Night Talk Hundred Stories

Standing by the window, Hei Yao saw a small bell flying out from the opposite side, towards the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, the Taoist priest had some good things on him.

Now the night was getting darker, the moonlight was covered by a few dark clouds, and the light in the courtyard became increasingly dim. The osmanthus tree in the courtyard was hidden in a cloud of black, and the branches and leaves were blown by the night wind, which was rather scary.

The soul-inducing bell flew to the courtyard, landed straight on the root of the tree, and then the bell disappeared. The Taoist priest had already chased to the courtyard, picked up the bell on the ground, circled the osmanthus tree a few times, and suddenly raised his head towards Chen The shopkeeper sneered and said, "Shopkeeper, is your shop actually a black shop!"

Shopkeeper Chen was a little dazed when he saw the bell that he was shaking just now, but at this moment he was sternly threatening, and he was so frightened that he even stuttered, and said intermittently: "Dao... the words of the Taoist priest are... again from the same place. How do you start..."

"Where do you start?" The Taoist stretched out his hand and pointed at the osmanthus tree. "You have clearly buried someone under this tree. The grievances linger, and they turn into ghosts. Could it be that you did it!"

"What?!" Shopkeeper Chen was startled. Seeing the Taoist priest's bright eyes, he looked serious and didn't look like a lie, so he hurriedly said to the little boy standing at the gate of the courtyard: "Hurry up and report to the official! What are you still doing!"

Xiao Er hurriedly responded, and heard that there was a ghost in the backyard of his inn, his legs were so frightened that his legs went limp, and he staggered out the door while leaning on the wall.

The Taoist took out another talisman from his sleeve, stuck it on the trunk with a "slap", and said to the osmanthus tree, "Since you have a spirit, how can you help that ghost to cause disaster?!"

Gui Shu shook slightly, as if to defend himself.

Qinghe took a good look at the scene in the courtyard. Seeing that those people were going to dig up the female ghost's body, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he grabbed Hei Yao's clothes and asked, "Hei Yao, these people have dug up her body, what are they going to do?" What?"

Hei Yao closed his eyes, "Seeing that the Taoist priest has some Taoist skills, I'm afraid his bones will inevitably fall into the fire and be wiped out in ashes."

"She has never harmed anyone!" Qing He was a little anxious.

"Not today, but in the future? Who can guarantee it?"

Qinghe was startled, staring blankly at the courtyard. At this moment, shopkeeper Chen had recovered from his astonishment, walked into the window and said to the two of them, "Don't worry, you two, the inn has already reported to the officials, and the Taoist priest is here." Sitting in town will not hurt the two of you."

Hei Yao said: "Just now I saw what the Taoist priest did, it really amazed the two of us, I think the Taoist priest has profound magic power, so he will definitely be able to protect us."

Shopkeeper Chen saw that there was no panic on their faces, so he was relieved, and he couldn't help but sigh, these two people are rich and well-informed, and they are calm when they see such a situation.

About tea time, Xiaoer hurried over with officials from the government. The city of Linzhou was holding a long knife in their hands. They were dubious about Xiaoer's words, raised their eyebrows and said to the Taoist priest: "If you are here to deceive people, don't blame me. Wait until the sword has no eyes."

The Taoist pointed to the osmanthus tree nonchalantly and said, "Five feet deep under the tree, there is a dead body."

Several yamen servants took shovels and other things and began to shovel the soil, Qinghe couldn't bear it, turned around and leaned against Hei Yao's arms, and said, "Can we help her?"

Hei Yao shook his head, stretched out his hand to run along Qinghe's back, "Not yet."

Because people in the government were alarmed, many people who lived in the store also came here curiously, and gathered around the courtyard to wait and see the murderous corpse. For a while, the backyard was bustling like a market.

Zhao Xiaozhu and his group came over from the side door, and asked curiously when they saw this, "What happened?"

A bystander said: "It is said that there is a ghost in the courtyard, and today we are going to dig up the ghost's bones!"

Zhao Xiaozhu was stunned, feeling inexplicably terrified, being dragged aside by several senior brothers, his eyes were a little distracted.

Hei Yao could see clearly from the window, he couldn't help but sneered, he was curious about what gesture this person would make later.

"Have it!"

Suddenly, a yamen servant exclaimed, and several people quickened their movements. There was indeed a corpse in the pit, only the skeleton covered with white bones was covered with light yellow clothes, which was also in tatters.

Everyone in the courtyard was startled, and the timid ones screamed and grabbed the clothes of the people around them. The yamen servants were also surprised, and they all grabbed the shopkeeper by the collar and said, "This is made in your shop." Dark things?!"

Shopkeeper Chen shook his head again and again: "Dutou, if it was done by a small shop, how dare you report it to the authorities?"

The Taoist looked at the female corpse carefully, and said from the side: "This female corpse has been around for a hundred years, and I only borrowed the osmanthus tree to make troubles around the Mid-Autumn Festival. It must not be the people of this inn."

He let go of shopkeeper Chen, went to the side and knelt down to examine the skeleton of the female corpse carefully. He wrapped his hand in a handkerchief and flipped it over a little, only to find that the female corpse was holding a jade flute in the right hand hidden behind the back. The workmanship is like a close object, so I can't help feeling suspicious, I want to take out the flute to see clearly.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't get the jade flute out of the female corpse's hand bones. Chu Chen glanced at it and murmured, "Hey, that looks a bit like Brother Xiaozhu's jade flute."

Zhao Xiaozhu smiled wryly, thinking about the jade flute handed to the woman last night...

"Let me try it." The Taoist walked over, bit his index finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the jade flute. The bright red blood slid down the green flute onto the bones of the female corpse, and the bones seemed to have become conscious. Generally speaking, he moved gradually, as if he wanted to let go of the jade flute, but he was reluctant to let go.

Seeing this, Dutou secretly thought that the Taoist priest might have some skills, so he respectfully said: "I also ask the Taoist priest to help me destroy this ghost."

The Taoist nodded and said: "Please bring some firewood, and burn this corpse to ashes on the spot, so that the disaster can be eradicated."

During their movements, Zhao Xiaozhu had already seen clearly that the end of the jade flute was carved with a small bamboo leaf, it was clearly the jade flute he gave to the woman last night!

He forced himself to be calm and asked, "Master Taoist, what will happen to this... female ghost after I don't know the fire?"

"Naturally, it will be ashes and smoke, and it will never be reborn." The Taoist had already taken out the jade flute, stood up and went back.

"This..." Zhao Xiaozhu was about to argue a few words. This female ghost had never done harm to the world, so she was afraid that she would not be treated like this, but she saw the bones creaking and gradually raised her body.

"Ghost!"

The courtyard suddenly exploded, and everyone fled for the door in a panic, and became a mess for a while.

"Everyone, calm down!" The Taoist shouted at the top of his voice. Seeing that everyone was still panicked, he cursed secretly, took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, and patted the female corpse at Tianling Gai. The female corpse paused for a while, but still slowly moved towards the Taoist priest. walked over.

Most of the people in the courtyard have dispersed, and the rest of them have collapsed on the ground, unable to speak or move.

Hei Yao had already closed the window when the yamen servants dug up the bones, and now he heard the commotion outside, opened the window and saw the scene of the female corpse staggering towards the Taoist priest, he couldn't help but sneered, "Oh, you didn't catch it."

Qinghe also walked over, and was a little surprised to see the woman's corpse with bones. The person with the picturesque eyebrows under the moon last night turned out to be like this!

Hearing Hei Yao's words, he couldn't help asking: "Hei Yao, then... what is the female ghost going to do now?"

Hei Yao glanced at the jade flute in the hands of the Taoist priest, and said, "Maybe he wants to get her things back."

Qing He also saw the jade flute, and asked in puzzlement, "Since she still has a sliver of magic power, why is she not in a hurry to escape from this place, but wants to take the jade flute instead?"

Hei Yao thought for a while, and said, "Probably because it was given to her by Zhao Xiaozhu, so she cherishes it very much."

The two of them have lived in the mountains, and they have always seen wild animals and plants. After all, they don't know much about the world, so they can't talk about the feelings of bosom friends and the desire of men and women, so Hei Yao spoke vaguely and clearly. He only listened to the general idea, seeing the Taoist priest's ruthless moves to break the bones apart, he couldn't help feeling anxious, he dragged Hei Yao and walked quickly to the courtyard.

Before he could open his mouth, Zhao Xiaozhu who was on the side said, "Master Dao, please show mercy!"
