xiaocai asked, "You look like a little girl seeing a caterpillar!"

He Huai thought silently, in fact, I see caterpillars like this too...

There is no way, bugs and fire are the natural enemies of trees.

"Please take care of the general, I'll go help the brothers first." Lin Zi yawned.

That fellow of the Second Highness exaggerated the matter of driving them away from the cat ghost, and added metaphors to exaggerate it... It was as if Sun Monkey was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace. Still overcrowded.

He Huai remembered that he didn't come back all night, so he hurriedly called him, "Aren't you going to rest for a while?"

"Don't sleep."

As soon as Lin Zi came, a junior brother immediately made way for him. The guest was a young man with a happy expression on his face. His wife was about to give birth, and he wanted Lin Zi to figure out whether he was a man or a woman.

"It's a little daughter." Seeing his gloomy expression, Lin Zi sighed softly, and said, "But the young master is destined to have both sons and daughters, and it will be a matter of time before he gets a son."

There are a lot of people who ask this kind of thing, if you can see it in your heart, it's best, if you can't see it, it's not uncommon to go home and beat and scold the pregnant wife.The master said that when encountering such things, you should first tell him that you are destined to have a son and a daughter, even if it is a daughter who comes out, he will feel better.

Sure enough, his face turned happy, and he left with a thousand thanks.

"I don't know if I can make a fortune for this king?" The Second Highness actually did not go home but came to Taoist Temple. He followed Master behind him, and it has been a long time since he thought about it.

Because the master's beard was still stained with tea leaves.

"This is my apprentice Lin Zi, and he is also the most talented among all the apprentices in Pindao. He was the one who kicked out the cat ghost last time."

"This king knows, we met not long ago." His Highness smiled and stretched out his hand.

"May I ask what your Highness wants?"

"Marriage, this king wants to know who the woman is, and I can marry her back home."

Lin Zi looked at his hands, and said cautiously, "Your Highness...can't marry a woman in this life..."

The Second Highness's face froze, and he couldn't hold back his smile, "What?"

Master Qing Cheng hurriedly came back to smooth things over, "Marriage depends on fate, and sometimes the calculation is not accurate. Lin Zi, you should go back and rest, and take His Highness for the teacher to go around again."

Lin Zi hurriedly rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and it was just in time to go back. The sweet potatoes were just ripe and smelled delicious, but He Huai's posture was not very good-looking, sitting far away, poking out the sweet potatoes clumsily with the tongs.

The corners of Lin Zi's mouth twitched, and he reached out to pick up three sweet potatoes and put them on the table, "What are you doing, General, don't mess with them, eat them quickly."

"The general is afraid of fire!" Xiaocai said, "He doesn't even dare to go near the brazier!"

"Good boy, you're the only one with a mouth, right?" He Huai threw down the tongs and walked around the brazier to bully Xiaocai.

Lin Zi smiled, and suddenly felt that what Xiaocai said seemed to be right. Since the beginning of winter, no matter how cold it was, He Huai would not warm up to the fire. Even if he had to sit by the fire in the tiger's cave in the snow and ice last time, he would make excuses to say it out. Picking up firewood, I said for a while that I was uncomfortable and stayed away from the fire for various reasons.

"General, you..."

He Huai scratched his head, desperately trying to find a reason, "I have been burned by fire since I was a child, and my mind has been shadowed, so... I don't like fire very much..."

Xiaocai added, "I was burned by fire when I was young, but I still know how to use fire!"

Lin Zi was also skeptical. How should I put it? A person who has been bitten by a dog may run away at the sight of a dog. Once bitten by a snake, he may be afraid of well ropes for ten years. But fire is different. The fire has been scalded, like He Huai is afraid of the fire, I have never seen it.

"Actually, the fire is more about warmth. If you don't warm up to the fire in this winter, no matter how hot-blooded young people can't stand it..." Lin Zi touched his hand, and his hand was warm, warmer than his own.

Lin Zi immediately shut up.
