Scholar has special ghost skills

There is a famous restaurant in Liyuan Town called "Piaoxianglou".But it is not only famous for the smell of wine, but also because there is an old storyteller in the building, who orders a pot of tea and desserts every day, and tells stories of gods and demons one after another vividly, attracting many people who come to listen to the book people.

"Hey, storyteller, I've been living in Liyuan Town for a while, why do I listen to you every day, you are talking about the myths of Pangu's creation of the world, it's too boring and meaningless, if I continue talking, my ears will listen It's worth the cocoon!"

The one who spoke was a muscular martial artist who stretched open his clothes. He was pulling his ears out of the door and walked in swaggeringly.

He found an empty seat, put the big knife on the shoulder on the table, and as soon as he sat down, he opened his thick voice and continued to shout, "...Hurry up and change to another one today, or I will be sorry for your name." head!"

"That's right, that's right!" Immediately, someone echoed the same feeling. "Let's get something fresh today for storytellers."

"Maybe it's pouring out all the ink in my stomach, hahaha..." A bearded man with brown hair, dressed in Western Regions, sipped his wine boldly and laughed suspiciously.

The audience who listened to his words were all coaxed.And the skinny storyteller old man in plain cloth on the stage opened his eyes, which were the size of a slit, unhurriedly, from which a shrewd light burst out.

His old face covered with wrinkles like tree bark showed no sign of expression, he just patted the chopping board with the ruler in his hand, and when they were quieter, he said in a drawn-out tone, "Since the big guys want to listen to fresh ones, the old man Just get a fresh one."

"Hey, good!" Everyone who was listening to the book clapped their hands excitedly.

"Since you want to talk about something new, let's talk about something close to you." The old man stroked his beard, looked at the people around him who were listening with his cloudy eyes and continued, "I see that everyone here doesn't seem like a local. People, but they must also know that the people in Liyuan Town close their doors as soon as the sun goes down, but they don't know why?"

The man from the Western Regions stroked his beard and continued, "Yeah, I wonder too. Every time I ask the locals, they always have panicked faces and flickering words, so happy."

"They don't want to say, of course there is a reason." The old man squinted his eyes and gave the waiter in the shop a look.

That Xiao Er knew it and immediately ran to close the doors and windows one by one, making the room instantly dark, while the bright white sunlight from outside came in through the cracks, bringing out a white and hazy artistic conception.

At this time, the old man saw that all the people present were pricking up their ears under the infection of the atmosphere, and everyone's expressions became extremely nervous, so he pursed his lips in satisfaction and lowered his voice deliberately, "Before telling the story, I first Let me tell you, everyone should know this Liyuan Town, and the neighboring village next door is called Fengting Town, but there is only a mountain between the neighbors, but few of you must know that there is a forest in that mountain. A mass grave."

"Hey, how could there be a mass grave there?" Someone questioned after hearing this.

"Of course there is a reason for this." The old man began to speak slowly and methodically: "That mass grave was a village a long time ago, but because of a plague, all the people in the village died. The world is bad, as long as there are people who died in the two towns, they will be thrown there. This has not accumulated over time, forming a mass grave. Now there are overgrown grass and bones, which has caused years of resentment, so it is considered During the day, there are gusts of wind. It will be even worse at night, when all those lonely ghosts fly out to make trouble. Therefore, before the sun goes down, people in Liyuan Town will close their doors and go to bed early. Down."

"That's right, not to mention the night, I went to Fengting Town the day before yesterday because of an urgent matter, and I chose to go when the sun was at its peak, but when I passed by the mass grave, I suddenly felt a gust of cool wind blowing from me. It blew past my back, but when I looked back, there was nothing there, so I ran back in fright. Thinking about it now, I have goosebumps all over my body." A skinny man with a green complexion hugged himself arms, said with lingering fear.

"Tsk, don't interrupt." The bearded man shouted angrily: "Don't stop, old man, keep talking, keep talking!"

"Okay, okay... Next, the old man will tell the guests in detail about a real event that happened in Liyuan Town 20 years ago." Daolai said, "At that time, in a county not far from Liyuan Town, there was a businessman whose family name was Nie, and the owner's family had a son who was very beautiful, with skin as white as fat, a waist as thin as willow, and a slender body. Standing far away in white clothes, descending to the earth with the immortals, he can compare with many women."

"One day, a prince who was on tour met this young master of the Nie family who was playing the piano by the river. That prince was also very handsome and talented. Both of them were talented and knowledgeable people. The first time they met, they talked to each other. We were very happy, and there was a feeling of seeing each other late. Since then, it has become even more out of control, and their acquaintance, acquaintance, and then falling in love has become a good story in the local area at that time."

"Haha, so the beautiful young master of the Nie family is still a rabbit." Someone couldn't help laughing.

But the old man shook his head and sighed softly, "Oh, this guest officer is superficial, how can the love in this world be stopped by gender."

"Okay, don't care if they are rabbits or not, I'm just curious about what happened next?" the bearded man shouted dissatisfied again.

"Haha... Don't worry, guest officer." The old man took a sip of tea to clear his throat, and continued to speak unhurriedly, "Later, the prince offered an engagement to Mr. Nie to marry this son of the Nie family as his concubine. Nie The master can be regarded as an enlightened person, not to mention that this is a matter of gaining power, so he naturally agreed, but it's a pity..."

The old man paused, and continued, "After all, the prince is a relative of the royal family. Because he insisted on marrying a male concubine, the current emperor sent a team to greet the relatives in order to take care of the royal family's face, and asked their family to hold the wedding in Fengting Town. But unexpectedly Yes, this young master of the Nie family happily sat on the bridal sedan chair. It was almost evening when the team passed Liyuan Town, and he didn’t know how haunted this place was. He saw that every house had closed their doors, and because they didn’t answer the door knocks, they had to drive all night. When passing by the Mass Burial Mound, it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. It is said that there was a gust of wind, flying sand and stones, and in a green light, everyone saw a few little ghosts floating out carrying black sedan chairs snatch a kiss."

Hearing this, someone couldn't help exclaiming: "Isn't this the ghost king robbing the bride?!"

"That's right." The old man nodded and said, "This is indeed the Ghost King robbing the bride, so the people in the sending team were scared and ran away on the spot, leaving only Mr. Nie there."

"This young master of the Nie family definitely didn't want to be arrested, but no matter how he ran, he was finally caught in the ghost sedan chair..."

"And then, and then." A group of people were very anxious when they heard that he stopped at the highlight.

"Then? Well~" the old man put it off, "It's just that the prince was furious later and sent people to look for it the next day, but this time, the people who went to look for it didn't come back, and they haven't been seen since then." People dare to go. And since then, even in the daytime, when passing by there, you can hear the sound of Mr. Nie playing the piano..."

"Stop feudal superstition, there are no ghosts in this world!"

At this time, the storyteller was talking vigorously, and the listeners were also listening vigorously, when they heard a clear male voice interrupt, they turned their heads and glared in dissatisfaction.Hey, it turned out that he was just a poor and weak scholar with delicate features and blue clothes that were washed white.

The bearded man couldn't help but sneered, "Oh, scholar, how do you know there are no ghosts in this world?"

"That's right, do you know how many people died in that mass grave?" Someone also said with an unhappy expression.

"I've been there before, and although I haven't seen any ghosts, I've also heard the legendary piano sound. The music is very beautiful but also terrifyingly weird." Another person echoed.

"Oh, look at you, a poor scholar, you really dare to say something. I think you are just talking, go and see if you have the ability." Some of them thought this poor scholar wanted to show off.

"That's right, I'm afraid you just tell me that there are probably not only headless ghosts, but also white-haired zombie corpses there. If you really dare to go, you will eat up your bones by then."

"Why don't you dare? I'm going to go to Fengting Town later." But no matter how they frightened him, He Yunqing was still proud of his thin body, with an expression full of disdain, "Hmph, let's talk about me again. There is righteousness in the chest, no matter whether it is a real ghost or a fake ghost, it is impossible to get close to it."

When he said that, the people present who were still arguing stopped and stared at him incredulously, but the old storyteller persuaded him, "Scholar, the sun is going to set soon, listen to the old man, you Let’s wait until dawn before rushing on.”

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. He, but He is not that timid as a mouse." After speaking, he stood up and made a bow, raised his eyes and swept the crowd present with contempt.

The bearded man was so dissatisfied by his words, he blew on his beard and widened his eyes and said, "Tsk, I heard that scholars are the most stubborn, it's true, don't be sucked away by demons and ghosts, and don't worry about the mass graves." Add another pair of bones!"

He Yunqing smiled indifferently, took out tea silver from his arms and put it on the table, then picked up the bookcase that had been put down on the ground, and cupped his hands with them: "Then everyone, take your leave."

When he walked out, he heard those people continue to yell, "Forget it, let's leave him alone, old man, the story is endless, let's continue..."

And He Yunqing, who walked outside the door, shook his head and sighed. It was because of hearing too many stories about feudal superstition that the country sank like this...
