In the vast starry sky full of loneliness, countless meteorite fragments floated in the air, and they collided from time to time, but there was no sound.

The not-so-slow cabin has been moving, and the entrance to the transition aperture of the ninth star can already be seen.

The system that had been silent all this time suddenly said, "The 250th task has been released, please accept it immediately, Mr. Lu."

Lu turned a deaf ear and went directly into the cockpit himself, preparing to manually control it to make it faster.

Seeing that he couldn't wait for a response, 002 made a sharp beeping sound, and the entire cabin shone with dazzling red light.

The spacecraft robot suddenly sounded an alarm, "emergency, the spacecraft has been destroyed, the anchor point has been lost, the anchor point has been lost."

Lu Er's gray hair was hanging down, blocking his eyes. He sneered and said, "Are you in a hurry? What are you afraid of?"

The 002 system didn't answer, and the machine reminded: "The task [Strange Tales from Yaozhai] has been received successfully, and it is about to enter the 250th parallel world. Mr. Lu has a smooth journey."

The dazzling light was like a entangled boa constrictor, icily piercing into Lu Er's eyes.

A chaotic white.

"Target [-], to accept the protagonist as a disciple."

Lu Er was floating in the air, listening to the mechanical sound floating out of the chaos, with a mocking expression on his face.

"Is it still possible to make mandatory tasks? The main system doesn't even want to install it?"

The mechanical voice was even colder, "Mr. Lu, if you don't do it, everyone in this world will die."

It paused for a moment, "That flower doesn't smell, it's there."

The corners of Lu Er's mouth hooked up for a moment, "Where is he?"

"When you enter the world, you will know."

The white light became brighter and brighter, like a cloud of white mist, gathered at the apex and scattered in all directions.

A dilapidated city temple appeared in front of him.

Weeds are overgrown at the door, and there are dead leaves all over the place.

Lu Er looked down and found that he was wearing a black long gown with messy yellow talismans all over his body, and he was holding a wine gourd in his hand.

The voice of the system sounded from the jug, "The program is out of order, and the memory of the original body cannot be provided to the host. Compensation will be provided after repair."

Lu Er didn't speak, shook the wine pot, and threw it into the grass with a flick of his hand.

system:"......"

He opened the door and walked into the ruined temple. In the middle was a pile of fire logs that had just been burned. Lu Er took out the broken bag on his body and found a fire book.

The fire was rekindled, and the cold ruined temple instantly became warmer.

Lu Er just stood up and looked around. Cobwebs were knotted horizontally, and the Buddha statues placed on both sides were all tilted.

The fur clothes on his body were also torn, as if they had been deliberately damaged.

The bodies of these Buddha statues are very strange, and their limb movements are very distorted. Lu Er looked behind and found that these are actually two-faced Buddhas.

On one side is a compassionate and joyful smiling Buddha face, while on the other side is a ferocious grimace.

Lu Er raised his eyebrows, didn't look at it any more, and sat quietly by the fire and began to eat the dry biscuits in his bag.

Very hard and very unpalatable.

Lu Er sniffled and gnawed mouthfuls.

With a "bang—", the door was pushed open vigorously, hit the wall behind and shattered.

It was a big man with an old face. He strode in, followed by a bunch of old and weak women and children.

Except for the somewhat human-like emotion on the big man's face, the old people and children behind him had stiff faces and empty eyes, moving in like a group of puppets.

They sat down in front of the fire without saying a word, looking at the cake in Lu Er's hand with erratic eyes.

Lu Er noticed their undisguised eyes, looked at the half cake left in his hand, and stuffed it all into his mouth with a "wow".

The big man's mouth twitched, as if he doubted his eyes.

I thought this face was gentle and harmless, and the person who looked like a fairy would take out the cake with kindness.

The children here are all staring so obviously!

It turns out that this person has a beastly face and no mercy!

The big man complained fiercely, "Can't you even see these poor children?! There is still so much food in the bag! Why don't you share it with us!"

Lu Er slowly reached over the fire to warm his hands, "It's not your relatives, so why should I give you food?"

The big man frowned, "Don't you even have a trace of sympathy?!"

Lu Er: "Even if the cake in my bag is shared with you, it's still not enough for everyone. Isn't that unfair to those who didn't get it?"

"You're just quibbling! You don't want to save us at all!" The big man's eyes were bloodshot.

Lu Er ignored it and continued to roast his hands.

The big man rushed straight up like crazy, Lu didn't raise his ears and eyes, and was quite calm.

The big man who was about to hit Lu Er suddenly disappeared, and the group of old and weak women and children also turned into thick smoke.

"Why didn't you save them?" A voice came out faintly.

Lu Er looked at the red hand illuminated by the flames, "Since it's an illusion, why do you want to save it?"

There was a "sha-sha-" rubbing sound, and a young man dressed as a scholar walked out of the darkness. He had delicate features and a scholarly scent.

The young man sat in front of the fire with a friendly smile on his face, "We are destined to meet each other. May I tell you a story?"

Lu Er nodded, "Say it."

"A long time ago, a scholar came to the province for reference and passed by here, so he planned to rest here for one night."

"In the middle of the night, a group of refugees came in. They were sallow and emaciated, with injuries all over their bodies. They looked so pitiful, so the scholar gave them all the food on their bodies."

"Who knows, they thought the scholar didn't give enough, and thought he had something private, so they stripped off his clothes and searched for it."

The young man smiled helplessly, his brows and eyes were gentle, "It may be that the scholar is too delicate and tender, which actually aroused their interest."

"The scholar never expected that they would be used to eating human flesh after walking so long on the journey of starvation."

The young man looked at his pale fingertips, and said in a clear voice, "They gnawed out the scholar one bite at a time."

Lu Er looked at the young man calmly, "You must have lived here for a long time, right?"

The young man froze for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right, it's been many years."

Lu Er got closer, "After you became a ghost, you must have waited for someone to come to your door, and then cast the illusion just now?"

"If you give them the bread, you have to eat it, and if you don't, you have to suck your soul, right?"

The young man grinned, "You guessed right, why, do you want to beg for mercy?"

Lu Er shook his head, his eyes were full of light, "Then you must have met a lot of people and heard a lot of things?"

The young man was a little confused, "Yes."

Lu Er excitedly grabbed the young man's cold hand, "Have you ever seen a man who doesn't smell flowers?"

"He's tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. He has a pair of phoenix eyes. He always has a distasteful and mocking face. You can see a man who makes everyone look at him with his chin down?"

youth:"......"

It took him a while to react, with a look of incredulity on his face, "You should guess that I am that scholar, right?"

Lu Er nodded indifferently, "Yes."

The young man looked confused, "Then why aren't you afraid of me?" At the end he added, "I'm a ghost!"

Lu Er was a little impatient, "Have you seen it?"

It was the first time to meet such a strong-headed person, and the scholar ghost was very suspicious of ghosts.

He looked grim, as if he had suffered a huge blow, "Why should I tell you?"

Lu Er took out a handful of yellow talismans, "I'm a master ghost hunter, if you still want to eat human flesh and drink human blood here, just tell me honestly, and I can spare your ghostly life."

As he said that, he quickly pasted a yellow talisman on the scholar ghost's forehead, and the ghost who was still disbelieving turned pale instantly.

He couldn't move.

The scholar ghost said tremblingly, "I've never heard of the name Hua Buwen, but I've seen the person you described with a pair of phoenix eyes who always dislikes ridicule..."

Lu Er's eyes lit up, "Continue talking."

"A long time ago, he came to this ruined temple and didn't know what he was going to do, and then I released the phantom, he...he just scattered the ghosts and destroyed the Buddha statue... ..It was scary...so scared that I didn't even dare to show up..."

Lu Er asked, "And then?"

The scholar ghost wailed, "He even snatched away my soul that I kept for a long time. He not only eats people, he also eats ghosts! Worse than me!"

"Are you sure you're looking for someone???" The scholar ghost turned pale with fright when he recalled it.

Lu Er smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter if it's a pig or a dog, as long as it's him."

The scholar ghost silently thought: These two people should be perverted evil ghosts!Kind of like a couple.

"I think he went in the direction of Linbei County..." the scholar ghost weakly pointed in the direction.

Lu Er stood up slowly, thanked him gracefully, then looked at several yellow talismans with different characters on his body, took one out and pasted it on the scholar ghost's face.

"Why are you still sticking to me?!"

"This talisman is for saving you. Think about being born as a ghost, and be reincarnated as a high-ranking official in the next life." Lu Er tilted his head, his eyes seemed to be filled with a moon, "There are indeed many wicked people in the world, but there is still hope. Like these Buddha statues, one side is good, and the other side is evil."

"After all, there are both good and evil, so we are called human beings."

The scholar ghost was surrounded by the talisman light in silence, the warm light seemed to wash away the cold air on his body, and his face began to turn rosy.

Gradually, his body shrank, and time seemed to flow backwards on him, until he became a baby and disappeared.

Lu Er slowly left the ruined temple, and walked towards Linbei County with a very clear goal.

It's not far away, but it's been dark for a long time when I left the temple, and there are not many people in the county at this moment.

Lu Er followed the long street and searched for a long time but couldn't find the inn.Suddenly, passing by a big house, the door is wide open.

There was a lot of noise inside, there was a gust of yin, and the cold black wind howled back and forth.

It is an unknown place at first glance.

Lu Er casually walked in, and sure enough, the people inside were already in a mess.

The light from the lantern was extremely dim, but the people standing in the courtyard of the mansion could still be seen clearly. They looked terrified and looked at one of the rooms shivering.

Lu Er casually grabbed a flustered little maid, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, a gleam in his peach eyes, even though he was wearing a rough black cloth gown, he had a suave demeanor, like a nobleman.

"Do you need a master ghost hunter? If you can't catch it, you don't need money."
