The days when I was a ghost in Liaozhai

Chapter 40 A Chinese Ghost Story

Many times, people feel that what they do is involuntary, and Nie Xiaoqian is no exception.She has been in Montenegro for hundreds of years. For more than 100 years, she has been working for the tree demon, seducing men in the world for the tree demon, absorbing their essence, and then dedicating the essence to the tree demon.

"Grandma's real body is a thousand-year-old crabapple tree. In addition to me, she has other sisters. Some are little demons who have cultivated into spirits on the Black Mountain, and some are lonely souls whose bones are held in her hands just like me. Wild ghost, I have to obey her orders. Because I was killed by robbers and abandoned in the wilderness when I was passing through Montenegro more than 100 years ago, because there was no one to pick up my bones, I became a lonely soul without an owner. Grandma put my bones away , I can’t get my own bones, I can’t go to Hades, and I can’t be reincarnated as a human again.”

The white silk on Nie Xiaoqian's body has been untied, Xia Anqian sat on the bench leisurely, Yan Chixia leaned against the stone pillar of the gazebo, and next to Xia Anqian, An Feng was rubbing his forehead in displeasure .

Because An Feng is different from the carp spirit. The carp spirit is an ordinary monster with low mana. There are not many more of him in the Black Mountain, and there are not many less of him, so the tree demon will not be suspicious because of this.But An Feng was different, he was full of spiritual power, and he could detect his existence with a little induction.Although Hei Wuchang said that most of the tree demon's power had been sealed, Xia Anqian and Yan Chixia were not sure how much power the old monster still had, and whether it was enough for her to sense An Feng's existence.

To be cautious, Xia Anqian acquiesced to Yan Chixia's sticking a yellow and ugly charm on An Feng's forehead, saying that it could temporarily cover up his spiritual power from the tree demon's detection.An Feng was happy at first, but when he saw that Xia Anqian had captured Nie Xiaoqian, he became unhappy. He tore off the sticky talisman and looked at Xia Anqian very aggrieved.

Looking at his appearance, Xia An also felt a little guilty.So a ball of white snow appeared to help him rub his forehead, "It's too dirty, isn't it?"

An Feng took the ball of white snow with his mouth flattened, his chubby body leaned against Xia Anqian's legs, and looked at Nie Xiaoqian with those curious eyes.In the past, if he met some evil lonely ghosts, Xia Anqian would follow him and devour the spirits.But since the incident with Jin Shiniang, Xia Anqian has strictly prohibited An Feng from devouring these spirit bodies.

An Feng hadn't tasted these spirit bodies for hundreds of years, and he licked his lips greedily, which surprised Nie Xiaoqian.

Yan Chixia looked at An Feng's greedy look, and felt that this pair of siblings was really strange.

Xia Anqian knocked on An Feng's head, and said softly, "Don't play tricks."

An Feng didn't feel too disappointed when he heard that.Most of the time, as long as Xia Anqian is with him, he looks like a simple and lovely child in the world.

While touching An Feng's forehead, Xia Anqian asked Nie Xiaoqian, "I heard that the power of the tree demon has been sealed, who sealed it?"

"It was sealed by my patriarch and grandfather."

It was not Nie Xiaoqian who answered the conversation, but Yan Chixia who was leaning against the stone pillar.

Xia Anqian looked at Yan Chixia in surprise: "Your patriarch and grandfather are so powerful that they can seal the tree demon?"

Yan Chixia looked very proud, "Otherwise, do you think our faction is worthless?"

Xia Anqian turned her eyes back and looked at Nie Xiaoqian.

Nie Xiaoqian pursed her lips, and said: "Grandma was injured by a powerful demon catcher more than 100 years ago, and most of the demon power was sealed, so it needs a man's energy to make up for it. Two months ago, grandma said that she It will recover soon, let us find some energy for her, it happens that the river in the village below the mountain is dry, and there are young men who go up the mountain and want to drink water to go down the mountain."

Yan Chixia: "So you killed them?"

Nie Xiaoqian looked up at Yan Chixia, and sneered: "If they weren't evil-minded, how could they give us an opportunity?"

Xia Anqian recalled what he saw at the foot of the Black Mountain that day. The river was dry, the ground had been cracked due to the drought, and the crops had long since withered.It was obviously March in Yangchun, but Heishan Village was lifeless and lifeless everywhere.

"Is the drought at the foot of the mountain caused by the tree demon?"

Nie Xiaoqian lowered her eyes and said softly: "I don't know either. I am just one of my grandma's subordinates, and she treats me better because I am obedient. I don't need to know many things, as long as I follow her orders Just do it.”

Xia Anqian didn't make things difficult for her any more. Even the little female ghost, who has been trapped in Lanruo Temple by the tree demon for a hundred years, yearns for a day of freedom and rebirth.Xia Anqian was once trapped in the Baishui River for more than 200 years. At that time, she felt that she was quite miserable. Now that she thinks about it, compared with Nie Xiaoqian, she is actually lucky to a certain extent.

Xia Anqian looked at Yan Chixia, "Hey, do you know what kind of magic weapon your patriarch grandpa used to seal the demon power of the tree demon?"

Yan Chixia spread her hands: "The magic weapon probably stayed in the dryad's body when it was sealed."

Xia Anqian said "Oh", and then said: "Now that the magic weapon is on the tree demon, how are you going to kill her?"

Yan Chixia: "Didn't you say you could kill her for me?"

Xia Anqian blinked, "You can kill her for you, An Feng can kill her, but if you kill her without saying a word..." Xia Anqian said, pointing at Nie Xiaoqian, " What about her bones?"

Nie Xiaoqian was taken aback, she didn't seem to expect that Xia Anqian would take her matter to heart.The reason why she was willing to say those things to Xia Anqian was because she thought that since it was a dead end, she might as well take a gamble.Her bones are all with the tree demon, and with her own strength, it is never possible to get rid of the tree demon.But Xia Anqian didn't seem like a good person to her. If he was a good person who wanted to help her wholeheartedly, how could he threaten her?

What she originally thought was just a false flattery, what she said to Xia Anqian just now was half true and false.As a person who still thinks about reincarnation one day, how could she not leave a way out for herself?

What if Xia Anqian and Yan Chixia couldn't kill the tree demon?

If she told the whole story, after the tree demon defeated Xia Anqian and Yan Chixia, she would just die.

Xia Anqian looked at Nie Xiaoqian's appearance, and smiled, "What? Do you think I've been kind to you, and you shouldn't have lied to me just now?"

Nie Xiaoqian: "..."

Xia Anqian tossed and tossed for almost a whole night, she seemed to be a little tired, she got up a little bit dispirited, and walked out with An Feng's bag.

Seeing this, Yan Chixia quickly called her, "Where are you going?"

Xia Anqian: "It's almost dawn, I want to go and rest for a while."

Yan Chixia: "...you go and rest for a while, what about this female ghost?"

Xia Anqian turned her head and looked at him inexplicably, "You can figure it out. Anyway, she can't go back to the tree demon now, and you have set up an enchantment in this pavilion, so the tree demon can't peep, so you can let her stay here." Can."

Yan Chixia didn't expect that Xia Anqian would kill him without burying her, so she stared at Xia Anqian.

Xia An shrugged his shoulders, looking very helpless, "You don't have a magic weapon in your hand, so you can't help the tree demon. Although An Feng can also swallow the tree demon in one gulp, but the tree demon doesn't know how many lonely people like Nie Xiaoqian are in his hands." Soul ghost, if they swallow her like this, Nie Xiaoqian and the others may have no reincarnation, and they can only be wiped out."

Yan Chixia rubbed her forehead with some headaches, feeling that the woman in front of her was definitely not here to help but to disrupt the situation.

Xia Anqian brought An Feng into the East Wing. Jin Feng was looking out from the window sill in the room. Seeing Xia Anqian and An Feng coming in, he breathed a sigh of relief, "An Qian, you are back!"

Before Xia Anqian could speak, An Feng, who was beside her, cheered and rushed forward. Xia Anqian was taken aback, and saw a tall figure appearing in the empty place in front of him. He saw An Feng rushing forward. Come over, hug him with a smile and throw him up.

He steadily caught An Feng in mid-air, and looked at Xia Anqian with some disapproval in his long and narrow eyes, "What did I tell you before I left?" She just turned around, and she turned around. Go and catch the female ghost under the tree demon.

Xia Anqian met his gaze, probably because she was wrong, so her gaze flickered slightly.Then she adjusted her expression and said innocently: "I didn't provoke her on purpose. She insisted on provoking me. I don't act first. Do I wait for them to deal with me?"

"I finally found out that you are the best at obeying yang and yin against you." Hei Wuchang's voice sank slightly.

The carp spirit is timid by nature, when he heard the voice of Mr. Ghost Messenger, something seemed wrong, so he hurriedly rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and ran away.An Feng is small and bold, he probably didn't notice that the ghost was so angry that he was so angry, so he was very happy to climb down from Hei Wuchang's body, and then moved the big steel knife in his hand.

Xia Anqian raised her eyelids when she heard the words, and those eyes looked at Hei Wuchang, "My lord."

Heiwuchang looked at her.

"My lord, are you angry?"

Hei Wuchang came back to his senses, feeling that after a hundred years in the world, this Xia Anqian seemed to have become a little annoying, and it could easily make him, who was not very good-tempered, a little impetuous.Hei Wuchang remembered that when he went back to the underworld just now, he found it very annoying to see the ghosts that Bai Wuchang was counting and did not report to the underworld on time.So, the ghost frowned.

Seeing his appearance, Xia Anqian suddenly remembered that she was thinking of treating him better when she saw him just now.Apart from other things, she must do the most basic principle of being grateful.

Therefore, Xia Anqian saw that the ghost made the adult look a little irritable, and immediately adjusted his strategy, his voice softened as if to explain, "Mr. Hades may only be for a while, but it has been more than ten days in this Lanruo Temple. I originally It’s not to make trouble, but recently there have been villagers from the mountain going up the mountain. Although some were rescued by Yan Chixia, some died. Well... I used illusion on a whim, but who would have thought that the female ghost could be so good? Shallow, did not see through."

Heiwuchang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "So you take my words as wind on your ears, is it reasonable?"
