There is a starving ghost in Qingyun Temple

Chapter 9 Lock Longjing 09
Shen Huihe packed up his robes and bags, packed the talisman paper and the small green sword that had just been taken off, and went with him.

By the small river, the water trickles and is as gentle as a mirror, insects and birds chirp, and the breeze blows on your face.

If it weren't for the three green-faced and motionless men lying on the gravel and dirt floor, this place would be a perfect place to stay.

There were some strange noises on the other side of the river after midnight yesterday. Li Yun and his party followed them all the way and finally found the three people lying dying and unconscious by the river.He ordered people to search for suspicious people within a five-mile radius, and Shen Huihe became an undoubted suspect in their eyes for murder and robbery.

She squatted down and took a closer look at the bodies of the two young men.Their robes were intact and neat, but their faces were blue and their breathing was weak.She squinted her eyes, raised her hand to explore the back of one of them's neck, and then lowered her head to smell the strong smell.

Her index finger and middle finger were stained with a little bright red powder, and there was a strong smell of powder!

She turned around to see the condition of the other young man. As expected, it was exactly the same as the previous one!
"What's wrong? Is there any hope?" The middle-aged man called Uncle Chen asked impatiently.

Shen Huihe ignored him and stood up and walked towards the young man beside him. This young man should be the young man Awei whom the village chief Hu Si mentioned that day. He looked like he was only twelve or thirteen years old. He looked at Their faces looked better than those two people just now.

She raised her hand to reach behind his neck, carefully examined his wrists and ankles, and breathed a faint sigh of relief.

She reached into one of her sleeves and took out a small black-brown wooden box. She was suddenly grabbed by the wrist by the man beside her.The thick and solid warmth flowed through the robe to her wrists, and then soaked into her cold arms unbridled, making her shudder.

"what are you going to do?!"

Shen Huihe looked up at him with a smile, and at the same time threw away his hand mercilessly.

"It seems that this person is a bit unusual for Boss Li."

"What on earth are you going to do?" Li Yun frowned, his eyes showing naked scrutiny and caution.

"The situation of this young man is somewhat different from the two men just now. There are still three souls left in his body. This is the Tianzun Baoyuan Pill, which can temporarily protect the three souls left in his body, so he still has some time. There is a chance that we can save him. But—"

"But what?"

"Only seven days at most."

He was startled, his eyes were stern, and he bowed respectfully with his hands clasped in his fists: "Thank you so much, Taoist nun, and please try your best, Taoist nun, because he has been alone and helpless since he was a child, so he shouldn't die here easily."

"Hmph!" Shen Huihe patted his sleeves and robe in disgust, as if he wanted to clean up the places he had just touched, "I can save him, but I can't give you this Tianzun Baoyuan Pill for free. of."

"Please tell me, Taoist nun, I will do my best."

The corners of her eyebrows were frivolous and she waved her fingers in front of his eyes.

Uncle Chen saw her gesture clearly and took the initiative to respond: "Little lady, if you need a hundred dollars -"

She waved her fingers and turned to stare at Li Yun, who had a gloomy expression on her side. At this time, her smile was as beautiful as the flowers in June: "One thousand dollars."

"A thousand dollars?!" Uncle Chen's face was full of astonishment, "How dare you, a little lady, to open your mouth like a lion——"

"I'm not making a deal with you, I'm making a deal with this majestic Boss Li." She said with a smile, "Five hundred dollars is the price of this Tianzun Baoyuan Pill, and the other five hundred dollars is what I want Try your best to save the young man’s hard-earned money. How about it? Are you willing to give it up? Well, if you are not willing to give it up—"

"Deal!" Li Yun agreed without hesitation, "I also ask the Taoist nun to try her best to save Awei. I am very grateful."

His faint eyes revealed extremely sincere urgency and determination, thinking that this person was indeed very important to him.

Shen Huihe originally just wanted to embarrass him a little, but he never expected that he would agree so readily.She lowered her head slightly, looked stunned, and coughed twice to hide her discomfort.

She took a pill for the young man, placed three or four ghost-repelling talismans on him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm still [-]% sure about this young gentleman, Ah Wei, but those two young gentlemen, I'm afraid they are immortals who are powerless to save their lives."

"Why is this?" Li Yun followed her to the two of them and asked in confusion.

Shen Huihe had a charming smile, and his round, clear eyes stared at him with interest, as if they wanted to penetrate his dark pupils and reveal the obscure secrets in his eyes.

"Boss Li, do you know which three things men in this world are most obsessed with?"

Li Yun frowned. Although he had a vague conclusion in his heart, he still motioned for her to continue.

"The first is power, the second is seeking wealth, and the third is greed. What do you think is the only thing that can seduce these two strong young men in this barren mountain?" She shook her head noncommittally. Shaking his head, "Oh, isn't it just about sex?! Sex is the name of the word, it's really harmful!"

She motioned him to squat down and look carefully at the backs of the necks of the two husbands. The two looked at each other with a stern look in their eyes.

It was stained with dots of vermilion powder, which was also mixed with extremely fine faint yellow powder.

"If I guessed correctly, this should be the flower seed powder of cattail grass." She said in a low voice.

Cattail grass, cattail grass, why is it cattail grass again!
"I'm afraid these two gentlemen have greedy and evil thoughts to do evil. People are at their most vulnerable when they are in love, and the female ghost easily took away their three souls and seven souls. But this young man Lang Jun may have accidentally broken into the three of them. He was kind-hearted and had no evil thoughts. Naturally, the female ghost could not take away the three strongest souls of Tian Chong, Ling Hui and Zhen Qi in his body. Therefore, there may be a rescue within seven days. .”

"I see. What should we do next?" His eyes darkened, thoughtfully.

"Boss Li, do you know where the nearest lively town is?" she asked suddenly.

Uncle Chen behind him came to his senses and responded quickly and respectfully: "As for Taoist aunt, there happens to be a bustling town 25 miles away. It is a must-stop stop for Shangyi tourists traveling from north to south."

Shen Huihe stood up straight again, wiped the rouge powder from his fingers, and nodded slightly with a smile: "So, I just have something to ask of Boss Li."

Li Yun was startled, staring at her smiling face expressionlessly, but his heart was filled with confusion, wondering what trick she was going to use again.

She tiptoed towards him, but she still couldn't reach his gentle, jade-like face and round, smooth ears.She waved her hand at him, motioning for him to bend down slightly.
