I am immortal.

Chapter 12

"Selling ghosts?!"

Li Yuelin's face was slightly stagnant, there are all kinds of business in the world, but he has never heard of anyone selling ghosts, he was anxious and puzzled, and hurriedly urged: "What's going on, tell me quickly. "

Li Yi took a sip of tea first, recalled a bit, and then slowly started talking.

........................

It was a night trip, and I was doing business near the capital.

I calculated carefully, and I always felt that even if I didn't make much money, at least I won't lose all my money if I cling to those big shots.

Unfortunately, I still lost.

I'm so stupid, so stupid.

Those big figures in the dynasty are friendly on the surface, but when they start their actions, they are darker than anyone else, more ruthless than anyone else, drained of bone marrow, stripped of flesh and blood, they can't do it at all. stay.

Losing money, I have no face to go back to my hometown.

I had no choice but to hang around outside, thinking and thinking, to see if I could find a way to make money, but I still couldn't think of it. I wanted to go home, but I was really unwilling to go back to my hometown in such a disgraceful manner. ah.

Walking around, I don't know when, I came under the old locust tree on Sanli Road outside the city.

It was at this time that I encountered ghosts.

Then it suddenly appeared.

I dared to ask it who it was.

He said, "I am a ghost!"

Then asked me: "Who do you ask?"

I was so poor that I was dying, but I was still afraid of death, saying that death is inevitable, so I gritted my teeth and said, "I am also a ghost!"

The ghost was very puzzled, walked around me for a while, and said:
"Where are you going then?"

I answered him, "I'm going to Wancheng Dashi."

The ghost said happily: "I want to go to Wancheng too!"

My hands and feet felt cold all at once, and I knew that this big city might not be the same thing, but the words had already been spoken, and there was no way to swallow them back.

So, the ghost followed me.

I had no choice but to go with him.

There was a ghost behind me, my limbs were all stiff, but the ghost was relaxed and said, "It's too slow and tiring to walk like this, how about we carry each other on our backs?"

The ghost stared at me, with a pair of green eyes, I dare not refuse, for fear of being seen by him.

Just grit your teeth and agree.

The ghost first carried me on its back and walked ten miles in one breath.

Then he asked: "Why is Qing so heavy, isn't it a ghost?"

When the ghost was talking, his eyeballs turned green, and fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth, drooling.

At that time, my heart was about to stop beating, so I forced myself to say:

"I just died, so it's just heavier, don't think too much about it."

Then it was me who carried him on my back, so light and light, so I was able to speed up my pace. This way, I switched back and forth three times. The fear in my heart was a little less. It is inevitable to be eaten by ghosts, so I lied to him:

"I just died and became a ghost. Are there any taboos for being a ghost?"

The ghost replied, "I don't like blood on the tip of my tongue."

When I walked forward, I encountered a river. When the ghost passed by, it almost floated past without the slightest sound. When I passed by, the sound was very loud.

The ghost began to doubt me again.

This time, his eyes glowed red, and the corners of his mouth were already dripping with saliva. Even his fingers had black nails sticking out, like hooks, and his fingers turned green:
"Why is it so loud?!"

My heart was about to jump, but he didn't seem to notice.

I had no choice but to brace my face and say:
"I just died. I'm a ghost. I'm not used to crossing the river like a ghost. Don't blame me."

The ghost stared at me up and down without making a sound.

I think it's not that he can't recognize me, but that he treats me as a beast mount, intending to sell me only after I reach the ghost market, dig out my heart, pull out my tendons...

Sure enough, he didn't go to the regular big market, but went under the big pagoda tree outside Wancheng, knocked on the door three times, shouted several times to open the door, and then came out in front of him. If there is an opportunity, pick him up at once.

Quickly ran inside and shouted: "Selling ghosts, selling ghosts!"

The ghost didn't expect--

When people are poor, ghosts will sell them.

The ghost yelled on my body, and when it was about to climb down, it cast a transformation technique and turned into a sheep. When it broke free, I bit my tongue, and the blood from the tip of my tongue sprayed on his body, so he couldn't Change again.

But I was worried that after a long time, he would change back, so I sold him to an old Taoist priest, who led the sheep away with a rope inlaid with jade.

A package was given to me, my heart was beating so hard, I ran back to a safe place, opened it, and almost dazzled my eyes.

There are a full 150 taels of gold in it.

………………

The pot of tea is finished.

Li Yixian's story is also finished. When he spoke, his palms were trembling, and he finally settled down. It can be seen that even though his memory is clear now, he was so scared at the time.

If you make a wrong step, even one step, you may be dead.

Li Yuelin almost forgot to drink tea, and then comforted his brother with a loud voice, but Li Yi let out a breath first, and said: "But, it's all right now, we have so much gold, so much, so much gold ah."

"Our family is not only able to gain a foothold here."

"You can still go out, go to Fucheng, go to the county town!"

"Go somewhere bigger!"

"Guangzong Yaozu, I didn't feel sorry for my ancestors, nor did I feel sorry for my parents!"

Li Yixian's words became a little confused again.

Li Yuelin comforted him, and suddenly thought of something, looked at the gold on the table, and said: "But these gold, after all, were obtained by selling evil ghosts in that ghost market, will it attract more people?" Devil?"

Li Yi shook his head first and said, "Don't worry, brother."

"I was worried about such things, so I went to the capital, prayed devoutly in the Taoist temple there, and invited the Taoist priest to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil. Then I felt relieved and returned to my home in Zhongzhou."

"When I go home this time, I don't plan to go out again."

"Get married and settle down."

"rest assured."

Li Yixian smiled and comforted:
"Absolutely, absolutely nothing will happen."

Click!

The ax fell, splitting the firewood.

Qi Wuhuo picked up the axe, looked at the firewood that had been split and piled up next to him, and then raised his head to look at the mountain in the distance—under the sun, this mountain gave people a sense of tranquility and serenity.

"The snow is not heavy, and the mountain has not been closed."

"It's a good thing."

Speaking of which, tomorrow is the time for Li Puyu to invite him to Li's house.
