[Comprehensive] Traveling through Liaozhai with a hundred ghosts

After rectifying the seedlings here, they have been staying there for half a month without knowing it.

Along with the thunder of stinging stings, after the beginning of spring, the ice floes on the river gradually melted, and the aquatic plants in the river began to increase. Xu Hang remembered their goal at the beginning of this journey - the water mang ghost.

One day, they came to a place called Nancun. While drinking tea under a big tree in the village, they saw an old woman with gray temples and a howling child on her back. She was doing farm work. She had a sad face. bitter look.Xu Hang thought she was unfilial from the descendants of the family, but secretly shook his head, but at this moment, the villagers who were also resting under the tree next to her talked about it.

"I wish the old lady was so pitiful. Her husband passed away early, and her only son was killed by a water mang ghost at the end of last year. The daughter-in-law was too young to keep the festival. She left her one-year-old child and remarried. Now she is the only one left. I'm working hard to support my grandson."

Finding out that it was related to the water reckless ghost, Xu Hang couldn't help but pay more attention.

Soon, someone next to him echoed: "Yes, speaking of which, the Kou family is too unkind. There is only one son in their family."

Hearing this, Xu Hang couldn't help asking: "What's going on? Didn't you say that Zhu Sheng was killed by the Shui Mang Ghost? Why did the Kou family get involved?"

The person next to him heard a strange voice, turned around, saw the two people with extraordinary appearance, and couldn't help muttering in his heart after being amazed: These two people are so eye-catching, they should be very attractive to others, why are they in this place? He sat down here and didn't notice it just now?

But it was just a little confused, and soon, the person replied: "Because the one who wanted to pull Zhusheng to die for him was the daughter of the Kou family, Kou Sanniang. The Kou family is a rich man in our local area. The water mangcao is dead."

Then someone said: "The person who has been tricked by the Shui Mang Ghost and is going to be dragged to die for him, if he knows the name of the Shui Mang Ghost, just ask for the trousers she wore when she was alive, and drink the decoction to relieve it. You don’t have to be dragged to take a surrogate death. But at that time, Zhu Shengqiu came to Kou’s house and begged for a long time, but the Kou family was unmoved because her daughter had found a surrogate ghost to reincarnate, and in the end Zhu Sheng could only pass away with hatred.”

Xu Hang frowned when he heard the words, and said disapprovingly: "The Kou family's move is inappropriate."

Then he inquired, "But how did Zhu Sheng get poisoned in the first place?"

The villagers replied: "I heard that when Zhu Sheng went to visit his friends, he saw a tea stand on the road. Because he was thirsty, he asked for a bowl of tea to drink. Unexpectedly, it was a stall set up by Shuimang ghost."

Xu Hang recalled what Nie Xiaoqian said at the beginning, and thought that this was probably the tea stall, he said, "Is there an old woman serving tea at the tea stall?"

"That's right, I don't know if I'm with Kou Sanniang."

After asking, Xu Hang stopped talking, and left the village with Yu Zaoqian not long after.

And the villagers under the tree chatted for a while, and when they were about to disperse and go to work, the person who answered Xu Hang looked around and wondered, "Huh? When did those two people leave just now?"

As for Xu Hang's side at this time, he and Yu Zaoqian walked on the dirt roads around the village for a while, and finally saw a tea stall on the bank of a river.

An old woman was busy in the tea stall. Although there were not many people passing by here, there were still a few people passing by from time to time. Moreover, it was spring now, and the scenery on both sides of the river bank was not bad. People began to go out here for a spring break. They had been walking for a long time. , I can’t help but feel thirsty, and I am naturally pleasantly surprised to see someone serving tea, so I will come here to ask for a bowl of tea.

Xu Hang looked at it from a distance for a while, and there were quite a few people who would beg for tea, and Yu Zaoqian was beside him, looking at the riverside scenery full of spring in a pleasant mood.

"Let's go." Xu Hang said, and then the two arrived at the tea stand.

The old woman looked kind and kind, she smiled and wanted to be with her, no wonder no one doubted her.

Seeing someone stopping in front of her stall again, the old woman asked, "Do you two want a bowl of tea?"

Xu Hang found that the other party was also very calm. Seeing him and Yu Zaoqian standing in front of him, he still looked normal, as if he hadn't noticed anything.

"Yeah." Xu Hang also pretended not to know, and planned to wait and see first.

Soon, the old woman served them two bowls of tea. After Xu Hang took them, he found that the tea had a strong aroma, which made people feel saliva.

After Yu Zaoqian took the tea, he just hooked the corners of his mouth, and then drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, he said to Xu Hang, "The tea brewed by Shuimangcao tastes pretty good."

His volume was neither loud nor low, and he didn't hide what he said. The old woman's expression froze slightly, but she still pretended to be confused and said: "Young master, I can't understand what you mean."

Xu Hang knew that for them, the toxin of the water mangcao would not pose a threat at all, but it was different for ordinary people.Now that it's been said to the blunt point, Xu Hang simply stopped going around in circles, and said directly, "You are Mrs. Ni, right? Because you couldn't trick anyone into taking your place as a dead ghost, you simply joined forces with Grandma Shu and wantonly poisoned innocent people here. Such behavior is indistinguishable from evil spirits, and it cannot be tolerated by heaven."

Mrs. Ni didn't panic after her identity was exposed, and she still stood there calmly, still with that kind and kind look on her face.

"It seems that I can no longer pretend to be confused. You are right. I have been wandering here for decades, and because I have not been able to escape, I feel resentful. I just want more people to suffer like me." Ni The old lady Shi Shiran said, "Isn't the immortal king here today to punish the old man? But let me be blunt, the ordinary people who drink my tea here, as long as I think about it, they will die of poison."

The conversation between them has already been heard by the people next to them. The people who were sitting comfortably drinking tea at the tea stall already felt bad when they learned that Mrs. Ni was a Shuimang ghost. Hearing this again, They were all terrified.Someone immediately begged Xu Hang: "Please save us quickly! We don't want to become water reckless ghosts!"

When Xu Hang saw that Mrs. Ni was threatening the lives of ordinary people, he felt a feeling of anger in his heart: "I don't know how to repent when I'm about to die!"

Yuzao's expression also became dangerous: "How dare you be so arrogant in front of me!"

But old lady Ni didn't wait for them to take action, and suddenly activated the toxin. Taking advantage of the colic in the stomach of the person next to him, when Xu Hang's attention was slightly diverted, she immediately jumped into the water and disappeared without a trace in an instant. trace.

Yuzao realized that a few bursts of spiritual energy hit the water, blasting the river into four or five meter high water columns, but the old lady Ni was insidious and cunning, and the river was originally the territory of the water reckless ghost, so she escaped.

Yuzao suddenly lost his good mood, turned around and Xu Hang was trying to detoxify the people on the ground who were hugging their stomachs and crying.Fortunately, when Xu Hang was awarded the title of fairy book in the sky, he was rewarded with a batch of elixir and fairy grass. He boiled a elixir that could cure hundreds of poisons with water from the rest of the tea stall, and then gave the poisoned elixir After everyone drank a bowl of water, these people quickly excreted toxins and felt relaxed and active, as if their dark diseases and old injuries had been healed.

Knowing that this was probably a fairy medicine, these people were very grateful to Xu Hang, and some even knelt down to him and called him a fairy after receiving treatment.

Xu Hang said to them: "Please remind the people around you not to accept tea from strangers in the near future."

These people almost lost their lives just now, so they naturally believed in his words, and immediately promised them again and again.

After arranging this place, Xu Hang said to Yuzao: "That old ghost is very cunning, and this area is her territory. We may have difficulty in getting her."

Yuzao snorted coldly: "Then we will pull out all the weeds in the river, if you don't believe it, we won't force her to show up."

Xu Hang nodded. At this moment, he noticed a bright and attractive girl walking towards this side. Xu Hang realized that she was a ghost, and had an intuition that it was related to Mrs. Ni, so he immediately went to catch her.

Xu Hang's expression was indifferent and serious, without any sympathy, he directly trapped her with the demon rope, and then asked sternly, "Who are you? What is your relationship with Mrs. Ni?"

When the young girl met an expert who was difficult to get along with, she immediately reported the truth: "I am Kou Sanniang. I served tea with Mrs. Ni before and asked someone to die for her. Because of old age, Mrs. Ni was confused and couldn't find someone to die for her. After a long time, she has cultivated some mana, and she is quite powerful among the ghosts in this area, and she can get the flattery of the local ghosts from time to time, and after receiving better treatment than before, she simply gave up the idea of ​​reincarnation."

Xu Hang heard her self-reported name, and immediately said: "Are you the Kou Sanniang who killed Zhu Sheng at the end of last year?"

Seeing that he knew about her affairs, Kou Sanniang immediately looked a little ashamed and ugly: "It's a good girl, it's rare to find someone who is willing to die for being deceived, I just want to be reincarnated earlier, so..."

Yuzao said displeasedly: "Since I found a substitute to die years ago, why haven't I been reincarnated for so long?"

Kou Sanniang was a little hesitant, seeing that Yuzao couldn't fool her, she had to say: "I didn't expect Zhu Sheng to have a strong personality. Before he died, he swore that he would never let me be reincarnated like this. After learning that I will be reincarnated in Ren Shilang's house , just guard outside Ren Shilang's house every day, waiting to arrest me."

Yuzao said with a smile: "This Zhusheng is a little angry."

Kou Sanniang lowered her head obediently, not daring to refute.

Xu Hang asked her: "Then why are you going back to Mrs. Ni?"

Kou Sanniang said: "Zhu Sheng is guarding Ren Shilang's house. I can't reincarnate, and I have nowhere to go. I just think that Old Madam Ni is a place to stay."
